《Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Did I not die? How did I end up here?¡± Li Chengqian stared blankly at the familiar classroom. He couldn¡¯t wrap his head around the situation. At this moment, Li Chengqian saw the words on the blackboard. ¡°Grade 12 Class 5!¡± ¡°Countdown 100 days to the college entrance examination!¡± Li Chengqian immediately sobered up and carefully looked at the familiar surroundings. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling. ¡°It¡¯s Tianyi High School, Grade 12 Class 5! 100 days before the college entrance examination!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not dead! I¡¯ve been reborn!¡± In order to verify that everything in front of him was not a dream, Li Chengqian pinched his thigh hard. Li Chengqian grimaced in pain, but he was overjoyed. ¡°I¡¯m reborn! I¡¯ve actually been reborn!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Looking at the big words on the blackboard pronouncing that they were 100 days away from the college entrance examination, Li Chengqian¡¯s tears flowed uncontrollably. ¡°In my previous life, because I failed the college entrance examination, my parents got into a traffic accident on the way to register me for a repeat year!¡± His parents were usually extremely strict with him. However, when he failed the college entrance examination, although his parents had a trace of disappointment in their eyes, the two of them comforted him instead of scolding him. Then, they tried all means to get Li Chengqian to repeat his studies at the best high school. Ten years have passed, but Li Chengqian could still remember the disappointment in his parents¡¯ eyes. The traffic accident was Li Chengqian¡¯s lifelong regret, not a day goes by without him regretting it. ¡°Since I¡¯ve been reborn, I definitely can¡¯t let the regrets of my previous life happen. I must study hard and change the fate of my previous life.¡± Li Chengqian had determination in his eyes. Just then, a piece of chalk was thrown from the front of the classroom, hitting Li Chengqian right on his head. ¡°Li Chengqian, you scored 28 marks in English this time, and you still have the cheek to be distracted!¡± Teacher Wang Jianjia was stern on the podium. She had expected better from him. The classroom was instantly filled with the students¡¯ laughter. ¡°Pay attention. If I find you distracted again, you¡¯ll get it from me!¡± Seeing Li Chengqian standing there in a daze, looking especially helpless, Wang Jianjia softened her stance, and her tone became gentler, ¡°Li Chengqian, sit down. There are still 100 days before the college entrance examination. You still have a chance. Believe in yourself, don¡¯t give up!¡± ¡°Teacher, I won¡¯t give up. I will study hard. I will definitely get into university.¡± Li Chengqian finally came to his senses at this point and spoke extremely solemnly. He wanted to make up for the regrets of his previous life. The college entrance examination was only the first step. In his previous life, the college entrance examination was the beginning of his nightmare. In this life, he wanted to change everything. Wang Jianjia looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, but she was sighing in her heart, ¡°If only Li Chengqian was as determined when he was in his first year of high school, he might really have been able to get in. It is really too late now for him to come to his senses. ¡°It¡¯s just as well for you to come to your senses now. As long as you are determined, even if you fail to get in this year, you might be able to get in next year.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± At this moment, Liu Daqiang from the class sneered. Everyone¡¯s attention was now focused on Liu Daqiang. ¡°Liu Daqiang, what are you laughing at? You are being very rude!¡± Wang Jianjia said unhappily and looked at him sternly. Liu Daqiang¡¯s family was especially wealthy. He misbehaved in school, often caused trouble and was a bully. He was a real trouble maker. Wang Jianjia could of course hear the disdain and ridicule in Liu Daqiang¡¯s voice. She also understood why Liu Daqiang laughed. Liu Daqiang was obviously laughing at the fact that Li Chengqian had the guts to claim that he would make it to university despite his lousy grades. Liu Daqiang lowered his head, but he had a smirk on his face. Li Chengqian made it to university? What a joke! Li Chengqian only scored 280 marks out of 750 marks in the mock exam! If Li Chengqian could make it to a university, he could make it to an elite school! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue with class.¡± Li Chengqian heard Liu Daqiang¡¯s mocking laughter but thought nothing of it. With his current grades and his previous learning attitude, he felt that it was normal for anyone to laugh at him. ¡°No matter what you say, it¡¯s not convincing. The only thing that¡¯s convincing is results!¡± He knew that if he wanted to change the way others thought of him, he could only do so by improving his results. If he wanted to change his fate in his previous life, he had to start from the college entrance examination. He could only change his fate by getting into a university. Li Chengqian tried hard to calm his mind and to focus on the teacher¡¯s lecture. Subsequently, Li Chengqian¡¯s brows furrowed tightly because he realized that he couldn¡¯t understand the teacher¡¯s lecture at all! Teacher Wang Jianjia¡¯s English was like Greek to him. He couldn¡¯t understand a single word. ¡°I¡¯ve been out of practice for too long. I¡¯ve basically forgotten everything about English.¡± In his previous life, Li Chengqian had no aptitude for English to begin with, and his English results were especially poor. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t have been a situation where he scored 28 marks. After graduating from high school, there was no need for him to use English. He had forgotten almost all his English knowledge. ¡°Looks like I need to work even harder if I want to pick up what I¡¯ve learnt from the textbooks.¡± Li Chengqian laughed self-deprecatingly, without the slightest intention of giving up. He didn¡¯t understand the teacher¡¯s lecture because he didn¡¯t have a good command of English vocabulary. After Li Chengqian realized this, he turned to the vocabulary list in his English textbook and was prepared to start from the basics. A line of text flashed before his eyes¡­ [All-Class Master game in progress¡­] [Game initiated successfully¡­] [You have successfully entered the Student Class. Current Student Class Level 0¡­] A translucent web page appeared in front of Li Chengqian. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Class: Student Level 0 (0/1) Skill: None Experience Pool: 0 ¡°This is¡­ the Class Interface of an All-Class Master game? The All-Class Master game that I was playing in my previous life, and when I was reborn it became my game cheat?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart raced wildly, and he was extremely excited. All-Class Master was a game. In the game, players could take on various jobs. Players could level up their job classes via their experience. After reaching a certain level, one could obtain skills. Just like the Student Class displayed on the interface. Student Class was the basic class in the All-Class Master game. If one wanted to take on another job, there was a requirement for the level of the Student Class. When a Student Class leveled up to Level 1, one would obtain Skill Focus. When leveled up to Level 3, Elementary School knowledge would appear. When leveled up to Level 5, one would obtain Middle School knowledge. When leveled up to Level 7, one would obtain High School knowledge. At Level 9, one would obtain University knowledge. It is possible to continue further leveling up. Skills obtained from class upgrades were divided into Novice, Competent, Proficient, Expert and Master stages according to proficiency levels. Skill perfection meant that one had completely mastered everything without missing any detail! The proficiency levels of skills could also be increased through the Experience Bar. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°If All-Class Master works in real life as well¡­¡± ¡°As long as I raise my Student Class to Level 7 and raise my Elementary, Middle, and High School knowledge to Perfection level, I can get full marks for the college entrance examination.¡± ¡°I remember that in the game, the Experience Bar of the Student Class can be obtained by reading books and listening to lectures!¡± ¡°For every minute I read, I can obtain 1 Experience Bar! For every minute I listen to the teacher¡¯s lecture, I can obtain 10 Experience Bars.¡± ¡°I wonder if the rules for obtaining Experience Bars are the same in real life?¡± A thought flashed through Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Then, he focused his attention on Teacher Wang Jianjia¡¯s lecture again. He needed to verify if the Experience Bar acquisition rules in the All-Class Master game in his previous life were the same in reality. Just one minute later, lines of text appeared in front of him. [You have accumulated 1 minute of listening time in class. You have received 10 Experience Bars.] [Your Student Class level has increased to Level 1 (9/10).] [Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.] [You have obtained Skill: Focus (Entry 0/1).] [Focus: In a focused state, your memory and comprehension ability will increase greatly. You will obtain ten lines at a glance and a photographic memory. Skill Duration: 10 minutes. Cool down: 24 hours.] Li Chengqian looked at the lines of notifications flashing past, and his heart was incomparably excited. These scenes were exactly the same as the All-Class Master game he played in his previous life. There was no difference, whether it was the way to obtain Experience Bars or the skills obtained from leveling up his Class. ¡°I can¡¯t be too happy so soon. I still need to test if the skills really work in reality!¡± Li Chengqian suppressed the excitement in his heart. It wasn¡¯t time to be happy yet. He could only be truly at ease when he had confirmed that all the functions and skills in the All-Class Master game could be effective in real life. It was really simple to verify if the functions of the All-Class Master game were really effective! As long as the Skill Focus that he had just obtained could take effect in reality¡­ This meant that all the functions of All-Class Master had been brought over. The unbelievable functions in the game could all become a reality. In an instant, Li Chenggqian thought of the powerful classes in the game and those BUG-like skills. Li Chengqian started hyperventilating. Then, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned his attention to the skills. ¡°Use the Focus Skill.¡± Li Chengqian felt an obvious difference the moment the skill was activated. He seemed to have been enlightened and suddenly became extremely clear minded. Everything around him looked very clear, and various Will-O-Wisp kept flashing in his mind. Li Chengqian was ecstatic, but he didn¡¯t stop his experiments. The changes in his senses were often affected by psychological factors. However, psychological factors wouldn¡¯t give an ordinary person a photographic memory. ¡°Read! Verify that you can speed read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory.¡± Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the English textbook. At a glance, he memorized the contents of one page in the book. Li Chengqian closed his eyes and recalled the contents. He realized that he had memorized all the contents without missing a single word. ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian was finally certain that the abilities of the All-Class Master game could really be brought into the real world. In order not to waste the time he had for using the Focus Skill, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and quickly began to flip through the book. With the enhancement of speed reading and photographic memory, he only needed two seconds to memorize all the content. Ten minutes later, the duration of the Focus Skill ended. He had already finished flipping through the Year Three English textbook. He closed the book and recalled the contents. From the first page to the last page, he even memorized the page numbers, and got every single punctuation mark correct. ¡°It¡¯s really effective! It¡¯s not a dream!¡± Li Chengqian was so excited that he started trembling. [You have read for 10 minutes. You have received 10 Experience Bars.] [Your Student Class level has increased to Level 1 (9/10).] [Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.] After his Intelligence Stats increased, Li Chengqian felt that his mind was clear. That feeling was like a person who had just woken up and was still a little groggy, and then suddenly sobering up after washing his face with cold water. Li Chengqian found that after his Intelligence Stats increased by 2 points, his mental ability, logical ability, and even memory all underwent significant changes. ¡°Amazing! Too amazing!¡± This change was completely different from adding two Stats in the game. In the game, the increase in Stats was only a number, but in reality, this change could be felt. After verifying that the game cheat was completely effective, Li Chengqian put down his book and focused his attention on Teacher Wang¡¯s lecture. 10 Experience Bars for listening to a lecture for 1 minute, and 1 Experience Bar for reading for 1 minute! There was a tenfold difference, anyone would know how to choose. Listening to lectures was the best choice. Reading books was second. Listening carefully to Teacher Wang¡¯s lecture, Li Chengqian realized the difference. Using the Focus Skill, he memorized all the English words for Year Three. Naturally, he also memorized all the 600 words he needed to learn in Year Three. As such, Li Chengqian realized that it was still very painful for him to listen to Teacher Wang Jianjia¡¯s lecture. He could understand a small portion of the lecture. But it was much better than before, when he couldn¡¯t understand a single word. At the same time, because his intelligence had increased and he had memorized the entire Year Three English textbook, he had memorized many words. However, he didn¡¯t know what these words meant. As long as the teacher mentioned them during the lecture, he could actually memorize most of them. Therefore, Li Chengqian paid close attention to the lesson. After one lesson, the number of words increased by 150. In terms of grammar, through the content mentioned in the teacher¡¯s lecture and comparing it to the textbook he had memorized, he was able to grasp the big concept. He had learned more from this lesson than from three years of high school in his previous life! After class, lines of text appeared on the translucent webpage in front of Li Chengqian. [You have listened to the class for 23 minutes. You have received 230 Experience Bars.] [Your Student Class level has increased to Level 3 (221/30).] [Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.] [You have obtained Skill: Elementary School knowledge (Proficient 30/60).] The moment the Elementary School Knowledge Skill appeared, Li Chengqian suddenly recalled all the classes in elementary school. He also remembered the content of the classes. If he thought about it carefully, he could even remember most of the textbook content. ¡°The All-Class Master game in reality is still very different from a game.¡± Li Chengqian sighed. The All-Class Master game in reality would integrate the knowledge learned by the host into the skill. Just like the Elementary School knowledge skill, it incorporates Li Chengqian¡¯s original knowledge and thoroughly consolidated it. In the game, all skills start from Novice level. Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios [Your Student Class level has increased to Level 4 (191/50)] [Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 14 points.] [Access to the Experience Pool activated. Experience will automatically be stored in the Experience Pool.] [Current Experience Pool: 191 points.] ¡°Open the personal interface!¡± Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart. The operation was exactly the same as in his previous life. It was just that in his previous life, he used the mouse to operate. Now, he used his mind to operate. Immediately, a translucent panel appeared. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 14 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Class: Student Level 4 (0/50) Skill: 1. Focus (Novice 0/1) ¡ü 2. Elementary School Knowledge (Master 53/60) ¡ü Experience Bar: 191 Seeing the plus sign behind the skill, Li Chengqian did not hesitate and directly began to add points. [7 Experience Bars consumed, Elementary Knowledge Skill (Master 0/150), 184 Experience Bars remaining.] [150 Experience Bars consumed, Elementary Knowledge Skill (Perfection), 34 Experience Bars remaining.] Suddenly, all the knowledge in the elementary school textbooks was completely grasped by Li Chengqian and integrated. 3,500 commonly used Chinese characters, 13,528 words, and 1,260 idioms¡­ Elementary School English vocabulary: 800 words, 198 grammar points, basic phonetic transcription, basic spelling, basic sentence structure¡­ Basic General Knowledge, Basic Painting, Basic Music, Basic Calligraphy, Basic Mathematics, Basic Arithmetic, Basic Computing, Basic Health, Basic Logic¡­ In an instant, a large amount of knowledge suddenly fused into Li Chengqian¡¯s memories, making Li Chengqian feel super fulfilled. ¡°I really didn¡¯t think that elementary school textbooks would actually have so many knowledge points!¡± Li Chengqian felt that it was inconceivable. After absorbing the Perfect Level of elementary school knowledge, he felt that his knowledge had improved greatly. He had accumulated at least ten times more knowledge than in his previous life. He felt that if he took the college entrance examination now, his results would be higher than in his previous life. In his previous life, he had scored 280 marks in the college entrance examination, just like the mock exam just now. English 55, Chinese 77, Mathematics 40, Science 108. If he took the test again now, he would definitely be able to score more than 90 marks for Chinese language. Li Chengqian had accumulated about 1,600 English vocabulary, he could also get more than 70 marks for the English language. ¡°If I take the college entrance examination now, I can score at least 300 points!¡± ¡°My fate has already begun to change!¡± Li Chengqian finally had a smile on his nervous face. Then, he picked up his Year Two English, flipped to the vocabulary list, and silently recited it. Vocabulary is the basic building block of English. As long as one memorized all the words and the grammar, English wouldn¡¯t be difficult. After starting to recite it, Li Chengqian realized that Year Two vocabulary was too simple! The Year Three textbooks he memorized contained most of the Year Two words. In other words, he had already memorized the spelling of the words. He only needed to memorize the meaning and pronunciation of the words to completely memorize the words. 14 points of intelligence allowed him to quickly recite the Year Two words at a speed of three words per minute. ¡°Dad, Mom, I won¡¯t disappoint you guys again this time! I won¡¯t let the tragedy of my previous life happen again.¡± Li Chengqian silently said in his heart, and began to focus on reading. Reading books could give him Experience Bars and knowledge. It was killing two birds with one stone! There were only 100 days left until the college entrance examination. He didn¡¯t want to waste time. This time, he wanted to stun everyone and give them a surprise. At this time, Liu Daqiang, who heard Li Chengqian say that he was determined to make it into university, walked over to Li Chengqian¡¯s desk and looked at him with an astonished expression. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you serious? You said you want to get into university? I remember that you only scored 280 marks in the mock exam¡­¡± Liu Da Qiang¡¯s face carried an exaggerated smile. ¡°280 marks, what university can you go to? Can you study in university from home?¡± Liu Daqiang was brazenly speaking loudly. After he finished speaking, he laughed mockingly. ¡°Haha!¡± The other students also laughed. Liu Daqiang¡¯s words were mean, but based on Li Chengqian¡¯s results, what Liu Daqiang said was the truth. It was just that his words were a bit hurtful. ¡°Liu Daqiang, please don¡¯t affect my studies! My current score is indeed 280 marks, but when the college entrance examination comes, my results will improve. I will definitely be able to go to university.¡± Li Chengqian said with extreme confidence. After he verified that the skills in the All-Class Master game were real and effective, Li Chengqian had shifted his goal from an ordinary university to the best university in the country. Li Chengqian was not surprised by Liu Daqiang¡¯s ridicule. Every time the exam ended, he would definitely come and mock Li Chengqian. Because¡­ He had a conflict with Liu Daqiang. The source of the conflict was his deskmate and neighbor, Jian Qingli! Jian Qingli was tall and well-endowed. She was young and pretty, and was the most attractive girl in class. Even in Tianyi High School, she was also highly ranked. Everyone liked beautiful girls. Liu Daqiang¡¯s family was wealthy and he did well in his studies. He had always wanted to woo Jian Qingli. In Year Two of high school, Liu Daqiang approached Li Chengqian and asked to swap seats with him. Li Chengqian refused. Because Jian Qingli¡¯s parents had specially gone to Li Chengqian¡¯s house to ask him to help take care of Jian Qingli. Therefore, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t let Liu Daqiang, who had ulterior motives, to get close to Jian Qingli. Just like that, the two of them became enemies! From that day onward, whenever Liu Daqiang had the opportunity, he would deliberately mock Li Chengqian. Sarcasm and ridicule were commonplace. Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Liu Daqiang laughed hysterically as if he had heard a joke. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you joking? You¡¯re a good-for-nothing who only scored 28 marks in English. You want to study? What are you learning! What university are you going to get into!¡± Then, Liu Daqiang snatched the Year Two English textbook from Li Chengqian and started to mock him, ¡°Li Chengqian, tell me, other than the Chinese characters on the cover, how many words inside do you know?¡± Li Chengqian had only picked up the Year Two English book for a minute. He basically knew how to spell the words, but there were only three words in total that he could spell and knew the meaning of. ¡°Li Chengqian, there are only 100 days left until the college entrance examination. It¡¯s too late to start working hard now!¡± Seeing that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say anything, Liu Daqiang became even more arrogant. ¡°This year, you definitely won¡¯t be able to get into university!¡± Liu Daqiang said resolutely with contempt. Although the other students didn¡¯t say anything, most of them shared the same thoughts as Liu Daqiang. They all felt that with Li Chengqian¡¯s foundation, no matter how hard he worked this year, it was impossible for him to get in. ¡°Liu Daqiang, it¡¯s not up to you whether I can pass or not!¡± ¡°When the college entrance examination results are out, you¡¯ll know whether I can make it.¡± ¡°Now, please stay away from me. Don¡¯t affect my studies.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was very cold. He took back the English book that Liu Da Qiang had snatched from him and looked at him icily. Liu Daqiang was going to flare up, but when he saw Li Chengqian¡¯s icy gaze, he felt a bit scared in his heart, and he swallowed the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth. ¡°Li Chengqian, everything is possible in your dreams. I wish you a happy daydream.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to wait for the college entrance examination. You¡¯ll understand what kind of person you are by the next monthly examination. You can¡¯t even get 200 marks. Getting into university is simply a dream.¡± Liu Daqiang took two steps back. He felt especially embarrassed and couldn¡¯t help mocking him. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Li Chengqian, I feel that you are very different today.¡± His deskmate, Jian Qingli, looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. Unlike before, Li Chengqian was speaking to Liu Daqiang boldly just now. Another point was Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze. She realized that Li Chengqian seemed especially energetic, and his eyes were sparkling like stars. Li Chengqian was shocked but he didn¡¯t show it. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Jian Qingli nodded affirmatively. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you serious about what you said to Liu Daqiang just now?¡± Jian Qingli asked curiously. ¡°Of course I am!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. After his Intelligence Stats reached 14 points, even if he was chatting with Jian Qingli, it wouldn¡¯t affect his ability to memorize words at the same time. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. She thought that Li Chengqian was just kidding Liu Daqiang. There were only 100 days to the college entrance examination after all. With Li Chengqian¡¯s foundation, even if he worked hard now, the chances of him getting into university were extremely slim. ¡°That¡¯s good too. Even if we can¡¯t get in this year, we can still prepare for the repeats next year.¡± She was Li Chengqian¡¯s deskmate. She knew Li Chengqian¡¯s results the best. She didn¡¯t believe that Li Chengqian would be able to get into university this year. Li Chengqian shook his head but didn¡¯t explain. ¡°Forget it. The monthly exam is only a week away. When the results are out, Jian Qingli will believe me.¡± He knew that no matter how he explained, Jian Qingli wouldn¡¯t believe him. In fact, the beautiful Jian Qingli was the person he had a crush on in his previous life. It was just that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t manage to get into university, and his parents got into a traffic accident. Li Chengqian fell into a state of depression, so he basically cut off all contact with Jian Qingli. It was seven years after their high school graduation when he next heard news about Jian Qingli. At Jian Qingli¡¯s wedding, her ex-boyfriend, Bi Jialiang, publicly exposed intimate photos of the two of them together. The wedding was then called off on the spot, and the two families were disgraced. Jian Qingli couldn¡¯t take the blow and the humiliation. She chose to end her young life. ¡°We¡¯re classmates and neighbors. I should remind her, lest she falls into the abyss and ends up in a miserable state.¡± Li Chengqian glanced at Jian Qingli. She was tall, had a curvaceous figure, fair skin, and beautiful facial features. She was indeed a great beauty. ¡°I heard that Jian Qingliu and Bi Jialiang got together in their third year of high school.¡± ¡°The students who attended the wedding said that the video and photos were taken at the end of the college entrance examination.¡± ¡°As long as Jian Qingli heeds my advice, her future tragedy will not happen. At least her life will not end in tragedy.¡± Li Chengqian collected his thoughts and focused his energy on memorizing the words. ¡°Jian Qingli, come out for a moment!¡± a boy with a mischievous smile shouted from outside the classroom. He had a layered haircut, and was wearing ripped jeans with a white shirt. ¡°It¡¯s Bi Jialiang!¡± ¡°I heard that Bi Jialiang has been wooing Jian Qingli recently,¡± a girl said sourly. ¡°Bi Jialiang is so handsome and his grades are so good. He¡¯s my idol, but he only has his eyes on Jian Qingli,¡± another girl said enviously. Not only was Bi Jialiang very good looking, his results were also top-notch. He came in the top 20 of Tianyi High School for every mock exam. If nothing unexpected happens, he would definitely be able to enter a good university. If he was lucky, he might even be able to enter a top school. Li Chengqian scored 280 marks in the mock exam, while Bi Jialiang scored 650 marks! Amidst everyone¡¯s hushed discussions, Jian Qing¡¯s beautiful face flushed red, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes. ¡°Jian Qingliu, you have to watch out for Bi Jialiang. He¡¯s not a good person.¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian thought of Jian Qingli¡¯s fate in her previous life. In his frenzy, he reminded her without thinking. He regretted it the moment the words came out. As all the bad things would only happen in the future, he had no basis for warning her. He might be misunderstood by Jian Qingli. Sure enough, after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Jian Qingli¡¯s face immediately turned ice-cold. ¡°Li Chengqian, in the past, I always felt that you were an honest person. I was wrong. I now know that you would actually maliciously badmouth others behind their backs.¡± In his previous life, Li Chengqian had even gone to Jian Qingli¡¯s grave to pay his respects. However, it was impossible for him to tell anyone about his rebirth. Even if he did, no one would believe him. ¡°Li Chengqian, you need to be able to substantiate everything. If you say Bi Jialiang isn¡¯t a good person, then show me the evidence.¡± Jian Qingli stared into Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. Li Chengqian was still unable to answer Jian Qingli¡¯s question. After all, this was something that would only happen in the future. He naturally couldn¡¯t produce any evidence. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m so disappointed with you.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice became extremely cold, just like the first time she met Li Chengqian. After saying that, Jian Qingli walked out of the classroom with a straight face. She stood with Bi Jialiang and held onto the railing. Soon, peals of laughter came from the two of them. ¡°No one would¡¯ve thought that this b*stard Bi Jialiang looks good, but he¡¯s actually a pervert¡­¡± If Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t been reborn, he wouldn¡¯t have thought that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be so evil. Bi Jialiang put up a really great front, be it in terms of appearance or grades. However, he actually exposed the intimate photos of the bride and another man at her wedding with all the relatives and friends present. How perverted was this! However, that was exactly what the handsome and kind-looking Bi Jialiang did! He had just been reborn. He only felt that Jian Qingli¡¯s fate in his previous life was too tragic. He didn¡¯t want to see Jian Qingli repeat her miserable fate in this life. In his haste, he didn¡¯t think before he said those words to warn Jian Qingli. However, Jian Qingli didn¡¯t believe him at all. It even caused Jian Qingli to misunderstand and dislike him. ¡°Forget it. When there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll remind her once. Even if you¡¯re intimate, don¡¯t take photos. This way, you can avoid the fate of your previous life.¡± However, Li Chengqian felt that he might be misunderstood as a pervert for reminding a girl not to take intimate photos with her boyfriend! Unless there was really no other way, he definitely couldn¡¯t say these words. ¡°It¡¯s better to read in peace and change my own fate first.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and focused on the book, silently memorizing and reciting. [You have read for 9 minutes. You have received 9 Experience Bars. You have 43 Experience Bars left in the Experience Pool.] When the bell rang, Teacher Wang Jianjia walked in and started the class. Li Chengqian put down the textbook and listened attentively. Then, he realized that he could understand most of the English classes that sounded like Greek in the past. He could also solve the grammar questions easily. He realized that the biggest problem now was that he didn¡¯t have enough vocabulary. As long as he brushed up his vocabulary, English was no longer difficult for him. While he couldn¡¯t guarantee a perfect score, there was definitely no problem with passing the test. So during the course of the lesson, Li Chengqian had a smile on his face the whole time. He could clearly feel the improvements and changes, ¡°I, Li Chengqian, will definitely be able to change my fate!¡± After the bell rang at noon, Teacher Wang Jianjia specially glanced at Li Chengqian. In this class, she could feel Li Chengqian¡¯s seriousness and hard work. But Li Chengqian¡¯s foundation was too weak. ¡°If only Li Chengqian had started working hard when he just began his third year of high school, he might have had a chance to get into university.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late now!¡± ¡°If he can maintain such a learning attitude, he might be able to get into university next year.¡± Wang Jianjia sighed in her heart and walked out of the classroom. As for Jian Qingli, she simply ignored Li Chengqian. She didn¡¯t even look at Li Chengqian during the lesson. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Chengqian didn¡¯t pay attention to Jian Qingli¡¯s reaction at all, nor did he care much. Jian Qingli was his crush in high school in his previous life, but not Li Chengqian¡¯s current crush. He reminded Jian Qingli only because her future was too tragic. As a classmate and neighbor, he couldn¡¯t bear to see her suffer. He didn¡¯t have any agenda about Jian Qingli. This was the last lesson in the afternoon. After the class ended, most of the students went out to eat. When Bi Jialiang appeared at the classroom door, Jian Qingli quickly walked out. In the entire classroom, only Li Chengqian didn¡¯t move because his attention was already attracted by the notification of the All-Class Master game in front of him. A line of text appeared on the translucent page that only he could see. [You have listened to the class for 50 minutes. You have received 500 Experience Bars. You have 543 Experience Bars left in the Experience Pool.] ¡°543 Experience Bars¡­ It¡¯s enough for me to level up again.¡± The smile on Li Chenggqian¡¯s face became more and more intense. The pleasure of leveling up was irresistible. Every time a Student Class level increased, the intelligence level would increase. One would feel that he could become smarter. This feeling of constantly becoming smarter was addictive. Apart from the increase in intelligence, when a Student Class level was below Level 10, one could obtain a skill with every two levels. The skill obtained at Student Class Level 5 was Middle School knowledge! After obtaining Middle School Knowledge, his knowledge would increase greatly. With Middle School Knowledge Skills to complete his basics, his results would also improve again. ¡°Open the personal interface!¡± Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 14 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Class: Student Level 4 (0/50) Skill: 1. Focus (Novice 0/1) ¡ü 2. Elementary School Knowledge (Perfection) Experience Bar: 543 After opening his personal interface, Li Chengqian began to increase his Student Class level without any hesitation. [50 Experience Bars consumed. Student Class increased to Level (0/80). 493 Experience Bars remaining.] [Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 15 points.] [You have obtained Skill: Middle School Knowledge (Competent 0/50).] When the student¡¯s Class was upgraded to Level 3, the Elementary School Knowledge level obtained was directly upgraded to Master after the skill appeared. The proficiency of Middle School Knowledge skill wasn¡¯t that high. It was only at the Competent level, and it seemed to have just recently attained this level. This meant that Li Chengqian¡¯s grasp of Middle School Knowledge was extremely poor. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my foundation in Middle School to be so bad! No wonder I couldn¡¯t cope with my studies after I entered High School, and my results became even worse.¡± Studying was like building a wall. The stronger the foundation, the easier it was to go up. If the foundation was not firm, the wall would collapse. After he had obtained Elementary School Knowledge Skill, with the help of the All-Class Master game, he immediately recalled most of his Elementary School Knowledge. Now that he had obtained Middle School Knowledge Skill, even with the help of the All-Class Game Master, he could only recall a very small amount of Middle School Knowledge. What appeared in his memory was a list of Middle School subject schedules, as well as the syllabus of each subject. Li Chengqian basically couldn¡¯t remember what the more specific things were. Li Chengqian glanced at the values in the Experience Pool and began to increase the skill level of his Middle School Knowledge. [50 Experience Bars consumed. Skills: Middle School (Master 0/100). 443 Experience Bars remaining.] [100 Experience Bars consumed. Skills: Middle School Knowledge (Perfection 0/250). 343 Experience Bars remaining.] [150 Experience Bars consumed. Elementary School Knowledge Skill (Perfection). 34 Experience Bars remaining.] After Li Chengqian upgraded his Middle School Knowledge Skill to Master level, a huge amount of information surged into Li Chengqian¡¯s memory. Middle School Civics and Moral Education, Law, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Languages, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, Sports, Health, Music, Art, Calligraphy, Basic Computing, Logic¡­ The contents of all the courses appeared verbatim in Li Chengqian¡¯s memory, and he instantly mastered them. In an instant, Li Chengqian mastered reading and writing in ancient and modern languages, as well as more than 5,000 new Chinese characters, more than 40, 000 words, and idioms. In Mathematics, he had thoroughly mastered equations, functions, and geometry. For English, his vocabulary had increased by 3,500, and he had mastered all 387 grammar points. Listening and writing had improved in all aspects. There were no shortcomings or omissions. With the help of the All-Class Master game, English was like his mother tongue, deeply implanted in his soul. Now, even if Li Chengqian was sent overseas, whether it was to live, study, or work, there would be no barriers in communication. After spending a full five minutes, Li Chengqian completely absorbed this enormous amount of knowledge. It was no exaggeration to say that he felt that his knowledge had increased tenfold from the previous foundation. Compared to when he absorbed Elementary School knowledge, he was now miles ahead. Li Chengqian had a smile on his face as he looked at the remaining 93 Experience Bars. ¡°I¡¯ll increase the level of the Focus Skill first. Focusing Skill is the magic wand for learning.¡± Although the All-Class Master game was amazing, it had shortcomings too. One had to advance step by step from Elementary School, Middle School, High School, University¡­ one had to progress level by level, and all of them were basic subjects. If Li Chengqian wanted to learn something other than these basic subjects, One way was to change occupations! The other method was self-study. The purpose of Focus Skills was precisely for self-study. ¡°Increase the level of the Focus Skill proficiency!¡± Li Chengqian placed his attention on Skill Focus. [1 Experience Bar consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Competent 0/10). 83 Experience Bars remaining.] [10 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Proficient 0/20). 73 Experience Bars remaining.] [20 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Expert 0/50). 53 Experience Bars remaining.] [10 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Master 0/20). 73 Experience Bars remaining.] [Focus (Master): In a focused state, your memory and comprehension ability will increase by ten times. You will obtain the ability to speed reading ten lines at a glance and a photographic memory. You will instantly be able to master a large amount of information. Skill Duration: 60 minutes (Currently, you can still use it for another 50 minutes). Cooldown: 24 hours.] After the Focus Skill was upgraded to Master level, the duration increased from 10 minutes to 1 hour. The description of memory and comprehension ability enhancement had also increased tenfold. He also added the description of ¡®instantly mastering a large amount of information¡¯. The meaning of mastery was complete understanding and agile ability to adapt the knowledge. He had already made a huge leap in Focus Skill. After his proficiency reached Master level, he still had 50 minutes of Focus Skill time to use for the day, but Li Chengqian did not use it immediately. With the power of Focus Skill, 50 minutes was enough to attain entry level proficiency for a difficult subject. The subjects needed for the college entrance examination could be obtained by leveling up. It was too wasteful to use the Focus Skill on this. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the library to take a look at the computer hardware section later and books on assembly language. I¡¯ll try to see if my Focus Skill can digest this very difficult knowledge in an extremely short period of time.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go eat first, I¡¯m starving.¡± When Li Chengqian came back to his senses, he felt an intense hunger attack and hurriedly walked towards the canteen. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I¡¯m finally full.¡± After eating three portions of rice, Li Chengqian¡¯s extreme hunger was relieved. After his intelligence increased, there were also side effects. If he used his brain for a long time, the energy consumed would increase, just like the CPU of a computer. However, this side effect was nothing compared to the benefits of the increase in intelligence. Moreover, Li Chengqian knew that in the All-Class Master game, some Classes could increase strength. When his strength increased to a certain extent, the energy stored in his body would increase, and the energy consumption brought about by the increase in intelligence would be negligible. ¡°In the future, if I use my brain for a long time, I must prepare some high-calorie food.¡± Li Chengqian made a note to himself, then walked happily to the school library. He chose a book on assembly language and a book on basic computing operating system principles, and placed them on the table. The two books were thick, totaling more than 1,400 pages. ¡°With the Novice level Focus Skill, I can memorize a page in two seconds.¡± Li Chengqian estimated that he couldn¡¯t go faster than the speed of 2 seconds per page. With the help of the skill, there was no bottleneck in his brain, however it took time for him to focus his eyes. Moreover, the range of vision he could see at a glance was limited. ¡°There are still 50 minutes to use the Focus Skill. Based on 2 seconds per page, I should be able to read about 1,500 pages.¡± Li Chengqian smiled confidently and opened the book on basic computing and operating system principles. Master level Focus Skill, activate! Instantly, Li Chengqian felt that his mind was incomparably clear and at ease. His eyes were like a scanner, instantly analyzing all the information he saw. Will-O-Wisps flashed continuously in his mind. What used to be extremely difficult knowledge to Li Chengqian had now become as simple as one plus one. It was a piece of cake! With a single glance, he had memorized all the contents of the first page of the book. Furthermore, he had mastered it and could even draw inferences from it. Even the person who wrote this book might not have as deep an understanding of the knowledge in the book as Li Chengqian. Whoosh! Whoosh! The pages were flipped at an extremely fast speed, making a rhythmic sound. Twenty minutes later, Li Chenggan had finished flipping through the book on basic computing and operating system principles. He had memorized and mastered everything. ¡°The foundation of a computer is a semiconductor, a triode! A PN knot!¡± ¡°CPU, GPU, memory. The most basic units are all PN knots.¡± ¡°Computer hardware consists of CPU, motherboard, memory, hard drive, GPU, and other peripherals.¡± ¡°The operating system actually provides users with a simple and universal software to operate the computer hardware.¡± ¡°The structure of the operating system is divided into three levels¡ªthe core that directly controls the hardware, the interface API above the core, and the user application program¡­¡± In fact, in his previous life, Li Chengqian had also studied programming for a period of time. It was also a book on basic computing and operating system principles. In his previous life, he had read it for a month but could not remember anything. And now, in just twenty minutes, he had completely understood the essence of computers. Hardware, and operating system. In his previous life, he had always wanted to understand a problem: how the operating system operated the hardware to perform computing, and how computing was performed! He had read the information in his previous life, but he couldn¡¯t understand it. He understood it now. ¡°Next is the assembly language!¡± Li Chengqian picked up the book on assembly language and began to flip through it. Assembly languages were hardware-oriented languages. They are usually used to program the core of operating systems or hardware drivers. It was high level stuff. In his previous life, when Li Chengqian was job hunting, he learned that people who were proficient in assembly languages command an annual salary of at least a million yuan. Li Chengqian studied for half a year, but he gave up because it was too difficult. Assembly languages were machine-oriented languages. It was too different from ordinary people¡¯s logical thoughts. It was difficult to understand. Whoosh! Whoosh! The speed at which he flipped through the book was no different from before. To the current Li Chengqian, assembly language, with the enhancement of the Master level Focus Skill, was as easy as addition and subtraction within ten. A large amount of knowledge was memorized, understood, and then integrated, becoming knowledge that he could use at will. Coincidentally, Li Chengqian had finished flipping through the book on assembly languages within the duration of Skill Focus. A translucent notification appeared in front of him again. [You have read for 50 minutes. You have received 50 Experience Bars. 53 Experience Bars remaining.] ¡°Unfortunately, the time for using Focus Skill is still too short.¡± ¡°The learning of the C programming language can only be done tomorrow.¡± Putting down the book, Li Chengqian¡¯s face was filled with regret. ¡­ When Li Chengqian returned to the classroom, Jian Qingli was also back. Li Chengqian had just sat down when Jian Qingli pushed him. ¡°Li Chengqian, we need to have a good talk.¡± Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, somewhat curious, ¡°About what?¡± Jian Qingli was still very angry when she left after school ended. Now, her attitude had become so good. ¡°I have my freedom. Don¡¯t interfere in my matters!¡± Li Chengqian was her classmate, neighbor, and good friend. She didn¡¯t want Bi Jialiang¡¯s matter to affect their relationship. ¡°We¡¯re good friends. I don¡¯t want Bi Jialiang to affect our relationship,¡± Jian Qingliu said seriously. Li Chengqian frowned. ¡°Is Bi Jialiang really that good? Actually, apart from him, anyone would do.¡± Jian Qingli shook her head and did not directly answer Li Chengqian¡¯s question. She said with a faint smile, ¡°I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so prejudiced against Bi Jialiang.¡± ¡°In fact, Bi Jialiang is really outstanding! He¡¯s very smart and easy to get along with.¡± ¡°In terms of studies, his results are very good. It won¡¯t be a problem for him to get into a key university.¡± ¡°In addition to studying, he¡¯s also very good at programming.¡± ¡°Doyou know about the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± ¡°I know!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. Of course he knew about this competition. Previously, he chose to self-study computer and programming courses because he also wanted to participate in this competition. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. She didn¡¯t think that Li Chengqian would actually know about this competition. However, in an instant, she suppressed the surprise in her heart and continued, ¡°This competition is the most authoritative youth informatics programming competition in the country.¡± ¡°In the competition, as long as you get into the top 50, you will have direct admission to the Divine Dragon University without the college entrance examination!¡± Divine Dragon University was the best school in the country. Every year, they recruited top students from various provinces. Those who could enter Divine Dragon University were equivalent to scholars in ancient times. ¡°Our school only has two competition slots.¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang has already won a spot in one team. Moreover, he has chosen me to participate in the competition as his teammate!¡± Jian Qingliu¡¯s beautiful face was beaming when she said this. ¡°In the afternoon, Bi Jialiang and I went to look for the teacher to sign up. At that time, the teacher said that with his standard, it¡¯s possible for him to get into the top 50!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, Bi Jialiang is really kind to me. Please don¡¯t target him,¡± Jian Qingli said sincerely. There was even a pleading look in her eyes. ¡°Jian Qingli, actually, I also want to sign up for the youth informatics programming competition. How about you form a team with me?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was also very sincere. For Jian Qingling to be able to have a good chat with him meant that she really treated him as a friend. Jian Qingli frowned and was a little upset. She has swallowed her pride to try and salvage her relationship with Li Chengqian, but he didn¡¯t appreciate it at all. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m serious.¡± ¡°Stop fooling around!¡± Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t even learn his school work, so how could he possibly know how to program? The youth informatics programming competition was the most authoritative programming competition in the Divine Dragon Empire. Tianyi High School only had two teams. The school wouldn¡¯t have agreed to sign up if they didn¡¯t meet a certain standard. ¡°I¡¯m serious too.¡± Li Chengqian was especially solemn, and his tone was especially serious. Jian Qingli shook her head in disappointment and her voice became cold. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be unreasonable¡­ Forget it, since you want it, then so be it! But please don¡¯t interfere with my private life in the future.¡± She tried her best to salvage their relationship, but Li Chengqian didn¡¯t appreciate it at all. Since that was the case, there was no need to salvage the situation. If she really had to make a choice, she would choose the more outstanding candidate¡­ Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Today¡¯s evening self-study subject was mathematics. The first lesson was supposed to end in 50 minutes, but it dragged on to 60 minutes. In the past, because of his weak foundation, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t understand anything at all in class. Although Li Chengqian tried his best to learn this lesson, his foundation in senior high mathematics was too weak, so he couldn¡¯t understand at all. But for the sake of the experience value points, Li Chengqian could only listen attentively. Throughout the entire class, Li Chengqian appeared especially irritable. He didn¡¯t understand but had to make himself listen. The more he listened, the sleepier he became. The constant sleepiness almost made him doze off. Jian Qingli also saw Li Chengqian behavior. On the surface, she didn¡¯t express anything, but in her heart, she was laughing. ¡°Li Chengqian, your foundation is too weak. Even if you force yourself now, you won¡¯t be able to learn.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, Li Chengqian came to his senses too late. If he had studied harder in his second year of high school, he might have been able to get into university this time.¡± ¡°Furthermore, even if Li Chengqian came to his senses now, whether or not he can persevere is another matter.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, we are ultimately not the same type of person.¡± Jian Qingli shook her head, feeling even more sure that she had made the right choice She and Bi Jialiang would definitely be able to pass this year¡¯s university entrance examination and get into a top university. In fact, because Bi Jialiang had brought her to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, she stood some chance of gaining direct admission to Divine Dragon University. As for Li Chengqian, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to get in this year. Even if he were to repeat a year, he still might not be able to pass. Even if he did, he would only be admitted to an ordinary university. It was at least a level lower than the school she went to. The teacher walked out of the classroom after the class ended, Li Chengqian let out a long sigh and finally felt a little more relaxed. Then, a translucent notification flashed before his eyes. [You have listened to the class for 60 minutes. You have received 600 Experience Bars. You have 653 Experience Bars remaining.] When Li Chengqian saw the number 653, he couldn¡¯t help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile. This was because 653 experience value points was sufficient for him to upgrade the level of his Student profession from level 5 to level 7. Based on his experience playing the Master of All Professions game in his previous life, when a Student profession reached level 7, one could obtain the fourth profession skill, Senior High School Knowledge! ¡°As long as I raise the proficiency of my Senior High School knowledge to Master level, I can score full marks in the university entrance examination.¡± Li Chengqian was super excited. This was because his fate had really changed. ¡°Open my personal interface!¡± He chanted excitedly in his heart. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 15 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 5 (0/80) Skill: 1. Focus (Master) 2. Elementary School Knowledge (Master) 3. Middle School Knowledge (Master) Experience Pool: 643 ¡°Upgrade!¡± Without hesitation, Li Chengqian used his thoughts to press the upgrade button behind the level. [80 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 6 (0/130), 573 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 16 points] Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stop. He pressed the upgrade button again. [130 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 7 (0/210). 443 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool] [Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 17 points.] [You have obtained Skill: Senior High School Knowledge (Novice 3/7).] [Senior High School Knowledge: Contains all the knowledge in all Senior High School courses.] The moment the Senior High School Knowledge skill appeared, the names of all the subjects in Senior High School and the general contents that he had to learn in Senior High School appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s memory. As for the more specific contents, other than the year three textbooks that he had already memorized, he couldn¡¯t remember anything else. Li Chengqian felt that if he didn¡¯t memorize the year three textbooks, the proficiency of his Senior High School Knowledge skill would either be 0 or 1! ¡°Upgrade!¡± [4 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Competent 0/70). 439 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [70 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Proficient 0/140). 369 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [140 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Expert 0/350). 229 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t manage to upgrade my Senior High School Knowledge skill to Master level.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the remaining experience value points. He had no choice but to stop. At this moment, a huge amount of information began to fuse into his memory. Senior High School Knowledge skill contained too much knowledge. It was at least 50 times more than Junior High School Knowledge skill. In an instant, the fusion of such a huge amount of knowledge created a huge pressure on Li Chengqian¡¯s brain. Under the huge torrent of information, his body¡¯s instinctive emergency response was activated. Li Chengqian fainted. The way Li Chengqian was prone on the table, it was no different from sleeping. One minute¡­ five minutes¡­ Mathematics teacher Tian Wenming walked up to the podium again. His eyes swept across the classroom and found Li Chengqian sleeping on the table. His brow furrowed slightly, then they relaxed again. ¡°Forget it. Li Chengqian¡¯s grades are very bad. He can¡¯t get in anyway.¡± ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t affect the other students, I can¡¯t be bothered with him.¡± Tian Wenming had tried to save Li Chengqian before. But he failed. He had lost all hope in Li Chengqian¡¯s learning ability. Now, as long as Li Chengqian didn¡¯t affect his class or the other students¡¯ studies, he couldn¡¯t be bothered. He was hopeless anyway. Saying too much would affect his mood. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian prone on the table sleeping. She shook her head in extreme disappointment. ¡°I naively thought that Li Chengqian had really changed his ways, and had really wanted to study hard and get into university.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to give up and reveal his true colors after only persevering for just one class.¡± ¡°If your grades are not good because you¡¯re not smart enough, that¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°But to not work hard despite knowing that your grades are bad.¡± Jian Qingli shook her head. ¡°Think a lot and do a little. People like that only daydream. They¡¯ll never succeed.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is precisely such a person. He¡¯s only dreaming if he wants to get into a university.¡± She recalled that Li Chengqian had previously told her that he was also going to participate in the Youth Informatics Programming Competition. Previously, she was still wondering if Li Chengqian really had some programming knowledge. Now, seeing Li Chengqian sleeping soundly, she felt that she was really imagining things. She had also read books on programming. They were obscure and difficult to understand, and much harder than the textbooks. Li Chengqian had just listened to one math lecture, but because he didn¡¯t understand, he gave up on studying and began to sleep. If he had read a more difficult book on programming, he might just have fallen asleep at the very first page. Besides Jian Qingli, Liu Daqiang was also paying attention to Li Chengqian. During the first period, Liu Daqiang noticed that Li Chengqian was listening hard, and he was still a little nervous. Seeing that Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t last beyond the second period and had fallen asleep, Liu Daqiang had a disdainful smirk in his eyes. ¡°Trash will always be trash.¡± ¡°He even shamelessly asked us to watch his exam results, it turned out that it was all talk and no action.¡± Time passed quickly. It was only three minutes before the evening self-study ended. Expert level Senior High School Knowledge had already been completely integrated into Li Chengqian¡¯s memory. When Li Chengqian woke up, his head was heavy and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Li Chengqian already knew why he had fainted. It was because he had absorbed too much knowledge at one go. ¡°In the future, when upgrading my skill proficiency, I have to adapt to one level before raising it to the next level.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After catching his breath, Li Chengqian began to recall the Senior High School Knowledge that he had just integrated into his memory. The Expert level of Senior High School Knowledge enabled Li Chengqian to know all the senior high school courses like the back of his hand. Li Chengqian had grasped all the knowledge points of every course. Li Chengqian majored in Science, but after achieving Master level of Senior High School Knowledge skill, he also remembered everything related to the Humanities. He even completely grasped liberal education subjects such as fine arts, music, calligraphy, sports, and technical education. All the contents that needed to be memorized over the three years of senior high school seemed to have taken root in Li Chengian¡¯s memory. Li Chengqian was confident that he could easily answer any senior high school questions. Through this Senior High School Knowledge skill, Li Chengqian finally understood the difference between the expert and master level. At the Expert level he had memorized all the content and knowledge points . He could answer any question as long as there were similar ones in the textbooks. As for the Master level, besides the Expert level abilities, the most important thing was the ability to truly digest and internalize the knowledge. At the Master level, regardless of whether there were similar questions in the textbooks, he could answer a question as long as the contents was not beyond the scope of the course. In fact, even if it was a question that was beyond the scope of the course, Li Chengqian could still quickly answer it if he could make inferences based on existing knowledge. Li Chengqian only took a few seconds to sort out this harvest of knowledge. Then, out of habit, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Only then did he realize that there were only three minutes left until the end of the evening self-study session. ¡°What a huge loss¡­ I¡¯ve wasted a class.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart ached. 40 minutes. If he had listened attentively to the class, he could have obtained 400 experience value points. With 400 experience value points, he could have upgraded his Student profession by at least one level. ¡°I can¡¯t waste time. I want to listen to the class properly. I want the experience value points.¡± After Li Chengqian secretly said this, he looked at the podium with steely determination. At this moment, mathematics cum technology teacher Tian Wenming was explaining an Olympiad question. The entire blackboard was filled with the solution to this question. Teacher Tian Wenming was giving his best on the podium, trying to explain the solution to his students in the simplest way possible. However, other than a few good students, the others were all not following. Li Chenggqin¡¯s gaze fell on the question. Just by reading the question once, five different solutions came naturally to his mind. In his mind, each solution had detailed steps. The answer appeared in his mind after thinking for a split second. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes turned to the bottom of the blackboard. The final answer was there. It was the same as what he had obtained through mental arithmetic. Li Chengqian¡¯s face was beaming. Then, Li Chengqian looked at Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s step-by-step solution. Li Chengqian frowned because he realized that the solution that Teacher Tian Wenming used was the most complicated of the five methods he knew. It was the trickiest method that was most prone to errors. He shook his head and whispered to himself, ¡°Although the solution is based on common knowledge points and is not beyond the syllabus, the steps are too complicated and the thought process is too convoluted. It¡¯s really too difficult. How can ordinary people understand it?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s soft words fell into Jian Qingli¡¯s ears. Her originally distressed face twitched, and a sneer appeared on her face. She had been listening attentively to the solution and was still a little confused. There were many aspects of the solution that she couldn¡¯t grasp. Li Chengqian had been sleeping soundly since class started. How could he possibly have understood the solution to the question by just taking a glance after waking up? How was this possible! ¡°Without the teacher¡¯s explanation, even if the standard solution was placed in front of you, you wouldn¡¯t understand it.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s grades have always been bad, yet he dared think he could understand the solution himself¡­¡± Jian Qingli shook her head lightly. After despising him in her heart, she shifted her focus back to the questions on the blackboard. Through this question, Li Chengqian got an intuitive sense of the amount of knowledge he had currently grasped. He estimated that even if he were to take the university entrance examination now, he would score at least 730 marks. He wouldn¡¯t go so far as to think he would score full marks because there were more subjective topics like essay writing. ¡°¡­Alright, that¡¯s all for this class!¡± After the bell rang, Teacher Tian Wenming ended the class. The quiet classroom started bustling instantly. ¡°Students, quieten down. There¡¯s something else I want to announce¡­¡± Teacher Tian Wenming, his big belly bulging out, said with a straight face. His bright eyes swept across the classroom. He had a very special ability to be serious and expressionless no matter what he was talking about. This was especially so when he was cracking a joke. When others are bent over laughing, he would still keep his poker face. No matter how high a threshold someone had for jokes, he could make him laugh his head off. ¡°This year¡¯s Junior Informatics Programming Competition has begun. Students who are especially good at programming come to me to sign up for it.¡± Other than being a math teacher for Grade 12 Class 5, he was also a technical teacher, although he had never taught technical classes¡­ ¡°You can come to me now, or tomorrow.¡± ¡°The top 50 teams of this competition, within the national competition zone, will be granted direct admission to Divine Dragon University¡­¡± When he said this, many students exclaimed in awe. ¡°There¡¯s actually such a route for admission to Divine Dragon University.¡± This was the first time many students had heard of this competition. ¡°If I had known about this competition, I would have spent all the time I used on playing games to learn programming.¡± ¡°Teacher, I want to participate in the competition! With my intelligence, I think I can learn programming now.¡± Amidst the commotion, Teacher Tian Wenming continued calmly, ¡°Anyone can sign up.¡± ¡°But our school has a limited number of slots.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why we will organize selection tests for students who sign up.¡± ¡°The tests are very difficult. The main content is programming in C language.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re just an amateur, or if you are planning to learn at the last minute, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± Instantly, many students who were eager to try went silent. This was because while they knew what programming was about, none of them had ever learned proper programming. After Tian Wenming finished speaking, his gaze swept across everyone again. He asked, ¡°Does anyone want to sign up?¡± ¡°Teacher, I want to sign up.¡± Chen Chunan raised his hand. He was the person who had just said that he was smart and could learn programming in time for the competition. ¡°Chen Chunan, answer my question first. What is a pointer?¡± Tian Wenming asked with a straight face. ¡°What on earth¡­¡± Chen Chunan was stunned. How would he know this? ¡°Sit down. You¡¯ve been eliminated,¡± Tian Wenming said seriously. ¡°Teacher Tian, didn¡¯t you say that the selection tests are tomorrow?¡± Chen Chunan said indignantly. ¡°Yes, but you have to pass my selection first,¡± Tian Wenming said seriously. ¡°Damn!¡± Chen Chunan was mad and said aggrievedly, ¡°Teacher, you didn¡¯t say so earlier.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m saying it now!¡± Tian Wenming was unmoved and replied seriously. ¡°Haha!¡± The students in the classroom were all amused by Tian Wenming¡¯s serious reply. They were all tickled. ¡°Does anyone else want to sign up?¡± Tian Wenming looked especially innocent, as if he didn¡¯t know what his students were laughing about. With Chen Chunan¡¯s encounter earlier, who else would raise their hands? The entire classroom was silent. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t move at all. He had learned computing basics, operating system principles, and assembly language. As for C language, he hadn¡¯t started learning it yet. Even if he stood up now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to pass Teacher Tian¡¯s test. Jian Qingli had been observing Li Chengqian. Seeing that Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t stood up, she shook her head again. ¡°He had bragged earlier that he wanted to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Now, he can¡¯t even sign up.¡± ¡°Haha¡­ Ridiculous.¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios A line of notification flashed on the translucent panel in front of Li Chengqian. [You have listened to the class for 6 minutes. You have received 60 experience value points. You have 289 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Learning from his experience, skill proficiency upgrading shouldn¡¯t be done during lesson time.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart ached so badly. He quickly walked out after packing up. In the past, Li Chengqian would usually wait for Jian Qingli to go home together. But Jian Qingli had already left. If this had happened in his previous life, Li Chengqian would definitely be very upset, but right now he was not affected at all. ¡°Li Chengqian, over here.¡± Just as he stepped out of the school gates, a clear and pleasant voice rang out. The person who called out to Li Chengqian was Ding Ling. She was also Li Chengqian¡¯s neighbor. She was wearing a loose-fitting sweater that covered her petite body, and a pair of black-framed glasses that covered half her face. A plain hat covered her hair and forehead. Ding Ling looked plain and ordinary. Hearing Ding Ling¡¯s voice, Li Chengqian paused, and the smile on his face suddenly became bright. In his previous life, when he failed the university entrance examination and his parents met with a traffic accident, Ding Ling was the only classmate who came to pay respects to his parents. When he was handling his parents¡¯ funeral, Ding Ling stood by him and never deserted him. After the university entrance examination, Ding Ling was admitted to the Divine Dragon Conservatory of Music. During the holidays, she always came to hang out with Li Chengqian, encouraging him not to give up. Ding Ling then went on to do very well in life. But even so, she would visit and chat with Li Chengqian whenever she could find time to do so. Li Chengqian naturally knew Ding Ling¡¯s intentions. However, because he had been in such a sorry state in his previous life while Ding Ling was doing so well, he felt unworthy of her. As such, he was deliberately hurtful toward her. Ding Ling then left with a broken heart. ¡°Ding Ling.¡± Li Chengqian suppressed his overwhelming emotions and walked over to Ding Ling. ¡°Eh, why isn¡¯t Jian Qingli with you?¡± At the mention of Jian Qingli, a hint of gloom flashed in Ding Ling¡¯s eyes. But in front of Li Chengqian, she could only suppress the bitterness in her heart and act as if everything is alright. Usually, the three of them would go home together. Rain or shine, Li Chengqian would wait for Jian Qingli. ¡°Where is she?¡± Li Chengqian pointed to the opposite side. Jian Qingli was smiling and walking side by side with Bi Jialiang. Bi Jialiang also noticed that Li Chengqian was looking over. He flashed Li Chengqian a victorious smile and deliberately walked closer to Jian Qingli, parading himself like a triumphant peacock. ¡°She seems to be in a relationship with Bi Jialiang.¡± Li Chengqian smiled casually and continued, ¡°In the future, the two of us will go home together.¡± Ding Ling had wanted to say something, but when she heard Li Chengqian say ¡°the two of us will go home together¡±, a shy expression appeared on her face, and her heart started beating wildly. ¡°Yes.¡± A mosquito-like voice came out of her mouth. Li Chengqian looked at Ding Ling¡¯s shy appearance and cursed himself for being so blind in his previous life. Ding Ling appeared plain now because she had deliberately dressed this way to cover herself up. After graduating from university, she took off her black-framed glasses and exchanged her loose-fitting sweater for a white dress. With some light makeup, she looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting. She was beautiful and elegant. ¡°Let¡¯s chat while we walk.¡± Li Chengqian and Ding Ling walked side by side. ¡°I¡¯m planning to sign up for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. Our form teacher also talked about it in class today, but only Bi Jialiang signed up.¡± Ding Ling nodded. Her face was still flushed. When she said Bi Jialiang¡¯s name, she even secretly glanced at Li Chengqian, worried that he might be irritated. ¡°The registration has to be done in a team. Each team can have a maximum of three members.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t pay attention to this detail. He continued to speak. ¡°One is in charge of mathematical modeling, one is in charge of programming, and the other is in charge of liaison.¡± ¡°For now, there is only me in my team. Would you join me on my team?¡± Ding Ling nodded without hesitation. ¡°Sure!¡± ¡°Alright, then when I sign up tomorrow, I¡¯ll fill in your name as well.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s smile became wider. In his previous life, Divine Dragon University was Ding Ling¡¯s first choice. However, her results weren¡¯t good enough, as such she could enroll in Divine Dragon Music University. Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t change Ding Ling¡¯s academic performance, but he could send Ding Ling to Divine Dragon University, her dream school, via the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Along the way, Ding Ling chattered about the interesting things that happened in class. Li Chengqian had a gentle smile on his face as he kept nodding and saying a few words occasionally. Soon, the two of them arrived downstairs. ¡°Li Chengqian, I realized that you¡¯ve changed!¡± In fact, Ding Ling had always been worried that Li Chengqian would be angry, upset, and sad because Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang were together, and that he was faking the smile on his face. Along the way, she carefully observed Li Chengqian¡¯s reaction. She realized that he was very calm, very confident, and genuinely happy. He didn¡¯t look like he was faking it at all. Instantly, she felt relieved. ¡°You¡¯ve become more confident! Your eyes have become especially lively.¡± ¡°Also, I feel that you have suddenly become very mature, like an uncle who has experienced endless vicissitudes,¡± Ding Ling said half-jokingly. Li Chengqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve matured, and I¡¯m in better spirits now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I have now realized that you are the best. In the past, I was blind to this. Now that I have cleared my mind, I will naturally cherish what I have.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s words were like a bolt of lightning, making Ding Ling¡¯s mind go blank. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, she came back to her senses. Her face instantly turned red, and even her neck instantly turned pink. Happiness, shyness, nervousness, and panic overwhelmed her at once, making her all flustered. She panicked and ran back home, and couldn¡¯t even recall exactly how she responded to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian smiled as he watched Ding Ling return home before walking back home. ¡­ ¡°Chengqian is back. Do you want bread or noodles?¡± Chen Li, who was preparing food for him in the kitchen, asked with concern. Li Chengqian got teary-eyed. ¡°Mom! Noodles please. I like the noodles you make the most.¡± Li Chengqian suppressed his voice, but he still choked and sounded nasal. In his previous life, he was young and ignorant. He took his parents¡¯ concern for him for granted and even found them annoying sometimes. After his parents were gone, he realized that only his parents would give him the type of unconditional love that he took for granted. ¡°My child, why are you crying?¡± Chen Li brought out the noodles. When she saw Li Chengqian¡¯s red eyes, she immediately panicked. ¡°I just miss you guys too much!¡± Seeing his mother¡¯s familiar face and the heartache on her face, Li Chengqian could no longer hold it in and went forward to hug her. ¡°Were you bullied in school? Tell us.¡± Chen Li comforted him gently. His father, Li Tianlan was originally sitting on the sofa with a stern expression. He had already received the teacher¡¯s notification of Li Chengqian¡¯s exam results. He was prepared to have a ¡°good talk¡± with Li Chengqian. Seeing how Li Chengqian was now, he immediately panicked. ¡°Chengqian, who bullied you? Tell Daddy, I will stand up for you.¡± Li Chengqian let go of Chen Li and rushed forward to hug Li Tianlan. ¡°Daddy, no one bullied me. I just missed you guys, really.¡± If he counted the time in his previous life, he had already been separated from his parents for decades. ¡°This time, I promise I won¡¯t disappoint you again. I¡¯ll definitely get into university.¡± ¡°I will definitely make the two of you proud.¡± Li Chengqian said earnestly. ¡°Alright, we don¡¯t care if you make us proud. We just hope that you can become a capable person, so that one day when we¡¯re no longer around, you can support yourself and live a peaceful and dignified life,¡± Chen Li said with a smile. ¡°Come, let¡¯s not talk about anything else. Let¡¯s eat the noodles first.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The next morning, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling came to school together. Surprisingly, Jian Qingli followed the two of them. However, the group dynamics had completely changed. In the past, Li Chengqian kept trying to start a conversation with Jian Qingli, but she was as proud as a peacock, always ignoring him. Now, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling walked shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing along the way. Jian Qingli couldn¡¯t couldn¡¯t get a word in. When they arrived at the school gate, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling agreed to sign up with Teacher Tian Wenming together at one in the afternoon. Ding Ling then reluctantly parted ways with Li Chengqian. Jian Qingli¡¯s displeasure was written all over her face. She felt terrible. In the past, when Li Chengqian was fawning over her, she didn¡¯t feel anything. Now that she saw Li Chengqian and Ding Ling being so intimate, chatting and laughing all the way, she felt miserable. It was as if her toy had been snatched away by someone else. ¡°I¡¯m just not used to it yet. Yes, I¡¯m just not used to it yet.¡± Jian Qingli made an excuse for herself. ¡°I have Bi Jialiang now! He¡¯s a better candidate. Let bygones be bygones.¡± ¡°Not only does Bi Jialiang have good grades, but he¡¯s also very good at programming. He¡¯s bringing me on his team to participate in the competition, so I might be able to skip the university entrance examination and gain admission to Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s grades, sense of humor, or family background, Bi Jialiang is better than Li Chengqian.¡± Jian Qingli kept comforting herself in her heart. Gradually, she didn¡¯t feel so bad anymore. The way she looked at Li Chengqian also became cold again. ¡°Li Chengqian has never fancied Ding Ling. He has always fancied¡­¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of my relationship with Bi Jialiang that provoked Li Chengqian. That¡¯s why he is purposely showing me how close he is to Ding Ling.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s mood completely improved when she thought of this. Throughout the entire morning, Li Chengqian listened attentively during class. After class, he was focused on reading. Jian Qingli did not say a single word to Li Chengqian the whole time. When class ended at noon, two lines of notifications flashed on the translucent panel in front of Li Chengqian. [You have accumulated 200 minutes of listening time in class. You have received 2,000 experience value points. You have 2,289 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have accumulated 200 minutes of listening time in class. You have received 2,000 experience value points. You have 2,289 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Learning from the experience of the day before, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to upgrade his Senior High School Knowledge to Master level. After having his fill in the canteen, he immediately went to the school library. He had learned computing basics, operating system principles, and assembly language the day before. The main focus of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition was C language programming. In addition, when he signed up with Teacher Tian Wenming, he would be asking random questions about the C language. If he couldn¡¯t answer, he wouldn¡¯t even be allowed to sign up. A book on overview of C language, from novice to proficient, a book on the analysis of common C language functions, and one more on database case studies. These three books were specially chosen by Li Chengqian. As long as he studied all three books and memorized them, while he wouldn¡¯t be able to say for sure that he would emerge champion of the Competition, getting into the top 50 would definitely not be a problem. ¡°The three books add up to 1,478 pages. There is enough time.¡± Li Chengqian chose a quiet seat and sat down. Master level Focus skill, activate! Instantly, Li Chengqian felt extremely clear-headed and refreshed. He analyzed all the information he read immediately. All types of surreal lights kept flashing non-stop in his mind. The ability to speed read ten lines at a glance, a photographic memory, and the ability to internalize all the information acted together in Li Chengqian¡¯s body. Li Chengqian focused with great intensity as he flipped through the C language from Novice to Proficient book. Whoosh! Whoosh! The pages were flipped at breakneck pace, making a rhythmic sound. He only needed to take a glance at each page to memorize the contents. As he quickly flipped through the first book¡ª overview on C language, algorithms, data types, operators and expressions, functions, pointers, and other programming knowledge¡ª603 pages were digested by Li Chengqian in 20 minutes. Then, he internalized the knowledge into his own knowledge system. He could now answer the question that Teacher Tian Wenming asked on pointer the night before . ¡°The pointer refers to the memory address. It describes the location of the data in the memory and indicates the relative distance value of an entity occupying the storage space at the beginning of this section of space.¡± Analysis of common C language functions, 507 pages, took him 17 minutes! The book on database case studies was the thinnest. It was 368 pages and was read in 13 minutes. [You have accumulated 50 minutes of reading time. You have received 50 experience value points. You have 2,379 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian did not immediately stand up after reading all three books. He began to recall the information on computer basics, principles of operating systems, assembly languages, C language, and database knowledge. He summarized and classified the information in his mind to form a complete knowledge system. Three minutes later, Li Chengqian stood up with a confident smile on his face. ¡°In terms of theoretical knowledge, even those who specialize in programming might not be as good as me.¡± Li Chengqian was confident that even Teacher Tian Wenming was not as strong as him in terms of theoretical foundation. His only shortcoming now was his actual hands-on experience. ¡°Let¡¯s sign up for the exam first and get the slot to participate in the competition.¡± Li Chengqian was not worried at all about lacking hands-on experience. The previous year competition questions were all available online. As long as he read and practiced more, he would improve very quickly. ¡­ The teachers¡¯ room was especially crowded today because of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Many students who knew programming felt that this was a rare opportunity. They signed up with the mentality that even if they didn¡¯t win, the experience would be beneficial. When Li Chengqian got there, there were still 11 people queuing up in front of him to register. Everyone was asked a question on C language before signing up. The person in front of Li Chengqian was Bi Jialiang. Jian Qingli was standing beside Bi Jialiang, chatting while queueing. Jian Qingli was surprised when she saw that Li Chengqian really came to sign up. When Li Chengqian said that he wanted to participate in the competition, she didn¡¯t believe him for a second. That was because she genuinely doubted that he had the ability. Could someone who didn¡¯t even manage his studies learn how to program well? ¡°Li Chengqian, you actually came to sign up? I thought you were just fooling around and you only said it out of spite.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was filled with astonishment. ¡°I said I will sign up, so naturally I have to come,¡± Li Chengqian replied. He looked around trying to spot Ding Ling. ¡°Qingli, signing up and being accepted are two separate matters. Don¡¯t be so surprised.¡± Bi Jialiang sneered and deliberately leaned closer to Jian Qingli and whispered into her ear. ¡°If Li Chengqian were capable, he would have signed up last night. Why did he have to wait until today to queue up here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing that he must have crammed last-minute and then come here to try his luck.¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s tone was very disdainful. While Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were whispering to each other, Ding Ling spotted Li Chengqian. She walked over with a smile on her face and stood with Li Chengqian. Jian Qingli¡¯s mood turned foul instantly. ¡°Li Chengqian, it¡¯s fine if you¡¯ve come to just try your luck. But it would be very embarrassing when you don¡¯t have an answer for the teacher¡¯s question later.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter to you, but Ding Ling is a girl. It¡¯s not good for her to be embarrassed together with you,¡± Jian Qingli couldn¡¯t help but say, as if she was thinking about Ding Ling¡¯s face. ¡°I believe in Li Chengqian!¡± Ding Ling smiled and didn¡¯t say much. Just like when Li Chengqian had told her to participate in the competition, she had no doubts. In any case, what she cared about was Li Chengqian and not the competition. If he lost, so be it. If he lost face, so be it. It was that simple. ¡°Jian Qingli, besides Ding Ling, there is one last vacancy on my team. Are you joining?¡± Li Chengqian looked intently at Jian Qingli. He had decided to invite her one last time, after which, his conscience would be clear. He was absolutely confident that he could emerge in the top 50 in the country. One spot meant one qualification to enter the Divine Dragon University. ¡°What a joke!¡± Jian Qingli shook her head with disdain. She would have to be stupid to abandon Bi Jialiang, who was good at programming, and team up with Li Chengqian. She even felt that Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t succeed in signing up. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jian Qingli was very hurtful! Ding Ling frowned and was very unhappy. Just as she was about to tell Jian Qingli off, Li Chengqian stopped her from doing so. ¡°Li Chengqian, the journey is as important as the outcome. No matter what the outcome is, the journey itself will enrich our lives.¡± Ding Ling was worried that Jian Qingli¡¯s words would hurt Li Chengqian, so she comforted him. Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. ¡°Ding Ling, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Do you trust me?¡± Ding Ling nodded without hesitation. ¡°I do!¡± ¡°Then just wait to go to Divine Dragon University.¡± Li Chenggan said with extreme confidence. ¡°Okay!¡± Ding Ling nodded again. Bi Jialiang, Jian Qingli, and Li Chengqian were not standing far away from each other, so they could naturally hear Li Chengqian¡¯s words. Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the two of them looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but curl their lips and smirked. Enroll in Divine Dragon University? To gain admission to the Divine Dragon University, one had to get into the top 50 in the competition. Even he might not be able to do it. Could Li Chengqian do it? He was simply daydreaming! While they had seen arrogant people before, this was the first time they had seen someone as arrogant as Li Chengqian. In just a few minutes, the queue moved forward quickly and Bi Jialiang was already standing in front of Teacher Tian Wenming. ¡°How many types of loops are there in C language ?¡± Teacher Tian Wenming glanced at Bi Jialiang and asked with a straight face. ¡°For loop, While loop, Do-while loop!¡± Bi Jialiang was extremely confident and answered the question clearly. ¡°Yes, go to the side and fill out the form. After school in the afternoon, go to the school information classroom and wait for the exam.¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang, your programming foundation is not bad. I know that. With your standard, if you work hard during this period of time and are lucky, it¡¯s not impossible for you to be in the top 50 in the country.¡± Tian Wenming looked up at Bi Jialiang with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Bi Jialiang¡¯s mastery of the C language was quite good. Although there was still a gap between him and a professional programmer, it was indeed rare for someone to reach Bi Jialiang¡¯s level in senior high school. ¡°Thank you, Teacher. I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± Bi Jialiang couldn¡¯t hide the smugness on his face when his teacher praised him in front of so many people. When Jian Qingli heard the teacher¡¯s praise, her face was radiant and beaming. Then, she deliberately turned her head and glanced at Li Chengqian. Although she didn¡¯t say a single word, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling understood what she meant. She was showing off, telling Li Chengqian and Ding Ling that she had betted on the right horse. ¡°Teacher Tian, I want to sign up!¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and brought Ding Ling to Teacher Tian Wenming. ¡°Li Chengqian? You also came to register?¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s expression was still serious, but his eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°En!¡± Li Chengqian nodded with a confident smile. ¡°Alright then, tell me the difference between the While loop and the Do-while loop.¡± Tian Wenming suppressed the surprise in his heart. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t do well in school, but this didn¡¯t mean that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know how to program. These are two separate matters and he shouldn¡¯t judge a book by its cover. Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were filling out the form. When they heard the question, Bi Jialiang smiled. Because this question was very difficult! It was harder than the question he had just answered. Even if he were to go up and answer, he could only guarantee that he would be able to answer a portion of the questions correctly. He couldn¡¯t guarantee that he would be able to answer all of it correctly. Most of the people who came to sign up frowned when they heard this question. ¡°Do you have to answer such a difficult question when signing up?¡± After hearing the whispers around her, Jian Qingli was full of smiles. It was as if she was watching a show as she looked at Li Chengqian. She was waiting to see Li Chengqian make a fool of himself. Although she didn¡¯t care much about the outcome, Ding Ling was also watching Li Chengqian nervously. It was mainly because what Jian Qingli said earlier on was too hurtful. If Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t answer the question, he would definitely be mocked and ridiculed later. This was something she didn¡¯t want to see. At this time, Li Chengqian spoke slowly. His logic was sound and his speech was clear. ¡°There are four differences. Firstly, the expression of the loop structure is different¡­ Secondly, the way the execution is judged is different¡­ Thirdly, the number of executions is different¡­ Fourthly, the order of execution of the end loop is different¡­¡± Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s reply, the smile on Ding Ling¡¯s face brightened. ¡°Ever since I¡¯ve known him, Li Chengqian has never lied to me. He has never broken his promise to me. This time¡­ it¡¯s the same. He really knows how to program!¡± When Bi Jialiang heard Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, his jaw dropped, his face was stunned. Li Chengqian¡¯s answer was the model answer. If he were asked the same question, he could only state two differences. ¡°How is that possible! Qingli, didn¡¯t you say that Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t know how to program?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s mouth was slightly agape. Her face was filled with shock, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Looking at Li Chengqian, who spoke confidently, she thought she was seeing things. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°In the past, he would tell me everything.¡± ¡°But he never told me about programming.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s something he just learned?¡± Jian Qingli found a reason that even she didn¡¯t believe. Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard what she said. He picked up a book titled C-language: from Novice to Proficient, and flipped to the chapter on loop structure. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s exactly the case!¡± Looking at the book¡¯s description of the difference between While loop and Do-while loop, he suddenly became excited, because Li Chengqian¡¯s answer was exactly how it was written in the book. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jian Qingli asked in confusion. ¡°Li Chengqian was lucky, he just happened to have memorized this part.¡± The emphasis of C language is on understanding and application. An expert who was truly proficient in the C language would answer any question in his own words. Only someone who had just learned the C language would memorize the textbook word for word and answer questions verbatim. Bi Jialiang had learned C language for three years and could answer most of the questions. However, he couldn¡¯t answer the question the way Li Chengqian did, which was to quote the textbook word for word. Thus, Bi Jialiang concluded that Li Chengqian was a beginner! ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Jian Qingli instantly felt relieved and relaxed her tense face. ¡°He¡¯s lucky now to manage to sign up, but the test in the afternoon is a comprehensive test. It¡¯s impossible for him to pass.¡± Bi Jialiang had also recovered his sunny self. When he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, beaming with confidence. Li Chengqian was able to memorize a portion of the book titled C-language: from Novice to Proficient, which was about 600-plus pages thick, but could he possibly memorize the entire book? That was impossible! ¡°Who is this person? He¡¯s quite amazing!¡± After the students who came to register heard Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, many people looked up to him. ¡°It¡¯s Li Chengqian from Grade 12 Class 5. Last time, he was last place in the Year 3 mock exam! His results weren¡¯t good, but I didn¡¯t expect his programming to be so good.¡± Liu Daqiang also stood in the crowd to watch the commotion. When he heard someone say that Li Chengqian was amazing, he felt especially uncomfortable in his heart, and then said with a face full of disdain. Instantly, the people around started looking at Li Chengqian in a different way, they have calmed down, and some even looked at him with disdain. In senior high school, a winner was someone whose grades were good. If one¡¯s grades weren¡¯t good, he would be a nobody. Even if one was good at programming, as long as one didn¡¯t win an award, no one would give care. ¡°You¡¯re not bad, kid! You¡¯re very organized and your answers are very comprehensive.¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°If only you had such talent in studying¡­ Forget it, go fill out the form and sign up. Remember to come for the exam in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Alright, Teacher.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, your programming skills are amazing! When did you learn it? Why didn¡¯t I know about it?¡± When filling out the form, Ding Ling asked the question, with her face full of admiration. Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were about to leave, but when they heard Ding Ling¡¯s question, they couldn¡¯t help but stop and prick up their ears to listen. ¡°I learned it recently.¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and gave a true, albeit rather vague, reply. ¡°As expected, our guess was right! He really learned it at the last minute.¡± After Bi Jialiang heard Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, he was even more certain of his guess. ¡°He crammed at the last minute.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian will be eliminated after the test!¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s mood became more and more relaxed. ¡°I¡¯ll see if he still has the cheek to talk to me after he gets eliminated.¡± Jian Qingli seemed to have thought of something interesting and smiled. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The afternoon school bell rang. Two lines of translucent notifications flashed before Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. [You have listened to the class for 150 minutes. You have received 1,500 experience value points. You have 3,829 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have read for 20 minutes. You have received 20 experience value points. You have 3,849 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian resolutely suppressed the urge to open his personal interface. When he was upgrading the proficiency level of his Senior High School Knowledge skill the day before, he fainted as he was overwhelmed by the gush of knowledge. He wasted a lesson as a result of that. Therefore, he was prepared to upgrade only after he got home at night. By that time, even if he really fainted, he would treat it as sleep and he won¡¯t waste his classroom hours. ¡°Compared to listening in class, the experience value points gained from reading seemed insignificant. I can¡¯t waste a minute of time in class.¡± Looking at the amount of experience value points gained from listening in class and reading, Li Chengqian sighed in his heart and once again firmly resolved to pay attention in class. After Li Chengqian finished sighing, he quickly ran towards the canteen. ¡°If this continues, I might be nicknamed Good-For-Nothing.¡± ¡°I have to quickly upgrade the level of my Student profession. After the Professions Shop has been activated, I¡¯ll immediately take up a profession that can increase my stamina.¡± After his Intelligence Stats increased, his food consumption had increased, and he was especially hungry. His stomach was rumbling now. At six in the evening, Li Chengqian walked into Tianyi High School¡¯s information classroom to take the exam. Teacher Tian Wenming stood on the podium with a stack of test papers in his hand and announced the rules. ¡°Everyone knows the ground rules of an exam, so I won¡¯t reiterate it.¡± ¡°There are surveillance cameras in this classroom. Don¡¯t take any chances.¡± ¡°The exam time is one hour.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so difficult.¡± The test paper was handed to an examinee. Someone exclaimed after flipping through it. They originally thought that the exam was only on the C language, but after the test papers were distributed, they realized that it was not the case at all. The hardware principles of computers, basic operations of computers, and even assembly languages were all covered in the test paper. Bi Jialiang also flipped through the exam paper immediately. It was very difficult! However, it was good that it was difficult. Only then could he widen the gap between him and the others! At the thought of this, Bi Jialiang was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled confidently. To him, the test paper was very difficult, but to the other students, this test paper was even more difficult. Originally, he wanted to see Li Chengqian¡¯s reaction after receiving the test paper. But Li Chengqian¡¯s position happened to be behind him, and there was another person in between. He turned his head back to look, and there was no way he couldn¡¯t see Li Chengqian¡¯s current expression. However, Bi Jialiang imagined that Li Chengqian must be having a hard time. In actual fact, Li Chengqian¡¯s face was calm as he slowly wrote his name on the test paper before looking at the contents. Reading the questions from beginning to end, all the answers to all the questions had already appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. He picked up a pen and started to answer the questions without thinking. Teacher Tian Wenming was originally standing on the podium to supervise the examination. When he saw that the others were still scratching their ears and frowning in deep thought, Li Chengqian had already started to answer the questions on the test paper with apparent ease. He couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. With his hands behind his back, he strolled over behind Li Chengqian and looked at his test paper. At this moment, he saw that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even read or think about the questions. He very quickly wrote down the answers to the multiple choice questions, at a speed of almost a question every second. It seemed like he was randomly choosing answers based on his intuition! Tian Wenming frowned and was about to say, ¡°You can¡¯t carve rotten wood.¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian had already moved on to the fill-in-the-blank section. He was still scribbling as fast as lightning. He filled in the blanks without having to think. Tian Wenming casually took a glance and was taken aback. The answers Li Chengqian filled in were actually correct! Tian Wenming looked at the ten fill-in-the-blank questions one by one. They were all correct! Li Chengqian moved on to the comprehensive questions right after. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even need to think as he quickly wrote down the answers. The step-by-step process, the answer, and even the format of the code were especially accurate and impeccable. Tian Wenming was stunned. The thought of cheating flashed through Tian Wenming¡¯s mind, but he instantly rejected it. This was because ever since the test paper was printed, it had never left his hands. It was impossible for it to be leaked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this kid to be so talented at programming despite doing so badly in his studies!¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s impression of Li Chengqian instantly changed. However, because Li Chengqian answered the questions so easily and quickly, Tian Wenming muttered to himself doubtfully, ¡°Could it be that the questions I set this time were too simple?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about the difficulty of the questions, it¡¯s about this kid! This kid is very good at computers.¡± Tian Wenming looked around and finally relaxed when he saw the other students frowning and thinking hard. Li Chengqian finished answering all the questions and checked the test paper. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he said, ¡°I should be able to get full marks!¡± He looked up at the clock and saw that there were still forty minutes until the end of the exam. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to waste the remaining 40 minutes. That was 40 experience value points. Even going out to chat with Ding Ling was a better option than sitting here. Therefore, Li Chengqian raised his hand and looked at Teacher Tian Wenming. ¡°Teacher, can we hand in the paper in advance?¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Tian Wenming picked up Li Chengqian¡¯s paper and brought it to the podium. He flipped through it with a serious expression. Multiple choice questions, all correct! Fill-in-the-blank questions, all correct! Comprehensive questions, all correct! Tian Wenming kept a straight face, but he was a little shocked in his heart. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s theoretical knowledge is too solid. It¡¯s even more solid than Bi Jialiang!¡± When Li Chengqian handed in his paper, most people felt that it was because he didn¡¯t know how to do questions and thus chose not to waste time by handing it in. Bi Jialiang raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian who was walking out. There was contempt in his eyes and a sneer on his face. ¡°And here I am wondering how good he was. Seems like he wasn¡¯t any good!¡± At the entrance of the computer classroom, many students were reading and waiting for the exam to end. Ding Ling and Jian Qingli were among them. The two of them were chatting, and they looked like especially good friends. Seeing Li Chengqian stride out, Ding Ling asked with concern, ¡°Why are you so fast? It¡¯s only been 20 minutes and you¡¯re already out?¡± ¡°The test paper was relatively easy, and I was especially lucky. They¡¯re all questions I¡¯ve seen in books. I barely need to think to solve them all.¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. Jian Qingli pursed her lips as she stood at the side, not believing a single word Li Chengqian said. Easy? Impossible! Bi Jialiang had studied Tian Wenming¡¯s question setting method. Ever since Tian Wenming took over the management of this competition, every year¡¯s exam questions had been randomly selected from past year questions of Junior Informatics Programming Competition. The Junior Informatics Programming Competition was notoriously difficult! How could it be easy! Li Chengqian was obviously bragging! Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After returning home from evening self-study, Li Chengqian hurriedly opened his personal interface. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 17 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 7 (0/210) Skill: 1. Focus (Master) 2. Elementary School Knowledge (Master) 3. Junior High School Knowledge (Master) 4. Senior High School Knowledge (Expert 0/350) Experience Pool: 5,079 The 120 minutes of the three evening self-study sessions earned him 1,200 experience value points. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t waste the 30 minutes of break between classes. He used the time to read, so as to gain 30 experience value points. ¡°Upgrade!¡± After thinking about it, Li Chengqian decided to start from the leveling up of the Student profession. He would upgrade the Senior High School Knowledge skill later. He was afraid that he would faint again after upgrading his Senior High School knowledge. [210 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 8 (0/340), 4,869 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 18 points.] Without the slightest pause, Li Chengqian clicked upgrade again. [340 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 9 (0/550), 4,319 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 19 points.] [You have obtained Skill: Rational Thinking (Novice 0/9).] [Rational Thinking: In rational thinking, you will automatically abandon unnecessary emotions and isolate yourself from the outside world. Your thinking speed will increase, and your logical reasoning ability will increase greatly. Skill duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 24 hours.] ¡°Rational Thinking skill have also appeared!¡± The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. Rational thinking in reality, whether it was used for scientific research or for learning, was an awesome skill. One could even use it to solve cases. After Li Chengqian glanced at the Rational Thinking skill, he began clicking to upgrade. ¡°Upgrade!¡± [550 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 9 (can be upgraded), 3,796 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Level 9 was the highest level of the Student profession. After reaching level 9, the basic profession needed to be upgraded in order to continue advancing and leveling up. When level 9 of the basic profession was achieved, this was also a critical point because at this level, one could activate the Professions Shop of the Master of All Professions game. [Your Student profession has been upgraded to level 9. You have activated the Professions Shop.] According to his experience in his previous life, there were three types of goods in the current Profession Shop that had been activated. The first type was Professions. Every additional Profession Slot would allow him to take on an additional profession. Now that Li Chengqian had taken on a Student profession, if he wanted to own two professions at the same time, he would need to buy a Profession slot in the Profession Shop. The second type was the Profession Certificate. After purchasing the Profession Certificate, the Master of All Professions game would give a few hints on the methods for certain professions. For example, if one wanted to take on a Farmer profession, they needed a piece of arable land, a hoe, and a Farmer¡¯s Profession Certificate. The third type of goods was Skills. Apart from the basic profession, whether it was to upgrade a profession or to change a profession, one had to purchase the Skills themselves. ¡°Open the Profession Shop!¡± Li Chengqian impatiently opened the Profession Shop and switched to the Profession purchase interface. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s exactly the same as in the game in my previous life. The price of one Profession Slot is 10,000 experience value points.¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t surprised, but he was still very envious. After trying it out, he realized that the Profession Shop was exactly the same as in his previous life. The Profession Certificate interface could only be opened after obtaining a Profession Slot. The Skills interface could only be opened for advancing or changing a profession. ¡°Experience value points, only with experience value points can you have everything!¡± Li Chengqian reluctantly collected his thoughts and looked at his personal interface. Now that the level of the Student profession could no longer be upgraded, he naturally had to upgrade the level of all his skills. According to his experience in his previous life, in order to advance a Student profession, all the subordinate skills had to be perfected. ¡°Let¡¯s start with the Rational Thinking skill first.¡± Rational Thinking skill did not involve the acquisition of knowledge, so the possibility of him fainting after upgrading was very slim. [9 experience value points consumed, Rational Thinking skill proficiency upgraded to (Competent 0/90), 3,787 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [90 experience value points consumed, Rational Thinking skill proficiency upgraded to (Proficient 0/180), 3,697 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [180 experience value points consumed, Rational Thinking skill proficiency upgraded to (Expert 0/450), 3,517 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [450 experience value points consumed, Rational Thinking skill proficiency upgraded to (Master), 3,067 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool] When the Rational Thinking skill reached Master level, the description of the skill changed drastically. [Rational Thinking (Master): In Rational Thinking mode, you will automatically abandon unnecessary emotions and isolate yourself from the outside world. Your thinking speed will increase by a hundred times, your logical reasoning and analytical ability will increase by a hundred times. You can use the skill for a total of 60 minutes. Cooldown time is 24 hours.] Compared to the Novice level of rational thinking, the Master level was many times more powerful. ¡°This time, there¡¯s only Senior High School Knowledge skill left.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s focus turned to the only skill that had not reached Master level yet: Senior High School Knowledge. After Li Chengqian adjusted his body to the most comfortable position, he willed, ¡°Upgrade!¡± [350 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill proficiency upgraded to (Master), 2,717 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Actually, when his Senior High School Knowledge skill was upgraded to Master level, all the knowledge that he should have memorized had already entered Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Achieving the Master level was the icing on the cake, it allowed him to truly internalize and exploit the knowledge . The volume of information wasn¡¯t that huge. Therefore, the fainting did not happen as anticipated. In fact, because his Senior High School Knowledge skill had reached Master level, he was clear-minded and was in a relaxed state. He felt as if he had just enjoyed a top-notch head massage. The previous bits and pieces of information were connected together. All the subjects were interconnected and reorganized in Li Chengqian¡¯s memory, forming a more complete knowledge system. ¡°If I take the university entrance examination now, I can score full marks!¡± After the knowledge system in his mind was sorted out, Li Chengqian smiled happily. In his previous life, the failure of the university entrance examination was the cause of his parents¡¯ traffic accident. ¡°The fate of my university entrance exam has completely changed! My parents¡¯ fate will also be reversed.¡± With Li Chengqian¡¯s current situation, he would definitely succeed in the university entrance exam. It was impossible for him to fail again. His parents didn¡¯t need to register him for repeat studies, so naturally they wouldn¡¯t meet with a traffic accident. Ever since his rebirth, Li Chengqian¡¯s heart had actually been hanging by a thread. At this moment, he can finally relax a little. All the skills of the Student profession have been perfected. Li Chengqian tried to upgrade the Student profession on his personal interface. [Advanced Profession: University Student] [University Student Advancement Requirement 1: Attain Master level for all Student profession skills (Completed).] [University Student Advancement Requirement 2: Obtain a university admission notice and enroll successfully (Incomplete).] [University Student Advancement Requirement 3: Consume 5,000 experience value points (Incomplete).] Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The next day, Li Chengqian listened attentively in class. He did a mental calculation, he still needed 7,000 experience value points to purchase a Profession Slot. During class, he could obtain 10 experience value points per minute. He needed to listen attentively in class for 700 minutes! Fifty minutes per class, 7 classes a day. It would take two days. In fact, Li Chengqian had long known that one can upgrade very quickly in the early stages of the Master of All Professions game. In the later stages, it was almost impossible to upgrade quickly as it would cost more and more experience value points to upgrade. ¡°Li Chengqian has really turned over a new leaf? He¡¯s really prepared to study seriously?¡± Jian Qingli and Li Chengqian were deskmates. She was the clearest about Li Chengqian¡¯s studies. Li Chengqian had persevered for 3 days already. If he was only pretending to be serious, it was impossible for him to last so long. ¡°It¡¯s too late to start trying now.¡± Then, she turned her attention to yesterday¡¯s exam. ¡°Bi Jialiang told me that the results of yesterday¡¯s computing exam will be out this afternoon.¡± ¡°After the results are out, I have to say a few words to Li Chengqian so that he will stop bragging in future.¡± Thinking back on how Li Chengqian had invited her to join her team, Jian Qingli was especially angry. It was simply a scam. In fact, she felt that Li Chengqian had purposely said those words in front of Bi Jialiang. He was just trying to disgust her and to deliberately sow discord between the two of them. ¡°Fortunately, Bi Jialiang isn¡¯t a petty person. He didn¡¯t get angry with me because of this.¡± ¡°In the future, I have to stay away from Li Chengqian so that Bi Jialiang won¡¯t think that there¡¯s something going on between us.¡± Joining the competition with Bi Jialiang might get her into Divine Dragon University. Jian Qingli would never miss such an opportunity. Just as Jian Qingli was deep in her thoughts, the bell rang. The morning class was over. [You have accumulated 200 minutes of listening time. You have received 2,000 experience value points. You have 4,717 experience value points left in the Experience Pool.] [You have read for 40 minutes. You have received 40 experience value points. You have 4,757 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian took a casual glance behind him, stood up and walked towards Grade 12 Class 1. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you going to Grade 12 Class 1 to look for Ding Ling?¡± Jian Qingli suddenly asked. ¡°Mm!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. He had made an appointment with Ding Ling. At noon, they would go and collect the results together, then they would go to the cafeteria and the library. ¡°I¡¯m going to look for Bi Jialiang too. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Jian Qingli walked over. ¡°I¡¯ve made an appointment with Bi Jialiang. We¡¯ll go to Teacher Tian in the afternoon to get the results of yesterday¡¯s exam. Are you going?¡± Jian Qingli deliberately asked. Then, she had a teasing smile on her face, and she was waiting to see Li Chengqin¡¯s reaction. She thought that Li Chengqian would be evasive and would show signs of embarrassment or other emotions. But Li Chengqian said calmly, ¡°Going!¡± ¡°I vaguely heard you say yesterday that the questions for the exam are very simple, right?¡± Jian Qingli wasn¡¯t disappointed. She deliberately started to talk about yesterday¡¯s incident to mock Li Chengqian, wanting to see his reaction. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Li Chengqian nodded calmly. ¡°You¡¯re so stubborn. You¡¯re quite good at pretending, aren¡¯t you.¡± Jian Qingli pursed her lips. Yesterday, after Bi Jialiang¡¯s exam, he told her that the questions were especially difficult. Li Chengqian definitely wouldn¡¯t know how to answer the questions. He was just bragging. ¡°¡±Since the questions were very simple, how many marks do you think you can score?¡± Jian Qingli followed up on what Li Chengqian said and asked. ¡°100 marks! Full marks!¡± Li Chengqian said without thinking. His intelligence had already reached 19 points, almost twice that of an ordinary person. He saw through Jian Qingli¡¯s thoughts at a glance. Jian Qingli must have thought that he was bragging! She was just waiting to mock him after the results were released! But in reality, what Li Chengqian said from start to finish was the truth and nothing but the truth. Therefore, he wasn¡¯t at all bothered about what Jian Qingli was thinking! Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes immediately widened as she looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. ¡°100 marks? You have the cheek! Bi Jialiang told me yesterday that the questions were too difficult, so he could only score around 60 points.¡± Compared to Li Chengqian, Jian Qingli naturally believed in Bi Jialiang. ¡°When the results are out, let¡¯s see if you still have the cheek to do so.¡± She thought to herself. Ding Ling and Bi Jialiang were waiting at the entrance of Grade 12 Class 1. The two of them were also making small talk. ¡°Ding Ling, I heard that Li Chengqian felt relaxed in yesterday¡¯s exam?¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes hid his disdain as he asked. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be difficult,¡± Ding Ling replied indifferently. She didn¡¯t have the same gentleness and enthusiasm that she had when she was with Li Chengqian. The disdain in Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes intensified. Not difficult? What a joke! He racked his brains the day before and could only manage to pass the exam! Who was Li Chengqian? How much skill did he have? What qualifications did he have to say that it wasn¡¯t difficult! More like he didn¡¯t know how to answer a single question! ¡°Did Li Chengqian tell you how many marks he could score?¡± Bi Jialiang continued to ask. ¡°No!¡± Ding Ling replied coldly. Actually, Li Chengqian had told her that if nothing unexpected happened in the exam, he would be able to score full marks! However, she felt neither need nor obligation to tell Bi Jialiang this. Even if she did, the arrogant Bi Jialiang wouldn¡¯t believe it, so there was no need to waste time. Actions speak louder than words. When they get the results from Teacher Tian later, Bi Jialiang would have to accept the fact, whether he believed it or not. ¡°Ding Ling, actually, have you thought about it? What Li Chengqian said yesterday were all lies. He was just bragging. In fact, he didn¡¯t even know how to answer a single question.¡± After interacting with him for the past few days, Bi Jialiang realized that Li Chengqian was especially arrogant but his grades were lousy. He was always like this, staying calm as if he was in control and beyond caring. This was especially detestable. In addition, Li Chengqian badmouthed him in front of Jian Qingli, which made him hate him even more. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Ding Ling sneered as if she had heard the lamest joke. Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t lie to her! Since he said he would score full marks, then he would definitely do so! ¡°Then has it occurred to you that you found the questions difficult because your standard was too low? Li Chengqian found the questions easy because he¡¯s better at programming than you.¡± Ding Ling retorted. In fact, this was what she really thought in her heart. ¡°You mean, Li Chengqian¡¯s standard is higher than mine?¡± Bi Jialiang smiled. Other than ridicule, there was no other emotion in that smile. From beginning to end, Bi Jialiang had never treated Li Chengqian as an equal opponent. In his eyes, Li Chengqian was merely a target for amusement. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s standard is indeed higher than yours!¡± Ding Ling replied with absolute certainty. Bi Jialiang sneered and said confidently, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s wait and see.¡± ¡°When we go to Teacher Tian¡¯s place to see the results later, you¡¯ll know whose standard is higher.¡± ¡°When the time comes, I hope you can still speak with such confidence.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Teacher¡¯s office. Tian Wenming looked at the test results on the form. First place, Li Chengqian, 100 marks. Second place, Bi Jialiang, 58 marks. Third place, Mu Dehui, 33 marks. Fourth place, Zhang Liangjin, 18 marks. Tian Wenming did not continue reading because none of the students below scored more than 10 marks. ¡°This kid¡¯s studies are not good, but his talent in information technology and programming is especially solid!¡± Even if Tian Wenming did this set of questions, it was impossible for him to achieve full marks. ¡°Compared to Li Chengqian, Bi Jialiang is far inferior in terms of their grasp of the theories.¡± In the past, Tian Wenming had pinned his hopes on Bi Jialiang. Now, he seemed so so only. ¡°However, many specific problems need to be mathematically modeled if they are to be solved through a program.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s mathematics¡­¡± Thinking of Li Chengqian¡¯s mathematics results, Tian Wenming couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s mathematics is poor. As long as we assign him a teammate who is good in mathematics, one will be in charge of modeling, and the other will be in charge of programming.¡± Tian Wenming had already begun to plan for Li Chengqian. Just as Tian Wenming was thinking, the students who had taken the exam the day before appeared at the office one after another. Li Chengqian and the other three were the last to arrive. ¡°Teacher, the people who took the exam yesterday are all here. Can you announce the results now?¡± Mu Dehui was the first to arrive. He didn¡¯t get to see the results after he arrived, as he was tasked by Tian Wenming to maintain order. ¡°Alright!¡± Tian Wenming picked up the results form and walked out of the office. He glanced around and confirmed that everyone had arrived. He thought for a moment and waved the results sheet in his hand in public. ¡°Students, 25 people took the exam yesterday.¡± ¡°Only one student passed.¡± As soon as Tian Wenming finished speaking, Bi Jialiang revealed a smug smile. ¡°Bi Jialiang, the person who passed must be you. You told me yesterday that you could only score 68 points¡­¡± Jian Qingli deliberately said this as she looked at Li Chengqian. Yesterday, Li Chengqian boasted shamelessly that the questions were very simple. Now that the results were out, the only person who passed was Bi Jialiang. That meant that Li Chengqian did not pass. She purposely looked at Li Chengqian to see if he would blush. ¡°Of course it¡¯s me!¡± Bi Jialiang was extremely confident. At this moment, Tian Wenming waved the report card in his hand. ¡°The only person who passed this exam is Student Li Chengqian. He scored full marks!¡± BOOM! This piece of news struck Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang like a thunderbolt. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Her mouth was so wide open, it was big enough to stuff a goose egg inside. ¡°Teacher, who did you say passed the exam?¡± Bi Jialiang thought he heard wrongly and asked with a trembling voice. ¡°Li Chengqian passed!¡± ¡°You scored 58 marks, you missed by two marks.¡± Tian Wenming told Bi Jialiang his score. When Bi Jialiang heard this, he was shell shocked and his face turned ashen. He had always looked down on Li Chengqian, and had always thought that Li Chengqian only signed up to try his luck. However, the results of the exam were like a loud slap to his face. He now understood that he was the real loser! In the past, he was like a clown, ignorant and arrogant, putting on an act in front of Li Chengqian. Who knew how many times he appeared a fool in front of Li Chengqian. At the thought of this, Bi Jialiang¡¯s face turned as red as a monkey¡¯s butt. He raised his head and saw Li Chengqian and Ding Ling smiling and looking at him. His face flushed. ¡°They must be laughing at my arrogance and ignorance.¡± Then, he felt that everyone was looking at him mockingly. They were all mocking his arrogance and ignorance. Bi Jialiang couldn¡¯t stand still anymore. He didn¡¯t even care about Jian Qingli. He turned around and ran away. ¡°He actually scored full marks! Li Chengqian actually really scored full marks!¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s face was filled with disbelief, and she was shell shocked. Li Chengqian had already told her before that he could score full marks. But Jian Qingli didn¡¯t believe him at all. She felt that Li Chengqian was bragging! She had always thought that was just trying to get her attention! Because in her heart, Li Chengqian was a nobody. She even wanted to use Li Chengqian¡¯s words to mock him after the results were announced. Now that the results have been announced, she realized that she was wrong. Absolutely wrong. Li Chengqian, whom she looked down on, was actually the most formidable person. Bi Jialiang, whom she had always thought the world of, was nothing compared to Li Chengqian. Thinking of her attitude towards Li Chengqian these few days, as well as those hurtful and sarcastic words, Jian Qingli felt her face flush. She felt that everyone around her was looking at her with disdain. Jian Qingli was filled with regret. ¡°Why did I say those hurtful words to Li Chengqian¡­¡± ¡°However, this matter can¡¯t be entirely blamed on me. If Li Chengqian had told me earlier that he knew how to program, I wouldn¡¯t have made such a mistake!¡± A wave of resentment washed over Jian Qingli. ¡°Why, why didn¡¯t Li Chengqian tell me this earlier!¡± Jian Qingli left with Bi Jialiang in a sorry state. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m guessing that Jian Qingli must be very regretful!¡± Ding Ling had a smile on the corner of her mouth as she looked at the sorry state that Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were in. She felt that had been vindicated and she felt such a relief. ¡°Perhaps, but what does it have to do with us?¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. After his Intelligence Stats increased, Li Chengqian could plainly see all the disdain, despise and mockery that Jian Qingli thought that she had hidden well. However, he took into account that they not only neighbors, but also classmates, Hence, Li Chengqian still said what he needed to say. He had wanted to help Jian Qingli get into Divine Dragon University by getting her into the top 50 of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition¡­ Unfortunately, Jian Qingli didn¡¯t appreciate it. From the beginning to the end, Jian Qingli did not take him seriously. Since that was the case, forget it! ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± When Ding Ling heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, she was beaming with such joy. ¡°Li Chengqian and Bi Jialiang will be the two teams participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!¡± ¡°Mu Dehui, take the report card and pass it around if you want to see the results.¡± Seeing Mu Dehui¡¯s dejected expression, Tian Wenming comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t be depressed. You¡¯re only in your second year of high school. You still have a chance next year! Best of luck!¡± After Tian Wenming finished giving his instructions, he waved at Li Chengqian for him to come over. He needed to fully understand Li Chengqian¡¯s situation so as to tailor a learning plan for him. At the same time, he also needed to explain the relevant problems that Li Chengqian needed to pay attention to in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. As long as Li Chengqian¡¯s hands-on experience wasn¡¯t too bad, and he was given a teammate strong in mathematics, Li Chengqian had a high chance of emerging in the top 50 in the country! As an instructor, he was on the same boat as Li Chengqian, and his name would also appear on the list of national programming competitions. Tian Wenming was excited when he thought of this. ¡°Li Chengqian, your performance has made me see you in a new light.¡± ¡°Your theory is solid. I have nothing more to teach you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to talk about your mathematical modeling ability. I know, it¡¯s very bad!¡± ¡°I want to know how your practical experience is. Do you have your own program? Have you participated in any open source projects online?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Chengqian had wanted to tell Teacher Tian Wenming that his mathematics wasn¡¯t lousy anymore! He could easily solve any question that was within the syllabus. However, when he thought of how he only scored 40 out of 150 marks in the last mock exam, he kept his mouth shut. Tian Wenming would definitely not believe it. ¡°Next week is the second provincial joint mock exam. When the time comes, results will speak for itself.¡± ¡°I only learned programming recently. I don¡¯t have hands-on experience, and I have not written my own program either¡­ Also, Teacher Tian, what is the open source project you mentioned?¡± Li Chengqian answered Tian Wenming¡¯s questions honestly. Then, he started asking all the things he didn¡¯t know. This was the first time he had heard of the term open source project , both in his previous life and in this life. When Tian Wenming heard Li Chengqian¡¯s reply, he looked at him in shock. He had only learned programming recently? And he could get full marks? Tian Wenming had his doubts. What was most disturbing was that Li Chengqian had never written a program and didn¡¯t know about open source projects. ¡°Open source projects are projects that use open source codes available on the Internet. Anyone can participate in the development of open source projects. The projects on the gitee website and github website are all open source projects.¡± Looking at Li Chengqian¡¯s confused expression, Tian Wenming explained the use of open source projects in daily life. ¡°The Linux and Android systems we¡¯re using are the results of the open source project!¡± Actually, before Li Chengqian answered his question, Tian Wenming was very excited. But after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, his heart instantly sank, and he was greatly disappointed. Li Chengqian¡¯s theory was indeed very good! However, there was always a huge gap between theory and practice. It was just like how most people knew that the formula for gunpowder was sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal. However, apart from professionals, how many people have you seen successfully make gunpowder? This was the difference between theory and practice! ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Li Chengqian suddenly understood, and then his eyes flashed brightly. Li Chengqian had never heard of gitee and github websites, and the Linux system. He didn¡¯t know what they were, but he knew Android. What was the Android system? It dominated the mobile phone operating system worldwide. Nine out of every ten phones in the world use Android. ¡°Li Chengqian, the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is divided into two parts: the written test and the machine test. The written test takes up 40%, and the machine test takes up 60%.¡± ¡°According to the rules of the competition, the competition is divided into two stages¡­¡± Tian Wenming took out a Junior Informatics Programming Competition guide and told Li Chengqian the things to take note of in the competition. The entire competition was divided into two stages. The first stage was the preliminary round, also known as the screening round. During the screening round, students from the same province were ranked together. The top 20 students in the province would qualify for the finals. The preliminary round was only 10 days away. The date was March 25th, the written test would be in the morning and the computer test would be in the afternoon. The second stage was the finals which would be held on April 25th at Divine Dragon University located in the capital and the competition would run for a day. ¡°As there are only 10 days until the preliminary round, I can¡¯t give you much help. These are the past year written and machine test questions, as well as the model answers. Go study them.¡± ¡°If you encounter something you don¡¯t understand or can¡¯t understand, you can ask me anytime.¡± Tian Wenming pulled out a USB flash drive from the computer and handed it to Li Chengqian. If they had at least 30 days, Tian Wenming would put in a lot more effort to train Li Chengqian in programming. At the same time, he would also propose giving Li Chengqian a teammate who was especially strong in mathematics. He would do his best to help Li Chengqian emerge in the top 50 in the country. However, there were only 10 days left until the official competition. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any foundation at all. It was already too late for programming training. It wouldn¡¯t make much difference even if he trained hard. As for the issue of giving Li Chengqian a teammate who was strong in mathematics, he didn¡¯t even mention it. ¡°Get more hands-on practice and familiarize yourself with the use of programming software.¡± ¡°Read up on classic programs. Learn how other people solve problems when they¡¯re faced with them.¡± ¡°Thank you teacher, I will work hard!¡± Li Chengqian replied earnestly. ¡°Mm, practice more during this period of time and master the basics! Go for it!¡± After Li Chengqian left, Tian Wenming sighed in his heart, ¡°What a pity. If only Li Chengqian¡¯s practical skills weren¡¯t so bad.¡± ¡°Fortunately, we still have Bi Jialiang. There¡¯s still hope for Bi Jialiang¡­¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s mind raced as he thought of Bi Jialiang. ¡°However, Bi Jialiang didn¡¯t have fortitude. He turned and ran just because his exam results were worse than Li Chengqian¡¯s.¡± ¡°I have to give him some advice so that he won¡¯t do anything stupid in the future.¡± Tian Wenming shook his head. Not long after, Bi Jialiang appeared in the teacher¡¯s office dejectedly. His eyes were dim, as if he had lost his vitality. Jian Qingli was Bi Jialiang¡¯s teammate, so she came with him. However, Jian Qingli¡¯s brows were tightly knitted, and she was expressionless. ¡°Bi Jialiang, these are the revision materials for the competition¡­!¡± Tian Wenming repeated for Bi Jialiang what he had said earlier to Li Chengqian, and handed him a USB flash drive containing the information. Bi Jialiang remained silent. ¡°Kid, why are you so dejected?¡± Tian Wenming frowned. ¡°Teacher Tian, with someone as powerful as Li Chengqian around¡­¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s mood was very low. He had always felt that Li Chengqian was trash, but the tables had turned completely. Turned out he was actually trash. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s theoretical foundation is very good, but in other aspects, he is still inferior to you.¡± Tian Wenming comforted him. He had to boost Bi Jialiang¡¯s confidence. With Bi Jialiang¡¯s current state, he might not even make it through the preliminary round. ¡°Li Chengqian does not have any programming experience. In terms of practical operations, he¡¯s nothing!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian only scored 40 marks in the previous mathematics mock exam. In terms of mathematical modeling, he¡¯s not as good as you.¡± ¡°So, Li Chengqian isn¡¯t stronger than you right now!¡± ¡°But if you stay dispirited like this, Li Chengqian will quickly surpass you.¡± ¡°Since you care so much about winning and losing, why don¡¯t you pick up your spirits and openly defeat Li Chengqian in a real competition?¡± After Tian Wenming told him what he knew, Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes gradually lit up. His dispiritedness was swept away, and a new fighting spirit appeared on his face again. After Jian Qingli heard this, her tensed face relaxed, and she felt a lot more relaxed. Especially when Tian Wenming said, ¡°Li Chengqian is not stronger than Bi Jialiang!¡± These words were like a booster shot in her arm. ¡°My choice was not wrong! In fact, Bi Jialiang is still stronger than Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°In the actual competition, the written test only takes up 40%. Even if you get full marks, it won¡¯t be much. You won¡¯t be able to widen the gap between you and others.¡± ¡°In the competition, the real deciding factor is the results of the computing test!¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s confidence was boosted. Looking at the two of them, an imperceptible smile appeared in Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes. ¡°Teacher, thank you!¡± ¡°If you really want to thank me, study hard and strive to enter the top 50 in the country. Take the interview and enter Divine Dragon University. With such results, I can be evaluated as an outstanding teacher this year and get a raise,¡± Tian Wenming said with a faint smile. ¡°Teacher, I won¡¯t let you down!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll use my results to prove that my programming skills are the best in Tianyi High School!¡± Bi Jialiang became confident again. ¡°Teacher, we¡¯re going to revise.¡± After regaining his confidence, Bi Jialiang walked out impatiently. This time, he had lost face in front of Li Chengqian. He would regain his face ten times over in the actual competition. ¡°Good luck. Go for it.¡± Tian Wenming waved. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the school library. Not only were there books, but there were also computers. However, the computer¡¯s configuration was extremely low. In addition, the school¡¯s IT teacher had added restrictions to the system, so students couldn¡¯t play games on these computers. Therefore, no student would go to the library for gaming. Li Chengqian and Ding Ling sat apart from each other in the library. He found a computer that could be turned on and sat down. Li Chengqian opened the file given by Tian Wenming the day before. In addition to the revision materials mentioned by the teacher, there were also basic computing tutorials, introduction to Office software, and introduction to programming software. All documents were in Word format. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He first opened the computing tutorial file. ¡°Activate Focus skill!¡± Immediately, he felt extremely clear headed and mentally agile. All types of surreal lights kept flashing in his mind. Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian activated another skill. ¡°Activate Rational Thinking skill!¡± Instantly, all his emotions were temporarily blocked, and all his thoughts became logical. On the basis that his memory and comprehension ability have been enhanced, Li Chengqian could clearly feel that his reasoning ability had instantly increased manifold. All distracting thoughts vanished from his consciousness. Only one thought remained, and that was to learn the knowledge in the USB flash drive. The basic computing tutorial had 60 pages, and he finished reading it in two minutes. After activating the Rational Thinking skill, his reading speed increased. It was about three times faster than before when he only used Focus skill. This was because the computer mouse was not easy to maneuver. ¡°So, turning pages can be done by clicking on the page button!¡± Through the tutorial just now, Li Chengqian had already mastered all the shortcut keys. Then, he quickly opened the file on introduction to Office software. The tutorial was 257 pages, comprising Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Because he had already mastered the page-turning shortcut key, Li Chengqian gave up on the mouse and simply kept pressing on the page turning key. The page was turning at an extremely fast speed of one page every second. In less than five minutes, he had completed the tutorial on introduction to Office software! Without stopping, Li Chengqian opened the 168-page file on programming software tutorial. In just three minutes, he memorized the operating methods, shortcut keys, and software settings. He also integrated them into his own knowledge system. Even the designer of the software might not be able to understand the functions of the software interface as well as Li Chengqian. Next was the past year machine test questions for the Competition. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t planning to look at the past year questions for the written tests, as it was really no longer necessary. Li Chengqian had already finished learning the requisite materials listed in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Therefore, if nothing went wrong, he would still score full marks in the written test. He had never learned the machine test questions before. This was his shortcoming. With the enhancement of the Rational Thinking skill, he instantly recognized this as a critical point. The first question on the revision materials: Please write a simple facial recognition algorithm? The moment he saw this question, Li Chengqian¡¯s brain naturally gave him a way to understand the question. Obtain face image, structuralize image. Obtain proportion of facial features, convert to feature numbers. Obtain facial contour proportions, convert to feature numbers. Form facial eigenvalues. Obtain new face images, calculate eigenvalues, compare databases. Obtain result¡­ Then, one function after another, lines of code appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Even in computing large locations, these codes have been replaced by more efficient assembly languages. He only needed 58 lines of code to realize the facial recognition function! The model answer to this question was 287 lines of code. After reading the model answer, Li Chengqian realized that the model answer was more than ten times less efficient than his code! Instantly, Li Chengqian understood the true purpose of rational thinking. In Rational Thinking mode, Li Chengqian¡¯s thinking process was similar to the way a computer hardware operated. In this state, the program he wrote was compatible with the hardware and could operate extremely efficiently on the computer. Moreover, in this state, Li Chengqian¡¯s Rational Thinking skill would use his knowledge system to instantly produce the most optimal solution when a problem is stated. Every year, the Youth Informatics Programming Competition would have 10 machine test questions, 5 in the preliminary round and 5 in the finals. Teacher Tian Wenming had collected these questions for ten years. Thus there were a total of 100 questions. The entire revision material was close to 1,000 pages. To most people, this is a daunting volume. To Li Chengqian, this was child¡¯s play. His fingers flew as he continuously pressed the page button, and he only took a glance at the model answer for each question. Thirty minutes later, he finished reading the revision materials for the test. Li Chengqian read the competition topic carefully. To him, it really wasn¡¯t difficult at all. ¡°The machine test really isn¡¯t as difficult as I imagined it would be.¡± Li Chengqian had total confidence that he would score full marks if the level of difficulty was comparable to the revision materials. ¡°I have to practice my typing speed!¡± He had no issues solving the problems but because he was unfamiliar with the keyboard, his slow typing might affect his exam results. If he used a computer keyboard, Li Chengqian would not be able to do touch typing. He was still a two-finger typist and thus he typed very slowly. ¡°Every question requires a large amount of code. It would be a tragedy if I couldn¡¯t enter the code that had already appeared in my mind because I typed slowly.¡± Knowledge could be upgraded through reading or through proficiency upgrades in the Master of All Professions game, but typing speed had to be practiced. However, Li Chengqian had an advantage that an ordinary person didn¡¯t have, which was that he had already memorized all the positions of the letters on the keyboard. He only needed to familiarize himself with the keyboard and with the correct finger positions to do touch typing. At this moment, the Skill¡¯s usage time ended, and a notification appeared in front of him. [You have accumulated 60 minutes of reading time. You have received 60 experience value points. You have 4,817 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t bothered at all. After searching on the computer, he realized that there was actually a typing software installed on the computer for typing practice. Li Chengqian opened the software. He followed the instructions of the typing software and placed his fingers on the respective keys. He familiarized himself with the key, one key at a time. In his previous life, he had mostly used his cell phone. He was quite familiar with typing on his phone, but not on the computer. However, he had never used standard fingering to type seriously on a computer before. Therefore, although he had memorized the position of all the keys on the keyboard, his hands often couldn¡¯t coordinate properly. As such he kept making mistakes. Li Chengqian was not discouraged. He continued to practice letter by letter. In the beginning, nine out of the ten inputs were wrong. After practicing for a while, the number of mistakes had decreased to about seven. And the input speed was also increasing. While Li Chengqian was practicing typing, Bi Jialiang, who was reading materials in the library, noticed him. He purposely stood up to see what Li Chengqian was doing. When he discovered that Li Chengqian was using the typing software to learn typing, and was constantly making mistakes, the smile on his face immediately became brilliant. ¡°You even need to learn on the spot how to type on the. How many marks can you possibly score in the Competition?¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Two days later, at noon, in the computer area of the library. Amidst the crackling sounds, Li Chengqian finished typing a practice article. Looking at the data displayed on the software, he smiled. The input speed is 95 characters per minute, and the input accuracy rate is 99%. This was also because this article was in English. If it was a Chinese character article, according to the speed of at least three keystrokes per word, Li Chengqian¡¯s speed of inputting Chinese characters could only reach 30 words per minute. This was also not taking into account the time wasted in choosing characters during the typing process. If the time taken to choose characters was included, Li Chengqian could enter at most 20 Chinese characters per minute. Although this speed was not fast, it was already a huge improvement from before. However, did Li Chengqian have his own advantage, which was that his accuracy rate was especially high. Basically, there wouldn¡¯t be a situation where he entered wrongly. ¡°My input speed is still too slow.¡± However, input speed was different from knowledge. Knowledge could be acquired by upgrading Profession proficiency or Skill proficiency. As for typing, he could only rely on constant practice. While Li Chengqian was thinking, he switched to the homepage of the typing software. He had already completed the standard finger training, and there were basically no mistakes in the keys. What he needed to do now was to keep practicing to increase the input speed. In the typing software, there was a special training game to increase the input speed. ¡°Train!¡± Li Chengqian opened the game that came with the typing software and looked at the various letters and symbols that kept falling from the top of the screen. He was completely focused. Not far away, Bi Jialiang looked away from his screen. Teacher Tian Wenming had given him too much revision materials. Even though Bi Jialiang had already mastered all the basic knowledge, he didn¡¯t look at it. Even if he only reviewed the theory test questions, there were still the machine test questions, the Word document had more than 1,500 pages. Bi Jialiang had been reading hard for two days, but he had only read 200 pages. This was the result of skipping over the knowledge he had already grasped. If he had read everything in order, he would only have read 100 pages for the past two days. He stood up from his seat and stretched, his eyes looking toward where Li Chengqian was. When he saw that Li Chengqian was fully focused on playing a game, Bi Jialiang shook his head in disappointment. When he found out that Li Chengqian scored full marks in the theory exam, Bi Jialiang felt that Li Chengqian was a formidable opponent. However, after two days of further understanding, Bi Jialiang felt that he was overthinking. He had been going to the library the past two days, during noon time and after school. He would bump into Li Chengqian each time. Yesterday, he saw that Li Chengqian was practicing the most basic finger typing technique. His posture was clumsy and his speed was extremely slow. One look and anyone could tell that he was a beginner in computing. Today, he heard Li Chengqian typing furiously on the keyboard. Bi Jialiang was curious. Now he knew that Li Chengqian was playing games! And an extremely boring game at that. Although red crosses kept flashing on the screen, looking at Li Chengqian, he was clearly engrossed in it. ¡°His foundation is too poor. To think that he is so engrossed in a game that even a child can play.¡± Bi Jialiang despised him from the bottom of his heart. However, this also showed that the problem was that Li Chengqian¡¯s computing foundation was simply too poor. What Bi Jialiang despised the most was that from the first day Li Chengqian went to the library to use the computer, he had never seen Li Chengqian use the computer to revise or to write a program. Li Chengqian had never even brought along the USB drive given by Teacher Tian Wenming. As he was tired, Bi Jialiang went outside for a walk. Ten minutes later, he came back in and took a look at Li Chengqian. Then, he realized that Li Chengqian¡¯s posture hadn¡¯t changed. He was still playing that childish typing game. Li Chengqian looked like an internet addict, one of those kids who was addicted to online gaming. All his energy was focused on the computer screen. Bi Jialiang shook his head. ¡°There are only eight days left until the preliminary round!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t revise, but he¡¯s actually obsessed with a game.¡± ¡°If he goes on like this, he will be real trash.¡± ¡°I will definitely defeat Li Chengqian in the upcoming Junior Informatics Programming Competition!¡± ¡°I want to prove to everyone that he, Li Chengqian, is inferior to me, Bi Jialiang!¡± Li Chengqian was blissfully ignorant of Bi Jialiang¡¯s feelings. Half an hour later, he glanced at the time and found that there were only 10 minutes left before class started. He reluctantly turned off the computer. He definitely wouldn¡¯t eat into class time as that meant experience value points! For half an hour, he suppressed the discomfort, deliberately kept his eyes on the screen and didn¡¯t look down at the keys on the keyboard. It was especially painful in the beginning as he wasn¡¯t used to it. The accuracy of the input decreased instantly to less than 30%. After 20 minutes, he gradually got used to this feeling. What followed was an increase in input accuracy. By the time he closed the typing game, his input accuracy had reached 98%. The input speed in English had also increased, reaching 135 characters per minute. The input speed of Chinese characters also reached 32 words per minute. He made quick progress! Li Chengqian glanced at the time. He stretched and walked out of the library without any hesitation. In the past two days, he had used his Skills to focus and think rationally. He had read the books on logic, CPU instruction set, 30-day homemade operating system, and the principles of the linux operating system. Under the effect of the Skill, Li Chengqian had already digested these books thoroughly and had already fused the knowledge in the books into his own knowledge system. Because of the accumulation of his own knowledge, Chengqian formed a thought, a strong desire in his heart. He wanted to write a program himself to verify what he had learned. ¡°When I¡¯m done with the input practice, I¡¯ll start writing a program! I¡¯ll practice by writing an operating system program!¡± He had read a book the day before, it was titled 30 Days of Homemade Operating System. Then, he realized that the operating system was not as complicated as he had imagined. ¡°In the Master of All Professions game, the Agility Stats can increase the speed of one¡¯s attacks and also increase the range of one¡¯s vision.¡± According to his experience in his previous life, every level upgrade of a basic Profession would bring about an increase in one¡¯s Agility Stats. Moreover, among the skills of the Worker profession, there was also a skill that increased hand speed. ¡°The Worker profession is one of the three basic professions. He definitely has to take up this profession, but not now.¡± The three basic professions were Student, Farmer, and Worker. Students upgraded to increase Intelligence Stats, Farmers upgraded to increase Strength Stats, and Workers upgraded to increase Agility Stats. ¡°After school this afternoon, I¡¯ll be able to obtain enough experience value points to take up the Farmer profession.¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face as he looked at the value in the Experience Pool. Because it was a Saturday, there was a break in the afternoon. They did not go to the evening self-study session until Sunday night. With a whole day of free time, Li Chengqian planned to find a piece of land to test the effects of the Farmer profession. In the Master of All Professions game, the abilities of the Farmer profession were actually very powerful. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The last class in the afternoon was Teacher Wang Jianjia¡¯s English class. After the bell rang, the classroom instantly became noisy because it was the holidays. Wang Jianjia put down the test paper regretfully and said loudly, ¡°Students, please be quiet. I have something important to announce.¡± ¡°After I¡¯m done, you can leave immediately!¡± ¡°If you keep making trouble, I¡¯ll keep waiting until you quieten down!¡± Wang Jianjia¡¯s words were very powerful. After she finished speaking, the noisy classroom immediately went silent. ¡°Next Monday is the second provincial joint mock exam! It¡¯s especially important. Don¡¯t forget to revise your homework when you get home¡­¡± ¡°The results of this provincial joint examination will be announced online. If your results are too bad, you will be mocked by the third-year students in the province.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the school has implemented a new policy to use the results of this mock exam as the basis for further class segregation!¡± Wang Jianjia said very seriously. ¡°Students ranked below the 100th in the entire grade will form a new class called the Progressive Class.¡± This was because the school felt that the students ranked in the bottom 100 of the cohort were basically hopeless. If they were scattered in different classes, they would even affect the learning of the classes. The school might as well put these lousy students together, in any case, they were already at rock bottom. As soon as Wang Jianjia finished, everyone in class looked at Li Chengqian with gloat and pity in their eyes. They don¡¯t know about the other students but judging from Li Chengqian¡¯s results from the previous few tests, he was definitely in the bottom 100 of the grade. In other words, after the exam results are released next week, Li Chengqian would be kicked out of Grade 12 Class 5. Jian Qingli smiled at Li Chengqian and whispered, ¡°Li Chengqian, I think the school is targeting you.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and didn¡¯t respond. In his previous life, he had indeed been sent to the Progressive class. But it was impossible this time round! That was because as long as the questions are within the syllabus, he would be able to score full marks for any test paper! Liu Daqiang couldn¡¯t hold back the smile on his face. If Teacher Wang Jianjia wasn¡¯t still in the classroom, he would definitely have laughed out loud. These few days, he discovered that Li Chengqian was indeed listening attentively in class. However, it had only been three days, how much could Li Chengqian improve? The most he could do was to score 30 more marks. He was still worried that if Li Chengqian continued to be so serious,he might really do better at the university entrance examination. After listening to what Teacher Wang Jianjia said, he was no longer worried. Because Li Chengqian would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. How could a good teacher be assigned to the Progressive class? The teacher assigned to the Progressive class would be someone who had just joined the profession and wouldn¡¯t have much teaching experience. Without good teaching resources, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to improve in such a short period of time. ¡°Two days ago, Li Chengqian even asked me to wait and see his exam results¡­¡± ¡°This is great!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really waiting to see your results this time. Then, I¡¯ll wait to see you get kicked out of Grade 12 Class 5.¡± The other students looked at Li Chengqian with pity before retracting their gazes. ¡°That¡¯s it. School¡¯s over!¡± In an instant, most people rushed out of the classroom. ¡°Li Chengqian, come with me. I want to talk to you alone.¡± Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t leave, but waved at Li Chengqian. She also felt that the school¡¯s policies were unfair to students like Li Chengqian. However, she was a nobody and couldn¡¯t change the school¡¯s decision. She had been observing Li Chengqian¡¯s behavior the past few days. Li Chengqian listened especially attentively in every lesson. There was a huge change in his learning attitude from before. She could clearly see that Li Chengqian had really changed. Wang Jianjia would never give up on any student who was willing to learn. It would be a real pity if Li Chengqian really gave up on studying because of this incident. ¡°Teacher must have been worried that Li Chengqian would be provoked, so she asked him to stay back so that she could give him a prep talk.¡± Liu Daqiang was still packing his bag. ¡°Poor thing, he is about to be chased to another class. How pitiful.¡± Although Liu Daqiang said this, his beaming face clearly indicated that he was in a great mood. In Wang Jianjia¡¯s office. ¡°Li Chengqian, I will continue to give feedback to the school about the new segregation policy and try to keep you in our class.¡± ¡°However, the chances are not high.¡± ¡°But I can promise you that even if you enter the Progressive class, you can come to me if you have any problems.¡± Wang Jianjia said seriously. A trace of gratitude flashed in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. Then, he said calmly, ¡°Teacher, thank you for your concern.¡± ¡°However, I¡¯m confident that I can stay in Grade 12 Class 5!¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t planning to lie low in this exam! He wanted to score full marks! Then, he would bring the results home and show them to his parents! He wanted his parents to stop worrying about his results and stop being embarrassed in front of their colleagues. He wanted his parents to be able to proudly tell others that when his son scored full marks in the second provincial mock exams! ¡°En, I have faith in you, but don¡¯t be too optimistic. You also have to prepare for the worst outcome. You may go now.¡± Wang Jianjia looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s confident appearance and couldn¡¯t bear to dampen his spirits, so she could only frown and remind him. In the last exam, Li Chengqian¡¯s ranking in Tianyi High School was 10th from the bottom. Her thoughts were the same as Liu Daqiang¡¯s. Li Chengqian had indeed been very focused these few days, but how much could he improve just by concentrating for a few short days? ¡°Yes, Teacher!¡± Li Chengqian replied and quickly returned to the classroom. He could naturally tell that Teacher Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t believe him, but he didn¡¯t explain because there was no need to do so. After the exam results are released next week, Wang Jianjia would know why he, Li Chengqian, was so confident. ¡°Open the personal interface.¡± When he returned to the classroom, Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart while packing his bag. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 9 (Advanced) Skill: 1.

[You have consumed 10,000 experience value points. You have obtained a new Profession Slot. You have 7,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian switched to the Profession Certificate purchase interface and bought the Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession without hesitation. [You have consumed 5,000 experience value points. You have obtained the Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession. You have 2,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] A new page appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [Profession Certificate: Farmer] [Job Requirement 1: You need a hoe (Incomplete)] [Job Requirement 2: You need a unit of arable land (Incomplete)] These two requirements were exactly the same in the Master of All Professions game that Li Chengqian played in his previous life. He could purchase a hoe from a hardware store on his way home. As for land, there were many overgrown grasslands below his block. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions game, a one square meter piece of land was considered a unit of land. ¡°All set!¡± Li Chengqian walked out of the classroom with a face full of smiles. Chapter 20 - Taking up the Farmer Profession 2 Chapter 20 Taking up the Farmer Profession 2 The last class in the afternoon was Teacher Wang Jianjia¡¯s English class.

In Wang Jianjia¡¯s office. ¡°Li Chengqian, I will continue to give feedback to the school about the new segregation policy and try to keep you in our class.¡± ¡°However, the chances are not high.¡± ¡°But I can promise you that even if you enter the Progressive class, you can come to me if you have any problems.¡± Wang Jianjia said seriously. A trace of gratitude flashed in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. Then, he said calmly, ¡°Teacher, thank for your concern.¡± you ¡°However, I¡¯m confident that I can stay in Grade 12 Class 5!¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t planning to lie low in this exam! He wanted to score full marks! Then, he would bring the results home and show them to his parents! He wanted his parents to stop worrying about his results and stop being embarrassed in front of their colleagues. He wanted his parents to be able to proudly tell others that when his son scored full marks in the second provincial mock exam! ¡°En, I have faith in you, but don¡¯t be too optimistic. You also have to prepare for the worst outcome. You may go now.¡± Wang Jianjia looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s confident appearance and couldn¡¯t bear to dampen his spirits, so she could only frown and remind him. In the last exam, Li Chengqian¡¯s ranking in Tianyi High School was 10th from the bottom. Her thoughts were the same as Liu Daqiang¡¯s. Li Chengqian had indeed been very focused these few days, but how much could he improve just by concentrating for a few short days? ¡°Yes, Teacher!¡± Li Chengqian replied and quickly returned to the classroom. He could naturally tell that Teacher Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t believe him, but he didn¡¯t explain because there was no need to do so. After the exam results are released next week, Wang Jianjia would know why he, Li Chengqian, was so confident. ¡°Open the personal interface.¡± When he returned to the classroom, Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart while packing his bag. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 9 (Advanced) Skill: 4.Senior High School Knowledge (Master) 5.Rational Thinking (Master) Experience Pool: 17,948 ¡°Purchase a Profession Slot!¡± Without thinking, Li Chengqian directly opened the Profession Mall. [You have consumed 10,000 experience value points. You have obtained a new Profession Slot. You have 7,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Li Chengqian switched to the Profession Certificate purchase interface and bought the Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession without hesitation. [You have consumed 5,000 experience value points. You have obtained the Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession. You have 2,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] A new page appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [Profession Certificate: Farmer] [Job Requirement 1: You need a hoe (Incomplete)] [Job Requirement 2: You need a unit of arable land (Incomplete)] These two requirements were exactly the same in the Master of All Professions game that Li Chengqian played in his previous life. He could purchase a hoe from a hardware store on his way home. As for land, there were many overgrown grasslands below his block. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions game, a one square meter piece of land was considered a unit of land. ¡°All set!¡± Li Chengqian walked out of the classroom with a face full of smiles. At his block, Li Chengqian spent Herculean effort cleaning up a piece of grassland that was one meter long and one meter wide. Then, he used the newly bought hoe to turn the soil. The second notification of the Farmer profession appeared in front of him. [Profession Certificate: Farmer.] [Job Requirement 1: You need a hoe (Completed)] [Job Requirement 2: You need a unit of arable land (Completed)] [You have successfully taken on the Farmer profession! Current Farmer profession level 0¡­] ¡°Woohoo, it¡¯s finally completed!¡± Li Chengqian almost collapsed from exhaustion. After seeing the notification of his successful transition, he was so excited that he almost cried out. ¡°Open the personal interface!¡± Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession : Student level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 0 (0/1)¡ü Skill: 4.Senior High School Knowledge (Master) 5.Rational Thinking (Master) Experience Pool: 2,948 ¡°Upgrade!¡± Li Chengqian began to upgrade with eager anticipation. The experience value points in the Experience Pool were universal and could be used to upgrade the Farmer profession proficiency level. Very little experience value points was required to upgrade a basic Profession, so Li Chengqian didn¡¯t hesitate to upgrade the Farmer profession to level 9. [1,421 experience value points consumed, Farmer profession upgraded to level 9 (advanced), 1,527 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Your Strength Stats +9, current Strength: 19 points.] [Level 0, you have obtained Passive Skill: (Novice 0/1). Skill Effect: Endurance increases by 10%, consumption decreases by Endurance 10%.] [Level 3, you have obtained Skill: Wasteland Reclamation (Novice 0/3). Skill Effect: Consumes 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly turn 10 units of wasteland into fertile farmland and can flatten the terrain of this portion of land.] [Level 5, you have obtained Skill: Planting (Novice 0/5). Consumes 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly plant seeds on 10 units of land. The yield of crops will be constantly maximized. The growth time will be reduced to 1 hour.] [Level 7 Skill: Harvest (Novice 0/7). Consumes 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly harvest 10 units of crops.] [Level 9, you have obtained passive skill: Strength (Novice 0/9). You have been doing manual labor for a long time. You are strong and powerful. Your strength has increased by 10%.] When Li Chengqian raised the level of the Farmer profession to level 9, an explosive burst of power came out from his body. The fats on his belly disappeared at an extremely terrifying speed after his Strength Stats increased. Then, it turned into an eight-pack. Every part of his body felt warm, as if he was soaking in warm water. The increased Strength Stats released crazy amounts of energy, but without endangering Li Chengqian¡¯s health. Li Chengqian waved his arm, and a powerful force surged out from his body, making Li feel as if he had an inexhaustible Chengqian source of strength. ¡°This is a wonderful sensation.¡± Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t suppress the smile on his face. Only then did he turn his attention to the new Skill. ¡°These two Skills are both abilities to increase one¡¯s physique. Upgrade!¡± [You have consumed 810 experience value points. Passive skill: Endurance (Master), Passive skill: Strength (Master). You have 717 experience value points left in the Experience Pool.] After the Endurance skill was upgraded to Master level, the effect would be increased by 60% and the consumption would be reduced by 60%. Li Chengqian initially felt quite hungry because he was busy farming after he came back from school, and didn¡¯t have time to eat. After the Endurance skill has been upgraded to Master level, the originally unbearable feeling of hunger became less uncomfortable. After the Strength skill reached Master level, the increase was from 10% to 60%. Li Chengqian felt his body heating up. A powerful force was in his body trying to find an outlet. The fatigue in his body was swept away, and he instantly became energetic! The Strength Stats on his personal interface increased from 19 points to 30.4, more than three times that of an ordinary person! Initially, he felt that the hoe in his hand was a little heavy, but now, it was light as a straw. After testing the effect of the passive skills, Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the active skills. The Farmer profession was especially important in the Master of All Professions game. The food that was farmed could be used to quickly replenish the consumption of the game character. ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry to upgrade my proficiency for the time being. I¡¯ll try the skills of the Farmer profession first and see the effect in reality.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the one unit of land he had reclaimed with a hoe in front of him. When he was reclaiming the wasteland just now, he realized that peas are very suitable for use as a test of the effectiveness of the skills. Although the location he had chosen was very secluded and it was unlikely for anyone to spot him, it would be troublesome if someone did see him. Peas were very inconspicuous. Even if someone did see them, no one would make much of it. ¡°I¡¯ll upgrade the proficiency of the Planting skill first. This way, the time needed to plant will be very short.¡± According to the memories Planting skill to Master level, common plants of his previous life, after upgrading the such as peas would mature in three minutes. [You have consumed 405 experience value points, Planting skill (Master), 312 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Plant!¡± After obtaining all the ripe peas, Li Chengqian used the Planting skill on the reclaimed land. [This plot of land was not reclaimed using the Wasteland Reclamation skill. The Planting skill cannot be used.] ¡°Then let¡¯s use Wasteland Reclamation skill to reclaim first!¡± Fortunately, the range of use for the Wasteland Reclamation skill could be controlled. The smallest range was one unit of land. ¡°Reclaim!¡± Immediately, the land that he had used Herculean effort to reclaimed transformed. The range became a standard square with a length and width of one meter. The ground in the square instantly flattened. The yellow soil instantly turned into fertile black soil. The soil was moist and fertile. It was obvious that it was a good land. Li Chengqian looked at this scene in extreme surprise. This was because in his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, he only needed to point at an empty spot. There were basically no changes. However, in reality, the effect of the Wasteland Reclamation skill was very obvious. Li Chengqian looked around as if he was a thief. After confirming that there was no one around, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°The effect of the skills must not be seen by anyone.¡± ¡°Plant!¡± A ripe pea disappeared from his hand and landed in the center of the ground. Then, green sprouts appeared at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, instantly covering the entire land. It was lush, as if it had been growing for a month. Then, above the land, [Watering] a notification appeared. Li Chengqian poured a bucket of water on it. Immediately, small white flowers bloomed on the pea vine, as if they were fast-forwarding. The flowers withered at an extremely fast speed, and the plump pods hung with vines. [Mature, ready to be harvested] ¡°Harvest!¡± After Li Chengqian saw the notification, he used the Harvest skill straightaway. In the next moment, the pea vines in the ground turned into white dust and landed on the ground. The two plastic bags in front of Li Chengqian became filled with peas. [Pea Pods: 30 kilograms] [Pea pods characteristic. One kg of pea pod can restore 10 points of strength within an hour.] Without the food planted by the Farmer profession, the three-dimensional restoration of the body could only be refreshed at 12 am every day. Currently, due to the fact that he didn¡¯t have many professions, the consumption of three-dimensional skills was also very low. Therefore, Restoration Stats didn¡¯t seem that important now. However, after the profession has been advanced, about 10 points of three-dimensional Stats would be consumed when using a single Skill. By then, food planted by the Farmer profession would be extremely important. ¡°Let¡¯s eat stir-fried pea pods tonight!¡± The two bags weighed a total of 30 kilograms, but in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands, they were as light as feathers. Chapter 21 - Picnic Plans Chapter 21 Picnic Plans In Li Chengqian¡¯s home, Li Tianlan and Chen Li sat opposite each other. ¡°Old Li, Huang Jingjing called me just now to tell me something.¡± Huang Jingjing was Jian Qingli¡¯s mother. ¡°Oh, what did Huang Jingjing say to you again?¡± Li Tianlan frowned. He didn¡¯t like Huang Jingjing. Every time Huang Jingjing called Chen Li, she was either showing off Jian Qingli¡¯s results or talking about Li Chengqian¡¯s results. It often made the two of them very uneasy. Chen Li said worriedly, ¡°Huang Jingjing said that Tianyi High School is about to hold a second provincial joint mock exam. The school management is paying close attention to this matter and has come up with a plan.¡± ¡°In this exam, the bottom 100 students of Tianyi High School will be put together to form a new class.¡± ¡°This class will be full of mischievous students, and the teachers will be those inexperienced ones who have just joined the workforce.¡± ¡°You know our son¡¯s results. He will definitely be assigned to the Progressive class.¡± Chen Li¡¯s face was filled with worry. When she contacted the teacher initially, she was told that Li Chengqian had been studying very seriously these few days. She was still secretly pleased, but in the blink of an eye, she heard the bad news from Huang Jingjing. If he was assigned to the Progressive class, without a familiar teacher and learning environment, surrounded by mischievous students, it would take a miracle for Li Chengqian to continue maintaining this learning spirit! ¡°Old Li, think of a way to see if it¡¯s possible for your son to stay in his current class.¡± Chen Li was especially anxious, and was hoping that Li Tianlan would have a way. Li Tianlan frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this school? They should be focused on helping students improve their grades at this critical moment of the university entrance examination. Why are they planning to reassign classes at a time like this? They should have their heads checked!¡± ¡°When our son comes back, we have to give him a prep talk. Even if he gets assigned to the Progressive class, he has to persevere and keep studying hard.¡± ¡°Old Li, your son¡¯s future is at stake! Think hard, surely you can find a way.¡± Chen Li looked at Li Tianlan expectantly. ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary person, what can I do?¡± Li Tianlan smiled bitterly. He had already gone through the people he knew in his mind. Crack! ¡°Dad, Mom, I brought back some pea pods. How about we stir-fry these for dinner tonight?¡± After Li Chengqian went straight into the kitchen to put down the two bags of pea pods. ¡°Dad, Mom, what¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Li Chengqian put down the bags and walked to the living room. He saw the two elders looking very solemn. Li Chengqian was stunned. He carefully recalled what had happened in his previous life. Other than the Peach Blossom Mountain the next day, there was indeed nothing major happening at this time. After confirming that nothing particularly bad would happen, Li Chengqian finally relaxed. ¡°What else could it be? It¡¯s about Tianyi High School¡¯s class reassignment¡­¡± Li Tianlan said somewhat dejectedly. ¡°You guys already know about the second joint mock exam?¡± Li Chengqian said in surprise. He was prepared to keep this matter from his parents because once his parents found out, they would definitely be very worried about him. They would also think of all ways to let him stay in his current class. In his previous life, his parents had done this. However, after putting in so much effort and losing all their face, Li Chengqian still got reassigned to the Progressive class in the end. ¡°Yes, your Auntie Huang told us.¡± Chen Li had a bitter expression. Looking at the two elders, one was bitter and the other was depressed, he immediately understood why the two elders had such expressions. ¡°You guys are worried that I will be assigned to the Progressive class, right?¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. With his current results, he would never be assigned to the Progressive class. ¡°Yes!¡± Chen Li and Li Tianlan were both sullen. ¡°The two of you don¡¯t have to worry. I won¡¯t be assigned to the Progressive class.¡± Li Chengqian said firmly and confidently. ¡°Also, before the results are out, don¡¯t go pleading with anybody.¡± ¡°You can go talk to someone if my results really turned out to be bad.¡± ¡°Are you really confident?¡± A mother knows her son best. Li Chengqian¡¯s confidence was genuine. Moreover, Li Chengqian had never lied to her since he was young. ¡°I¡¯m confident! Just wait and see. I¡¯ll definitely give you guys a surprise.¡± Li Chengqian smiled confidently. ¡°Alright! Mom will wait for your surprise.¡± Chen Li hesitated for a moment before nodding. Chen Li temporarily put aside her anxiety and hurriedly ran into the kitchen. ¡°Son, why did you buy so many pea pods? How much is a catty? Have you been shortchanged?¡± Upon closer inspection, the two bags of pea pods were both verdant and plump. The pea pods were so tender that water could be squeezed out. She said in surprise, ¡°Son, where did you buy these pea pods? They¡¯re so fresh.¡± ¡°I met an old lady selling it on the way,¡± Li Chengqian answered vaguely. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Immediately, Chen Li stopped caring about these details and began to cook. The fried pea pods were quickly served on the table. Li Chengqian popped one into his mouth, and his eyes lit up. Delicious! The unique fragrance of the tender pea pods was so aromatic it stirred one¡¯s appetite. ¡°Mom, you cook so well.¡± A smile immediately appeared on Chen Li¡¯s face. ¡°Eat more if it¡¯s delicious.¡± ¡°Chen Li, these peas are so delicious!¡± Li Tianlan couldn¡¯t help praising her after taking two bites. ¡°Is it really that delicious?¡± Chen Li picked up a piece and placed it in her mouth. Then, she was instantly conquered by the natural and fresh taste. It didn¡¯t take long for the family of three to finish the big bowl of pea pods. ¡°Honey, let¡¯s bring some of these peas pods for our picnic tomorrow, we can roast them there. These pea pods that our son bought are the best I¡¯ve eaten.¡± Li Tianlan rubbed his bloated stomach. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Son, our family, Aunt Huang¡¯s family, and Ding Ling¡¯s family have agreed to go to Peach Blossom Mountain for a picnic tomorrow. We¡¯ll leave at eight in the morning. You should sleep early tonight. Don¡¯t be late.¡± The three families had discussed the picnic a few days ago, as a means to help the three students destress. ¡°Peach Blossom Mountain?¡± ¡°In my previous life, because of my grades, my parents were mocked by Aunt Huang on Peach Blossom Mountain. I got upset and went for a walk around the mountain, and because I was preoccupied thinking about my studies, my father accidentally fell and injured his leg.¡± Recalling the situation at that time, Li Chengqian felt like kicking himself. He was a scum in his previous life. He only had eyes for Jian Qingli and didn¡¯t even care that his father was injured. ¡°Indifferent to the people who care about you, attentive to the people who ignore you!¡± Recalling his behavior in his previous life, Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t face himself. ¡°In the past, you guys have always been protecting me. From today onwards, I¡¯ll protect you guys.¡± ¡°This time on Peach Blossom Mountain, I definitely won¡¯t let any of you get hurt. I won¡¯t let anyone hurt you!¡± Li Chengqian made up his mind. ¡°These pea pods are quite effective!¡± After his meal, a force surged through his body and a warm feeling spread from his stomach throughout his entire body. Even without looking at his personal interface, Li Chengqian knew that the Strength Stats he had consumed to plant the pea pods were recovering. The effect on Li Tianlan and Chen Li were even more obvious. Because they were ordinary people, their Strength Stats were only around 10 points. After a day¡¯s work, their Strength Stats were about 3 points. They would have been exhausted and would have only wanted to sleep and rest. However, because of the pea pods they had eaten, the energy they had consumed was quickly replenished. Just as they finished eating, the energy they had consumed for the day had already been replenished. His body felt warm and fuzzy. His energy had also come back. He was invigorated and full of life! However, the pea pods they ate were still releasing energy. The two of them felt a little warm. ¡°Honey, this meal?¡± Li Tianlan looked at Chen Li in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s not the rice, it¡¯s the pea pods! There¡¯s something wrong with the pea pods!¡± The rice was the same as usual. The only difference was the pea pods that Li Chengqian brought back. ¡°I¡¯ll go to my son¡¯s room to take a look first.¡± Li Tianlan suppressed the horny thoughts in his heart and entered Li Chengqian¡¯s room worriedly. When he realized that Li Chengqian was fine and had already fallen asleep, he quickly ran out. ¡°Our son is fine. He¡¯s already asleep. Let¡¯s go to our room to talk about something¡­¡¯ ¡°Also, put the pea pods in the fridge. You can¡¯t bring them to the picnic. They are not good for children!¡± Chapter 22 - Showing Off Chapter 22 Showing Off ¡°Li Chengqian, where did you go this morning?¡± The next day, Chen Li felt refreshed and her face was flushed. Then, she saw Li Chengqian, who had just come back home. ¡°I went out to buy some seeds. I want to try planting them.¡± Li Chengqian raised the bag in his hand. He went out early in the morning to the seed market and even the wet market nearby, in preparation for the picnic at Peach Blossom Mountain. Li Chengqian recalled that in his previous life, when they were at Peach Blossom Mountain, Huang Jingjing not only talked about Li Chengqian¡¯s results, but also took out all kinds of precious ingredients to brag. All kinds of showing off. This was also one of the reasons why Li Tianlan was so upset. Since he had changed his fate, his parents¡¯ fate would be completely changed too. Li Chengqian went out to buy seeds. He had even gotten hold of precious truffle, matsutake, and dried mushroom spore powders. With the Farmer profession, he only needed three minutes to turn these seeds into food, regardless of geography, time, and weather. Although they made plans to go to Peach Blossom Mountain together, the three families drove there separately. They only agreed to barbecue there together. It happened to be the peach blossom season. On Peach Blossom Mountain, pink peach blossoms were everywhere. The spring breeze blew, and pink peach blossoms danced in the sky. It was a gorgeous sight. There was a small lake on Peach Blossom Mountain, and the surroundings of the small lake was flat. This was Li Chengqian¡¯s destination, Peach Blossom Valley. Jian Qingli was wearing skinny jeans and a white shirt. Her makeup was exquisite and she looked extremely beautiful. As soon as she got out of the car, she started posing and taking photos. Ding Ling¡¯s family had yet to arrive. ¡°Son, go play. Jian Qingli is over there,¡± Li Tianlan said as she stopped the car and unpacked his stuff. In his previous life, the moment Li Chengqian reached Peach Blossom Valley, he was so mesmerized by Jian Qingli that he followed her everywhere like a lovesick dog. He didn¡¯t even help his father carry the barbeque grill down. Naturally it won¡¯t be the same this time round. ¡°Dad, where do you think this barbecue grill should be placed?¡± Li Chengqian opened the trunk and took down the fifty-odd catty barbecue grill. With the enhancement of Strength skill, his strength had already reached a terrifying 30 points, equivalent to three times that of an ordinary person. Although his Strength Stats had yet to be fully unleashed and was still in the process of being continuously released, 50 catties was naturally not a problem. ¡°Son, be careful. The grill is very heavy. I¡¯ll go with you and let¡¯s just place it at the side.¡± Li Tianlan was especially happy that Li Chengqian had helped, he was also worried at the same time. He hurriedly ran over to help. Under his instructions, Li Chengqian quickly placed the grill. ¡°Our son has really grown up!¡± Chen Li was overjoyed when she saw this scene. ¡°Alright, your mother and I will do the rest. You go and play.¡± Li Tianlan saw that Li Chengqian wanted to help further and hurriedly chased him away. What¡¯s left was some trivial matters that didn¡¯t require much effort. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll go take a look around, maybe I can catch two fish in the stream.¡± Li Chengqian put the bag containing the seeds in his pocket, took a small bucket, and put a few plastic bags inside. He then strode towards the forest at the edge of the valley. There were many people in Peach Blossom Valley, but there was no one in the dense forest outside. The dense forest was deep. Other than the tall trees, there were many small bushes on the ground. There was no path in at all. Li Chengqian was not shocked, but delighted instead. He strenuously crawled into the dense forest. After walking for more than ten minutes and seeing that there were no traces of human activity around, he stopped at a spot that he was satisfied with. ¡°This place is not bad!¡± He vigilantly sized up his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, Li Chengqian no longer hesitated. He faced a barren grassland by the stream. Reclamation skill! In an instant, the overgrown wasteland disappeared and four units of land with fertile black soil appeared on the side of the stream. ¡°Plant!¡± Immediately, the seeds truffle, matsutake, ginseng and peanuts were planted. In actual fact, the two precious ingredients, truffle and matsutake, were fungi. There were no seeds, only spores. Li Chengqian had found them in a shop selling high end ingredients. Young sprouts instantly sprouted from the four pieces of land. Four ingredients that grew in completely different environments grew rapidly out of the ground. A rich, natural pine fragrance instantly filled the air. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t surprised. He lifted the bucket and went into the stream to get water. When the notification appeared, he watered the crops directly. ¡­ ¡°Li Chengqian actually ignored me!¡± Meanwhile, Jian Qingli was frowning unhappily. She had expected Li Chengqian to be fawning over her, like just before. But Li Chengqian actually grabbed a small bucket and went into the forest to catch fish. This was simply unreasonable! ¡°Maybe I got too close to Bi Jialiang and hurt his feelings,¡± Jian Qingli thought to herself. ¡°I was still thinking that this picnic is a chance to mend my relationship with Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian isn¡¯t even willing to come and talk to me. Forget it! Let¡¯s leave it at that!¡± But it was impossible for her to give up on Bi Jialiang because Bi Jialiang was her hope. If she followed Bi Jialiang, she might be able to enter Divine Dragon University without having to take the test. Therefore, no matter what, she wouldn¡¯t give up her relationship with Bi Jialiang for Li Chengqian. This was her bottom line. Not far away from Jian Qingli, her mother, Huang Jingjing, was bringing the food items out of the car bit by bit. ¡°Chen Li, let me tell you, this is the most critical period for the children now. As mothers, we can¡¯t do anything else, but we have to at least ensure the children¡¯s diet and nutrition,¡± Huang Jingjing said seriously. Then, she took out a palm-sized red frozen lobster. ¡°Australian lobster. It¡¯s very fresh. It costs 200 yuan per catty. It¡¯s extremely expensive. This one weighs two catties and cost me 400 yuan, but it¡¯s nutritious. The child likes it!¡± Then, she took out a bag containing about ten pieces of ginseng from the car. Each ginseng was as thick as a little finger. They looked white and tender, and were especially fresh. ¡°Ginseng is especially nourishing for the brain. The children are in their third year of senior high school now, and studying is especially taxing on their brains. Brain food is good for their studies.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that this isn¡¯t cheap either. 10 small roots, 500 yuan!¡± Huang Jingjing said proudly. Right on the heels of that, Huang Jingjing took out a box of beef slices with streaks of white fat visible. ¡°Kobe beef. This box costs 480 yuan. Kobe beef is the best beef in the world. It melts in your mouth. The beef in our country can¡¯t compare to this at all.¡± After Huang Jingjing took the beef, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Li, who had been silent the entire time, ¡°By the way, Chen Li, I forgot to ask you what food you¡¯ve prepared.¡± ¡°Pork belly, pork ribs, and frozen drumsticks. What are these? Pea pods?¡± Huang Jingjing didn¡¯t wait for Chen Li to answer and walked over to the food prepared by Li Chengqian¡¯s family. Her tone was especially exaggerated. ¡°Chen Li, let me tell you. It¡¯s fine to be thrifty during normal times, but the child will only be in Grade 12 for a year. We can¡¯t save on the child¡¯s food this year. We adults can skimp on ourselves, but we can¡¯t let the child suffer.¡± Huang Jingjing was arrogant. After commenting on the food prepared by Li Chengqian¡¯s family, she felt especially pleased. In addition, Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice was very loud, attracting the attention of many people around her. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the food they had prepared. Immediately, the smile on Chen Li¡¯s face became frozen. Li Tianlan, who was preparing the charcoal, also looked unhappy. Chapter 23 - All Trash Chapter 23 All Trash The ingredients on the four units of land had already been harvested by Li Chengqian using his skill. The plastic bag and the small bucket in front of him had already been filled with ingredients. There were more than 100 matsutakes, and each of them was the size of a fist. They looked amazing, white and tender, emitting a special scent. Li Chengqian had specially checked on the internet. This type of matsutake was considered top grade. One kilogram was worth about 1,000 yuan. One unit of land and one harvest only yielded two kilograms of matsutake. The other bag contained white truffles. There were only five of them, each about the size of a fist. There were only two kilograms in total. A very special scent came from the white truffle. It didn¡¯t smell all that good, and was a little like gasoline. However, this was a world-class ingredient. The price of one kilogram was about 10,000 yuan. Then, there was the ginseng. Five pieces of ginseng as thick as an arm. They were fair and fat with green roots and beard-like whiskers. There was also a bag of dried bacteria. The last bag was filled with fresh peanuts with shells intact. A particularly fresh scent emerged from the peanuts. Li Chengqian had always liked to eat raw peanuts. After harvesting them, he immediately peeled one and popped it into his mouth. The fragrance of peanuts immediately filled his mouth. Li Chengqian thoroughly enjoyed that fragrance. Moreover, these plants planted through the Farmer profession were already different from the original. Apart from their original properties, they also brought other properties. One could restore Strength Stats after eating matsutakes and truffles, but the restoration effect was average, one catty could only restore 3 Strength points, unlike pea pods. Ginseng was especially powerful. A mature ginseng could restore five Strength Stats and five Intelligence Stats every day for a week after eating it. One could restore Strength Stats by eating dried bacteria, but the effect was not very obvious. One catty could only restore +1 Strength Stats. Peanuts have new properties that restore eight Strength Stats in 24 hours. ¡°Plant!¡± A piece of ginseng sprout emerged from the four units of land, instantly covering the four pieces of black soil. The land reclaimed by the Farmer profession was extremely fertile and was the best land. Even if he used normal farming methods instead of the skills of the Farmer profession, he would still have obtained a good harvest. It was just that he would need the usual amount of time as ordinary farming. ¡°Not many people come here. I¡¯ll plant the ginseng here and come take a look whenever I have time. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions game, if I continue to farm after the crop matures, the quality will improve and the new crops will yield stronger effects.¡± Even if Li Chengqian didn¡¯t take care of it, it would still continue to grow. The only difference was that it would grow slightly slower. After planting ginseng in the soil, Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the ingredients he had just harvested. ¡°These are all top-notch stuff! I¡¯ll take them back and let my parents have a taste.¡± The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. He picked up the bag and small bucket and began to walk back. Struggling through the bushes, Li Chengqian returned to Peach Blossom Valley. Coincidentally, Huang Jingjing was haughtily imparting knowledge on good quality ingredients to Chen Li. ¡°Chen Li, let me tell you, at Grade 12, nutritional balance is very important. The children are tired of eating the same old pork, pork ribs, and pork belly. They¡¯re not willing to eat these anymore.¡¯ ¡°Seafood, top-of-the-line beef, rich in vitamins, amino acids, DHA, and other substances. Children become smarter after eating them.¡± Coincidentally, the ingredients Chen Li had prepared were pork, pork belly, and pork ribs. The only special item was the small bag of pea pods. ¡°Mom, I found some delicious food in the mountains,¡± Li Chengqian deliberately said loudly. Then, he lifted the food in his hand and brought it in front of Huang Jingjing. The smell of truffles was strong to begin with, and the smell of truffles planted using the skills of the Farmer profession was even stronger. Huang Jingjing sniffed and immediately detected a strange smell. This smell was like gasoline mixed with mushrooms, soil, and garlic. It was especially pungent! ¡°Yucks, Li Chengqian, what is that? Why is it so smelly?¡± Huang Jingjing moved to the side with a look of disdain. ¡°I was lucky. I found some truffles, matsutakes, dried bacteria, ginseng, and peanuts in the mountains!¡± Li Chengqian took the opportunity to separate Huang Jingjing from his mother. ¡°Pfft!¡± Huang Jingjing burst into laughter. Peach Blossom Mountain was not a place to grow truffles, matsutakes, and ginseng. If these three precious items were here, Peach Blossom Mountain would have been flattened by the wild animals. How could these be waiting for Li Chengqian to harvest? In addition, dried bacteria and peanuts were clearly not products of this season. So, without even looking at the items in Li Chengqian¡¯s hand, she was certain that he was lying. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s truffles or matsutakes, they¡¯re all top-notch ingredients. A catty costs a few thousand yuan. How can you possibly find them on this mountain?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mean to reprimand you, but it¡¯s best for children to be honest and not lie. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be difficult to change your ways in future.¡± Li Chengqian had a trace of anger on his face, but he did not argue with Huang Jingjing. Therefore, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say a word. Instead, he turned around and said to Chen Li with a smile, ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve brought pork belly and pork ribs today. These are all my favorite foods. Don¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s nonsense.¡± Immediately, a smile appeared on Chen Li¡¯s originally tense face. Compared to what other people say, the most important thing was to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s approval. ¡°Let¡¯s eat some peanuts first. I found them on the mountain. They¡¯re especially delicious.¡± The peanuts obtained through the Harvest skill were clean and did not carry any soil. They carried a natural fragrance. Li Chengqian opened the bag containing the peanuts, revealing the peanuts with the fragrance of the soil. ¡°Ding Ling, you guys come over and eat with us.¡± Seeing Ding Ling bring her parents over, Li Chengqian smiled as he beckoned them over. ¡°Sure!¡± Ding Ling agreed happily and walked over with her parents. ¡°Delicious, it¡¯s too delicious. Li Chengqian, where did you find these peanuts?¡± Ding Ling peeled a peanut and placed it in her mouth. The rich fragrance, as well as the fresh and sweet taste unique to tender peanuts, stimulated her taste buds. The others ate one of the peanuts skeptically. Then, their expressions instantly became the lit up, same as Ding Ling¡¯s. Everyone¡¯s eyes and they grabbed a second helping. Huang Jingjing watched as Li Chengqian ignored her, then invited Ding Ling and her family over to eat the peanuts. Moreover, she took notice of what he said about not listening to other people¡¯s nonsense. He was obviously talking about her. Instantly, she became unhappy. Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s family and Ding Ling¡¯s family sitting together and eating with relish, she felt even more uncomfortable. In addition, Li Chengqian actually didn¡¯t invite her to join in. This made her feel even more embarrassed. ¡°Frozen peanuts bought at five yuan a catty, and you¡¯re eating it so enthusiastically¡­ We¡¯ll see if you get diarrhea later,¡± Huang Jingjing cursed softly. ¡°What ginseng? I think it¡¯s just a white radish! Such a big ginseng will probably take hundreds years to grow. One stalk will cost hundreds of of thousands!¡± She turned to look at the ginseng that was as thick as an arm. She couldn¡¯t see it clearly because of the plastic bag, and thus it looked like a white her. radish to As for the matsutakes that Li Chengqian mentioned, she took a closer look and said disdainfully, ¡°These are clearly apricot mushrooms sold at the supermarkets. They¡¯ve even been washed.¡± If these were really matsutakes, they would cost more than 1,000 yuan per catty, and this bag would cost 5,000 yuan! As for the truffle that Li Chengqian mentioned, he deliberately stretched out her head to take a closer look and realized that it was white, just like a small sweet potato. ¡°Hehe, passing sweet potatoes off as truffle, you really have the cheek to brag!¡± ¡°Daughter, does Li Chengqian like to brag?¡¯ || Turning her head, Huang Jingjing asked Jian Qingli. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize it before, but recently I¡¯ve realized that he really loves bragging.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian ignore Huang Jingjing, Jian Qingli was also very uncomfortable because she felt that what Huang Jingjing said was the truth. Li Chengqian had no right to be angry. ¡°Daughter, don¡¯t hang out with such an untrustworthy person in the future. He definitely won¡¯t have a future.¡± ¡°Let them enjoy the five-dollar-a-kilogram frozen food.¡± ¡°Mommy will make Australian lobsters for you¡­¡± Huang Jingjing snorted and raised her head arrogantly. Be it Chen Li or the ingredients brought by Li Chengqian, they were all trash compared to her Australian lobster, Kobe beef, and ginseng. Chapter 24 - Do You Think I Dont Understand? Chapter 24 Do You Think I Don¡¯t Understand? After eating the peanuts for a while, Ding Ling¡¯s parents were busy setting up the barbecue grill. Li Chengqian¡¯s parents went to the lake to try fishing, while Ding Ling stayed behind to help Li Chengqian. She went over the things Li Chengqian found on the mountain. ¡°Li Chengqian, what¡¯s this? Apricot mushrooms? How do you eat them?¡± Ding Ling opened the bag containing the matsutakes and asked curiously as she looked at the 15-cm long matsutakes. ¡°These are matsutakes, put them on a skewer and roast.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know how to eat them either, but when they were by the barbecue grill, he supposed anything could be skewered and roasted. Surely it won¡¯t go wrong. ¡°Oh!¡± After a while, Ding Ling finished skewering all the matsutakes and opened the bag containing the white truffles. Smelling the stench from the bag, she frowned. ¡°Eh, Li Chengqian, what are these? Why is it so smelly!¡± ¡°These are white truffles. It¡¯s good stuff. They smell bad but taste good!¡± Li Chengqian explained. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ve never eaten it before. I want to have a good taste after I¡¯m done roasting it.¡± Ding Ling frowned and tried to get used to the special taste of white truffles. ¡°En, this is relatively rare. I found them all on the mountain. In a while, I¡¯ll call Uncle and Auntie over to taste it.¡± Li Chengqian said as he placed the charcoal in the middle of the grill. After trying very hard, he finally started the fire. ¡°Li Chengqian, should I slice the radish?¡± At this time, Ding Ling took out a piece of ginseng from the bag. ¡°Leave it for the time being.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s lips twitched. This was clearly ginseng, ok? It was just a little bigger! There were a lot of people in Peach Blossom Valley today. One of them was especially fat. His stomach was three times the size of an ordinary person¡¯s. He was Huang Daliang, the owner and head chef of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. His Western food was superb. He was undoubtedly number one in Tianyi City. In addition to serving western cuisine, his restaurant also dealt with some precious ingredients. ¡°Why does it smell like white truffles?¡± Huang Daliang sniffed hard. The unique smell of truffles was especially strong, even more fragrant than the white truffles he had just spent a lot of money to import. ¡°It smells so good. Who¡¯s so rich to bring white truffles to Peach Blossom Mountain for barbecue?¡± Huang Daliang exclaimed. He sniffed hard again, trying to trace the source of the smell. ¡°This is definitely the smell of top-notch white truffles. It¡¯s even better than the batch I just bought. I have to ask this person where he bought it.¡± Huang Daliang followed the smell and walked over. After taking a few steps, he saw Li Chengqian and Ding Ling preparing the food. When he saw the fist-sized white truffle with uneven surfaces, Huang Daliang¡¯s breathing quickened. ¡°This is the highest grade white truffle!¡± Then, he saw Ding Ling wrap the white truffle in tin foil and place it beside the grill. The plan was for whoever wanted to eat it later to just place it directly over the fire to roast. ¡°Decadence! What decadence! To barbecue a top grade white truffle. If it were left to me I would have made a luxurious feast out of it.¡± Huang Daliang was heartbroken. It would have been fine if there was only one white truffle, but there were still nine more beside it. It looked like they would also be handled in the same manner! If he had these truffles, one white truffle of this size could make his restaurant popular for a week. ¡°What a waste. No, I have to teach them how to eat white truffles.¡± Huang Daliang couldn¡¯t help but walk toward Li Chengqian¡¯s barbecue grill. Huang Daliang actually had other ideas. If he could buy the white truffles from Li Chengqian, that would be for the best. If he couldn¡¯t buy them, then they probably won¡¯t turn down his suggestion for him, a top western chef, to cook the white truffles for them. After it was done, I would naturally be able to eat some. Thinking of this, Huang Daliang almost drooled. The reason why he was a chef was because he was gluttonous and had no resistance to top-notch ingredients. ¡°Qingli, look, isn¡¯t that the owner of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant?¡± Huang Jingjing was handling the Australian lobsters when she looked up and saw Huang Daliang walking over. She hurriedly asked Jian Qingli. The ingredients that their family ate today were all bought from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. They usually purchase their expensive groceries from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. Therefore, they had met Huang Daliang a few times. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him.¡± Jian Qingli nodded and answered affirmatively. ¡°He¡¯s here to greet us, right?¡± Huang Jingjing said in surprise when she saw Huang Daliang walking straight over. ¡°That must be it. The Australian lobster, Kobe beef, and ginseng that we brought over for barbecue today were all from Tianyi Daliang Restaurant.¡± Huang Jingjing was smiling very widely. She was extremely pleased. She looked at Li Chengqian and Ding Ling, who were busy, and thought to herself, ¡°This is the difference in life. This kid who only knew how to talk big will never have someone of a higher level come to greet him.¡± To have someone coming over to greet her, especially when this person had a higher social status. To her, it was her pride and her reason for feeling superior. ¡°I have to ask Qingli to keep a distance from Li Chengqian in the future.¡± ¡°Hang out more with people who are capable.¡± After Huang Jingjing flipped the lobster, the sweet smell of lobster came out. She straightened up with a smile and watched Huang Daliang walk over. ¡°Boss Huang, you¡¯re here for leisure too?¡± Huang Jingjing was the first to speak. Then, she looked at Li Chengqian and Ding Ling proudly. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Huang Daliang casually glanced at Huang Jingjing. After realizing that they were not familiar with each other, he replied very casually. Without stopping, he walked straight to Li Chengqian and Ding Ling¡¯s side. Huang Jingjing wanted to say something else, but when she realized that Huang Daliang was ignoring her, her expression turned awkward. ¡°Boss Huang is a busy man. He might have other important things to do,¡± Huang Jingjing said to ease her awkwardness. Then, she saw Huang Daliang standing in front of Li Chengqian and Ding Ling with a smile on his face. He asked very politely, ¡°Sorry to disturb the two of you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Chengqian glanced at Huang Daliang and realized that he didn¡¯t know him. ¡°It¡¯s like this. I want to ask, where did you buy this white truffle?¡± Huang Daliang pointed at the white truffle wrapped in tin foil. ¡°I run a western restaurant, so I¡¯m very sensitive to the taste of these imported ingredients. The white truffles you two are using are of top grade, and I¡¯m the gluttonous type. When I smelled the smell, I couldn¡¯t help with but come over and ask,¡± Huang Daliang said an embarrassed expression. ¡°Oh, I just found these white truffles on the mountain. I didn¡¯t buy it.¡± Li Chengqian told him the same story as he told the others. However, while the others would buy this story, it definitely wouldn¡¯t work for someone who knew truffles. However, that was what he had just said to Ding Ling, so he could only bite the bullet and tell Huang Daliang the same. But as he spoke, he winked at Huang Daliang. ¡°Little brother, do you think I don¡¯t know? Don¡¯t lie to me. White truffles of this grade cost more than 10,000 yuan per catty. They are only available overseas. These are all imported!¡± Huang Daliang¡¯s small eyes widened, as he gave a knowing look. ¡°Sigh, little brother, are your eyes not feeling well? Why are you blinking all the time?¡± Seeing Li Chengqian continuously blinking, he couldn¡¯t help but ask. Ding Ling was holding a small knife in her hand and carefully shaving the skin off the white truffles. After hearing what Huang Daliang said, she couldn¡¯t bear to peel any more. Her hands suddenly trembled and she cut herself. Then, she looked at Li Chengqian in shock and disbelief. Chapter 25 - Subpar Trash Chapter 25 Subpar Trash ¡°Mister, you are mistaken. I just found this when I went up the mountain. Everyone here can testify for me,¡± Li Chengqian said resolutely. ¡°Moreover, this is not an imported type. This is grown here in our country.¡± Li Chengqian picked up a truffle and placed it in front of Huang Daliang, pointing at the yellow dots on the cap. Huang Daliang took a closer look and indeed found characteristics typical of white truffles unique to China. ¡°Not bad! But this cap¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a little bigger. What¡¯s so strange about that?¡± Li Chengqian interjected. If he allowed him to continue, he would be exposed. ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, we have to continue preparing the ingredients.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t give Huang Daliang a chance to speak at all. He was telling him directly and indirectly: Go away, you¡¯re not welcome here. ¡°Little brother, since you picked up this truffle from the mountain, how about you sell it to me?¡± Not only did Huang Daliang not leave, he even deliberately walked closer and said to Li Chengqian with a smile. ¡°Not selling, not selling!¡± Li Chengqian rejected Huang Daliang¡¯s proposal without even thinking. He took the risk of using the Farmer profession skills to grow these precious ingredients. They are meant for his parents¡¯ consumption, and not for sale. Moreover, with the Master of All Professions game, earning money would be a breeze after he took on a worker-related profession. Therefore, after Li Chengqian was reborn, he had never bothered himself with money. As long as he upgraded his profession step by step, he would have an endless supply of money in the future. ¡°10,000 yuan per catty! Sell it all to me!¡± Huang Daliang bidded directly. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Huang Jingjing and Jian Qingli, who were standing not far away, heard this. Their eyes were popping out as they sucked in a breath of cold air. Ding Ling put down the fist-sized truffle in her hand carefully. ¡°I said I¡¯m not selling. No matter how much you offer, I¡¯m not selling,¡± Li Chengqian said with displeasure. ¡°Ding Ling, ignore him. Continue to prepare the ingredients according to my instructions! I picked this up from the mountain. It didn¡¯t cost a single cent!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, this is too valuable. I can¡¯t handle it well.¡± Ding Ling said softly. ¡°Little brother, I¡¯m Huang Daliang, the chef of Tianyi Daliang Restaurant. I have experience in handling white truffles. Why don¡¯t I help you handle it? What do you think?¡± Huang Daliang continued to say. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other motives. It¡¯s mainly because when I see such good ingredients, I really can¡¯t help but want to get involved.¡± Huang Daliang was all smiles. Seeing that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t object, he took over the position where Ding Ling was standing. He picked up the paring knife and twirled it skilfully around the white truffle. Instantly, a thin layer of almost transparent skin was shaved off. If it was in his shop, this layer of skin alone was enough for a portion of ruffle rice. He couldn¡¯t even bear to throw it away. After Huang Daliang dealt with the ingredients at an extremely fast speed, he looked at the condiment box that Li Chengqian¡¯s family had brought and frowned. Firstly, it was ordinary, and secondly, there was too little variety. It was only good enough for preparing ordinary food. But If it was used to prepare truffles, it was simply blasphemous! ¡°Little brother, the condiments you brought are too little. I¡¯ll get my people to bring over the condiments we need.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian nod his head, Huang Daliang was ecstatic. ¡°Xiao Wang, drive our car over and bring our seasoning to me. Then, put my portion of food here. You can take the rest to other places to barbecue.¡± Then, an entire shelf of seasoning was taken down from the car. Right on the heels of that, under Huang Daliang¡¯s command, a total of five Australian lobsters, three catties of snowflake beef, and all kinds of side dishes were taken down by him. Every ingredient was a rare treat. ¡°Little brother, I¡¯ll eat with all of you. What do you think?¡± Huang Daliang smiled kindly. One does not slap a smiling person. Not only did Huang Daliang contribute his effort, he also contributed other precious ingredients. In addition, he was extremely thick-skinned. Li Chengqian really couldn¡¯t bring himself to reject him. ¡°Alright!¡± When Huang Daliang heard this, he was over the moon and smiled like a child. Huang Jingjing, who had been standing at the side, looked terribly upset. She took the initiative to welcome Huang Daliang, but he didn¡¯t even bother to talk to her. But he was fawning over Li Chengqian. In that case, what was she?! Li Tianlan and Chen Li returned very quickly. After knowing what had happened, they said, ¡°Son, your luck is really good!¡± ¡°Chef Huang, what¡¯s this thing my son found? It¡¯s called white truffles, right? It costs more than 10,000 yuan a catty, right?¡± Glancing at Huang Jingjing, Chen Li felt especially vindicated and deliberately asked loudly. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Huang Daliang answered honestly. ¡°How¡¯s the nutritional value? How¡¯s it compared to Australian lobster and Kobe beef?¡± Chen Li asked deliberately. She had deliberately said it for Huang Jingjing¡¯s ears. She had not forgotten a single word Huang Jingjing had said in front of her. She was not a saint. She would remember being mocked and despised! ¡°White truffles are the best! They¡¯re better than anything else! Australian lobster and Kobe beef are subpar trash when compared to white truffles!¡± ¡°Oh, and what about the matsutake that my son found? How is it?¡± Chen Li looked at Huang Jingjing, whose expression had turned sour, and continued to speak happily. ¡°Top quality. If you want to buy it, it¡¯s more than 1000 yuan per catty.¡± Huang Daliang looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. He realized that the ingredients Li Chengqian ¡®found¡¯ were all top quality. He finally got it. These ingredients definitely couldn¡¯t have been found on the mountain. There had to be another source, but Li Chengqian just didn¡¯t want others to know. ¡°What about this dried bacteria?¡± Chen Li moved on to the next ingredient. ¡°This quality is at least 2,000 yuan per catty!¡± Huang Daliang said with absolute certainty. Huang Jingjing listened to Chen Li and Huang Daliang¡¯s conversation. She was no fool, so she could naturally tell that Chen Li was asking all these for her benefit. She had just bragged to Chen Li just now about the Australian lobster and Kobe beef, and criticized the ingredients that Chen Li brought. Instant karma. Within just a few minutes, Chen Li had already retaliated using the same method. Huang Jingjing was furious. Her face was contorted with rage, but she could only suppress it in her heart. ¡°What¡¯s there to be proud of? He just got lucky. It¡¯s not like he can find it every time!¡± ¡°Furthermore, this family has been poor all their lives. Their family background is not good to begin with. To think that they actually chose to eat this valuable ingredient that they had picked on the mountain instead of selling it. They deserve to be poor for the rest of their lives!¡± Huang Jingjing cursed in her heart. ¡°After eating this, their family can only eat pork ribs and pork belly for the rest of their lives!¡± ¡°And with my family¡¯s financial strength, we can eat Australian lobster and Kobe beef as many times as we wish!¡± Thinking of this, the sense of superiority in Huang Jingjing¡¯s heart returned. She felt high and mighty once again. ¡°Sister Huang, do you think my son is lucky or not? He actually found so many good things on a casual trip into the mountains,¡± Chen Li said with pride in her eyes as she looked over with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s actually better than what you paid so much money for, Sister Huang! And it¡¯s even more expensive. Just now, this chef said that while Australian lobster and Kobe beef are usually high class food, when compared to white truffles, they are subpar trash.¡± Huang Jingjing¡¯s expression turned really ugly. She could no longer maintain her high and mighty temperament. She felt that not only was Chen Li calling Australian lobster trash, but she was in fact also taking the opportunity to say that she was trash! What was even more infuriating was that she could not flare up yet! Chapter 26 - Refreshed Chapter 26 Refreshed Huang Jingjing was not someone who could be taken advantage of. How could she take it lying down after being mocked by Chen Li? She suppressed the anger in her heart. ¡°Chen Li, your son¡¯s luck in finding things is really amazing! He¡¯s indeed impressive. I can¡¯t help but admire him.¡± Huang Jingjing changed the topic and said with a look of pity on her face, ¡°It¡¯s just that he isn¡¯t very lucky in his studies. The school now wants to segregate classes based on the second joint mock exam.¡± ¡°Everyone knows your son¡¯s results. He will definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. Moreover, I heard that the principal is the one who made the policy this time. He¡¯s impartial. It¡¯s useless no matter who goes to plead with him.¡± ¡°What a pity, what a pity!¡± ¡°I heard from Qingli that your son has been studying quite seriously recently. After he has changed class and a new environment, with the new teachers, especially considering that he would be going to a class with all the lousy students, I wonder if your son would still be so serious. It¡¯s really worrying,¡± Huang Jingjing said hypocritically. She was obviously gloating. Immediately, the smile on Chen Li¡¯s face froze. She looked at Huang Jingjing angrily. It wasn¡¯t because of Li Chengqian¡¯s results. When Li Chengqian came back the day before, he had already told them about the results. After a round of discussion, they both felt that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t seem to be lying. She was angry because Huang Jingjing had called her the day before in all seriousness, pretending to be informing her of the class segregation. She had asked Chen Li to find someone to intercede and keep Li Chengqian in Grade 12 Class 5. What Huang Jingjing said just now was very clear. She knew that it was useless to find someone to intercede! Huang Jingjing acted as if she didn¡¯t notice Chen Li¡¯s anger. She continued with a smug smile, ¡°Chen Li, I have another piece of good news for you. Qingli has obtained an opportunity to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Tianyi High School is only sending two teams.¡± ¡°The teachers said that Qingli¡¯s team stands a chance of emerging in the top 50 in the country.¡± ¡°Do you know what it means to be in the top 50? You can have direct admission to Divine Dragon University without having to take the test!¡± Huang Jingjing was getting more and more proud, acting as if Jian Qingli had already obtained the admission ticket to Divine Dragon University without having to take the test. Chen Li¡¯s face became more and more sour. Even Li Tianlan, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, was getting visibly upset. ¡°This woman is quite good at talking.¡± Even Huang Daliang, who was focused on cooking, stepped back and sighed. Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Huang Jingjing. This woman¡¯s words are simply venomous! She had been attacking Chen Li, starting with the ingredients, then his results, and right after that it was about Jian Qingli participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Every issue she raised was aimed at displaying her sense of superiority. It could even be said that Huang Jingjing¡¯s sense of superiority was built on Li Chengqian¡¯s family. ¡°No wonder in my previous life, my father was so angry that he fell and broke his leg.¡± In his previous life, he had stuck by Jian Qingli¡¯s side, and he had no idea how much his parents had been mocked. Moreover, he was certain that his parents had suffered more ridicule in his previous life than this one. This time, he got the best ingredients, so Huang Jingjing didn¡¯t dare to talk about the ingredients later. This time, he had obtained a spot in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, which he hadn¡¯t in his previous life! Just as Li Chengqian was about to speak, Ding Ling, who was standing at the side, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Auntie, actually, Li Chengqian is also participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still the captain. I¡¯m his teammate!¡± ¡°Jian Qingli and I are not in the same team. Her captain is called Bi Jialiang!¡± ¡°Previously, in order to select the participants, the school organized an examination.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian represented our team in the exam. He got first place, 100 marks!¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang came in second, 58 marks!¡± ¡°Jian Qingli knows this best. If you don¡¯t believe me, ask her.¡± Instantly, the smile on Huang Jingjing¡¯s face froze. At this moment, Jian Qingli, who had gone out to take photos, happened to return. When she saw her mother¡¯s stiff expression, she asked in confusion, ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Li Chengqian is also participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± Jian Qingli had told her that she was participating in this competition, but she didn¡¯t say a word about anything related to Li Chengqian. ¡°You didn¡¯t ask me!¡± Jian Qingli replied in confusion. Then, she thought of what Huang Jingjing usually did and seemed to have figured out what was going on. She knew her mother too well. She loved to show off, compare, and find a sense of superiority. Instantly, she understood what had just happened. Then, her face turned as red as a monkey¡¯s butt. At this moment, Chen Li asked Li Chengqian, ¡°Son, why didn¡¯t you tell us about your participation in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± ¡°Mom, actually I don¡¯t think it¡¯s important at all. It¡¯s not something worth showing off, so I didn¡¯t tell you.¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. Even someone as thick-skinned as Huang Jingjing couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. Her face and ears turned red, and she wished the earth could swallow her up. Thanks to Bi Jialiang, Jian Qingli was qualified to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Huang Jingjing wanted to tell everyone in the world and win their praises. As for how Li Chengqian did it, how he obtained first place in the school exam, he didn¡¯t breathe a word to anyone. In comparison, Huang Jingjing felt even more embarrassed. Then, she pulled Jian Qingli and left without saying a word. ¡°Son, this is so satisfying! I¡¯ve never seen your Auntie Huang look so upset.¡± Chen Li was all smiles. Huang Jingjing had been irritating her for three years. This time, she could finally hold her head high. She felt the gloom accumulated in her heart was swept away, and she instantly felt refreshed! ¡°Mom, I said before that I would make you proud. Did you think I said that for fun?¡± Li Chengqian laughed. ¡°Hey, kid, I just said you¡¯re fat, and you¡¯re already panting!¡± Li Tianlan scolded with a smile. On the way back, Jian Qingli looked at Huang Jingjing, who was visibly upset, and asked carefully, ¡°Mom, were you showing off in front of Aunt Chen that I participated in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, child? How could you set me up like this? Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Li Chengqian had also qualified to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± Huang Jingjing said angrily. Jian Qingli was a sabotager. If she had known that Li Chengqian had also qualified to participate in the competition, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have broached this topic. ¡°You didn¡¯t ask me!¡± Jian Qingli rolled her eyes at Huang Jingjing and defended herself. ¡°Moreover, Bi Jialiang said that Li Chengqian¡¯s theoretical results are indeed very good, but his practical hands-on experience is nil.¡± ¡°Furthermore, Li Chengqian isn¡¯t studying properly. Recently, he¡¯s been playing computer games every day. He won¡¯t gain anything from the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang¡¯s judgment is that Li Chengqian will be eliminated in the preliminary round. He¡¯s destined to be eliminated. Why should I tell you!¡± Jian Qingli said unhappily. ¡°Is that so?¡± After Huang Jingjing heard this, she thought for a moment and told Jian Qingli, ¡°Qingli, when your preliminary exams are over, you must tell me Li Chengqian¡¯s results!¡± ¡°Also, aren¡¯t you guys going to take the second provincial joint mock exam next week? After the results are out, ask around about Li Chengqian¡¯s results and then update me.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s grades are so bad, he will definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. Why are you asking about his grades!¡± Jian Qingli said in confusion. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about what I¡¯m using it for. Just help me find out when the time comes.¡± In fact, Huang down at all. Jingjing couldn¡¯t take this lying When the results of the second provincial joint mock exam are released, she would talk to Chen Li and get her payback for what happened today. Chapter 27 - Second Mock Exam Begins, Stray Dog Chapter 27 Second Mock Exam Begins, Stray Dog On Monday, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling arrived at school early. Because of the incident in Peach Blossom Valley, Jian Qingli seemed to be avoiding them on purpose. In the end, she did not go to school with them. ¡°Li Chengqian, what did Chef Huang whisper to you yesterday?¡± Ding Ling asked curiously. Yesterday, Huang Daliang pulled Li Chengqian aside and muttered in his ears for more than ten minutes. In the end, Huang Daliang left with a smile on his face. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. He just told me to call him immediately if I find white truffles in the future.¡± Li Chengqian smiled. He wasn¡¯t lying to Ding Ling, he simply didn¡¯t tell her the whole truth. ¡°Oh, I see! Actually, Chef Huang¡¯s dishes are quite delicious. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I must go to his restaurant to eat.¡± Ding Ling recalled the barbecue was still relishing the taste. Especially the white truffles. They didn¡¯t smell good, but they tasted delicious. However, Ding Ling did not mention the white truffles because Huang Daliang had already given them the price of white truffles once. Li Chengqian was lucky to have found them once in the mountains, but he might not be able to find them a second time. If she talked about it, Li Chengqian would surely feel immense pressure. ¡°Chef Huang also told me that if I want to eat, I can call him any time. After the exams in the next few days, I¡¯ll bring you to his restaurant for a meal.¡± Li Chengqian was all smiles. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m just saying. After I went home, I checked and found that Chef Huang¡¯s Tianyi Daliang Restaurant is the best restaurant in Tianyi City. It¡¯s also especially expensive. On average, it costs 300 yuan per head!¡± Ding Ling shook her head. Then, she changed the topic again and talked about the second mock exam. ¡°Li Chengqian, how are your preparations for this exam?¡± Ding Ling¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. After all, Li Chengqian¡¯s previous results weren¡¯t good. ¡°No problem! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely give all of you a surprise.¡± Li Chengqian smiled confidently. His Student profession was already at level 9. His elementary, junior high, and senior high school skills had already reached Master level. A mere mock exam was nothing to worry about. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your surprise. Work hard for the exam. Don¡¯t be assigned to the Progressive class!¡± As the second mock exam was a joint examination for the entire province, the school attached great importance to it. The exam was basically held in accordance with the requirements of the university entrance examination. After parting ways with Ding Ling, Li Chengqian found the examination hall and sat down according to the seating plan. When he came in, he deliberately looked around. Other than the people from his class, there were also people from other classes in this examination hall. Liu Daqiang, Jian Qingli, and Bi Jialiang were all in this examination hall. Looking at the experience value points in the Experience Pool, he only had 1,032 experience value points. During the Saturday holiday, the remaining experience value points was 312 points. He obtained 200 experience value points through reading, and 520 experience value points through Planting skill. For the Farmer profession, experience value points were obtained through planting. He can obtain 10 experience value points for every unit of wasteland he reclaimed, and 10 experience value points for every unit of plant he planted. Every time he harvested, he could obtain a different amount of experience value points depending on the plant. For example, 100 experience value points could be obtained from planting and harvesting high grade ingredients like ginseng. However, because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn¡¯t dare to use the power of the Farmer profession on a large scale. Li Chengqian frowned and thought to himself, ¡°Without a teacher to teach, the experience value points I get every day in school is pitifully little.¡± ¡°Looks like I have to think of a way to go to the suburbs and use the skills of the Farmer profession to farm a whole bunch of experience value points.¡± His main goal in taking on the Farmer profession was to increase his Strength Stats. He had already surpassed his goal now. ¡°For this exam, I¡¯ll take a test at nine in the morning and another at two in the afternoon. I¡¯m allowed to hand in my paper in 30 minutes. If I hand in my paper at 9:30, I¡¯ll have five and a half hours in between.¡± The more he thought about it, the more Li Chengqian felt that this plan was feasible. In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, what restricted farmers from farming experience value points quickly was that seeds were especially rare and expensive. In reality, this problem did not exist at all. If he used 100 yuan to buy ordinary seeds, it was enough for Li Chengqian to use. The only problem was that he was afraid of being discovered. Liu Daqiang noticed Li Chengqian frowning in deep thought and he started imagining things. ¡°Hey, Li Chengqian, aren¡¯t you very capable? You haven¡¯t even started the exam and you¡¯re already frowning? You¡¯re worried that you won¡¯t be able to do the questions later, right?¡± After being rebuked by Li Chengqian once, Liu Daqiang had been waiting for an opportunity to ridicule Li Chengqian thoroughly, to the extent that he had no comeback. When the results of this exam are out, he would let Li Chengqian avoid him like the plague. Liu Daqiang wasn¡¯t the only one laughing. Jian Qingli was laughing too, and so was Bi Jialiang. All of them were waiting to see Li Chengqian¡¯s exam results, and then wait for Li Chengqian to be assigned to the Progressive class. The first subject was Chinese. The invigilation arrangement was the same as the university entrance examination. There were two invigilators, one in front and one behind. After the test paper was distributed, Li Chengqian filled in his personal information, flipped through the test paper, and began to answer the questions. ¡°It¡¯s so difficult! The questions for this provincial joint exam are even more difficult than the official university entrance examination!¡± Many students flipped through the test papers first and realized that the questions for this exam were much more difficult than usual. Li Chengqian was anxious to go to the suburbs, thus he didn¡¯t hold anything back amidst everyone¡¯s bitter cries. He quickly filled in the answers to the questions one by one on the answer sheet. These questions were too simple for him. There was no need to think at all. At a glance, the answers naturally came to him. The only thing that took some time was the essay question. He thought about it for about a minute before starting to write. Then, the words simply flowed. The answer sheet was clean and tidy. There were no typos or stains. In his previous life, Li Chengqian¡¯s handwriting wasn¡¯t good. However, in this life, calligraphy was included in the skills of the Student profession. After all the skills of his Student profession were upgraded to Master Level, his crooked writing became neat and tidy. They were especially beautiful. From the first question to the last question, Li Chengqian spent a total of 35 minutes, five minutes more than expected, and that was because the essay writing took a lot of time. ¡°Teacher, I want to hand in my paper!¡± After he finished writing, Li Chengqian raised his hand straightaway. He still needed to go to the suburbs. The teacher on the podium looked at the time and realized that only 35 minutes had passed. He frowned. ¡°Alright, you may leave!¡± Li Chengqian used the test paper to block the answer sheet and walked out of the classroom without hesitation. When Li Chengqian raised his hand to hand in the paper, everyone in the classroom saw it. ¡°Brother, did you just give up?¡± For ordinary people, they couldn¡¯t even finish answering the multiple-choice questions in 35 minutes. The only explanation for handing in the paper at this time was that he was giving up. Jian Qingli shook her head. She even felt that Li Chengqian was very pitiful, especially when he rushed out of the classroom in that manner. In her eyes, it was as if he was running away, like a stray dog. ¡°In the past, although his results were bad, he would persist until the end of the exam.¡± ¡°Now when he realized that he didn¡¯t know how to answer the questions, he handed in the paper the minute he could do so and left!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian has given up!¡± ¡°His test results this time might be worse than the last.¡± The smile on Liu Daqiang¡¯s face became even brighter. ¡°When the results are out, I¡¯ll say what you said in front of everyone. Let¡¯s see if you still have the cheek to remain in Tianyi High School.¡± Bi Jialiang also shook his head. His opinion of Li Chengqian had dropped another level lower. He discovered that ever since he obtained first place in the computing theory test, Li Chengqian had been proud and complacent, completely letting himself go. He no longer revised the questions for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. He even played games every day, did not study his textbooks, and did not take the exams seriously. ¡°Only now do I realize that Li Chengqian isn¡¯t even a worthy opponent.¡± Chapter 28 - Worker Profession 1 Chapter 28 Worker Profession 1 ¡°Personal interface!¡± Li Chengqian sat in the car heading to the suburbs and muttered in his heart. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 19 (30.4 after strengthening) (Average adult strength: 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession Student level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 9 (0/1)¡ü Student Profession Skills: 5.Rational Thinking (Master) Farmer Profession Skills 5.Strength (Master) Experience Pool: 1,032 ¡°Reclamation, Harvest skill, upgrade!¡± [You have consumed 810 experience value points, Wasteland Reclamation skill (Master), Harvest skill (Master), 222 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Immediately, the description of the Wasteland Reclamation skill and the Harvest skill changed. [Wasteland Reclamation (Master): Consumes 1 Stamina point. You can instantly turn 100 units of wasteland into fertile farmland and flatten the terrain of this portion of land.] After his Wasteland Reclamation skill proficiency reached Master Level, the amount of land he can reclaim at a time increased tenfold to 100 units. Using these skills to earn experience value points is ten times more efficient. [Harvest (Master): Consumes 1 Stamina point. You can instantly harvest crops from 100 units of land or use them on non-systemic land.] The harvest area of the Harvest skill had also increased by 10 times. At the same time, it can now be used on non-systemic land. After these two skills have been upgraded, all the skills of the Farmer profession are at Master level. Behind the Farmer profession, the word ¡°advanced¡± appeared. Li Chengqian clicked on it out of curiosity. [Advanced Profession: Farm Owner] [Farmer Owner Advancement Requirement 1: Attain Master level for all skills under the Farmer profession (Completed).] [Farmer Owner Advancement Requirement 2: Attain level 3 for Agricultural Management (Incomplete).] [Farmer Owner Advancement Requirement 3: Consume 5,000 experience value points (Incomplete).] [Farmer Owner Advancement Requirement 4: Obtain land use rights for more than 100 acres (Incomplete).] [Farmer Owner Advancement Requirement 5: Own complete set of equipment for tilling the land, sowing seeds, watering, harvesting and sorting (Incomplete).] ¡°The requirements for the Farm Owner profession are indeed different from the game.¡± Li Chengqian was a little disappointed. In his previous life, the Farm Owner profession was very simple. There were only three conditions. However, what was displayed now was much more complicated. ¡°Little brother, we¡¯ve arrived at the second bridge of the Fangsha river!¡± Just as Li Chengqian was deep in thought, the driver stopped the car by the roadside. To the north of Tianyi City, a small desert had gradually formed due to soil erosion. In order to manage the desert, Tianyi City had spent a lot of effort and money to dig a small river. A lot of money was spent every year on forestation to contain the desert. However, the effect was minimal! And the desert continued to expand. Li Chengqian chose this place because there was a river here. Another reason was that very few people came here as the sandstorm was very heavy. After Li Chengqian got out of the car, he crossed the bridge and walked along the side of the bridge for a while. He only stopped when he was far away from the road. After looking around carefully and realizing that there was no one around, he began to use his skills. ¡°Reclaim!¡± Below him, there was an area that was ten meters long and wide. It was originally yellow sand and gravel. In an instant, the land in this area changed. The yellow sand and gravel had unbelievably turned into black and fertile land. The land was moist. The originally slanted ground became flat under the effect of the skill, there was no more slope. [You have reclaimed 100 units of arable land, You have obtained 1,000 experience value points. You have 1,222 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Awesome!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s spirits soared when saw the system notification. ¡°Plant!¡± A handful of wild grass seeds that Li Chengqian had prepared in advance, as well as a handful of medicinal wolfberry seeds were planted. In an instant, the black ground was covered in dense weeds. The weeds were lush, as if they had been growing for many years. [You have planted 98 units of perennial weeds, You have received 980 experience value points. You have 2,202 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You planted 2 units of wolfberries. You have obtained 20 experience value points. You have 2,222 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] He fetched water from the river using a bucket he had prepared and poured it on the soil where the wolfberries were planted. The wolfberries quickly bloomed and bore fruit. Ripe wolfberries that were the size of peas emitted a rich medicinal fragrance. ¡°Harvest wolfberries!¡± [You have harvested 40 medicinal wolfberries, You obtained 400 experience value points. You have 2,622 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Medicinal Wolfberry: Each can restore 1 point of Strength Stats!] In the past two days, whenever he was free, he would test the abilities of various crops on the plot of land below his block. Through his experiment, he found that medicinal wolfberry was the best for restoring Stamina. Other items had to be consumed in large quantities to recover Strength Stats. It was fine to use them to improve one¡¯s health, but they are not suitable for releasing skills. Then, Li Chengqian followed the river and began to release the Wasteland Reclamation and Planting skills. He released a total of 20 times of Wasteland Reclamation and 20 times of Planting. Then, a full 200 meters of the riverbank turned green. It was filled with weeds, lush and extremely beautiful. [You have reclaimed up 2,000 units of arable land. You have received 20,000 experience value points. You have 21,622 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have planted 2,000 units of perennial weeds. You have received 20,000 experience value points. You have 41,622 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Seeing that he had officially exceeded the 40,000 mark for experience value points on his personal interface, Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t help but smile. Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and left. The riverbank had always been bare. Suddenly, the 200-meter-long riverbank had become green and filled with weeds. If anyone found out, he would definitely be a prime suspect. ¡°I definitely can¡¯t use Farmer profession skills casually in the future! It¡¯s too astonishing.¡± It didn¡¯t matter in the game, but in reality, the effect was simply terrifying! If he was found out, even if he weren¡¯t sent to the lab as research material, he would definitely be used as a tree planting machine. However, Li Chengqian had already achieved his goal of coming here this time, and that was to obtain enough experience value points to obtain the Worker profession. ¡°Now that I have enough experience value points, I can take on the Worker profession.¡± ¡°With the Worker profession, the software I write will also be considered an industrial product. ¡°As long as I create an industrial product, I can obtain experience value points!¡± The Worker profession was also a basic profession. After leveling up, one could increase one¡¯s Agility Stats. What Li Chengqian valued was the way the Worker profession obtained experience value points. After becoming a Worker profession, one could obtain experience value points by creating any industrial product. The more complicated and advanced the industrial products were, the more experience value points they could obtain. At the advanced level of the Worker profession, the method for obtaining experience value points was much better than any other profession. In Li Chengqian¡¯s plan, the Worker profession and the advanced level of the Worker profession were value points. his main sources of experience Chapter 29 - Worker Profession 2, Restoration of Vision Chapter 29 Worker Profession 2, Restoration of Vision Li Chengqian finished the English exam in the afternoon within 20 minutes. The questions were very simple, although most of the questions were very obscure and some words were not frequently used. However, the areas examined were all within the senior high school syllabus. It might be difficult for others, but for Li Chengqian, it was no different from a question like 1+1=2. It was very simple! After completing it within 20 minutes, Li Chengqian read it again from beginning to end as he wasn¡¯t allowed to submit the paper and leave. He was confident that he could score at least 145 marks for the 150-mark English subject. The other 5 marks were because he could not guarantee that he could score full marks for the English essay. After all, the score of a subjective topic like an essay had a lot to do with the subjective opinion of the teacher who graded the paper. After waiting for 30 minutes, when he was allowed to hand in his paper, Li Chengqian did not hesitate at all. He immediately handed in his paper and left the classroom. He had already bought a Profession Slot on the way back from farming in the suburbs. When he opened the inauguration certificate for the Worker profession to check the requirements, he realized that they were different from the Master of All Professions game in his previous life. In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, there were no prerequisites for taking on the Worker profession. However, there were prerequisites for taking on a Worker profession in reality. One needed a studio larger than 10 square meters to be able to take on the Worker profession. Li Chengqian, who was in a hurry to take on the Worker profession, rushed out immediately after the exam. Liu Daqiang¡¯s smile became even more radiant when he saw Li Chengqian hand in his papers and leave. In the first subject, which was Chinese language, Li Chengqian had handed in his paper within 30 minutes. Now, in the second subject, which was English language, Li Chengqian had done the same. It was obvious that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know how to do the papers. He had completely given up and let himself go. ¡°Now that he has been exposed, I wonder if Li Chengqian still has the face to continue coming to school.¡± ¡°Perhaps he thinks that after the results are out, he will go to the Progressive class and will be able to avoid my ridicule? Childish, he¡¯s simply dreaming! Why would I let you off!¡± ¡°The results of the exams will be released on Thursday, and the results will be announced online. You can check your results by entering your exam pass!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, when the time comes, I will definitely take a screenshot of your results and send it along with what you said back then to everyone I know. I will let everyone know what you are made of.¡± Liu Daqiang sneered. Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang also noticed that Li Chengqian had handed in his paper in advance. However, Jian Qingli only shook her head and didn¡¯t say anything else. Because the questions in this mock exam were very difficult, she was also struggling. Thus she didn¡¯t pay much attention to Li Chengqian¡¯s movements. In any case, Li Chengqian himself had already given up, so it wasn¡¯t worth her paying too much attention. ¡°Trash!¡± Bi Jialiang glanced at Li Chengqian. After cursing in disdain, he sighed in his heart. ¡°The exam questions this time are too difficult. The Chinese language exam in the morning was very difficult, and now the English language exam is also very difficult!¡± ¡°It¡¯s only normal that a lousy student like Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t know how to do it!¡± ¡­ Li Chengqian naturally chose to locate the studio in his home. It was also unrealistic for him to find another place to use as a studio. After careful consideration, he finally decided to use his home as a studio for the time being. In any case, as long as the area was more than 10 square meters and belonged to him, it was fine. After Li Chengqian quickly got home, he quickly opened his personal interface. After the last requirement was met, a notification appeared on the translucent page in front of him. [You have successfully taken on the Worker profession! Current Worker profession level 0¡­] Looking at the remaining 36,000-odd experience value points, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even think about it. He upgraded the Worker profession directly to level 9. [You have consumed 1,421 experience value points. Worker profession upgraded to level 9. You have 34,579 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Your Agility Stats +9, current Agility: 19 points.] Li After his Agility Stats increased to 19 points, Chengqian felt as light as a swallow. The feeling was like he had put down a sandbag that he had been carrying on his back. ¡°My eyes!¡± Li Chengqian felt a cool sensation in his eyes. Then, he realized that his vision was blurry, and a feeling of dizziness and nausea assaulted him. Li Chengqian hurriedly took off his glasses. Then, all the discomfort disappeared. Without his glasses, everything around him was crystal clear. ¡°My shortsightedness is cured!¡± After a few tests, Li Chengqian was overjoyed because he finally confirmed that his eyesight, which had reached 300 degrees of shortsightedness, had recovered after his Agility Stats reached 19 points. Previously, everything was blurry to him, it¡¯s as if there was a layer of frosted glass in between. He had to wear glasses to see clearly. Now it felt as if that layer of frosted glass had been removed and the whole world had become crystal clear, as if it had been washed with water. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that taking up the Worker profession would bring about the effect of eliminating myopia! It¡¯s worth it, it¡¯s more than worth it. Just the fact that I can restore my vision is worth it however much experience value points I spend.¡± Li Chengqian was overjoyed and his voice was quivering. Only those with myopia knew how uncomfortable it was to be nearsighted. To be unable to see anything clearly, to have to wear a pair of spectacles on one¡¯s nose every day, it was extremely inconvenient. After a prolonged period, there would be a deep dent on the nose. It was especially uncomfortable and unsightly. Moreover, if the frame of the spectacles was too tight, it would often scrape the skin above the ears, and that hurts a lot. Also, after one developed myopia, spectacles became a must, otherwise the myopia would worsen as the eyes became fatigued from the strain. With his spectacles on, it was inconvenient for him to exercise. If his spectacles accidentally fell off, he would be half blind. It could be said that once one was short-sighted, they would be short-sighted for life! Li Chengqian didn¡¯t expect the Agility Stats to have such an advantage. If he had known earlier, the first profession he chose would definitely have been the Worker profession and not the Farmer profession. Li Chengqian walked to the window and looked at the square in the distance. Then, he realized that even from a hundred meters away, he could see the other party¡¯s appearance clearly, even with naked eyes. ¡°With my current vision, I¡¯m qualified to be a pilot! It¡¯s definitely above 5.3!¡± After confirming that his eyesight had recovered and was even better than ordinary people¡¯s, Li Chengqian focused his attention on the notifications. [Worker profession level 1. You have obtained a passive skill, Agility (Novice 0/1): Agility Stats increased by 10%.] [Worker profession level 3. You have obtained a passive skill, Tool Mastery (Novice 0/1): Master the usage of simple tools.] [Worker profession level 5. You have obtained a skill, Quick Processing (Novice 0/1): Consumes 1 Strength Stats. Under the premise raw materials are provided and manufacturing principles have been mastered, you can quickly create non-software industrial products that you have already mastered.] [Worker profession level.7. You have obtained a passive skill, Precise Sizing (Novice 0/1): You are abnormally sensitive to size, you can detect sizes up to a 1 mm margin of error, just by relying on your palms and eyes.] [Worker profession level 9. You have obtained a Skill, Manufacturing Principle (Novice 0/1): After seeing a machine, you can consume a large amount of Strength Stats and master the Manufacturing Principle of the machine in an extremely short period of time. When the prerequisite knowledge conditions are not met, the required knowledge and level can be displayed.] ¡°Hiss¡­ So this skill didn¡¯t exist in the original Master of All Professions game!¡± After reading the description of the Manufacturing Principle skill, Li Chengqian was more astonished than anyone else. Especially after carefully reading the introduction of the Manufacturing Principle skill, there was only one thought in his mind¡ª this skill was out of this world! According to the description of the skill, Even if a photolithography machine was placed in front of him, he would be able to obtain the manufacturing technology of the photolithography machine in an extremely short period of time! If a CPU was placed in front of him, he could also obtain the manufacturing principle using the Manufacturing Principle skill. ¡°Let me take a look at the laptop¡­¡± Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t hold back anymore. He walked to his father¡¯s laptop and used the Manufacturing Principle skill. [Analysis of requirements for laptop: 1. Materials science proficiency (not mastered); 2. Integrated circuit proficiency (not mastered); 3. Electromagnetics proficiency (not mastered); 4. Polymer chemistry proficiency (not mastered); 5. Electronic informatics proficiency (not mastered); 6. Photoelectric Physics proficiency (not mastered); 7. Novice level acoustic electro-technology (not mastered)¡­ Chapter 180: Introduction to Bearing Studies (non mastered) [After mastering knowledge of the above subject, you will consume 91.18 million Strength Stats, and you will obtain the principle of making a complete laptop.] ¡°It¡¯s too difficult! You¡¯ll hurt yourself if you bite off more than you can swallow. I¡¯d better take it slow.¡± When Li Chengqian saw the figure of 90 million, he felt that this skill wasn¡¯t that realistic. However, Li Chengqian also knew that it was not that the skill was unrealistic, but that there was a problem with the way he used it. When skill on he used the Manufacturing Principle the entire laptop, the manufacturing principle of all the parts in the laptop would appear. Putting everything else aside, there was only one country in the world that could manufacture a CPU component in a laptop. It was the same for GPUs! Although the Divine Dragon Nation could make them, others were ahead by 20 years in terms of making use of its performance! And that was just one component of the laptop. Chapter 30 - Examinations are Over, Full Marks Exam Papers Chapter 30 Examinations are Over, Full Marks Exam Papers After testing the skills of the Worker profession, Li Chengqian stopped. The Worker profession has cured his myopia. This was a pleasant surprise. With his current Stats, it was very difficult for him to properly use the powerful skills of the Worker profession. Therefore, he turned his attention to his initial goal. His initial goal for the Worker profession was actually to write his own open-source operating system. Software development was part of the software industry. After Li Chengqian took on the Worker profession, he could also obtain experience value points by writing or modifying the operating system. Of course, there was a prerequisite, which was that he had to work in a studio in order to obtain the experience value points. Outside of the studio, he couldn¡¯t obtain experience value points through the Worker profession. According to the experience value points earned by the Worker profession in his previous life, if he worked in the software industry, he could obtain about 1,000 experience value points in an hour. When he has completed the software development, he would be given a lump sum of experience value points according to the technical content of the development. The Worker profession did not earn experience value points as quickly as the Farmer Class. However, the way to obtain experience value points in the Worker profession was less conspicuous and exaggerated as the Farmer profession. ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± Li Chengqian took Li Tianlan¡¯s computer to his room, turned on the computer, and installed the VC software. The 30-day homemade operating system and the linux kernel were downloaded to the computer. In the process of actually operating the computer, Li Chengqian realized that after taking on the Worker profession, his fingers had become more agile, his dexterity had improved, and his dynamic vision had become extremely good. Therefore, Li Chengqian¡¯s input speed increased by a full five times! On the premise that accuracy was ensured, Li Chengqian could easily press 20 keys per second without error. In other words, he could easily enter about 1,000 characters per minute into the computer and still maintain an accuracy rate of 99.9%. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± Li Chengqian used the two skills of the Student profession without hesitation. In the past, in the skill state, his vision restricted him from obtaining knowledge. Now that he had taken on the Worker profession, his dynamic vision had greatly improved. In the past, he needed one second to see the contents of a page clearly, but now, he could flip three pages in one second. ¡°This portion is too unwieldy, I have to restructure it¡­¡± ¡°The execution of this function is too slow, I¡¯ll use an assembly language to rewrite it¡­¡± With the enhancement of the Rational Thinking skill, the originally difficult code looked especially familiar and easy. Li Chengqian could even understand why the original developer wrote it this way. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t simply looking at it, he was also constantly marking out the places that needed to be modified and deleted. ¡­ On the second day of the exam, the subjects were mathematics and comprehensive science. Li Chengqian still did things his own way. The examination time for each subject was 30 minutes, and he would immediately hand in his papers the second he could do so, without any delay. This made everyone feel that Li Chengqian had really given up. But in actual fact, to Li Chengqian, the questions were really too simple. At a glance, the answer would appear in his heart. There was no need to use his brain at all. In addition, ever since he started studying operating systems as a Worker, Li Chengqian had been completely engrossed. 1000 experience value points per hour! The efficiency of obtaining experience value points was even higher than in class. Coupled with the fact that writing an advanced operating system gave him a very high sense of achievement, Li Chengqian found it especially interesting. ¡°After the results of this exam are out, I want to apply to Teacher Wang and the school for a leave of absence and focus on developing the operating system with all my might!¡± ¡°By then, I will definitely be able to earn a large amount of experience value points.¡± ¡°After I take on the University Student profession, I can use the remaining experience value points to buy the corresponding Knowledge skills.¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. Don¡¯t think that he had a lot of experience value points now. And it seemed like he would never run out of it. In fact, when his profession level had increased to level 10 or above, or when he had advanced to a higher level profession, the consumption of experience value points would increase by a hundred times. Li Chengqian remembered that in his previous life, the professional Knowledge skills of University Student could only be purchased from the Profession Mall using experience value points. The cheapest Knowledge was at least 10,000 experience value points. A large amount of experience value points was also required for upgrading of the proficiency levels. ¡°I sorted out about 10,000 lines of code yesterday. If I speed up today, I¡¯ll be able to finish writing all the codes for the system¡¯s basic core.¡± When he got home, he quickly turned on his computer and opened the project document. He quickly got into work mode. At Tianyi High School, after the comprehensive science exam was over, the students who usually had good grades surrounded Teacher Wang Jianjia when they saw her outside the classroom. ¡°Teacher, are the results of the English exam we took yesterday out yet?¡± ¡°Teacher, can you tell me how many marks I scored this time?¡± ¡°Teacher, the questions this time are too difficult. I wonder if I passed the exam?¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, quieten down.¡± Wang Jianjia was already used to such scenes and was very experienced in handling things. She raised her hand and spoke loudly. After everyone quietened down, Teacher Wang Jianjia said, ¡°Because this exam is a joint examination for the entire province. It¡¯s completely based on the examination model of the university entrance examination.¡± ¡°All the papers have been mixed up and scanned and uploaded online. Teachers from all over the province will grade the papers online.¡± ¡°There are no names on the test papers. No one knows which school or which student the test paper they graded belongs to.¡± ¡°Students, wait patiently. Don¡¯t be anxious. The results will be out on Thursday. You¡¯ll know when the time comes.¡± When Wang Jianjia said this, she seemed to have thought of something. She sent a photo of the test paper to the class group. ¡°Students, when I was grading the test papers yesterday, I found a test paper with full marks. I¡¯ll send it to the group now. Everyone, learn from this paper.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know who this student is, nor do I know which school he¡¯s from, but I reckon that he should be a student of Celestial Treasure First High School!¡± Celestial Treasure First High School was the best high school in the entire province. Every year, there were a few people from this school who could get into Divine Dragon University! ¡°Look at his paper, look at his essay!¡± When Wang Jianjia said this, her eyes were filled with admiration. There was not a single correction on this test paper. The paper was clean, and the handwriting was especially beautiful. Every letter is neat and smooth, it is such a pleasure to look at. ¡°Wow, this handwriting is so beautiful. It¡¯s even more beautiful than printed words!¡± Jian Qingli leaned over to take a look, her eyes revealing admiration and envy. ¡°This person is amazing!¡± Bi Jialiang was about to leave, but after hearing what Teacher Wang said, he also came over to join the crowd. After seeing the handwriting on the test paper, he felt that his handwriting was childish and unsightly. ¡°It¡¯s not just his handwriting that is good, but also his studies. Didn¡¯t you hear what Teacher Wang said? He scored full marks in English!¡± Liu Daqiang was especially convinced. ¡°He could get full marks for such a difficult paper. This person is really impressive, awesome.¡± ¡°I really want to know who this person is!¡± ¡°You think others are amazing, right? Are you convinced now? Then work hard and see the gap between you and others clearly. Don¡¯t be smug just because you passed an exam.¡± Wang Jianjia waited for everyone to express their opinions before speaking. ¡°By the way, did any of you see Li Chengqian?¡± Wang Jianjia¡¯s looked around but didn¡¯t find Li Chengqian. She had already gone to look for the principal to talk about Li Chengqian, but the principal¡¯s attitude was very firm. They had to follow the policy. Those with lower grades had to go to the Progressive class. She was afraid that Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t be able to accept it when the time came, so she wanted to give him a prep talk first, so that he wouldn¡¯t take it too hard. ¡°Teacher, Li Chengqian submitted his paper in 30 minutes for every exam. He left a long time ago.¡± Liu Daqiang said loudly. Wang Jianjia frowned. Meanwhile, when Li Chengqian heard his phone¡¯s notification, he reached for it and opened the message. He saw the test paper that Teacher Wang Jianjia had circulated. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t this my test paper?¡± Chapter 31 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Early the next morning. Li Chengqian was slumped on the table, his eyes listless as he looked at the podium. His eyes were bloodshot and his eyelids were twitching. If not for his grit, he would have fallen asleep long ago. Li Chengqian stayed up late the night before as he was writing codes. It was not until past three in the morning that he finished writing the codes and completed the core portion of the codes for the new operating system. With his modifications and additions, the core of this new operating system was especially efficient. It could tap 100% of the computer hardware¡¯s capabilities. It was ten times faster than the core of linux! Compared to the Windows core, it was 20 times faster! However, this was only the core of an operating system, not an operating system! In fact, because most of the codes were written in assembly language, even if Li Chengqian uploaded the codes online, not many people could understand it. Li Chengqian had a detailed plan for this operating system. In addition to the core code, the new operating system also had five modules: the file system module, the memory mobilization system module, the network module, the process scheduling module, and the interprogress communication scheduling module. tIt could be used as a complete operating system after all the modules have been developed. ¡°One month. I need one month to complete the coding of this new operating system!¡± ¡°I have to think of a way to apply for leave from the school. Sitting in the classroom every day like this is simply a waste of time.¡± Li Chengqian forced his eyes to stay open as he tried to support his heavy eyelids. In the end, he failed! Sleepiness overwhelmed him and he could no longer hold on. ¡°Sleep!¡± Li Chengqian closed his eyes. He had already completed all the senior high school courses and knew the contents of the teacher¡¯s lectures like the back of his hands. However, because he could obtain experience value points from listening to class, he couldn¡¯t bear to waste a minute and persisted on listening attentively. However, after taking on the Farmer profession and the Worker profession, There were more ways for him to obtain experience value points now. If he went all the way with the Farmer profession, he could obtain a huge amount of experience value points in a day. Even if he wasn¡¯t a very strong Worker at the moment, Li Chengqian could still obtain 1,000 experience value points per hour by writing codes at home for the operating system . After completing the core hardware scheduling module of the operating system the day before, he received a large amount of experience value points. Therefore, obtaining experience value points from listening to classes was no longer that important a method. Seeing Li Chengqian lying on the table and falling asleep, Jian Qingli shook her head with a trace of a sneer on her face. ¡°After the second mock exam, Li Chengqian went back to his old ways.¡± ¡°He probably thinks that he has no hope!¡± ¡°He would be assigned to the Progressive class anyway.¡± On the podium, Teacher Wang Jianjia was talking to the class about the English test papers. Teacher Wang Jianjia explained slowly and in great detail as the paper was very difficult. When she saw Li Chengqian sleeping on the table, she frowned initially. She then sighed in her heart when she thought of the school¡¯s class segregation policy, as well as Li Chengqian¡¯s results. ¡°Forget it. This child must be feeling very sad now. I shan¡¯t provoke him.¡± ¡°Sigh, this child, he was so hardworking and serious in class just a few days ago.¡± ¡°He has now been defeated by the school¡¯s class segregation policy and has lost his passion for studying anymore.¡± The lesson didn¡¯t last long and passed quickly. After the bell rang, Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t leave immediately. Instead, she walked down from the podium toward Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian! Wake up!¡± Then, she pushed Li Chengqian hard. Li Chengqian opened his eyes unhappily and looked up with sleepy eyes. After realizing that it was Wang Jianjia, he shook his head hard and forced himself to wake up. ¡°Li Chengqian, come out with me for a moment. I have something to say to you in private!¡± Wang Jianjia said solemnly. She didn¡¯t want to see Li Chengqian continue being despondent like that, so she wanted to have a heart-to-heart with him before the results were announced. ¡°Li Chengqian, I know that this second mock exam has dealt you a huge blow.¡± ¡°I also know that the school¡¯s class segregation policy is especially unfair to you.¡± ¡°However, the weak cannot contend with the strong. When we are weak, the only way is to accept reality¡± ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. After the results are out, even if you¡¯re assigned to the Progressive class, you¡¯ll still be my student. You can look for me if you have any questions!¡± ¡°I hope that you can return to your previous state, study seriously. Don¡¯t let external conditions affect your studies.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t get into university this year. As long as you maintain your previous learning spirit, I believe you will definitely be able to get into a good university next year.¡± When they arrived at Wang Jianjia¡¯s office, she spoke in a gentle voice, and hoped that her prep talk for Li Chengqian would motivate him to return to his previous learning state. Would he be defeated by the exam?! No way! There was indeed a problem with the class segregation policy, but what did it have to do with him! ¡°Teacher, you are mistaken. I didn¡¯t sleep in your class today because I felt defeated.¡± ¡°Teacher, you know that I am participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Last night, when I was learning programming, I was so inspired and engrossed that I stayed up too late¡­¡± Li Chengqian explained the situation honestly. ¡°Moreover, I don¡¯t care about class segregation anymore.¡± In his previous life, he was indeed especially frustrated by this policy. At that time, he had begged the teacher, and also asked his parents to pull strings. He didn¡¯t want to leave Grade 12 Class 5, neither did he wish to go to the Progressive class. However, he still ended up in that class! But now, this problem didn¡¯t exist for him at all. Because with his current results, no matter how the class was segregated, it was impossible for him to be assigned there. Even if there was a second class segregation, he would only be assigned to Grade 12 Class 1 and become the envy of everyone in the class. ¡°Teacher Tian Wenming already told me about you participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!¡± Wang Jianjia¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise. In fact, she didn¡¯t expect Li Chengqian to come in first in the school test. When Teacher Tian Wenming was looking for her to talk about Li Chengqian, she had asked carefully. At that time, Tian Wenming said that Li Chengqian¡¯s computer theory was very good, but he had zero hands-on experience! The possibility of passing the preliminary round was also zero! Even if he trained non-stop on practical hands-on computer skills from now on, it would still be difficult to pass the preliminaries. Therefore, Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t agree with Li Chengqian staying up late to learn programming. ¡°Your theoretical foundation is very solid, but you are lacking in hands-on experience. You really need to improve on this area¡± ¡°While the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is very important, so are your studies!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t let the competition affect your studies.¡± ¡°The loss would outweigh the gain!¡± Chapter 32 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Li Chengqian, did your teacher send the calligraphy god¡¯s test paper to you?¡± In the afternoon, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling were eating together, and Ding Ling spoke excitedly. ¡°What calligraphy god?¡± Li Chengqian was puzzled. What the hell was a calligraphy god? He really didn¡¯t know. He didn¡¯t know if the teacher had distributed the test papers because he had been catching up on sleep the entire morning. ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s confused expression and immediately became excited. She started to tell Li Chengqian about the calligraphy god. After the second mock exam, Teacher Wang Jianjia found an English paper that scored full marks. There were also teachers from other schools who graded test papers with full marks. Then, these teachers sent these test papers that have been graded full marks to the work group. In the work group, there were people from all the schools in the province. After seeing these papers with full marks, many people were especially interested, wanting to know which student had done these papers. Then, the teacher in the group downloaded the paper with full marks and sent it to the corresponding teachers so that the teachers could recognize the handwriting. Through this method, they did manage to identify some students. However, there was a test paper that scored full marks for every subject. That student¡¯s handwriting was firm and powerful, and was even better than most teachers. Then, they tried to match the paper with all the students known to have good results, but didn¡¯t manage to identify any possible student. Because they didn¡¯t know this student¡¯s name, the students nicknamed him calligraphy god when the papers were circulated. Calligraphy because the handwriting was especially good. God because the student could score full marks in every subject. ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll show you the calligraphy god¡¯s test paper.¡± Ding Ling opened her bag as she spoke. She took out the photocopied test paper from her bag and placed it in front of Li Chengqian. ¡°Not only did Teacher want us to learn from the calligraphy god¡¯s handwriting, but he also wanted us to learn how to answer the questions. It¡¯s so clean and neat without a single stain. It¡¯s really too awesome!¡± ¡°To be honest, barring unforeseen circumstances, this unidentified person will definitely be the top scorer of our provincial university entrance examination this year. He can even score full marks for such a difficult question. He¡¯s simply out of this world.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not on the same level as ordinary people like us.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes swept across the test paper that Ding Ling handed over. Then, the corners of his mouth twitched. Because the ¡°out of this world person¡± that Ding Ling was talking about was none other than himself! This test paper was his! Li Chengqian took the test paper and after a moment¡¯s hesitation, decided to tell her the truth, ¡°Ding Ling, actually this test paper is mine.¡± ¡°I am the ¡°out of this world¡± person you talked about, the calligraphy god!¡± When it came to the title of calligraphy god, Li Chengqian felt so ashamed he could hardly bring himself to say it out loud. Then, without waiting for Ding Ling to speak, Li Chengqian took the pen from Ding Ling¡¯s hand and wrote a line of words on the test paper. His handwriting was extremely beautiful, neat and forceful. The handwriting was exactly the same as Ding Ling¡¯s photocopied test paper. ¡°Look!¡± After Ding Ling saw Li Chengqian¡¯s handwriting, her jaw dropped. She was astonished as she looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°So, the calligraphy god that everyone has been looking for is you!¡± These days, Ding Ling hangs out with Li Chengqian almost 24/7. She discovered that Li Chengqian was much more knowledgeable and well spoken than most people. Moreover, she had also talked to Li Chengqian at length before the exam. Li Chengqian was very confident, and he even told her that his exam results would definitely shock her! She also felt that Li Chengqian would make great progress in this exam, but she really didn¡¯t think this progress would be so great to this extent. However, she had always believed that Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t lie to her. Moreover, she also felt that with Li Chengqian¡¯s intelligence, even if he had wanted to lie to her, he wouldn¡¯t do so at this time. After all, the next day was Thursday. Everyone¡¯s exam results would be announced. At that time, the sealed papers and answer sheets would be unsealed and distributed to everyone. Why would Li Chengqian lie to her for a day? There was no need for that at all. As such, she believed that what Li Chengqian said was true. ¡­ Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli were also eating together. They were very close to Li Chengqian, sitting at a seat behind him. Therefore, Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli heard every word of Li Chengqian¡¯s conversation with Ding Ling. When he heard Li Chengqian say that he was the calligraphy god, Bi Jialiang¡¯s face was filled with shock and disbelief. However, when Jian Qingli heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on her face. ¡°Jian Qingli, didn¡¯t you hear their conversation?¡± Bi Jialiang whispered. He didn¡¯t understand why Jian Qingli had such a disdainful expression. ¡°I heard it, but what Li Chengqian said is not true!¡± ¡°The calligraphy god is not Li Chengqian at all!¡± Jian Qingli said adamantly. ¡°Look, this is Li Chengqian¡¯s handwriting. I took a picture of his essay at the last mock exam.¡± Jian Qingli took out her phone, and opened up an image of a test paper. The words on the test paper were crooked. While it was not ugly, it was far from beautiful. Moreover, there were many areas on the test paper that had been smeared and edited. The paper was messy and unsightly. This test paper and the calligraphy god¡¯s test paper were definitely not by the same person. There was nothing in common. ¡°Now you¡¯re telling me that the calligraphy god is Li Chengqian?¡± Jian Qingli smiled disdainfully. ¡°No, definitely not! Li Chengqian¡¯s handwriting is like a primary school student¡¯s scribbles. The calligraphy god¡¯s handwriting has its own charm. He would very possibly qualify for the Calligraphy Association.¡± After Bi Jialiang looked at the picture Jian Qingli showed, he also made his own judgment. ¡°Li Chengqian is simply crazy. The results are going to be released tomorrow, and he¡¯s still lying to Ding Ling now. What exactly is he doing this for?!¡± This was something Bi Jialiang couldn¡¯t understand. ¡°Heh¡­ I don¡¯t know. He¡¯s becoming crazier and crazier. How can ordinary people like us understand what a crazy man is thinking?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. Then, the topic changed to the calligraphy god. ¡°Which school do you think this calligraphy god is from? Why is there no news at all?¡± Bi Jialiang thought about it and guessed, ¡°This calligraphy god might be from Heavenly Treasure First High School.¡± Heavenly Treasure First High School was the best high school in the province. Every year, someone from the school would be admitted to Divine Dragon University. Generally, the best students would enroll in Heavenly Treasure First High School. ¡°Why is there no news? I think Heavenly Treasure First High School might have deliberately suppressed the news.¡± ¡°That school doesn¡¯t want such an outstanding student like him to be poached, it¡¯ll be a huge loss for Heavenly Treasure First High School. They are trying to hide him for as long as they can.¡± Bi Jialiang couldn¡¯t help but look envious as he spoke. To think that he could score full marks for such a difficult question. He was simply out of this world! It was awesome! ¡°If only I could get to know him. The calligraphy god is so good in his studies. He must have very good learning methods. If he can give me some tips and advice, my results might improve a little.¡± Although he said that, Bi Jialiang knew that this was a dream. Jian Qingli nodded in agreement. Chapter 33 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Teacher Wang Jianjia informed the class of something when the evening self-study was about to end. ¡°Students, there¡¯s something else I want to tell you. The school has decided to hold a parent-teacher meeting for the third year students tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°The school has already sent a message to all the parents about the parent-teacher meeting.¡± ¡°Tell your parents when you get back.¡± ¡°At the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, we¡¯ll also announce the results of the second mock exam. At the same time, we¡¯ll also have to handle the class segregation for the bottom 100 students¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s very important. Unless there are very valid reasons, please ensure your parents attend the meeting.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it. Class dismissed!¡± Wang Jianjia deliberately glanced at Li Chengqian. Then, she realized that Li Chengqian was still sleeping on the table. She got a little upset. She had initially wanted to inform Li Chengqian that he could be excused if there were special circumstances in his family. This was because when Li Chengqian¡¯s parents came to school and heard about Li Chengqian¡¯s results, they might feel very embarrassed and would definitely lose face. But Li Chengqian¡¯s nonchalance made her even angrier. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so she left immediately. ¡°The school is so vicious. Isn¡¯t this killing me? If my father finds out that I¡¯m the last in class, I¡¯ll definitely be taught a lesson when I go home.¡± The students who did not do well could not help but whine. ¡°What are you worried about? Look at Li Chengqian, the last place in our class. He¡¯s still sleeping calmly and isn¡¯t worried at all!¡± A student pointed at Li Chengqian, who was lying on the table, and gloated. ¡°When the teacher announces the results in public tomorrow, Li Chengqian¡¯s parents will lose all their face. What good would he come to when he got home?¡± someone whispered. ¡°Tomorrow is the last day that Li Chengqian and I will sit at the same table. Going forward¡­ we would not be from the same universe!¡± Jian Qingli packed her bag and walked out without turning back. Liu Daqiang had a wicked smile on his face as he walked in front of Li Chengqian¡¯s table. Then, he took out his phone and took a photo of Li Chengqian. ¡°Poor, poor thing!¡± ¡°Tomorrow, Li Chengqian¡¯s bragging will be exposed. Even your parents will be implicated by you. They need to come to school to receive everyone¡¯s ridicule and disdain.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really a tragedy for your parents to have a child like you.¡± Liu Daqiang almost laughed out loud. ¡°We¡¯ll just have to wait for the show tomorrow! Let¡¯s see if you still have the face to stay by then.¡± Liu Daqiang left with a happy smile. ¡°Li Chengqian, class¡¯s over. Let¡¯s go!¡± When most of the people had left, Ding Ling came to Grade 12 Class 5. Seeing how tired he was, slumped on the table, her heart ached for him. ¡°Is class over?¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t stay up late at night. Programming is very important, but your health is more important,¡± Ding Ling said gently. She looked at Li Chengqian with teary eyes. She already knew that the calligraphy god who scored full marks in every subject was Li Chengqian. In other words, by the time of the university entrance examination, Li Chengqian¡¯s admission to Divine Dragon University was a matter of certainty. Now, why was Li Chengqian keeping late nights desperately practicing programming. Why? It was for her! So that she could also get a place in Divine Dragon University. Li Chengqian was working hard for her. This was why Ding Ling was touched. ¡­ ¡°Old Li, the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?¡± In the living room, Li Tianlan and Chen Li sat opposite each other with solemn expressions. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Li Tianlan gritted his teeth. The notice for the parent-teacher meeting clearly stated that the results of the second mock exam would be announced at the meeting tomorrow, and also the class segregation will be done as well. Based on Li Chengqian¡¯s past results and performance, as well as the situation they had secretly learned from the teacher, Li Chengqian being assigned to the enterprising class this time was practically a foregone conclusion. Moreover, Li Chengqian¡¯s exam results this time round, barring unforeseen circumstances, would still the last place in Grade 12 Class 5. It was especially embarrassing to attend the parent-teacher meeting. But someone had to go. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll go.¡± Chen Li shook her head and continued, ¡°I¡¯ll go. I¡¯m a woman. It¡¯s harder for others to laugh at me.¡± Li Tianlan was about to speak when Chen Li quickly interrupted him and continued, ¡°Old Li, don¡¯t pull a long face. This will put too much pressure on the child.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have a heart-to-heart with our son later and give him some confidence and encouragement¡­¡± ¡°Also, we support his participation in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. We can let him use our computer, but not beyond 12 am. Otherwise, it will affect his studies the next day.¡± The two of them kept discussing, even on their choice of words, in order to avoid hurting Li Chengqian¡¯s self-confidence. ¡­ Meanwhile, in Jian Qingli¡¯s house, which was only separated by a wall from Li Chengqian¡¯s house. Huang Jingjing sat beside Jian Qingli with a smile on her face. ¡°At the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, the teacher will announce the results and ranking of the students!¡± ¡°Alright, this is great!¡± Ever since she was mocked by Chen Li on Peach Blossom Mountain, Huang Jingjing had been feeling especially uncomfortable and had been waiting for the second mock exam to end. Originally, she just wanted Jian Qingli to find out about Li Chengqian¡¯s results and to update her. She didn¡¯t expect that the school would announce the students¡¯ results in front of all the parents. This time, Chen Li¡¯s family would definitely be humiliated. ¡°Daughter, do you know how many marks Li Chengqian actually scored? Or how many marks do you think he could score?¡± After suffering the loss last time, Huang Jingjing felt that she needed to clarify things first. Only then would she have the confidence to speak. She wouldn¡¯t want a repetition of what happened the last time, praising her daughter in front of others for obtaining the qualifications to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, only to turn around and discover that Li Chengqian had actually came in first for the test. That would be too awkward. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win every battle. This was a principle Huang Jingjing had learned on Peach Blossom Mountain. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s results aren¡¯t out yet, but based on the difficulty level of this exam and his past results, his total score shouldn¡¯t exceed 200 marks.¡± Jian Qingli thought about it and gave Huang Jingjing a number. ¡°What about you? How many marks do you think you can score?¡± Huang Jingjing asked. ¡°The teacher has already gone through the answers with us. I estimate around 510 marks.¡± There was a hint of pride in Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes. 510 marks might not seem high, but the questions for this exam were too difficult. According to rough estimates, there were only six people in Grade 12 Class 5 who were confident of scoring 500 marks. After asking Bi Jialiang, she was told that even in Grade 12 Class 1, there were only 13 people who were confident of scoring 500 marks. From what she knew, her results in the second mock exam had improved to the top 50 in Tianyi High School. In the previous exam, she was only ranked 137th in Tianyi High School. This time, she had improved greatly. ¡°Why did you only score 510 marks? I remember that you scored 570 points last time.¡± Huang Jingjing frowned. Jian Qingli started explaining herself, and then she told her about her guesses for the ranking. Huang Jingjing was relieved this time. Then, she began to look forward to the parent-teacher meeting the next day. ¡°Tomorrow, their expressions will definitely be very interesting.¡± Huang Jingjing smiled happily as she imagined the scene of the teacher reading the results the next day. Chapter 34 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, Chen Li and Li Chengqian set off from home. They didn¡¯t want to go with Huang Jingjing, nor did they want to run into her. In order to take care of Li Chengqian¡¯s self-esteem, ever since Li Chengqian returned the day before, they had not taken the initiative to ask about Li Chengqian¡¯s exam results. They only kept reiterating to him that he should persevere. At that time, Li Chengqian was engrossed with the programming of the new operating system, as such he didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter. Therefore Li Chengqian didn¡¯t speak to his parents about the results of this exam. Seeing Chen Li¡¯s nervous expression, Li Chengqian smiled and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± ¡°I did very well in this second mock exam!¡± ¡°Full marks for all four subjects.¡± ¡°The full marks test paper and the rumor of calligraphy god that has been circulating in school are actually me.¡± Li Chengqian showed Chen Li a few pictures of the test papers on his phone. Chen Li looked at Li Chengqian in shock, then looked at the test paper. ¡°Son, when did your handwriting become so good?¡± Li Chengqian had already expected this question. He quickly took out a new notebook from his bag. Indeed, the difference between his current and previous handwriting was too drastic. At first glance, no one would think that it was written by the same person. ¡°Mom, why would I lie to you? This is the notebook I¡¯ve been using to take notes. Take a look.¡± Chen Li opened the notebook skeptically, and a beautiful line appeared in front of her. Every word was strong and powerful, and was especially beautifully written. Moreover, this handwriting was almost identical to the handwriting on the test paper. On the way, Li Chengqian tried his best to convince them. Chen Li finally believed that he had scored 100 marks. Chen Li was so stunned by this piece of news that she entered the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5 in a daze. ¡°I have to call Old Li and tell him the good news.¡± Chen Li was about to take out her phone to make a call when she suddenly stopped. She had to be absolutely sure about this, else it would be especially embarrassing. After thinking about it, Chen Li suppressed the excitement in her heart and thought to herself, ¡°I¡¯d better call Old Li after the results are announced. What if I¡¯m happy for nothing¡­¡± Not long after, most of the parents had arrived. Jian Qingli led Huang Jingjing into the classroom. When she saw Chen Li, her eyes lit up. Then, she quickly sat down beside Chen Li. ¡°Chen Li, you¡¯re early.¡± Huang Jingjing said warmly, as if she had already forgotten what had happened on Peach Blossom Mountain. ¡°Sister Huang!¡± Chen Li greeted her briefly. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to stay calm. Usually, when she saw Huang Jingjing, she would be afraid that Huang Jingjing would talk about Li Chengqian¡¯s grades again. Now, with confidence, the fear in her heart had disappeared. Huang Jingjing was a little surprised that this time round, Chen Li wasn¡¯t avoiding eye contact. ¡°Chen Li, let me tell you. I just heard the other parents talking about your son.¡± ¡°Someone even made a photo of your son sleeping in class into an emoticon,¡± Huang Jingjing said as she handed her phone to Chen Li. This was a photo of Li Chengqian sleeping on the table, and there were three lines of captions in red. I, Li Chengqian, scored 280 points in the mock exam. Although I sleep in class, ¡°However, I am confident that I can get into university. ¡°Look, it¡¯s really too wicked¡­¡± Huang Jingjing laughed out loud though she claimed that it was wicked. She looked at Chen Li as if she had just heard a joke. This photo was sent to her by Jian Qingli. It was in all the class chat groups at Tianyi High School. This photo was even sent to the parents chat group. Therefore, many people already knew about Li Chengqian and saw him as a joke. Chen Li looked at the photo and her face darkened. This wasn¡¯t just wicked, this was designed to ruin Li Chengqian¡¯s future. This was to make Li Chengqian the joke of Tianyi High School. ¡°Fortunately, my son¡¯s studies have improved¡­¡± Chen Li was terrified. If Li Chengqian was still a poor student and found out about the photo, he would definitely not have the face to continue coming to school. ¡°Chen Li, let me tell you. Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter if your results are bad. As long as you know your place, no one will say anything.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve asked Qingli, she said that your son bragged about making it to university in class.¡± ¡°With his grades, he can hardly make it to a technical college, let alone university. Isn¡¯t he making a fool of himself by bragging that he would make it to university¡­¡± Huang Jingjing¡¯s message was that your son asked for it by bragging despite his poor grades. ¡°My son will definitely get into university!¡± Chen Li said with absolute certainty. Li Chengqian could get full marks in all subjects. He could get into any university. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Huang Jingjing chuckled a fake smile and despised Chen Li even more. ¡°You¡¯re stubborn. He is about to be assigned to the Progressive class, and he is still thinking of getting into university? What a joke.¡± ¡°Your son is a joke, and so are you.¡± ¡­ As the seats were all given to the parents, the students were all gathered in the corridor outside the classroom. Liu Daqiang smiled mockingly as he walked to Li Chengqian¡¯s side. ¡°Li Chengqian, I have an especially funny joke here. Let me share it with you¡­¡± The originally noisy corridor instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian strangely, and several people couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. They all knew what Liu Daqiang was about to do. He was going to show Li Chengqian a photoshopped photo of himself! ¡°Do you guys think Liu Daqiang will be beaten up by the enraged Li Chengqian?¡± There were also people discussing softly. ¡°Liu Daqiang was really mean to make this photo. He has made Li Chengqian infamous.¡± ¡°If I were Li Chengqian, I would definitely not let Liu Daqiang off.¡± Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Li Chengqian calmly took out his phone and then opened the photo. Immediately, three lines of red and bold words appeared in front of him. ¡°What do you think? Is this joke funny?¡± Liu Daqiang laughed hysterically. His laughter was extremely proud and arrogant, and he laughed so hard he was bent over backwards. ¡°Li Chengqian, you are a joke!¡± ¡°Not only will you become a joke, but your parents will also become a joke because of you.¡± After saying this, Liu Daqiang laughed again. Li Chengqian closed the picture and looked at Liu Daqiang calmly. His eyes were steely cold. ¡°Liu Daqiang, is there any meaning in doing this?¡± ¡°Looking at a joke, of course it¡¯s very interesting!¡± Liu Daqiang disdainfully glanced at Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, bad news. The photo has been sent to all the class chat groups and parents chat groups¡­¡± Just then, Ding Ling walked over anxiously. ¡°Li Chengqian, look, you¡¯re famous! You¡¯ve become a famous joke, hahaha¡­¡± Liu Daqiang laughed proudly again. ¡°Liu Daqiang, has it occured to you that if my results turn out very good this time¡­ you will become the joke of Tianyi High School?¡± Li Chengqian gestured for Ding Ling to calm down a little and spoke with a cold tone. ¡°Hahahaha¡­ Your results are very good? This is another precious joke!¡± Liu Daqiang snorted with disdain. ¡°Liu Daqiang, have you thought about it? You are slandering and insulting me now, it¡¯s a crime! You¡¯ll go to jail.¡± Li Chengqian still spoke calmly. ¡°The Law on Public Security Administration Punishments stipulates that those who publicly insult others or make fabrications to slander others, shall be detained and fined according to provisions and administrative punishments, if such conduct does not constitute a crime.¡± ¡°Article 246 of the Criminal Law stipulates that intentionally fabricating and disseminating fictitious facts to the extent of degrading the personality of others and destroying their reputation are serious acts. Those who commit this crime will be sentenced to not more than three years of imprisonment, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights.¡± ¡°I heard from Ding Ling that all the class chat groups and parents chat groups have this photo. This already constitutes a criminal offence.¡± ¡°Liu Daqiang, you¡¯re probably going to jail!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze was cold and stern. Liu Daqiang, who was laughing non-stop and looking smug initially suddenly stopped laughing. He quickly used his phone to search, and then his expression instantly changed. Beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead at a visible speed. Because he realized that what Li Chengqian said was all true! Chapter 35 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Li Chengqian, do you still have any pride? We¡¯re students. If we have any conflicts, we usually resolve them internally. If you have the guts, don¡¯t use the law to argue.¡± Liu Daqiang said fiercely. ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re all classmates. How can we resort to legal means?¡± ¡°Moreover, isn¡¯t it normal to play a prank in school?¡± A student who had been following Liu Daqiang said. There was a trace of panic in his eyes because he was the one who photoshopped Li Chengqian¡¯s picture on Liu Daqiang¡¯s instructions. He even paid him some money. If this became a police case, he would be in trouble too. ¡°Teacher Wang is here. Everyone, be quiet.¡± At this moment, someone shouted. Teacher Wang Jianjia walked over briskly and entered the classroom under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes. After Teacher Wang Jianjia entered the classroom, Liu Daqiang came to Li Chengqian¡¯s side and said reluctantly, ¡°Li Chengqian, why don¡¯t we just let this matter go?¡± ¡°I apologize to you. I was wrong,¡± Liu Daqiang said without insincerely. He felt his face burning, especially when so many students were looking at him. He felt that apologizing to Li Chengqian now was admitting defeat. It was especially embarrassing and he felt humiliated. He even felt that he couldn¡¯t face anyone, that everyone was looking at him with disdain and mockery. He was now a joke in everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°Liu Daqiang, just you wait.¡± Li Chengqian would never accept such an insincere apology. Liu Daqiang suffered a huge blow to his self-esteem. He initially felt that Li Chengqian would know better than to reject his apology, and everyone would take a step back, and this matter would be resolved amicably. But Li Chengqian was actually not letting this slip! He rejected his goodwill. He felt that everyone was mocking him. In an instant, he felt a surge of rage in his heart. Liu Daqiang clenched his fists and glared at Li Chengqian. His voice was low and threatening, ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ve already apologized to you. Don¡¯t go overboard! When push comes to shove, both parties will suffer.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Li Chengqian sneered, not even bothering to look Liu Daqiang in the eye. Liu Daqiang was furious and felt utterly humiliated. ¡°Li Chengqian, just you wait and see.¡± After Liu Daqiang said those harsh words, he didn¡¯t dare to wait any longer. He ran straight to the classroom to pull his father out. ¡­ In the classroom, Wang Jianjia was giving her opening speech and also explaining some of the school¡¯s relevant policies. ¡°Parents, the results for this second mock exam are automatically generated by the grading system.¡± ¡°The grading system will announce the results of the second provincial joint mock exam at 9 o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°When the time comes, you can retrieve your results by entering your exam serial number.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll also get a results sheet here. Besides the results, there will also be the ranking for students in this class, our school, and the entire province. Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious¡­¡± ¡°We still have a few minutes to go. Let¡¯s talk about the how the children have been recently¡­¡± Wang Jianjia then went on to comment on every student¡¯s performance. ¡°¡­Jian Qingli is very smart and studious. Ever since her third year of high school, her grades have been improving¡­¡± Huang Jingjing was all smiles when she heard this. She was overjoyed. Then, she whispered to Chen Li, ¡°At our age, we no longer have any hope for ourselves. Our hopes are all on our children. If our children work hard, we will be proud. If our children don¡¯t live up to expectations, we will only be embarrassed as parents¡­¡± Before Huang Jingjing could finish speaking, Wang Jianjia was already talking about Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian has been very serious in class recently. He has improved a lot. Recently, when I asked him to answer questions in class, he was able to answer them¡­¡± Although in class, the questions she posed to Li Chengqian were all simple questions. But as long as Li Chengqian could answer, it was a huge improvement. Because in the past, Li Chengqian was not able to answer any of her questions. ¡°However, Student Li Chengqian¡¯s foundation is a little weak. He still needs to work hard¡­¡± Then, Wang Jianjia paused and glanced at Chen Li before continuing, ¡°Everyone should have heard about the Progressive class¡­¡± ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, after Li Chengqian¡¯s results are out, he will be assigned to the Progressive class. Parents, please be mentally prepared¡­¡± Actually, Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t want to talk about this matter in the classroom, but the school had instructed her to do so! She would be held responsible if anything goes wrong because she omitted to do so. Chen Li¡¯s face fell. Huang Jingjing revealed an exaggerated smile. ¡°Chen Li, what a pity. The teachers said that your son has been studying very seriously recently and has improved a lot. Do you think he can still maintain this momentum after being assigned to the Progressive class?¡± ¡°Sigh, this policy, for your son¡­¡± ¡°My son did very well in this exam. He won¡¯t be assigned to the Progressive class. I believe him¡­¡± Chen Li said in a low voice. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Huang Jingjing laughed disdainfully. ¡°Although there are some things that are hard to accept, whether you accept it or not, the fact remains. Chen Li, there¡¯s no need at all. The results will be out soon. What¡¯s the use of saying this now?¡± Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice was filled with pride as she looked at Chen Li smugly. ¡°Look, everyone¡¯s looking at you!¡± ¡°If you still have the same attitude as before, you¡¯ll really become a joke after the results are out.¡± The more Huang Jingjing spoke, the more smug she felt. To be honest, she came today to see Chen Li make a fool of herself. ¡°If I become a joke, so be it.¡± At this moment, Wang Jianjia stopped talking and started to operate the computer to log in to the exam system. She projected the exam system onto the podium. ¡°It¡¯s about time!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see the results together.¡± Wang Jianjia was also looking forward to it. Outside the classroom, by the windows and the door, the students held their breaths and quietly looked at the screen on the podium. Everyone was waiting for the results to be released. When the clock struck nine, the screen changed. Lines of thick text appeared on the screen. A results column, and a column on the results statistics automatically appeared on the big screen. [Second Provincial Joint Mock Exam Results Overview] [3 students who scored more than 700 marks, 2 students from Celestial Treasure First High School, and 1 student from Tianyi High School.] ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wang Jianjia almost thought that she had misread the results when she saw Tianyi High School¡¯s name. When she confirmed that it was really Tianyi High School, she almost jumped. Compared to the elite Heavenly Treasure First High School, Tianyi High School hadn¡¯t produced a top student with more than 700 marks for several years. ¡°Why didn¡¯t anyone mention it before? If our school has such an outstanding student, I should know about it! I know all the students in Grade 12 Class 1. There shouldn¡¯t be anyone who has the ability.¡± Wang Jianjia was especially puzzled. ¡°Then who is this genius who scored more than 700 marks?¡± While Wang Jianjia was full of doubts, the students of Tianyi High School were in an uproar. ¡°That¡¯s awesome. Someone in our school actually scored more than 700 marks.¡± ¡°Do you know who this superhero is? He¡¯s amazing!¡± Most of the students had admiration in their eyes. ¡°So powerful. If only I knew such a genius,¡± Jian Qingli thought to herself. ¡°Who is this person? Why is he so awesome? 700 marks. He¡¯s almost twice as good as me.¡± Liu Daqiang was extremely impressed. ¡°I will look up to him all my life. He scored more than 700 marks in such a difficult exam. He¡¯s a star student!¡± Bi Jialiang looked at the score on the screen and felt despair and admiration at the same time. ¡°It¡¯s Li Chengqian, it¡¯s him!¡± Ding Ling had a smile on her face. She had seen Li Chengqian¡¯s test papers and already had a gauge of Li Chengqian¡¯s results in her heart. ¡°Who is this person? I wonder which family he¡¯s from. He¡¯s too amazing. If only my daughter was as amazing as him.¡± Huang Jingjing looked at the results. Her words were sour and her eyes were filled with envy. ¡°It¡¯s my son! It¡¯s definitely my son!¡± When Chen Li saw the results, she was relieved and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face. Chapter 36 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lines of text kept flashing on the big screen. [600-700 marks, a total of 5,789 people, 1,254 people from Celestial Treasure First High School¡­ 13 people from Tianyi High School¡­] [500-600 marks, a total of 13,871 people, 320 people from Celestial Treasure First High School¡­ 58 people from Tianyi High School¡­] ¡­ ¡°Celestial Treasure First High School¡¯s results are too awesome¡­¡± The students looked at the data displayed on the screen with shock in their eyes. After the statistics were displayed, it could be seen that no student from Celestial Treasure First High School scored below 500 marks. Students who scored 500 to 600 marks were considered poor students in Celestial Treasure First High School, and were ranked outside of 1,000 within the school. In Tianyi High School, students who scored 500 to 600 marks could be ranked in the top 100 within the school. The difference was too great. ¡°Celestial Treasure First High School is indeed very impressive, but so what? Our school still has a powerful God of Studies who scored more than 700 marks!¡± Someone whispered with a hint of pride in his voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this exam system? It keeps flashing the exam data of the entire province. I want to know my exam results.¡± The data on the screen kept flashing, and some students cursed under their breaths. ¡°Soon, the results will be out soon. There¡¯s only one minute left!¡± A student looked at his watch and said excitedly. Before long, under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, the statistics on the screen disappeared. Then a blue connection appeared on the screen. [Tian Yi High School Grade 12 Class 5 Mock Exam Results Table] Under everyone¡¯s anxious gazes, Wang Jianjia quickly clicked on the connection. [Currently, there are too many downloads in the system. Please wait. The download is expected to be successful in two minutes¡­ You can also retrieve your exam results through your phone app¡­] ¡°Damn¡­¡± The system acting up at such a critical moment, everyone was especially frustrated. ¡°What on earth!¡± One of the parents cursed. ¡°Quickly use the public account to check. It¡¯ll be quick. There¡¯s no need to wait.¡± A parent tried and shared the situation. ¡°I¡¯ve found out. My daughter¡¯s score is 515 marks. She¡¯s ranked sixth in class and 57th in school. She¡¯s ranked 17,854th in the province.¡± After Huang Jingjing saw the results, she couldn¡¯t stop smiling. Then, she deliberately turned the screen of her phone out, dying to announce it to the whole world. ¡°Daughter, look, 515 marks!¡± Huang Jingjing shouted at Jian Qingli, who was outside the door, under the envious gazes of most people. ¡°515 marks, sixth place in the class! 57th place in the school!¡± A smile appeared on Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful face. Although she was not in the top 50 in the school as expected, her ranking had improved a lot compared to the last time. ¡°Chen Li, have you found out? I just found out that my daughter scored 515 marks and is ranked sixth in the class!¡± Huang Jingjing turned to Chen Li and said loudly again, in case Chen Li didn¡¯t hear her. ¡°Not bad.¡± Chen Li didn¡¯t turn around. After casually replying, she quickly opened her public account and entered Li Chengqian¡¯s exam number. Immediately, the results page appeared in front of Chen Li. Tianyi High School, Grade 12 Class 5, Li Chengqian, with a total score of 750 marks, ranked first in class, first in school, and first in the entire province! Although Chen Li was already mentally prepared, she still couldn¡¯t control her excitement when she saw the results. The moment she saw the score, an uncontrollable joy instantly struck Chen Li¡¯s heart. She covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would scream. But she couldn¡¯t stop her tears from flowing. ¡°Chengqian really scored full marks. Chengqian has really changed!¡± ¡°My son isn¡¯t a joke. He doesn¡¯t have to go to the Progressive class. He¡¯s the most talented. He¡¯s the real top student!¡± Chen Li couldn¡¯t control her tears of joy, and Huang Jingjing witnessed this scene. ¡°You refused to admit it just now. Now that you¡¯ve seen your son¡¯s results, you can¡¯t take it anymore, right?¡± Huang Jingjing had no sympathy for Chen Li at all. She felt that Chen Li deserved this. ¡°Aiya, Chen Li, don¡¯t cry. Whether you cry or not, your son¡¯s results won¡¯t change. What¡¯s the use of being sad?¡± ¡°Look, I¡¯ve already told you to be mentally prepared, but you didn¡¯t believe me. Now that you see the results, you believe me, right?¡± ¡°Come, come, come. Let me see how many marks your son scored to make you so sad.¡± As Huang Jingjing spoke, she looked at Chen Li¡¯s phone as if she was watching a joke. Outside the classroom, all the students fell silent when they saw Chen Li crying. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯ve really let your mother down. To make your mother so sad, you¡¯re simply not a man.¡± While Jian Qingli secretly despised Li Chengqian, she was also curious as to how many marks Li Chengqian had scored. The results must be so bad that Chen Li cried tears of fury when she saw it! ¡°Li Chengqian, if your results have made your mother break down and cry from anger, it probably won¡¯t be higher than the results of the last mock exam.¡± Liu Daqiang smiled especially happily because he was just short of 496 marks. He was ranked 13th in class, which was a very good result for him. When Li Chengqian saw Chen Li crying, he pushed open the classroom door and walked in. He looked at Chen Li worriedly. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?¡± As he spoke, he took out a piece of tissue and carefully wiped Chen Li¡¯s tears. ¡°What else can it be? Chen Li cried when she saw your results just now. She was so angry at your score that she cried,¡± Huang Jingjing said mockingly. ¡°Perhaps Chen Li always thought that you did very well in the exam and was agitated by your results, so she cried.¡± Huang Jingjing looked at Li Chengqian disdainfully and shook her head. When the other parents saw this scene, they didn¡¯t laugh at Chen Li. They only gave her sympathetic looks. ¡°It¡¯s so pitiful to have such a son.¡± At this age, most people would do the most important thing to nurture their children. Everyone wants their children to be successful and to lead a good life in the future, so that they would be carefree and wealthy for the rest of their lives. Education is the key to success! They also felt that Chen Li broke down and cried after seeing the results because Li Chengqian¡¯s exam results were too bad. ¡°Chen Li, don¡¯t be sad. Let me see how many marks your son scored to make you so sad.¡± After Huang Jingjing sneered, she watched as Chen Li gradually calmed down. She changed the topic and brought up Li Chengqian¡¯s results again. She had already asked Chen Li once just now, but Chen Li hadn¡¯t said anything. Just as she wanted to take a look herself, Li Chengqian walked over and happened to block the phone screen. She could vaguely see that it was 150 marks. 150 marks would not only make him last in Tianyi High School, but also the last in the entire province! She deliberately brought up this topic now so that everyone would pay attention to this problem and make Chen Li and Li Chengqian a joke. Due to what Huang Jingjing said, the other parents were also especially curious. How many marks did Li Chengqian actually score to make Chen Li so upset? Even the students outside were whispering, trying to guess Li Chengqian¡¯s final results. At this moment, a sharp-eyed student saw the download notification on the big screen and hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher, we¡¯ve successfully downloaded our class¡¯s results¡­¡± Chapter 37 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When one was in school, regardless of whether one¡¯s results were good or bad, the moment one looked forward to the most was the moment when the results were announced. Therefore, after seeing that the results had been downloaded, a student couldn¡¯t help but urge, ¡°Teacher, quickly take a look at our class¡¯s results.¡± ¡°Look at everyone¡¯s ranking!¡± At this moment, be it the students or the parents, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the big screen. In fact, Wang Jianjia was also very excited. She walked to the podium and quickly clicked on the results list. A form appeared on the big screen. However, the form was arranged according to the serial number by default, not according to the grades. And Li Chengqian¡¯s serial number was at the back, so his name wasn¡¯t on this form. Most people were concerned about their grades and their friends¡¯ or their children¡¯s. But there were a few people who had been paying attention to Li Chengqian¡¯s results. Because Huang Jingjing and her daughter had never obtained Li Chengqian¡¯s exact score, they paid special attention to Li Chengqian¡¯s score. Liu Daqiang was also paying close attention to Li Chengqian¡¯s score. Li Chengqian rebuked him earlier on, so he was waiting to see Li Chengqian make a fool of himself. Another person was Teacher Wang Jianjia. She was also very concerned about Li Chengqian¡¯s results. She also hoped that Li Chengqian could get a good result and not be assigned to the Progressive class. If he went to the Progressive class, Li Chengqian would most likely be ruined. Recently, Li Chengqian¡¯s performance was especially good. He was serious in class. She really didn¡¯t want Li Chengqian to be destroyed. ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s sort the list according to the results. Let¡¯s see who is in the first place,¡± Liu Daqiang said loudly. Although what he said was to see who the first place was, in reality, he wanted everyone to know that Li Chengqian was in the last place. Wang Jianjia didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she started working on it quickly. Selection¡­ sort in descending order. Instantly, Li Chengqian¡¯s name appeared on the first row of the form. Behind his name, the score showed 750 marks. He was ranked first in class! First in the school! First in the entire province! The originally noisy classroom seemed to have been muted and instantly fell silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme shock. Li Chengqian¡¯s classmates were shocked beyond words. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with eyes filled with disbelief and shock. Chen Li and Li Chengqian had a matter-of-fact expression. Chen Li had just checked Li Chengqian¡¯s results. As for Li Chengqian, the moment the test paper was circulated, he knew that he had scored full marks this time. Huang Jingjing¡¯s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She looked at Chen Li in disbelief. Jian Qingli was the same. Her jaw almost dropped to the ground as she looked at Li Chengqian with eyes filled with shock and a trace of regret. ¡°How is this possible, how is this possible!¡± After Liu Daqiang saw Li Chengqian¡¯s score, he rubbed his eyes hard, completely unable to believe that Li Chengqian could come in first. ¡°Is this Li Chengqian the one in the photo? The one who slept in class and scored 280 marks in the last exam?¡± A parent broke the silence, his voice carrying extreme disbelief as he opened his mouth to ask. ¡°Impossible. Li Chengqian scored 280 points the last time. It¡¯s impossible for him to score 750 marks this time!¡± ¡°There must be a mistake somewhere.¡± As the first parent spoke, the other parents also voiced their doubts. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that the picture in the parent group is a prank? Or is it just a joke?¡± Another parent expressed another opinion. Instantly, many parents nodded in agreement. ¡°Teacher, could it be that you made a mistake when you were sorting the results?¡± Liu Daqiang said. Even if you put a gun to his head, he would refuse to believe that Li Chengqian could score 750 marks. It was really ridiculous. ¡°That¡¯s right. Teacher, check carefully and see if there¡¯s a mistake,¡± Huang Jingjing echoed. Wang Jianjia canceled the screening mode and restored the form to the time when it was just downloaded. The names on the form were arranged according to the serial numbers again. Li Chengqian¡¯s name also disappeared from the first place. Liu Daqiang took a deep breath. When he saw that Teacher Wang Jianjia was about to sort the data again, he quickly opened his mouth to stop her, ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t we just do this? Let¡¯s take a look at Li Chengqian¡¯s results first.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Wang Jianjia replied. Her palms were sweating as she pressed the down button. Actually, when she saw that Li Chengqian came in first and scored 750 marks, her first reaction was also disbelief! Therefore, she also wanted to use another method to verify Li Chengqian¡¯s results. Everyone held their breath and focused on the screen. Then, the information in the form was exactly the same as before. Li Chengqian, 750 marks, first in class, first in school, first in the entire province! Wang Jianjia looked at the score in extreme shock, ¡°How did Li Chengqian do it, how is this possible!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is impressive, awesome! Could it be that he¡¯s been pretending all along?¡± The students were all dumbfounded, shocked by the results. ¡°Amazing! Li Chengqian got first place in the entire province! Too amazing!¡± A parent couldn¡¯t help but praise. Huang Jingjing was originally sitting there haughtily, but after seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s results, she felt a little uneasy. ¡°How is this possible? How is this possible?!¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. She had always felt that Li Chengqian was the biggest loser. He was not from the same universe as her, and thus she had never really bothered with him. As such, the choice between Bi Jialiang and Li Chengqian was also obvious. She chose Bi Jialiang without hesitation. Actually, the moment she made her choice, she knew that she would be breaking Li Chengqian¡¯s heart. But she didn¡¯t care. Because she had always felt that she and Li Chengqian were not the same kind of people. She had a bright future, and Li Chengqian was a lousy student who couldn¡¯t even get into university. When Liu Daqiang saw Li Chengqian¡¯s results, his face was ashen, ¡°How could this be, how could this be¡­¡± ¡°Oh no, Li Chengqian did so well in the exam. What I discussed with my father just now is no longer feasible.¡± Earlier on, he had discussed with his father, Liu Wendao, to ask the school¡¯s dean to counsel Li Chengqian on their behalf. What were the students and parents most afraid of? Of course, it was the teachers! Especially when their children¡¯s results were very bad, they were even more afraid of teachers. Schools were also afraid. Schools were afraid of good students! That was because good students carried the school¡¯s reputation. ¡°Li Chengqian did so well in this exam. Right now, the school needs him more than he needs them. The school can¡¯t possibly make Li Chengqian unhappy because of me.¡± When Liu Daqiang thought of this, his face instantly turned pale. When Liu Wendao saw the results on the screen, he figured it out before Liu Daqiang did. With a big belly and a calm expression, Liu Wendao, who was finely dressed, suddenly looked serious. ¡°This is bad. We¡¯re in big trouble this time. I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll have to bleed a little to settle this.¡± Liu Wendao is in construction. He had money! It doesn¡¯t hurt him one bit to spend some money. However, he didn¡¯t want to spend a single cent on lowly people like the migrant workers or on someone like Li Chengqian. ¡°Forget it. For the sake of our son, we¡¯ll just have to pay a little. With Li Chengqian¡¯s family background, 100,000 yuan is enough.¡± As long as it was something that could be settled with money, it wasn¡¯t a problem. He believed that Li Chengqian¡¯s attitude would change if he put some money in front of him. Chapter 38 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Who are Li Chengqian¡¯s parents? Please step out.¡± Outside the classroom, a serious voice came in. ¡°Mother of Li Chengqian, Director Chen from the Education Bureau is calling you. Please step out.¡± Wang Jianjia looked out and realized that it was the dean, Chen Qingquan. She exclaimed in her heart, ¡°The school works real fast. I just found out about Li Chengqian¡¯s results and they had already arranged for the dean to come and receive Li Chengqian¡¯s mother.¡± ¡°A student who scored full marks deserves this treatment.¡± Even if she were to take the exam now, she would definitely not be able to get full marks. ¡°Li Chengqian, you should go with your mother too.¡± Seeing Chen Li¡¯s timid look, Wang Jianjia hurriedly suggested this to give her some support. ¡°Okay!¡± Li Chengqian nodded and helped his mother out. In the classroom, after seeing Chen Qingquan appear, Liu Daqiang¡¯s father, Liu Wendao, nodded gently at Chen Qingquan. The two of them greeted each other discreetly. Seeing Chen Li¡¯s timid and submissive body language, Liu Wendao couldn¡¯t help but feel a glimmer of hope. He relaxed slightly. ¡°One look and I can tell that Li Chengqian¡¯s mother is an ordinary person who hasn¡¯t seen the world. If Director Chen intimidates her a little, things might be settled.¡± ¡°Come, let¡¯s talk in my office.¡± Chen Qingquan didn¡¯t say anything else and just led the way with a serious expression. He didn¡¯t pay attention to the results of the second mock exam. Instead, he bided his time to come to Grade 12 Class 5. He reckoned that Li Chengqian had already received his results. And he already knew his ranking in school. In addition, he also understood that according to the new school policy, Li Chengqian would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class after this exam. ¡°Mrs Li, I heard someone mention the conflict between your son and Liu Daqiang.¡± Chen Qingquan¡¯s aura was especially strong. He pressed his hands on the edge of the table and leaned forward. This could create a strong sense of oppression. Most people would crumble under such coercion. ¡°I have now understood the situation, it was just a prank.¡± ¡°Mrs Li, I think it is fate that Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang became classmates. There¡¯s no need to harp on such a small matter. Be magnanimous. There¡¯s no need to be so ruthless. I think we should just let the matter rest¡± ¡°If you really take this matter all the way, while you may feel good to have vented your frustration¡­¡± ¡°Liu Daqiang will also be destroyed.¡± ¡°Because of this incident, Li Chengqian won¡¯t have any friends in the school.¡± ¡°Everyone will remember this matter even after leaving school. In the future, it will be hard for him to ask his classmates for any favors.¡± Chen Qingquan patiently explained the pros and cons. Seeing that Chen Li and Li Chengqian were silent, his tone became even stricter, and his words took on a threatening tone. ¡°Moreover, I heard that Liu Daqiang¡¯s father is in construction. He¡¯s an upstart and is especially wealthy. If you really destroy his son, he definitely won¡¯t let the matter rest.¡± Seeing the panic on Chen Li¡¯s face, Chen Qingquan changed the topic. ¡°Mrs Li, how about this? I¡¯ll be a mediator for you and Liu Daqiang.¡± ¡°Liu Daqiang has indeed gone overboard this time. I¡¯ll get his family to compensate you with 10,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, you will then sign a memorandum of understanding to Liu Daqiang.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± At this point, Chen Qingquan was 90% confident that Chen Li would agree. Just as Chen Li was about to speak, Li Chengqian stepped forward and shielded his mother behind him. His voice was neither servile nor overbearing as he looked straight at Chen Qingquan. ¡°Director Chen, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°I called the police five minutes ago!¡± Li Chengqian opened the call record on his phone and showed it to Chen Qingquan. ¡°What?¡± Chen Qingquan was so anxious he almost fell off his chair. He thought that Li Chengqian was just making empty threats and didn¡¯t think that he would actually call the police! ¡°Li Chengqian, how can you take your own initiative to call the police! The school rule is that you have to report to your form teacher if you call the police. Have you reported it to the form teacher?¡± Chen Qingquan started reprimanding him in a serious tone. Students were young and impulsive. In most schools, conflicts between students were very normal. As long as it was not a particularly serious situation, the school would deal with it first. ¡°Li Chengqian, you have already violated the school rules by calling the police on your own. According to the school rules, you can be expelled.¡± Chen Qingquan started pacing the room, thinking about how to deal with the matter. ¡°It¡¯s fine even if you have called the police. When they come later, don¡¯t say anything. I¡¯ll speak for the school.¡± ¡°I can let bygones be bygones and not hold you responsible for violating the school rules.¡± Chen Qingquan¡¯s tone was filled with displeasure, and he became even stricter. In his eyes, Li Chengqian was like shit stirrer and all he does is cause trouble. ¡°If you spout nonsense, I¡¯ll definitely deal with you according to the school rules.¡± ¡°Dean Chen, please think of a way¡­¡± Chen Li immediately panicked and said agitatedly. ¡°Mom, wait a moment. Let me handle this!¡± Li Chengqian pulled Chen Li back and looked straight at Chen Qingquan. ¡°Director Chen, I don¡¯t know what your relationship with Liu Daqiang is, and I don¡¯t care.¡± ¡°What I want to tell you is that I¡¯m going to tell the police everything that happened today.¡± ¡°Since Liu Daqiang dared to do such a thing, he must pay the price.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll say the same thing no matter who comes to talk to me!¡± Li Chengqian glanced at Chen Qingquan coldly. ¡°Dean Chen, if you want to expel me, feel free to¡­¡± ¡­ At the entrance of Grade 12 Class 5, Principal Wang Lingbo glanced at the classroom but didn¡¯t see Li Chengqian. After knowing that Li Chengqian was the number one in the entire province, and the only one with full marks, Wang Lingbo couldn¡¯t wait to come over from the office to see Li Chengqian in person. ¡°Teacher Wang, where did he go?¡± ¡°Principal Wang, you¡¯re here too? Li Chengqian and his mother were invited to the office by Dean Chen. Wasn¡¯t it arranged by you?¡± Wang Jianjia asked curiously. ¡°No.¡± After Wang Lingbo said that, he quickly walked towards Chen Qingquan¡¯s office. In the classroom, Liu Wendao¡¯s expression turned serious. He first sent a message to Chen Qingquan, then, worried, he lowered his head and called Chen Qingquan. ¡°Please don¡¯t let Principal Wang find out,¡± Liu Wendao said anxiously. ¡­ ¡°Li Chengqian, what do you mean?¡± Chen Qingquan¡¯s face turned ashen as he glared at Li Chengqian. This was the first time he had encountered such a tough student who didn¡¯t capitulate to him as the dean. ¡°Li Chengqian, do you really think I can¡¯t expel you?¡± In Chen Qingquan¡¯s eyes, Li Chengqian was still that poor student who could only score 280 marks in the exam. This time, he would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. Other than lowering the average score of Tianyi High School¡¯s third-year students, he was utter trash. Expelling Li Chengqian was a piece of cake! No one would speak up for this trash, and no one would intercede for him. He only needed to write a report to the principal¡¯s office and he could easily expel Li Chengqian. Outside the door, Wang Lingbo was originally happy, but after hearing this, his face fell and his eyes turned murderous. Chapter 39 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wang Lingbo had been the principal of Tianyi High School for seven years. In the past few years, he had been desperately trying to improve the school, and he had aspirations to achieve results. However, it hadn¡¯t been fruitful. Tianyi High School was still ranked in the middle and lower ranks in the entire province. Of the 306 high schools in the province, Tianyi High School was only ranked around 100th. This time, Tianyi High School produced Li Chengqian, who got first place in the entire province, and he even got a perfect score of 750 marks. For this alone, Tianyi High School would become famous throughout the province. All the schools would remember Tianyi High School because of this. As long as Li Chengqian excelled in the official university entrance examination and scored full marks, Tianyi High School¡¯s ranking would rise by at least 30 places! He could also use this opportunity to advance his career. Therefore, when he heard Chen Qingquan say that he wanted to expel Li Chengqian, he hit the roof. Expelling Li Chengqian was in effect destroying Wang Lingbo¡¯s career path. ¡°Principal, why are you here?¡± Seeing Wang Lingbo walk in, a trace of panic flashed across Chen Qingquan¡¯s eyes. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t come, I wouldn¡¯t even know that you fired Li Chengqian.¡± Wang Lingbo didn¡¯t hide his anger. His voice was trembling. ¡°Director Chen, do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± Wang Lingbo¡¯s voice was terrifyingly cold. He was questioning Chen Qingquan. Before Chen Qingquan could explain, he spoke again. ¡°Li Chengqian scored full marks for the second mock exam. He came in first in the entire province!¡± ¡°Chen Qingquan, are you going to expel the number one in the province?¡± Wang Lingbo roared, not giving Chen Qingquan any face. ¡°What? Number one in the province? Full marks! How is this possible¡­¡± Chen Qingquan was instantly stunned as he looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. Right on the heels of that, he understood why Wang Lingbo was so angry! Then, he realized the seriousness of the matter. On a micro level, he was abusing his power! On a macro level, he was undermining Tianyi High School and Wang Lingbo. His face went pale. The arrogance that he displayed to Li Chengqian and his mother earlier instantly disappeared without a trace. There was an embarrassed smile on his face as he hurriedly found an excuse for himself. ¡°Principal, it¡¯s a misunderstanding. I was just saying. How could I possibly expel Li Chengqian?¡± ¡°He privately called the police and violated the school rules. I just wanted him to realize the seriousness of the matter.¡± With a change of tone, he pushed all the blame onto Li Chengqian. ¡°Director Chen, I know what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°You are suspended for two months! Reflect on yourself!¡± Wang Lingbo said coldly. Chen Qingquan¡¯s face fell. He cursed Liu Wendao in his heart. ¡°Liu Wendao, that bastard, is so immoral. He actually lied to me and said that Li Chengqian only scored 280 points in the last exam, causing me to be punished.¡± If he had known that Li Chengqian scored 750 points in this exam, he would absolutely not use such an attitude and tone to speak to Li Chengqian. After Wang Lingbo finished scolding, the expression on his face became more approachable. He turned to look at Li Chengqian and Chen Li and said apologetically, ¡°You should be Li Chengqian¡¯s parents? I¡¯m really sorry that something like this happened.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, please don¡¯t take this matter to heart.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll handle this matter properly and give you a satisfactory solution!¡± ¡°Parents, please don¡¯t worry. Li Chengqian will definitely not be bullied in our school.¡± What did 750 marks mean? It meant that Li Chengqian could apply to any school and he would be most warmly welcomed. To any school, Li Chengqian was a treasure! ¡°Principal, I believe you. Thank you.¡± Chen Li was flattered. In the past, because of Li Chengqian¡¯s results, no teacher had ever been so polite to her, let alone the principal. She was not used to this change. Chen Qingquan stood at the side. After seeing this scene, his anger towards Liu Wendao grew. Wang Lingbo didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with him. When he was with Li Chengqian, he was all smiles and cautious. This made him extremely uncomfortable. ¡°It¡¯s all because of that bastard Liu Wendao that things turned out this way.¡± ¡°Come, let¡¯s talk in my office. I would like to understand how you raised such an outstanding child as Li Chengqian?¡± ¡°My child is also in high school now. His results are also giving me a headache¡­ I have to learn from you.¡± Wang Lingbo was all smiles as he invited Chen Li to step forward. ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± Chen Li looked at Li Chengqian with a pleading gaze. Although being respected by the principal made her feel especially comfortable and proud, it was hard to suddenly get used to this. ¡°Student Li Chengqian, you see¡­¡± Wang Lingbo looked at Li Chengqian, who hadn¡¯t said anything. ¡°Principal, I want to go back to the classroom to thank those people who helped me.¡± Li Chengqian smiled as he spoke, a cold light flashing in his eyes. When Liu Daqiang sent him the photoshopped photo, he said, ¡°Let me show you a joke.¡± Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t forgotten. He was also prepared to let everyone see this joke now. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll go with you!¡± When Wang Lingbo heard Li Chengqian¡¯s request, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and then spoke with a smile. Very quickly, the few of them arrived at the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5. Wang Lingbo waved at Teacher Wang Jianjia, ¡°Teacher Wang, Li Chengqian would like to say a few words of thanks.¡± Wang Jianjia naturally wouldn¡¯t object. ¡°Dear parents and classmates, Li Chengqian would like to say a few words to everyone. Please welcome him.¡± Li Chengqian did not have any stage fright. After thanking the teacher, he walked up to the podium. ¡°I know. Everyone is curious about why I could go from 280 marks to 750 marks!¡± With just one sentence, he attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°First of all, I want to thank my parents. No matter what my results are, they haven¡¯t given up on me. They¡¯ve always supported me. All my achievements are due to my parents. All my glory and results belong to them.¡± Li Chengqian bowed deeply to Chen Li. Chen Li shed tears again, but she smiled at Li Chengqian. For the first time, her face was filled with pride. All the parents looked at Chen Li with envy. How they wished that the person standing on the podium was their child. ¡°Secondly, I want to thank Teacher Wang. Previously, my results were always the worst in the class, but when everyone gave up on me, Teacher Wang kept encouraging me not to give up.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned to Teacher Wang Jianjia and sincerely bowed. ¡°I didn¡¯t help you much,¡± Wang Jianjia said somewhat embarrassedly. She just kept encouraging Li Chengqian not to give up, and in terms of learning, she really didn¡¯t help him much. ¡°Gratitude is a person¡¯s most important character. Li Chengqian is a grateful person.¡± Wang Lingbo nodded with admiration on his face. There were actually many students with good results these days, but there were not many who knew how to be grateful. ¡°Again, I want to thank the people who looked down on me. They were the ones who spurred me to improve and to achieve my current results¡­¡± ¡°Using this parent-teacher meeting as an opportunity, with the principal and teacher as witnesses, I want to especially thank a person. He is Liu Daqiang¡­¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes, he logged into WeChat on the computer in front of him. After finding Liu Daqiang, he opened the message Liu Daqiang had sent him and displayed it in front of everyone. Instantly, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Chapter 40 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Immediately, Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang¡¯s chat logs appeared on the big screen. There were only three paragraphs in the chat history. Liu Daqiang sent a text to Li Chengqian. The first paragraph was a sentence, ¡°Li Chengqian, let me show you a joke.¡± The second message was a picture. This picture had already been spread to all the class chat groups and parents chat groups in Tianyi High School. On the picture were words that were humiliating to Li Chengqian. [I, Li Chengqian, scored 280 marks in the mock exam. Although I sleep in class, ¡°However, I am confident that I can get into university. The third paragraph was also a sentence, ¡°Li Chengqian, you are a joke!¡± Whether it was in the classroom or outside, everyone fell silent. Especially when Liu Daqiang saw the chat records and pictures on the big screen, he felt extremely ashamed and wished he could find a hole to hide in. At that time, he had used the photos and words to humiliate Li Chengqian. Now, when Li Chengqian showed the chat records, he felt that he was the joke. The biggest joke of all. ¡°Liu Daqiang is too much!¡± Wang Jianjia was busy and hadn¡¯t had a chance to look at her phone. This was the first time she saw this photo. When she saw the photo, she was shocked. ¡°Fortunately, Li Chengqian¡¯s results are very good. Otherwise, this photo would have destroyed him.¡± Wang Jianjia was secretly shocked. She even looked at Liu Daqiang in shock. This photo was simply vicious. Wang Lingbo didn¡¯t say anything, but his brows were tightly knitted. If Wang Jianjia could see that this photo was vicious, so could he. ¡°Hehe¡­ Liu Daqiang is thoroughly humiliated this time,¡± a classmate whispered. There were also suppressed laughter. After a short period of silence, a parent in the classroom also spoke, ¡°I remember that this student only scored 450 marks in this exam. What right does he have to laugh at Li Chengqian, who scored 750 marks?¡± ¡°He said that Li Chengqian was a joke. I think he himself is a joke.¡± ¡°A student who doesn¡¯t study hard and uses such crooked methods to mock others. No wonder his results are not good.¡± The parents¡¯ voices in the classroom reached Liu Daqiang¡¯s ears, making him blush. He was extremely embarrassed and angry. He felt venom in his heart. He grew up in a wealthy family. His parents doted on him very much. He had never been so embarrassed, nor had he ever suffered such a huge blow. So, while Liu Daqiang was embarrassed, he was also infuriated. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Li Chengqian, wishing he could tear Li Chengqian apart. ¡°Li Chengqian, just you wait. You have put me on a spot, I will make you pay the price.¡± His heart was full of hatred, and he swore that he would teach Li Chengqian a lesson. He was still unrepentant. At this time, Li Chengqian spoke again. ¡°This is a recent message from our classmate, Liu Daqiang.¡± ¡°He said I was a joke.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m a joke for the time being, but I know that those who call me a joke are already a joke.¡± Because of these words, Liu Daqiang was shooting daggers with his eyes. ¡°Li Chengqian, just you wait. I will definitely make you pay the price. I will definitely find someone to teach you a good lesson, make you beg and ask me for mercy.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you everyone. I¡¯ve said everything I wanted to say!¡± Li Chengqian walked down from the podium with a relaxed expression. At this moment, two police officers with sharp eyes walked over. ¡°Is there a student named Li Chengqian in your class?¡± After the two of them showed their IDs, they asked the students standing around. ¡°Hello, police officers. I am the principal of the school. May I ask why you are looking for Li Chengqian?¡± Lin Lingbo quickly walked over and asked politely. ¡®¡±A student of your school, Li Chengqian, called the police and said that someone was spreading rumors and slandering him. We have come to investigate.¡± Among the two, the slightly older one was called Wang Limin. He quickly explained the situation. ¡°By the way, Li Chengqian called the police and said that the suspect is Liu Daqiang from the same class. See if he¡¯s here? If he is, call him out and let us investigate the situation,¡± Wang Limin continued. Liu Daqiang who was standing close by, was still plotting his revenge on Li Chengqian. When he saw the two police officers coming over, especially when he heard Wang Limin¡¯s question, he was scared out of his wits and broke out in cold sweat. Liu Daqiang almost burst into tears. ¡°Li Chengqian actually called the police. How could he do this?¡± In the classroom, hearing Wang Limin mention Liu Daqiang¡¯s name, the chubby Liu Wendao, who had a big belly, looked upset. Then, he quickly stood up and walked over to Wang Limin with an apologetic smile. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on the two police officers. Come, have a cigarette first.¡± He subserviently offered cigarettes to the police officers. ¡°Thank you. We don¡¯t smoke. Principal Wang, who is he?¡± Wang Limin refused without hesitation and looked at Wang Lingbo. Wang Lingbo smiled awkwardly. He didn¡¯t know who this person was, but since he came from Grade 12 Class 5, Wang Jianjia definitely knew. He turned and looked at Wang Jianjia. Wang Jianjia was about to speak when Liu Wendao spoke first with an apologetic smile. ¡°Hello, officers. I¡¯m Liu Daqiang¡¯s parent.¡± As Liu Wendao spoke, he secretly regretted in his heart, ¡°If I had known that Li Chengqian was so ruthless, I would have dealt with the issue sooner when Daqiang came to me. He had wanted to sit on the issue and ask the dean to help suppress it. At the appropriate juncture, he would appear and give him some money, and his matter would be over. In the past, when he owed the wages of the migrant workers, this was how he dealt with them. He would simply use delay tactics! When it was time for the new year, because the migrant workers had to go home, a small portion of the wages would be enough to send the workers packing. They would even be grateful to him when they left! He felt that he could deal with Li Chengqian using the same tactic. Unfortunately, he was wrong on two counts. Firstly, Li Chengqian was not a poor student that he could casually send packing. Instead, he scored full marks and was the number one in the entire province! Secondly, Li Chengqian was much more decisive than he had imagined. He really called the police when he said he would. ¡°That¡¯s good too. I was just about to inform you to come. It¡¯s best if you¡¯re here. Call your child and wait by the side!¡± Wang Limin¡¯s tone instantly became stern. Li Chengqian also stepped forward and identified himself. The principal is also here. Tell us what happened.¡± Wang Limin looked at Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang and began to ask questions. Liu Daqiang was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled. He couldn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Officer, let me explain¡­¡± Liu Wendao didn¡¯t dare to admit what Li Chengqian said. He immediately opened his mouth, wanting to continue the conversation. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to speak. Just stand aside quietly and watch.¡± Wang Limin¡¯s voice was extremely stern. ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­¡± Li Chengqian told him everything that happened in detail, then showed the photo on his phone to the police. Because the facts were clear, it was easy to obtain evidence. Not long after, Liu Daqiang was taken away with a terrified expression. Liu Wendao glared at Li Chengqian and said, ¡°Just you wait.¡± Then, he left in a hurry. After Liu Daqiang was brought away, the way everyone looked at Li Chengqian became different. Other than envy, there was also reverence. After the parent-teacher meeting ended, Li Chengqian and his mother walked out of the classroom, preparing to go home. ¡°Chen Li, wait. Let¡¯s go together.¡± There was no longer any arrogance in Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice. ¡°Li Chengqian, I want to have a good talk with you.¡± Jian Qingli also walked out. She whispered to Li Chengqian in a tone she had never used before. Chapter 41 - 41 A Heart-to-heart Talk on the Way Home 41 A Heart-to-heart Talk on the Way Home After walking out of the school gate, Li Chengqian and the others didn¡¯t leave. Instead, they stood at the school gate and waited for Ding Ling¡¯s family to come out. While they were waiting, for the first time ever, Huang Jingjing didn¡¯t complain about anything. Her tone was especially gentle as she kept finding new topics to chat with Chen Li. She tried all means to indirectly find out about Li Chengqian¡¯s studies, and looked at Chen Li with undisguised envy. Not far away, Jian Qingli was also talking to Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, your results are clearly so good. Why did you hide it from me?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice carried a trace of resentment as Li Chengqian shouldn¡¯t have kept it from her. ¡°Jian Qingli, I didn¡¯t hide anything. I¡¯ve said it before, but you just didn¡¯t believe me.¡± Li Chengqian was especially calm. He spoke to Jian Qingli the same way he spoke to any other classmates. Jian Qingli frowned. ¡°If you had told me a few more times and explained yourself, I would have believed what you said.¡± ¡°We¡¯re just classmates. There¡¯s no need for that! Whether you believe me or not is actually not that important.¡± Li Chengqian glanced at Jian Qingli indifferently, his voice still calm. When he was just reborn, to be honest, Li Chengqian still harbored some hopes about Jian Qingli. However, everything that happened later completely shattered his fantasy about her. He no longer had any feelings for Jian Qingli. When Jian Qingli heard this, she felt especially sad and was on the verge of crying. She suppressed the urge to cry and had a bitter smile on her face. She changed the topic and said, ¡°Li Chengqian, with your results, you can get into any faculty. Why did you want to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± ¡°No reason in particular. When I heard about it, I just felt like participating.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and didn¡¯t answer Jian Qingli¡¯s question directly. In fact, when he had just been reborn, he still didn¡¯t know the functions of the Master of All Professions game. In addition, he knew that software is the future, thus he wanted to try his hands in any software competition. While he was at it, he also wanted to bring Jian Qingli and Ding Ling, his old classmates from his previous life, to Divine Dragon University with him. Unfortunately, he invited Jian Qingli to form a team with him twice. However, Jian Qingli didn¡¯t believe him at all and chose to team up with Bi Jialiang. Because of this, Jian Qingli even said, ¡°What a joke!¡± Therefore, there was no point in saying this now. Jian Qingli could also tell that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to talk about this any further, so she didn¡¯t pursue the matter. Then, she nonchalantly asked the question she wanted to ask the most. ¡°Then how do you think you¡¯ll do in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?¡± After Li Chengqian¡¯s results were announced, she began to recall her past conversations with him. Then, she was surprised to find that everything Li Chengqian said was true. He had not bragged once. He said that he would score full marks in the second mock exam, and he really did. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be an issue to come in the top 50 in the country.¡± Li Chengqian smiled confidently. He had already understood the basics of programming and hardware. Now, he was writing the operating system. He didn¡¯t dare to say that he would get first place in this competition, but he was definitely confident in getting into the top three. Jian Qingli¡¯s first reaction was disbelief because this was too ridiculous. However, when she thought of how Li Chengqian had scored full marks for the second mock exam, she had no choice but to believe him. After all, a perfect score was more ridiculous than any other situation. Jian Qingli¡¯s mind raced. After thinking carefully, she opened her mouth seemingly very casually, but her eyes were extremely nervous. ¡°Li Chengqian, I recall that your team is still short of one person. Why don¡¯t I join your team?¡± Just then, Ding Ling saw Li Chengqian standing by the roadside. She ran over excitedly and looked at him with admiration. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re awesome!¡± Her voice was filled with excitement and unconcealed pride. If they weren¡¯t at the school gate and their parents weren¡¯t here, she would want to give Li Chengqian a big hug. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m so happy today.¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang from our class has always looked down on you. He¡¯s been bad mouthing you everywhere, saying that your results are bad, that you¡¯re bragging all day long, that you¡¯re a beginner in programming and can¡¯t even pass the preliminary round.¡± ¡°After he signed up for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, he became even more arrogant. He is so annoying.¡± ¡°After your results were announced today, his face changed immediately. He looked terribly upset.¡± ¡°When he realized that I was looking at him, he was too embarrassed to look at me.¡± ¡°In the future, he might take a detour when he sees you.¡± Ding Ling was especially happy as she chattered to Li Chengqian about the news. ¡°Ah, Jian Qingli, you¡¯re here too?¡± After saying that, Ding Ling saw Jian Qingli and immediately felt a little awkward. After all, Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang were very close. They looked like a couple. It was indeed very awkward to speak ill of someone in front of his girlfriend. ¡°Yes!¡± Jian Qingli looked very upset. Ding Ling had said something about Bi Jialiang in front of her just now. It was as if she had deliberately said it to humiliate her. Jian Qingli suppressed her anger and went back to the topic again. ¡°Ding Ling, I was just telling Li Chengqian that your team for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is still short of one person. Why don¡¯t I join your team? Do you welcome me?¡± Jian Qingli said with a smile. She was prepared to use Ding Ling as a leverage point. She felt that Ding Ling was the type who didn¡¯t know how to say no, and she wouldn¡¯t be able to turn her down. As expected, Ding Ling was stunned when she heard Jian Qingli¡¯s request. She opened her mouth, wanting to reject her, but the words wouldn¡¯t come. However, she was extremely unwilling to agree to Jian Qingli¡¯s request. Firstly, Li Chengqian used to like Jian Qingli. What if their relationship was rekindled after they got together as a team? Secondly, before this, Jian Qingli had always looked down on Li Chengqian. This made her extremely detestable. Therefore, she looked at Li Chengqian for help. ¡°Jian Qingli, I¡¯m sorry. Our team is full now.¡± Li Chengqian was straightforward. He was upfront and blunt. He rejected Jian Qingli in her face. He had given Jian Qingli a chance to join his team when he was signing up. In fact, he gave her two chances! At that time, he had just been reborn. His thoughts were very simple. He thought that apart from changing his fate, he would also change Jian Qingli¡¯s tragic fate. Unfortunately, Jian Qingli did not appreciate it. Now that she realized how powerful Li Chengqian was, she wanted to rely on him? He, Li Chengqian, was not a public bus. He would not be at someone¡¯s beck and call! There is no free lunch in this world! After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Jian Qingli¡¯s face fell. It was as if she had bled heavily and her face turned pale. Chapter 42 - 42 Software Engineer, Divine Dragon Optimization 42 Software Engineer, Divine Dragon Optimization Jian Qingli¡¯s face was tense the whole journey home. When she got home, she could no longer hold back the grievance in her heart. She broke down and cried softly. ¡°Mom, Li Chengqian used to be especially easy to get along with. He would do whatever I asked him to do. How did he become like this now?¡± ¡°I know I¡¯ve hurt him a little when I kept him at a distance some time ago, but I have already apologized for that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t accept my apology,¡± ¡°but he mocked me deliberately.¡± When Huang Jingjing saw her daughter break down, she felt bad for her. ¡°Daughter, Li Chengqian is no longer the same person.¡± ¡°Even Chen Li is no longer the same woman .¡± ¡°In the past, Li Chengqian was a loser. Now, he has become a shining star.¡± ¡°Daughter, when the world changes in ways beyond our control, the only thing we can do is adapt.¡± ¡­ On the other side of the wall, at Li Chengqian¡¯s house. After Chen Li and Li Chengqian got home, Chen Li, who was in a particularly good mood, hummed a tune and walked into the kitchen with a smile. ¡°Son, take a rest. I¡¯ll get you something yummy to eat.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t waste any time in getting down to work. He took the laptop to his room. He was also in a particularly good mood. He felt vindicated. He knew that henceforth, no one would dare to underestimate him. ¡°It¡¯s only today that my fate has completely changed.¡± Li Chengqian had a faint smile on his face. However, Li Chengqian was not arrogant. He knew that everything now was made possible by the Master of all Professions game. He felt that it was necessary to plan the next steps properly. ¡°Open the personal interface!¡± On the translucent page, Li Chengqian¡¯s detailed information appeared.

Li Chengqian focused on the word ¡°Upgrade¡± behind the words ¡°Worker Profession¡±. The page immediately jumped to the Profession Certificate purchase interface of the Profession Mall. There were countless Professions on the page. Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze landed on the Worker profession upgrade column. The profession he had set his mind on, Software Engineer, was inside the column. [Profession: Software Engineer] [Job Requirement 1: Attain level 9 for Worker profession (Completed), attain level 9 for Student profession (Completed).] [Job Requirement 2: Attain master proficiency level for High School Knowledge skill (Completed), attain elementary level Information Technology skill (Completed).] [Job Requirement 3: 50,000 experience value points required (Completed).] [Job Requirement 4: Develop a C-grade software alone (Incomplete).] Compared to other professions, the requirements for becoming a Software Engineer were much simpler. ¡°Although my personal interface doesn¡¯t show it, elementary Information Technology skill should be one of my self-taught skills.¡± After his Student profession advanced to university level, the skills he taught himself could be displayed. ¡°The only thing that hasn¡¯t been completed now is the writing of a C-grade software.¡± C-grade was the software classification method adopted in the Master of all Professions game. After the Worker profession was upgraded to level 9, he could see the grading of a software. After he was able to check the grading of a software, he looked at all the softwares available in the market. There was very few softwares that could reach C-grade. After checking, he found that Windows and Linux were C-grade software, while most of the other softwares were D-grade. ¡°C-grade software has requirements for operating efficiency, interaction interface, software compatibility, and so on. It¡¯s very difficult.¡± ¡°However, the Divine Dragon operating system that I¡¯ve written should be able to reach C-grade.¡± The so-called Divine Dragon operating system was the operating system that he was developing now. Currently, he had already completed the writing of the core code. He still needed to complete the writing of five basic functional modules and develop a beautiful and efficient desktop system before it could be considered a complete set of software. Li Chengqian believed that the software should be able to meet the requirements of a C-grade software. However, according to Li Chengqian¡¯s estimation, this operating system was very complicated. Based on the current speed, it would still take at least three months to complete the most basic portion. It will take more time for the remaining software to be completed. Therefore, he planned to complete something easier first so as to meet the requirements for the Software Engineer profession. In fact, Li Chengqian already had a plan. The plan was to optimize the Android system. Everyone knew about the Android system. Most phones ran on the Android system. It could be said that Android was the most popular system in the world. However, the Android system was also very problematic. It had slow processing speed, tended to hang, had high memory occupancy, high power consumption, and high hardware requirements. The system also tended to hang after running for a period of time. The reason was simple. In order for the Android system to run the applications, it had to pass through the javaapi interface, then the ART virtual machine, the HAL hardware abstraction layer, before it could reach the core Linux of the system. With every level of conversion, the efficiency would decrease by a portion. By the time the app was really running, 80% of its performance had been consumed. Only about 10% was left to run the software. The memory occupancy of the Android system was an even greater issue. A mobile phone system had a higher memory requirement than a computer. It easily took up 8 gigabytes and 12 gigabytes of memory. On the other hand, an Apple phone only needed 2 gigabytes of memory to run extremely smoothly. Moreover, there would not be any lag after a long usage time. Why was this so? The problem was still the Android ART virtual machine! From the moment the phone was activated, this huge program would stay in the memory, occupying a large amount of memory space and consuming electricity at all times. During this period of time, while Li Chengqian was studying the core of the Linux system, he was also studying the Android ART virtual machine. As for how to improve Android ART virtual machine and memory management, he already had a concrete plan in mind. ¡°With some improvement work on the existing programme, I should be able to increase the efficiency of the Android system by 20%.¡± ¡°The memory occupancy will be reduced by 50%, and electricity consumption will also be reduced by 50%!¡± ¡°It can allow an Android device from five years ago to run smoothly. Even if it¡¯s used for a long time, there won¡¯t be any lag.¡± Li Chengqian had already thought of the name of this software. It would be called Divine Dragon Optimization! After the software was completed, not only would he meet the prerequisites for advancement to the Software Engineer profession, it would also be a first step to improving his family situation. Yes, he was prepared to use the Divine Dragon Optimization to earn money! After being reborn, Li Chengqian immediately chose to self study software books because the information era is the future, and software and hardware were the two most important things in the information era. If he mastered any one of them, he would be able to make a lot of money! Li Chengqian came from an ordinary family. His parents were factory workers, and their income was not high. They were almost at the lowest rung of society. ¡°The first thing I did after I was reborn was to change my fate. After the results of the second mock exam was released, my fate had already changed. The fate of my parents¡¯ car accident had also changed.¡± This was what Li Chengqian was most worried about. It was a heavy weight on his chest. ¡°Then the second thing is to let my parents live a good life! Let them have no worries about food and clothing, let them buy anything they want.¡± Li Chengqian had a determined look. Then, Li Chengqian opened the code of the Android ART virtual machine and activated the two skills of the Student profession. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± Pages of code quickly flipped past his eyes. There were about 500,000 lines of code in the Android ART virtual machine. After Li Chengqian¡¯s Agility, Intelligence, and Strength Stats were upgraded, with the enhancement of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills, he could read three pages of code in a second, with 50 lines of code per page. He could read 540,000 lines of code in an hour. Moreover, with the enhancement of his Focus and Rational Thinking skills, his photographic memory, comprehension ability, and logical analysis ability were almost boundless. He could completely understand the extremely difficult codes instantly. With the enhancement of Rational Thinking skill, he could even understand how a code ran on the CPU and how to modify a code to increase the efficiency of an operation. As Li Chengqian¡¯s Agility attribute was slowly released, the speed at which he pressed the button increased again. [Worker profession Passive Skill Tool Mastery (Master) activated. Input speed increased by 100%.] His current input speed had already reached the point where he could easily input 400 characters per minute. With the enhancement of the passive Tool Mastery skill (Master), the input speed doubled again. His fingers moved like lightning, and only afterimages could be seen. The speed at which he was inputting reached a terrifying 800 characters per minute. At such a fast speed, Li Chengqian still felt especially relaxed. As he looked at the codes, he quickly reconstructed, modified, deleted, and added codes. Chapter 43 - 43 Mediation 43 Mediation In the chairman¡¯s office of the Square Group, Liu Daqiang¡¯s father, Liu Wendao, was sitting on the sofa. His face was solemn, and his eyes were bloodshot. Anyone could feel his anger. On the sofa opposite him was the best lawyer in Tianyi City, lawyer Zhou Wenwu! After listening to Liu Wendao¡¯s account of the situation and flipping through the relevant information, Zhou Wenwu¡¯s relaxed face turned serious. ¡°President Liu, the situation is very serious. Your son, Liu Daqiang, has already committed a criminal offense.¡± ¡°One wrong move and he¡¯s really going to jail!¡± ¡°If you want to save Liu Daqiang, the first step is to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s letter of understanding.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll handle this matter personally and liaise with the relevant departments.¡± ¡°President Liu, I¡¯m 70% confident about this case!¡± Liu Wendao was furious. ¡°That little bastard Li Chengqian is too vicious. It¡¯s only a small conflict, a harmless joke, and he actually called the police.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a photoshopped picture of him? How dare he send my son to jail for such a trivial matter? This bastard is too vicious! I won¡¯t let him off after this matter is settled!¡± Liu Wendao¡¯s voice was filled with hatred and resentment. In his opinion, a photoshopped picture was something very trivial. There was no need to escalate the matter to this extent. They could have just sat down and discussed the matter amicably. They could have compensated Li Chengqian¡¯s family with some money. Liu Wendao seemed to have completely forgotten that when Li Chengqian said he was going to call the police, the first thing he thought of was not to mediate a resolution with Li Chengqian, but to use his connections to get the school¡¯s dean to suppress Li Chengqian. He thought that he would then just show up and give Li Chengqian some money after the matter had been suppressed. He didn¡¯t expect Li Chengqian to make this move. ¡°President Liu, now that we have come to this, you must not anger Li Chengqian. If you really anger him and he refuses to negotiate with us, your son will definitely go to jail,¡± Zhou Wenming hurriedly said. ¡°That¡¯s true! I won¡¯t touch him for the time being.¡± Liu Wendao gritted his teeth for a while before suppressing the anger in his heart. Then, he shouted at a young man who had just walked in from outside, ¡°Xiaoli, I asked you to investigate the situation in Li Chengqian¡¯s house. How¡¯s your investigation going?¡± ¡°President Liu, I just got the information.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s parents both work at An¡¯ning Construction Supplies Company. His father, Li Tianlan, is a team leader, and his mother, Chen Li, is a warehouse manager.¡± When Liu Wendao heard this name, he found it familiar. With a flash of inspiration, the background of this company came to his mind. ¡°An¡¯ning Construction Supplies Company? Isn¡¯t it President Liang¡¯s company? They came to me and wanted me to buy cement bricks and gravel from their company?¡± In order to confirm this, he asked Xiaoli. ¡°President Liu, it¡¯s this company you¡¯re talking about!¡± Xiaoli nodded. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He felt that Li Chengqian¡¯s parents would be in trouble next. Some time ago, a worker had offended Liu Wendao because of a salary dispute. Liu Wendao went all out to get him by making sure that no construction site in Tianyi City would employ him. Xiaoli felt that Liu Wendao was sick. The amount of salary in dispute was only 9,000 yuan, but Liu Wendao had spent 50,000 yuan to mess with the worker! ¡°Great, that¡¯s great! After this matter is over, I¡¯ll teach you two a lesson¡­¡± Liu Wendao said with a vicious smile. ¡°Xiaoli, keep this to yourself. Go get on with your work.¡± Zhou Wenwu said calmly, ¡°President Liu, I suggest putting everything else aside for now. The most important thing is to think of a way to get Li Chengqian to sign this letter of understanding.¡± He was worried that Liu Wendao would lose sight of the big picture. If he went to deal with Li Chengqian now, he may not be able to get the letter of understanding. ¡°Lawyer Zhou, don¡¯t worry. I know my priorities.¡± Liu Wendao was already thinking of revenge, but he knew that now wasn¡¯t the time. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he would have to wait for Liu Daqiang to be released first. ¡°Lawyer Zhou, help me talk to Li Chengqian. I¡¯ll give you a limit of 100,000 yuan. How much you negotiate is your business. The excess is yours. I only want a letter of understanding.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zhou Wenwu¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately agreed. ¡­ ¡°Son, with your current results, you don¡¯t have to work so hard at all.¡± Chen Li¡¯s heart ached when she saw Li Chengqian writing codes on the computer after he quickly finished the bowl of rice. ¡°With your results, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Divine Dragon University is a done deal.¡± ¡°The Junior Informatics Programming Competition is no longer important to you.¡± She thought that Li Chengqian was practicing programming for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Before Li Chengqian¡¯s results were released, Chen Li and Li Tianlan were still thinking that if Li Chengqian was talented in programming, he would work hard and strive to get into the top 50 in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. This way, Li Chengqian could still get into Divine Dragon University, albeit via another route. Now that the results were out, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t need to go via this route at all. ¡°Mom, what I¡¯m doing now doesn¡¯t have much to do with the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. This is a project that I want to do for myself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll go and rest after writing the code for a while. You must be tired after a long day. Go get some rest first.¡± When Li Chengqian turned around to explain to Chen Li, his hand still didn¡¯t stop. Knock, knock, knock¡­ At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door. Just as Chen Li was about to open the door, she was stopped by Li Chengqian. A trace of vigilance flashed across Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes as he came to the door. He was actually worried that Liu Daqiang¡¯s family would come for revenge. Because of Liu Daqiang, Li Chengqian had heard of Liu Wendao¡¯s reputation as a bully. However, His Strength Stats had already exceeded 30 points, and his Strength was more than three times that of an ordinary person. If Liu Daqiang¡¯s family really wanted to take revenge, he would let them know how powerful he was. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Hello, is this Li Chengqian¡¯s home? I¡¯m Zhou Wenwu from Zhongtian Law Firm. I¡¯m here to mediate the conflict between you and Liu Daqiang.¡± Zhou Wenwu¡¯s voice was polite. Li Chengqian opened the door with an extremely firm attitude. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I won¡¯t accept mediation for Liu Daqiang¡¯s matter!¡± He was determined to send Liu Daqiang to jail! ¡°Young man, don¡¯t be anxious. Let me finish.¡± Zhou Wenwu said with a smile. He was not giving up just because of what Li Chengqian said. ¡°It¡¯s better to have a friend than an enemy!¡± ¡°You and Liu Daqiang are classmates. There¡¯s no need to be so ruthless.¡± ¡°Look, if you send Liu Daqiang to jail, it won¡¯t do you or Liu Daqiang any good.¡± ¡°Although Liu Daqiang will be punished for this, you will also be hated by him. At the same time, you will also be hated by Liu Daqiang¡¯s father, Liu Wendao. Liu Wendao¡¯s reputation isn¡¯t very good. When push comes to shove, he will resort to anything.¡± When Li Chengqian heard this, he sneered disdainfully. With his current capabilities, even if a hundred Liu Wendao¡¯s came, they still won¡¯t be his match. ¡°This society is governed by law. Whoever dares to mess around will pay the price.¡± However, Chen Li, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, was shocked by Zhou Wenwu¡¯s words. She looked at Li Chengqian worriedly. ¡°Liu Wendao is wealthy. Naturally, he won¡¯t get his hands dirty. As long as he pays, there will be many people who will do the job for him.¡± ¡°In the end, you¡¯ll be the one at a disadvantage!¡± Zhou Wenwu said earnestly. He wasn¡¯t just issuing empty threats. He truly felt that Liu Wendao would really do that. ¡°Haha¡­¡± Li Chengqian laughed coldly and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Liu Wendao wants to put a stop to this matter, neither does he want to pursue it. He feels it¡¯s normal for there to be some conflicts between you and Liu Daqiang as the two of you are classmates.¡± ¡°However, we can¡¯t send Liu Daqiang to prison just because of a little conflict.¡± ¡°In order to show his sincerity, President Liu is willing to give you 10,000 yuan as compensation. Although it¡¯s not much money, it¡¯s still a gesture of his sincerity.¡± ¡°Moreover, you didn¡¯t lose anything from the incident of the photoshopped picture. Because of this, Liu Daqiang became everyone¡¯s laughing stock. He has already received the punishment he deserves.¡± Zhou Wenwu¡¯s message to Li Chengqian was that he had gotten a good bargain. ¡°As long as you sign the letter of understanding, not only will the money be yours, but the grudge between your family and President Liu will also be written off,¡± Zhou Wenwu kept a sincere look on his face as he continued spouting nonsense. Chapter 44 - 44 Cruel World 44 Cruel World ¡°Son, why don¡¯t we just let this matter rest?¡± Chen Li was a little tempted after hearing what Zhou Wenwu said. What she cared about was not money, but Li Chengqian¡¯s safety. Chen Li was just an ordinary person. She was especially worried that if they really became enemies with Liu Wendao, he would take revenge on Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian frowned and didn¡¯t say anything. When Zhou Wenwu saw this situation, he felt that as long as he kept up the pressure, he would be able to make Li Chengqian submit. ¡°Young man, Liu Daqiang has been taught a good lesson this time. He won¡¯t dare to find trouble with you again after he is released.¡± ¡°Please let him off on account of his young age and insensibility.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so young. His life will really be ruined if he gets incarcerated.¡± ¡°Also, you know Liu Wendao¡¯s personality. You can¡¯t afford to offend him. The consequences will be terrible.¡± ¡°If you really offended him, not only will he take revenge on you, but he will also take revenge on your parents.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t put your own family at risk just because of your impulsiveness.¡± Everything Zhou Wenwu said sounded as if he was thinking for Li Chengqian. In actual fact, there was a veiled threat in every sentence. Initially, when Chen Li said ¡®forget it¡¯, Li Chengqian¡¯s determination had already begun to waver. However, Zhou Wenwu¡¯s attitude was very arrogant. He kept issuing threats, especially when he used Li Chengqian¡¯s parents to threaten him. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes turned completely cold. His voice was steely. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. I¡¯m not reconciling, and I¡¯m not signing!¡± ¡°If you want me to sign it, sure. Make Liu Wendao kneel in front of me and beg me!¡± Zhou Wenwu was stunned, and Li Chengqian continued. ¡°Also, the thing I can¡¯t stand the most is threats!¡± ¡°Especially using my parents to threaten me. Whoever dares to touch my parents, I¡¯ll take his life!¡± Li Chengqian was like a ferocious beast. That ferocious aura made Zhou Wenwu hold his breath. Zhou Wenwu¡¯s threat reminded Li Chengqian of his life after his parents¡¯ car accident in his previous life. Fury surged in his heart. Li Chengqian suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Wenwu¡¯s collar. Amidst Zhou Wenwu¡¯s terrified cries, he lifted Zhou Wenwu up as if he was a chicken. ¡°Whoever dares to touch my parents, I¡¯ll take his life. I¡¯ll send him to his death!¡± Li Chengqian sounded maniacal. ¡°I¡­¡± Zhou Wenwu had never seen such a scene in his life. He was so frightened by Li Chengqian¡¯s fierce aura that he trembled and couldn¡¯t say a complete sentence. ¡°Son, what¡¯s wrong?! Don¡¯t hit him. Put him down now.¡± Chen Li was extremely anxious and hurriedly ran over to pull Li Chengqian. ¡°Remember my words! Then get lost!¡± Hearing Chen Li¡¯s voice, the rage in Li Chengqian¡¯s heart subsided and he sobered up. He put him down and pointed at the stairwell with a cold expression. Zhou Wenwu was so terrified that his face was pale. Zhou Wenwu¡¯s entire body trembled, and his face was filled with fear and unease. He jumped up like a rabbit and quickly rushed into the stairwell before disappearing. ¡°Is this little bastard crazy?! Such a minor matter and he is ranting murder.¡± ¡°I¡¯d better let Liu Wendao handle this matter himself.¡± Zhou Wenwu was really frightened. ¡°Son, why did you suddenly¡­¡± Chen Li pulled Li Chengqian into the house and closed the door, her face filled with worry. Seeing that Li Chengqian kept silent, she continued, ¡°Son, look at the big picture, this is for our good too. There¡¯s no need for us to go head on with Liu Wendao. We¡¯re an ordinary family, we can¡¯t afford to offend him.¡± ¡°Let them threaten us. It¡¯s not as if they can really hurt us.¡± ¡°Liu Wendao and the others are wealthy. Let¡¯s stay away from them and not provoke them.¡± Actually, Chen Li was afraid that Li Chengqian would be at the losing end. ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to worry. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Li Chengqian sat in front of the computer again and began coding. He needed to speed up and optimize Divine Dragon. Li Chengqian was not worried about his own safety at all. With his current strength, assuming there was no usage of firearms, no one in this world should be his match. But Li Chengqian¡¯s parents were ordinary people! This was what Li Chengqian was most worried about. ¡°I have to speed up and write the software. After I earn money, I¡¯ll shift my parents to a safe place to live.¡± Li Chengqian thought to himself. Chen Li was still especially worried about Li Chengqian, but she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°When Li Tianlan comes back tonight, I have to discuss with him what to do.¡± ¡°We have to think of a way. We can¡¯t let others hurt our son.¡± Chen Li thought worriedly. ¡­ In the president¡¯s office of the Square Group, Zhou Wenwu returned in a sorry state with a trace of fear in his eyes. ¡°President Liu, I went to look for Li Chengqian and was almost beaten up by him,¡± Zhou Wenwu said with a bitter expression. ¡°He was not agreeable to sign a letter of understanding at all. ¡°I did my part. His mother, Chen Li, was agreeable initially. But Li Chengqian went crazy for some reason and suddenly got very angry. He firmly refused to sign the letter of understanding.¡± A lawyer¡¯s forte was his glib tongue. To lawyers without professional ethics, distorting the truth was a most basic tactic. ¡°Did you say anything about the money?¡± Liu Wendao was furious, but he wasn¡¯t a fool. He suppressed his anger and asked. ¡°I also mentioned the money! I was afraid that his family would demand an exorbitant price, so I started by offering 10,000 yuan¡­¡± Zhou Wenming saw Liu Wendao¡¯s face turn black and quickly continued, ¡°I was prepared to up the offer. ¡°But Li Chengqian suddenly went crazy. He didn¡¯t give me a chance to better the offer at all and attacked me.¡± Looking at Liu Wendao¡¯s furious gaze, Zhou Wentao changed the topic and said the most crucial sentence. ¡°Li Chengqian also said that a letter of understanding is possible, on the condition that you¡­¡± The anger in Liu Wendao¡¯s eyes subsided greatly. ¡°Go on, what is the condition?¡± ¡°He said on condition that you get down on your knees and beg him!¡± When Liu Wendao heard this, he flew into a rage. ¡°This little bastard! Does he have a death wish?!¡± ¡°F*ck him, he¡¯s really asking for it!¡± ¡°He really thinks I can¡¯t deal with him, doesn¡¯t he?¡± Liu Wendao gritted his teeth in anger. Li Chengqian wanted him to kneel down and beg for mercy. To him, this was a huge insult. ¡°I¡¯m really going to show this little bastard what my methods are, what I am capable of! He will learn what regret means!¡± Liu Wendao took a deep breath. He took out his phone and found the number for the President Liang of An¡¯ning Construction Supplies Company. ¡°Li Chengqian, you brat, you don¡¯t know how difficult life is, but your parents do.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get President Liang to work on your parents.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re willing to sign it, I¡¯ll still reward you with 100,000 yuan. Take it as alms for a beggar and a dog.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re still unwilling, I¡¯ll get President Liang to fire your parents. First, your parents will lose their jobs and your family won¡¯t have a source of income.¡± It was fine to ask for money. As long as Liu Wendao was happy, he would give it like it was a treat for a dog like Li Chengqian. But Li Chengqian was just an ordinary person. It was a joke to ask him to cower to Li Chengqian. ¡°Little bastard, if you still dare to reject me this time, I¡¯ll show you how cruel this world is.¡± A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Liu Wendao¡¯s eyes. As long as he was willing to pay, there would be people willing to help him do anything. Liu Wendao didn¡¯t have much else, but he had earned a lot of money over the years! Chapter 45 - 45 You Dont Have a Choice 45 You Don¡¯t Have a Choice Li Tianlan was beaming at An Ning Construction Supplies Company. He had already received Chen Li¡¯s call and seen the screenshot of the results that Chen Li had specially sent him. He had also seen the ranking that the teacher had displayed on the big screen. He looked at the photo again and again, tirelessly. His face under the hard hat was grinning widely. ¡°Li Tianlan, President Liang is looking for you. He wants you to stop what you¡¯re doing and go to his office.¡± An office lady found Li Tianlan and immediately urged him to do so. ¡°Xiaoyu, why is President Liang looking for me?¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He was wary. ¡°Could it be that President Liang saw me skiving and playing with my phone?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, it¡¯s quite urgent. You¡¯ll know when you get there.¡± Xiaoyu¡¯s face was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with disgust for Li Tianlan. She was unwilling to converse with Li Tianlan as he was all dirty and grimy after moving cement for a while. She was worried that if she got too close to Li Tianlan, her brand new white skirt would be soiled. Not long after, the two of them arrived at an opulent office. President Liang was a skinny middle-aged man. He had high cheekbones, sunken cheeks and deep eye sockets. He wore a dark blue shirt and his hair was meticulously styled. Just by looking at his appearance, he seemed a particularly fierce and ruthless person. In fact, his personality was really as such. He was domineering, arrogant, harsh to his subordinates, and loved to nitpick. ¡°President Liang, Li Tianlan is here.¡± Xiaoyu¡¯s voice instantly became sweet and her body language alluring. It was a 180 degree change from the frosty treatment she gave to Li Tianlan. ¡°Xiaoyu, you may leave now, close the door behind you,¡± President Liang instructed. After Xiaoyu left the office, he addressed Li Tianlan, who had been standing on the side. ¡°Li Tianlan, come take a seat, let¡¯s chat!¡± Li Tianlan was a little nervous. Although he had been at An Ning Construction Supplies Company for three years, he had only met President Liang less than five times. However, the entire company knew that President Liang was extremely strict. He frequently screamed at his subordinates. ¡°President Liang, why did you call me over?¡± Li Tianlan was a little nervous as he asked meekly. President Liang glanced at Li Tianlan with a stony face. ¡°Li Tianlan, you¡¯ve been at An¡¯ning Construction Supplies Company for three years, right?¡± Seeing Li Tianlan nod, President Liang cut to the chase, ¡°Now, there¡¯s something I need your help with.¡± ¡°Boss, tell me.¡± Li Tianlan was first flattered, then he became doubtful. He was just an ordinary person. How could he help President Liang? ¡°Liu Wendao, you know him, you know that his son and your son had a conflict in school today.¡± ¡°After your son called the police, his son was taken away. He¡¯s likely to be convicted and sentenced.¡± ¡°Now, the only way to save his son is for your son to sign a letter of understanding.¡± ¡°Now, he called me and asked me to plead with you so that your son can sign a letter of understanding.¡± President Liang told him everything he knew upfront. Liu Wendao had already promised him that as long as he could get Li Chengqian to sign a letter of understanding, he would be willing to sign a procurement contract with An Ning Construction Supplies Company,and it would be worth 30 million yuan. Moreover, Liu Wendao said that there was also a possibility of collaboration on a larger project. Li Tianlan was a little stunned as he had no idea that there was a conflict between Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang. Chen Li had never mentioned it to him. ¡°President Liang, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll call home and ask what¡¯s going on. What do you think?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother to call!¡± President Liang said in a domineering voice. He flatly rejected Li Tianlan¡¯s suggestion to call. This was because he felt that there was no need. Li Tianlan was an employee of his company, so he had to listen to him, the boss. After all, Li Tianlan had already been on his payroll for three years. If Li Tianlan didn¡¯t listen to him, there was no need for him to continue working here. ¡°Li Tianlan, I¡¯ll be honest with you. Liu Wendao is determined to get the letter of understanding. You have been in this industry, you must have heard of his reputation.¡± ¡°If you offend him, you won¡¯t have an easy time!¡± ¡°After signing the letter of understanding, Liu Wendao is willing to pay 100,000 yuan.¡± As President Liang spoke, he took out ten bundles of bright red 100-yuan bills and placed them on the table. Then, he took out a printout and handed it to Li Tianlan. ¡°This is a letter of understanding that I¡¯ve already printed. Take it back and get your son to sign it.¡± ¡°When you hand me this letter of understanding, this money will be all yours.¡± There was no doubt in President Liang¡¯s voice. What he said was like an order. He didn¡¯t care if Li Tianlan would agree. As far as he was concerned, Li Tianlan had to agree to what he said. He had no choice. Li Tianlan frowned slightly and said helplessly, ¡°President Liang, can you let me understand the situation first?¡± He didn¡¯t know what was going on at all. How could he simply agree? What if the letter of understanding was disadvantageous to Li Chengqian! Therefore, he did not want to simply agree. President Liang¡¯s face instantly fell. He looked at Li Tianlan with anger. He had already made it very clear, but Li Tianlan still dared to talk back to him. ¡°Li Tianlan, your son must sign this letter of understanding. There¡¯s no room for negotiation.¡± ¡°After you get it signed, this 100,000 yuan is yours.¡± ¡°You and your wife can continue working in my company.¡± Thereafter, President Liang¡¯s voice turned cold. ¡°If you can¡¯t get this done¡­¡± ¡°You and your wife can get lost from my company! This is my company. I am free to fire you!¡± ¡°Liu Wendao will also find someone to take revenge on your entire family and destroy your family. Liu Wendao has plenty of money. There are many people who are willing to do dirty things for him. If he really takes revenge, will your family be able to take the consequences?¡± ¡°Li Tianlan, do you understand? You don¡¯t have a choice at all!¡± President Liang was being upfront. His voice was icy cold as he issued the threat. Li Tianlan felt extremely aggrieved and clenched his fists tightly. He was raging inside. However, he was just an ordinary person. Even President Liang could make him jobless by firing him, not to mention Liu Wendao. Li Chengqian was still studying, so they would need funds for him. Their house was bought with a loan, and he had a mortgage to service. If he was fired and couldn¡¯t find a new job within a short period of time, the house they were living in would be repossessed. He really didn¡¯t dare to take this risk. Li Tianlan felt bitter in his heart and reached out to take the letter of understanding from President Liang. President Liang smiled smugly and handed the letter of understanding to Li Tianlan. His tone was still haughty. ¡°Li Tianlan, that¡¯s the way.¡± ¡°Get it signed. It¡¯s a win-win for everyone.¡± ¡°Your family can¡¯t afford the price of not signing.¡± ¡°Li Tianlan, although I¡¯m forcing you, this is only for your own good!¡± President Liang¡¯s attitude was very obvious. I¡¯m forcing you, so you have to listen to me. If you don¡¯t listen to me, I¡¯ll fire you. ¡°President Liang, I¡¯ll go home first.¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s voice was hoarse and he was furious. However, he could only accept reality, suppress his anger and grievance and do as President Liang asked. ¡°Alright, go back first. Call me when you¡¯ve got it signed.¡± President Liang naturally had to go with him for such an important matter, however he didn¡¯t want Li Tianlan to dirty his car. Moreover, it would be beneath him to be seen with Li Tianlan. Chapter 46 - 46 A Few Tight Slaps 46 A Few Tight Slaps ¡°Chen Li, what¡¯s going on? President Liang wants me to come back and get our son to sign a letter of understanding.¡± Li Tianlan had just walked out of An Ning Construction Supplies Company when he immediately took out his phone and called Chen Li. ¡°This is what happened¡­¡± With a heavy heart, Chen Li explained the entire matter from beginning to end. ¡°You¡¯re saying that our son wouldn¡¯t sign it no matter what?¡± Li Tianlan frowned. ¡°Wait for me at home, I¡¯m on my way back now. We¡¯ll discuss this properly when I get back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of whether to sign or not to sign. We simply don¡¯t have a choice at all.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make things clear to our son,¡± Li Tianlan said in a hoarse voice and boarded the bus home. ¡­ When Li Tianlan got home, he stood behind Li Chengqian and looked at him as he focused on coding. ¡°Son, listen, I have something to discuss with you.¡± ¡°Liu Wendao got someone to find my boss.¡± ¡°My boss wants to talk to me, he wants you to sign the letter of understanding.¡± As he spoke, Li Tianlan had already handed the letter of understanding to Li Chengqian. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just sign it?¡± Li Tianlan had thought about it carefully on the way back. He felt that it was a must to sign it. They would lose their dignity if they sign. But if they don¡¯t sign, they would lose their livelihood! They were ordinary people. The first thing they had to consider was survival, not dignity. ¡°Son, I don¡¯t want to sign it either¡­ But if we don¡¯t, our boss will fire your mother and me.¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s voice was filled with bitterness. In a grownup¡¯s world, things are never as easy as imagined. There were many things that young people could not or would not think of at all. Mortgage was 6,000 yuan a month, utilities was 800 yuan a month, and daily necessities came to 1,000 yuan a month. There was also the cost of clothes, daily necessities, and so on. Even if they were thrifty, the family¡¯s basic monthly expenditure was 9,000 yuan. With both him and Chen Li working, their monthly income added up to this amount only. If the two of them were fired together, they won¡¯t even be able to pay the mortgage. President Liang seemed to be clear about this point, which was why he was so high handed. When Li Chengqian heard this, he was happy instead of shocked. His eyes lit up. After being reborn, he had wanted his parents to resign, but he had never found a good opportunity to say this. His parents worked as workers at An Ning Construction Supplies Company. It was hard labor, and the working environment was very poor. It had a huge impact on their health. In fact, he was already making plans for his parents to resign. After getting to know Huang Daliang on Peach Blossom Mountain, he had secretly traded precious ingredients with Huang Daliang a few times. He didn¡¯t dare to trade too much for fear of being discovered. By now, he already had 30,000 yuan. Although it was not much, it was definitely enough to tide their family over for one or two months. Within these two months, his Divine Dragon Optimization software would bring him considerable revenue. ¡°Dad, check your message.¡± Li Chengqian took out his phone and quickly transferred 30,000 yuan to Li Tianlan¡¯s account. ¡°30,000 yuan? Son, where did you get 30,000 yuan from?¡± Li Tianlan looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. ¡°Dad, this money is legit. I got it from selling white truffles to Boss Huang,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°This 30,000 yuan is enough for our family for the next two months.¡± ¡°If President Liang wants to fire you and my mother, just let him.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already spoken to the lawyer who came here earlier. I can sign the letter of understanding on condition that Liu Wendao kneels in front of me and begs me.¡± ¡°So, I won¡¯t sign this letter of understanding.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s attitude was very firm. ¡°Son, have you thought about it? What will we do in the future after we have used up this 30,000 yuan?¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s expression became serious. He felt that Li Chengqian was too simple minded. ¡°Dad, the prize money for winning the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is 100,000 yuan!¡± ¡°When the competition ends next month, this 100,000 yuan will be mine.¡± Li Chengqian was brimming with confidence. In fact, the 100,000 yuan prize money was nothing compared to the Divine Dragon Optimization software he was developing. However, his parents didn¡¯t understand this. They wouldn¡¯t understand even if he explained it to them. Li Tianlan frowned. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. ¡°President Liang¡­¡± Li Tianlan picked up the phone and greeted him. ¡°Li Tianlan, what the f*ck is wrong with you? You¡¯ve been home for half an hour and you still haven¡¯t got it signed?¡± President Liang¡¯s voice was filled with impatience and dissatisfaction. He had followed Li Tianlan over and watched him get home, but he waited and waited and he still hadn¡¯t come down. ¡°Hurry up, stop dilly-dallying. President Liu is still waiting!¡± President Liang¡¯s tone was threatening. ¡°President Liang, you¡­¡± Li Tianlan was furious, but he didn¡¯t dare flare up. Just as he was about to say that he would be done soon, Li Chengqian snatched the phone from him. Li Tianlan¡¯s phone was very loud. Li Chengqian had heard everything President Liang said. This arrogant attitude and threatening tone infuriated him. Li Tianlan could tolerate it, but he, Li Chengqian, couldn¡¯t. ¡°President Liang, right? I¡¯m Li Chengqian. I¡¯m telling you clearly now that I won¡¯t sign the letter of understanding!¡± ¡°Also, let me inform you that my parents are resigning! Who cares about your lousy company.¡± ¡°Lastly, I¡¯m warning you. Be more respectful to my father. Otherwise, you will get it from me.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was unyielding as he rebuked President Liang. ¡°Little brat, you¡¯re really something, aren¡¯t you? Such arrogance!¡± President Liang¡¯s voice turned cold. He was furious and a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re warning me, right? You¡¯re not polite to me, right? You¡¯re quite something! Alright, I¡¯ll let you warn me in person and let you be rude to me in person.¡± After President Liang said that, he hung up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. That little bastard said that he would give it to me. Let¡¯s go straight to his house. I want to see what he can do to me.¡± President Liang sneered disdainfully. His voice was cold as he said to the other three people in the car. The other three people in the car were burly young men with fierce faces. When they heard President Liang¡¯s words, they laughed disdainfully. ¡°This little bastard is really not afraid of death!¡± The driver sneered. ¡°I¡¯ll let him know later that he¡¯s still too inexperienced.¡± Another man with a diagonal scar on his nose had a disdainful expression. ¡°Don¡¯t act before I say so. Listen to my instructions. What era is it now? We can¡¯t simply fight and kill. Don¡¯t cause trouble for me,¡± President Liang instructed sternly. ¡°Brother Liang, don¡¯t worry. We know our limits,¡± the man with the diagonal scar replied confidently. ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble after going up. A few tight slaps will scare the little bastard shitless. Even if you make him kneel and sing, he will do as told.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll just issue some threats. They are ordinary folks, this would be enough to scare them out of their wits. They¡¯ll then do whatever they¡¯re told to do.¡± They were all wily old foxes, and were very used to bullying ordinary folks. We won¡¯t be too harsh with them, so even if they called the police on us, we would at most be given an administrative punishment. We¡¯ll be out in 15 days tops. As for them, they will be facing our actions everyday and they will be living in fear.¡± ¡°Do you think they would dare to defy us?¡± The few of them laughed as they spoke. They walked towards Li Chengqian¡¯s house with ferocious expressions. Chapter 47 - 47 Childs Play 47 Child¡¯s Play ¡°Son, you¡¯re too impulsive.¡± ¡°You have to change, else you will suffer.¡± Li Tianlan took the phone from Li Chengqian¡¯s hand, then walked to the window and looked out. He was just in time to see four burly men get out of President Liang¡¯s Land Rover with the license plate V5888.They looked like the type not to be trifled with. ¡°Chen Li, bring our son to his room first and lock the door.¡± Li Tianlan took a deep breath. ¡°Old Li, why don¡¯t we call the police?¡± Chen Li panicked when she saw President Liang and the others get out of the car. ¡°We are governed by rule of law. They won¡¯t dare to do anything to me.¡± Li Tianlan felt that if they called the police now, they would completely fall out with President Liang and offend him. He knew President Liang¡¯s vengeful personality very well and did not want to offend him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Li Tianlan took a deep breath. ¡°Dad, they¡¯re looking for me. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Li Chengqian had no intention of hiding in the room. His experience in his previous life told him that when he met a ruthless person, he had to go head on with him instead of backing down. People would only walk all over you if you back down. Especially for a person like President Liang. If you give him an inch, he will take a mile. To deal with such a person, one had to be more ruthless or stronger than him. One had to instill fear in him. Just then, someone knocked on the door forcefully. Thud! Thud! Thud! Right on the heels of that came President¡¯s Liang¡¯s cold and domineering voice. ¡°Little brat, didn¡¯t you say that you would show me some colors?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here. Open the door!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t open the door, I¡¯ll kick it open.¡± Thud! Thud! Thud! Chen Li and Li Tianlan¡¯s faces fell, and panic appeared in their eyes. Just as the husband and wife were distracted, Li Chengqian quickly circled around and rushed towards the door. Li Chengqian rushed to the door in a few long strides and quickly opened it. President Liang, who was knocking on the door, almost fell to the ground as the door opened on him. He looked quite embarrassed. The three people who came with him almost burst out laughing when they saw him stumble. ¡°President Liang, it¡¯s a misunderstanding. Chengqian didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Don¡¯t mind him¡­¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s head was covered in sweat as he quickly walked towards the door. With President Liang¡¯s vengeful personality, he would definitely teach Li Chengqian a lesson for doing this to him. President Liang¡¯s face was red with anger. He quickly stood up straight with a ferocious expression. He raised his hand and slapped Li Chengqian hard. ¡°Little brat, you deserve a beating. I¡¯ll slap you to death, you little bastard.¡± This slap was heavy and strong. He did it with all his might. If he really managed to slap him, his face would probably be swollen. ¡°This idiot has embarrassed President Liang. He is in deep shit today.¡± Scarface looked like he was waiting to watch a good show. ¡°Son, dodge!¡± Chen Li shouted anxiously and ran over with Li Tianlan. Li Chengqian was cool as ice. After his Agility Stats reached 38 points, his dynamic vision was greatly enhanced. President Liang¡¯s slap may seem very fast to others, but in his eyes, it was like slow motion. He raised his leg and kicked President Liang in his stomach. With the help of his Agility Stats, his speed was already four times that of an ordinary person, and his strength was also three times that of an ordinary person. Therefore, his leg landed on President Liang¡¯s stomach before the slap landed on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. Bang! President Liang flew out of Li Chengqian¡¯s house as if he had been hit by a car. He slammed into the wall of the stairwell and slid down the wall to the ground like a pile of mud. His face was pale and he hugged his stomach with both hands, wailing loudly from the pain. When the three people President Liang brought saw this scene, they gasped, and their eyes almost popped out. This young man was too vicious! He attacked just like that. Such a ruthless and decisive kick with extraordinary strength shocked them. Li Tianlan and Chen Li were stunned when they saw this. However, when they saw the three burly men standing outside the door, the two of them became anxious again. One man was no match for three. Although Li Chengqian had sent President Liang flying with a kick, if the three of them attacked him together, he would be at a disadvantage. ¡°Chengqian, don¡¯t go out. Come back quickly,¡± Chen Li shouted anxiously. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even turn his head as he strode over to President Liang. President Liang hugged his stomach and his body trembled violently. There was a trace of fear hidden in his eyes. Scarface and the other two finally recovered from the shock. They ran to the wall and helped President Liang up. Then, the three of them stood together and glared at Li Chengqian. ¡°President Liang, look¡­¡± Scarface held President Liang and whispered into his ear. ¡°Kill this bastard! I¡¯ll bear all the consequences.¡± The three of them surrounded President Liang, giving him an unprecedented sense of security. He endured the pain and his hoarse voice was filled with vengeance. Rage had consumed his rationality. All he wanted to do was retaliate and vent. ¡°Little bastard!¡± Immediately, other than Scarface, the other two clenched their fists and threw punches at Li Chengqian¡¯s face. Chen Li and Li Tianlan were terrified. Chen Li was so agitated that she burst out crying. ¡°Whoever hits my son, I¡¯ll fight him to the end!¡± Li Tianlan, who had been showing tolerance, roared. His entire body trembled as he picked up a rod from his house and rushed out. He would not tolerate his son being assaulted! At this moment, Li Chengqian made his move! He stretched out his hands, fast as lightning, and grabbed the two fists that were swung at him like iron pincers, holding them firmly in mid air. The two burly men¡¯s faces turned red as they exerted every ounce of their strength. They tried to retract their hands, but Li Chengqian had an iron grip on them and they couldn¡¯t move an inch. ¡°I¡¯ll see how many hands you have!¡± The two of them yelled. With murderous eyes, they clenched their other fists and threw punches at Li Chengqian¡¯s head. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes turned cold. He suddenly twisted the two arms that he was grabbing, spinning them 120 degrees. They felt excruciating pain from their arms. ¡°Ouch¡­ it hurts¡­ it hurts¡­ it hurts, spare me, spare me¡­ let go of me¡­¡± The two of them were in so much pain that their faces were contorted. In order to relieve the pain, the two of them could only turn their bodies in the opposite direction and kneel in front of Li Chengqian. Their faces were pale and covered in sweat. From the beginning to the end, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say a word. His face was expressionless. Whether it was President Liang or Scarface, when they saw their companions being taken down by Li Chengqian in a split second, shock and fear appeared in their eyes. Li Chengqian¡¯s stony face was chilling. ¡°President Liang, right?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was icy cold. President Liang trembled, and his face turned pale. He was terrified. Scarface, who was holding President Liang, swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with fear. ¡°Remember what I am going to say¡­¡± ¡°Then, get lost!¡± ¡°If you provoke me again, I¡¯m capable of anything.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was calm. He let go of the two burly men who had nearly passed out from the pain. Then, Li Chengqian reached out and gently patted President Liang on his shoulder. President Liang¡¯s body stiffened in fear, and his legs couldn¡¯t help shaking. ¡°Also, my parents have resigned. Calculate the salary that is due to them. If you shortchange them so much as a cent, I¡¯ll personally go to your company to look for you.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he pulled Li Tianlan and Chen Li, who had rushed out, into the house and closed the door. From the beginning to the end, Scarface, who was holding President Liang, didn¡¯t dare to utter a word. Even his breathing was gentler than before. After Li Chengqian left, the other two burly men collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if they had just escaped death. In an instant, President Liang¡¯s shirt was drenched in cold sweat. He didn¡¯t even dare to say anything harsh. He endured the pain and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first!¡± In Jian Qingli¡¯s house, Huang Jingjing and Jian Qingli held their breaths behind the peephole. After seeing President Liang and the others walk away, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Who did Chen Li¡¯s family provoke? They have actually come to her house to cause trouble,¡± Huang Jingjing said softly. ¡°Did Li Chengqian learn martial arts? He¡¯s a little skinny, I didn¡¯t expect him to be so powerful as to beat four burly men to the ground effortlessly.¡± Huang Jingjing sat on the sofa, her eyes filled with shock. ¡°Jeez¡­ I¡¯m so envious. Why don¡¯t I have such a powerful child?¡± Huang Jingjing¡¯s eyes were filled with envy. ¡°Qingli, why didn¡¯t you tell me that Li Chengqian is so powerful?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know Li Chengqian was so powerful in the past!¡± Jian Qingli was even more shaken to the point that her head was swirling. Witnessing Li Chengqian take down the four burly men like it was child¡¯s play, seeing the four burly men breaking out in cold sweat upon hearing what he said, Li Chengqian was awe inspiring, like a superhero. Jian Qingli was so shaken by this, she felt an immense sense of security. Her heart started to race. Every girl liked her man to be strong and brave. They all wish for a hero in their lives. Chapter 48 - 48 Apologizing 48 Apologizing ¡°President Liang, what are you saying? The few of you were beaten up by Li Chengqian? Now you¡¯re in the hospital? Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t agree to sign the letter of understanding? Are you kidding?¡± Liu Wendao¡¯s voice was filled with shock and disbelief. He had seen Li Chengqian in person before. He looked ordinary. The people President Liang brought were all burly men and they all looked so unassailable. It was hard to imagine that Li Chengqian could hurt them so badly they needed medical treatment. After checking and confirming, Liu Wendao finally believed that although Li Chengqian looked very thin, he was exceptionally strong. This made his heart sink again. Not only was Li Chengqian good in his studies, he was also much stronger than most people in martial arts . ¡°Li Chengqian said that I have to kneel in front of him and beg him if I wanted his letter of understanding?¡± Liu Wendao got very upset. He started boiling in rage and slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang. ¡°President Liang, I appreciate your hard work. Rest and get well soon. You don¡¯t have to worry about the order. I¡¯ll arrange it.¡± Although President Liang didn¡¯t succeed, he was hospitalized nevertheless. Liu Wendao naturally had to express his gratitude. Otherwise, who would work with him in the future? Who would help him? ¡°President Liu, President Liang didn¡¯t get the letter of understanding either? I told you before that although Li Chengqian is young, he¡¯s very powerful. Using forceful methods will only backfire and intensify the conflict.¡± The lawyer, Zhou Wenwu, looked serious as he spoke, but he was secretly gloating. Liu Wendao was upset with him after he failed to mediate a settlement at Li Chengqian¡¯s house. He even ticked him off for failing to even handle a student. He came very close to calling him trash. Not only had President Liang failed to settle the matter even after he brought three burly men over, he and the men even got hurt and had to be hospitalized. Although Zhou Wenwu didn¡¯t say it out loud, he was waiting to see Liu Wendao make a fool of himself. ¡°Furthermore, the facts of your young master¡¯s case are clear and there¡¯s sufficient evidence. The police handled the case very promptly. The case might be handed over for prosecution within a few days.¡± ¡°President Liu, you have to act now. Otherwise, your young master might really go to jail.¡± This was the professional opinion of a lawyer, Zhou Wenwu had to advise Liu Wendao. ¡°What?¡± Liu Wendao looked sicker and sicker in the face. Panic finally appeared in his usually confident eyes. ¡°President Liu, given the situation, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any other way out. Perhaps Li Chengqian will only agree to sign the letter of understanding if you personally visit and apologize to him.¡± Zhou Wenwu gave the most pragmatic suggestion. ¡°Impossible! How can I apologize to an ordinary person?¡± Liu Wendao was visibly upset. As the president of the Square Group and a businessman worth hundreds of millions, he would only kowtow to someone more powerful and wealthier! However, Li Chengqian was from an ordinary family, with neither power nor influence! Li Chengqian was just a high school student. If word got out that he apologized to him, he would become a laughing stock. ¡°But if you don¡¯t apologize, your young master will go to jail,¡± Zhou Wenwu said casually. At this point, Liu Wendao lost it completely. He was originally furious, but has now suddenly fallen silent. He went limp like a deflated balloon and slumped onto the sofa, ashen-faced. He was now cornered and was at his wit¡¯s end! ¡°I¡¯ll look for him tomorrow and apologize!¡± ¡°President Liu, you have to act fast. The sooner the better. Otherwise, it will affect your young master¡¯s life.¡± Zhou Wenwu felt so vindicated that he became lighthearted. Although he had capitulated to Li Chengqian, he felt much better now that he was vindicated. ¡°A devil can only be conquered by another devil. When facing a ruthless person like Li Chengqian, even you, Liu Wendao, have to cower.¡± ¡­ Early the next morning, Chen Li and Li Tianlan woke up early. Although the two of them didn¡¯t say much, they couldn¡¯t hide the anxiety in their eyes from Li Chengqian. After what happened the night before, they knew that it was impossible for them to continue working in An Ning Construction Supplies Company. Li Chengqian had offered them 30,000 yuan, and had also promised to win 100,000 yuan in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Even if he really did manage to get the 100,000 yuan, how long would the money last? What would they do after this money ran out? The two of them are panicking. They had to find a job! Their thoughts were very simple. ¡°They are able-bodied and should never become a burden to their son.¡± ¡°Son, we¡¯ll go to An Ning Construction Supplies Company to get our stuff first. Then, we¡¯ll help you register a company.¡± ¡°Be careful when you go to school,¡± Chen Li reminded him worriedly. ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m very capable.¡± Li Chengqian was especially confident. He was worried for them however. ¡°You two are the ones who need to take extra care.¡± After chatting for a while, Chen Li and Li Tianlan left. After Li Chengqian tidied up, he carried his school bag and came out of the house. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Jian Qingli standing quietly in the corridor with a smile on her face. She was exquisitely made up. She woke up very early and had been paying attention to the situation at Li Chengqian¡¯s house. When she realized that Chen Li and Li Tianlan had left, she went to stand in the corridor to wait. ¡°Good morning, Li Chengqian. Let¡¯s walk together.¡± Jian Qingli walked over. ¡°You were waiting for me?¡± Li Chengqian was very surprised. Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, this was unprecedented. Li Chengqian had always been the one waiting for her. ¡°Yes, I was waiting for you.¡± Jian Qingli nodded gently, acting especially demure. ¡°What a rare honor! What¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly. Jian Qingli felt extremely hurt. Her eyes were sore, and she even felt like turning and leaving. ¡°You used to wait for me in the past. It¡¯s only normal for me to wait for you now.¡± Jian Qingli swallowed her pride and said to Li Chengqian. ¡°Oh, alright then.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head with a calm expression. He quickly walked downstairs without saying anything else. Downstairs, Ding Ling was already standing there. When she saw Li Chengqian, a bright smile bloomed on her face. However, she immediately felt uncomfortable when she saw Jian Qingli following behind. However, Ding Ling did not show it. She quickly walked to Li Chengqian¡¯s side and stood very close to him. Then, under Li Chengqian¡¯s surprised gaze, she held Li Chengqian¡¯s hand and hugged it to her chest. Ding Ling¡¯s face was flushed, and her heart was racing. However, she had no intention of letting go. Instead, she tightened her grip. Ding Ling looked at Jian Qingli smugly as if she was declaring her sovereignty. When Jian Qingli saw this scene, she gritted her teeth in hatred, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. She was filled with regret. Unfortunately, they can¡¯t go back in time. In the past, Li Chengqian listened to everything she said, but she despised Li Chengqian for not being capable, for not being good at his studies, and for not having a good family. Now that she had seen Li Chengqian¡¯s abilities, just when she was going to ingratiate herself with him, she found that she had been replaced. Although Ding Ling was extremely nervous and her heart was beating wildly, she tried her best to appear nonchalant, ¡°Li Chengqian, Teacher Tian Wenming told me that the preliminary round of the Youth Informatics Programming Competition will be held next Monday. The preliminary round is at Tianbao City¡¯s big data center.¡± ¡°The school will organize a group trip to the venue. Get yourself ready in advance.¡± ¡°Teacher Tian Wenming has arranged to brief us at noon today. I¡¯ll call you when the time comes. Wait for me,¡± Ding Ling gave detailed instructions like a considerate wife. Chapter 49 - 49 Apologizing 2 49 Apologizing 2 ¡°Li Chengqian, have you learned martial arts before?¡± Jian Qingli suddenly asked as they were walking. ¡°I saw everything that happened last night.¡± ¡°Four burly men came to your house to cause trouble, but you defeated them effortlessly. They were so frightened by you that their faces turned pale. You were really impressive last night.¡± Jian Qingli had a look of admiration. ¡°What? Li Chengqian, what happened last night? Why would someone come to your house to find trouble with you? Are you injured?¡± Ding Ling was shocked and asked anxiously. Then, she took a look at Li Chengqian¡¯s body. She heaved a sigh of relief after finding no sign of injuries. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to talk about this matter initially, but when Jian Qingli mentioned it and Ding Ling started asking questions, he explained briefly. ¡°Liu Daqiang¡¯s father, Liu Wendao, wants me to sign a letter of understanding. I refused, and so he got someone to teach me a lesson.¡± ¡°The people who came were all burly. But in fact, they were all weaklings. I scared them away.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very well. They don¡¯t have the ability to hurt me.¡± Li Chengqian said very confidently. ¡°It¡¯s Liu Wendao? I heard rumors in school that last semester, Liu Daqiang had a conflict with a classmate. After he lost the argument, he went home to complain. Liu Wendao was furious and arranged for ten people to beat up this classmate.¡± ¡°Moreover, he arranged for this classmate to be trailed every day after school. After about ten days, that classmate transferred school out of fear.¡± Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian with extreme worry. ¡°Li Chengqian, why don¡¯t we call the police?¡± Ding Ling suggested. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t stand a chance!¡± Li Chengqian sneered. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Ding Ling and Jian Qingli looked puzzled, not understanding what Li Chengqian meant. ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Li Chengqian smiled coldly. His parents were his achilles heel. Whoever laid a finger on his parents would be his mortal enemy. It is hard for one to stay on guard forever. To Li Chengqian, he didn¡¯t care and wasn¡¯t afraid no matter what tricks Liu Wendao used. However, Li Chengqian was worried that Liu Wendao would attack his parents. Therefore, last night, he took the initiative to write a simple program to hack into Liu Wendao¡¯s phone and computer. As such, Li Chengqian got to know Liu Wendao¡¯s plan, which was to pretend to apologize to Li Chengqian today. After obtaining the letter of understanding, he would then create a car accident to kill Li Chengqian and his family. Liu Wendao was planning to kill his entire family! After discovering this plan, Li Chengqian was infuriated. Then, Li Chengqian searched Liu Wendao¡¯s phone and computer. He recovered a large amount of evidence of crimes from Liu Wendao¡¯s hard drive. This evidence was enough to send him to prison together with Liu Daqiang. To get from Li Chengqian¡¯s home to school, they had to pass through an extremely remote path, especially at this time in the morning. There was almost no one on the path. In addition, the trees on both sides of the path were tall and dense, making this path look sinister. At that moment, Liu Wendao stood in the middle of the road, looking visibly upset. The lawyer Zhou Wenwu stood behind him gloomily. Standing beside Zhou Wenwu was President Liang, who had gone to Li Chengqian¡¯s house the night before. The other three people were also there. Other than the six of them, there were more than 20 burly young men who looked like gangsters. They were covered in tattoos and stood behind Liu Wendao. It was a terrifying sight. Some passers-by walked by, and upon seeing the appearance of Liu Wendao and the others, they were so frightened that they quickly turned out of the alley and took a detour elsewhere. Li Chengqian and Ding Ling chatted and laughed as they walked over from the corner. When Ding Ling and Jian Qingli saw this, they were so frightened that their bodies stiffened, and their eyes were filled with fear. Li Chengqian focused his gaze. After seeing this set up, he narrowed his eyes. He pulled his hand away from Ding Ling¡¯s warm hand and said, ¡°Wait for me.¡± Just as Li Chengqian spoke, more than ten burly men suddenly walked over from the street behind them, blocking their escape route. Li Chengqian and the other two were trapped in the alley. Ding Ling and Jian Qingli¡¯s faces were pale and filled with fear. Ding Ling¡¯s voice was woeful. ¡°Li Chengqian, what should we do?¡± When Liu Wendao saw this scene, a smug smile appeared on his face. He strode over with his gang haughtily. ¡°This little bastard is quite popular with women. I thought only the young girl surnamed Ding would come with him. I didn¡¯t expect that even the young girl surnamed Jian would come with him.¡± ¡°Great that you all came together!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that Li Chengqian was very powerful, but with two young girls, would Li Chengqian still dare to mess around?¡± This was why Liu Wendao was so confident. Li Chengqian might mess around alone, but with two burdens, the chances of him messing around were much lower. Moreover, the people he brought today were all good fighters. They were all malevolent. If they really started fighting, could Li Chengqian defeat forty people single handedly? That was impossible. At the thought of this, Liu Wendao became even more confident. ¡°Who are they?¡± Ding Ling asked with a trembling voice. ¡°Liu Wendao! Liu Daqiang¡¯s father!¡± Li Chengqian said in a low voice. He looked solemnly at Liu Wendao, who was coming closer and closer. Just as Liu Wendao thought, he didn¡¯t dare to go all out because Ding Ling and Jian Qingli were here. ¡°Liu Wendao, what do you want?¡± Li Chengqian asked in a low voice when Liu Wendao was only two meters away from the three of them. ¡°Li Chengqian, I don¡¯t have any other intentions. I¡¯m just here to apologize to you,¡± Liu Wendao said with a smile. Although he was apologizing, he didn¡¯t look apologetic at all. Then, Liu Wendao¡¯s tone became commanding. ¡°Also, please sign a letter.¡± ¡°Lawyer Zhou, why are you still standing there? Hurry over and let Li Chengqian sign the document,¡± Liu Wendao yelled suddenly. Ding Ling and Jian Qingli were trembling with fear. Their faces turned ghastly pale as they leaned closer to Li Chengqian. Zhou Wenwu reluctantly stepped forward and handed the letter of understanding to Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll keep my word on the 100,000 I promised you.¡± Liu Wendao clapped his hands and a black bag filled with money was handed to him. He casually threw ten bundles of red banknotes in front of Li Chengqian. ¡°I tried to send the money to you, but you didn¡¯t want it. I¡¯m sorry, butter fingers, now you¡¯ll have to bend down and pick it up.¡± Liu Wendao¡¯s eyes were filled with mockery and smugness. He was out to humiliate Li Chengqian. At the same time, he was also telling Li Chengqian that he was teaching him a lesson! ¡°Li Chengqian, sign it!¡± Liu Wendao¡¯s tone became extremely bossy. As he spoke, the burly young men around him all took a step forward and stared at Li Chengqian and the other two. Ding Ling and Jian Qingli were so frightened that sweat broke out on their foreheads. Their bodies went limp, and they couldn¡¯t help but tremble. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m warning you. If you don¡¯t sign it, don¡¯t blame me for the consequences!¡± Liu Wendao cut to the chase and said arrogantly. ¡°I know you¡¯re capable, but you have to think about your two little girlfriends. They¡¯re not as strong as you. It won¡¯t be good if they get hurt. It would be dreadful if their faces got cut accidentally.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you all agree?¡± Liu Wendao became more and more arrogant as he threatened Li Chengqian loudly. ¡°Hurry up and sign it. I don¡¯t have the patience to play with you. I¡¯ll give you 10 seconds. If you don¡¯t sign it, I¡¯ll make sure you bleed!¡± Liu Wendao raised his hand and looked at his watch. With a cold expression, he started counting down. What he loved to see most was arrogant people capitulating to him. ¡°10¡­¡± ¡°9¡­¡± ¡°8¡­¡± As the countdown continued, Li Chengqian felt immense pressure. ¡°Li Chengqian, why don¡¯t you just sign it. I¡¯m scared.¡± Jian Qingli was so frightened that her beautiful face turned pale. She hid behind Li Chengqian, her voice trembling. Ding Ling held onto Li Chengqian tightly. Although she was also very frightened, she mustered her courage and stood with Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian kept silent and kept staring at Liu Wendao. Liu Wendao¡¯s eyes were filled with smugness and ruthlessness. He looked at Li Chengqian with disdain. President Liang and the other three who had suffered at Li Chengqian¡¯s hands the day before, had smiles on their faces. They were filled with the joy of revenge. ¡°Little brat, you were quite arrogant yesterday. Why aren¡¯t you arrogant now?¡± Chapter 50 - 50 You are Under Arrest 50 You are Under Arrest ¡°5¡­¡± ¡°4¡­¡± Liu Wendao was still counting down slowly, looking at Li Chengqian mockingly. As the countdown came closer and closer to 0, the others were also surging forward. ¡°Liu Wendao, do you feel that everything is under your control?¡± Suddenly, Li Chengqian spoke. He looked at Liu Wendao calmly, without any fear in his eyes. A disdainful smile appeared on Liu Wendao¡¯s face. He felt that Li Chengqian was at his wit¡¯s end and would soon succumb to him. Therefore, he didn¡¯t answer Li Chengqian at all. Instead, he continued to count down. ¡°3¡­¡± ¡°Three years ago, a girl named Yuping died three months after joining the Square Group¡­¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t afraid at all. He looked straight at Liu Wendao. ¡°Two years ago, a migrant worker named Wang Xi broke a leg at a construction site, but there are reports that you personally caused it.¡± ¡°A year ago, there was a quality issue in the Longmen District. Work commenced before any ground surveying was done. An underground karst cave was discovered at one end of the construction site. By then, 30 levels have been constructed. Ground survey reported that the building would definitely collapse in 20 years¡­¡± Liu Wendao wasn¡¯t paying attention to what Li Chengqian said earlier. However, when Yuping¡¯s name was mentioned, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. At the mention of Wang Xi, Liu Wendao¡¯s eyes narrowed and his heart raced. By the time Li Chengqian mentioned the Longmen District, he was already starting to panic. This was because everything that Li Chengqian said had really happened, and he had spent a lot of effort to cover them up. ¡°2¡­¡± Liu Wendao looked calm as he continued to count down. ¡°Liu Wendao, do you think that you¡¯ve covered up flawlessly? Do you think that there¡¯s no evidence now? Do you think that as long as you deny everything, no one can hold you to it?¡± Li Chengqian continued calmly. That was indeed what Liu Wendao was thinking. He had already cleaned up these few matters and left no evidence behind. Even if someone suspected him, no one could do anything to him as long as he vehemently denies everything. ¡°1¡­¡± Liu Wendao didn¡¯t reply and continued to count down. Immediately, everyone surrounded Li Chengqian and the other two. All of them had ferocious expressions on their faces as they rubbed their palms together. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m asking you for the last time. Are you really not going to sign it? Can you really bear to see your two little girlfriends disfigured?¡± Liu Wendao was looking at Jian Qingli and Ding Ling fiercely, and he was smiling sinisterly. ¡°Police! All of you, stop right there. Put your hands on your heads and don¡¯t move!¡± Suddenly, a siren sounded. Then, uniformed police officers rushed in from both ends of the alley. ¡°F*ck, why are the police here!¡± Someone panicked and instinctively tried to escape. However, the walls on both sides of the alley were more than 3 meters high and ordinary people couldn¡¯t climb over them at all. There were armed police officers slowly approaching on both sides. There was no escape. ¡°What is there to panic about? We¡¯re just passing by on our way to the construction site.¡± Liu Wendao forced himself to calm down. He cursed and swore in his heart, ¡°If I find out who called the police, I¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson.¡± He had been watching Li Chengqian and the other two, they didn¡¯t have a chance to call the police. Liu Wendao felt that Li Chengqian and the other two were just lucky. It must have been a passerby who called the police after seeing what had happened in the alley. ¡°Also, I bumped into Li Chengqian on the way. Because of my son¡¯s matter, I apologized to him and asked him to sign a letter of understanding. Is there a problem with that?¡± Liu Wendao continued. He seemed to be spouting nonsense, but in fact, he was trying to get everybody to corroborate his story when they gave the police their statements later. He wanted them to give the same version of the story as him. Everyone present was experienced and naturally understood what Liu Wendao meant. Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up and they said, ¡°There was no issue, no issue at all.¡± ¡°We were on our way to the construction site together. President Liu bumped into Li Chengqian and apologized to him. Then, he asked Li Chengqian to sign a letter of understanding.¡± Then, all of them squatted on the ground obediently with their hands on their heads, looking innocent. Apart from Li Chengqian and the other two, only Liu Wendao stood there. Liu Wendao turned around and glared at Li Chengqian. He said softly, ¡°Little bastard, we are not done yet. I¡¯ll come looking for you soon. Just you wait. Just pray that you¡¯ll be so lucky every time.¡± Li Chengqian laughed heartily. Then, he said something that Liu Wendao couldn¡¯t understand. ¡°You won¡¯t have another chance.¡± Just then, two police officers rushed over and pushed Liu Wendao to the ground. Liu Wendao fell on all fours and grimaced in pain. ¡°Police officer, be gentle, be gentle. I¡¯m Liu Wendao, chairman of the Square Group. I¡¯ll fully cooperate with your work.¡± He was still lamenting his bad luck in his heart. There were so many people present, why did the police choose to detain him first? ¡°Liu Wendao, right? You are under arrest!¡± ¡°You¡¯re under investigation for the suspected murder of Yuping. We¡¯re arresting you in accordance with the law.¡± Liu Wendao was already cuffed from behind, then pulled up by two police officers, one on each side. Upon hearing this, Liu Wendao trembled violently. Suppressing his panic, he said, ¡°Officer, is there a misunderstanding? Yuping¡¯s case was closed a long time ago. She died of alcohol poisoning. It has nothing to do with me.¡± ¡°Liu Wendao, we already have conclusive evidence. You don¡¯t have to quibble anymore,¡± a middle-aged police officer said coldly. This person was none other than Wang Limin, who had gone to the scene of the conflict between Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang. When the people squatting on the ground heard what Wang Limin said, they turned and looked at Liu Wendao in shock. ¡± Li Chengqian, thank you for your help. If it weren¡¯t for the video material you provided, we really wouldn¡¯t have been able to catch him,¡± Wang Limin said politely. In fact, they had long suspected that there was something wrong with Liu Wendao, but they couldn¡¯t find any concrete evidence. When Li Chengqian found the video of Liu Wendao raping and killing Yuping the night before, he immediately contacted Wang Limin and sent him the relevant information. Li Chengqian knew that Liu Wendao would definitely come looking for him. Therefore, he had been on the phone with Wang Limin and shared his location right from the time he woke up in the morning. The plan was to capture Liu Wendao in one fell swoop and not give him any chance to escape. ¡°Moreover, if you hadn¡¯t used yourself as bait this time, it definitely wouldn¡¯t have been so easy for us to arrest and prosecute him.¡± Even Wang Limin was especially impressed by Li Chengqian¡¯s bravery. When Liu Wendao heard what Wang Limin said to Li Chengqian, he was stunned. Then, he looked at Li Chengqian with extreme hatred, wishing he could tear Li Chengqian into pieces. The evidence was provided by Li Chengqian! His location was also provided by Li Chengqian to Wang Limin. It could be said that he was captured all because of Li Chengqian! Right on the heels of that, he felt extremely remorseful. ¡°Why did I provoke someone like Li Chengqian? If I had apologized to him sincerely, things definitely wouldn¡¯t have come to this state. I¡¯m f*cking crazy.¡± Wang Limin thanked Li Chengqian with a solemn expression. ¡°Thank you, Li Chengqian. I¡¯ve reported your situation to my boss. My boss is especially impressed with you. There might be a surprise in the near future.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make a move first. You can go to school.¡± Wang Limin called out to everyone. He first escorted Liu Wendao into the police vehicle, then handcuffed and took everyone away. Before Liu Wendao was escorted into the car, he gave Li Chengqian a vicious look. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care and even waved at Liu Wendao. President Liang and the others were initially haughty and proud, but they now stood there dejected, with their heads hanging. They all evaded Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze. They had already heard the conversation between Li Chengqian and Wang Limin, they knew they could no longer fool them with their story of a chance encounter and an attempted apology. Only now did they realize that they were no match for Li Chengqian. Zhou Wenwu was in an even sorrier state. He was so on the verge of tears as he realized that his lawyer¡¯s license would definitely be revoked. Instantly, Li Chengqian who was cool and calm, and Jian Qingli and Ding Ling who were both still in shock, were left at the scene. The two of them were really frightened, and their hearts were still beating rapidly. logo Chapter 51 - 51 Awesome Li 51 Awesome Li Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief after sending Liu Wendao away. To be honest, after recovering the deleted video from Liu Wendao¡¯s computer hard drive, Li Chengqian was terrified to find out that Liu Wendao was a murderer. He could handle Liu Wendao¡¯s underhand tactics, but his parents were ordinary people, and they were definitely no match for the ruthless Liu Wendao. The moment he saw the video, he made up his mind to report on Liu Wendao. Only then could he be rid of this threat and live in peace. After everyone left, only Li Chengqian and the other two were left at the scene. ¡°Li Chengqian, why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance? I wasn¡¯t mentally prepared at all. I was so terrified just now.¡± Jian Qingli went limp and almost slumped on the ground. She was mad. Ding Ling was also visibly upset about this. She also felt that Li Chengqian was in the wrong this time. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re in the wrong this time. Don¡¯t do it again, or I¡¯ll really be angry,¡± Ding Ling said unhappily. Then, her voice became feeble. She couldn¡¯t help but lean towards Li Chengqian. ¡°Hold me. My legs are weak. I can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, help me up too. I feel that my body is stiff and I¡¯m losing control.¡± Jian Qingli took a step forward and realized that her body was stiff and weak. Her quick reflexes allowed her to hook her arms around Li Chengqian¡¯s neck to prevent herself from falling to the ground. Ding Ling almost cursed out loud when she heard this and saw Jian Qingli leaning against Li Chengqian¡¯s chest. Jian Qingli was both upset and embarrassed. ¡°Li Chengqian, it¡¯s all your fault. If you had told us in advance, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this.¡± Li Chengqian straightened his face and stretched out his arm to help Jian Qingli up. Then, he used one arm to support Jian Qingli. In this way, he could support Jian Qingli¡¯s weight while keeping her at arm¡¯s length. Jian Qingli¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. ¡°This bitch is too mercenary. In the past, when Li Chengqian hid his capabilities, she despised him. Now that Li Chengqian¡¯s results are good and he has become confident and brave, she wants to lean on him again.¡± Ding Ling cursed in her heart. Seeing Li Chengqian take the initiative to distance himself from Jian Qingli, Ding Ling heaved a sigh of relief and was secretly happy. Then, without waiting for Li Chengqian to make a move, she reached out and hugged Li Chengqian¡¯s hand to her chest again. A fulfilling sense of security instantly filled her heart. ¡°Come on, we¡¯re gonna be late.¡± After arriving at school, Li Chengqian applied for leave from Teacher Wang and went straight to the school library. He was not carrying any books in his bag, but a laptop. Classes now were meaningless to him. He had already perfected his Senior High School, Junior High School, and Elementary School Knowledge skills. In terms of experience value points, the experience value points gained from programming was slightly more than from attending class. In addition, he also wanted to quickly complete the Divine Dragon Optimization software. Last night, he had spent half the night developing the Data Restoration software, researching online protocols, and collecting evidence of Liu Wendao¡¯s crimes. He didn¡¯t get round to writing the codes he had planned to write at all. ¡­ Lesson had just ended in Class 5 of Grade 12. As soon as Teacher Wang Jianjia stepped out of the classroom, a chubby fatty who was about 1.7 meters tall rushed in from outside. He was wearing a white sports t-shirt, and his hair was naturally curly. ¡°Chen Chunan, where¡¯s Li Chengqian from your class?¡± The little fatty glanced around and realized that Li Chengqian was not around. He began to ask the students he knew. ¡°Dapeng, why are you looking for Li Chengqian?¡± Chen Chunan raised his head and asked curiously. The little fatty¡¯s name was Zhao Peng. He was studying in Grade 12 Class 2 and was Chen Chunan¡¯s junior high school classmate. The two of them were considered friends. They often invited each other to play LOL after school. Although the two of them were noobs, they were especially addicted. ¡°Chunan, breaking news! Li Chengqian from your class has done something serious.¡± The little fatty¡¯s eyes lit up as he said urgently. ¡°What is it?¡± Chen Chunan became even more curious. ¡°Do you know Liu Wendao, president of the Square Group? He¡¯s Liu Daqiang¡¯s father,¡± the little fatty said mysteriously. ¡°He was arrested this morning too!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Liu Wendao very well connected? It¡¯s said that he¡¯s the wealthiest man in Tianyi City. How did he get caught?¡± Chen Chunan was surprised. Because of Liu Daqiang, he had also heard of Liu Wendao. In his eyes, Liu Wendao was a big shot, someone who was untouchable. ¡°Liu Wendao had killed someone. It was Li Chengqian who provided the crucial evidence. It was also Li Chengqian who helped the police capture Liu Wendao. I heard from my uncle that the city police department has applied to award Li Chengqian with a provincial medal for bravery. This medal can add 20 points to the university entrance examination.¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s eyes were filled with envy. If he could get an extra 20 points, he would definitely be admitted to a key university. ¡°What? An extra 20 points?¡± Chen Chunan¡¯s eyes widened as he turned green with envy. Twenty marks makes a big difference in the university entrance examination. It could put one ahead of thousands of people. ¡°What a waste. Li Chengqian can score full marks. The extra marks make no difference to him. It¡¯s a waste to give it to him. It would be great if these 20 marks were given to me.¡± When the students heard what Zhao Peng said, their faces were filled with envy. ¡°Li Chengqian is really awesome!¡± ¡°If Li Chengqian scored full marks in university entrance examination, and together with these extra 20 marks, do you think his results will reach 770 marks?¡± A classmate suddenly said. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, Tianyi High School will be famous!¡± ¡°770 marks! This is definitely the highest university entrance examination score ever.¡± ¡°It is more perfect than scoring full marks. Amazing, too amazing! In the future, I don¡¯t think we should call him Li Chengqian. We should just call him Awesome Li.¡± A classmate joked and then laughed loudly. His laughter was filled with envy and jealousy. ¡°Dapeng, did you come to our class to look for me to talk about this?¡± Chen Chunan asked after everyone had quietened down. ¡°No, I came here to talk to Li Chengqian about something. I talked about the extra points just to gossip a little. I wanted to let you know how awesome Li Chengqian is,¡± Zhao Peng said casually. ¡°Tsk! When the results of the second mock exam were announced, I already knew that he was impressive and awesome. Do I need you to tell me this? I know you too well, you¡¯re a lazy person, why would you come over if it¡¯s not something important for you? Cut the bullsh*t, tell me honestly, what exactly is it?¡± Chen Chunan said disdainfully. ¡°I came to look for Li Chengqian about something. It¡¯s quite urgent. Do you know where he went?¡± Zhao Peng smiled and continued. He was usually a lazy bum, but at critical moments, he knew what to say and what not to say. He couldn¡¯t reveal for now what he wanted to talk to Li Chengqian about. ¡°Li Chengqian took leave to go to the library. He¡¯s preparing for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition next week.¡± Chen Chunan told Zhao Peng what he knew. Suddenly, something came to his mind and he asked curiously, ¡°By the way, I remember that you also participated in the test organized by Teacher Tian Wenming. How did you do? Did you qualify?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t wanna talk about it. Twenty-one people took the test. I was 19th.¡± Zhao Peng looked like he really wanted to put this behind him. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s play a round of LOL after school. I¡¯ll go look for Li Chengqian first. It¡¯s really a little urgent.¡± Zhao Peng was ready to leave now that he had received the most critical information. ¡°Come on, you are came in third last, why beat around the bush?¡± Chen Chunan joked. ¡°Has anyone told you how obnoxious you are? We can still be friends if you can keep your mouth shut. I¡¯m leaving, no time for small talk!¡± Zhao Peng also joked. Then, he waved his hand casually and rushed to the library. He had got a tip-off from his uncle, who worked at the city police station. Now, he was going to discuss with Li Chengqian and try to get the last spot in Li Chengqian¡¯s team. ¡°Uncle said that Li Chengqian¡¯s computer skills are especially good. He¡¯s even better than the police station¡¯s Internet Security department. If he joins Li Chengqian¡¯s team to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, the chances of him obtaining a ranking are very high.¡± ¡°Uncle said that Li Chengqian spent less than a night to develop the Data Restoration software that was used to recover Liu Wendao¡¯s computer and phone data. It¡¯s even better than the software that the station spent more than three million yuan to buy. The experts at the municipal bureau now worship Li Chengqian like he was god. He also heard that the municipal bureau is having internal discussions to buy from Li Chengqian the right to use the software .¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang is not in the same league as Li Chengqian.¡± As Zhao Peng walked towards the library, he happened to see Bi Jialiang walking over with a confident smile. ¡°Bi Jialiang should be on his way to look for Jian Qingli! Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang are teammates¡­¡± Thinking of this, Zhao Peng thought of a rumor that he heard. It was rumored that Li Chengqian had invited Jian Qingli to join his team, but Jian Qingli mocked him. ¡°Fortunately, Jian Qingli didn¡¯t agree to join Li Chengqian. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have had a chance at all.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a rumor in school about Bi Jialiang, Jian Qingli, and Li Chengqian. A rumor about one man and two women¡­¡± As he thought about it, Zhao Peng¡¯s thoughts went wild. Chapter 52 - 52 Software 65% Completed 52 Software 65% Completed Outside Grade 12 Class 5, Bi Jialiang was especially excited when he asked Jian Qingli to step out. ¡°Jian Qingli, this is what had happened, Teacher Tian Wenming found a particularly good teacher for us in Tianbao City and arranged for us to go for one-to-one special training.¡± ¡°This person is a classmate of Teacher Tian Wenming. His name is He Jingguo. He has a PhD in Computer Science and is currently teaching at Qianling University.¡± ¡°Teacher Tian Wenming asked us to go straight to Tianbao City today.¡± There were two things that excited Bi Jialiang. The first was that they had a powerful teacher to train them. His standards would definitely improve, and his chances of entering the top 50 would be much higher. The second and most important point was to go to Tianbao City with Jian Qingli in advance. A man and a woman together in a strange place. This was the best way to get closer to her. Although Jian Qingli was close to him, up until now, he had not even had the chance to hold Jian Qingli¡¯s hand. He could only fantasize about their relationship. He might be able to bring their relationship to the next level on this trip. He might be able to hold Jian Qingli¡¯s hand. ¡°Is that so? Then I need to talk to my mother first and see what she says.¡± Jian Qingli didn¡¯t seem too excited. She replied calmly and then pretended to ask casually, ¡°Where are Li Chengqian and the others? Are they going too?¡± ¡°Teacher Tian Wenming didn¡¯t say.¡± Bi Jialiang felt uncomfortable when Li Chengqian¡¯s name was mentioned. The thought of 750 marks gave him too much pressure. He felt inferior whenever he thought of Li Chengqian¡¯s 750 marks. ¡°But I think Li Chengqian probably won¡¯t have a chance to go. While he is very good with theory, his practical experience is very poor. Dr. He¡¯s training is very high level, without a certain amount of practical experience, it¡¯s useless to go.¡± He became confident when he talked about practical experience. In his impression, Li Chengqian was still clumsily learning to type a few days ago. Moreover, he was addicted to typing games and couldn¡¯t seem to stop playing. This was the typical behavior of a person who had just come into contact with computers. ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Jian Qingli had a faint smile on her face, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. We¡¯ve confirmed another member of our team today. His name is He Hongyun. He just transferred to our school. I heard that he¡¯s very skilled, but he¡¯s very arrogant.¡± ¡°I heard from Teacher Tian Wenming that He Hongyun is Dr. He¡¯s son.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to He Hongyun that we have the chance to participate in the special training in Tianbao this time.¡± Bi Jialiang was in high spirits as he shared whatever he thought was worth sharing with Jian Qingli. Jian Qingli was not very interested initially, but when she heard this, she was finally intrigued. ¡°How does He Hongyun¡¯s skills compare to yours?¡± ¡°Teacher Tian said that he¡¯s better than me, but we¡¯ll have to give it a try to know his true level. I think his level should be about the same as mine at most.¡± Bi Jialiang looked unconvinced. He was very confident in computer technology. Even if He Hongyun¡¯s father was a computer science professor, he might not be better than him. ¡°This is a good thing! This way, our chances of entering the top 50 will be even higher.¡± After Jian Qingli heard this, her eyes lit up. Since the two of them were about the same level, they would make good teammates during the competition, it would be much better than fighting alone. Jian Qingli had already tested the waters with Li Chengqian. He had no intention of letting her join the team at all. This made her resentful. Therefore, the stronger the team was now, the happier she was. It would be best if her team was stronger than Li Chengqian¡¯s. Her team would surpass his team in every competition and cut him down to size. She would show Li Chengqian that he wasn¡¯t the only clever person on earth. ¡°Teacher Tian said so too. The probability of us getting into the top 50 in the country is very high.¡± Bi Jialiang smiled with pride in his eyes. He was just short of saying to Jian Qingli, ¡°I¡¯m awesome, right? I¡¯m the best choice for you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Jian Qingli also smiled. This time, it was a genuine smile. ¡°Jian Qingli, I think you¡¯ve been very unhappy these past few days. Did Li Chengqian show off in front of you that he scored 750 marks?¡± Seeing that Jian Qingli finally relaxed and smiled, Bi Jialiang asked the question he had been wanting to ask. ¡°No.¡± Jian Qingli shook her head. Li Chengqian had never mentioned his score. ¡°Jian Qingli, you have to think about it this way. Li Chengqian was indeed capable to have scored 750 marks and enrol in Divine Dragon University!¡± Bi Jialiang wouldn¡¯t dare to deny this. He changed the topic. ¡°But we won¡¯t be inferior to him.¡± ¡°As long as we work hard in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition and get into the top 50 in the country, we can still go to Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°When you think about it this way, you¡¯ll think that we¡¯re better than Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°Because he can¡¯t help others, but we can.¡± Although Bi Jialiang said ¡®we¡¯, he was actually expressing that he was powerful. He could bring Jian Qingli to Divine Dragon University, but Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t! He was telling Jian Qingli in a roundabout way that although his results were not as good as Li Chengqian¡¯s, he was better than Li Chengqian in other aspects! ¡°Okay!¡± Jian Qingli nodded. She understood what Bi Jialiang meant, but she didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡­ In the library, Li Chengqian stopped his rapid typing on the keyboard and looked out the window at the greenery in the distance, allowing his eyes to rest. The feeling of short-sightedness was so uncomfortable. In order to prevent short-sightedness again, Li Chengqian strictly followed the 3-20 rule of using his eyes to protect himself. Use your eyes for no more than 20 minutes at close range, rest your eyes every 20 minutes, look into the distance of 20 feet (about 6 meters), and relax your eyes for 20 seconds. (I suggest that readers do the same, especially the younger ones. Protect your eyes¡­) This way, after his eyes were fully rested, it would not be so easy for him to be short-sighted again. After resting, his gaze returned to the programming codes of Shenlong optimization software on the computer. [Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate: 65%!] A translucent notification that only he could see appeared. ¡°If I was able to code properly last night, I would have been able to push the completion rate of the Shenlong Optimization software to 95% today.¡± ¡°Based on this rate, I will only be able to complete the beta version of the software on Sunday.¡± Li Chengqian did a metal calculation and came to this conclusion. ¡°After I take on the Software Engineer profession, coding would be a breeze.¡± Li Chengqian recalled that in his previous life, in the Master of all Professions game, the first skill of a Software Engineer was called Mental Coding. The faster one¡¯s thoughts were, the faster one could write codes. ¡°I should just focus on completing the Divine Dragon Optimization software for now.¡± Li Chengqian immediately felt motivated again when he thought of the rapid input ability of the Mental Coding skill. His fingers started moving rapidly on the keyboard again. At this moment, Zhao Peng walked in from outside, panting. When he came to Li Chengqian¡¯s side and saw Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers typing rapidly, he was stunned. Then, he saw that on the computer screen, in just a breath¡¯s time, more than ten long lines of code had been typed out by Li Chengqian on the blank page. Lines of code quickly scrolled up. The speed at which Li Chengqian typed was even faster than he could read. ¡°F*ck, this typing speed is too impressive! If he were to play an esports game, he would beat anyone flat.¡± His jaws dropped when he saw this. ¡°How did Li Chengqian manage to develop such dexterity? Could it be that he worked in a beauty salon?¡± Chapter 53 - 53 Teammate 53 Teammate Zhao Peng waited for twenty minutes before Li Chengqian stopped. In these twenty minutes, Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers didn¡¯t stop at all. He wrote a total of 225 lines of code. Although Zhao Peng wasn¡¯t very good technically, he knew the programming speed of programmers. As long as he could write 100 lines of effective code a day, he was already at the level of a world-class programmer. In the past 20 minutes, Li Chengqian had written 225 lines of code. He was already twice as good as a world-class programmer. What made Zhao Peng even more amazed was that in 20 minutes, Li Chengqian actually didn¡¯t make a single correction. This meant that Li Chengqian was especially confident that his coding was flawless. Of course, there was another possibility, which was that Li Chengqian was simply blindly coding. If he hadn¡¯t heard about Li Chengqian¡¯s Data Restoration software and what happened with Liu Wendao, Zhao Peng would definitely have thought that Li Chengqian was blindly coding. Now, he only had one feeling, and that was to concede defeat! He was indeed awesome! ¡°Hello, Li Chengqian. I¡¯m Zhao Peng from Grade 12 Class 2. I¡­¡± Seeing Li Chengqian stop, Zhao Peng quickly introduced himself. ¡°May I ask if your team is still short of one person? May I join your team?¡± Zhao Peng asked with an expectant look. ¡°How did you know about me? Why do you wish to join my team? What can you do after joining my team?¡± Li Chengqian asked curiously. ¡°I knew you when you scored full marks,¡± Zhao Peng answered honestly. Because he scored full marks, the entire province¡¯s third-year students would probably remember Li Chengqian¡¯s name. ¡°I want to join your team because I know that your skills are very good. If I join your team and follow you, I¡¯ll definitely be able to enter the top 50, a lousy student like me would also be able to enter Divine Dragon University.¡± Zhao Peng was very honest and straightforward. ¡°You know that my skills are good? How do you know?¡± Li Chengqian became serious. Other than Officer Wang Limin, he didn¡¯t seem to have revealed his programming skills to anyone. At this point in time, only the relevant personnel at the Municipal Bureau knew that his skills were not bad. How did this little fatty know? ¡°My uncle is in the Internet Security department of the Municipal Bureau. He was the one who told me,¡± Zhao Peng said nervously. ¡°Oh, so I see.¡± Li Chengqian suddenly understood. This way, it made sense. Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then tell me now, what can you do?¡± ¡°My¡­ hand speed is relatively fast. I can be your assistant. I also have a better understanding of where to eat and what to do in Tianbao City. I can be in charge of both aspects.¡± Zhao Peng had initially wanted to say that his programming skills were not bad, but when he thought of Li Chengqian¡¯s skills, he really couldn¡¯t bring himself to say so. Compared to Li Chengqian, his skills were too lousy. ¡°Hand speed is relatively fast?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes lit up, and a very good idea came to him. Don¡¯t get the wrong idea. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any bad intentions. He just wanted Zhao Peng to become his input tool and help him share the workload. ¡°How¡¯s your typing speed?¡± Li Chengqian continued to ask. ¡°About 100 Chinese characters per minute if I take into consideration accuracy,¡± Zhao Peng answered honestly. This typing speed was all because of his gaming. Li Chengqian did a mental calculation. If this speed was used to enter codes, he should be able to enter 150 characters in a minute. ¡°Have you learned C language?¡± Li Chengqian continued to ask. ¡°I¡¯ve learned it before. I obtained a C Language Level Two Certificate last year,¡± Zhao Peng answered honestly. He realized that he was even more nervous when facing Li Chengqian than when facing a teacher. His usual cheeky smile had completely disappeared. ¡°Sit down and show me what you¡¯ve got!¡± Zhao Peng sat down excitedly. Although Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t explicitly agreed, asking him to sit down and give it a try meant that he had got one foot in the door. ¡°Don¡¯t do this rubbish. I¡¯ll read, and you¡¯ll type.¡± Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the computer, and his fingers started moving again. He dictated the codes for Zhao Peng to type as he kept writing them. ¡°Awesome, too awesome! As expected of Awesome Li! Is he even human?¡± Zhao Peng was stunned by his performance. Three hours later¡­ [Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate: 75%!] Compared to this morning, the completion rate had increased by 10%. Li Chengqian looked at the completion rate displayed on the Divine Dragon and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°With some help, the efficiency has increased a lot.¡± He completed 8% and Zhao Peng completed 2%. If Zhao Peng kept helping him, the software would be completed on Saturday instead of Sunday. Li Chengqian packed up his computer and walked out of the library in high spirits. Zhao Peng followed behind Li Chengqian. His face was pale, and his eyes were listless. He was totally drained and exhausted. His hair and face were covered in grease, as if he had been gruesomely tortured. Even when he walked, Zhao Peng was trembling. He looked like he had been drained of all his energy. ¡°If you¡¯re too tired, go back and rest first. I¡¯ll tell Teacher Tian Wenming about you joining our team,¡± Li Chengqian said, feeling sorry for him. ¡°Captain, I¡¯m not tired! I¡¯ll go to Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s office with you.¡± Zhao Peng straightened his back and forced himself to speak. At noon today, Teacher Tian Wenming was going to announce the participants list. Zhao Peng had to go and see if his name was on the list before he could be at ease. At such a critical moment, he had to persevere no matter how tired he was. If there were any unexpected developments, he could at least resolve it. ¡°Beast, he¡¯s simply a beast. He is good in his studies, good in his skills, and even his stamina is so good. We are nothing compared to him!¡± Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s energetic appearance, Zhao Peng turned green with envy. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry. Teacher Tian doesn¡¯t know my skills and doesn¡¯t think highly of me.¡± ¡°Therefore, he basically won¡¯t care about this team. He won¡¯t care if you join my team.¡± ¡°Everyone¡¯s focus is on Bi Jialiang¡¯s team now.¡± Li Chengqian instantly understood what Zhao Peng was worried about. To put it bluntly, everyone felt that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any hope of getting into the top 50 in the country, so they didn¡¯t care much about the remaining spot in Li Chengqian¡¯s team. What everyone cared about was the remaining spot in Bi Jialiang¡¯s team. In their opinion, Bi Jialiang had a chance of entering the top 50. As long as he joined Bi Jialiang¡¯s team, there was a high chance that he would be qualified to study at Divine Dragon University without having to take the entrance exam. In the past few days, other than Jian Qingli who wanted to join Li Chengqian¡¯s team, only Zhao Peng asked to join his team. It was impossible for him to allow Jian Qingli to join! Li Chengqian would only make her watch him win the championship, there was no way he would bring her into his team to win the championship together. Zhao Peng spoke sincerely and was not dislikable. He had also been rather obedient so far. In addition, Zhao Peng¡¯s relative was at the Municipal Bureau. After much consideration, Li Chengqian decided to let Zhao Peng join his team. In any case, it would be a waste not to add Zhao Peng. Because no one felt that he would achieve much in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. ¡°That¡¯s because they¡¯re blind and don¡¯t know how powerful you are, Captain. If the people in the school knew about your skills, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to get this spot so easily.¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. He wasn¡¯t pretending at all. He had truly witnessed Li Chengqian¡¯s prowess in the past three hours! Most of the codes Li Chengqian read out was difficult programming. There were very few C-language codes. Although he typed in the codes, he didn¡¯t actually understand the specific meaning at all. Although he had worked with Li Chengqian for three hours, he still didn¡¯t understand what Li Chengqian was writing and what it was for. ¡°When the results of this Junior Informatics Programming Competition are out, those who don¡¯t believe you now will definitely be so shocked that their jaws will drop to the ground and they will regret it.¡± Zhao Peng was extremely confident about this. Then, Zhao Peng said firmly, ¡°Captain, don¡¯t stop me. I have to go to Teacher Tian¡¯s office. I won¡¯t be at ease if I don¡¯t see my name reported. This is the admission ticket to Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°Alright, I had wanted you to go back and take a nap, so that we can continue writing codes in the afternoon.¡± ¡°If you are not going to take a rest, we¡¯ll go back to the library to continue after signing up at Teacher Tian¡¯s place,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°What?¡± Zhao Peng was dumbfounded. His entire body trembled. He almost cried. ¡°Captain, you¡¯re still writing codes?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Li Chengqian replied without turning his head. ¡°Captain, in that case you have to at least tell me what this software does, right?¡± Zhao Peng accepted his fate. ¡°An Android app.¡± Chapter 54 - 54 Taking Leave 54 Taking Leave In Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s office, the two teams from Tianyi High School sat on the sofas on both sides. On Li Chengqian¡¯s side, only Ding Ling came first. After Li Chengqian came over, she saw Zhao Peng following behind. Ding Ling asked curiously, ¡°Li Chengqian, who is he?¡± ¡°You must be Ding Ling, right? My name is Zhao Peng. I¡¯m a new member of your team.¡± Obviously, Zhao Peng had done a lot of work before looking for Li Chengqian. He knew about Ding Ling. ¡°En.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°Ding Ling, his programming ability is not bad. His typing speed is also quite fast. He¡¯s an okay fellow.¡± ¡°Welcome!¡± Ding Ling replied expressionlessly. Other than when she was facing Li Chengqian, she was very cold at other times. She was actually very happy with Zhao Peng¡¯s participation, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. In fact, she was even happier because of Zhao Peng¡¯s participation. After Zhao Peng joined, the team was full. It was impossible for Jian Qingli to join again. Opposite them, Jian Qingli, who was sitting on the sofa, gritted her teeth in hatred after hearing their conversation. She had told Li Chengqian several times that she wanted to join his team, but he had mercilessly rejected her. Li Chengqian had now actually accepted a loser like this little fatty into the team! Too much, he was too much. The more Jian Qingli thought about it, the more angrier she became. ¡°Although Li Chengqian said that he has the confidence to enter the top 50 in the province, it¡¯s still unknown if he can do it or not. It¡¯s actually not too bad to follow Bi Jialiang and the other two.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if Li Chengqian¡¯s team is eliminated in the preliminary round!¡± ¡°This is the only way to put him back in his place.¡± ¡°Otherwise, he is so cocky now. I really feel like slapping him whenever I see him.¡± Thinking of Li Chengqian¡¯s dejected look, Jian Qingli¡¯s mood couldn¡¯t help but improve a lot. At this moment, a tall and thin boy with a pale face and dark circles around his eyes was sitting closest to Teacher Tian Wenming. He was wearing black shirt with a pair of blue jeans. When Li Chengqian came in, he glanced at Li Chengqian from the corner of his eyes. Then, he shifted his gaze to the book in his hand, ¡°30-day homemade operating system¡±. He had recently discovered this book. It was very difficult, but it was very inspiring to him! Every chapter was obscure and difficult to understand, he had to read it repeatedly. He had heard of Li Chengqian before. He was a high flyer who scored 750 marks in the second mock exam. However, He Hongyun was extremely confident. Although he was inferior to Li Chengqian in terms of textbook results, he was confident that he was way better than Li Chengqian in terms of programming. In Li Chengqian¡¯s case, when he first transferred to Tianyi High School, Tian Wenming had specially told him that his theoretical knowledge was especially solid, but he had almost no hands-on experience. ¡°No wonder he could score full marks. He¡¯s just a bookworm who only knows how to regurgitate texts.¡± He instantly wrote off Li Chengqian as an opponent. Seeing that everyone was here, Tian Wenming looked around seriously. ¡°I asked everyone to gather here today to talk about three things.¡± ¡°Firstly, He Hongyun has joined Bi Jialiang¡¯s team to participate in this competition. He Hongyun has been exposed to computing since he was young. His programming proficiency is very high. He has contributed codes to the Linux desktop in the open source community and developed some minor software himself.¡± ¡°His participation can greatly increase the possibility of your team entering the top 50 in the province.¡± When He Hongyunn was being introduced by Tian Wenming, he put down the book in his hand with a proud expression and a proud smile on his face. He only nodded and didn¡¯t say a word . That to him, was a good enough greeting for everyone. Tian Wenming felt a headache when he saw He Hongyun¡¯s proud behavior, but he couldn¡¯t say anything. Then, he glanced at Zhao Peng, who was sitting beside Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, I see that your team has also added a new member. You should also introduce him to everyone.¡± ¡°Grade 12 Class 2, Zhao Peng, my team member. He¡¯s good at typing and is very fast. He can help me.¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and introduced everyone. A good typist. What kind of introduction was this! Zhao Peng¡¯s expression turned awkward. He thought to himself, ¡°Awesome Li thinks I¡¯m just a typing machine.¡± ¡°Pfft¡­!¡± Jian Qingli was amused by the introduction. This was not a typing competition. What was the use of typing quickly? ¡°What the¡­ What¡¯s the connection between fast typing and good computing skills?¡± Bi Jialiang rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian. ¡°Haha¡­¡± He Hongyun had a mocking expression on his face. ¡°It looks like Li Chengqian¡¯s actual combat skills are very poor. He thinks a person who can type faster is considered to be good. One can only imagine his own standards.¡± Then, he lowered his head to read his book and stopped looking at Zhao Peng. Even the corners of Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes twitched because of Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction. ¡°Teacher, and all the students, my name is Zhao Peng. I hope to learn from everyone in the future. Actually, other than what Li Chengqian siad, my C language is quite good. Last year, I obtained a Level 2 Computing Certificate in C language.¡± Zhao Peng hurriedly introduced himself humbly. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never give Li Chengqian a chance to introduce him again. Ridiculous, simply ridiculous! He Hongyun lowered his head to read his book and did not look at Zhao Peng. Because of Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction, Jian Qingli and Bi Jialiang had preconceived notions and did not pay much attention to Zhao Peng¡¯s introduction. The Level 2 Computing Certificate was a very basic level certification. The entry criteria for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition was higher than Level 2. ¡°Alright, Zhao Peng, take a seat first. I¡¯ll talk about the second matter.¡± Seeing that Zhao Peng was a little embarrassed, Teacher Tian Wenming spoke. ¡°The preliminary round of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will be held at the provincial Big Data Center at nine o¡¯clock next Monday morning. I¡¯m going to collect my admission ticket on Sunday afternoon. I¡¯m preparing to leave for the Provincial Capital this afternoon. What do you think?¡± He wanted to bring the team for Dr. He¡¯s training first. Moreover, there was another benefit of going in advance, which was that he could familiarize himself with the examination environment. ¡°We¡¯re fine,¡± Bi Jialiang replied excitedly. He secretly sized up the beautiful Jian Qingli, and his heart was palpitating. ¡°Teacher, I still have something on and can¡¯t leave. I¡¯ll go look for you guys on Sunday. What do you think?¡± Li Chengqian raised his hand and voiced his thoughts. The head of the Municipal Bureau¡¯s Internet Security department had sent him a message, asking him to go to the Municipal Bureau today to help restore the data of a hard disk. He had already agreed, so he naturally couldn¡¯t go back on his word. ¡°Li Chengqian, wait for me to tell you the third matter. You can then decide if you want to go with me today.¡± Tian Wenming did not agree immediately. Instead, he came to the third matter. ¡°Thirdly, I¡¯ve found a big shot to train you in Tianbao City. His name is He Jingguo. He has a PhD in Computer Science and his standards are exceptionally high. He¡¯s currently a professor in the Computer Science Department of Qianling University.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve made an appointment with him. I¡¯ve asked him to train you guys for two days, starting Saturday morning and ending Sunday afternoon. It would be a pity to miss it.¡± ¡°I believe that after his training, your standards will improve immensely. The chances of winning an award in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will also increase greatly,¡± Tian Wenming looked at Li Chengqian and said. Naturally, he would not exclude Li Chengqian from the training as Bi Jialiang thought. After all, they were all his students. When they had sufficient resources, they naturally treated everyone equally. Although he also felt that Li Chengqian was a beginner and he had a weak foundation in actual combat operations, he might not understand Dr. He¡¯s class. It wouldn¡¯t be very productive for him to attend the course. However, Tian Wenming still hoped that Li Chengqian would attend and learn. He Hongyun, who was disdainful of others, became even more arrogant when he heard Tian Wenming mention He Jingguo. After looking around proudly, his gaze landed on the book again. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m really sorry. I really need to apply for leave from you.¡± To Li Chengqian, any training was meaningless to him. His standard was definitely higher than the so-called Professor He. It was a waste of time to go. In addition, he had already promised to help restore the data, so he couldn¡¯t go back on his word. Moreover, his work on the Divine Dragon Optimization software was at the end stage. He wanted to complete the software as soon as possible so that he can join the Software Engineer profession. To him, this was the real deal. Everything else was secondary. ¡°He really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him! My father is a big shot. It¡¯s his honor to be able to participate in my father¡¯s training. He doesn¡¯t even cherish such a precious opportunity. Li Chengqian is a stupid idiot! Serves him right for being eliminated in the preliminary round.¡± He Hongyun frowned and looked at Li Chengqian very unhappily. From the moment Li Chengqian came in, this was the first time he looked Li Chengqian in the eye. ¡°Li Chengqian simply doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. Teacher Tian Wenming has already said so, but Li Chengqian still insists on taking leave. He really doesn¡¯t cherish such a rare opportunity. For a big shot like Dr. He to be able to give us training, he¡¯s simply doing Teacher Tian Wenming a favor.¡± Bi Jialiang thought to himself. ¡°Perhaps Li Chengqian is too full of himself now that he has scored full marks in the second mock exam. He doesn¡¯t even respect Teacher Tian anymore.¡± ¡°Or perhaps, Li Chengqian knows that his hands-on skill is not good, so it¡¯s pointless to attend the class. That¡¯s why he doesn¡¯t want to go.¡± The more Bi Jialiang thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility of the latter was very high. ¡°It¡¯s just as well that Li Chengqian isn¡¯t going, this way he won¡¯t affect my time alone with Jian Qingli¡­¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s heart was beating rapidly. Li Chengqian was insistent on applying for leave. A strange look flashed across Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes. ¡°Teacher, I also want to apply for leave¡­¡± Chapter 55 - 55 Perfecting the Data Restoration Software 55 Perfecting the Data Restoration Software Bi Jialiang immediately felt extremely disappointed when he heard Jian Qingli say that she wanted to apply for leave too. He was looking forward to going to Tianbao City for training mainly because he wanted to be alone with Jian Qingli. He was hyped up the entire morning because of this. And now Jian Qingli has actually said that she wasn¡¯t going! His hopes were dashed and his mood instantly fell. ¡°Teacher Tian, I¡¯m also taking leave¡­¡± Ding Ling was following Li Chengqian. Moreover, she didn¡¯t know programming, so it would be a waste of time to go for training. ¡°Teacher Tian, I also have something on and need to apply for leave. When the time comes, Li Chengqian and I will look for you.¡± Zhao Peng thought for a moment and also asked for leave. Teacher Tian Wenming didn¡¯t say much and agreed right away. ¡°Alright, I approve.¡± ¡°But remember my instructions. You must be in Tianbao City before 3 p.m. on Sunday. Be careful on the way and stay out of trouble.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all. Those who applied for leave can go eat first. He Hongyun, Bi Jialiang, you two stay behind.¡± Tian Wenming waved his hand, indicating that Li Chengqian and the others could leave. ¡°They don¡¯t even cherish such an opportunity, they are not ambitious at all!¡± He Hongyun was especially upset. He felt offended that Li Chengqian and the others took leave. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because that bastard Li Chengqian took the lead in applying for leave that the others took leave!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of that bastard Li Chengqian.¡± The more He Hongyun thought about it, the angrier he became. He stopped reading and was filled with disgust for Li Chengqian from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Sigh.¡± Because Jian Qingli had applied for leave, Bi Jialiang was not in a good mood. He sighed. Moreover, he had a horrible suspicion. ¡°Jian Qingli applied for leave because of Li Chengqian.¡± This thought made Bi Jialiang feel sad and depressed. ¡°In this competition, I must be better than Li Chengqian! I want to prove to Jian Qingli that I¡¯m very good, better than Li Chengqian.¡± ¡­ In the afternoon, Li Chengqian took his hands off the computer keyboard. [Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate: 87%!] Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the programming documents on the computer. He stretched and said to the tired Zhao Peng, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat first. We¡¯ll continue after we¡¯ve eaten¡­¡± Hearing the word ¡®eat¡¯, Zhao Peng immediately perked up, but Li Chengqian¡¯s words made him shiver. ¡°Captain, are you still going to continue?¡± Zhao Peng was on the verge of tears. He didn¡¯t want to be a mindless input robot. ¡°I¡¯m just teasing you. That¡¯s all for today. We¡¯ll continue tomorrow.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the sullen Zhao Peng and shook his head. After leaving Teacher Tian¡¯s place, Li Chengqian called Zhao Peng to the library to help him enter the codes into the computer. Zhao Peng even skipped the afternoon classes. ¡°Learn programming from me and focus on the competition. You will gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University¡­ Why would you still need to attend classes?¡± After Li Chengqian said this, Zhao Peng could only grit his teeth and work for Li Chengqian. Zhao Peng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn¡¯t have to be an input robot for Li Chengqian today. Afraid that Li Chengqian would change his mind, he rushed out of the library like a rabbit. ¡°Captain, I still have something on. I¡¯ll leave first. I won¡¯t be eating together with you.¡± Li Chengqian laughed at his mannerism. ¡°It¡¯s just writing codes, why is he so terrified?¡± After resting for two minutes, Li Chengqian focussed his attention on the chat window. Qin Datong from the Municipal Bureau Internet Security department had been asking him questions about the Data Restoration software. There were a few cases where the Municipal Bureau was unable to prosecute the suspect because they couldn¡¯t retrieve critical evidence from a faulty hard disk. They clearly knew who the suspect was, but because they didn¡¯t have any concrete evidence, they could only let the suspect go. The Municipal Bureau and the investigation officer were especially upset about this. They also have engaged data restoration experts, but after repeated attempts, they still couldn¡¯t manage to retrieve the data. The Data Restoration software developed by Li Chengqian gave Qin Datong hope. Qin Datong asked Li Chengqian for the software in the morning as he wanted to test its functions. Then, he was dumbfounded. He found that he didn¡¯t know how to operate this software at all. This was because the Data Restoration software developed by Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have an interface at all. After opening it, there was only a black operating interface similar to a command line interface. There weren¡¯t any user prompts on this interface either. He tried the CMD command. It didn¡¯t work. There weren¡¯t even any prompts. Although he majored in programming in university, he had no clue how to use this software. He could only concede that he didn¡¯t know how to use this software at all! ¡°Li Chengqian, can you write down the instructions for using this software?¡± Qin Datong had no choice but to ask Li Chengqian for help. The original purpose of this software was to restore the data on Liu Wendao¡¯s computer hard disk. Therefore, Li Chengqian¡¯s sole purpose was speed. He wasn¡¯t expecting anyone else to use it, so he naturally didn¡¯t consider ease of usage for users. In order to use this Data Restoration software, he had to enter a compilation code on this black interface. Compiling codes was very simple for Li Chengqian, but for ordinary people, it was too difficult. Even for people with a certain programming foundation, it would take at least a month to learn it. Moreover, they needed a standing operating manual to guide them, else they would forget how to do it. ¡°Brother Qin, give me two hours. I¡¯ll change the code. Otherwise, even if I write out the operating manual, it¡¯ll be especially difficult to learn, it¡¯ll take a long time,¡± Li Chengqian replied. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ve already reported to the higher-ups that as long as your Data Restoration software works, it will be helpful for us to solve cases. The Municipal Bureau won¡¯t use your software for free. They will definitely pay you a reasonable fee. You don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± Qin Datong¡¯s message came again. In fact, the Municipal Bureau had already discussed it internally. As long as Li Chengqian¡¯s software was effective and could recover data that even the experts couldn¡¯t, the Municipal Bureau was willing to spend 100,000 yuan to purchase it. ¡°Thank you, Brother Qin.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t decline. Then, he closed the chat window and began to work on tweaking the software. The core Data Restoration function had already been completed. He only needed to create an user-friendly interface for the software. He added the hard disk display function on the interface, allowing the hard disk that needed restoration to be displayed on the software interface once it is connected to the computer. He added a data restoration button on the interface so as to execute commands on the hard disk to be restored. After the data restoration was completed, the intuitive data classification, filtering, preview, and export functions he added would ensure that the user could quickly find and export the files he needed. There is also a need to add features for software authorization to prevent the software he developed from being used by others. Li Chengqian went online to review a few data restoration softwares and got an idea of how to design the minor details of the user interface. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± With the activation of the two Skills, Li Chengqian entered an extremely focused state. At the same time, other than the spirituality of humans, his brain operated like a computer. The plan that he had just decided on quickly went through his mind. He adjusted it according to the operating methods of the computer. The codes that he needed to write simply flowed, without him having to think. If he had already taken on the Software Engineer profession and obtained the Thinking Coding skill, he could have entered the codes in his brain into the computer within an extremely short period of time. But for now, he could only do it manually. [Tool Mastery skill activated. Your typing speed has increased by 200%.] A translucent notification appeared in front of him. Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers were like lightning on the keyboard. With a crackling sound, lines of code quickly appeared on the computer. Under his control, the software interface took shape at an extremely fast speed. Chapter 56 - 56 Results of Software Test 56 Results of Software Test After an hour, the effects of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills had just disappeared. A translucent notification appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [Divine Dragon Data Restoration software completion rate 100%. Software grade D+.] ¡°Done!¡± Li Chengqian smiled. The design of the software interface was very simple. After opening the software, there would be a prompt to insert the hard disk that required data restoration. After the hard disk was inserted, it would automatically scan the size of the hard disk. It would also prompt the user to insert another hard disk to act as the storage location for the restored files. After these steps are done, the software would begin to scan automatically. There were no bells and whistles on the software interface. There was a prompt for every step. Any literate person could easily use all the functions of this software as long as they followed the instructions of the software. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t find any bugs in the software after a round of testing. He then proceeded to send the installation package to Qin Datong. ¡°Send!¡± Then, he also sent a message to Qin Datong. ¡°Brother Qin, I¡¯ve developed a simple interface. Take a look and see if this meets your requirements.¡± Looking at the translucent grading indication on the software, Li Chengqian can¡¯t help feeling a little disappointed, even though he did expect it. ¡°Such a pity, the grading of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is too low. It is only graded D+. How nice it would be if it could be graded C?¡± Developing a grade C software was a prerequisite for becoming a Software Engineer. In fact, when Li Chengqian was developing the Data Restoration software, he had also downloaded a few world renowned data restoration softwares for reference. The highest grading of these software was only grade E. It was one grade lower than the software he had developed. ¡°I should continue to refine the Divine Dragon Optimization software! This is my hope for becoming a Software Engineer.¡± Li Chengqian opened the program file of the Divine Dragon Optimization software. Based on Li Chengqian¡¯s estimation, after this software was completed, it should be able to reach grade C. ¡­ After Qin Datong politely replied that he had received it, he impatiently accepted the software sent by Li Chengqian. After the installation was completed, he quickly opened it. The software interface was basic, but he could finally understand and know how to operate it. ¡°Xiaochen, bring over the hard disk used to test the Data Restoration software the last time,¡± Qin Datong shouted to a young man in the office. A few days ago, the Jingguo Data Company came to the Municipal Bureau to promote the Jingguo Data Restoration software. The hard disk used to test the software was still there. It had come in handy for testing the Data Restoration software developed by Li Chengqian. ¡°Captain, Li Chengqian has already modified the software and sent it over?¡± Xiaochen asked curiously. ¡°Let¡¯s also take a look at how well the software developed by Li Chengqian is working.¡± After hearing Qin Datong, the rest of the team came over to Qin Datong¡¯s office at the same time. ¡°Let¡¯s just put it to the test! Just like how the Jingguo Data Restoration software was assessed, give me a set.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also here to see if this kid¡¯s standard is as godly as the rumors have it.¡± Because of Liu Wendao¡¯s arrest, word on Li Chengqian¡¯s programming skills had already spread throughout the Municipal Bureau, especially within the Internet Security department. Everyone knew Li Chengqian¡¯s name. ¡°Quiet, everyone. Let¡¯s test the data recovery function of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software using the same method that we tested the Jingguo Data Restoration software.¡± ¡°Old Qian, you¡¯re in charge of the normal delete test.¡± ¡°Xiaochen, you¡¯re in charge of the zone deletion test.¡± ¡°Li Zhengdong, you¡¯re in charge of the format restoration test.¡± ¡°Wang Meng, you¡¯re in charge of the restoration test after the documents are overwritten.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be in charge of testing the versatility of the software. It is stated in the software that it can restore data from mechanical hard drives, solid-state hard drives, and USB drives. Let me try.¡± ¡°Everyone, get to work. Let me know immediately if there are any results.¡± After Qin Datong made the arrangements, he took some hard disks for testing and went to his computer. ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone split up and got started. Half an hour later, Old Qian was the first to complete the test. He came over with his notebook and reported to Qin Datong, ¡°Captain, the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software can restore 100% of the files deleted by normal methods. One hundred percent of the deleted files in the recycle bin can be restored. In addition to restoring files, it can also restore the catalog tree.¡± ¡°The speed of data restoration is very fast. It is comparable to direct copying speed.¡± ¡°The software only uses a read-only mode during the data restoration process. It won¡¯t cause damage to the data on the hard disk.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve tested the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. It is without a doubt the best software for restoring normal deleted files!¡± Old Qian reported solemnly. ¡°Captain, my zone deletion test has been completed. The results are unbelievable.¡± Xiaochen walked over with a look of disbelief. ¡°The Divine Dragon Data Restoration software can restore deleted partition tables and restore 100% of the files in the partition. Even the catalog tree can be preserved 100%. All the files after restoration are not corrupted and are error free. The recovery speed is the same as the hard disk speed that the data is recovered from.¡± ¡°I feel that this software doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s restoring files. It looks like it¡¯s copying files.¡± ¡°In terms of regional deletion and restoration, the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is also the most advanced software I¡¯ve tested. It¡¯s ten thousand times better than the data restoration software that the Jingguo Data Company presented to our bureau a few days ago.¡± ¡°Captain, we have to buy this software. In the future, when we encounter cases that require data extraction, the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software will be our trump card, our secret weapon!¡± Xiaochen sang praises of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software after just one use. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s wait for Li Zhengdong and Wang Meng¡¯s test results first.¡± Qin Datong¡¯s test had also been completed. Through his simple test, he found that the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software had especially good restoration effects on solid-state hard drives, USB drives, mechanical hard drives, and mobile phones. It was more advanced than any software he had tested before. An hour later, Li Zhengdong walked into Qin Datong¡¯s office looking stunned. ¡°Captain, Li Chengqian is really a genius! This software is too awesome!¡± ¡°Did you know? After we used the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to scan the hard disk, the files on the entire disk were restored, as if the hard disk had not been formatted.¡± ¡°The average recovery speed is 600 Mb/s. It¡¯s the same as the read/write speed of the hard disk. For other softwares, 50 Mb/s was already considered impressive. I remember that the last time the people from the Jingguo Data Company came to promote their data restoration software, they were trumpeting their 60Mb/s speed as a world first.¡± ¡°I remember their quote was 200,000 a year for software usage, right?¡± ¡°Compared to Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, the Jingguo Data Company¡¯s data restoration software speed is like a turtle crawling.¡± ¡°Captain, if the price doesn¡¯t exceed 200,000 yuan, we¡¯ll buy the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software!¡± Li Zhengdong praised the software developed by Li Chengqian. It was really powerful. ¡°Captain, my test is also completed!¡± At this moment, Wang Meng walked in. He was very calm as he reported the test results one by one. ¡°After testing, I found that the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software can restore 100% of a hard disk that has been formatted, and overwritten by other files.¡± ¡°The restored files only have a damage rate of 0.03%.¡± This was an unbelievable figure. ¡°The most advanced data restoration software in the world only has a data recovery rate of 23% and a data damage rate of 87% for formatted and overwritten files!¡± ¡°The test results of the Jingguo Data Company¡¯s data restoration software are as follows: 19% data recovery rate, 93% data damage rate.¡± ¡°I only have one thing to say after my evaluation of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software¡ªwe have another world leading technology!¡± Wang Meng¡¯s face was filled with admiration. ¡°I suggest that we purchase software immediately and then perform data restoration and extraction on all the hard disks that data couldn¡¯t be extracted from previously.¡± The Municipal Bureau had more than 30 cases that couldn¡¯t be prosecuted and closed due to insufficient evidence, as they couldn¡¯t extract videos from the hard disks. They clearly knew who did it, but because they didn¡¯t have any concrete evidence, they couldn¡¯t put the bad guys away. And the criminals got away scot free! Wang Meng estimated that key evidence could be found in 90% of cases if he used the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. He would then be able to bring the perpetrators to justice and let them receive the punishment they deserved. ¡°Amazing! He¡¯s really amazing!¡± ¡°Moreover, this software was written by Li Chengqian in one night. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s infuriating? Some people just have the talent!¡± Thinking of Li Chengqian¡¯s age and the time he spent developing the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, Qin Datong and the others only had two thoughts in their minds. Totally impressed ! Awesome! ¡°I¡¯ll report to the higher-ups immediately. We have to buy the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software.¡± Qin Datong recorded the test data in his notebook and made up his mind. He walked towards his boss¡¯s office. Chapter 57 - 57 100,000 per Year 57 100,000 per Year ¡°Son, the company¡¯s registration has been completed.¡± Just as he had gotten home and finished his dinner at night, Chen Li returned home and handed the relevant company documents and seal to Li Chengqian. Thereafter, the old couple returned to their room and checked the employment ads on their phone app. Other than registering a company for Li Chengqian that today, they had been looking for a job outside. After walking around for an entire day, they still couldn¡¯t find a suitable one. The old couple¡¯s worries were written all over their faces. One can see worry in their eyes. ¡°I see that this company is hiring cleaners. The salary is more than 2,000 yuan. Let¡¯s give it a try tomorrow.¡± After Chen Li saw a message, she discussed it with Li Tianlan in a low voice. They spoke very softly as they were afraid Li Chengqian would hear them. ¡°You used to work in finance and treasury management. It¡¯s better to find related jobs. Forget about manual work. It¡¯s tough and tiring. You¡¯re old and your health isn¡¯t good.¡± Li Tianlan didn¡¯t agree with Chen Li at all. ¡°Old Li, at a time like this, do we still have a choice? We should just find a job first and jump ship when there¡¯s a suitable one.¡± Chen Li shook her head. To be unemployed and sitting at home was driving her nuts, she wasn¡¯t the type to sit still. Although the two of them were discussing very softly and ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear their discussion, Li Chengqian could hear everything very clearly. When he was reborn, he had sworn to let his parents live a good life. How could he let Chen Li be a cleaner? ¡°No, Dad and Mom have been busy all their lives. They can¡¯t stay idle at all.¡± ¡°Moreover, Dad and Mom have always been worried about money!¡± No matter how much they try to cut corners, their family¡¯s monthly expenses still come to 10,000 yuan. Although Li Chengqian had given his parents 30,000 yuan, this money would be used up in no time. It wouldn¡¯t last long. If he could not stabilize his family within three months, there would be big trouble at home. He would have to borrow money to maintain his family. Actually, Li Chengqian totally understood Li Tianlan and Chen Li¡¯s thoughts. ¡°I had thought that my parents would be at ease after I received the prize money for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± However, the anxiety his parents were showing now made him understand that neither Chen Li nor Li Tianlan have the patience to quietly wait for that day to come. That was because the finals would only be held a month later! If they had to wait for 30 days, every day would be a torture for them. ¡°I have to think of a way to find something to keep them busy.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the information on the company that had just been registered and suddenly had an idea. He wanted to upload the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to the Internet. Just like other software, he would charge a usage fee. At this moment, Qin Datong¡¯s message came. ¡°Li Chengqian, we¡¯ve already tested your Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. The software works very well. It¡¯s indeed more advanced than any data restoration software on the market.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve reported the results of the test to our superiors.¡± ¡°There¡¯s one last question I need to confirm with you.¡± ¡°How much are you going to charge for the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software?¡± Qin Datong had already reported the test results to Chief Zhao. Chief Zhao¡¯s position was very clear. As long as the price did not exceed 200,000 yuan a year, he would sign the contract with Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian looked troubled. Although he had written the software and knew that it was more advanced than any data restoration software in the world, he had never studied the pricing issue. He needed to go online and see how the other data restoration softwares were priced. Qin Datong sat in front of the computer. He waited and waited in vain for Li Chengqian¡¯s reply. ¡°Xiaoqin, what¡¯s going on? Are you done? We¡¯re still waiting to use the software!¡± The person who spoke was Wang Dawu from the Criminal Investigation department of the Municipal Bureau. After hearing that the Internet Security department had a software that could restore the data from hard disks, he came looking for Qin Datong in the middle of the night. ¡°Xiaoqin, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why haven¡¯t you negotiated the deal yet!¡± ¡°Xiaoqin, stop dawdling. Just ask him if he would take 200,000 per year!¡± Wang Dawu said loudly as he walked over anxiously. Qin Datong had a bitter smile on his face. ¡°Brother Wang, who would quote their maximum price upfront! Why don¡¯t we wait a little longer and wait for him to quote a price?¡± ¡°Xiaoqin, what are you waiting for? We¡¯re not a company, so we don¡¯t have to consider profit and loss! Our duty is to uphold justice, keep peace, fight criminals, and bring them to justice.¡± ¡°As long as we achieve these goals, the money spent is worth it.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Data Restoration software has been tested by you. It¡¯s the most advanced software. It can restore hard disk data that other softwares can¡¯t recover!¡± ¡°I remember that the data restoration software you bought last year cost 200,000, right?¡± ¡°Then why can¡¯t we use the same price to buy a more advanced software now?¡± Wang Dawu opined. Qin Datong could only smile bitterly. ¡°Brother Wang, I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll ask Li Chengqian what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, how about 100,000 per year?¡± Qin Datong thought about it. Although what Wang Dawu said was very blunt, it did make sense. Then, seeing that Li Chengqian still hadn¡¯t replied, he took the initiative to send a message. However, he quoted half the amount he budgeted. ¡­ Li Chengqian was still researching the pricing of other data restoration softwares on the Internet. He wanted to do a summary and then give Qin Datong a quote. At the same time, he thought about researching the pricing of other softwares so as to make a price list for personal subscriptions. However, he realized that it was not easy to do so because the price range of data restoration softwares was too wide. The most expensive one was 500,000 a year, and the cheapest one was free. Ordinary softwares cost less than 1,000 a year. ¡°This is too troublesome. After the company¡¯s framework is set up, I¡¯ll only be in charge of software development. I¡¯ll find a specialized person to be in charge of everything else.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s head was throbbing. Just then, a message from Qin Datong popped up. ¡°The first offer is 100,000?¡± When Li Chengqian saw this price, his heart skipped a beat and he became excited. Although this price was not very high compared to the most expensive data restoration softwares out there, it was still a huge sum of money for Li Chengqian. Since Qin Datong was willing to offer 100,000 on his first try, it meant that there was still room for negotiation. Li Chengqian knew this very well. However, Li Chengqian also knew that the Municipal Bureau¡¯s purpose for buying this software was to fight crime. Therefore, after mulling over it, Li Chengqian decided not to bargain with Qin Datong. ¡°Okay, I agree. Thank you, Brother Qin.¡± When Qin Datong Li Chengqian¡¯s message, he was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, ¡°Why didn¡¯t this kid bargain with me?¡± Then he thought of Li Chengqian¡¯s age and he felt a trace of guilt. He thought to himself, ¡°Is this considered bullying a little kid?¡± The two of them immediately proceeded to discuss the terms of the software purchase. They agreed to sign the contract at the Municipal Bureau the following morning. ¡°Big Brother Wang, why do you think Li Chengqian didn¡¯t bargain with me?¡± Qin Datong looked uneasy. ¡°Ha, Li Chengqian is just a 17-year-old kid. How can he bargain with you? You¡¯re simply bullying the kid.¡± Wang Dawu joked. ¡°Hurry up and install the software. I want to see for myself if the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is as amazing as you guys claimed.¡± Then, Wang Dawu urged impatiently. ¡°Over the years, our department has accumulated 56 hard disks from which data couldn¡¯t be restored. These involved 37 cases. I¡¯ve already asked someone to bring the hard disks over.¡± ¡°We have to work overtime tonight to recover the data!¡± ¡°As long as the data is restored, I¡¯ll arrest those bastards tomorrow and send them to the prisons.¡± The suspects of these 37 cases had to be released as there was insufficient evidence in the past. The police officers were all seething with anger. Because they couldn¡¯t crack these cases, their bosses reprimanded them and kept applying pressure on them. ¡°I¡¯ll work overtime with you guys too. Let¡¯s see how effective the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is in actual combat!¡± After Qin Datong heard Wang Dawu¡¯s words, he became solemn. Qin Datong felt the same way as Wang Dawu. People have to pay for their crimes! Chapter 58 - 58 Signing the Contract 58 Signing the Contract Early the next morning, Li Tianlan and Chen Li brought the Divine Dragon Software to the entrance of the Municipal Bureau. Outside the guardhouse, Chen Li and Li Tianlan were extremely nervous. Last night, Li Chengqian told them in detail about the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. He also displayed the chat history with Qin Datong. The old couple was extremely shocked at first, but thereafter their hearts swelled with pride. Then, he briefed the old couple on the contract signing with Qin Datong. Li Chengqian found an excuse for himself. ¡°If I take leave frequently, it will affect my studies. Although I scored full marks the last time, there¡¯s a possibility of my grades falling if I become lax.¡± Of course, Li Chengqian had already communicated with Qin Datong in advance about his parents signing the contract. Why did Li Chengqian do this? It was just to occupy the old couple¡¯s time, so that their imagination won¡¯t run wild. Else they would be trying to find a job again. At the same time, Li Chengqian also wanted to use this opportunity to let his parents know that he really had the ability to support them. ¡°Hello, Officer Qin. We¡¯re from Divine Dragon Software Company. Li Chengqian asked us to come and look for you to sign a service contract for the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software¡­¡± Li Tianlan called Qin Datong nervously. ¡°Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll come and pick you up immediately.¡± Qin Datong sounded very tired, however there was also a tinge of excitement in his voice. The night before, apart from those hard disks that were physically damaged, all the other previously unreadable hard disks that the Municipal Bureau had accumulated over the years were restored using the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. After analyzing the restored data, it was found that of the 37 cases that previously couldn¡¯t be cracked, damning evidence could be found for 36 cases. They could proceed to arrest the suspects. For the remaining case, it was found that the restored data was unrelated to the case. Wang Dawu, the head of the Criminal Investigation department, didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. His eyes were bloodshot, but he was especially excited. Wang Dawu had been mobilizing the police force the night before. He proceeded to arrest the criminals one after another as and when he obtained concrete evidence of each crime. By dawn, 39 suspects had been arrested. These people had always been brazen as they felt that the Municipal Bureau wouldn¡¯t be able to find concrete evidence to convict them. Thus they were cursing and swearing when they were first brought in. After Wang Dawu showed them the recovered surveillance footage, they went silent. Then, their faces turned ashen. They were handcuffed and squatting on the ground in a daze. There was only one thought on their minds. ¡°How is this possible? How did they recover the surveillance footage from the hard disk?¡± ¡°Xiaoqin, is Li Chengqian here?¡± Wang Dawu leaned over when he heard Qin Datong speaking on the phone. ¡°Li Chengqian is still a student and has gone to class. His parents have come over to sign the contract with the Municipal Bureau on his behalf. I¡¯ll go bring them up,¡± Qin Datong replied as he walked out. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Wang Dawu quickly followed. The Divine Dragon Data Restoration software had been a crucial help, as such, even Wang Dawu had a good impression of Li Chengqian. When he heard that Li Chengqian¡¯s parents were here, he felt that it would be best if he went to receive them personally so as to be respectful. ¡­ ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Qin Datong. Welcome to the Municipal Bureau. Please come in.¡± After Qin Datong walked out of the door, he hurriedly went forward to greet Li Tianlan and her husband. He was extremely respectful, and the smile on his face was extremely amicable. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Wang Dawu. Welcome. You¡¯ve been a big help to us this time. Please come in.¡± Wang Dawu was all smiles as he gestured respectfully for the two of them to enter. ¡°You¡¯re too polite, you¡¯re too polite!¡± Li Tianlan and Chen Li were flattered. They had never been in such a situation before, to be treated so respectfully, and by a police officer no less. This was an unprecedented experience. They were both happy and flustered. ¡°I¡¯m a straightforward person and I don¡¯t stand on ceremonies. I want to thank you for raising such an outstanding child! We used the software he developed to arrest 39 criminals in one night.¡± Wang Dawu¡¯s expression turned solemn. ¡°If not for the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, these 39 people might never have been captured! They would have been at large.¡± ¡°They will secretly gloat and laugh at us for being incompetent!¡± But now, they are fearful, and remorseful.¡± Wang Dawu kept heaping praise on Li Chengqian as they walked. While Li Tianlan and Chen Li were proud, they were also uncomfortable and a little embarrassed. Wang Dawu duly took his leave after he brought them to the meeting room. His mission was not completed yet. He could only rest after he had sent all the people he arrested to the detention center. Moreover, he had to update his boss on the situation after the mass arrest the night before. After the few of them settled down, Li Tianlan nervously handed the printed contract to Qin Datong. He had seen the contract. The amount was 100,000 yuan and was for the right to use the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software for a year. Although he had already seen the contract the night before, he still found it unbelievable. He was still worried that the Municipal Bureau may not sign this contract. Qin Datong took the contract and reviewed it carefully. When he saw that the amount was 100,000 yuan, the trace of guilt in his heart appeared again. ¡°Wait a moment. I¡¯ll go look for the boss to sign the contract.¡± Qin Datong took the contract and walked towards Chief Zhao¡¯s office. ¡­ Meanwhile, in Chief Zhao¡¯s office, Wang Dawu was enthusiastically updating him on the situation the night before. After Chief Zhao, who was usually serious, heard the report, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Just then, Qin Datong knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Xiaoqin, you did well this time! You solved 36 cold cases at one go. You also made progress on the other cold cases,¡± Chief Zhao said with a smile. ¡°Chief Zhao, it was under your wise leadership and because we bought the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software!¡± Qin Datong said, paying the Chief a compliment. ¡°Alright, stop flattering me! Everyone has contributed. Of course, the greatest contribution is the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software!¡± Chief Zhao said with a smile. He was in a good mood because a large number of cold cases have been cracked. ¡°Chief Zhao, the people from Divine Dragon Software are here. This is their contract. I¡¯ve already reviewed it and there¡¯s no problem. Please sign it.¡± Qin Datong handed the contract over. ¡°How much was the final deal?¡± Chief Zhao took it and asked casually. ¡°100,000 yuan a year!¡± Qin Datong answered honestly. ¡°I asked Li Chengqian if 100,000 yuan a year was okay, and he agreed without bargaining.¡± ¡°The software is so effective. 100,000 yuan is a little low!¡± Chief Zhao, who was about to sign, paused for a moment. He pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Li Chengqian has been so supportive and cooperative. We can¡¯t shortchange him.¡± ¡°Chief Zhao, I feel the same way too!¡± Wang Dawu slapped his thigh and said with approval, ¡°The data restoration software we bought last year was crap. It was useless and cost 200,000 yuan! The Divine Dragon Data Restoration software was so powerful that it solved 36 cases, and yet we are only paying 100,000 yuan. No matter how I think about it, it doesn¡¯t make sense.¡± Chief Zhao thought for a moment and made a decision. The price had already been agreed on, so it was impossible to raise the price this year. This would be against the rules. However, he could give support in other aspects. ¡°Xiaoqin, write a letter of appreciation to their company in our Bureau¡¯s name.¡± ¡°In addition, give me a copy of the software test report. I¡¯m going to the provincial office on Monday to give an update on the 36 cases. I¡¯ll use the chance to recommend the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to the leaders.¡± ¡°You¡¯re familiar with the software, so be prepared to come with me when the time comes so that you can do a good demonstration to the leaders.¡± Wang Dawu and Qin Datong were both shocked to hear what Chief Zhao said. ¡°Chief Zhao¡¯s support for Li Chengqian is simply unprecedented.¡± Chief Zhao personally recommending the software to the provincial office was way more effective than any advertisement that Li Chengqian could buy. The provincial office could make a central purchase for the various branches if they found the software useful after testing. The service fee would be at least three million yuan a year if it was a provincial-level contract. Chapter 59 - 59 Divine Dragon Optimization Software Completed 59 Divine Dragon Optimization Software Completed Outside the Municipal Bureau, Chen Li and Li Tianlan were holding the signed and stamped contract. In addition to the contract, there were also two letters of appreciation, duly signed and stamped. One was to Divine Dragon Software Company, and the other was to Li Chengqian. ¡°Old Li, I feel like I¡¯m dreaming.¡± Chen Li was especially excited, her eyes filled with pride and joy. ¡°Me too.¡± Although Li Tianlan¡¯s expression was calm, he was actually even more excited than Chen Li. However, he had been holding back his emotions and trying to keep calm. ¡°Ding-Dong, you have a new message.¡± Chen Li opened the message and smiled. The 100,000 yuan from the Municipal Bureau had been transferred to her account. ¡°Old Li, the money is in.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Li Tianlan also smiled. Although the contract had been signed, Li Tianlan was still a little worried. He would only feel assured after the money is received. After they have received the 100,000 yuan, they wouldn¡¯t have to be so anxious about finding a job. ¡­ Tianbao City Big Data Center Hotel. Bi Jialiang and He Hongyun waited in the conference room for He Jingguo¡¯s arrival. Tian Wenming put down the phone and walked in. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. I just called Dr. He. He said that he¡¯s discussing business at the Provincial Public Security Bureau and will be here soon.¡± ¡°You guys revise the content of the previous competitions first.¡± After Tian Wenming finished speaking, he walked out of the small meeting room again. ¡°What business did your dad go to the Provincial Public Security Bureau for?¡± Bi Jialiang asked curiously. He Hongyun was still reading the book on ¡¯30-day homemade operating system¡¯. After hearing Bi Jialiang¡¯s question, a trace of pride flashed across his face. He deliberately played it down as if it was an extremely common thing. ¡°To discuss a deal regarding a data restoration software.¡± ¡°This deal is only about ten million yuan.¡± ¡°I heard from my father that they are at a critical phase now. If nothing goes wrong, the deal will be done soon.¡± According to what He Jingguo had told him, it was basically a done deal. This was because there was no data restoration software in the country that was more advanced than Jingguo¡¯s. Although there were better foreign softwares than Jingguo Data Company¡¯s data restoration software, due to national security considerations, the public security bureau usually would not use softwares developed overseas. ¡°The data restoration software costs ten million yuan?¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Yes, in future, the Jinshan Province¡¯s public security bureau will be using data restoration software purchased from Jingguo Software Company¡­. Jingguo Software Company is my father¡¯s company.¡± Seeing Bi Jialiang¡¯s surprised expression, He Hongyun revealed a smug smile on his face. ¡°It¡¯s the same for the Tianyi Municipal Bureau.¡± ¡°Jingguo Data Restoration software is the most advanced data restoration software in the country. Its data recovery capabilities have reached world standards.¡± ¡°The core algorithm of the software was completed by my father alone. In order to increase the efficiency of the software¡¯s operation, the most critical 2% of the core code was implemented in assembly language.¡± ¡°It only took my father a year to develop this software.¡± He Hongyun¡¯s face was filled with pride when he talked about Jingguo¡¯s software. He also used the opportunity to show off He Jingguo¡¯s talent when he talked about the Jingguo data restoration software. Bi Jialiang listened to what He Hongyun shared, and said enviously, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re so good at programming.¡± ¡°Compared to my father, I¡¯m far inferior.¡± It was rare for He Hongyun to be humble. Though he appeared humble, he was actually arrogant. Then, he changed the topic. ¡°Many universities invited my father to lecture. I followed him twice, and it was full house each time.¡± ¡°This time, if not for Teacher Tian Wenming, my father definitely wouldn¡¯t have given you training.¡± ¡°But there will always be a few idiots who are too full of themselves.¡± He Hongyun felt especially uncomfortable when he thought of Li Chengqian. ¡°That¡¯s why he has to miss this rare training opportunity.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, my father is one of the judges for this Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Although he doesn¡¯t know the specific topic, my father is very familiar with the general content of this competition.¡± Actually, this was the most important point. No matter how good He Jingguo was, he couldn¡¯t substantially improve someone with just two days of training. However, he could focus on revising the key points. It was much better to point out the key points of an exam than to study with no focus. When Bi Jialiang heard this, his eyes lit up and his breathing quickened. ¡°Teacher He knows the focus of this preliminary examination?¡± He Hongyun became conceited. He nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°That arrogant Li Chengqian is really missing out this time. If he had come to attend Dr. He¡¯s training, he might still stand a chance of entering the finals.¡± The corners of Bi Jialiang¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. He felt pleased at the thought of Li Chengqian missing out. ¡­ In the library of Tianyi High School, Li Chengqian stood up and exercised strictly according to the 20 minutes limit. He looked at the trees in the distance and relaxed his eyes. Two minutes later, his gaze landed on the computer. [Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate: 99.6%!] A smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s lips. ¡°Zhao Peng, are you done? If you¡¯re done, copy the code over.¡± Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Peng, who looked drained. At this moment, Zhao Peng was sprawled on the chair. His entire body was limp like a puppet. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s question, he forced himself to merge the codes. ¡°Captain, you are the devil incarnate. I¡¯ve only known you for two days. How can you bear to torture me like this?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be sick. Hurry up and work!¡± Li Chengqian said with a look of disdain. ¡°Captain, what exactly did you write these codes for?¡± Zhao Peng asked curiously again during the code transmission process. ¡°An Android software,¡± Li Chengqian replied casually. His gaze was fixed on the progress of the transmission. ¡°Like hell I believe you! Do you really think I don¡¯t understand anything at all!¡± Zhao Peng rolled his eyes. Even if he was a fool, he wouldn¡¯t believe what Li Chengqian was saying now. ¡°You wrote these codes, do you understand the meaning?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. Zhao Peng had nothing to say in rebuttal. ¡°Captain, don¡¯t push it!¡± Zhao Peng pretended to be on the verge of tears. Then, he saw the notification on Li Chengqian¡¯s computer. ¡°Captain, the code has been copied.¡± Li Chengqian had been paying attention to the progress. When the copy progress reached 100%, a translucent notification appeared. [Divine Dragon Optimization software completion rate 100%. Software Grade: C!] Li Chengqian was thrilled! ¡°I¡¯ve finally completed a C-grade software!¡± Developing a C-grade software was one of the prerequisites for becoming a Software Engineer. Once became a Software Engineer, his efficiency in developing software would increase by a hundred times. The first skill of the Software Engineer in the Master of all Professions game was Mental Coding, which allows quick input of codes. ¡°Zhao Peng, give me your phone!¡± Li Chengqian contained the excitement in his heart. He wanted to use a physical object to test the functionalities of the Divine Dragon Optimization software. Zhao Peng didn¡¯t think too much about it and handed the phone over. Then, he saw Li Chengqian¡¯s phone on the table. He asked in confusion, ¡°Captain, isn¡¯t your phone here? Why do you want my phone?¡± ¡°I¡¯m using your phone to test the software.¡± Li Chengqian began to send the data to Zhao Peng¡¯s phone. ¡°Yours is also here. Why are you using mine?¡± Zhao Peng asked in confusion. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that my phone will be damaged if I use it for testing,¡± Li Chengqian replied matter-of-factly. Of course, Li Chengqian was just joking. He used Zhao Peng¡¯s phone because it was very old and had slow connection speed. Testing the Divine Dragon Optimization software on this phone would produce very intuitive results. Chapter 60 - 60 Just Wait for Victory to Fall on Your Lap 60 Just Wait for Victory to Fall on Your Lap s Zhao Peng¡¯s cell phone was manufactured four years ago. Samsung S9! It was a high-end model back then. The processor was Snapdragon 845, with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The OS was Android 8.0, which was considered top-notch that year. However, the phone had become very laggy. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was much larger than the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. It was 107 Mb. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was very quickly sent to Zhao Peng¡¯s phone. Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to install the software. Instead, he tried using the phone. He also asked Zhao Peng to record his test results. After testing, he realized that the entire system was lagging very badly. Applications like WeChat and QQ could hardly be used unless one could wait very patiently. Popular games like Game for Peace, and League of Legends couldn¡¯t be played at all, the system was too slow. Then, Li Chengqian downloaded the AnTuTu software to run benchmark tests. The final score was 240,000 points! After that, Li Chengqian installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Zhao Peng¡¯s phone. After the software was installed, the phone automatically shut down. Zhao Peng became anxious instantly. ¡°Captain, could it be broken?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We need to run a process to optimize the phone. System-level optimization needs to be completed when the phone is restarting.¡± Li Chengqian was not anxious at all. His Divine Dragon Optimization App had replaced the entire Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine and the HAL hardware abstraction layer. This would take some time. After the Divine Dragon Optimization App had replaced the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine and the HAL hardware abstraction layer, the phone system was a brand new system. It was no longer the Android system. The Android system consists largely of the Linux core, the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine, and APP. The Linux core is an open-source software that has been around for a long time. The essence of Android is the use of the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine. For other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, such as Dami, their mobile phone systems are in effect the Android system with a layer of skin on the outside. The Divine Dragon Optimization app developed by Li Chengqian was completely different from these manufacturers. He was not changing Android¡¯s skin, but changing Android¡¯s core. After the Divine Dragon Optimization app has optimized a mobile phone system, the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine no longer exists and is replaced by the Divine Dragon Optimization app. Five seconds later, Zhao Peng¡¯s phone screen lit up. In the middle of the phone screen, the logos of Samsung and Android had disappeared. A golden Divine Dragon icon took their places on the screen. Under the Divine Dragon icon, there was a progress bar. The progress bar ran very quickly. After a minute, the progress bar reached 100%. Zhao Peng¡¯s phone automatically restarted again. After booting up, the majestic golden dragon icon appeared on the first screen. There was a line of words at the bottom of the screen: Produced by Divine Dragon Software. About three seconds later, the majestic golden dragon danced on the screen and the phone was unlocked. ¡°This is so cool! I love it, I love it! Captain is impressive, awesome!¡± After Zhao Peng saw the divine dragon on the first screen, he gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up. ¡°D*mn, since when did my phone start up so quickly?¡± Zhao Peng said in surprise. In the past, it took him at least 30 seconds to turn it on and unlock the interface. Zhao Peng unlocked his phone. Then, he realized that the software, layout, and theme of the phone were exactly the same as before. There didn¡¯t seem to be any changes. When he started operating the phone, he was stunned. Because it was so smooth! Originally, when he swiped the screen, there would be a slight pause. When he swiped the screen now, it was smooth and seamless. There was no lag at all. ¡°Follow the way I tested just now. Let¡¯s do it again.¡± Zhao Peng opened WeChat and QQ first. The software opened the apps in a split second. It was especially smooth without any lag. He tried TikTok, TouTiao, and the web novel apps one by one. They were not laggy at all. Zhao Peng was extremely shocked, but he contained his astonishment and switched his phone back to the home screen. Then, he opened the two games, Game for Peace and League of Legends. Under picture quality, he could actually play games smoothly, and his phone didn¡¯t heat up. During the test 10 minutes ago, his phone was lagging so badly he couldn¡¯t play these two games at all. Moreover, when the game was on, his phone got so heated up he could practically boil eggs with it. Zhao Peng was astonished by this result. He looked at the phone in front of him in disbelief. He even started wondering if this was indeed his original phone. ¡°Don¡¯t just sit there. Run the AnnTuTu test!¡± Li Chengqian urged Zhao Peng when he saw him stunned motionless. Zhao Peng opened the app and clicked on ¡®run test¡¯. Not long after, the scores were out. 630,000 points! It was more than twice the previous score. Although 630,000 points was not very high and could not be compared to the current year¡¯s flagship models, it was comparable to the standards of the current year¡¯s mainstream mobile phones. Because the score was too high and unbelievable, Zhao Peng ran another test. The score was still 630,000 points. After using it for a while, Zhao Peng checked the memory usage. Then, he realized that the memory used by the system had always been maintained at about 1.2 gigabytes. Even when he was playing Game for Peace, the memory used did not exceed 2 gigabytes. Before installing the Divine Dragon Optimization app, even if all the apps were closed, the system had always taken up about 3.5 gigabytes of memory. Just opening any app would take up 4 gigabytes of memory. ¡°Captain, is this really my phone?¡± Zhao Peng said in disbelief. He was shocked by the test results. ¡°Of course it¡¯s yours.¡± Li Chengqian saw this test result and was quite satisfied. ¡°Captain, you really live up to your reputation as Awesome Li!¡± Zhao Peng gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up. ¡°I will henceforth worship you as the most awesome b*stard.¡± Li Chengqian was puzzled. Since when was he nicknamed Awesome Li? Moreover, after getting familiar with Li Chengqian, Zhao Peng became more and more relaxed. He no longer hid his jumpy personality and now spoke freely with his foul mouth. ¡°Captain, you lied to me just now, you said that you developed an Android software?¡± How was this an Android software? It was clearly a phone system that was more advanced than Android. ¡°You clearly developed a mobile phone system! A mobile phone system compatible with Android, but its operating efficiency is several times higher than the Android system. Even compared to the Apple IOS, the Divine Dragon mobile phone system you developed is not bad.¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s voice was filled with admiration. ¡°You¡¯re really super awesome! You¡¯re a genius among geniuses!¡± Zhao Peng praised him sincerely. Then, he asked, ¡°Captain, how do you plan to use the Divine Dragon phone system you developed?¡± In fact, he had already thought of what to do when he was developing the Divine Dragon Optimization app. He would first offer a one month free trial. One month later, he would start charging 18 yuan per year per phone for the software usage. This fee may not seem like much, but the number of cell phone users is huge. As long as 10 million cell phone users used his Divine Dragon Optimization app, he would earn 180 million yuan a year. And this was just the price for standard users. Next, not only did Li Chengqian want to replace the Android Runtime (ART) virtual machine with the Divine Dragon Optimization app, he also wanted to replace the Linux core with the Divine Dragon System core. This was currently being developed but had not been completed. He had to develop from scratch a system that was more advanced than any mobile phone system, only then could such a system be called the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone system. This was the reason why Li Chengqian had been calling the current development the Divine Dragon Optimization app and not the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone system. If this system was licensed to phone manufacturers, the price wouldn¡¯t be merely 10 yuan. After Li Chengqian discussed his initial thoughts with Zhao Peng for a while, Zhao Peng nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. He only reminded Li Chengqian to do a good job of encrypting the software so that it would not be hacked and stolen. At the same time, he reminded Li Chengqian to register the patent in a timely manner, and also to register a global patent. Before completing the patent registration, the Divine Dragon Optimization app should not be leaked, in case someone beat them to the patent. Li Chengqian felt overwhelmed. He was initially prepared to simply release the software. With Zhao Peng¡¯s reminder, he realized that it was not appropriate to do so. ¡°After the preliminary round of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is over, I must engage professionals to help me handle this work.¡± Li Chengqian thought to himself. After Zhao Peng reminded Li Chengqian, he changed the topic to the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. ¡°Captain, we¡¯re taking the high-speed rail at 10 am tomorrow. Please remember and don¡¯t be late.¡± The only thing Zhao Peng was worried about now was that they would be late and would not be able to report to the provincial Big Data Center on time. He wasn¡¯t at all concerned about the competition or the subject matter that would be tested. Li Chengqian could even develop an operating system, and the operating system he developed was even more useful than the world-famous systems. What was there to worry about with such an awesome character? There was nothing to worry about. He just had to wait for victory to fall on his lap. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll meet at the high-speed rail station tomorrow.¡± Li Chengqian opined that there was no problem at all. Chapter 61 - 61 New Profession, Software Engineer 61 New Profession, Software Engineer In the conference room of the Tianbao City Big Data Center Hotel, Dr. He had a smile on his face as he drew out a few key points of the competition. ¡°Alright, just revise according to the key points I have circled.¡± Dr. He was wearing casual clothes. He was not tall, about 1.65 meters tall. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a big belly, and was bald. His voice was loud and confident. Bi Jialiang took down everything Dr. He said in his notebook. He was very excited and secretly rejoiced because many of the points that Dr. He highlighted were unexpected and he didn¡¯t revise them. ¡°Dad, why are you so late today?¡± He Hongyun asked. They had started at nine in the morning and waited until nine at night before He Jingguo finally showed up. ¡°The leaders of the Provincial Bureau were especially interested after hearing my report. They asked for a live demo of the Jingguo Data Restoration software.¡± Speaking of this, He Jingguo¡¯s face was flushed. Although the leaders at the Provincial Bureau didn¡¯t express on the spot that they wanted to purchase the Jingguo Data Restoration software, they appeared very satisfied with it. After asking He Jingguo to quote the price on the spot, they asked He Jingguo to go again the following Tuesday. ¡°The demo went well. If nothing goes wrong this year, the entire province¡¯s Public Security Bureau will purchase our company¡¯s software.¡± He Jingguo was full of smiles and he was in high spirits. He had always maintained his quote of 200,000 yuan per year per county! There are 89 county-level Public Security Units and 12 municipal-level units in Jinshan Province, totalling 101. Therefore, his overall quote was 20.2 million yuan! As long as he could get this contract, he could buy the villa he had taken a fancy to some time ago. ¡°Previously, I heard from your Teacher Tian that a student called Li Chengqian will also come over? Why don¡¯t I see him?¡± He Jingguo changed the topic and asked. ¡°Li Chengqian is on leave. He said that he has something important to do and will only arrive at noon tomorrow.¡± Bi Jialiang explained what happened at that time. ¡°Dad, Li Chengqian came in first in the second provincial joint mock exam. He¡¯s so full of himself.¡± He Hongyun snorted coldly. There was dissatisfaction in his voice. He didn¡¯t hold back and simply spoke his mind. ¡°I heard from Teacher Tian Wenming that Li Chengqian also scored full marks for the internal programming theory test at Tianyi High School.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so full of himself he may not even think you are worth his time.¡± ¡°Maybe he didn¡¯t think that it would be useful to attend your class.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why he applied for leave.¡± He Hongyun¡¯s tone was cold. He Jingguo looked at He Hongyun in surprise. This was the first time he had heard his son speak ill of someone so spitefully. ¡°If he applied for leave because he had something to attend to, that¡¯s his business. You don¡¯t have to be upset.¡± He Jingguo comforted him. Although he didn¡¯t show it, he was a little uncomfortable about what Li Chengqian did. He also took note of Li Chengqian¡¯s name. ¡°If I were to meet him during the competition¡­¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is such an egomaniac, and he has now offended Dr. He, who is also one of the judges of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± How could offending the judges be beneficial for him? It was impossible. ¡°This fellow! I didn¡¯t previously notice this about him, he looked so harmless with his big eyes and he¡¯s usually extremely arrogant and aloof. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so petty as to complain about such minor things. I have to be careful around him.¡± Bi Jialiang now saw He Hongyun in a new light. ¡­ When Li Chengqian returned home, Li Tianlan and Chen Li were happily chatting with each other. The anxiety in their eyes had also disappeared. The 100,000 yuan that they received today gave them confidence in their lives. Although they still thought about going out to get a job, they aren¡¯t as anxious as before. Li Chengqian looked at the old couple¡¯s expressions and heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up the noodles that his mother had prepared in advance and ate heartily. ¡°Son, I feel like I¡¯m dreaming today.¡± Chen Li was smiling by the side. ¡°100,000 yuan was transferred to our account at one go.¡± ¡°Moreover, everyone at the Municipal Bureau was polite to us. It was Captain Qin and Captain Wang who welcomed us when we got there.¡± ¡°When we left, it was Captain Qin who personally walked us out.¡± At this point, Chen Li and Li Tianlan¡¯s faces were flushed. Just this alone made them feel so proud. Just this matter alone was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives. This was the first time the two of them had ever received such treatment. Chen Li and Li Tianlan knew very well why Captain Qin gave them face. It was because of Li Chengqian. ¡°Son, you don¡¯t know this, but at the Municipal Bureau, Captain Qin and Captain Wang praised you so much that I felt embarrassed¡­¡± Chen Li¡¯s eyes were filled with pride. Li Tianlan didn¡¯t say anything, but he kept a smile on his face. Li Chengqian listened quietly to his mother¡¯s chatter with a faint smile on his face. After he finished his meal, Li Chengqian returned to his room. He was unusually excited. Why was he working so hard to develop the Divine Dragon Optimization app during this period of time? It was for the Software Engineer profession. Now, the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization app had been completed. The prerequisites for becoming a Software Engineer had been met. Now, he could advance and become a Software Engineer. With excitement, Li Chengqian muttered in his heart. ¡°Open the Professions Mall! Become a Software Engineer!¡± Immediately, a translucent page appeared in front of him, and lines of words appeared. [Profession: Software Engineer] [Job Requirement 1: Attain level 9 for Worker profession (Completed), attain level 9 for Student profession (Completed).] [Job Requirement 2: Attain master proficiency level for High School Knowledge skill (Completed), attain elementary level Information Technology skill (Completed).] [Job Requirement 3: 50,000 experience value points required (Completed).] [Job Requirement 4: Develop a C-grade software singlehandedly (Completed).] [You have fulfilled the requirements for becoming a Software Engineer. You have consumed 50,000 experience value points. You have successfully entered the Software Engineer profession.] [You have obtained Profession: Software Engineer level 0 (0/100,000).] ¡°The experience value points required to level up is too scary.¡± Although Li Chengqian had expected this, his heart still skipped a beat when he saw the 100,000 experience value points. In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, perhaps it was in order to attract people to play, very few experience value points were required to level up in the three basic professions of Students, Farmers, and Workers. Once he became a Software Engineer, the experience value points required to level up would increase drastically. This was a game manufacturer¡¯s trick to attract people to play their games. The same trick also often appeared on phones. They use the same tactic to lure you in, and once you are hooked, they will start upping the stakes. ¡°Upgrade!¡± Li Chengqian took a look at the Experience Pool and realized that there were still more than 300,000 experience value points left. He chose to upgrade without hesitation, his heart filled with anticipation. He worked hard to develop the C-grade software because he wanted to quickly obtain the first skill of a Software Engineer. Mental Coding! This was a divine skill. Especially when combined with the Focus and Rational Thinking skills, the effect was magnificent. With the Mental Coding skill, Li Chengqian was confident that he could single handedly change the world order of the software industry and radically change the software trade. Chapter 62 - 62 Mental Coding 62 Mental Coding Lines of text quickly flashed in front of Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. [You have consumed 100,000 experience value points. Software Engineer profession upgraded to level 1 (0/200,000).] [You have obtained a Software Engineer skill: Mental Coding (Novice 0/100,000).] [Mental Coding (Novice 0/100,000): Consumes 10 Stamina Points and enhances the activation of brain waves for 1 minute. In this state, brain waves can be automatically encoded into a signal that can be recognized by the computer. Information can be entered into the computer with your mind.] (Note: 1. The body will experience slight discomfort during use. 2. Using the brainwave receiver can greatly increase the usage time of the Skill and greatly increase the transmission efficiency.) ¡°This is the skill!¡± Before obtaining the Mental Coding Skill, Li Chengqian could rely on the Focus and Logical Thinking skills to become a top programmer in the world. After becoming a Software Engineer, he could single handedly support a software empire using the Mental Coding Skill. It was just like when he was developing the Divine Dragon Optimization app. He had in fact all the codes in his head, but he could only manually input the codes into the computer one key at a time. The development speed was limited by his typing speed. His hand speed limited his development speed. Now, this constraint no longer existed because of the appearance of the Mental Coding skill. The only thing that limited his development speed was his brain speed! The faster he thought, the faster he inputted. ¡°The novice level of Mental Coding only lasted for a short time.¡± ¡°Upgrade!¡± [You have consumed 100,000 experience value points. Your Mental Coding skill has been upgraded to competent (0/200,000).] After the Mental Coding skill was upgraded, the other descriptions did not change. However, the duration increased from one minute to five minutes. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the experience value points I accumulated a while ago are almost used up.¡± During this period of time, he had been developing software intensively and had earned a large amount of experience value points. When he completed the development of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, he received 50,000 experience value points as a reward. When he completed the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization app, he received 200,000 experience value points. He had accumulated 320,000 experience value points even before he became a software Engineer. He had consumed a total of 250,000 experience value points just now. He only had about 70,000 experience value points left now. This wasn¡¯t enough for upgrading the Software Engineer profession or the Mental Coding skill. ¡°Let me try the effect of the skill.¡± Li Chengqian closed his personal interface, turned on his computer, and opened the unfinished core program document of the Divine Dragon Operating System. [Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 5%.] After looking at the completion rate of the Operating System, Li Chengqian began to activate his Skill. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± Li Chengqian had not used these two skills today. He had been waiting for this moment. ¡°Mental coding!¡± After the Mental Coding skill was activated, his brain waves were instantly strengthened and activated. His entire body began to twitch slightly, as if he had epilepsy. It was difficult for him to adapt. At the same time, he felt a passageway that connected his hand to the laptop in front of him. Without needing anyone to teach him, he understood how to transmit the information in his brain to the computer. He began to try to transmit the code in his mind directly to the computer in front of him through the channel. Immediately, the indiscernible characters on the computer screen jumped rapidly. Countless lines of code scrolled up. In just a second, there were a total of 300 lines of code in the program document. The efficiency was a thousand times that of Li Chengqian¡¯s manual input! If he could maintain this speed, he would only need an hour to complete the one million lines of code that form the core of the entire Divine Dragon Operating System. However, the speed of output was limited by the brain¡¯s thinking speed. In other words, it was a brain speed limitation. In the past, Li Chengqian felt that with the enhancement of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills, there was no limit to his thinking speed. Now that he was using the Mental Coding skill, he realized that even with the enhancement of the two skills, his thinking speed was limited. He could reach a speed of 300 lines per second, or 18,000 lines per minute if he could input without thinking. If he input as he thinks, he could only reach an average speed of 50 lines of code per second. Only 3,000 lines of code can be entered in a minute. This was the first time Li Chengqian had experienced such a carefree input speed. He couldn¡¯t stop at all. Although his body kept twitching slightly, he used the Mental Coding skill three times and worked frantically for a total of 15 minutes. He only stopped when he ran out of stamina. [Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 5%.] With the enhancement of the Mental Coding skill, a week¡¯s work was done in 15 minutes. ¡°Awesome! As long as one¡¯s stamina can keep up, the core of the operating system can be completed within a day.¡± Even Li Chengqian himself was shocked by this efficiency. Li Chengqian paused the effect of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills. After the state of extreme rationality had subsided, the senses of his mind and body came back. ¡°Ouch¡­ It hurts¡­¡± The soreness in his body made him gasp. ¡°Is this what is meant by slight discomfort? Who are you kidding!¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian¡¯s skill notification came on. Note 1: The body will experience slight discomfort during use. Right on the heels of that, he felt extremely weak and hungry. His face was pale and his entire body was trembling. He was dizzy, his body was weak, and he could barely stand up. He was only left with 0.4 stamina after using the Mental Coding skill three times in a row. After a full five minutes, his Stamina Stats slowly recovered to 1 point. Only then did he have a little strength. He got up feebly, picked up ten medicinal wolfberries, and chewed them. One medicinal wolfberry could recover 1 point of stamina. As soon as he ate it, a warm feeling came from his stomach. He gradually regained color on his pale face. ¡°I won¡¯t do such a stupid thing again in the future. I almost died.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes were filled with lingering fear. ¡°Even if I want to work hard, I have to prepare enough restoration portions in advance.¡± ¡°When I have a certain level of strength, I¡¯ll restart the Farmer profession and think of a way to get a piece of land to become a farm owner.¡± In the game in his previous life, the Farmer profession and the advanced class of the Farmer profession were extremely important in the Master of All Professions game. However, the Farmer profession was too surreal in reality. There could be big trouble if he wasn¡¯t careful. Therefore, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to use it flippantly. ¡°I have to get the brainwave receiver as soon as possible. With the brainwave receiver, not only will the duration of the skill increase, but the aftereffects of the Mental Coding skill will also disappear.¡± Why was his body twitching when he used the Mental Coding skill? The reason was actually very simple. It was because brain waves were running amok in his body. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know if brainwave receivers existed in reality. If such a thing existed, he would buy it directly. If such a thing didn¡¯t exist, he would have to research it himself at all costs. ¡°One more thing. Before I get my hands on a brainwave receiver, I definitely can¡¯t use the Mental Coding skill outside.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s body would twitch like an epileptic when he was using the skill. If anyone saw it, they would definitely think he was sick. ¡°I¡¯ll rest first. I still have to catch the high-speed rail tomorrow. Hiss¡­ This sequelae is really f*cking long-lasting. It¡¯s too weirdly satisfying.¡± Chapter 63 - 63 Arrival, Meetup 63 Arrival, Meetup Two thirty p.m. the following afternoon, in the conference room of the Data Center Hotel. Li Chengqian and the others walked in with their luggage. Bi Jialiang welcomed Jian Qingli with a warm smile and took over her suitcase. He Hongyun was still flipping through the ¡¯30-day Homemade Operating System¡¯ book. He had been reading this book for a month and was still at the first chapter, even then, he could only understand a small portion of the chapter. Despite this, he felt that he had benefited immensely. Chapter one gave him a certain understanding of the assembly language and also gave him a preliminary understanding of a computer¡¯s startup process. When Li Chengqian and the others came in, he snorted coldly because he bore a grudge with Li Chengqian. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at Li Chengqian and the others, so he didn¡¯t even raise his head. Teacher Tian Wenming waved at Li Chengqian and the others. ¡°Come, sit down and rest for a while.¡± ¡°Teacher, didn¡¯t you say that we were going to get the competition pass directly?¡± Zhao Peng wiped his sweat and said while panting. ¡°We¡¯ll wait a while for Dr. He. He told me that he¡¯ll be here in half an hour.¡± Tian Wenming raised his hand and glanced at his watch. ¡°Dr. He is one of the judges for this Junior Informatics Programming Competition. It¡¯ll be good for you to have him meet you and get to know each other.¡± It was naturally impossible to play favoritism and cheat, but when it came to the segment where Dr. He was doing the marking, no one would say anything if he gave one or two extra points. ¡°Alright.¡± Zhao Peng sat down reluctantly. His luggage was very heavy, and he was exhausted from the journey. He only wanted to get his competition pass as soon as possible and return to the hotel to sleep. He wasn¡¯t bothered about Dr. He at all. With Li Chengqian around, there was no need to worry about any judges. There was no need to get familiar with him at all. Li Chengqian and Ding Ling also sat down. After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Chengqian took out a heavy book titled ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯ from his luggage. He had already done the online research this morning after he woke up. In the real world, there wasn¡¯t any functioning brainwave receiver. All the currently available brainwave receivers required the skull to be cut open and electrodes to be planted. A brainwave receiver that could be used outside the body had not been developed at the moment. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to blow his own brains out, so he was prepared to develop a brainwave receiver himself. Integrated circuits were key to the development of a brain wave receiver. Integrated circuits were needed for a number of processes, including processing collected brainwaves, releasing brainwave signals, and removing unwanted brainwaves. Moreover, integrated circuits and software technology both belong to the information technology domain. They were two sides of the same coin. Learning integrated circuits would also complement his knowledge of software technology. Moreover, Li Chengqian was also very interested in integrated circuits. What is an integrated circuit? The processor, memory, storage, 5G chip of a phone, the graphics card for mining, and other high-end things were all integrated circuits. Most of them couldn¡¯t be produced in the country. Even design was at least 10 years behind foreign countries in most fields. This was why Li Chengqian was interested in integrated circuits. At this moment, Zhao Peng who was reclining lazily beside Li Chengqian, said impatiently, ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m too tired. I really want to sleep.¡± He Hongyun, who was reading, immediately took offense. He felt that Zhao Peng¡¯s attitude was clearly disrespectful to his father. ¡°Every single person in Li Chengqian¡¯s group is annoying. Li Chengqian is annoying, and so is Zhao Peng.¡± ¡°After they are eliminated from this round, I must teach them a good lesson and make them regret their attitude.¡± He had already prepared a script. After the results have been released, he would tell Li Chengqian and the others about how He Jingguo was the one who set the scope of the exam. This way, Li Chengqian and the others would definitely regret not participating in He Jingguo¡¯s training. This was the only way to vent his anger. He had specifically instructed He Biliang not to leak a single word on the key points that He Jingguo had pointed out. Since he chose to take leave and not attend this training, he had to bear the consequences. Then, he saw the book Li Chengqian was reading, ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯. He sneered. ¡°The competition is about to start, and he still wants to read unrelated books. Li Chengqian is simply crazy.¡± ¡°Moreover, the speed at which he flipped through the book is so fast. It doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s reading at all. He¡¯s simply flipping through the book.¡± Li Chengqian read very quickly. Although he couldn¡¯t reach the speed that he read at when the Focus skill was activated, he could still read three to four pages in a minute. He Jingguo walked into the conference room with a flushed face an hour later. ¡°Tian Wenming, I¡¯m really sorry. I was asked by the provincial office to test the data restoration software again. It¡¯s a provincial level purchase this time. This contract is worth more than 20 million yuan. This is a big amount, thus they are very careful and want to review all the details and parameters of the software.¡± He Jingguo appeared to be explaining, but he was actually showing off. His tone was smug. ¡°He Jingguo, you¡¯ve come to this stage already? Has the provincial office already decided to use your Jingguo Data Restoration software?¡± Tian Wenming had always kept a straight face, and he was known as poker face in Tianyi High School. But when he heard the amount, envy could be seen on his face. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been decided yet, but it should be done within the next few days.¡± He Jingguo¡¯s face was filled with pride, and he couldn¡¯t hide his smile at all. When He Hongyun heard his father¡¯s words and saw the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the others, he was extremely proud. He looked at Li Chengqian with a smile. Then, he realized that Li Chengqian was still reading with his head lowered. His face was calm and focused, as if he had not heard what He Jingguo said at all. ¡°Sure, you keep on pretending!¡± He Hongyun was a little dissatisfied when he didn¡¯t see Li Chengqian¡¯s envious gaze. ¡°He Jingguo, congratulations!¡± Tian Wenming was especially envious and congratulated him. The money He Jingguo was going to earn from this order was more than what he would ever earn in his lifetime. ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal together when the deal is done.¡± He Jingguo didn¡¯t pretend to be humble this time. He was all smiles. ¡°Tian Wenming, let¡¯s not talk about anything else for now. Let¡¯s get down to business first.¡± He Jingguo changed the topic and looked at Li Chengqian and the others. ¡°Tian Wenming, who are these students?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, Zhao Peng, Ding Ling, and Jian Qingli. Li Chengqian, this is Professor He.¡± Tian Wenming quickly started introducing them. He Jingguo nodded and said to Li Chengqian with a smile, ¡°Li Chengqian, I heard that you are very good in programming theory.¡± ¡°Do your best in this competition and strive to enter the finals.¡± He Jingguo also saw the book ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯ in Li Chengqian¡¯s hand. He shook his head. He knew this book. It was a postgraduate course in integrated circuit design. This book was equivalent to three years of postgraduate courses! One could imagine how difficult it was. Even if he wanted to learn integrated circuits, he should start with the most basic analog circuits and digital circuits. It was a joke to jump directly to integrate circuits. ¡°He¡¯s clearly studying software technology, but he¡¯s reading books related to integrated circuits. He is not focused, it will be hard for him to achieve anything.¡± He Jingguo judged Li Chengqian in his heart. Then, He Jingguo¡¯s gaze moved away from Li Chengqian and looked at Tian Wenming. ¡°Tian Wenming, since everyone is here, take them to get their competition passes. I still have something to do at the provincial office, so I¡¯ll make a move first.¡± Chapter 64 - 64 Youre Still Young, Dont Mess Around 64 You¡¯re Still Young, Don¡¯t Mess Around Under Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s lead, the few of them went to the data center to get their competition passes. As He Hongyun was a local of Tianbao City, he went home after receiving his competition pass. The others went to the front desk of the hotel together. Tian Wenming made arrangements for them. ¡°Jian Qingli, Ding Ling, the two of you will stay in one room. Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng will stay in one room.¡± As they were on a school trip, the accommodation was paid out of school funds. They were thus on a budget and could only stay in a standard room. ¡°Teacher Tian, I need to inform you that due to some special circumstances, I need to stay alone.¡± He had received a call from Qin Datong earlier, asking him to prepare to go to the provincial office on Monday to conduct a demonstration of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. He was also asked to submit a report within a day. Apart from this, he still had to continue writing the core code of the Divine Dragon Operating System at night. When the time came, he would need to use the Mental Coding skill. He absolutely couldn¡¯t allow anyone to see the epileptic-like state he would be in. Seeing that Tian Wenming seemed to be considering his request, Li Chengqian hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher Tian, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll pay for the accommodation myself. I won¡¯t use the school¡¯s funds.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I mean,¡± Tian Wenming said solemnly. He first glanced at Li Chengqian, then at Ding Ling. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, his gaze said it all. He felt that Li Chengqian had other motives for staying in a room alone. Because of Tian Wenming¡¯s gaze, Ding Ling¡¯s face instantly turned red. Even her ears turned red. Zhao Peng whistled and had a mischievous smile on his face. Jian Qingli was visibly upset. She didn¡¯t say a word and looked at Li Chengqian, wanting to see how he would respond. Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes lit up as he secretly sized up Jian Qingli. There was desire burning in his eyes. ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I really have something on.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any bad intentions at all. However, now that this happened, his heart skipped a beat and he started having some thoughts. At the age of 17 or 18, teenagers¡¯ hormones are raging and they are filled with fantasies about the opposite sex. Although Li Chengqian had been reborn and his mentality was that of an adult, his body was only 17 years old. Tian Wenming stared into Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes for about 10 seconds. Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s determined gaze, he agreed because he felt that even if he didn¡¯t agree now, Li Chengqian would still move out to stay alone later. ¡°I agree to let you stay alone. However, you¡¯re still young and shouldn¡¯t mess around,¡± Tian Wenming instructed seriously. After he heard this, Zhao Peng burst out laughing, and he even whistled as he laughed. Ding Ling¡¯s face was flushed. She was extremely shy, but she had to pretend to be calm. However, she no longer dared to look straight at him. She kept looking down at her toes and her heart was pounding. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she was nervous or shy, but her body was tense and she felt like she was about to stiffen. When Jian Qingli heard this, her face turned red. She secretly cursed in her heart. ¡°I used to think that Teacher Tian Wenming was quite honest. I didn¡¯t expect him to be a bad person.¡± ¡°No, I have to keep an eye on Ding Ling. I can¡¯t let her leave the room.¡± ¡°If she and Li Chengqian really sleep together, I won¡¯t have a chance.¡± Jian Qingli thought about it and found the crux of the issue. ¡°Ding Ling, let¡¯s go to our room first.¡± Jian Qingli pulled Ding Ling along. She picked up the room card from the front desk and walked towards the elevator. As she walked, she turned around and said to Tian Wenming, ¡°Teacher, we¡¯ll go up first.¡± As Jian Qingli spoke, she looked at Li Chengqian with a faint smile. There was smugness in her eyes as if she had won the battle. It was as if she was saying to Li Chengqian, ¡°I¡¯m keeping my eyes on Ding Ling, you can¡¯t do anything with her.¡± Li Chengqian watched as Ding Ling disappeared into the elevator. While he felt lost, he also became hopeful. His heart started palpitating. ¡°Will she really come looking for me tonight?¡± Bi Jialiang looked crestfallen as he watched Jian Qingli leave. When Li Chengqian proposed that he stay alone, his heart was also thumping. He became even more excited after hearing what Teacher Tian Wenming said. At night, if Dingling went to Li Chengqian¡¯s room¡­ Jian Qingli would be all alone in her room. This way, his chances were much higher. He didn¡¯t dare to think too deeply now. It would be a blissful thing even if Jian Qingli let him enter the room only to chat. If something else happened along the way, that would be wonderful. However, Bi Jialiang could clearly see that Jian Qingli did not even look at him when she left. Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Chengqian. ¡°The person Jian Qingli is paying attention to is Li Chengqian.¡± This thought made him extremely upset. ¡°I must do better than Li Chengqian in this competition. I must defeat Li Chengqian.¡± Bi Jialiang was still very confident in defeating Li Chengqian. Not only did he think so, but his teammate, He Hongyun, also felt the same way. ¡°I will prove that I am better than Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang, what are you thinking about?¡± Tian Wenming patted Bi Jialiang when he saw him staring blankly at the elevator. Bi Jialiang came back to his senses and his expression turned bitter. Only then did he remember that he was sharing a room with Teacher Tian Wenming. At night, even if Ding Ling really went to look for Li Chengqian, with Tian Wenming and in their room keeping an eye on him, he had no way of going to Jian Qingli¡¯s room. ¡°Teacher, I want to stay alone too. What do you think?¡± Bi Jialiang asked tentatively. ¡°No!¡± Tian Wenming refused without hesitation. Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯m going to check your progress tonight. Have you mastered the key points highlighted by Dr. He yesterday?¡± Under the influence of his hormones, Bi Jialiang suggested unwillingly, ¡°Teacher, we can do the test first. After the test, let me stay alone, okay? You¡¯ve already agreed to let Li Chengqian stay alone. You must be fair.¡± ¡°No!¡± Tian Wenming rejected Bi Jialiang flatly and then dealt him a fatal blow. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s results allow him to choose any university in the country. Can you do that? Your only chance is the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Do you understand?¡± After Tian Wenming said this, Bi Jialiang kept quiet and didn¡¯t mention staying alone again. Seeing Bi Jialiang¡¯s defeated expression, Tian Wenming spoke again, ¡°There¡¯s another very important reason. I think your team has a chance of entering the top 50 in the country, which is why I¡¯ve put in so much effort on your team. You have to cherish this opportunity. Seize it and your life will be very different. You have a long journey ahead and there will be plenty of opportunities.¡± After Bi Jialiang heard this, he perked up and no longer looked dispirited. ¡°Thank you for your support, Teacher. I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± Although Tian Wenming didn¡¯t state explicitly, Bi Jialiang understood Tian Wenming¡¯s hidden message. Tian Wenming felt that he had a chance of entering the top 50, and that was why he took the trouble to invest his efforts on him. As for Li Chengqian, he was not hopeful, therefore Tian Wenming left him to his own devices and couldn¡¯t be bothered at all. After Li Chengqian and the others got their room cards, Tian Wenming once again emphasized the time of the competition and the things to take note of. The theory test was in the morning. They have to be at the examination hall at 8:30, the official test starts at 9, and ends at 11. The hands-on programming test was in the afternoon. They have to be at the examination hall at 2, the official test starts at 2:30 and ends at 5:30. Chapter 65 - 65 Young People Must Exercise Restraint 65 Young People Must Exercise Restraint Meanwhile in the room, Li Chengqian¡¯s body twitched and trembled. His face turned pale and haggard. Don¡¯t get the wrong idea. It was just the aftereffect of using the Mental Coding skill. Li Chengqian endured the soreness all over his body and chewed the ten medicinal wolfberries that he had placed in his mouth in advance. After resting for a few minutes, he finally recovered his strength. Then, he looked at the program document for the Divine Dragon Operating System core. [Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 11.5%!] With the enhancement of the skill for 10 minutes, he completed 20,000 lines of code and increased the completion rate of the Divine Dragon Operating System core by 2%. ¡°The Mental Coding skill is simply invincible! This efficiency is super amazing!¡± This time, Li Chengqian had learned his lesson. He stopped after using the Mental Coding skill twice, so the soreness in his body was still bearable. ¡°I must get the brainwave receiver done.¡± Feeling the pain in his body, Li Chengqian was determined again. Then, he leaned against the headboard and picked up the ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯ book to continue flipping through it. Unfortunately, he was too disturbed to calm down. ¡°Ding Ling wouldn¡¯t come over tonight, would she?¡± After this thought came to his mind, his heart started palpitating, and he became excited. Knock, knock, knock¡­ At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Li Chengqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the door. He asked expectantly, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Qin Datong!¡± A deep male voice came from outside the door. Qin Datong had to report to the provincial office on the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software the following day, thus he needed to have a better understanding of the software. After knowing Li Chengqian¡¯s room number, he came over directly. Li Chengqian excitement died instantly. He was extremely disappointed and became listless. He adjusted his mood, opened the door, and invited Qin Datong in. ¡°Yo, looks like you don¡¯t welcome me. You look disappointed. Could it be that you¡¯re waiting for your little girlfriend?¡± Qin Datong said with a smile. Although Li Chengqian hid it very well, he had worked for so many years and had seen all kinds of people. How could Li Chengqian¡¯s emotions escape his eyes? ¡°Captain Qin, there¡¯s no such thing!¡± Li Chengqian naturally denied it. ¡°We¡¯re all men. What¡¯s there to be shy about? When we¡¯re 17 or 18 years old, everyone is the same. This is determined by genes. This is the reproduction instinct of living things,¡± Qin Datong said with a knowing smile. ¡°Captain Qin, let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Li Chengqian had thought that Qin Datong was a serious person. He didn¡¯t expect him to have such a cheeky side. Qin Datong¡¯s expression turned serious. He took out the materials he had prepared and handed them to Li Chengqian. ¡°Tomorrow at around 10:30 am, Chief Zhao will recommend the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to the leaders. This is the report.¡± ¡°Take a look at the data in the report and see if there¡¯s any information you wish to supplement.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. He took the report and read it word by word. The two of them discussed the items one by one. They finally finished editing the report at 2 a.m. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s about it.¡± Qin Datong stretched and stood up tiredly. ¡°You still have a competition tomorrow. Rest early¡­¡± Although Qin Datong felt that with Li Chengqian¡¯s programming skills, he would win the Junior Informatics Programming Competition for sure. ¡°I¡¯ll call you if anything crops up tomorrow.¡± Qin Datong stood at the door and looked at Li Chengqian with a hint of envy. He would go to the provincial office the next day to propose purchasing the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. Chief Zhao would attend personally and testify how the 36 cases had been solved. They would also submit the test report of the software. There was a 99% chance that the provincial office will purchase the data restoration software. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Chengqian would soon become a multi-millionaire. ¡°Also, young people must exercise restraint. Why are you eating wolfberries at this age? If you start eating wolfberries now, what will happen when you reach our age!¡± Qin Datong pointed at the glass jar that Li Chengqian had placed on the bedside table. There were red wolfberries in the jar. ¡°Chief Qin, it¡¯s not what you think.¡± Li Chengqian also looked embarrassed. He used wolfberries to recover his strength. It had nothing to do with what Qin Datong said at all, but Li Chengqian could not explain it to Qin Datong. ¡­ In the other room, Ding Ling and Jian Qingli went to bed early after they arrived. They had turned off all the lights in the room, but neither Jian Qingli nor Ding Ling was asleep. Ding Ling was lovesick and her heart was still pounding. She hid under the sheets as she was a bundle of nerves, shy and anxious at the same time. Various mages popped up in her mind from time to time, making her blush. She didn¡¯t dare let anyone see the state she was in. Jian Qingli wasn¡¯t sleeping either. She kept her eyes on Ding Ling. There was no way on earth she would let Ding Ling out of the room tonight. Tian Wenming and Bi Jialiang weren¡¯t asleep either. Bi Jialiang was memorizing the most important knowledge points of the competition. Teacher Tian Wenming was especially meticulous. He tested Bi Jialiang on every knowledge point until he answered everything correctly. Only then did he move on to test him on the next knowledge point. Only Zhao Peng was sleeping like a baby in his room. The next morning, at seven o¡¯clock, Teacher Tian Wenming brought everyone to the hotel cafe. ¡°What did you guys do last night?¡± Zhao Peng looked around after he took a seat. He was extremely surprised to find that everyone except him looked dispirited and exhausted. Furthermore, everyone had huge dark circles under their eyes. ¡°Bi Jialiang and I were revising the knowledge points for the competition last night. We only went to bed at four in the morning.¡± After Tian Wenming explained himself, his gaze shifted to Li Chengqian and the other two. ¡°Hiss¡­ Could it be¡­¡± Zhao Peng seemed to have thought of something. His eyes instantly widened as he looked at Li Chengqian in shock. ¡°What¡¯s with that look! It¡¯s not what you think!¡± Li Chengqian glared at Zhao Peng unhappily. ¡°Last night, Qin Datong came to look for me. I chatted with him until two in the morning before going to bed.¡± In fact, after Qin Datong left, he had also spent a long time trying to fall asleep. In the end, he had no choice but to use the Rational Thinking skill to calm his mind before he finally fell asleep. It had to be said that the Rational Thinking skill was also a divine skill for calming the mind and soothing the nerves. ¡°Ding Ling, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s focus shifted to Ding Ling¡¯s face. Ding Ling blushed instantaneously. But she was wearing a hat and a mask, which only revealed her tired eyes and the dark circles around them, so no one knew that she was blushing. Ding Ling had always been aloof. Other than being warm to Li Chengqian, she had always been cold to others. Therefore, although she was shy in her heart, she pretended to be cold. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Zhao Peng choked on his words. After feeling awkward for a while, he turned his gaze to Jian Qingli. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! You¡¯re a grown man and yet you are long winded like an old lady,¡± Jian Qingli retorted bluntly. Zhao Peng almost choked to death. ¡°Alright, hurry up and eat. After we are done, we¡¯ll wait at the entrance of the competition hall. He Hongyun will meet us at the entrance.¡± Tian Wenming said seriously, but there was a twinkle in his eyes. Chapter 66 - 66 The Preliminaries Starts 66 The Preliminaries Starts At the entrance of the Big Data Center, under Tian Wenming¡¯s lead, the team stood under the huge screen outside the Data Center. There was a line of red text on the screen: Arena of the Fifteenth Junior Informatics Programming Competition. On the road in front of Tian Wenming and the others, a brand new BMW X7 was parked by the roadside. He Jingguo and He Hongyun got out of the car arrogantly. ¡°Tian Wenming, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m late as I wasn¡¯t familiar with this car that I had just bought.¡± He Jingguo patted the car. There was nothing but smugness on his face. ¡°He Jingguo, it¡¯s only 7:50 now, you¡¯re not late. The timing is just right.¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity and envy as he sized up He Jingguo¡¯s new car. ¡°When did you buy this car? How much is it? It looks very high-end!¡± Tian Wenming asked enviously. ¡°This car is imported. It only costs 1.8 million yuan, it¡¯s not that expensive, ¡± He Jingguo said proudly. ¡°Wow¡­ It¡¯s so expensive!¡± Tian Wenming gasped. He usually didn¡¯t care much about cars, so he only knew that BMWs were very expensive, but he really didn¡¯t know that they were so ridiculously expensive. He had wanted to test drive the car, but after hearing the price, he killed the thought instantaneously. Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes were filled with envy when he heard the price of the car. When Jian Qingli heard that the car was so expensive, she saw He Hongyun in a different light. Zhao Peng pursed his lips indifferently. He Jingguo¡¯s boastful introduction made his impression of He Jingguo worse. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a lousy car.¡± ¡°As if he¡¯s the only one to own one.¡± ¡°You are just a bunch of sour grapes.¡± He Hongyun sneered and said disdainfully when he heard Zhao Peng¡¯s muttering. Ding Ling had been staying close by Li Chengqian¡¯s side the entire time. All her attention was on Li Chengqian. She didn¡¯t pay attention to what He Jingguo said about the price at all. At this moment, Li Chengqian was holding a book titled ¡®Analog and Digital Circuits Explained¡¯. He was reading it very quickly. Although this book was also very difficult, it was nothing compared to ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯. Li Chengqian found it a breeze to read. He had heard He Jingguo bragging, but couldn¡¯t be bothered at all. ¡°Son, give your best in the competition. As long as you can get into the top three in the preliminary round, I¡¯ll reward you with a two-million yuan sports car,¡± He Jingguo said generously. At noon today, the provincial office would place their order for his data restoration software. Twenty million yuan would be transferred to his account in a week. A sports car worth two million yuan was naturally not a problem. Bi Jialiang looked at He Hongyun enviously. ¡°He¡¯s really impressive, awesome.¡± ¡°Xiaobi, you have to work hard too,¡± He Hongyun encouraged Bi Jialiang with a smile. ¡°Tian Wenming, I¡¯ll take my leave first. I might have to sign the contract with the provincial office today. I have to prepare in advance and might be very busy today. I¡¯ll leave He Hongyun in your good hands today.¡± He Jingguo said with a smug smile on his face. He glanced around before getting into the car and leaving. Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng were standing together with Tian Wenming. It was as if he didn¡¯t see the two of them at all. He didn¡¯t even greet them when he left. He never took Li Chengqian seriously from the get go. ¡°He¡¯s so full of himself just because of some minor success. Beware, pride come before fall!¡± Zhao Peng snorted coldly. ¡°Contract? Ha!¡± Zhao Peng said knowingly. When he mentioned the word contract, he sneered. ¡°Li Chengqian, He Hongyun, hurry up and enter the competition hall.¡± Tian Wenming watched the BMW leave. He turned around and spoke to Li Chengqian and He Hongyun. In the first theory test of the preliminary round, only one person from each team was needed. Needless to say, Li Chengqian would represent his team. After careful consideration, Tian Wenming chose He Hongyun to represent Bi Jialiang¡¯s team. Although Bi Jialiang was unwilling, he knew from the past two days of interaction that He Hongyun¡¯s theoretical knowledge was indeed a little better than his. He Hongyun nodded at Tian Wenming and quickly stepped forward. His voice was filled with animosity. ¡°Li Chengqian, I hope that you will still score full marks this time. Although it¡¯s useless to score full marks.¡± In the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, the theory test only took up 40% of the score. The real deciding factor had always been the hands-on segment. Moreover, the theory test for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition was well known for being very tough. In the past ten years, it was very rare for people to score 70 marks, and fewer than five people have done so. One was considered very good if he achieved a pass. Most people couldn¡¯t even score the passing mark, which was 60. That was why He Hongyun said that. ¡°Also, we¡¯re participating in a programming competition this time. I see that you¡¯ve been reading books on hardware since you arrived at the hotel. Let me remind you that you¡¯ve been reading the wrong book.¡± He Hongyun had a look of disdain on his face and a cold smile on his lips. He had a good memory. Li Chengqian was reading ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯ the day before. Today, he was holding ¡®Analog and Digital Circuits Explained¡¯. ¡®Introduction to Integrated Circuits¡¯ is course material for a three-year postgraduate course, and ¡®Analog and Digital Circuits Explained¡¯ is course material for a four-year undergraduate course. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing I need to remind you. The two books you¡¯ve been reading require four years of undergraduate and three years of graduate school. It takes a total of seven years to finish them. You¡¯ve learned the graduate school curriculum yesterday and the university curriculum today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply a prodigy!¡± He Hongyun¡¯s tone was exaggerated, his voice filled with mockery. ¡°Those who didn¡¯t know better will think that you¡¯re impressive, but in the eyes of those who know the industry, you¡¯re a phony. You¡¯re an idiot!¡± He Hongyun felt his mood improve after he spoke his mind. He felt that he had given vent to the annoyance that had accumulated in his heart over the past few days. After releasing a few hearty laughs, he strode into the competition hall with a smug expression. When Bi Jialiang heard He Hongyun¡¯s words, he also laughed. He looked at Li Chengqian as if he was looking at a joke. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, her eyes flickering. Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian with full confidence. There was only one thought in her heart, ¡°Li Chengqian has never lied to me!¡± ¡°Captain, don¡¯t lower yourself to the level of these despicable people. Do your best. If you¡¯re pissed, I¡¯ll teach He Hongyun a lesson for you when the exam is over,¡± Zhao Peng said angrily. Recalling the scene two days ago at Tianyi High School, when Li Chengqian was writing codes and reading them out for him to enter into the computer, Zhao Peng was once again traumatized. He cursed in his heart, ¡°He Hongyun, you idiot. You have not seen what Awesome Li is capable of. You know nothing about what a genius he is.¡± ¡°You called Awesome Li an idiot. You¡¯re the real idiot.¡± Li Chengqian was calm, and his expression didn¡¯t change at all. He flipped over the last page of the book, ¡®Analog and Digital Circuits Explained¡¯, and then handed the book to Zhao Peng. ¡°I¡¯m going in for the exam.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and greeted everyone before walking into the competition hall. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the hotel. We¡¯ll come down after they finish.¡± The hotel was opposite the competition hall and was very nearby. ¡°Teacher, I want to wait for Li Chengqian here,¡± Ding Ling said coldly. ¡°This is an online exam. The results will be released when the response is submitted. Those who did well will have their names and scores displayed on the big screen.¡± ¡°It¡¯ll be easier for us to see the exam results from the hotel,¡± Tian Wenming explained. ¡°Furthermore, Li Chengqian and the others will take some time. I don¡¯t think you guys have slept well. Everyone, go back and have a good sleep to prepare for the competition in the afternoon.¡± The competition in the afternoon was on a team basis. Everyone would have to participate. Chapter 67 - 67 Full Marks for the Test 67 Full Marks for the Test Li Chengqian found his seat based on the serial number on his competition pass. The computer used for the exam had already been turned on. A countdown timer on the screen has been activated. ¡°12 minutes and 54 seconds to the theory exam¡­¡± Behind the translucent countdown timer, the relevant information of this paper was displayed. After the countdown ended, he had to enter his name, ID card, serial number, and other relevant information. He also had to undergo facial recognition before the exam could officially begin. Above the competition hall, there were cameras that covered the entire hall, there wasn¡¯t any spot that wasn¡¯t reached. With all these measures in place, there was no chance of anyone cheating. Soon, the countdown ended. After Li Chengqian entered his personal information, the test questions for the preliminary round of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition appeared in front of him. ¡°1. After a computer is powered up, which component is the first to be activated?¡± ¡°A. CPU, B. Memory, C. Hard drive, D. BIOS.¡± ¡°F*ck, what kind of question is this?¡± When everyone saw the first question, most of them were dumbfounded. They racked their brains but couldn¡¯t find any relevant knowledge. ¡°It¡¯s so difficult!¡± ¡°Who set this question? F*ck, the question is beyond the scope.¡± A wail came from the competition hall. ¡°Quiet, quiet! If I find out who¡¯s talking again, I¡¯ll send him out immediately, and he will be marked with a zero score.¡± The invigilator looked around the competition hall and shouted coldly. Instantly, there was silence in the competition hall. Everyone scratched their heads, thinking hard. Li Chengqian took a look at the question and smiled. He chose D straight away. This question was easy. After he answered the first question, the second question and the corresponding list of answers were displayed. Li Chengqian took a glance. It was also a very basic question, so he chose the answer straight away. There were 50 multiple-choice questions in this test. Li Chengqian completed all the multiple-choice questions at a speed of three seconds per question. It took him about three minutes. While the other examinees were still racking their brains over the third multiple-choice question, Li Chengqian had already started solving the True/False question. He finished all 10 True/False questions within a minute. There were 10 fill-in-the-blank questions. As he needed to type in the answers, it took him a while, and he used two minutes. Li Chengqian then took 15 minutes to answer the last three subjective questions. After typing the last code, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any intention of checking at all. He pressed the ¡®submit¡¯ button in the bottom right corner straightaway. On the computer screen, Li Chengqian¡¯s test results were tabulated. ¡°The results of your test are as follows: You took 21 minutes and completed all the questions.¡± ¡°You got 50 multiple-choice questions correct. 100% accuracy. 50 marks.¡± ¡°You got 10 True/False questions correct. 100% accuracy. 10 marks.¡± ¡°You got 10 fill-in-the-blank questions correct. 100% accuracy. 10 marks.¡± ¡°Subjective questions pending review by the examiner.¡± ¡°This test is over.¡± Then, the words that had just appeared faded away. The screen of the computer was locked. In the middle of the computer screen was this message: ¡°The paper has been submitted. This test is over.¡± Li Chengqian was not surprised by the results of the test. After his rebirth, he had been reading software and hardware books. With 19 Intelligence points as the foundation, and with the enhancement of the Focus skill, his memory, comprehension, and logical thinking abilities had greatly improved. His understanding of software, computer hardware, operating systems, and so on had already reached an unprecedented level. Even if the questions in the test were a hundred times harder than this, he could still score full marks. Because he was preoccupied with the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian raised his hand after the test ended. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m done with the test. May I leave now?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± The invigilator glanced at Li Chengqian¡¯s computer. After confirming that the screen showed that he had submitted his paper, he nodded expressionlessly. He submitted his paper in 20 minutes. He clearly didn¡¯t know how to answer the questions! He must have felt that there was no point in staying on, so he completed the test haphazardly. ¡°Tianyi High School, Li Chengqian!¡± He casually glanced at the exam information pasted on Li Chengqian¡¯s computer and thought to himself, This Tianyi High School is definitely not a good school. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have sent such a person to the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Most of the examinees were still thinking hard about the multiple-choice question. When they saw Li Chengqian submit his paper leave, they said, ¡°This brother must have simply given up.¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s too difficult. I don¡¯t even know how to answer a single question. I really want to fill in the answers haphazardly, but I¡¯m afraid that my teacher will beat me up.¡± ¡­ In another competition hall, He Hongyun¡¯s expression was solemn, as if he was deep in thought. ¡°The questions this time are too difficult. Of the 30 multiple-choice questions I just did, I¡¯m only sure about 23 questions.¡± He Hongyun glanced around and realized that everyone was scratching their heads too. ¡°If I find it difficult, the others will definitely find it even harder.¡± He Hongyun was very confident. ¡°My knowledge is not inferior to university students who specialize in software technology.¡± ¡°If I can answer 23 out of 30 questions, then the others can only answer 10 questions at most, I¡¯ll give them 15 questions tops.¡± He Hongyun was extremely proud and confident of his knowledge. ¡°I¡¯ve seen the programming questions that Tianyi High School used for the last test. It¡¯s not difficult. I could easily score full marks.¡± Then, He Hongyun thought of Li Chengqian. His heart was filled with arrogance. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal that Li Chengqian scored full marks.¡± ¡°The questions this time are too difficult. If the content Li Chengqian was reviewing was the previous year¡¯s Junior Informatics Programming Competition, he could only score 50 marks at most. He won¡¯t even be able to get a passing score of 60 marks.¡± ¡°Luckily for me, Dad has highlighted most of the key areas for me to revise. Otherwise, I would only be able to pass.¡± ¡°That arrogant Li Chengqian. He actually took a leave of absence from my father¡¯s lecture. He didn¡¯t even cherish such a good opportunity.¡± ¡°I must tell him later that these questions were all knowledge points that my father highlighted.¡± He Hongyun¡¯s face was filled with arrogance and pride. He was delighted just visualizing Li Chengqian being regretful. ¡°He must be thinking hard about the questions like everyone else.¡± He Hongyun imagined Li Chengqian scratching his head and he continued to do the questions happily. ¡°I wonder if he would still be as arrogant when he failed the test.¡± ¡°I wonder if he would still have the cheek to walk around with those ridiculous books¡­¡± Backstage in the data center, when Li Chengqian chose to submit his paper, a notification sounded. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s only been 20 minutes, and someone has already submitted his paper? His paper has even been assigned to me for review?¡± Shi Chengsan was one of the markers. He specialized in reviewing the subjective questions for this exam. When he heard the notification, he casually turned on the marking system on his computer. He had just seen the questions for this test. They were very difficult! A person who submitted the paper in 20 minutes was most likely clueless and had given up. Therefore, he didn¡¯t pay much attention and started to review the paper casually. After seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s answers, he was all eyes. After reviewing, he found that Li Chengqian got all three subjective questions correct! Shi Chengsan was astonished. ¡°He got all three subjective questions correct! What a feat!¡± ¡°Moreover, he submitted his paper within 20 minutes. This person is a genius! Let me see how he did with the other questions.¡± Shi Chengsan was overjoyed when he saw Li Chengqian¡¯s results for the other questions. Multiple choice questions, full marks! True/False questions, full marks! Fill-in-the-blank questions, full marks! ¡°What an outstanding student. He actually didn¡¯t make a single mistake and scored full marks! How is this possible?¡± After Shi Chengsan saw Li Chengqian¡¯s results, he was stunned and found it unbelievable. This was because even if he were to attempt this test, he would only be able to score 80 marks at most. And Li Chengqian actually scored full marks! This meant that Li Chengqian¡¯s grasp of the basics was even more solid than a lecturer from the university¡¯s Information Technology faculty. ¡°What? Someone scored full marks?¡± When the other teachers heard Shi Chengsan¡¯s exclamation, they all surrounded him in disbelief. ¡°Look, this student called Li Chengqian only took 21 minutes for the test! In such a short period of time, he actually scored full marks. He¡¯s really amazing!¡± ¡°Full marks, that¡¯s awesome!¡± ¡°This is a programming genius!¡± ¡°Quick, bring up the video of his exam and see if he cheated.¡± Chen Lili, the supervisor of this competition, also rushed over. After understanding the situation, she immediately made arrangements. ¡°The Junior Informatics Programming Competition has been held for fourteen years. No one has ever scored full marks in the theory test. The highest score was 83 points, that was during the fifth year! He¡¯s currently studying for a master¡¯s degree at Divine Dragon University. His academic level is extremely high. He has already received an invitation to work at BAT.¡± ¡°This will be a historic moment in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, a student who scored full marks! We must take it seriously and do proper verifications.¡± ¡°We must not leak any news about this. No one is allowed to spread it. Don¡¯t post the results on the big screen for the time being. We¡¯ll announce it after we have done the verifications.¡± ¡°There are still two hours until the end of the test. We have plenty of time to do these things,¡± Chen Lili said worriedly. Chapter 68 - 68 He Hongyun, First Place 68 He Hongyun, First Place After Li Chengqian came out of the hall, he looked around but didn¡¯t see Ding Ling and the others. ¡°It¡¯s still early. I¡¯ll go browse and buy some books to read.¡± After discovering a bookstore not far away, Li Chengqian strode over. He submitted his paper early for two reasons. Firstly, the questions were indeed too simple. There was no point in staying in the competition hall. Secondly, he needed to continue reading and absorbing knowledge. He had initially thought that creating a brainwave receiver was not a difficult task. However, after learning about integrated circuits, digital circuits, and analog circuits, he realized that he had underestimated the task. This thing was indeed very difficult. There was a lot of knowledge involved. If he wanted to create a brain wave receiver, not only did he have to have high level software knowledge, he also had to master the technology related to gathering, amplifying, and noise reduction of brain waves. If he wanted to realize these abilities, he had to use a special chip, which was a special CPU manufactured by AMD. In addition, he also needed to have a detailed understanding of brain waves and a good understanding of the functional areas of the brain. The brainwave receiver may only look like a helmet, but this thing was really a huge system. Once it was developed, it would have a great impact on the information industry. ¡­ Meanwhile, He Hongyun submitted his paper at the last minute, just as the theory test ended. On the computer screen, his test results were tabulated. ¡°The results of your test are as follows: You took 2 hours 29 minutes and completed all the questions.¡± ¡°You got 35 multiple-choice questions correct. 70% accuracy. 35 marks.¡± ¡°You got 8 True/False questions correct. 80% accuracy. 8 marks.¡± ¡°You got 6 fill-in-the-blank questions correct. 60% accuracy. 6 marks.¡± ¡°Subjective questions pending review by the examiner.¡± ¡°This test is over.¡± He Hongyun did a mental calculation of his test score and revealed a confident smile. ¡°I scored 49 marks out of 70 marks, 70% accuracy.¡± ¡°Of the three subjective questions, I¡¯m very confident about two of them, and I should be able to score some marks for the third one.¡± ¡°My final score should be at least 70 marks!¡± ¡°In the previous competition, the first place in the theory test only scored 71 marks!¡± ¡°The questions for this competition are much harder than the previous one! I can definitely be in the top three for the theory test.¡± He Hongyun stood up from his seat. A series of sighs came from all over. ¡°Other than subjective questions, my luck was bad. I only scored 15 marks!¡± ¡°I scored 20 marks!¡± ¡°I scored 18 marks!¡± ¡°I scored 24 marks. I don¡¯t know how to answer the subjective questions.¡± ¡°What a coincidence. I don¡¯t know either.¡± ¡°That damn question is so difficult and unexpected.¡± ¡°The Junior Informatics Programming Competition has really lived up to its reputation.¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s whining, He Hongyun¡¯s face was filled with arrogance as he walked out of the competition hall. ¡°Which competition hall is Li Chengqian in? I can¡¯t wait to tell him my score.¡± ¡°And see the look on his face.¡± He felt that Li Chengqian definitely wouldn¡¯t do as well as him, and his score won¡¯t be as high as his! ¡°I heard that the results of this theory test will be released in batches within the next half an hour.¡± ¡°The top ten students¡¯ names, schools, and marks will be displayed on the big screen in real time.¡± Based on past experience, the marks will be shown on the screen and they will be ranked as they are released. The final ranking would be released at one in the afternoon. When He Hongyun walked out, Tian Wenming and the others were already waiting at the entrance of the competition hall. ¡°How did you do?¡± Tian Wenming asked with concern. ¡°I would score at least 70 marks!¡± He Hongyun said with a smug smile. ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± Tian Wenming nodded seriously. He had a satisfied look in his eyes. ¡°The highest score in last year¡¯s theory test was 71 marks. If you score 70 marks, you are already in the top tier.¡± ¡°Teacher Tian, this year¡¯s questions are much harder than last year¡¯s. It¡¯s very difficult to score as high as the highest score last year,¡± He Hongyun said proudly. He was confident of his results. He felt that he had a high chance of coming in first in the theory test. Although He Hongyun didn¡¯t say it directly, Tian Wenming understood what he meant. ¡°It¡¯s good to have confidence.¡± He felt that He Hongyun¡¯s arrogance and confidence were a little too much, but now wasn¡¯t the time to destroy his confidence. After Jian Qingli heard what He Hongyun said, her eyes lit up. ¡°It would be great if He Hongyun could get first place. Then, he would be able to cut Li Chengqian down to size. I humbly begged to join his team and he actually rejected me.¡± ¡°He would rather have a timid little fatty than let me join his team. This egomaniac! B*stard!¡± Jian Qingli thought of Li Chengqian rejecting her and gritted her teeth in hatred. Zhao Peng curled his lips in disdain. He was very disdainful of what He Hongyun said. ¡°Teacher Tian, look at the big screen. The results are already starting to appear.¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s eyes were fixed on the big screen, and the names on the big screen kept jumping. Every time someone with higher marks appeared, the name on the tenth position would be displaced. On the big screen, the current first place score was 48 marks, and the last place scored 38 marks. The average score was only 40 marks. Some statistics were also shown on the big screen, such as the number of papers that have been graded, and the average results. There were a total of 287 candidates participating in the competition in Jinshan Province. Currently, 53 test papers have been graded and the average score was 32 marks. ¡°This is unbelievable! The average score is actually so low.¡± Bi Jialiang found it hard to believe. ¡°It¡¯s indeed too low. The average score for last year¡¯s exam was 45 marks!¡± Tian Wenming looked at the results on the big screen and found it unbelievable too. ¡°This is because the questions this year are very difficult!¡± He Hongyun had a smug smile on his face as he emphasized the difficulty of the exam again. ¡°That¡¯s why I said that the highest score for this year¡¯s theory test will be lower than last year¡¯s. Perhaps, if I score 70 marks, I would be the highest scorer for this test,¡± he said conceitedly. ¡°It¡¯s possible!¡± Tian Wenming nodded. He was even looking forward to it. If He Hongyun got first place in the test, he would also look good. Everyone kept their eyes on the big screen. One hundred and fifty test papers had been graded, and the top score was only 57 marks. The overall average score had gone down by one mark to 31 marks. ¡°He Hongyun, have you seen Li Chengqian? Why hasn¡¯t he come out yet?¡± Zhao Peng asked anxiously as he looked left and right. Most of the people in the competition hall had already left, and he still didn¡¯t see Li Chengqian come out. Ding Ling had already run to the exit of the competition hall. She was especially anxious and kept looking inside. ¡°I didn¡¯t see him! I don¡¯t know why he didn¡¯t come out, but I¡¯m guessing he might be too embarrassed to come out because he didn¡¯t do well.¡± He Hongyun said with a smug look on his face. ¡°He Hongyun, don¡¯t be smug. Li Chengqian¡¯s results haven¡¯t been released yet. If you talk big now, and Li Chengqian¡¯s results turn out to be better than yours, I¡¯m afraid you wouldn¡¯t know where to look.¡± When Zhao Peng heard this, he felt especially uncomfortable in his heart. His voice was filled with displeasure. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± He Hongyun sneered in disdain. ¡°He Hongyun, you¡¯re first! 73 marks! Second place is 57 marks. A 16-mark gap. Amazing!¡± Bi Jialiang said excitedly when he saw He Hongyun¡¯s name on the big screen. ¡°He Hongyun, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Jian Qingli was beaming with joy. She looked at He Hongyun with admiration. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t think that you¡¯re the only capable person in the world! He Hongyun is better than you.¡± ¡°Did you just say that you¡¯re afraid that I¡¯ll be embarrassed?¡± After seeing the results, the smugness on He Hongyun¡¯s face intensified. He looked at Zhao Peng mockingly. ¡°Look, I¡¯m first! You should be the one to feel embarrassed.¡± He Hongyun pointed at the rankings and marks on the big screen like a victor. He patted Zhao Peng¡¯s shoulder and laughed proudly. Zhao Peng was so angry that his face turned green. This was the first time he had seen someone so smug and arrogant after just a minor victory. Chapter 69 - 69 Historical Results 1 69 Historical Results 1 ¡°Ding Ling, I¡¯m here.¡± Li Chengqian walked out of the bookstore and happened to hear Ding Ling anxiously calling his name at the examination hall. He hurriedly responded. ¡°Captain, when did you come out? Why didn¡¯t you tell us? We were almost worried to death.¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s spirits lifted when he heard Li Chengqian¡¯s voice. He ignored He Hongyun and ran to Li Chengqian¡¯s side, helping him with some of the books he was carrying. ¡°I submitted my paper in advance and went to the bookstore next door to read,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t do this next time. I was getting worried.¡± Ding Ling also walked over. Her anxious eyes finally calmed down after seeing Li Chengqian. ¡°Here¡¯s your phone. You must bring it with you so that I can contact you.¡± Li Chengqian handed his phone to Ding Ling as cell phones were not allowed in the competition hall. ¡°Mm, it won¡¯t happen again! If there¡¯s such a test next time, I¡¯ll go to the hotel room to look for you after I¡¯m done.¡± Li Chengqian took the phone and smiled at Ding Ling. ¡°Yes.¡± Because of the words ¡®hotel room¡¯, Ding Ling was reminded of what Tian Wenming said the night before. She blushed instantaneously, and even her ears turned red. Her heart was beating wildly, and she was nervous and embarrassed at the same time. At this moment, He Hongyun walked over with a smug expression. ¡°Li Chengqian, I found this test very difficult.¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite difficult,¡± Li Chengqian answered casually. The questions for this competition were not difficult for him, but for ordinary students, it was extremely difficult. ¡°What a pity, what a pity.¡± Suddenly, He Hongyun looked at Li Chengqian as if he was looking at a pitiful worm. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t applied for leave on Friday, you would have been able to score an extra 30 marks. On Saturday, Dr. He helped us spot the topics for this test. We revised according to the topics he highlighted and indeed many of the test questions touched on these topics.¡± ¡°During the test just now, there were a total of 30 marks that came from the topics highlighted by Dr. He.¡± When He Hongyun said this, he felt extremely proud and vindicated. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t applied for leave, you would definitely have gotten these 30 marks. Unfortunately, you didn¡¯t cherish such a good opportunity. Are you regretting it now?¡± He Hongyun said with a hypocritical expression. His gaze towards Li Chengqian was already filled with mockery. After saying that, he kept looking at Li Chengqian. He wanted to see regret on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. From the beginning until the end, Li Chengqian had a calm expression, and he wasn¡¯t affected at all. Li Chengqian was even secretly a tad amused by the high-spirited He Hongyun. If nothing went wrong, he should have scored full marks in this test. He didn¡¯t lose any marks and thus had nothing to regret. What did He Jingguo¡¯s highlighted topics have to do with him? An extra 30 marks? He had already scored full marks, so how could he score an extra 30 marks? Regret? That was impossible. He Hongyun¡¯s smile gradually disappeared when he realized that Li Chengqian was not regretful at all. Then, he pointed at the big screen. His tone was arrogant, and his face was smug. He said again, ¡°Li Chengqian, look at the rankings. I¡¯m in the first place! 73 marks!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not even on the charts.¡± He was furious to see Li Chengqian so calm. Even though he wasn¡¯t on the charts, Li Chengqian was still so calm and arrogant. This made He Hongyun especially upset. ¡°So, what right do you have to be arrogant with me?¡± When he said this, He Hongyun¡¯s voice became cold as if he was questioning Li Chengqian. ¡°He Hongyun, please don¡¯t think too highly of yourself. I don¡¯t regret taking leave, and that¡¯s because I don¡¯t need training!¡± ¡°Furthermore, it was never me who was arrogant, but you. Don¡¯t you know how conceited and arrogant you are?¡± ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Only 250 papers have been graded now. Perhaps I¡¯m not on the charts yet only because my paper hasn¡¯t been graded.¡± ¡°Lastly, please step aside. The books I bought are a little heavy. I need to take them back to the hotel first. Please don¡¯t block the way.¡± Li Chengqian looked at He Hongyun calmly. He answered He Hongyun¡¯s questions one by one, calmly and slowly, and he didn¡¯t show any emotions at all. ¡°Did you hear what our captain said? Get out of the way. Move aside!¡± Zhao Peng wasn¡¯t as polite as Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, let¡¯s go. Ignore this egomaniac. Let¡¯s go back to the hotel and put the books away first.¡± Ding Ling walked over and wanted to help Li Chengqian carry the books, but Li Chengqian declined. ¡°Alright, since everyone is here, let¡¯s go back to the hotel.¡± Tian Wenming walked over at this moment and spoke with a straight face. ¡°Li Chengqian, it sucks not to do well, right? It¡¯s very difficult to accept this reality, right? But this is reality. You have to accept it.¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s tone was joyful. Li Chengqian¡¯s poor results made him feel especially happy. ¡°Li Chengqian, thank you for refusing to let me join your team! Otherwise, I would have been shortchanged.¡± Jian Qingli didn¡¯t say anything, but she was thinking this in her head. ¡°I had thought that you were very good, but now I know that there are many people better than you.¡± When Li Chengqian scored full marks for the second mock exam and the programming theory selection test, Jian Qingli was under the wrong impression that Li Chengqian was invincible and could achieve anything. But she realized that she was wrong after this test. Li Chengqian was not omnipotent. He was not as good as He Hongyun in programming theory. It was displayed on the big screen that 268 people had been graded. Only a few papers had not been graded yet. Li Chengqian¡¯s paper was not likely to be one of these ungraded ones. What did this mean? This meant that Li Chengqian was not in the top ten of this theory test. Jian Qingli looked up at the big screen again and deliberately took a look at the results in the tenth place. Sixty marks! This meant that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even pass the theory test. ¡°Thank you for rejecting me and giving me a chance to go to Divine Dragon University.¡± Jian Qingli smiled. She was a little terrified, to think that if Li Chengqian had agreed at that time, she might really have been eliminated in the preliminary round. ¡°Although He Hongyun is arrogant, he is capable and comes from a good family. He is indeed a more reliable person than Li Chengqian.¡± Thinking of the BMW that He Jingguo drove over in the morning and the 20 million yuan that He Jingguo mentioned in his chat with Tian Wenming, Jian Qingli felt that He Hongyun was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. ¡°Li Chengqian, the theory test is only the beginning. In the next segment of the competition, I will still beat you¡­¡± He Hongyun said proudly. Not only did he want to crush Li Chengqian in the theory test, but he also wanted to crush Li Chengqian in the programming segment in the afternoon. At this moment, everyone in the square suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the big screen in disbelief. In an instant, the top ten rankings that had remained unchanged for some time suddenly got updated. The first place became the third place. First place, Li Chengqian, Tianyi High School, 100 marks. Second place, Du Siyu, Tianbao First High School, 90 marks. Chapter 70 - 70 Never Apologize 70 Never Apologize Everyone suddenly fell silent, and then started chattering all at once. ¡°Someone actually scored full marks!¡± ¡°Do you know this person called Li Chengqian? He¡¯s too awesome. He actually scored full marks on such a difficult paper.¡± Li Chengqian and the others heard all the chattering around them. Zhao Peng was even more excited than Li Chengqian. He suddenly turned around and looked at the big screen. When he saw Li Chengqian¡¯s name at the top of the big screen, and saw that he scored 100 marks, Zhao Peng shouted at the top of his lungs, ¡°Li Chengqian, first place, full marks.¡± Ding Ling smiled and looked at Li Chengqian with pride. She had never doubted Li Chengqian. Earlier on, He Hongyun kept saying that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t do well this time and his name wasn¡¯t on the chart. He deliberately showed off in front of Li Chengqian and belittled him. This made Ding Ling upset, but she kept her cool. Now that she saw that Li Chengqian¡¯s results were even better than He Hongyun¡¯s and he came in first in this theory test, she felt vindicated and relieved. He Hongyun, Bi Jialiang, and Jian Qingli turned around and stared at the big screen in disbelief. When they saw Li Chengqian¡¯s name, ranking, and score clearly, they were dumbfounded. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. It¡¯s such a difficult paper. How can anyone score full marks? How can someone score higher than me?¡± He Hongyun¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. His face fell. Thinking of what he said to mock Li Chengqian just now, he felt his face burning, and he wished the ground would open up and swallow him. ¡°How is this possible? How did Li Chengqian do it? Why does he get full marks in every exam?¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s face was ashen. He simply couldn¡¯t believe the results he saw. Li Chengqian scored full marks in the second mock exam and in Tian Wenming¡¯s selection exam. And now, in the theory test of the Youth Informatics Programming Competition, he had actually scored full marks too! Is he still¡­ human? ¡°How did Li Chengqian become so powerful!¡± Jian Qingli rubbed her eyes and looked at the scores on the big screen. She was so astonished she stood there mouth agape. ¡°This kid¡¯s grasp of theory is really amazing! I had underestimated him previously.¡± Tian Wenming gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up, his eyes filled with admiration. After seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s score, he understood the reason why Li Chengqian took leave. Since he was already so advanced in his knowledge, there was naturally no need for He Jingguo¡¯s training. It would have been a waste of time If he attended the training. ¡°He Hongyun, take a good look. My captain is in first place. He scored 100 marks! You only scored 73 marks! You¡¯re not in first place!¡± ¡°I remember you were looking down on our captain just now. You said that he wasn¡¯t even on the chart and that he was arrogant.¡± ¡°Look at this result. Look at the gap¡­¡± Zhao Peng had an exaggerated smile on his face as he mocked him unceremoniously. ¡°You¡¯re only in third place. Look at how happy you were when you were temporarily in the first place. You might have forgotten what you looked like just now.¡± Zhao Peng was full of rage because of He Hongyun¡¯s mockery. How could he not give it back to He Hongyun now that the opportunity had come? ¡°Do you now know why our captain took leave and didn¡¯t attend your father¡¯s training? It¡¯s because our captain¡¯s standards are higher than your father¡¯s, understand? You think only your father is good, but there are actually many people better than your father,¡± Zhao Peng said with a sneer. ¡°Zhao Peng¡­ don¡¯t go overboard.¡± He Hongyun was very upset after hearing what Zhao Peng said. He flew into a rage out of humiliation. He was seething with anger as he pointed at Zhao Peng. ¡°Overboard? Who¡¯s the one who¡¯s overboard? Who was the one who thought highly of himself and bragged in front of me and the captain just now?¡± Zhao Peng stepped forward, totally disregarding He Hongyun¡¯s rage. ¡°Why? I¡¯ve hit a sore spot haven¡¯t I? You wanna hit me?¡± Zhao Peng looked at He Hongyun disdainfully. If the skinny He Hongyun dared to walk over, he would simply pin him down. He was confident he wouldn¡¯t be able to get up even if he used all his might. ¡°Zhao Peng, Li Chengqian, that¡¯s enough. Stop arguing. Don¡¯t make a fool of yourselves.¡± Tian Wenming stepped forward and separated the two of them. ¡°He Hongyun, apologize to Li Chengqian. You were the one who started this.¡± Tian Wenming looked at He Hongyun. ¡°Teacher Tian, I won¡¯t apologize!¡± He Hongyun¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Li Chengqian, I really didn¡¯t do as well as you in this theory test.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be smug. The theory test is only 40% of the total score. The hands-on programming test is the key to victory. I will definitely beat you in the hands on programming segment.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you to defeat me.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm. He wasn¡¯t at all bothered by He Hongyun¡¯s provocation. In any case, he would be the winner! The others may not know about Li Chengqian¡¯s actual programming abilities, but Zhao Peng was very clear. He had been Li Chengqian¡¯s input tool for a few days and saw first hand how terrifyingly good Awesome Li was. He was a programming genius that exceeded laymen¡¯s comprehension. When he heard He Hongyun¡¯s confident statement, Zhao Peng almost burst out laughing. ¡°This fool actually wants to compete with Awesome Li in hands-on programming? Isn¡¯t he looking for abuse? Even if his father, He Jingguo, were to compete with Li Chengqian, he would be tortured to tears.¡± Zhao Peng held these words in his heart and didn¡¯t say them out loud. Since He Hongyun provoked Li Chengqian, he would wait to see He Hongyun make a fool of himself. ¡°He Hongyun, if you did something wrong, you have to admit it and take responsibility. Apologize to Li Chengqian now.¡± Tian Wenming was starting to get angry. His tone was very heavy as he looked straight at He Hongyun with a firm gaze. ¡°Teacher Tian, I definitely won¡¯t apologize to Li Chengqian. There¡¯s no room for negotiation.¡± He Hongyun¡¯s words were firm. Then, he quickly walked to the roadside. ¡°Teacher Tian, I¡¯ll make my own way here in the afternoon.¡± ¡°My father will come and pick me up. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± When He Hongyun mentioned He Jingguo, he regained his confidence again. Soon, Jingguo Software and the provincial office would sign a contract, and Jingguo Data Company would have 20 million yuan in their account! His family would buy a villa in Tianbao City, and He Jingguo had promised to buy him a sports car. His mood suddenly lifted when he thought of this. ¡°20 million. Even if Li Chengqian and the others work their entire lives, they won¡¯t be able to earn that much money.¡± ¡°Forget about 100 marks. Even if he scored 1,000 marks, what¡¯s the use? So what if he gets into Divine Dragon University? It can¡¯t be exchanged for money.¡± ¡°He will never be as rich as me. I drive a BMW, he can only take the bus, I eat at a five-star hotel, he can only eat at a roadside stall.¡± He Hongyun¡¯s smile became wider and wider. ¡°Eh, Dad said that he would pick me up at 12:30, why isn¡¯t he here yet? Could he have been held up by something?¡± He Hongyun took out his phone and looked at the time. Looking at the traffic on the road, he frowned. Then, he dialed He Jingguo¡¯s number. Chapter 71 - 71 Value for Money 71 Value for Money ¡°Captain, how do you feel? Wasn¡¯t that satisfying?¡± Watching He Hongyun leave with his tail between his legs, Zhao Peng came to Li Chengqian¡¯s side smugly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize before that you have such a vicious tongue?¡± Li Chengqian said. ¡°But I like it.¡± Li Chengqian patted Zhao Peng¡¯s shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. He Hongyun¡¯s arrogant personality was very annoying. ¡°Hehe, Captain, don¡¯t you know me? I¡¯m only sharp-tongued when I¡¯m dealing with arrogant people like He Hongyun. I usually use my glib tongue to tease people just for laughs.¡± Zhao Peng said with a smile. While Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng were chatting and laughing, Bi Jialiang didn¡¯t say a word. He followed Tian Wenming and kept walking with an awkward expression. When Li Chengqian and He Hongyun entered the competition hall earlier, he had been showing off to Zhao Peng. ¡°He Jingguo¡¯s standards are very high. It¡¯s a huge loss for you to take leave and not attend the training.¡± Bi Jialiang was very smug when he said this. However, after Li Chengqian¡¯s results were released, he was totally embarrassed. He lowered his head and didn¡¯t say a word. He was afraid of attracting Zhao Peng¡¯s attention. If Zhao Peng had scolded him like he scolded He Hongyun, it would be really embarrassing. ¡°Don¡¯t lose hope, the hands-on programming test in the afternoon is your team¡¯s forte. Don¡¯t be discouraged.¡± ¡°Actually, 73 marks in the theory test is already a very good result. You can¡¯t compare to Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°Bi Jialiang, you must perform well this afternoon! I still think highly of you.¡±Tian Wenming was a little worried when he saw Bi Jialiang¡¯s dejected look. He tried to cheer him on by saying something encouraging. ¡°Li Chengqian had just learned computing. His actual hands-on programming ability shouldn¡¯t be¡­ good, right? It shouldn¡¯t be¡­ as strong as mine, right?¡± In the past, Bi Jialiang was full of confidence. He felt that he was stronger than Li Chengqian when it came to hands-on computing, but after recent events, he felt that he couldn¡¯t be so sure. ¡­ Meanwhile, in the provincial office, Chief Zhao entered the director¡¯s office at ten o¡¯clock. A full hour and a half had passed. In the office, after Chief Zhao had reported the 36 cases, the two of them sat and chatted. ¡°Well done, Chenggong! Capturing 39 suspects at one go. This would have a great impact on crime deterrence and also public security.¡± Director Guo praised. ¡°Chenggong, you said that it was the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software that helped you to solve 36 cases and prosecute 39 suspects in a day?¡± Chief Zhao¡¯s name was Zhao Chenggong. Director-General Guo and him were ex colleagues, and thus they were on first name basis. ¡°Yes, I got the Internet Security department to conduct a comprehensive test of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. This data restoration software is the most advanced in the world. It¡¯s even more advanced than the best data restoration softwares overseas,¡± Zhao Chenggong said with a smile. ¡°This software isn¡¯t expensive either. It costs 100,000 yuan a year.¡± ¡°Coincidentally, we have a backlog of 37 cases at Tianyi Bureau where key evidence is missing because we couldn¡¯t restore data from the hard disks.¡± ¡°The Internet Security department and the Criminal Investigation department used the Divine Dragon Data Restoration to solve these cases, even though we haven¡¯t even signed any contract.¡± ¡°All the data was restored that very night.¡± ¡°In one night, we solved 36 cases and arrested 39 people.¡± ¡°Because the software was especially powerful, I asked them to come over and sign the contract the following day, after we have done all the due diligence background checks.¡± ¡°Is it really that good? Or is it because you heard that there are plans to make a provincial-level purchase of a data restoration software, so¡­¡± Director Guo looked at Zhao Chenggong with a wry smile. ¡°Director Guo, don¡¯t you know me well enough?¡± Zhao Chenggong was well prepared. He took out the test report of the software and handed it to Director Guo. He then began to explain item by item. Director Guo understood Zhao Chenggong¡¯s personality. He was just joking earlier on. Although he didn¡¯t know anything about technology, he knew data comparison. The software test report included a comparison between the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software and the most advanced domestic and foreign softwares. After Director Guo heard the report, he kept his opinion to himself. Instead, he called Director He from the Information department over and handed the software test report to him. ¡°Go test the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software and verify the authenticity of the software test report. Report back to me immediately after the test is completed.¡± Director He hurriedly proceeded as instructed. As it was only a verification of the software test report, Director Zhang got it done very quickly. Half an hour later, he went to the Director¡¯s office again, with astonishment in his eyes. ¡°Director Guo, this is unbelievable. This software is amazing!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more advanced than the most advanced data restoration software overseas! The data recovery speed is ten times faster than the best software overseas. The integrity of corrupted data after restoration is more advanced than the best overseas. Its data recovery ability is superb.¡± ¡°If we can purchase the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, we can definitely retrieve a large amount of hard disk data that couldn¡¯t earlier be recovered. And we can do this within an extremely short period of time.¡± ¡°However, such advanced software might be very expensive. I estimate that the annual software usage fee for a county bureau would be at least 500,000 yuan. If the entire province adopts this software, it will cost more than 50 million yuan a year. We won¡¯t have enough funding¡­¡± Director He said with a sigh. Anybody would be keen to use such an advanced tool. It was efficient and effective! However, there would always be a catch. It was expensive! After hearing Director He¡¯s report and his lamentation, Director Guo nodded at Zhao Chenggong, and his smile became more relaxed. The contract to supply data restoration software to the entire province was a huge one. Many people were vying for it. Director Guo had been a little worried that Zhao Chenggong was pushing for the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to be chosen. He was relieved by the results of Director He¡¯s test. The atmosphere of the discussion instantly became more relaxed. ¡°Chenggong, tell Xiaohe how much it costs to buy this software for a year,¡± Director Guo said with a smile. ¡°Could it be that this software is not expensive¡­¡± Director He thought. ¡°Director He, our bureau¡¯s purchase price is 100,000 yuan a year! Two days ago, we used the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to crack 36 backlog cases. We used the software to recover all the hard disk data that other softwares couldn¡¯t recover,¡± Zhao Chenggong said under Director He¡¯s expectant gaze. ¡°Only 100,000 yuan? That¡¯s so cheap!¡± Director Zhang was very surprised. ¡°We¡¯ve been following up on the intensive testing of the Jingguo Data Restoration software during this period of time. It¡¯s only advanced by domestic standards and is behind Divine Dragon by 30 years, and it already costs 200,000 yuan per year!¡± ¡°The previous recommendation of the Information department was to purchase the Jingguo Data Restoration software! That¡¯s because it was by far the most advanced domestically developed software.¡± There were special considerations for public security systems. The first factor to consider was safety, as security breaches were a key concern. Technology advancement and functionality were only secondary considerations. After comparison, the Jingguo Data Restoration software was found to be much better than other domestically-produced softwares. As there weren¡¯t any other better options, they had to accept the high price. Now that they had the more advanced Divine Dragon Data Restoration software and the price was lower, as long as there weren¡¯t any safety concerns, the choice was obvious. ¡°Chief Zhao, there¡¯s one last question. We can only use domestic software due to data security issues. Is this software domestic?¡± Director He looked at Zhao Chenggong solemnly. If it wasn¡¯t a domestic software, it couldn¡¯t be used no matter how advanced it was. That is because no one knows if the software will steal data from the internal network when it was being used. ¡°The developer of this software is called Li Chengqian. He¡¯s 17 years old and a third-year student. His household registration is in Tianyi City. His parents¡¯ household registrations were also in Tianyi City. They¡¯re clean and have no criminal records!¡± Zhao Chenggong answered very solemnly. In fact, before signing the contract with Divine Dragon Software Company, he had arranged for someone to conduct background checks on Li Chengqian and his family members. ¡°What¡­ This software was developed by a high school student?¡± He Zhang¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Are all students so capable these days?¡± He didn¡¯t doubt Zhao Chenggong¡¯s words because there was no reason for Zhao Chenggong to lie to him. ¡°This Li Chengqian is really quite impressive. He scored full marks and got first place in the second provincial joint mock exam!¡± ¡°He also scored full marks in the school¡¯s internal selection test for a programming competition!¡± ¡°He is currently competing in the Youth Informatics Programming Competition¡­¡± Just as Zhao Chenggong was speaking, he suddenly received a message. He picked it up and took a look. It was a message about Li Chengqian. ¡°I just received news that Li Chengqian scored full marks again in the theory test of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!¡± ¡°This Li Chengqian is super talented and amazing! The Youth Informatics Programming Competition has been held for 15 years. He¡¯s the first student to score full marks in the theory test.¡± Director He no longer had any doubts after he heard this. The first reason was that everything Zhao Chenggong had mentioned could easily be verified. The first reason was that Director He also specialized in programming. Due to his work, he knew a lot about the Junior Informatics Programming Competition and knew the difficulty level of the theory test. Even a computer science professor might not be able to score full marks in the theory test. ¡°No wonder Li Chengqian could develop such an advanced data restoration software at such a young age.¡± With the results of the Youth Informatics Programming Competition as proof, there was no longer any more doubt. ¡°Xiaohe, go back and discuss it. Put up a proposal for my approval. Although I don¡¯t know anything about software, I know a good deal when I see one. This Divine Dragon Data Restoration software sounds like value for money. I¡¯ll choose this software for trial this year. Go get this done.¡± Director Guo instructed. ¡°Chenggong, let me be clear about this. If the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software works well, I¡¯ll credit you for it. If it doesn¡¯t, I will put this on you¡­¡± Director Guo took a sip of tea and said jokingly. ¡°Director Guo, you are simply giving me free credit,¡± Zhao Chenggong replied jokingly, his face full of confidence. ¡°Don¡¯t count your eggs too soon. We¡¯ll only know after we¡¯ve put it to the test.¡± Director Guo chided him jokingly. ¡°Chenggong, why does the name Li Chengqian sound so familiar?¡± Chapter 72 - 72 Game Over! 72 Game Over! Zhao Chenggong was not surprised that Director Guo found the name Li Chengqian familiar. Zhao Chenggong reminded him with a smile, ¡°Director Guo, it¡¯s Liu Wendao¡¯s case!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I recall it.¡± ¡°A few days ago, your bureau reported his righteous act. I even looked into it.¡± ¡°This Li Chengqian is brave and resourceful. He helped us crack Liu Wendao¡¯s murder case.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already signed the submission on Li Chengqian¡¯s act of heroism and have submitted it to the board of directors for review. The results will be out soon. I reckon the award will be delivered to your bureau soon.¡± Director Guo changed the topic. ¡°I thought Li Chengqian was just bold and righteous. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so good at programming.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is indeed a genius.¡± Director Guo exclaimed. ¡­ Meanwhile, He Jingguo sat anxiously on a sofa in the office of Cheng Dayong, the Deputy Director of the provincial office¡¯s Information department. He had been waiting at the Information department since early in the morning. A few days ago, he had already discussed in detail with the Information department and had in-principle understanding that as long as Director Guo approves, the provincial office would purchase the right to use the Jingguo Data Restoration software for a year. He came over today to conduct the software demonstration for Director Guo. As long as Director Guo approves, this deal would be completely sealed. However, the scheduled time for the presentation was 11 o¡¯clock. It was already half past eleven and there was still no news. He Jingguo sat on the sofa waiting anxiously. Cheng Dayong told him to wait here for updates, thus he didn¡¯t dare go anywhere. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Deputy Director Cheng back yet? Has something happened?¡± He Jingguo began to worry. Just then, Cheng Dayong walked in from outside. He Jingguo stood up immediately and rushed to Cheng Dayong. ¡°Director Cheng, how is it?¡± ¡°President He, don¡¯t be anxious. Director Guo has already summoned our Director just now. He should be updating Director Guo on the Jingguo Data Restoration software as we speak.¡± ¡°If Director Guo is satisfied, he may not necessarily need to hear from you.¡± Cheng Dayong assured him. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. This deal is basically yours! Your company¡¯s software is so advanced and useful? Nowadays, being advanced is the greatest advantage. Just wait.¡± Cheng Dayong sat down and looked at He Jingguo. ¡°Director Cheng, when do you think you¡¯ll get firm news?¡± He Jingguo¡¯s attitude was subservient and he was fawning over Director Cheng. When he was with Tian Wenming and the others, He Jingguo had always appeared very confident. He can¡¯t help feeling superior to everyone else. He didn¡¯t care about someone like Li Chengqian at all. He was a completely different person now. ¡°Director Cheng, Director He wants you to go to the meeting room immediately. He said that he has something important to discuss.¡± A staff of the Information department rushed over to the door to inform him. ¡°President He, wait a moment. I¡¯ll go find out what is going on.¡± Cheng Dayong said to He Jingguo and walked out. ¡°Could it be that they¡¯re discussing the purchase of the Jingguo Data Restoration software?¡± He Jingguo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Cheng Dayong had told him before, as long as Director Guo approves and the Information department submits the proposal, the deal would be done. ¡­ In the meeting room, all the deputy directors of the Information department and the directors of the bureau were seated. Director He sat at the head of the table. After seeing that everyone was present, he asked the bureau director to hand everyone a copy of the software test report that had been written by the Tianyi City Bureau. ¡°Everyone, sit down. Let¡¯s look at the test report of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software.¡± ¡°Because the boss has asked for this matter to be expedited, I¡¯ll make it short.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Data Restoration software has been tested. It¡¯s the most advanced data restoration software in the world.¡± ¡°A few days ago, Tianyi City used this software to crack 36 cases that they couldn¡¯t solve earlier. The software allowed them to restore data from hard disks that were previously unreadable. They did all this in one night and arrested 39 suspects.¡± ¡°Director Zhao of Tianyi City reported this matter and because of this, the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software has caught the attention of the bosses!¡± ¡°This software is not expensive. It only costs 100,000 yuan per year per county for software usage.¡± ¡°Chief Zhao wants us to submit a report to the provincial office as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Everyone, take a good look at the test report.¡± After Director He finished speaking, he waited patiently for the other deputy directors to finish reading. ¡°It¡¯s good value for money. I have no objections. I agree to purchase the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software!¡± Deputy Director Zhang was the first to express his opinion after reading it. ¡°This software is very advanced and the price is fine. I agree to purchase it too.¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°Director He, I agree too!¡± Cheng Dayong was the last to express his opinion. The report statistics of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software looked very good on paper. It was indeed very advanced and cheap, especially when it had been put to actual test in Tianyi City. He had no reason to disagree. ¡°Director Ma, draft a proposal based on our discussion immediately. I¡¯ll personally send it to Director Guo¡¯s office for him to review.¡± Director He nodded and gave his instructions. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it then. Meeting over.¡± After Director He made the arrangements, he was about to go back to the office to wait for Director Ma¡¯s proposal. At this moment, Cheng Dayong hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Director He, there¡¯s one more thing I want to ask you. He Jingguo, the person in charge of Jingguo Software, is still waiting in my office. He was supposed to conduct a demonstration for Director Guo. What should I do with him?¡± ¡°Ask him to leave. We haven¡¯t signed a contract with him yet. We have every right to choose another vendor. We are not breaching any contract,¡± Director He replied without thinking. ¡°Alright, I understand! I¡¯ll do it now.¡± Although Cheng Dayong didn¡¯t want to play the bad guy, Director He had already made up his mind, so he could only follow his instructions. Cheng Dayong went back to his office. ¡°How is it going, Director Cheng? What did Director He say? Does Director Guo still need me to conduct a demonstration on the software?¡± He Jingguo rushed in front of Cheng Dayong, his tone was both nervous and excited. ¡°President He, cool down. Sit down and listen to me.¡± Cheng Dayong¡¯s expression was complicated. After thinking about it again and again, he spoke. He Jingguo suddenly had a bad feeling. He panicked. ¡°Director Cheng, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°This is what happened. After testing, we discovered another world-leading domestic data restoration software. Just now, after our Information department¡¯s discussion, we¡¯ve decided to purchase the other software this time round.¡± ¡°President He, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to work together this time round. There will always be another opportunity.¡± Cheng Dayong¡¯s tone was filled with regret. ¡°What do you mean?¡± He Jingguo was stunned. He even thought that he was hallucinating! They had agreed that after the demonstration to Director Guo today, he would be confirmed as a vendor. He had already considered the 20 million yuan deal a done deal. Not only had he planned what he would do after he received the 20 million yuan, he had also taken out a loan in advance to buy the BMW¡­ And now they are suddenly saying they have chosen another software. How could they do this to him! He Jingguo couldn¡¯t accept this twist of fate. ¡°We have decided to purchase another software. That¡¯s why we¡¯re not buying your company¡¯s software this year,¡± Cheng Dayong said bluntly. He Jingguo¡¯s face fell. His originally rosy face instantly lost its color and turned extremely pale. ¡°Director Cheng, that¡¯s not what you said before. You said that it¡¯s basically a done deal.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already spent three million yuan on this project.¡± The car loan was 1.8 million yuan. The company registration, office rental, office supplies, staff remuneration and so on cost more than a million yuan. ¡°I can¡¯t afford to lose this project! I really can¡¯t afford it.¡± ¡°If I lose this project, I¡¯ll go bankrupt immediately. Not only will I have nothing, but I¡¯ll also owe a huge debt. Director Cheng, please help me think of a way.¡± He Jingguo almost went on his knees. His face was terrified, and his voice breaking. ¡°You haven¡¯t even signed the contract and you¡¯ve already spent so much money? What audacity!¡± Cheng Dayong looked at He Jingguo in shock. ¡°You said that as long as I make a presentation to Director Guo today and Director Guo agrees, I can sign the contract. That¡¯s why I thought this project is mine for sure. That¡¯s why I spent so much money. Please think of a way. I really can¡¯t afford to lose this project,¡± He Jingguo replied with a pale face and looked at Cheng Dayong pleadingly. ¡°I can¡¯t!¡± ¡°You said it yourself, we need Director Guo¡¯s approval! Now, Director Guo has already approved, but it¡¯s not your software! It¡¯s another company¡¯s! Do you understand?¡± ¡°President He, there¡¯s no point in saying anything anymore. You can leave now. I still have a meeting to go to. Please leave,¡± Cheng Dayong replied with a straight face. He hardened his heart and pointed at the door, gesturing to him to leave. When He Jingguo heard this, he lost all hope. His vision darkened and he almost fell to the ground. He looked as if he had lost his soul. His eyes were lifeless and he walked out of the provincial office like a zombie. The phone in He Jingguo¡¯s pocket kept ringing, but he ignored it and didn¡¯t bother to take it out. There were only two words in his head: Game over! Chapter 73 - 73 Phone Call 73 Phone Call At the Big Data Center Hotel, under Tian Wenming¡¯s lead, the few of them ate a simple meal and returned to their rooms to rest. Ding Ling had wanted to follow Li Chengqian to his room to chat, but Jian Qingli kept a close eye on her. After realizing that Ding Ling was planning to do so, she found an excuse to bring Ding Ling back to their room. Li Chengqian was not sleepy at all. He opened his personal interface and took a look at his Stamina Stats. He popped 10 medicinal wolfberries into his mouth. He opened the core program document of the Divine Dragon Operating System on his computer. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental coding!¡± He activated the three skills instantly. His arm that was in contact with the computer twitched uncontrollably. At the same time, codes appeared on the computer at an unbelievable speed. He had chewed and swallowed all the medicinal wolfberries in his mouth ten minutes later. Then he stopped, by then he was sweating profusely. With the medicinal wolfberries as assurance, he didn¡¯t have to worry about wearing himself out physically. However, when he was using the Mental Coding skill, his body goes into spasm and it hurts. If he used the Mental Coding skill for too long, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take the pain. [Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate 13.5%!] ¡°Phew phew¡­¡± Li Chengqian panted heavily. ¡°The Mental Coding skill is a good skill, but the side effects are too serious.¡± He used the Mental Coding skill twice, for a total of ten minutes, and entered 30,000 lines of code. It was equivalent to a top programmer¡¯s half year workload. ¡°I have to get this brainwave receiver done! And I have to get it done as soon as possible!¡± Li Chengqian resolved once again in his heart. Once the brainwave receiver was done, the side effects of using the Mental Coding skill would be gone. By then, he would be eating wolfberries and entering codes at the same time. He would be able to write 1.8 million lines of code if he worked for ten consecutive hours. He could produce an operating system core within a day! Ring, ring, ring¡­ Just then, Li Chengqian¡¯s phone rang. Li Chengqian picked it up and saw that it was Qin Datong calling, so he answered the call. ¡°Hello, Captain Qin.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, your matter is done. Under Chief Zhao¡¯s strong recommendation, Chief Guo has already decided to purchase the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. You¡¯ll soon become a multimillionaire!¡± Qin Datong¡¯s voice was filled with envy. Li Chengqian could earn 10 million yuan for this order alone. He wouldn¡¯t be able to earn this much money even if he worked his entire life. Li Chengqian immediately smiled and couldn¡¯t help but thank him. ¡°Thank you, Chief Qin, and thank you to Chief Zhao for his support.¡± ¡°After you sign the contract and return to Tianyi City, remember to treat me to a meal.¡± Qin Datong smiled and got down to business. ¡°The leaders of the provincial office saw the contract we signed with you and thought it was okay.¡± ¡°Get prepared. Come to the provincial office tomorrow to sign the contract with Director He. When you come, remember to bring the software authorization code, official seal, and business license,¡± Qin Datong instructed carefully. ¡°That¡¯s all it takes to sign the contract? So simple?¡± Li Chengqian was very surprised. Logically speaking, there should have been tests conducted on the software, many rounds of fee negotiations, and so on until both parties reached a point where everyone was almost satisfied before the contract signing. However, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have to go through any of these steps. ¡°Simple? Li Chengqian, it¡¯s actually not simple at all! Think about what I¡¯ve just said. You¡¯re so smart, you should be able to understand,¡± Qin Datong replied with a smile. On one hand, Li Chengqian¡¯s software was good. On the other hand, Chief Zhao had personally gone to the provincial office to recommend it. Without Chief Zhao¡¯s personal endorsement, it was impossible for Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to be adopted by the provincial office in a short time. ¡°Captain Qin, what about the Jingguo Data Restoration software? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to purchase this software?¡± Li Chengqian deliberately asked. Ever since he arrived at the Big Data Center, He Hongyun and his son had been bragging that their software had been adopted by the provincial office and were just waiting to sign the contract. ¡°We won¡¯t be purchasing their software this year, we¡¯re purchasing yours.¡± ¡°Alright, you still have a competition in the afternoon. I shan¡¯t take up any more of your time.¡± ¡°Although I know your standard, and I know for you to participate in this competition is like you coming to bully kindergarten kids I still have to say, go for it!¡± ¡°See you tomorrow,¡± Qin Datong said before hanging up. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Chief Zhao this time.¡± Li Chengqian hung up the phone and recalled his conversation with Qin Datong. He instantly understood the key. It was Chief Zhao¡¯s recommendation that gave him a chance to enter Director Guo¡¯s field of vision. Li Chengqian made a mental note of Chief Zhao¡¯s favor. He was super excited and flashed a huge smile like a teenager. ¡°I have 10 million yuan! I lived for decades in my previous life, and I didn¡¯t even manage to earn one million yuan.¡± After obtaining the personal interface of the Master of all Professions game, he knew that he would definitely not lack money in the future. In the future, he would be able to continue earning huge sums of money. However, when 10 million yuan was really within his reach, he couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. ¡°No, I can¡¯t be smug! There may still be changes until the contract is signed.¡± Li Chengqian thought of He Jingguo. He Jingguo had always felt that the provincial office would definitely purchase the Jingguo Data Restoration software, but there was a sudden turn of events at the eleventh hour. He didn¡¯t want to repeat the same mistake and become the next He Jingguo. ¡°Focus! Rationally thinking!¡± Li Chengqian used his skills in order to calm himself down. Then, he picked up a book on the anatomy of the brain and quickly flipped through it. He finished reading the book in less than five minutes. When he recovered from the absolute rationality state of his skill, his mood stabilized and his excitement was also contained. Then, he picked up the phone and called Chen Li. The documents and official seals needed to sign the contract were still at home, so his parents had to come over. ¡­ Meanwhile, at Li Chengqian¡¯s home, Huang Jingjing was also there, chatting with Chen Li. ¡°Chen Li, I saw that the two of you haven¡¯t gone out to work the past two days. Were you on leave?¡± Huang Jingjing asked curiously. Ever since she found out about Li Chengqian¡¯s results, she had been polite to Chen Li and her husband. She also didn¡¯t dare to mock them as easily as before. ¡°For some reasons, both of us have resigned,¡± Chen Li said in embarrassment. ¡°Oh no, your family still has a few thousand yuan of monthly mortgage to pay. If you don¡¯t work and fall back on the mortgage, the house will be repossessed!¡± Huang Jingjing exclaimed. ¡°Sigh, we¡¯re also looking for jobs, but it hasn¡¯t been easy to find jobs the past few years.¡± Chen Li sighed. After Li Chengqian left, she and Li Tianlan went to a few more job interviews, but to no avail. ¡°That¡¯s right. My husband¡¯s company has also been laying off employees recently. He¡¯s a mid-level manager. Although he won¡¯t be retrenched, I heard from him that his salary will be reduced by a lot. In the past, his annual salary was 1.2 million yuan. After this salary cut, his annual salary is only 800,000 yuan. I don¡¯t know how he¡¯ll live in the future.¡± Huang Jingjing sighed sadly, but a trace of smugness flashed in her eyes. ¡°Wow¡­ Your Old Jian¡¯s salary is actually so high. Working for a year is equivalent to ten years of hard work for Old Li and me.¡± When Chen Li heard this salary, she gasped, her eyes filled with shock and envy. This was the first time she had heard Huang Jingjing talk about salary. Huang Jingjing was usually decked out in jewelry and branded clothes, so she knew that Huang Jingjing was well to do, but she had never expected their income to be so high. Seeing the surprise and shock in Chen Li¡¯s eyes, Huang Jingjing was extremely smug. She pretended to be humble and said, ¡°Chen Li, actually, his salary isn¡¯t high. The top leaders of their company make five million yuan a year.¡± ¡°Ridiculous, too ridiculous. A year¡¯s salary is equivalent to my entire life¡¯s salary,¡± Chen Li said enviously. ¡°Sigh, my Old Jian, although we can earn a little money and our family has never lacked money, we¡¯re so busy all year round that we don¡¯t even have time to go home. We don¡¯t spend more than ten days at home a year. To be honest, I¡¯m quite envious of you. Your Old Li is with you all year round,¡± Huang Jingjing said again. She was in fact truly envious of Chen Li for having companionship. However, she was also really showing off that her husband made good money and that her family was wealthy. After saying that, she looked at Chen Li expectantly, waiting to see Chen Li¡¯s surprise and envy, and waiting to hear Chen Li¡¯s praise. At this moment, Chen Li¡¯s phone rang. When she saw that it was Li Chengqian, she hurriedly picked it up. ¡°Ah, why is Chengqian calling at this time?¡± Chapter 74 - 74 Envy 74 Envy ¡°Son, what¡¯s wrong? How was the competition?¡± After Chen Li picked up the phone, she began to ask about Li Chengqian¡¯s condition. ¡°Mom, everything is going smoothly. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Li Chengqian said. Because the phone Chen Li was using was an old phone, it was very loud. Although it wasn¡¯t on speaker mode, it was no different from being on speaker mode. Huang Jingjing, who was sitting by the side, heard everything clearly. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Chen Li smiled. ¡°Then why are you calling? Are you out of money?¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s not like that.¡± ¡°I called to ask you to bring our company¡¯s business license over to Tianbao City today.¡± I¡¯ve clinched another deal here. We have to sign the contract tomorrow.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was filled with joy. When Huang Jingjing heard this, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen hard. Although Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say much, there was a lot of information in his words. ¡°Li Chengqian actually registered a company.¡± ¡°I also received an order in Tianbao City. We need to sign the contract.¡± Huang Jingjing was instantly curious. What company was it? What order was it? ¡°Another deal? Good, that¡¯s great!¡± Chen Li¡¯s face was filled with joy. With these deals, there would be funds coming in. She wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the mortgage anymore. ¡°Son, where are you signing the contract? How much is it? Is it the same as last time, 100,000 yuan?¡± Chen Li began asking for details. Huang Jingjing was surprised and couldn¡¯t help but see Chen Li in a different light. ¡°What business is Chen Li¡¯s family doing silently? One contract is actually worth 100,000 yuan.¡± Li Chengqian said over the phone, ¡°We¡¯re signing a contract with the provincial police station. The contract this time is not 100,000 yuan. Mother, don¡¯t be too surprised. You have to be mentally prepared. The amount is a little big.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just heard from someone that their annual salary is 1.2 million yuan or 5 million yuan, so don¡¯t worry. How much is it?¡± Chen Li looked at Huang Jingjing with a smile. She felt that there was nothing more shocking than this. ¡°The contract amount is 10.8 million!¡± Li Chengqian said. ¡°How much?¡± Chen Li thought that she had heard wrongly. Her voice trembled as she spoke in disbelief. When Huang Jingjing heard this number, she suddenly stood up from the sofa and looked at Chen Li in shock. ¡°Mom, you didn¡¯t hear wrongly. It¡¯s 10.8 million yuan! Because we have to sign the contract with the provincial office early tomorrow morning, you and dad have to bring the necessary things over today.¡± ¡°Be careful on the road. I¡¯m going to the competition soon.¡± ¡°I gotta go now.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he hung up. Chen Li was exhilarated. Everything felt like a dream to her. Ten million was a number she didn¡¯t even dare to think about in the past. This news was too shocking for her. She needed time to digest it. While Chen Li was still holding her phone and digesting this piece of news, Huang Jingjing said gingerly, ¡°Chen Li, could your son have met a scammer?¡± Huang Jingjing couldn¡¯t accept that the ordinary-looking Chen Li had the ability to sign a 10 million yuan contract. Forget about Chen Li, even her husband, who drew a high salary of one million yuan a year, might not even be able to negotiate 100,000 yuan worth of business, let alone 10 million yuan. ¡°No, no. My son is signing a contract with the provincial police department.¡± Chen Li finally came back to her senses when she heard Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice. Her face was flushed and she was extremely excited. ¡°What kind of contract are you signing with the provincial police? Ten million yuan?¡± Huang Jingjing still didn¡¯t believe it and asked suspiciously. ¡°My son developed a data restoration software. It¡¯s very useful,¡± Chen Li said proudly. She could hear the disbelief in Huang Jingjing¡¯s tone, so she was prepared to explain. ¡°A few days ago, we signed a contract with the Tianyi City Bureau. The money has been transferred to our account. It¡¯s 100,000 yuan a year.¡± ¡°Perhaps the Tianyi City Bureau found it useful and informed the provincial office, so the provincial office wanted to buy the software too.¡± As Chen Li spoke, she took out the contract she had signed with the Tianyi City Bureau and handed it to Huang Jingjing. She flipped to the signature page to show Huang Jingjing the bright red official seal of the Tianyi City Bureau. ¡°It¡¯s actually true!¡± Huang Jingjing looked at Chen Li in shock. ¡°Chen Li, you¡¯ll soon become a multimillionaire.¡± Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice was filled with jealousy. After thinking of the value Li Chengqian had mentioned on the phone, her heart started beating wildly. She looked at Chen Li with envy and jealousy. At the same time, embarrassment appeared on her face. She had just bragged to Chen Li about her husband¡¯s high income. Within moments, she realized that Chen Li¡¯s family¡¯s income was actually higher than her husband¡¯s. Moreover, although her husband was a mid-level manager, he was only an employee. As for Chen Li, whom she had always despised, she had already become a boss. ¡°Chen Li, you¡¯re really lucky to have such a capable son. You don¡¯t have to worry for the rest of your life,¡± Huang Jingjing said enviously, her eyes filled with jealousy. ¡°That¡¯s true, my son is indeed quite capable.¡± Chen Li was beaming. ¡°Sister Huang, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t keep you company today. I have to pack my things and rush to Tianbao City. I can¡¯t hold up the contract signing.¡± ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± There was already reverence in Huang Jingjing¡¯s voice. ¡­ At this moment, Li Chengqian and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the Big Data Center under Tian Wenming¡¯s lead. He Hongyun had a worried look on his face as he stood at the entrance of the Big Data Center and waited. Ever since he returned home, his mother and him have been trying to contact He Jingguo to no avail. They have tried all means they could think of, but just couldn¡¯t contact him. Her mother had already gone to the provincial office to look for his father while he came to the competition. ¡°He Hongyun, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you so distracted?¡± Bi Jialiang asked softly when he saw He Hongyun¡¯s expression. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± He Hongyun replied curtly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you¡­¡± Bi Jialiang said unhappily. Tian Wenming frowned. He disliked He Hongyun¡¯s personality more and more. However, as He Hongyun was his old classmate¡¯s child, he really couldn¡¯t say much. ¡°Alright, quiet down. The hands-on programming test is about to begin. This test is team based. Everyone has to go in.¡± ¡°The hands-on programming test requires you to turn practical problems into mathematical problems.¡± ¡°And then use programming to solve the mathematical problem.¡± ¡°Programming ability is important, but so is mathematical ability.¡± ¡°You have to work together as a team!¡± ¡°Alright, quickly enter the competition hall.¡± Tian Wenming pointed into the competition hall. Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng were chatting and laughing as they walked into the hall. This was extremely irritating to He Hongyun¡¯s ears. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be smug. I¡¯ll definitely beat you in hands-on programming¡­ Just you wait!¡± He Hongyun said coldly and walked forward quickly. Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli quickly caught up. ¡°This fool! He¡¯s asking for it.¡± Zhao Peng looked at three of them from the back and laughed out loud. Chapter 75 - 75 Difficult Question 75 Difficult Question ¡°F*ck, what kind of a question is this?¡± Looking at the question on the big screen, Zhao Peng was dumbfounded. Ding Ling also frowned as she looked at the question on the big screen. If she was given enough time, she might be able to come up with a solution to the problem, but it was basically impossible to do so within such a short period of time. ¡°Actually, this question isn¡¯t too difficult¡­¡± Li Chengqian looked at the question. After thinking carefully for a while, he already had an idea in his head. The question was set out on the big screen. You are the software developer of a space station. It is currently known that the space station will orbit around the Earth at the same time. There are a total of eight rocket thrusters on the space station. Please develop a Positional Control program for the space station to ensure that it can orbit steadily in a geosynchronous orbit. (Requirement: The ground command center can adjust the space station¡¯s operating height based on situational requirements.) After this question appeared on the big screen, all the students participating in this competition looked at the big screen in confusion. ¡°This is sick! How can there be such a question? Does anyone know what the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is?¡± ¡°D*mn, they are just trying to fail us in this hands-on programming segment?¡± Someone almost cried. He could understand every word in this question, but he had no clue when it was converted into a mathematical model. Over at Bi Jialiang¡¯s team, He Hongyun looked at the question and fell into deep thought. This question was really tough. Jian Qingli looked at Bi Jialiang feebly. She realized that Bi Jialiang was also frowning tightly. He was holding a pen in his hand. The draft paper was still blank. Clearly, he had no clue about this problem. ¡°Is this question really something that high school students can do?¡± Jian Qingli looked at the question and fell into self-doubt. In Li Chengqian¡¯s team, Li Chengqian picked up a pen and wrote the gravitational formula on the paper. ¡°This problem is actually not as complicated as I thought. Let¡¯s assume that the space station¡¯s mass is M and the altitude from the ground is H. We can calculate the Earth¡¯s gravitational force on the satellite, set the velocity to V, and calculate it through the centripetal force calculation formula¡­¡± Li Chengqian wrote the steps of the analysis on paper. Five sentences and five formulas. He turned the question into a mathematical model. ¡°Captain, you¡¯re a genius! What brain food did you grow up on?¡± Zhao Peng looked at the formulas and analysis on the paper. He had both shock and admiration on his face. Ding Ling frowned and looked at it again and again. She realized that she still couldn¡¯t understand what Li Chengqian had written. She looked at Zhao Peng suspiciously and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Zhao Peng, you understand the derivation process?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Zhao Peng replied matter-of-factly. ¡°Can an ordinary person like me understand such a complicated thing? You overestimate me.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, why are you acting so shocked?¡± Ding Ling was almost dumbfounded by Zhao Peng¡¯s response. If one didn¡¯t know better, they would definitely think that Zhao Peng had understood. ¡°The captain is so awesome. Isn¡¯t it something worth marveling at?¡± Zhao Peng looked at Ding Ling with a puzzled gaze. ¡°¡­¡± Ding Ling shook her head speechlessly and stopped paying any attention to Zhao Peng. She looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s analysis on the paper carefully and focused on thinking. Li Chengqian¡¯s hands were on the keyboard. He didn¡¯t even need to think and directly typed lines of code into the computer. ¡°Because the transmission speed of the Star Earth network is very slow, the Positional Control program has to be light.¡± Even hard disks have to be specially tailor made for the space station. Its capacity was extremely small but its price was astronomical. A special hard disk of 500 gigabytes cost 800,000 yuan! ¡°A program running on the space station must have high performance.¡± The same principles applied to CPUs that could function in space. Stability came first. The performance was not high, but the price was terrifyingly high. ¡°It¡¯s a critical program because it¡¯s a Positional Control program that controls the space station. There is no room for errors. After the software receives the signal from the outside world, it has to start operating immediately. The response speed of the program has to reach the millisecond level.¡± ¡°For the safety of the space station, the range of the space station¡¯s altitude from the ground is¡­¡± If it was too low to the ground, it might crash. If it was too high, it would leave Earth¡¯s gravity and fly into outer space. This was a relatively complicated project, and there were many things to consider. These questions were divided into small functional modules by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers danced on the keyboard at the speed of 15 lines of code per minute. Crackling sounds rang out densely, filling the entire space. After an hour and a half, Li Chengqian¡¯s hands finally stopped. [Real-time space station altitude and speed adjustment subsystem 100% complete. Software grade D-. [Space station altitude and speed safety subsystem 100% complete. Software grade D-.] This module would allow the space station to adjust its altitude while flying steadily in the air. [Real-time space station flight mode adjustment subsystem 100% complete. Software level D-.] This module could adjust the mode of the space station. It could fly horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or even roll. This software could accurately adjust the direction of the space station. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t do this to kill time. He did this because the space shuttle needed to dock at the space station, so the space station flight mode adjustment software was really essential. [Space station operating system completion rate 23%.] ¡°Done!¡± Li Chengqian smiled when he saw the system notification. He thought to himself, ¡°Compared to developing the Divine Dragon Operating System core, it¡¯s not that hard to develop the space station operating system.¡± ¡°If you give me the specific hardware parameters of the space station, it won¡¯t take me much effort to develop the operating system of the space station.¡± ¡°However, the feeling of manually inputting the codes cannot be compared to the feeling of using the Mental Coding skill.¡± He was used to the input speed of 3,000 lines of code per minute. He was really not used to the old speed of 15 lines of code per minute. This was 200 times the difference in efficiency. ¡°I must get the brainwave receiver done!¡± Li Chengqian resolved again. Meanwhile, Ding Ling was dumbfounded. She had both shock and admiration in her eyes. This was the first time she had seen Li Chengqian type. Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers were like phantoms. At the same time, the words that appeared on the computer were so fast that she almost couldn¡¯t read them. ¡°How can Li Chengqian¡¯s typing speed be so fast! It¡¯s amazing! Unbelievable!¡± Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian with admiration and shock in her eyes. Zhao Peng had long been used to Li Chengqian¡¯s typing speed. Seeing Li Chengqian stop, he excitedly rushed to Li Chengqian¡¯s side. ¡°Captain, is it already done?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s done! I need to test it now.¡± Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian used the programming software to test and confirmed that the program was running smoothly without any bugs. Li Chengqian tried to input the relevant parameters such as the height of the space station, the power of the rocket engine, the amount of fuel, the weight of the space station, and so on to simulate the operation. On the simulation interface, data such as the time needed to adjust the height, the amount of fuel required, and the operating speed of the adjusted space station were displayed. If it was really operating on the space station, it could also show the real-time speed, real-time altitude, and other relevant data of the space station. After seeing that there were no problems with the test, Li Chengqian uploaded the mathematical deduction process formula, as well as the software code. This completed his submission. ¡°This time, it should also be full marks!¡± The program he had written only needed simple improvements to be used on the real space station, and it was especially useful. As long as it was someone who understood the industry, they would definitely give him full marks. Chapter 76 - 76 Space Station Operating System 76 Space Station Operating System Backstage in the big data center, many hired expert judges were chatting. Everyone was basically focused on one thing. Li Chengqian scored full marks in the theory exam. ¡°Do you guys think Li Chengqian will also be the first to hand in his paper for this hands-on programming test?¡± Shi Chengsan, who had just graded Li Chengqian¡¯s theory test in the morning, joked. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Li Chengqian¡¯s theoretical foundation is especially good, and his programming ability is excellent. However, this question on this space station is very difficult. He has to translate the meaning of the questions into mathematical models before he can program.¡± a judge guessed. His point was very clear. He believed that Li Chengqian was strong in both theory and programming ability. However, no matter how good he was in programming, there was a prerequisite. That was, the problem had to be converted into a mathematical model first. ¡°Ding-dong. You have received a new test paper for review¡­¡± At this moment, a notification sounded from the computer in front of Shi Chengsan. ¡°Quick take a look and see who has handed in the paper. Let¡¯s see if it¡¯s Li Chengqian.¡± Someone jeered. Then, many people came over and stood behind Shi Chengsan. Shi Chengsan opened the marking system and glanced at the name of the person who handed in the paper. Li Chengqian¡¯s name was reflected in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s indeed Li Chengqian!¡± Someone said in surprise. In the marking system, the exam was divided into two parts: 30 marks for mathematical modeling and 70 marks for programming. ¡°Old Shi, take a look at his mathematical modeling first.¡± In the midst of everyone¡¯s commotion, Li Chengqian¡¯s simple mathematical deduction process was displayed in front of everyone. ¡°Wow¡­ Impressive!¡± ¡°He modeled the problem with just five formulas. Li Chengqian¡¯s team not only has a programming expert like Li Chengqian, but also a mathematics expert.¡± ¡°Impressive¡­ I saw that the standard answer was three A4 pages long. Li Chengqian¡¯s team¡¯s submission didn¡¯t even take half a page, and yet they managed to clearly explain all the issues.¡± To be honest, if they hadn¡¯t seen the model answer in advance, they might not have understood Li Chengqian¡¯s submission. ¡°Full marks, full marks for mathematical modeling!¡± Shi Chengsan filled in 30 marks on the scoreboard and proceeded to submit it. Then, he opened the Positional Control program written by Li Chengqian. After downloading the codes, the neat codes were displayed in front of everyone. Whether it was indentation or annotation, it was like a textbook. As the test progressed, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with utter shock. Li Chengqian¡¯s software had completely exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. To make an inappropriate analogy, it was like Li Chengqian proving that 1+1 = 2, when the question only asked what 1+1 was. He went beyond answering a primary school level question to doing what a mathematician did. This was not the standard of a high school student at all. This was in fact the standard of a computing PhD supervisor, or even higher. ¡°There are 1,350 lines of code, and the file size is 65Kb!¡± ¡°The software has a core module and five functional modules.¡± ¡°The software has an operation core that provides a virtual hardware system. As long as the drivers of the relevant equipment are integrated into the software, this software can operate directly on the space station.¡± ¡°Five functional modules, Flight Mode Control, Automatic Flight Altitude and Speed Control, Automatic Flight Safety Control, and a real-time display system that shows speed, altitude, fuel level, and other relevant information in real time.¡± ¡°All the modules are functioning well, there are no bugs found!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just a software!¡± ¡°This is an advanced space station operating system that just needs finetuning!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s hands-on programming, full marks!¡± In the end, Shi Chengsan filled in 70 marks on the evaluation column without hesitation. ¡°I propose that the organizing committee of the competition inform the National Space Science Center about the Space Station Positional Control program that Li Chengqian developed.¡± With some slight modifications, this could be used as an operating system for space shuttles and satellites. ¡°I propose that we immediately embargo Li Chengqian¡¯s software and source code. This source code is very advanced and critical. It must not be leaked. The organizing committee of the competition should immediately report this matter to the National Administration of State Secrets Protection, and have them handle this matter.¡± In the past, the space station¡¯s operating system was specially customized, and the research and development cost was tens of millions. Once Li Chengqian¡¯s source code was leaked, all it took was a simple modification for it to be usable as a general operating system of a space station. This was an important technological breakthrough! ¡°I¡¯ll report it to the relevant authorities immediately.¡± When Chen Lili, the person-in-charge of Jinshan Province, heard her subordinate¡¯s report, she became very solemn and quickly rushed to the National Administration of State Secrets Protection to report the matter. ¡­ In the square of the Big Data Center, Li Chengqian and the others were informed by the competition staff that they were not allowed to leave the competition hall. As such, they had no choice but to wait in the square. Li Chengqian began to explain to Ding Ling and Zhao Peng his thought process behind the solution, as well as the usage of the five formulas he had written. ¡°¡­this is the specific meaning of the five formulas. Actually, it¡¯s not as difficult as you think.¡± Li Chengqian explained the effects of the five formulas to the two of them in detail. Zhao Peng listened with a perplexed expression. She didn¡¯t understand at all. Ding Ling seemed to be deep in thought. She took the five formulas written by Li Chengqian and started thinking again. ¡°Captain, why do you think they are not allowing us to leave the Big Data Center?¡± Zhao Peng glanced at the main door. The door was tightly locked. Two security guards guarded the door, not letting anyone in or out. Zhao Peng had already walked around and realized that all the entrances and exits of the big data center were guarded. No one was allowed to enter or leave. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Li Chengqian was also at a loss. ¡°Ding, ding, ding¡­ The hands-on programming test for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition has ended. Please leave your seats and leave the competition hall.¡± At this moment, the announcement for the end of the test sounded. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. This time, they have no reason to stop us.¡± After hearing the announcement, Zhao Peng immediately jumped and ran for the door. At this moment, He Hongyun, Bi Jialiang, and Jian Qingli walked to the square. He Hongyun had a smug expression on his face. Although the test question was very difficult, he still managed to solve it in the end. The mathematical model was to work out the change in the altitude of the space station. The speed of the space station had to change in order to change centripetal force, so as to achieve a balance between the centripetal force and the earth¡¯s gravitational force, which would in turn result in a stable flight of the space station. After completing the mathematical model, he worked with Bi Jialiang to write the core Control code. Besides this, they also wrote a data display program that could show the altitude and speed of the space station. ¡°Bi Jialiang has decent hands-on programming skills. If he majors in programming in university, he can be recruited to be a programmer in my father¡¯s company after graduation.¡± He Hongyun had never taken Bi Jialiang seriously in the past. What happened just now had changed his mind. He felt that Bi Jialiang was a talent that could be used. ¡°In this hands-on programming test, our team would score at least 90 marks!¡± He Hongyun had absolute confidence. Then, he saw Li Chengqian and the others standing in the square. The smile on his face became even more smug. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s academic results are very good. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem to transform the question into a mathematical model.¡± He Hongyun was not a fool. Although he was especially unhappy with Li Chengqian, he still had sound basic judgment. ¡°I heard from Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli that Li Chengqian does not have any hands-on experience. He was only learning how to type a few days ago, and his typing speed was especially slow.¡± ¡°During the competition, I have Bi Jialiang to help me. Only Jian Qingli was a burden.¡± ¡°As for Li Chengqian¡¯s team, Zhao Peng and Ding Ling were both burdens. They couldn¡¯t help him at all.¡± ¡°It would be considered good if Li Chengqian could compute the speed of the core and the speed conversion portion of the program. There was on chance he could do the rest.¡± ¡°Therefore, I will definitely beat Li Chengqian in this hands-on programming test.¡± He Hongyun couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he thought of this. Chapter 77 - 77 Free and Easy 77 Free and Easy After the test ended, the tightly guarded door was opened. Tian Wenming was already waiting on the road outside. He waved when he saw He Hongyun, Li Chengqian, and the others walk out of the Big Data Center. ¡°He Hongyun, how did you do?¡± Tian Wenming asked. ¡°Teacher, the question this time is especially difficult! The question is like this¡­¡± After deliberately glancing at Li Chengqian, He Hongyun spoke loudly and told Tian Wenming the question for the hands-on programming segment. Tian Wenming frowned when he heard this, this question was indeed difficult. ¡°This is what I thought¡­¡± He Hongyun explained his solution and mathematical modeling. His voice was loud and his tone was smug. ¡°Not bad, not bad! That¡¯s indeed feasible. The most important part of this question is the balance between gravity and centripetal force.¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes lit up as he praised him. ¡°Bi Jialiang and I wrote 200 lines of code. Apart from the core Balance module, and the Altitude and Speed module, we also wrote a data display panel that can show the real-time altitude and speed of the space station.¡± He Hongyun became even more smug after hearing Tian Wenming¡¯s praise. ¡°Not bad, not bad! Your team will definitely do well in the hands-on programming segment. As long as there are no major issues with the code, you will probably score at least 90 marks.¡± Tian Wenming praised again. Zhao Peng had been listening attentively to He Hongyun. He almost burst out laughing when he heard that He Hongyun¡¯s team had only completed 200 lines of code and developed two of the simplest functions, and yet they were so conceited. ¡°To think that you have the cheek to challenge Awesome Li with this level of skill. You¡¯re simply overestimating yourself.¡± He smiled to himself. After asking about He Hongyun¡¯s team, Tian Wenming turned to look at Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, how did your team do?¡± Instantly, He Hongyun and the other two¡¯s gazes focused on Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian said calmly, ¡°My solution is basically similar to He Hongyun¡¯s.¡± ¡°We have basically completed the programming, we should do quite well.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t elaborate in detail like He Hongyun. If he went on, he might be seen as being boastful. After He Hongyun heard Li Chengqian¡¯s response, he became even more smug. He thought to himself, ¡°Everyone¡¯s approach toward solving the question is the same, but the content of the programming is different.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s program definitely cannot be as comprehensive as mine.¡± He Hongyun was extremely certain. In He Hongyun¡¯s opinion, if Li Chengqian did develop a comprehensive program, he would have talked about it in detail. When he gave such a sketchy description of his program, it could only mean that what he did was inferior to others! ¡°Yes, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re confident!¡± Tian Wenming nodded and didn¡¯t probe further. Tian Wenming looked at everyone and continued, ¡°The results of the hands-on programming segment will be announced tomorrow morning. The rankings and results of the competition for the Jinshan Province will be announced at the same time.¡± ¡°Those ranked in the top 20 of the provincial competition will qualify for the national finals.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll stay here for another day. We¡¯ll return to Tianyi City after the results are out tomorrow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for us to come out. Is there anywhere you want to go? I¡¯ll take this opportunity to bring you guys out,¡± Tian Wenming suggested. ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t we go free and easy?¡± Zhao Peng raised his hand. It wouldn¡¯t be fun to be with his teacher. He wouldn¡¯t feel at ease no matter what they did. ¡°Teacher, I still have something on, so I won¡¯t be joining you guys. I¡¯m going home.¡± He Hongyun had always felt that he didn¡¯t belong with Tian Wenming and the rest. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t hang out with them. Moreover, He Hongyun had been a little worried as he hadn¡¯t been able to contact He Jingguo since noon. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll see you tomorrow morning! As I¡¯ve said before, I¡¯ll definitely beat you!¡± He Hongyun flashed a victorious smile. After saying this to Li Chengqian, he left in a taxi. After He Hongyun left, Ding Ling indicated that it was inconvenient for them to hang out together. Ding Ling was in a new place and all she wanted was to be with Li Chengqian. She was intoxicated by the euphoria of being in love. Bi Jialiang had his own plans as well. He was looking forward to going shopping with someone he liked in a new place. After glancing at Jian Qingli, he made it clear that he wasn¡¯t keen on participating in group activities. Tian Wenming had to give up on the idea of going out as a group. ¡°It¡¯s alright if you prefer to go free and easy, but please stay safe.¡± Tian Wenming instructed worriedly. He deliberately glanced at Ding Ling and Jian Qingli before saying, ¡°Also, you must return to the hotel before 8 p.m. I¡¯ll go to your rooms to spot check.¡± ¡°Finally, I want to remind you that the university entrance examination is coming soon. Don¡¯t do anything out of line. You can do whatever you want after the exam, no one will stop you.¡± Although Tian Wenming wasn¡¯t explicit, everyone knew what he meant. Ding Ling blushed again because of this sentence. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it! Go ahead.¡± With that, Tian Wenming left. ¡°Captain, I also have something on, so I won¡¯t be going with you guys.¡± Zhao Peng winked at Li Chengqian. Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, he left with a knowing smile. ¡°Jian Qingli, where shall we go?¡± Bi Jialiang looked at Jian Qingli expectantly, his heart beating hard. He had been looking forward to being alone with Jian Qingli since the previous Friday. He had waited for three days before he got this chance. ¡°Bi Jialiang, I want to go shopping with Ding Ling. You¡¯re a boy, so it¡¯s inconvenient for you to be with us.¡± Jian Qingli frowned. Although she didn¡¯t say it directly, her meaning was clear. She was rejecting Bi Jialiang¡¯s suggestion. Bi Jialiang¡¯s face fell, he was crestfallen. He had been looking forward to this for so long. He had always imagined that Jian Qingli would go shopping with him and they would spend time alone. ¡°Jian Qingli, Li Chengqian and I are going to pick up his parents. They¡¯ve also come to Tianbao City, so I can¡¯t go shopping with you.¡± Ding Ling said coldly. She also wanted to be alone with Li Chengqian. After hearing what Ding Ling said, Bi Jialiang¡¯s gloomy eyes lit up. His voice was filled with joy as he followed up on what Ding Ling said. ¡°Jian Qingli, since Ding Ling has something on, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°Uncle Li and Aunt Chen have also come to Tianbao City? That¡¯s great. I¡¯ll go with you to pick them up.¡± How could Jian Qingli give Ding Ling and Li Chengqian a chance to be alone? If Ding Ling and Li Chengqian really did that, she wouldn¡¯t stand a chance anymore. Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes turned and she replied with a smile. Bi Jialiang¡¯s face darkened because of Jian Qingli¡¯s words. He was heartbroken. ¡°Bi Jialiang, Li Chengqian and I are neighbors. His mother has always been very kind to me. Since his mother is here, I should go and pick her up.¡± Looking at Bi Jialiang¡¯s gloomy eyes, Jian Qingli felt that she had to explain herself to avoid embarrassing Bi Jialiang too much. Li Chengqian frowned. He also wanted to be alone with Ding Ling for a while. There was no way he would let Jian Qingli tag along. ¡°Jian Qingli, my parents came here to settle some matters. It¡¯s not very convenient for you to tag along. You don¡¯t have to go,¡± Li Chengqian said bluntly. Then, without waiting for Jian Qingli to speak, he flagged down a taxi with Ding Ling and set off for the high-speed rail station. His parents should be arriving soon. Jian Qingli was visibly upset. She stomped her feet in anger and scowled. She thought to herself, ¡°I was planning on consoling you tomorrow when He Hongyun mocks you after he is announced as the winner. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so overboard.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just stand by and watch tomorrow!¡± ¡°When the time comes, let¡¯s see if you can still be so arrogant.¡± Jian Qingli gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡°Jian Qingli, where do you think we should go?¡± Bi Jialiang probed. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well. I¡¯m going back to rest. You can go shopping by yourself.¡± Jian Qingli was in an extremely bad mood and didn¡¯t bother to be nice with Bi Jialiang anymore. Chapter 78 - 78 Spoilsport 78 Spoilsport ¡°Genius, this is really a genius design!¡± Over at the Academy of Space Technology, Lin Xiong, who was in charge of the software design, was extremely impressed when he saw the Space Station Positional Control software developed by Li Chengqian. ¡°This is definitely the first modular, universal operating system designed for space stations and space shuttles.¡± Lin Xiong was truly impressed that virtualization of the hardware could be achieved with a mere file size of 64K. As long as the hardware¡¯s driver was added, it could operate in the sky. This was an unprecedented initiative. ¡°With this as a foundation, going forward, we only need to develop corresponding functional modules for any new functions on the space shuttle!¡± At this moment, Lin Xiong¡¯s doctoral student, Zhang Ting, had also completed the reliability and performance tests of the software. ¡°Instructor, the test is completed!¡± Zhang Ting said solemnly. ¡°The software can control the altitude of the space station to a centimeter!¡± ¡°It can control the space station¡¯s mode and position at any time. The precision of the operation is also to a centimeter.¡± ¡°In terms of positional control, this software is very similar to the software we are currently using!¡± ¡°After computation, we found that the time needed to adjust the flight mode and flight altitude might be about 3% more efficient than the software we are currently using.¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t find any bugs in the software. There shouldn¡¯t be any issues with its reliability.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that this was developed by a student during a two-hour competition. Li Chengqian is really a genius.¡± Zhang Ting reported the software test results. There was envy and a trace of bitterness in his voice. Compared to Li Chengqian, his hard work all these years was simply in vain! ¡°Zhang Ting, go and tell the admissions office to recruit Li Chengqian to the University of Science! I want to be his mentor and personally tutor him in his doctorate studies. We must nurture such a genius student well. We mustn¡¯t let him be poached by other countries or that will be a huge loss to our country.¡± Lin Xiong immediately gave instructions after hearing this. The University of Science was a university under the Academy of Sciences. It was the only university comparable to the Divine Dragon University. Moreover, most of the academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering were at this university. ¡°Also, send a reply to the Jinshan Province State Secrets Protection Bureau. This space station operating system is classified as top secret. It must not be leaked.¡± ¡­ At night, after arranging Chen Li and Li Tianlan¡¯s hotel, Li Chengqian and Ding Ling quietly returned to their room in the hotel. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re really something. You can actually sign a contract with the provincial office and earn 10 million yuan a year.¡± Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian with admiration. After picking up Chen Li and Li Tianlan, Li Chengqian carefully explained the details of the contract in Ding Ling¡¯s presence. Therefore, Ding Ling knew about Li Chengqian¡¯s contract with the provincial office to sell them software rights. ¡°Ding Ling, this is between us. Help me keep it a secret.¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t being humble. He had a smile on his face and looked straight at Ding Ling with passion in his eyes. Ding Ling was flustered, excited, and nervous to have Li Chengqian looking so intently at her. Her heart was pounding wildly, and her face instantly turned red. Her palms were covered in sweat. There were many things that one would naturally understand when they reached a certain age. She was not a fool and naturally understood what Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze represented. She also knew what Li Chengqian wanted. ¡°Ding Ling, don¡¯t go back tonight. Just sleep in my room.¡± Li Chengqian was actually very nervous. His voice was trembling, and he could hear his heart beating hard. When Ding Ling heard this, even her ears turned red. She was extremely nervous and didn¡¯t dare to look at Li Chengqian. She didn¡¯t respond to what Li Chengqian said either. Silence was in fact a response. Li Chengqian¡¯s heart was pounding. He gingerly approached Ding Ling and slowly reached out to hug her. Knock, knock, knock¡­ At this moment, there was a violent knock on the door. Ding Ling jumped like a startled rabbit. Li Chengqian was also startled. He stood up and cursed in his heart, ¡°What a spoilsport!¡± Li Chengqian was furious at being interrupted. He went to the door and roared, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, it¡¯s me. Are you guys back?¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s voice came from the door. ¡°Teacher, we just came back.¡± Li Chengqian reluctantly opened the door. Besides Tian Wenming, Zhao Peng, Jian Qingli, and Bi Jialiang were all there. Especially Zhao Peng. He looked at Li Chengqian with a mischievous smile and kept looking into the room. Bi Jialiang looked at Li Chengqian enviously. He also wanted a chance to be alone with Jian Qingli, but she didn¡¯t give him a chance at all. After Li Chengqian opened the door, Jian Qingli entered Li Chengqian¡¯s room directly without a word. When she saw Ding Ling standing in the room neatly dressed, she suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re all back, I¡¯m relieved. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest.¡± Tian Wenming looked at Li Chengqian expressionlessly and said loudly. To be honest, he was only worried about Li Chengqian! From the beginning, when Li Chengqian asked to be alone, he already suspected that he was up to something. Therefore, he had been paying attention to Li Chengqian, afraid that Li Chengqian and Ding Ling would do something in these two days. Therefore, when he heard the sound of the door of Li Chengqian¡¯s room opening and closing, he immediately came over. What he didn¡¯t expect was that after the others heard the sound, they also followed as nosy parkers. Ding Ling got so shy, she glared at Li Chengqian before lowering her head and rushing out of his room as if she was fleeing. ¡°It¡¯s normal to have your first awakening of love at this age. I understand, but¡­¡± ¡°Kid, behave yourself and don¡¯t cause trouble. After your college entrance examination, you can play however you want. I definitely won¡¯t interfere.¡± Tian Wenming warned Li Chengqian seriously before returning to his room. ¡°What a waste of such a good opportunity.¡± Looking at the empty corridor, Li Chengqian¡¯s heart was filled with regret. ¡°After the college entrance examination, I must take Ding Ling on a trip alone to enjoy some couple time.¡± Li Chengqian felt like he was on fire and couldn¡¯t fall asleep at all. He picked up the computer and opened the core program document of the Divine Dragon Operating System. He grabbed 10 medicinal wolfberries and popped them in his mouth, then he placed his hands on the computer. If Li Chengqian wanted to calm down, his method was very simple. He just had to input fervently. If he couldn¡¯t take it out on someone, then he would have to take it out on a computer! ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental Coding!¡± The three skills were used at the same time. Instantly, the yearning that filled his brain disappeared and he became rational. Lines of code appeared in his mind, occupying all the space. His body began to convulse. As he convulsed, the words on the computer screen scrolled crazily. It was impossible to see the words clearly. Chapter 79 - 79 Gathering 79 Gathering At 10 o¡¯clock the following morning, Tian Wenming brought Li Chengqian and the others to the entrance of the Big Data Center. A countdown timer was displayed on the big screen of the Big Data Center. In the square at the entrance, many students were carrying suitcases. They gathered in groups of twos and threes, waiting to see the results of the competition. There was 1 minute and 27 seconds before the provincial rankings were announced¡­ He Hongyun was also standing behind Tian Wenming. He had wanted to look for He Jingguo because He Jingguo had yet to return home and was still uncontactable. But he was very concerned about the bet between him and Li Chengqian. Therefore, he also came over. The countdown ticked by. Soon, a ranking list replaced the countdown timer on the big screen. Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, information on the top ten teams for the Jinshan Province Junior Informatics Programming Competition was finally displayed on the big screen. First place: Tianyi High School, Li Chengqian¡¯s team. Theory 100 marks. Hands-on programming 100 marks. Grand total 100 marks (Total score = theory score*0.4+ hands-on programming*0.6). Instructor: Tian Wenming. Second place: Tianbao First High School. Du Siyu¡¯s team. Theory 90 marks. Hands-on programming 94 marks. Grand total 92.4 marks. Instructor: Zeng Kaixin. ¡­ Fifth place: Tianyi High School. Bi Jialiang¡¯s team. Theory 73 marks. Hands-on programming 90 marks. Grand total 83.2 marks. Instructor: Tian Wenming. ¡°Captain, we¡¯re number one in the province!¡± Zhao Peng shouted excitedly when he saw the results. Although Ding Ling had already expected this ranking, she was still so excited that her face turned red the moment the results were out. ¡°How is this possible! Li Chengqian actually got full marks in hands-on programming again!¡± He Hongyun¡¯s eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He was stunned. He Hongyun was looking forward to beating Li Chengqian in the hands-on programming segment. After seeing the results displayed on the big screen, he only felt a burning sensation on his face. After Jian Qingli saw Li Chengqian¡¯s team¡¯s score and ranking, she was filled with immense regret. She still remembered that before the competition began, Li Chengqian had invited her twice, but she had rejected him both times. At that time, she said that Li Chengqian was a joke. Now, it seemed that the joke was actually on her. Although she had gotten fifth place in the province on account of He Hongyun and Bi Jialiang¡¯s efforts, she felt like crying when she saw that Li Chengqian came in first in the province. ¡°How is this possible? This is impossible.¡± Bi Jialiang looked as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn¡¯t accept that Li Chengqian had scored full marks in the hands-on programming segment. Bi Jialiang had seen with his own eyes how Li Chengqian was learning typing in the school library. His typing speed was like a snail, he was especially slow. ¡°Good, that¡¯s great!¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s serious expression finally changed, and excitement finally showed on his face. He looked at Li Chengqian with extreme surprise. Only his name appeared twice on the big screen. This was definitely the proudest moment in his life. ¡°Li Chengqian, kid, you¡¯re really amazing. Even I have misjudged you!¡± Tian Wenming praised Li Chengqian with a face full of admiration. He gave him a thumbs up and piled effusive praise on him. At the same time, he took out his phone and took a photo of the big screen, then he posted it on his WeChat moments immediately! ¡°He Hongyun, you guys are not bad either! You¡¯re ranked fifth in the province.¡± Tian Wenming looked at He Hongyun and his team, and praised them. At this moment, Zhao Peng stepped in front of He Hongyun. ¡°He Hongyun, didn¡¯t you say that you would definitely beat Li Chengqian in the hands-on programming segment? You¡¯re really good, you scored 90 marks. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian scored 100 marks, so you still didn¡¯t win.¡± Ever since the results came out, He Hongyun had been worried that Li Chengqian would quote what he had said when he entered the competition hall. When He Hongyun heard what Zhao Peng said, the arrogance on his face disappeared. He was mortified and distraught by Zhao Peng¡¯s taunt. It is unkind to rub salt on one¡¯s wound.. Zhao Peng was simply rubbing his nose in it. This made He Hongyun feel extremely embarrassed. ¡°So what if he won!¡± He Hongyun replied indignantly. ¡°What are you guys so smug about? So what if his programming skills are good? When he graduates, he¡¯ll still be working for other companies.¡± ¡°Although I didn¡¯t win in hands-on programming, you can never beat me in life.¡± He Hongyun regained his confidence immediately when he thought of the 20 million yuan contract with the provincial office. He was his old arrogant self again. ¡°My family earns at least 20 million yuan a year. As for you, 200,000 yuan a year after graduation will be considered high income. Based on 200,000 yuan per annum, you¡¯ll need to work for 100 years to earn the money my family earns in a year.¡± ¡°This competition is a major event in your lives. If you do well, you can enroll in Divine Dragon University. You might be able to earn a high annual income of 200,000 yuan in the future.¡± ¡°As for me, it¡¯s just an interest. Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter how many marks I score or what place I get because I don¡¯t lack money or work.¡± ¡°So, what is there to be so smug about?¡± He Hongyun pointed at Zhao Peng and became even more arrogant. ¡°You study hard and think that you¡¯ve groomed yourself very well. In the end, it¡¯s just to find a job.¡± ¡°So, why are you so smug in front of me?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s face contorted in anger. ¡°You what? Zhao Peng, do you know why I don¡¯t like to work with you? I¡¯ll be upfront here and say something to you honestly, it¡¯s because I¡¯ve never been on the same level as you guys.¡± He Hongyun sneered. He no longer held back and spoke his mind freely. In fact, he had wanted to say this for a long time. Because of his family, he had felt superior since he was young. He felt that he was smarter than others. A few days ago, He Jingguo told him that he was going to clinch a 20 million yuan contract soon. His superior sense of self was immediately further inflated. ¡°He Hongyun, don¡¯t be too arrogant! No matter how rich your family is, it was earned by your elders, not you. What are you so smug about?¡± Zhao Peng was furious. Even Tian Wenming was extremely surprised by He Hongyun¡¯s words. Although he had felt that there was something wrong with He Hongyun¡¯s worldview, he really didn¡¯t expect He Hongyun to say such words. ¡°He Jingguo didn¡¯t teach his son well. He¡¯s too arrogant. He¡¯s bound to get into trouble sooner or later.¡± He thought to himself. ¡°Hahaha¡­ I know, you are envious of me, jealous of me¡­¡± He Hongyun laughed proudly. While He Hongyun was laughing, a taxi pulled up by the roadside. Chen Li and Li Tianlan were extremely excited and got out of the car with smiles on their faces. They were holding the contract that they had just signed. ¡°Honey, all of this is like a dream.¡± Li Tianlan sighed. ¡°This is what they mean by your early life depends on your parents and your latter life depends on your child. When a child is successful, the parents will naturally benefit from it.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Our son is over there. Let¡¯s go over quickly and show him the contract. Share the joy with him.¡± Chen Li looked around and saw Li Chengqian standing at the entrance. She quickly walked over. Behind Chen Li, another taxi pulled up. He Jingguo, whose face was ashen, got out of the car and followed Chen Li and Li Tianlan. Chapter 80 - 80 Isnt It Interesting? 80 Isn¡¯t It Interesting? ¡°Chengqian, your mother and I are back. The matter is settled.¡± Li Tianlan quickly walked toward Li Chengqian. He spoke loudly when he was two meters away from Li Chengqian. Then, he waved the contract in his hand at Li Chengqian. He was especially excited, and he was smiling widely. At this moment, something happened. Li Tianlan tripped and fell forward. He lost his grip on the contract in his hand and it flew out. The pages of the contract were scattered all over, and landed in front of Tian Wenming and the others. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t bothered about the contract at all. He took a step forward and pulled Li Tianlan back in the nick of time. He steadied him and asked, ¡°Dad, are you alright?¡± Chen Li also hurriedly ran over. ¡°Old Li, did you hurt yourself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. I accidentally tripped over a gap on the floor,¡± Li Tianlan said in mild embarrassment. ¡°Chengqian, go get the contract back first. The contract is important.¡± Just as Li Chengqian rushed out to hold Li Tianlan, Tian Wenming, Zhao Peng, and Jian Qingli bent down and picked up the pages of the contract that were scattered on the ground. ¡°Eh, the Jinshan Province Police Department Data Restoration software purchase agreement.¡± The words on the cover caught Zhao Peng¡¯s attention. After picking up the two contracts in front of him, he opened them out of curiosity. Then, he saw the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s name. He looked further down and saw the contract amount of 10.8 million yuan. Zhao Peng gasped! He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian with an extremely shocked look. The Divine Dragon Software Company belonged to Li Chengqian! He was very clear about this. Divine Dragon Software Company sold Tianyi City Bureau a license to use the software. But he really didn¡¯t expect that Li Chengqian could actually sell the software to the provincial office. After recovering from his shock, Zhao Peng glanced at He Hongyun, who was still acting high and mighty with a smug expression. ¡°Wait, the provincial office has already signed a procurement contract with Divine Dragon Software Company, will they still purchase He Hongyun¡¯s Data Restoration software?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°This bastard. I thought that the provincial office was really going to purchase his software. I thought that 20 million yuan was already in his family¡¯s pockets. It turns out that¡­ everything was just his imagination!¡± Zhao Peng glanced at He Hongyun with a sneer on his lips, as if he had seen a joke. Jian Qingli also picked up a page of the contract. When she saw the name of the contract, the amount, and the person who signed it, she felt that something was wrong. She took a subtle glance at He Hongyun and thought to herself, ¡°Isn¡¯t Dr. He¡¯s company called Jingguo Software Company? Why is it a contract signed between Divine Dragon Software Company and the provincial police department?¡± Then, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and carefully flipped through the contract. When she flipped to the signature page of the contract, her eyes immediately widened. Even her breathing stopped, and extreme disbelief flashed in her eyes. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company is actually Li Chengqian¡¯s!¡± On the signature page, the judicial person for Divine Dragon Software Company was Li Chengqian while his father, Li Tianlan was the authorized signatory. If it was just Li Chengqian, there was still a possibility of someone else coincidentally having the same name. However, the signatory was Li Tianlan, and Li Tianlan was the one who brought the contract here. That proved beyond any doubt that Divine Dragon Software Company was Li Chengqian¡¯s company. ¡°Li Chengqian, he actually founded a company and even signed a contract worth tens of millions. How did he do it? When did he start doing these things?¡± Jian Qingli suddenly felt immense regret. If she had known that Li Chengqian was so capable, she wouldn¡¯t have gotten close to Bi Jialiang, and she would all the more not have given Li Chengqian the cold shoulder. Tian Wenming picked up the contracts and wanted to hand them to Li Chengqian. The words on the cover of the contract attracted his attention. ¡°This is strange, isn¡¯t He Jingguo¡¯s company called Jingguo Software Company? Why is the signing party on the contract Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± Although Tian Wenming was filled with doubts, his self-restraint was way better than Zhao Peng¡¯s. Instead of flipping through the contract, he held the contract in his hand and waited for Li Chengqian to come over. ¡°The contract was brought over by Li Chengqian¡¯s father. Could it be that Li Chengqian¡¯s father works in He Jingguo¡¯s company?¡± Tian Wenming thought further. He Hongyun crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking high and mighty. He was about to leave, but after hearing Li Tianlan¡¯s exclamation, he stopped and watched the commotion. ¡°Captain, this contract is for the provincial Data Restoration software purchase?¡± Zhao Peng had already seen the bright red official seal on the signature page, but he still asked in disbelief. Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. My parents just signed it when they went to the provincial office this morning.¡± He Hongyun was about to leave when he heard this. He stopped with a sense of incredulity. Then, he frowned and turned to look at Li Chengqian. What did the provincial office¡¯s Data Restoration software purchase contract have to do with Li Chengqian? ¡°Li Chengqian, your parents went to the provincial office to sign the provincial Data Restoration software purchase contract? Why don¡¯t I understand?¡± He Hongyun asked coldly. ¡°He Hongyun, look at what this is!¡± Zhao Peng was antagonized by He Hongyun just now and he couldn¡¯t wait for an opportunity to retaliate. After hearing He Hongyun¡¯s unpleasant tone and obtaining Li Chengqian¡¯s approval, he opened the contract and placed it in front of He Hongyun. ¡°Jinshan Province Police Department Data Restoration Software Purchase Agreement. Vendor: Divine Dragon Software Company. Contract amount: 10.8 million yuan.¡± Zhao Peng made He Hongyun read the contents of the first page clearly. He took the contract, flipped to the signature page, and handed it to He Hongyun again. ¡°He Hongyun, look, the official seal of the provincial office is bright red!¡± Zhao Peng pointed at the bright red official seal, his voice filled with vindication. ¡°Most importantly, this Divine Dragon Software Company is a company registered by Li Chengqian, not your family¡¯s company.¡± ¡°Your family¡¯s annual income of 20 million yuan is gone! Your money is gone. You have suddenly come down to the same level as us.¡± Zhao Peng deliberately emphasized the word ¡®level¡¯. Earlier on, He Hongyun said that he was not on the same level as them, and Zhao Peng bore a grudge. ¡°The way things turned out, isn¡¯t it interesting?¡± When Zhao Peng said this, he felt vindicated. ¡°How is this possible! This is impossible!¡± He Hongyun had been panicking since he saw the contract. When he saw the bright red official seal, he was stunned. His face instantly lost its color and he turned extremely pale. The light in his eyes went out. When he heard Zhao Peng say ¡®isn¡¯t it interesting¡¯, he seemed to have lost all his strength and he took two steps back. His eyes were filled with fear as he said hoarsely, ¡°This is impossible! This is fake, it¡¯s fake!¡± He could not accept this outcome! Tian Wenming¡¯s serious expression collapsed when he heard this news. He looked at Li Chengqian in extreme shock. Li Chengqian had surprised him too many times on this trip to Tianbao City. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian with a burning gaze. ¡°It¡¯s indeed like this. Divine Dragon Software Company is indeed Li Chengqian¡¯s. He¡¯s actually a anonymous millionaire.¡± After Bi Jialiang heard Zhao Peng¡¯s words, he was also stunned. Just as everyone was in shock, He Jingguo rushed forward and snatched the contract from Tian Wenming. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Li Chengqian said in a cold voice. Chapter 81 - 81 Pitiful 81 Pitiful After He Jingguo got hold of the contract, he flipped to the signature page, which was the last page. When he realized that it had been signed and stamped, his face fell. ¡°It¡¯s already signed. It¡¯s actually signed. There¡¯s no chance anymore.¡± He felt that there was still some hope if the contract hadn¡¯t been signed. Now that the contract had been signed, his last hope was dashed. Looking at Li Chengqian walking over quickly, He Jingguo acted as if he didn¡¯t see him. He quickly flipped through the contract to the price page. When he saw the amount of 10.8 million yuan on the contract, he immediately ¡°understood¡± and gritted his teeth. ¡°I see! I lost because of the price.¡± ¡°The people from the provincial office are short-sighted and only considered the price of the software. Purchasing this unheard-of Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is simply a waste of the taxpayer¡¯s money. This is negligence!¡± He Jingguo muttered to himself bitterly. ¡°Dr. He, please give the contract back to me.¡± Li Chengqian came in front of He Jingguo and extended his hand. ¡°He Jingguo, what were you doing just now? Quickly give the contract back to Li Chengqian.¡± At this moment, Tian Wenming finally reacted. He was displeased as He Jingguo¡¯s actions just now were as good as robbery! ¡°Li Chengqian, right? You¡¯ve snatched the 20 million that should have been mine, you¡¯re really something aren¡¯t you!¡± When He Jingguo saw Li Chengqian, his eyes were red, and his voice was filled with resentment, as if he had seen his nemesis. If not for Li Chengqian, the 20 million yuan from the provincial office would already be his. It was Li Chengqian who snatched his 20 million yuan. It was also because of Li Chengqian that he was now burdened with a huge loan that he couldn¡¯t repay. And the villa that was planned would now forever stay a plan. Li Chengqian caused all these. Li Chengqian looked at He Jingguo calmly, his hand outstretched in front of He Jingguo. ¡°He Jingguo, give the contract back to Li Chengqian!¡± Tian Wenming couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He walked to He Jingguo¡¯s side and tried to pull the contract out of his hands. ¡°Li Chengqian, fine, well done!¡± He Jingguo¡¯s voice was filled with extreme resentment. He ignored everyone after letting go of the contract. He waved at the crestfallen He Hongyun and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Son, let¡¯s go home.¡± He Hongyun lowered his head and walked over dejectedly. There was no longer any arrogance or sense of superiority. The two of them were two figures of defeat and despondence. ¡°They look quite pitiful now,¡± Jian Qingli sighed. ¡°He Hongyun is as pitiful now as he was arrogant before. He asked for it!¡± Zhao Peng added. ¡°Teacher Tian, He Hongyun has left. What are we going to do for the rest of the competition?¡± Bi Jialiang watched as He Hongyun walked away despondently. He felt extremely conflicted, and then this shocking thought came to his mind. The top 20 teams in the provincial competition were qualified to participate in the semi-finals. When Jian Qingli heard this, she became nervous. Although He Hongyun¡¯s character was not good, his standards were not bad. If He Hongyun withdrew from the competition, it would affect their team very badly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. In the past, I was worried that He Hongyun wouldn¡¯t focus on the competition. Now, I¡¯m not worried about this anymore.¡± In the past, He Hongyun had 20 million as his reason for being indifferent and arrogant, this reason didn¡¯t exist anymore. He Hongyun had nothing now! Tian Wenming felt that He Hongyun would work even harder. As He Hongyun had said, ordinary people had to make themselves outstanding before they were qualified to compete for a job worth 200,000 yuan a year. ¡°Give them some time to calm down. I¡¯ll call He Hongyun in two days.¡± Tian Wenming gathered everyone at the Big Data Center after he finished speaking. After the results were announced, there were still matters to handle, such as obtaining the certificates, filling in the forms for the semi-finals, and so on. ¡­ After entering the Big Data Center, before he reached the certification collection area, Li Chengqian was led by Chen Lili, the person-in-charge of the competition committee, to an office in the Big Data Center. At the office, Wang Dalin, director of the Jinshan Province State Secrets Protection Bureau, introduced himself briefly before handing a document to Li Chengqian. All this while, Li Chengqian was still trying to figure out what was going on. Li Chengqian flipped through the document and realized that it was a notification that the space station operating system that he had developed in the competition had been classified as top-secret information. There was also a software copyright certificate for the space station operating system. ¡°Li Chengqian, the space station operating system you developed has been determined by Professor Lin Xiong of the Academy of Space Technology to be an important software. It is of high international standing and represents a scientific and technological innovation that is of great importance to the country¡¯s economy and defense. In accordance with the provisions of article 8, paragraph 1 of the Scientific and Technological Confidentiality Regulations, the space station operating system is classified as top secret.¡± ¡°According to the provisions of the Confidentiality Regulations, except where there is express written consent from the State Secrets Bureau or a relevant government authority, it is forbidden to upload the source code of the space station operating system on the Internet, or to disclose the source code in any other manner,¡± Wang Dalin said solemnly. Li Chengqian was a little stunned because this was the first time he had heard of this rule. ¡°Of course, the country won¡¯t let you suffer losses in vain. First of all, the country will give a one-time reward of one million yuan, this is for any scientific and technological innovation that has been classified as top secret.¡± ¡°Secondly, it is only the source code that has been classified under confidentiality management. As long as you don¡¯t leak the source code, it¡¯s fine.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s confused expression, Wang Dalin continued to explain, ¡°Just like Dongjiu, the formula is a national secret, but the wine brewed using this formula is not.¡± ¡°Oh, I get it now!¡± Li Chengqian had a look of sudden comprehension. This was the same as the Windows system. The source code of Windows was top secret. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to obtain it. However, the Windows system was not a secret because no one could obtain its source code by reverse-engineering. The logic was the same as the space station operating system he had developed. ¡°However, there are restrictions. If you rely on the Li Chengqian space station operating system to develop software, you have to apply for approval from our Bureau. You can only commercialize it after the experts review that there¡¯s no risk of the source code being leaked.¡± Wang Dalin was worried that Li Chengqian would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained. ¡°I understand! Director Wang, don¡¯t worry. Unless the country needs it, the source code will definitely not be leaked. If the country needs it, you can use this source code at will.¡± Li Chengqian nodded and replied solemnly. In fact, besides the country, no private individual or company could use a foundation software like the space station operating system. This was because even a powerful country would need to spend a lot of effort to build a high-tech thing like a space station. Maintaining a space station also required an astronomical amount of funding. Small countries could not afford it at all, and they didn¡¯t have the ability to build it in the first place. There were currently only two space stations flying in the sky. Therefore, although the source code of the space station was very advanced, Li Chengqian had no platform to use it even if he wanted to commercialize it. He had already benefited greatly from the country¡¯s reward of one million yuan. ¡°Director Wang, actually, I¡¯ve also developed a few softwares. The functions are not bad. Why don¡¯t you take a look and see if you want to classify it as confidentiality?¡± Suddenly, Li Chengqian thought of the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. He got tempted and so he just mentioned it. ¡°Alright, prepare the software function description. I¡¯ll get the relevant experts to review them.¡± Wang Dalin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and agreed. Chapter 82 - 82 Forming a Company 82 Forming a Company ¡°Tell me about the software¡¯s functions first. I¡¯ll make a preliminary judgment on whether it needs to be included in confidentiality management,¡± Wang Dalin said. ¡°Director Wang, one of them is a Data Restoration software. The Jinshan provincial police department has already signed a one-year agreement for this software. The fee is 10.8 million yuan a year¡­¡± Li Chengqian said honestly. He wasn¡¯t showing off, but he felt that there was no need to keep any secrets from Wang Dalin¡¯s bureau. He might as well be upfront about it, and perhaps they would see him in a better light. ¡°Kid, you are really something. This Data Restoration software doesn¡¯t need to be classified.¡± Wang Dalin nodded and replied Li Chengqian. ¡°There¡¯s another one. It¡¯s the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡­¡± Li Chengqian explained the relevant functions of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°You just said that the Divine Dragon Optimization App you developed replaced the Android virtual machine? The operating efficiency is increased by 20%, the memory occupancy is reduced by 50%, and the power consumption is reduced by 50%! A phone that was released five years ago can also be used smoothly like a newly released phone?¡± Wang Dalin looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already used an old phone to test it. Before installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the benchmark score was 240,000. After installing it, the benchmark score was more than 600,000.¡± Li Chengqian nodded and told him the test results at that time. ¡°Impressive! You¡¯re really capable!¡± Wang Dalin gave him a thumbs up. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App you mentioned is very impressive, but there¡¯s no need for it to be classified either.¡± ¡°Director Wang, there¡¯s one more. I¡¯m developing an operating system core. This operating system core should be more advanced than all the operating system cores on the market. It¡¯s just that the development hasn¡¯t been completed yet¡­¡± Li Chengqian continued to speak and elaborate on the last project that was being developed. ¡°You¡¯re also developing an operating system core?¡± Wang Dalin became more and more surprised. He now looked at Li Chengqian with both admiration and shock. Not only had Li Chengqian developed a space station operating system, a Data Restoration software, and the Divine Dragon Optimization App, but he had also developed an operating system core. And Li Chengqian was only a seventeen-year-old! No matter what the operating system core developed by Li Chengqian was like, one thing was sure. Li Chengqian was really a genius in software development! ¡°Yes, it¡¯s under development and hasn¡¯t been completed yet.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°The operating system core is not a state secret either.¡± Wang Dalin gave his answer. Li Chengqian was not surprised to hear Wang Dalin¡¯s response! Then, he gave Wang Dalin an embarrassed smile. ¡°Director Wang, may I ask how the copyright certificate for the space station operating system is being processed? I would like to apply for a copyright certificate for the other softwares I developed.¡± The Divine Dragon Optimization App had already been developed for some time. As there had been no time to register the copyright and the patent, Li Chengqian had never released it. Wang Dalin glanced at Li Chengqian. ¡°Write down the overviews and details of these softwares and send them to me. I¡¯ll help you do it, but just this time!¡± For a genius like Li Chengqian, Wang Dalin was happy to help so that he may score some brownie points with him. In the future, if Li Chengqian really became wealthy, this small favor might be of great use. ¡°Thank you, Director Wang! I¡¯ll remember this favor.¡± Li Chengqian immediately beamed with joy and accepted his offer without hesitation. In fact, from the start, this was what he had in mind when he asked Director Wang whether the other softwares needed to be classified. ¡°If ever there¡¯s anything I need from you, I really won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you,¡± Director Wang said jokingly before standing up. ¡°I still have something on, so I¡¯ll leave first. After you¡¯ve drafted the relevant materials, just send them to me. I¡¯ll handle them for you. I should be able to give you an update in about a week. My phone number is 138¡­¡± Director Wang left quickly after he gave Li Chengqian his phone number. ¡­ ¡°Son, the people from the provincial office have asked us to arrange a product training. They want a mass training session for everyone to learn how to use the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software!¡± When Li Chengqian stepped into his house in Tianyi City, he had barely sat down when Li Tianlan started talking to him about serious matters. ¡°What do you think we should do about this?¡± ¡°Also, many people have called me today to ask about the usage of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software¡­¡± Li Tianlan said tiredly. He and Chen Li had returned to Tianyi City first. Their phones didn¡¯t stop ringing on their journey back. They found it interesting in the beginning. However, after answering the same question repeatedly, fatigue set in. ¡°Build up the Divine Dragon Software Company and recruit people!¡± Li Chengqian answered without thinking. ¡°Dad, you and Mom help me deal with it for a few days first. I¡¯ll immediately hire professionals to come to the company.¡± To be honest, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t expect to get the provincial office¡¯s order. Li Chengqian¡¯s original plan was to start small, and after he obtained the patent for Divine Dragon Optimization App, he would equip the company with all the personnel and resources before launching with a bang. However the situation is fluid and now they had to gather all the personnel immediately. Moreover, with the provincial office¡¯s 10.8 million yuan, Li Chengqian¡¯s confidence was immediately boosted. In addition, with Wang Dalin¡¯s help, the patent for the Divine Dragon Optimization App would be issued very quickly. By that time, he would need a lot of manpower. After chatting with Li Tianlan and Chen Li for a while, Li Chengqian returned to his room. After sorting out the relevant information about the three softwares, he sent it to Wang Dalin. ¡°In my previous life, I failed the university entrance examination. My parents got into a car accident because of me having to retake the exam, and following that I¡¯ll be poor and homeless. I¡¯ll be down and out for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°Now, all of this has completely changed! I can score full marks for the university entrance examination! I¡¯ve already gotten first place at the provincial Junior Informatics Programming Competition! A software I casually developed brought in more than 10 million yuan.¡± The 10.8 million yuan from the provincial office was money that Li Chengqian had never earned in his previous life. All the money Li Chengqian had earned in his previous life was not even a tenth of the amount of this contract. ¡°My parents wouldn¡¯t have met with the accident if I hadn¡¯t repeated my studies!¡± ¡°Things have changed!¡± ¡°And in the future, because of my rebirth, there will be an even greater change.¡± The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a confident smile. If it was in his previous life, Li Chengqian might have chosen to stop and enjoy life after the 10.8 million yuan from the provincial office was received. But the current Li Chengqian was not satisfied with this 10 million yuan. He had an even greater ambition in his heart. The Master of all Professions game was set against a sci-fi background. The professions that Li Chengqian had taken on so far were worker, farmer, student, and software engineer. They were all early-stage professions in the Game. Compared to the mid- and late-stage professions, the current professions were very weak. ¡°I still need to work hard! Continue to work hard!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll earn money and build the company¡¯s framework. Now that I¡¯m working on software development, I can support the entire company alone. I don¡¯t need to spend much money, but the next step in hardware development will definitely cost a lot of money. I need funds.¡± The brainwave receiver was the focus of Li Chengqian¡¯s next development. After the brainwave receiver was developed, his efficiency in developing software would be higher. In order to prevent himself from suddenly dying from exhaustion, Li Chengqian grabbed a handful of medicinal wolfberries and popped them in his mouth. He opened the core engineering document of the Divine Dragon operating system and used three skills at the same time. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental coding!¡± His mind became extremely clear. Logic took over his brain. Lines of code jumped straight out of his consciousness. His body twitched subtly with the aching sensation in his body. Countless characters were jumping on the computer screen. Chapter 83 - 83 Certainly Popular 83 Certainly Popular A week later, on the 8th floor of Tianyi Fortune Square, a 1,000 square meter office area was rented by Li Chengqian. As it was a small city, the annual rental was not high, only 500,000 yuan. The huge space was divided into workstations. At this moment, there were already a few decent looking girls at the workstations providing user support with their sweet voices, answering calls and troubleshooting for users of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. Li Chengqian¡¯s office was not big. It was about 30 square meters and was partitioned. ¡°Boss, there are currently 13 staff in customer service, 5 staff in software engineering, 2 staff in human resources, and none in the chairman¡¯s office.¡± ¡°Although the current human resources can already meet the company¡¯s needs, because Divine Dragon Software is a software company, I suggest forming a legal department to take charge of the company¡¯s contract drafting, patent application, litigation, and other related matters.¡± In front of Li Chengqian was a woman with a voluptuous figure. Her figure was extremely good, and her eyes were foxy. She was wearing a body hugging office dress which showed off her curvy buttocks. Her lips were luscious and extremely inviting. This woman¡¯s name was Zhao Na, and she was the human resources director that Li Chengqian had recruited. This woman was physically attractive, and she was swift and decisive. She had established the general structure of Shenlong Software Company within 3 days. ¡°Not bad!¡± Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction. Ever since Zhao Na took office, she had managed the company in an orderly manner. Li Chengqian immediately became relaxed. ¡°Director Zhao, during this period of time, we are focused on user training and after sales support for the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software.¡± ¡°Secondly, we have completed copyright registration for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Contact the various app stores to put the app up for sale.¡± Wang Dalin was very efficient. He successfully registered the copyright and obtained the certificate on the third day. Over the past few days, Li Chengqian had used the quantum algorithm to encrypt the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Today, the encryption of the software had just been completed and could be used online. ¡°Alright! Boss, I¡¯ll do it now. I¡¯ll settle the matter for you today.¡± Zhao Na¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. As she had already tried the Divine Dragon Optimization App, she naturally knew how powerful it was. This app was like a nuclear bomb to the current mobile phone market. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was available for one month of free trial, thereafter, the annual fee was 18 yuan. It might not look like much, but once it was launched and promoted, and the number of users increased, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would pull in more income than the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. It was possible to earn ten times more! ¡°No wonder so many people want to be a boss.¡± Li Chengqian watched Zhao Na walk out and said with a satisfied sigh, ¡°Such a beautiful person, although she only helps with work and doesn¡¯t do anything else, she makes yummy eye candy.¡± As the saying goes, if there¡¯s something, the secretary will do it. If there¡¯s nothing¡­ ¡­ Shu Renfei was a fourth-year undergraduate. His family¡¯s financial situation was not good. He had bought a cell phone when he first entered university and was still using it. The phone was especially laggy now. He had been working part-time recently and wanted to get a new phone. When he opened QQ on his phone just now, a series of messages coming in caused his phone to be jammed. Shu Renfei skillfully restarted his phone. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the app store to find a smaller desktop software. This desktop software is too heavy and laggy.¡± At this moment, he saw the Divine Dragon Optimization App that had just been put up in the app store. ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App! A software that completely solves the phone lag problem.¡± After reading the introduction, he was immediately interested. He downloaded the Divine Dragon Optimization App to his phone to give it a try. ¡°It can¡¯t be a virus, right? It can actually blackout the screen!¡± He became anxious after seeing the prompt that popped up after the software installation was completed. ¡°I¡¯ll just make it a Hail Mary effort!¡± Shu Renfei bit the bullet and clicked ¡®confirm¡¯. After a while, the phone restarted. The imposing golden dragon logo appeared on the phone screen, and the word ¡®Android¡¯ was replaced by ¡®Divine Dragon Optimization¡¯. Shu Renfei looked at this scene in shock. ¡°F*ck, how could my phone enter the unlock interface so quickly?¡± In the blink of an eye, the first screen disappeared and the phone entered the unlock interface. When he restarted his phone just now, it took him at least a minute to go from the first screen to the locked screen interface! ¡°This software is not bad!¡± After Shu Renfei entered the password, he smoothly entered the desktop from the lock screen interface. There was no lag in between. ¡°How is this possible!¡± When he went from the locked screen to the desktop earlier, the spinning wheel on the screen had gone on for quite a while. This was also the reason why he wanted to change to a smaller desktop software. After entering the desktop, Shu Renfei swiped the phone interface. It was extremely smooth, not at all like what he had imagined. He was still not convinced and opened QQ on his phone. He also entered the QQ software on his phone very smoothly. 99+ messages came from the class group chat, but there was still no lag on his phone. Then, he experimented with other software. All the software could run smoothly. ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App, what kind of holy software is this? It¡¯s awesome!¡± Shu Renfei¡¯s face was filled with admiration. ¡°It¡¯s like a new phone. How did this software do it!¡± ¡°No, I have to share such a good thing with everyone.¡± Shu Renfei sent the name of the Divine Dragon Optimization App directly to all the QQ groups. ¡°I just downloaded this software and it has reinvigorated my phone.¡± ¡°I feel that after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, my phone is even smoother than when I first bought it.¡± ¡°Students whose phones are laggy can give it a try.¡± ¡°In addition, may I ask the professionals how the Divine Dragon Optimization App did this? Why did the phone become so smooth after it was installed?¡± Shu Renfei was well known for being a pragmatic person in class. Therefore, after seeing Shu Renfei¡¯s message on the Divine Dragon Optimization App, others also downloaded it to try it out. Before long, the QQ group was full of praise. ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App, Greatest Of All Time!¡± ¡°Too impressive, awesome, really out of this world. I can now actually play League of Legends on the phone I bought two years ago. This Divine Dragon Optimization App is amazingly heavenly!¡± ¡°Amazing, amazing. I was going to buy a new phone. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, I feel that the phone is even more useful than a new one. It¡¯s really amazing!¡± ¡°Is it really that powerful? You guys are exaggerating. I¡¯ll give it a try too.¡± After many students saw this, they installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App app on their phones skeptically. Then, they were instantly convinced by the app. ¡°Shu Renfei, I¡¯ve received the app, thank you! I¡¯ve found the material for this season¡¯s technology livestream!¡± Zhang Tiezhu, Shu Renfei¡¯s classmate, was doing a test live broadcast. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, he had a feeling that this app would definitely become popular. Because this app was simply awesome! Chapter 84 - 84 Review on Livestream 84 Review on Livestream Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream was called Tiezhu Technology livestream. He had a huge following, a total of 30,000 people. About 10,000 people watch each of his livestream. Zhang Tiezhu was very pragmatic in every livestream. The products recommended by him were good, affordable, and relatively new. He had a huge following among the students. ¡°My dear supporters, I¡¯m Tiezhu, your favorite technology blogger.¡± ¡°My idea is to experience the latest electronic software and hardware at the cheapest price.¡± ¡°Today, I am going to review a mobile phone app for everyone. I have personally tested it and I can tell you, it is amazing!¡± The moment Zhang Tiezhu started the livestream, a large number of people started watching. After hearing Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s words, a large number of comments immediately appeared in the comments section. ¡°The stingiest blogger. Other bloggers give money and gifts, but you don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Stop bragging. The products you recommended aren¡¯t cheap either, alright? Although I can play League of Legends on the value-for-money phone you recommended, the price is actually 1,199 yuan. You are corrupted already.¡± ¡°The show where you DIY your own VR headset was not bad. Host, how about you show us how to DIY phones this time?¡± ¡°Tiezhu, you¡¯ve changed. You never used the word ¡®amazing¡¯ before. You must have been bought.¡± Zhang Tiezhu didn¡¯t care about the comments section at all. Instead, he took out his cell phone that was used for the livestream today. Zhang Tiezhu picked up the phone and placed it in front of the camera so that everyone could see the model of the phone clearly. ¡°This phone was made four years ago. It¡¯s an entry-level phone. It¡¯s a Rao Long 625 processor, has 4GB of memory, and 64GB of hard disk. At that time, the price was 849 yuan. Its score on AnTuTu was 78,000 points.¡± ¡°At the moment, this phone is running on an extremely streamlined operating system. It can just about manage to make calls and send messages.¡± Zhang Tiezhu swiped the screen and one could clearly feel the phone¡¯s lag. ¡°If you use it to chat on QQ or WeChat, the lag will be very obvious.¡± ¡°Sometimes the phone even hangs.¡± He operated the phone as he introduced its parameters. After opening QQ on the phone, because there were many messages, the phone was stuck from there. Zhang Tiezhu was used to it. He skillfully pressed the power button of the phone and restarted it. ¡°Host, this isn¡¯t a phone. This is electronic trash. Throw it away!¡± ¡°Host, I suggest you buy a basic phone instead. You can get one online for 50 yuan. It¡¯s definitely better than the trash in your hand.¡± ¡°You just want us to look at your laggy phone? That¡¯s too boring. What are you going to review today? Hurry up and get down to it.¡± ¡°Why are you being so mysterious? If you are not reviewing anything, we¡¯ll do it ourselves!¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s complaints, Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s phone finally restarted. ¡°Finally, it¡¯s done, bro.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve just experienced the operations of an introductory phone from four years ago.¡± ¡°I can say with certainty that this phone has already become electronic trash. Those who have a choice would definitely not continue using it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s completely trash now!¡± The comments section instantly exploded. ¡°Do I need you to tell me that? We know that it¡¯s trash!¡± ¡°F*ck, this is your review?¡± ¡°Review my ass! Do we need you to review this? Isn¡¯t this obvious?¡± ¡°Tiezhu, if you have nothing to say, I¡¯m leaving now!¡± At this moment, Zhang Tiezhu smiled and said, ¡°My dear supporters, the star of today¡¯s show is here. Today¡¯s protagonist is the Divine Dragon Optimization App! An optimization software that claims to be able to reinvigorate phones from five years ago. Your old phone will no longer be laggy!¡± ¡°This is bullshit. You are pushing it! It¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°Tiezhu, tell me, how much did the Divine Dragon Optimization App pay you to say this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s doubts, Zhang Tiezhu installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on his phone, and a restart notification popped up. ¡°Before the app can be used, we need to restart and optimize the system. It will take about a minute.¡± ¡°My dear supporters, please do not blink. You¡¯ll witness a miracle soon!¡± After Zhang Tiezhu clicked ¡®confirm¡¯, the phone screen went black. ¡°Tiezhu, if this doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll unfollow you.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, witness a miracle? What miracle? I don¡¯t believe that my phone won¡¯t lag after installing this Divine Dragon Optimization App on it.¡± ¡°Everyone, watch carefully. We can¡¯t let Tiezhu swap his phone and lie to us that it¡¯s the effect of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± A minute went by very quickly. Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s phone screen in front of the camera suddenly lit up. A majestic golden dragon icon appeared in the middle of the screen, followed by a line of words in gold, ¡°Divine Dragon Software¡±. The audience was stunned by the impressive golden dragon icon. ¡°F*ck, even the opening screen has changed!¡± ¡°This golden dragon is so impressive looking.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, share the source of the opening screen and I¡¯ll forgive you.¡± ¡°Why did the opening screen change? It¡¯s unbelievable! If you want to change the opening screen, you have to change the system file. The Divine Dragon Optimization App can actually change the system file.¡± The comments section exploded. Countless comments quickly came in. About 10 seconds later, the golden dragon icon disappeared and the locked screen interface was displayed. ¡°Ten seconds to enter the locked screen. Before installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it took one minute to enter the locked screen interface.¡± Zhang Tiezhu explained as he entered the password to unlock it. The phone was now at the desktop screen. There was no lag in the entire process. It was unbelievably smooth. ¡°F*ck, Tiezhu, did you secretly swap phones?¡± ¡°How is that possible? It was clearly so laggy just now.¡± ¡°This app is really something.¡± User Little Jiji sent a chicken drumstick! User Yoshiba sent two chicken drumsticks! Chicken drumstick +178. On the public screen, gifts kept popping up. Zhang Tiezhu was excited because after so many livestreams, this was the first time so many people had given him gifts. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s try this out. There¡¯s no lag when I switch screens.¡± Zhang Tiezhu swiped to switch screens smoothly. ¡°I¡¯m using QQ and WeChat. When I first entered, it was a little laggy, but I almost couldn¡¯t feel it. The process was very smooth.¡± Right on the heels of that, Zhang Tiezhu opened WeChat and QQ. When he first entered, he was slightly laggy but then it became smooth. He opened the group chat. Countless messages came in, but there was still no lag. Zhang Tiezhu tried other apps and found that all the usual apps could be used smoothly. This phone was working almost just as well as a recently released entry-level cell phone and even a mid-range phone. ¡°My dear supporters, after testing, we can see that with the Divine Dragon Optimization App, this entry-level model released four years ago can be used without lag.¡± ¡°Impressive, awesome¡­ Divine Dragon Optimization App is awesome¡­ I¡¯ll download it immediately.¡± ¡°My old phone can be saved. I¡¯ll try downloading it too.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, you actually recommended such a good app! It seems that you haven¡¯t been bribed. I¡¯ll reward you with a chicken drumstick.¡± A ¡°chicken drumstick +25¡± notification flashed on the public screen! ¡°Tiezhu, let¡¯s see how good the Divine Dragon Optimization App is. Go to League of Legends and see if you can play it¡­¡± ¡°Try playing League of Legends¡­¡± +56 Countless people repeated the same request. ¡°Actually, I also want to see if a phone from four years ago can be used to play League of Legends after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± As Zhang Tiezhu spoke, he opened the League of Legends game on his phone. ¡°The League of Legends game couldn¡¯t be opened on this phone earlier. There was no either no response when you clicked on the software, or it would flash and then die off.¡± ¡°Now that I¡¯ve installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App, I want to try again.¡± Zhang Tiezhu clicked on the game icon and the software started smoothly. The image of League of Legends gradually appeared. ¡°Look, they¡¯re already in! There¡¯s no lagging or black screen. This is simply a miracle.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already matched the players. Let¡¯s take a look at how the phone does in the game.¡± Zhang Tiezhu clicked on the random match. ¡°The quality of the game¡¯s graphics is automatically adjusted to low quality. The game can reach about 50 frames¡­ Damn, can it really be played?¡± Zhang Tiezhu was especially surprised. ¡°Wow, wow, wow¡­¡± ¡°Great, great, great, great¡­¡± ¡°Amazing! This app is amazing!¡± ¡°Tiezhu, let¡¯s come back to the main point, URL!¡± ¡°URL¡­¡± +5784 ¡°How is it? Is this app amazing? Did someone say I was bought?¡± Zhang Tiezhu put down his phone with a proud look. ¡°Cut the crap. What we need is the URL!¡± ¡°URL¡­¡± +6874 Chicken drumstick +178. A chicken drumstick is equivalent to one yuan. He had received more than 5,000 chicken drumsticks in this livestream. With a happy smile on his face, Zhang Tiezhu stopped teasing everyone. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App is available on all app stores. Just search and download it.¡± Instantly, there were fewer comments. Everyone was busy downloading the app. ¡°Liar, this app isn¡¯t on the Dami Mall!¡± ¡°Host, you¡¯re lying. I can¡¯t find this app in the app store on my phone¡­¡± ¡°F*ck, I was searching for the Divine Dragon Optimization App in an app store. It was indicated that this app was a risky app. The phone¡¯s warranty was affected after the app was installed. The app had been taken off the shelves.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, there¡¯s something wrong with this app. Could it be a virus? Hurry up and see if your old phone can still be used.¡± ¡°Damn, there¡¯s definitely something wrong with this app. After I searched the app store just now, a risk notification popped up. It said that the app will change the system file. There¡¯s a lot of risk and it might cause a system issue.¡± Chapter 85 - 85 Divine Dragon Optimization App Removed from App Stores 85 Divine Dragon Optimization App Removed from App Stores ¡°How could this be?¡± Seeing the comments in the comments section, Zhang Tiezhu frowned. He had just downloaded the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app store. How could it be gone not long after! Zhang Tiezhu opened the app store and searched for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Then, a notification appeared. ¡®There are potential security risks in the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It has been taken off the shelves.¡¯ ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I found it in the app store just now. Why was it suddenly deemed a risk? Why was it suddenly removed?¡± ¡°Wait, could it be that the mobile phone manufacturers discovered the effect of the Divine Dragon Optimization App and thus removed it?¡± Zhang Tiezhu thought of this possibility and immediately began to verify it. He downloaded a few mainstream mobile phone manufacturers¡¯ app stores and started searching for the Divine Dragon Optimization App! Nothing! Not a single one! ¡°F*ck, has the Divine Dragon Optimization App been banned?¡± Zhang Tiezhu was dumbfounded. Seeing the question marks that kept popping up on the public screen, he explained, ¡°My dear supporters, the Divine Dragon Optimization App might have been banned by the phone manufacturer.¡± ¡°As you can see, I¡¯ve searched all the mainstream mobile app stores, but there¡¯s no Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know why the phone manufacturers are doing that.¡± ¡°However, if you want to download the Divine Dragon Optimization App, you can download it from the official website of Divine Dragon Software.¡± Zhang Tiezhu opened the Divine Dragon Optimization App installed on his phone. After completing the replacement of the virtual machine, a very simple interface that was like a personal center can be opened by clicking on the icon. This interface allowed login, purchase of software rights, and other related operations. Even if he changed his phone, as long as he logged into the same account, the optimization ability of the Divine Dragon Optimization App would be transferred to the new phone. In this interface, there was the official website of Divine Dragon Software. There was also a writeup on the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Tiezhu, could this app be a virus? Otherwise, why would it suddenly be taken down from all the app stores?¡± Someone typed a question on the public screen. ¡°Tiezhu, why was it taken off the shelves if there¡¯s no virus?¡± ¡°Tiezhu, are you trying to scam us? Are you trying to remotely control our phones so that you can scam others?¡± ¡°Tiezhu, surrender yourself!¡± ¡°Tiezhu, here¡¯s a punch from me.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, suck my d*ck¡± +6541 ¡°Tiezhu, if you don¡¯t explain this matter clearly, I¡¯m really going to unfollow you.¡± While everyone was up in arms, someone also wrote such a comment. Zhang Tiezhu knew that he had to explain to the audience in the livestream. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined all at once. Zhang Tiezhu didn¡¯t panic in the face of all the questioning. He had already done a lot of work and had a certain understanding of the Divine Dragon Software Company before the livestream. ¡°My dear supporters, do you not know what kind of person I am? I am honest and I give you value-for-money deals!¡± Zhang Tiezhu opened the personal center of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. On the left side of the app, there was a link to ¡°About us¡±. After he clicked on the link, a new page appeared. On the new page, there was an overview of the Divine Dragon Software Company. There was also a Letter of Appreciation from the Tianyi City Police Department, addressed to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Zhang Tiezhu opened the photo of the Letter of Appreciation and projected it into the livestream. ¡°My dear supporters, look at this. Tianyi City Police Station has sent a Letter of Appreciation to the Divine Dragon Software Company, expressing their appreciation for the Data Restoration software they developed.¡± Then, Zhang Tiezhu scrolled down to the bottom of the ¡®About Us¡¯ section. There was a line of text here. ¡°In March of this year, my company signed a Data Restoration software supply agreement with the Jinshan Province Police Department.¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Zhang Tiezhu clicked on this title. They were redirected to the official website of the Jinshan Province Police Department. ¡°My dear supporters, look, Divine Dragon Software Company and the Jinshan Province Police Department are working together.¡± ¡°Would a company that works so closely with the police departments develop software with viruses?¡± After Zhang Tiezhu closed the relevant pages, the scene returned to the livestream room. ¡°I don¡¯t think so!¡± ¡°No, it wouldn¡¯t!¡± +14558 ¡°Then why do you think the Divine Dragon Optimization App was banned by the various app stores?!¡± Someone asked in confusion. ¡°Are you guys stupid? If the phones from four to five years ago could run smoothly, who would the phone manufacturers sell the new phones to? If the phones can¡¯t be sold, how can the phone manufacturers earn money? The Divine Dragon Optimization App would affect the phone manufacturers¡¯ revenue. How can the phone manufacturers tolerate such an app appearing in their app stores? If it were you, would you want such an app to exist?¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Many people were enlightened. ¡°No!¡± +15452 ¡°I¡¯ve wronged Tiezhu. I apologize. Here¡¯s an apology.¡± Chicken drumstick +1,896 ¡°Alright, my dear supporters, although you can¡¯t find the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the app store, here¡¯s the web address of the Divine Dragon Software Company. You can also download the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the official website.¡± Zhang Tiezhu smiled and sent the web address of the Divine Dragon Software Company to the public screen. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing I need to make clear to everyone.¡± ¡°The free trial for the Divine Dragon Optimization App is only for one month. After the one month trial period, you would have to pay in order to use it.¡± Zhang Tiezhu explained the charging policy of the app. ¡°What? It costs money!¡± ¡°F*ck, Tiezhu, you never recommended software that requires money, but you are actually recommending one today. You must have been paid to do this.¡± ¡°Unfollow! Unfollow! If I had money, I wouldn¡¯t need to download the Divine Dragon Optimization App to extend my old phone¡¯s life!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have money!¡± ¡°You are a freeloader.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal to charge for such good software. As long as the price isn¡¯t too high, I¡¯ll pay to use it.¡± The livestream was instantly filled with curses. At the same time, there were some rational voices. ¡°My dear supporters, don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯m not done yet.¡± ¡°The annual usage fee for the Divine Dragon Optimization App is 18 yuan! Moreover, the Divine Dragon Optimization App is tied to an account. Even if you change your phone, it can still be used.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App can rejuvenate one¡¯s old phone.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s used on a new phone, the effect will also be amazing!¡± Zhang Tiezhu hurriedly explained. ¡°F*ck, is it really 18 yuan a year?¡± ¡°No way. No company will be so kind, right? It only costs 18 yuan a year to use it?¡± ¡°Love it, love it!¡± ¡°Downloading. Buy a year¡¯s worth of usage rights first.¡± ¡°Tiezhu, you¡¯re so long winded. If you had said 18 yuan a year earlier, we wouldn¡¯t have scolded you. I may not have 180 yuan, but I still have 18 yuan.¡± ¡°Long winded! I still have 18 yuan.¡± +2,356 ¡°My dear supporters, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s review of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. I hope the Divine Dragon Optimization App recommended today can help you. If you think that Tiazhu¡¯s livestream is helpful to you, please click ¡®follow¡¯.¡± Instantly, the words ¡®Goodbye¡¯ kept popping up on the public screen. The number of viewers of the livestream had risen to a historic 30,000, three times more than the usual number of viewers. Zhang Tiezhu didn¡¯t want to turn off the livestream at all. He rolled his eyes and had an idea. ¡°Next, we¡¯re going to carry out an even more exciting review. We will test the effect of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on a flagship device that was just released this year.¡± The livestream audience that was originally leaving one after another slowly returned to the livestream. ¡­ Meanwhile, at the Divine Dragon Software Company in Tianyi City, Zhao Na and Li Chengqian looked at the big screen with solemn expressions. The download statistics of the Divine Dragon Optimization App over the entire internet was projected on the big screen. After the app was put out the various app stores, the numbers increased rapidly. In just one morning, there were 13,000 downloads. From the afternoon onwards, the downloads began to decrease. There were only 1,000 plus downloads in the afternoon. Then, after waiting for a full hour, there were only a dozen downloads. The abnormal data attracted Zhao Na and Li Chengqian¡¯s attention. ¡°Boss, our Divine Dragon Optimization App has been taken down by all the app stores on the internet and it has been marked as risky!¡± ¡°That explains the abnormal data.¡± ¡°Do you know why the major app stores removed our apps?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a frown. ¡°Most of the app stores sent us messages behind the scenes informing us that our Divine Dragon Optimization App alters the system file. They think this is very risky and wanted us to provide our source code for their review.¡± Zhao Na reported the information she had gathered. ¡°Are they asking for the door to be slammed in their faces?¡± Li Chengqian sneered. They have to be stupid to release the source code to others. ¡°The reason why they took down our Divine Dragon Optimization App must be because they discovered the power of this App. Divine Dragon Optimization App made them feel threatened, their interests are at stake.¡± ¡°Do they think that they can stop the Divine Dragon Optimization App just by taking it off the shelves? Impossible!¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. ¡°Boss, how are we going to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App now?¡± Zhao Na asked with a frown. With the strong performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, if it hadn¡¯t been taken down by the app stores, it would have been a number-one app within a month. Now that it has been taken off the shelves, it was almost impossible to achieve this now Chapter 86 - 86 The Big Manufacturers are Alarmed 86 The Big Manufacturers are Alarmed Due to the appearance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, all the major mobile phone manufacturers in the country were alarmed. There was a buzz at all the major phone manufacturers. Several senior vice presidents took overnight flights to Jinshan Province. Even the chairman of Heyme Corporation personally rushed to Jinshan Province. Even Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent sent their personnel to Tianyi City, where Divine Dragon Software Company was located, to hold talks regarding the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Zhang Qinglan, the senior vice president of OPPO, was also on his way. ¡°President Zhang, we just received news that all the manufacturers¡¯ app stores have removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App. At the same time, they have issued a security warning on the App.¡± Zhang Qinglan, the senior vice president in charge of mobile operating system secondary development, was rushing to the airport when Secretary Liu Ping carefully updated him on the information she had just obtained. ¡°Liu Ping, it seems that the other manufacturers have already realized the terrifying potential of the Divine Dragon Optimization App,¡± Zhang Qinglan said in a low voice. ¡°I suspect that negotiators from the other manufacturers are also rushing to Tianyi City in Jinshan Province. Like us, they want to buy the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Zhang Qinglan said in a low voice. ¡°President Zhang, the major manufacturers communicated with each other three hours ago. Firstly, they removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app stores to reduce its popularity. Secondly, they want to monitor the situation first and thus would not be making contact with the Divine Dragon Software Company for the time being.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be unscrupulous of us to rush to Tianyi City to talk to the Divine Dragon Software Company now?¡± Liu Ping, who was a recent hire, asked in puzzlement. ¡°Liu Ping, you¡¯re still too young. The purpose of the company¡¯s existence is to earn money. If we play fair, who will support our company¡¯s tens of thousands of people? Moreover, will the other companies also play by moral and ethics? Impossible!¡± Zhang Qinglan lectured. ¡°Oh! I understand now!¡± Liu Ping nodded with a look of understanding. She still had a question in her heart. ¡°President Zhang, do you think the boss of Divine Dragon Software Company will be very mad at us for removing the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app store?¡± President Zhang smiled and explained, ¡°I¡¯ve already gotten someone to investigate this company. It¡¯s a small company that has just been established. They have two products. One is the Data Restoration software, and it has already clinched a 10 million yuan contract this year. The other is the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It has just been released.¡± ¡°The boss of the company is called Li Chengqian, a third-year student. He¡¯s a talent. He just won the provincial championship in the Jinshan Province Junior Informatics Programming Competition.¡± ¡°His parents were ordinary workers. They used to work in small companies.¡± ¡°Before Li Chengqian founded the Divine Dragon Software Company, his family wasn¡¯t rich. He was born into an ordinary family, the kind that would worry about mortgages.¡± ¡°So, even if Li Chengqian is very angry, he can¡¯t do anything to us because we¡¯re going to give him money.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also prepared to offer Li Chengqian 100 million yuan to buy out the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Do you think a child from an ordinary family will still be angry with me because I removed his App from the app store after hearing the 100 million yuan offer?¡± ¡°His original intention in developing the Divine Dragon Optimization App must be to make money. If I let him make money, he will only thank me and not be angry with me.¡± President Zhang smiled at Liu Ping. Liu Ping was only 21 years old and had just graduated from university this year. She had a graceful figure, delicate and fair skin, and a youthful aura. Her looks were also top-notch. To the 50-year-old Zhang Qinglan, she was very attractive. This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Qinglan was willing to teach her. ¡°Hiss¡­ 100 million! I can¡¯t even earn that much money in 10 lifetimes.¡± Liu Ping¡¯s eyes widened. She was shocked by the price Zhang Qinglan mentioned. This was an unimaginable wealth. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zhang Qinglan looked at Liu Ping with a smile. In fact, he knew very well that 100 million yuan was definitely not enough to buy the source code. He was just a soldier sent to the frontline to recce the terrain. Back then, Alibaba had developed a yunOS. It was similar to the Divine Dragon Optimization App in nature. They were both virtual machines. After spending five billion yuan in two years, the yun virtual machine was not up to mark, and it paled in comparison to the Android virtual machine. It didn¡¯t solve the problem of Android¡¯s lag at all. The project failed in the end. HarmonyOS, which was developed by Huawei, was essentially a replacement for the Android virtual machine. It did well, but its performance was only comparable to the Android virtual machine. However, it took five years and no less than eight billion yuan to develop the HarmonyOS. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was obviously more advanced than these two virtual machines. It was almost an era ahead in terms of hardware performance. It was wishful thinking to want to buy it for 100 million. Some experienced mobile phone experts say that whoever has the Divine Dragon Optimization App will become the next Apple. If the Divine Dragon Optimization App was open source like Android, it could even eliminate Apple in the near future. Meanwhile, the chairman of Heyme Corporation, Lei Che, was carefully reading the information his secretary had gathered. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App is a secondary concern. If Li Chengqian is willing to join Heyme Corporation, I¡¯m willing to give him 5% of the company¡¯s non-diluting shares, the kind that can be listed and circulated in five years! I want him to be my collaborator.¡± Lei Che had decided on his game plan. ¡°Chairman Lei, with Heyme¡¯s market value of 250 billion yuan, 5% shares is 12.5 billion yuan! Isn¡¯t that too much?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand what a genius can do for the company!¡± Chairman Lei shook his head. With the talent Li Chengqian had displayed, he could perhaps transform Heyme Corporation into another Apple, or even better than Apple¡­! Meanwhile, over at the CEO¡¯s office in Huawei, Wang Renfei, had finished reading the report on Li Chengqian. He pondered for a while and then started making arrangements. ¡°Give him an annual salary of 80 million yuan and 3% of Huawei¡¯s shares. As long as Li Chengqian is willing to join us, I¡¯ll let him take over my job after two years if he meets the criteria! If he¡¯s not talented enough in management, I¡¯ll let him take charge of Huawei¡¯s software department.¡± ¡°Do your best to get him to join us. If Li Chengqian is unwilling to come, offer him 3 billion yuan to buy back the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡­ As for Li Chengqian, who was the cause of this storm, he had already returned to his class and was quietly listening to the teacher¡¯s lecture. He applied for a week¡¯s leave from the school after he got back from Tianbao City because he needed to follow up on matters relating to the Data Restoration software. ¡°Li Chengqian, have you had breakfast? I brought some cake. It¡¯s quite delicious. Try it.¡± The morning session had ended. Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was gentle, and her eyes were filled with anticipation. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ve already eaten this morning.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and rejected Jian Qingli¡¯s offer. ¡°Oh.¡± Jian Qingli was a little disappointed. Then, she pretended to ask casually, ¡°By the way, why didn¡¯t I see you this morning?¡± Knowing that Li Chengqian was going back to school for class, Jian Qingli waited at Li Chengqian¡¯s door for a long time in the morning, but to no avail. Later, when she saw Chen Li leaving her house, she asked and found out that Li Chengqian had not returned the night before. ¡°I had to deal with something at the company, so I didn¡¯t go home,¡± Li Chengqian answered casually. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was taken off the shelves. Li Chengqian had already arranged for Zhao Na to contact other promotional channels. There was no response for the time being. Other than continuing his work on the operating system core, he could only read. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re already so wealthy. Actually, there¡¯s no need to work so hard.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes lit up. She had always been worried that Li Chengqian would go out to play with other girls and stay out all night. At this moment, Zhao Peng jogged to the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5 and stood beside Li Chengqian. ¡°Captain, didn¡¯t you say that the Divine Dragon Optimization App is already on the shelves of various app stores?¡± ¡°I just searched, but I couldn¡¯t find anything. I even received a security risk notification. It said that there¡¯s an issue with the Divine Dragon Optimization App and there¡¯s a risk of damage to the phone system.¡± ¡°These mobile phone manufacturers must know how powerful the Divine Dragon Optimization App is. They think that it will affect the release of their new phones, so they deliberately took down the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Those who were planning to purchase a new phone downloaded the Divine Dragon Optimization App and realized that their old phones were even more useful and worked faster than new phones. Who would still want to purchase a new phone? ¡°Not only did they remove the app, but they also deliberately misled consumers into thinking that there was a problem with the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They are trying to discourage consumers from downloading the app through other channels.¡± ¡°They are even threatening users that using the Divine Dragon Optimization App would impact the validity of the warranty!¡± ¡°This is too much!¡± Zhao Peng¡¯s tone was full of anger. He had personally participated in the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Although he was only inputting the codes, he knew that there were no issues with the App. Because he was the first user of the Divine Dragon Optimization App! He had installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on his phone. After installing the App, he only needed to charge his phone every other day, instead of every day as before. In the past, he had to turn off his phone every day to use it. If he didn¡¯t turn it off, his phone would lag and it would also overheat after some time. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, no matter how it was used, the phone was still the same as when it was turned on. There was no lag. Therefore, the security notification that was put out on the app stores was completely nonsense. ¡°Captain, you have to think of a way to negotiate with these app stores. Tell them that your App is not risky and let them put the App back on the stores?¡± Zhao Peng said anxiously. ¡°I have contacted the relevant app store at the first instance. They said that we need to provide our source code for their review before they would put the App back in the store,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°What nonsense! The review is fake. Their real aim is to steal your software!¡± Zhao Peng immediately understood the other party¡¯s evil intentions. ¡°Captain, we can¡¯t let them bully and slander us like this. Let¡¯s call the police,¡± Zhao Peng said angrily. ¡°I¡¯ve already consulted the professionals. It¡¯s useless to call the police.¡± Zhao Na took a screenshot of the relevant pages and consulted several well-known lawyers. However, all the major app stores had exemption clauses. At the same time, their security notifications were crafted with template clauses. They used words such as ¡°may cause damage to the system.¡± These major manufacturers have been around for decades. They have a team of leading professionals and talents managing all aspects of the business. Naturally, there wouldn¡¯t be any loopholes in these matters. ¡°Captain, are we just going to let them take down the Divine Dragon Optimization App that we worked so hard to develop? Are we going to do nothing and let them bully us?¡± Zhao Peng was indignant. Chapter 87 - 87 Referral Plan 87 Referral Plan ¡°Zhao Peng, don¡¯t be angry!¡± Li Chengqian was very calm. ¡°I¡¯ve arranged everything.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App has been removed, but this is only temporary.¡± ¡°Soon, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will become popular again. What we have to do is wait patiently.¡± Li Chengqian sneered. The removal of the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app stores had made Li Chengqian realize something. It was necessary to control the distribution channel of mobile phone software! Otherwise, any software released would be at the mercy of others. Zhao Peng had absolute confidence in Li Chengqian. An idea popped up in his mind very quickly. ¡°Captain, the award ceremony for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will be broadcast live online and on television. Do you want to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App at the award ceremony?¡± Right on the heels of that, Zhao Peng frowned again. ¡°Captain, there aren¡¯t many viewers for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. If you want to promote the App through a live broadcast, it might not be very effective.¡± ¡°Alright, stop guessing!¡± Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. He kept Zhao Peng in suspense and said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask. The Divine Dragon Optimization App will be updated at noon today. You will understand what is going on after the software update.¡± There was not much content that needed to be updated. The update was only 1Mb. During the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, Li Chengqian had adopted a modular development method. The App could be updated in the background without affecting the users. Moreover, every time he updated, he would only update the module that had changed. This 1Mb update included an app store program and a Divine Dragon Optimization App Referral Program! The Divine Dragon Optimization App Referral Program was actually very simple. The annual fee would be waived when one shared the App more than 18 times, and each time the App was installed and kept on the phone for more than three days. This was a very simple plan. He would reward existing users for promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App. If other apps were to adopt this, Li Chengqian was certain that 99% of the apps would be uninstalled by the users after it had met the time requirements. However, this definitely won¡¯t be the case for the Divine Dragon Optimization App! This was because after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the performance of any phone would improve. The phone would work faster and the battery life would increase. These changes were very obvious and users could easily sense it. When users find an app useful, they would naturally retain it. Li Chengqian¡¯s expected retention rate for the Referral Program was 50%! Fifty percent of users would retain the Divine Dragon Optimization App after installation and become users of the App. Among these 50% of users, a portion of them would share the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This way, although the Divine Dragon Optimization App had been removed from the various app stores, it would be spread through acquaintances, friends, and on social media, and so on. And the Referral Program was just one part of Li Chengqian¡¯s plan. After the Divine Dragon Optimization App was taken off the shelves, Li Chengqian had been thinking how to resolve the problem. Then, he discovered a magical thing on the Internet. The National Software and Information Technology Services Development Plan. The Divine Dragon Optimization App could be considered a software development project that made up for the shortcomings of basic software. With the help of Wang Dalin from the State Secrets Protection Bureau, Li Chengqian contacted Lin Xiong, the expert who reviewed the space station operating system. On Lin Xiong¡¯s recommendation, the experts at the Software Research Institute, which was under the Academy of Sciences, had already started reviewing and testing the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Dr. Wu Biao, who was in charge of this project at the Software Research Institute, had already sent a message to Li Chengqian in the morning to inform him to make a trip to Dragon City soon to answer questions related to the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After the interview, there was a high chance that the Divine Dragon Optimization App would be included in the national project that was aimed at making up for shortcomings of basic software. Once the App was included in the project, the country would give it strong policy support, though there wouldn¡¯t be direct funding. For example, national publicity on the Divine Dragon TV Station. This was invaluable. A previously little known company could become well known within a minute. Or for another example, it would be favored in a nationwide mobile phone purchase contract. The Divine Dragon Mobile Communications Company had 60 million customized phones just in the previous year alone! As long as he got the contract for these 60 million phones, Li Chengqian would be able to get a billion yuan in software usage fees every year. This was the reason why Li Chengqian had always been full of confidence. ¡°Oh, then I have to wait for the update!¡± Zhao Peng trusted Li Chengqian unconditionally. ¡°Captain, I¡¯ll go back now. I have to go to class and promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App so that everyone can download it.¡± After Zhao Peng left, Li Chengqian lowered his head to read. He had bought some books on brain studies and brain waves during the competition some time ago. He had already read most of the books and was down to the last one. The more books he read, the more Li Chengqian realized how little he knew. Through the books, he realized that humans¡¯ understanding of the operating mechanism of the brain, brain waves, and other brain sciences was very shallow. ¡°After I finish reading these books, I need more in-depth books to study.¡± However, Li Chengqian estimated that humans had yet to fully understand brain waves. As such, even if there were in-depth books, he wouldn¡¯t benefit much from reading them. ¡°If all else fails, I would have to wait till I take on the University Student profession, so that I can buy knowledge on brain sciences and brain waves from the Profession Mall.¡± There were Knowledge skills available in the Profession Mall. As this was a game set against a sci-fi background, the Knowledge skills available in the Profession Mall were extremely advanced. Brain science, brainwave analysis, and other knowledge were all available in the Profession Mall! However, the most basic requirement for buying knowledge-type skills was to take on the University Student profession. Moreover, after he took on the University Student profession, all the knowledge he had learned would exist in the form of Skills in his personal interface. By that time, he could use his experience value points to upgrade the proficiency of his Skills and obtain complete knowledge of related subjects. Zhao Peng had just left when Zhao Na, who was looking absolutely alluring, appeared at the entrance of Grade 12 Class 5. Her fiery red lips and charming gaze attracted the attention of all the boys in the class. Her eyes swept across the classroom and spotted Li Chengqian, who was focused on reading. ¡°This woman is so attractive.¡± ¡°What a stunner. She¡¯s a hundred times better than those flirtatious female livestreamers. She has the charm of a mature woman?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. ¡°She reeks of hormones.¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°And sexy. Who is this girl?¡± ¡°Could this woman be a new teacher at our school?¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion, Zhao Na smiled charmingly and said to the boy at the door, ¡°Student, can you do me a favor?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± When the boy heard Zhao Na¡¯s voice, his body went limp. How could he refuse? ¡°Help me call Li Chengqian out. I have something to discuss with him.¡± Zhao Na pointed at Li Chengqian and said. In fact, Li Chengqian had instructed her not to come to the school unless it was something especially important. She came as she had something really urgent but she couldn¡¯t get through to Li Chengqian¡¯s phone, so she could only come over personally. The representatives of Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and some major domestic mobile phone manufacturers had already arrived! They were at Divine Dragon Software Company. Faced with these technology big shots, Zhao Na could only come and look for Li Chengqian in school. The other boys were also pricking up their ears to listen to what Zhao Na had to say. They heard what she said and turned to look at Li Chengqian enviously. ¡°Awesome Li, there¡¯s a beauty at the door looking for you.¡± Before the boy at the door could speak, the students around Li Chengqian began to jeer. Li Chengqian looked up and happened to see Zhao Na smiling sweetly. Then, under everyone¡¯s envious gazes, he walked out of the classroom calmly. ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful. Is this woman a model?¡± ¡°How did Li Chengqian get to know such a beauty? I¡¯m so envious.¡± Chapter 88 - 88 They are Here 88 They are Here ¡°Boss, something major has happened!¡± The two of them avoided the classroom door and walked towards the teacher¡¯s office. Zhao Na¡¯s voice was solemn. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Before Li Chengqian came to school, he had instructed that unless it was something very serious, Zhao Na mustn¡¯t come to the school to look for him. Since Zhao Na was here, it meant that the matter was something she could not handle. ¡°Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Motorola¡ªthe three largest internet companies and the four largest mobile phone companies¡ªhave all come to our company.¡± Zhao Na¡¯s voice was a little agitated. ¡°Among the people who came, the ones with the lowest positions are the vice presidents of the corporation. These are all big shots in the internet and mobile phone industries, they are super influential and everything they do can shake the industry.¡± ¡°They are all waiting to meet you at our company¡¯s reception room.¡± ¡°Boss, with your current wealth, why are you still attending classes at school? With your programming talent, you are better off managing Divine Dragon Software Company and developing more powerful software.¡± This was what puzzled Zhao Na the most. Li Chengqian was already so wealthy, but he still came to school to attend classes. Coming to class was simply a waste of time! ¡°You don¡¯t understand!¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. His foundation was the Master of All Professions game, and he needed to take on professions. Now was not the time for him to fool around. Even if he wanted to do so, he had to wait until he had taken on the University Student profession. ¡°Education is the foundation of everything. Only those who study hard will have a future.¡± ¡°Alright, you¡¯re the boss. Whatever you say!¡± Zhao Na rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian flirtatiously and then got down to business. ¡°Boss, quickly get back to the company with me to deal with these people.¡± ¡°I still have class, so I won¡¯t be going back to the company. You¡¯re in charge of receiving these people. Ask them why they came to our company and send me an email.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t need to ask. He knew why these people came to the Divine Dragon Software Company. If he was right, they have come to buy the Divine Dragon Optimization App! The companies that came today had all removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores and have also issued a security warning on the App. ¡°Ah? Boss, you must not act on impulse!¡± Zhao Na thought that she had heard wrongly. After she confirmed that Li Chengqian had said this, she hurriedly tried to persuade him. ¡°Boss, although these companies do appear to be bullying us by removing our Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores and by issuing a security warning on the App.¡± ¡°But these companies are all internet giants. They have terrifyingly vast resources.¡± ¡°You¡¯d better meet them. Our company is new. If these companies are ruthless to us, we won¡¯t be able to withstand their methods.¡± Zhao Na advised earnestly. If they offended all the giants who came today, Divine Dragon Software Company would be in trouble. To put it simply, if Baidu blocked words related to Divine Dragon Software in their search engine, with Divine Dragon Software¡¯s current popularity, it would disappear from the internet. ¡°Zhao Na, listen to me and do as I say.¡± Li Chengqian really wasn¡¯t being impulsive. He had his own considerations. Li Chengqian¡¯s goal was really to give these big companies and internet giants the cold shoulder. ¡°I have to go to class. I don¡¯t have time to see them.¡± ¡°Firstly, go figure out what they want and then email me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll handle the rest accordingly.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was very firm. After giving his instructions, he looked at Zhao Na, who was frowning tightly, and comforted her. ¡°Zhao Na, I can tell you for sure that they came to beg us this time.¡± ¡°So you don¡¯t have to worry about what they¡¯ll do to our company!¡± ¡°Zhao Na, you can be more assertive. The ball is in our court now. They¡¯re the ones begging us.¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all. I¡¯m going back to class.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the classroom. ¡°It¡¯s your company anyway. If you don¡¯t care, why should I worry about you?!¡± Zhao Na stomped her feet angrily and went back to the company. Li Chengqian had just returned to the classroom when the boys¡¯ envious gazes immediately focused on him. Then, their expectant gazes locked out of the door, but they did not see the beautiful Zhao Na anymore. Immediately, they sighed wistfully. ¡°Li Chengqian, the person who came to look for you just now is beautiful. Who is she?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was sour. She had thought that with her beauty, her proximity to Li Chengqian, and her initiative to pursue him, she would definitely be able to woo him. After seeing Zhao Na today, she was no longer so confident. ¡°It¡¯s someone from our company,¡± Li Chengqian replied calmly. Then, he went back to the book. ¡°Oh!¡± Jian Qingli was very dissatisfied with Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, but she had no choice. She rolled her eyes. ¡°Li Chengqian, what¡¯s the use of your company¡¯s newly released Divine Dragon Optimization App software? Why was it taken down by the other companies?¡± She had been listening attentively to the conversation between Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng earlier. She had long wanted to use this topic to chat with Li Chengqian, but she never got the chance. ¡°To optimize the performance of cell phones. The App was removed from the app store because I have affected their interests¡­¡± Li Chengqian answered concisely. Just as Jian Qingli was about to continue asking, Teacher Tian Wenming walked into the classroom with a serious expression. ¡°Quiet, class starts now¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking. Pay attention in class!¡± Li Chengqian found an excuse, and Jian Qingli finally quietened down. ¡­ Meanwhile, Zhao Na went back to the company after receiving Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions. In the reception room, the people from the various companies were talking quietly. At this moment, Zhao Na pushed open the door and entered the reception room. She gave a simple opening speech. ¡°Friends, on behalf of Divine Dragon Software Company, I welcome you.¡± ¡°All of you are high-ranking executives of your company, but you have so kindly visited us. It¡¯s our honor.¡± ¡°All of you have busy schedules. I apologize for making you wait the entire morning.¡± ¡°According to our boss¡¯s instructions, in order not to waste everyone¡¯s time, we will cut to the chase.¡± ¡°Please follow me to the conference room and explain your intentions.¡± After a simple opening speech, Zhao Na made a gesture inviting everyone. ¡°Director Zhao, where¡¯s your boss?¡± Zhang Qinglan of OPPO asked with an imperceptible frown. The others also looked at Zhao Na because Zhang Qinglan had asked what everyone was thinking. What they wanted to discuss was not something that a low-ranking woman like Zhao Na could make decisions on. They needed Li Chengqian to be here to make a decision. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sorry. Our boss has something very important to do and can¡¯t come over.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s original words were that ¡®I still have class and don¡¯t have time to see them¡¯. Zhao Na naturally couldn¡¯t repeat what Li Chengqian actually said. Everyone would be offended. ¡°If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly.¡± Zhao Na kept a professional smile on her face. ¡°Director Zhao, when can your boss come over?¡± Zhang Qinglan¡¯s eyes were filled with contempt. Zhao Na was in no position to discuss a matter that involved hundreds of millions. ¡°Director Zhao, please help us talk to your boss. We really have something very important to discuss with him,¡± the representative of Heyme Corporation said very politely. ¡°Director Zhao, you need to help us. Our chairman has ordered us to see your boss. If we don¡¯t manage to meet him, we will be fired when we get back,¡± the Executive Vice President of Huawei Corporation said with a bitter smile. ¡°Director Zhao, we¡¯re from Baidu¡­¡± ¡°Please be quiet and listen to me.¡± Zhao Na kept a professional expression on her face. ¡°In order to save everyone¡¯s time, if you need to talk to our boss directly, please give us your company name and contact information. When our boss has the time, we will call you one by one and invite you over.¡± ¡°If you feel that you can tell me, please follow me to the conference room.¡± After Zhao Na finished speaking, she instructed a young girl who had just joined the company to serve everyone and she walked towards the conference room. Everyone present was experienced in the business world. Although Zhao Na didn¡¯t show it directly, this series of arrangements indicated to everyone that she was upset! ¡°Hey, this woman has a temper. Li Chengqian, a 17-year-old boy, can actually control such an aggressive staff. He¡¯s really not simple.¡± Zhang Qinglan shook his head with a smile, but he didn¡¯t take offense. ¡°This President Zhao is too young. She¡¯s rash and immature. To think that she is upset over something so minor. If I can acquire Divine Dragon Software Company, the first thing I¡¯ll do would be to transfer her to be my secretary so I can personally train her.¡± The representative from Tencent was a middle-aged man in his forties. His eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Na¡¯s voluptuous figure. Most of the people who came didn¡¯t take Zhao Na seriously. Chapter 89 - 89 Terrible Price to Pay 89 Terrible Price to Pay Most of the company representatives felt that talking to Zhao Na was a waste of time and energy, so they left after leaving behind their contact information. However, there were still two companies that stayed behind. The representatives of Huawei and Heyme followed Zhao Na into the conference room. ¡°I¡¯m Wei Dajin, Executive Vice President of Huawei. Nice to meet you, Director Zhao.¡± Wei Dajin was tall and well built. He had a square face, and although he was already 50 years old, he looked especially energetic. He had the air of a career soldier. ¡°I¡¯m Wang Qian, CEO of Heyme Corporation. Nice to meet you, Director Zhao.¡± Wang Qian¡¯s hair was white, but his eyes were sharp and his face was elegant. He was wearing a gray suit and had an endearing demeanor. ¡°Welcome, seniors!¡± Zhao Na maintained a professional smile on her face. ¡°Seniors, do you think we should talk one to one or altogether?¡± After glancing at the two of them, Zhao Na asked for their opinions upfront. ¡°Let¡¯s talk together!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk together!¡± Wei Dajin and Wang Qian looked at each other and smiled. ¡°Alright, then please tell me your purpose first, President Wei.¡± Zhao Na opened her notebook. ¡°Huawei would like to acquire the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Wei Dajin said calmly. ¡°The acquisition would include two assets, the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software.¡± ¡°Our initial offer is three billion yuan!¡± Wei Dajin¡¯s tone was firm when he quoted the astronomical figure. ¡°Our Chairman, Wang Renfei, also has a message for your boss, Li Chengqian. The Chairman said that as long as your boss, Li Chengqian, is willing to work in Huawei, he will be made Huawei¡¯s CEO in two years. Huawei will give him 3% dividend-paying shares and an annual salary of 80 million yuan! As long as Li Chengqian is in Huawei, this salary will only increase and will never decrease.¡± Of course, if Li Chengqian agrees to join Huawei, he would definitely have to sign a rigorous agreement. He would only be given the shares and the dividends after he met certain conditions. Huawei was famous for not keeping dead wood. If Li Chengqian didn¡¯t produce any results after joining Huawei, he would be booted out and he would have to pay a huge compensation. ¡°Huawei¡¯s net profit last year was 60 billion yuan. Based on 3% dividend, Li Chengqian could stand to earn 1.8 billion yuan a year.¡± After Wei Dajin finished speaking, he smiled at Wang Qian, CEO of Heyme Corporation. Then, his gaze landed on Zhao Na. Zhao Na was stunned from the moment Wei Dajin spoke. However, she kept a poker face as she didn¡¯t want the other party to read her mind. Three billion yuan to buy the Divine Dragon Software Company. This was an astronomical number. Further, if Li Chengqian went to work at Huawei, in two years, he would become the CEO of a company with a market value of one trillion yuan. Li Chengqian would be 19 years old then. Moreover, this was a Fortune 500 company. Becoming the CEO of a Fortune 500 company at the age of 19? These words made Zhao Na feel like she was in a dream. In addition, 1.8 billion yuan of dividend a year? What kind of concept was this? Zhao Na couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine what this was like! ¡°Li Chengqian is actually so capable!¡± ¡°Asking me, a minion character with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan, to discuss a three billion yuan business deal, Li Chengqian really thinks highly of me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get Li Chengqian to give me a raise later. The company is worth three billion yuan. I¡¯m also considered a senior manager in the company. If he only pays us that miserable salary, he would be like a mercenary feudal lord.¡± Zhao Na recorded every word Wei Dajin said in her notebook. ¡°President Wei, I¡¯ll report your message to my boss verbatim. I¡¯ll inform you as soon as there¡¯s news,¡± Zhao Na pretended to be calm and replied. After hearing Wei Dajin¡¯s offer, Wang Qian became solemn. Wei Dajin¡¯s offer was simply too attractive! ¡°President Wei, your company is indeed worthy of being one of the top 500 companies in the world. Your company¡¯s strength is really amazing.¡± Wang Qian flattered. Huawei was a well established technology company and had been a Fortune 500 company for ten years running. Huawei was also more than three times larger than the Heyme Corporation. ¡°President Wang, you¡¯re too humble. Heyme Corporation¡¯s development is also very impressive. In just 10 years, your company has achieved a market value of 200 billion yuan. It¡¯s really impressive,¡± Wei Dajin said politely. ¡°Director Zhao, Heyme Company doesn¡¯t have pockets as deep as Huawei¡¯s.¡± Wang Qian smiled and turned to Zhao Na. He wasn¡¯t planning to hide anything. ¡°We¡¯re willing to pay 2.5 billion yuan to buy out the Divine Dragon Optimization App, one billion yuan in cash, and 1.5 billion yuan worth of Heyme Corporation¡¯s shares.¡± Wang Qian also quoted an astronomical price. ¡°In addition, our Chairman Lei is especially interested in Mr. Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°He asked me to pass a message to Mr. Li Chengqian. As long as Mr. Li Chengqian is willing to work at Heyme Corporation and become Mr. Lei¡¯s partner, he is willing to give Mr. Li Chengqian 5% of Heyme Corporation¡¯s non-diluting shares.¡± ¡°The current market value of Heyme Corporation is 300 billion yuan, 5% shares is equivalent to 15 billion yuan. The market value of Heyme Corporation is still rising. In a few years, this 5% shares might be worth 50 billion yuan.¡± Wang Qian had a smile on his face as he spoke, the type of smile that puts people at ease. Zhao Na was extremely shocked. She suppressed her shock and recorded what Wang Qian said. ¡°Is this for real? As long as Li Chengqian goes to Heyme Corporation, he will receive 15 billion shares for free!¡± Zhao Na¡¯s heart was filled with disbelief. She even wondered if Chairman Lei of Heyme Corporation was being stupid. Otherwise, why would he give Li Chengqian shares for free? ¡°President Wei, we¡¯re a small company. Although a small company is not as strong as a big company, we have an advantage, which is flexibility.¡± After Wang Qian finished speaking, he turned to look at Wei Dajin. Huawei is an MNC and a Fortune 500 company. Its non-diluting shares were extremely rare. It was impossible for it to offer non-diluting shares like Heyme Corporation. Heimi Corporation had only been established for ten years, and Chairman Lei had absolute control over the company. Although it was difficult, he could bite the bullet and part with 5% of the shares. ¡°President Wang, I remember there was a company called Le something. I can¡¯t remember its full name. It was valued at 195.4 billion yuan last year. It was in the limelight for a while and was similar to Heyme Corporation. After the market turbulence at the beginning of this year, it went bankrupt,¡± Wei Dajin replied with a smile, as if they were just chit chatting. ¡°Sometimes, the shares of small companies seem to be worth a lot of money, but it¡¯s also possible that they can become worthless overnight. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± His tone was gentle, like old friends greeting each other, but there was already hostility in his gentle tone. Under Zhao Na¡¯s gaze, the two of them chatted casually with smiles on their faces. However, every sentence was aimed to attack. ¡°President Wang, that¡¯s enough. Let¡¯s not argue anymore lest Director Zhao laugh at us.¡± Wei Dajin changed the topic. ¡°Seniors, you must be joking!¡± Zhao Na replied politely before continuing, ¡°I¡¯ll organize what the two of you have said and update my boss.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll update you immediately once there is any news.¡± ¡°Tianyi City actually has some good delicacies. I¡¯ll get someone to bring the two of you to try.¡± After Zhao Na finished speaking, she raised her voice a little, ¡°Xiaoli, come in¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± As soon as Wei Dajin and WAng Qian left, Zhao Na returned to her office. After closing the door, she could no longer maintain her composure. Her face was quivering from the shock. She took out her phone and immediately called Li Chengqian. She wanted to tell this shocking news to Li Chengqian. ¡°The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later¡­¡± Hearing the notification from the phone, Zhao Na was speechless. She opened WeChat and sent the prices quoted by Huawei and Heyme. In the end, she couldn¡¯t suppress the excitement in her heart, so she added, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re rich!¡± ¡°You started from scratch at 17 years old and have hundreds of millions of assets! You¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°Also, I want a pay raise. You have to increase my salary!¡± ¡°Also, except for Huawei and Heyme, no one from the other companies could be bothered to talk to me. They looked down on me and didn¡¯t believe I could make any decisions.¡± ¡°They all insisted that they would only reveal their intentions when they get to speak to you personally. When do you have time to meet them?¡± Chapter 90 - 90 No Say 90 No Say Tianyi High School. After class at noon, Li Chengqian took out his phone from his bag. ¡°Tell Huawei, Heyme and the other companies we are not selling any of our company¡¯s software! Also, thank them for their kindness, but I will only work for my own company. I won¡¯t go to any other company.¡± After Li Chengqian read Zhao Na¡¯s messages, he was stunned for a moment before replying directly. Li Chengqian had thought that the representatives of these companies came to the Divine Dragon Software Company to seek collaboration on the Divine Dragon Optimization App. But Huawei and Heyme only wanted to acquire it directly. This wasn¡¯t what Li Chengqian expected. However, Li Chengqian would never sell the Divine Dragon Optimization App. No matter how much money was offered, he would not sell it. Personally, he had no intention of working for anyone. ¡°Tell all the companies that came what I said.¡± ¡°Also, since the other companies looked down on you and refused to tell you their intentions, just inform them that we wouldn¡¯t be collaborating with them for the time being, and ask them to leave.¡± Li Chengqian could already sense the grievance in Zhao Na¡¯s message. ¡°Find a qualified vice president for the Divine Dragon Software Company as soon as possible. Zhao Na is still young after all, and she tends to get emotional when handling things. Let her train for a while in the human resources department first.¡± After Li Chengqian replied to Zhao Na¡¯s message, his gaze landed on the top of the phone screen. An exquisite, majestic golden dragon floated across the top of his screen. It looked especially charming. After tapping on the Divine Dragon, he was moved to the notification page of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Update: 1. New referral program. Recommend 18 new users to the Divine Dragon Optimization App, and you get to use the software free for a year. 2. New Divine Dragon Optimization App Store software. 3. Resolving some bugs reported by users. Size of this update: 1Mb. No matter what brand of phone it was, as long as the Divine Dragon Optimization App was installed, it would receive a notification. Even if a phone manufacturer wanted to, they couldn¡¯t block the update notification. That was because the Divine Dragon Optimization App was system-level and had much higher permissions than software developed by mobile phone manufacturers. Secondly, there was a catch behind this seemingly simple QR code. The Referral Program used P2P technology. It was impossible to stop users from updating by blocking IPs and website addresses. Even if the phone was not connected to the Internet, it could still transfer the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the phone to a new phone through WiFi hotspots. Although the update this time was very small, Li Chengqian had put a lot of thought into this and had adopted many new technologies. After Li Chengqian clicked on ¡®update¡¯, two new icons appeared on the phone¡¯s desktop, the Referral Program icon and the Divine Dragon App Store icon. After clicking on the Referral Program, a QR code appeared. Other users could download the Divine Dragon Optimization App by scanning the QR code. Beneath the QR code were buttons that enabled sharing to QQ, WeChat friends, Moments and so on. He clicked to share it on his WeChat Moments, and the page turned to WeChat. The writeup of the QR code and the Divine Dragon Optimization App was pre-written. He only needed to click the ¡®post¡¯ button to share the Divine Dragon Optimization App. All the methods of sharing were especially convenient. ¡°Go ahead and remove the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app stores. Let¡¯s see what you can do to stop us now.¡± Li Chengqian was full of confidence. When he opened his WeChat Moments just now, he had already seen Zhao Peng post the QR code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Li Chengqian also casually posted the QR code. ¡°Not only do I want to break the boycott, I also want to counterattack¡­ and take down all of your private territories!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. The removal of the Divine Dragon Optimization App from the app store made him realize many things. According to Li Chengqian¡¯s original plan, after the Divine Dragon Optimization App was released, it would definitely attract the attention of internet and mobile phone manufacturers. He would then seize the opportunity to collaborate with the large manufacturers to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App, allowing domestic mobile phone operating systems to surpass Android. This will in turn give the domestic mobile phone manufacturers greater competitiveness overseas. This was an ideal that would benefit everyone. However, Li Chengqian came crashing back to reality the moment the Divine Dragon Optimization App was launched. Ideal and reality were always two different things. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was very advanced, but the Divine Dragon Software Company was a start-up company. Whether it was in the internet industry or the mobile phone industry, it had no say. Without a say, no one would listen to him. Then how could he get a say? The simplest way to make others listen to you was to be on the offensive, to crush the other party to the ground! Strength! It was the foundation of everything. Strength that other companies had no choice but to sit up and pay attention to. As long as the Divine Dragon Optimization App achieved tens of millions of installations, no company could ignore Li Chengqian¡¯s words. ¡°March 26, 2047, 12:23 PM, IP: 23.45.6 **User reverse engineering the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡­¡± ¡°March 26, 2047, 12:23 PM, IP: 23.45.6 **User reverse engineering the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡­¡± In Li Chengqian¡¯s email on his phone, notifications kept appearing. Ever since the Divine Dragon Optimization App came online, Li Chengqian had already received hundreds of such messages that were like cracking the app. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t take it seriously at all. He had used the quantum encryption technology he had developed for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It was impossible to reverse engineer it for the time being. Through sharing IPs, the top three Internet hooligans contributed the most IPs, followed by the top four mobile phone manufacturers. ¡°On the one hand, they send people over hypocritically requesting a meeting. On the other hand, they are frantically trying to get the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°There are also hackers constantly trying to break into the internal network of Divine Dragon Software Company and trying to steal the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± In addition to reverse engineering, Divine Dragon Software Company had been constantly attacked by hackers these few days. Li Chengqian was extremely annoyed. ¡°I¡¯ll let you give it a good try! Let¡¯s see if your methods are useful!¡± ¡°When you¡¯re done, it¡¯s my turn.¡± ¡­ Meanwhile Zhao Na was shocked a second time upon seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s reply. Li Chengqian was actually rejecting the acquisition without hesitation! 3 billion yuan! He was rejecting it just like that? What courage he has! Then, Zhao Na saw Li Chengqian defending her. ¡°Also, since the other companies looked down on you and refused to tell you their intentions, just inform them that we wouldn¡¯t be collaborating with them for the time being, and ask them to leave.¡± Zhao Na felt that Li Chengqian was standing up for her, supporting her, and protecting her. She felt a fuzzy warmth in her heart. The feeling of being valued and cared for almost made her cry. This kind of unconditional defense gave her a huge sense of belonging. She had thought that such emotional words would attract criticism. ¡°This won¡¯t do. If we offend these companies just because he was standing up for me, it won¡¯t be good for the future development of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± After more than ten minutes, Zhao Na got her emotions under control and decided to do something. She picked up the phone and called Huawei and Heyme. ¡°President Wei, President Wang¡­¡± Chapter 91 - 91 Response and Reaction 91 Response and Reaction ¡°Alright, I understand. Please tell your boss that the door will always be open for him,¡± Wei Dajin replied with a frown after receiving Zhao Na¡¯s call. ¡°Also, if you¡¯re not satisfied with the terms offered by Huawei, please state your terms. I¡¯ll inform the company and let them consider.¡± Wei Dajin maintained his professionalism. His tone didn¡¯t change at all although he was unhappy about being rejected. Right on the heels of that, Zhao Na and Wang Qian got on the line. ¡°Director Zhao, Heyme Corporation is sincere about this. Please consider carefully. If you¡¯re not satisfied with our terms, please state so directly.¡± Heyme Corporation had the lowest hardware profit margin. The margin on a 1,000 yuan entry-level phone was only 50 yuan. If Heyme could obtain the exclusive rights to use the Divine Dragon Optimization App, a phone¡¯s performance on the same hardware would be doubled. Although the price of the phone could not be doubled, increasing it from 1,000 yuan to 1,500 yuan wasn¡¯t an issue. Moreover, after the price increased to 1,500 yuan, its performance could even crush other manufacturers¡¯ 2,000 yuan phones. Before they came, the senior management of Heyme Corporation convened a special meeting. They were unanimous that no matter what method they used or what price they paid, they had to get the Divine Dragon Optimization App! Moreover, five million Heyme entry-level models had already been produced in the factory this year. The plan was to release it on April 1st. If the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular in the market, everyone¡¯s old phones would have fast processing speed and would function very well. Their performance would even surpass their newly released phones. Who would then buy the five million phones that had already been produced? Once they obtained the exclusive rights to the Divine Dragon Optimization App, they would install it on these five million phones. This batch of phones would offer mid-level performance at the entry-level price, they would definitely become the bestseller of the year. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Wang. Our boss has no plans to sell the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Zhao Na¡¯s tone was firm. After Wang Qian thought for a while, he could only make a second proposal. Huawei and Heyme proposed acquiring the Divine Dragon Software Company as this was the cheapest solution. ¡°Director Zhao, have you considered other methods of collaboration? The Divine Dragon Optimization App can be licensed exclusively to Heyme phones. We are willing to buy the permanent right to use the Divine Dragon Optimization App at 18 yuan per phone.¡± ¡°Heyme sold 200 million Android devices in 2046, which was last year.¡± ¡°If the Divine Dragon Optimization App was installed on all the devices, the annual software license fee will hit 3.6 billion yuan!¡± Heyme Corporation had done its sums. After monopolizing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, their phones would definitely be positioned at a higher level. The prices would increase, and the number of devices sold would definitely decrease. Moreover, while using the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the software department of Heyme Corporation would also think of ways to reverse engineer the App. As long as they obtained the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it would not be hard for Heyme Corporation to imitate it. As long as it was not a direct copy, they wouldn¡¯t breach any patent laws. More often than not, the most critical part of software function implementation was the original thought process. As long as one understood the method, there were countless ways to achieve the same functions. ¡°President Wang, I¡¯ll report your proposal to my boss. I¡¯ll inform you immediately if there¡¯s any news,¡± Zhao Na replied calmly. In the morning, she was indeed shocked by the price Heyme offered. Now that she was more prepared, she wouldn¡¯t be that shaken even if the price was doubled. After ending the call with Wang Qian, Zhao Na called all the companies that left that contact details. This was an unpleasant process. The companies all expressed their displeasure despite all the explanation she gave. Especially Zhang Qinglan from OPPO. After he received Zhao Na¡¯s call, he blew his top. That was because OPPO had already prepared four million phones for the Spring launch. They were also focused on the entry-level models. Just like Heyme, the launch would be held on April 1st. If the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular, it would be difficult to sell these four million phones. Although they were all entry-level phones, the average cost was no less than 1,500 yuan each. The cost of four million phones was more than six billion yuan! He offered 100 million yuan to test the waters with Li Chengqian. Now that he didn¡¯t even manage to meet Li Chengqian in person, how was he going to answer to the board of directors when he went back? Zhang Qinglan¡¯s tone immediately changed. ¡°Director Zhao, please let me meet your boss no matter what.¡± ¡°President Zhang, I¡¯m sorry. Our boss is very busy and can¡¯t meet you for the time being.¡± When Zhao Na heard Zhang Qinglan¡¯s tone, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly even though her tone remained unchanged. Women are vindictive creatures. She remembered everything Zhang Qinglan said in the morning and how he looked down on her. ¡­ Baidu Corporation, Internet Services Department. President Qian Wenxin sneered after he had carefully read the message sent by the CEO. ¡°This boss of Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian, simply doesn¡¯t know what is good for him. The Executive Vice President of Baidu had gone to see him personally and he didn¡¯t even bother to meet him.¡± ¡°How can a small company be so arrogant?¡± ¡°Let me put you back in your place, so you know how to behave in the future!¡± Qian Wenxin was the head of Baidu Internet Services Department and one of the co-founders of Baidu Corporation. He had another identity, he was the famous hacker on the dark web, Millennium J! Qian Wenxin put his phone back on the desk and quickly got down to work. After a few simple commands were entered into the computer, a progress bar appeared on the computer screen. ¡°We went to make an offer for your software but you¡¯re arrogant and conceited. It¡¯s fine if you weren¡¯t hospitable to us, but you didn¡¯t even meet us once.¡± ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll get this software myself!¡± ¡­ In the software support department of the Tencent Corporation, the usage of the rented supercomputers has reached 100%. At this moment, the supercomputer was running a software developed internally by the Tencent Corporation, which was specially used for reverse engineering. This software was extremely advanced. It could crack almost any software on the market and obtain the source code of the software. In the middle of the big screen in the software support department was the icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Under the icon, there was a progress bar. At this moment, the progress bar was already midway. In the conference room where the big screen was located, Dr. Li Lin, who had returned from overseas, reported the situation to the CEO confidently. ¡°CEO, in at most six hours, we will crack the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll get the source code once we crack it.¡± ¡°We want to learn from the source code. With the help of the ideas in the source code, we will develop more advanced new projects,¡± Dr. Li Lin said with a smile. ¡°Li Chengqian is really a genius. I can¡¯t wait to see how the Divine Dragon Optimization App will double Android¡¯s efficiency.¡± ¡°This is a genius idea.¡± ¡°However, this idea will soon belong to the Tencent Corporation.¡± Li Lin was very surprised by Li Chengqian¡¯s talent. But that was all. Because every software he cracked was developed by a genius. Every software was a genius¡¯ creativity. After these geniuses¡¯ proudest works were cracked and replicated, they would disappear into oblivion. In the end, they would basically disappear into the masses and become inconspicuous existences. ¡°President, you¡¯ll be scolded by the netizens again this time,¡± Li Lin said jokingly. ¡°The internet has no memory.¡± The CEO smiled indifferently. Every time he copied an idea, he would be the target of insults, but it wouldn¡¯t be long before he would be forgotten by netizens. And each time he copied an idea, he would make a lot of profit for the company. ¡°This time, I had wanted to obtain the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App through legitimate means. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian from Divine Dragon Software Company didn¡¯t appreciate it and didn¡¯t even want to meet our company representative.¡± ¡°A little arrogant, too much.¡± ¡°This is too much, they have to pay the price for this.¡± Alibaba and Huawei also had a large number of software and hardware engineers analyzing the operating method of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Unlike other companies, these two companies had invested a large amount of money to develop their own virtual machines. They are very familiar with how virtual machines work. They didn¡¯t need to see the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App at all. All they needed to do was to analyze the way the App increased operating efficiency, and they would be able to do the same within a short period of time. Chapter 92 - 92 Invasion and Counterattack 92 Invasion and Counterattack Not long after the afternoon class ended, many students secretly took out their phones. When they opened their social media apps, they were immediately flooded by many posts on the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Why are all the posts on WeChat Moments recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App?¡± ¡°Why are there people recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App in every QQ group?¡± ¡°I saw that the teachers are all posting on their Moments to recommend the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They said that it¡¯s especially useful. After installing it, their phones worked faster and were no longer laggy.¡± ¡°Everyone, hurry up and install the Divine Dragon Optimization App. My phone used to die on me when I played the League of Legends. I was scolded by my team members all the time. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, I won MVP three times in a row. Damn it, after installing the App, I finally understood that I¡¯m not a lousy player, but my phone is a lousy phone!¡± Some students who had installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App realized that their phone¡¯s performance had improved and started to actively promote it to their friends. After class, Zhao Peng introduced the App to his classmates one by one. However, one of the students insisted on not installing it. ¡°This is Heyme¡¯s flagship phone last year, I paid more than 4,000 yuan for it. Its performance is very good. It has a score of 830,000 points on AnTuTu. There¡¯s no need to install any Divine Dragon Optimization App to play all the games smoothly. Have you heard of Battlegrounds? Have you heard of Genshin? They can all be played smoothly on my phone.¡± Zhao Peng took out his old phone and opened the performance test interface. The score of 640,000 points appeared. ¡°The phone from four years ago is now a good quality second-hand phone. Look at this performance score, 640,000 points. Do you know the score of this phone before the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App? 300,000 points!¡± ¡°My phone¡¯s performance is not bad. I don¡¯t need to install it for the time being.¡± This student was still unmoved. Although 640,000 points was not bad, it was still inferior to 830,000 points. ¡°Zhao Peng, you¡¯re simply amazing. My phone originally had a performance score of 700,000 points. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, guess how many points it scored now? 1.38 million points! It is ranked first in AnTuTu! Isn¡¯t that impressive, awesome!¡± A classmate displayed the screen of his phone excitedly and specially pointed at the ranking displayed on the phone. First place! On the other hand, the phone that came in second had 1.06 million points! There was a difference of 220,000 points! When he showed it to his classmates, he used the shortcut ¡®screenshot and post¡¯ function provided by the Divine Dragon Optimization App to post the performance score of his phone to all the QQ groups and on his WeChat Moments. There was a QR code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App on the screenshot. There was also a line of words. ¡°Scan the QR code. Your phone¡¯s performance will immediately double.¡± ¡°Zhao Peng, let me scan the QR code.¡± After seeing this score, the students who were originally unmoved immediately changed their minds. They muttered in their hearts, ¡°My phone could originally score 830,000 points. According to the calculations, after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the score could double up to 1.66 million points. When I post it on my Moments, countless people will definitely be envious.¡± This was a viral way of spreading. When everyone in your circle of friends is using the same software, there is a 90% chance that you will download the software, whether you need it or not. In just an hour, 90% of the students and teachers of Tianyi High School had installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After discovering that the phone¡¯s performance had improved greatly and the issue of lagging had disappeared, many people spontaneously posted and shared the QR code, because they wanted to enjoy free usage and also because they wanted to recommend a good product. Tianyi City was a small city with a population of about 300,000. With Tianyi High School as the starting point, the Divine Dragon Optimization App swept through this small city like a storm through social media. By night time, more than 10,000 people had installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡­ After Li Chengqian finished his evening self-study, he went straight to Divine Dragon Software Company. Zhao Na was still waiting for him at the company. ¡°¡­Boss, this is what Huawei said, and that is what Heyme said.¡± ¡°President Zhang of OPPO was very agitated. He said that you must meet him.¡± Seeing that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say anything, Zhao Na changed the topic to the sudden increase in installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°After the app update at noon today, the number of installations suddenly began to increase. Look at the big screen.¡± Zhao Na pointed at the big screen. There was a lot of data and diagrams on the screen. ¡°The number of installations has increased from 1,574 to 28,754! It has increased by about 27,000!¡± ¡°As time passed, the number of installations increased every hour.¡± There were only 120 installations between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. In the hour between 8p.m. and 9p.m., there were 8,900 installations. ¡°If this trend continues, it will only take a week for the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App to reach a million. The number of installations will hit ten million within a month.¡± Zhao Na¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. Many companies couldn¡¯t achieve ten million units even after a few years. At this moment, the big screen suddenly started blinking. Lines of green characters flashed on the screen, covering the original content. In the middle of the screen was a huge red exclamation mark. ¡°Attention, the internal network is being hacked¡­¡± ¡°The server content is being forcefully downloaded by a remote computer¡­¡± ¡°Server camouflage program initiated. The intruder is directed to the virtual server.¡± ¡°The anti-tracking program, the system control program, the website hijacking program, and the network control program are directed into the virtual server.¡± After the anti-tracking program was downloaded, it could immediately lock onto the location of the other party¡¯s computer. After the system Control program had been downloaded, it could immediately obtain the highest level control over the other party¡¯s computer. The website hijacking program would automatically attack the other party¡¯s website. It would hang a string of links on the most important part of the other party¡¯s website and point to the download website of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The aim is to make the other party¡¯s website a propaganda tool for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The network control program would gain access to all the equipment, cameras, microphones, and other facilities in the other party¡¯s network. At the same time, it could control the other party¡¯s network. ¡°Virtual server data is being downloaded by a remote computer¡­ 1%¡­ 2%¡­¡± Zhao Na looked at the content displayed on the screen and was dumbfounded. ¡°Boss, someone is hacking into our company¡¯s system. Let¡¯s call the police.¡± Li Chengqian, who was originally calm, immediately smiled when he saw the notification on the big screen. Ever since the Divine Dragon Optimization App was taken off the shelves, he had a feeling that his company would definitely be hacked. There would definitely be some shameless people who would try to steal the Divine Dragon Optimization App he developed through some technical methods. Therefore, he had long been prepared for this attack. He had developed a series of counterattack methods. He wanted all the hackers to suffer the most severe punishment. These counterattack methods were all system-level applications. He had already secretly tried the attack effects of a few tools. With these newly developed tools, the entire internet was like his playground. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re waiting for their attack!¡± Li Chengqian looked at the progress bar on the big screen with immense confidence. When the progress bar reached 100%, a notification appeared on the screen again. The anti-tracking program has been successfully initiated. The system control program has been successfully activated. The website hijacking procedure has been successfully initiated. The network control program has been successfully activated. Downloading the other party¡¯s server data. Right on the heels of that, a video screen appeared on the big screen. Qian Wenxin appeared on the big screen with a smug expression. Then, his voice came from the computer. ¡°There¡¯s something else. It actually took me so long to hack into their company¡¯s server.¡± ¡°The data download has reached 13%¡­ The source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App will be mine soon.¡± Qian Wenxin¡¯s face was beaming with pride. Chapter 93 - 93 Counter Invasion 93 Counter Invasion ¡°Zhao Na, you just told me that it will take a week for our Divine Dragon Optimization App to hit one million installations, and a month to hit ten million installations, right?¡± Li Chengqian looked at the rising percentage on the screen and smiled. ¡°Yes, Boss, but I don¡¯t think now is the time to discuss this problem. The most important thing we should do now is to call the police!¡± Zhao Na said seriously. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry to call the police! We would be wasting God¡¯s gift if we don¡¯t seize such a good opportunity,now.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. ¡°Zhao Na, the installation of our Divine Dragon Optimization App can definitely reach 10 million in three days!¡± Looking at the big screen, the percentage had already reached 60%. Moreover, the preset commands in the counterattack software had begun to take effect. The smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face became even brighter. ¡°Boss, we have to respect the objective law of development, although I know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App is very powerful, it¡¯s inevitable that we will hit 10 million installations.¡± ¡°But it is impossible for the installation volume to hit 10 million within a week, the time is too short.¡± Zhao Na shook her head. She felt that Li Chengqian was being too optimistic. ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see! Why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± Li Chengqian was extremely confident. ¡°Alright, if the installation volume doesn¡¯t reach 10 million in three days, you¡¯ll have to give me a pay raise¡­¡± Zhao Na took advantage of the situation and brought up the pay raise again. When she sent a message to Li Chengqian regarding the pay raise, he ignored her request, like all bosses do. ¡°What if it does?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡­ Over at Baidu Corporation, Qian Wenxin had a smug smile on his face. He raised a cup of green tea and gently blew the steam away. The progress bar on the computer screen in front of him kept flashing. He was downloading data from the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company. The download progress had reached 89%. ¡°Wenxin, your technology is getting better and better. You actually got the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App so easily.¡± At this moment, the CEO of Baidu Corporation, He Hongyan, was standing behind Qian Wenxin. He was meticulously groomed in a white shirt and his eyes were fixed on the progress bar on the computer. ¡°Hongyan, this Li Chengqian solved the Android system¡¯s lag problem. He¡¯s a talent.¡± ¡°You have to be careful. Don¡¯t let him discover our IP address and track us.¡± He Hongyan reminded worriedly. ¡°Hongyan, among the hackers in the country, I¡¯m ranked in the top 10 in terms of internet technology. I didn¡¯t get called Millennium J for nothing. There are very few people in this world who can track me through my IP.¡± Qian Wenxin was extremely confident and his face was filled with pride. Even the number one hacker on the dark web, Hades, couldn¡¯t track him. Except for a few areas he didn¡¯t dare touch, the rest of the internet world was basically his playground. It was also because of his powerful technical strength that Baidu Corporation had been overwhelmingly successful in their search engine products. In just a few years, Baidu had become one of the domestic internet giants. ¡°The reputation of Millennium J precedes you. Of course I believe you,¡± He Hongyan said with a smile. The two of them were relaxed while they bantered. The Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯s source code was in the bag. Soon, the data download progress bar on Qian Wenxin¡¯s computer screen reached 99%. Qian Wenxin and He Hongyan became even more cocky. ¡°Hongyan, are you very curious about how Li Chengqian doubled the efficiency of the Android system?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll find out soon!¡± Just as Qian Wenxin finished his sentence, the progress bar hit 100%. ¡°Come, come, come. Let¡¯s take a look at the source code. To be honest, I¡¯m quite curious about the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Qian Wenxin entered the password many times. After verifying with face ID and fingerprints, he entered a series of characters. Then, a folder hidden on the internet was opened by Qian Wenxin. The oldest document in this folder was from more than 10 years ago. The most recent document was named the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Wenxin, I¡¯ve told you many times that we must delete all these documents and destroy them completely. Why haven¡¯t you deleted them?¡± He Hongyan said unhappily when he saw the densely packed documents in the folder. Every document was named after the company. ¡°Hongyan, don¡¯t be nervous. This folder requires a 32-bit password, a face ID, and a fingerprint triple verification. After that, you need to enter the correct Internet address to open it. It¡¯s very safe.¡± Every folder here contained the data of a company. They were all Qian Wenxin¡¯s spoils of war. He naturally couldn¡¯t bear to delete them. Moreover, with these things in hand, his position in Baidu Corporation would be secure. If he didn¡¯t have these things in his hands, he might have been booted out of the corporation¡¯s senior management team. In actual fact, he opened this folder in front of He Hongyan on purpose. ¡°Wenxin, this data must be destroyed. If it is leaked or discovered by the police, you will be directly responsible, and I will be jointly responsible. Neither of us will be able to escape. The best way is to destroy them once and for all so that there will be no more hidden dangers!¡± He Hongyan frowned and said firmly. ¡°Hongyan, don¡¯t worry. This data will never be leaked.¡± After Qian Wenxin said this, his eyes were filled with excitement. He moved the mouse and clicked on the Divine Dragon Software Company. He Hongyan was not satisfied with Qian Wenxin¡¯s reply, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, one thing was certain. It was impossible for He Hongyan to delete these files for the time being. Therefore, when Qian Wenxin was about to open the data file of the Divine Dragon Software Company, he also looked over. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App is very crucial. With this App, Baidu Corporation will be on par with Google or even surpass Google to become one of the greatest companies on the internet.¡± The folder was clicked under their eager anticipation and smug gazes. However, the folder did not open. A page popped up instead. Name: Qian Wenxin Identity: Founder of Baidu Corporation, Head of the Internet Services Department Dark Web Nickname: Millennium J Key Achievements: Under the arrangement of CEO He Hongyan, he hacked into 763 companies to obtain source codes and related information. Right on the heels of that, through chat software, text messages, emails, and other methods, He Hongyan arranged for Qian Wenxin to steal screenshots of information from other companies¡¯ source codes and broadcast them on Qian Wenxin¡¯s computer. When he saw the information on the computer screen, Qian Wenxin panicked. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly operated the computer and instinctively wanted to turn off the information displayed. Unfortunately, the core level of the computer was already controlled by Li Chengqian. Qian Wenxin couldn¡¯t do anything to the computer at all. Right on the heels of that, he hurriedly reached out to pull out the cable! However, the screenshots of the chat on the computer did not disappear. He still couldn¡¯t regain control of his computer. Qian Wenxin had no choice but to unplug the computer. The computer screen finally went black. ¡°Qian Wenxin, you actually took a screenshot of the messages I sent you all these years. Are you still keeping them? What are you trying to do?¡± He Hongyan¡¯s voice trembled with outrage. The screenshots that had just been broadcasted on the screen were some of the chat records between him and Qian Wenxin 10 years ago. He really didn¡¯t expect Qian Wenxin to keep them. ¡°Hongyan, now is not the time to talk about this. A hacker has hacked into our internal network. The most important thing now is to protect our data.¡± ¡°These data must not be leaked. Otherwise, the two of us will really be finished.¡± Qian Wenxin was extremely embarrassed and was panicking by now. Just then, the wall mounted television in the office was suddenly turned on. A line of text was displayed on the television screen. At the same time, an electronically synthesized cold male voice sounded. ¡°President He, President Qian¡­ It turns out that you¡¯ve actually accomplished so many feats in the past few years and stolen so much company data. It¡¯s really an eye-opener for me.¡± ¡°President Qian, you¡¯ve even saved a screenshot of your chat with President He 13 years ago. You¡¯re really scheming!¡± He Hongyan and Qian Wenxin were already extremely panicked. They wanted to go out and find a computer to regain control of the company¡¯s network and chase the hackers away. The sudden voice almost scared them to death. ¡°Who are you? What do you want?! Do you know that hacking into a company¡¯s internal network is illegal?!¡± He Hongyan was covered in cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down and turned to look at the television. Qian Wenxin was so frightened by the cold voice that his body trembled. Cold sweat covered his forehead and he almost collapsed to the ground. ¡°Haha, when these words come out of your mouths, it really makes me want to laugh!¡± A cold laugh sounded, and the two of them felt their bodies go numb. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing much. I see you two so flustered, trying to look for another computer, and I just want to tell you that there¡¯s no need for all this. Your data is already on my server.¡± As the voice sounded, a video began to play quickly on the television. This video was none other than a video of Qian Wenxin and He Hongyan drinking tea and chatting while hacking into Divine Dragon Software Company. When He Hongyan and Qian Wenxin saw the video playing on the television and heard their voices, their faces turned ashen and their jaws dropped. If this video was leaked to the internet, Baidu Corporation¡¯s reputation would be completely ruined. If it was sent to the relevant government authorities, He Hongyan and Qian Wenxin would be in dire straits. They might even go to jail! Although He Hongyan was flustered, his judgment was still there. His mind raced as he thought of a possibility. ¡°You¡¯re Li Chengqian from Divine Dragon Software Company, aren¡¯t you?¡± The video of him and Qian Wenbin was still playing on the television. There was no response. He Hongyan¡¯s face looked horrible. He glanced at Qian Wenxin coldly and conceded defeat. ¡°Li Chengqian, name a price. Delete the surveillance video and destroy the data stolen from our company!¡± In reality, although he seemed to be giving in, he was actually retreating in order to advance. As long as Li Chengqian dared to ask for money, this matter would be easy to handle. As long as Li Chengqian accepted the money into his account, he would have a hold on Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian should find out what constituted extortion! By that time, with something on him, he would not be in such a passive position. Chapter 94 - 94 Regret 94 Regret After waiting for a full 10 minutes, the strange electronic voice did not come again. He Hongyan was disappointed but also relieved at the same time. He Hongyan picked up the television remote control and tried to turn off the surveillance video that was constantly playing. But the remote control didn¡¯t work either. However, that strange electronic voice never came again. At this moment, He Hongyan¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He nervously took out his phone and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a call from his secretary. ¡°Qian Wenxin, did that hacker leave just now?¡± He Hongyan glanced at Qian Wenxin nervously. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°That hacker¡¯s skills were godlike.¡± ¡°To be able to surreptitiously control my specially designed computer, this person can easily crush me, at least in terms of online technology and operating systems,¡± Qian Wenxin said with a bitter smile. ¡°In the face of such a first-rate hacker, resistance is futile. It¡¯s just like other small companies when faced with us, Baidu.¡± ¡°I had thought that the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s Li Chengqian was innocent and harmless. I really didn¡¯t expect him to be so formidable.¡± Although the electronically synthesized voice had never admitted its identity, Qian Wenxin and He Hongyan were no fools. He had just hacked into the server of Divine Dragon Software Company and downloaded the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App, and right after that, he was immediately hacked. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Although there was no proof, the two of them knew very well that there was a 90% chance that this counter-invasion was done by Li Chengqian of the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Qian Wenxin, you have to take responsibility for what happened today!¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t left these things behind, we wouldn¡¯t have fallen into such a passive state.¡± ¡°It was you who kept these files when they should have been destroyed long ago, and now they have fallen into the hands of the hackers.¡± ¡°I demand that you immediately destroy all the previous data!¡± He Hongyan ended the call with his secretary, and his expression became extremely cold. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do this immediately after the network returns to normal.¡± ¡°Right now, the most important thing is to contact the other party as soon as possible and then retrieve the files and destroy them. This is more important than anything else.¡± Qian Wenxin¡¯s face was pale. In the past, he felt that these documents and chat records were foolproof. They were his ammunition to protect his interests. Now that the data had been taken away, he realized that these data were indeed ammunition, but they were double-edged swords. If he was not careful, he would lose his life. Qian Wenxin was completely flustered. He regretted hacking into the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company. He Hongyan glanced at Qian Wenxin coldly and answered his secretary¡¯s call again. ¡°President He, something major has happened!¡± The secretary¡¯s voice was filled with panic. ¡°What is it?¡± He Hongyan¡¯s heart skipped a beat as a bad premonition arose in his heart. ¡°President He, the various departments just reported that they have lost control of the company¡¯s server.¡± ¡°Do you think we should call the police immediately?¡± When He Hongyan heard the secretary¡¯s report, he knew without thinking that the hacker must have taken away the server rights of Baidu Corporation. ¡°Why are you panicking?!¡± He Hongyan felt guilty when he heard the word ¡®police¡¯. If he called the police and angered the hackers, he might end up being the one at the police station first. ¡°I was the one who asked Qian Wenxin to take back control of the company¡¯s server.¡± ¡°We¡¯re experimenting with the company¡¯s new technology. Why should you call the police?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll temporarily take back the authority of the company¡¯s server. Let the people from the various departments do what they need to do. When the authority is delegated again, inform them.¡± He Hongyan¡¯s expression was extremely flustered. He wanted to tear the hacker into pieces, however he had no choice but to cover up for the hacker, for fear of antagonizing him. ¡°Okay, President He.¡± ¡°Actually, there¡¯s one more thing I need to report to you. After we lost control of the server, our webpage, client, and our series of products all recommended a mobile software called the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡­¡± ¡°President He, based on what you said just now, is it also your intention to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App?¡± When He Hongyan heard this, the veins on his face bulged out and his eyes were filled with rage. He was initially only 90% sure that the hacker was Li Chengqian. After hearing about this matter, he was 100% sure that the hacker was none other than Li Chengqian of the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°President He? Can you hear me?¡± The secretary didn¡¯t hear He Hongyan¡¯s response. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the Divine Dragon Optimization App! I¡¯ll handle it! That¡¯s all!¡± He Hongyan quickly hung up the phone. His eyes were red and he was fuming. He Hongyan could tolerate Li Chengqian controlling all the servers in Baidu Corporation. He couldn¡¯t tolerate Li Chengqian controlling all the platforms of Baidu to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App! However, He Hongyan had to endure it! ¡°This is too much. Li Chengqian is too much!¡± He Hongyan felt extremely aggrieved and humiliated. ¡°Does he think he can do anything just because he¡¯s ahead in terms of technology?!¡± After He Hongyan ranted, his originally coiffed hair became messy, and his crisp white shirt became wrinkled. He called Qian Wenxin to the corridor, where there were no surveillance cameras or other electronic products. His eyes were steely cold as he made arrangements. ¡°Qian Wenxin, go and find any clues on the server. As long as you can find evidence of Li Chengqian hacking into our company, I won¡¯t pursue the matter of you keeping the chat records. I¡¯ll put that behind us.¡± ¡°If you can find evidence on Li Chengqian, we still have a future. If you can¡¯t find evidence, we¡¯re in big trouble this time!¡± He Hongyan had also thought of calling the police, but if he found no evidence, it was useless to call the police. Moreover, calling the police would enrage Li Chengqian, the consequences would be¡­ dire! ¡°Until we find evidence, we can¡¯t tell anyone about Li Chengqian¡¯s invasion.¡± ¡°Remember, you took back the authority of the company¡¯s server. I was also the one who arranged for the promotion of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. At the moment, everything is normal in the company. When I¡¯m not in the company, you have to answer anyone who asks you this.¡± He Hongyan said through gritted teeth. He wished he could murder Li Chengqian, but he had no choice but to cover up for him. This feeling made him extremely aggrieved. This was the first time he had felt so aggrieved since he founded Baidu. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Hongyan, you¡¯re not staying in the company? Where are you going?¡± Qian Wenxin asked in confusion. Under such circumstances, the best thing to do was for He Hongyan to stay in the company. ¡°To Tianyi City, Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°To beg him to let us off! Are you satisfied? Do you understand?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. If you hadn¡¯t kept the data, this wouldn¡¯t have happened!¡± He Hongyan¡¯s voice was low as he roared at Qian Wenxin. His tone was especially unpleasant. His eyes were shooting daggers at Qian Wenxin. The more he thought about it, the more hatred he felt. If Qian Wenxin hadn¡¯t left anything behind, he would not have been so passive. ¡°You can¡¯t just blame me for this. You were the one who sent a message saying that Divine Dragon Software was too full of themselves and you wanted me to hack into the Divine Dragon Software Company to obtain the course code of their App!¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t asked me to hack into Divine Dragon Software, the rest of the horrible events wouldn¡¯t have happened. I can¡¯t be the only one to take all the blame.¡± Qian Wenxin had been reprimanded all this time, and he was also furious. There was annoyance on his face as he retorted. He Hongyan¡¯s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. In fact, he was also extremely regretful in his heart. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have negotiated with Divine Dragon Software Company openly!¡± ¡­ ¡°Zhao Na, you said earlier that as long as the number of installations for the Divine Dragon Optimization App hits 10 million in three days, you will agree to whatever I ask you to do?¡± Li Chengqian cleaned up all traces of the invasion of Baidu and asked Zhao Na with a smile. Zhao Na had a confident smile on her face. She looked at Li Chengqian charmingly. ¡°Boss, what do you have in mind?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No matter what you have in mind, you won¡¯t be able to do it.¡± ¡°The only thing you can do is to give me a raise.¡± Chapter 95 - 95 Baidus Recommendation, Now Trending 95 Baidu¡¯s Recommendation, Now Trending Zhang Tiezhu was chatting with his girlfriend. The input method he used on his phone was the Baidu input method. There were more than 100 million mobile phones installed. Just as he was typing, a majestic golden dragon floated from the left to the right of the screen, just above the input method. The golden dragon looked majestic and imposing. The scene was exquisite. It looked like a work of art and was stunning. ¡°This divine dragon looks so beautiful!¡± Zhang Tiezhu was very surprised and couldn¡¯t help but point at the golden dragon. Immediately, a new page popped up. There was a golden line on the page. ¡°Wholeheartedly recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After installing it, your phone¡¯s performance will immediately double.¡± After seeing this advertisement, Zhang Tiezhu had many guesses. ¡°Baidu Corporation actually started promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± ¡°Could it be that Baidu has already acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App? Otherwise, why would Baidu put in so much effort to promote the App?¡± A few days ago, the app stores of various mobile phone manufacturers removed the App and even issued security warnings on it. This scene was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, some fans in Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream also started reacting. ¡°F*ck, look what I found.¡± After the user Little Pudding exclaimed in the group, he posted screenshots in the group. There was a majestic dragon swimming above the Baidu input method. On the webpage, the words ¡®Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯ had been pre-set in the search bar. Above Baidu¡¯s logo was a line of eye-catching text. It was an introduction to the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The words ¡®Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯ were even more eye-catching than the search bar. In the Baidu search app, a majestic, lifelike golden dragon swam around the screen. Although its presence didn¡¯t affect the usage of the app, it was extremely eye-catching. People couldn¡¯t help clicking on this lifelike divine dragon. ¡°Do you think Baidu has acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App? Baidu¡¯s promotion of the App is simply unprecedented.¡± ¡°With Baidu¡¯s influence, if they promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App at this level, it might only take a day for the App to exceed ten million downloads!¡± Someone commented after seeing the photo Little Pudding posted in the group. ¡°I just downloaded every Baidu app and tried them out.¡± ¡°Every Baidu app is promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the most eye-catching location of the app.¡± ¡°Basically, we can confirm that the Divine Dragon Optimization App has been acquired by Baidu.¡± ¡°Everyone, quickly top up your account and purchase usage credits for the App! Once Baidu acquires the App, they will raise the fees, and we will be on the losing end! It¡¯s only 18 yuan a year now!¡± Someone in the group suddenly raised this point. ¡°F*ck, why didn¡¯t I think of that! I¡¯ll buy a three-year subscription first!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I have to top up immediately! I¡¯ve paid for a five year subscription. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is tied to my account, so I won¡¯t be affected even if I changed phones.¡± Immediately, someone posted a screenshot of the App after topping up. ¡°Three years!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve paid for two years.¡± Early the next morning, because of Baidu¡¯s strong recommendation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it became a trending topic on Weibo. Eighth. Divine Dragon Optimization App Ninth: The Reason behind Baidu¡¯s Intense Promotion of the Divine Dragon Optimization App Tenth: Relationship between Baidu and Divine Dragon Twenty-fifth: Divine Dragon Software Company ¡°Does anyone know what the Divine Dragon Optimization App is for? Baidu is promoting it like crazy.¡± ¡°An amazing tool. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is simply an amazing tool. You¡¯ll know when you install it. With the App, I can play League of Legends on my three-year-old, 800-yuan phone. Do you believe it?¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App is awesome. You will know it when you use it.¡± ¡°This is the best software released by Baidu Corporation, ever!¡± ¡°If your phone is an old phone, the Divine Dragon Optimization App can make your phone look brand new. If your phone is a new phone, the App can double the performance of your phone. You don¡¯t have to restart your phone and it can also maintain smooth functioning for a long time.¡± After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, one¡¯s handphone would start functioning very smoothly with no lag. One would naturally become a convert and a supporter, and would then be singing its praises on Weibo. Under the influence of its popularity on Weibo, most Weibo users in the country would come to hear of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Many people would then download and install the Divine Dragon Optimization App for a trial. Immediately, the netizens dug out the old news of how it was removed from the app stores and also the security risk warning that was issued. ¡°Shocking. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is a risky app. It was just taken down from all the app stores five days ago.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a hidden security risk in the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After installation, it might change the system file and would affect the phone¡¯s warranty.¡± After seeing these articles, many people who were tempted to download the Divine Dragon Optimization App immediately changed their minds. Many people¡¯s phones were still under warranty. Although they were not working smoothly, they could still be used. It wouldn¡¯t be worth affecting the warranty by installing the App. ¡°It¡¯s best to download and install the App after the warranty period is over.¡± More than half of the people decided against installing the App due to the security risk notification. ¡­ He Hongyan, the CEO of Baidu, was looking very distressed. He didn¡¯t leave the night before, instead, he planned to go to the Divine Dragon Software Company in Tianyi City to look for Li Chengqian today. He Hongyan and Qian Wenxin tried all means the entire night to regain control of the server, to no avail. At the same time, they had also engaged the assistance of several famous internet security experts, but there was nothing they could do either! As the Divine Dragon Optimization App had appeared all over his products, many people asked him through various channels if he had already acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App. He Hongyan only felt aggrieved, furious, and¡­ regretful! ¡°Qian Wenxin, keep trying to get people to help regain control. I¡¯ll go to Tianyi City to look for Li Chengqian.¡± Regardless of whether he could regain control of the server, He Hongyan had to go to Tianyi City and beg Li Chengqian to let him off. If he could regain control of the company¡¯s server, he would have more bargaining chips in the negotiation process and more confidence. Unfortunately, the difference in technology level was too great. ¡­ Meanwhile, over at the conference room of the Divine Dragon Software Company. In the middle of the big screen, the installation statistics of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was displayed in real time. In the conference room, Zhao Na looked at the rapidly rising numbers on the screen. And now, the installation statistics on the big screen have already reached 2.58 million! Moreover, the numbers were still rising. The number of installations was increasing by the thousands every minute. There were 350,000 paid users, with an average purchase period of 2.3 years per person. Current sales revenue was 14.49 million yuan! Although the number of paid users did not rise as quickly as the number of installed users, it was also rising and rising faster. When she first saw the various statistics on the big screen, she thought that there was a problem with the data. She even thought that she was hallucinating. When she confirmed that the statistics were real, her face was filled with disbelief. ¡°A new app, an unknown company, had 2.5 million installations in one night. This is legendary!¡± ¡°How on earth did Li Chengqian do it!¡± ¡°Last night, I made a bet with Li Chengqian. If the number of installations exceeds 10 million in three days¡­¡± Thinking of this, Zhao Na immediately panicked. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why the number of installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App suddenly went up by so much, this increase shouldn¡¯t last long. It shouldn¡¯t be possible to exceed 10 million installations in three days. Li Chengqian¡¯s Referral Program is very impressive. It can cause a viral spread.¡± ¡°However, many users downloaded and installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App to help others complete their missions. After a while, they will uninstall the App.¡± Zhao Na comforted herself. Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open. When the company¡¯s Xiaoli saw Zhao Na, he asked excitedly, ¡°Director Zhao, all of Baidu¡¯s apps are strongly recommending our company¡¯s Divine Dragon Optimization App. There is speculation that Baidu has already acquired our Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°Director Zhao, is this true? After Baidu acquires us, will they lay off employees?¡± Then, Xiaoli became very cautious. ¡°Wait, you said that all the Baidu software are recommending our Divine Dragon Optimization App?¡± Zhao Na¡¯s eyes widened. She immediately understood why the number of installations had risen so quickly. ¡°Director Zhao, don¡¯t you know? Ever since 10p.m. last night, every Baidu software recommended our Divine Dragon Optimization App! Today, our App is on trending on Weibo¡¯s search, and is ranked eighth.¡± Xiaoli had an expression that said, ¡°Cut out the act.¡± When Zhao Na heard this, she became more and more flustered. She really didn¡¯t know about this. After returning home the night before, she went straight to bed because she was dead tired. On the way to the office, she didn¡¯t take out her phone. Now that she heard what Xiaoli said, she quickly took out her phone and opened the trending topic on Weibo. Then, she saw that the Divine Dragon Optimization App had already reached seventh place, one place higher than what Xiaoli had said. She didn¡¯t understand the situation earlier, so she could still lie to herself that it was because Li Chengqian¡¯s Referral Program had brought so many installations, and that many people would uninstall the App soon. Now, she could only panic. ¡°I¡¯m in trouble¡­! I¡¯ve suffered a huge loss this time. My pay raise is gone, and my innocence is at stake.¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian walked into the meeting room with a calm expression. ¡°Morning, boss,¡± Xiaoli greeted him sweetly. When Zhao Na heard Xiaoli¡¯s greeting, she panicked and jumped up from her seat like a deer in the headlights. Chapter 96 - 96 Successfully Hacked On the Spot? 96 Successfully Hacked On the Spot? ¡°Boss, weren¡¯t you going to class? Why did you suddenly come to the company?¡± Zhao Na pretended to be curious and asked. In fact, she was extremely flustered, afraid that Li Chengqian would mention the issue of the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After Li Chengqian casually replied, his gaze landed on the installation data of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on the big screen. He thought to himself, ¡°A big brand is indeed powerful. Baidu¡¯s market reach is indeed terrifying. When all the Baidu platforms are recommending the same product, as long as the quality of the product is good enough, any product can achieve tens of millions of installations within three days.¡± ¡°If there wasn¡¯t any interference from the app stores of other mobile phone manufacturers, the Divine Dragon Optimization App might hit 10 million units in a day.¡± There was a survey regarding the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Weibo and already 30,000 people had participated in it. In the survey, 70% indicated that they would not be installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the near future as they do not want their phone¡¯s warranty to be affected. Based on the current installation statistics, if not for the influence of the mobile phone manufacturer¡¯s app stores, there would have been 8.6 million installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Boss, were you responsible for the Baidu promotion? You gave them such a hard time yesterday and they are actually promoting us all over the world today.¡± Zhao Na said in confusion. Zhao Na had only witnessed the beginning of the invasion of Baidu Corporation the day before. Li Chengqian chased her away subsequently. She had no idea what happened thereafter. Li Chengqian acted as if he didn¡¯t hear this question and ignored her. Although Zhao Na was the company¡¯s human resources director, she had just joined the company and there were some things that he didn¡¯t want her to know yet. She could speculate, because that would be nothing more than speculation. If and when Li Chengqian said it, the nature of it would change. What Li Chengqian said would become evidence. ¡°I heard from Xiaoli that speculation is rife on the Internet. He said that our Divine Dragon Optimization App has already been acquired by Baidu Corporation, and that is why they are promoting our App. Is that true?¡± Zhao Na continued to ask. ¡°No!¡± After Li Chengqian gave a concise answer, he shifted his gaze from the big screen to the laptop screen. The meeting room became quiet, so quiet that the silence is deafening. When the world becomes quiet, people tend to let their imaginations run wild. The bet suddenly came to her mind. Although Li Chengqian didn¡¯t mention the bet, Zhao Na felt uneasy all over when she thought about it. Her heart skipped a beat, worried that Li Chengqian would suddenly mention it. Zhao Na cringed when she thought of how embarrassing the situation was and wished that the earth would open up and swallow her. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ll go back to the office first. There¡¯s some progress in our search for a professional manager. The headhunter has recommended a few more candidates. I¡¯ll go take a look first,¡± Zhao Na said calmly. ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t mind and continued to stare at the laptop screen. After Zhao Na left, Li Chengqian¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. On the computer were updates on Tencent Corporation¡¯s attempt to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Hiring a supercomputer to hack my Divine Dragon Optimization App. How ruthless! What deep pockets!¡± Ordinary encryption methods on the market would definitely not be able to withstand such methods. Normal algorithms would not be able to withstand the astronomical computing power of a supercomputer at all. ¡°Unfortunately, your opponent is yours truly this time round.¡± A confident smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. The quantum encryption method he designed was not a fixed password, but a real-time password. The password was changing at every moment. Although the supercomputer was powerful, it still could not hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°It¡¯s such a waste to use such a powerful computing machine to hack a software.¡± ¡°We shouldn¡¯t be wasteful. Lend the machine to me for a while, I¡¯ll use it to do a simulation calculation.¡± Li Chengqian projected the laptop onto the big screen. Then, a command was sent out from the laptop. The Divine Dragon Optimization App, which was being hacked by the supercomputer rented by Tencent Corporation, opened a data port surreptitiously. The system control program, the network control program, and the virtual server entered the supercomputer quietly. Li Chengqian instantly gained the highest level control of the supercomputer. On Li Chengqian¡¯s laptop, lines of green text flashed on the screen. You have obtained the highest level control for the supercomputer. The virtual server has been successfully activated. The supercomputer disguise has been completed. Hacking software has been transferred to the virtual server to run in disguise. The network control program had been successfully activated. The true IP of the hacker has been established. 56. 87 **** Successfully hacked ip56.87****, successfully inserted disguised supercomputer data into the hacker¡¯s computer. Downloading hacker¡¯s computer data. 1%¡­ 2%¡­ ¡°I really have to thank the Tencent Corporation. If not for their wealth, I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to come into contact with supercomputers.¡± Li Chengqian was a little excited. During this period of time, in order to design the brainwave receiver, he had read almost all the books available in the market on brainwaves, brain science, neuron connections, and simulated brain computing. With the enhancement of the Focus skill, he was reading with three times the intelligence of ordinary people. His understanding of this knowledge had reached an extremely high level. He had already read a lot of books on integrated circuits. Therefore, Li Chengqian was prepared to use the powerful computing power of the supercomputer to try to design a special processor that could emit brain waves and filter other mixed waves. Li Chengqian already had many ideas about the overall concept of this processor in his mind. With the powerful computing power of the supercomputer, he could quickly verify the ideas in his head. As long as he found the right direction, the subsequent steps would be much easier. He just had to spend some time designing the processor and then spend some money building it. These were not difficult for Li Chengqian. ¡°We can¡¯t waste such a good opportunity.¡± Li Chengqian suppressed his excitement and placed his hands on the keyboard of the laptop. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental Coding!¡± Li Chengqian used the three Skills at the same time. His emotions quickly subsided, leaving only pure rationality. One by one, concepts and ideas were turned into executable codes and sent to the supercomputer to run. All ideas required a large number of calculations to verify. If he used an ordinary computer to calculate, he might not be able to succeed even if he worked nonstop for a month. However, on a supercomputer, the results could be obtained within a minute. ¡­ In the software support department of Tencent Corporation, the big screen was still showing the Divine Dragon Optimization App. At the bottom of the icon, the progress bar had reached 98.9%! Li Lin didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. His eyes were bloodshot. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was harder than expected to hack. ¡°Dr. Li, how long more before we can successfully hack it?¡± The CEO of Tencent Corporation, Li Jinteng, paced the room with a serious expression. Baidu Corporation had been promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App with all its might. Rumors had it that Baidu Corporation had already acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This was a huge turn of events. Baidu Corporation had already taken the offensive. Tencent Corporation had to catch up immediately because once Baidu Corporation had the first mover advantage, Tencent Corporation would no longer be competitive by the time they launch me-too products of the same quality. ¡°President Li, we¡¯ve increased the rental of computing power from the supercomputer center. The current computing power is ten times that of last night.¡± While Dr. Li Lin was giving an update on the situation, the hacking progress on the big screen jumped from 98.9% to 99%. ¡°At this rate, we will be able to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App in 10 minutes,¡± Dr. Li Lin said confidently. Li Jinteng finally relaxed a little. ¡°If He Hongyan finds out that I¡¯ve hacked into the Divine Dragon Optimization App, he wouldn¡¯t be too happy,¡± Li Jinteng said jokingly to Li Lin. In fact, Li Jinteng was also inclined to believe that Baidu had acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°President Li, it¡¯s already 99.4%.¡± Li Lin pointed at the constantly jumping data on the big screen, his voice filled with excitement and smugness. ¡°I have to say this, Li Chengqian is a genius. I¡¯ve never seen this method of encrypting the App. I believe this is his own invention.¡± ¡°However, no matter how talented Li Chengqian is, he is nothing in the face of Tencent Corporation and a supercomputer.¡± ¡°His methods and his concepts will be ours soon.¡± ¡°After hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App, not only can we obtain advanced virtual machine technology, but our company¡¯s encryption and decryption technology will also be next level, thanks to his source code.¡± Seeing that the progress of hacking had reached 99.6%, Li Lin became increasingly excited and proud. Chapter 97 - 97 Controlling Tencent Corporations Server 97 Controlling Tencent Corporation¡¯s Server 99.6%¡­ 99.7%¡­ The hacking progress on the big screen was slowly but steadily moving along. Li Jinteng and Dr. Li Lin stared at the big screen with excitement and anticipation. 99.8%, 99.9%¡­ ¡°President Li, the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App will soon belong to Tencent Corporation.¡± Dr. Li Lin¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. He had personally hacked at least 500 softwares. However, there had never been any software that was as difficult to hack as the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It took him almost two days. However, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would ultimately fall in his hands. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± A happy smile appeared on Li Jinteng¡¯s face. The performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was obvious to all. This was a world-leading technology. The encryption technology used by the App was also ahead of the times. After Tencent Corporation laid hands on these two technologies, the company would become substantially more powerful. By creating a similar virtual machine and tapping Tencent¡¯s powerful market reach, the Divine Dragon Company Software would no longer exist. One minute, two minutes, three minutes¡­ The big screen seemed to be stuck. It remained at 99.9% level. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is it stuck? Even a supercomputer can hang?¡± Li Jinteng asked Dr. Li Lin after seeing no progress despite having waited patiently for 10 minutes. ¡°President Li, it¡¯ll be done soon, it¡¯ll be done soon.¡± Li Lin kept typing lines of code, wanting to speed up the hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Done!¡± After entering the last line of code, Li Lin looked at the big screen with a smug smile. At this moment, the progress on the big screen had finally reached 100%. The icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App exploded on the big screen like a fireworks display. Countless codes flashed across the big screen. Lines of text flashed quickly. ¡°Hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App detected¡­¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App anti-hacking program activated¡­¡± ¡°Anti-hacking program has been successfully activated. Evidence of your attempt to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App is being compiled¡­¡± ¡°System Control program successfully activated. Highest level controls of all computer equipment and systems in your company have been obtained¡­¡± ¡°Website hijack program successfully activated. Divine Dragon Optimization App promotion code successfully inserted into all websites. Promotion code has been successfully run¡­¡± ¡°Network control program successfully activated. Highest level controls of all management facilities and remote servers have been obtained¡­¡± Under the big screen, Li Jinteng and Dr. Li Lin saw the notifications that kept refreshing on the big screen. Dr. Li Lin was so frightened by the content displayed on the big screen that he broke out in cold sweat. Li Jinteng¡¯s pupils constricted and his heart almost stopped beating. This was because the content displayed on the screen was too scary! ¡°Shameful! This is an insult!¡± Li Lin was not too flustered because he had already equipped his computer system with defense software. On his computer, other than the most basic systems, only specific software could run on the computer. The content displayed on the big screen looked scary, but it was only a scare tactic. When Li Lin came back to his senses, he realized that all the content on the big screen was displayed through the system¡¯s notepad application. There were no new programs running. In fact, this was a very simple thing to do. As long as there was a batch file built into the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it could easily execute this program after it has been hacked. ¡°Li Lin, what¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t you say that you will definitely succeed?¡± Li Jinteng recovered from his daze and screamed. Li Jinteng shouted as he operated the computer in front of him. Although he believed that the content displayed on the big screen was just a scare tactic, he was worried and wanted to verify it. The computer screen lit up. A majestic golden dragon swam on the desktop. The dragon was almost identical to the icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Li Jinteng was instantly drenched in cold sweat. ¡°This¡­ The company¡¯s computer has really been hacked!¡± ¡°The content on the big screen is real¡­¡± Li Jinteng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt the chills all over his body. The content displayed on the big screen showed that it wasn¡¯t just the computer that was hacked. All the servers and websites were hacked, and the promotion code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App was added on them. ¡°Li Lin, what are you f*cking daydreaming about? The content displayed on the big screen is all true. Quickly call Niu Quan and ask him to deal with it immediately. Restore the company¡¯s network, server, and computer equipment.¡± ¡°Huh? Really?¡± When Dr. Li Lin heard this, his eyes widened. He immediately verified it and placed his hand on the keyboard. Then¡­ there was no reaction from the computer. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s actually true! My computer is being controlled!¡± Li Lin looked at the computer in front of him in disbelief. He called Niu Quan in a panic. While Li Lin was making the call, Li Jinteng picked up his phone and opened his chat software with trembling fingers. After the software was activated, there was a beautiful golden dragon swimming around the frame. The chat interface was also filled with animated divine dragons. He gently clicked on divine dragon and was redirected to the download page of Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°It¡¯s exactly the same as Baidu Corporation¡¯s software!¡± Li Jinteng said with a trembling voice. Then, he opened each and every one of Tencent Corporation¡¯s apps, one after another. There was a divine dragon swimming in every mobile app. It was extremely eye-catching. ¡°So, we were all wrong!¡± At this moment, Li Jinteng finally understood that Baidu Corporation¡¯s experience was definitely similar to that of Tencent Corporation¡¯s. ¡°The same thing happened to Baidu Corporation. Their server, network, and computer equipment have also been controlled by the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± In just a short while, Tencent Corporation¡¯s internet and systems experts all rushed over. Then, they tried everything, but just couldn¡¯t regain control of the computer. They couldn¡¯t regain control of the server! They couldn¡¯t regain control of the website! ¡°President Li, call the police. Try to get the police¡¯s technical experts to take action and see if they can identify the hacker.¡± Niu Quan was the person-in-charge of Tencent Corporation¡¯s network. He spoke solemnly after having tried all means. ¡°No, now that the hackers have controlled all our data and even the backup server, if we call the police and antagonize him, he will delete the files and cause irreversible damage to our company.¡± Li Jinteng rejected the idea without a second thought. ¡°President Niu, the current situation is not caused by the hackers. This is what happened¡­¡± Dr. Li Lin told him about hacking into the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°President Li, we¡¯ve tried everything just now. I think we¡¯ll have the same outcome even if we invited others over.¡± Niu Quan was used to hacking. What surprised him was the anti-hacking methods of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It was simply terrifying. Niu Quan thought for a moment and reported to Li Jinteng. ¡°Actually, this matter is very simple to deal with!¡± ¡°The first method is to cut off all the company¡¯s networks and reinstall a system on all the servers again.¡± ¡°However, doing so will have very serious consequences. All our company¡¯s products will malfunction when we cut off the network and reset the system. The chat software and games can¡¯t be accessed. This will have a huge impact on our company.¡± ¡°Furthermore, we might not be able to eliminate the virus software of the Divine Dragon Optimization App even if we use this method of disconnecting the network and reinstalling the operating system,¡± Niu Quan said seriously. Zhou Linlin, the system security expert who came over together, unplugged a normal computer and began to reset the system. ¡°The other safest way is to let the developer of the Divine Dragon Optimization App solve this problem.¡± ¡°He that hides can find. If the people from Divine Dragon Software Company come, our company¡¯s virus software will be wiped out very quickly.¡± Niu Quan looked at Li Jinteng. ¡°If President Li leads a team to mediate with Divine Dragon Software Company, I think they will definitely accede to your request.¡± Li Jinteng looked at Zhou Linlin. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Zhou Linlin to reload the system and see if we can get rid of the virus first.¡± ¡°If we can get rid of the virus, there will be no need to contact the people from the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s voice was cold. He was indeed in the wrong for hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App and causing the company to be invaded by the virus. However, the Divine Dragon Software Company was also too much. They seized control of Tencent Corporation¡¯s server, software, and website and inserted their App¡¯s promotion program, making Tencent Corporation promote their App for free. Li Jinteng had never suffered such a huge loss in his life. He was indignant. He had already resolved that when this matter has been settled, he will garner all resources to wipe Divine Dragon Software Company off the face of earth. How was it possible for him to have to capitulate to a 17-year-old young man? Chapter 98 - 98 Arrogance 98 Arrogance The new operating system was soon installed on the computer. After the system was installed, it entered the desktop of the computer. Then, everyone saw the majestic golden dragon swimming on the desktop in a lifelike manner. The dragon glanced around, it was as if it was alive. When the divine dragon turned its body, its eyes on the screen seemed to be filled with mockery. ¡°President Li, the plan to cut off the internet and reinstall the system is not feasible!¡± ¡°I think the way to make this computer work is to reformat it and then reinstall the system. After resetting the system, we must not connect it to our company¡¯s network. Otherwise, it will be infected again.¡± ¡°If we want to get rid of the virus on our company¡¯s network, the first step is to disconnect all the equipment and replace all the network equipment. The second step is to format the data of all the equipment. The third step is to reset the system. The fourth step is to connect to the network and redeploy the server, website, and app service.¡± Zhou Linlin expressed his professional opinion. It was absolutely impossible to clear all the data on the server! If the user data is all cleared, all users will not be able to sign in to any app developed by Tencent. This would be a fatal blow to Tencent Corporation. This was definitely no laughing matter, but something that was totally plausible. Once a user could not log in to the Tencent chat software for a few days, the data stored in the Tencent chat software would all disappear. His friends, group chats, photos, published logs, and a series of other things would all disappear. How many people would then remain in the Tencent chat software? There were many substitute products on the market! They could instantly replace the Tencent chat software. After hearing Zhou Linlin¡¯s words, Li Jinteng¡¯s expression immediately turned cold. The others also looked at Li Jinteng. Li Jinteng was stuck between a rock and a hard place. ¡°Niu Quan, let the others leave first.¡± Li Jinteng waved at Niu Quan, then frowned and continued, ¡°Li Lin, call lawyer Zhang Yunjian over.¡± Zhang Yunjian, lead legal counsel of Tencent Corporation, was a very sharp and capable staff. She had provided strong legal support throughout the company¡¯s development. Although she was a woman, she was extremely assertive and driven. Zhang Yunjian had shoulder-length hair and looked very sharp in a white suit and black heels. She exuded an air of professionalism and competence. Her face was stern and glum as she listened to Li Lin¡¯s account. ¡°Does the other party have evidence that we hacked his software? This is the most critical point!¡± In an instant, she went to the crux of the matter. ¡°I don¡¯t know! But the possibility is very high,¡± Dr. Li Lin said after thinking for a while. ¡°The other party¡¯s technology is too strong. I think he might have evidence that we hacked his software.¡± Niu Quan also expressed his opinion. After Zhang Yunjian frowned slightly and said to Li Jinteng, ¡°President Li, if the other party doesn¡¯t have evidence that we hacked his software, I suggest that we call the police immediately to deal with it. Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian will definitely go to jail.¡± The entire suite of Tencent Corporation¡¯s products was promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The advertising fee was hundreds of thousands of yuan per minute. The total sum would be astronomical and the perpetrator could be sentenced to three to seven years of imprisonment. ¡°If the other party has evidence that we hacked his software, we will definitely lose this lawsuit.¡± Zhang Yunjian wouldn¡¯t want to risk it. If they lost the lawsuit, Tencent Corporation and Li Jinteng would suffer huge blows to their reputations. ¡°President Li, I propose that we mediate with the Divine Dragon Software Company immediately.¡± ¡°The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.¡± Zhang Yunjian gave her final suggestion. ¡­ Meanwhile, over at the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian took his hands off the laptop with a smile. ¡°Tencent Corporation is indeed generous!¡± ¡°The computational power of the rented supercomputer is at least 10,000 times that of a normal computer. Later on, it was even increased to 20,000 times.¡± ¡°A day¡¯s rent might be more than half a million.¡± ¡°What a kind soul!¡± Li Chengqian sighed and closed the laptop. Borrowing the powerful computing power of the supercomputer, he had already deduced all the ideas he wanted to verify. The result of the deduction was in his laptop. Preliminary design plans for the brainwave receiver! All the core equipment in this design plan was available in the real world. As long as he purchased them, they could be assembled and tested. Through this plan, brainwaves could be amplified a thousand times to filter out the clutter in the brainwaves. ¡°I need to purchase a batch of special processors and other materials¡­ I also need to customize some other parts.¡± ¡°After the various materials arrive, I¡¯ll assemble one to experiment and test the effect.¡± ¡°If the effect is good, the next step is to code brainwaves.¡± The so-called brainwave coding was when one thought of the word ¡®you¡¯ in one¡¯s head, the brainwaves would be recognized as the word ¡®you¡¯ in the computer. This may seem simple, but in fact, it was exceedingly difficult. To put it simply, when one¡¯s brain was thinking about a certain word, there would be a fluctuation in the brain waves. After this fluctuation was recognized by the computer, it would be stored in the computer in the form of a potential code like 000100101. What Li Chengqian had to do was to match 000100101 with the word to form a complete mapping relationship. ¡°President Li, Tencent Corporation just called and said that they want to cut a deal with you.¡± Zhao Na pushed the door open and entered. She had just received a call from the lawyer of Tencent Corporation asking to speak to Li Chengqian. ¡°Tencent Corporation¡¯s network, system, and server are all malfunctioning at the moment. They heard that you are very good with technology and would like you to help them resolve the issue.¡± ¡°They said that as long as the problem can be resolved, you may name your price.¡± Zhao Na repeated what the other party said. ¡°No negotiation!¡± Li Chengqian gave a flat no. ¡°Why not?¡± Zhao Na asked in bewilderment. If Li Chengqian could really solve Tencent Corporation¡¯s cybersecurity issues, Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s reputation would definitely rise to another level. They could also develop new products and services and this would be very beneficial for the company¡¯s development. ¡°If you want my help, you have to be sincere. You have to at least be respectful!¡± ¡°At the very least, they should come to Tianyi City to talk.¡± ¡°At the very least, their CEO has to come over and talk.¡± ¡°This is how you show respect to us.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care much about money. What I care about is the respect of others.¡± ¡°Tell Tencent Corporation exactly what I said. If they¡¯re really sincere, they¡¯ll do as I say,¡± Li Chengqian said coldly. When the Divine Dragon Optimization App was released, Tencent Corporation¡¯s app store also took down the App and issued a security warning. From yesterday to today, Tencent Corporation rented a supercomputer to hack the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Li Chengqian has made a mental note of each and every one of these incidents. Li Chengqian had nothing to do with Tencent Corporation¡¯s server being controlled. Everything happened as a result of the anti-hacking program being triggered by attempts to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App.What has this got to do with him? Moreover, what was Li Chengqian¡¯s initial goal? Battle! Battle! All the companies that removed the Divine Dragon Optimization App from their app stores have now been beaten to a pulp. ¡­ After reading the request sent by the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Jinteng¡¯s face became sullen. ¡°A despicable person being arrogant!¡± ¡°Arrogant, he¡¯s simply too arrogant!¡± ¡°Does he really think that he can do whatever he wants just because he¡¯s skilled?¡± ¡°Does he really think that no one can stop him?¡± ¡°President Li, we need him more than he needs us now, we are being held ransom, so unfortunately he has the last word.¡± Zhang Yunjian was in fact furious, but she didn¡¯t show it. Tencent Corporation has always been used to getting their way in everything. Now that someone was acting high and mighty in front of them, Zhang Yunjian really couldn¡¯t take it lying down. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to suck it up too. Tencent Corporation really had to grovel at Li Chengqian¡¯s feet. Imagine the extent of humiliation! ¡°Bear with it for a while and solve the problem. We have plenty of ways to fix him in the future.¡± Zhang Yunjian narrowed her steely cold eyes. She meant business. Chapter 99 - 99 The Deadly Tactics of Phone Manufacturers 99 The Deadly Tactics of Phone Manufacturers Tencent Corporation¡¯s server was controlled and its entire suite of products recommended the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The App, which was originally losing a little popularity on search engines, instantly went from eighth place to third place on the trending list. ¡°The awesome Divine Dragon Optimization App had actually received full endorsement from both Tencent and Baidu. This is unprecedented in the history of the internet.¡± ¡°Who is this Divine Dragon Optimization App? Two companies are promoting it at the same time. There is obviously something extraordinary about it.¡± The discussions on the internet were heated. The number of downloads and installations of the software was growing very fast. Within an hour after Tencent Corporation promoted the Divine Dragon Optimization App on its platform, the number of installations of the App had exceeded 10 million, and this number continued to grow at a terrifying speed. The mobile phone manufacturers who had been keeping a close watch on the Divine Dragon Optimization App were shocked when they saw the sharp increase in the number of installations. If everyone installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on their phones, the performance of the phones would double. The phones that were originally slow and laggy would now be functioning smoothly, and they could even play games on their phones. The new phones they had in the pipeline this year wouldn¡¯t be sold at all. Heyme Corporation had produced five million new phones, and the manufacturing cost was 7.5 billion yuan. OPPO had produced four million new phones, and the manufacturing cost was 6 billion yuan. The other large manufacturers had also produced a portion of their phones, and the manufacturing cost was around five billion yuan. If these phones couldn¡¯t be sold, they would suffer terrible losses. This would be a huge blow, even for the large manufacturers. What was even more terrifying was that due to the Divine Dragon Optimization App, old cell phones from five years ago could now be used. This meant that it was not only the sales of entry-level cell phones that was affected, but also the mid-range models and flagship models! Android phones originally launched new models once every two years, but after installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, a phone would work well even after five years. Other than users who misplaced their cell phones, users would almost never change phones. Judging from this trend, because of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the domestic sales of cell phones would fall to 10%, or less than 10% of the current volume, within three years. Three years later, the annual cell phone sales volume might only be about 50% of the previous year¡¯s. This was a fatal blow to any mobile phone manufacturer. At least half of the mobile phone manufacturers would go bankrupt. Because of this analysis, Heyme, OPPO and Huawei were extremely concerned. When they saw that Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation were promoting Divine Dragon Optimization App with all their might, they became even more distressed. A secret meeting was held. The survival of the entire industry was at stake. As such, although these mobile phone manufacturers were competitors, their interests were aligned now. They had to stop the Divine Dragon Optimization App! If they fail to stop the spread of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, they would be in danger. An hour after the meeting. A plan to exterminate the Divine Dragon Software Company, the Divine Dragon Optimization App and Li Chengqian was formulated and immediately put into action. It was indeed true that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was very powerful, but the App was run on phones. As for the mobile phone manufacturers, as long as the Divine Dragon Optimization App was not installed on their phones, they would have absolute control over the phones they produced. A system update notification was received on the mobile phones produced by these major manufacturers. This included the phones that were released five years ago, the phones that hadn¡¯t had a system update for three years. These phones also received a system update. The system update this time was very small, only 100 Mb. The update was compulsory for all phones. After the system update was completed, a notification was sent to the phone. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App will alter the system files. There are risks of cell phone data theft and hardware damage. In order to mitigate such risks, we are updating the system to block the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± At the same time, a large number of trolls appeared on the internet and slandered the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, I began to receive scam calls. Just now, the 35,000 yuan in my salary card was taken away by a scammer.¡± ¡°I¡¯m shocked. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, my boyfriend¡¯s chat history with me was actually uploaded online.¡± ¡°Terrifying. After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the private photos on my phone actually appeared online.¡± Overwhelming negative reviews on the Divine Dragon Optimization App appeared on the internet. Every post was designed to strike fear into people, in areas they were most concerned about. Fraud! Money! Chat history, private photos. These were the most sensitive issues for users. Any one of these issues would strike fear in a user¡¯s heart. Moreover, it was an all-rounded negative review. ¡°Oh my god, I almost installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App! Luckily I didn¡¯t! Such a close shave¡­!¡± ¡°I was going to give it a try, forget it!¡± ¡°To be honest, after the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, my phone has indeed become very smooth, but¡­ I¡¯ll uninstall it immediately.¡± ¡°All the major phone companies have updated their systems and released a notice to users today. They all state that there is a huge risk in the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Under the influence of the army of trolls, a wave of panic spread on the internet. The users who were originally planning to install the Divine Dragon Optimization App had a bad impression of the App now, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t install it. As for the users who didn¡¯t believe what was being said and proceeded to download and install the App, they were prompted by their phones that the App has been banned. Many people who had already installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App began to waver as public opinion became louder and louder. Although their phones did work well after the App was installed, it was not worth the risk of being scammed online and having private data leaked. Safety was the most important consideration. Finally, many users began to uninstall the Divine Dragon Optimization App from their phones. At this moment, an even more explosive piece of news spread on the internet. Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation were both hacked by the Divine Dragon Software Company. Their platforms were promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App because of the virus implanted by Li Chengqian, the boss of the Divine Dragon Software Company. This message was sent by Wu Botao, the Vice President of Strategy at Alibaba Corporation. At the same time, he also tagged He Hongyan, CEO of Baidu Corporation and Li Jinteng, CEO of Tencent Corporation. There was still an hour before this news was released. Logically speaking, He Hongyan and Li Jinteng should have come out to refute the rumors. However, He Hongyan and Li Jinteng did not step out to clarify the matter. This phenomenon made everyone feel that Wu Botao¡¯s message was true. Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation were being held hostage by the virus released by the Divine Dragon Software Company. That was why they were so aggressively promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App on their platforms. Initially, some users felt that the news on the internet was fake news created by mobile phone manufacturers to suppress the Divine Dragon Optimization App. However, after seeing Wu Botao¡¯s message, most people wavered. Divine Dragon Software Company actually created a virus and used it to control the servers of other companies to promote their products. A company that could do such a thing would very likely resort to stealing its users¡¯ data. ¡°Quick, uninstall the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± ¡°Oh my god, even the two internet giants have been hacked by the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This company is not a regular company.¡± ¡°Uninstall the Divine Dragon Optimization App quickly. Then, install the updates sent by the mobile phone manufacturers so as to secure the system. This way, we can eliminate the impact of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It can also prevent the App from secretly installing on your phones.¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, over at the Divine Dragon Software Company, Zhao Na panicked as she watched the number of installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App reach 10 million. Her heart raced as she recalled her bet with Li Chengqian. Half an hour later, the number of installations hit 12 million. Then, the number of installations stopped increasing and decreased at an extremely terrifying speed. In just 10 minutes, the number of installations dropped to eight million. After an hour, the number of installations dropped to four million. The speed of the decline slowed down. Zhao Na heaved a sigh of relief and thought that the number of installations would not decrease further. Then the number of installations decreased sharply again. In less than 10 minutes, it fell to 1.5 million! Just then, Zhao Na¡¯s phone rang. Zhao Na turned on her phone and saw the message and link sent by her assistant, Xiaoli. ¡°Director Zhao, our Divine Dragon Optimization App has been banned by various mobile phone manufacturers.¡± ¡°There are a lot of negative reports about our App on the internet.¡± ¡°Wu Botao of Alibaba Corporation said that the Divine Dragon Software Company had hacked into Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation, and gained control of their servers. They said that we are a virus company.¡± ¡°Our company and our products are being ridiculed on the internet! Everyone is cursing and swearing at us.¡± Zhao Na broke out in cold sweat as she opened the link. She stood up solemnly and rushed toward Li Chengqian¡¯s office. ¡°If we don¡¯t handle this matter well, our Divine Dragon Software Company will be completely destroyed!¡± ¡°These people¡¯s goal is not only to destroy the Divine Dragon Optimization App, but also to destroy the Divine Dragon Software Company. They also want to destroy Li Chengqian!¡± Chapter 100 - 100 All-round Attack, Cornered 100 All-round Attack, Cornered ¡°Boss, something major has happened!¡± Zhao Na knocked on the door and entered Li Chengqian¡¯s office. Her voice was very anxious. At this moment, a medicinal fragrance wafted over. Zhao Na saw that there was a transparent bottle on Li Chengqian¡¯s table. Only half a bottle of top grade wolfberries were left. Then, she also noticed that Li Chengqian¡¯s face was flushed, and his body was twitching slightly. When Zhao Na saw this, she involuntarily took a step back. When she saw that Li Chengqian¡¯s hands were on the computer, she spoke gingerly. The way she looked at Li Chengqian became very strange, and her tone was also very strange. ¡°Boss, are you in the middle of something?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t notice Zhao Na¡¯s curious gaze at all. The aftereffects of the Mental Coding skill made his body ache. Even after he stopped using this skill, his body was still twitching habitually. The wolfberries that he had just swallowed were taking effect, making his body heat up and his face flushed. As Li Chengqian answered, he moved his trembling hands away from the computer. Before moving his hands away, he glanced at the development progress of the Divine Dragon operating system core. [Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 58.6%!] After returning from the competition at Tianbao City, Li Chengqian would continue his development of the Divine Dragon Operating System core whenever he could find the time. After eating a large amount of medicinal wolfberries, almost half of this huge system had already been completed. ¡°Boss, something major has happened!¡± Zhao Na couldn¡¯t care less and reported the situation. ¡°Firstly, all the mobile phone manufacturers have updated their mobile phone systems almost at the same time. The new mobile phone system prohibits the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They have also issued a security risk warning on our App.¡± ¡°Secondly, a large number of articles have appeared on the internet accusing us of stealing users. A user claimed he has been scammed of 30,000 yuan because of the App. Another user claimed that her chat with her boyfriend was leaked online because of the App.¡± ¡°There are also users who claimed that after they installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App, their personal photos on their phones were posted everywhere on the internet.¡± ¡°These articles were widely shared, reposted, read, and commented on.¡± ¡°The reputation of our Divine Dragon Optimization App has suffered a huge blow. Almost all of them are negative reviews,¡± Zhao Na quickly said. Seeing that Li Chengqian¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change at all, she couldn¡¯t help but admire him. ¡°Boss, Wu Botao, the Vice President of Strategy at Alibaba Corporation, revealed online that you hacked into Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation¡¯s servers and planted a virus into all their software. That¡¯s why the two companies are recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°Wu Botao also tagged He Hongyan and Li Jinteng. The two of them haven¡¯t responded.¡± ¡°Under these circumstances, netizens would conclude that they have tacitly agreed with Wu Botao¡¯s statement.¡± Zhao Na looked at Li Chengqian worriedly. Zhao Na witnessed Li Chengqian hack into Baidu¡¯s server with her own eyes. The next day, all of Baidu¡¯s platforms started recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Thereafter, Tencent Corporation also started recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This was exactly the same modus operandi. Zhao Na was 100% confident that Tencent Corporation had been hacked by Li Chengqian. The news that Wu Botao posted on Weibo was true! ¡°On the internet, they say that our Divine Dragon Software Company is a virus company and that you¡¯re¡­ a virus manufacturer.¡± ¡°There were even a lot of posts requesting to close down the Divine Dragon Software Company, arrest you, and lock you up.¡± ¡°Due to the impact of this incident, there was a huge number of un-installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Currently, the installation number is only¡­ 1.03 million! And the installation number is still decreasing.¡± Zhao Na looked at the data on her phone. In less than 10 minutes, the installation numbers of the App had decreased by about 500,000 again. At this rate, in a few days, the number of installations of the App would fall below 100,000. In fact, Zhao Na still had some other updates. The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s website was already flooded with netizens¡¯ hate mail. The situation is the same on its official Weibo page. ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a more serious situation. Under the lead of trolls, many netizens have already left messages on the website of the Cyberspace Administration Office. They are demanding a thorough investigation of our company!¡± The Cyberspace Administration Office was an organization that specialized in managing information technology and internet technology. It is a powerful body and any matters that it gets involved in are serious issues. Moreover, the wicked will be punished. Zhao Na didn¡¯t know if Li Chengqian had done any other wicked things. However, Zhao Na knew one thing for sure. Li Chengqian had really hacked the servers of two internet giants and controlled their servers. If the Cyberspace Administration Office stepped in to investigate, Li Chengqian might¡­ be in big trouble! ¡°Boss, everything else is inconsequential. If the money is gone, we can earn it back. If the company is gone, we can set up a new company again.¡± ¡°But the issue with the Cyberspace Administration Office is a serious matter, you need to prioritize this and try to deal with it immediately¡­¡± ¡°Because if you¡¯re not careful, you may be imprisoned. This is no laughing matter,¡± Zhao Na said extremely solemnly. This set of actions was a comprehensive and organized attack. From the company, to the products, and even to the boss, they are not letting anyone off the hook. Divine Dragon Software Company has now been cornered. This made Zhao Na feel despair. Because she felt that Divine Dragon Software Company would be completely destroyed in this storm. ¡°Their methods are even more powerful than I imagined!¡± Li Chengqian said coldly. In fact, he had long expected that the phone manufacturers were not sitting ducks. They would definitely take action after they realize that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was getting popular. That was because once the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular, it would be a good thing for mobile phone users, they don¡¯t have to keep paying for new phones anymore. However, this was not a good thing for the mobile phone manufacturers. If their phones could not be sold, they would definitely incur losses. ¡°Zhao Na, I have understood the situation.¡± ¡°Regarding the Divine Dragon Optimization App, send a clarification to all users. Tell them that we didn¡¯t steal any data. You don¡¯t have to do anything else,¡± Li Chengqian said. ¡°Coincidentally, I also have something to talk to you about.¡± Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Na and changed the topic. He didn¡¯t talk about the company anymore. Zhao Na was shocked by Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze, especially when she thought of Li Chengqian¡¯s strange behavior when she first entered the office. She immediately became nervous. She was afraid that Li Chengqian would make some unreasonable requests. Li Chengqian said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve sent you a list of items to procure. Please purchase 100 sets.¡± ¡°I¡¯m making a trip to Dragon City tomorrow. It might take a few days.¡± The Divine Dragon Optimization App has been selected for the National Foundational Improvement Project. The App has already been reviewed by the software experts, I only have to attend the interview. After obtaining the approval of the experts, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would officially be included in the National Foundational Improvement Project. As long as this step was completed, with the endorsement of the country and the country¡¯s publicity, all the boycotts, slanders, and rumors would be destroyed. Divine Dragon Software Company would be seen in a positive light again. Users will no longer have to worry about the Divine Dragon Optimization App stealing data from their phones. It could be said that this trip to Dragon City was critical. ¡°After I return from Dragon City, I want to use the things I asked you to buy. This is the first thing, please make sure you get this done properly.¡± These materials would be used to make the beta brainwave receiver. Li Chengqian had already prioritized the brainwave receiver. ¡°The second thing you have to remember is that I have never hacked into Tencent Corporation.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was very calm, as if he had really never done it. Zhao Na frowned. This was a critical juncture for the company. If Li Chengqian didn¡¯t handle the situation properly, the company could be seized and he could be arrested. It was ridiculous that Li Chengqian actually wanted to go to Dragon City at a time like this. At this moment, Xiaoli dashed in and said anxiously. ¡°Boss, the CEO of Baidu Corporation, He Hongyan, and the CEO of Tencent Corporation, Li Jinteng, have come to our company.¡± ¡°They said they wanted to talk to you.¡± Xiaoli knew about the company¡¯s situation. She felt that this was an opportunity for the Divine Dragon Software Company to turn the tables. Zhao Na¡¯s eyes lit up, and they were filled with hope. ¡°Boss, if we can get Baidu Corporation and Tencent Corporation to clear our company¡¯s name, our company¡¯s reputation might still be salvaged.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s talk.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was calm. Under the current circumstances, would Baidu Corporation and Tencent Corporation be open to peaceful talks? Definitely not! However, there were some issues that he should raise. It¡¯s time to show his hand. Chapter 101 - 101 Admitting Defeat 101 Admitting Defeat In the conference room, Li Chengqian and He Hongyan sat across from each other on opposite ends of the conference table. He Hongyan was an internet veteran. He had a serious expression and an imposing aura that was intimidating. ¡°President He, it is an honor! I didn¡¯t expect you to really come personally.¡± ¡°Our company is privileged to receive you.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and said, feeling no pressure whatsoever. What he held in his hands could destroy He Hongyan. This was where his confidence came from. ¡°Li Chengqian is so young, yet he has already picked up all the bad habits. How did he learn to be so hypocritical!¡± The corners of He Hongyan¡¯s eyes twitched as he cursed in his heart. His heart became heavy. He didn¡¯t want to come either, but Li Chengqian didn¡¯t answer any unfamiliar calls at all, nor did he agree to a video conference. What choice did he have but to come personally? ¡°President Li, you¡¯re really young and promising,¡± He Hongyan praised with a smile. ¡°President He, you¡¯re too kind.¡± Li Chengqian raised his teacup and took a sip. He smiled at He Hongyan and waited for him to continue. He Hongyan said with a dark expression, ¡°President Li, the news on the internet now is very disadvantageous to your company. There is a lot of criticism.¡± ¡°Your flagship product, the Divine Dragon Optimization App, has a very low installation rate now, right?¡± ¡°I heard that the Cyberspace Administration Office has already started internal preparations to launch an investigation into the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Once the Cyberspace Administration Office intervenes, any issues will be placed under the spotlight. Even small problems will be dealt with.¡± This was what He Hongyan was most worried about now. He almost burst out laughing when he first heard that the Cyberspace Administration Office was going to investigate the Divine Dragon Software Company. However, after thinking about it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat. If evidence of him hacking into other companies and downloading the source codes of other companies was uncovered at the Divine Dragon Software Company, he would be in big trouble. He would be in a worse situation than Li Chengqian! ¡°President Li, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s going to be difficult for the Divine Dragon Software Company this time,¡± He Hongyan said solemnly. ¡°President He, thank you for your concern! You know what I want to hear. If you are here just to say that the Divine Dragon Software Company is in danger, then I think we can end this meeting now.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and said. Then, he stood up and got ready to leave. ¡°President Li, don¡¯t be agitated,¡± He Hongyan hurriedly said. ¡°President Li, the main reason I¡¯m here this time is to ask you to remove your control over our company¡¯s server and software.¡± He Hongyan thought for a moment and said bluntly. ¡°President He, can you tell me in detail what¡¯s going on? I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on. I don¡¯t have control over your company¡¯s server and software.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was innocent, as if he really didn¡¯t know anything. Li Chengqian would never admit to controlling Baidu Corporation. Once he admitted it, he would be giving other people a hold on him, giving them a means to attack him. He Hongyan scoffed at Li Chengqian¡¯s words. He didn¡¯t believe a word at all. This sly fox. He is very tight-lipped and cautious.¡± After cursing under his breath, his heart became even heavier. Then, he could only frown and relate to him the situation of Baidu¡¯s server and network. ¡°President He, you guys are a little too much!¡± Chengqian said angrily after listening to what he said. He acted like someone who had been greatly wronged. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He Hongyan asked in bewilderment. He should be the one angry. After all, he was the one who had been disadvantaged. ¡°President He, the Divine Dragon Optimization App is our company¡¯s flagship product. It has a built-in anti-hacking module. Once it detects a hacking attempt, the anti-hacking module will be executed. Your company¡¯s current situation is due to the operation of the anti-hacking module.¡± ¡°In other words, your company actually tried to hack into the Divine Dragon Optimization App without my knowledge.¡± ¡°This is an unethical act. It¡¯s also illegal.¡± ¡°Compensation, you have to compensate me for my losses!¡± Li Chengqian stood up agitatedly. ¡°President Li, we¡¯ve never hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± He Hongyan vehemently denied this. They only wanted to take the source code from the server of Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°President Li, please immediately remove the control of Baidu¡¯s server and software and let Baidu Corporation resume normal operations.¡± After several attempts, He Hongyan realized that it was wishful thinking trying to extract any information out of Li Chengqian. He decided to go straight to the point. ¡°Sure!¡± Li Chengqian agreed without any hesitation. Now that the Divine Dragon Optimization App had been banned by various manufacturers, it was meaningless to continue promoting it. Instead, it would attract more negative attention. Moreover, Li Chengqian¡¯s initial goal in controlling Baidu Corporation was to be on the offensive and earn the right to speak. Now that He Hongyan had personally come, he had achieved his objectives. He Hongyan looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. He didn¡¯t expect Li Chengqian to agree so readily. ¡°But there are conditions.¡± ¡°Firstly, your company must clear the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s name on the internet! You must refute the rumor that Wu Botao, the Vice President of Strategy at Alibaba Corporation, spread. Also the rumors about Divine Dragon Optimization App stealing user data.¡± ¡°Secondly, you tried to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App and obtain the software source code. Our company needs compensation. The amount will be set at 100,000 yuan and we will sign a compensation agreement.¡± ¡°Thirdly, the anti-hacking program of the Divine Dragon Optimization App is not a virus. I can¡¯t control it remotely. It can only be removed when I am physically at your company.¡± ¡°Compensation is not an issue, but the other conditions are impossible!¡± He Hongyan stood up from the table and said assertively. Wu Botao was telling the truth. There was no need to refute the rumors! He knew that the rumor that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was stealing user data was not true, but what did it have to do with He Hongyan? Li Chengqian¡¯s requested compensation amount of 100,000 yuan was nothing to He Hongyan, but this was not a matter of money. Once the compensation agreement was signed, the nature of this matter would change. It would completely confirm that Baidu Corporation did try to hack into the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This contract could prove that Li Chengqian had not hacked into the server of Baidu Corporation. This was something He Hongyan could not accept. He Hongyan knew that Li Chengqian¡¯s third condition was utter rubbish. However, because of what appeared to be a nonsensical condition, He Hongyan has raised his opinion of Li Chengqian. ¡°This sly fox is too cautious! His strategy is water tight.¡± ¡°President He, don¡¯t be agitated,¡± Li Chengqian said evenly. Then, he pressed the remote control on the big screen. Since he had already raised the conditions, He Hongyan had to accept them. He Hongyan had no choice but to do so. ¡°President He, I suddenly received an email a few days ago. I thought it was a virus and wanted to delete it.¡± ¡°Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t deleted.¡± ¡°I opened the email out of curiosity. Then, I realized that the email was actually about you, President He.¡± ¡°After reading the entire email, I can only say I have utmost respect for you, President He. I¡¯m truly impressed!¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. On the big screen, screenshots of chat records appeared one after another. Names of companies appeared one after another. Screenshots of folders were also projected on the big screen. The evidence was irrefutable and there was no way to deny it. In the face of these things, any resistance was futile. He Hongyan¡¯s face fell. His imposing aura disappeared in an instant. The anger on his face and the dominance he displayed was all gone. His forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. ¡°I agree to your conditions!¡± He Hongyan¡¯s face was pale as he collapsed into the chair. His voice was hoarse. At this moment, his gaze towards Li Chengqian was filled with reverence. Actually, from the moment he met Li Chengqian, he had been probing. He had held a trace of hope in his heart, praying that this evidence hadn¡¯t fallen into Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. Now, his hopes were completely dashed. He did not mention destroying the evidence because he knew that it was meaningless. With Li Chengqian¡¯s careful personality, even if he deleted these things in front of him, he couldn¡¯t be trusted. He was 100% sure that Li Chengqian would definitely have kept a duplicate set elsewhere. If it were him, he would have done the same. ¡°President He, you¡¯ve made the right choice.¡± Li Chengqian smiled. Seeing He Hongyan¡¯s dispirited look, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t take your money.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let you do anything overboard or illegal.¡± ¡°This information is safe in my hands.¡± ¡°President Li, I trust you.¡± He Hongyan didn¡¯t believe a word of it, but the information Li Chengqian had could put him behind bars, for 10 years at least. Facing someone who had something on him, he had no choice but to believe him. He Hongyan could only hope that Li Chengqian would keep his word. Chapter 102 - 102 Parting on Bad Terms 102 Parting on Bad Terms He Hongyan left the place in a daze. Subsequently, on Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions, Zhao Na arranged for a party of nine people, amongst them Li Jinteng who was the CEO of Tencent Corporation, Zhang Yunjian who was the lead legal counsel, and Dr. Li Lin, to go into the meeting room. Everyone sat down with a serious expression, filling the seats opposite Li Chengqian. Li Jinteng was wearing casual clothes and had an expressionless face. His body was relaxed as he leaned against the chair. He exuded an air of superiority that comes from being a victor in life. At his position, unless he was meeting a political leader, he wouldn¡¯t wear formal clothes. Because there was no need to! His status allowed him to dress however he fancied. He naturally wouldn¡¯t put on formal clothes just to meet Li Chengqian. After sitting down, he sized up Li Chengqian expressionlessly. In the past 10 years, he had been short changed twice. The first time was five years ago. He had suffered a huge loss at the hands of a multinational corporation. The second time was in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. Li Jinteng was especially unhappy that he had suffered a huge loss at the hands of such a young man. This time, he was forced to come over by Li Chengqian. He was infuriated at this. Lead legal counsel Zhang Yunjian held a stack of documents in her hands. She was dressed in a white suit and looked professional and competent. Her chin was slightly raised as she scanned the meeting room before staring at Li Chengqian¡¯s face. After the others sat down, they didn¡¯t say a word. Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian looked at everyone calmly. ¡°President Li, welcome to the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°And welcome everyone from Tencent Corporation.¡± ¡°I already know why you¡¯re here. It¡¯s because your company violently hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App in a bid to obtain the software source code¡­¡± Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Zhang Yunjian interrupted him. Her tone was extremely domineering, and her attitude was high and mighty. ¡°President Li, watch what you say. Don¡¯t make false allegations.¡± ¡°Whatever you say has to be backed with evidence! You can¡¯t make baseless allegations against our company!¡± Zhang Yunjian interrupted in an extremely domineering manner and accused Li Chengqian of framing them. Right on the heels of that, without giving Li Chengqian a chance to speak, Zhang Yunjian continued aggressively, ¡°President Li, we¡¯re here because the virus you created controlled our company¡¯s servers and software.¡± ¡°This is Tencent Corporation¡¯s official notice to your company. We demand that you cease the infringement..¡± ¡°Here is some evidence that the Divine Dragon Software Company has gained control of Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software.¡± ¡°This evidence fully proves one thing. Divine Dragon Software Company is illegally controlling the computers and related equipment of Tencent Corporation.¡± ¡°You are Illegally controlling Tencent Corporation¡¯s software and using it to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± ¡°Tencent Corporation has suffered huge losses as a result.¡± ¡°Your company¡¯s actions are already illegal!¡± ¡°Please stop the infringement immediately!¡± Zhang Yunjian was extremely intimidating. She didn¡¯t talk about anything else at all. She didn¡¯t mention how Tencent Corporation tried to hack into the Divine Dragon Optimization App but instead only focused on the current situation. Zhang Yunjian¡¯s assistant stood up and walked behind Li Chengqian, handing a stack of documents to him. There were at least 300 pages in that thick stack of documents. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes narrowed, and his gaze was cold. He didn¡¯t look at the documents in front of him, but looked at Li Jinteng. ¡°President Li, is this your idea?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my idea.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, please stop your infringement of Tencent Corporation immediately. Stop going further and further down this criminal path.¡± Li Jinteng nodded. His words were reprimands, and his posture was high and mighty. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes immediately turned cold. Be it Zhang Yunjian or Li Jinteng, they still didn¡¯t have a clear understanding of the current situation. Li Chengqian was not intimidated by their sense of superiority at all. ¡°President Li, since that¡¯s what you think¡­ There¡¯s no need to continue this meeting. Let¡¯s end the meeting now!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not waste each other¡¯s time.¡± ¡°If you want to talk, come with sincerity.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not sincere, you should call the police and prosecute us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all. I¡¯m very busy, so I¡¯m afraid I have to make a move.¡± ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t see you off!¡± Li Chengqian sneered. He stood up from his seat and strode towards the door. Li Chengqian really didn¡¯t understand why Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian dared to be so cocky in front of him. How dare they threaten him? Tencent Corporation should be on their knees begging him, not the other way round. He simply didn¡¯t know what to say. Zhang Yunjian sneered and didn¡¯t take Li Chengqian¡¯s attitude seriously at all. She felt that this was part of Li Chengqian¡¯s negotiation tactic. Li Chengqian was only putting up a front to scare them. After having been in a large company like Tencent Corporation for such a long time, she had gotten used to telling people what to do. She was used to being assertive and domineering. Li Chengqian¡¯s childish ¡®negotiation tactics¡¯ wouldn¡¯t possibly intimidate her at all. ¡°Li Chengqian, I think it¡¯s best if you sit down and have a good talk with us.¡± ¡°Once we prosecute, you¡¯ll be in deep shit.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk this through and negotiate a settlement. It¡¯s beneficial for everyone.¡± Zhang Yunjian¡¯s tone was still high and mighty, and her words were still filled with threats. However, compared to her previous aggressiveness, her tone had actually softened a little. Li Chengqian acted as if he didn¡¯t hear anything. His expression was calm as he walked out of the meeting room. Seeing this scene, the confidence on Zhang Yunjian¡¯s face instantly disappeared, and she was stunned. ¡°How could this be? Why isn¡¯t Li Chengqian playing by the rules!¡± A negotiation is actually a process whereby one party starts with a sky-high price so as to finally negotiate down to a set of terms that both parties can live with. She started with an accusation against Li Chengqian and produced evidence that Li Chengqian had broken the law. These were all bargaining chips. It was a means to lower the final compensation sum. A strongman attitude was the attitude a big company should have. When negotiating with any company that was weaker than Tencent Corporation, no matter if it was reasonable or unreasonable, they had to have this attitude. But she never imagined that Li Chengqian would actually walk out of the negotiation. She and Li Jinteng looked at each other and frowned. Zhang Yunjian had conducted business negotiations many times. This was the first time such a situation had happened. ¡°President Li, what should we do?¡± Zhang Yunjian approached Li Jinteng and asked softly. ¡°Let¡¯s go back first. Since Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t want to talk, so be it!¡± Li Jinteng narrowed his eyes. His voice was cold and stern, and he was fuming. ¡°Let¡¯s talk when we get back!¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s tone was filled with rage. There were no more than three people in the domestic business world who dared to be as defiant as Li Chengqian in front of him. Li Chengqian had no respect for him at all. He had no room for negotiation and walked out just like that. This was the first time Li Jinteng met with such a situation since he founded Tencent Corporation. ¡°But our servers and software are still controlled by the virus. The situation is very urgent,¡± Dr. Li Lin said softly, his eyes filled with worry. Tencent Corporation had too many users. The servers needed data maintenance, bug patching and other related work to be done to them every day. There were about 2,000 people in Tencent Corporation who were in server maintenance alone. The highest level control of the server was currently controlled by the ¡®virus¡¯. The servers couldn¡¯t be maintained, and bug repair couldn¡¯t be carried out. What¡¯s more, the current review of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was terrible. On the other hand, all of Tencent Corporation¡¯s products were still strongly recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App. A large number of complaints and feedback have come from users because of this. The situation was very urgent. If these problems were not resolved quickly, a large number of users would definitely be lost. In this era where users were everything, the loss of a large number of users was the biggest blow to companies. ¡°Zhang Yunjian, call the police and file a suit at the court immediately! Report the matter to the Cyberspace Administration Office immediately. We won¡¯t negotiate anymore!¡± After leaving the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Jinteng¡¯s eyes were extremely cold. His blood was boiling and he slammed the car in a fit of anger. ¡°Respond to Wu Botao online and let the Divine Dragon Software Company fall completely into the abyss in terms of online public opinion.¡± Zhang Yunjian had already analyzed the pros and cons of the various options open to them. Although calling the police and reporting this matter could resolve this issue, Tencent Corporation might lose the lawsuit and end up having to compensate the Divine Dragon Software Company. If this happened, there would be a huge impact on the reputation of Tencent Corporation and Li Jinteng. Therefore, in the beginning, their plan was to negotiate, pay some compensation, and resolve the matter by paying the smallest price. ¡°Alright, President Li,¡± Zhang Yunjian replied in a low voice. She was also furious. Chapter 103 - 103 Public Enemy 103 Public Enemy Baidu Corporation was very efficient. By the time Li Chengqian walked out of the conference room, the announcement to refute the rumors on the internet had already been sent out. ¡°Baidu Corporation and Divine Dragon Software Company have become partners. It is business as usual at Baidu Corporation. We have not been affected by any virus. Our software department has completed investigations and have determined that the Divine Dragon Optimization App has not stolen user data.¡± At the same time, He Hongyan also commented on Wu Botao¡¯s Weibo post, ¡°Don¡¯t make baseless allegations.¡± After the two messages were sent, the situation changed immediately. The number of people denouncing the Divine Dragon Software Company on the internet suddenly decreased. The number of people cursing Li Chengqian also decreased by a lot. ¡°Baidu Corporation said that there¡¯s no problem with the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Why don¡¯t we install it back?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t feel it in the past, but after I uninstalled the Divine Dragon Optimization App on my phone, I can feel the difference in speed. It is lagging so badly now.¡± ¡°To be honest, the Divine Dragon Optimization App really works very well.¡± ¡°After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, I can play League of Legends on my phone. After uninstalling the App, I can¡¯t even start the game on my phone.¡± ¡°Oh my god, I can¡¯t install the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The system has banned it.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t install it on my Heyme phone either!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be installed on OPPO phones either.¡± Just as some users tried to reinstall the Divine Dragon Optimization App, they realized that¡­ the App had been banned on their phones. ¡°It¡¯s caused by the system¡¯s forced update! After the system update, the Divine Dragon Optimization App cannot be installed on all mobile phones!¡± ¡°Damn, I just tried it. The updated system can¡¯t be downgraded. I can¡¯t resolve this.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App has been banned by all mobile phone manufacturers. Other than the mobile phones that already had it installed, the App can¡¯t be installed on mobile phones anymore.¡± Most users were layman users. After realizing that they couldn¡¯t install the Divine Dragon Optimization App on their phones, they could only give up after cursing a little. Through Baidu Corporation¡¯s announcement and their clarification on the rumors, the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s reputation was partially restored. However, due to the impact of this incident, they couldn¡¯t get back the number of installations they had before. They¡¯ve won their reputation, but lost their users. No matter how one looked at it, the Divine Dragon Software Company had suffered a huge loss. ¡­ At this moment, Tencent Corporation published an update on their Weibo account. They have waged a public opinion war to completely ruin the reputation of Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Software Company. They also shared what happened to them in a bid to gain the users¡¯ sympathy. ¡®Notice to Divine Dragon Software Company to Stop their Criminal Conduct Immediately¡¯ ¡®Notice of Official Complaint Lodged with Police Department¡¯ ¡®Notice of Writ Summons in Legal Suit¡¯ ¡®@Cyberspace Administration Office, complaint hereby lodged against the Divine Dragon Software Company. Li Chengqian brazenly used a virus software to control Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers, software, and computer equipment. Tencent Corporation¡¯s operations have yet to return to normal! The Corporation¡¯s losses are huge and estimates cannot be made yet. The internet is not a lawless land! Please get your Office to intervene and commence investigations immediately. Justice has to be served. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian are bullies. They rely on their technology to do whatever they want on the internet. He¡¯s an internet bully. His company is unethical. He has to be punished.¡± Tencent Corporation¡¯s official Weibo account had a total of 50 million followers. These Weibo posts blew up the internet. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company is too powerful. They have actually controlled Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software. Moreover, there was nothing Tencent¡¯s staff could do to regain control.¡± ¡°Tencent Corporation has lodged a report against the Divine Dragon Software Company, accusing them of using internet bully tactics. This is getting interesting!¡± ¡°This Li Chengqian is really aggressive. He managed to control Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software. Tencent Corporation has so many security experts and yet none could resolve this. This is a slap in their face!¡± Of course, other than those who despised Tencent Corporation¡¯s technology, more people began to speak after reading Tencent Corporation¡¯s news releases. There were many trolls in the mix swaying public opinion. ¡°Virus Company!¡± ¡°Virus company. They can even control Tencent Corporation¡¯s server and software to steal our personal data. It¡¯s that simple.¡± ¡°The pay scam definitely has something to do with the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Users have shared that their personal chat history and private photos were leaked after they installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on their phones. This is definitely true. The Divine Dragon Software Company is the company that manufactured the virus.¡± ¡°What did Baidu Corporation say?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? It¡¯s said that Baidu Corporation is a major shareholder of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Of course they are speaking up for them!¡± ¡°Baidu Corporation is no angel either. Go online and search. You¡¯ll know how many evil deeds Baidu Corporation has done.¡± Under the deliberate influence of the trolls, the winds of public opinion changed again. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company is a virus company! Li Chengqian is a drug lord!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian are simply lawless!¡± ¡°The internet is not a lawless land. Internet bullies must be severely punished!¡± ¡°A lawless person like Li Chengqian should be locked up in prison.¡± ¡°Everyone, you must share Tencent Corporation¡¯s Weibo post to let more people know how evil the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian are, lest anyone be deceived by them again.¡± ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s post our comments on Tencent Corporation¡¯s page. An unethical company like this deserves to be cursed!¡± ¡­ Lin Tian Internet Media Company controlled a large number of Weibo accounts. Besides the usual user accounts, they also have direct control over many verified user accounts. This round of troll attack on the Divine Dragon Software Company was masterminded by Lin Tian. Lin Tian used its user accounts to leave a large number of comments and hype up the topic. Then, it triggered the masses¡¯ emotions and influenced their views in the direction they were aiming for. This process had become standard operating procedure. At this moment, looking at the 1 million yuan paid into his account, the boss of the company, Lin Tian, was all smiles. ¡°If only there were a few more such requests.¡± A small company like the Divine Dragon Software Company was defenseless against a professional internet media company. It had no PR expertise, no ability to defend itself and no ability to refute rumors. Just like this time, Li Chengqian and Divine Dragon Software Company became notorious within an hour. The entire internet was cursing and criticizing them. There was a piece of news released by Tencent Corporation and a negative report on the Divine Dragon Optimization App the day before. Lin Tian Internet Media Company manipulated and controlled public opinion effortlessly. In fact, most internet users had almost no ability to think critically for themselves. They could be triggered easily and under the influence of professionals, they could easily be used as weapons. Moreover, the article defaming Divine Dragon Optimization App on the internet yesterday was in fact concocted by Lin Tian Internet Media Company. ¡°Next, continue to influence public opinion on the internet. You must pin Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian, and the Divine Dragon Optimization App on the internet hall of fame, and send them into the abyss of the internet. Condemn them!¡± At this moment, an anonymous message was sent to the anonymous chat software specially used to sign on such business requests. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian will become public enemy number one on the internet. Everyone will hate them. They will never be able to make a comeback on the internet,¡± Lin Tian replied confidently. Chapter 104 - 104 Trio to Dragon City, Software Interview 104 Trio to Dragon City, Software Interview Just as Lin Tian was replying to the message, a police car stopped below Lin Tian Internet Media Company. A team of police officers entered the company. They had just received a document which could conclusively prove that Lin Tian Internet Media Company was guilty of mounting an online assault against the Divine Dragon Software Company by defaming them! This document was very comprehensive, it included information on who was in charge of creating the so-called expos¨¦ materials, the IP where it was created and the jump server where it was sent from. Further, there was other information in the document. There were also records of all the incidents that Lin Tian Internet Media Company had been paid to spread rumors and manipulate public opinion for the past three years. According to the statistics in the document, the amount involved over the past three years was 15 million yuan! Once they are prosecuted, this would definitely be a major case that would shock the country. The Zhongshan Police Station attached great importance to this matter and has prioritized it. The only regret was that the identity of the whistleblower was unknown. They couldn¡¯t establish the true identity of the source even after they conducted technical forensics. A large number of police officers entered the Lin Tian Internet Media Company and immediately got everyone under control. Then, Captain Li, who was leading the team, walked into Lin Tian¡¯s office. ¡°I¡¯m Li Xiang from the Internet Security Department of Zhongshan Police Station. You¡¯re the person-in-charge of Lin Tian Internet Media Company, right?¡± Captain Li took out his police badge and identified himself. Lin Tian¡¯s hands were trembling slightly, and his heart was beating wildly. ¡°Hello, Officer Li. What can I do for you?¡± As he spoke, he was still working on his phone, attempting to delete some relevant information. ¡°Lin Tian, we have evidence that you are manipulating online opinion and defaming the Divine Dragon Software Company on the internet! I¡¯m now summoning you for investigation in accordance with the law. Please cooperate!¡± Li Xiang took a step forward and snatched Lin Tian¡¯s phone from his hands. ¡°Officer Li, it¡¯s a misunderstanding!¡± Cold sweat broke out on Lin Tian¡¯s forehead. ¡°First warning, Lin Tian. Please cooperate. Put your hands on your head and squat on the ground. If you don¡¯t comply, we will use force on you.¡± Li Xiang roared and gestured to the two people behind him. Lin Tian heard the warning and saw three police officers surrounding him from all directions. He didn¡¯t dare to move anymore. He squatted on the ground, trembling with fear. Crack! He was handcuffed. ¡°Take him away!¡± At this moment, a police officer ran in. ¡°Captain, we found 3,000 active phones in a cubicle on the 17th floor. These phones are key evidence of Lin Tian Internet Media Company¡¯s defamatory acts as reported by the whistleblower.¡± When Lin Tian heard this, he collapsed to the ground. As the young policeman had said, these phones were key evidence. The Weibo accounts were kept on these phones. The comments that were sent to spread the rumors and manipulate the users were from these accounts. The police wouldn¡¯t be able to convict him if they didn¡¯t find these phones. He was the only one who knew the exact location of this batch of phones. Although he was afraid earlier, he still had hope. He just had to deny all knowledge and responsibility and the police would have no choice but to release him when they couldn¡¯t find any concrete evidence. Now that this batch of phones had been found, he couldn¡¯t deny it even if he wanted to. This time, he was really done for. ¡°So you guys are behind this? No wonder! I was just wondering, the Divine Dragon Optimization App is such a useful app. Why would it need to steal user¡¯s personal data!¡± After Li Xiang took Lin Tian¡¯s phone and went through it, he quickly found the chat where Lin Tian and the others discussed plans to ruin the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Lin Tian, who is the person who asked you to defame the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s face was pale and he was in a daze. He regretted accepting this job to defame the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°When we are back at the police station, you can take your time to recall this. I¡¯m sure it will all come back to you.¡± ¡°Take them all away.¡± Li Xiang waved and took everyone from Lin Tian Internet Media Company along with the relevant evidence and equipment. ¡°I¡¯ll chat with the other party and lure them into telling who is behind this.¡± Li Xiang opened Lin Tian¡¯s anonymous chat software. After thinking for a while, he entered a message. ¡­ Tianyi City. After Li Chengqian sent the relevant materials to the police station, he went to school. The Software Research Institute had informed him to go for the interview the next day. Coincidentally, Baidu Corporation¡¯s headquarters was also in Dragon City. He could drop in along the way to remove the controls on their servers and software. In actual fact, Li Chengqian was able to do so remotely. However, if he did that, he would be exposed. He had to put up this act by going over personally. This way, even if others knew that he could remotely control the servers, no one would be able to produce evidence. ¡°Principal Wang, it¡¯s like this¡­ I¡¯m applying for leave until April 25th, when the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will end.¡± Li Chengqian found Principal Wang Lingbo and explained the reason for his trip to Dragon City. Wang Lingbo looked at Li Chengqian with a concerned expression. ¡°Student Li Chengqian, actually, I know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App is very useful, and I¡¯m using it too. But the comments on the internet are very negative and terrifying!¡± ¡°I know you are very smart and you have a mind of your own.¡± ¡°I only have two hopes for you. Don¡¯t take the wrong path. Keep a clear conscience!¡± Wang Lingbo read Tencent Corporation¡¯s Weibo post. He was shocked and worried. According to what was on the internet, Li Chengqian relied on his skills to obtain the highest level controls over Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software, like a rogue. He then planted a virus that controlled Tencent Corporation to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App! This was illegal! Of course, he knew Li Chengqian well enough, so he didn¡¯t believe all the publicity on the Internet. Moreover, he understood that once Li Chengqian finished the interview in Dragon City, and obtained the approval of the experts, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would officially be included in the National Foundational Improvement Project. He was very relieved when he thought of this. ¡°Teacher, thank you for your concern. I have a clear conscience for everything I¡¯ve done!¡± Li Chengqian was quite moved. In fact, he had met Tian Wenming in school earlier, and he also spoke very kindly to him, showing a lot of love and concern. He needed to look for Teacher Wang Jianjia first before applying for leave. Teacher Wang Jianjia was also worried that he had gone astray. Principal Wang also had the same concerns. After seeing all the criticism and denunciation on the internet, his classmates and schoolmates had sent him many encouraging messages to cheer him on. Li Chengqian saw many of his classmates on his social media network tirelessly refuting the rumors for Divine Dragon Optimization App and promoting the App over and over again. All of this made Li Chengqian very touched. It also made Li Chengqian hate the actions of certain companies even more. ¡°I believe in you, and I believe in the judgment of the experts from the Academy of Sciences! You must be careful when you go to Dragon City this time. You must get the Divine Dragon Optimization App included in the National Foundational Improvement Project. Let everyone on the internet see how powerful you are.¡± Wang Lingbo encouraged him with a smile. As long as the Divine Dragon Optimization App was included in the National Foundational Improvement Project, with the publicity on the country¡¯s national media, the rumors and abuse on the internet would all go away. ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t disappoint you,¡± Li Chengqian replied extremely solemnly. After leaving the school gate, Li Chengqian wasted no time in boarding the flight to Dragon City with He Hongyan. Chapter 105 - 105 Investigation 105 Investigation After Li Chengqian and He Hongyan arrived at Dragon City, they were received at the airport by a limousine from Baidu Corporation. The two of them went straight to the headquarters of Baidu Corporation where the control center was. ¡°President Li, this is our company¡¯s internal network. Can you remove the control of the servers and software here?¡± He Hongyan smiled apologetically. Through their conversations on the journey, He Hongyan realized that his loss was not in vain. He was full of admiration for Li Chengqian¡¯s mastery of structural network construction, operating system, programming, and other related areas. Many things that were difficult for He Hongyan to understand and solve became simple and straightforward upon Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation. On the journey from Tianyi City to Dragon City, He Hongyan shamelessly asked him questions on all the technical difficulties he had encountered in the past few years. Li Chengqian taught him conscientiously. He Hongyan had gained a lot. ¡°Sure!¡± Li Chengqian took out his laptop and connected it to Baidu Corporation¡¯s internal network. In front of He Hongyan, he used the command-line tool and entered a few lines of commands. ¡°Done!¡± ¡°President He, the anti-hacking program has stopped running and has been removed from your company¡¯s servers. As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the majestic divine dragon that was slowly swimming on the big screen of Baidu Corporation silently disappeared. The majestic, lifelike dragon that was swimming non-stop also disappeared from all of Baidu Corporation¡¯s software products. Reports began to come into his phone. ¡°President He, the server is back to normal!¡± ¡°President He, the software is functioning normally now!¡± After He Hongyan saw these messages, his face relaxed. He sent a standard reply to these messages and then once again fixed his gaze on Li Chengqian. The servers and software had returned to normal. It was indeed something to be happy about, but when he thought of the materials in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands, he couldn¡¯t cheer up. This was especially so after he heard that Lin Tian Internet Media Company was now being investigated after a whistleblower sent incriminating evidence on their internet smear campaign against the Divine Dragon Software Company. Although the identity of the whistleblower had never been established, he knew that Li Chengqian must have been behind this. This was Li Chengqian¡¯s revenge! If he antagonized Li Chengqian, he might face the same revenge. The consequences were not something he could afford. With this thought in mind, He Hongyan shelved whatever little tricks he had up his sleeves. ¡°President Li, all the servers in Baidu Corporation have returned to normal.¡± He Hongyan¡¯s tone was like a subordinate reporting to his superior. ¡°What about the issue with Tencent Corporation? How are you going to deal with it?¡± Tencent Corporation had made a police report. They had also taken legal action. They had also lodged a complaint with the Cyberspace Administration Office. This matter had caused an uproar online. If Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t careful, there would be serious consequences. For now, Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers are still under Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s control. Its software are still promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This was the truth, and it was irrefutable. ¡°If you don¡¯t handle it well, it will have a huge impact on you.¡± Because Li Chengqian had something on him, He Hongyan had no choice but to advise Li Chengqian. He was worried that he would be implicated should Li Chengqian be prosecuted. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this matter. I¡¯ll take care of it!¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°Do what I¡¯ve instructed you to do properly. It will come in handy soon.¡± On the way to Baidu Corporation, Li Chengqian asked He Hongyan to put all the apps of Baidu Corporation on the Divine Dragon App Store. ¡°President Li, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯ll be done in two days.¡± He Hongyan nodded confidently. Li Chengqian nodded. After bidding farewell to He Hongyan, he went straight to the Academy of Space Technology under the Academy of Sciences. The Divine Dragon Optimization App was shortlisted for the National Foundational Improvement Project on the recommendation of Lin Xiong, an engineer with the Academy of Space Technology. Li Chengqian had to go to the Academy of Space Technology to thank him in person. Moreover, before Li Chengqian came, Lin Xiong had specially requested for him to make a trip to the Academy of Space Technology, as he needed his help with something. At the entrance of the Academy of Space Technology, Lin Xiong had a strained smile on his face. His eyes were filled with anxiety and fatigue as he waited for Li Chengqian. After meeting Li Chengqian, they exchanged brief greetings before proceeding inside. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m sorry. There are strict security rules here because we are a top security unit. Phones and other communication devices are not allowed inside. Please leave your phone in the guard room,¡± Lin Xiong said apologetically. Li Chengqian nodded and handed over his phone. ¡°Teacher Lin, I can understand!¡± After Li Chengqian arrived at Lin Xiong¡¯s office, he immediately got down to business. ¡°Student Li Chengqian, I called you over today because I have an urgent matter.¡± For the past few days, there had been some problems with the space station. Every day or so, the altitude of the space station would decrease by one centimeter. We had to manually adjust the altitude each time. It might seem like a small matter, but in fact, it represented a safety threat to the space station. It might be only one centimeter now, but it might become one meter in a few days, or even¡­ derail. After discovering the problem, the relevant personnel investigated immediately. In the beginning, everyone felt that it was probably a hardware malfunction. However, after investigation, it was found that the hardware was not malfunctioning. The fault should lie with the software. However, Lin Xiong¡¯s team had been working on the issue for a week and had not found any problems with the software. Lin Xiong also invited relevant experts from the Institute of Software Research, which was under the Academy of Sciences, to take a look, but they couldn¡¯t pinpoint the issue either. At this moment, he thought of Li Chengqian, who had developed the space station operating system on his own. Not only had Li Chengqian developed the space station operating system, but he had also developed the Divine Dragon Optimization App, which was more advanced than the Android Virtual Machine! ¡°Li Chengqian, please help me take a look at this source code and see if there¡¯s a problem. Every time there¡¯s an automatic position adjustment, there will be a little deviation.¡± Lin Xiong placed a laptop in front of Li Chengqian. The source code that Li Chengqian was asked to review was already on the laptop. As it involved a top-secret incident, Lin Xiong only vaguely explained the situation without going into details. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t probe further. His gaze shifted to the code file. A line of notifications appeared. [Tiangong Space Station Control Program, software level E.] Li Chengqian was stunned, but he did not show it. He took an overview of the file. The size of the control program was about 15 Mb, and there were about 80,000 lines of source code. ¡°Li Chengqian, the automatic positional control program has about 3,000 lines of code. The problem should be in this segment.¡± Lin Xiong located the cursor to the positional control code segment. ¡°Li Chengqian, please help me this time. This matter is very important.¡± Lin Xiong looked at Li Chengqian with hopeful eyes. He had already tried all kinds of methods, Li Chengqian was his last resort. In the event Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t find out what the problem was¡­ The last resort would be to take the risk and upload the unverified space station positional control program that Li Chengqian had developed in the competition for use in the space station. The original system would be used as a backup system. However, there was also a huge risk in doing so. A space station was no laughing matter. It was a high-risk industry where you could do 10,000 things right, but the project would still fail when you got one thing wrong. ¡°Alright, Teacher Lin.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. After seeing the name of the software, he knew that this was serious business. There was a problem with the position and speed control of the space station. This was indeed a fatal problem. ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Focus!¡± After the Skills were activated, Li Chengqian¡¯s mood stabilized and rationality occupied his brain. Under the effect of Rational Thinking, his brain was thinking and operating like a computer. It appeared like he was reviewing the code, but in fact, he was using his brain to simulate this program. Any problems in the program wouldn¡¯t escape his eyes. ¡­ Tianyi City, Divine Dragon Software Company. Zhao Na¡¯s forehead was covered in perspiration as she called Li Chengqian again and again. ¡°The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later¡­¡± She kept getting the same notification every time she dialed. Qin Datong had already entered Divine Dragon Software Company with the police from Jinshan Province and got all the company¡¯s personnel under control. They are being questioned one by one. The internet security experts specially sent by the police department were processing, sealing, and preparing to take the computers back to the police station for data analysis. ¡°President Zhao, you haven¡¯t got through to Li Chengqian yet?¡± Qin Datong asked with a frown. ¡°His phone has been switched off!¡± Zhao Na replied nervously before continuing to try. ¡°Think of a way to inform him. Tell him to come back immediately and cooperate with the investigation no matter what he¡¯s doing.¡± ¡°This matter is being supervised by the Cyberspace Administration Office. There is high public interest in the matter and the superiors are very concerned too¡­!¡± ¡°Tell him that running away wouldn¡¯t solve the problem. It would only cause more serious consequences.¡± The same scene was being played out at Li Chengqian¡¯s house. Li Chengqian¡¯s computer, books and notebook were all taken away by the police. ¡°Mr. Li, please inform Li Chengqian immediately that he is under investigation at the Tianyi City Bureau. Running away won¡¯t solve the problem. He should work with the authorities so as to mitigate his culpability.¡± ¡°Officer, what did my son do?¡± Li Tianlan asked, his face ashen. ¡°He illegally controlled all the servers and software of the Tencent Corporation! He¡¯s suspected of illegally controlling the computer systems!¡± the police officer replied competently. Chen Li¡¯s face was pale. ¡°Officer, is there a mistake? My son is a good boy. He definitely won¡¯t do anything illegal.¡± Li Tianlan felt as if all her energy had been sucked out of her. Chapter 106 - 106 Problem 106 Problem ¡°Teacher Lin, I¡¯ve seen the positional control program. There¡¯s no problem.¡± Li Chengqian did not find any problem after reading the source code. Although this set of code was much less efficient than the space station control program he wrote, its functions were faultless. This was a space station software after all. Under normal circumstances, it must have undergone a lot of testing. No one dared to take any chances with something like this. After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Lin Xiong¡¯s disappointment was written all over his face. Li Chengqian then continued to say, ¡°Teacher Lin, I think the problem might lie in the core code or the driver.¡± The positional control program is run on the core code of the space station. Finally, the driver controlled the hardware of the space station by following the instructions of the code. ¡°Can I take a look at the core code of this system, and the driver?¡± ¡°Sure, but the core code and driver were written in assembly language¡­¡± In fact, Lin Xiong had already suspected that the issue might lie with the core code and driver after having checked the control program many times and not finding any issues. However, the core code and driver were written in assembly language. It was extremely difficult to interpret and understand. The original system developer was already looking for bugs, but it would take at least two months to complete. Even then, he might not be able to isolate the problem. ¡°Teacher Lin, I actually understand assembly language too,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°Here, this is the system core code.¡± ¡°This is the driver of the relevant equipment.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, after looking at the code, I think you already know what this program is for.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian nod, Lin Xiong said solemnly, ¡°You must keep this a secret. You must not tell anyone.¡± ¡°The code has to be kept a secret too. It can¡¯t be leaked.¡± If the source code was leaked and someone found a loophole and attacked it, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell anyone about this.¡± Li Chengqian naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. ¡°Li Chengqian, try to interpret the core code and the driver. It doesn¡¯t matter even if you don¡¯t find any problems.¡± Writing a program in assembly language was a completely different ball game from interpreting a program written in assembly language. Interpreting was ten times harder than writing, and this was even with annotation. Without annotation, trying to find a bug was not much different from trying to find a needle in a haystack. Lin Xiong had already considered it. The work day would end in an hour¡¯s time. If they still couldn¡¯t find a solution, he would activate the backup plan. After all, Li Chengqian needed to do an on-site software interview tomorrow. He needed to be prepared. This matter was also very important. Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze landed on the two documents that Lin Xiong had pulled out. With the enhancement of the Skill, he quickly browsed through it. He could comprehend the codes at a glance. Anyone else would have been perplexed by the codes. There were not many core codes in the space station operating system. Ten minutes later, he finished reading all the core codes. In his mind, he had already mentally run the control program on the core codes once. Instantly, Li Chengqian discovered the crux of the problem. ¡°So here¡¯s the problem!¡± A seemingly normal code was found by Li Chengqian. This is a period conversion function. After the control program was run, this function would be called. As the data definition was not precise enough, every positional calculation would have a slight deviation. After a day, the cumulative deviation was exactly one centimeter. After discovering this problem, Li Chengqian did not raise it immediately. That was because Lin Xiong was very busy and he was called away after he opened the core code and driver for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t panic. He just marked out the problematic code. He opened the driver¡¯s code file and started reading. What is the nature of a driver program? It was the most important component for the operation of the control program. The driver was equivalent to a hardware interface. The operating system could only control the hardware through this interface. On the space station, the specific manifestation of the driver was that it could control the activation of the Hall-effect thruster engines, including the power of the operation, the time of the operation, and so on. It could also control the switches between the various cabin doors. The quality of the driver directly determined the performance of the device. Not long after, Li Chengqian also finished reading the portion on the control system driver. Through the driver, he already understood the space station that was currently orbiting in space, especially its control system. The power of each of the four Hall-effect thruster engines was 80 millibulls. There were also four conventional thrust engines that could provide powerful temporary power. ¡°If I were tasked to re-engineer this part of the driver, I can increase the efficiency of the space station control system by about 50%!¡± Meanwhile, at the conference center of the Academy of Space Technology, the Academy director, and chief architect of the space station, Academician Gao Xiang, asked solemnly, ¡°Lin Xiong, have you isolated the problem of the space station positional control system?¡± ¡°Director, we¡¯re still investigating.¡± ¡°After investigation, we have eliminated the malfunctioning of control system software.¡± ¡°Our initial assessment is that the issue lies with the core code and the driver.¡± ¡°How long will it take to solve the problem?¡± This was what Gao Xiang was most concerned about. The space station was a symbol of the country¡¯s strength. It had to be foolproof! Nothing must go wrong. Right now, nothing else was important. The most important thing was to resolve the hidden dangers of the space station. The sooner the better. ¡°If we continue to check for bugs, it might take another two months!¡± ¡°No!¡± Gao Xiang rejected this suggestion outright. He would not be able to sleep easy until the issue in space was resolved. He was afraid that the space station would crash. That would be a serious blow to the aerospace industry of the Divine Dragon Nation. ¡°The other plan is to upload it to the space station operating system developed by Li Chengqian. It will be used as a control system during the bug inspection.¡± ¡°This solution will only take one day! However, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It will cause even more trouble.¡± ¡°Although this new space station operating system has been tested through multiple simulations, and it has been found to be stable and advanced, there are still some risks.¡± ¡°The storage space on the space station is limited. Uploading a new space station operating system means that some functions need to be deactivated,¡± Lin Xiong said with a troubled expression. Actually, the easiest and safest way to deal with it was to find the bugs in the original system and fix them. ¡°If we use the new operating system core, we will need to modify the software and adapt it. It will take at least two months.¡± After the new system was activated, there would be a lot of trouble. The original software needs to be modified to adapt to the new operating system. ¡°Lin Xiong, I can only give you three days!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use. First, you have to ensure that the space station position doesn¡¯t deviate again. Second, you have to ensure that all the software systems are operating normally. Third, you have to ensure the absolute safety of the space station.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t solve this problem safely in three days, I¡¯ll remove you from your position as the software manager of the space station. I¡¯ll find someone else to do the job.¡± Gao Xiang¡¯s tone was extremely harsh. ¡°Teacher¡­¡± Lin Xiong smiled bitterly. ¡°Lin Xiong, I know it¡¯s difficult.¡± ¡°However, if the space station really falls, our country will become the laughing stock of the international community. Three astronauts will be sacrificed, our country¡¯s aerospace industry will suffer a fatal blow, and we will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no room for negotiation on this matter. We have to resolve it no matter what!¡± Gao Xiang was extremely serious. Chapter 107 - 107 Arrest (1) 107 Arrest (1) ¡°Done!¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t idling while waiting for Lin Xiong to return. He didn¡¯t meddle with the source code provided by Lin Xiong, instead he only annotated the portions where there were errors. After waiting for 10 minutes, Lin Xiong still wasn¡¯t back. Li Chengqian made a copy of the source code. The more he looked at it, the more he was itching to do something about it. This was just like a middle school student itching to correct a primary school student¡¯s homework, like when he saw that the child has even gotten something as basic as 1 + 1 wrong. In Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes, this code was very crudely done. The construction design wasn¡¯t very rational either. In particular, they did not adopt an advanced modular design system, causing the system¡¯s malfunction to be abnormally difficult to detect. The entire system had to be updated just in order to update one small function. In Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes, this was very backward. ¡°I¡¯ll reconstruct the core code and optimize it.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t need to think at all. He placed his hands on the keyboard, and amidst the clattering sound, codes quickly appeared on the computer. He deleted a large amount of the original clumsy code, and very quickly reconstructed the entire system. The system core managed the activation of the computer and the activation, shutdown, operation, update, change, addition, and deletion of the other cores. The safety control core would review all human and non-human operations of the space station. Any actions that would cause danger to the space station would be rejected by the system and a warning would be sent to the ground. The network core carried out the space-to-earth communication, file transfer, and network connection. The file core virtualized the hard disk and other storage resources and became a module that controlled the operating system resources. The memory scheduling core controlled the memory space and automatically allocated the memory space of the entire system to ensure that it could function normally. The API layer provided an interface so that the software could call system resources to ensure that the software could function normally. The driver controlled the communication interface of the core, system, and other equipment. Of all the cores, only the driver core took some time. As for the other modules, Li Chengqian had already implemented them in the Divine Dragon operating system core or in the operating system developed during the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. As for the rest, most of the code was copied directly from the code provided by Lin Xiong. With a little optimization, it could be used directly. In just half an hour, the entire core code was reconstructed. As he looked at the engineering document, a translucent notification appeared. [Space station operating system core completion rate 100%. Software grade D+.] On the interface, the Master of All Professions game notification appeared. [D+ grade software development completed. Reward: 20,000 experience value points. Current experience pool: 657,000 experience value points.] He had been developing software during this period of time. He had unknowingly accumulated a large amount of experience value points. However, as he had yet to meet the requirements for the University Student profession, he couldn¡¯t use these experience value points for the time being. However, Li Chengqian knew that after becoming a University Student, this bit of experience value points was nothing. It was hardly enough. He had even begun to plan, under safe conditions, to use the Farmer profession again to gain experience value points. ¡°Now that the space station operating system is modular, it would be very simple to add the laser arms control module in the future!¡± Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction. ¡°After the system is reconstructed, it¡¯s completely compatible with the previous software and driver. The previous software can be used directly without any modifications. The efficiency is also about 30% higher than before.¡± Even the size of the core code had decreased to half its previous size. After the software was completed, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t put it into the simulation software to test run at all. This was because when he was writing the code just now, he maintained the skill state of Rational Thinking. He ran the code through his humanoid computer. The software was functioning well and he didn¡¯t find any bugs. Seeing that Lin Xiong had yet to return, Li Chengqian went back to work again. This time, he did not write any code. Instead, he wrote a user manual of the space station operating system, detailing how to use the new system, the API interface, and so on. Just as Li Chengqian was finishing up the manual, Lin Xiong returned to the office looking worried. After seeing Li Chengqian, he forced a smile and said, ¡°Li Chengqian, I had wanted to have a meal with you, but there¡¯s a very urgent mission, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t keep you company.¡± ¡°I asked you to help me troubleshoot the code. The higher-ups asked me to find the issue within three days.¡± ¡°Time is very tight. It¡¯s urgent.¡± Lin Xiong¡¯s face was filled with worry. Academician Gao Xiang only gave him three days to solve the problem of the space station. He was prepared to camp in the office with his team and go all out. However, Lin Xiong still did not have any confidence. He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate and destiny! ¡°Teacher Lin, don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯ve already found the problem.¡± Li Chengqian saw that Lin Xiong was so anxious and hurriedly said. ¡°It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t find it. So many of us searched for a week but couldn¡¯t find it¡­ Wait, what did you say?! You¡¯ve found it?! Really?¡± Lin Xiong suddenly reacted. His eyes widened. He was so excited that he took a step forward and grabbed Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. ¡°Teacher Lin, calm down. I have really found the problem!¡± Li Chengqian looked at the exhilarated Lin Xiong and said calmly. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m sorry, I was too anxious¡­ Please tell me quickly, what¡¯s the problem?¡± Lin Xiong also reacted at this time and hurriedly let go of Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian turned on the computer and opened the program file. He pinpointed the problematic code and began to explain, ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­¡± Lin Xiong was very skilled in programming so he understood Li Chengqian¡¯s point within a few sentences and his eyes lit up. Based on the knowledge he had, Li Chengqian had really found the problem. ¡°¡­ We just need to change the data type to double precision, and the offset problem will be solved.¡± ¡°This problem started to appear on April 1st because in the core code, the data types before and after April 1st are different.¡± ¡°Teacher Lin, look at these lines of code.¡± ¡°Yes, the problem lies with these lines of code! As long as we change these lines of code, no matter how long the space station operates, there won¡¯t be such a malfunction.¡± Lin Xiong¡¯s face was filled with excitement. He looked at it carefully and confirmed the location of this line of code. The anxiety on his face was swept away, and he was in a state of exhilaration. ¡°I¡¯ll immediately tell my boss this good news and tell him not to worry.¡± Lin Xiong didn¡¯t speak further and brought Li Chengqian out. ¡­ Over at the Academy of Space Technology, a team of fully armed detectives from the Internet Security Department was led by Wang Xinbo, the Deputy Director of the Cyberspace Administration Office into the Academy. Through technical means, they had already ascertained Li Chengqian¡¯s last location. This time, they have come to arrest Li Chengqian. The Tencent Corporation incident had a huge impact, and the public was extremely concerned. The higher-ups requested a thorough investigation and to update members of the public as soon as possible. They couldn¡¯t investigate at all when Li Chengqian was uncontactable. Wang Xinbo was once a student of Academician Gao Xiang. After he entered the Academy of Space Technology, he immediately went to Gao Xiang¡¯s office to explain the situation. ¡°Mr. Gao, this is the situation. We¡¯ve already pinpointed the suspect, Li Chengqian¡¯s location through technical means. The last place he appeared was at the Academy of Space Technology.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s software technology is very formidable. He can control all the servers and software of Tencent Corporation.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if he enters the Academy of Space Technology, he will cause damage, steal decrypted data, and even control¡­ the space station.¡± ¡°This person is very dangerous. We are informing you about him, and we have to control him immediately! Otherwise, he will threaten the space station and the Academy.¡± ¡°According to the soldiers at the gate, Li Chengqian was brought in by Senior Lin. After viewing the surveillance footage, we found that he¡¯s still in Senior Lin¡¯s office.¡± Wang Xinbo¡¯s tone was extremely serious. ¡°Xinbo, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Although Academician Gao Xiang was close to 70 years old, he was in good health. After hearing the report, he slammed the table angrily. ¡°Lin Xiong, this kid, hasn¡¯t been doing anything serious all day. This time, he even brought such a dangerous person into the office. After you arrest him, I have to teach him a lesson.¡± In fact, he was trying to protect Lin Xiong. Chapter 108 - 108 Arrest (2) 108 Arrest (2) Lin Xiong pulled Li Chengqian out of the office. Wang Xinbo pointed at Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ve finally caught you!¡± Immediately, two policemen rushed over from both sides and surrounded Li Chengqian to prevent him from escaping. ¡°Li Chengqian, you illegally hacked Tencent Corporation¡¯s server and software. The victim has already called the police. You have to come back with us for investigation.¡± Wang Xinbo walked over and stood in front of Li Chengqian, speaking sternly. This scene happened too suddenly. Before Lin Xiong could react, Li Chengqian was sandwiched between two policemen. ¡°Director Wang, what are you doing? Let Li Chengqian go quickly!¡± Lin Xiong¡¯s tone was anxious. He was the one who invited Li Chengqian to come and help solve the space station software system malfunction. Naturally, Lin Xiong was not going to let them arrest Li Chengqian just like that. ¡°Senior Lin, this is what happened. Li Chengqian is suspected of hacking into Tencent Corporation¡¯s server and software and using Tencent¡¯s influence to promote the software developed by his own company.¡± ¡°This matter is well known on the Internet. The higher-ups attach great importance to it and requested for a thorough investigation,¡± Wang Xinbo explained in an extremely serious manner. His meaning was obvious. He was warning Lin Xiong not to intervene. ¡°Lin Xiong, what¡¯s wrong with you?! Instead of focusing on the software issue I asked you to resolve, you actually went to bring in such a dangerous person to our place. What are you trying to do?!¡± Gao Xiang scolded him sternly. He had expected better from Lin Xiong. ¡°Teacher, the software problem has just been resolved! It was Li Chengqian who helped solve it! I invited him over to ask him to help solve this problem.¡± Lin Xiong pointed at Li Chengqian, his tone excited. ¡°Wang Xinbo, you can¡¯t arrest him before you have investigated the matter thoroughly! He has contributed to the country! Treating a hero like this will disappoint the people, understand?!¡± Because he was too excited, Lin Xiong directly called out Wang Xinbo¡¯s name. ¡°If Li Chengqian really did something he shouldn¡¯t have done and broke the law, I¡¯ll deal with him as I should. I definitely won¡¯t say a word to him.¡± Lin Xiong¡¯s face was filled with determination. He took a step forward and stood in front of Li Chengqian, clearly showing his attitude. ¡°What are you talking about? He has solved the software problem?¡± Gao Xiang looked at Li Chengqian in shock. Li Chengqian looked like a child. Wang Xinbo was surprised that Li Chengqian could solve the software problem of the Academy of Space Technology, which meant that Li Chengqian¡¯s grasp of technology was indeed very impressive. ¡°Teacher, he¡¯s the programming genius I mentioned to you last time, Li Chengqian! He¡¯s the developer of the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the space station control system I showed you last time!¡± ¡°The Software Research Institute has already completed basic testing of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They found that the App has reached international standards and have shortlisted it for the National Foundational Improvement Project. Li Chengqian came to Dragon City to attend their software interview. Once he passes the interview, this App that he developed single handedly would be included in the National Project.¡± ¡°He may be young, but his programming abilities are definitely better than mine!¡± Lin Xiong explained. Wang Xinbo was even more surprised. He knew that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was developed by Li Chengqian, and he also knew that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was notorious on the Internet. However, he didn¡¯t know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was about to be included in the country¡¯s National Foundational Improvement Project. According to Lin Xiong, the Divine Dragon Optimization App had already passed the basic test of the Software Research Institute. That meant that Divine Dragon Optimization App was a safe and advanced software that could be in the National Foundational Improvement Project. So all that talk on the internet about the Divine Dragon Optimization App stealing data and spreading viruses was plain nonsense. Someone was deliberately spreading rumors and defaming them. In an instant, Wang Xinbo thought of many things. The way he looked at Li Chengqian also changed. Gradually, it was no longer cold, but gentle. However, he was still a little worried. After all, the space program was of utmost importance. ¡°So he¡¯s the one you asked me to recommend!¡± Gao Xiang was enlightened. Lin Xiong was the one who asked him to recommend the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Lin Xiong nodded firmly. ¡°Xinbo, you handle it. Li Chengqian solved the software problem. He¡¯s indeed a hero of the country. My attitude is the same as Senior Lin¡¯s. I¡¯ll handle it impartially!¡± Although Gao Xiang didn¡¯t express his stance clearly, his words already indicated that he was on Li Chengqian¡¯s side. ¡°Teacher, Senior Lin, don¡¯t get me wrong, I¡¯m only looking for Li Chengqian to help with investigations.¡± ¡°His phone was switched off earlier and we couldn¡¯t contact him. We thought that he had fled to avoid prosecution and thought that he had come to the Academy of Space Technology to cause trouble. That¡¯s why we arrested him directly when we met. Now that we understand the situation, it¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡± Wang Xinbo laughed and explained. ¡°Academician Gao, Teacher Lin! Thank you for speaking up for me.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression had always been very calm. From the moment he refused to continue negotiations with Tencent Corporation Company, he was already mentally prepared. ¡°Director Wang, my Divine Dragon Optimization App has a built-in anti-hacking program. If you hack the App, it will activate the program. The function of the anti-hacking program is to latch onto the other party¡¯s server and software to prevent the App from being hacked.¡± ¡°The promotion of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Tencent Corporation¡¯s website is also part of the anti-hacking program.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never hacked and controlled Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software.¡± Li Chengqian was direct, making his attitude and position clear, and categorically denying the accusations against him. Wang Xinbo frowned. Anyone could make baseless allegations. What was most important was evidence! If there was no evidence to prove that Tencent Corporation had hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App, based on the current situation, no matter how fanciful Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to clear his name. Because¡­ in this matter, Li Chengqian was the only one who benefited! Tencent Corporation had suffered a huge loss. The advertisements for the Divine Dragon Optimization App were still hanging on all the software of Tencent Corporation. This was a fact that could not be denied no matter how hard he tried. ¡°Where¡¯s the evidence?¡± ¡°I have evidence! The anti-hacking program built into the Divine Dragon Optimization App will automatically record all the hacking operations of Tencent Corporation on the App.¡± ¡°As long as I go to the Tencent Corporation and connect to their intranet, I can direct this data through source code,¡± Li Chengqian said with certainty. Not only could he derive the operation to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App, but he could also derive the video of Dr. Li Lin hacking the App. ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s set off immediately to Tencent Corporation! The sooner the matter is resolved, the better!¡± Wang Xinbo¡¯s expression turned serious as he suggested directly. ¡°No!¡± Lin Xiong disagreed. ¡°Teacher, Xinbo, we will for sure have to make a trip to Tencent Corporation, but we have to wait for the software problem to be completely resolved before going. This matter takes top priority,¡± Lin Xiong said solemnly. The problem of the space station was more important than everything else. ¡°Xinbo, your senior is right. This matter is more important than anything else. Li Chengqian can only go with you after this matter is settled.¡± Gao Xiang nodded and finally made his stand. ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t we go tomorrow after the interview for the Divine Dragon Optimization App?¡± Lin Xiong thought of Li Chengqian¡¯s purpose in coming to Dragon City and suggested. ¡°No!¡± Wang Xinbo objected. The software issue was very utmost importance, thus he had to listen to Gao Xiang, and he could justify this decision to anyone who asked However, he really could not wait for the interview for the Divine Dragon Optimization App to be over! The masses and the higher-ups were all waiting for the results. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to the people from the Software Research Institute about the interview. Please postpone it! After dealing with the software, Li Chengqian will go with Xinbo and clarify the matter before coming back. The people from the Software Research Institute will give me some face.¡± Gao Xiang finally made his stand. ¡°Senior Lin, has Li Chengqian used this computer before?¡± Wang Xinbo found an opportunity to ask Lin Xiong quietly while pointing at the computer. He was still a little worried. After all, Li Chengqian was a formidable person who could control Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers and software and make countless technical experts helpless. If he were to pull a trick at the Academy of Space Technology or on the space station, nobody would be able to withstand the consequences. Chapter 109 - 109 Arrogant People Need to be Taught a Lesson 109 Arrogant People Need to be Taught a Lesson Soon, Li Chengqian was led to the canteen by the relevant personnel of the Academy of Space Technology. On the pretext of sending Li Chengqian to the canteen for food, Wang Xinbo actually wanted to send him away so as to conduct a full inspection of the computer that he had used. Wang Xinbo took out a device that looked similar to a laptop and connected it to the computer Li Chengqian had just used with a USB. ¡°Teacher, this is the safest virus defense and detection equipment developed by the Internet Security Department.¡± ¡°It works very well. We only have to connect it to another piece of equipment and it will perform the functions automatically.¡± ¡°It can automatically detect if a software is self-replicating and if it sends data stealthily to a specific address.¡± Self-replication and the stealthy sending of data are the most obvious characteristics of a virus software. As he was explaining, Wang Xinbo turned on the computer that Li Chengqian had just used. The operating system user manual written by Li Chengqian was not closed at all. The three of them looked at it at the same time. [Introduction to the use of the space station operating system version 2.0] Hardware performance increased by 30%, combined fuel utilization increased by 20%, mechanical arm operation accuracy increased from 2 cm to 0.8 cm, positional control accuracy increased from 3 cm to 1 cm, and the precision of the docking system increased from 2 cm to 0.5 cm. ¡°It can perform standalone, real time updates of any module. New functional modules can be added to the space station with some simple programming, such as the Laser Arms Control module, the Kinetic Weapon Control module, and so on¡­¡± When Wang Xinbo read the document, his eyes widened with surprise. ¡°Senior Lin, have you already planned to restructure and modernize the space station operating system? This seems like an ambitious project!¡± ¡°Lin Xiong, why didn¡¯t you tell me about your plan?¡± Gao Xiang¡¯s voice was filled with joy. ¡°Teacher, Junior Wang, you¡¯ve misunderstood. I didn¡¯t write this document¡­ If I¡¯m not wrong, it should be written by Li Chengqian.¡± For security purposes, the computer that Lin Xiong allowed Li Chengqian to use only had the space station operating system on it, and nothing else. During this period of time, only Li Chengqian had access to this computer. The new document was of course written by Li Chengqian! As Lin Xiong spoke, Wang Xinbo quickly scrolled down the document and had a quick read of the introduction to the space station operating system version 2.0. The three of them were shocked by the description in the introduction. This was because the structure of this system was very advanced, much more advanced than the current space station operating system that was in use. Whether it was in terms of the system structure, the hardware, or the addition of new modules, it was even more advanced than the best systems in the world now. After reading this introduction, the three of them had the same thought. ¡°What a genius!¡± ¡°This plan is very well written. It¡¯s forward-looking and far-sighted, and its concept is very advanced. Lin Xiong, after you have dealt with the software issue, do a feasibility study on this proposal. If it¡¯s feasible, develop a new version of the space station operating system according to this proposal,¡± Gao Xiang told Lin Xiong solemnly after thinking about it seriously. ¡°When this system is developed, not only can it be used on the space station, but it can also be used on satellites and space shuttles. With some modifications, it can also be used on low-altitude aircraft such as jet fighters and drones.¡± ¡°With the level of intelligence and automation of this system, if it was deployed on jet fighters, it could improve their functionality and flight time too.¡± Right on the heels of that, Gao Xiang thought of another area where this system could be used. When Wang Xinbo heard Gao Xiang¡¯s words, he was secretly shocked. He carefully saved the document, afraid that it would be accidentally deleted. After saving the document, Wang Xinbo and the rest looked at the other documents in this folder. After discovering that it was a software engineering document, Wang Xinbo quickly operated the computer. Under Lin Xiong¡¯s guidance, he activated the simulation software in the computer. Immediately, version 2.0 of the space station operating system ran in the simulation software. In the blink of an eye, the system was successfully activated. At the top of the interface, right in the middle, were the words ¡°Space Station Operating System Version 2.0¡±. In the middle of the interface, there were a few buttons neatly arranged in a row. It was exactly the same as the interface they had seen on the user manual for the space station operating system version 2.0. Compared to the original space station operating system, the current interface was more modern, user friendly and intuitive. The three of them, who were originally chatting and laughing, held their breaths when they saw this interface. Everyone went silent and all their attention was on the computer. Wang Xinbo re-opened the user manual file and quickly operated the interface according to the instructions in the manual. ¡°Unbelievable. This operating system version 2.0 has actually been developed. It¡¯s not a plan like we thought it was!¡± After trying a few times, Wang Xinbo was stunned and his voice was filled with disbelief. ¡°Li Chengqian alone completed the reconstruction of the space station operating system¡¯s core code in two hours! How is this possible¡­¡± Lin Xiong was shocked. He and his team of more than 20 took half a year to develop the space station operating system back then. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that all of this had happened before his eyes, he definitely wouldn¡¯t believe any bit of this was true. ¡°Genius! Peerless genius! Of all the people I¡¯ve met, Li Chengqian has the strongest programming talent. No one else comes close!¡± Gao Xiang¡¯s voice was also filled with shock. Back then, in order to build a safe space station operating system within half a year, Lin Xiong worked so hard that he lost his full head of thick black hair. One could only imagine how tough it was. ¡°Teacher, this version 2.0 system has been tested. It didn¡¯t replicate itself, nor did it send any data out.¡± Wang Xinbo didn¡¯t forget about the serious concern. He looked at the virus defense and detection equipment. The data displayed on it was normal. ¡°Lin Xiong, your next mission is to study the space station operating system version 2.0. Then, go to the Software Research Institute and ask them to conduct an analysis. As long as we confirm the safety, stability, and advancedness of this system¡­ I will immediately report to my superiors and replace the current space station operating system with the new system.¡± Gao Xiang made his stand clear on the spot. Hardware performance increased by 30%, combined fuel utilization increased by 20%, mechanical arm operation accuracy increased from 2 cm to 0.8 cm, positional control accuracy increased from 3 cm to 1 cm, and the precision of the docking system increased from 2 cm to 0.5 cm. These are the performance enhancements stated in the manual. This is assuming Li Chengqian did not make any overstatements. After replacing the operating system, the space station¡¯s performance had improved by a generation! It was almost identical to the next generation of space stations that was currently being developed. Even Gao Xiang couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of such a major improvement in performance. ¡°Teacher, the original space station operating system has been tested and there¡¯s no problem.¡± Lin Xiong and Wang Xinbo simulated the original system and everything was normal. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Lin Xiong, deal with the problems in the original software first, then go to the Software Research Institute immediately.¡± Gao Xiang nodded with a smile. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Xiong agreed. Then, he asked worriedly, ¡°Teacher, what about Li Chengqian¡¯s matter?¡± ¡°Just based on the space station operating system that he reconstructed, no matter how serious his matter is, I¡¯ll settle it for him!¡± Gao Xiang said firmly and then looked at Wang Xinbo. ¡°Teacher, Li Chengqian has to go to the Tencent Corporation with me¡­! This matter is very serious. The entire country is watching. It has to be handled in accordance with the law,¡± Wang Xinbo said with a bitter smile. ¡°Teacher, the only thing I can guarantee you is this! As long as Li Chengqian isn¡¯t at fault, I definitely won¡¯t let him suffer!¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, over at Tencent Corporation, Zhang Yunjian updated Li Jinteng on the situation. ¡°President Li, according to the Cyberspace Administration Office, Li Chengqian has been found. He will be brought over early tomorrow morning to remove his control of our company¡¯s servers and software.¡± ¡°When we went to negotiate with him, we had planned to give him a sum of money to remove the control, but he didn¡¯t want to negotiate.¡± Zhang Yunjian felt extremely relieved. She wanted to use this matter to teach Li Chengqian a lesson. If you don¡¯t listen to me, you won¡¯t get a single cent! ¡°The accounting firm has also calculated our losses. Because of Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Software Company, our direct financial losses are 360 million. It¡¯s not easy to estimate the indirect losses. It¡¯s about 2.3 billion. We have communicated with the judge, he is with us on this.¡± ¡°In the worst case scenario, I¡¯ve also arranged a backup plan.¡± Zhang Yunjian continued with a confident smile. ¡°I¡¯ve also talked to Dr. Li Lin and his wife! If Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Software Company can produce evidence of us hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App, he will take all the responsibility. He will say that he used the company¡¯s resources to hack the App for his personal research purposes, and the company had no knowledge of this.¡± ¡°The hacking has nothing to do with our company! Our company is also a victim.¡± ¡°To be safe, all the hard disks in the company¡¯s monitoring server have been destroyed. There won¡¯t be any video or audio footage left. Your reputation won¡¯t be implicated because of this, and there won¡¯t be any evidence left behind.¡± ¡°The computers that were involved in the hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App have all been destroyed.¡± She had thought through everything thoroughly, and through her series of arrangements, there were no more loopholes in the entire matter. Everything that could incriminate theTencent Corporation had been destroyed. With all these measures in place, the Tencent Corporation would eventually emerge the victor. As for Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Software Company, they would pay a heavy price for this. ¡°Clap, clap, clap!¡± Li Jinteng clapped with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Zhang Yunjian. Even if he were to arrange this matter, he couldn¡¯t have done it better than Zhang Yunjian. ¡°President Zhang, well done! Let¡¯s wait and see what will happen to that arrogant brat Li Chengqian.¡± Zhang Yunjian had a proud expression on her face. She smiled more and more confidently. ¡°President Li, Li Chengqian is young and has let success get to his head. He¡¯s arrogant, conceited and too full of himself. He has to be taught a lesson.¡± Women were usually more vindictive than men. When they were negotiating in Tianyi City, Li Chengqian put her in a spot, and she never forgot that. Li Jinteng also sneered and said with anger in his voice, ¡°Li Chengqian indeed needs to be taught a lesson. He left me in the conference room and even chased me away! This is the first time I, Li Jinteng, have seen someone who dares to treat me like this.¡± ¡°He will pay a price for his actions.¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s voice was extremely cold, and he sneered. Chapter 110 - 110 Want to Play Rough with Me? 110 Want to Play Rough with Me? At 10am the following day, Wang Xinbo brought Li Chengqian and the elite forces of the police department directly to the headquarters of Tencent Corporation. Yesterday, for safety reasons, Academician Gao Xiang asked Li Chengqian to oversee the process of Lin Xiong updating the space station operating system and deal with any problems that might arise. Because the data transmission speed between the space station and the ground was very slow, it was not until late at night that the bug in the space station operating system was fixed. Although it was only a modification of a line of code, because the system adopted a holistic design plan, the entire system had to be uploaded to the space station in order to update and replace. During this period of time, the investigation team in Tianyi City sent some information. The investigation experts found the design document for the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Li Chengqian¡¯s personal computer. In the document, there was a design plan for the Divine Dragon Optimization App anti-hacking program. The effect of the anti-hacking program was exactly the same as the current situation encountered by Tencent Corporation. The completion date of this document was before the release of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It was thus extremely credible. At the same time, the security experts checked all the equipment of the Divine Dragon Software Company and did not find any virus programs. The network experts tested all the electronic devices of the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian. There was no evidence of any hacking activities. These investigations were very advantageous to Li Chengqian¡¯s case. ¡°Director Wang, welcome.¡± At the entrance of Tencent Corporation¡¯s headquarters, Li Jinteng had already been waiting with the company¡¯s senior management. When he saw Wang Xinbo get out of the car, he welcomed him warmly. The Deputy Director of the Cyberspace Administration Office was a powerful position. Li Jinteng naturally wouldn¡¯t dare to offend him. Zhang Yunjian maintained a decent smile on her face as she spotted Li Chengqian in the crowd. When enemies meet, their eyes tend to burn with hatred! Her gaze instantly turned steely cold. She was disappointed that Li Chengqian was not handcuffed. However, when she saw that Li Chengqian was accompanied by a group of sharp looking, statuesque men, she immediately smiled. Needless to say, these burly men were definitely plainclothes police officers. They were here to prevent Li Chengqian from escaping. Moreover, in addition to these plainclothes police officers, there were seven or eight uniformed police officers following behind the crowd solemnly. ¡°Why are there so many police officers watching Li Chengqian alone?¡± Zhang Yunjian was a little puzzled. ¡°Maybe this case is too serious. The Cyberspace Administration Office and the police department wanted to be extra careful, that is why they mobilized so many people.¡± She thought of a plausible reason. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t handcuffed. If he came handcuffed, I would immediately take a photo of him and post it on Weibo¡­ With a little push, Li Chengqian¡¯s reputation will become even worse. It will also send a message to the industry about the consequences of going against Tencent Corporation.¡± Zhang Yunjian thought wistfully. After Li Jinteng and Wang Xinbo exchanged a few pleasantries, they got down to business. ¡°Director Wang, our company¡¯s servers and software have been controlled by the virus for three days. Look¡­¡± Wang Xinbo continued the topic. ¡°I came here this time to resolve this matter. Let¡¯s go. Bring us there directly.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already done our work on Li Chengqian¡¯s end. He has agreed to help you remove the control on the servers and software.¡± ¡°However, Li Chengqian needs to connect to your company¡¯s internal network before he can remove the control on the servers and software. He doesn¡¯t have the ability to remotely control your servers and software,¡± Wang Xinbo said solemnly. After they heard this, the senior executives of Tencent Corporation who knew technology were all stunned. Li Chengqian could control the servers and software of Tencent Corporation. But he could not remotely remove the control of the servers and software?! He has got to be joking! This is like a man who can design space shuttles saying that he can¡¯t design bicycles? Bullshit! Li Jinteng naturally didn¡¯t buy this. He frowned slightly but did not refute. Instead, he led Wang Xinbo inside. ¡°Why is Director Wang speaking up for Li Chengqian? Could it be that there¡¯s some relationship between them that I don¡¯t know about?¡± All kinds of thoughts flashed through Li Jinteng¡¯s mind. Soon, the group arrived at the Tencent Corporation data control center. On the big screen, the majestic divine dragons swam around, vivid and lifelike. Everyone who saw the scene for the first time would be stunned by the beauty of the artwork and the high resolution of the graphics. There were also golden dragons swimming on all the screens of the rows of office computers . ¡°Director Wang, look, all our equipment is controlled by the virus.¡± ¡°All the equipment can¡¯t be operated. In the past three days, we¡¯ve tried everything we can think of and tested all the methods we can think of. It¡¯s useless.¡± ¡°In these three days, our direct financial loss was 360 million, and our indirect loss was more than a billion. The long-term impact is almost immeasurable.¡± ¡°Director Wang, this incident has caused a stir in the entire internet industry. Not only are ordinary people paying attention, but all the internet companies are also paying attention. They¡¯re all waiting for an answer and¡­ justice!¡± ¡°All the internet companies are waiting for the outcome of this matter.¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s message was very serious. He needed to make his attitude clear to Wang Xinbo. He wouldn¡¯t ordinarily have said these words, but he got anxious because Wang Xinbo stood up for Li Chengqian by saying that Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t remotely control the servers and software. ¡°The internet is not a lawless land! Anyone who violates the law will be punished! Whether it¡¯s Li Chengqian or you, it¡¯s the same.¡± Wang Xinbo¡¯s eyes were calm, and his tone was stern. He stared at Li Jinteng for a full minute before turning to look at Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, come here. Remove the control on Tencent Corporation first.¡± ¡°Also, show me proof of what you told me.¡± Li Chengqian told him that he could prove his innocence by producing evidence of Tencent Corporation hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Alright!¡± Li Chengqian calmly stepped forward and opened the laptop in his hand. He inserted the network cable into the network port of the data center and typed the command-line. Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers were like lightning as lines of characters were entered into the computer. The input speed of the characters was unbelievably fast. It even exceeded the speed of reading. This operation lasted for a full ten minutes. ¡°Done!¡± After pressing the last confirmation button, Li Chengqian¡¯s face relaxed. Immediately, all the golden dragons swimming on the big screens disappeared and everything went back to normal. From the staff pool, there was a flurry of updates on the situation. ¡°President Li, the servers are back to normal. They can function now.¡± ¡°President Li, all the software has returned to normal. The promotion link for the Divine Dragon Optimization App has disappeared.¡± ¡°President Li, the computers are back to normal. They can function now.¡± ¡°President Li, the monitoring system and check-in system are back to normal. They can function now.¡± The senior executives of Tencent Corporation all had relaxed smiles on their faces when they heard the report. Li Jinteng heaved a sigh of relief too. Over the past three days, because they couldn¡¯t maintain the database and software, almost all the software of Tencent Corporation was on the brink of collapse. The Weixin App had a large number of login errors and messages couldn¡¯t be sent. If this situation persisted for 10 days, the Weixin App might lose a large number of users. Weixin might lose its monopoly on the market and it might be impossible for it to ever regain its leadership position in the future. At this moment, on Zhang Yunjian¡¯s signal, two burly security guards from Tencent Corporation rushed to each side of Li Chengqian. They had sneers on their faces as they reached out to pull Li Chengqian away, trying to separate him from the computer. Li Chengqian was too dangerous. As long as Li Chengqian¡¯s hands were on the computer, Zhang Yunjian would be worried. Although the possibility was very small, she couldn¡¯t risk having Li Chengqian control all the servers and software again. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°Li Chengqian, stay away from the computer! I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll control our company¡¯s servers again,¡± Zhang Yunjian said openly. She felt vindicated and had a smug smile on her face. ¡°You guys want to play rough with me? What a joke!¡± Li Chengqian sneered. His Stamina Stats was 19 points. With the enhancement of the passive Strength skill, it was raised to 30 points. It was more than three times that of an ordinary person. In this world, no one was stronger than him. ¡°Rise!¡± Li Chengqian shouted loudly. His two arms stretched out like lightning and grabbed the belts of the two security guards. He carried them up and raised them in the air. The two burly men were lifted into the air like little chicks. The two security guards weighed more than 200 catties each, and their combined weight was more than 400 catties. They were light as a straw to Li Chengiqan. They felt weightless to him. ¡°Help, help!¡± The security guards screamed. ¡°Oh my god¡­ Put me down, quickly put me down¡­¡± The two of them were shocked. They were waving their arms and legs in mid air, like dancing crabs, and screaming fearfully. The person closest to Li Chengqian was Zhang Yunjian, who was walking over quickly with a smug expression. She was so frightened by this sudden scene that her face turned pale. Because of fear, her body stiffened. Because of fear, she couldn¡¯t help but retreat. Zhang Yunjian was wearing high heels. As she retreated, she tripped and fell. Instinctively, she let out a terrified cry. ¡°Oh my god.¡± Li Jinteng was also frightened by this scene. He instinctively leaned back and looked at Li Chengqian as if he was looking at a monster. However, he was afterall an experienced person . He reacted almost instantly and roared, ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you doing? Do you want to hit someone in front of the police?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, put these two people down immediately!¡± The police quickly surrounded Li Chengqian from all directions. Their voices were stern. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian differently. From inattentiveness to extreme seriousness! Wang Xinbo was also shocked by the strength Li Chengqian displayed. Then, he quickly reacted and shouted for him to stop. ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you doing!¡± ¡°Put them down immediately. You must not hurt anyone!¡± ¡°They rushed over to attack you just now. You can defend yourself. Now that they have lost the ability to attack you, it¡¯s illegal for you to hurt them now.¡± With just a few words, Wang Xinbo had classified the nature of this matter as self-defense. He also reminded Li Chengqian that he absolutely could not hurt the two of them now. Li Jinteng¡¯s originally angry face expression became even angrier when he heard this. ¡°I don¡¯t care what the relationship between you, Li Chengqian, and Wang Xinbo is. As long as it can be verified that Li Chengqian controlled the servers and software of Tencent Corporation, I will make you pay the price.¡± ¡°This is a lawful society. What¡¯s the use of having so much strength!¡­ I don¡¯t believe that you dare do anything to us in front of the police.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian holding the two burly men up, Li Jinteng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Chapter 111 - 111 No Evidence 111 No Evidence ¡°It¡¯s just a little warning!¡± ¡°Whoever dares to use violence against me, I can retaliate at any time.¡± Li Chengqian put the two security guards down, his voice extremely cold. The two security guards were so frightened that their bodies were trembling. They could not stand at all. Their bodies went limp and they sat on the ground. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat as they looked at Li Chengqian with fearful eyes. Zhang Yunjian stood up with the help of some people and quickly hid behind the police. Her voice was shrill as she shouted in exasperation. ¡°Director Wang, police officers, please handcuff Li Chengqian immediately!¡± ¡°Not only did he illegally control our company¡¯s servers and software¡­¡± ¡°He is now being aggressive. For the safety of law-abiding citizens like us, please handcuff Li Chengqian immediately.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± One of the police officers couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and spoke very sternly to Zhang Yunjian. ¡°You were the one who arranged for the security guards to attack Li Chengqian first. You started this first! When the matters here are settled, you and the two security guards will come to our Bureau.¡± When Li Jinteng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and explained, ¡°Director Wang, police officers! It¡¯s a misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding. Just now, our people only wanted to pull Li Chengqian away from the computer. We didn¡¯t have any intention of attacking him.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s computer skills are too formidable. We were just worried that he would use the virus to control our company¡¯s servers and software again.¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that such a normal action would cause Li Chengqian to misunderstand and make him hit someone.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s both take a step back and let this matter rest.¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s meaning was very simple. This was just a misunderstanding, and no one was injured. In fact, the people from Tencent Corporation were the ones who were at a disadvantage. There was no need to escalate the matter. Li Jinteng distorted the truth. In just a few words, he pinned the blame on Li Chengqian. Everything he said was aimed at Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian heard these words, his gaze became even colder. Li Jinteng changed the topic to the matter of the company¡¯s servers being controlled, everything else was insignificant. ¡°Director Wang, how are you going to deal with the matter of our company being controlled?¡± ¡°Now, the matter is very clear!¡± ¡°The virus he developed controlled our company¡¯s computers and software! Everyone watched when he removed the control just now.¡± ¡°In these three days, Tencent Corporation¡¯s direct loss was more than 300 million yuan, and the indirect loss was more than 1 billion yuan!¡± ¡°The culprit is here! Why don¡¯t you handcuff him?¡± When he said the last sentence, Li Jinteng¡¯s tone became stern. Wang Xinbo was indeed powerful, but he, Li Jinteng, was not someone to be trifled with. If necessary, he had his connections to the very senior people. ¡°Li Chengqian, what do you say? What are you going to show me?¡± Wang Xinbo did not answer Li Jinteng¡¯s question but looked at Li Chengqian instead. Now, the only way to break out of this situation was for Li Chengqian to show the evidence of Tencent Corporation hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App. If there was no evidence in this regard, he had to get someone to handcuff Li Chengqian back. Otherwise, he would not be able to answer to everyone. ¡°The thing you want to see is here. Please look at the big screen!¡± Li Chengqian gently tapped on the computer. Under his control, a form was projected onto the 40sqm big screen. There were only three things displayed on it, the data of the replacement of hard drives, computers, and servers for the past three days. After seeing the data displayed on the big screen, although Li Jinteng, Zhang Yunjian, and Li Lin forced themselves to remain calm, their hearts were palpitating, and their eyes were even filled with shock. The data Li Chengqian gave was exactly the same as the actual data. Only the three of them knew this data! Especially Dr. Li Lin. When he saw the data on the big screen, his back was instantly covered in cold sweat. The hard drives, computers, and servers had been replaced by Li Lin alone because he was afraid that others would find out about the leak. ¡°President Li, I have to say that not only are you wealthy, but you¡¯re also very capable.¡± ¡°In three days, all 387 hard disks on the monitoring server have been replaced with new ones. The evidence related to your hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App has been destroyed.¡± ¡°All the computers related to the hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App have been replaced with 250 computers and 38 servers.¡± ¡°Through these methods, you have destroyed all the relevant records related to the hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, such that I can¡¯t find any evidence.¡± ¡°I have to say, you guys are formidable!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was cold and stern. ¡°Li Chengqian, we haven¡¯t changed any equipment. What you said is just your imagination.¡± Li Jinteng denied it. That was because only the three of them knew about the change in the relevant equipment. Furthermore, the last thing they changed was the hard disk in the monitoring server. In other words, there was no trace of the process of changing the equipment. At the same time, Li Jinteng was extremely glad. ¡°Fortunately, Zhang Yunjian considered everything and changed all the relevant items. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable now. Li Chengqian would definitely find a lot of evidence.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s skills are too terrifying, and he¡¯s also cunning enough! Just now, under the pretext of removing the control, he secretly collected data on our company¡¯s hardware modifications.¡± ¡°If the surveillance hard disk had not been replaced, Li Chengqian would have definitely obtained the surveillance video of us hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Thinking of the close shave, Li Jinteng broke out in cold sweat. ¡°Fortunately, all the relevant hard drives and computers have been destroyed. Li Chengqian definitely won¡¯t be able to find any evidence!¡± Thinking of this, Li Jinteng was very proud. Li Chengqian¡¯s skills were indeed unbelievably good, but the hard disks, computers and servers had all been changed! Li Chengqian¡¯s skills were useless in the face of this! ¡°Young man, we only talk about facts and evidence!¡± Because the worries in his heart had disappeared, Li Jinteng switched back to his high and mighty self. He had a victorious smile on his face and a disdainful gaze. Zhang Yunjian¡¯s eyes were filled with smugness. She raised her chin slightly with arrogance. Because she had considered and arranged all of this. ¡°Li Chengqian, from the moment you left us in the conference room, you were destined to end up like this.¡± The scene of being so frightened by Li Chengqian that she fell to the ground replayed in her mind again. That embarrassing scene made her want to tear Li Chengqian into pieces. ¡°Li Chengqian, I will definitely make you pay for this.¡± Wang Xinbo¡¯s expression did not change, but after looking at the data on the big screen and listening to the conversation between the two of them, combined with the situation discovered by the Tianyi City investigation team, he had a basic assessment of the situation. Tencent Corporation must have hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App! However, the relevant equipment had already been destroyed. There was no evidence! The theory that Li Chengqian suggested regarding the equipment replacement could not prove that Tencent Corporation had hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°This is tricky!¡± Just as Li Jinteng had said, speculation were only supplementary methods in cracking a case. At the end of the day, only evidence counts! Without evidence, no matter how good the deduction was, it was useless. If there was no evidence to prove that Tencent Corporation had hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App, with such a huge sum of money and so much social attention, even with Academician Gao Xiang¡¯s help, Li Chengqian would definitely be prosecuted! The senior management of the Tencent Corporation were all present. After hearing the conversation between Li Jinteng and Li Chengqian, everyone smiled. That smile was filled with pride and ridicule. Chapter 112 - 112 Scapegoat 112 Scapegoat Just as the people from Tencent Corporation were smiling smugly at the victor, Wang Xinbo was getting worried. At this moment, Li Chengqian made his move. His eyes swept across everyone, and the corners of his mouth curled into a confident smile. His hands gently tapped on the keyboard. ¡°Da!¡± There was a crisp sound. Immediately, the content displayed on the big screen changed. A video taken by the surveillance camera began to play. The time, the IP, and the location of the surveillance footage was displayed. This was the surveillance footage of the data center lobby where Li Chengqian and the others were currently at. However, the date stamp was three days ago. The surveillance footage was facing the big screen. The top left corner of the big screen was inlaid with Tencent Corporation¡¯s logo. It was twisted into the shape of the number ¡®8¡¯. The icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was in the middle of the big screen. Under the icon was a progress bar, and below the progress bar was a line of words. ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App hacking progress: 17%¡­¡± Dr. Li Lin was stunned when he saw this scene. The folder he was holding slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground. ¡°Impossible! This is impossible¡­!¡± Li Lin was very familiar with the scene in the surveillance footage. This was the scene when he tried to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App. At that time, he did not take the Divine Dragon Optimization App seriously. He thought that he could hack it by using the company¡¯s server. At that time, he had not rented a supercomputer, nor had he transferred the hacking location to the software support department. When Li Jinteng saw the scene, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. At the same time, countless question marks appeared in his heart. ¡°Where did Li Chengqian find the surveillance video? Hasn¡¯t the hard drive already been destroyed?!¡± ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t come over when Li Lin first hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± This was Li Jinteng¡¯s only consolation. ¡°We can only sacrifice Li Lin!¡± Li Jinteng made up his mind. When Zhang Yunjian saw the surveillance video on the big screen, she was very shocked. It was as if she had seen a ghost. She stared at the video for a while, unable to understand how Li Chengqian had obtained it. The hard drive had already been destroyed. Logically speaking, these images shouldn¡¯t exist. When the other people from Tencent Corporation saw the surveillance footage, their expressions became serious. They turned to look at Li Lin. Wang Xinbo looked at the surveillance footage and then at the hall he was in. The worry that had just arisen in his heart was swept away. ¡°Are you thinking this is impossible?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was exceptionally cold. ¡°I clearly¡­ processed the data! How did you get this video?¡± Li Lin wanted to say that he had changed the hard drive, but Li Jinteng had already denied changing the equipment, so he changed his words at the last minute. ¡°You clearly changed the hard drive to a new one. There shouldn¡¯t be any data left, right?¡± Li Chengqian continued. Everyone was attracted by Li Chengqian¡¯s words and pricked up their ears to listen. Not only was Li Lin curious, but the others were also curious. Other than curiosity, Li Jinteng was also afraid and nervous, and he couldn¡¯t wait to hear what Li Chengqian had to say. Only by knowing why would he be able to determine if Li Chengqian had obtained the surveillance video when he was in the software support department. If Li Chengqian had gotten hold of the surveillance footage that he had participated in at that time, he would be in trouble. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App has a built-in anti-hacking software. When you try to hack the App, you will be detected by the built-in anti-hacking software. Then, the anti-hacking software will take over all the relevant equipment around you, recording videos, recording IPs, and a series of operations.¡± ¡°The relevant documents recorded are distributed and stored on your internal network. There are also many backups.¡± ¡°All I did was to call up the video files distributed on your internal network.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Li Jinteng and smiled silently. Li Jinteng understood the hidden meaning in Li Chengqian¡¯s words! Immediately, Li Jinteng¡¯s face turned pale and his entire body turned cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. ¡°We can¡¯t wait any longer! We have to make a move now!¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s mind raced. He forced himself to turn around and look at Dr. Li Lin. At this point, there was no way to refute the accusation. Someone had to take responsibility for this matter. Pushing Li Lin into the fire and offering a deal that is sweet enough to appease Li Chengqian¡¯s anger was the best choice and the only option. ¡°Li Lin, the company has clear policies that forbid you from hacking other companies¡¯ software. You actually used the company¡¯s server behind our backs and secretly hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± ¡°I am very disappointed in you!¡± ¡°Li Lin, tell me, why did you hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App?¡± Li Jinteng was visibly upset. There was disappointment in his eyes as he began to question. Li Lin¡¯s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and replied as per the prepared script, ¡°President Li, the Divine Dragon Optimization App is too advanced. I hacked it privately in a bid to learn. I want to learn the advanced concepts and methods in the App.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I really didn¡¯t expect that hacking the App would cause such serious consequences and cause such a huge loss to the company.¡± ¡°Because I was too afraid, I didn¡¯t dare to tell the truth¡­¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m sorry. Because of my selfishness, I have caused huge losses and catastrophic consequences to your company.¡± ¡°I was wrong. I¡¯m willing to bear the consequences!¡± With just a few words, he took all the responsibility on himself so that Li Jinteng and Tencent Corporation wouldn¡¯t be implicated. ¡°Li Lin, you disappoint me!¡± Li Jinteng nodded in satisfaction, but he shook his head in disappointment. Then, he turned to Li Chengqian. Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s calm gaze, Li Jinteng¡¯s heart beat wildly. He opened his mouth and said, ¡°Li Chengqian, our surnames are both Li. Perhaps we were a family five hundred years ago.¡± ¡°Although Li Lin did this privately, our company should take responsibility as this is a management oversight. We didn¡¯t discover his actions in time and didn¡¯t stop his illegal act. He has caused huge losses to you and your company. We¡¯re willing to compensate you and the Divine Dragon Software Company for all the losses! How much do you think is appropriate?¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t respond. He just looked at Li Jinteng quietly. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze, Li Jinteng felt his entire body turn cold. His hair stood on end, and he could not help but feel nervous and¡­ afraid. ¡°Zhang Yunjian, immediately calculate the losses caused to the Divine Dragon Software Company this time! We have to satisfy President Li!¡± Li Jinteng hurriedly turned around and spoke to the upset Zhang Yunjian. He changed the way he addressed Li Chengqian to President Li and no longer called him by his name to show his respect for him. Zhang Yunjian was very unwilling, but now that things had come to this, Li Jinteng had already conceded defeat, so she could only do the same. ¡°Director Wang, I¡¯m really sorry for making a fool of myself. I didn¡¯t expect the problem to lie with us.¡± While Zhang Yunjian was estimating the losses, Li Jinteng didn¡¯t stay idle. He smiled bitterly at Wang Xinbo. ¡°Although Li Lin did something wrong, he¡¯s an employee of our company and has contributed to our company¡¯s development.¡± ¡°Director Wang, our company will bear all the losses caused by Li Lin¡¯s mistake. We won¡¯t pursue his mistakes anymore.¡± ¡°I plead with you not to prosecute Li Lin.¡± The losses would be borne fully by Tencent Corporation, and the responsibility would be placed squarely on Li Lin. Spending a little money would save Tencent Corporation and his reputation. Under the current circumstances, this is the least-loss approach. This was the best way forward, whether to deal with Li Jinteng or Tencent Corporation. Wang Xinbo didn¡¯t say anything. He turned to look at Li Chengqian. Because Li Chengqian was the one who suffered the most in this incident. On the internet, the Divine Dragon Software Company was now labeled as the king of viruses on Alibaba websites. It is a target of online hate speech. Moreover, because Tencent Corporation made a police report, he even brought officers to the Academy of Space Technology to arrest him. Li Chengqian¡¯s home and the Divine Dragon Software Company were also raided. Not only was his reputation on the internet ruined, but his reputation in reality was also ruined. ¡°Li Chengqian is the victim here. You have to ask him for his opinion first!¡± Wang Xinbo looked at Li Chengqian. Chapter 113 - 113 The Price is Your Freedom 113 The Price is Your Freedom ¡°President Li, I¡¯m really sorry!¡± To be honest, Li Jinteng didn¡¯t want to talk to Li Chengqian because Li Chengqian gave him a lot of pressure. Moreover, it was such a humiliation and embarrassment for him to have to keep apologizing to a seventeen-year-old boy. However, Li Lin¡¯s future hinged on Li Chengqian¡¯s decision. If Li Lin¡¯s punishment was too severe, he might spill the beans on the whole matter and the consequences would be dire! He appeared to be pleading for Li Lin, but he was actually thinking for his own safety. Li Jinteng had no choice but to grovel. ¡°President Li, Li Lin and you share the same family name. He has old folks and a young child to support. Please be magnanimous and spare him this time,¡± Li Jinteng said sincerely. ¡°President Li, actually, I still have a few videos that I want to show you.¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian sneered. Li Jinteng was only apologizing and groveling when he realized that he was about to be exposed. People do not get away with murder! If Li Jinteng hadn¡¯t been so rude and unreasonable when he first arrived at the Divine Dragon Software Company, if he hadn¡¯t been so high and mighty, if he had apologized sincerely and negotiated properly, Li Chengqian would definitely have let him off. Instead, Tencent Corporation played the blame game and fired the first shot. They lodged complaints, made police reports and took legal action, all this while playing the victim. They also defamed the Divine Dragon Software Company, Divine Dragon Optimization App, and Li Chengqian on the internet. They made Li Chengqian the target of everyone¡¯s hatred. They destroyed the reputation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The company was raided and freezed, and his house was turned upside down. Li Chengqian was like a criminal, placed on the wanted list by the police. If not for Academician Gao Xiang¡¯s guarantee, Li Chengqian would probably have been handcuffed and escorted to Tencent Corporation. All of this was caused by Li Jinteng! And now he wanted to resolve this matter by simply apologizing, offering compensation? Impossible! When Li Jinteng heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, fear suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. His entire body turned cold, and his forehead was instantly covered in sweat. ¡°President Li, don¡¯t be rash. There is always room for negotiation. In order to make up for your losses, feel free to ask for anything. As long as it¡¯s within my means, I will definitely meet your terms.¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s tone was almost pleading. If Li Chengqian exposed the video of him commanding Li Lin to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also face jail time. Tencent Corporation would also suffer a huge blow because of this! Li Jinteng was willing to spend any amount of money to resolve this. Due to fear and nervousness, Li Jinteng hurriedly shouted at Zhang Yunjian, ¡°Zhang Yunjian, have you computed the compensation for President Li?¡± ¡°President Li, it¡¯s done!¡± Zhang Yunjian was visibly upset and there was panic in her heart. She quickly handed a piece of paper over. She had suffered a huge loss at Li Chengqian¡¯s hands the last time. This time, she was so frightened by Li Chengqian that she fell, causing her to be embarrassed. She was extremely displeased with Li Chengqian and hated him to death in her heart. She didn¡¯t want to give Li Chengqian a single cent of compensation at all. But she didn¡¯t dare! She was very nervous¡­ and afraid! From what Li Chengqian said, he still had other video evidence in his hands. Perhaps Li Jinteng had arranged for Li Lin to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App video. If the video was played, it would immediately become evidence that Li Jinteng had instructed and instigated others to commit a crime. It was also possible that Li Chengqian had a video of her reporting to Li Jinteng on how to destroy the relevant evidence. She would then be guilty of obstructing the course of justice by destroying criminal evidence. ¡°Zhang Yunjian, are you calculating according to the highest compensation standard?¡± Li Jinteng asked worriedly. ¡°President Li, it¡¯s calculated according to the highest standards!¡± ¡°There are 500 million users of Android phones in the country. Based on 50% of the installations, the total number of installations is 250 million. Based on the industry standard, where 1% of users are paid users, the total number of paid users is 2.5 million.¡± ¡°The usage fee for the Divine Dragon Optimization App is 18 yuan per year. The total sales revenue for a year is 45 million yuan.¡± ¡°In the industry, the highest standard for full-fund acquisition of other companies is usually six times the other party¡¯s net assets. We also have to compensate Divine Dragon Software Company with 270 million yuan based on six times its annual revenue.¡± Zhang Yunjian quickly said. 270 million! When the senior management of Tencent Corporation heard this astronomical sum, everyone¡¯s expressions turned solemn and their hearts ached. When Wang Xinbo heard this amount, he nodded and thought to himself, ¡°Li Jinteng is quite sincere.¡± When Li Jinteng heard the sum of 270 million yuan, although his heart ached, he knew that now was not the time to worry about money. Turning to look at Li Chengqian, Li Jinteng carefully said, ¡°President Li, do you think our calculation method is reasonable? What do you think of this price?¡± ¡°Nothing much!¡± Li Chengqian sneered. 270 million yuan was indeed very tempting. However, it was not very attractive to Li Chengqian! The Divine Dragon Optimization App could earn more than this within a short period of time. He was developing the Divine Dragon operating system core, which would be even more profitable than the App. He didn¡¯t care about the money at all. What he wanted was the right to speak. The right to have the last word. And influence! With influence, when he created new products, no one would dare to interfere or try dirty tricks on him. If someone dared to interfere or scheme against him, he would destroy the person! This time, he was going to destroy Tencent Corporation! Make an example of them! After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Li Jinteng thought that Li Chengqian found the price too low and secretly cursed Li Chengqian for being insatiable. ¡°President Li, name a price. I¡¯ll do my best.¡± However, now was not the time to worry about money. As long as he could spend money to avert the disaster, he was willing to pay any price now. With Tencent Corporation¡¯s resources, even if the price was ten times higher, he could still bite the bullet and pay it. ¡°President Li, anything can be discussed. The issue between us can also be mediated and resolved. There¡¯s no need for us to kill each other in the process! We can come to a win-win arrangement.¡± Zhang Yunjian was very nervous. Seeing that the atmosphere was solemn, she hurriedly added. Li Chengqian still didn¡¯t speak. He looked at Zhang Yunjian calmly. Zhang Yunjian felt her hair stand on end from Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze. Her voice was filled with fear, and there was no longer any arrogance on her face. ¡°President Li, your Divine Dragon Optimization App is a very good software. If you cooperate with Tencent Corporation, with the help of our domestic and foreign resources, you will be even more powerful. You will quickly lead the market.¡± ¡°President Li¡¯s will is the will of Tencent Corporation. With Tencent Corporation¡¯s resources, there are very few things that we can¡¯t do.¡± ¡°President Li, please name a price!¡± Zhang Yunjian finally changed the topic to money. Actually, she also felt that Li Chengqian might not be satisfied with the compensation of 270 million yuan. ¡°Since you want me to name a price¡­ then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian looked at each other. They finally relaxed a little and they heaved a deep sigh of relief. It was good if what he wanted was money! It would be bad news if he didn¡¯t want money! ¡°He¡¯s really too greedy. Li Chengqian is actually still not satisfied with the huge compensation of 270 million yuan.¡± The senior management of Tencent Corporation cursed Li Chengqian¡¯s greed in their hearts. Wang Xinbo frowned and glanced at Li Chengqian. ¡°President Li, please tell me! How much do you want?¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s voice was relaxed. Because of Li Chengqian¡¯s greed, his opinion of him had gone down by quite a few notches. ¡°I want your freedom!¡± Li Chengqian sneered and spat out the price. Chapter 114 - 114 Annihilation 114 Annihilation ¡°What did you say? What price did you say just now?¡± Li Jinteng thought he had heard wrongly. ¡°Freedom! My price is your freedom.¡± Li Chengqian repeated his words clearly. Then, before Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian could react, he gently tapped on the computer. Instantly, the image on the big screen in the data center changed. It became the surveillance footage of the lobby of the software support department. In the surveillance footage, Li Jinteng and Li Lin could be clearly seen standing at the table under the big screen. On the big screen, it was still showing the scene of them hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The progress of hacking had even reached 90%. Li Jinteng¡¯s voice came from the surrounding speakers. ¡°Dr. Li, how long will it take to successfully hack it?¡± Right on the heels of that, Li Lin¡¯s voice also came. ¡°President Li, we¡¯ve increased the rental of computing power from the supercomputer center. The current computing power is ten times that of last night.¡± ¡°Based on the current progress, we will be able to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App in 10 minutes.¡± In the surveillance footage, Li Jinteng had a smile on his face. At that time, he had already regarded the Divine Dragon Optimization App as his. When Li Jinteng saw the surveillance footage on the big screen, his face turned pale. When he heard the sounds coming from the surrounding speakers, cold sweat instantly drenched his clothes. It was as if his strength had been sucked out of him. If not for someone supporting him from behind, he would have collapsed to the ground. He was so proud of himself in the surveillance footage! He was now as regretful as he was proud. With the surveillance footage and his voice, Li Jinteng had no way to deny anymore, in the face of this concrete evidence. Zhang Yunjian¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. She looked at Li Chengqian as if she had seen a lunatic. Li Jinteng had already conceded defeat and asked Li Chengqian to name a price. The meaning was obvious. He could ask for as much money as he wanted, as long as he didn¡¯t send them to jail. However, Li Chengqian was like a mad dog. He refused to let go and insisted on releasing the video of Li Jinteng instructing Dr. Li Lin to commit a crime so that there was no room left for negotiation. Isn¡¯t money the reason for everyone¡¯s hard work? Working hard, developing new technologies, setting up companies¡­ weren¡¯t all these for money? Li Jinteng was already willing to compensate! Li Chengqian was still latching on. If he wasn¡¯t crazy, what was he? When the senior management of Tencent Corporation saw the video on the big screen, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°We can¡¯t provoke this person. He doesn¡¯t care about money. As long as we offend him, he would have no qualms about doing anything.¡± This thought appeared in everyone¡¯s head. ¡°This brat is really ruthless! He bids his time, and when he strikes, he goes all the way out. Every move is precise and deadly, his opponent doesn¡¯t even have a chance to react or fight back. I had thought that he was only technically accomplished, but it turns out that his strategies are even more powerful than his techniques.¡± Wang Xinbo looked at Li Chengqian solemnly. Li Chengqian turned to look at Wang Xinbo. ¡°Director Wang, it has been proven that Li Jinteng instigated Li Lin to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App. He¡¯s the mastermind in this matter.¡± ¡°He has to receive the punishment he deserves.¡± Never give your enemy a chance to get back at you. Li Chengqian was clear about this principle. ¡°Cuff Li Jinteng and Li Lin and bring them back for investigation!¡± Wang Xinbo waved his hand and asked the relevant personnel to command the police to take action. Li Jinteng and Li Lin¡¯s faces were ashen. They were fearful as they were handcuffed. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re simply a lunatic! An unreasonable lunatic.¡± Li Jinteng looked at Li Chengqian, his heart filled with endless regret. If he hadn¡¯t been so arrogant when he went to Tianyi City back then, if he had taken the initiative to admit his mistake, if he had honestly compensated¡­ None of this would have happened today. Unfortunately, no one can turn back the clock. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re a lunatic! I¡¯m f*cking crazy to provoke a lunatic like you.¡± Li Jinteng smiled bitterly. ¡°Zhang Yunjian, you¡¯ll be in charge of the company¡¯s matters from now on. You¡¯ll also be in charge of my case this time.¡± Li Jinteng instructed as he was being taken away. Although Zhang Yunjian was a woman, her ability was unquestionable! She did everything flawlessly. Zhang Yunjian definitely wouldn¡¯t have lost if the opponent this time wasn¡¯t someone as formidable as Li Chengqian. He would only be assured to leave things in Zhang Yunjian¡¯s charge. ¡°Alright, President Li. You¡­ don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely guard the company well for you.¡± Zhang Yunjian originally wanted to say, ¡®Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely think of a way to get you out.¡¯ However, she held back when she saw that Li Chengqian was around. She was completely terrified now. She was afraid that if Li Chengqian heard her words, he would think of a way to sabotage her plans. He would keep watch on Li Jinteng, making it impossible for Li Jinteng to be rescued. ¡°Zhang Yunjian, at this point, you know how to deal with the Divine Dragon Optimization App! We have to do what we have to do.¡± Li Jinteng didn¡¯t say it explicitly, but Zhang Yunjian had worked with him for nearly 10 years and naturally understood what he meant. Since Li Chengqian was determined to destroy him, they have reached the point of no return. Then the previous plan had to be abandoned! Then everything would be done according to legal procedures and standards. The compensation for the Divine Dragon Optimization App couldn¡¯t be calculated in the same way as before. The courts would have to adjudicate the compensation, and their computation methods wouldn¡¯t yield such a large amount. ¡°President Li, don¡¯t be in a hurry to plan your funeral. It¡¯s not time yet.¡± Li Chengqian had been quietly listening to Li Jinteng¡¯s instructions to Zhang Yunjian. From time to time, Li Jinteng would look at him. Although there was fear and regret in his eyes, there was even more intense hatred. Li Jinteng¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and Zhang Yunjian trembled in fear. ¡°When I instructed Zhang Yunjian to destroy the evidence, the location was in my office. There were no surveillance cameras in my office.¡± Thinking of this, Li Jinteng finally calmed down a little. ¡°President Li, I suggest you appoint someone else to settle your matters because Lawyer Zhang Yunjian might have to follow you in.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the computer again. Immediately, the scene on the big screen changed again. This time, the scene changed to Li Jinteng¡¯s office. Looking at the surveillance footage, the camera was a wide-angle camera that included Li Jinteng¡¯s desk and sofa. On the sofa, Li Jinteng and Zhang Yunjian sat opposite each other. Zhang Yunjian¡¯s arrogant voice came. ¡°President Li, just in case, I suggest that we destroy all the surveillance hard disks and all the computers and servers that might have accessed the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible! There are no surveillance cameras in my office!¡± Li Jinteng couldn¡¯t believe it and couldn¡¯t accept all of this. Zhang Yunjian saw the scene and heard the voice. Her face turned white. She was a lawyer, so she naturally knew that this time¡­ she was finished! The crime was the destruction of evidence! ¡°This is fake. This is an image created by Li Chengqian. Yes, Li Chengqian¡¯s computer skills are so good. This is definitely an image created by him. This is fake! Because there are no surveillance cameras in my office.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re too vicious.¡± Li Jinteng completely lost control of his emotions. If Zhang Yunjian was in charge of Tencent Corporation, he was confident that he would be released soon. If it was someone else, that might not be the case! Thank you for reading on https://www.novelhall.com Chapter 115 - 115 Investigation Report 115 Investigation Report In Li Jinteng¡¯s office, Li Chengqian guided the police to find the hidden pinhole cameras based on the direction of the video. Because the pinhole camera was embedded in a spotlight, the entire light was pulled out. ¡°President Li, look at this. It¡¯s a pinhole camera designed for secretly taking photos.¡± Li Chengqian walked in front of Li Jinteng, whose face was getting more and more dejected, and pointed at the lightbulb that had been transferred into the evidence bag. ¡°From the looks of this camera, it must have been installed for a long time.¡± ¡°I wonder if you¡¯ve done any other shameful things in this office? If you have, you have to be careful.¡± Li Jinteng was furious. ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out who did it. Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°President Li, is there anything else you want to say?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be too arrogant! Too smug!¡± ¡°As the old saying goes, pride goes before a fall.¡± ¡°We are not done yet!¡± Li Jinteng¡¯s voice was filled with hatred and resentment. When Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled disdainfully. He didn¡¯t even look at Li Jinteng and didn¡¯t bother to respond. From the beginning to the end, he had never taken Li Jinteng seriously. From the beginning to the end, Li Jinteng was just the target he had chosen to make an example of. Li Chengqian looked at Wang Xinbo. ¡°Director Wang, I¡¯ve already displayed all the evidence I wanted to show. There¡¯s nothing else.¡± ¡°What do you think we should do next?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll give you an explanation next. I¡¯ll also give the entire country an explanation!¡± Wang Xinbo said with a serious expression. The few videos that Li Chengqian had just found had already explained clearly what happened. He had also obtained the key evidence of this matter. What he had to do next was to publish the results of the investigation on the internet and let everyone know exactly what had happened. He had to give Li Chengqian justice and clear the name of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡­ Wang Xinbo was a fast worker. By 2:30pm, a statement was uploaded on the official website of the Cyberspace Administration Office. [Investigation Report on Complaint Lodged by Tencent Corporation Alleging that Li Chengqian Gained Control of Tencent Corporation¡¯s Servers and Software Via a Virus. Investigations revealed that Mr. Li, CEO of Tencent Corporation, instructed the person-in-charge of the software support department, Mr. Li, to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App as he wanted to steal the source code of the App. During the hacking process, the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯s anti-hacking mechanism was triggered, and it activated control of Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers, software, and equipment. After negotiations broke down, CEO Li and CFO Zhang, held a grudge and resorted to making police reports, initiating legal actions and lodging complaints with the authorities in a bid to exact revenge on the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian. They also destroyed key evidence, and colluded to escape prosecution. With the help of Mr. Li Chengqian of the Divine Dragon Software Company, we recovered key evidence from Tencent Corporation¡¯s servers. Li is now being prosecuted for theft of the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯s source code even though he did not in fact succeed in doing so. This is because he did not voluntarily stop his criminal conduct, and also taking into consideration the amount involved was especially large. Li is now being prosecuted for masterminding and abetting theft. Zhang is now being prosecuted for destruction of evidence of criminal conduct. The next step would be for the court to award compensation and order a public apology to compensate the Divine Dragon Software Company for the financial losses they have suffered, and the damage to their reputation. The internet is not a lawless land! Anyone who breaks the law will be prosecuted.] Many internet companies keep close tabs on releases from the Cyberspace Administration Office. The Cyberspace Administration Office is many news media¡¯s source of official data and statistics. As such very quickly after this statement was released, many official news media reported this story. In addition, the Cyberspace Administration Office also shared this statement on their official Weibo. One million followers wasn¡¯t considered a huge following. However, this was one million genuine followers, most of them were internet practitioners or elites. Therefore, in just 10 minutes, the entire internet industry was shaken by this news. ¡°Li Jinteng has been arrested! Zhang Yunjian has also been arrested! Li Lin has also been arrested! How is this possible!¡± ¡°Oh my god, I thought I was hallucinating, so I went to read the report again. Li Jinteng really got arrested.¡± ¡°There¡¯s been an earthquake! Even Li Jinteng has been arrested! This is a sign of a change in policy direction. Everyone, pay attention and be careful. Don¡¯t do anything to hack the imitators.¡± ¡°The internet is not a lawless land. This is not just lip service. Li Jinteng is living proof.¡± ¡°This Divine Dragon Software Company is too impressive and formidable. They have actually managed to defeat Li Jinteng.¡± ¡°F*ck, the report said that Tencent Corporation hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App and activated the anti-hacking program of the App. A single anti-hacking program was enough to control all the servers and software of Tencent Corporation. If the report is true, Li Chengqian¡¯s technology is simply ground breaking!¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t mentioned it, I wouldn¡¯t have noticed. The report said that the Tencent Corporation had already destroyed the key evidence. It was Li Chengqian who recovered!¡± ¡°F*ck, with Tencent Corporation¡¯s technology, can ordinary people recover the data they destroyed? Impossible. This Li Chengqian is really impressive! I just went to take a look at their website out of curiosity and realized that the data restoration software they developed is used by the entire Jinshan Province Police Department.¡± ¡°I happen to work in the Jinshan Province Police Department. There are 1,897 cases in the backlog that couldn¡¯t be solved as we were not able to recover data from hard disks. We have been using the Divine Dragon data restoration software for two months and have since cracked 1,536 cases and arrested 2,457 people! The Divine Dragon data restoration software has surpassed even the world¡¯s most advanced level!¡± ¡°After reporting the situation to the police department, they are already prepared to go to Tianyi City to discuss cooperation with the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you guys think that the Divine Dragon Software Company is formidable?¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is formidable, but you¡¯ve overlooked one thing. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is even more impressive, okay? An anti-hacking mechanism that controlled all the servers of Tencent Corporation and rendered the three internet big boys, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent helpless.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App can double the performance of a phone, increase its battery life by two times, and allow it to be used for a long time without lagging!¡± ¡°As soon as the Divine Dragon Optimization App was released, all the major phone manufacturers felt so threatened that they joined forces to boycott it.¡± ¡°The most impressive and awesome thing about the Divine Dragon Software Company is the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This software is the only software in the world that can compete with Apple.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is not big yet. If we join the Company now, we might very well become the pioneer employees¡­¡± After the industry elites saw the discussion on the internet, many harbored such thoughts. Once this thought has been formed, it could no longer be suppressed. With the awe inspiring technology that Li Chengqian had displayed, the formidable function of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, and the detrimental blow that had been dealt to the Tencent Corporation this time, barring unforeseen circumstances, it was certain that the Divine Dragon Software Company would grow into one of the leaders of the industry. The only uncertainty was how far the Divine Dragon Software Company would go. Would it become a domestic giant? Or would it become an international giant? Now that the Divine Dragon Software Company was just starting up, it was the best time to join, and gain the status of pioneer employee! ¡°Send your resume! Apply for a job at the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Many technical experts and elites of various industries began to update their resumes and emailed the Company. At this moment, after lay people saw the contents of the report, public sentiments changed directions. Many people went to Tencent Corporation¡¯s Weibo page to leave scathing comments. Within a few minutes, Tencent Corporation¡¯s Weibo page was inundated with reprimands and criticism. ¡°Let¡¯s go scold Wu Botao from Alibaba Company. This bastard misled us. He was the one who said that Tencent Corporation was controlled by the virus!¡± Then, they realized that Wu Botao had already deleted the particular Weibo post and disabled comments on his account. The netizens who hadn¡¯t vented their emotions turned around and scolded Alibaba Corporation on its official Weibo. On the Weibo accounts of several mobile phone manufacturers, a large number of users gathered and continuously posted the same comment. ¡°I want to install the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Remove the installation restrictions.¡± After seeing the Statement, no one doubted the security of the App. If there was really a problem with the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the Statement would definitely mention it. Many people wanted to reinstall the Divine Dragon Optimization App. At this moment, they realized that they could no longer install App after the compulsory system update by the manufacturer! People wanted to install it, but they couldn¡¯t! If they had not installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App before and had not experienced how well it worked, they might not have done anything. However, many people had previously installed the App and experienced how well the App worked. After it was confirmed that there was no problem with the security of the App, everyone couldn¡¯t take it anymore and started protesting! ¡°Restore the legitimate rights and interests of users! I want the right to decide what to install on my phone.¡± ¡°This is a phone manufacturer declaring its hegemony! This is a phone manufacturer bullying consumers.¡± ¡°The installation restrictions on the Divine Dragon Optimization App must be removed.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t respond, we¡¯ll collectively call the Consumers Association to report you.¡± The situation had completely changed. Because of the Statement from the Cyberspace Administration Office, no one spoke ill of the Divine Dragon Optimization App online anymore. On the other hand, the Weibo accounts of several mobile phone manufacturers were already flooded with comments. All the netizens were requesting that the installation restrictions must be removed. They wanted to install the App to make their mobile phones more useful. This change in policy direction placed the management of the major phone manufacturers in a tight spot. If the installation restrictions on the Divine Dragon Optimization App were lifted, it would be hard to sell their new phones. If the installation restrictions were not lifted, the reputation that they had painstakingly built would be completely ruined. Moreover, they would be reported by netizens and the company would be investigated by the authorities. No matter what they did, there would be huge losses. ¡­ ¡°Baidu Corporation, Tencent Corporation¡­ Next, the phone manufacturers! When I take down all the phone manufacturers, I¡¯ll have absolute say in the domestic internet and phone manufacturing industry.¡± Chapter 116 - 116 Special Recruitment Conditions 116 Special Recruitment Conditions At the Divine Dragon Software Company. Ever since the investigation team took the relevant equipment away for investigation, the atmosphere at the Divine Dragon Software Company had been very depressed and tense. The atmosphere in the Company used to be lighthearted and relaxed, it was now dull and somber. Because the future was unknown, no one felt like talking. Then the Cyberspace Administration Office made the official Statement after their investigations. ¡°Everyone, look. The results of the investigations are out!¡± ¡°Everyone, look, the results are out. They have cleared the name of the Divine Dragon Software Company. It was Tencent Corporation that framed us!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. Our company is out of trouble!¡± The heavy mood in the Company was instantly lifted, and there was a buzz in the Company. After everyone finished reading the Statement, they broke into smiles and became cheerful again. There was a hint of pride that they never had before! Even Tencent Corporation wanted to obtain the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App, which meant that the App was extremely advanced. The main evidence this time was recovered from the Tencent Corporation¡¯s server with Li Chengqian¡¯s help. This meant that Li Chengqian¡¯s skills were even better than Tencent Corporation¡¯s. All of this made the employees of the Divine Dragon Software Company feel a sense of pride that they had not felt before. ¡°Our Company is formidable. Our boss, Li Chengqian, is also very formidable! In fact, after this incident, their sense of belonging to the Company had increased greatly. At Li Chengqian¡¯s house, Chen Li and Li Tianlan both had relieved smiles on their faces after they ended the call. They had been on tenterhooks the past few days, afraid that Li Chengqian had broken the law and would be prosecuted. They had not slept well and had been worried. Now that they had received the call from Qin Datong of the Municipal Public Police Department, informing them that Li Chengqian had been cleared of suspicion, they were finally relieved. ¡°It¡¯s good that there¡¯s no more trouble! It¡¯s good that our son is fine!¡± ¡°I knew it. My son is so kind. He definitely won¡¯t do anything bad.¡± ¡°This Li Jinteng guy is too evil. He did something bad and still wants to frame our son. He¡¯s too immoral¡­¡± The old couple cursed angrily. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian had returned to the Academy of Space Technology under the Academy of Sciences. In Academician Gao Xiang¡¯s office, Lin Xiong and Li Chengqian were both present. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ve seen the announcement online! You¡¯re a good guy.¡± In fact, Academician Gao Xiang was pleased. Before Li Chengqian came over, Wang Xinbo had specially called him and reported everything that had happened at Tencent Corporation. Wang Xinbo made it clear that Li Chengqian was innocent and a victim. At the same time, he was very impressed by Li Chengqian¡¯s software technology! ¡°They¡¯re oppressing you, setting you up, and persecuting you. This shows that they¡¯re afraid of you.¡± Academician Gao Xiang was knowledgeable. After thinking for a while, he understood the general situation. ¡°My dear child, don¡¯t be afraid! I¡¯ve already spoken to Academician Lin Qu from the Software Research Institute!¡± Academician Lin Qu was the Director of the Software Research Institute. ¡°This time, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will be even more well known.¡± ¡°Not only will the national media promote it, but our Academy of Space Technology will also promote it.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for us to come up with a world-leading advanced technology. We can¡¯t bury it. We have to make full use of it.¡± While Li Chengqian was at Tencent Corporation, Academician Gao Xiang made a trip to the Software Research Institute for a few reasons. Firstly, he asked the Software Research Institute to help test version 2.0 of the space station operating system. Secondly, he obtained an in-depth understanding of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After understanding that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was a world-leading advanced virtual machine, he immediately decided to do something for the App. ¡°I heard that a few phone manufacturers have joined forces to boycott you because they are afraid that your App will affect sales of their new phones.¡± ¡°This is very shortsighted.¡± ¡°This time, we¡¯ll invite them to participate in the software review meeting together. We will include the Divine Dragon Optimization App into the National Foundational Software Improvement Project in their presence.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see the look on their faces when this happens.¡± Academician Gao Xiang snorted. ¡°Thank you, Academician Gao!¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. He was actually very grateful to Gao Xiang. Before he went to Tencent Corporation, it was Gao Xiang who protected him. He had just returned from Tencent Corporation, and Academician Gao Xiang had helped him contact the relevant departments to help him promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Li Chengqian remembered all of this in his heart. ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony with me. You¡¯ve helped us a lot by solving the bug in the space station operating system. This is nothing.¡± Gao Xiang waved his hand. ¡°Li Chengqian, there¡¯s one more thing I want to hear your opinion on.¡± Gao Xiang changed the topic and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile. ¡°Academician Gao, please speak your mind.¡± ¡°What do you think of the Academy of Sciences?¡± Academician Gao Xiang asked with a smile. After knowing that Li Chengqian was a third-year student who was about to take the university entrance examination, he was tempted! This was the first time he wanted to use his power as the Academician to recruit Li Chengqian as his student. Any teacher would like to have such a genius student. ¡°The sacred land for scientific research in the country! The highest echelon of schools.¡± Li Chengqian said solemnly. To the usual students, the Academy of Sciences might not be as famous as Dragon City University and Tsinghua University, but in terms of scientific research, these two schools pale in comparison. Ninety per cent of academicians in the country graduated from the Academy of Sciences! All kinds of advanced equipment and national defense technologies were developed by the Academy. This proved how authoritative the Academy of Sciences was. After Gao Xiang and Lin Xiong heard Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, smiles appeared on their faces at the same time. ¡°Come to the Academy of Sciences. I¡¯ll be your teacher and guide you. Although I don¡¯t know much about software technology, I can find you the best teachers in all aspects.¡± ¡°If there is a project you are keen on, I can let you participate in the scientific research at the Software Research Institute to improve your hands- on experience.¡± ¡°I can even make you the person-in-charge of a software project and let you lead the development work.¡± ¡°When you join us, all expenses will be taken care of.¡± ¡°After you graduate from high school and join us here, I¡¯ll seek approval for you to work in the Academy of Space Technology. You will be given an official post at the Academy.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± After Gao Xiang finished speaking, he smiled at Li Chengqian. Lin Xiong looked at Li Chengqian enviously. Back then, in order to enter the research institute, he had put in a lot of effort. After graduating, he even worked as an intern for three years, with no compensation. Thousands of people participated in the selection examination to compete for an official position. It was so difficult that if Lin Xiong had to go through the whole process again, he wouldn¡¯t be totally sure if he would make it. As for Li Chengqian, he had yet to graduate from high school, and yet he was offered an official position at the Academy of Space Technology. He just had to say yes. All men are not equal, and comparison is the thief of joy. ¡°The treatment of a genius is indeed different.¡± ¡°However, with Li Chengqian¡¯s talent, as long as he can stay at the Academy of Space Technology, no matter what his terms are, it will be worth it. With Li Chengqian around, the space station will never have any problems with the software system again.¡± ¡°I was still thinking that since I¡¯m going to be Li Chengqian¡¯s teacher, I can only be his senior now.¡± Lin Xiong naturally wouldn¡¯t fight with Gao Xiang over a student. Lin Xiong also looked at Li Chengqian. The be-all and end-all of life is to get an official position. Even many celebrities who earned tens of millions a year were working hard to get an official position. Sixty to seventy per cent of graduates took the civil service examination in a bid to get an official position. Lin Xiong felt that Li Chengqian would definitely agree to such attractive terms. Chapter 117 - 117 Invitation from the Review Committee 117 Invitation from the Review Committee Academician Gao Xiang¡¯s offer was really generous, and his desire to groom Li Chengqian was also very sincere. Even Li Chengqian felt very tempted. After careful consideration, Li Chengqian still decided to turn down the offer. He had the game cheat for the Master of All Professions game and needed unfettered freedom. Only then could he maximize the abilities of the game. Also, he would only be safe with unfettered freedom. Moreover, joining the Academy of Space Technology might expose the secret of the Game. This made it impossible for him to join the Academy of Space Technology. ¡°Academician Gao, thank you for your high regard and trust.¡± Li Chengqian took a deep breath. He stood up and spoke very respectfully to Academician Gao Xiang. ¡°For some special reasons, I can¡¯t accept your invitation.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was very apologetic. When Gao Xiang heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, he was stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t get angry. Instead, he smiled and tried harder to persuade him. ¡°Student Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be in a hurry to turn me down. There¡¯s still some time before the university entrance examination. Go back and think about it carefully.¡± ¡°If you ever decide to join the Academy of Space Technology, as long as I¡¯m still around, you¡¯re always welcome.¡± ¡°If you finally still decide not to join the Academy, I will fully respect your decision.¡± Lin Xiong was astonished, he looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. Li Chengqian had actually turned down such a good offer! ¡°Perhaps Li Chengqian¡¯s ambition is not in scientific research, but in business. Even if that were so, it would help him open doors if he had experience under Academician Gao Xiang,¡­ I don¡¯t understand what young people these days are thinking.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll find an opportunity to persuade him. It¡¯s a pity to give up such an opportunity. Moreover, with Teacher Gao¡¯s support, Li Chengqian¡¯s future path will be much easier.¡± Lin Xiong shook his head. ¡°Academician Gao, thank you so much!¡± Li Chengqian was touched. ¡°Kid, your only shortcoming is that you are too polite!¡± After scolding him teasingly, Academician Gao Xiang changed the topic to the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°I¡¯ve communicated with Academician Lin Qu about the software review meeting for the App. The venue is in the conference room of the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences. The meeting starts at 10am tomorrow.¡± ¡°Lin Xiong and I will accompany you tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Alright, Academician Gao!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. His original purpose for coming to Dragon City was to participate in the software review meeting and get the Divine Dragon Optimization App included in the National Foundational Improvement Project. Things were finally back on track. ¡°I¡¯ve already taken down Baidu and Tencent, two out of three internet giants .¡± Li Chengqian pondered silently. ¡°Next, it¡¯s time to take down the phone manufacturers!¡± ¡­ In the CEO¡¯s office of the Heyme Company, the desperate Lei Che was considering his next step. ¡°This matter is going to be troublesome!¡± Due to the announcement by the Cyberspace Administration Office, many users demanded that the installation restriction on the Divine Dragon Optimization App be lifted. If the restriction was lifted, no one would buy new phones. If the restriction was not lifted, users would be dissatisfied and their reputation would suffer. Previously, in order to counter the Divine Dragon Optimization App, several mobile phone manufacturers had signed a strategic agreement. They would collectively restrict the installation of the App. Under such circumstances, it was unclear if this strategic agreement could continue. If one of them broke the agreement, it would have catastrophic consequences for the other manufacturers. Lei Che was panicking a little about this situation. ¡°Chairman Lei, the Academy of Sciences has invited you to Dragon City to participate in a software review meeting.¡± At this moment, Secretary Xiaotian knocked on the door and entered, handing an invitation to Lei Che. [Mr. Lei Che, you are sincerely invited to participate in the software review meeting held at 10am on 3 April in the conference room of the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences. The details are as follows: ¡­ We look forward to your participation. From: Software Research Institute, Academy of Sciences] Lei Che read the invitation from cover to cover, he didn¡¯t see any other information except for the date and time. ¡°Chairman Lei, the top ten mobile phone manufacturers in the country have all received an invitation from the Academy of Sciences for this software review meeting.¡± ¡°The word out there is that the software to be reviewed this time will have a massive impact on the domestic phone industry.¡± ¡°The review meeting will be chaired by the Director of the Software Research Institute, Academician Lin Qu, and it will be broadcast live on national television.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve asked around. The other manufacturers have also received invitations addressed to their chairman. Some have already decided to attend personally.¡± After listening to the report, Lei Che frowned and said, ¡°Do you know what software it is?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! The information is tightly embargoed. No news has been leaked. Everyone is guessing that the Academy of Sciences have secretly developed a mobile phone system.¡± After hearing this, Lei Che analyzed the situation carefully for a while before making arrangements. ¡°Since the chairman of the other major manufacturers are attending personally, I¡¯ll also do the same.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a mobile phone system secretly developed by the Academy of Sciences, we have to support it.¡± Personally attending the meeting and expressing support were merely symbolic gestures. The form of support and the level of support would depend on what this phone system was about. ¡°Actually, if the mobile phone system secretly developed by the Academy of Sciences is successful, this would be great news for all phone manufacturers.¡± If the national television stations reported it live, it would definitely be able to shift the public¡¯s attention away from the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The domestic mobile phone system had not been released yet. If it was good, a deal could be cut with the Academy of Sciences, the system could be pre-installed on new phones, and that would become a selling point for the new phones. If it was not useful, it could be used as a system update and pushed to the old phones. The new phones would continue to run on the Android system. That way, whether it was useful or not, the public¡¯s attention would be completely attracted by the domestic mobile phone system. People would soon lose interest in the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°Set up a meeting with the chairmen of the other manufacturers and see if they have time to gather. We should discuss and arrive at a unified stand before we go to Dragon City to participate in the software review meeting.¡± It would be more effective and beneficial if all the manufacturers stood united. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact them now.¡± The secretary walked out of Lei Che¡¯s office and started liaising with the other companies. OPPO, Vivo, Huawei, and Meizu were all trying to get in touch with each other after receiving this invitation. They all wanted to know more details of this software review meeting. However, the information was kept very confidential this time. The information that everyone had obtained was incomplete and fragmented. The software for the review was an operating system! It was related to the mobile phone industry. The software was very advanced and was ahead of the entire world. The country attached great importance to it, and the national television stations will be covering the review of the software. What was the company that developed the software? What was its name? What were the specific parameters? What was the purpose of inviting them to participate? However, there was no news at all. However, everyone¡¯s thoughts were similar to Lei Che¡¯s. They all felt that the mobile phone system review meeting hosted by the Software Research Institute was a good thing for them. It could shift the public¡¯s attention from the Divine Dragon Optimization App to the domestic mobile phone system. Although the major manufacturers did not say it explicitly, in fact, everyone¡¯s thoughts were the same. They could not give Divine Dragon a chance to turn the tables on them. They had to curb the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Once the Divine Dragon Optimization App made a comeback, it would cause huge damage to the interests of the various manufacturers. Therefore, after contacting Heyme Corporation, the major companies readily agreed to meet and unify their stand before the review meeting. The meeting was quickly set to be held that very night at the Lihui Hotel, not far from the Software Research Institute. Chapter 118 - 118 Banned by Android 118 Banned by Android Nine thirty the following day. The bosses of the top ten mobile phone manufacturers arrived together, bantering along the way. They arrived at an agreement the night before. They would go all out to ban the Divine Dragon Optimization App, maintain the installation restrictions on the App and would not give the App any chance of turning the table on them. Another exciting piece of good news came from the West. Android had issued a security alert to remind manufacturers that there was a security risk in the Divine Dragon Optimization which could lead to leakage of user data. It was recommended that all manufacturers restrict the installation of the App. The aim was to completely annihilate the Divine Dragon Optimization App! Android had made an urgent update of the system. Although it was claimed to be an emergency security update, it was in actual fact to further strengthen the installation restriction at the system level to prohibit users from installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This system update had already been carried out in other countries. Due to the unique situation in the Divine Dragon Country, Android had already handed the update package to the top ten mobile phone manufacturers the night before, for them to implement the update. This time, the major mobile phone manufacturers also moved very quickly. The work had already begun the night before. Probably after noon the next day, all Android phones would be reinforced. It would be impossible for ordinary users to install the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°This move by Android is drastic! It¡¯s amazing! It had completely cut off the Divine Dragon Optimization App,¡± Qian Yongming, CEO of OPPO, said in high spirits. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App is a software developed based on Android. Android decides if it should live or die.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t blame Android for being vicious. It¡¯s mainly because Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Optimization App are too immoral. It uses the Android system to run the App and then replace the Android virtual machine. Leech, what¡¯s the difference between this immoral method and a parasite?¡± Shen Wansan, CEO of Vivo, criticized Li Chengqian with a smile. ¡°The Android company has taken action to ban it. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is basically finished this time!¡± The Divine Dragon Optimization App is actually very advanced in the enhancement of mobile phone performance, but this software is parasitic on Android. Now that Android has banned it, it¡¯s completely finished,¡± Lei Che of the Heyme Corporation said with a smile. No matter how good a software was, if it couldn¡¯t be installed on the phone, everything would be in vain. After the Divine Dragon Optimization App was banned by the Android system, it no longer posed any threat to the major mobile phone manufacturers. Their new phones could be released normally, and the company would not incur huge losses because of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Soon, the brightly lit venue was filled with people. ¡°It¡¯s quite a big event. The three internet giants are all here.¡± Qian Yongming looked around and realized that there were also people from Tencent Corporation and Alibaba. The boss of Baidu Corporation also valued this meeting enough to attend personally. He even saw the person-in-charge of the National Communications Equipment Manufacturing Company, but he wasn¡¯t too bothered. The National Communications Equipment Manufacturing Company produced low-end machines. Their revenue and profits are very low. Qian Yongming had never taken them seriously. ¡°The reporter from National Television Station One is also here.¡± Qian Yongming was a little surprised as he watched the television crew setting up. He wondered if it could be that the Software Research Institute had really developed something amazing? The National Television Station One would only cover major events, there had to be a serious, major technological breakthrough. The level of breakthrough had to at least reach advanced, international advanced level and be on par with foreign technology. Just then¡­ The big screen in front of the venue lit up. [On-site Software Review Meeting for the Inclusion of the Divine Dragon Optimization App into the National Foundational Software Improvement Project] When he saw the title on the big screen, Qian Yongming from Vivo widened his eyes in disbelief. The reactions of the other mobile phone manufacturers were basically the same as Qian Yongming¡¯s. They were shocked. ¡°It¡¯s actually Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Optimization App!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Optimization App is actually going to be included in the country¡¯s National Foundational Improvement Project. This¡­¡± If it was included in the Project, the country would support it with resources and promote it. This would mean a quantum leap for the product. ¡°Fortunately, the Android system has already banned the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Otherwise¡­¡± Fear was written all over Qian Yongming¡¯s face. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is a virtual machine software based on the Android system. Now that the Android system had banned its installation, there was no platform for the App¡¯s usage. If the Android system hadn¡¯t banned its installation, after this review meeting, they would have to lift the installation ban on the App. Life would be tough for them when that happened. Their sales would plummet and they would be faced with a huge backlog of goods. Losses would be a foregone conclusion. And now, the Android system had prohibited the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They had nothing to do with this. ¡°The installation ban by the Android system was very timely.¡± ¡°Even the heavens are helping us. Even the heavens want the Divine Dragon Optimization App to perish.¡± ¡°Even if the country promotes it now, the Divine Dragon Optimization App won¡¯t be able to make a comeback.¡± The reason was very simple. The country could control the phone manufacturers, but the country couldn¡¯t tell Android what to do. ¡­ Lin Xiong slammed his hand on the table. He, who had been gentlemanly, cursed, ¡°Damn it, Android is too much!¡± ¡°Seeing that the Divine Dragon Optimization App virtual machine developed by our country is more advanced than theirs, they decided to ban it.¡± ¡°How shameless!¡± Academician Lin Qu, the director of the Software Research Institute, was very calm. He had encountered such a situation more than once. Although he was furious, he held back his anger, he wouldn¡¯t show it like Lin Xiong. ¡°This is the consequence of having foundational software controlled by others. Just like this time, because the Divine Dragon Optimization App runs on the Android system, it has banned the App at the system level. Thus the App cannot be used even though it is very advanced.¡± ¡°This is why our country wants to set up a National Foundational Software Improvement Project to make up for our shortcomings! We have to do it at all costs.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t want to be held ransom, exhorted or restricted by others.¡± ¡°Academician Gao Xiang, why isn¡¯t Li Chengqian here yet?¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at the time. It was already 9:40am. Gao Xiang said with a worried expression, ¡°Last night, after we received the news that the Android system was going to completely shut down the Divine Dragon Optimization App, Li Chengqian went out. He said that he was going to completely resolve the problem.¡± ¡°This child is the most talented person I¡¯ve ever met in software programming¡­¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App was built on the foundation of the Android system. To solve the installation restriction, he needs to study the updated Android system and update the App¡¯s code to match it.¡± ¡°I think he can do it.¡± Academician Gao Xiang nodded affirmatively. ¡°After looking at the Divine Dragon Optimization App he developed, as well as the space station operating system version 2.0, this is not difficult for Li Chengqian.¡± Academician Lin Qu also nodded. He also felt that Li Chengqian was capable of doing so. ¡°However, the Android system is not in our hands. The Divine Dragon Optimization App has just been adapted, and the Android system was updated. Once again, the Divine Dragon Optimization App was banned. We are forever held ransom by the Android system. The only way to completely solve this problem is to develop our own system so that it is within our control¡­¡± Academician Lin Qi sighed, his eyes filled with yearning. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, we can¡¯t develop a system overnight. Let¡¯s resolve the issue of the Divine Dragon Optimization App for now.¡± Academician Gao Xiang shook his head and pulled Lin Qu back to reality. ¡°Lin Xiong, call and ask where Li Chengqian is. Ask him if the problem has been resolved.¡± Gao Xiang¡¯s expression was solemn as he spoke to the furious Lin Xiong. As there were many people invited to the Divine Dragon Optimization App Review Meeting, National Television Station One was on site to do live coverage of the event. If the software to be reviewed couldn¡¯t be run properly, or if the developer of the software didn¡¯t show up, the event would become a laughing stock. This would be a huge blow to the National Foundational Software Improvement Project. ¡°Academician Gao, the problem is completely solved!¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian walked in with his computer. He was pale and exhausted. His body couldn¡¯t help but twitch slightly. He looked like he was trembling. His hair was greasy, and he looked extremely disheveled. Because he had stayed up all night and kept using the Skills, his eyes were bloodshot. However his eyes were still lively and his gaze was extremely determined. In one night, he had used up all the two bottles of wolfberries he had brought. The Divine Dragon operating system core had been 100% completed. The other supporting modules had also been completed. Even if it was banned by the Android system, the Divine Dragon Optimization App could operate perfectly on the core of the Divine Dragon operating system. In fact, using the Divine Dragon Optimization App on the Divine Dragon Operating System would improve the system¡¯s performance by leaps and bounds. With the same hardware, the performance of the system could be up to four times better. The usage of memory was more efficient, and less memory space would be used. Even if a phone was left on for a year, it wouldn¡¯t lag at all. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you alright?¡± Gao Xiang was very worried to see Li Chengqian¡¯s appearance. ¡°Academician Gao, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go to the venue. There are many companies and many people waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. We can¡¯t disappoint them.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. He was indeed very tired, but now was not the time to rest. Chapter 119 - 119 Fatal Issue 119 Fatal Issue At ten o¡¯clock, the software review meeting officially began. Li Chengqian stood tiredly in the dissertation seat and looked around the venue. In the end, his gaze landed on the area where the phone manufacturers sat. At the area where the phone manufacturers sat, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with confidence and smugness. They looked at Li Chengqian with pity. Academician Lin Qu was the host of this software review meeting. He walked onto the stage and started his introduction. ¡°Welcome to this software review meeting.¡± ¡°The software for this review is the Divine Dragon Optimization App, developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°This is a mobile phone operating system virtual machine software similar to the Android virtual machine.¡± ¡°Our Software Research Institute has conducted a comprehensive test on the performance, safety, and stability of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Please look at the big screen for the results of the tests¡­¡± The information flashed on the big screen was refreshed in tandem with Academician Lin Qu¡¯s introduction. The content displayed changed to the test results of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The Android system was tested side by side with the Divine Dragon Optimization App. ¡°The performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App is 2.2 times that of the Android virtual machine.¡± ¡°Memory management is 2.4 times more efficient than the Android virtual machine.¡± ¡­ Lin Qu went through in detail the various performance indicators of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Each indicator was more advanced than the Android virtual machine. ¡°Based on the results of the tests, I think the performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App is completely superior to that of the Android virtual machine. It has reached the level of a world leader.¡± Academician Lin Qu had a proud smile on his face. The development of any world leading technology was something to be happy about. ¡°The Divine Dragon Optimization App has broken the monopoly that foreign players have on technology. This is a delightful technological advancement. It will also increase the confidence of everyone in the country who is involved in the basic software industry¡­¡± ¡°Although virtual machines are not operating systems, they are an important part of the operating system. With the Divine Dragon Optimization App virtual machine as the foundation, I believe that we are not far from developing a fully domestic mobile phone operating system.¡± ¡°I propose that we include the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the country¡¯s National Foundational Software Improvement Project to support it.¡± ¡°Next, we invite all the experts to share their views on this proposal to include the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the country¡¯s National Foundational Software Improvement Project.¡± Lin Qu¡¯s gaze fell on the experts¡¯ seats. ¡°The performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App surpasses that of the Android virtual machine and breaks the technology monopoly of foreign countries. I¡­¡± The first expert to speak was Shi Xiangyang. He was the Deputy Director of the Software Research Institute. He knew the performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, and was naturally supportive of the proposal. However, before Shi Xiangyang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Qinglan¡¯s loud voice. ¡°Hello, expert. I¡¯m Zhang Qinglan from the OPPO. May I ask a question?¡± Zhang Qinglan raised his hand and stood up. ¡°Sure, go ahead.¡± Shi Xiangyang frowned. He was interrupted by Zhang Qinglan before he could finish speaking. He did not like such impolite behavior. ¡°Last night, the Android system released a risk notification. It said that there are huge safety risks in the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°Right on the heels of that, the Android system underwent a system security update. From the system level, users are prohibited from installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°According to Android¡¯s requirements, our domestic phones will also complete the system security reinforcement today. The installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App will be prohibited.¡± Seeing that the experts were all frowning, Zhang Qinglan pretended to be serious, but he was smiling in his heart. He continued, ¡°I know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App has been tested by the Software Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences. It¡¯s safe and reliable. There are no security risks.¡± ¡°I also know that the Divine Dragon Optimization App¡¯s performance has reached world standards.¡± ¡°However, the App is a virtual machine software developed based on the Android system. Now, it has been banned by the Android system.¡± ¡°This leads to a problem. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is very advanced, but it can¡¯t be used. There¡¯s no use for it.¡± At this point, Zhang Qinglan looked at Li Chengqian, who was on the stage with a tired expression and bloodshot eyes. From the moment Li Chengqian appeared on stage, he knew that Li Chengqian definitely didn¡¯t sleep the night before. He must have been caught off guard by the sudden announcement and system update from Android. Anyone faced with such a situation wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep. Li Chengqian must have stayed up late to solve the issue of the Android system¡¯s installation ban. However, since Android had already taken action, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to resolve it. ¡°I want to ask the experts, as well as Mr. Li Chengqian, the developer of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, how can this problem be resolved?¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t solve this problem, the Divine Dragon Optimization App can¡¯t be popularized and can¡¯t serve the public. Then, is there still a need for the Divine Dragon Optimization App to be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project?¡± Zhang Qinglan had said all that so as to lay the ground for asking this question. There was only one point he was trying to make. His point was that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was not qualified to be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project! There were reporters from the national television station. The media were watching. He believed that even Academician Lin Qu wouldn¡¯t dare to act rashly ¡°Li Chengqian, everything has been going smoothly for you recently. You¡¯re too arrogant. You thought that you could use the country¡¯s National Foundational Software Improvement Project, the country¡¯s national television station and the software review meeting to promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App and salvage the reputation of the App.¡± ¡°At the same time, you want to use this opportunity to attack us phone manufacturers.¡± In fact, if not for the sudden announcement and updates issued by the Android system, Li Chengqian¡¯s sinister plan would have almost succeeded. ¡°Unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, man proposes god disposes! Even the heavens are helping us!¡± ¡°You definitely didn¡¯t expect the Android system to suddenly update and strengthen the system, right?¡± ¡°This is called shooting oneself in the foot!¡± ¡°After today, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will become history. You, Li Chengqian, will also be the first person to appear on television and end up not having the software included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project. What a joke.¡± Zhang Qinglan was very proud, but with the national television station around, he could only hold it in and not laugh out loud. In the audience, when they heard Zhang Qinglan¡¯s question, all the phone manufacturers laughed in their hearts. ¡°Since this matter has alarmed Android, there won¡¯t be any future for the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian invited us to this software review meeting to catch us off guard. He wanted to show off to us in public. Unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, man proposes god disposes. He has embarrassed himself instead.¡± ¡°In the face of Android, the Divine Dragon Optimization App is nothing.¡± Qian Yongming shook his head. Was there any software in this world that was better than Android? There were, and there were many. However, as long as the software was based on the Android system, Android had absolute control. In the face of Android, these software were powerless.. There were only two outcomes for such softwares. The first was to be acquired by Android and become one of the nutrients for the growth of the Android system, making the Android system even stronger. The second was to be banned from installation by Android. Without an operating environment, no matter how good the software was, it would disappear. No one would remember that such a software ever existed. Everyone would only remember Android. This was the power and terror of Android! Because of Zhang Qinglan¡¯s question, Expert Shi Xiangyang frowned tightly, especially when he saw the camera focused on him on the national television station. He felt that the situation was very tricky. At the same time, he was also holding back his anger. He was very uneasy and angry about Android¡¯s bully tactics. However, there was nothing he could do besides being angry. After thinking about it again and again, Shi Xiangyang said, ¡°Li Chengqian, I think the question raised by Mr. Zhang Qinglan from the OPPO just now is very relevant. Please share your opinion and proposed solution.¡± The other experts also turned and looked at Li Chengqian. The cameras of the national television station were also focused on Li Chengqian. The people from the various phone manufacturers were also waiting to see Li Chengqian make a fool of himself. Opinion? Proposal? At this point, what other opinions could he have? What other proposals could he have? At most, he could only continue to research and see if there was a way to break through the restrictions of the Android system. Even if he could break through the restrictions of the Android system this time, what about the next time? What about next time? He won¡¯t be able to convince the experts, nor the mobile phone manufacturers present, let alone the people. It could be said that from the moment the Android system banned the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it was completely useless in the Android system! There could be no future. Chapter 120 - 120 Developing a New System 120 Developing a New System ¡°They¡¯re adding insult to injury. These people are simply adding insult to injury. Teacher, look at these people¡¯s faces. They¡¯re really too detestable!¡± After Lin Xiong heard Zhang Qinglan¡¯s words, anger was written on his face. He turned around and looked at where the phone manufacturers were. Coincidentally, he saw most of the phone manufacturers smiling smugly. Lin Xiong became even angrier. ¡°The Android system banned the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This behavior is akin to holding us ransom. Every countryman should be furious, but for their own commercial benefit, they¡¯re laughing and feeling smug!¡± ¡°Lin Xiong, don¡¯t be anxious.¡± Academician Gao Xiang continued calmly, ¡°Li Chengqian just said that the problem has been resolved. We just have to wait and see.¡± ¡°Also, regardless of whether the problem of the Android installation ban has been resolved, the Divine Dragon Optimization App will definitely be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project. We will support it in terms of funding, publicity, projects, and so on.¡± ¡°Back then, other countries banned us from making nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, ballistic missiles, and nuclear submarines.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve developed our own now!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t stop them from banning it. Similarly, they can¡¯t stop us from supporting it.¡± ¡°We are not going to give up just because they banned it. The more they ban it, the more we must support it. We have to get it developed at all costs.¡± Academician Gao Xiang¡¯s expression was very calm, but his tone was firm and resolute. ¡­ On the defense seat, Li Chengqian looked intently at Zhang Qinglan. Li Chengqian knew that Zhang Qinglan was actually just a representative of the mobile phone manufacturer. His speech represented the thoughts of all the mobile phone manufacturers and also their interests. Then, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Li Chengqian said, ¡°First of all, the Android system prohibits the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. This has no effect on phones that have already installed the App in the past.¡± ¡°There are still about 130,000 phones that have the App installed.¡± After Li Chengqian said 130,000 units, Zhang Qinglan smiled. This number was pittance! OPPO shipped about 200 million cell phones a year. 130,000? What on earth! The other phone manufacturers present also laughed. There was a hint of mockery, disdain, and smugness in their smiles. After being banned by the Android system, the number of installations would only decrease and eventually the software would completely disappear. Under everyone¡¯s increasingly contemptuous gazes, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°For any software that relies on the Android system, being banned from installation by the Android system is like a plant losing the soil to grow. This is a fatal blow.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still clear-headed and knows that he¡¯s dead meat! He knows that there¡¯s no future in the Divine Dragon Optimization App.¡± Zhang Qinglan chuckled softly. ¡°After receiving the message about the ban by the Android system, I tried to change the code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App so that the App was once again suitable for the Android system and we can bypass the installation restrictions of the Android system.¡± ¡°This time, Android did an emergency system update. Perhaps it was cracked by Li Chengqian because they weren¡¯t prepared enough. However, the next Android system update won¡¯t be so easy to crack. It will definitely destroy the Divine Dragon Optimization App directly. There won¡¯t be any chance to get up again.¡± Zhang Qinglan shook his head. Android was serious. It was not something Li Chengqian could fight. ¡°But this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!¡± Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, Li Chengqian exposed his shortcomings. ¡°What is Li Chengqian thinking? Why did he reveal his weakness?¡± Lin Xiong didn¡¯t understand. If he exposed his weakness now, the phone manufacturers would have an excuse to attack Li Chengqian later. Even Zhang Qinglan didn¡¯t understand, not to mention Lin Xiong. ¡°Is Li Chengqian¡¯s brain fried?¡± The phone manufacturers didn¡¯t understand why Li Chengqian would say that. Li Chengqian took a look and continued, ¡°So, let¡¯s not talk about treating the symptoms. Today, I¡¯ll tell everyone about treating the root issue!¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t crack the restrictions of the Android system! Li Chengqian made it sound so fresh and refined. I¡¯m impressed!¡± Zhang Qinglan almost laughed out loud. In his opinion, Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t found a way to crack the restrictions of the Android system the entire night. ¡°Hehe, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t crack the restrictions of the Android system.¡± Qian Yongming of OPPO shared the same sentiments as the other manufacturers. ¡°Because the time is too tight, my method is not perfect. I only have a general framework. Everyone, please look at the big screen.¡± Li Chengqian connected the big screen to his laptop and opened the PowerPoint presentation he had prepared. ¡°The solution is actually very simple. Since Android doesn¡¯t want to play with us anymore and doesn¡¯t want the Divine Dragon Optimization APP to be installed, then¡­ we¡¯ll build our own mobile phone system and our own application ecology!¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, a line of words appeared on the big screen. [Divine Dragon Phone System Usage Manual] Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian in shock. ¡°Li Chengqian said that it¡¯s settled. Is this what he meant?¡± He had always thought that Li Chengqian¡¯s solution was to crack the installation restriction of the Android system! It could allow the Divine Dragon Optimization App to be installed on the updated Android phones. ¡°Why didn¡¯t this kid tell me in advance?¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s mind raced. He was thinking about how to deal with it later and help Li Chengqian explain. Developing their own mobile operating system and establishing its own ecology sounded easy, but it was actually extremely challenging. ¡°Haha, set up your own phone system? Is Li Chengqian preparing to set it up with PowerPoint?¡± Zhang Qinglan almost burst out laughing. ¡°This has been quite a blow to Li Chengqian. He¡¯s starting to spout nonsense.¡± Qian Yongming also shook his head. If it were really that easy to develop a universal mobile phone system, they would have done so for themselves long ago. In the entire world, only Windows, Apple, and Google were able to create mobile phone systems. Even a world-class giant like Microsoft had failed to invest in the mobile phone system and ended up exiting the market! Li Chengqian wanted to set up a mobile phone system? He was simply talking nonsense. How could Li Chengqian possibly come up with a phone system that even the country did not come up with! Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care about the disdain and disbelief shown by the others. After he clicked the mouse, an architectural diagram appeared on the screen. [Divine Dragon Phone System Architecture Map] ¡°I¡¯ll temporarily name the mobile phone system as the Divine Dragon Phone System.¡± ¡°The system kernel is built using a microkernel method¡­¡± The kernel naturally used the Divine Dragon operating system kernel. The construction mode was similar to version 2.0 of the space station operating system, but it was more complete than the space station¡¯s functions. ¡°Above the kernel layer, we will use the Divine Dragon Optimization App as a virtual machine so that the Divine Dragon mobile phone system can be compatible with all Android apps. This way, the Divine Dragon mobile phone system can use Android software.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to build an application ecology separately. Android¡¯s application ecology is the application ecology of the Divine Dragon mobile phone system.¡± Since the Android system felt that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was too much, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t mind going even further. ¡°Li Chengqian is shameless!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t say. Can the Divine Dragon Optimization App really do this!¡± With the Divine Dragon Optimization App installed, not only could the phone run Android software, but the efficiency was even higher than the Android virtual machine! ¡°However, the virtual machine is only a small part of Android! Without Android as the foundation, it¡¯s impossible for the Divine Dragon Optimization App to run.¡± In addition to the Android virtual machine, the Android system also had a large number of operating libraries. Although these libraries were also open-source, if they wanted to integrate these libraries into the new system, even OPPO might not succeed if it got thousands of developers to work on this for a year. ¡°If Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t start a business, it¡¯s simply a waste. With his PowerPoint bragging skills, any PowerPoint would immediately be worth billions!¡± ¡°When I heard this, I felt that this sounded so familiar¡­ I remember now. Isn¡¯t this the sales pitch of CEO Jia, a scammer?¡± Qian Yongming said with a look of realization. CEO Jia was also an expert in PowerPoint presentations. He set up a company and scammed investors¡¯ hundreds of billions of yuan worth of funds by going around with his PPT. He then left the country with the funds. ¡°Li Chengqian, you can brag however you want. You have to be able to develop the system core first. Without the core, what are you bragging about!¡± Wu Botao came over on behalf of Alibaba. His face was filled with disdain, feeling that Li Chengqian was bragging. The others basically thought the same! The universal phone system was not something Li Chengqian could do. Li Chengqian was a small fry, he was not qualified at all. Chapter 121 - 121 Disbelief 121 Disbelief ¡°Dear experts, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has been installed on this phone.¡± After Li Chengqian finished introducing the system structure, he displayed an entry-level phone from three years ago, the White Mi Note 10. ¡°Snapdragon 439 mobile platform, 4GB RAM!¡± Li Chengqian projected his phone onto the big screen. ¡°After installing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, it only takes 10 seconds to start up the phone! Six times faster than Android!¡± At the same time, when Li Chengqian pressed the power on button, a timed graphics appeared on the big screen. A majestic divine dragon flashed on the screen together with the words ¡®Divine Dragon System¡¯. The color of the screen gradually changed and transitioned to the desktop smoothly. ¡°There was no lag at all! When using the Android system, I could clearly feel the lag!¡± Li Chengqian swiped the screen left and right very smoothly. The entire process was projected on the big screen. ¡°After the phone is turned on, the memory usage of the system is 500 MB.¡± Li Chengqian swiped up and pulled out the memory usage report. ¡°The AnTuTu performance score is 400,000 points! When using Android, the score is 90,000 points! The performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is 4.4 times that of Android.¡± Li Chengqian clicked on AnTuTu. He already had a performance score of 400,000 points, but he still chose to run the test again. Originally, the conference room was still a little noisy. At this moment, other than Li Chengqian¡¯s voice, there was no other sound. Everyone held their breaths and stared at the big screen without blinking. The performance test was done before long! 405,789 points! Everyone was shocked to see this score! The performance of this entry-level phone three years ago was almost comparable to this year¡¯s new mid-end phone! ¡°The usage of commonly used software is very smooth!¡± Li Chengqian continued to demonstrate. He used all the commonly used software such as WeChat, QQ, Douyin, JD.com, Taobao, and even demonstrated League of Legends once. They all ran very smoothly without any lag. ¡°All the software I used just now has not been closed! I merely minimized them. If I want to call them out, I can do so instantly.¡± Li Chengqian clicked on the icons of the various software, and the software instantly returned to its previous states. ¡°Now, these software are running in the background, and the phone is still not lagging. Let¡¯s take a look at the memory usage now¡­ Out of 4 GB of memory, the current memory usage is 0.8 GB, and there¡¯s still 3.2 GB available. This is the application freeze technology of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. It allows the application that has been minimized and running in the background to maintain the state before it was minimized, while using very minimal memory space. If there¡¯s a need, it can be restored instantly.¡± Li Chengqian swiped his phone, and the memory usage appeared. ¡°Let¡¯s turn off all the apps and take a look at the memory usage¡­ The memory usage is 500 MB, exactly the same as when it was turned on. This is the memory optimization technology unique to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. It allows the phone to be left powered on for a whole year and it¡¯s as smooth as when it was first turned on.¡± During the presentation, Li Chengqian divided the big screen into two halves. One half was used to project the phone screen, and the other half was used to show the user manual for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Ding dong¡­ A WeChat message notification appeared on the top of his phone. Ding Ling had sent a message. Li Chengqian opened it, and the WeChat messaging interface was instantly called out. ¡°Li Chengqian, when are you coming back?¡± Ding Ling asked. ¡°These are the information interface technology and pre-start technology. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System can receive information sent by the software when it¡¯s not running. When the user uses it, it can be quickly activated. After the user closes the chat interface, it will automatically close!¡± ¡°Memory usage is 500 MB!¡± After Li Chengqian closed the chat interface, he swiped upwards, and the memory usage appeared again. Then, Li Chengqian placed his phone on the table and his gaze landed on Zhang Qinglan, who was at the back of the venue. Li Chengqian¡¯s calm voice sounded. ¡°I want to ask Mr. Zhang Qinglan, are you satisfied with my plan?¡± ¡°Do you think the Divine Dragon Optimization App is qualified to be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project?¡± From the moment Li Chengqian started demonstrating the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, everyone was extremely shocked. Everyone followed Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration and felt that it was surreal. A low-end introductory level phone from three years ago had long been classified as electronic trash. After installing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, its performance had increased by four times, and its performance was comparable to a current mainstream phone. Moreover, no matter how many apps he opened, the phone would not hang. No matter how long he used them, there would be no lag! At the same time, all the apps of the Android system could be retained, without having to create another application ecology. Application freeze technology! Memory optimization technology! Information interface technology and pre-start technology! These future technologies had already been realized on the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was even more awesome than the iOS! If what Li Chengqian said was true, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would straightaway become the most advanced phone system in the world. Even the iOS was no match for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. ¡°Good! That¡¯s great!¡± Academician Lin Qu was the first to recover from his shock. He suddenly stood up, his face flushed with excitement, and cheered loudly. In fact, he was a little teary. ¡°We also have our own mobile phone operating system that we can use!¡± Academician Lin Qu was extremely excited. Have there been attempts to develop a mobile phone system in the country before? Yes! But in the end, because there was no other software support, the projects all failed. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System that Li Chengqian had created was directly applicable to the Android application ecology. It could directly use the Android app, and thus ecology was no longer a problem. This meant that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was destined to succeed! It had already won half the battle. Moreover, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would definitely receive the support of the country regardless of the cost. It¡¯s not fun to be held ransom. ¡°Li Chengqian, this child, what a talent!¡± ¡°This plan is amazing! The Android system has restricted installation, so he created an operating system himself to provide the foundation for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Li Chengqian, this kid, has definitely been preparing for this for a long time! He has definitely worked on this operating system for a long time!¡± Gao Xiang also stood up with excitement and kept clapping for Li Chengqian. Under the lead of Lin Qu and Gao Xiang, the other judges and experts also stood up and clapped hard. ¡°This kid is simply a monster. The Android system banned the installation of his Divine Dragon Optimization App, so he built an operating system for the App himself. This technology is amazing, simply unbelievable.¡± The experts looked at Li Chengqian with respect. The people from the phone manufacturers seemed to have woken up from a dream amidst the applause. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Do you believe it? Do you think this is true?¡± Qian Yongming¡¯s voice was filled with disbelief. What Li Chengqian displayed was definitely not a newly developed mobile phone system, but the future direction of mobile phone systems. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Lei Che replied solemnly. He came from a technical background, so he knew even better how difficult it was to achieve what Li Chengqian had just presented. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it either!¡± Shen Wansan also replied in a low voice. After a quiet discussion, Zhang Qinglan represented the collective position of the phone manufacturers. He stood up from his seat and replied, ¡°Mr. Li, the phone system you showed us just now shocked us.¡± ¡°Even Apple can¡¯t improve the performance of the phone system to this extent in ten years. It¡¯s also impossible to develop so many new technologies.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System you¡¯ve presented is the future of mobile phone systems. It¡¯s ahead of its time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s precisely because it¡¯s too advanced that it doesn¡¯t match the current technology level. Therefore, please show us more evidence to prove that what you said is true!¡± Although Zhang Qinglan didn¡¯t say it, he meant that Li Chengqian was bragging! That was what he meant. ¡°Then may I ask President Zhang, how do you need me to prove it?¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t upset. He glanced at the phone manufacturers and smiled. He smiled brightly. ¡°This is my cell phone. I want to ask Mr. Li to install the so-called Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System into this phone and demonstrate it to us again according to the steps just now.¡± Zhang Qinglan took out the spare phone and showed it to Li Chengqian. He clearly didn¡¯t believe it and felt that Li Chengqian¡¯s presentation just now was just a lie and show. ¡°Of course, I also want to ask Mr. Li to compare the file directory of the so-called Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System with the file directory of the Android system.¡± ¡°After all, the scientific research fraud incident a few years ago dealt a huge blow to the country¡¯s reputation, although I don¡¯t think Mr. Li would do such a shameless thing.¡± ¡°However, there¡¯s no harm in being more rigorous!¡± Zhang Qinglan said with a smile. They had just discussed that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System might very well be the Android system that had cracked the installation restrictions! Chapter 122 - 122 Upheaval 122 Upheaval ¡°Mr. Zhang, do you have any other requests?¡± Li Chengqian asked Zhang Qinglan with a smile. ¡°No.¡± Seeing the bright smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face, Zhang Qinglan became a little somber. ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask everyone here one last time. Is there anything else you need to ask?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes turned to the phone manufacturers. There was silence on the ground. No one answered. ¡°Alright! Since no one has any other questions, I¡¯ll answer Mr. Zhang¡¯s questions one by one.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm. He projected the computer screen onto the big screen once again so that everyone could see his operations clearly. Then, he opened the official website of the Android system and began to download the latest version of the Android system. ¡°A system downloaded from the official website. That would be more authoritative.¡± ¡°It just so happens that it will take some time to download it now.¡± ¡°While we are waiting, we can use this time to install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System into Mr. Zhang¡¯s phone.¡± Li Chengqian connected Zhang Qinglan¡¯s phone to the computer. Then, he opened a folder containing the installation file of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Li Chengqian called up the command-line tool and quickly entered a few lines of code. A progress bar appeared on the computer screen. One minute later, the progress bar reached 100%. Then, Zhang Qinglan¡¯s phone screen lit up. In the middle of the screen, the majestic divine dragon icon was lifelike. Under the icon was a line of words. Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System! The progress bar was at the bottom, and the progress bar kept moving rapidly, like a flying dragon. [Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System Installation Complete!] The screen dimmed and entered the phone¡¯s desktop. The desktop of the phone was exactly the same as the White Mi phone that Li Chengqian demonstrated earlier. ¡°Why is this desktop exactly the same as the White Mi phone?¡± Someone below the stage asked in confusion. Li Chengqian said calmly, ¡°I explained at the beginning that only the general framework of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has been completed. The details still need some work.¡± ¡°At the moment, we don¡¯t have a dedicated desktop software, but because the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is compatible with Android apps, I chose the White Mi phone¡¯s desktop out of convenience.¡± ¡°Alright, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has been installed on the phone provided by Mr. Zhang.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll follow Mr. Zhang¡¯s request and demonstrate it again on this phone.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he projected the phone onto the big screen. ¡°The first thing is the time it takes to power up the phone and enter the desktop!¡­ The time it takes to power up is five seconds! If we use the latest hardware, the speed should be about three seconds.¡± After Li Chengqian turned off the phone, he pressed the power button while counting down. The majestic golden dragon on the screen flashed and disappeared, directly entering the phone¡¯s desktop. The power up speed was more than ten times faster than before! In the past, it took more than one minute to power up the phone. Li Chengqian swiped the phone screen left and right. It was extremely smooth. ¡°This phone is now working smoothly. Let me take a look at the memory usage¡­ The memory usage is 500 MB, and the remaining memory is 7.5 GB!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is a closed system. All software can only be installed through the built-in app store¡­ Mr. He, do you have all the commonly used apps in the app store?¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he looked at He Hongyan, CEO of Baidu Corporation, who was sitting in the VIP seat. ¡°President Li, I¡¯ve already integrated all the software data from the Baidu App Assistant into the Divine Dragon App Store. All the commonly used software is there!¡± He Hongyan replied in a low voice, feeling very excited. Some time ago, he didn¡¯t understand why Li Chengqian had tasked him with the management of the Divine Dragon App Store and asked him to put up all kinds of software in the Divine Dragon App Store. He understood why now! It was all for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System! ¡°If the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System really became popular in the world, the Divine Dragon App Store, as the only gateway for the distribution of software for the Phone System, will definitely be a profitable business! If the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System can reach the scale of Apple¡­ Hiss!¡± He Hongyan¡¯s heart beat violently. Apple¡¯s app store revenue was 700 billion yuan per annum. Apple took a 30% cut, which was equivalent to 210 billion yuan! For Baidu Corporation, its annual net profit was only 16 billion yuan. It would take 13 years to earn that much money! Li Chengqian opened the app store and installed the same software that was on the White Mi phone into Zhang Qinglan¡¯s phone one by one. He opened the relevant software one by one. ¡°The phone worked very smoothly, and all the software was opened very quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because Mr. Zhang¡¯s phone hardware is very good. There¡¯s not much difference in using daily software.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use AnTuTu to run a performance test!¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he had already opened the AnTuTu app and clicked on it. All eyes were on the big screen. Before long, an incredible score appeared on the big screen. 3.1 million points! The phone that Zhang Qinglan provided was a Find X3 Pro. Under normal circumstances, the performance score was 740,000 points! ¡°After using the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, the performance of this phone has increased by more than four times!¡± ¡°After minimizing all the software to the background, the current memory usage is 900 MB! When it comes to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, 8 GB of memory is too wasteful!¡± ¡°After turning off all the apps on the phone, the memory usage is still¡­ 500 MB. This ensures that no matter how long the phone is used, it won¡¯t hang.¡± After Li Chengqian finished his demonstration, he placed his phone on the table and looked at the experts and the guests. The experts couldn¡¯t help but stand up. Loud applause sounded in the conference room. All the experts were excited! ¡°Amazing! The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is brilliant!¡± ¡°After testing, the performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is more than four times that of the Android system!¡± ¡°I agree to include the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System must receive the greatest support from the country!¡± All the experts looked at Li Chengqian with admiration and respect. The mobile phone system demonstrated by Li Chengqian was unbelievably good and had undergone tests and verification. No matter what the core of the phone was, one thing was certain! The Divine Dragon Optimization App was superior to the Android virtual machine! It was true that the Android system banned the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. However, Li Chengqian had already completed the construction of the new system. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System could be installed on any mobile phone independently and promoted nationwide. As for the mobile phone manufacturers in the guest seats, from the start of the demonstration, their eyes had widened. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with extreme shock and disbelief. As Zhang Qinglan¡¯s phone was used for the demonstration, it was naturally impossible to fake it! That meant that everything Li Chengqian demonstrated was true! It was also true that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System surpassed Android¡¯s performance! It was also true that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was compatible with Android¡¯s original application ecology. ¡°The mobile phone industry is about to change! There will be an upheaval.¡± This thought came to the minds of all the mobile phone manufacturers. Now, there was only one uncertain factor! Was the system that carried the Divine Dragon Optimization App adapted from the Android system, or was it really a completely domestically-produced system core developed by Li Chengqian. If it was adapted from the Android system, the manufacturers would still have something to say. If the system core was really a fully domesticated system core developed by Li Chengqian, then his name will be known throughout the world. Because Li Chengqian had solved the problem of being held ransom by other countries, Li Chengqian would become a hero! Other than lowering their heads, admitting defeat and apologizing to Li Chengqian, these mobile phone manufacturers had no other choice. Chapter 123 - 123 Missing Core Document 123 Missing Core Document Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stop because of the applause from the experts. He continued, ¡°Just now, Mr. Zhang raised another question!¡± ¡°We need to compare the directories and file sizes of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System with the Android System.¡± ¡°Mr. Zhang actually suspects that I cracked the installation restrictions of the Android system and installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App into the Android system, and passed it off as a new system.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just like how some companies added a layer of skin to the Android system and claimed that it¡¯s this UI system, or that OS system. They also claimed to have some photography technology and heat-dissipating technology.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes swept across all the phone manufacturers, and there was a hint of ridicule in his smile. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± He Hongyan couldn¡¯t help but chuckle softly. The experts also laughed because of Li Chengqian¡¯s insinuation. The phone manufacturers felt embarrassed deep inside, but they didn¡¯t show it on their faces. They acted as if they didn¡¯t know Li Chengqian was talking about them. Although Zhang Qinglan appeared unabashed, he still felt very embarrassed inside, especially when the national television station¡¯s cameras shifted to him after Li Chengqian¡¯s words. He forced himself to remain calm, but he felt extremely uneasy. ¡°I can completely understand Mr. Zhang¡¯s concerns!¡± Li Chengqian continued. ¡°Alright, the latest version of Android has been downloaded.¡± ¡°In order to prevent forgery, I¡¯ll unzip the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System that I just used for comparison.¡± Li Chengqian unzipped the downloaded Android system and at the same time, unzipped the Shenlong phone system that had just been installed in Zhang Qinglan¡¯s phone. ¡°The Android system took 8.3 GB of hard drive after unzipping!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System took 3.6 GB of hard disk after unzipping!¡± ¡°Academician Lin, I want to borrow the supercomputer of the Software Research Institute to quickly compare the two system directories and sizes. What do you think?¡± Comparing the two file directories and sizes was very resource-consuming. If they were to use the laptop brought by Li Chengqian, it would be impossible to produce results in a day. The software could call on supercomputer resources. With the powerful computing power of the supercomputer, the results could be produced in a few minutes. ¡°No problem, Xiaoxu. Go help connect Li Chengqian¡¯s computer to the supercomputer¡­¡± ¡°Thank you for your support, Academician Lin! Thank you to this gentleman for his help.¡± After thanking them, Li Chengqian¡¯s fingers danced on the keyboard like a phantom as he called up the command-line tool on the supercomputer. After two lines of simple comparison code entered, the supercomputer began to operate. Soon, the results were displayed on the big screen. ¡°There are 135,874 Android files!¡± ¡°There are 68,752 files in the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!¡± ¡°Five hundred and fifty-eight documents with the same file name! Five hundred and fifty-eight documents with the same file name and file size!¡± This part was mainly to accommodate the function libraries introduced by the Android app. Originally, Li Chengqian wanted to further optimize these function libraries, but one night was too short. There was no time at all, so he did not do anything on this portion. ¡°System similarity 0.5%!¡± The concrete data evidence proved that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was not a modified Android system. Other than being able to run the Android program, everything else was basically unrelated to the Android system! The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was a brand new phone system! Because of this, everyone was shocked! ¡°Heavens, how is this possible! Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was actually not adapted from the Android system!¡± Zhang Qinglan¡¯s eyes were wide open. He was extremely shocked. From what he knew, such an OS and a UI system would only add a layer of skin to Android to make the phone look good, but it will make the phone lag too. That was what OPPO¡¯s phone system did. Create a new phone system? Zhang Qinglan had never thought of this! Only an idiot would choose not to use the free Android system and instead invest manpower and resources to develop a new phone system, with no guarantee of whether the new system will work well! ¡°It¡¯s not Android! Li Chengqian actually developed a new phone system!¡± Qian Yongming¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief, and his face was filled with shock. ¡°Is Li Chengqian really only 17 years old? How can a 17-year-old develop a brand new phone system?¡± Lei Che¡¯s voice was trembling. He couldn¡¯t believe that all of this was real. ¡°Heavens, I even posted negative comments about Li Chengqian on Weibo a few days ago!¡± Alibaba Corporation¡¯s Wu Botao¡¯s eyes almost popped out. He was extremely regretful for what he did. When Li Jiang, the new CEO of Tencent Corporation, saw this, he smiled bitterly. ¡°The company has been badly affected by Li Jinteng this time. When the news of Li Chengqian developing a domestic mobile phone system is reported, all the users will definitely condemn Tencent.¡± Li Jinteng hacked the Divine Dragon Optimization App and even slandered Li Chengqian. Now that Li Chengqian had developed a domestic mobile phone system, he had become a hero in everyone¡¯s hearts. The Tencent Corporation had once persecuted Li Chengqian. Naturally, they would become a negative example and be despised and hated by everyone. ¡°We must think of a way to repair our relationship with Li Chengqian! We need him to stand up and help us clear our name and manage users¡¯ resentment. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious¡­¡± Li Jiang looked at Li Chengqian, his mind spinning rapidly. After seeing the data displayed on the big screen, Academician Lin Qu stood up trembling with excitement. He carefully looked at the comparison between the files with the same file names. He didn¡¯t find any Linux kernel file! All systems based on the Linux kernel have a Linux kernel file in the system. The same file type could be found in Android as well. It was not in the comparative data either. What did that prove? It was a completely domestically-produced, autonomous operating system! Thinking of this possibility, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s breathing became rapid. Because this was too important! There were only three systems in this world. The first is the Windows system, which is basically installed on our personal computers. The second is the Linux system, which is based on the Android system. Most servers run on the Linux system. The third is the UNIX system, Apple is based on the UNIX system. No matter which of these three systems it was, they were all developed overseas and controlled by other countries. Although Linux is a free and open-source system, it is open source. But is an open-source system a secure system? Not necessarily! How hard could it be to sneak in a few lines of code amongst millions of lines of code to steal data? There was no difficulty at all! However, for people who audit the security of codes, finding these lines of code from millions of lines of code was no different from trying to find a needle in a haystack. There was no way he could find it. Therefore, from a long time ago, there had been a cry in the country for independent development of the operating system. So that the country could ensure its safety, autonomy and control, and wouldn¡¯t be held ransom! Unfortunately, 20 years had passed! There was no sign of a domestic operating system. The only two companies that were involved in system development were also based on the Linux core development. Safety was still not guaranteed. ¡°Li Chengqian, why didn¡¯t we find the name of the Linux kernel file in the comparison file? All systems based on the Linux kernel should have this file, right?¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s voice trembling slightly. He didn¡¯t even dare to ask directly, afraid that all of this was just the result of his imagination. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After hearing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s question, everyone¡¯s eyes focused on the big screen. They looked at the documents with the same file names and file sizes. Indeed, the Linux core document couldn¡¯t be seen. Therefore, everyone had the same thought. Out of habit, they all felt that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was based on the Linux core system because almost all modern systems would be built based on the Linux core! The Android system has the Linux kernel, and the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System should also have the Linux kernel. However, there was no Linux kernel file in the comparison! What did this mean? This meant that Li Chengqian was faking it! The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was fake. The system developed by Li Chengqian was completely autonomous and not based on Linux? This thought had never come to anyone¡¯s mind. This was because this was something even more unbelievable than Li Chengqian¡¯s development of the mobile operating system. It was completely impossible! logo Chapter 124 - 124 Level One Support 124 Level One Support Li Chengqian¡¯s powerful voice sounded in the conference room. ¡°Academician Lin, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is not based on Linux, so there is no Linux core file. The core of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is the Divine Dragon core. I developed it.¡± The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was a completely domestically-produced mobile phone system! It was not based on Linux! Naturally, there was no Linux core file inside. Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation perfectly cleared everyone¡¯s doubts. BOOM! After Li Chengqian said this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but stand up from their seats and look at Li Chengqian in extreme shock. ¡°A completely domestically-produced operating system! Am I dreaming?¡± ¡°The era of domestically-produced operating systems has really arrived!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. We finally have our own domestic operating system!¡± ¡°What other countries can do, we, the Divine Dragons, can do too! And we can do even better.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not backward! Our country is in the high-tech field. Although we started late, we¡¯ll catch up, just like the operating system this time!¡± The experts were excited. Their faces were flushed with excitement. The domestic operating system was the dream of this generation. Originally, they thought that it would only be possible to realize it in the next generation¡­ Now, it was realized in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands! Regardless of whether Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was useful or not, at least he had achieved a breakthrough from zero to one. From nothing to something! This was very important! Because from now on, we would no longer be held ransom by other people¡¯s mobile phone operating systems. Even if foreign operating systems boycott us, we could immediately activate the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to replace it nationwide. ¡°Li Chengqian actually developed a domestic operating system alone! Is he even human?¡± Zhang Qinglan¡¯s eyes almost popped out. He was extremely shocked. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s programming skills are really too formidable! He alone is more powerful than all our factories combined.¡± Qian Yongming¡¯s face was filled with shock, and his eyes were filled with admiration. ¡°Li Chengqian is indeed a genius in programming!¡± Wang Renfei of Huawei sighed. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s programming skills and the things he¡¯s doing now are worthy of all our respect!¡± Heyme Corporation¡¯s Lei Che was also full of admiration. Due to the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the mobile phone manufacturers were hostile toward Li Chengqian! That was because the Divine Dragon Optimization App would cause huge losses to all mobile phone manufacturers. However, at this moment, they were not stingy with their praises. Although commercial interests were important, they were nothing compared to national interests. This was because the stronger the country was, the safer it would be for them to earn money, and the safer their overseas business interests would be. ¡°It would be foolish to go against a monster like Li Chengqian. Since it has been proven futile to ban the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the best way forward is to accept him, work with him, and make him one of us.¡± At this moment, this thought came to all the mobile phone manufacturers. They are admitting defeat! Li Chengqian was too formidable. It wouldn¡¯t be embarrassing to admit defeat. Moreover, it could be foreseen that the country would definitely strongly support Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Anyone who dared to go against national interests would suffer great misfortune. To be able to develop a phone manufacturer to this extent, none of the bosses were fools. ¡°Li Chengqian, the Divine Dragon core you mentioned can only be used on phones?¡± Academician Lin Qu suppressed his excitement and asked. ¡°Academician Lin, the Divine Dragon core is a general-purpose system core designed with a microkernel. It can be used on phones, watches, computers, servers, or even the control of the space station!¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. The space station operating system version 2.0 that he had reconstructed was actually a simplified version of the Divine Dragon core. It was not as advanced as the Divine Dragon core, but the general structure was the same. ¡°Academician Lin, I asked Lin Xiong to send the simulated version 2.0 of the space station operating system developed by your software. It was developed by Li Chengqian. The system performance is very advanced. After the system is installed, it can upgrade the performance of the space station to the next generation!¡± Gao Xiang stood up at the right time to support Li Chengqian. ¡°Good, very good!¡± Academician Lin Qu was no longer worried. His face was filled with excitement. ¡°Everyone, please allow me to be arbitrary for once today¡­ Firstly, the software for this review will be changed from the Divine Dragon Optimization App to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System,¡± Academician Lin Qu said with a firm tone! ¡°Secondly, I agree to integrate the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System into the National Foundational Software Improvement Project and prioritize the System by granting it Level One support!¡± Software that was integrated into the Project had varying levels of support based on their level of importance. Level One support was the highest level of support. Every year, the country would provide procurement support of no less than 100 million yuan for a duration of five years! The national television news stations would broadcast no less than one report. The special report on the National Science and Technology Channel was no less than 30 minutes. There were tax exemptions for three years, up to 100 million yuan per year! No less than 2 billion yuan in special five-year interest-free loan support! If there is a need to build a production base, the cost of land is reduced by 80%. There were people in charge of handling the relevant qualification procedures and assisting with setting up a green channel. Since the implementation of the National Foundational Software Improvement Project, only HarmonyOS developed by Huawei has received Level Two support. This was the first time Level One support was granted! ¡°Hiss ¡­ The Academy of Sciences actually directly gave Level One support to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!¡± Hearing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s words, everyone gasped and looked at Li Chengqian with eyes filled with shock and envy. There were actually not many Level One support projects that involved money. However, every project that did not involve money represented huge benefits. Reports that were broadcasted on national television news stations no less than once could instantly make the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System popular. And this would be very positive branding for it! This was an opportunity that money couldn¡¯t buy. It represented¡­ the support of the country! The special report on the National Science and Technology Channel was no less than 30 minutes. This was also very impressive. It could further increase the popularity of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. As for the construction of the production base, the 80% discount on land cost was even more enviable. In the current situation where the land price was extremely high, this represented a very huge benefit. If Li Chengqian wanted to buy a piece of land around Dragon City, the land price would be 100 billion. With this policy support, Li Chengqian only needed to spend 20 billion, thus saving 80 billion. It was the same for the qualification process. With the support of the policy, the procedures that could not be completed in a few years could be completed in a few days! ¡°I agree to give Level One support to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!¡± ¡°I agree too!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± At the experts¡¯ table, the reviewers expressed their opinions one after another and all agreed with Academician Lin Qu¡¯s proposal. The nine experts participating in the review meeting all agreed! ¡°Alright, after experts¡¯ review, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System can be included in the National Foundational Software Improvement Project and would be granted Level One support!¡± Academician Lin Qu made the final decision. ¡°I hereby announce that this software review meeting is over! Thank you for your participation, everyone. Because we still have to carry out a more detailed test of the National Foundational Software Improvement Project, I won¡¯t keep everyone for dinner!¡± Just now, when Li Chengqian was on stage, although he demonstrated the performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, in the eyes of Academician Lin Qu, these tests were not detailed enough. He needed to grasp more comprehensive data and report it to the higher-ups. ¡°Hello, President Li. I¡¯m Zhou Shaoyun from the National Communication Equipment Company. I¡¯m very interested in your Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Is it convenient for you to leave your number?¡± A square-faced man with graying temples and a kind smile walked over from the guest seat. ¡°Hello, President Zhou!¡± After Li Chengqian said a few polite words, he and Zhou Shaoyun exchanged contact details. ¡°President Li, can you disclose the initial pricing of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System?¡± Zhou Shaoyun asked with a smile. He looked like he was only asking casually, but in fact, he was extremely concerned. The National Communications Equipment Company produced low-end entry-level phones. Most of them cost about 1,000 yuan. The sales could not be compared to the four major mobile phone manufacturers. They shipped about 60 million units a year. After Zhou Shaoyun was transferred to the National Communications Equipment Company, he had always wanted to break through in terms of performance and obtain greater sales, market share, and profits. Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration just now shocked Zhou Shaoyun. Performance increased by four times! Mobile phones that do not hang! If the phones produced by the National Communications Equipment Company were installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, its performance would immediately reach the mainstream level. As long as the price was not too ridiculous and was still within the range of the 1000-yuan machine, the sales would definitely increase greatly with the help of the National Communications Company¡¯s distribution network. After hearing Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s question, the phone manufacturers pricked up their ears to listen. According to Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration just now, using the hardware of a 1,000 yuan phone could achieve the performance of a phone with a price of more than 3,000 yuan. Once this kind of black technology entered the market, it would crush all phone manufacturers. If others bought the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, they would definitely buy it too! No matter how expensive it was, they had to buy it. Otherwise, they would be eliminated by the market. Chapter 125 - 125 Theres No Need to Go All the Way 125 There¡¯s No Need to Go All the Way ¡°President Zhou, the current Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is only a framework and is not perfect. It will take some effort to commercialize it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any plans to authorize any third party use of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System for the time being.¡± After receiving news that the Android system had banned the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, Li Chengqian had no time to think about anything else. His only thought was to quickly get the core of the Divine Dragon operating system out. Therefore, he spent the entire night using the Mental Coding skill to fervently perfect the Divine Dragon operating system core. He really hadn¡¯t seriously considered the commercialization of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. But still, Li Chengqian did have a rough idea! To manufacture his own phone! To install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on the phone he manufactured. And it had to be done! At the very least, the first batch of phones had to run on the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System! The first batch of phones was very important. If the review was bad, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Li Chengqian was also afraid that the phone manufacturers would pretend to be respectful but play dirty tricks behind his back. When their phones didn¡¯t function properly, they might pin all the blame on the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. This way, the reputation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would be ruined! ¡°If President Li has any thoughts, please contact me immediately.¡± Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s face was filled with regret because he could tell that Li Chengqian was rejecting him tactfully. While the other mobile phone manufacturers were disappointed, they were also glad at the same time. The reason for their disappointment was very simple. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was so powerful that if it was installed on a phone produced by his own company, a 2,000 yuan phone would be able to beat an 8,000 yuan phone. If he sold the phones installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System overseas, in terms of performance, they would definitely beat foreign cell phone brands in terms of cost-effectiveness. This would further increase their share of the international market. Now that Li Chengqian did not have the plans to sell the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, this idea could not be realized at the moment. Fortunately, once Li Chengqian only authorized certain manufacturers to use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, it would be a fatal blow to other manufacturers. Although the current situation was not the best, it was not the worst. Although he had not obtained the authorization to use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, the other mobile phone manufacturers hadn¡¯t obtained the authorization as well. Everyone was thus at the same starting line. ¡°Li Chengqian wants to make his own phone! He¡¯s learning from Apple!¡± When they heard Li Chengqian¡¯s answer, this thought flashed across many people¡¯s minds. ¡°The performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is indeed comparable to Apple.¡± ¡°But Apple has more than just the phone system¡­¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s plan to manufacture his own phone is too simplistic!¡± Qian Yongming¡¯s mind raced. He shook his head and didn¡¯t think highly of Li Chengqian¡¯s idea. Manufacturing mobile phones required strong design capabilities, hardware integration capabilities, and supply chain integration capabilities. It was not as easy as he had imagined. ¡°Hello, President Li. I¡¯m Wang Renfei from Huawei. You developed the mobile phone operating system yourself and broke the hold that the foreign companies have on us. We should learn from you¡­ I¡¯ve also done related work, but I don¡¯t have your drive and vision!¡± Huawei developed the HarmonyOS on the basis of Android and HONOR on the basis of Linux. But it was all done on the basis of Linux. On the other hand, Li Chengqian started from scratch and developed a new system. On this point, Wang Renfei felt inferior. ¡°Hello, President Wang!¡± Li Chengqian replied indifferently. Huawei had also done all the things like taking down the Divine Dragon Optimization App and issuing security warnings on the App. They had also set installation restrictions on their phone system in the later stages. ¡°President Li, do you want to learn from Apple and make your own phone? Then use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on your own phone?¡± Wang Renfei spoke very directly. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Li Chengqian admitted directly. ¡°President Li, in fact, you don¡¯t have to build a phone at all!¡± Wang Renfei shook his head and said with a smile. ¡°As long as the performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System can reach the performance you demonstrated on the stage just now, I¡¯m willing to give you 100 yuan for the system usage fee for each phone!¡± ¡°Huawei ships 130 million phones a year. YYou can get 13 billion yuan in software authorization fees without lifting a finger!¡± ¡°If all the mobile phone manufacturers in the country use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, the number of products shipped in and out of the country will be about 1.6 billion a year. You will make 160 billion yuan a year just from the software authorization fee.¡± ¡°After mobile phone manufacturers obtain the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, they will gain a huge advantage in terms of performance and pricing in the international market. Our mobile phone manufacturers will also have a greater market share in the international market, and the number of shipments will also increase.¡± ¡°The software authorization fee you can obtain will be even higher! The Divine Dragon Software Company will also grow faster.¡± ¡°President Li, this is a win-win cooperation!¡± ¡°Why do you have to go through so much trouble to make your own phone? If you make your own phone and the sales volume doesn¡¯t increase, the profits won¡¯t be too great.¡± ¡°If you want to achieve a profit of 100 billion yuan, even if everything went well, you might not be able to do it in five years.¡± Wang Renfei¡¯s attitude was very sincere. After he finished speaking, he looked straight at Li Chengqian, wanting to get a sense from Li Chengqian¡¯s expression. But he was disappointed. Li Chengqian¡¯s expression did not fluctuate at all. He was still calm and did not get excited by the huge numbers he mentioned. ¡°President Wang, you said it very well! But¡­ I still refuse! I must manufacture a phone! And it won¡¯t be long before I can meet you guys,¡± Li Chengqian replied calmly, expressing his determination. Wang Renfei¡¯s proposal was very good and very tempting. However, money was something that no longer mattered to Li Chengqian! Li Chengqian was confident that with the Master of All Professions game, he could easily earn however much money he wanted! Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t too interested in money! Not long ago, these mobile phone manufacturers had resorted to all means to kill the Divine Dragon Optimization App. In fact, after the Android system banned the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it even went a step further by pushing a so-called security patch of the Android system and banned the installation of the App at the system level. Li Chengqian had clearly seen their methods of annihilating him. He remembered it in his heart. Was Li Chengqian a magnanimous person? Obviously¡­ he wasn¡¯t! So, they wanted Li Chengqian to immediately authorize them to use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System? The time wasn¡¯t right yet, dream on! Even if he wanted to authorize it, he had to wait until the phone manufacturers were really defeated. At that time, Li Chengqian would have the absolute say! That would be the perfect time to authorize other manufacturers to use it. ¡°President Li, there¡¯s no need to be ruthless! Everyone is only out to make money! It¡¯s best to have a win-win situation. Actually, if you¡¯re not satisfied with the authorization fees, we can still negotiate! You¡¯ll definitely be satisfied.¡± Qian Yongming from OPPO continued. The models that the major mobile phone manufacturers were preparing to release this year were still in the warehouse. If they could negotiate a collaboration with Li Chengqian, the performance of these models would directly increase by four times after installing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Only then would the entry-level console be upgraded to that of the mid-level main console. The price was 1.5 times the previous price. With some gimmicks thrown in, the phones would definitely sell well. Although there was an additional system usage fee, they would still earn more money after deducting this fee. No matter how much money Li Chengqian earned, they would always earn more than him. Moreover, the phone manufacturers purchase and use of Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would come with conditions! Firstly, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System must not be opened to individual users! Secondly, Li Chengqian must not continue to develop the Divine Dragon Optimization App! Currently, the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on Android phones was prohibited. However, with Li Chengqian¡¯s terrifyingly formidable technology, as long as he studied it, he would definitely crack this restriction. Once the App became popular, it would be difficult to sell the manufacturer¡¯s phones. In the next three years, the domestic cell phone sales would decrease to 30% of the original figure! This was a disaster for the entire industry. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not selling the phone system for the time being!!¡± Li Chengqian replied calmly. As Academician Lin Qu was calling out to him, he picked up his laptop, picked up the two phones he had just used for testing, and walked towards him. Chapter 126 - 126 System Release 126 System Release ¡°Li Chengqian, are you serious? Do you really want to manufacture your own phone?¡± Academician Lin Qu heard everything Li Chengqian said just now. ¡°Yes, I want to build the first batch of phones myself!¡± Li Chengqian said affirmatively. The first batch of phones was too crucial! If the reviews on the first batch of mobile phones installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System were not good and there was a lot of criticism online, it would definitely slow down the development and promotion of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. He had to ensure the reputation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System! This was the foundation for the development of the future Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. ¡°I know that these phone manufacturers offended you not long ago. They want to kill the Divine Dragon Optimization App for their own benefits. It¡¯s indeed despicable. It¡¯s normal for you to want to vent your anger. I understand.¡± ¡°But manufacturing a phone isn¡¯t as easy as you think.¡± ¡°I think authorizing the use of the mobile phone system is a good idea. It can quickly popularize the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System.¡± This was Academician Lin Qu¡¯s honest opinion. He sincerely wanted Li Chengqian to do well. At the same time, he also hoped that the nationally produced system could replace Android in the country. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, let¡¯s carry out the performance test of the mobile phone system.¡± Li Chengqian was unwilling to talk about this issue anymore and changed the topic. ¡°Alright!¡± Since Li Chengqian had already said so, what else could he say? ¡­ On the national television station¡¯s Weibo, the official app of the national television station, and its national publicity account, a short message was posted. [Recently, China has once again broken the foreign blockade and monopoly on basic software development. The nationally produced Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company was verified and tested by the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences. The system¡¯s core was developed on its own, and the system adopted a micro-core design. The performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was four times that of the Android system, and its sophistication was ahead of the world. From now on, the Divine Dragon Nation is the second country in the world to have the ability to develop an operating system. At the moment, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System can already be used commercially. I believe that in the near future, mobile phones that run on the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System will be launched.] After this news was released, it immediately caused a huge commotion on the Internet. ¡°Domestically produced system? It can¡¯t be another project to cheat funding, right?¡± Someone began to doubt the moment the information was released. After all, there had been too many fakes in the past few years! There had been so many such PowerPoint presentations that it was terrifying! ¡°Look at who posted the information. It¡¯s the national television station! How can it be fake?¡± ¡°The Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences is an authoritative institution in the domestic software industry. It has been verified and tested by them! It can¡¯t be fake!¡± ¡°Domestically produced system! I thought I had to wait another ten years. I didn¡¯t expect it to come now. I¡¯m looking forward to it¡­¡± ¡°Impressive! In terms of basic software, we¡¯re finally starting to find our footing!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve become the second country with the ability to develop a system! Amazing, my country! Amazing, Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Countless netizens felt a strong sense of pride when they saw the report. ¡°Something major has happened. Quickly go to the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company to take a look!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company took down the Divine Dragon Optimization App, but¡­ they actually launched with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System¡­ This can be installed in the phone!¡± After seeing the information on the national television station, a netizen immediately went to the official website of Divine Dragon Software Company. Then, he made a major discovery. The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System could actually be downloaded! Immediately, countless netizens came to the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company, wanting to download the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to try it out. Yan Xianjue was a content creator who specialized in mobile phone reviews. After reading the news on Weibo, he immediately went to the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company and downloaded it. Then, an announcement page popped up. [Dear users, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is still in the testing stage. It is only open to specific groups of people: 1. Users who have already installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on their mobile phones. 2. Users who had previously bought the right to use the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Other users would not be able to install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System.] ¡°Alright, you win! You just released the phone system and you want to take this opportunity to collect money? You¡¯re too greedy! However, in order to experience the domestic phone system and do a review, I¡¯ll top up, alright?¡± When Yan Xianjue saw this news, he was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Li Chengqian¡¯s money grabbing tactic was distasteful. ¡°F*ck, why doesn¡¯t the Divine Dragon Optimization App accept top-ups?¡± Then, Yan Xianjue was dumbfounded because he realized that the top-up interface of the Divine Dragon Optimization App on the website was gone! He could not top-up at all. ¡°This should be a bug on the website, right? F*ck, can a company that can¡¯t even handle a website really develop a domestically produced system?¡± Yan Xianjue was a little suspicious. Then, Yan Xianjue found the customer service number of the Divine Dragon Software Company on the website and made a call. ¡°Hello, this is Divine¡­¡± A sweet voice sounded. ¡°Hello, I know where this is. Actually, I want to tell you that there¡¯s a problem with your official website. You can¡¯t pay the annual top-up fee for the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Hurry up and fix it.¡± A sweet voice sounded. ¡°Hello, user. We took the initiative to cancel the top-up interface of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Other than users who had done a top-up before, we don¡¯t accept any new top-ups.¡± ¡°What did you say? You guys took the initiative to cancel it? Why?¡± Yan Xianjue was instantly dumbfounded. If he could not top-up the Divine Dragon Optimization App, he would never meet the criteria for using the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. He won¡¯t be able to evaluate it! ¡°Hello, user. If you¡¯re interested in the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, please follow our online shopping mall. The Shengshi 1st generation phones installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System will be sold online. Goodbye,¡± the customer service lady replied and hung up without hesitation. Before Yan Xianjue, someone else had already called to ask about this matter. ¡°Sigh, damn, this service attitude is too bad,¡± Yan Xianjue said very unhappily. He was about to call back and scold him. At this moment, he received a message on his phone. ¡°Yan Xianjue, go and take a look. Zhang Tiezhu is livestreaming the installation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. The number of people in the livestream has already reached two million.¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, in Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream room. ¡°Fellow netizens, I just received a notification about the update of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on my phone.¡± Zhang Tiezhu displayed his phone and a banner appeared at the top of the phone. [Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System version 0.1. Click to update.] ¡°Why isn¡¯t there an update on my phone?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I download the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System?¡± ¡°F*ck, why won¡¯t it let me top up? Why won¡¯t it let me experience the domestic system?¡± Immediately, many comments appeared on the screen. ¡°I¡¯ve just communicated with the staff of the Divine Dragon Software Company. As long as the Divine Dragon Optimization App is installed in your phone, you will receive an update notification from the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, just like I did.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you didn¡¯t install the Divine Dragon Optimization App, right?¡± Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile. ¡°I want to install it, but this stupid phone is prohibiting it. What do you think we should do?¡± ¡°I installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App on my phone previously. When I saw that the entire Internet was installing the App, I was led astray and uninstalled it too. As soon as I uninstalled it, the phone system was automatically updated. After uninstalling the App, my phone card became very laggy. After ten minutes, I went to install the App again.

The size of the installation file is 879 MB. It¡¯s not very big¡­¡± As the livestream continued, the excellent performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was displayed one by one by Zhang Tiezhu. Application freeze technology! Memory optimization technology! Information interface technology and pre-start technology! Advanced battery management and process hibernation technology! Every technique shocked everyone in the livestream. It was an entry-level phone from four years ago!! It was an entry-level phone! After installing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, its performance was comparable to the current flagship phone. Would you believe it? It was smooth, extremely smooth. What¡¯s more, it would never lag! The most performance-consuming mobile games could run smoothly. The battery life was increased by three times! After charging once, it could be used for two days. Advanced! Impressive, awesome! It was too advanced! These technologies were all technologies that the major operating systems in the world were working on or preparing to work on in the future. Now, they were all integrated into the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. ¡°Too impressive, awesome! After installing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, this phone from four years ago is even more useful than the Apple phone I just bought. It¡¯s ridiculous! My Divine Dragon Optimization App was originally black technology that could increase the phone¡¯s performance by two times. However, compared to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, the App is just a teaser!¡± Zhang Tiezhu was also extremely shocked. He only had this phone installed with the Divine Dragon Optimization App. In order to show his fans the true situation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System in the shortest time possible, he didn¡¯t use this phone beforehand. He did not expect the performance of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to be so powerful. It was ridiculously powerful. ¡°Long live the Divine Dragon Software Company, long live Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°Ridiculous! This is too ridiculous! Is the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System trying to punch Android and kick Apple?¡± ¡°Too impressive, awesome! This is too advanced! Apple can¡¯t compare to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System at all.¡± ¡°I¡¯m crying! It was my stupid mistake.

His livestream had already reached the top of the popularity rankings, and the number of people online in his livestream had broken a new record. A total of five million people were watching his livestream. He glanced at the backstage. The reward for this livestream was 560,000 yuan! This was an unprecedented result. ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯m a staunch supporter of the Dragon God Optimization App. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t delete the App!

A phone installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was being tested by engineer Mike. Very quickly, the performance comparison test, power consumption comparison test, call quality test, and a series of other professional tests were completed. The Senior Vice President of the Android system in Google was waiting for the test results with a solemn expression. The testing process has been connected to the videoconferencing system. The senior managers of Google, Windows, and Apple are all participating in the meeting via videoconference. Not long after, Mike completed the phone tests. He had an incredulous look on his face. ¡°Everyone, I think we¡¯re in big trouble!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has been tested. Its performance is 4.4 times that of Android! It¡¯s twice that of Apple!¡± ¡°Battery management is very advanced. It¡¯s 3.6 times better than Android and Apple! With the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, it can be used for three days with one charge.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, the phone works very smoothly. The memory management is simply heavenly. You can restore the phone to the time when it¡¯s activated with one button! Dongfang said in the publicity that the phone won¡¯t lag for a year. It¡¯s true!¡± ¡°I tried to read the data on the hard disk of the phone just now and wanted to call out the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to study it, but Li Chengqian is a maverick. He has actually encrypted the hard disk data of the phone. The documents I called out are meaningless codes! The encryption method is even harder to crack than the most difficult AES256 at the moment,¡± Mike said regretfully. AES256¡¯s encryption method was almost impossible to crack. If it was even harder than AES256, with current technology, it was almost impossible to crack. ¡°The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is more advanced than Android and Apple. It works smoother and is more functional.¡± ¡°Once this enters the market on a large scale, according to the usual practice of the East, the prices will definitely be low and the performance will be high. It will have a strong impact on us.¡± ¡°Coupled with a smooth usage experience and various advanced technologies, the market for Android and Apple phones will quickly be devoured in the foreseeable future.¡± ¡°The consequences are catastrophic for us.¡± Mike¡¯s expression was extremely grave as he shared his speculations. After Mike¡¯s results were out, the expressions of the companies participating in the video conference system all turned solemn. Then, the participants began to discuss intensely. They arrived at some conclusions very quickly. Firstly, place the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on their blacklist. Secondly, send a warning to mobile phone manufacturers all over the world, any company that purchases from the Divine Dragon Software Company will be on the blacklist too. Thirdly, all partners were warned not to provide any mobile phone hardware to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Actually, the three companies all had a fourth measure, but they were not talking about it. The fourth measure was to think of a way to obtain the source code of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. They would resort to all means, and do it at all costs. By that time, they would be able to integrate the advanced technology in the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System into their own operating systems. ¡­ Li Chengqian took his eyes off the computer and looked at He Hongyan, who was sitting opposite him. ¡°How is it?¡± Li Chengqian asked. If he wanted to build a phone, he naturally had to get a few helpers. He Hongyan, who was well connected, was his best helper. Therefore, he handed over the tasks of contacting the OEM manufacturers and the raw materials suppliers to He Hongyan. He Hongyan¡¯s expression was solemn as he shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the OEM manufacturers. As long as the raw materials are in place, they can immediately start producing the phones.¡± ¡°But in terms of materials¡­ There¡¯s a huge problem. I¡¯ve already arranged for someone to make inquiries¡­ They refused to sell when they heard that the buyer is the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°A friend told me that the Divine Dragon Software Company has already been blacklisted by several large western companies! It¡¯s impossible for us to obtain the supply of materials from the west.¡± He Hongyan was bitter about this. ¡°They won¡¯t sell us the Snapdragon processor!¡± ¡°Samsung won¡¯t sell us the memory and flash memory chips, or the screens.¡± ¡°Sony won¡¯t sell us their lens.¡± In the past, He Hongyan had heard about how tough life could be when one was being boycotted. He now understood what that meant. Once you are blacklisted, you can¡¯t lay hands on any good top grade components. Without the support of top grade components, how could you compete with others? ¡°President Li, I also heard a piece of news. Google has already issued a warning to all mobile phone manufacturers. Anyone who purchased the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System will lose the support of Android and will be blacklisted.¡± Now, even if Li Chengqian was willing to collaborate with other mobile phone manufacturers, none of them would dare to work with him! Once they collaborated with Li Chengqian, they would have to face the problem of not being able to buy materials. This was fatal to any manufacturer. Huawei was originally number one in mobile phone sales and also number one in profitability! When Huawei started designing its own chip and developing its own operating system, it hit a raw nerve. These businesses were heavily guarded by the foreign companies. No one was allowed to touch them. Anyone who did so would be courting death! From then on, Huawei was on the blacklist. One year later, due to a materials shortage, they couldn¡¯t produce enough mobile phones, and their sales fell to fifth place in the Divine Dragon Country! With Huawei¡¯s case study, would any other mobile phone company still attempt to touch the foreign company¡¯s territory? No one dared to! ¡°Now, all our paths are blocked!¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have the materials for producing our own mobile phones!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think any mobile phone manufacturer will work with us even if we authorize usage of our mobile phone system.¡± He Hongyan analyzed the current situation in a low voice and felt that the situation was not optimistic. ¡°Now, there¡¯s another way to roll out the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. That¡¯s to open the download and installation! Let the phone users come into the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System themselves.¡± He Hongyan stated the most feasible method open to them now. But there are huge risks to this approach. Whenever there were any issues with the phone, manufacturers would say that it was caused by the installation of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. It was even possible that someone would deliberately install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System on a lousy phone so as to tarnish its reputation. ¡°President Li, the current situation is very complicated. Whether you choose to allow open download and installation, or to manufacture your own phone, neither are good choices.¡± ¡°I have a suggestion, and that is to temporarily stop the promotion and development of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!¡± ¡°Bid your time! The country won¡¯t leave you in a lurch!¡± To be honest, He Hongyan also felt extremely aggrieved. They clearly had such a good phone system, but they got blacklisted and could neither buy relevant materials nor use it on phones. They were in a dilemma. This was because the country could not produce advanced mobile phone CPUs, memory, flash memory, cameras, screens, and so on. These materials were indispensable in manufacturing high-end phones. This was the sad thing about being held ransom by others. Chapter 128 - 128 Visit and Support 128 Visit and Support Li Chengqian frowned. Actually, he had also expected the boycott. He just didn¡¯t expect it to come so quickly and harshly. And, for companies like Google to have such strong say in the marketplace. With just one warning, most mobile phone parts suppliers refused to supply to the Divine Dragon Software Company. This was the dominance of companies like Google in the industry. ¡°President He, don¡¯t be so pessimistic! We haven¡¯t reached the point of no return!¡± ¡°We have another choice, which is to use domestically-produced mobile phone parts.¡± ¡°Help me contact Unisoc for the CPU, contact Changxin Group for the memory chip and hard disk. As for the phone screen, help me contact BOE.¡± Li Chengqian already had an understanding of the relevant players in the industry. Although the relevant components were not as powerful as those from overseas, there were still substitute products. ¡°President Li, but these components aren¡¯t top-notch products, especially Zhanrui¡¯s CPU. Its performance can only be compared to Snapdragon¡¯s low-end 710¡­ Changxin¡¯s memory isn¡¯t the most advanced¡­¡± He Hongyan had actually considered using local products. However, a good horse needed to be equipped with a good saddle, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System had to be used on the best hardware in order to optimize its performance. From the beginning, He Hongyan had positioned the phone as a high-end, top-notch product! It was even more high-end than an Apple phone. ¡°Based on the current situation, we have no other choice!¡± Li Chengqian said in a low voice. In fact, his thoughts are similar to He Hongyan¡¯s. He would use the best hardware to make the best phone! The most powerful phone! Currently, the most powerful phone on the market has an AnTuTu performance score of about 1.2 million points. As long as he could purchase the same hardware and install the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, a performance of more than four times would reach more than 6 million points. Even if Android and Apple were given five years, they might not be able to achieve this performance. Change is the only constant. However, even if he were to purchase all the domestically-produced hardware, Li Chengqian was confident that after the integration of the Divine Dragon System, his phone would be able to reach the level of a flagship phone on the market. Its performance might not be as strong as Apple and Android, but the difference wouldn¡¯t be substantial! Moreover, with the support of advanced technologies such as application freeze technology, memory optimization technology, battery and process management technologies, it would definitely perform better than Android and Apple phones. ¡°President He, do as I say! Actually, it¡¯s not bad to use all domestically-produced mobile phone hardware. The cost of the phone will be much lower. With the Divine Dragon System, the performance of the mobile phone will be guaranteed, and the phone we produce will be more competitive,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. The performance of a flagship phone at the price of an entry-level phone! He Hongyan shook his head in disappointment. If not for the blacklist by Google and other giants, Divine Dragon mobile phone could have become a top-notch flagship phone. It would have been in a different league! And now, under the blacklist, they could only produce entry-level machines! The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. However, this was indeed the best solution at the moment. ¡°President Li, I¡¯ll contact them now! I¡¯ll inform you immediately once there¡¯s news!¡± He Hongyan had just left when there was a knock on the door. Outside the door was Wang Renfei of Huawei and Zhou Shaoyun of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company. ¡°President Wang, President Zhou, why are you here?¡± Li Chengqian asked. ¡°President Li, there are two reasons why I am here. The first is to apologize to you! We were wrong to take down the Divine Dragon Optimization App and ban the App!¡± Wang Renfei of Huawei spoke extremely sincerely. He even bowed to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian looked at Wang Renfei calmly and did not say anything. ¡°Secondly, I¡¯m here to discuss a collaboration with you, President Li!¡± After Wang Renfei saw that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any expression, he smiled bitterly, straightened up, and sat down again. ¡°As you know, our company is also on the sanction list¡­¡± ¡°I have some experience in this area.¡± ¡°These are the manufacturers that we have on the supply chain that we rebuilt this year. They¡¯re all domestic manufacturers. The quality of all the manufacturers on the list is very good! If you¡¯re determined to manufacture phones, this list should be able to help you.¡± Wang Renfei placed a list in front of Li Chengqian. A mobile phone contained hundreds of electronic components. If there was a problem with the quality of any of the components, it would affect the quality of the mobile phone. Wang Renfei had arranged for all the manufacturers on this list to be tested. In addition to the core components such as processors, memory, and hard disks, he had covered all aspects of mobile phone manufacturing. With this list, there would be a supply chain. Li Chengqian looked hard at Wang Renfei. The list provided by Wang Renfei was very important to him! It could save him a lot of time to screen the suppliers, allowing him to focus on more important areas, such as solving the issues with the phone. ¡°President Wang, I¡¯ll accept this list! But I want to ask, why are you helping me?¡± Li Chengqian asked very seriously. He could feel that Wang Renfei was sincerely helping him. ¡°Because we¡¯re on the same side! We¡¯re all doing the same thing! We¡¯re working hard to break the old rules of the world. We all want our country to become stronger! We all want our voice from the east to be heard in the world!¡± Wang Renfei¡¯s tone was extremely firm. ¡°President Li, my business is done. If you need anything, call me.¡± After Wang Renfei finished speaking, he nodded at Li Chengqian and walked out without any hesitation. ¡°President Wang, please wait. I think we can have a good chat later!¡± The grudge Li Chengqian held against Wang Renfei dissolved after what Wang Renfei said and did. Wang Renfei stopped and returned to his seat with a bright smile. ¡°President Zhou?¡± Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Shaoyun. ¡°President Li, I¡¯m here to ask you for help!¡± Zhou Shaoyun smiled. ¡°We plan to produce 60 million phones this year. According to the requirements of the higher-ups, all these phones must be installed with domestic systems! Moreover, the higher-ups have already asked me to make a military pledge. If I can¡¯t complete the mission, I¡¯ll be fired on the spot!¡± ¡°President Li, you¡¯re the only one in the entire Divine Dragon Country who has a domestic system. You¡¯re the only one who can help me! Please help me.¡± ¡°Name your terms. I¡¯ll think of a way to solve any problem for you!¡± Although Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s words were asking for help, he was actually giving Li Chengqian peace of mind. Indirectly, he was telling Li Chengqian that the country was backing him up. Originally, there was no such mission, but after Google and the other giants issued a ban on the Divine Dragon Software Company, the order was issued! Moreover, the higher-ups¡¯ direction was to do this at all costs! To support the Divine Dragon Software Company! To promote the usage of the Divine Dragon System! This was the order that came down from the top! One could only imagine the importance. Just as Zhou Shaoyun had said just now, Li Chengqian could name any terms, and any issues could be resolved. He would do his best to help Li Chengqian solve them! Chapter 129 - 129 Thinking Along a Different Line 129 Thinking Along a Different Line Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s words lifted Li Chengqian¡¯s mood instantly. This feeling that someone was supporting and watching over him made him feel at ease. He was also moved! Besides feeling moved, he also started thinking along a different line. After hearing what Wang Renfei and Zhou Shaoyun said, he realized that there was really no need to manufacture a phone! First of all, after being blacklisted by Google and the other large manufacturers, they couldn¡¯t buy the best components. The phones they manufactured wouldn¡¯t be top-notch phones. Secondly, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company was state-owned and would act according to the will of the country. The country¡¯s current will was to support the development of the Divine Dragon System. Naturally, there wouldn¡¯t be any mistakes in the promotion of the Divine Dragon mobile phone. If he authorized the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, nothing will go wrong such as to damage his reputation. Thirdly, the country was supporting him. He also needed to express his gratitude. Authorizing the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to use the Divine Dragon System was the best way to do so. ¡°President Li, it¡¯s not difficult to manufacture a phone. Many people can do it well! But developing an operating system is very difficult. From the invention of computers until now, there have only been three types of operating systems in the entire world! You did it! Your talent in software development is unparalleled. You should focus on software, instead of something easy and meaningless like manufacturing a phone.¡± Wang Renfei also advised. ¡°Our country¡¯s foundational software is still very weak!¡± ¡°Apart from the mobile phone operating system that you completed, we are far behind other countries in computer operating systems, foundational database software, EDA software in the electronics field, and PLM software in other industrial fields¡­¡± ¡°The CPUs designed by Intel, AMD, and ARM are being updated with the help of advanced EDA software. Our country doesn¡¯t have advanced EDA software. It takes three years to complete a replacement design. Its performance isn¡¯t as advanced as others¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same in other fields!¡± ¡°The domestic photolithography machine can only produce 90 nm chips. The product quality rate is still very low, and the most advanced photolithography machine in the world can already produce 4 nm chips!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why Google and other related giants are able to blacklist us.¡± ¡°Because they won¡¯t sell us the advanced production tools at all! They won¡¯t sell them no matter what price we offer! They control the manufacturing and sales of high-end lithography machines, and they also control the chip manufacturers. In the end, they will be able to control the entire chip industry.¡± The Qilin chip designed by Huawei was also very advanced, but after it was blacklisted, no chip factory was willing to accept their orders. This was the root cause of the disappearance of the Qilin chip. ¡°President Li, I suggest that you consider the decision to manufacture phones carefully. Anyone can manufacture phones, but in the critical area of software, only you can do it! I think it¡¯s a waste of your talent to spend time and energy manufacturing phones.¡± Wang Renfei concluded solemnly. ¡°President Wang, you flatter me.¡± Li Chengqian quietly listened to Wang Renfei¡¯s words and made a decision in his heart. ¡°I can authorize your companies to use the Divine Dragon System.¡± The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company was a state-owned company and could be trusted completely. It would definitely not destroy the Divine Dragon System¡¯s name. Huawei was still being sanctioned, and the Divine Dragon Software Company was in the same boat. Moreover, Wang Renfei had shown enough sincerity. ¡°President Li, what do you think of the price of 200 yuan per phone?¡± Zhou Shaoyun smiled. ¡°Two hundred yuan is too expensive!¡± Li Chengqian continued and said very seriously, ¡°My ideal price for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System is 100 yuan per phone! ¡°No problem!¡± Zhou Shaoyun naturally had no issues. ¡°Sure, this price is not expensive.¡± Wang Renfei nodded. He was very satisfied with this price. ¡°However, if you want to use the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, there are conditions!¡± Li Chengqian continued. ¡°Firstly, the source code of the system will not be released. The version update of the system will be controlled by the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Li Chengqian needed absolute control of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Secondly, the system will always only have one software installation gateway, which is the built-in app store within other app stores.¡± Li Chengqian had just suffered the episode of the App being taken off the app stores, he wouldn¡¯t suffer the same mistake twice. He also wanted absolute control of the installation gateway. ¡°Thirdly, you need to provide detailed hardware parameters and hardware drivers for your phones¡­¡± On this point, Li Chengqian was completely thinking for the phone manufacturers. He was trying to ensure that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would be useful on the phones! Zhou Shaoyun agreed without thinking. ¡°President Li, no problem. When do you want to sign the contract? I can transfer the system usage fee for 60 million phones to the Divine Dragon Software Company first.¡± ¡°I have no objections either!¡± Wang Renfei also nodded. He was very satisfied with the usage fee of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. The three of them sat down and went through the details of their collaboration. Before leaving, Wang Renfei said worriedly, ¡°President Li, we can¡¯t be too optimistic. They are now warning the first-rate manufacturers that they can¡¯t sell their chips to us. We can still buy products from other manufacturers at the moment¡­ However, we can¡¯t rule out the possibility that they will use the same tactics to prohibit the second-rate manufacturers from selling chips to us!¡± ¡°In order to curb your development, they might even ban software chip manufacturers from working with you. They are capable of this! Even domestic chip manufacturers have to give in to their demands!¡± ¡°Also, these people will do anything for their own benefit. They have no regard for any laws. You¡¯d better get a few security guards to ensure your safety.¡± ¡­ After the two of them left, through Wang Renfei¡¯s words, Li Chengqian realized that the most serious thing that would make him vulnerable was the photolithography machine. If he didn¡¯t resolve this problem, he would forever be held ransom and could only suffer in silence. Li Chengqian muttered in his heart, ¡°Personal interface¡±, summoning the game interface of the Master of all Professions game, something he hadn¡¯t done in a long time. Immediately, a translucent interface appeared in front of him. Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 30.4/19 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 38/19 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 9 (Advanced), Worker level 9 (Advanced), Software Engineer level 1 (0/200,000) Student Profession Skills: 1.

Manufacturing Principles (Master) Software Engineer Skills: 1. Mental Coding (Competent 0/200,000) Experience Pool: 1,522,032 Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze fell on the skills of the Worker profession. [Expedited Processing (Master): Consumes strength. Under the premise that raw materials are provided and manufacturing principles are mastered, you can quickly create non-software industrial products that you have mastered.] [Measurement Accuracy (Master): You are extremely sensitive to size. With your palms and eyes, you can detect deviations above 1 nanometer.] [Manufacturing Principles (Master): You can consume a large amount of Strength Stats and master the manufacturing principles of any machine in an extremely short period of time. When the prerequisite knowledge conditions are not met, the required knowledge and the corresponding level can be displayed.] ¡°Actually, as long as I¡¯m given some time, I can also build a photolithography machine!¡± For lithography machines, there were three things with the highest technical difficulty. Camera! Light source! And the console. As long as Li Chengqian was given a sample, he could analyze using the Manufacturing Principles skill, and then use the Expedited Processing skill to replicate these key core components. Moreover, even if he couldn¡¯t obtain a sample, with the Measurement Accuracy (Master) skill, he could spend some time and even craft it by hand. Chapter 130 - 130 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 1 130 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 1 Li Chengqian confirmed the collaboration with Huawei and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company. Li Chengqian optimized the Divine Dragon System a second time according to the mobile phone hardware of the two companies. He also reinforced the system¡¯s anti-hacking ability again and added a hardware coding system. This way, the Divine Dragon System¡¯s ability to defend against hacking was greatly enhanced. It would be more than ten times stronger than the Apple System. It would be absolutely impossible to hack the system and obtain the system source code using current technology! The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s phone was called the Long Yao Generation 3 phone. The original price of the phone was 799 yuan. It used Unisoc¡¯s CPU, with a 4G+128G configuration. The screen was a BOE 6-inch screen. The battery was 5,000 milliamperes. The camera was a domestically-produced WILL 3,000 pixel camera. The other accessories were basically domestically-produced. This was a classic entry-level low-end phone, and it also had the highest production volume. When using the Android system, the performance score was only 150,000. It was only good enough for everyday usage, but would lag if the user played League of Legends or Game for Peace on it. After the improved version of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was installed on it, the performance score soared to 720,000 points. It was extremely smooth to use. League of Legends, Game for Peace, and other major games could be played smoothly and in the highest graphics resolution. The performance score of the phone reached the level of the flagship phones of other brands. The user experience was much better than the flagship phones of other brands. There was no lag! The battery was long lasting! After discussing with Li Chengqian, Zhou Shaoyun raised the price of his phone to 999 yuan! The phone that Huawei brought over was a newly developed model called Breakthrough Generation 1. The price was 8,999 yuan. The processor used was leftovers from previous batches purchased. The CPU was a Qilin 9000, 12G+512G configuration, 64 megapixels, the screen was a 6-inch BOE OLED screen, and it had a 5,800 milliamp battery. The other components were the best available in the country. After installing the Android system, the phone had a performance score of 760,000 points! It was similar to the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s Long Yao Generation 3 phone with the Divine Dragon System installed. After Li Chengqian did targeted optimization of the System and installed it on the phone, the performance score of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone hit an astonishing 3.6 million points. Currently, the best Apple phone had a performance score of 830,000 points. The best Android phone had a performance score of 1,060,000 points. The performance of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone was more than three times faster than the best mobile phone on the market. With the support of hardware, it might take five years for Android and Apple to catch up on this difference in performance. The Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone was invincible! It was invincible! ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian had just returned to the Divine Dragon Software Company in Tianyi City. Then, he opened Weibo and realized that it was unusually lively. Heyme, Green Factory, and Vivo had arranged an online press conference at 8pm. All the topics of discussion were everywhere. In the publicity, all the manufacturers used various advanced technologies and the best hardware. The photos on the new phone were even more beautiful and flawless, like a work of art. ¡°AnTuTu performance score of 1.1 million points. Our performance is still invincible! Our mission remains unchanged. We want the best price-performance ratio. Heyme 14, price 5XXX, special launch price 4XXX, unprecedented discount. We¡¯ll announce it tonight.¡± This was the promotion of Heyme phone. ¡°Charge for 5 minutes, use for 5 hours, powerful power management chips, advanced process and memory management technology. You don¡¯t ever have to worry about battery life anymore.¡± This was OPPO¡¯s ad copy. ¡°Superstar level 100 million pixel camera, self-developed NPU enhanced video processing. Every photo is a work of art, and every frame of video is cinematic level. We¡¯re only doing this for the most beautiful you.¡± Vivo¡¯s publicity focused on photography technology. On Weibo¡¯s trending list: Trending #1: Heyme Mobile Phone Launch Conference Trending #2: OPPO Mobile Phone Launch Conference Trending #3: Vivo Mobile Phone Launch Conference Trending #5: Divine Dragon System blacklisted by Google and other giants ¡°The Divine Dragon System has been blacklisted by Google and other giants. It¡¯s in a predicament now, no one can use it.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has been placed on a sanction list and is unable to purchase advanced mobile phone materials. The plan to manufacture its own mobile phone has fallen through.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian suffered heavy losses. After rejecting phone manufacturers like Heyme, the Divine Dragon System was banned. He might lose hundreds of billions of yuan every year.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System is very expensive, it costs 100 yuan per phone. It increases the production cost of the phone manufacturers, that is why it can¡¯t be popularized.¡± The readership of these articles have hit more than a million. Li Chengqian opened the articles and took a glance. The article was vaguely filled with disdain and criticism, and expressed a lack of confidence in Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t bothered. He closed Weibo calmly and opened the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company. In just a few days, there were 500,000 comments on the official website¡¯s message board. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to the launch of the mobile phone with the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°When will our mobile phones be released?¡± ¡°My mobile phone is lagging badly, but I¡¯ll still wait for your mobile phone to be released.¡± ¡°Even if your mobile phones are very expensive, even if they don¡¯t work well, I will still buy one for no other reason than to support domestically-produced phones!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company, you¡¯ve done a good job in the past. You¡¯ve quietly developed a domestic system. The rest is up to us¡­ One word, buy!¡± ¡°In order to break the foreign chokehold, I will definitely support it. As long as it¡¯s released, I will buy it even if it¡¯s a pile of sh*t!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, you can do it! Don¡¯t give up!¡± ¡°Domestic production, full domestic production! The foreigners banned us, so we¡¯ll manufacture mobile phones domestically. As long as you launch it, I¡¯ll definitely support you!¡± Chapter 131 - 131 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 2 131 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 2 ¡°I can¡¯t f*cking stand the domineering behavior of the foreign giants. I just want to support you. I¡¯ll buy any product you release, no matter how expensive it is!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t do anything else. The only thing I can do is buy one when you release your mobile phone.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give up. F*ck them! We support you!¡± After reading dozens of pages of comments, they were basically all supporting the Divine Dragon System and telling Li Chengqian not to give up. After reading these messages, Li Chengqian felt his mood become lower, and he also felt more and more aggrieved. If Google and the other companies hadn¡¯t blacklisted them, it wouldn¡¯t have been difficult to manufacture phones. After completing the design of the mobile phone, he would purchase the materials according to the design and hand them to the factory. After the phone was manufactured, he would start selling them. This was a very mature business model. But now, without basic materials, he couldn¡¯t do anything! ¡°Given the current situation, it¡¯s very difficult for the Divine Dragon Software Company to manufacture their own mobile phones!¡± ¡°But things might not be the same in the future¡­¡± ¡°In the future, I will definitely fulfill your wishes! Manufacture a mobile phone that belongs to Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± A firm resolution formed in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. ¡°Currently, the biggest difficulty in manufacturing phones is still the issue of the lithography machine. As long as this issue is resolved, the problem of the supply of CPU, GPU, memory, hard disk, and other chips being cut off will be easily resolved.¡± Li Chengqian had already identified the most critical issue, but there was no way to resolve it now. If he had the actual physical machine, he would definitely analyze the manufacturing principles however much wolfberries he had to eat! He had already asked Academician Lin Qu. There were no high-end photolithography machines in the country at all, not even one. This made him lose the opportunity to use the Manufacturing Principles skill to analyze it. ¡°The issue of the photolithography machine can only be resolved after entering university.¡± After entering university, one could take on the University Student profession. After obtaining the University Student profession, one could buy Knowledge skills in the Professions Mall. The manufacturing technology of the photolithography machine could also be purchased in the Professions Mall. ¡°Although I can¡¯t release mobile phones produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company and Huawei will release new phones that are equipped with the Divine Dragon System¡­¡± ¡°For the time being, let these two phones replace it.¡± Li Chengqian opened the online mall on the official website of Divine Dragon Software Company. Then, he listed Huawei¡¯s Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone and National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone on the online mall. In the next second, this news was discovered by the netizens who had been following the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°F*ck, the news about the Divine Dragon System has only been out for three days, and it¡¯s already on the shelves? Didn¡¯t they say that they were blacklisted and plans to manufacture their own phone have fallen through?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? This is Huawei¡¯s phone, and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s phone. Why doesn¡¯t the Divine Dragon Software Company have their own phone?¡± ¡°What I¡¯m looking forward to the most is the phone produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company! Why isn¡¯t there one? I¡¯m so disappointed!¡± Someone said in disappointment. ¡°A 999 yuan phone with a running score of 760,000 points? This performance is unbelievable.¡± After seeing the price and performance comparison, some people widened their eyes and exclaimed that it was ridiculous. ¡°Idiot, you definitely haven¡¯t seen Bilibili¡¯s evaluation video, right? Four years ago, an entry-level machine installed with Divine Dragon System had a performance score of 600,000 points! The Divine Dragon System is just so ridiculously good! So impressive, awesome!¡± ¡°D*mn, there¡¯s actually a purchase restriction. Every person can only buy two phones! My family of five wants to change phones, but you only let me buy two¡­ I¡¯ll get my girlfriend to register an account to buy them.¡± ¡°I just placed an order for two units!¡± Then, someone saw the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone. ¡°Gasp¡­ 8,999 yuan for a phone. This price is comparable to Apple.¡± ¡°Huawei, you might as well go rob a bank! What, the Divine Dragon System has already been installed? 3.6 million performance points?¡­ That¡¯s impressive, awesome, buy it!¡± The order was instantly placed. ¡°Performance points of 3.6 million? How is this possible!¡± ¡°Hiss, is this the number one phone in the universe? 3.6 million points! Ridiculous! The Heyme 14, the number one phone advertised by Heyme, only has 1.1 million performance points. This¡­¡± After the news of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s phone spread, a large number of netizens rushed over. After seeing the description of the two phones, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with disbelief. ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t I place an order?¡± Some people studied it for a while and were prepared to place an order. A page popped up. A line of text appeared on it. [Sold out!] ¡°B*stard, one million Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones and 200,000 Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phones! It¡¯s only been a few minutes, less than 10 minutes, and they¡¯re all sold out!¡± ¡°No, I also want to support domestic products. I also want to buy a phone that has the Divine Dragon System installed!¡± ¡°Call the Divine Dragon Software Company, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company and Huawei! Tell them to hurry up.¡± In Dragon City, at the headquarters of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, Zhou Shaoyun was delegating work. ¡°Xiaoli, have you paid the 100 million yuan software usage fee to the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± ¡°President Zhou, I¡¯ve already made the payment!¡± Just then, Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s phone rang. When he saw that it was Li Chengqian calling, a smile appeared on his face. ¡°The money should have arrived. Li Chengqian has already called.¡± ¡°President Li, has the money for the operating system been received?¡± Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s tone was cheerful. ¡°President Zhou, I don¡¯t know if the money has arrived, but your one million phones have been sold out! Hurry up and ship the goods!¡± ¡°The demand for users is still very strong. Hurry up and produce phones!¡± ¡°We must have good quality control. This is more important than any sales!¡± Chapter 132 - 132 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 3 132 Sold Out in Ten Minutes 3 ¡°I¡¯m going to call President Wang and tell him that one million units of his phone have been sold out! Goodbye!¡± ¡°Wait, you said that one million phones have already been sold out?¡± Zhou Shaoyun was directly stunned by what Li Chengqian said. Only now did he react, his voice filled with disbelief. There was no response on the other end of the phone because Li Chengqian had already hung up. At this moment, the person-in-charge of the marketing department of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, Chen Yong, rushed into Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s office looking overjoyed. ¡°President Zhou, great news. One million Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones have been sold within ten minutes on the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s platform! As long as this trend continues, the sales of the phones produced by our company might exceed 100 million, or even 200 million.¡± Chen Yong¡¯s voice was trembling with excitement. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Chen Yong¡¯s update made Zhou Shaoyun excited. The company only sold 60 million mobile phones the year before. If he could sell more than 100 million units, it would be a huge achievement. With such achievement under his belt, there was hope that he would leave the company to join the headquarters at the National Telecommunications Company. If he could increase the sales to 200 million units, he would definitely join the National Telecommunications Company and have a high chance of becoming the deputy general manager. He would make great progress in his career. ¡°Xiaoli, inform the production department to come up for a meeting. We have to work three shifts at full capacity to ensure the supply of Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones. This month¡¯s production target is 20 million units¡­¡± Meanwhile, after Wang Renfei received Li Chengqian¡¯s call, while he was a little surprised, he wasn¡¯t shocked. This was because Huawei had encountered the same situation when it embarked on the path of self-development and was placed on the sanction list. The netizens¡¯ patriotic enthusiasm was unprecedentedly stimulated. Almost all the company¡¯s products were sold out within an extremely short period of time. In order to support Huawei, many people would even spend money to buy products they don¡¯t need. We must not leave our national hero in the lurch! The netizens saw Huawei¡¯s efforts in developing its own mobile phone system so as to break the foreign companies¡¯ chokehold on the country! It was the same for the Divine Dragon Phone System this time. The Divine Dragon Software Company had broken the foreign companies¡¯ chokehold and was the pride of the Divine Dragon Nation. Now, foreign companies wanted to suppress the Divine Dragon Software Company and kill the Divine Dragon System. The country wouldn¡¯t take this lying down and silently supported the Divine Dragon Software Company, both by funding and via their national policies! Even the laymen in the Divine Dragon Country who knew about this wouldn¡¯t take it lying down either. Just as they had said on the message board, while they couldn¡¯t do much, they could support the phones that had been installed with the Divine Dragon System! ¡°President Wang, how long will it take for your phones to be produced? How many phones can be put up for sale in the next tranche? The netizens keep calling the company. They¡¯re very agitated. I need to give them an update.¡± Right on the heels of that, the question that Li Chengqian¡¯s netizens were most concerned about was asked. ¡°President Li, we don¡¯t have much raw materials left¡­ The remaining materials are only enough to produce 100,000 units of the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone. In order to maintain Huawei¡¯s branding, I¡¯ll put up 10,000 phones every month for 10 months,¡± Wang Renfei replied with a bitter smile. ¡°Ten months later, if the issue of the mobile phone chip still can¡¯t be resolved, Huawei mobile phones¡­ will become history!¡± Wang Renfei¡¯s voice was filled with bitterness. Actually, the foreign countries had already made their stand. They want Huawei to give up on chip design, sell their chip design arm to Qualcomm, give up on developing the HarmonyOS System, and sell the HarmonyOS System to Android. In the future, Huawei would purchase Qualcomm processors and use the Android system. They would lift the sanctions if Huawei did so. However, Wang Renfei was unwilling to give in. He was prepared to persevere to the end. Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned again. The biggest problem with Huawei was still the chip! This issue was like a curse that could not be avoided! And the chip problem actually boiled down to the problem of the photolithography machine. As long as there was an advanced photolithography machine in the country that could produce 8-nanometer chips without any restrictions, the company¡¯s predicament could be immediately resolved. The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s plan to make their own phones could also be implemented immediately! ¡°The problem with the lithography machine is the most crucial problem. I must solve it!¡± Chapter 133 - 133 Black Technology, Brainwave Coding 133 Black Technology, Brainwave Coding The floor above the Divine Dragon Software Company had also been rented by Li Chengqian and transformed into his private studio. Zhao Na¡¯s eyes were enchanting. She was wearing a sheath skirt that revealed her curvy bottom. Her lips were red and shiny, luscious and tempting. She pointed at the workbench and said in a soft tone, ¡°Boss, the materials you asked me to arrange before you went to Dragon City are all here. The tools you asked me to customize are also here.¡± On the workbench, there were metal wires, various electronic components, and a few Helmets customized with special materials. In addition to the materials, there were also many tools and instruments. ¡°Alright, you go get on with your work.¡± Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the materials and tools on the table and was a little excited. ¡°Okay, Boss.¡± Zhao Na looked at Li Chengqian bitterly. ¡°Boss, have you considered the pay raise I asked you about the last time?¡± Not long ago, she heard from the finance department that the company had just received 100 million yuan! As an executive of a company that had an annual revenue of hundreds of millions, her monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan. She was too embarrassed to tell anyone, she needed a pay raise! ¡°Zhao Na, I remember we made a bet the last time¡­ as long as the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App exceeds 10 million in three days, what did you promise you would do?¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile, his eyes still pausing on some parts of Zhao Na¡¯s body. ¡°Boss, there have been a lot of people submitting resumes recently. I¡¯ll go deal with it first!¡± When Zhao Na heard this and saw Li Chengqian¡¯s lecherous expression, she immediately panicked. Her heart was pounding, and her face turned red. She immediately forgot about the pay raise. Like a frightened rabbit, she ran to the door in the blink of an eye. Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. He was for sure going to give a pay raise. Other than that, at the end of the year, he would also give the pioneers of the Divine Dragon Software Company a fat bonus. Turning around, Li Chengqian sat at the workbench. ¡°The verification machine for the brainwave receiver can be produced today!¡± ¡°As long as I can get the brainwave receiver out, it will be very easy to develop software in the future.¡± When he was developing the Divine Dragon Operating System core in Dragon City, he had been eating wolfberries for the entire night. His body was also constantly enduring the side effects of the Mental Coding skill. His body kept twitching. After completing the Divine Dragon operating system core, his entire body went numb. He didn¡¯t want to suffer the same way again. The brainwave receiver was the only thing that could eliminate the Mental Coding skill. After sorting out the relevant materials needed to create the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian began to activate his Skills. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± His face turned stony once the two Skills were activated at the same time. [Worker profession Passive Skill Tool Mastery (Master) activated. You have mastered the usage of tools such as electric drills, thermal wind guns, pliers, small knives, electronic workbenches, and so on.] [Worker profession Measurement Accuracy skill activated You are abnormally sensitive to size. Just by relying on your palms and eyes, you can detect deviations above 1 nanometer.] Li Chengqian went all out and began to build the brainwave receiver. Sensors, electronic devices, and wires were accurately installed on the silver helmet by Li Chengqian. 128 electrodes were placed inside the helmet! Compensation circuits, amplification circuits, filter circuits, control modules, transformation modules, and other extremely complicated circuit modules were installed by Li Chengqian in a box. They were connected to the inductive electrodes through wires. ¡°Done!¡± Three hours later, a first generation brainwave receiver was manufactured by Li Chengqian. The brainwave receiver was made up of the helmet portion and the signal processing portion. The processed signal can be sent to a computer via a USB port. Li Chengqian had already experimented just now. After putting on the helmet, a large amount of meaningless 01 data would be entered into the computer. Because their thoughts were different, the data entered into the computer was also different. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problems with the hardware, but it also needs the support of the driver and software.¡± The hardware of the brainwave receiver was very important, but the software was even more important. This was because the hardware could only input into the computer a bunch of 01s that no one could understand. It was meaningless. The driver software was to transform the 01 data entered by the brainwave receiver into words, images, and even videos. This process of conversion and transformation was done by the brainwave coding analysis technology. The technical difficulty was extremely high. In the world¡¯s most advanced laboratory, without special training, the accuracy rate of analyzing a brainwave using a supercomputer was less than 0.01%! Why was the brainwave coding analysis technology so difficult? This was because our brains were constantly thinking about many things at the same time. Moreover, meaningless images would flash through our minds, sudden inspiration, Will-O-Wisp, and so on. Every single thing will emitted a brainwave. With these brainwaves jumbled together, it was almost impossible to make a meaningful analysis. The method everyone used was to rely on the powerful computing power of the supercomputer to take the issue head on! The analysis rate was terrifyingly low. This method could be used in the laboratory, but it was impossible to commercialize it. However, this problem that puzzled the entire world was not a problem at all for Li Chengqian. This was because in the state of Focus and Rational Thinking, his brain was like a computer. He would not have any distracting thoughts. He thought about the word ¡°I¡± in his mind. During this period of time, the 01 data entered by the brainwave receiver corresponded to the word ¡°I¡±. Through this method, he accurately encoded the brainwaves. In 10 minutes, the number and mathematical symbol coding were completed. In 10 minutes, the English alphabet and symbol coding were completed. In five hours, 6,500 commonly used Chinese characters and punctuation marks were encoded. Then, Li Chengqian stopped. Through programming, he excluded all the data that did not belong to the code just now. Through this method, the distracting thoughts that suddenly flashed through his mind, the Will-O-Wisp, and so on would not interfere with the input. However, this method also had a drawback. It could only input text, not pictures and videos. ¡°The word mode is basically complete! But it¡¯s enough for the time being!¡± Li Chengqian opened a blank document and verified the accuracy and input speed of brainwave coding. Lines of code appeared accurately in the document. One minute later, he stopped and tabulated the data. ¡°In one minute, I can enter 3,087 characters. For ordinary people, this speed is definitely enough.¡± From then on, there was no longer a speed limit for text input. The faster the brain speed, the faster the input speed. What was black technology? This was true black technology! Compared to Li Chengqian¡¯s code, the operating system technology was trash! Even the Divine Dragon System was worthless when compared to this code. Based on normal development, it might take 50 years to encode the brainwaves to this extent and gather the power of the world! ¡°Wrong character¡­¡± Li Chengqian frowned. Although the accuracy of the input had reached 99.99%, he was still not satisfied and adjusted the wrong character code. Then, he started experimenting again! This time, he entered 3,259 characters in one minute. There were no errors. Immediately, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. ¡°The brainwave receiver is basically complete. What¡¯s next is to use it continuously to fine-tune the issues discovered.¡± ¡°With the brainwave receiver, the side effects of using the Mental Coding skill will disappear. I can start the development of the computer version of the Divine Dragon System¡­¡± ¡°I can also develop the special programming software of the Divine Dragon System!¡± These two tasks had been included in Li Chengqian¡¯s to-do list since he met Wang Renfei in Dragon City. The computer version of the Divine Dragon System could break the boycott. The special programming software of the Divine Dragon System was to deal with the possible suppression of the foreign giants. The mobile version of the Divine Dragon System didn¡¯t have its own software ecology. There were two problems with relying on Android¡¯s software ecology. Firstly, Android software did not have the performance of a native software. Secondly, there was still the risk of being boycotted by the giants. However, the side effects of the Mental Coding skill were too painful. So he had been waiting for the brainwave receiver to be completed. ¡°Brainwave coding is too important. In order to prevent the codes from being leaked, brainwave coding will not support the Windows, Linux, the Mac system.¡± ¡°Brainwave coding can only be used on the computer version of the Divine Dragon System! It¡¯s a unique technology of the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°After I use the brainwave receiver to complete the development of the computer version of the Divine Dragon System, the coding system of the brainwave receiver will be basically perfect.¡± ¡°When the time comes, the brainwave receiver and the computer version of the Divine Dragon System can be released together.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to hold a launch, just like the ones Heyme and OPPO had today!¡± Thinking of the launch, Li Chengqian looked at the time. ¡°It¡¯s already ten o¡¯clock? It¡¯s a pity that I missed the launch!¡± Li Chengqian had planned to watch the launch of a few phone manufacturers, but he lost track of time in the midst of working on the brainwave coding. ¡°I wonder how the sales at the launch went!¡± Chapter 134 - 134 Miserable Launch, Upgraded Skills 134 Miserable Launch, Upgraded Skills The Divine Dragon System, Heyme, and OPPO took the top three spots in trending topics respectively. Trending #1: 1.1 million phones installed with the Divine Dragon System sold out in 10 minutes Trending #2: Only 30,000 units of Heyme phones sold at a reduced price of 1,000 yuan In previous years¡¯ launches, the sales of Heyme phones had reached three million! Fastest fingers first. The sales volume this time was one percent of the previous years! The sales were very miserable. Trending #3: Worst ever OPPO launch. Only 50,000 were sold. On site sales was 200,000 units. OPPO phones were mainly sold in physical stores, but in the past, the livestreams of the launch would bring in more than a million units of sales, and the on site orders were around ten million units. The sales this time was way below everyone¡¯s expectations. The sales were terrible. Trending #4: National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company received offline orders for 50 million units in a day Li Chengqian smiled after reading the trending topics. Then, Li Chengqian clicked on a popular article written by The Guy Next Door, a tech blogger. It had been read more than two million times. ¡°Heyme and OPPO Lost Fair and Square. A Side-by-Side Comparison.¡± The Guy Next Door did a detailed review and comparison of the products from all aspects. The data was detailed and convincing. In the end, the conclusion was that the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone out-performed the OPPO and Heyme¡¯s flagship phones. The entry-level phones released by the three phone manufacturers this time were all 1,099 yuan. They were more expensive than the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone, but their performance was only one-sixth of Long Yao¡¯s. They were not cost-effective at all. Only diehard fans would buy them. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone was invincible. In the high-end field, the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone had a performance score of 3.6 million points. Its performance was way ahead of Apple by at least five years. The flagship phones released by the three mobile phone manufacturers paled in comparison to the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone. In the end, The Guy Next Door concluded, ¡°I think the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone will be the sales champion this year. In the high-end field, the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone will dominate the market this year.¡± ¡°Actually, Heyme and OOPO¡¯s phones are pretty good in terms of hardware, but there¡¯s a fatal problem with their phones¡­ They don¡¯t have the Divine Dragon System! With the enhancement of the Divine Dragon System, even if the performance of the flagship phones released this time isn¡¯t as good as the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone, the difference won¡¯t be that big.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for the entry-level model!¡± ¡°The only way these three phone factories can save the day is to install the Divine Dragon System.¡± There were already hundreds of thousands of comments under the article. ¡°If you don¡¯t compare, you won¡¯t know. These so-called black technologies of Heyme, such as liquid storage, atomic memory, focus calculation, intelligent equilibrium technology, and so on, these are primitive when compared to the Divine Dragon System¡¯s application freeze technology, memory optimization technology, Information interface technology, pre-start technology and advanced battery management technology and process hibernation technology! The difference is like heaven and earth.¡± ¡°Do you want a hand warmer? Heyme, you¡¯re worth it.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Divine Dragon System would be so powerful. The 30 megapixel camera of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone produces much better photos than OPPO¡¯s 100 million pixel camera.¡± ¡°The livestream of today¡¯s launch was exciting. The sales volume was to be revealed in the last segment, it was to be displayed on the big screen. At that time, Lei Che said confidently, ¡°Please look at the big screen. When he turned around and saw that the number was only 25,000, that look on his face, the shock, the astonishment, the disbelief¡­ Look at the emoji!¡± At the press conference, Lei Che¡¯s stunned expression was screengrabbed. ¡°I saved it!¡± ¡°This stunned look is classic! Save it!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you see Qian Yongming leaving in a daze. You can feel his pain.¡± Qian Yongming left the press conference immediately. A screenshot of his dejected expression was immediately displayed. ¡°Hey, Vivo¡¯s launch was also very exciting! Shen Wansan cursed and swore at the scene. Would you believe it?¡± Then, a picture of Shen Wansan cursing with a ferocious expression was posted. ¡°I¡¯ve saved it, I¡¯ve saved it!¡± ¡°Buyer looking for a Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone. Willing to pay an additional 500 yuan! PM me¡­ ¡°Buyer looking for a Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone. Willing to pay an additional 5,000 yuan. I¡¯ll take as many as you have¡­!¡± At this point, Li Chengqian closed the webpage with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s almost time, but not yet¡­¡± ¡°When they have used up all their moves and are truly in despair, that will be the time for me to consolidate the domestic mobile phone manufacturers. At that time, I will be able to have an absolute say in the mobile phone industry.¡± Very quickly, Li Chengqian put this matter on the back burner. His focus was once again placed on the brainwave receiver. He had just used the brainwave receiver in the manner of an ordinary person. He did not use the Mental Coding skill. Now, he wanted to experiment and use the Mental Coding skill to see if the side effects would disappear. This was of utmost importance to him. He swallowed ten medicinal wolfberries. This time, his hands weren¡¯t on the computer, but on the armrests of the chair. His body was also leaning against the chair in the most comfortable position, and he was wearing a light and comfortable helmet. Then, the Game skills were activated! ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental Coding!¡± In the past, after the Mental Coding skill was activated, his body would twitch uncontrollably because of the transmission of brainwaves. And now, he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort at all. He felt that through the helmet on his head, a data channel had been constructed between him and the computer. The data connection was very smooth. It was very easy and comfortable to enter the data. It was completely different from when he used his arms as a data channel in the past. [Mental Coding skill (Proficient) has been enhanced by the brainwave receiver (Experimental). The side effects have disappeared. The duration has increased by four times, from 5 minutes to 20 minutes.] Then, Li Chengqian began to try entering the data. He made a copy of the source code of the Divine Dragon System and renamed it the Divine Dragon System Computer Edition. The modification of the source code began. In a minute, a total of 3,000 new lines of code were written by Li Chengqian. This was because the Divine Dragon System was built on micro-core architecture design. It was not that difficult to transplant from a phone to a computer. He only had to modify a small number of core codes and driver codes and add a unified system desktop. Then, it could be used directly. In 20 minutes, the reconstruction of the core code was completed, and 60,000 lines of code were written. The effect of the Mental Coding skill also ended at the same time. After the Mental Coding skill ended, he didn¡¯t feel sore. Other than feeling a little tired, he didn¡¯t feel any physical discomfort. ¡°I finally got it out! This time, I¡¯m going to go all out! I¡¯m coming after your territories. Let¡¯s see if you still dare to restrict me every day!¡± Li Chengqian was too excited and stood up from the sofa. In the past, what restricted him from using the Mental Coding skill had always been the side effects of using the skill. Now that the issue of the side effects had been resolved, nothing could hold him back anymore. Without thinking, he opened his personal interface, selected the Mental Coding skill, and chose to upgrade! [You have consumed 200,000 experience value points. You have upgraded your Mental Coding proficiency to Proficient (0/400,000). You have 1.4 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have consumed 400,000 experience value points. You have upgraded your Mental Coding proficiency to Expert (0/600,000) level. You have 1 million experience value points left in the Experience Pool.] [You have consumed 200,000 experience value points. You have upgraded your Mental Coding proficiency to Proficient (0/400,000). You have 1.4 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] Apart from being able to input words, the Mental Coding skill at the Expert level also increased the input ability of images, audio, and videos. The duration also became two hours. Li Chengqian had wanted to upgrade the Mental Coding skill to Master Level at one go, but he did not have enough experience value points. ¡°I¡¯ve increased the ability to input images, audio, and videos!¡± He could directly input imaginary images into the computer through coding in his mind. ¡°The duration has also become two hours. With the enhancement of the brainwave receiver, the actual usage time has also become eight hours. That¡¯s sufficient for my use.¡± Then, Li Chengqian grabbed a handful of wolfberries and popped them in his mouth, and he continued to work on perfecting the Divine Dragon System Computer Version. Windows was one of the companies that boycotted him. If Windows blocked the mobile version of the Divine Dragon System, then Li Chengqian would use the computer version of the Divine Dragon System to let them have a taste of how formidable the System was. ¡°I want to use the Divine Dragon System Computer Version and the brainwave receiver to drive Windows out of the Divine Dragon Nation. Right on the heels of that, the Divine Dragon System Computer Version will enter the world market and occupy it step by step!¡± With the Mental Coding skill and the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian was absolutely confident that he could do this. The Bbrainwave receiver was a true black technology that would only be used to support the Divine Dragon System. Just this point alone would kill the Windows. This was because the brainwave receiver would completely change the input method of computers and increase the efficiency by hundreds of times! Just imagine a software company using the Divine Dragon System with the brainwave receiver. The development would be a hundred times more efficient. On the other hand, a company didn¡¯t use the Divine Dragon System and didn¡¯t have the support of the brainwave receiver. The development would be a hundred times less efficient. Could such a company last long? Impossible! Chapter 135 - 135 Pitfall Eliminated, Rewards Reaped 135 Pitfall Eliminated, Rewards Reaped Early the next morning, Li Chengqian alighted from the car on Peach Blossom Mountain. ¡°Wait for me here!¡± After Li Chengqian said this, he took the huge suitcase that he had prepared in advance and crawled into the dense forest according to his memory of the last trip. During this period of time, he had consumed a lot of wolfberries. Last night, he had consumed all he had. He needed to replenish the resources that could restore his stamina. Although medicinal wolfberries were not bad, and each wolfberry could replenish 1 point of stamina, it was not enough for Li Chengqian. ¡°The Manufacturing Principles skill requires hundreds of thousands of Stamina Points just to perform a task like analyzing a mobile phone processor. Although the Stamina Points can be consumed in batches after the Manufacturing Principles skill have been upgraded to the Master level, if he only relied on the supplementary effect of wolfberries, he might take half a year to analyze the most advanced manufacturing principles of a mobile phone processor.¡± With hundreds of thousands of Stamina Points consumption, he had to eat hundreds of kilograms of wolfberries. Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t take it at all. Even if he ate it every day and every meal, and he ate until he got sick of it, it would still take a month to accumulate so much stamina. ¡°According to my experience with the Master of All Professions game in my previous life, as long as we don¡¯t harvest the plants planted with the Farmer Profession skills, the medicinal power will increase with time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a month since I planted the ginseng seed in the mountain. Perhaps¡­¡± Li Chengqian strode through the dense forest with anticipation. He continued to advance along the route he had used the last time. Because it was spring, the traces left behind from his last trip had already disappeared. The path had even become more difficult to walk on. Li Chengqian was happy instead of shocked. This just meant that no one had come on this path after him. The probability of someone picking the ginseng instantly decreased. Soon, Li Chengqian arrived at the place where he had planted the seeds the last time. There were lush ginseng leaves on the four units of land reclaimed using the Wasteland Reclamation skill. Li Chengqian remembered that when he left, there were only a few leaves on each ginseng plant. There weren¡¯t enough leaves to cover the fertile black soil. But now, the ground was already covered by dense ginseng leaves, and there was no trace of soil at all. The land reclaimed using the Wasteland Reclamation skill was one meter long and wide. There was a ginseng plant at every 10 cm interval, and they were planted using the Planting skill. There were a total of 400 ginseng plants on the four units of land. ¡°Let¡¯s try harvesting a unit of ginseng first.¡± Harvest skill activated. Immediately, the ginseng plants on one unit of land disappeared, revealing the dark and fertile land. Three piles of items appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [Thirty-year ginseng: 85 pieces] [Characteristics of thirty-year ginseng: Each stalk can recover 1,000 Stamina Points.] ¡°Alright!¡± After reading the introduction on the thirty-year ginseng, Li Chengqian was very excited. Each ginseng was only the size of a last finger, but the restoration effect was 1,000 times that of wolfberries! Moreover, through the characteristics of the thirty-year ginseng, Li Chengqian understood that the rules in the Master of All Profession game were still effective in reality. If he could turn an ordinary ginseng into a 30-year ginseng in a month, what if he planted them for 100 days? Perhaps what was needed was a 100-year ginseng. The effect would definitely be much more awesome and exciting than a 30-year ginseng. Then, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze shifted to the second pile of items. [Vitality Ginseng: 15 pieces] [Special ginseng mutated from ordinary ginseng. The probability of ordinary thirty-year ginseng mutating is 15%. Each ginseng can recover 10,000 Stamina Points.] ¡°Gasp¡­ One stalk restores 10,000 Stamina Points! This is really good stuff!¡± After Li Chengqian read the introduction, his eyes lit up. The Vitality Ginseng was only the size of a broad bean and was completely blood-red. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Chengqian looked at the last pile of items. [High-quality ginseng seeds: 6,587 seeds] [The growth effect of a high-quality ginseng seed is twice that of a normal seed. The probability of a thirty-year ginseng mutating into a Vitality ginseng is 50%. The longer it is planted, the greater the probability of mutation.] A day was equivalent to a year for ordinary ginseng seeds, and a day was equivalent to two years for high-quality seeds. After 15 days, half of the ginseng would turn into Vitality ginseng. ¡°Good stuff! To me, it¡¯s simply a heavenly object!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s breathing became hurried. It wouldn¡¯t be long before his stamina was enough to support the use of the Manufacturing Principles skill on his laptop. He would analyze the entire laptop! He would master the manufacturing technology of the various components of a laptop, CPU, GPU, memory, hard disk, screen, and a series of other technologies. After mastering the manufacturing principles, he would use his Expedited Processing skill to quickly create a new laptop using a pile of sand, recycled plastic, discarded screens, and other materials. Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to release his Harvesting skill on the other three units of land. Peach Blossom Mountain was open to the public. It was very risky to plant ginseng here. It would be a huge loss to Li Chengqian if someone came along and dug up the ginseng. Therefore, before coming, Li Chengqian had already thought it through. This time, he wanted to dig up all the ginseng. There were 340 pieces of thirty-year ginseng, 60 pieces of Vitality ginseng, and 25,000 high-quality ginseng seeds. After putting these three items in the suitcase, Li Chengqian used his Planting skill to plant wolfberries. Not long after, Li Chengqian crawled out of the dense forest with two large bags of fresh wolfberries. This time, after using his Harvesting skill to harvest the wolfberries, he didn¡¯t plant anything on the four units of land. He had completely eliminated the pitfall on Peach Blossom Mountain. After all, if the relevant departments discovered the abnormality on this land, there was a high chance that they would track him down. This was a huge risk to Li Chengqian. The Master of All Professions game must not be exposed. ¡­ At the Divine Dragon Software Company, under Zhao Na¡¯s curious gaze, Li Chengqian carried the suitcase and two large bags of wolfberries to his private studio upstairs. ¡°What¡¯s going on with Li Chengqian? Is he sick or was he burnt out?¡± ¡°Ever since I met him, he has been chewing wolfberries every day!¡± ¡°Especially last night, I could smell the medicinal fragrance of wolfberries even through the door. Moreover, last night, Li Chengqian said something especially strange¡­¡± Recalling what she had unintentionally heard from Li Chengqian¡¯s room last night, Zhao Na felt a little embarrassed. At that time, Li Chengqian said excitedly, ¡®Let¡¯s go all out!¡¯ This didn¡¯t sound like a good thing. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Li Chengqian being very intimate with that woman either¡­ He¡¯s been chewing wolfberries every day. Where does all that energy go? Doesn¡¯t he feel uncomfortable?¡± Watching Li Chengqian chewing wolfberries every day, Zhao Na even made an effort to investigate further. She found that wolfberries were used to treat weak kidneys¡­ ¡°Could it be that he has some special fetish?¡± ¡­ Li Chengqian returned to the studio, grabbed a handful of wolfberries, and popped them in his mouth. He quickly entered work mode. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental Coding!¡± ¡°When He Hongyan, Zhou Shaoyun, and Wang Renfei come over tomorrow, I¡¯ll show them the input effect of the brainwave receiver first. This will boost their confidence.¡± This morning, Li Chengqian received a call from a few people saying that they needed to come to Tianyi City to talk to Li Chengqian in person. Chapter 136 - 136 An Attack on the Software Ecosystem 136 An Attack on the Software Ecosystem ¡°I¡¯ve finally finished all five machines!¡± At 10 o¡¯clock the following morning, inside Li Chengqian¡¯s private studio, the five handmade brainwave receivers were connected to the computers. These computers that were connected to the brainwave receivers had all been installed with the computer version of the Divine Dragon System. [Divine Dragon System Computer Version Completion Rate 100%, Software grade B-.] [You have completed the development of the Divine Dragon System Computer Version. You have received 2 million experience value points. There are 2.3 million experience value points left in the Experience Pool.] This was the first B- grade software developed by Li Chengqian. It might also be the first B- grade software in the world. The operating efficiency of the system was very high, and it worked very smoothly. There was no lag, and it fully utilized the performance of the hardware to an extreme level. In terms of software ecology, Li Chengqian developed a Divine Dragon Compiler in addition to building into the system an optimized Divine Dragon virtual machine and an optimized Linux virtual machine. With the Divine Dragon Compiler installed, the Windows and Apple software codes would be converted into native Divine Dragon system programs with only one line of command. Next, Li Chengqian was prepared to develop more advanced and intelligent software development tools for the Divine Dragon System. ¡°President Li, President He of Baidu, President Zhou of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, and President Wang of Huawei are already in the meeting room. What should we do next?¡± Zhao Na¡¯s voice came from the door. ¡°Please ask them to wait for a moment. I¡¯ll be right down!¡± After Li Chengqian answered, he tested the effects of the five brainwave receivers one by one. After confirming that there were no issues, he went downstairs and took a seat amidst everyone¡¯s greeting. After a quick chat, the formal meeting began. ¡°President Li, the current production capacity of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone has reached 15 million units a month.¡± Zhou Shaoyun was beaming with joy. ¡°It¡¯s just that the production capacity still can¡¯t keep up. The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company just received a huge order of 100 million units. Online orders have already exceeded 10 million units.¡± Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s face was flushed when he mentioned the orders. He had been at the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company for a few years. He had always been the one to beg the National Telecommunications Company to help digest the phones produced by his company. As he had gone to beg for help many times, the heads of the relevant units at the National Telecommunications Company would shun Zhou Shaoyun whenever they saw him. Ever since the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone installed with the Divine Dragon System became popular, the CEO of the National Telecommunications Company, who was also his immediate superior, had to call him personally in order to obtain a quota for the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones. This was a treatment that Zhou Shaoyun had never received before. ¡°President Li, apart from domestic orders, there are also a few international companies that are very interested in the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone.¡± ¡°They are keen because of the advanced system and the cost-effectiveness of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone. They wanted to order a batch from me¡­ but I rejected them all.¡± There was pride in Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s eyes. Ever since he joined the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, he had many visions and ambitions, but he had never thought that foreign countries would want to import the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones because of its advanced technology. Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone, from hardware to system, 100% domestically produced! Domestic products were synonymous with backwardness for a long time. However, the Divine Dragon System changed everything. Because of the Divine Dragon System, domestic products were related to advanced technology. ¡°President Li, apart from bringing you the good news, I¡¯m currently facing a few problems¡­¡± ¡°The first problem is that the supply of chips, memory, and hard drives can¡¯t keep up. We can only supply 15 million sets a month. This limits the maximum production capacity of our phones.¡± ¡°The second problem is the price. The price of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone has a huge impact on the mid- and low-end phones of other mobile phone manufacturers in the country. The sales of Heyme, OPPO and Vivo phones have been seriously affected. Do you think we need to adjust the price of our phones?¡± The adjustment of the phone pricing required Li Chengqian¡¯s approval. This was a term written in the contract. ¡°The third problem is the software problem. According to reliable sources, Android is doing its best to adjust the mechanism of the Android SDK. After the new SDK is updated, all Android software will automatically add a verification code during the development process, so that Android apps cannot run on the Divine Dragon System.¡± Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s face became extremely serious when he said this. The Divine Dragon System was indeed a very advanced system, but no one would use a system that was not supported by applications, no matter how advanced it was. For example, WeChat, QQ, and other common applications. If they could not run on the Divine Dragon System, many people would definitely give up on the Divine Dragon System¡¯s phone. If this problem was not resolved, it would be fatal to the Divine Dragon System. ¡°President Zhou, I understand!¡± Li Chengqian wrote down Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s questions in his notebook one by one. ¡°Let me gather all your questions and deal with them together.¡± ¡°President Wang, may I ask what your issues are?¡± Li Chengqian looked at Wang Renfei. Wang Renfei said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any other issues for the time being, I just don¡¯t have enough chips.¡± The key problem Huawei faced in the mobile phone business had always been that chips could not be produced. If this problem was not resolved everything else was in vain. ¡°I suggest that the software problem that President Zhou mentioned be placed in the first priority.¡± Then, Wang Renfei commented on the software ecology issue. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve taken note of this! President He, what about you?¡± Li Chengqian turned to look at He Hongyan. ¡°I¡¯ve already received confirmation that the Android SDK will be updated in five days. By that time, all Android apps will automatically add a verification mechanism and no longer support the Divine Dragon System.¡± He Hongyan¡¯s expression was extremely serious. As long as the Android SDK is used to make the updated Android software, a verification mechanism will automatically be added. It will use network verification, and it can¡¯t be hacked. Even if the software manufacturers wanted to allow the Divine Dragon System to use their software, they couldn¡¯t do so. It was impossible to develop a software exclusive to the Divine Dragon System within five days. In addition, the tools for developing the software of the Divine Dragon System, the SDK, and so on had not been developed. Even if there were developers who wanted to develop software for the Divine Dragon System, there were no tools. ¡°The only good news at the moment is that the software developed before the SDK update is still usable!¡± ¡°But this is not a long-term solution!¡± ¡°I have to complete the special programming tools of the Divine Dragon System and SDK, as soon as possible. Otherwise, without app ecological support, the number of users of the Divine Dragon System will decrease.¡± ¡°The Android company is determined to kill us this time. They chose our weakest spot to attack us ruthlessly and viciously. It just so happens that we don¡¯t have our own software ecology.¡± He Hongyan¡¯s expression was very grave. Instantly, Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s expression changed and became extremely serious. Without app support, the sales of Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones might not be as good as before. He would immediately be beaten back to his original state. In particular, even if they discovered bugs in the mobile phone software, they would not dare to modify the bugs and update the functions under the verification mechanism of Android SDK. Once any changes were made to the software, the verification mechanism by the Android SDK would be added and the Divine Dragon System wouldn¡¯t be able to run on the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones. In the long run, when the software became old and the technology became outdated, it would definitely be eliminated by users. After He Hongyan spoke, all eyes were immediately on Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm. He didn¡¯t reveal that he was affected in any way by the bad news. ¡°I¡¯ll answer President Zhou¡¯s question first.¡± ¡°The first problem is that we don¡¯t have enough CPU, memory, and other supplies. I can¡¯t help you solve it for the time being.¡± Based on the current situation, he had to wait until September, when he took on the University Student profession, before he could think of a way to solve the problem of chip production. ¡°As for the second problem, we cannot increase the price of Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones unless the prices of raw materials are rising.¡± ¡°Although this will have a huge impact on the relevant phone manufacturers, let¡¯s think along another line¡­¡± ¡°Long Yao phones are bestsellers. They will give manufacturers a large number of orders and profits to supply CPUs, memory, hard disks, cameras, screens, and so on. The profits can also push suppliers to increase their investment and upgrade their technology¡­¡± ¡°If this benign chain can be maintained, the relevant industries in the country will develop.¡± ¡°The other manufacturers¡¯ valuable core components are imported. Even if they are popular, they won¡¯t be of much use to the relevant domestic industries.¡± ¡°President Zhou, if Long Yao¡¯s phone is exported, I suggest you increase the price by three times! When the time comes, the system¡¯s authorization fee will also increase by three times,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°Regarding the third problem, you don¡¯t have to worry about the software ecology¡­¡± The software ecology problem was the most fatal problem everyone was very worried about. Seeing that everyone¡¯s faces were still solemn, he had a faint smile on his lips. He felt that he needed to boost the confidence of his partners. ¡°Come with me. I¡¯ll show you something good!¡± ¡°You¡¯ll understand after seeing it!¡± Chapter 137 - 137 Mental Inputting. Shocking! 137 Mental Inputting. Shocking! Under Li Chengqian¡¯s lead, the group went up to Li Chengqian¡¯s private studio on the second floor. The five brainwave receivers came into everyone¡¯s sight the moment they entered the studio. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± He Hongyan asked curiously. He didn¡¯t understand how this sci-fi looking helmet was related to the software problem they were currently facing. ¡°Brainwave receiver!¡± Looking at everyone¡¯s increasingly puzzled expressions, Li Chengqian continued to explain. ¡°Have you ever heard of brainwave typing?¡± ¡°This is what the brainwave receiver is for.¡± As he spoke, Li Chengqian put on a helmet. ¡°I know about the brainwave receiver. It¡¯s the latest scientific research. It¡¯s very popular, but it can¡¯t be commercialized.¡± ¡°But what¡¯s the connection between this instrument and solving the software ecology problem?¡± He Hongyan became more and more puzzled. He had actually tried the brainwave receiver before. It was a very cool and trendy thing, but the recognition rate of the mental input was too low. It was only good for acting cool. The others also knew about the brainwave receiver, and they had the same doubts as He Hongyan. ¡°President He, my brainwave receiver is different from the others¡­¡± ¡°You guys will understand after watching me use it once.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and opened a document on the computer. The demonstration of mental inputting began. In a few breaths¡¯ time, the questions that Zhou Shaoyun and the others had raised at the Divine Dragon Software Company formed standard text materials. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± When He Hongyan and the others saw this scene, they were all so shocked that their eyes widened and they sucked in a breath of cold air. Their faces were filled with disbelief. ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± Zhao Na was in disbelief at first. Then, her eyes lit up as she looked at the brainwave receiver. The effect of Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration just now was too shocking. If she also had a brainwave receiver, she might only need an hour to complete the work that day. The quality of the work would definitely be higher than before. On the computer screen, Li Chengqian brought up a simple statistical interface. Input Time: 20 seconds Number of characters: 1,050 Input speed: 3,150 words per minute This was 10 times the maximum input speed of humans. Moreover, if he input manually by typing, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes. However, as long as he focused his attention, there would not be any mistakes when he input via the brainwave receiver. Under the shocked gazes of the others, Li Chengqian did not stop. Instead, he opened another document. With a thought, lines of code quickly appeared in the document. Li Chengqian stopped one minute later. A simple calculator program had been completed. In front of everyone, Li Chengqian started the program and did a few calculations. Then, Li Chengqian pulled out the statistical interface. Input Time: 1 minute Number of characters: 6,741 Number of code lines: 123 Input speed: 6,741 characters/minute An outstanding programmer in today¡¯s world could only produce an average of 100 lines of code a day. Just now, using mental inputting, Li Chengqian completed within a minute what for others was a day¡¯s workload, without using any game Skills. In other words, even an ordinary person could achieve such efficiency with the help of the brainwave receiver. After another demonstration, the four people present were stunned beyond words. The brainwave receiver would revolutionize input technology and increase input efficiency by hundreds of times! For computer users, an increase in input efficiency was an increase in productivity. Although it was impossible to increase the efficiency by hundreds of times, it could easily increase by dozens of times. To internet companies, this tool was simply equivalent to nuclear weapon-level. Comparing the brainwave receiver to keyboard inputting was like comparing keyboard inputting with writing. This was a technological advancement that transcended an era. Seeing the surprise on their faces, Li Chengqian smiled and pointed at the other four computers. ¡°Do you want to give it a try?¡± The four of them immediately wore the brainwave receivers on their heads. They opened a document under Li Chengqian¡¯s guidance. Words were accurately entered into the document through their thoughts. When they saw Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, they were already very shocked. When they used it personally, they found that it was easy to get started and the input was extremely fast and error free. Shocking! Unbelievable! It was extremely shocking! ¡°Amazing! I entered 2,754 characters in one minute without a single typo error. How did I do it?¡± In just one minute, Wang Renfei used his mind to enter a piece about his childhood. ¡°It¡¯s so useful! This thing is simply a divine tool for office work!¡± In five minutes, Zhao Na had completed a 5,000-word report. If she used her hands, she would need a day to complete it. ¡°It¡¯s too advanced. I thought this kind of sci-fi thing only existed in sci-fi movies. I didn¡¯t expect it to exist at President Li¡¯s place.¡± After the experiment, Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s eyes lit up, filled with immense shock. While the others experimented with Chinese characters, He Hongyan experimented with a few lines of code. He entered 5,700 characters without one minute. Then, he checked the code from beginning to end. Not a single character was wrong! Select debug run! The document search program that he had just written started running. ¡°The input speed is 100 times faster than keyboard input speed. There won¡¯t be any errors in the input!¡± What was in his mind was what was inputted into the computer. There wouldn¡¯t be any errors. This was very critical! Most of the time, there would be an input error when you typed with your hands, which would affect your work efficiency. You might even make a code error and spend a lot of time looking for bugs. The brainwave receiver directly put an end to this situation. ¡°President Li, this is a great invention! This would change the internet!¡± He Hongyan was very excited. ¡°President Li, how much is a brainwave receiver?¡± He Hongyan¡¯s eyes were burning, and his voice was filled with desire. If Baidu had such a divine tool, the speed of technological innovation would increase by dozens of times. One year of development work would be equivalent to the past 10 years¡¯ work. The speed of technological advancement would be expedited. With the enhancement of the brainwave receiver, even a pig could take off. Wang Renfei and Zhou Shaoyun stood up at the same time, staring straight at Li Chengqian. They also wanted to buy it! After Li Chengqian saw the desire in their eyes, he did not mention the sale. Instead, he said slowly, ¡°Everyone, what do you think of the brainwave receiver and the mental inputting?¡± ¡°This is a technological innovation that will change everything!¡± Wang Renfei nodded with absolute certainty. ¡°It¡¯s like black technology! I can¡¯t even understand how you did it.¡± Zhou Shaoyun¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. ¡°Amazing! This is simply amazing!¡± Zhao Na¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. ¡°President Li, I¡¯m convinced! But what I want to ask is, are you planning to sell this brainwave receiver? How much is it?¡± He Hongyan was shocked. Then, he pointed at the helmet and continued to ask. ¡°President Li, are you selling it or not? Give us an indication.¡± Wang Renfei also looked at Li Chengqian with a face full of longing. As long as Li Chengqian sold it, he was willing to pay any price. Chapter 138 - 138 Divine Dragon Compiler, A Bold Declaration 138 Divine Dragon Compiler, A Bold Declaration ¡°The brainwave receiver must be used in conjunction with the computer version of the Divine Dragon System. Without the support of this System, it would be useless even if I sell it to you.¡± Li Chengqian smiled while shaking his head. The brainwave receiver was created to resolve the side effects of the Mental Coding skill. Naturally, he could sell it. However, it needed to be used with the Divine Dragon System. Disappointment was written on everyone¡¯s faces when they heard what Li Chengqian said. They thought that Li Chengqian had no immediate plans to sell the brainwave receiver. ¡°Please let me finish my introduction on the Divine Dragon System, and I¡¯ll tell you the price of the brainwave receiver thereafter.¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I¡¯ll reserve 200 units first.¡± He Hongyan seemed to be worried that Li Chengqian would go back on his word. ¡°Our company wants 500 units,¡± Wang Renfei said without hesitation. ¡°The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company wants 100 units first,¡± Zhou Shaoyun added. Zhao Na was very excited because she knew that Li Chengqian would definitely set up a brainwave receiver for the Divine Dragon Software Company before selling it. ¡°You guys should listen to my introduction on the Divine Dragon System first.¡± Li Chengqian nodded to show that he had noted what they said. Then, he introduced the computer version of the Divine Dragon System. Just now, a few of them were too shocked by the brainwave receiver and didn¡¯t pay attention to the computer version of the Divine Dragon System at all. At this moment, their attention finally came back to this. Their faces filled with shock. ¡°The Divine Dragon System was built on micro-core architecture design. You only need to make simple modifications to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System to adapt it for the computer.¡± After the simple explanation, Li Chengqian continued his introduction. ¡°Adopting the same advanced technology of the mobile phone system, the computer version can be twice as good as the Windows system! Even with hardware from five years ago, it can still operate very smoothly once it was installed with the Divine Dragon System.¡± No one had any doubts about the performance of the computer version of the Divine Dragon System. Any product by Li Chengqian would definitely be top-notch! ¡°It supports the X86 framework, ARM framework, and the Dragon Core framework!¡± All processors produced by Intel and AMD use the X86 architecture, dominating almost all computers and servers. The ARM architecture was adopted by most mobile phone processors, and there was a tendency to develop into a server CPU. As for the Dragon Core framework, it was a processor framework developed domestically. The performance of the processor was relatively backward. ¡°The application system is compatible with Android and Linux software!¡± Upon hearing this, He Hongyan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°President Li, why don¡¯t we develop our own software system? Just in case there is another incident of Android upgrading their SDK so as to be incompatible with our system.¡± The others felt the same way. Although it was very satisfying to use an Android compatible app to solve the initial software ecology problem, there would be serious pitfalls in the later stages. Just like what happened with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System this time. ¡°President He, don¡¯t worry,¡± Li Chengqian replied before continuing. ¡°In terms of native applications, I¡¯ve developed the Divine Dragon Compiler! With a command, the developer can directly convert the source code of Windows, Apple, and Linux systems into the native Divine Dragon software.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Compiler also supports Android application source codes and compiles it into the native software of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System!¡± BOOM! When they heard what Li Chengqian said, everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they looked at him in extreme shock. One click converts the software into a native program of the Divine Dragon System. This was even more unbelievable than developing the operating system alone. If these words had come from anyone else, they would definitely not believe a single word. However, these words were said by Li Chengqian. No matter how unbelievable the technology was, they would choose to believe him. Li Chengqian could even create something as incredible as a brainwave receiver, so it was not difficult for them to believe that the Divine Dragon Compiler was possible. ¡°So, the software ecology problem that everyone has been talking about just now has actually never been a problem,¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. ¡°The Divine Dragon Compiler performs secondary processing on Android source codes. After compilation, it can be used on the Divine Dragon System. Compared to using the Android app, its performance and efficiency are more than 50% higher.¡± ¡°Of course, this is also a temporary solution. Next, I will start to develop the smart programming tools specially used by the Divine Dragon System. Coupled with the brainwave receiver and the mental input technology, developers can quickly complete the development of native applications.¡± Everyone looked at Li Chengqian as if they were looking at a monster. They were shocked. Something as amazing as the Divine Dragon Compiler was only part of a temporary solution. A temporary solution could actually allow Android applications to work 50% better and to run more smoothly on the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. It was ridiculous! ¡°President He, I¡¯ll hand over the Divine Dragon Compiler to you. After Android updates the SDK, starts telling the whole world that we can¡¯t do it, you can aggressively promote the Divine Dragon Compiler!¡± ¡°We want to foil Android¡¯s scheme, and give them a slap on the face.¡± ¡°I want to show them openly that the technology of our Divine Dragon System is stronger than Android.¡± ¡°Whether they¡¯re willing or not, I want to use Android¡¯s application ecology to establish the application ecology of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°I want to be a bandit! What can they do! Can they refuse? Do they have the ability to fight back?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was bold and ambitious. Actually, developing a special programming tool for the Divine Dragon System was not difficult for Li Chengqian at all, but he had been dragging his feet on this. Why? The first reason was that he was truly busy! The second reason was that he did it on purpose! He wanted Android and Android¡¯s parent company to have a taste of their own medicine. Li Chengqian remembered the bans issued by Google and other foreign giants on the Divine Dragon Software. Actually, there were still some things that Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t brought up. Through this matter, not only could he give Android a tight slap, but he could also foil Android¡¯s schemes and dampen Android¡¯s spirit. It could also severely destroy the confidence of Heyme and other related companies that used the Android system! Li Chengqian had taken another step forward on his plan to control the domestic mobile phone industry. Li Chengqian¡¯s ambitious statements moved everyone. How bold! In the past, it was always foreign companies that acted openly as bandits. For example, the Qualcomm Tax, the price of a 5G Snapdragon 888 chip was 1,200 yuan. The actual production cost was less than 100 yuan! Moreover, one had to pay upfront before they would take their own sweet time to ship the goods. One was at their mercy. What was robbery! This was robbery! Even robbery wasn¡¯t that nasty! And now, Li Chengqian was in the lead in software technology, causing the roles to gradually reverse. In terms of mobile phone hardware, they were still unable to fight against the barbaric policies of the foreign companies. The law of the jungle would always apply. But in terms of software, he had already laid the foundation to go out and fight for a foothold. Chapter 139 - 139 Preparing for the Press Conference 139 Preparing for the Press Conference Finally, the topic returned to the pricing of the brainwave receiver. ¡°The price of the brainwave receiver is temporarily set at 100,000 yuan per set, including the mainframe computer, the Divine Dragon System, and the brainwave receiver.¡± After careful consideration, Li Chengqian gave an extremely favorable price. The cost price of the entire system was 8,092 yuan. The computer mainframe cost 5,000 yuan. The brainwave receiver cost about 1,500 yuan. The Divine Dragon System was priced at 199 yuan per year. Based on the eight years of use, the system cost 1,592 yuan. He Hongyan and the others were stunned when they heard this price. Because the price was much lower than they had expected! The psychological expected price of the brainwave receiver was about 1 million yuan per unit, and Li Chengqian was offering to sell it for 100,000 yuan per unit. It was unbelievably cheap! ¡°President Li, I want all five of them!¡± ¡°Sell them all to me! I¡¯ll pay one million!¡± ¡°President Li, I want to order 1,000 units!¡± Immediately, the industry big shots started clamoring over the ownership of the five brainwave receivers. They even began to discuss how to split the future orders amongst themselves. This scene stunned Zhao Na. Li Chengqian said in a raised voice, ¡°Listen to me.¡± Seeing that he had finally got everyone¡¯s attention, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°Each of you will bring one set back to try it out.¡± ¡°President He, you just said that Android wants to update the SDK on the morning of April 13th? They are aiming to make Android apps incompatible with the Divine Dragon System, right?¡± Li Chengqian changed the topic. After receiving He Hongyan¡¯s affirmative answer, he said with a smile, ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has been established for a period of time and has also developed some products, but there hasn¡¯t been a press conference.¡± ¡°I will take this opportunity to hold a press conference.¡± ¡°The press conference will be held online at 2pm on April 13th.¡± ¡°The brainwave receiver, the computer version of the Divine Dragon System, and the Divine Dragon Compiler will all be released at the press conference.¡± Li Chengqian looked at He Hongyan and started making arrangements. ¡°President He, there are two things I need your help with.¡± ¡°Firstly, please help me with the advance publicity work and communicate the relevant matters regarding the live broadcast of the press conference. All expenses will be paid by Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°Secondly, the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s plan to manufacture their own phones has been put on hold for the time being. Contact the factory to manufacture brainwave receivers for us! We are seven days away from the press conference. I need the factory to help manufacture at least 10,000 brainwave receivers.¡± Li Chengqian was not interested in the PowerPoint press conference. Since it was a press conference, he had to present the real thing. Not only was the brainwave receiver going to be demonstrated at the press conference, but it was also going to be sold! ¡°Alright!¡± He Hongyan nodded solemnly. Then, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze shifted to Zhou Shaoyun. ¡°President Zhou, I also need your help with this press conference.¡± ¡°Firstly, please provide one million sets of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones for sale at the press conference!¡± ¡°Secondly, please ask the engineers from the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to help demonstrate the brainwave receiver.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Zhou Shaoyun nodded solemnly. This press conference was very important not only to the Divine Dragon Software Company, but also to the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company. After Li Chengqian nodded, he next turned to Wang Renfei. ¡°President Wang, please help me prepare 100,000 sets of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone for the press conference.¡± Now that Huawei was running down the chip inventory for the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone, Li Chengqian¡¯s request for 100,000 sets of the phone at the press conference would mean that they would be out of stock a month in advance. Wang Renfei nodded. He would support it without any hesitation. ¡°No problem! How about this? I¡¯ll take out 200,000 sets of Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone for the press conference.¡± ¡°President Wang, are you interested in collaborating on the computer version of the Divine Dragon System? I remember that your company also produces computers. Help me prepare 10,000 computers for installation of the Divine Dragon System, to bundle as a set for the brainwave receiver. How about that?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. He understood the principle of scratching each other¡¯s back. Wang Renfei was willing to take out two months¡¯ quota to support Li Chengqian despite such difficult circumstances. Li Chengqian naturally knew what he needed to do in return. Coincidentally, the brainwave receiver also needed the support of computers. ¡°No problem! I¡¯ll definitely get it done for you!¡± Wang Renfei¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°By the way, please keep the function of the Divine Dragon compiler a secret for the time being. The publicity will mainly focus on the brainwave receiver.¡± ¡°Android Company worked hard to develop a new SDK so as to ban the Divine Dragon System from using Android apps and deal a fatal blow to the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°For humanitarian reasons, we have to make Android happy for a while.¡± After the release of the Dragon God Compiler, Android no longer had a chance to be happy. Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, everyone couldn¡¯t help but laugh. They all felt relaxed and relieved. ¡°President Li, after this lesson, Android will definitely not dare to cause trouble in front of you,¡± Zhou Shaoyun said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m guessing that Android and Android¡¯s parent company will definitely be furious at President Li¡¯s press conference. The SDK that they worked so hard to build will become trash.¡± ¡°The higher-ups of Windows and Apple will definitely hit the roof.¡± After the release of the Divine Dragon Compiler. The software ecology that Windows, Apple, and Android had worked so hard to build over the years would be directly inherited by the Divine Dragon System, allowing the application ecology of the Divine Dragon System to be instantly perfected. This was daylight robbery. This was in effect robbing these companies of their lifeblood. ¡°I really want to see the senior management of these operating system companies hopping mad.¡± Wang Renfei said, feeling high spirited. Ever since supply of the Qilin chip was cut off last year, he had been holding back his fury. This time, he felt especially vindicated to be able to make the international operating system giants suffer a huge loss. ¡°President Li, you have developed the Divine Dragon Compiler. In terms of software, the international giants can no longer do anything to the Divine Dragon System. However, the international giants will definitely not let this go. They will resort to anything. You have to be careful.¡± At this moment, Wang Renfei began to worry about Li Chengqian¡¯s personal safety. In order to protect their own interests, the foreign giants wouldn¡¯t have any regard for law and order. It was a piece of cake for them to put a bounty on his head. ¡°President Wang, don¡¯t worry. I know what I¡¯m doing!¡± Li Chengqian nodded confidently. With a change of tone, Li Chengqian led the way downstairs. ¡°It won¡¯t be long before our press conference. Our missions are very important.¡± ¡°Come, let¡¯s go through the details first before everyone part ways and do their own work. There mustn¡¯t be any slip ups at this press conference.¡± After taking two steps, Li Chengqian realized that something was amiss. He turned around and saw that Wang Renfei and the others didn¡¯t come along with him. Even Zhao Na didn¡¯t do so. He turned back and realized that Wang Renfei and the other three had already returned to the table where the brainwave receivers were placed. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with excitement as they tried to take the brainwave receiver and the mainframe with them. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Is this really necessary? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll arrange everything for you!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t rest assured until it has been shipped to my company.¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll go back on your word.¡± ¡°Brainwave receivers. I cannot overestimate the importance of an avant garde technological equipment that changes the structure of the information industry.¡± After the few of them finished speaking, Li Chengqian was speechless. ¡°Zhao Na, go find a few people to pack up these machines. When President He and the others are about to leave, send them directly to the car.¡± ¡°Director Zhao, help me keep an eye on it when your men are doing the packing later. Tell them to be gentle. Don¡¯t break it,¡± Wang Renfei instructed Zhao Na worriedly. After giving their instructions, the few of them reluctantly went downstairs and walked quickly to the meeting room. If not for the importance of this press conference, they would definitely have preferred to wait till the machine has been safely packed and placed in their cars before they can be assured. Chapter 140 - 140 Preparation Completed 140 Preparation Completed In the blink of an eye, it was time for the press conference. In the studio that had gone through a round of renovation, Li Chengqian was wearing a helmet. Pages of code were quickly entered into the computer. When the last character was entered, a translucent notification appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [Mind Control Driver Program completion rate 100%. Software grade C-.] [You have completed the development of a grade C- software. You have received 500,000 experience value points. There are 2,930,000 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] The Mind Control Driver Program was a way to operate the computer with his mind. As long as he wore a brainwave receiver on his head, he could perform accurate and fast operations on the computer. The speed of operation was dozens of times faster than the mouse and keyboard, or perhaps even a hundred times faster. The accuracy of clicks had also reached more than 99.9%. With the Mind Control Driver Program, the mouse and keyboard, which had existed for half a century, could be eliminated. When the price of the brainwave receiver dropped, they would be completely eliminated by the times. ¡°The Mind Control Driver Program is complete!¡± Li Chengqian stretched, stood up from his seat, and walked downstairs. Zhao Na was already waiting for him at the office door. When she saw Li Chengqian walk over, she began to update him on the situation. ¡°President Li, since April 6th, there have been continuous updates of Android¡¯s SDK on the internet.¡± ¡°All kinds of Internet celebrities have come out. The entire Internet is filled with voices criticizing the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System! They all feel that after Android updated the SDK, our Divine Dragon System won¡¯t be able to survive without the support of a software ecology.¡± ¡°There were also some verified accounts who are gloating, thinking that we are about to collapse. They are so hyperactive now, they keep posting articles criticizing us.¡± ¡°They criticized us for being shameless, for being thieves, for trying to take over the application ecology that Android has cultivated for many years. They said that we¡¯re paying a heavy price for this and we are reaping what we sowed.¡± ¡°However, most netizens support us.¡± ¡°The official media is also speaking up for our Divine Dragon System!¡± Over the past few days, the internet had been in an uproar. The closer it was to the release of Android SDK, the more critics there were, and the more negative voices there were. Heyme and other Android based mobile phones even came up with a slogan, ¡°Android will never lose support.¡± They tried to increase their sales which had fallen very badly. However, consumers were not stupid. They were watching and waiting, not in a hurry to buy the phones of manufacturers like Heyme. ¡°When Android updated the SDK this morning, it also released a notice on the update¡­¡± Zhao Na handed a printed notice to Li Chengqian. ¡°Shameless easterners will definitely be thrown into the abyss.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company tried to steal Android¡¯s hard work, it will definitely go bankrupt!¡± ¡°After this update, the new Android apps will not support the shameless mobile phone system. Let this damn thief die because he doesn¡¯t have new software support¡­¡± It was hard to imagine that update instructions that used to be so formal and official would be filled with malicious curses. Li Chengqian lost interest after reading the first portion. He sneered. ¡°Android is getting anxious! They¡¯ve already sensed our threat and are starting to get nervous.¡± ¡°They¡¯re wary of us. They¡¯re afraid of us!¡± Zhao Na nodded in agreement and thought to herself, ¡°Any technology company that you target will die. It¡¯s normal to be a little nervous.¡± Right on the heels of that, Zhao Na continued with her update. ¡°This update has been translated and shared by ¡®Sweet Overseas¡¯, a verified Weibo account. It has been forwarded by more than 50 verified accounts. All mobile phone manufacturers who use the Android system have also reposted it¡­¡± ¡°Currently, Android¡¯s curse is now eighth on the trending list!¡± ¡°Trending #7: Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System will not be supported by any software.¡± ¡°Some users of the Divine Dragon System are a little worried and are asking about the situation on our official Weibo.¡± Zhao Na looked at Li Chengqian expectantly. She felt a pent-up anger in her heart and felt a strong urge to post updates about the Divine Dragon Compiler and tell everyone not to worry. But she was also worried about affecting Li Chengqian¡¯s plan! ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Li Chengqian opened Weibo and posted a message on the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s Weibo and his own Weibo. [See you at the press conference at 2:30 pm! Everything¡­ will be to your satisfaction!] ¡°President Li, with President He¡¯s promotion and planning, the launch of the Divine Dragon Software Company is already a top trending topic on Weibo!¡± ¡°The brainwave receiver is second on the trending list.¡± The reason why the brainwave receiver was so popular was because Baidu had released a video on its use. This kind of futuristic technology immediately piqued everyone¡¯s interest. It was very popular. ¡°There will be one million sets of Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone released at the press conference. This is third on the trending list.¡± ¡°Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phones will be sold at the press conference. This is fourth on the trending list.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Computer System is fifth on the trending list.¡± The top five spots on the Weibo trending list were all taken by the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Douyin, Kuaishou, Qiyi, Tencent and other related online media have already connected to our livestream. This livestream will be conducted online. Moreover, the livestream will occupy the most advantageous position of the software.¡± ¡°The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company called this morning. The 1 million sets of Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone have been allocated.¡± ¡°There¡¯s news from Baidu, our brainwave receiver has passed the quality control tests. We can sell 10,000 units!¡± ¡°There¡¯s news from Huawei, 10,000 computers installed with the Divine Dragon System have been prepared, and 100,000 sets of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone have been prepared.¡± ¡°The sets to be used by the three companies to demonstrate the brainwave receiver have also been constructed.¡± ¡°Preparation work has been completed. We¡¯re just waiting for the press conference. I believe the entire world will be shocked by our company¡¯s offerings.¡± At this point, Zhao Na was so excited that her face was flushed. After this press conference was held, everyone would know how powerful Li Chengqian was. They would all know how powerful the technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company was. Everyone would be stunned by the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s futuristic technology. ¡­ ¡°What do you think Li Chengqian meant by sending this message?¡± In the CEO¡¯s office of the Heyme Corporation, Lei Che suspended a senior management meeting after reading Li Chengqian¡¯s message. ¡°Could it be that he still has a way to salvage the situation?¡± Lei Che shook his head, feeling that it was impossible. Android had gone all out to improve its Android SDK this time! It was impossible to crack the verification mechanism. Without the support of Android apps, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System would immediately fall into an abyss that no software could use. When WeChat, QQ, Douyin, TouTiao, Taobao, Salted Fish, and other mobile phone apps couldn¡¯t be used, and when all the games in the phone could not be turned on, no one would use the phone anymore. The situation was the same over at OPPO and Vivo. After reading Li Chengqian¡¯s message, countless thoughts flashed through Qian Yongming and Shen Wansan¡¯s minds. In the end, they felt he was just a sitting duck that refused to concede defeat. There was also someone who was keeping close tabs on Li Chengqian. ¡®Sweetness Overseas¡¯, an internet celebrity, was the person-in-charge for Google in the Divine Dragon Country. His name was Wu Shudian, and he was a native of the Divine Dragon Country, however he yearned for the life of the western world and had always wanted to obtain permanent residence rights in the west. After reading Li Chengqian¡¯s message, he said disdainfully, ¡°You¡¯re deceiving yourself. How ridiculous.¡± Then, through a dedicated network, Wu Shudian sent the relevant information back to the headquarters, including the URL for Li Chengqian¡¯s livestream. ¡°Reporting to headquarters, please enjoy the death throes of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Also, it¡¯s been said that the brainwave receiver to be launched at this press conference can allow humans to input their consciousness, and there won¡¯t be any mistakes during the input process. The input speed is 3,000 characters per minute. I personally think it¡¯s fake news designed to attract attention and scam investors.¡± ¡°Even the west hasn¡¯t realized such advanced technology. How can a backward country like the Divine Dragon Country have such technology?!¡± Chapter 141 - 141 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants Hearts 1 141 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants¡¯ Hearts 1 At two o¡¯clock sharp, the livestream of the Divine Dragon Software launch officially began. Due to the pre-publicity, the warm reception of the brainwave receiver, and the temptation to buy mobile phones installed with the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, a large number of users entered the livestream. In just one minute, three million netizens had flooded in. By 2:30pm, the number of people in the livestream press conference reached a terrifying 50 million! This broke all historical records of the livestream industry. Before the livestream began, senior management from Heyme, OPPO, Android and overseas operating systems companies also entered the livestream. Everyone was waiting to see the Divine Dragon Software Company make a fool of themselves. The SDK released by Android in the morning had already cut off possibilities for the Divine Dragon System! They wanted to see the look on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. At the same time, they were also curious about the brainwave receiver and wanted to see what was going on. Due to the popularity of the brainwave receiver, many research institutes and companies that were interested in futuristic technology had also entered the livestream. 2:30pm. The press conference officially began. The only banner in the livestream room immediately lit up. The location of the livestream was in the studio above the company. After a week of modification, a high-tech looking screen was installed on the background wall. The surrounding decor also became extremely sci-fi. Around the big screen, there were also brainwave receivers connected to computers. ¡°Welcome to the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s product launch.¡± ¡°Our philosophy is to use technology to increase efficiency and to benefit the world.¡± On the big screen behind Li Chengqian was the logo of the Divine Dragon Software Company. The majestic golden dragon swam around, vivid and lifelike, as if it was about to swim out of the screen. ¡°Today, we are going to release a total of four products!¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his lips. ¡°The first product is the Divine Dragon Compiler!¡± Following Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction, the words ¡°Divine Dragon Compiler¡± occupied the big screen behind him. Then, Li Chengqian changed tack. He didn¡¯t go on to introduce the functions of the Divine Dragon Compiler. Instead, he mentioned the recent negative comments on the internet. ¡°There has been a lot of buzz on the internet lately. Android has updated a new SDK and banned the Divine Dragon System from using Android apps. They want to deal us a fatal blow, by hitting us at our weakest spot, which is the software ecology of the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System¡­¡± ¡°On the internet, many verified accounts under the lead of ¡®Sweetness Overseas¡¯ kept criticizing the Divine Dragon System. They think that in the face of Android, we are an ant that could be crushed to death with a mere finger.¡± ¡°My partner, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, was also affected by this incident. They received a lot of queries and some users even wanted a refund.¡± ¡°Many people think that after the Android SDK update, the Divine Dragon System, without any software support, will fall into a quagmire.¡± ¡°But today, I want to tell some people out there that I am sorry to disappoint them!¡± ¡°The application ecology of the Divine Dragon System will not be affected the way certain companies and people have expected. Instead, it will become stronger because of the continuous external attacks.¡± ¡°The first product to be released today is the Divine Dragon Compiler! It¡¯s a software designed to solve the ecological issues that the Divine Dragon System faces.¡± ¡°The function of the Divine Dragon Compiler is very simple. With a line of command, it will convert applications on other systems into native applications of the Divine Dragon System! The efficiency of the converted applications will increase by more than 50% when used in the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Just like this!¡± Li Chengqian used the Baidu app of Baidu Corporation as an example. It was completely idiot proof. He opened the source code file, opened the Divine Dragon Compiler, and entered the characters ¡®LS¡¯ into the software. Then, a new installation file was produced within the file. It was unbelievably easy! Then, Li Chengqian installed the software into his phone on the spot. It worked very smoothly and there were no issues at all. ¡°Amazing!¡± ¡°I knew that Li Chengqian would definitely be able to solve this problem.¡± ¡°Android SDK, updated in vain! It doesn¡¯t have any effect on the Divine Dragon System at all.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software, forever the one and only!¡± ¡°It¡¯s because Li Chengqian¡¯s skills are too formidable!¡± ¡°Android, you want to stop the development of the Divine Dragon System? No way!¡± ¡°They realized that the Divine Dragon System was too advanced and they were afraid of the competition, so they wanted to suppress the Divine Dragon software. Their scheme has¡­ failed.¡± ¡°This is our homegrown system, our pride!¡± Immediately, the netizens in the livestream cheered. After using the Divine Dragon System, they got used to using a system that didn¡¯t lag and didn¡¯t exhaust battery life, there was no way they would go back to the old and laggy Android system. Unlike the layman users, Lei Che, Qian Yongming, Shen Wansan, and the others went deadly pale when they saw Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration. Their expressions became extremely solemn. After obtaining the new Android verification mechanism and the updated SDK, they felt that their chance to turn the table on Li Chengqian had come. With the heavy blow dealt by Android, the sales of mobile phones installed with the Divine Dragon System would definitely plummet without ecological support. And the sales of their phones would increase greatly. However, the appearance of the Divine Dragon Compiler immediately shattered their dreams. In terms of performance, software, price, and so on, it was miles ahead of Android. In addition, the Divine Dragon System was a domestic system that users would naturally feel an affinity for. With these advantages, users would definitely not choose the Android phones they manufactured. Chapter 142 - 142 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants Hearts 2 142 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants¡¯ Hearts 2 Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, Google¡¯s new CEO, Pi Chayi, saw Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration of the Android app conversion process. His jaw dropped. He was originally smug, holding a glass of red wine and sitting with his legs crossed. He stood up in an instant out of shock. He spilled red wine all over his pants, but he didn¡¯t bother with it at all. ¡°This is impossible!¡± His voice was filled with disbelief. It was his idea for Android to update the SDK so as to kill the Divine Dragon System. He had thought that it was a deadly move. After watching Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, Pi Chayi felt that it was simply a joke. ¡°This is impossible. How can the backward east have such advanced technology?!¡± The Senior Vice President in charge of Android¡¯s business, Vas, was extremely agitated. He stood up in disbelief and stared at the screen. He was almost shouting. ¡°Wait a minute, do you think Li Chengqian might be faking it?¡± Suddenly, a thought appeared in Vas¡¯s mind. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that during the demonstration on the screen, no one was controlling the mouse and the keyboard? I¡¯m guessing that the demonstration displayed on the big screen was recorded in advance by the orientals. It¡¯s a fake video designed to deceive us.¡± The more Vas said it, the more certain he became. Hearing Vas¡¯s thoughts, Pi Chayi¡¯s extremely solemn expression finally relaxed a little. The representatives of the Windows and Apple, who were on a video call with Google, also became much more relaxed. This was indeed a possibility! Li Chengqian¡¯s voice continued, ¡°Apart from converting Android apps, the Divine Dragon Compiler can also convert Apple apps¡­ Just like this.¡± Li Chengqian spoke as he operated the Divine Dragon Compiler. He entered a line of code, as he did before, and the software conversion was completed. One-click and idiot-proof. Anyone could learn it. ¡°F*ck, impressive, awesome!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, forever the one and only!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. There are many extremely useful apps on Apple, but they¡¯re not available on Android at all. In the future, I might be able to use these apps on phones that use the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°After the release of the Divine Dragon Compiler, not only Android apps but also Apple apps are part of the Divine Dragon System¡¯s software ecology map. The only shortcoming of the Divine Dragon System, which was the software ecology, has been overcome! It has now surpassed the two systems and become the best system in ecology.¡± ¡°I can foresee that soon, there will be more apps for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System than Android and Apple.¡± Heyme and the other phone manufacturers became even angrier when they saw this. They had hoped that the Android SDK would be updated so that there wouldn¡¯t be any software for use on the Divine Dragon System. This would be a fatal blow to the Divine Dragon System. Not only could the Divine Dragon Compiler use the Android apps, but it could also use Apple apps. This was the complete opposite of what they had imagined. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s press conference this time is a PowerPoint press conference. It¡¯s fake!¡± They hoped that all of this was fake and desperately wished it to be so. This was because if the Divine Dragon Compiler in the press conference was real, their hopes would be completely destroyed. ¡­ In the overseas video conference, Apple¡¯s CEO, Cook, was initially calm and composed. After watching Li Chengqian use the Divine Dragon Compiler to transform an Apple app into a Divine Dragon phone app, his face fell. He became visibly upset as he stood up suddenly. ¡°F*ck, this damned easterner! He¡¯s infringing on the interests of Apple.¡± ¡°This damned bandit. His behavior is a crime, a robbery!¡± ¡°Apple apps can only be used on Apple phones!¡± ¡°Anyone who steals Apple software will pay a heavy price,¡± Cook cursed. Many useful software are unique to Apple phones. Many users chose to use the more expensive Apple phones because of the software. If Apple-specific software was also available in the Divine Dragon System, the appeal of Apple phones would instantly decrease greatly. This would definitely affect the sales of Apple phones. Seeing Cook fly into a rage, Google¡¯s CEO Pi Chayi, who had been video conferencing with Cook, gloated in his heart, but he opened his mouth to pacify him. ¡°Cook, don¡¯t be anxious. In our opinion, the so-called Divine Dragon Compiler is fake. Such an advanced technology hasn¡¯t even been developed in the west. Silly easterners are so backward in the software industry, how could they possibly have developed it?¡± ¡°Regardless of whether the Divine Dragon compiler is real or fake, I will remember this damned easterner. He has violated the rights of Apple. I will definitely not let him off.¡± Cook became serious and his tone was cold. ¡°Cook, Pi Chayi, what if the Divine Dragon Compiler is real? What will you do?¡± At this moment, Windows CEO, Satia, said jokingly. In the past, Windows had also developed WP, a mobile phone system. The performance of the WP system was also very good. However, the project ultimately failed because the software ecology was not established. Windows lost billions of dollars on this project. At that time, his competitors were Android and Apple! At that time, he had also fantasized about developing a tool that could transform other software into software for the WP system. That would instantly perfect the application ecosystem of the WP system and knock Android and Apple to the ground. However, he knew that developing such a software was too difficult in reality. In the end, he gave up on this idea. Chapter 143 - 143 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants Hearts 3 143 A Compiler that Struck Fear into the Giants¡¯ Hearts 3 But when he saw Pi Chayi and Cook fly into a rage because of the Divine Dragon Compiler that Li Chengqian launched, he was actually a little pleased deep inside. Yes, he felt Cook and Pi Chayi¡¯s fear! ¡°Satia, shut up!¡± Cook and Pi Chayi said at the same time, their voices filled with dissatisfaction. Just then, Li Chengqian¡¯s voice continued. ¡°The Divine Dragon Compiler has been uploaded to the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s official website. If anyone is interested, you can download and use it freely. It¡¯s completely free!¡± This statement was nothing to layman users, but to the phone manufacturers, and to Cook, Pi Chayi, and the others, it was shockingly bad news. At Heyme Corporation, Lei Che seemed to have been sapped of all his energy. He sank weakly into the sofa, his voice extremely bitter. Since Li Chengqian dared to upload and share it, the Divine Dragon Compiler was definitely for real. The software was real! The effect might be quite good. ¡°Xiaoli, try downloading the Divine Dragon Compiler.¡± Xiaoli quickly downloaded the Divine Dragon Compiler and began to compile. Soon, the Heyme desktop was successfully compiled. Then, the compiled desktop ran smoothly on the phone through a special debugging program. Lei Che lost all hope instantly. ¡°Li Chengqian isn¡¯t human at all. He¡¯s a beast! A pervert!¡± ¡°I was crazy in the past. I have actually offended such a pervert. I deserve it.¡± ¡°All I did was to remove his Divine Dragon Optimization app from my app store, and prohibited it from being installed on my phones. This time, he has dealt me a fatal blow. Is there a need to go so far!¡± Lei Che was extremely regretful. If he was given another chance, he would definitely be the first to stand up and support the Divine Dragon Optimization app and Li Chengqian. Over at OPPO and Vivo, Qian Yongming and Shen Wansan had also arranged for their subordinates to experiment with the Divine Dragon Compiler. After the results were out, the color drained from their faces. It was for real! Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for them to sell the seven million phones in their inventory. They would definitely incur losses. Overseas, Apple CEO Cook and Google CEO Pi Chayi also conducted experiments. After the results were out, their faces fell. It has been proven that Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t boasting. The Divine Dragon Compiler was very useful indeed! Cook¡¯s expression was solemn as he cursed, ¡°Sh*t, Li Chengqian, that bastard! This bandit, how dare he do such a thing? He¡¯s a shameless thief! This is daylight robbery.¡± Due to the existence of the Divine Dragon Compiler, the status of Apple phones is under threat. Especially considering that the Divine Dragon System came from a company in the east, a part of the world that Cook had deemed backward, Cook found it hard to accept. ¡°I will never allow such a thief to exist!¡± Cook¡¯s voice was extremely cold. ¡°He will pay for his actions!¡± ¡°How can this be! How can the easterners have such powerful technological abilities!¡± Pi Chayi¡¯s expression was even uglier than Cook¡¯s. He was filled with fear for the Divine Dragon Compiler. With the excellent performance displayed by the Divine Dragon System, and the Divine Dragon Compiler that was just released, the Android system was really in danger. The 1,000 yuan Divine Dragon System mobile phone offered better performance than a 3,000 yuan Android phone. Add to that a richer application ecology than the Android system. Anyone in the market for a new mobile phone would choose a Divine Dragon System mobile phone! Android had no competitiveness at all in the face of the Divine Dragon System. Android was very important to Google, contributing 200 billion yuan in net profits each year, accounting for more than half of Google¡¯s profits. But now, this net profit of 200 billion yuan a year is about to disappear. ¡°If this 200 billion yuan profits is gone, the shareholders will kill me!¡± Pi Chayi¡¯s face turned pale. This was not a joke. People would do anything for money. ¡°We can¡¯t let the Divine Dragon System spread outside the Divine Dragon Country, or Android will be finished immediately!¡± Pi Chayi¡¯s eyes were filled with deep worry. He was thinking about how to stop the spread of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Li Chengqian is the source of all the trouble. As long as we can kill Li Chengqian, all this will be over.¡± After this thought appeared in Pi Chayi¡¯s mind, it immediately took root. Two hundred billion yuan of profits every year. He wouldn¡¯t hesitate even if he had to start a war or destroy a country, not to mention kill one person. The stakes were too high. At this time, in the livestream room, Li Chengqian¡¯s calm voice continued. ¡°I want to reiterate the philosophy of the Divine Dragon Software Company, which is to use technology to increase efficiency, and to use innovation to benefit the world.¡± ¡°All our products are guided by this vision.¡± ¡°A product like the Divine Dragon Compiler can migrate Apple and Android applications to the Divine Dragon system with just one line of code, reducing the development time from a few months to a few minutes.¡± ¡°It reduced the workload and duplication of effort, increased the efficiency of the development of apps, benefited the app developers, and gave the developers an additional platform to make money.¡± ¡°It also allows mobile phone users to enjoy the latest and best software services.¡± ¡°This is how we put into practice our mission of benefiting the world.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the camera and seemed to be smiling at Cook and the others happily. The Divine Dragon Compiler was good for everyone. However, it was very unfriendly to Android and Apple. It was a poison and a fatal dagger. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s first product, the Divine Dragon Compiler. Coming up next¡­ is the second product!¡± ¡°The computer version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± Chapter 144 - 144 Operating System Is Our Territory 144 Operating System Is Our Territory The press conference continued. On the big screen behind Li Chengqian, the advanced technology deployed in the computer version of the Divine Dragon System was listed one by one. All the advanced technologies in the mobile phone system were supported by the computer version. Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian explained the situation of operating systems in the country. ¡°As we all know, our country had a late start to the computer operating system, just like the mobile phone operating system.¡± ¡°As such, these two systems have always been dominated by Windows from overseas.¡± ¡°The western world¡¯s Windows system has more than 90% of the market share.¡± ¡°We never really had a domestic operating system.¡± ¡°Some people might ask, why bother to develop a domestic system when there¡¯s already a Windows system?¡± ¡°As an analogy, this is akin to asking why you are still looking for a wife to bear a child when someone else already has a son?¡± After saying this, laughter erupted at the press conference. ¡°I was just kidding of course!¡± ¡°In fact, the international situation has been challenging these few years. Software and hardware outages have been happening frequently.¡± ¡°If Windows cuts off our supply and shuts down all their systems, we will be caught in a situation where we don¡¯t have access to computer systems.¡± ¡°Perhaps a line of code can destroy our country¡¯s IT infrastructure and prevent our weapons from being activated.¡± He was not being alarmist. It was indeed a real possibility. When he said this, Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was very serious. On the public screen of the livestream, messages came in furiously. ¡°It is of utmost importance to replace it with a domestic system!¡± ¡°We have to develop a domestic replacement at all costs!¡± ¡°If the Windows system is used against us during a war, and our weapons and communications systems can¡¯t be used, the outcome will be very terrifying.¡± ¡°Supporting domestic production!¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve always supported domestically produced systems. Every time a domestically-produced system is released, I¡¯ll try to use it immediately. However, there¡¯s no software in the domestically produced system that can support my work¡­¡± ¡°I have patriotic feelings too. I also want to support domestically produced products, but I need software ecological support! I can work around functional issues, but there has to be such a system to begin with!¡± ¡°Software is key¡­ I have to use CAD software every day. This is my livelihood. As long as I have CAD software, as long as it can function properly, I¡¯ll immediately change platforms to support domestically produced products.¡± Li Chengqian continued speaking again. ¡°The computer version of the Divine Dragon System was modified from the mobile phone system. It¡¯s also built with a microkernel. Its performance is extremely high, twice as high as the Windows system! The stability and security of the system surpasses Linux.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s used for a long time, there won¡¯t be any lag. There won¡¯t be any situations like having to reboot a blue screen of death.¡± ¡°In terms of software ecology!¡± At this point, Li Chengqian paused and spoke with a smile. ¡°Firstly, the Divine Dragon System natively supports the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone software. On computers installed with the Divine Dragon System, using the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone software is no different from using it on a phone.¡± ¡°Secondly, with the help of the Divine Dragon Compiler, you can directly convert the software and games of Windows, Apple, and Linux systems into the native software of a Divine Dragon computer.¡± ¡°The process of converting the software is the same as when I converted the phone app just now. It¡¯s very simple. One line of code can do it. Everyone, please look at the big screen.¡± Then, Li Chengqian demonstrated a few commonly used software on the big screen, as well as a popular game released by the Tencent Corporation! ¡°F*ck, what can this Divine Dragon Compiler not do?¡± ¡°This is too shocking. Not only can the Divine Dragon Compiler convert phone software, but it can also convert computer software.¡± ¡°Although the Divine Dragon Computer System is impressive and awesome, it¡¯s simply weak compared to the Divine Dragon Compiler.¡± When the netizens saw this, most of them cheered. With a formidable tool like the Divine Dragon Compiler, even if there were not many software that could be used now, they would soon have a wide variety to choose from. For software developers, they didn¡¯t need to spend much time and effort to get their software application to a new platform. Most people would welcome this. A new platform would mean new profits. Everyone worked hard to develop the software to earn money. ¡­ Meanwhile, Google, Apple, and Windows were in a video conference overseas. Windows CEO, Satia, could no longer sit still. He was hopping mad. Not long ago, Li Chengqian demonstrated the conversion of mobile phone software, which has no overlap with the business of Windows, nor does it cause any losses for Windows. But now, not only had Li Chengqian released the computer system, but what was even more terrifying was that the Divine Dragon compiler could actually directly convert Windows software for use in the Divine Dragon System. Satia finally felt the fear that Apple CEO Cook and Google CEO Pi Chayi felt when they saw the Divine Dragon Compiler. Satia cursed, ¡°F*ck, this damned easterner, what is he doing!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a robber!¡± ¡°Windows has built this software ecosystem over so many years, we can¡¯t allow it to be stolen by this despicable thief.¡± Why did Windows monopolize the entire world market? The first reason was that Windows had a complete software ecosystem! All types of software can be found in the Windows systems, from minor things like a calculator software to major things like software for designing aircrafts. This was something that no other platform could come close. This is the most important reason why Windows dominated computer operating systems. The second strategic move was extremely simple. Although the mouse click method was very inefficient, it was very simple. Anyone could use the Window system after playing around with it a little. This is also an advantage that no other system has. Another thing was that it was free! The original software of the Windows system was very expensive, but for personal use, most people relied on the pirated version. Was Windows not aware of this situation? Of course they did! They even secretly encouraged it. ¡®Why?¡¯ In Windows¡¯s strategy, personal computers are only used to develop habits, and it is difficult to adapt to other systems after getting used to the Windows system. And the real place to make money was the corporate users. Any enterprise who used the Windows system would be known to them. Once it was discovered that the enterprise used a pirated version, Windows would litigate and seek system usage fees. But now, because of the appearance of the Divine Dragon System and the Divine Dragon Compiler, all these had changed. This rich and comprehensive software ecosystem used to be exclusive to the Windows system. Windows had nurtured this software ecosystem for more than 40 years. In the blink of an eye, it was no longer exclusive to Windows. The Divine Dragon Software Company snatched it away like a bandit. Satia¡¯s voice was filled with anger as he hissed, ¡°This is a rogue company, a company that doesn¡¯t have commercial ethics, the software they developed must be rogue software. The system is also a rogue system.¡± ¡°This kind of rogue company must be sanctioned! He must pay the price.¡± ¡°This damned thing is a greedy devil. Not only did he target Apple¡¯s phone software, but he is now also coming after Apple¡¯s computer software.¡± Apple CEO Cook also cursed, his face extremely gloomy. Pi Chayi looked at his furious expression and said, ¡°Satia, don¡¯t worry. The people of the Divine Dragon Country are already used to the ¡®free¡¯ Windows system. Even if the Divine Dragon System has software ecological support, not many people will use it.¡± ¡°Pi Chayi, you¡¯re right. The Windows system is still the operating system that rules the world! No one can shake the status of the Windows system.¡± Satia finally calmed down on Pi Chayi¡¯s assurances. His eyes were filled with absolute confidence. ¡°I suggest that the three of us submit our proposal to the Western Empire to put the Divine Dragon Software Company on the sanctions list.¡± Most of the outstanding software in the world was developed by the west. In the field of industrial software such as CAD software and EDA software, western software had already achieved a monopoly on the Divine Dragon Country and earned 160 billion yuan a year from them. Moreover, the industrial software provided to the Divine Dragon Country was often the backward version used by the west ten years ago. More advanced software was prohibited being exported to the Divine Dragon Country. From this, it could be seen how big the gap between domestically produced products and the west was! ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I agree too!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°This damn thief. The system he developed is very advanced, and so is the software he developed. But the operating system is our territory. No one can interfere without our permission.¡± ¡°Without the support of our Western Empire¡¯s advanced software, the Divine Dragon System he developed can¡¯t be used in the production environment or work. It¡¯s a joke for him to try to promote it.¡± logo Chapter 145 - 145 Curtailed Development 145 Curtailed Development In the livestream room, Li Chengqian demonstrated all aspects of the Divine Dragon System. Office setting, game setting, chat setting, streaming setting and online setting! The system worked very smoothly in all the settings. The netizens were very pleasantly surprised to see the effects. As can be seen from Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, the Divine Dragon System was already very mature. The functions were similar to the Windows system. There was no need to learn how to use the Divine Dragon System, one could immediately switch over from Windows and use the Divine Dragon System effortlessly. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software is really amazing!¡± ¡°I can play games, chat on QQ, and there is also domestic office software. The Divine Dragon System is good enough for me. I only have one question now. How much does it cost?¡± ¡°It looks really good from the demonstration! There¡¯s definitely no issues with daily use.¡± In fact, most computer users only used a few software. Although the Divine Dragon System had just been released, the few built-in software was good enough for most daily usage scenarios. ¡°With the Divine Dragon Compiler, we don¡¯t have to worry about software at all.¡± ¡°Am I the only one who realized that the computer that was used to demonstrate the Divine Dragon System has an i3 fifth-generation CPU, 4 gigabytes of memory, and integrated graphics cards. When the League of Legends game was demonstrated just now, the 2K resolution gave the highest level special effects. The FPS reached 387¡­ This was already the level of the Nvidia GTX 1650! I¡¯ll download it immediately and give it a try!¡± ¡°It¡¯s completely enough for daily use! We recommend that the national institutions take the lead and switch to this system.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste time. Tell me how much it costs!¡± ¡°Let me say this first. If it¡¯s too expensive, I can¡¯t afford it.¡± ¡°How much is it?¡± On the public screen, most netizens were asking about the pricing of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Now, many netizens are concerned about the fees for the Divine Dragon System. I can tell you clearly now that the Divine Dragon System is temporarily free for individual users!¡± This was the result of Li Chengqian¡¯s careful considerations. Currently, the Windows system monopolized the operating system market in the Divine Dragon Country. Users were already used to the free Windows system. If the Divine Dragon System were to charge a fee, Li Chengqian could guarantee two things. Firstly, there would be very few users who would really migrate to the Divine Dragon System. This would be detrimental to the development of the System. Secondly, there would definitely be people online who would slander Li Chengqian for being greedy and for exploiting the people¡¯s patriotism. Therefore, his plan was to integrate the business models of Windows and Apple. The operating system would be free, but there was only one way to install the software, and that was through the app store. Li Chengqian would split the cost of selling the software, and the users¡¯ in-app purchase according to a certain ratio. At the same time, the operating system would only be free for individual users. For enterprise users and government departments, a fee would be charged. After hearing what Li Chengqian said, the users watching the livestream were all in an uproar. Many people were very surprised. ¡°Generous!¡± ¡°A free business model doesn¡¯t last long. It¡¯s more reliable if they charge a fee.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t wait to use the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°Give us the download link!¡± Li Chengqian continued, ¡°For the convenience of users, we have developed a system installer. You only need to download the installer and install it on the computer. After that, click ¡®install¡¯ and the Divine Dragon System will be installed on your computer.¡± ¡°During the installation, the personal files on the computer will be transferred to the Divine Dragon System.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, the tutorial on the use of the system installer and the Android version of the system were displayed on the large screen. It was completely idiot proof. Even a child who had just entered primary school could complete the installation. The netizens couldn¡¯t wait to experiment with it on their computers. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software has it all thoughtfully planned! I¡¯m a girl, and I can install the System just by following the steps.¡± ¡°The system installer has been downloaded and installed on the computer¡­¡± ¡°All the products of the Divine Dragon Software Company are so easy to use! Installing the system is actually as easy as installing a software.¡± ¡°Compared to the convenience of the Divine Dragon Software Company, the installation systems of other companies are so backward and primitive.¡± ¡°Downloading the system¡­¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, overseas, Windows CEO Satia had an extremely solemn look on his face. He clumsily downloaded the system installer into the Windows system and opened the system installer. There was only a button on it. Install! Two minutes later, the system download was completed and the automatic installation began. The computer screen automatically blacked out. A minute later, the screen lit up. A majestic dragon occupied the center of the screen. On the top of the screen, four Chinese characters were written in a flamboyant calligraphic style. [Divine Dragon System] Five seconds later, he entered the desktop of the Divine Dragon System. A desktop very similar to the Windows system appeared in front of Satia. Satia¡¯s expression turned even uglier. ¡°Plagiarism. This is f*cking blatant plagiarism. Shameless, absolutely shameless!¡± Then, he realized that the system¡¯s network had already been automatically configured. It could directly go online and was very convenient. Immediately, his face turned even darker. ¡°Sh*t, the system installer software will steal the user¡¯s network information. After the user installs the Divine Dragon System, it will send the stolen information over the network!¡± Then, he saw a folder. After clicking on it, he realized that all the personal files in the Windows system had been copied into this folder. No personal files were missing. The installation process for the Divine Dragon System was too simple! Anyone could do this. This made Satia even more worried. Then, he began to use the software that came with the system. He used the daily office software, games, videos, and browsers. There were no flaws. The system worked beautifully. It was smooth and efficient. It was even better than the Windows system. After using it, Satia¡¯s expression changed from worry to anxiety to extreme seriousness. He completely regarded the Divine Dragon System as the greatest threat to the Windows system. The performance was excellent and the composition was beautiful. It was free! The migration installation was easy! There were abundant applications! ¡°F*ck, how can an ignorant easterner develop such an advanced system!¡± Satia cursed in a low voice. ¡°The personal computer market in the Divine Dragon Country might really be lost this time.¡± Satia was extremely bothered. ¡°Free¡± was also the key strategy of the Windows Company in the Divine Dragon Country, but the Windows Company didn¡¯t dare to openly announce it, unlike the Divine Dragon System. That was because users from other countries who were paying would protest! Therefore, it was impossible to announce that it was free. At this point, Windows does not have any advantage. The performance of the Divine Dragon System was very good. It was very useful. It could totally meet the needs of daily office use, gaming and videos. The Windows system didn¡¯t have any advantage in terms of ease of use. Coupled with the fact that the Divine Dragon System was a domestic system, the officials of the Divine Dragon Country would definitely promote it aggressively. This was a disadvantage. Currently, the only advantage is industrial software! After the Divine Dragon Software Company was listed on the sanction list, advanced industrial software would not support the Divine Dragon System. Companies that used industrial software were unable to switch to the Divine Dragon System. ¡°So what if the personal computer market is lost? There¡¯s no profit here at all.¡± Because of the ¡®free¡¯ strategy, the personal computer market was in effect not bringing in revenue. ¡°The enterprise-level market in the Divine Dragon Country still belongs to Windows. This is the most critical area.¡± The enterprise-level market contributed a large amount of profits to Windows every year. ¡°The Divine Dragon System uses a free strategy in the personal computer market. There¡¯s no profit. On the other hand, because the industrial software doesn¡¯t support the Divine Dragon System, the enterprise market still belongs to Windows. The Divine Dragon Software can¡¯t get a foot in.¡± As long as the industrial software was firmly controlled, the Divine Dragon System wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the profitable enterprise-level market. As long as the Divine Dragon Software Company was kept on the sanction list, the Divine Dragon Software could not be exported and could not compete with Windows in the international markets, and can¡¯t generate revenue. In this manner, the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s development is curtailed. (Çó¶©ÔÄ,×÷Õß¿ì³Ô²»ÉÏ·¹ÁË) Chapter 146 - 146 Demonstration of the Brainwave Receiver 146 Demonstration of the Brainwave Receiver After a simple introduction of the Divine Dragon System, Li Chengqian went on to talk about brainwave coding technology, the star of the press conference. Brainwave coding technology was the real killer app. Without brainwave coding technology, the Divine Dragon System was just a dispensable system that could be replaced by the Windows system. This was because what could be done on the Divine Dragon System could also be done on the Windows system. Users can choose either the Divine Dragon system or the Windows system. On the other hand, the Divine Dragon System came with the brainwave coding technology, which had irreplaceable characteristics. This was because the brainwave coding technology was an exclusive application of the Divine Dragon System. There was no such technology In other systems at all! It was a technology that could not be bought, no matter how much money one offered. ¡°As the third and fourth products are very related, we need to launch them together.¡± ¡°The third product is the brainwave coding technology!¡± ¡°Simply put, brainwave coding technology can liberate your hands. Use your brainwaves to directly enter the thoughts in your mind into the computer and operate the computer through your brainwaves!¡± Li Chengqian briefly introduced this technology that sounded like it came out of science fiction. Countless question marks instantly appeared on the public screen of the livestream. ?! Then, a large number of doubtful voices appeared. ¡°Are you launching a science fiction novel?¡± ¡°Why does it sound like a fantasy novel to me?¡± ¡°President Li, are you serious?¡± ¡°This plot twist is too much! I¡¯m blown away!¡± ¡°This is a rigorous technology product launch. I won¡¯t allow you to make such unscientific jokes.¡± ¡°And the fourth product is the brainwave receiver!¡± ¡°This is a brainwave receiver.¡± Li Chengqian picked up a sci-fi looking helmet from the table. ¡°It¡¯s used to capture our thoughts.¡± ¡°In the Divine Dragon System, there¡¯s a built-in brainwave coding technology. If it¡¯s used with the brainwave receiver, it can achieve mind control and mental input.¡± Li Chengqian put the helmet on his head. On the desktop of his system, a document quickly opened. ¡°Let me demonstrate how the brainwave receiver is used to input Chinese characters¡­¡± Li Chengqian leaned back in his chair. Without any input, lines of text quickly appeared in the document. [The philosophy of the Divine Dragon Company is to use technology to increase efficiency and to benefit the world¡­] ¡°In the previous minute, I used my brainwaves to input 3,657 Chinese characters! After checking, there was not a single typo error. The accuracy rate is 100%.¡± Li Chengqian brought up the statistics panel and calmly introduced the input situation to the audience. ¡°F*ck¡­ F*ck!¡± ¡°F*ck, are you sure you¡¯re in the same world as us? Are you sure you¡¯re not broadcasting for us a future sci-fi world?¡± ¡°What kind of technology is this? Is there such technology on earth?¡± ¡°Are you sure this is technology? Why do I f*cking feel that you¡¯re using sorcery to trick us?¡± ¡°Damn, it¡¯s too advanced! This technology is several generations ahead of the Windows system!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll download the Divine Dragon System installation immediately! Impressive, awesome!¡± ¡°Hehe¡­ This is just a video that was recorded in advance. Why are you all so excited?! There¡¯s no such advanced technology on earth at all! Even the west doesn¡¯t have such technology. How can the Divine Dragon Country have it?¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software, can¡¯t you just work on your operating system honestly? Why do you have to resort to such a scam!¡± ¡°Mind control technology actually exists. It has been developed by various countries. The current situation is that we need to use a supercomputer to analyze the brainwaves obtained. The accuracy is also very low, only 3%! Moreover, it can¡¯t be inputted in real time. The brainwave input of Divine Dragon Software is too fake!¡± ¡°According to the current technological trend, it will take another 50 years to achieve the effect of Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration. This is fake. That is my appraisal.¡± A large number of doubts appeared in the livestream because the way the brainwaves were inputted was seemingly unbelievable. Ordinary people¡¯s instinct was to not accept incomprehensible technology. Looking at the questioning voices in the livestream, Li Chengqian chuckled and didn¡¯t care too much. ¡°I have just demonstrated to everyone how you can use your brainwaves to quickly input Chinese characters. The input speed is 100 times faster than keyboard input.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the biggest advantage of brainwave input is that as long as your thoughts don¡¯t stray during the input process, there won¡¯t be any mistakes!¡± ¡°I have just demonstrated to everyone how you can use your brainwaves to quickly input Chinese characters. Next, I¡¯ll show everyone how to use brainwaves to input codes¡­¡± Li Chengqian opened a project document. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to write¡­ a simple chat software with ¡®add friends¡¯ and ¡®chat¡¯ functions!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. It¡¯s him!¡± Lines of code quickly appeared in the project document. Two minutes later, the software development was completed. ¡°In two minutes, I input 14,244 characters.¡± ¡°A total of 284 lines of code!¡± ¡°After debugging the code, no bugs were found. The accuracy of the input is 100%.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something mundane. Many people in the livestream had actually come over out of curiosity after they saw Baidu and Huawei¡¯s video clips on the brainwave receiver. The vast majority of them work at internet companies. After seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s input speed and accuracy, they couldn¡¯t help but speak up. All of them were excited. ¡°This speed is simply inhuman!¡± ¡°With the brainwave receiver, I can finish all my work in a minute. That¡¯s awesome!¡± ¡°What is an efficiency tool? This is a true efficiency tool. A hundredfold efficiency increase is too terrifying!¡± ¡°If the company had a brainwave receiver, I definitely wouldn¡¯t work overtime every day,¡± said an employee of a certain company. ¡°To programmers like us, this is a heavenly tool!¡± ¡°To online authors like us, an awesome tool¡­ it¡¯s out of this world¡­ With such a superb tool, I can write 10,000 words a day!¡± A certain author, Banana, said. ¡°F*ck, with such a divine tool, an industrial software that was originally planned to take three years to develop will be produced in a month.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company, if you are for real, list the product. I¡¯ll buy it immediately.¡± ¡°With the enhancement of this tool, our software industry will surpass the west in three years.¡± ¡°This is fake. Why are you people so excited?! Everything you saw at the press conference was recorded in advance to deceive people!¡± said ¡®Sweetness Overseas¡¯ the verified Weibo user. ¡°No wonder your country¡¯s software isn¡¯t good. All of you don¡¯t even have the ability to distinguish between fact and fiction.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t believe you unless you announce the technical principles of brainwave input!¡± ¡°This is so sci-fi. I can¡¯t believe it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible for a private company to develop such sci-fi-like technology. This type of futuristic technology can only be developed with resources at the country level.¡± ¡°A PowerPoint presentation without a real product is a hooligan¡¯s act. It¡¯s a scam.¡± ¡°If you have the ability, list the product! Are you afraid that I don¡¯t have the money to buy it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Divine Dragon Software? You should just focus on the operating system that you have just developed. Why are you doing all these dubious things?¡± ¡°If I were a fool, I would believe that brainwave inputting is real.¡± In the livestream, other than excitement, a large number of doubtful voices appeared. After all, the brainwave inputting that Li Chengqian demonstrated just now was too unbelievable. It was like watching a sci-fi movie, there was no credibility at all. It looked fake at a glance. Chapter 147 - 147 It is a Must to Obtain the Brainwave Analysis Technique 147 It is a Must to Obtain the Brainwave Analysis Technique In the overseas video conference, Cook and Satia stopped cursing when Li Chengqian started demonstrating brainwave inputting. Everyone held their breaths and stared at the screen. All of them had shock on their faces and disbelief in their eyes. Brainwave input was the future. Whether it was Google, Apple, or Windows, they had invested a lot of money in research and development. However, they haven¡¯t made much progress, and it was impossible to commercialize this technology. This was because the analysis of brainwaves was too difficult! The human brain could produce 1 TB of data in a second. However, less than 1 KB of useful data could be extracted from it. Trying to analyze this 1 KB of data was no different from trying to find a needle in a haystack. Even if a supercomputer was used to do the analysis, it couldn¡¯t achieve real-time analytics, and the accuracy couldn¡¯t be guaranteed either. And now, the brainwave analysis technology displayed by Li Chengqian was completely mature! Using a normal computer, he had achieved real-time analysis of brainwaves, and the accuracy rate was an astonishing 100%. The efficiency of the input was instantaneously increased a hundredfold. Especially when they saw how Li Chengqian used brainwave analysis technology to quickly complete the input of a code. Cook and the others could no longer control their emotions. They stood up abruptly with disbelief on their faces. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°The brainwave analysis technology has increased the efficiency of the software industry a hundredfold!¡± This advanced technology was now built into the Divine Dragon System, and it was unique to the Divine Dragon System! In an instant, the competitiveness of the Divine Dragon System had increased countless times. Especially for related companies dealing with software development and word processing, brainwave analysis technology was a technology that would change the industry. With a hundredfold enhancement of efficiency, a company that didn¡¯t use this technology would lose their competitiveness and would definitely be surpassed by other companies that used the Divine Dragon System. ¡°This is unbelievable! I thought it would take another 50 years for this technology to be officially commercialized.¡± Cook was extremely amazed and became more and more wary of Divine Dragon Software¡¯s technology. Compared to the Divine Dragon System, which had brainwave analysis technology, Apple was no longer competitive. ¡°We have to lay hands on the brainwave input analysis technology, or we will lose our dominance in the software industry.¡± Windows CEO Satia¡¯s expression was extremely somber. He was really anxious this time. Satia was only furious that the Divine Dragon System occupied the personal software market of the Divine Dragon Country, and that the Divine Dragon System stole Windows¡¯ software. But she was not anxious. However, the brainwave input method made him anxious. Brainwave analysis technology was very crucial to the software industry. Windows, Google, and Apple were all software companies in essence. Many of the big companies in the west were also software companies in essence. In order to maintain their dominance in the software industry, they needed brainwave analysis technology more than anyone else. A hundredfold increase in input efficiency represented a year¡¯s progress in software development for the Divine Dragon Country. This was equivalent to a hundred years to the west. He reckoned that the software industry of the Divine Dragon Country would only take one year to catch up with the west, If they don¡¯t manage to lay hands on the brainwave analysis technology. In two years, the Divine Dragon Country might completely surpass the west in terms of software technology. This outcome was terrifying. ¡°I suggest that other than reporting this to the Empire and putting the Divine Dragon Software on the sanctions list, we have to do something else. We have to get hold of the brainwave analysis technology,¡± Satia said solemnly. ¡°We can send someone to contact Li Chengqian, and give him permanent residency status in the Western Empire. We can also offer him an obscene amount of money that would last him more than ten lifetimes.¡± ¡°We can send a commercial spy to Dragon God Software to get what we need.¡± ¡°We can also fork out money to buy relevant information and even technology from employees of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t the Divine Dragon Country been looking to buy the EUV and DUV photolithography machines? We can suggest to the Empire that we can sell the DUV photolithography machine to the Divine Dragon Country in exchange for their brainwave analysis technology.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. We still need to confirm the authenticity of Li Chengqian¡¯s brainwave analysis technology. We can only formulate our next step after we have confirmed the authenticity of the technology.¡± Pi Chayi reminded them when he saw that the two of them were getting very agitated. ¡°At the moment, the authenticity of the brainwave analysis technology has yet to be verified. Let¡¯s not be anxious. Such advanced technology has not been developed in our Western Empire! What if the Divine Dragon Software Company only launched this because they are seeking investment?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m interested in financing them if that is what the Divine Dragon Software needs.¡± ¡­ At the press conference, Li Chengqian was unperturbed by the continuous questioning voices on the livestream screen. He kept to his plan. ¡°I have just demonstrated to everyone how you can use your brainwaves to quickly code. It can increase programming efficiency a hundredfold.¡± ¡°Speed represents competitiveness! A hundredfold increase in efficiency means software updates and iterations can be done faster. It can also allow companies to enter new fields.¡± ¡°In fact, with brainwave input, a large-scale software that originally needed to be developed by a team can be developed by an individual .¡± ¡°I believe that with the popularization of brainwave input, our country¡¯s software industry will develop rapidly.¡± ¡°Next, I will show everyone how to use brainwaves to operate a computer.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have a friendly match with Huawei, Baidu, Tencent, National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, and Team EDG, the number one League of Legends team in the world.¡± Team EDG had won every match in League of Legends. Every member was very popular and highly skilled. What better way to demonstrate brainwave computer operation than to conduct a competition with Team EDG. ¡°President Wang of Huawei, President He of Baidu, President Zhou of National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, President Li of Tencent, and I will form an elderlies team to fight Team EDG in League of Legends.¡± ¡°We will demonstrate how advanced and convenient it is to use brainwaves to operate the computer.¡± There was no better way to demonstrate this than by gaming. As Li Chengqian spoke, a large number of comments appeared on the public screen. ¡°President Wang is almost 70 years old and he¡¯s still gaming.¡± ¡°An elderlies team¡­ this is amazing!¡± ¡°Shit, there¡¯s a 17-year-old kid on the elderlies team.¡± ¡°F*ck, the average age of the elderlies team is more than 50!¡± ¡°It¡¯s more appropriate to call it the Tyrannical CEO Team.¡± ¡°The invincible Team EDG! The elderlies team is simply asking to be whacked.¡± ¡°The match-fixers are on their way!¡± ¡°Team EDG, trash them!¡± The members of the elderlies team entered the livestream one after another and greeted everyone with a smile. The members of Team EDG also showed a relaxed smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. We¡¯ll do our best because Divine Dragon Software has signed a bet with us. If we can win this competition, we¡¯ll get a million yuan prize money,¡± the captain of Team EDG, MEIKO, said confidently on the screen. ¡°Don¡¯t fix the match. Otherwise, I will unfollow you in future.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software is rich and resourceful!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software is awesome!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t understand this kind of money burning behavior.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software is being over confident. They don¡¯t understand how powerful Team EDG is at all.¡± ¡°Regardless of whether the brainwave control method is advanced or not, the elderlies team is definitely no match for Team EDG.¡± ¡°Gaming is about hand speed and awareness! And the level of familiarity with the game. Your elderlies team doesn¡¯t have the advantage in any aspect, okay?¡± ¡°Every member of the elderlies team is a busy company executive. I don¡¯t believe they can afford the time to game every day. They¡¯re definitely not a match for Team EDG unless they have fixed the match.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s Li Wanji?¡± Li Chengqian continued to introduce, ¡°Our elderlies team will use the brainwave receiver. Team EDG will use the traditional mouse and keyboard.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, the League of Legends teams had been successfully formed and entered the game. ¡°Game on!¡± Chapter 148 - 148 Two Million Reservations 148 Two Million Reservations Ten minutes into the game. ¡°Good Game!¡± MEIKO, the captain of Team EDG, typed the words ¡°concede defeat¡± on the screen. Within ten minutes, the hero controlled by MEIKO had been killed 11 times. Their side had been killed a total of 43 times! In the beginning, MEIKO was nonchalant. He was even thinking about how not to make the presidents of the elderlies team look too bad. But when the game really started, he realized that Li Chengqian was simply abnormal. Li Chengqian was always the one who completed the last attack of the small soldier. As for the minions on Li Chengqian¡¯s side, they would all be eliminated by Li Chengqian at the last moment! After he met Li Chengqian in the game, he did not obtain a single experience point after one round. Li Chengqian directly leveled up to Level 5. Ever since Li Chengqian reached Level 5, MEIKO began to suffer. As long as he encountered Li Chengqian, he would definitely die! As long as he encountered Li Chengqian, he would not be able to obtain a single experience point. All the soldiers on his side would be harvested by Li Chengqian. MEIKO refused to believe it. He organized attacks on Li Chengqian again and again, and every time, they were wiped out. On the other two routes, although they were not as terrifying as Li Chengqian, they were not much worse. The seasoned members of Team EDG were no match for the elderlies team at all. On the public screen, fervent comments started appearing after the game started. Team EDG was beaten badly, and the netizens could clearly see that everyone in Team EDG was working hard. They were simply helpless. Just now, Li Chengqian was gaming and explaining at the same time. Through the brainwave receiver, there was no delay. He would hit wherever he pointed and there would not be any mistakes. When thoughts appeared in his mind, they would immediately be reflected in the game. ¡°This is too awesome. The brainwave control can hit wherever he wants! The moment an idea appeared, it was executed on the computer. This is something that no amount of hand speed can achieve.¡± ¡°As long as I have the brainwave receiver that the elderlies team was using, I can also game like this and become a champion.¡± ¡°I want to buy a set. I want to torture the noobs on League of Legends.¡± ¡°Give me a set of brainwave receivers. I might beat a Champion to the pulp.¡± ¡°Brainwave analysis technology is too powerful. This is a technology that transcends time.¡± ¡°The invention of brainwave analysis technology is the same as the invention of firearms. Before the invention of firearms, whoever had a stronger body would win. After the invention of firearms, no matter how strong a body was, it would be dead in the face of firearms!¡± ¡°This was as good as facing a firing squad! Technology wins the day.¡± ¡°This is a dimensional attack.¡± ¡°President Li, just say it. What¡¯s the price of this thing?¡± ¡°I want to buy a set!¡± Through the three methods that Li Chengqian had just used, Chinese character input, code input, and gaming, people no longer had any doubts about the brainwave coding technology. Especially this game. There was live participation from President Wang of Huawei, President He of Baidu, President Zhou of National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company and President Li of Tencent. There was no more room for doubt. It was very easy for the Divine Dragon Software Company to fake it on their own, but it was absolutely impossible for them to rope in Huawei, Baidu, Tencent, and the state-owned National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company as well. ¡°Divine Dragon Software is awesome. It can even develop sci-fi technology like the brainwave receiver!¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°In the field of brainwave research, the Divine Dragon Country will lead the world from today on and will always be in the lead!¡± ¡°Restrict exports. This formidable tool must not be exported!¡± ¡°President Li, we¡¯re from Douyin Group. We want to buy¡­¡± ¡°President Li, we¡¯re an online group. We want to buy¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ve surpassed the west in yet another field. In short, our country is amazing. The Divine Dragon Software is amazing.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software, you guys are too awesome.¡± The voices of doubt completely disappeared from the livestream. The excited and proud netizens left many comments praising Li Chengqian. At the same time, they began to discuss how they would dominate each industry. Because of the appearance of the brainwave receiver, they would improve quickly. ¡°President Li, are you selling the brainwave receivers? I want to buy ten sets!¡± After the game¡¯s live broadcast ended, Team EDG¡¯s captain, MEIKO, said with a face full of longing. After personally fighting Li Chengqian just now, he realized what he used to think was very good gaming equipment, such as the customized mouse and keyboard, were simply scrap metal. Once they encountered players who used brainwave receivers, they would only be abused. MEIKO¡¯s question attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Even the number of people talking in the livestream suddenly decreased. Through the demonstration just now, not only did MEIKO want to buy it, but many people in the livestream also wanted to buy it. Especially the companies in software development, they stared at the livestream with anticipation in their eyes. ¡°Captain MEIKO, and all my friends who are watching, the fourth product I want to introduce today is the brainwave receiver! The brainwave receiver is a device used in conjunction with the third product. It can only work with the support of brainwave analysis technology.¡± ¡°The function of the brainwave receiver has just been demonstrated! I believe everyone has a direct understanding of the performance of the brainwave receiver.¡± ¡°However, there are a few things I have to say first to let everyone know what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Our strategy is to sell the brainwave receiver, the enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System, and the brainwave analysis technology as a set.¡± ¡°We will not sell the items individually.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the brainwave analysis technology only supports the Divine Dragon System! If you are using other systems, it¡¯s useless even if you buy the hardware.¡± ¡°At the same time, we have set up detailed security settings inside the system. The enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System, the brainwave analysis technology, and the brainwave receiver can only be used in Divine Dragon Country. This set of equipment would not work if you take it out of the country.¡± ¡°The price of one set is 100,000 yuan!¡± ¡°In three minutes, the products will be put up for sale on the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company. There are 10,000 machines in the first batch. You can buy them if you need them.¡± ¡°In addition, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company has 1 million sets of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone for sale. Huawei has 200,000 sets of the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone for sale. You can buy them if you need them.¡± ¡°Please remember the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s philosophy, which is to use technology to increase efficiency and to benefit the world.¡± ¡°The first product, the Divine Dragon Compiler, makes the migration of software easy and efficient.¡± ¡°The second product, the Divine Dragon System, is a completely domestically produced free operating system. Its performance is twice that of the Windows system, and it¡¯s more stable than Linux. Let me take a look¡­ Currently, the number of users of the Divine Dragon Operating System has changed from 0 to 3.54 million, and it¡¯s still rising rapidly.¡± On the big screen, the usage data of the Divine Dragon System was rapidly increasing. ¡°There were 35 software applications for the Divine Dragon System at the beginning of the press conference. Currently, it has risen to 836, covering all industries. I believe that the Divine Dragon System has the most comprehensive range of software among all operating systems.¡± ¡°The third and fourth products are the brainwave coding technology and the brainwave receiver. They can increase our efficiency by a hundredfold, allowing our thoughts to instantly enter our brains.¡± ¡°Every product of ours is in line with the company¡¯s philosophy to increase efficiency and to benefit the world.¡± ¡°At the moment, we¡¯re close to brainwave coding techniques such as words, symbols, and numbers, but we¡¯re still not perfect.¡± ¡°Next, we will continue to perfect the brainwave coding technology and complete the research on audio input, image input, and video input.¡± ¡°By using brainwave coding technology, we can turn the information in our minds into beautiful movies, stunning wallpapers, and melodious music.¡± ¡°This will improve the efficiency of our creation.¡± ¡°We have come to the end of our press conference. Thank you for your participation. I look forward to seeing you again at the next press conference!¡± Following the sound of the closing tune, the livestream instantly turned black. ¡°Based on the research done by the Divine Dragon Software Company on brainwave coding technology, this company will definitely become one of the greatest companies in the world.¡± ¡°Nonsense, the Divine Dragon Software Company is already the greatest company in the world. Not one of the best, but the best!¡± ¡°Brainwave coding technology. This is a technology that would lead an era.¡± ¡°Our country has begun to lead the world in new fields! The Divine Dragon Country is the strongest, and citizens of the Divine Dragon Country are the strongest!¡± ¡°While others were still studying brainwave word coding, Li Chengqian had already begun studying brainwave video input. His brain is definitely the smartest brain in the world. It¡¯s not inferior to Einstein¡¯s!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, this is an extraordinary person destined to have a place in the history of science.¡± ¡°F*ck, the image in my mind directly appeared in the computer and turned into a movie, and into a picture. This is too sci-fi!¡± ¡°My brain often can¡¯t help but think of images not suitable for children. I¡¯m wondering if these images will run into my computer!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. The sale is about to start. I¡¯m going to buy a set of brainwave receivers to try out.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is still the most reliable. We can still buy Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones at the original price of 999 yuan. Scalpers are already selling them for 2,500 yuan on T-Mall! It¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°What¡¯s even more ridiculous is that the 2,500 yuan Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone is already out of stock because of the press conference!¡± ¡°The scalpers have already sold the Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phones for 15,000 yuan!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go and buy phones. Every person is allowed to buy two phones. One for himself and one for resale. Not only will we recoup the money for the phones, but we will also earn a small sum.¡± Immediately, a large number of people flooded into the homepage of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Then, they saw the queue for the pre-purchase of the three products. Brainwave Set, 1.57 million reservations! Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone, 10.89 million reservations! Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone, 4.75 million reservations! ¡°F*ck, this is too scary. There are actually so many people trying to buy a set of equipment that costs 100,000-yuan.¡± Only 10,000 sets were available for sale this time but the number of reservations was 1.57 million! In the blink of an eye, the number of people who made reservations surged to 2 million. Chapter 149 - 149 Heymes Sales Crisis 149 Heyme¡¯s Sales Crisis Western Empire, in the video conference. Cook, Pi Chayi, and Satia¡¯s expressions were extremely solemn. ¡°The brainwave input technology is real!¡± ¡°Not only has the Divine Dragon Software developed brainwave input for words, but it has also developed the brainwave operation of computers.¡± ¡°This is scary!¡± ¡°We have to get our hands on the brainwave coding technology and the brainwave receiver.¡± Then, the three of them quickly entered the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company, wanting to buy a set of brainwave receivers. ¡°As long as we can get a set of brainwave receivers, we can analyze any technology!¡± ¡°Even if Divine Dragon Software had encrypted its brainwave-related technology, we will still be able to reverse engineer it using the fastest supercomputers in the world.¡± The Western Empire had activated the world¡¯s first E-level supercomputer. Its computing ability was number one in the world, and was 100 times that of the Divine Mighty Supercomputer of the Divine Dragon Country. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software is really a fool. How could they place such an advanced technical equipment like the brainwave receiver for sale on the internet. Although it is only for sale to citizens of the Divine Dragon Country, their personal information is everywhere on the internet.¡± Soon, the three of them found the personal information of a few Divine Dragon Country citizens and tried to register an account. A pop-up window appeared. [Currently, our company only provides services to citizens of Divine Dragon Country.] ¡°F*ck, that damned easterner!¡± The three of them were still unwilling to give up. They used technical means to obtain a network address in the Divine Dragon Country and used this address to register again. The pop-up window appeared again. [Currently, our company only provides services to citizens of Divine Dragon Country.] ¡°Sh*t, why is this happening!¡± Satia cursed loudly. Then, he quickly found the company¡¯s cybersecurity expert to assist with the registration. Then, the results were the same. All the methods were detected by Divine Dragon Software and they couldn¡¯t register at all. Cook and Pi Chayi also did the same thing, but it was all in vain. This outcome made them feel extremely frustrated. In the past, no matter where the people of the Western Empire went, they were special citizens and would receive special treatment. In the past, they were the only ones who prohibited citizens of Divine Dragon Country from certain things. And now, Divine Dragon Software had changed the rules of the game. The Divine Dragon Software Company had managed to lock out even the most advanced equipment. ¡°The cybersecurity technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company is beyond my expectations!¡± Satia said indignantly. ¡°However, Li Chengqian is too simple minded. Although we can¡¯t register or buy from the official mall, we have employees who are citizens of Divine Dragon Country, and they are also based there.¡± ¡°We will ask our employee to buy it and ship it to the Western Empire. This way we can circumvent Li Chengqian¡¯s blockage.¡± ¡°Although our company doesn¡¯t have any employees in Divine Dragon Country, I can ask my business partner to procure the brainwave receiver.¡± Pi Chayi¡¯s face was filled with confidence. ¡°Actually, as long as you¡¯re willing to pay, you can buy anything.¡± Cook was even more confident. ¡°As long as we get the equipment, the technology related to brainwaves will be ours!¡± ¡­ On Divine Dragon¡¯s official website, the number of reservations for brainwave receivers exceeded 5 million. After the sale started, the buying spree only lasted three seconds. In three seconds, all 10,000 sets of brainwave receivers were sold out! ¡°F*ck, are you guys human? Ten thousand brainwave receivers are gone in three seconds!¡± ¡°This is 100,000 yuan per set of equipment, not one yuan per set. Why are there so many people buying it?¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t manage to buy one, offer a premium of 10,000 yuan and ask for a resale!¡± ¡°I just want to buy a set of brainwave receivers to torture the noobs. Willing to buy from a reseller.¡± ¡°Douyin Corporation is purchasing a large number of brainwave receivers. They are offering up to an additional 50,000 yuan per set!¡± ¡°A large-scale acquisition by an online company. Offering a premium of 50,000 yuan!¡± ¡°90% game acquisition¡­¡± One million Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones were sold out in 30 seconds. All the Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phones were sold out in 30 seconds. When the online sales was in a frenzy, the phones at the Divine Dragon Software Company rang off the hook. Everyone only had one question. When would the brainwave receivers be sold again? Can they order in advance? People were willing to pay in advance and come back to pick up the goods after the Divine Dragon Software Company had produced them. However, because all the employees of the Divine Dragon Software Company had already switched to using brainwave receivers, they were extremely efficient and orderly. ¡­ In the CEO¡¯s office of Heyme Corporation, after watching the press conference, Lei Che was serious and stony faced as he listened to the reports from the various departments. ¡°President Lei, we didn¡¯t manage to buy any brainwave receivers.¡± Secretary Xiaoli was the first to speak. When Li Chengqian said at the press conference that 10,000 brainwave receivers would be released, Lei Che had arranged for the entire company to register an account with Divine Dragon Software so as to participate in the buying frenzy. Lei Che nodded, still stony faced. Then, he looked at the sales department. ¡°President Tian, how¡¯s the situation in the sales department?¡± ¡°President, the situation is not good!¡± Tian Dengbing from the sales department looked very concerned. Compared to the popularity of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone, the sales of Heyme phones were very bad. ¡°Our Heyme 14 mobile phone has been released for half a month. The total sales volume is only 70,000 units! The sales volume is less than one-tenth of last year¡¯s.¡± In the past, when a flagship model was released, the sales volume was at least 800,000 units for the first 2 weeks. ¡°We released an entry-level mobile phone this year, the White Mi 80. We stocked 5 million units. The total sales to date is only 40,000 units! The sales is less than 1% of last year¡¯s sales.¡± Half a month after the release of the White Mi 70 last year, the sales were 4.8 million units! ¡°Other than mobile phones, our computers, televisions, and smart home appliances are all affected. The sales are less than one-tenth of the previous year¡¯s.¡± ¡°President, the current situation is very serious. This is the biggest crisis since the Heyme Group was established. If this situation lasts for a year, our company will risk bankruptcy.¡± Tian Dengbing¡¯s voice was low. ¡°After our investigation, we discovered that the biggest problem at the moment is that our phones are not installed with the Divine Dragon System! As long as the Divine Dragon System is installed, we should be able to reverse the current low sales.¡± Tian Dengbing thought for a moment and decided to state the user¡¯s sentiments. This was because on Heyme¡¯s forum, and on the Heyme System forum, there were already many user posts requesting the installation of the Divine Dragon System. However, the core assets of the Heyme Corporation had always been the Heyme System! The Heyme system raked in 110 billion yuan of ad revenue from ads placed on its system. If they abandoned the Heyme system, the ad revenue of 100 billion yuan a year would instantly be gone. Wang Tianle, who was in charge of the Heyme system, was immediately upset by what Tian Dengbing said. ¡°No! Our mobile phones and other hardware equipment are not profitable at all. It is the Heyme system that has been making money for us! It¡¯s the built-in ads in the Heyme System! If we switch to the Divine Dragon System, according to the strict review mechanism of the Divine Dragon System, our built-in ad module will be eliminated.¡± ¡°Without the support of the ad module, we won¡¯t have any income! Without income, the corporation will go bankrupt!¡± ¡°President Wang, the ad you mentioned is a matter of the future. If we don¡¯t use the Divine Dragon System now, we will immediately face bankruptcy.¡± Tian Dengbing retorted bluntly. ¡°Alright, stop arguing.¡± Lei Che rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He stopped the two of them from arguing. One option was to go bankrupt now, and the other was to go bankrupt in the future. Currently, Heyme Corporation had no option to choose at all! ¡°You haven¡¯t fully understood the situation yet.¡± ¡°The problem now is not whether we want to use the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a question of whether Li Chengqian will let us use it or not!¡± Lei Che¡¯s face was bitter. Chapter 150 - 150 Thirty Billion Income in One Hour 150 Thirty Billion Income in One Hour At Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian was listening to the reports after ending the livestream At this moment, the company¡¯s new CEO, Huang Ting, was providing Li Chengqian with updates on this press conference. Huang Ting was recommended by He Hongyan. Before joining Divine Dragon Software, he was the CEO of Baidu! Not only was he very capable, but he was also very trusted by He Hongyan. ¡°Boss, there were 86 million viewers for the livestream of this press conference, this is a record breaking number.¡± ¡°After the press conference ended, the topic of our products on Weibo reached 500 million!¡± ¡°Brainwave coding technology is the number one trending topic and has been reposted by national media such as the national television station.¡± ¡°The top ten trending words on Weibo are all related to our Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°We sold out the brainwave receivers online in three seconds. The sales revenue was one billion.¡± ¡°We have received orders for 36,000 units via phone and fax. We expect to receive 3.6 billion yuan via transfer today.¡± ¡°There are also some big corporate clients whose orders are larger and need to come to our company for a face-to-face discussion. Currently, the number of potential orders is 260,000 sets!¡± When Huang Ting said 260,000 sets, he looked at Li Chengqian with boundless admiration. Less than an hour after the release of the brainwave coding technology, he had received almost 30 billion yuan of orders. Moreover, without counting the research and development cost, the profit of the brainwave receivers had already reached an astonishing 900%! This level of profit was unprecedented in the country. This was a profit margin that even the world¡¯s giants who monopolized the market have not achieved. Actually, when He Hongyan asked him to be the CEO of Divine Dragon Software, Huang Ting wasn¡¯t very keen. At this moment, he wouldn¡¯t go back even if He Hongyan gave him the position of CEO at Baidu. ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve received a large number of queries from overseas. They all want to buy the brainwave receivers from our company. As long as we have the intention to export them, they¡¯re willing to buy them for 100,000 yuan per set. At the moment, the number of sets they intend to buy has already reached 500,000.¡± At 100,000 yuan per unit, 500,000 units would be 50 billion yuan! ¡°I feel that even if we increase the price by ten times, they will still buy it?¡± Huang Ting¡¯s breathing became hurried. ¡°What companies are these?¡± Li Chengqian asked calmly. ¡°Windows, ICM, Oracle, SAP, Apple, Google, Intel, AMD, ARM, Nvidia, Qualcomm¡­¡± Huang Ting took out a piece of paper filled with the company¡¯s names. So many big companies have called to make inquiries recently. Li Chengqian laughed when he heard about Google and Qualcomm! Many of the companies¡¯ names were very familiar. They were all companies that had announced the ban on Divine Dragon Software a while ago. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to go on!¡± ¡°We will not be exporting the brainwave receivers for the time being,¡± Li Chengqian said without hesitation. ¡°Do you still remember the ban jointly issued by Google, Qualcomm, and the other companies a while ago? No western companies were allowed to cooperate with the Divine Dragon Software Company. Any company who collaborated with us in Divine Dragon Country will be included in the ban.¡± ¡°I¡¯m giving them a taste of their own medicine now. An eye for an eye!¡± ¡°The brainwave receivers will not be sold to any western company for the time being.¡± ¡°After we develop more advanced brainwave receivers, we will selectively export the products we have phased out!¡± Li Chengqian made his stand clear. Huang Ting looked regretful. He was very clear about the production of the brainwave receivers. The technical difficulty of producing the hardware was not high. What was really difficult was the brainwave coding technology! The brainwave coding technology was the core technology of the brainwave receivers. If he were to produce them freely, it would not be a problem for him to produce a million sets a month. However, since Li Chengqian had already made a decision, he naturally couldn¡¯t defy him. He could only follow the strategy set by Li Chengqian. Although in this way, the Divine Software Software Company would earn tens of billions less a year, Huang Ting felt very relieved! This was because in the past, it was always the west that cut off all kinds of supply to domestic companies. This time, it was the Divine Dragon Software Company that had cut off supply to the west. This scene fueled his passion. ¡°President Huang, what about the other two things I asked you to do?¡± Li Chengqian continued to ask. ¡°Boss, the government has agreed to allocate the small desert at the north gate of Tianyi City to us for free, but they require us to complete our work in stopping desertification within three years.¡± ¡°At the same time, the government also allocated 500 acres of land to us for our factory and office. The price is 1 million yuan per acre.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the architects and asked them to come here to do the planning and design. As the land area is too large, it will take a year to plan and design the factory and office building. After the design is completed, it will take three years to build and renovate.¡± At this rate, it would take at least four years for the building to be operational. ¡°En, I understand!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°Arrange a time for me to meet with the architects. This speed is too slow.¡± The desert had to be managed for sure, but while doing so, he could also take on the Farmer profession. That wasn¡¯t too much to ask, was it? The Farmer profession in the Master of All Professions game provided high-quality food, medicine, ferocious beasts, and so on for the protagonist of the game. It had optimized crops, qualitatively nurtured crops, and produced strange items that enhanced the three-dimensional properties of the body. It was very powerful. The Farmer profession was a basic supporting profession in the Master of All Professions game. Without enough food, everything else was lip service. Ever since Li Chengqian upgraded his Farmer profession to level 9, he had always wanted to become a farm owner. However, the Farmer profession was really too mysterious! He had to be properly prepared as the consequences would be dire if he got caught out! And now, with the release of the brainwave coding technology, he finally had some capabilities! ¡°What about the other thing? The relevant data on the relationship between brain disease and brainwaves?¡± Li Chengqian continued to ask. In fact, besides inputting words and operating computers, the brainwave receiver could also detect brain diseases. In order to study the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian had read almost all the brain research materials on the market. Through the amplification, filtering and processing of brainwaves, the brainwave receiver he had developed was much more accurate than the most advanced brainwave receivers. It was the most advanced, whether in medicine or applied scientific research. An imported EEG costs about 500,000 yuan. Li Chengqian could make an EEG that was more advanced and precise, and it wouldn¡¯t cost more than 10,000 yuan. He only needed to obtain the characteristics of the brainwave data of various diseases and establish a database. He could then determine if a patient had any brain disease and what stage it was at using the brainwave receiver. In terms of functionality, accuracy, and the auxiliary judgment of diseases, it surpassed all the products in this world. Moreover, with the foundation of the brainwave receiver, it was very easy to make. The first was the brainwave database, and the second was a diagnostic software. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve looked for many medical institutions, but¡­ they declined to provide data! They all say that it¡¯s illegal to provide patient data without the approval of the higher-ups!¡± Huang Ting was a little helpless. He had mobilized all his connections, but he didn¡¯t obtain any data. ¡°Then let¡¯s put this business aside for now! Let me think about how to deal with it. Is there anything else?¡± Li Chengqian frowned. ¡°Boss, President Lei of Heyme Corporation called earlier and said that he wanted to meet you. When are you free?¡± He was the one who took Lei Che¡¯s call. Lei Che was very humble and spoke very politely. ¡°Oh! He wants to meet me? It¡¯s a little earlier than I expected.¡± After hearing this news, Li Chengqian smiled. The fact that Lei Che wanted to come meant that he was at his wits¡¯ end! As long as he took down Heyme Corporation, together with Huawei and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, he would have more than half of the mobile phone manufacturers in Divine Dragon Country. He would have absolute say amongst the mobile phone manufacturers in the Divine Dragon Country. Chapter 151 - 151 AI Program, Bai Ze 151 AI Program, Bai Ze Li Chengqian leaned back in his chair and recalled his conversation with the designer Xie Jie today. Xie Jie was a well-known designer that Huang Ting had engaged. He was in charge of designing the Divine Dragon Software Company building. According to Xie Jie, it was not difficult to design the facade and floor plans of the building. However, it was time consuming because there was a lot of repetitive work. The really challenging part was the calculation of the engineering mechanics. The Divine Dragon Software Company building had 51 floors and was 180 meters tall. It was challenging to calculate the building materials and the endurance load of each floor. At the same time, the construction materials used could also be different because of the different endurance load for each level. Currently, the construction CAD drawing software was only used for design drawings. It couldn¡¯t help the designer calculate the construction materials needed. For example, how many thick steel bars were needed, how many steel bars were in each pillar, and how many pillars were needed. All of this required the designer to make careful calculations. While ensuring safety, he also had to ensure the financial feasibility of the project. After a detailed discussion with the designer Xie Jie for two hours, Li Chengqian had a crystal clear concept of the problems that needed to be solved. Design a new intelligent construction CAD software! This new software would do automatic computation of endurance loads and automatic selection of construction materials. After inputting the land size, geological parameters, floor height, floor area, and the building use, everything would be automatically designed! At a higher level, after feeding the building materials database into the software, it could directly calculate the quantity of building materials to be purchased, the total materials cost of the house, and so on. With Li Chengqian¡¯s programming skills, it was not difficult to develop such a software. Although it was very complicated, it was nowhere near as complicated as an operating system. However, developing an intelligent construction CAD software requires a deep understanding of engineering mechanics, material mechanics, and various architectural specifications. At the same time, a sufficient understanding of the related nature of construction materials was also required. ¡°I need to study hard!¡± In front of Li Chengqian were the relevant books recommended by Xie Jie. There were more than 50 books on Engineering Mechanics, Materials Mechanics, Geometry Mechanics, CAD Cartography Specifications, and so on. Every one of them was a thick volume! To others, they might not even be able to learn it well in ten years. But to Li Chengqian, one week was enough. However, Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t in a hurry to learn it. This was because he had enough experience value points to upgrade the first skill of his Software Engineer profession to the Master level. Li Chengqian recalled that after the Mental Coding skill was upgraded to Master level, he could encode intelligence and upload it to the computer. To form a true¡­ AI program! With the AI program, many things could be done by it. Following Li Chengqian¡¯s thoughts, his personal interface opened in front of him. ¡°Upgrade Mental Coding proficiency!¡± [You have consumed 800,000 experience value points. Your coding proficiency has been upgraded to Master level. You have 2.1 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Mental Coding (Master): It can encode the host¡¯s thoughts and memories and upload them to a computer to form a B+ level AI program that can learn on its own. This AI program will be under the host¡¯s absolute control. The host will never lose control of it.] ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s face was filled with excitement when he saw the introduction on the Master level Mental Coding. Then, Li Chengqian quickly closed his personal interface and put on the brainwave receiver. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental coding!¡± Three skills were activated at the same time. Then, under Li Chengqian¡¯s control, his thoughts, memories, and everything related to intelligence were copied by the Mental Coding skill and transmitted to the computer in front of him. It took a full three hours for the data transfer to be completed. The data transmitted not only occupied the computer in front of him, but also filled up all the remaining space in the company¡¯s server. After the data transfer was completed, the AI program automatically began to operate. On the computer, a small person identical to Li Chengqian appeared on the desktop and said with a stony face, ¡°Hello, Master. I¡¯m AI Li Chengqian! May I ask what I can do for you?¡± His voice was exactly the same as Li Chengqian¡¯s, but it was steely cold, without a trace of emotion. When Li Chengqian saw the image of the AI on the computer and heard the voice, he immediately shuddered. Then, at his request, the AI turned into a cartoon image, and its voice was somewhat different from his. Li Chengqian then gave the AI a name: Bai Ze! ¡°Bai Ze, I¡¯ll task you to develop the intelligent construction CAD software. Do you need me to do anything?¡± Bai Ze was actually Li Chengqian¡¯s replica. Moreover, because Bai Ze was an AI program, it was more convenient for him to acquire knowledge. As long as the relevant knowledge was copied to Bai Ze¡¯s catalog, it was equivalent to learning it. ¡°Based on calculations, due to hardware restrictions, Bai Ze¡¯s computing ability can only be used at 1%. It will take 24 hours to develop the intelligent construction CAD software!¡± ¡°Master, please authorize me to connect to the internet. I need to collect relevant materials for developing the intelligent construction CAD software, such as construction specifications, mechanical characteristics, materials parameters, and so on.¡± A cold voice came from the computer. ¡°Agreed! But you must be careful and not be discovered by anyone!¡± Li Chengqian agreed with a smile. He had no reason not to. With Bai Ze around, he could break free from the backbreaking and time consuming programming work. He could focus on other things. ¡°Hardware restrictions? When I go to Dragon City in a few days to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, I¡¯ll go to the Computer Science Institute of the Academy of Sciences and ask if they have supercomputers for sale.¡± ¡­ Early the next morning, under the lead of Huang Ting and Zhao Na, the group from Heyme Corporation entered Li Chengqian¡¯s studio. This floor of the studio was more than 2,000 square meters. After the renovation, other than a partitioned area that served as Li Chengqian¡¯s studio, there was also a newly renovated 100 square meters conference room. It was right next to Li Chengqian¡¯s studio, so it was convenient for Li Chengqian to work. After everyone took their seats, both parties made a simple introduction and the meeting officially began. ¡°President Li, I¡¯m here to ask for your help!¡± Lei Che¡¯s face was bitter. He cut straight to the chase. At this point, there was no need to beat around the bush. He was here to beg, so his attitude had to be sincere. ¡°Oh?¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t comment. Seeing that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t reply, Lei Che stood up and apologized sincerely. ¡°President Li, first of all, I need to apologize to you! After your company released the Divine Dragon Optimization App, without communicating with you, we took it down and issued a security notification on it. Later on, we even used a push update to reinforce the Heyme system and banned the installation of the App.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll want to apologize to President Li on this first!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm, and he didn¡¯t say anything. On the other hand, Zhao Na showed vindication on her face. At that time, Heyme Corporation had also sent people to the Divine Dragon Software Company to offer to buy the App. Zhao Na was the one who received them. Their attitude was very haughty. They looked like they were going to ban the Divine Dragon Optimization App if it wasn¡¯t sold to them. And that was exactly what they did. The extent of Heyme¡¯s haughtiness back then was in direct relation to the extent of Lei Che¡¯s sorry state now. ¡­ Chapter 152 - 152 Meeting Heyme, Harsh Terms 152 Meeting Heyme, Harsh Terms ¡°President Lei, commercially, I can understand your actions. You prohibiting the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App is a commercial decision, there¡¯s no need to apologize. Please take a seat,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. He did not show any joy because of Lei Che¡¯s apology. ¡°I¡¯m a straightforward person. I don¡¯t like to beat around the bush. President Lei, I roughly understand why you came to the Divine Dragon Software Company today.¡± ¡°Please go straight to the point!¡± Lei Che sat down. ¡°President Li, to be honest, I came here this time to discuss with you about authorizing Heyme phones to use the Divine Dragon System! The price is negotiable! Even if it¡¯s higher than Huawei or the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, we can accept it.¡± When Lei Che spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. He was very nervous, like a prisoner waiting for a verdict. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. He didn¡¯t detect any trace of emotions in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°President Lei, it¡¯s not impossible to authorize Heyme phones to use the System! But I have my terms and conditions¡­¡± Lei Che was overjoyed when he heard what Li Chengqian said. As long as there was room for negotiation, there was hope! If Heyme Corporation couldn¡¯t obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System, they would quickly go bankrupt. He would be surprised indeed if Li Chengqian didn¡¯t name any conditions. Lei Che suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked with a solemn expression, ¡°President Li, what conditions?¡± ¡°Firstly, I want WPS.¡± WPS was a domestic word processing system. It had a huge user base, almost covering the entire domestic market. It was very mature and developed. ¡°Secondly, I want the Heyme Advertising Platform!¡± The Heyme Advertising Platform contributed a huge amount of profits to Heyme Corporation annually. ¡°Thirdly, for phones below 1,000 yuan, the System authorization fee is 100 yuan per phone. For phones above 1,000 yuan, the system authorization fee would be 10% of the retail price.¡± ¡°Fourthly, Heyme Corporation must collaborate with, and support the strategies of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Of course, I can guarantee that you won¡¯t suffer a loss if you collaborate with the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Li Chengqian smiled at Lei Che after he finished speaking. Each of these conditions was more excessive than the last. Every time Li Chengqian raised a condition, Lei Che¡¯s expression would darken a little. By the time Li Chengqian named his fourth condition, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore, and his face turned black. ¡°President Li, the WPS software is not an asset of Heyme Corporation! It belongs to Silver Mountain Corporation!¡± ¡°The Heyme Advertising Platform is the core asset of Heyme Corporation. It¡¯s absolutely impossible to sell it.¡± ¡°I can agree to the third condition right away!¡± Lei Che answered solemnly after careful deliberation. ¡°President Lei, with the technology of Divine Dragon Software and the efficiency of the brainwave receiver, it will only take two months for the Divine Dragon Software Company to redevelop a WPS software. The WPS software is worthless in my eyes. What I value is the brand name.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve checked. Silver Mountain Corporation¡¯s annual net profit is 390 million yuan. The profit from WPS software is less than 50 million yuan!¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll offer you 250 million yuan to buy the WPS software!¡± Seeing that Lei Che frowned and was about to speak, Li Chengqian waved his hand. ¡°President Lei, listen to me. If you can accept it, we¡¯ll continue to talk. If you can¡¯t accept it, let¡¯s not waste each other¡¯s time. There¡¯s no need to continue.¡± Lei Che was dumbfounded when he heard what Li Chengqian said. Then, he leaned weakly against the chair. Only then did he realize that this was not a normal business negotiation. This was Heyme Corporation begging for mercy from Divine Dragon Software. In front of Li Chengqian, who had mastered the Divine Dragon System, Heyme Corporation had no right to bargain! If Li Chengqian didn¡¯t agree to Heyme¡¯s use of the Divine Dragon System, Heyme would definitely go bankrupt. Compared to bankruptcy, what conditions were unacceptable? Chapter 153 - Chapter 153 Intelligent CAD Software Chapter 153 Intelligent CAD Software ¡°Master, the Intelligent CAD software has been developed.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice came from the computer speaker. Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze landed on the computer desktop. Immediately, a folder named ¡®Intelligent CAD System¡¯ appeared in front of Li Chengqian. Two translucent notifications appeared in front of Li Chengqian. [intelligent CAD System completion rate: 100%. Software grade: C.] [C-grade software development completed. Reward: 1 million experience value points. Current Experience Pool: 3.1 million experience value points.] After reading the notification, Li Chengqian opened the software in a leisurely manner. An interface similar to AUTOCAD appeared in front of Li Chengqian. The first thing that appeared in front of Li Chengqian was a notification interface. ¡°Please import a topographic map of the land to be built on.¡± He really didn¡¯t have the topographic map of the land. This data was in Xie Jie¡¯s hands. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the studio. The new CEO¡¯s secretary, Chen Cheng, said in a polished voice, ¡°Boss, the designer, Xie Jie is here. What do you think we should do?¡± Li Chengqian stopped what he was doing and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Let Xie Jie in.¡± In terms of architectural design, Li Chengqian was not a professional. He would need a professional to assess whether the design plan produced by the Intelligent CAD software was reasonable or feasible, and what flaws it had. Therefore, he didn¡¯t intend to hide it. ¡°Boss, we are almost done discussing the details of the collaboration with President Lei. He wants to talk to you about the advertising platform going forward. What do you think?¡± Zhao Na continued to ask. ¡°How about this? Ask President Lei, President Huang, and Director Zhao Na to come up together.¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and made the arrangements. The purpose of the Intelligent CAD software was to assist people. Li Chengqian wanted others to help review if the software was useful and if the design was feasible. Moreover, when the construction of the Divine Dragon Software Company building begins, other parties would be involved. ¡°This is CAD? It doesn¡¯t look like AUTOCAD software. Could it be a new software that just appeared? It looks too simple.¡± After Xie Jie came in, he took a seat on Li Chengqian¡¯s invitation. He happened to see the image of the Intelligent CAD software on the big screen. He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn¡¯t voice it directly. Soon, Lei Che, Huang Ting, and Zhao Na arrived at the studio and sat in front of the big screen. ¡°President Li, it¡¯s like this¡­¡± After Lei Che took a seat, he was prepared to explain his next step in managing the advertising platform. ¡°Xie Jie, President Lei, let¡¯s not talk about other issues for the time being!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve developed an Intelligent CAD software. I invited you here today to ask you to help conduct a limited user test,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. Then, he shifted his gaze to Xie Ji, the designer. ¡°Xie Jie, do you have a topographic map with you?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Designer Xie Jie had a computer in his hand. As he spoke, he had already turned on the computer and emailed Li Chengqian a topographic map. Then, he looked at the big screen curiously, but he didn¡¯t think much of it. CAD software was industrial software. Its actual name was the Computer-Aided Design system. In the beginning, CAD software was used to assist in the design of aircraft, rockets, missiles, cars, and other cutting-edge mechanical equipment. Subsequently, the CAD software was popularized in various industries. It was extremely difficult to develop the technology! Although the Divine Dragon Software Company had developed the operating system and its technology was extremely powerful, it was almost impossible to develop a CAD software in such a short period of time. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care what Xie Jie was thinking at all. He had already imported the map into the software according to the system prompts. ¡°Importing topographic map mapping data¡­ Simulating terrain¡­ Obtaining current seismic data of the land mass, rainfall data over the years, wind data, lightning data¡­¡± Xie Jie nodded and thought, ¡°It looks like it. Earthquakes and winds affect the design strength of houses, rainfall data affects drainage design, and lightning data affect the number of lightning rods in houses.¡± ¡°Simulation of terrain successfully generated!¡± The original software interface was pitch-black. A square, uneven ground was formed in the void and floated in the void. It appeared like it was created out of nothing, and was very impressive to look at. The terrain of this land was exactly the same as the piece of land bought by Divine Dragon Software. ¡°The 3D modeling effect is not bad! But¡­ it¡¯s flashy but useless!¡± Xie Jie muttered in his heart. Architecture CAD basically did not have many requirements for 3D modeling. A 2D design was enough. When Lei Che and Huang Ting saw the scene displayed on the big screen, they were very shocked. A thought appeared in their hearts. ¡°Could it be that Li Chengqian wants to go into the gaming business next?¡± At this moment, a new notification appeared on the big screen. ¡°Please import geological survey data for the site.¡± The geological survey data was actually the situation underground. Whether there was stone or soil underground, whether there was a karst cave, and how much was the load endurance. These data formed the foundation of architectural design. Without this data, no matter how good a designer was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to design anything. ¡°I¡¯ll send you the survey data!¡± Xie Jie was very proactive this time. Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, he sent the survey data over. Li Chengqian imported the land survey data according to the system prompts. Then, under the piece of ground floating in the void became thicker and thicker. Mud, rock, underground rivers, and karst caves appeared one after another. ¡°This feeling is really wonderful. It feels like I¡¯m playing a sandbox game with God¡¯s vision.¡± Li Chengqian sighed. ¡°This 3D modeling ability is stronger than all the software I¡¯ve used before!¡± Xie Jie looked at the blueprint in his computer and the contempt that had appeared in his heart gradually disappeared. A notification appeared on the big screen. ¡°Land survey data imported.¡± ¡°Please choose the type of construction project. 1. Office 2. Residential 3. Commercial & Residential 4. Factory.¡± Li Chengqian randomly chose ¡®Office¡¯. ¡°Please enter the scale of construction.¡¯ On the software interface, three data that needed to be filled in appeared. The total built-up area, the number of buildings, and the number of floors. ¡°President Li, the planned total built-up area is 90,000 square meters. Two buildings, one building to have nine floors, and the other building to have 31 floors.¡± Xie Jie explained the plan. Li Chengqian took a look and filled in ¡®2¡¯ in the ¡®number of buildings¡¯ column. He also filled in the number of floors of the two buildings, ¡¯31¡¯ and ¡®9¡¯ floors. Then, with Xie Jie¡¯s help, he filled in many details into the software according to the system prompts. Thirty minutes later, most of the information was filled in. ¡°Relevant information has been filled in. Do you want to intelligently generate a building model? After the building model is produced, you can modify the relevant parameters and adjust the building model. You can also directly modify the model until you¡¯re satisfied.¡± Li Chengqian clicked ¡®confirm¡¯. On the big screen, the piece of ground that was floating in the void suddenly changed. The roads, plazas, greenery, and other facilities on the ground were planned. Then, two beautiful futuristic buildings appeared out of thin air and stood on this piece of land. The image on the big screen looked very realistic, just like a photo. ¡°This rendering effect is superb!¡± Lei Che couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. He didn¡¯t understand architecture CAD, but he knew game rendering. This rendering effect was definitely top-notch in the game. The untrained eye will focus on the form. The trained eye will focus on the substance. After the 3D model was produced, Xie Jie stared at the layout on the big screen and was extremely shocked. The distance between buildings, the width of the roads, and the fire safety lanes all meet the statutory requirements of the country. The design of the staircases, the emergency evacuation passages, and the windows are fully in compliance with the national statutory requirements. The lighting, ventilation, and other indicators that designers usually found the most challenging had all been optimally designed. The automatically generated floor plans only required minor adjustments and they could be used. It could be said that the 3D model provided by Li Chengqian could save him three months of floor plan design time. ¡°President Li, can you send this 3D model to me? If I draw the construction diagram according to this 3D model, I can save three months of work,¡± Xie Jie said excitedly. ¡°President Li, are you selling this automatic planning and rendering software to the public? How much is it?¡± Xie Jie looked at Li Chengqian with some yearning. For designers or design companies, the Intelligent CAD software was a formidable tool. As long as they fed it with the basic information, chose the design direction, purpose, and input the construction scale, the system could automatically generate a plan that complied with statutory requirements. The 3D model that was produced had achieved the optimal outcome for all parameters, and the layout was practicable and feasible. It was unbelievably advanced. The most advanced AUTO CAD overseas was like an abacus in front of a computer when compared to the Intelligent CAD. It was not a product of the same era at all. With such advanced design tools, the design efficiency could be greatly increased. The designs would also be safer and more scientific. ¡°Xie Jie, why do you still need to draw the plans? I¡¯m developing an Intelligent CAD software, not just a 3D modeling software! 3D modeling is just the first step.¡± ¡°Next, we need to adjust the unsatisfactory portions of the automatic 3D model generation module. After the adjustment is completed, the Intelligent CAD will automatically perform mechanical calculations¡­¡± ¡°The construction blueprint will automatically be generated in accordance with the results of computational mechanics. You don¡¯t need to draw the construction blueprint at all. Just let the computer do this kind of repetitive work. What you need to do is review the construction blueprint and see if there are any problems.¡¯ ¡°What? This is so advanced!¡± Xie Jie was taken aback by Li Chengqian¡¯s words. He looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, his face full of disbelief. The situation Li Chengqian described was simply like a fairy tale! this computer-assisted design? It had already risen to the level of automatic computer design! How was As far as he knew, the west had not invented such an advanced design software! Lei Che was also stunned by the Intelligent CAD¡¯s 3D modeling ability. He suddenly stood up from his seat and stared at the big screen. Lei Che had developed games before and had dabbled in 3D modeling. As far as he knew, there was no 3D modeling software that could produce 3D models at the speed that he had just witnessed on the big screen. This software was definitely nuclear weapon level when used in games. Chapter 154 - Chapter 154 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 1 Chapter 154 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 1 Half an hour later, Xie Jie walked out of the Divine Dragon Software Company dumbfounded. Li Chengqian had just demonstrated the usage of Intelligent CAD. It automatically generated a 3D model, adjusted the layout, and generated a virtual building that looked as realistic as a photo. It automatically computed the building structure and load endurance. It automatically generated a complete construction plan and a schedule of construction materials required. It automatically generated a work plan and schedule. Even a person who had never come into contact with construction projects could become a civil engineer as long as they had the implementation plan and followed the steps inside the plan. Moreover, the Intelligent CAD also had automatic furniture and appliance layout functions. It could generate a list of the equipment to be purchased with one click. Most importantly, the design speed was unbelievable. From the time he entered Li Chengqian¡¯s studio, it had only been less than an hour. A building that originally needed a ten-man team to design for a year was designed within that period of time! This efficiency was too terrifying! Xie Jie had already obtained the entire set of construction drawings. After a round of review, if there were no problems with the design, this set of construction plans could be implemented straightaway. ¡°The Intelligent CAD is too advanced! It¡¯s too terrifying! If the Intelligent CAD software is popularized, the civil engineers would lose their jobs.¡± In Li Chengqian¡¯s workspace, Lei Che was amazed. He said sincerely, ¡°President Li, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± ¡°I can tell that this Intelligent CAD software is not a design software at all. It¡¯s a comprehensive platform that covers design, 3D modeling, building materials, furniture, and appliances. It¡¯s a project implementation platform.¡± ¡°In my opinion, the Intelligent CAD software is like the operating system of a computer! It¡¯s the most important thing in the construction industry. If you master the Intelligent CAD software, you will master the future of the construction industry.¡± As long as an e-commerce function was added to the Intelligent CAD software, construction materials could be directly ordered from the platform. The same was true for home appliances. If the relevant construction companies and civil engineers came together on this platform, they could place orders from each other through the platform. This was simply a genius concept. Li Chengqian looked at Lei Che in surprise, he was impressed. ¡°As expected of someone who established the Silver Mountain Corporation and the Heyme Corporation, you have helicopter vision and sharp acumen for future development.¡± ¡°President Lei, the Intelligent CAD software has just been developed. There are still many areas that are not perfect. We need to add some functions!¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, the Intelligent CAD software is not only a construction CAD software. It will be a series of software in my plan. What I just demonstrated is only an application for the construction industry!¡± ¡°As for the Intelligent CAD software, there will be other versions¡­¡± Li Chengqian had an ambitious look on his face. In his plan, the Intelligent CAD software would have a mechanical version, military version, aerospace version, and other versions. There would also be a factory automation version, amongst other versions. ¡°President Li, your vision is admirable. I concede defeat in your hands.¡± Anyone else who had achieved so much at Li Chengqian¡¯s age would definitely become arrogant and pompous. It was impossible for them to be like Li Chengqian, still focused on constantly expanding and developing more advanced technology. Even if it was Lei Che, if he achieved so much like Li Chengqian at this age, he would definitely become proud and complacent. He would definitely start to enjoy life. ¡°President Lei, let¡¯s get down to business. The ad platform will continue to function based on your existing model. I won¡¯t touch the staffing for the time being, but the Divine Dragon Software Company doesn¡¯t support idlers. I will implement a new performance appraisal system¡­¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s face was calm. He didn¡¯t feel smug after hearing Lei Che¡¯s praises, instead, he went on to talk about the management of the ad platform. ¡°Okay!¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Lei Che¡¯s impression of Li Chengqian changed again. Originally, he felt that Li Chengqian was a genius in the technical field, and didn¡¯t have much talent in managing a company. However, Li Chengqian¡¯s arrangement was very appropriate, proving his management talent. ¡°President Li, there¡¯s another situation. How do you want to deal with it?¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has already been placed on the blacklist. Heyme Corporation is now collaborating with the Divine Dragon Software Company. It¡¯s inevitable that we can¡¯t buy related hardware like mobile phone CPUs!¡± ¡°Although we still have some inventory, we can only produce another 30 million phones at most.¡± ¡°After producing another 30 million phones, Heyme Corporation will face the same situation as Huawei Corporation. There will be no CPU chips or other materials to use.¡± ¡°We¡¯re going to use UniSoc¡¯s CPU next. Do you think it¡¯s feasible?¡± Lei Che sought Li Chengqian instructions. After collaborating with the Divine Dragon Software Company, the supply of CPUs from overseas had already been cut. Unisoc CPU was the only domestic product. The domestically produced CPU was also the only mobile phone CPU that Heyme could buy. However, the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company had always been using Unisoc CPUs, and it had long reached an agreement with Divine Dragon Software. If Heyme were to use Unisoc CPUs, it was equivalent to snatching the market from the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company. Such a major issue had to be approved by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, ¡°President Lei, there¡¯s no problem!¡± ¡°However, I suggest that you don¡¯t be anxious! The problem with the chips shouldn¡¯t take long to resolve!¡± Chapter 155 - Chapter 155 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 2 Chapter 155 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 2 ¡°I can promise that in at most half a year, the problem with the chips will definitely be resolved!¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. The problem with the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s chips was actually a problem with the photolithography machine. As long as they could obtain enough photolithography machines, the problem with the chips could be resolved quickly. In terms of the design of mobile phone chips, although they had all bought the core from AMR and had not completely achieved autonomy, Huawei and Unisoc¡¯s design capabilities were top-notch by world standards. The main problem was that after the advanced chips were designed, the chip factories wouldn¡¯t produce for you at all. As for the domestic chip factories, they were not well equipped enough and didn¡¯t have the ability to produce them. Once Li Chengqian has enrolled in university, he could take on the University Student profession. Once he took on the University Student profession, he could buy knowledge and other related items from the Profession mall. Even the more advanced chip production equipment technology could be bought from the Profession mall, not to mention the EUV photolithography machine technology. Even if he bought the technology through the Profession mall, he would not be able to create the real thing in a short period of time. Li Chengqian had yet another move. That was the Manufacturing Principles skill of the Worker profession! As long as he could come into contact with the actual lithography machine, no matter how advanced it was, as long as he had enough Stamina, after analyzing it, he could quickly replicate one through the Expedited Processing skill of the Worker profession. ¡°Alright, President Li!¡± Lei Che nodded, but his eyes were filled with worry. The problem with the chips was not that easy to solve. If it was, it would have been solved long ago. Li Chengqian was indeed amazing in software development, like a god, but chip production was another field. However, since Li Chengqian had already said so, it was not good for him to refute what he said. Lei Che left worriedly. Soon, only Li Chengqian was left in the studio. ¡°Bai Ze¡¯s ability is not bad!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s face was filled with joy. ¡°The Intelligent CAD he developed is very good!¡± ¡°In the future, software development work can be left to Bai Ze without worry.¡± ¡°Bai Ze, what you need to do next is firstly, perfect the Divine Dragon Compiler and develop a dedicated Divine Dragon programming software based on the Divine Dragon Compiler. Secondly, develop advanced operating systems for equipment such as televisions and watches based on the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Thirdly, perfect the Intelligent CAD software, develop the mechanical version, the military version, the factory automation version. Especially the factory automation version, you must get it done for me!¡± The factory automation version was Li Chengqian¡¯s bold idea. Through software, he could design an automated factory that operated and produced autonomously. ¡°Fourthly, the Divine Dragon System¡¯s special database software with higher functionalities¡­¡± Li Chengqian handed all the tasks he could think of to Bai Ze. Anyway, Bai Ze was an artificial intelligence and had no feelings. It was a waste for him to be idle. ¡°Tasks accepted. After preliminary calculations, it will take 365 days to complete the above-mentioned tasks. I suggest that the Master purchase better hardware so that the development time can be significantly shortened ¡­¡± ¡°Get to work.¡± Li Chengqian acted as if he didn¡¯t hear him. He strode out of the studio, his heart burning as he rushed in the direction of the small desert. Now that Bai Ze was working for him, there was no need for him to stay in the studio. ¡°The land in the small desert has been taken care of, and a set of automated agricultural machinery has been bought.¡± ¡°All the prerequisites for becoming a Farm Owner have been fulfilled.¡± ¡°Today, I can take on the Farm Owner profession.¡± ¡°After I take on the Farm Owner profession, I will have the means to enhance my three-dimensional attributes. After my three-dimensional attributes have been enhanced, I can use the Manufacturing Principles skill at will! By that time, I¡¯ll replicate hundreds of photolithography machines. I don¡¯t believe that the chip problem can¡¯t be solved.¡± [Farmer profession Advancement: Farm Owner] [Farm Owner Advancement Requirement 1: Attain Master level for all skills under the Farmer profession (Completed).] [Farm Owner Advancement Requirement 2: Attain level 3 in Agricultural Management (Completed).] [Farm Owner Advancement Requirement 3: Consume 5,000 experience value points (Completed).] [Farm Owner Advancement Requirement 4: Obtain land use rights for more than 100 acres of land (Completed).] [Farm Owner Advancement Requirement 5: Own a full set of farm equipment for turning the land, sowing seeds, sprinkling water and harvesting. (Completed).] [5,000 experience value points consumed, Farm Owner profession upgraded to level o (0/100,000).] ¡°Upgrade!¡± [100,000 experience value points consumed, Farm Owner profession upgraded to level 1 (0/200,000), 3 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have obtained Skill: Cultivation (Novice 0/100,000).] [Cultivation: Plants can be cultivated in a targeted manner. The success rate of cultivation is one in a thousand.] ¡°Divine skill!¡± The introduction of the Skill was very simple, but Li Chengqian was very excited. What was targeted cultivation? Using ordinary rice, through the Cultivation skill, a rice crop that could adapt to various environments could be cultivated. For example, high-yielding rice, cold-resistant rice, drought-resistant rice, drought-resistant rice that could be planted in the desert, rice that could be planted in saline land, and so on. With the Cultivation skill, Li Chengqian could cultivate these plants that did not exist in the original world. ¡°With the Cultivation skill, it will be very easy to manage the small desert!¡± Li Chengqian was filled with confidence. Plants cultivated through targeted cultivation could also be planted by ordinary people and grow like normal plants. Chapter 156 - Chapter 156 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 3 Chapter 156 Taking on the Farm Owner Profession 3 ¡°Continue upgrading!¡± [500,000 experience value points consumed, Farm Owner profession upgraded to level 3 (0/400,000), 2.5 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have obtained Skill: Automatic Farm (Novice 0/300,000).] [Automatic Farm: With AI, you can use AI to control the agricultural machinery. After deducting your Stamina Points, you can automatically apply the Farmer profession skills and automatically start planting a crop. You can also use the conventional model to plant a farm. The size is limited to 100 acres.] ¡°Too awesome!¡± In the Master of All Professions game, the Automatic Farm skill was inconspicuous. However, in the real world, the effect of the Automatic Farm skill could be said to be deadly formidable. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that under normal circumstances, we can only use the normal mode of the automatic farm.¡± It was precisely because the automatic farm skill was so formidable that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to use it at all. The consequences would be unimaginable if he were to be found out. ¡°Continue upgrading!¡± [900,000 experience value points consumed, Farm Owner profession upgraded to level 5 (0/600,000), 1.6 million experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [You have obtained Skill: Rare Treasure (Novie 0/500,000).] [Rare Treasure: During the planting process on your farm, there is a very small chance (1 in 100,000) of producing a plant-type treasure. The Rare Treasure skill is special and extremely precious.] ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Seeing the Rare Treasure skill, Li Chengqian became excited. The probability of rare treasures being produced was very small, but the effects of rare treasures were unbelievably strong. Even if it was the most ordinary treasure, one¡¯s three-dimensional attributes could be enhanced after consuming it! There were also some rare treasures that could instantly replenish millions of Stamina Stats. There were also some rare treasures that could resuscitate the dead and heal the injured. Li Chengqian remembered that in the game in his previous life, the least powerful treasure was called Pearl Rice. One grain could increase his Stamina Stats by 10,000 points! Rare Treasure skill was the skill that Li Chengqian needed the most at the moment! This was because the consumption of Stamina was a huge problem if he wanted to use the Manufacturing Principles skill. Without tens of thousands of Stamina Stats, Li Chengqian was not qualified to use the Manufacturing Principles skill. After solving the problem of his physical limit, he only needed to solve the problem of the source of his physical strength next. Then, Li Chengqian could use the Manufacturing Principles skill without any hesitation. ¡°Upgrade!¡± After obtaining the Rare Treasure skill, Li Chengqian¡¯s will clicked to upgrade without hesitation! [1.1 million experience value points consumed, Rare Treasure skill upgraded to Proficient level (0/700,000), 500,000 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] [Rare Treasure (Proficient 0/700,000): During the planting process on your farm, there is a small probability (1 in 10,000) of producing a plant-type rare treasure. The rare treasure has a special effect and is extremely precious.] After the Rare Treasure skill was upgraded, the probability of obtaining Rare Treasures increased tenfold. The location where he had used the Skill the last time was already covered in yellow sand. Li Chengqian sized up his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he cautiously released his Skill on the riverbank. ¡°Reclaim!¡± A hundred units of land were reclaimed. ¡°Plant!¡± Medicinal wolfberries were directly planted by the Skill. In an instant, tender green seedlings appeared from the ground, and the seedlings instantly grew. After watering it, the medicinal wolfberries were ripe. ¡°Harvest!¡± The green instantly disappeared, and a pile of ripe medicinal wolfberries was piled in front of Li Chengqian. [Medicinal wolfberries: 214 catties.] [Medical wolfberry seeds: 3,245 seeds] [You have received 20,000 experience value points. You have 520,000 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Continue. I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t plant Rare Treasures today!¡± Chapter 157 - Chapter 157 Level 1 Rare Treasure, Fire Wolfberry Chapter 157 Level 1 Rare Treasure, Fire Wolfberry There was no one in the small desert at all. Li Chengqian went all out using his Skills. Green crops kept appearing, and then he used his skill to harvest them. Soon, the sky darkened. In front of Li Chengqian, there was already a pile of wolfberries that looked like a small hill. Moreover, the rare treasure that Li Chengqian had been looking forward to for a long time didn¡¯t appear at all. The probability of producing it was so low that it was infuriating. Li Chengqian was indignant. He grabbed a handful of medicinal wolfberries and chewed and swallowed them before continuing to use his Skills. ¡°Plant!¡± ¡°Harvest!¡± ¡°Eh¡­ What is this?¡± Originally, Li Chengqian was about to use his Skill again, but the translucent notification that appeared in front of him attracted his attention. [You have consumed 1 Stamina Point and used the Harvest skill.] [You have obtained medicinal wolfberries: 214 catties.] [You have obtained medicinal wolfberry seeds: 3,215 seeds] [You have obtained Level 1 Rare Treasure: Fire Wolfberry 10 pieces. Effect: Each Fire Wolfberry can permanently increase Stamina Stats by 1,000 points.] [You have received 20,000 experience value points. You have 2,830,000 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.] ¡°Rare treasure!¡± Li Chengqian revealed an ecstatic expression. He had been here since noon and had begun to use the Planting skill fervently. It was already late afternoon, and this was the first time he had obtained a rare treasure. On the ground, 10 Fire Wolfberries lay quietly. Each of them was the size of a thumb and looked like burning flames. They looked completely different from wolfberries. They were simply like works of art. Although it was only the lowest Level 1 rare treasure, the effect was unbelievably good. One pill could permanently increase 1,000 Stamina points. After eating 10 Fire Wolfberries, Li Chengqian¡¯s stamina would increase by 10,000 points. Although 10,000 Stamina points could not resolve the photolithography machine, he was very close to analyzing the CPU chip of a mobile phone. As long as this happened 20 more times, he would be able to obtain the Stamina points needed to analyze the CPU chip of a mobile phone. ¡°Eat!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He picked up the Fire Wolfberries, dusted off the yellow sand on them, and placed them into his mouth one by one. The Fire Wolfberries tasted very strange. They were like balls of jelly that melted in his mouth. The Fire Wolfberries had already entered his stomach before Li Chengqian could taste anything. After the Fire Wolfberries landed in his stomach, Li Chengqian felt an endless strength in his body. He felt that even if a cow was in front of him, he could kill it with a punch. [You have consumed the rare Fire Wolfberries. Your Stamina has increased by 1,000. Your current Stamina has increased to 1,019 points.] [Strengthening skill has taken effect. Your Stamina Stats have increased by 60%.] [Your Stamina has increased to 1,630 points.] The translucent notification appeared in front of Li Chengqian almost at the same time. The remaining nine Fire Wolfberries quickly entered Li Chengqian¡¯s stomach. His Stamina Stats had also increased to 16,030 points! ¡°Awesome!¡± Li Chengqian felt refreshed and his entire body felt comfortable. The strength in his body was endless, and his energy was at its peak. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze landed on the small mountain of wolfberries. Harvest skill was used on the mountain of wolfberries. The Harvest skill could harvest mature crops and turn parts that did not belong to crops into fertilizer to replenish the fertility of the land. The skill used for harvesting mature crops was a formidable one. After the Farmer profession was upgraded to the Farm Owner profession, the effect of the Harvest skill was further strengthened and even more powerful. Apart from its original functions, the Harvest skill could also directly transform the wolfberries harvested into fertilizer and fuse them into the soil to increase the fertility of the soil. This was also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian dared to use the Farmer profession skills freely. If he didn¡¯t have the Harvest skill, where would he keep the small mountain of wolfberries? Then, a large pile of wolfberries would definitely be discovered. How would he explain it then? That would be too dangerous. The sky was already dark, but Li Chengqian had no intention of leaving. Li Chengqian took out a bag of Buckthorn seeds that he had prepared way in advance. ¡°Plant!¡± Green Buckthorn seedlings emerged from the ground and instantly grew to the height of a person. In the blink of an eye, densely packed small flowers appeared on the Buckthorn tree. Green bean-sized Buckthorn fruits covered the entire Buckthorn tree. [The Buckthorn tree is currently dehydrated. Please water it!] Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care about the status he displayed on the Buckthorn tree. Instead, used the Farm Owner profession skill on the Buckthorn tree and cultivated it. ¡°Targeted cultivation! The direction is¡­ rapid growth!¡± It was impossible to use the skills to plant Buckthorn trees all over the small desert. If he had really dared to do so, he would be found out by the satellites in the sky, even if there were no cameras or people around. It would definitely detect something abnormal. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have a death wish. Therefore, be it the Farmer profession or the Farm Owner profession, they could at most be used for seed cultivation, rare treasure cultivation, and medicinal cultivation. ¡°Targeted cultivation! The direction is¡­ Taste!¡± Although the Buckthorn fruit was rich in vitamins, its taste was very sour. It was not delicious at all when eaten directly. By using the Targeted Cultivation skill, the taste of the Buckthorn fruit would be improved and would become delicious. In the future, the Buckthorn fruit produced here would become a special product that would bring good economic value. ¡°Targeted cultivation! The direction is¡­ Fruit size!¡± [Targeted Cultivation skill successfully released! Estimated cultivation time: 1 hour!] [The Buckthorn tree is currently dehydrated. Please water it!] When Li Chengqian saw this, he picked up a bucket and went to the river to get water. ¡°When I return to the company, I¡¯ll immediately use the Intelligent CAD to design an irrigation system for a small desert. It is backbreaking work to have to water it manually.¡± At this moment, at Lianzhou Fushikang Company, the brainwave receiver OEM. Director Wu of Lianzhou Fushikang Company frowned as he looked at a notice from the head office. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company has already been placed on the sanctions list. From today onwards, Fushikang Company is banned from producing any equipment for the Divine Dragon Software Company, nor can they collaborate with the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Baidu, Huawei, Heyme and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company have violated the sanctions and have collaborated with the Divine Dragon Software Company. Fushikang Company can¡¯t produce any equipment for them. After issuing a notice to Baidu and the other companies, Fushikang Company can only resume the equipment production if Baidu and the other companies terminate their collaboration with the Divine Dragon Software Company, in accordance with the requirements.¡± After being placed on the sanctions list, all companies using western technology could not cooperate with the Divine Dragon Software Company. All companies that cooperated with the Divine Dragon Software Company would be sanctioned at the same time. Many of Fushikang¡¯s equipment and production control systems come from the west. The automated PLC was an all-western product. ¡°Xiaoshu, check how many brainwave receivers we have produced for the Divine Dragon Software Company so far?¡± Director Wu asked. ¡°Director, the Divine Dragon Software Company has commissioned us to produce a total of 200,000 sets of brainwave receivers. Currently, we have produced a total of 20,000 sets! There are still 180,000 sets to be produced.¡± Xiaoshu was the Director¡¯s assistant. He quickly updated him on the production data. ¡°Help me check the order status of Huawei, Baidu and Heyme.¡± Director Wu made some mental calculations. The manufacturing price of the brainwave receivers was 100 yuan per set. There were 180,000 sets that had not been manufactured, and they would thus stand to lose 1.8 million yuan. To Fushikang, this was loose change. ¡°Baidu doesn¡¯t have any orders with us.¡± ¡°Huawei doesn¡¯t have orders.¡± ¡°We still have a contract with Heyme to produce 80 million pieces of equipment. The production cost of each equipment is 90 yuan. Should the contract be terminated, we stand to lose 7.2 billion yuan!¡± Xiaoshu¡¯s voice trembled. This amount of 7.2 billion yuan was almost a third of their total income. If it was cut off, the company would lose a lot of money. ¡°Alright, I understand! I¡¯ll personally call Lei Che and explain the situation. I¡¯ll ask him to immediately terminate his cooperation with the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Director Wu¡¯s face was grim. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is like an ant in front of the powerful west. They can be crushed easily. It¡¯s not wise to cooperate with such a company that¡¯s destined to disappear!¡± ¡°In the face of western sanctions, no company can survive. It¡¯s the same for the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Manager Wu looked certain. Chapter 158 - Chapter 158 Sanction Begins, Production Restricted Chapter 158 Sanction Begins, Production Restricted ¡°Boss, the situation now is very serious. The company is in a very dangerous situation.¡± Huang Ting¡¯s tone was unusually serious. Currently, all OEM factories have refused to produce the brainwave receivers. Further, 180,000 brainwave receivers have to be delivered to users soon. Failure to deliver the goods on time could result in a threefold compensation. Nowadays, brainwave receivers have become the main source of income for the Divine Dragon Software Company. Once the brainwave receivers couldn¡¯t be produced, the consequences for Divine Dragon Software would be catastrophic. This was because other than the brainwave receivers, the Divine Dragon Software Company only had three other products left. The first was the Divine Dragon System. However, the Divine Dragon System was used by individuals for free. Although it had huge potential for future development, it could not contribute income to Divine Dragon Software Company now. The second was the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. However, the total income of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software was less than 100 million yuan. It was not much help to the crisis that the Divine Dragon Software Company was currently facing. The third was the authorization fee for the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. However, the amount of authorization fee to be earned was tied to the installation quantity. The three mobile phone manufacturers that were currently working with Li Chengqian had already stopped the production of their mobile phones because of their involvement with Divine Dragon Software. All the sources of income had been strategically sealed off by the other party! ¡°I received a call from Director Wu earlier. They have stopped production of our brainwave receivers! Currently, only 20,000 brainwave receivers have been produced! We are still 180,000 units short of fulfilling the order.¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t deliver the goods within the specified time, according to the sales contract, our company will pay three times the compensation! We need to compensate 5.4 billion yuan!¡± Huang Ting kept his voice low. ¡°President Huang, contact Baidu and Heyme first and ask the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to help find a new factory!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s calm voice came from the phone. There were many OEM factories in the country. If Director Wu refused to work with him, he could still find other factories to help. ¡°President Li, I¡¯ve already contacted them. No one would accept our orders. Even if we double the production cost, no one will help us produce it,¡± Huang Ting said with a bitter smile. Materials could not be bought! There were raw materials, and no factory to produce them. The products couldn¡¯t be sold! Facing these three situations, it was very difficult for any company to survive. There was no need to be defeated, they would crumble on their own. ¡°They have stopped production work for any company that is collaborating with us, including Heyme! Director Wu of the OEM factory said that unless Heyme ends its collaboration with Divine Dragon Software, production of Heyme phones will stop indefinitely.¡± The oppression of the Divine Dragon Software Company was very intense and unprecedented. The Divine Dragon Software Company had to be razed to the ground at all costs! This fervent attitude frightened many people. The companies that had wanted to explore collaborations with Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to do so after seeing how intense the backlash was! ¡°President Huang, I understand the situation. I will think of a way.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was still calm. He was not discouraged by the difficulties he encountered. After ending the call, Li Chengqian opened Weibo. The number one trending topic on Weibo was the Divine Dragon Software Company! ¡°Divine Dragon Software has stepped on the core interests of the competitors. There are only two ways out for the Company. It¡¯s¡­¡± Li Chengqian clicked on the article with the highest readership and started reading. The article was very well written. The reason for the attack on Divine Dragon Software was very clear. Firstly, the operating system was a core interest overseas, and Divine Dragon Software Company had stepped on their core interest! Control over the operating system would mean a control over the entire software industry. This was a market worth trillions of dollars a year. It has been the territory of the overseas powers and no one was allowed to touch it. Whoever dared to touch their territory would be killed! Secondly, brainwave coding technology was a disruptive innovation. Whoever mastered this technology would effectively have a control over the future of the software industry. After Divine Dragon Software started selling the brainwave receivers, software technology in the country would definitely grow at an exponential speed. Furthermore, the foreign countries were still using ancient keyboard input methods, so their efficiency was very low. It was very likely that the Divine Dragon Country would surpass them in software technology within an extremely short period of time. They wouldn¡¯t be able to accept this! The article analyzed the reasons and pointed out a solution for Divine Dragon Software. The first was to open up financing and integrate overseas. As long as Divine Dragon Software became an open company that accepted overseas funding, all the current problems would be solved. The second was that Li Chengqian should sell the company to the country. With the country¡¯s support, at least the Divine Dragon Software Company wouldn¡¯t go bankrupt. After that, Li Chengqian read some more articles. Everyone thought that Divine Dragon Software Company would suffer a huge blow in this wave of restrictions, or even go bankrupt. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°When they saw that we had advanced technology, they suppressed us like crazy.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon will never give in!¡± ¡°Can someone tell me how to donate to the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± ¡°F*ck it.¡± ¡°Please remember one thing. Today, it¡¯s the Divine Dragon Software Company. Tomorrow, it can really be you or any company!¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m very angry, based on the current situation, the best way forward for the Divine Dragon Software Company is to cooperate with the country!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software, don¡¯t hesitate. Only the country can protect you!¡± ¡°Someone has an agenda against Divine Dragon Software. As long as the Divine Dragon Software Company can¡¯t deliver the brainwave receivers on time, they will launch a huge claim against it.¡± ¡°I heard that the OEM factories have stopped producing the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s brainwave receivers. They have also stopped production for all the companies that with the Divine Dragon are collaborating Software Company.¡± The discussion on the internet was very intense. Those who saw the news knew that the Divine Dragon Software Company was in a precarious position. If the brainwave receivers couldn¡¯t be delivered in time, the funds accumulated by the Divine Dragon Software Company would be exhausted. After Li Chengqian looked at it for a while, his expression was calm as he closed the webpage. ¡°Do you really think that you can seal my path like this?¡± also ¡°Director Wu¡¯s factory refuses to produce brainwave receivers! The other factories refuse to help with the production. Then¡­ I¡¯ll produce it myself!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible for you to restrain me! It¡¯s even more impossible for you to control me!¡± ¡°The torrent of technology is invincible! Whoever stands in front of it will be crushed by it!¡± The last method was for Li Chengqian to use his skills. He could use the Manufacturing Principles skill to analyze the brainwave receiver and then use the Expedited Processing skill to replicate it. However, this wasn¡¯t a long-term solution. It couldn¡¯t be used routinely and could only be used in emergencies. The second method was to build his own automated factory and fully automate the production of brainwave receivers. As long as he established his own project, he would no longer be held ransom by the factories. The crisis that happened today would never happen again. ¡°Coincidentally, I¡¯ll take this opportunity to build the production factory of Divine Dragon Software!¡± Li Chengqian had a plan in mind. ¡°Bai Ze, develop the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software. Make this task your top priority!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was cold like the arctic wind. The automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD is to intelligently design automated production lines according to production requirements. After the design of the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD was completed, he only needed to buy the corresponding equipment according to the list given by the software and install it according to the requirements of the design. Then, he could start the automated manufacturing. As long as the automated factory version of Intelligent CAD software was developed, the rest would be much easier. ¡°Master, the software development tasks have been adjusted. The automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software has been adjusted to the first priority in the tasks list.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice came from the computer. ¡°Calculating the time taken to develop the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software.¡± ¡°It will take 36 hours to develop the automated factory version of Intelligent CAD software.¡± Bai Ze estimated a considerable period of time was needed. ¡°Too slow!¡± Li Chengqian was a little dissatisfied with this speed. If it was any other time, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t be bothered about the issue of time. After all, this speed compared to normal development speed was already the speed of light. Using normal software development methods, it took only three years to develop an automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software. But now, time was of the essence to Li Chengqian. Every additional day was a huge risk for the Divine Dragon Software Company. Moreover, in order to build the production capacity of the Divine Dragon Software Company, other than designing software, Li Chengqian still had a lot of things to do. He also needed to purchase or build factories, purchase and install production equipment, develop related control systems, and so on. These tasks will take time to complete. Chapter 159 - Chapter 159 Response Plan, Reaction of All Parties Chapter 159 Response Plan, Reaction of All Parties The only way to increase Bai Ze¡¯s computing power in a short period of time was through a supercomputer. In the end, Li Chengqian called Academician Lin Qu from the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, this is what¡¯s going on¡­¡± After Academician Lin Qu found out that Li Chengqian wanted to borrow a supercomputer, he didn¡¯t have to think twice, he gave his greatest support straightaway. ¡°Li Chengqian, there¡¯s no problem lending you the Institute¡¯s supercomputer. We support your work fully!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already allocated to you half of the computing power of the supercomputer. It should be enough for your use!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, please tell me. Other than the weather forecast, I¡¯ll temporarily stop all the other projects, so that you can use the resources first.¡± ¡°By the way, I saw the west¡¯s attack on the Divine Dragon Software. You don¡¯t have to worry too much! The country will back you up! This time, as with the past, the west is a paper tiger again. The Divine Dragon Software is too advanced. They¡¯re terrified now!¡± ¡°I know exactly what they¡¯re after.¡± ¡°They want to use this despicable method to kill the creativity and curtail the innovation of the Divine Dragon Software so that we can never surpass them. They¡¯re simply dreaming if they want us to be forever at their mercy when it comes to technology!¡± After scolding the western, he comforted Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, hold on! Don¡¯t be frightened by the paper tigers. We¡¯ve been supporting you from behind.¡± After ending the call, Li Chengqian immediately connected Bai Ze to the supercomputer of the Academy of Sciences. ¡°Based on calculations, the hardware can support 36% performance release. The estimated time to develop the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software is reduced to one hour.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s computing power increased from 1% to 36%, an increase of 36 times! Hearing that only an hour of development time was required, Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Develop with all your might! After completing the development of the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software, continue to carry out the planned tasks as previously assigned,¡± Li Chengqian ordered Bai Ze. After the automatic factory version of the Intelligent CAD software was developed, the automated factory could take shape at an extremely fast speed. As long as the automated factory started operating, a portion of the west¡¯s attack on Divine Dragon software would be cracked. ¡°If the automated factory can¡¯t make it in time¡­ I can only use the Expedited Processing skill!¡± Li Chengqian pondered. The Expedited Processing skill was indeed very fast, but he needed to keep it absolutely confidential. He couldn¡¯t let anyone know how the brainwave receivers were produced. This was the last resort, and could only be used in an emergency! As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t use it. At the headquarters of Heyme Corporation, the administrative director, Li Na, looked at Lei Che with a serious expression. In one night, she received countless news, and every piece of news was bad news. All the news pointed in one direction, to the collaboration with the Divine Dragon Software Company! ¡°President Lei, the OEM factory has sent us a letter requesting us to immediately terminate our partnership with Divine Dragon Software. They are stopping all production of Heyme mobile phones until we have acceded to their request!¡± ¡°MTK, Qualcomm, Four Star, Hercules, Sony, Canon, and other foreign companies have all sent us letters asking us to stop working with Divine Dragon Software. If we give in to their demand, they won¡¯t ship us the mobile phone materials that we ordered.¡± ¡°The heads of our regional offices in the west, in the Inca, and in Europe have already spoken to me on the phone. The company¡¯s assets have been frozen locally. The local government is conducting a review of our offices on the grounds that the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System has stolen military secrets. We are unable to carry out normal business activities.¡± ¡°President Lei, the Divine Dragon Software has been included in the sanctions list! It¡¯s not a sanctions list by western companies, but a sanctions list by western countries!¡± ¡°Furthermore, after inquiring from many sources, I heard that this is an unprecedented attack. The entire western has already unified their stand. They are out to destroy Divine Dragon Software at all costs! Even if that means hurting us along the way!¡± ¡°It might not be appropriate for us to work with the Divine Dragon Software Company now. There¡¯s no need for us to be buried with them.¡± ¡°In any case, our collaboration with the Divine Dragon Software Company is only a Memorandum of Understanding. It is not legally binding.¡± ¡°For the safety of Heyme, I suggest that we immediately stop all collaboration with Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be too late for us to collaborate with them again after the coast is clear.¡± Li Na¡¯s voice was extremely serious. If the entire west attacked Divine Dragon Software, it would definitely perish. With the determination of the west, they could even destroy a country, let alone a small company such as the Divine Dragon Software Company. Lei Che listened quietly to Li Na¡¯s report with a grim expression. ¡°Li Na, I asked you to find out if any OEM factory is willing to work with Divine Dragon Software and Heyme. Do you have any updates?¡± Yutian didn¡¯t respond to Li Na¡¯s question. Instead, he asked about the OEM factories. ¡°I did, but there¡¯s no news for the time being!¡± ¡°Currently, only Biatti¡¯s OEM factory is willing to work for us. However, they are currently undergoing PLC modifications for domestic production. After the modifications are completed, they can reduce their reliance on western technology to less than 5%. There will not be any restrictions, but Biatti¡¯s factory will take three months to complete the modifications,¡± Li Na reported with a solemn expression. Lei Che shook his head. Heyme could wait three months, but Divine Dragon Software couldn¡¯t. ¡°Continue to inquire about the OEM factories. It doesn¡¯t matter if the price is a little higher, but they have to be able to start production immediately. They have to be able to immediately produce the brainwave receivers.¡± ¡°Second, contact OPPO and Vivo, ask if they¡¯re willing to sell us some of their remaining materials.¡± After thinking about it, Lei Che followed Li Chengqian¡¯s previous suggestion, and started making plans systematically. ¡°President Lei, the key problem is the collaboration with the Divine Dragon Software Company,¡± Li Na reminded him. ¡°Before Divine Dragon Software goes bankrupt, our collaboration with them will not end!¡± Lei Che¡¯s tone was very firm. ¡°Li Na, don¡¯t ever mention the termination of collaboration with the Divine Dragon Software Company in the future. Don¡¯t let Li Chengqian hear this either. He¡¯s very petty and vengeful.¡± Then, his tone became very serious. He had personally experienced Li Chengqian¡¯s wrath. ¡°Li Na, you don¡¯t understand brainwave coding technology. This is disruptive technology. This technology will change people¡¯s habits of using computers and redefine computers. It¡¯s just like the shift from the DOS system to Windows back then.¡± ¡°It¡¯s invincible!¡± ¡°As long as the Divine Dragon Software Company, which has mastered this technology, can survive this crisis, it will definitely be the next Windows. It will even be stronger than Windows.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to be a fair weather friend, and hard to be a foul weather one!¡± ¡°I want to take a gamble. I want to be the one who supported him when he is down and out!¡± ¡°One more thing, I¡¯m a citizen of the Divine Dragon Country! I may love money, but I love my country more!¡± ¡°We must think of a way to help Divine Dragon Software tide through this crisis! As long as Divine Dragon Software tides through this crisis, with Li Chengqian¡¯s character, he won¡¯t let us suffer a loss,¡± Lei Che said solemnly. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll go now.¡± Li Na took a hard look at Lei Che. His words, ¡®I may love money, but I love my country more!¡¯ moved her. This made her recognize the other side of the Lei Che. At Huawei, Wang Renfei was also making arrangements. His decision was exactly the same as Lei Che¡¯s. As long as Divine Dragon Software didn¡¯t close down, he would support it to the end! As for He Hongyan of Baidu, he was in the same boat as Li Chengqian. The National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company was a state-owned company. It would naturally be on Li Chengqian¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s see what else you can do this time.¡± However, OPPO and Vivo were gloating. Their lives haven¡¯t been easy recently. Their phones basically weren¡¯t selling at all, as they were defeated by the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone that had the Divine Dragon System installed. After the west took action, even the production of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company¡¯s mobile phones were stopped because of their collaboration with Divine Dragon Software! The phones that were installed with the Divine Dragon System were cost-effective and highly functional, but they were completely out of stock in the market! Users who needed a new phone or who were in urgent need could only buy mobile phones from OPPO and Vivo. In the foreseeable future, the sales of OPPO and Vivo mobile phones would definitely increase greatly. Chapter 160 - Chapter 160 Using Manufacturing Principles and Expedited Processing Skills Chapter 160 Using Manufacturing Principles and Expedited Processing Skills Overseas, at the Windows headquarters, brainwave receivers that cost 100,000 yuan were delivered by air overnight. There were two sets. Windows CEO Satia and the engineers were all excited when they saw the brainwave receivers. The employees of Windows in the Divine Dragon Country had already carried out a comprehensive test of the brainwave receivers. Once again, brainwave receivers have been found to be a revolutionary cutting edge technology. ¡°As long as we can obtain brainwave coding technology from these two sets of equipment, Windows will continue to lead the world for a hundred years.¡± Soon, the relevant equipment was removed from the packaging and transported to Windows¡¯ state-of-the-art hardware laboratory. After the first computer was installed, a large number of cables were connected to the main computer, and a large number of instruments in the laboratory was set to work. After all the work was done, Satia directed for the power to be turned on. The majestic divine dragon flashed and entered the system desktop. A pop-up window popped up on the system desktop. [Network connection has not been detected. Please connect to the network immediately after the system is switched off. If you are not able to connect to the network the next time you power up, the system will activate the self-destruct program.] [3¡­] [2¡­] [1¡­] The system desktop suddenly went black. Everyone was astonished! ¡°Oh, sh*t! This damned oriental company actually needed verification?¡± Satia cursed under his breath. ¡°The Divine Dragon System installed in this machine is completely different from the Windows and the Linux systems. Our equipment can¡¯t obtain useful information.¡± During the process of booting up just now, the equipment connected to the computer mainframe obtained a large amount of data. After the scientists analyzed the data, they realized that it was all undoubtedly garbage code. ¡°What should we do next?¡± Satia asked anxiously. ¡°Connect the equipment to the network, then use the brainwave receiver to enter the data and record the changes in the equipment¡¯s data during the recording process¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± Satia agreed with the scientist¡¯s suggestion. After connecting to the internet, they turned on the computer. After entering the desktop, no pop-up window appeared. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on their faces. The hacking officially began. A large number of wires were connected to the brainwave receiver¡¯s ports. The data produced by the brainwave receiver was transmitted to the other computers at the same time. A document was opened. The scientist was about to start using the EEG receiver to input data and record the signals of the EEG receiver and the data changes in the computer during the data input process. A huge red exclamation mark appeared on the desktop. [It has been detected that this equipment has left the borders of the Divine Dragon Country without authorization!] [Self-destruct sequence implemented successfully!] [Data clearing successful¡­] [Equipment self-destruct activated¡­] ¡°Sizzle¡­¡± A string of electric sparks emerged from the brainwave receiver. At the same time, a burnt smell filled the air. ¡°Oh¡­ F*ck¡­¡± A scream was heard. The scientist who was wearing the brainwave receiver recoiled from the electrocution. The other equipment connected to the brainwave receiver was also damaged. In a series of electric sparks, the advanced hardware in this hardware laboratory was instantly destroyed by a powerful electric current. All the hardware in the laboratory, which cost a fortune to build, were destroyed. Satia¡¯s face instantly turned ashen. His expression was extremely ugly, and his heart was filled with rage. ¡°Sh*t, f*ck!¡± Satia cursed. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian, you will pay for your actions.¡± Satia was furious and wished he could tear Li Chengqian into pieces. ¡°CEO, what should we do now?¡± ¡°Remove the intact equipment and follow the device model on the brainwave receiver. We¡¯ll buy the exact same device and assembly it ourselves to experiment!¡± Satia¡¯s voice was filled with anger. ¡°Remove the computer that was installed with the Divine Dragon System and copy the contents of the hard disk for analysis.¡± ¡°If the contents of the hard drive are encrypted, find a supercomputer and hack the encrypted content!¡± ¡°Our supercomputer is at the forefront of computing power. It¡¯s the most advanced supercomputer in the world. It can definitely hack the brainwave coding!¡± Satia was extremely confident. Meanwhile, Google and Apple received the brainwave receivers almost at the same time. Then, they began their experiments separately. The results were not good! All the equipment used to obtain data had been destroyed by the brainwave receivers. In the end, they could only dismantle the hard disk like what Windows did. They wanted to directly obtain the data on the hard disk and analyze the brainwave coding technology. On the other hand, after borrowing the supercomputer from the Academy of Sciences, the AI, Bai Ze, had already designed the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software. The use interface of the automated factory version of the Intelligent CAD software was similar to the building version of the Intelligent CAD. However, the first requirement of the construction version was to import the topographic map and the boundary map, but the first requirement of the automated factory version was the blueprint of the product that needed to be produced. Specific parameters for the production of the product were required. Li Chengqian was inputting the dimensional parameters of the brainwave receiver, the relevant small parts that needed to be purchased, and the process that needed to be used in the production process into the automated factory version of the CAD software. ¡°The design output is 100,000 brainwave receivers per day!¡± ¡°The production line¡¯s equipment is all domestically produced.¡± ¡°The factory and production line construction requirements are the fastest!¡± After confirming all the parameters, Li Chengqian clicked ¡®confirm¡¯. Immediately, a notification appeared on the automated factory version of the CAD software. [Connecting to the device database¡­ Connection successful.] [Calculating production line equipment design¡­] [Calling Intelligent CAD software to design the factory¡­] [Simulation design in progress¡­] [It is estimated to take two hours to complete the design of the brainwave receiver factory. 1%¡­] ¡°Fortunately, I borrowed the supercomputer from Academician Lin Qu in advance!¡± This two hours was based on the computing power of the supercomputer. Now, the automated factory version of the CAD software was running on the supercomputer under Bai Ze¡¯s control. If it was run on the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company, it would take a week to design the brainwave receiver¡¯s production line and factory. Don¡¯t think that a week is slow! In fact, it was impossible to design a production line and factory in a week. Even the best industrial design company would take at least two years to complete a new production line and factory design. Even if he designed a mature production line in the past and built it elsewhere, it would take no less than half a year to complete a series of procedures. While the automated factory version of the CAD software was running at full speed, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stay idle. He picked up a brainwave receiver that had already been manufactured. Then, he began to use his Skill. ¡°Manufacturing Principles!¡± In front of Li Chengqian, a translucent message appeared. [Analyzing brainwave receiver requirements: 1. Materials science proficiency (not mastered); 2. Integrated circuit science proficiency (not mastered); 3. EEG proficiency (mastered); 4. Electronic informatics proficiency (mastered); 5. Metal smelting proficiency (not mastered); 6. Polymer materials proficiency (not mastered)] [After mastering the above subjects, you will consume 910,000 Stamina Points, you will obtain the full set of principles for creating a complete brainwave receiver.] ¡°Adjust the analysis mode!¡± Li Chengqian was not surprised by this result at all. He simulated it in his mind. ¡°Adjust the analysis mode to parsing and assembling technology!¡± [Analyzing the assembly of the brainwave receiver requires 9,000 Stamina Points.] [Analysis successful! Successfully mastered the assembly principle of the brainwave receiver.] Immediately, a detailed assembly plan fused into Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Anyone who obtained this assembly plan could easily create the brainwave receiver. [The assembly principle model of the brainwave receiver has been successfully generated. On the condition that you provide the raw materials, you can use the Expedited Processing skill to create the brainwave receiver!] ¡°Sure enough! I can analyze the assembly technology separately. This way, I can save a lot of Stamina Points!¡± ¡°Then, as long as I provide the raw materials needed for the assembly, I can use the model to quickly assemble the brainwave receiver.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze turned to the shelves. There were still a lot of materials for the brainwave receiver that Zhao Na had bought in the past. ¡°Let¡¯s try and see what¡¯s the effect!¡± Li Chengqian walked to the side of the shelf in anticipation and looked at the remaining materials on the shelf. Activate Expedited Processing skill. The translucent model of the brainwave receiver appeared in front of Li Chengqian. At the same time, a translucent notification appeared. [Create brainwave receivers. Each one consumes 10 Stamina Points!] [The raw materials currently available is enough to produce a maximum number of 90 sets.] [Do you want to activate Skill?] Chapter 161 - Chapter 161 Automated Factory Design Completed Chapter 161 Automated Factory Design Completed ¡°Activate!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t hesitate at all. [Expedited Processing skill activated, 900 Stamina Points deducted, it will take 90 minutes to create 90 brainwave receivers!] [You are to remain stationary when the Expedited Processing skill is in use.] [You can exit the Expedited Processing skill state at any time.] Actually, Li Chengqian was not satisfied with the 90 minutes of production time! The production of 90 brainwave receivers in 90 minutes was equivalent to the production of only one brainwave receiver per minute. This speed was indeed unbelievably fast compared to hand making. If he did not sleep or rest, with sufficient materials, Li Chengqian could make 1,440 brainwave receivers a day. This number was very unbelievable. However, compared to the 180,000 units that needed to be completed, this speed was too slow. Even if Li Chengqian didn¡¯t eat or sleep, it was impossible for him to complete the order for 180,000 brainwave receivers in such a short period of time. This method could only be used as an emergency measure. It was not appropriate to use Expedited Processing skill to create products. This skill was naturally only suitable for producing manufacturing equipment. It was also a divine skill in manufacturing core components! For example, it could be used to make photolithography machines! Without any hesitation, Li Chengqian exited the skill state. He had to find a more comfortable position as he couldn¡¯t move when the Skill was in use. He moved the materials related to the brainwave receivers to the table in front of him. Then, he put the brainwave receiver on his head, turned on the computer in front of him, and leaned back in his chair in an extremely comfortable posture. He took out a few ginsengs that could restore 1,000 Stamina Points and ate them. After making all the preparations, he activated the Expedited Processing skill again. ¡°I¡¯m sitting on the chair and my body isn¡¯t moving, but that doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t use my brain!¡± More than 10,000 Stamina Points gave Li Chengqian a chance to test. He tentatively used the brainwave receiver to control the computer. Then, lines of code were quickly entered into the computer. Then, he realized that the Expedited Processing skill was not interrupted! Instantly, he was relieved. One minute later, a portion of the material used to create the brainwave receiver on the table in front of him disappeared into thin air. At the same time that the materials disappeared, ten brand new brainwave receivers appeared on the table, neatly arranged in the area set by Li Chengqian. This scene seemed very unscientific! ¡°It¡¯s feasible! It can really be made!¡± After Li Chengqian verified that it could really be manufactured, he focused his attention on the source code. The chat software that came with the Divine Dragon System was developed by Li Chengqian at the press conference to demonstrate the brainwave receiver. It was not perfect, but because it was a tool that came with the system, it was basically used by anyone who installed the Divine Dragon System. Currently, many people were complaining on the official website that it was too basic and its functions were not perfect. Since he couldn¡¯t move while using the Expedited Processing skill, he decided he might as well take this opportunity to perfect the chat software. ¡°You need to beautify the interface to a certain extent! Make the chat software more modern and aesthetically pleasing!¡± ¡°The chat software needs to connect to data on the phone and the computer!¡± ¡°It should have the Weibo hashtag function!¡± ¡°It should have the WeChat Moments function, so that we can share recent events, photos, delicacies, and so on.¡± ¡°The texting software on the phone needs to be integrated with the chat software.¡± ¡°The software on the phone also needs to have a function, which is to remotely back up the photos, documents, contact list, and so on on the phone to the computer! If the same account is logged in on the computer, it can also directly control the computer and call out the documents, photos, and so on in the computer.¡± ¡°This way, the personal computer can become a personal server.¡± Because he was using the Expedited Processing skill and could not use the Focus skill and the Rational Thinking skill at the same time, Li Chengqian¡¯s efficiency was not very high. He could only complete about 100 lines of code in a minute. After all the brainwave receivers were manufactured, Li Chengqian¡¯s work was basically completed. ¡°I¡¯ve already completed the core code. The other codes can be completed by Bai Ze. After Bai Ze completes the code, I¡¯ll review it. This will be more efficient.¡± After Li Chengqian thought about it, he added the development of the chat software to Bai Ze¡¯s tasks list. He picked up a newly made brainwave receiver and tested it. There were no problems. It could be used directly. Just then, Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice came from the computer. ¡°Brainwave receiver intelligent factory design completed!¡± ¡°The list of equipment and quantity to be purchased is as follows:¡­¡± ¡°The estimated cost of purchasing equipment is 3.2 billion yuan!¡± ¡°Estimated time of arrival of equipment is three days!¡± ¡°Estimated time to install and debug the equipment is three days. ¡°The development and debugging of a fully automatic production control program is estimated to take one day.¡± ¡°In order to accelerate production, it is recommended to buy a factory that has already been built. There are factories nearby that meet the requirements¡­¡± ¡°Buying the factory is estimated to cost one billion!¡± Bai Ze listed in great detail everything that was needed to build a fully automatic factory. Li Chengqian looked at the design blueprint carefully, the process process, and the automatic control node. He realized that the fully automatic factory designed by the automatic factory CAD software was perfect. There were no flaws at all. ¡°Bai Ze, start making arrangements in my name immediately.¡± ¡°Leave the acquisition of the factory to Huang Ting! Ask him to complete negotiations for the factory within a day.¡± Now that he was building a new factory, it was impossible for him to do it himself. It might take him a few years to sort out things like water supply, power supply, and roads. It was impossible to start production immediately! The advantage of buying a factory was that it saved time and could be put to use directly. To Li Chengqian, this was more important than anything else. As has been said on the internet, if someone were to cause trouble and ask for compensation from the Divine Dragon Software Company, the original price of 180,000 brainwave receivers would be tripled. That was an astronomical figure. The Divine Dragon Software Company would be crushed in an instant and go bankrupt. According to legal procedures, the assets of the Divine Dragon Software Company, the Divine Dragon System, the Data Restoration software, the brainwave receiver, and the brainwave coding technology would be confiscated by the court and auctioned away to offset the debts. This was an outcome that Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t accept. ¡°Get He Hongyan to work on purchasing the equipment! Tell him that price is not a problem, but it has to be fast. I want all the equipment to reach Tianyi City in three days!¡± ¡°Invite President Wang of Huawei, President Lei of Heyme and President Zhou of the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company to take a look too. If you can reach them, ask them to contact me immediately.¡± Li Chengqian continued to instruct. ¡°Bai Ze, I authorize you to search for information about relevant equipment on the internet. After confirming that the other party has the goods we need, send me the other party¡¯s information. I¡¯ll arrange for someone to contact him immediately, but you have to be careful. You can¡¯t let anyone find out that you¡¯re an AI program.¡± Time was too tight. Li Chengqian was resorting to all means. ¡°Also, in addition to the equipment needed for production, the materials needed for production must be procured immediately!¡± ¡°Arrange for Zhao Na to immediately contact the relevant manufacturers. Within five days, buy the materials needed to produce 200,000 sets of brainwave receivers and transport them to Tianyi City. It doesn¡¯t matter if the price is a little higher. The most important thing is speed.¡± Li Chengqian continued to make arrangements. Currently, the materials ordered by the Divine Dragon Software Company were temporarily in a normal state. They had to seize this time gap and prepare the relevant production materials. As long as 180,000 sets of brainwave receivers were produced and handed over to users, the current crisis of the Divine Dragon Software Company would be resolved. After the crisis was resolved, it was time for Li Chengqian to counterattack! ¡°You will pay the price! I will definitely make you regret what happened today!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart was filled with anger. Chapter 162 - Chapter 162 Commercial Spy Chapter 162 Commercial Spy ¡°President, we have failed. Even a supercomputer can¡¯t crack the information encryption of the Divine Dragon Software!¡± XA, the chief scientist of Windows, came to Satia with a defeated expression. They dismantled the hard drive and read the relevant information from it. However, the Divine Dragon System had encrypted the hard disk. Even a supercomputer couldn¡¯t analyze the data on the hard drive. ¡°For the time being, it¡¯s impossible to obtain brainwave coding technology by hacking!¡± The scientist voiced his opinion. ¡°Our only way now is to obtain the source code from the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°The internet security experts have already done their best to obtain the source code of the Divine Dragon System, but they couldn¡¯t find anything in the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± The internet experts of Windows, who were hackers, had long launched an attack on the Divine Dragon Software, but unfortunately, they found nothing. Satia¡¯s expression became uglier. ¡°President, based on the current situation, almost impossible to obtain the brainwave coding technology through unconventional means.¡± ¡°I suggest other methods,¡± the scientist suggested. ¡°I got it.¡± it¡¯s After the scientist left the office, Satia immediately contacted Cook and Pi Chayi and started a three-way video call. ¡°You¡¯ve failed too?¡± Satia¡¯s mood improved a lot when he saw the dejected expressions on Cook and Pi Chayi¡¯s faces. At the very least, he and his old opponents were still on the same starting line. ¡°Apple¡¯s most advanced laboratory was destroyed by a powerful electric current that suddenly came from the brainwave receiver. Our loss is 50 million yuan!¡± Cook¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Oh, Google¡¯s laboratory was also burned down. Our loss is 30 million.¡± Pi Chayi looked very upset too. ¡°What do we do next?¡± said Satia. ¡°Lock down Divine Dragon Software completely! I¡¯ve already obtained detailed data. Divine Dragon Software still needs to deliver 180,000 brainwave receivers to users.¡± ¡°As long as it can¡¯t be delivered on time, Divine Dragon Software will face three times the compensation. According to the price of 100,000 yuan for a brainwave receiver, when the users claim compensation, Divine Dragon Software will have to compensate 54 billion yuan.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company will go bankrupt because they can¡¯t afford the huge compensation,¡± Cook said coldly. ¡°When Divine Dragon Software goes bankrupt, it will be time for us to make a move! We can buy Divine Dragon Software at the lowest price.¡± Pi Chayi continued the topic. He narrowed his eyes like a greedy, sinister wolf. ¡°Our first goal is to acquire all the technologies of the Divine Dragon System. The brainwave coding technology is naturally within the scope of the acquisition.¡± ¡°If the Divine Dragon Country interferes and we can¡¯t acquire Divine Dragon Software, we¡¯ll carry out our second goal. We¡¯ll find Li Chengqian and bring him back to the Sunset Empire. Li Chengqian is the inventor of the brainwave coding technology. As long as we bring him to the Sunset Empire and make him develop the brainwave coding technology again, it won¡¯t be difficult!¡± ¡°Of course, we can¡¯t give up on the methods we¡¯re currently implementing. It would be even better if we could obtain the brainwave coding technology in advance.¡± ¡°I believe that no one can resist Madam Zhang Tianling¡¯s charm, especially a boy who is only 17 years old. Madam Zhang Tianling is irresistible.¡± At the mention of Zhang Tianling, even Pi Chayi had a dreamy look on his face. Although Zhang Tianling was only 18 years old, she was a top business spy of the Sunset Empire. She had undergone stringent training since she was young and was extremely talented. She was beautiful and charming. Even middle-aged men like them could not refuse her, let alone a 17-year-old virgin. Zhang Tianling¡¯s professional ability was very outstanding. She had been working since she was 16 years old. All the missions had been completed without a single failure. ¡°I naturally believe in Madam Zhang Tianling¡¯s charm.¡± Satia nodded and continued, ¡°However, we have to be prepared for other things.¡± ¡°Wu Shudian has already joined forces with more than 5,000 companies that have ordered the brainwave receivers. Currently, they are still contacting more companies. They are patiently waiting for the delivery. Once Divine Dragon Software can¡¯t deliver on time, he will organize the relevant personnel and immediately file a claim lawsuit against them.¡± Satia had a smile on his face. In the administrative department of the Divine Dragon Software Company, Zhang Tianling, who had just been hired, was sorting out documents. In the same office, many boys had been secretly sizing her up. Zhang Tianling had a serious expression on her face. She was dressed appropriately and looked like a student who had just graduated from school. She had a timid expression on her face at all times, which inspired people to want to protect her. Moreover, Zhang Tianling had a special quality about her, she oozes charm in every frown and every smile. There was a mysterious energy that she was sending off. Anyone who has met her would feel a stirring in their loins. Moreover, the longer one had spent time with her, the stronger this desire would be. ¡°Zhang Tianling, come with me for a moment. The boss wants to see you.¡± Li Na, the supervisor of the administration department, walked in and came to Zhang Tianling¡¯s side. She couldn¡¯t help looking a little jealous. This Zhang Tianling had only been at the Divine Dragon Software Company for three days and had only met Li Chengqian once and she had already caught his attention. Li Chengqian could even remember her name. As for Li Na herself, she had worked hard for more than ten years to obtain her current status. Only then did she have the chance to speak in front of Li Chengqian. ¡°Yes, Supervisor.¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s crisp voice sounded, and then she followed in a hurry. After Li Na and Zhang Tianling left, the boys in the administrative department reluctantly looked away from the door. The young boys were disappointed and sighed. ¡°Sigh, the boss has discovered Zhang Tianling. He will definitely occupy her in the future. We won¡¯t stand a chance anymore.¡± ¡°I ¡°The boss is an eligible bachelor and the youngest billionaire¡­ On the internet, the boss¡¯s popularity has already surpassed a certain heir and he has become the dream boat for all women.¡± ¡°Although Zhang Tianling is not an ordinary girl, it¡¯s impossible for her to escape the boss¡¯s charms. It¡¯s impossible for her to resist the temptations of wealth.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t the boss ask me to see him?¡± Some girls were also filled with disappointment. Any woman would like someone as young, rich, and capable as Li Chengqian. Zhang Tianling followed behind Li Na with small steps. With curiosity on her face, she said carefully, ¡°Supervisor, may I ask why the boss asked me to see me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Boss didn¡¯t say anything. He just asked me to bring you to see him.¡± Li Na shook her head. Although Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say why, she felt that Li Chengqian just wanted to get to know Zhang Tianling. He wanted to use work as an excuse to transfer this ridiculously beautiful girl to his side. Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes flashed with pride, but she frowned and thought hard. ¡°This mission will be easier than the previous missions.¡± ¡°Yesterday, I deliberately showed up in front of him. Today, he couldn¡¯t help but ask me to go over and see him!¡± ¡°As long as I get the chance to be alone with him, the source code will be mine!¡± ¡°This 100 million yuan mission isn¡¯t as difficult as I thought.¡± Although she had only joined the Divine Dragon Software Company for three days, she had already obtained a lot of information because of her beauty and her professional skills. The precious data of the Divine Dragon Software Company was all stored in Li Chengqian¡¯s studio. The brainwave coding technology, the Divine Dragon System, and other advanced technologies were all stored here. Only Li Chengqian could enter and exit the studio at will. Huang Ting, Zhao Na, and a few other company higher-ups could also enter with Li Chengqian¡¯s permission. And now, she would soon obtain the right to enter and leave this place freely. Soon, she would be able to obtain the advanced technology that could change the world. Thinking of this, Zhang Tianling couldn¡¯t help but reveal a sweet and ingenuous smile. A smile could make anyone¡¯s heart palpitate. Chapter 163 - Chapter 163 Putting Up an Act, Playing Along Chapter 163 Putting Up an Act, Playing Along In Li Chengqian¡¯s studio, he was wearing a brainwave receiver on his head. When he saw Li Na bring Zhang Tianling in, he stopped his code writing. ¡°Li Na, get on with your work!¡± ¡°Zhang Tianling, stay behind. I have something to ask her.¡± The jealousy in Li Na¡¯s eyes deepened. After looking at Zhang Tianling intently, she quickly walked out. Originally, she was only guessing. Now, Li Chengqian had confirmed her guess. He was interested in Zhang Tianling, just like any other man. ¡°Although the boss is very powerful and technically talented, he¡¯s just like other men. He¡¯s vulgar! He only likes beautiful women.¡± Li Na complained in her heart. Zhang Tianling¡¯s face was filled with panic, like a little white rabbit meeting a big bad wolf. This expression coupled with her beautiful face made the desire to protect her even stronger. After Li Na left, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say a word. His gaze was fixed on Zhang Tianling. His eyes were calm, without any emotion. There was in fact even a trace of coldness. ¡°Boss, may I ask why you called me?¡± Even though Zhang Tianling was very experienced, under Li Chengqian¡¯s aggressive gaze, it was as if all her pretense had lost its effect. She felt uneasy all over. She forced herself to calm down and pretended to be very nervous, which made her even more charming. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that I heard that a beautiful, highly educated PHD student joined the company. I was very curious about what you looked like, so I asked you in so as to get to know you.¡± ¡°Alright, now that I¡¯ve met you, you may leave.¡± ¡°Work hard. Don¡¯t disappoint me,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile, but the coldness in his eyes didn¡¯t change at all. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he retracted his gaze. Zhang Tianling thought that she had hidden it very well, but in fact, from the first day she joined the company, she had been discovered by the AI, Bai Ze. After three days of tracking and observation, Li Chengqian was already certain that Zhang Tianling was definitely a spy or something along this line. The purpose of coming to Divine Dragon Software was definitely for the advanced technologies like brainwave coding technology and Divine Dragon System. In order to prevent Zhang Tianling from spreading the news, the construction of the automated factory was kept confidential even within the Divine Dragon Software Company. Other than a few higher-ups, no one knew about the automated factory. Li Chengqian naturally had a purpose for calling Zhang Tianling over. He needed to give Zhang Tianling a chance to make her feel that everything was under control. This was one of the reasons. Secondly, Zhang Tianling wanted to steal the brainwave coding technology. Coincidentally, Li Chengqian also wanted Zhang Tianling to bring the other things to the Sunset Empire. ¡°Yes, boss.¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s voice was nervous, like a junior employee meeting her boss for the first time. When people get nervous, they tend to make mistakes easily. Zhang Tianling looked nervous. As she was retreating, she accidentally fell and sprained her foot. She was in great pain. ¡°Ouch.¡± A painful cry came out of her mouth. Coupled with her pitiful appearance, it was a sight that would melt anyone¡¯s heart. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Just as she had expected, Li Chengqian quickly stood up from his seat and came to her side. He asked nervously. The first rule for a female spy was that if the target was a man, she had to create a reasonable opportunity for the other party to approach her. Only then could she quickly get closer to the target. The second rule for a female spy was that no man would refuse to help a beautiful woman. They were happy to help beautiful women and would want something in return. The third rule for a female spy was that any man would be gleeful about taking advantage of a woman. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯ve caused you trouble.¡± Zhang Tianling didn¡¯t forget to maintain her persona. As she apologized, she pulled up her dress to reveal her swollen ankle. At the same time, her smooth and fair calves were exposed. ¡°These legs are really not bad. Indeed, she is well endowed.¡± Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, his face serious. ¡°You¡¯ve sprained your ankle and it is already swollen. It seems quite serious,¡± Li Chengqian said with a worried and serious expression. ¡°Can you still walk?¡± ¡°This woman, in order to gain my trust, she can actually go to this extent to sprain her ankle. She¡¯s really not simple!¡± Li Chengqian sighed in his heart and played along with Zhang Tianling¡¯s act. ¡°Boss, I can walk. You don¡¯t have to worry!¡± Zhang Tianling tried to be strong and stand up, even though her face was red from the pain, she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Aiyo.¡± Zhang Tianling tried to take a step forward, but found that she couldn¡¯t stand at all. She let out a scream, and coincidentally fell in Li Chengqian¡¯s direction. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re seriously injured. You can¡¯t walk by yourself. I¡¯ll send you down.¡± Li Chengqian naturally had to play along with Zhang Tianling¡¯s performance. He supported Zhang Tianling by holding her body. Zhang Tianling also took the opportunity to lean into Li Chengqian¡¯s arms. Her face was flushed red, as if she was very shy. The two of them each had their own ulterior motives. Their cooperation was almost perfect, but their goal was the same. They wanted to gain each other¡¯s trust. The only difference was that Li Chengqian knew Zhang Tianling¡¯s thoughts, but Zhang Tianling didn¡¯t know Li Chengqian¡¯s ill intentions. The two of them were trying their best to play along with each other, and their words were all pleasant. Therefore, when Li Chengqian helped her to the administrative department, the two of them were already very familiar with each other, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. After Li Chengqian handed her over to Li Na, she felt even more smug. ¡°Li Na, take Zhang Tianling to the hospital for a checkup. She sprained her ankle. I think it¡¯s quite serious,¡± Li Chengqian instructed with a concerned expression. ¡°Zhang Tianling, there are a lot of things going on in the company recently. I can¡¯t accompany you to the hospital! You also have my number. If you need anything, you can call me.¡± If you need anything, call me anytime. This sentence shocked Li Na and made her raise her eyebrows! The meaning of this sentence was intriguing! ¡°Boss, there¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll go myself. There¡¯s no need to trouble Supervisor Li.¡± Zhang Tianling looked flattered and quickly refused. ¡°It¡¯s alright, you¡¯re an employee of our company. The company will definitely be responsible for you as you got injured while working in the company. Li Na, send her there.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked reluctant to leave. The two of them looked like a young couple who had just fallen in love and couldn¡¯t bear to part. ¡°Okay, Boss.¡± Li Na could only agree. ¡°Girls nowadays are really not simple. It hasn¡¯t even been 20 minutes since I sent Zhang Tianling up, but she actually got into a relationship with the boss. Impressive! This woman is definitely not as simple as she seems. She is so cunning.¡± Li Na held Zhang Tianling and was secretly shocked. Meanwhile, Li Chengqian had already lost the smile on his face as he walked out of the administration department. His expression was calm, and his eyes peaceful. He didn¡¯t return to the studio. Instead, rushed towards the small desert. he It has been five days since he bought the factory! Equipment had also been shipped to the factory truck after truck for installation. Today, all the equipment could be installed. All that was needed was for Li Chengqian to set the parameters of the equipment, burn the PLC program, and install the automated production system. The experimental production of the brainwave receivers could then be initiated. Coincidentally, the factory he bought this time was not far from the small desert. It was opposite the river. Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 Production Chapter 164 Production ¡°I¡¯ve already come into contact with Li Chengqian. As long as nothing goes wrong, I¡¯ll be able to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s trust within three days and obtain the opportunity to come into contact with brainwave coding technology.¡± In the hospital, Zhang Tianling was reporting the work situation through special equipment. ¡°Very good. We await your good news.¡± ¡°Prepare the remaining 50 million yuan. Zhang Tianling was very proud. She felt that Li Chengqian already had a very good impression of her. She could easily win Li Chengqian¡¯s trust. After all, Li Chengqian was a noob 17-year-old boy. He had no ability to resist love. ¡°When I go back tonight, I¡¯ll take the opportunity to enter the studio!¡± When she was at Li Chengqian¡¯s studio earlier, she appeared nervous, but in fact, she had already silently thoroughly observed the studio. There were more than ten servers on the rack. There was a label on each server. Zhang Tianling remembered very clearly that there was a server label that said brainwave coding technology! If nothing went wrong, this server was what she needed. Overseas, Satia smiled when he read Zhang Tianling¡¯s message. ¡°Three days? Very good!¡± ¡°Do you think we should ask Wu Shudian to stop what he is doing for a while and let Zhang Tianling obtain the Divine Dragon Software first. He can then initiate a compensation claim?¡± Satia reported the situation to Cook and Pi Chayi through a special software. ¡°Wu Shudian shouldn¡¯t stop!¡± ¡°Let Wu Shudian continue to contact the relevant personnel and prepare for the compensation claim.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is too dangerous. We have to destroy him! We can¡¯t let him have any chance to make a comeback.¡± Cook¡¯s opinion was very clear. Wu Shudian¡¯s work should continue. ¡°There is no conflict between what Zhang Tianling and Wu Shudian are doing. In fact their actions are complementary. If either party succeeds, it can help the other party¡¯s work.¡± Pi Zhayi also expressed his opinion. ¡°Success is right in sight. Everyone, don¡¯t be slack. You have to do your job well. We definitely won¡¯t give Divine Dragon Software any chance to turn the tables on us.¡± ¡°This time, I want to completely destroy Divine Dragon Software.¡± In front of the factory by the small desert, Huang Ting was already standing at the door to welcome Li Chengqian¡¯s arrival. Other than Huang Ting, the representatives of the various factories also came. After Li Chengqian parked the car, he opened the trunk and revealed the PLC controller he had already adjusted, the fully automated production control system, and a stack of blueprints. ¡°Huang Ting, get someone to help change all the PLC modules to what I brought.¡¯ ¡°Okay, Boss!¡± Huang Ting nodded and led the way to the control room of the factory. Due to time constraints, the factory had been abandoned for too long. Weeds grew on both sides of the road, and the walls of the building were covered in yellow sand. The entire factory looked extremely old. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t mind. As he walked, he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s President Zhou?¡± Purchase the equipment and transport them to Tianyi City within three days! He had to thank Zhou Shaoyun for his help in completing this task on time. ¡°In the command center,¡± Huang Ting answered. ¡°President Li, I heard from President Huang that you completed the design of this production line using a software.¡± At this moment, Ding Wuhui asked. Ding Wuhui was the person-in-charge of the equipment factory. He unintentionally heard Huang Ting mention that the design of the production line was completed in a day. He was extremely shocked. Then, he thought that if his company also had such design ability, the sales of the production equipment in the factory would definitely increase greatly if he brought them together with the design. ¡°Furthermore, the entire design cycle only took one day. I still can¡¯t figure out how you did it.¡± Ding Wuhui said in surprise. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company developed a software, Automated Factory CAD software. It can design a production line automatically.¡± Automated Factory CAD software was designed for people to use, so Li Chengqian had no intention of hiding it at all. ¡°As long as we input the blueprints of the factory into the Automated Factory CAD software, it will be able to carry out intelligent design and complete the design of the production line in three days.¡± ¡°It will also generate the equipment list, install the location map, the P:C control program, and automatically produce the mainframe.¡± The PLC control program automatically produced the two core control devices, which were also the most profitable equipment. Naturally, it was provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Of course, you can also limit the brand and model of the equipment to design.¡± ¡°It is so advanced!¡± Ding Wuhui¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard Li Chengqian¡¯s simple introduction. ¡°President Li, how are you going to sell this Automated Factory CAD software? Our company wants to buy a set.¡± Ding Wuhui was very interested. Other companies were still selling equipment, but not only were their companies selling equipment, but they were also providing it along with the overall plan of the production line. This would be a blow to traditional equipment manufacturers. This was the tempo of evolving from a traditional equipment manufacturer to an overall service provider. ¡°Our company would not be selling the Automated Factory CAD software!¡± Li Chengqian answered without any hesitation. Ding Wuhui¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. ¡°We won¡¯t sell the Automated Factory CAD software, but we will sell design services and charge for every service.¡± ¡°For a design service, we will charge a design fee of 1% of the total project fee! Of course, we will use different pricing strategies according to the different nature of each project.¡± A project of 100 million yuan would mean a design fee of 1 million yuan. Ding Wuhui immediately became excited. ¡°President Li, I¡¯m very interested. Let¡¯s have a good talk¡­¡± The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the command and dispatch room of the factory. After exchanging a few polite words with Zhou Shaoyun, Li Chengqian began to work nervously. On the large screen of the command center was the production workshop of the factory. Densely packed production equipment was installed in the old workshop. The equipment was connected to each other through a sealed conveyor belt. On the big screen, the factory staff was reporting the completion of the various modules. ¡°Command Center, the PLCs have all been replaced and connected to the network.¡± ¡°Command Center, the automatic production mainframe has been installed.¡± ¡°Command Center, the materials warehouse and production lines are connected.¡± ¡°All equipment has been powered up and is in good condition.¡± At this moment, half of the space on the big screen had become a virtual production line. This was a production control program produced by the Automated Factory CAD software. All the equipment on the production line was green, which meant that all the equipment was in normal condition. As long as there was an abnormality in the production line, the big screen would show an abnormality notification and give suggestions for resolving it. ¡°Self-examination before production begins¡­¡± ¡°Production equipment, normal.¡± ¡°Production equipment, normal.¡± ¡°Materials reserve, normal.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no one in the production area. It¡¯s normal.¡± ¡°Self-check completed. Automated factory status is normal. Production can proceed. Do you wish to proceed with production?¡± Everyone stared at the big screen. ¡°It¡¯s so advanced!¡± ¡°If the production of the Divine Dragon Software is on track, this place will become the first fully automated factory in the country!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software is really amazing in terms of software technology!¡± On the other hand, Huang Ting, Zhao Na, and the others looked at the big screen expectantly. ¡°If the production is successful this time, Divine Dragon Software will have its own equipment production capacity!¡± ¡°The problem of the brainwave receivers not being delivered on time can also be resolved immediately! The west¡¯s blockade of Divine Dragon software is instantly broken.¡± ¡°Furthermore, not only can this factory complete the production of the brainwave receivers, but it can also help our partners complete the production of their mobile phone orders!¡± Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Li Chengqian moved the mouse and clicked the production button. ¡°Experimental production!¡± A low machine roar sounded. All the machines started running. The parts needed to produce the brainwave receivers were moved quickly on the conveyor belts. One minute later, the first brainwave receiver was produced. Then, a new brainwave receiver was produced every second, and the quality inspectors began to get busy. ¡°Fully automated factory! Other than quality inspection, it is truly fully automated.¡± Everyone was very surprised. The automation level of the factory was unprecedented. Even the most advanced automated factory overseas had not reached this level. software ¡°After verification, the production line designed by the Automated Factory CAD is in normal production state!¡± Ding Wuhui¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. ¡°That¡¯s great. The production of the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones can be taken care of.¡± Zhou Shaoyun was also excited. ¡°Command Center, experimental production of 100 brainwave receivers. After inspection, pass rate is 100 units. The pass rate is 100%.¡± the The voice of the person in charge of the quality inspection sounded in the command center. Immediately, smiles appeared on everyone¡¯s faces. ¡°Good! That¡¯s great!¡± Li Chengqian smiled. This automated factory was really too important to him. ¡°Huang Ting, start the normal production of the brainwave receivers immediately!¡± Chapter 165 - Chapter 165 Claim Compensation Chapter 165 Claim Compensation Wu Shudian created a WeChat group with a total of 500 people. These people were all working for Windows, Apple and Google. The attack on Divine Dragon Software this time was led by Wu Shudian. The employees of the three companies had to participate on the company¡¯s request. ¡°According to the headquarters¡¯ instructions, we¡¯ll start working together today!¡± ¡°Three hundred people¡¯s orders are due today, but Divine Dragon Software still hasn¡¯t shipped their products.¡± When the sale of the brainwave receivers officially started, the employees of these three companies followed the company¡¯s instructions and bought the brainwave receivers in the online shop of Divine Dragon Software. Three hundred orders were not much for the Divine Dragon Software Company. But based on the compensation rate of three times per order, the Divine Dragon Software Company needed to compensate 90 million yuan. ¡°The 300 orders are due! File a claim for compensation immediately!¡± Wu Shudian began to make arrangements. ¡°I¡¯ll create a new topic on Weibo regarding seeking refund on the brainwave receivers.¡± ¡°We have to send screenshots of all our refunds today to this topic.¡± ¡°Money moves the heart! Our role is a catalyst! Our role is to tell everyone that if they don¡¯t receive the goods when they are due, they can claim compensation and receive three times the price.¡± Every drop makes an ocean. As long as the first batch of people received compensation, a second batch would appear. ¡°As long as we make the topic popular, many people who didn¡¯t receive their orders by the due date will learn from us and ask for compensation from Divine Dragon Software. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want to get 200,000 yuan just by making a few clicks to ask for compensation.¡¯ ¡°This money is enough to tempt all ordinary people!¡± Under the organization of the Wu Shudian, everyone took action. At the back office of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s mall, 300 claims for compensation were made within ten minutes. They sought 90 million yuan of compensation! When the person in charge of the online mall saw the message, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he opened everyone¡¯s claim application and realized that everyone¡¯s claim application stated the reason for the claim and quoted the specific terms of the sales contract. The reason was very clear, and the truth was plain to see. If the Divine Dragon Software Company didn¡¯t compensate according to the sales contract, a lawsuit would be initiated. At that time, the Company would face even more compensation claims, and their business reputation would be ruined. ¡°This is a serious matter. We have to call President Huang immediately to report it!¡± The person in charge of the online mall could no longer sit still. He hurriedly picked up the phone and called Huang Ting. Just as the person-in-charge of the online mall was updating Huang Ting on the situation, On the manipulation of Wu Shudian, a topic became the most searched trending topic. We have the right to claim 300,000 yuan from Divine Dragon Software. Protect consumer rights! Below the topic, the sales contract of the Divine Dragon Software Company was clearly shown, especially the important clause on the compensation for breach of contract. On this topic, screenshots of the compensation claims were posted. Other than screenshots, there were also a lot of discussions. In the discussion, he answered all the questions that the public was concerned about. ¡°I¡¯ve already submitted an application for compensation. What if the Divine Dragon Software Company is unwilling to compensate?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Zhang Wei from Xinzhen Law Firm. I¡¯m willing to provide you with litigation services. It¡¯s very simple. You just need to provide the time you placed the order, the time window for compensation claim, a screenshot of the rejection of your compensation claim or a screenshot showing they did not respond to your compensation claim. The fee is not expensive, just pay me 30,000 yuan after you win the lawsuit!¡± ¡°Now that the Sunset Empire is suppressing the Divine Dragon Software Company, is it a good idea for me to ask for a refund now?¡± ¡°This is the wrong concept! The compensation was agreed upon in the contract. It¡¯s your right. No one will be grateful to you for not exercising your rights! You are exercising your rights legitimately, no one will say anything about you. ¡°We can earn 200,000 yuan from the compensation. After thinking about it, how many 200,000 yuan can we earn in a year?¡± ¡°I can earn 200,000 yuan with a few clicks! I can really earn 200,000 yuan just by using my fingers. I¡¯d miss this opportunity once the boat has sailed. I¡¯d be a fool if I didn¡¯t grab such easy money.¡± ¡°Everyone, act now. If you are late in submitting your compensation claim, you won¡¯t even get your initial sum back when the Divine Dragon Software Company runs out of funds. Those who hesitate and those who are kind hearted won¡¯t even get your capital back!¡± ¡°Production of brainwave receivers have stopped! All factories have refused to produce brainwave receivers for Divine Dragon Software!¡± ¡°According to insider news, the Divine Dragon Software Company is no longer alive. The brainwave receivers sent out during this period of time were all handmade by Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°My claim is successful. A sum of 300,000 yuan has been transferred to my account! Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m all clear! Those who are late might not even be able to get their capital back. Good luck, everyone.¡± A screenshot of a bank transfer appeared under the topic. This message was especially inflammatory. At this moment, a press release was posted on the official website of Divine Dragon Software. The same announcement was also posted on Weibo at the same time. ¡°Notice to Users!¡± Dear users: Divine Dragon Software is currently in a difficult situation. Due to the suppression of the Sunset Empire, we could neither purchase raw materials nor find an OEM factory. The production of the brainwave receivers had almost stopped. However, we are persevering. We are actively looking for a new OEM factory and we have also begun to build our own production capacity. In order to fulfill the orders, the company¡¯s founder, Mr. Li Chengqian, has been working more than 12 hours a day producing the brainwave receivers for everyone by hand. Divine Dragon Software will ship the orders on a first-come-first-served basis. It is expected that the production issue will be resolved within this month. We solemnly promise to ship all the orders within the next month. Due to various factors, the shipment of the brainwave receivers was delayed. However, the Divine Dragon Software Company guarantee that they would do their best to ship the orders within the specified time and have all users receive the brainwave receivers as soon as possible. for your kind We thank everyone understanding and support. The Divine Dragon Software Company is a start-up company. We are young and we need everyone¡¯s support. Please be magnanimous and choose not to claim compensation should your order not be fulfilled on time. We would make appropriate compensation for your losses. As soon as this press release was posted, it became a trending topic on Weibo with the help of some people. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is such a good company. The operating system is free for everyone to use. Everyone, please be magnanimous and wait a few more days,¡± someone called out. ¡°They are now playing for the people¡¯s sympathy. Under usual circumstances, the next step is to file for bankruptcy. The boss will run away. I advise everyone to claim compensation as soon as the order expires.¡± There were also people who disagreed. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is the pride of the Divine Dragon Country. We can¡¯t let it fall!¡± ¡°I¡¯m using the Divine Dragon System now. It¡¯s very useful and it¡¯s free! Now that the Divine Dragon Software Company is in trouble, I just want to ask, do you need a donation? I don¡¯t have much, but I can donate 100 yuan immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯m also willing to donate. Send me the link.¡± ¡°The account of the Divine Dragon Software Company is 62,587 ****. Everyone, do your part!¡± Wu Shudian couldn¡¯t stop smiling after reading the press release. He didn¡¯t believe a word of it. He didn¡¯t believe that the Company would be able to fulfill their promise to deliver all the orders by the following month. All companies were like this before they went bankrupt. They would promise their customers all kinds of things in order to win their trust and to buy time. In actual fact, they couldn¡¯t do anything. After reading the press release, Wu Shudian had a very clear judgment of the situation the Divine Dragon Software Company was in. ¡°It seems that the Divine Dragon Software Company has really reached the end of its rope. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have published such a release.¡± ¡°Continue to maintain interest on Weibo! Let the topic of the compensation claim continue to occupy the top ten trending searches!¡± ¡°Also, everyone who has orders on hand. You can do whatever you want. The big boss overseas said that the additional gains from this compensation will be treated as a bonus for everyone.¡± Immediately, a large number of messages appeared in the group that was originally silent. ¡°Long live freedom, long live the boss!¡± ¡°Long live Windows! Long live Apple! Long live Google!¡± Chapter 166 - Chapter 166 Smug Chapter 166 Smug ¡°Boss, we clearly have our own production capacity now. There¡¯s no problem with the supply of brainwave receivers at all. Why did we issue the press release?¡± Huang Ting didn¡¯t understand Li Chengqian¡¯s actions. The factory in the small desert had already begun production. It is producing 80,000 units per production line per day. The second production line was being assembled and would be in production in four days. There was no issue of not being able to fulfill the orders. ¡°In order to reassure some people!¡± Li Chengqian said in a simple sentence and didn¡¯t explain further. Then, he instructed, ¡°Don¡¯t mention the matter of the small desert factory to anyone. Tell everyone that it must be strictly confidential.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Huang Ting nodded to show that he understood. ¡°You have to keep an eye on the assembly of the mobile phone production line. Huawei, Heyme, and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company are all waiting for the mobile phone production line to be active. They are waiting for a large number of mobile phones to be put on the market.¡± After settling the most important issue of the brainwave receiver production line, Li Chengqian immediately carried out the design and installation of the mobile phone production line. Currently, the equipment has arrived and is being installed. The mobile phone production line was designed to produce 50,000 units per day. There were a total of 10 production lines. After installing the equipment, the production capacity would be 500,000 units per day. The construction was funded by Huawei, Heyme, and Baidu. The restriction on production this time reminded several companies that it was very dangerous to not have their own production capacity, so they were very eager to get this done. Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t involved in the mobile phone production line. He only provided technical support. The design of the automated production line was completed by Divine Dragon Software. The Divine Dragon Software Company provided the equipment and the PLC control program for the equipment. The Divine Dragon Software Company provided the control program and mainframe for the automated production line. The total construction cost of the factory was 5 billion yuan. Li Chengqian provided the design and key equipment. He also gave the four companies the most favorable price and obtained 50 million yuan for the design and equipment! If he were to build such a factory for other companies, based on Li Chengqian¡¯s pricing principles, he would have to charge at least 200 million yuan for service fees. ¡°As expected, the most profitable role is that of the system integrator¡¯s! Moreover, it¡¯s a sure-win deal.¡± In the process of designing the mobile phone production line, Li Chengqian only had three Costs. The first was the PLC program, the second was the production of the control mainframe and control system, and the third was the power resources consumed by the Automated Factory CAD software. The total cost was less than a million yuan! The most favorable price for a partner was 50 million yuan. Even if Li Chengqian raised the price to 200 million yuan, others would have no choice but to bite the bullet and pay, because only the Divine Dragon Software Company could provide such a service. This was the only such service in the world. If they went to another company, even if they offered two billion yuan, others would not be able to do this! This was a great technological advancement! At the Divine Dragon Software Company, the atmosphere was very solemn. Everyone looked very serious. Everyone was busy going up and down. Especially in the sales department and finance department, everyone was looking troubled. That was because based on Huang Ting¡¯s instructions, as long as one fulfilled the conditions of the claim, as long as one clicked on the claim option in the online mall, they would be compensated three times according to the contract. After the first compensation was confirmed, the sales department and the finance department were already processing the 400th compensation claim! In less than a day, 120 million yuan had been paid out! In the administrative department, Li Na was sorting out the reports from the sales and finance departments. Her expression was also very serious. ¡°There are only 500 orders that are due today, 3,000 orders that are due tomorrow, and 36,000 orders that are due the day after tomorrow¡­ Based on today¡¯s claim ratio, the company¡¯s funds can only last until the day after tomorrow!¡± ¡°At the moment, the company is indeed dealing with a huge crisis!¡± Li Na sighed. ¡°The people from the Sunset Empire are precise and ruthless! Divine Dragon Software doesn¡¯t have the production capacity, so they dealt us a blow in this area, making it impossible to produce and supply brainwave receivers normally.¡± Li Na¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. ¡°They must be the mastermind behind this flurry of compensation claims. They are trying to attack Divine Dragon by making it collapse under this mountain of debts. They are aiming to exterminate us.¡± In fact, many people knew that this chain of compensation claims on the internet was started by the Sunset Empire. However, there would definitely be people who couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of 200,000 yuan and chose to seek compensation! As Li Na thought about it, she entered the relevant thoughts into the computer through the brainwave receiver. Everyone at Divine Dragon Software had switched to using the brainwave receivers, and their efficiency at work have all improved. Before using the brainwave receiver, Li Na needed at least two hours to summarize the company¡¯s situation every day, and even then, her summary wouldn¡¯t be comprehensive. If they had to analyze the current market, or the challenges the company was facing, they would often have to put in extra hours. Now, after using the brainwave receivers, no one had to do overtime anymore. All work could be completed at high quality during working hours. ¡°An epoch-making product like the brainwave receiver and such subversive technology have made the Sunset Empire jealous! Therefore, the Sunset Empire will be very ruthless to the Divine Dragon Software Company this time.¡± Li Na sighed again as she completed the update report on the computer. At this moment, at the entrance of the administrative department, Zhang Tianling walked in on crutches, with a grimace on her face. ¡°Zhang Tianling, aren¡¯t you in the hospital? Why are you here?¡± Li Na frowned and asked when she saw Zhang Tianling. In fact, she didn¡¯t have a good impression of Zhang Tianling at all, but Zhang Tianling¡¯s current relationship with Li Chengqian was still unknown, so she didn¡¯t dare to express it. ¡°Manager Li, I¡¯ve seen the news on Weibo! I¡¯m a part of the Divine Dragon Software Company. I want to stand united with the Company during these difficult times!¡± Zhang Tianling said resolutely. Not only did she see the news on Weibo, but she had also received updates from Cook and the others. Now that Divine Dragon Software was in a ¡°crisis¡±, Li Chengqian was definitely at his most vulnerable! Li Chengqian would need a listening ear at a time like this. He would need a shoulder to cry on. And in the process of listening and comforting, she could quickly obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s trust and also obtain some information that was otherwise difficult to obtain. As a professional commercial spy, how could Zhang Tianling let go of such a good opportunity? Li Na didn¡¯t believe a single word Zhang Tianling said! Zhang Tianling had only been in the company for three days, yet she had such a strong sense of belonging to the Divine Dragon Software Company? Who are you trying to fool! ¡°Manager Li, I think President Li needs my company now!¡± Zhang Tianling seemed to be able to read Li Na¡¯s thoughts. She said slowly with a smug look in her eyes. After saying this, Li Na swallowed what she wanted to say. Just then, a strong smell of alcohol came from outside the office. Li Chengqian¡¯s face was red, and his drunken eyes were blurry as he stumbled to the office door. ¡°Li Na, tell me what happened today.¡± ¡°Eh, Zhang Tianling is here too? Didn¡¯t you go to the hospital? Why are you back?¡± Li Chengqian held on to the door frame and looked straight at Zhang Tianling with burning eyes. There was hunger and yearning in his way a man would be. eyes, the Zhang Tianling was all too familiar with this look of intense desire. She felt even more pleased with herself. ¡°Li Na, bring Zhang Tianling to the studio and After Li update me on the current situation.¡± Chengqian finished speaking, his eyes boldly swept over Zhang Tianling. His gaze was extremely aggressive, as if he wanted to possess someone. ¡°President Li, why don¡¯t I help you back to rest first? You shouldn¡¯t be working in your current state.¡± Li Na shook her head. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes were blurry and he looked like he was drunk. He looked so horny it was completely unsuitable for him to listen to any updates. ¡°I¡¯m fine! Bring Zhang Tianling over and do as I say. The Divine Dragon Software Company hasn¡¯t gone bankrupt yet, you have to listen to me!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was cold, as if he had been provoked. He looked like a person who was at his wits¡¯ end and was in complete despair! Chapter 167 - Chapter 167 Got It 1 Chapter 167 Got It 1 Li Na¡¯s report only lasted for ten minutes before Li Chengqian interrupted her unhappily, and asked her to leave. ¡°Sigh, the boss is a man after all! He¡¯s no different from other men.¡± Li Na sighed. She glanced at Zhang Tianling and realized that he couldn¡¯t hide the excitement on his face. He even looked expectant. This confirmed Li Na¡¯s suspicion once again. ¡°Zhang Tianling is definitely after the Boss. She¡¯s indeed not a simple person.¡± ¡°As the saying goes, heroes love bitches. This is age old wisdom!¡± Li Na shook her head and walked out of the studio. Then, she closed the door of the studio out of consideration. Instantly, only he and Zhang Tianling were in the studio. A man and a woman alone in the same room. The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Zhang Tianling¡¯s face also quickly turned red. Even Li Chengqian, who knew in his heart that he was putting up an act, couldn¡¯t help his palpitations. ¡°President Li, don¡¯t worry. Everything will be fine.¡± Although Zhang Tianling was a professional commercial spy, she couldn¡¯t suppress her body¡¯s instinctive reactions. After all, she was only a girl in her early twenties. The targets she had met in the past were all old men in their fifties or sixties. All she felt was disgust. This was the first time she met someone who was about her age. The same youthful aura made her feel something she had never felt before. Zhang Tianling suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart and continued to comfort Li Chengqian in a gentle voice. ¡°President Li, you are a genius. You can even develop an operating system and the brainwave coding technology. You will definitely be able to solve the problem that the Company is facing now.¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s voice was filled with trust and anticipation for Li Chengqian. The way she looked at Li Chengqian was as if she was looking at a superhero! It was filled with admiration and trust. Li Chengqian seemed to be moved by her. He stood up and hugged Zhang Tianling, looking very touched. ¡°Zhang Tianling, thank you for your trust in me. Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely be able to resolve the predicament of Divine Dragon Software!¡± Then, he continued hugging Zhang Tianling. The atmosphere became more and more amorous, and one could almost smell the raging hormones in the air. Under the influence of his raging hormones, Li Chengqian caressed her. On the pretext of his drunken state, Li Chengqian started exploring Zhang Tianling¡¯s body with his hands. His eyes were burning like a wild beast! Zhang Tianling¡¯s concealed her discomfort, but there was also a deep-seated anticipation and desire in this discomfort. However, Zhang Tianling endured the discomfort and thought smugly, ¡°Men will be men. They are always disgusting no matter their age!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still thinking of resolving your predicament? Hehe, when I steal the brainwave coding technology, you¡¯ll never have a chance to resolve your predicament.¡¯ ¡°I naively thought that you were different from the others. In fact, all men are equally stupid!¡± ¡°You are just taking advantage of me by pretending to be drunk! You think you can use this opportunity to make me submit to you! Fat hope!¡± ¡°Your drunkenness will only make my work easier¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make your ending worse!¡± Zhang Tianling didn¡¯t make a move. Being hugged by Li Chengqian made her feelings even stronger! Even her heart was racing. There was a sense of panic that she had never felt before. However, this still didn¡¯t shake her determination. Zhang Tianling only came back to her senses when Li Chengqian¡¯s hands started moving below her waist. She then tried to break free from his embrace. Because she had been professionally trained, Zhang Tianling was very skilled in breaking free. Her explosive power was also very strong, and she would be able to break free, even from a strong man. If not for this, Zhang Tianling would have long been taken advantage of by others! In every mission in the past, Zhang Tianling had used skilled techniques to avoid other people¡¯s lecherous actions. She would routinely tease them a little and subsequently leave them dangling. Zhang Tianling knew men too well. For men, what they couldn¡¯t have was the best. Men enjoyed the hunt. They tend to lose interest after the conquest. Once a man has hunted his prey, he would quickly get tired of it and abandon it. Therefore, Zhang Tianling had kept her virginity. After Zhang Tianling was done with this mission, she planned to retire and enjoy life. She wanted to find someone she liked, fall in love for once, and be a normal person. Zhang Tianling shrunk her body and wriggled gently like a fish. She used her strength very skillfully, ensuring that she didn¡¯t hurt Li Chengqian, but at the same time making sure that he would let go of her because of this power. Soon, Zhang Tianling¡¯s face turned pale. This was because Zhang Tianling discovered that the methods that had worked every time in the past had failed with Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian¡¯s grip on her hand was like a pair of iron pincers, she couldn¡¯t break free. Zhang Tianling wriggled her body again in another attempt, trying to push Li Chengqian away. However, she was helpless in the face of Li Chengqian¡¯s Stamina Stats of more than 10,000 points. This was a great strength for ordinary people, and Zhang Tianling was helpless. Chapter 168 - Chapter 168 Got It 2 Chapter 168 Got It 2 Zhang Tianling¡¯s efforts were futile. Zhang Tianling panicked. She looked up and happened to see Li Chengqian¡¯s murderous gaze. The strong smell of alcohol in his breath made her feel that she couldn¡¯t continue like this. If this went on, she might suffer. ¡°Boss, let go of me! You¡¯re hurting me. My feet hurt!¡± Tears streamed down Zhang Tianling¡¯s face, and her voice was quavering. Any man who heard her would feel pity. They would all be moved by her delicate and moving act. Unfortunately, it is Li Chengqian that Zhang Tianling was dealing with this time. Li Chengqian knew Zhang Tianling¡¯s identity as a commercial spy very well. How could he have any thoughts of pity? ¡°Zhang Tianling, I like you. I want you!¡± ¡°Boss, please don¡¯t do this!¡± At this moment, she was completely flustered and lost her composure. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation since she debuted. This was the first time she had suffered such a huge loss. She started panicking, and she even felt helpless and afraid. Zhang Tianling became even more flustered. In order to save herself, she deliberately raised her voice. She wanted the others to hear the commotion here and come over to help her escape from her current predicament. Unfortunately, the studio had been modified in the later stages to be soundproof. Zhang Tianling¡¯s cries wouldn¡¯t be heard at all. ¡°Zhang Tianling, do you think I¡¯ll go bankrupt this time? Let me tell you, I¡¯m the only one who knows the source code of the brainwave coding technology. I still have many advanced technologies developed.¡± ¡°A brainwave coding technology is enough for me to survive any crisis.¡± When Li Chengqian spoke, his gaze seemed to be unintentional as he glanced at the corner of the studio. ¡°What happened this time won¡¯t affect me too much!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, be with me, I¡¯ll definitely treat you well! I¡¯ll give you a good life, you will never ever have to worry about anything!¡± Li Chengqian started breathing heavily. He was like an anxious little boy, eager to prove himself to the woman he liked. ¡°Li Chengqian, stop! If you mess around again, I¡¯ll call the police!¡± Zhang Tianling shouted at the top of her lungs. Her eyes became incomparably stern, and her face was furious. After Li Chengqian stopped reluctantly, she hurriedly broke free from Li Chengqian¡¯s embrace and heaved a sigh of relief. But in order to complete the mission, her voice became gentle again. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re drunk today! I definitely won¡¯t agree to your request¡­¡± Seeing the disappointed look on Li Chengqian¡¯s face, she felt smug again. Zhang Tianling felt that Li Chengqian had already fallen for her. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s spend more time together and get to know each other better. After confirming our relationship, I¡¯m willing to give you everything!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a loose woman. I¡¯ve never¡­ So, I value this matter very much! It¡¯s very important to me too!¡± Zhang Tianling looked very shy. Although she didn¡¯t say it directly, she vaguely hinted that she was a virgin, and this was her first time. She had tried this method a hundred times. Any man would forgive her for her previous rejection and be more keen on her. After all, men cared a lot about a woman¡¯s virginity. They would bid their time in exchange for this. Li Chengqian was very calm in his heart. He coldly watched Zhang Tianling¡¯s performance, but on the surface, he appeared vexed and pleasantly surprised. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I drank too much today and was impulsive. Don¡¯t blame me.¡¯ The two of them casually chatted, and during the process of chatting, Li Chengqian¡¯s drunkenness acted up. He leaned against the sofa and fell asleep. After confirming that Li Chengqian had already fallen asleep, Zhang Tianling¡¯s expression suddenly became serious. Her footsteps were very light, but her speed was very fast. She went straight to a computer in the corner of the studio. Just now, when Li Chengqian was talking about brainwave coding technology, he had vaguely glanced over here. Anyone else would have missed that. However, she was a commercial spy who had undergone professional training. Based on her professional judgment, the brainwave coding technology was definitely in this computer. Coincidentally, the computer was on. There was only one folder on the desktop. Its name was Mental Coding Technology. In order to play safe, Zhang Tianling opened the document and started reading. There are four files in the folder. Technical description of Mental Coding! Mental Coding with alphabets! Mental Coding with numbers! Mental Coding with Chinese characters! ¡°This is it!¡± After seeing these documents, Zhang Tianling was so excited that her body trembled slightly. She quickly copied the entire folder into her special memory. Because the document was especially large, the copying took an hour. Zhang Tianling was even more certain that the document in this folder was the target of this mission, the brainwave coding technology! During the copying process, in order not to be suspected by Li Chengqian, Zhang Tianling took the initiative to go over to the sofa and sit beside Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even open his eyes. Amidst Zhang Tianling¡¯s scream, he hugged Zhang Tianling. Li Chengqian¡¯s hands started roaming again. However, the information was still being copied. Zhang Tianling was afraid that Li Chengqian would suddenly wake up and discover her actions. Even if Li Chengqian carried her over and took advantage of her again, she could only endure it. ¡°This bastard. He is taking advantage of me even when he is sleeping. Serves him right for letting me take away the brainwave coding technology! Take it as compensation for me!¡± Zhang Tianling cursed in her heart and quietly pulled out her memory stick. Then, she quickly walked out of the studio. ¡°When you hear that the Sunset Empire has also developed the same technology, I wonder if you will regret what happened today.¡± Zhang Tianling became more and more smug. She imagined Li Chengqian jumping in anger after hearing the news. She felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart. The moment Zhang Tianling walked out of the studio, Li Chengqian, who was lying on the sofa, sat up with a smile. ¡°I hope that you won¡¯t hate me after you find out the truth!¡± The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s mouth revealed a cold smile. Everything that happened today was planned by him! Whether it was his seemingly unintentional gaze, his drunkenness, or everything that happened during his interaction with Zhang Tianling, it was all planned by him. There was only one purpose for all of this, and that was to gain Zhang Tianling¡¯s trust. ¡°Windows, Apple, Google. As long as you start studying this code, I can obtain the real address of your company.¡± ¡°You want my brainwave coding technology. Coincidentally, I also want to take a look at the software source code in your company!¡± These three companies were all giants in the software industry and had accumulated a lot of advanced technology and software. Of course, with Li Chengqian¡¯s skills and techniques, as long as he spent time, he could achieve them one by one! However, Li Chengqian could save a lot of time if he could obtain the ready-made source code and optimize it. At the same time, after obtaining the source code of the three companies, it was very easy for Li Chengqian and the AI, Bai Ze, to find loopholes in the source code. Li Chengqian was prepared to give them a hard time. ¡°You guys keep saying that the Divine Dragon System is not safe!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll show the world how fragile the Windows, Apple and Google systems are.¡± How could he not pay back an eye for an eye? Li Chengqian was prepared to not care about morals and ethics this time and give the three companies a hard beating. He would teach these companies a good lesson. Chapter 169 - 169 Waiting 1 169 Waiting 1 ¡°President Li, we paid 120 million yuan in compensation yesterday! We lost 80 million yuan!¡± Early the next morning, Huang Ting came to Li Chengqian¡¯s studio with a puzzled expression. The factory in the small desert was already operating normally. Li Chengqian had a large number of brainwave receivers in his hands yesterday. There was no need for compensation at all. He could have shipped them. With this 120 million yuan paid out, the company immediately lost 80 million yuan! Eighty million yuan was an astronomical amount. ¡°President Huang, don¡¯t be anxious. Take a seat first!¡± Li Chengqian smiled and said, but he still didn¡¯t explain why he did this. Some things are best kept to himself, so as to minimize the risk of any unforeseen circumstances. ¡°How many brainwave receivers did the factory produce yesterday?¡± ¡°Eighty thousand units! The estimated production today is also 80,000 units.¡± Huang Ting reported the production yesterday and the estimated production today. ¡°The automated production control program is very smart and advanced, and it¡¯s also very stable!¡± When Huang Ting spoke of the smart factory, his eyes were filled with disbelief. This was because the entire production process was very smart and efficient. When it was activated, there were basically no malfunctions. Moreover, when the stock of raw materials fell to a certain extent, it would automatically send a prompt as well. After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded. Then, he began to make arrangements. ¡°We still have 180,000 orders to deliver.¡± ¡°How about this? From today onwards, the delivery situation will return to normal.¡± ¡°However, we have to control the quantity. We will only fulfill the orders that are due. We will absolutely not deliver in advance.¡± Zhang Tianling had just taken away the fake brainwave coding technology information. If Li Chengqian immediately restored the normal supply of goods, even a fool would realize that there was a problem. He had to put on a good show. Huang Ting nodded. Although he still didn¡¯t understand Li Chengqian¡¯s actions, he would definitely follow Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions. This was what President He had told him when he joined the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Also, have you paid out the 120 million yuan compensation claim yesterday?¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and continued to ask. ¡°Yes, all the compensation has been paid out. The money has been returned to the claimant¡¯s account.¡± Speaking of this, Huang Ting felt the pinch. ¡°How about this? Announce yesterday¡¯s compensation in the company¡¯s name and attach a compensation record.¡± ¡°I want to use this matter to establish the business credibility of the Divine Dragon Software Company! I want to establish a thought in everyone¡¯s hearts. The Divine Dragon Software Company is an honest company. We are good for our word.¡± Although the 120 million yuan compensation was a huge sum, this money was not spent in vain. As long as he could establish the reputation of the Divine Dragon Software Company, it was worth spending 120 million yuan to buy the users¡¯ trust and the Company¡¯s credibility. ¡°In addition, make another announcement. All the accounts that have filed a claim against the Divine Dragon Software Company this time, be it companies or individuals, will not be able to use any services provided by the Company in the future!¡± Although Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care about 120 million, he had a grudge in his heart. This was daylight robbery! ¡°The Divine Dragon System, the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System, the brainwave receiver, and the brainwave coding technology. They won¡¯t be allowed to use any technology released by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± They cannot expect to use the Divine Dragon System that he had developed for free after taking his money. There is no free lunch! ¡°Alright, President Li!¡± Huang Ting nodded. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing I need to report to you. Over the past few days, the company¡¯s accounts have been receiving all kinds of funds. The total amount is about three million yuan! We¡¯ve verified that these are donations! Most of the money came from ordinary people. The messages that came with the fund transfer were something along the lines of ¡°we will always support you¡± and ¡°don¡¯t give up¡± and so on. ¡± Huang Ting was visibly moved when he said this. Li Chengqian was also very touched when he heard that. ¡°I understand. Get the finance department to tabulate the donor¡¯s information. Don¡¯t miss a single one!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let them suffer!¡± ¡°For those who sincerely support us, we will definitely reward them handsomely.¡± However, now was not the time. Rewards could not be given until the core assets of the three companies¡¯ operating systems were in hand. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Because of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, I need to go to Dragon City for a period of time. Help me keep an eye on the company while I¡¯m away.¡± Li Chengqian instructed. ¡°President Li, with your skills, participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is completely bullying. That¡¯s not very good, right?¡± Huang Ting¡¯s words translated into, ¡°Do you still have any shame? Is it fun to bully children?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand! I have to participate.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. He had to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition because he wanted to send Ding Ling to Divine Dragon University! That was Ding Ling¡¯s dream school. Li Chengqian had to help her fulfill this wish. ¡°Alright, this might be the most depressing Junior Informatics Programming Competition! Because there¡¯s no doubt that the first place will be yours,¡± Huang Ting said jokingly. ¡°Your teammates are really too lucky. Being in the same team as you is like a walkover! You can go to Divine Dragon University with your eyes closed. If I had known you in the past, I would have paid to have my son join your team,¡± Huang Ting said enviously. Chapter 170 - 170 Waiting 2 170 Waiting 2 ¡°I also think that those who can form a team with me are very lucky!¡± Li Chengqian also replied jokingly. Meanwhile, Zhang Tianling set off overnight and spent a lot of money to get the next flight back to the Sunset Empire. After getting off the plane, Zhang Tianling was in no hurry to contact her masters. She took a good, long sleep, and woke up refreshed, totally rid of the exhaustion of the past few days. Then, she got up from the bed lazily. ¡°I actually dreamed of that disgusting, repulsive guy!¡± Zhang Tianling frowned. She felt that she needed to have a good trip after this mission has ended so as to recover from the trauma. Zhang Tianling took out her computer and went to the homepage of the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°As of today, Divine Dragon Software will cease all services to users who made a compensation claim.¡± ¡°The 120 million yuan compensation for the delayed shipment has been settled in full!¡± ¡°From today onwards, the brainwave receivers will begin to ship normally.¡± ¡°Normal delivery? This is a stalling tactic, right?¡± Zhang Tianling had been at the Divine Dragon Software Company for a few days and had not heard any news. As far as she knew, there was not a single brainwave receiver left. Hence, she determined that the contents of this announcement were fake. ¡°How pitiful. Li Chengqian is about to go bankrupt!¡± Zhang Tianling had a bright smile on her face. There was a hint of pity there, but it was more like she was gloating. Actually, she couldn¡¯t bear to see him like this, but she quickly suppressed that thought. Unfortunately, she had obtained the brainwave coding technology. Soon, the brainwave coding technology was no longer the exclusive technology of Divine Dragon Software. Therefore, Li Chengqian¡¯s bankruptcy this time was almost guaranteed. ¡°When he goes bankrupt, if there¡¯s a chance to meet him, I¡¯ll give him a few hundred yuan for food.¡± Zhang Tianling shook her head and suppressed the trace of guilt in her heart. Then, she closed the official webpage of the Divine Dragon Software Company. She then opened a very special software. It was a website that didn¡¯t leave any traces on the internet. Chat records disappeared immediately after the other party read them. It was very safe, so her mission exchanges were all conducted through this software. ¡°I¡¯ve got it! The documents in the folder are like diagrams! I think this is the brainwave coding technology you need the most!¡± Zhang Tianling took a photo of the documents in the folder and sent it over. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. That¡¯s it. I need it!¡± The other party sounded very excited. ¡°Send me the information!¡± ¡°Quick, I can¡¯t wait to see how the damn Divine Dragon Software encodes brainwaves.¡± When Zhang Tianling saw the message from the other party, she had a charming smile on her face. She raised her cup of coffee and took a sip before replying slowly. ¡°Brainwave coding technology is the core competitiveness of the Divine Dragon Software Company. It¡¯s a technology unique to Divine Dragon Software. This is an advanced technology that can defeat all of you! It¡¯s worth at least 1 trillion.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve sacrificed a lot for this mission!¡± ¡°Up the price! You need to up the price!¡± ¡°Increase the commission from 100 million to 200 million. You still have to pay me the remaining 150 million!¡± ¡°F*ck, we agreed on the price in advance. How can you increase the price at the last minute! You are not keeping your word!¡± The other party was furious. ¡°If you don¡¯t need this information, I think your competitors, IBM, Oracle, and other companies will be very interested in this information. The price they offer might be more than 200 million.¡± Zhang Tianling sneered and sent a message. ¡°Stop this dangerous behavior, ma¡¯am!¡± ¡°It won¡¯t do you any good to upset us!¡± ¡°You should know that this won¡¯t end well if you offend us!¡± ¡°The price is negotiable!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m willing to raise the price to 200 million!¡± In the end, Satia compromised. He needed this technology too badly. Without this technology, Divine Dragon Software would soon surpass Windows. ¡°Send the funds to the anonymous account I provided previously. After the money is transferred, I will upload the information to your designated cyberspace.¡± Zhang Tianling knew when to stop and didn¡¯t dare to push the three giants too hard. If these three companies were just ordinary companies, she would have already sold the information to IBM and the other companies! Soon, the funds were transferred to her account. Zhang Tianling uploaded the information in her memory to the designated location with a smile. On the other side, the three people from Windows, Apple and Google started a video conference again. ¡°This b*tch! She actually raised the price at the last minute! This is too much!¡± Satia cursed. ¡°Just now, Ms. Zhang Tianling said that she sacrificed a lot this time. Could it be that Li Chengqian?¡± Pi Chayi had a look on his face that all men understood. Zhang Tianling was well known for her beauty and capabilities. Her chastity was on par with her beauty. Until now, no one had really enjoyed her body. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. It¡¯s said that she¡¯s still a virgin. Such a good deal has been taken by an oriental!¡± Cook said regretfully. Men were very predictable animals. No matter how old they were, they liked young and beautiful women. Cook had his eyes on the young and beautiful Zhang Tianling, but he had never had the chance. After chatting for a while, the conversation shifted to the brainwave coding technology. Chapter 171 - 171 Waiting 3 171 Waiting 3 ¡°After hacking the brainwave coding technology, the three of us will jointly set up a new company. We will form a brainwave coding technology alliance and set the standards for brainwave coding technology. We also completely eliminate the Divine Dragon Software Company from this industry.¡± ¡°The new company will run the brainwave coding technology!¡± ¡°New technology represents huge profits! This is a brand new field, a market that can last for hundreds of years! Only the three of us together have the ability to occupy this market, just like us in the operating systems field.¡± ¡°Cheers to our collaboration!¡± ¡°However, there are two problems that need to be resolved. The first problem is that we need to analyze the brainwave coding technology first. ¡°The second problem is that we need to defeat the Divine Dragon Software!¡± The three of them were already discussing the details of their collaboration. ¡°Alright, friends, the brainwave coding technology has been successfully uploaded!¡± At this moment, the three of them received a notification. Then, they stopped chatting in tacit understanding. The scientists who had long been on standby began to make preliminary judgments and analyze the brainwave coding technology. The three companies would definitely collaborate in brainwave coding technology, but how much of the market they could each occupy depended on their own abilities. At the same time, in Li Chengqian¡¯s studio, lines of text kept appearing on the big screen. [The Bai Ze sub-program has been successfully activated.] [You have obtained the real online location of Windows, Apple and Google] [The virtual computer system has been successfully generated. The virtual computer system has been successfully switched. The target computer has been switched to a virtual computer.] The function of a virtual computer was very simple. It was to hide the real computer and let the user use the virtual one. The virtual computer was what he wanted the user to see. All the data the user obtained from the virtual computer was actually fake. It was all a deception. Once the virtual computer system was activated, it was equivalent to obtaining complete control of the other party¡¯s computer. As long as he did not take the initiative to expose himself, the other party would never discover that he was being controlled. [Starting data scan of all equipment in the target network.] [Current scanning progress: 0.00015%. Estimated completion of the data scanning and analysis in 436 days.] [Supercomputer discovered Acquired control authority successfully!] [Scanning speed increased Estimated completion of the data scanning and analysis in 2 days.] ¡°Great, that¡¯s great!¡± ¡°No matter how well you hide, you won¡¯t be able to escape from me! I¡¯ve finally found your nest!¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you been targeting me? It¡¯s impolite not to reciprocate. This time, I want to give it back to you in a big way.¡± ¡°This time, I have to thank Zhang Tianling properly. Not only did I take advantage of her, but she also helped me send Bai Ze¡¯s sub-program software to the three big companies.¡± This wouldn¡¯t have been possible without Zhang Tianling. Bai Ze had already obtained the highest authority on the public websites and servers of the three companies. However, these servers were all ordinary items. The core assets of the three companies were not among them. ¡°When the three companies, Windows, Apple, and Google realize what is going on, Zhang Tianling will be in big trouble this time.¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. At that time, the three companies would definitely tear Zhang Tianling into pieces. ¡°We still have to wait two more days. That¡¯s the moment of harvest! That¡¯s the moment when the Divine Dragon Software Company can go all out.¡± In order to fool the three operating system companies, Divine Dragon Software could only keep a low profile until it had completely obtained the core assets of the three companies. He needed to keep up with the act. The factory could not be made public, and the news that there were enough brainwave receivers could not be released. Even news that production has resumed for the Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phones couldn¡¯t be released. This was to prevent the three companies from noticing anything amiss. ¡°Currently, the production capacity issue of the Divine Dragon Software Company has been resolved!¡± ¡°The production capacity of the mobile phones has also been resolved! Production will commence soon.¡± ¡°The Sunset Empire¡¯s targeted suppression this time has basically failed.¡± ¡°The only problem now is that there are rumors on the internet that I¡¯m going bankrupt! Many verified Weibo accounts are leading the way in criticizing the Divine Dragon Software Company! Especially ¡®Sweet Overseas¡¯, he organized the people to make compensation claims, hyped up the topic, and guided the users! It¡¯s very annoying.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t do anything else for the time being, but there¡¯s no problem dealing with this dog. Just treat it as collecting some interest first.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. He had already investigated thoroughly. The person behind the verified account ¡°Overseas Sweetness¡± was really called Wu Shudian. Chapter 172 - 172 You are Under Arrest 172 You are Under Arrest ¡°Thank you, the great Windows, for giving us this opportunity to make money.¡± Wu Shudian looked at the balance in his bank card again with a smile on his face. He had previously ordered two brainwave receivers for the company. He had filed a compensation claim on one of them. According to Windows¡¯ incentive policy, he only needed to return the principal to the company. The 200,000 yuan he obtained from the claim was his. ¡°Today¡¯s order for the other brainwave receiver will also expire at noon. I can file for compensation again. The Divine Dragon Software Company would have to compensate me 200,000 yuan. Awesome!¡± Thinking of this, Wu Shudian became excited. Then, he opened the work group and began to dispatch work. ¡°Colleagues, our work has been very effective. The Divine Dragon Software Company has already suffered a huge loss.¡± ¡°Today, we will continue to guide users on the internet and lead them to claim compensation with us!¡± ¡°As long as our work goes smoothly today, the Divine Dragon Software Company will definitely collapse soon. After we have achieved our strategic goal, our bonus this year will definitely be very generous.¡± ¡°Everyone, gather the information on the claims and send it to the post today to prove that what we said yesterday is true.¡± ¡°Tell everyone that they can get 200,000 yuan just by moving their fingers! I don¡¯t think anyone will refuse a legal income of 200,000 yuan.¡± At this moment, a person called Old K in the work group spoke. ¡°President Wu, Divine Dragon Software¡¯s compensation of 120 million yuan in a day is already trending. There¡¯s no need for us to post it at all.¡± ¡°At the same time, the Divine Dragon Software Company has announced that the supply of brainwave receivers is back to normal. They will deliver the goods to everyone on time. For example, the orders that are due today will all be delivered today.¡± ¡°In addition, the Divine Dragon Software Company has issued punitive measures. All those who claimed compensation will be blacklisted by the Divine Dragon Software Company. They will not be able to use any products and services provided by the Company in the future. I just tried it. The Divine Dragon System installed on my computer is no longer usable.¡± ¡°I also tested it just now. My phone can¡¯t be used anymore.¡± Wu Shudian became more and more excited because through these situations, he increasingly felt that the Divine Dragon Software Company was on the verge of collapse. ¡°This just proves that Divine Dragon Software has already exhausted all its tricks. Divine Dragon Software has run out of options!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure that the so-called shipment of Divine Dragon Software is just them changing the order status on the website.¡± ¡°As for the so-called blacklist is just a scare tactic. They want to scare people into not filing a compensation claim.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company will go bankrupt soon!¡± ¡°Furthermore, Divine Dragon Software thought that they could stall for time by using a fake shipping method, but in fact, it was a stupid move.¡± ¡°As long as we get the delivery number and go to the corresponding website to check, as long as we confirm that it is a fake shipment, I can destroy the Divine Dragon Software Company in a day!¡± After the fake shipment was exposed, the compensation would be ten times higher. This was one of the reasons. Secondly, after the news of the fake shipment was released, it would deal a fatal blow to the business reputation of the Divine Dragon Software Company. No one would believe in them anymore. Those who had been watching would definitely choose to claim the compensation. If nothing went wrong, the Divine Dragon Software Company would immediately collapse. Thinking of this, Wu Shudian became even more excited. At this moment, Old K suddenly reposted a few chat photos from the internet in the work group. ¡°President Wu, you¡¯re popular now!¡± Wu Shudian frowned. He didn¡¯t like others posting nonsense in the work group, and he didn¡¯t like others posting things that had nothing to do with work. ¡°If I find out after I finish reading that Old K is just spouting nonsense, I¡¯ll definitely tell him off¡± Wu Shudian opened Old K¡¯s message. Immediately, a long picture of a chat log appeared in front of him. When he saw the contents of the chat log, his eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was a chat record where he expressed his loyalty to the company. In the chat record, he had been badmouthing the citizens of the Divine Dragon Country and expressing his love and praise for the Sunset Empire. At the same time, in order to show his loyalty, he even fabricated many false words to slander the government and insult senior officials. Now, this document that he had written in a foreign language was translated into Chinese and published in its entirety. ¡°How is this possible? I was the only one who sent this How could it be exposed!¡± Wu Shudian was completely flustered. He quickly closed the picture and deleted the information that Old K had posted in the group with the authority of the administrator of the work group. ¡°Old K, where did you see this picture?¡± Wu Shudian¡¯s fingers trembled as he typed a line of text. Usually, he could type it in a few seconds, but this time, it took a full minute. ¡°President Wu, you¡¯re famous now. This picture is the top trending topic on Weibo! At least 100 million people in the country know your name.¡± Old K¡¯s voice was filled with mockery and sarcasm. Right on the heels of that, many notifications appeared in the work group. Old K exited the work group. Xiaoli from the sales department exited the work group. The long-legged Wang Yuan exited ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± Wu Shudian was drenched in cold sweat. Endless fear surged in his heart. Hoping against hope, he opened Weibo. When he saw that the number one trending topic on Weibo had become the National Thief Wu Shudian, he was terrified. He was drenched in sweat. ¡°He¡¯s someone who doesn¡¯t even want his ancestors!¡± ¡°This dog, since you think the Sunset Empire is so good, get lost! The Divine Dragon Country doesn¡¯t need a dog like you.¡± ¡°In order to please your foreign father, you fabricated rumors and slandered your country. You¡¯re not worthy of being a human at all.¡± ¡°@Police Department, this person has violated the National Security Laws! Please arrest him.¡± ¡°@Department of State Security, someone has committed treason.¡± ¡°Wu Shudian, people like you will be written on the Pillar of Shame of the Divine Dragon Country. You will be despised by everyone for a hundred years, even a thousand years.¡± ¡°He has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed his country for glory! How can there be such a person!¡± ¡°Garbage, bastard!¡± ¡°Everyone, we must kill this son of a b*tch!¡± ¡°Wu Shudian, that bastard, no wonder he¡¯s called ¡®Sweetness Overseas¡¯!¡± ¡°It was ¡®Sweetness Overseas¡¯ who led the compensation claim against the Divine Dragon Software Company, the technology pillar of the Divine Dragon Country!¡± ¡°This dog is a traitor! He¡¯s deliberately guiding everyone to seek compensation so as to destroy the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± At a glance, every post was criticizing him, every comment was about him. ¡°No, I have to leave immediately. If I don¡¯t leave now, I won¡¯t be able to leave when the people of the Divine Dragon Country react.¡± Wu Shudian panicked and quickly picked up some valuable items before rushing out. ¡°President, there¡¯s a problem on my end. The chat record I sent you appeared on the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s internet. Of course, I¡¯m not saying that you leaked the chat record. I want to ask you for help. I have to leave the Divine Dragon Country immediately, or they will definitely arrest me.¡± Wu Shudian called Satia, his voice filled with fear and anticipation. ¡°Wu Shudian, what are you? Why should I help you? You even betrayed your own country. A person like you is not worthy of any trust. A person like you has always been a dog in my eyes.¡± Satia¡¯s voice was extremely cold. When Wu Shudian heard Satia¡¯s words, he couldn¡¯t believe it and couldn¡¯t accept it. He was dead set on living in the Sunset Empire. He was dead set on contributing to Windows. Regret, fear, and denial. It was even to the extent that his worldview collapsed. ¡°Impossible, impossible! It¡¯s not like this, it¡¯s not like this. You lied to me! You lied to me!¡± Wu Shudian roared. He cried and begged. His voice was no different from a dog abandoned by its master. At this moment, a group of police officers rushed over. Their voices were extremely cold. ¡°Wu Shudian, you are under arrest!¡± Chapter 173 - 173 Back to School 173 Back to School ¡°Principal Wang, Teacher Wang, thank you so much!¡± In Principal Wang¡¯s office, Li Chengqian said as he kept the leave of absence note. His first reason for coming to school was to apply for a leave of absence. Studying in school now was not of much use to him, the value add was too low. ¡°Li Chengqian, there¡¯s no need to thank me. You¡¯re the most outstanding student in Tianyi High School! I¡¯m proud of your achievements! With your results, you really don¡¯t need to stay in the classroom anymore,¡± Wang Jianjia said with a smile. ¡°Li Chengqian, there are conditions attached to your leave of absence. You have to come back and take the university entrance examination! We are counting on you to boost our School¡¯s ranking this year,¡± Principal Wang said with a smile. ¡°Also, on behalf of the entire school, I thank you for your donation of 100 brainwave receivers. Our school is definitely the first school to have so many brainwave receivers!¡± At this point, Principal Wang¡¯s face was filled with excitement. He looked at Li Chengqian with adoration. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t come empty-handed when he came to apply for leave. He donated 100 sets of brainwave receivers and matching computer facilities to the school! Based on the current price of the brainwave receivers, this was a donation of ten million yuan. ¡°Li Chengqian, why don¡¯t you reconsider my suggestion just now? How about we organize a donation ceremony for the entire school¡¯s teachers and students?¡± Principal Wang¡¯s original plan was for Li Chengqian to give a speech at the ceremony, but Li Chengqian declined to do so. ¡°Yeah, say a few words to motivate your juniors to study hard.¡± Wang Jianjia also suggested. ¡°Principal, Teacher, there¡¯s really no need!¡± Li Chengqian hurriedly shook his head and refused. ¡°I still have to pack my things. I will take my leave now.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and quickly disappeared from the Principal¡¯s office. ¡°If only I had such a child!¡± Principal Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with envy and longing. ¡°When Li Chengqian first came to look for me, I thought that he came to apply to quit school. With his current reputation and wealth, there¡¯s no need for him to take the university entrance examination at all. I didn¡¯t expect that Li Chengqian actually came to apply for leave.¡± Principal Wang¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. If he were the one to have achieved Li Chengqian¡¯s current achievements, he would definitely not spend another day in school. If he had so much money, why wouldn¡¯t he just enjoy life? Why would he still have to study and learn? ¡°That¡¯s right. No one at Li Chengqian¡¯s age would be like him, to achieve his current results and yet stay so grounded,¡± Wang Jianjia added. Coming out of the principal¡¯s office, Li Chengqian met up with Ding Ling, who had been waiting for him. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards Grade 12 Class 5. Ding Ling was like a happy little elf, chattering with Li Chengqian. She wished she could tell Li Chengqian everything that had happened in the past few days. ¡°Li Chengqian, I saw all the comments on the internet. Everyone said that Divine Dragon Software is going bankrupt. Is it really fine now?¡± Ding Ling¡¯s voice was filled with worry. Originally, when she saw Li Chengqian, she wanted to ask this question, but she was afraid that if she asked, it would make Li Chengqian sad, so she had been holding back. ¡°If something happens to the Divine Dragon Software Company, you should forget about the Junior Informatics Programming Competition! You should focus on handling the Company matters. This is the most important to you.¡± ¡°Your programming ability has already been recognized by everyone. You don¡¯t need to use the Junior Informatics Programming Competition to prove anything to people,¡± Ding Ling said sincerely. She was afraid that this competition would affect Li Chengqian¡¯s other matters. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine now!¡± Li Chengqian nodded confidently. ¡°Also, although I don¡¯t need to prove anything to anyone with the results of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, you need the results of this competition.¡± ¡°I know you¡¯ve always wanted to go to Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still very confident that I can help you fulfill your dream to enter Divine Dragon University,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. After Ding Ling heard this, she fully understood the reason why Li Chengqian insisted on going to Dragon City to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. It was to fulfill her wish. It was to help her gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University. Girls are sentimental creatures. She was extremely moved, and the way she looked at Li Chengqian became even more loving. If this wasn¡¯t the school, she would definitely throw herself into Li Chengqian¡¯s arms and hold him tightly. ¡°Li Chengqian, why are you so kind to me?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re the girl I like! When I have the ability to fulfill your wish, I¡¯ll definitely do so.¡± Li Chengqian smiled very happily. In his previous life, everyone despised him and treated him coldly. Only Ding Ling stood by him. When everyone looked down on him, only Ding Ling still liked him. Even when Ding Ling was shining brightly, Ding Ling still didn¡¯t forget him. She never changed how she felt about him. In this life, Li Chengqian naturally wouldn¡¯t let Ding Ling suffer. Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s straightforward words, Ding Ling¡¯s face turned red to the tips of her ears. Her heart raced and she became flustered. However, she didn¡¯t run away just because she was shy. Instead, she blushed and whispered back, ¡°I¡¯ve liked you too for a long time!¡± After making this confession, Ding Ling¡¯s heart beat wildly. She could no longer hold back the shyness in her heart and ran away without saying goodbye. This was the first time in her life that she had said this to a boy. ¡°She looks so cute when she is shy.¡± Li Chengqian was all smiles. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he walked into the classroom of Grade 12 Class 5. ¡°Li Chengqian? Damn, everyone, come and take a look. Li Chengqian is back!¡± At the door, a classmate saw Li Chengqian walking over. At first, he thought that he was mistaken, but when he looked carefully again and confirmed that it was Li Chengqian, he shouted excitedly. ¡°Awesome Li is back? What¡¯s he doing here? Is he going to attend class with us?¡± someone asked in confusion. ¡°How is that possible? With Li Chengqian¡¯s wealth, how could he come back to study? If you had 100 million, would you still come back to study?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to talk to Li Chengqian later and get to know him. After I graduate from university, I¡¯ll go to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Li Chengqian would give me a job.¡± ¡°In the past, I was blind and didn¡¯t realize that Li Chengqian was so powerful. If I had known that he was so powerful, I would definitely have built a good relationship with him!¡± Someone was very vexed. ¡°The most unfortunate one is Jian Qingli. I heard that Li Chengqian used to like Jian Qingli very much. Unfortunately, Jian Qingli has always despised him and thinks that he was not worthy of her,¡± someone said softly. ¡°I heard that Li Chengqian invited Jian Qingli three times to form a team with him to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, but she turned him down. Moreover Jian Qingli even said a lot of mean things when she rejected him,¡± someone who knew the situation said softly. ¡°What a pity! If Jian Qingli didn¡¯t reject Li Chengqian back then and chose to be with him her life would be different now.¡± ¡°Even if she didn¡¯t choose to be with Li Chengqian, as long as she agrees to form a team with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian will bring her to participate in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. She will definitely enter the top 50 of the competition and will immediately obtain direct admission to Divine Dragon University. Jian Qingli has really suffered a huge loss this time!¡± ¡°I heard that Jian Qingli has been crying every day recently. Didn¡¯t you notice? Her eyes are red and swollen every day.¡± ¡°Jian Qingli is too mercenary. She asked for it.¡± ¡°After Li Chengqian became successful overnight, the person who suffered the most was Jian Qingli!¡± ¡°Keep your voices down. Don¡¯t let Jian Qingli hear you.¡± ¡°Jian Qingli must be very regretful, right? If she had gotten together with Li Chengqian in the past, she would immediately be able to live the life she dreamed of. What Li Chengqian could give her was something she couldn¡¯t earn even if she worked hard for ten lifetimes!¡± Although everyone spoke softly, Jian Qingli heard them loud and clear. She lowered her head and tears streamed down her face. She was extremely regretful. Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion, Li Chengqian walked into the classroom. Everyone smiled and greeted him. Everyone was very warm to him. Chapter 174 - 174 Goodbye, Poor Thing 174 Goodbye, Poor Thing After entering the classroom, Li Chengqian quickly put away his personal belongings in his bag. As he was packing, Jian Qingli stood up without saying a word. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, but she was taking the initiative to help Li Chengqian pack his things. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t turn her down. Soon, Li Chengqian was done packing. Then, he carried his things and was about to leave. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you still coming back?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was trembling with anticipation. ¡°I¡¯m not coming back. I¡¯ve already applied for a long leave of absence. I¡¯ll only come back when the university entrance examination begins,¡± Li Chengqian replied with a smile. Although she had already guessed the outcome, Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes immediately dimmed a lot. Originally, she was still looking forward to Li Chengqian¡¯s return to class. She could use her proximity as his deskmate to improve their relationship. Now that Li Chengqian had packed his things and was leaving, she won¡¯t even have this last chance to try. ¡°I I¡¯ll walk you out. After all, we¡¯ve been deskmates for three years.¡± An awkward, bitter smile on Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful face. ¡°Sure!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t turn her down. She was trying to tell Li Chengqian that she had already changed. She was also willing to change for Li Chengqian. ¡°Yes, we have moved!¡± Li Chengqian replied indifferently, but he didn¡¯t respond to anything else. ¡°Li Chengqian, you haven¡¯t forgiven me. You still hate me, right?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice sounded even more pitiful, as if she was begging. ¡°I¡¯ve never blamed you, and I¡¯ve never hated you.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. When he had just been reborn, he only felt that Jian Qingli¡¯s ending was very pitiful and wanted to help her. Perhaps he did fantasize about Jian Qingli in his previous life. However, Jian Qingli¡¯s subsequent actions completely shattered his fantasy of her. ¡°Li Chengqian, I know that you must blame me. You must think that I¡¯m a snob and that I¡¯m a materialistic and realistic woman. Before you revealed your talent, I ignored you. Now that you are successful, I¡¯m trying to get close to you again.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s tone was desolate. Li Chengqian took a long look at Jian Qingli. He had a whole new level of respect for her. It was hard for him to imagine that Jian Qingli would actually be so honest. ¡°Also, my mother has always been very snobbish. She likes to compare herself to others and she loves to show off. I know that many people look down on me and my mother,¡± Jian Qingli said. Actually, there were a lot of things that she had been holding in for 18 years. She really wanted to find someone to confide in, but there had never been a suitable person or a suitable opportunity for her to say these words. ¡°Li Chengqian, do you know why?¡± Jian Qingli asked self-deprecatingly. ¡°Why?¡± Li Chengqian was also very curious. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he felt that Jian Qingli¡¯s mother acted weirdly and was very snobbish. ¡°Because my mother is my father¡¯s mistress! She is a kept woman!¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s tone became even more desolate. ¡°I was born out of wedlock.¡± ¡°Originally, if I were a boy, my father might have brought us back and made us legitimate.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m a girl and not a boy as my father desired. So for many years, we appeared to have a family, but in fact, we didn¡¯t.¡± At this point, tears rolled down Jian Qingli¡¯s face. ¡°My mother has a low self-esteem. She¡¯s afraid of others talking about her, and she¡¯s also afraid that others will look down on her when they find out about this. So, she over compensates by showing anything good that she has, so that everyone will envy her.¡± ¡°As long as there¡¯s anything good about others, she¡¯ll compare herself to them. Only in this way can she feel at ease, and this is how she constantly comforts herself that she made the right choice to be my father¡¯s mistress back then.¡± ¡°My mother was afraid I¡¯d go down her path. She wanted me to be happy.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why she kept telling me her principles. I have to choose a man with strong capabilities and good potential if I want to live a good life. Besides being capable myself, I have to find a capable husband.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, this is my secret, and also the most embarrassing thing for me. Please keep it a secret for me.¡± ¡°Although I hate my father, and although he didn¡¯t take care of me for a day like a normal father, he has been financially supporting my mother and I. We can¡¯t survive without him.¡± At this point, Jian Qingli smiled, but it was a sad, bitter smile. Actually, she had wanted to share this with someone for a long time, but she didn¡¯t dare to, so she had been suppressing it in her heart. After confiding in Li Chengqian, she felt much lighter. ¡°I see, I understand! Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell anyone.¡± After Li Chengqian heard Jian Qingli¡¯s words, he finally understood why Jian Qingli¡¯s mother was so strange. Everything stemmed from her inferiority complex. At the same time, he also understood why Jian Qingli¡¯s personality was like that. Li Chengqian looked at the teary Jian Qingli and felt sorry for her that she was born into such a family. Hence, his tone towards Jian Qingli became gentler. ¡°Jian Qingli, I didn¡¯t expect your experience to be like this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really pitiful.¡± ¡°However, a person¡¯s birth and early life experience does not determine his future or achievements.¡± ¡°If you work hard, things might be different.¡± ¡°I hope you don¡¯t give up.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m leaving. Goodbye.¡± However, he spoke with a gentler tone this time. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. He turned around and walked out of the school gate. Outside the gate, there was a car waiting for Li Chengqian. ¡°Goodbye, Li Chengqian.¡± Jian Qingli could no longer suppress her emotions and her tears fell uncontrollably. With disappointment, regret and reluctance, she watched the car pull away. She knew that this was very likely the last time she and Li Chengqian would ever meet. Because they were already people from two different worlds. Li Chengqian was successful and in a different league, while she was still struggling for the future. After a long time, Jian Qingli wiped her tears and walked into the classroom in a daze. ¡°Li Chengqian should still be participating in the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. He promised Ding Ling that he would help her gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University via this competition.¡± In the past, when Jian Qingli heard Li Chengqian say these words, she only felt that he was bragging, and he was bragging to attract her attention. At that time, she even felt that Li Chengqian was a little funny. Now that she looked back at what Li Chengqian had said, everything he said was the truth! Li Chengqian had done everything he said he would do! In the end, the joke was not on Li Chengqian, but on herself. Jian Qingli said self-deprecatingly, ¡°In the end, I¡¯m the real clown.¡± Looking at the direction Li Chengqian left in, Jian Qingli was still unwilling to accept the fact. ¡°Perhaps Li Chengqian and I can still meet again. Perhaps I still have a chance. One last chance.¡± ¡°I must seize this opportunity,¡± ¡°Even if he doesn¡¯t like me after the incident and doesn¡¯t accept me!!¡± ¡°I still want to give it a try.¡± ¡°A woman¡¯s most precious gift, rather than giving it to a mediocre person. I¡¯d rather give it to him.¡± Jian Qingli seemed to have thought of something and blushed. Chapter 175 - 175 Fake Excitement 175 Fake Excitement In a hotel in Dragon City, Li Chengqian was lying on the bed. The television had already been controlled by Bai Ze. ¡°Reporting to Master, the scanning of the core assets of Windows, Apple and Oracle¡¯s servers has been completed.¡± ¡°The first class of assets are digital currency assets. At the current market price, they are worth 54.7 billion yuan. Windows¡¯ assets are worth 21 billion yuan. Apple¡¯ assets are worth 15.7 billion yuan. Google¡¯s assets are worth 19 billion yuan.¡± ¡°The second class of assets are software source codes. We have obtained the Windows system source codes, Office software source codes Apple system source codes, Google search algorithm source codes, and other related software source codes for a total of 3,574 items.¡± ¡°The third class of assets are cash assets. We have obtained information on 134 anonymous bank accounts involving funds of 16.8 billion yuan.¡± Li Chengqian smiled when he saw the message sent by Bai Ze. ¡°It¡¯s impolite not to reciprocate. It¡¯s my turn this time.¡± During this period of time, he had been forced to make brainwave receivers by hand. If not for the Master of All Professions game, he would definitely have been forced into a corner this time. The Divine Dragon Software Company would definitely have gone bankrupt. The best outcome would be that the technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company would be returned to the country, and the country would help pay off the debts. As for Li Chengqian, he would lose everything. ¡°Bai Ze, copy all the source codes of these software for me.¡± Li Chengqian said without any hesitation after he had carefully checked the list of software source codes. If not for the fact that he was afraid that the other party would find out, he would have asked Bai Ze to cut-over the source code directly. He would love to see the look on their faces when the three companies discovered that all their decades of hard work had disappeared. ¡°Be careful during the process of copying the data. Don¡¯t let them suspect anything.¡± Li Chengqian instructed worriedly. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Copying source codes, work in progress, beginning copying of source codes, 0.01%¡± ¡°Estimated replication time is 36 hours.¡± ¡°It will take 36 hours. That¡¯s quite a long time.¡± Li Chengqian frowned. He thought for a moment and instructed, ¡°How about this? Copy the most important projects first. Leave the dispensable projects for later.¡± This would take too long. With the technical strength of the three companies, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn¡¯t be discovered. Although Li Chengqian was very confident in Bai Ze, he was not blindly confident. ¡®What if?¡¯ ¡°Once the other party shows any signs of detection, immediately transfer the virtual currencies of the three companies over and also transfer the funds from the anonymous accounts of the three companies over.¡± The total value of these two items was more than 70 billion yuan! ¡°Take this money as interest.¡± Li Chengqian sneered. Since they dared to target him, they had to be prepared for his retaliation. They had to be prepared to be dealt a blow by him. ¡°By the way, did the three companies discover any abnormalities?¡± Li Chengqian asked curiously. Bai Ze¡¯s emotionless voice sounded. ¡°No!¡± ¡°They¡¯re still very happy because they obtained the brainwave coding technology.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the document that Zhang Tianling brought back to them was actually useless. They used this document as a foundation to conduct experiments.¡± ¡°They¡¯re looking at what we want to show them on the virtual computer.¡± ¡°So, they¡¯re very excited now.¡± ¡°They thought that they had already grasped the future.¡± After listening to Bai Ze¡¯s report, the smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face became even more intense. ¡°I wonder if they¡¯ll still be excited when they know the truth and that they¡¯ve become nothing.¡± Meanwhile, somewhere else overseas. Windows, Apple and Google scientists worked day and night to hack the brainwave coding technology. In the beginning, they wanted to hack the brainwave coding technology and master the principles of the technology. Unfortunately, this was too difficult. It was not something that could be done in a short time. In order to make the overseas version of the brainwave receiver available as soon as possible, the executives of the three companies asked them to put aside their understanding of the principles of technology. They asked that they produce the product first! Scientists found that it was easy to create a brainwave receiver. They only needed to input the brainwaves into the brainwave coding technology document and the correct text would be output. It didn¡¯t take much effort at all. It was unbelievably easy. The brainwave coding technology was effective in the Windows system, the Apple system, and the Google system. Moreover, it could be used normally! After experimenting, it was found to be functioning well! After brainwave coding was built into the Windows system, the brainwave receiver produced by Divine Dragon Software could be used to quickly input information. Although it couldn¡¯t reach the 100% accuracy rate of the Divine Dragon System, and the input speed was only about 600 characters per minute instead of the average input speed of 6,000 characters per minute in the Divine Dragon System, it was still much more advanced than keyboard input. The efficiency of brainwave coding technology was about the same on the Apple system. The only problem was that they had no idea how to analyze the principles of brainwave coding technology. If not for the fact that this document could really convert brainwaves into text and input it into the computer, the scientists would have doubted its authenticity. It was completely incomprehensible and without any logic. Every piece of data was confusing. It looked like it was fake! But it could indeed analyze brainwaves! In fact, the ability to analyze brain waves was entirely thanks to Bai Ze and the virtual computer system. This document was fake to begin with. It was a lie. It would be strange if these scientists could really analyze anything from it. ¡°It could be because we don¡¯t know much about this field.¡± Scientists could only think this way and then cluelessly throw themselves into research. At the three companies¡¯ daily meeting, Satia¡¯s voice was invigorated. ¡°Friends, we¡¯re on the right path!¡± ¡°Although there¡¯s a small problem with the brainwave coding technology now, with the technical strength of our three companies, we can definitely solve this problem.¡± ¡°Brainwave coding technology is difficult to understand! It¡¯s difficult to analyze!¡± ¡°After we solve this little problem, this market will be ours.¡± Pi Chayi continued from where Satia stopped and said happily, ¡°Actually, even if this problem isn¡¯t resolved, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°We can take our time to solve the problem of us not understanding the principle. In any case, it won¡¯t affect our usage.¡± ¡°Although there are some flaws in the identification rate and input speed, it won¡¯t affect its usage.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s plan is indeed perfect, but stupidly, they gave up on the overseas market. He doesn¡¯t supply to any companies or individuals overseas.¡± ¡°If any overseas company wants to use the advanced and modern brainwave input method, they can only choose our plan. They have no other choice.¡± ¡°If our plan improves, we can upgrade the products released now and earn money. This is a mature business model. Why not adopt it?¡± At this moment, Cook continued, ¡°Pi Chayi¡¯s suggestion is not bad.¡± ¡°Through continuous product iterations, it can bring us huge profits. After obtaining a large amount of profits, it can support us in the development of new technologies. This is the healthiest business model.¡± ¡°I also agree with Pi Chayi¡¯s suggestion. Start the production of the first generation brainwave receiver immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already asked the engineers. The hardware and production cost of a brainwave receiver only costs 800 yuan! The price of Divine Dragon Software is 200,000 yuan! The Divine Dragon Software Company has raised the price by 250 times! He¡¯s a demon.¡± ¡°I suggest that the brainwave receivers we produce be sold for 100,000 yuan! That way, our products will have a price advantage,¡± Cook suggested excitedly. The secret conference of the three people was projected on the screen in front of Li Chengqian. After obtaining the internal server addresses of three companies, the networks of the three companies had been infiltrated by Bai Ze. Any of their actions would be discovered by Li Chengqian. The secret video link between the three of them naturally couldn¡¯t escape Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Master, look at them. Aren¡¯t they very excited?¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice was cold and emotionless. ¡°Bai Ze, turn off the video. The more excited they are now, the more pain they will feel later,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile, but his eyes became colder and colder. ¡°I must see their expressions when they realize that everything is fake, I think it will be exciting.¡± ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely remind you to take a look.¡± ¡°Alright, follow my arrangements.¡± Chapter 176 - 176 Night Attack 176 Night Attack Outside Li Chengqian¡¯s room, Jian Qingli was extremely nervous. She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind. ¡°A woman will always need a man. Relying on a genius like Li Chengqian is much better than relying on some other mediocre man.¡± At the thought of what would happen later, Jian Qingli¡¯s face turned red. She raised her hand and knocked gently on the door. ¡°Knock, knock, knock!¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice came from the room. ¡°Li Chengqian, it¡¯s me. I have something to tell you.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice trembled as she spoke softly. She was very nervous. ¡°What is it?¡± Li Chengqian opened the door expressionlessly and looked at Jian Qingli. ¡°Li Chengqian, can you let me in? I have something I want to show you in private! I want to give it to you.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was very soft, like a mosquito. ¡°Alright, come in.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t think too much about it and let Jian Qingli into the room. Jian Qingli quickly entered Li Chengqian¡¯s room. Then, she held back her shyness. When Li Chengqian closed the door, she took the initiative to walk to his side and hugged him tightly. Her body directly pressed against Li Chengqian¡¯s body. ¡°Li Chengqian, I like you!¡± ¡°Jian Qingli, don¡¯t do this. I have a girlfriend.¡± Li Chengqian was a hot-blooded youth. He was not a saint. Moreover, because it was summer, he was wearing very thin clothes as it was warm. If this continued, something would happen. ¡°Li Chengqian, I know that I¡¯m not worthy of you!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t expect to marry you! I don¡¯t expect to be your girlfriend either.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful words carried a pitiful tone, like a puppy begging its master not to abandon her. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t pester you in the future, nor will I affect you.¡± ¡°I just want to give my most precious thing, my virginal body, to the person I like. Even if I don¡¯t see him again in the future, I won¡¯t have any regrets!¡± Jian Qingli said humbly. ¡°No matter what happens in the future, no matter if we can be together, I just don¡¯t want to have any regrets now.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s words were unabashed. She meant that Li Chengqian could have his cake and eat it. He could have a wife or girlfriend, and yet have her on the side. Any man, even if he were married, not to mention Li Chengqian, would find it hard to resist such an offer. After hearing Jian Qingli¡¯s desperate words, Li Chengqian was slightly tempted. ¡°Li Chengqian, I really like you. I want to be with you, even if it was secretly.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s voice was filled with deep affection as she looked straight at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian had been restraining himself. After hearing Jian Qingli¡¯s words, he could no longer hold back In the middle of the night, Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful eyes were soft and gentle. She leaned comfortably against Li Chengqian¡¯s chest. There was reluctance in her eyes as she said softly, ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be good for you if others see me coming out of your room at such hours.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say anything and didn¡¯t ask her to stay. This was Li Chengqian¡¯s attitude. Jian Qingli was very smart and naturally knew what Li Chengqian was thinking. Jian Qingli felt a little sour in her heart, but she didn¡¯t say anything. Jian Qingli did not pester him. Instead, she said something to reassure Li Chengqian. ¡°In the future, let¡¯s get along like before.¡± ¡°When there are people around, I won¡¯t expose our relationship I won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Bye.¡± ¡°Go! Have a good rest. Tomorrow is the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Good luck!¡± Under Jian Qingli¡¯s incomparably expectant gaze, Li Chengqian still had no intention of asking her to stay. ¡°Okay!¡± Jian Qingli became even sadder. Especially when it came to the competition. In the past, Li Chengqian had given her a chance to gain direct admission to the best university, the Divine Dragon University. Unfortunately, she had rejected him. Now, it was too late for regrets. Jian Qingli¡¯s heart was filled with reluctance. She slowly walked out of Li Chengqian¡¯s room and carefully walked towards her own room. There was only one thought in her mind. ¡°Even my most precious gift can¡¯t move him.¡± ¡°If only I had believed what Li Chengqian said in the past about taking part in the competition with his team. If I had taken the initiative to be Li Chengqian¡¯s girlfriend, how nice that would be! Perhaps, Ding Ling wouldn¡¯t be in the picture at all.¡± Jian Qingli was filled with regret. When Jian Qingli returned to her room, although she was very tired, she couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She had mixed feelings. Compared to the cold blanket, she wanted to stay in Li Chengqian¡¯s arms more. After Jian Qingli left, Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t sleep either. After he got dressed, he stood in front of the hotel¡¯s full height windows and looked into the distance at the night scene of Dragon City. This incident clearly told Li Chengqian that he had completely changed his fate in his previous life. In his previous life, Jian Qingli wouldn¡¯t even look at him. Because in his previous life, Li Chengqian¡¯s results weren¡¯t good, his family background wasn¡¯t good, and he had neither money nor power. Jian Qingli had never taken Li Chengqian seriously. And in this life, it had completely changed. The Divine Dragon Software Company was thriving, and his technology was recognized by many people. He was no longer short of money! Jian Qingli, who used to despise him, was now However, Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t complacent at all. ¡°All these changes are due to the Master of All Professions game!¡± ¡°Profession is my most important asset.¡± Li Chengqian was very clear-headed. He knew that what Jian Qingli liked was his wealth, his achievements. And all his achievements were obtained through the Master of All Professions game! The Master of All Professions game was a game with a sci-fi background. The Professions that Li Chengqian had taken on so far were only the basic and ordinary Professions in the early stages of the game. Li Chengqian currently didn¡¯t have the qualifications to take up the truly powerful Professions. ¡°Although I have some achievements now, I can¡¯t relax!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t relax until the cosmic warship is developed.¡± When the cosmic warship was developed, Li Chengqian would have the ability to make the final decision. With the protection of the cosmic warship, at least on Earth, Li Chengqian would be absolutely safe. If anyone dared to have any ill intentions towards him, he would destroy them with a single shot! ¡°I remember that in the middle of the Master of All Professions game, other cosmic factions appeared.¡± Actually, what Li Chengqian had been worried about Was aliens. This was because in the middle to late stages of the Master of All Professions game, powerful aliens had appeared. These aliens had very powerful technologies, and they were very hostile. To humans, aliens were a completely different species. Would you treat a nest of ants kindly? Would you treat a group of toads kindly? That was impossible! This was the attitude of aliens towards Earthlings. What if the aliens in the game really appeared in reality The consequences were unimaginable! When Li Chengqian thought of this, he once again felt immense pressure. Chapter 177 - 177 Principal Waiting at the Door 177 Principal Waiting at the Door In the morning, in the hotel restaurant, under Tian Wenming¡¯s organization, everyone gathered for breakfast. ¡°Today is the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. The process of this competition is exactly the same as the preliminaries.¡± Tian Wenming explained the situation today as he ate. ¡°In the morning, it¡¯s the theory test.¡± ¡°In the afternoon, it¡¯s the hands-on programming test.¡± ¡°Everyone can see Li Chengqian¡¯s standard. To be able to develop the operating system, Li Chengqian¡¯s standard is definitely at the academician level.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t say much about him. I think as long as he performs normally, he should have no problem winning the national championship.¡± As he spoke, Tian Wenming¡¯s chubby face was filled with smiles. He couldn¡¯t maintain his deadpan serious look in front of Li Chengqian at all. Although Tian Wenming had not taught Li Chengqian programming at all, and for that matter, he wasn¡¯t good enough to teach Li Chengqian programming at all. But he was Li Chengqian¡¯s instructor after all! Just this alone benefited Tian Wenming in many ways. Ten teachers will be named Outstanding Teacher of the Year in Jinshan Province this year. Because of Li Chengqian, he had already clinched one of the spots. His job grade was also promoted to senior level because he had nurtured a super genius like Li Chengqian. His monthly salary suddenly increased by more than 1,500 yuan. In fact, Principal Wang had already spoken to him about his position once. The next step was to promote him and make him a department head. Wang Jianjia was Li Chengqian¡¯s form teacher. This time, because of Li Chengqian, Principal Wang had already started preparing to make her the vice principal. Now, all the teachers in Grade 12 Class 5 had obtained real benefits because of Li Chengqian. Then, they became the envy of the other teachers. In reality, when he knew that Li Chengqian was going to continue participating in the competition, Tian Wenming was shocked. He was very shocked. Then, he was overjoyed! Because, with Li Chengqian¡¯s standard, if he participated in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, the champion would definitely be him! He wasn¡¯t the only one who felt this way, everyone else felt the same way too. This championship was definitely Li Chengqian¡¯s! If he were in Li Chengqian¡¯s shoes, he would definitely not continue to participate in this competition. It was simply a waste of time. The prize money for the championship was only 100,000 yuan. To others, 100,000 yuan might be a lot, but to Li Chengqian, who owned the Divine Dragon Software Company, 100,000 yuan was nothing. He didn¡¯t care at all. Another reward was direct admission to the Divine Dragon University without having to take a test. This reward was also very attractive to others. Many people even worked hard to learn programming so as to participate in programming competitions, with the end goal of entering Divine Dragon University in mind. This was because the best universities in the Divine Dragon Country, such as the University of Science, Divine Dragon University, and Shuimu University, had already sent invitations for their master¡¯s degree to Tianyi High School. Now, it was no longer the school choosing students, but Li Chengqian choosing the school. It could even be said that as long as Li Chengqian chose that school, the school¡¯s reputation would rise greatly because of Li Chengqian¡¯s choice! Then, Tian Wenming turned to He Hongyun and the other two. The smile on his face disappeared and he became serious again. After his expression returned to being serious, Tian Wenming felt much better. After all, he was already used to having a serious expression. He was not used to maintaining a smile on his face. ¡°He Hongyun, don¡¯t be nervous during the exam. Work hard and strive to obtain a good result.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t feel any pressure! Just do your best!¡± ¡°As long as you guys perform normally, I think there¡¯s still hope for the top 50.¡± ¡°Alright, Teacher! I¡¯ll definitely work hard,¡± He Hongyun said softly with a humble attitude. He Hongyun¡¯s attitude made Li Chengqian feel very surprised. Last time, during the preliminary round in Tianbao City, He Hongyun was very arrogant. He was arrogant and acted high and mighty, as if he was the number one in the world. Moreover, he looked down on others, especially Li Chengqian. He was extremely sarcastic and mocking. Even after the competition, when Li Chengqian won first place in the preliminary round, he was still very arrogant. Tian Wenming asked He Hongyun to apologize to Li Chengqian. Until now, He Hongyun had not done so. Bi Jialiang had not spoken since he saw Li Chengqian. He ate quietly and kept a low profile. Even Jian Qingli was the same. She was expressionless and lowered her head to eat. However, she would inadvertently glance at Li Chengqian, her eyes carrying very strange emotions. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go to the competition hall.¡± Looking at the time, Tian Wenming took the lead and stood up, walking towards the competition hall. The venue for this competition was in Divine Dragon University, and the hotel where Li Chengqian and the others were staying was not far from Divine Dragon University. ¡°Jian Qingli, are you feeling unwell?¡± Bi Jialiang¡¯s mind had always been on Jian Qingli. He asked with concern when he saw Jian Qingli frowning as she walked. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Jian Qingli shook her head. Her voice was cold and deliberately distant. Jian Qingli cursed in her heart. ¡°Li Chengqian is a cow and a ferocious beast. He is not chivalrous at all.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He felt a little guilty. He naturally knew what was going on. He must have been too rough on Jian Qingli the night before, such that she was not feeling well now. After his bodily instincts subsided, Li Chengqian realized that what he did the night before was actually very inappropriate. Although it was exciting to be two-timing, there was a possibility of being exposed at any time. However, judging from Jian Qingli¡¯s performance today, she had indeed kept her word. Not to affect him, not to pester him, and not to bother him. On the other side, at the entrance of Divine Dragon University, Principal Wu was looking forward to Li Chengqian¡¯s arrival. Not only was Principal Wu here, but most of the members of the organizing committee of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition had also arrived. This was because the organizing committee of the finals were basically teachers from the Information Engineering School of Divine Dragon University. Dean Chen of the Divine Dragon University¡¯s Information Engineering School also followed behind Principal Wu. He wanted to use this rare opportunity to talk directly to Li Chengqian and persuade him to study at Divine Dragon University. This was because they had recently heard some news that Li Chengqian was very close to the Academy of Sciences. There was a very high possibility that he would study at the Academy of Sciences. Moreover, in order to get closer to him, Principal Wu had even found He Hongyan, an alumnus of Divine Dragon University, and asked him to help introduce them. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Li Chengqian here yet?¡± Principal Wu looked at the time and was a little anxious. Just then, Li Chengqian and the others walked out from the corner. ¡°Principal, they¡¯re here.¡± He Hongyan¡¯s eyes were sharp. He saw Li Chengqian and the others walking over from the corner and hurriedly spoke, pointing in the direction Li Chengqian had come from. Instantly, everyone¡¯s gazes turned in the direction He Hongyan pointed. Then, everyone solemnly tidied their clothes to make themselves look more lively and presentable. Then, under Principal Wu¡¯s lead, a group of people waited for Li Chengqian¡¯s arrival with smiles on their faces. Seeing Principal Wu and a group of people standing at the entrance, the students who came to participate in the competition were all very curious. The students of Divine Dragon University were also very curious. ¡°Maybe some big shot is visiting Divine Dragon University? Even Principal Wu is alarmed. I wonder what level of a big shot he is.¡± ¡°Wow, even Principal Wu came out to receive him. Who are they waiting for? Who is so important? Could it be that an academician is coming to give a lecture?¡± ¡°Dean Chen from the Information School is here too!¡± Li Chengqian and the others, who were walking towards the entrance from the crowd, also heard the discussions in the crowd. ¡°To be able to make Principal Wu of Divine Dragon University wait at the entrance, who is coming over? Isn¡¯t he too arrogant?¡± Tian Wenming was also very curious. ¡°It must be a big shot coming.¡± When He Hongyun saw the stance at the school gate, he was fascinated. He wished that he was the person that Principal Wu was waiting for. However, he knew very well that it was just a dream. It was absolutely impossible. Whether it was Ding Ling, Jian Qingli, or Zhao Peng, they were all very curious. What kind of person could warrant such a high-level welcome? However, thinking about it, it was obvious that other than the crme de la crme of the scientific world, perhaps only a few people would receive such treatment from Principal Wu. No one else had the ability to make Principal Wu wait at the door. Chapter 178 - 178 Invitation and Rejection 1 178 Invitation and Rejection 1 When He Hongyan saw that Li Chengqian, Tian Wenming, and the others had taken a detour and actually walked in another direction, he hurriedly shouted. ¡°President Li, over here!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, they seem to be calling you.¡± Tian Wenming stopped and said with uncertainty. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with disbelief. ¡°Wait, let¡¯s verify it first. If we hear wrongly, we¡¯ll be in a very awkward situation,¡± Ding Ling said softly. It would be too awkward if she rushed up rashly and realized that they weren¡¯t calling him. That would be so embarrassing. She was afraid that Li Chengqian would be embarrassed. Seeing that Li Chengqian and the others didn¡¯t move, He Hongyan quickly walked to Li Chengqian¡¯s side, his face beaming. ¡°President Li, over here! We¡¯ve all been waiting for you here for half an hour.¡± ¡°Are you guys calling me?¡± Li Chengqian was a little surprised. Actually, he had also seen He Hongyan just now, but he didn¡¯t know the rest of the people. Moreover, after hearing from the people around him that Divine Dragon University¡¯s Principal Wu was also among them, Li Chengqian naturally felt that the person Principal Wu was waiting for wasn¡¯t him. ¡°I was waiting for you! No wonder you didn¡¯t respond when I called you. So it¡¯s because you didn¡¯t think I was calling you?¡± He Hongyan smiled bitterly. If he had known that this would happen, he would have called Li Chengqian directly and explained the situation first. ¡°Yep!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. Then, he whispered with a face full of curiosity, ¡°Why are you waiting for me with such a big entourage?¡± At this moment, the people who were with Li Chengqian were shocked. Principal Wu of Divine Dragon University actually came to the school gate to welcome Li Chengqian! ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s status is actually so high!¡± Tian Wenming felt that he had to change his mindset. He Hongyun¡¯s eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. ¡°I¡¯ll never be able to reach such a height in my life. I¡¯ll never be able to make the principal of Divine Dragon University welcome me at the school gate.¡± Other than envy and jealousy, there was also a deep sense of loss. Because this incident once again clearly told him one thing. He was really inferior to Li Chengqian! In front of Li Chengqian, he was nothing! Zhao Peng¡¯s chubby face was filled with smugness and pride. He looked even more smug than Li Chengqian. ¡°Captain is impressive!¡± When Bi Jialiang saw this scene, his gaze towards Li Chengqian was already filled with admiration, reverence, and even submission! He had finally figured it out. He was just an ordinary person. To pit himself against a genius like Li Chengqian was simply asking for trouble and insult. There was no need to make things difficult for himself. With this shift in mindset, Bi Jialiang felt much more relaxed. As for Ding Ling, she had a proud smile on her face. Pride was written all over her face. However, because she had been wearing a hat and a big mask, no one could tell. Jian Qingli felt conflicted. There was pride that she could empathize with, but there was also endless regret. She was proud of Li Chengqian¡¯s achievements, but the higher Li Chengqian¡¯s achievements were, the stupider she was in the past, and the more regretful she was. Before He Hongyan could say anything, Principal Wu had already walked over with a smile on his face. He stood in front of Li Chengqian and spoke gently, making people feel his gentleness and warmth. ¡°You must be Li Chengqian? As expected, what a talent.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m Wu Xiaozhi, the Principal of Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°Principal Wu, how are you!¡± Li Chengqian also replied politely. ¡°Li Chengqian, because you¡¯re about to take the theory exam for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, I¡¯ll cut to the chase.¡± ¡°First of all, thank you very much for coming to the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Because of your participation, the competition¡¯s popularity has increased greatly.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Country¡¯s Junior Informatics Programming Competition will become a top international programming competition! This is the first high level programming competition in our country. It can greatly increase international influence!¡± ¡°Actually, on behalf of the organizing committee, I thank the Divine Dragon Software Company for donating 1,000 brainwave receivers to the competition! Because of your donation, the content of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition will be more scientific and modern. You have changed the format and content of the competition! After obtaining these brainwave receivers, our competition will become the most advanced programming competition in the country.¡± After Principal Wu finished speaking, the surrounding students all gasped. One thousand brainwave receivers! At 100,000 yuan per unit, the total value was 100 million yuan! Li Chengqian was only 17 years old and he had already donated 100 million yuan to the competition. He was simply too wealthy. This was insane! ¡°The fastest way to be unhappy is to compare yourself with others!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want 1,000 brainwave receivers. I only want one to play games. I want it so badly.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if Li Chengqian likes slightly older women I like him too much.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is hailed as a god-like man on the internet! He¡¯s the number one person in the software industry in the Divine Dragon Country, the number one person in the world in programming technology!¡± Principal Wu hadn¡¯t finished speaking. His eyes were filled with admiration for Li Chengqian. ¡°Thirdly, what do you think of the Divine Dragon University?¡± Chapter 179 - 179 Invitation and Rejection 2 179 Invitation and Rejection 2 Principal Wu didn¡¯t talk about anything specific, instead he suddenly asked a puzzling question. ¡°The best university in the country! Very good!¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and stated the truth. Principal Wu sighed and said, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re the top university in the country. In many professions, our school¡¯s standards are ahead of the world. In most subjects, our research is basically on par with world standards.¡± ¡°But we are lagging behind in terms of information technology! There are also some disciplines, especially in various high-end fields, that we are lagging far behind.¡± ¡°This is the reason why our school can only become a top university in the country but not in the world.¡± ¡°However, after you appeared, I saw hope!¡± ¡°In terms of programming and information science, you¡¯re like a god! Operating system, Divine Dragon Compiler, brainwave coding technology¡­ Logically speaking, these technologies are advanced technologies that can only be created by the country¡¯s combined efforts. However, you single-handedly produced all these advanced technologies and shocked the entire world.¡± ¡°I believe that with your participation and guidance, Divine Dragon University will achieve a huge breakthrough in information science within an extremely short period of time and will surpass world standards!¡± ¡°Now, I solemnly invite you to come to Divine Dragon University!¡± Principal Wu¡¯s voice was extremely sincere and serious. ¡°Wait a minute, let me understand this. Principal Wu said, ¡®With your guidance¡¯, what does he mean? Is he going to invite Li Chengqian to be the Dean of the Information School?¡± After hearing this, someone¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°F*ck, comparing yourself to others is infuriating! I¡¯m a PhD student. I need to take an exam if I want to stay in Divine Dragon University! Li Chengqian hasn¡¯t graduated from high school yet, but he has actually been invited by Principal Wu to lead the Information School. It¡¯s simply too much!¡± After hearing Principal Wu¡¯s words, a PhD student felt depressed. ¡°Li Chengqian developed the Divine Dragon System, the Divine Dragon Compiler, and the brainwave coding technology. He¡¯s the greatest computer information scientist of this era. In the field of information science, Li Chengqian has surpassed everyone. I think it¡¯s very reasonable even if he was directly appointed as an academician. not to mention asking him to lead the Information School.¡± ¡°Too impressive, awesome!¡± After Tian Wenming and the others heard Principal Wu¡¯s words, they were even more shocked! They originally thought that Principal Wu would extend an invitation to Li Chengqian, but only to study at Divine Dragon University. They really didn¡¯t expect Principal Wu to invite Li Chengqian to lead the Information School. ¡°I have underestimated Li Chengqian¡¯s influence!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian has already reached a peak that ordinary people can¡¯t reach in their entire lives.¡± ¡°This is the man I chose!¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes were filled with pride. Many people felt that Li Chengqian would agree because this was a height that ordinary people could not reach in their entire lives. Even Teacher Tian Wenming and the others felt that Li Chengqian would accept Principal Wu¡¯s invitation. Then, without any hesitation, he said something that made everyone¡¯s hearts ache. ¡°Principal Wu, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it, but I can¡¯t join Divine Dragon University.¡± After Principal Wu heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, he sighed in his heart and said with a regretful look on his face, ¡°Actually, before I came, they were all telling me that it was impossible for me to succeed.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to be right!¡± Principal Wu¡¯s expression was regretful. In fact, he also knew that it was unlikely that Li Chengqian would agree. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry! Principal Wu!¡± Li Chengqian spoke again, expressing his determination. ¡°Why wasn¡¯t I invited? If I was invited, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have refused.¡± Many people¡¯s hearts ached to the extreme. ¡°Heavens, Li Chengqian actually rejected Principal Wu¡¯s invitation! Principal Wu asking him to lead the Information School is equivalent to asking him to be the Dean of the Information School. It¡¯s simply reaching the heavens in a single step. Li Chengqian has actually really rejected him!¡± Many of the students looked at Li Chengqian with incredulous expressions. This was a rare opportunity for everyone. It was a future that they dreamed of! But Li Chengqian didn¡¯t care at all and turned down the offer. Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, Li Chengqian continued to say to Principal Wu, ¡°Principal Wu, you don¡¯t have to worry. I think Divine Dragon University¡¯s information science will quickly make huge improvements. Have faith.¡± ¡°We already have our own operating system. We have our own compiler and our own brainwave coding technology.¡± ¡°When the free personal version of the Divine Dragon System is used by the masses, the current situation will change!¡± ¡°In the past, we were the ones learning other people¡¯s technologies. In the future, it will be others who are learning our technologies.¡± By the time the competition ended, Bai Ze had almost transferred all the source codes of the three companies. By that time, it would be time to deal these three companies a fatal blow! After destroying the three companies, if nothing went wrong, the Divine Dragon System would become the largest operating system. It was also the safest system. By that time, the Divine Dragon System would be used throughout the country, and the Divine Dragon System would be used in large numbers overseas. The System would become the mainstream and the subject of everyone¡¯s research. Chapter 180 - 180 Invitation and Rejection 3 180 Invitation and Rejection 3 ¡°The advanced brainwave receivers are currently only available in our country. A hundredfold increase in information input efficiency will allow technologies to be updated quickly and our country¡¯s software technology will develop rapidly.¡± ¡°It will also allow our country¡¯s technology to develop exponentially within an extremely short period of time! It will surpass all our opponents.¡± Li Chengqian said with extreme certainty. ¡°Li Chengqian, many things are much more complicated than we think. It¡¯s not as simple.¡± Principal Wu didn¡¯t agree with Li Chengqian¡¯s point of view. The Divine Dragon System was indeed very advanced, but in his opinion, it was basically impossible to replace the Windows, Linux, and Apple systems! Because the Sunset Empire would not allow it! Moreover, at the moment, the Divine Dragon Software Company was still on the sanctions list. Their exports are banned. How can they lead the world if they aren¡¯t even allowed to export their products? Why would people from other countries come to learn the Divine Dragon System? How was this possible! In Principal Wu¡¯s opinion, Li Chengqian was a little arrogant. However, it was only expected for a young man who had achieved so much to be arrogant. Because there were too many onlookers around, Principal Wu didn¡¯t directly point out Li Chengqian¡¯s problem. Principal Wu was prepared to find an opportunity to talk to Li Chengqian separately, when there were fewer people around. He should not be blindly optimistic. ¡°Brainwave coding technology! This is a great technology that transcends time. It will indeed greatly promote the development of our country¡¯s software industry. Our country¡¯s software industry will make huge progress within an extremely short period of time.¡± Principal Wu was full of praise for the brainwave coding technology! He had already experienced the brainwave receiver. He was very shocked by its efficiency! Using the brainwave receiver for a minute was enough to finish many people¡¯s work for a day! The increase in efficiency was terrifying. With such a high input efficiency, it would be strange if the software industry in the Divine Dragon Country did not undergo a huge change. ¡°You did very well in dealing with the problem of the port of the brainwave receiver!¡± Principal Wu was full of admiration. In fact, Li Chengqian could totally export the brainwave receivers to foreigners. Even if Li Chengqian increased the price by five times, there would still be many people who would buy it. This represented huge benefits. This benefit was at least 10 billion yuan a year! Moreover, once Li Chengqian lifted the foreign purchase restrictions, the Sunset Empire would definitely remove a portion of the restrictions on Divine Dragon Software. However, Chengqian did not do so. He insisted on restricting the sale of the brainwave receiver. Even if the brainwave receivers were taken out of the country by other means, it would not function. Li Chengqian¡¯s support for the domestic software industry was not just lip service. He backed his words with real action. ¡°In the past, they didn¡¯t sell us any of their advanced technologies. Now that we have the advanced brainwave receiver, we won¡¯t sell it to them either,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°Li Chengqian, please reconsider your decision. Don¡¯t be in a hurry to turn me down now.¡± ¡°Any time you want to join the Divine Dragon University, our doors will be wide open for you. My phone number is 188 If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s about time. I won¡¯t be in the way of your Competition!¡± Principal Wu looked at the time and realized that there were only 20 minutes left until the Competition began. He took the initiative to end the conversation. However, Principal Wu has made up his mind to find a time a few days later to have a good chat with Li Chengqian. He wanted to tell Li Chengqian not to be conceited, arrogant and impatient. Otherwise, he might misjudge the situation and suffer losses. ¡°Go! Professor Yuan, this is the first time Student Li Chengqian has come to our Divine Dragon University. He¡¯s not familiar with our school. Take him to the competition hall.¡± Principal Wu turned around and greeted an especially young professor, asking him to lead the way for Li Chengqian. Professor Yuan walked up to Li Chengqian happily. ¡°Hello, Li Chengqian. Please follow me. Coincidentally, I also have a lot of questions for you.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± After Li Chengqian greeted Professor Yuan politely, he also greeted Principal Wu and led Tian Wenming and the others into the school. ¡°If we could persuade Li Chengqian to work at Divine Dragon University, with his talent, he would be able to raise our academic standards within a few years. Unfortunately¡± Principal Wu sighed as he watched Li Chengqian disappear into the crowd. ¡°Principal, why don¡¯t you think of a way to get Li Chengqian to come to our academy for a period of time? If we can learn from Li Chengqian for a period of time, I think our academy¡¯s standards can also be greatly improved,¡± Dean Chen of the Information School said with a face full of regret. However, Dean Chen knew very well that Li Chengqian would definitely not come. The surrounding students all looked at Li Chengqian with envy in their eyes. They wished they could have taken his place just now. Unfortunately, they could only dream on. ¡°Comparisons are infuriating! Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even graduate from high school, but he was actually invited by Principal Wu to work at Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°Geniuses get a different treatment indeed.¡± ¡°This time, our performance in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition might be the worst in history because there¡¯s no doubt that the championship will be Li Chengqian¡¯s.¡± ¡°Everyone can only do their best to fight for second place!¡± Chapter 181 - 181 The Time Is Right 1 181 The Time Is Right 1 The results were tabulated at 8pm. It went as expected. Li Chengqian¡¯s team was the champion of this Competition. Although he had expected this, when he heard this news, Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s could no longer keep a straight face. Teacher Tian Wenming¡¯s face was no longer serious like before. He was all smiles and happy. Everyone could feel his joy. Ding Ling got so emotional that she ignored everyone¡¯s gazes and hugged Li Chengqian in public. Zhao Peng¡¯s chubby face was also full of smiles. ¡°Congratulations on obtaining direct admission to Divine Dragon University. Being able to form a team with Li Chengqian is the luckiest thing that has ever happened in your lives.¡± Tian Wenming was a little envious of Ding Ling and Zhao Peng. Ding Ling basically didn¡¯t know anything about programming. Zhao Peng¡¯s programming was only at the beginner level. If it wasn¡¯t for Li Chengqian leading them to participate in the Junior Information Competition this time, they wouldn¡¯t even have been able to pass the preliminary round, not to mention the finals. The two of them were like mascots in this competition, they didn¡¯t have to lift a finger. Ding Ling let go of Li Chengqian with a flushed face. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. ¡°Li Chengqian, thank you. Without you, it would be impossible for me to get into Divine Dragon University with my results.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve fulfilled my dream of studying at Divine Dragon University!¡± Zhao Peng was also overjoyed. His gaze when he looked at Li Chengqian was filled with gratitude! With his results, it was absolutely impossible for him to get into Divine Dragon University. It was something that he didn¡¯t even dare to dream about. He was just an ordinary person. Fortunately, he joined Li Chengqian¡¯s team. Thanks to Li Chengqian, he obtained the opportunity to study at Divine Dragon University. ¡°Li Chengqian, thank you so much!¡± Then, he patted his chest hard, and said arrogantly. ¡°Li Chengqian, if there¡¯s ever anything I can do for you in the future, let me know. I¡¯d be an ingrate if I even so much as hesitate¡­¡± ¡°Zhao Peng, yeah right, cut that out!¡± Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, not letting Zhao Peng continue. If he were to let this joker continue speaking, he would surely say even more ridiculous things. But there was one thing that Li Chengqian knew, and that was that Zhao Peng¡¯s gratitude was sincere. This was enough. As expected, Li Chengqian¡¯s team won first place. As for Bi Jialiang¡¯s team, they were not so lucky. Their results ranking was out, and they were ranked 57th! This ranking had broken Tianyi High School¡¯s performance record in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Without Li Chengqian¡¯s team, this ranking was worth mentioning. However, it was useless now. The top 50 teams would gain direct admission to Divine Dragon University. The rest of the teams wouldn¡¯t. Therefore, Bi Jialiang¡¯s team did not get a spot to study at Divine Dragon University. Moreover, with Li Chengqian¡¯s team champion ranking, the 57th ranking didn¡¯t mean anything. He Hongyan kept his head lowered. His eyes were filled with deep disappointment. He originally thought that he would be able to get into the top 50 this time and obtain direct admission to Divine Dragon University. However, reality slapped him hard, letting him know that he was not as powerful as he had imagined. Bi Jialiang was also disappointed. He was extremely envious of Zhao Peng and Ding Ling. He secretly regretted it. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t organized my own team back then and joined Li Chengqian¡¯s team instead¡­ I would also have direct admission to Divine Dragon University.¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s face was contorted with a mix of emotions. She looked like she was crying and laughing at the same time. It was extremely complicated. Li Chengqian had invited her three times to join the team, but she had rejected him every time. Moreover, she would say some nasty words every time. She always felt that it was because of this that Li Chengqian gradually distanced himself from her and eventually got together with Ding Ling. ¡°If I had agreed to Li Chengqian¡¯s request, Zhao Peng wouldn¡¯t have had anything to do with it, and Ding Ling wouldn¡¯t have had anything to do with it!¡± Thinking of this, Jian Qingli almost cried out loud. She felt pangs of regret, making her want to cry. ¡°However, the champion is Li Chengqian, my man¡­¡± This thought made Jian Qingli feel proud again. Therefore, among the people present, her emotions were the most complicated. ¡°Li Chengqian, get yourself ready. The award ceremony will be held at the Great Hall of Divine Dragon University at nine o¡¯clock tomorrow morning. It will be broadcast live on television. You are the champion team. According to the requirements of the previous years, the champion team must give an acceptance speech.¡± Tian Wenming also heard that the award ceremony this time was different from previous years. In previous years, only the top 50 teams of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition participated in the award ceremony. This time, the Information School has been granted leave of absence for the award ceremony. All the students and professors of the Information School had to go to the auditorium to listen to Li Chengqian¡¯s acceptance speech. This was the highest form of accolade! ¡°There aren¡¯t many opportunities to speak in front of the entire country. This might be the only time in your life. You have to cherish this opportunity.¡± Tian Wenming¡¯s eyes were filled with undisguised envy. Li Chengqian nodded, indicating that he understood. In fact, before Tian Wenming said anything, he had already received a message from Principal Wu. Chapter 182 - 182 The Time Is Right 2 182 The Time Is Right 2 He also felt that he needed to prepare, and there was a lot of work to be done. Bai Ze would finish doing the data transfer tonight. Li Chengqian no longer had any misgivings. He wanted to use this opportunity to tell everyone that the Divine Dragon Country had already found its footing in the software industry! Moreover, he wanted to use this opportunity to announce the Intelligent CAD software, the Automated Factory CAD software, and the Divine Dragon Software amongst other things. At the same time, he wanted to use this opportunity to expose the issues with Windows, Apple, and Linux to the world. ¡°Alright, everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow is very important to Li Chengqian. Let¡¯s not disturb him and let him do his preparation work peacefully.¡± Tian Wenming said in a serious tone. Ding Ling looked at Li Chengqian reluctantly. She really wanted to stay with Li Chengqian. A trace of desire flashed in Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes too. After all, she was only 17 or 18 years old. Teenagers are full of vigor and recover very quickly. As soon as the uncomfortable feeling passed, she would recall the scene at that time. After everyone left the room, the television in the room suddenly stopped. Snowflakes flickered on the television screen, making it look like a third-rate horror movie. After the snowflakes flashed for a few seconds, Bai Ze appeared on the screen in front of Li Chengqian. Bai Ze¡¯s emotionless voice came from the television. ¡°Master, all the source codes of the three companies have been successfully transferred!¡± ¡°All three companies¡¯ virtual currencies have been transferred successfully! They¡¯re worth 54.7 billion!¡± ¡°The funds in the anonymous accounts of the three companies have been successfully transferred. They have used many means to launder the money. The amount is 16.8 billion yuan and it¡¯s clean.!¡± ¡°Do you want to activate the Destruction Plan for the three companies?¡± ¡°Very good!¡± Li Chengqian immediately became excited. This time, he directly obtained 71.5 billion yuan from Apple, Windows, and Google. What did 71.5 billion mean? It meant that Li Chengqian¡¯s net worth is now in the top 200 in the world. In Divine Dragon Country, Li Chengqian¡¯s wealth put him in the top 30 in the country! Li Chengqian was not worried at all that someone would discover the source of this money. Because virtual currency was a decentralized currency, there would be no record of transactions. Therefore, the virtual currency transferred from the three companies would definitely not be discovered by the other party. Even if the three companies had doubts about Li Chengqian, they would never be able to find evidence to prove this. It was the same for the money in the anonymous account. Through his terrifying computing power, Bai Ze hacked into many banking systems and divided the 16.8 billion yuan into countless parts. Then, through the stock market and related channels, he rolled the funds in the stock market dozens of times. Under such circumstances, no one would be able to find out where the money went. Therefore, Li Chengqian took the money with a clear conscience and did not feel any pressure at all. ¡°Update me on the situation with Windows.¡± Now that he had gotten everything he needed to get his hands on, Li Chengqian no longer had any scruples. ¡­ Overseas, the Sunset Empire had already produced a prototype of the brainwave receiver. After preliminary experiments by the scientists of Windows, the prototypes produced could function normally. Moreover, the exterior design was better than that of the Divine Dragon Software Company. It was more aesthetically pleasing with a futuristic sci-fi feel. It was also lighter and more comfortable. For such an important matter, Pi Chayi, Satia, and Cook, who had been meeting via video thus far, finally gathered in person at Windows¡¯ laboratory to see the effect of the prototype. ¡°Cook, Pi Chayi, let me tell you! After dismantling a few brainwave receivers, we confirmed that the most difficult part of brainwave coding technology is the brainwave coding file. As long as you master the coding file, you can easily achieve brainwave input.¡± ¡°The brainwave receiver basically doesn¡¯t have any technical content. As long as it¡¯s supported by coded documents, any company can easily manufacture the brainwave receiver,¡± Satia said proudly. To be honest, he didn¡¯t expect that it would be so simple to intercept the brainwave receiver. By disassembling the brainwave receiver of the Divine Dragon Software Company and purchasing accessories of the same model, it could even be assembled by hand. The cost of a brainwave receiver was only 500 yuan. After assembling it, it could be used as long as it was plugged into a computer with encoded files. ¡°Although Zhang Tianling broke her promise and raised the price at the last minute, it was all thanks to the coding documents she got from the Divine Dragon Software Company this time. The 200 million yuan was really worth it.¡± Satia praised. ¡°That¡¯s right. Without the brainwave coding document that Zhang Tianling got, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to reverse engineer the brainwave coding technology in a hundred years,¡± Cook said proudly. ¡°The only pity is that Zhang Tianling lost her chastity for this mission. It¡¯s really a pity! That¡¯s what I¡¯ve always wanted, but it was snatched away by an easterner,¡± Pi Chayi said regretfully. ¡°Seriously, it¡¯s just a woman. With your wealth, as long as you¡¯re willing to fork out money, you can easily get your hands on countless women like her. I heard that many sexy Hollywood celebrities often visit your villa,¡± Satia chided teasingly. Chapter 183 - 183 The Time Is Right 3 183 The Time Is Right 3 The few of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Windows laboratory. In the laboratory, five exquisite helmets were placed side by side. The helmets were connected to a computer. In the seat inside, two scientists from Windows were using a replica brainwave receiver to write software. On the computer screen, the speed of their input was displayed. 600 characters per minute! This speed couldn¡¯t be compared to the original software of the Divine Dragon Software Company. The Company¡¯s input speed using the original software was ten times this speed. It could reach the level of 6,000 characters per minute. However, the input speed of 600 characters per minute was still very shocking. This kind of input speed could increase a person¡¯s work efficiency by more than ten times! Cook and Pi Chayi stared at the computer screen from the moment they entered the laboratory. In a short while, the screen was filled with a large number of codes. When the two scientists stopped, Cook and Pi Chayi carefully checked the input code and indeed found many mistakes. However, the accuracy rate of input was more than 86%. ¡°Very good! Although there will still be some mistakes, they are completely acceptable. I believe anyone can accept such mistakes.¡± Compared to the speed of input of 600 characters per minute, it was not a problem. ¡°We¡¯ve organized a team of scientists and are developing a new software that can identify the incorrect words for brainwave input and automatically correct them. With the help of the brainwave receiver, it will only take a week for the results to be obtained. After the results are out, I¡¯m confident that the accuracy rate will be raised to more than ninety percent.¡± Satia¡¯s voice was filled with smugness. ¡°Moreover, as more and more users use the brainwave receivers we provide, we will be able to obtain more and more data to perfect our system.¡± ¡°I think it won¡¯t take long to increase the accuracy rate of the brainwave input to more than 95%!¡± ¡°Good, very good! But my opinion is that the error correction software should be released in stages and also sold separately. We have to maintain our lead over the other companies,¡± Cook suggested. ¡°Of course!¡± Satia said matter-of-factly. ¡°Satia, Cook, since we have completed the development of brainwave coding technology and the design and manufacturing of the brainwave receiver, I think we should make a grand press conference and tell our allies that we will still be ahead of everyone in the software industry in the future,¡± Pi Chayi suggested. He shamelessly said that he had developed the brainwave coding technology. ¡°Very good! I agree with this suggestion! This press conference will make everyone who uses the Windows system, the company, and the country confident.¡± The more they spoke, the more excited they became. Just as they were discussing the details of the press conference, The computers in front of them suddenly lit up without anyone operating them. ¡°Oh, f*ck, what¡¯s going on?¡± Right on the heels of that, the two scientists cursed in horror because they realized that they¡¯ve lost control over the computer in front of them. Chapter 184 - 184 A Virus Attack? 184 A Virus Attack? ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± After hearing the frightened voices of the two scientists, Satia tensed up. He was also very nervous. He quickly turned around to see the situation. Just then, all the surrounding computer screens lit up. The background of the screen was black, and a line of white words appeared at the same time. You fucking idiot! (You idiot!) ¡°Oh no, a virus in our computer.¡± Satia¡¯s eyes flashed with disbelief when he read this sentence. A virus in the computers at the headquarters of Windows was a huge joke. Moreover, Pi Chayi and Cook were present. This was even more of a joke. The veins on Satia¡¯s forehead bulged. ¡°F*ck, deal with the virus immediately! Don¡¯t let me know who brought the virus into the company. If I find out, he¡¯s dead!¡± Satia bellowed. Then, he picked up the landline on the table and quickly called Attina, who was in charge of the company¡¯s network security. In order to ensure that there was no leakage of company secrets, no one was allowed to bring a phone into this laboratory. Even Satia couldn¡¯t bring his phone in. Cook and Pi Chayi were the same. Their phones were still locked in the safe at the entrance of the laboratory. At this moment, the content displayed on the computer screen changed again. ¡°I¡¯ve taken all the source codes in your server. Thank you for your generosity.¡± ¡°F*ck, Attina, cut off the physical connection between the intranet and the Internet immediately! The intranet is infected!¡± After Satia picked up the phone, he quickly made arrangements. A line of text appeared on the computer screen. ¡°I forgot to tell you guys that I¡¯ve also taken away the virtual currency you saved on the intranet. Thank you once again for your generosity.¡± ¡°That¡¯s absolutely impossible. In this world, no hacker can silently enter our company¡¯s intranet. Our Windows intranet is the safest network in the world.¡± Satia roared. Although he said that he didn¡¯t believe it, he was shuddering with fear. As quickly as possible, he asked Attina again, ¡°Is the internet disconnected?¡± ¡°President, the internet has been disconnected, but we still can¡¯t control the computers and servers on the intranet!¡± Attina¡¯s voice was anxious. ¡°President, we¡¯re working hard! We can¡¯t confirm the security of our data assets now.¡± Attina¡¯s voice was very solemn. Just then, the words on the screen changed again. ¡°I¡¯m guessing you¡¯ll definitely disconnect the physical network¡­¡± ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s too late. It¡¯s useless!¡± ¡°By the way, I¡¯ve also taken the money from your company¡¯s anonymous accounts. Thank you so much. You¡¯re too generous. It¡¯s a total of 16.8 billion yuan! This is a huge fortune.¡± After reading this sentence, Satia was a little surprised and puzzled. This was because there wasn¡¯t so much money in Windows¡¯ anonymous account. However, he instantly suppressed the doubts in his heart and immediately called the bank. ¡°Hello, sir. The balance in the account is 0¡­ Goodbye!¡± ¡°Can you tell me where our company¡¯s money went?¡± Satia¡¯s expression was terrifyingly dark, and his eyes were screaming murder. If the shareholders knew that he had lost 10 billion yuan, someone would definitely want to kill him! ¡°Sir, our company has no record of the flow of funds in the account! In accordance with the rules, we won¡¯t make any records of the flow of funds in such accounts.¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Satia cursed. His face was contorted with anger. He knew that he wouldn¡¯t get any information by asking the customer service staff, so he hung up. Just then, the information displayed on the screen in front of him changed again. ¡°Actually, I have something else to tell you¡­¡± ¡°All your data is gone¡­ I¡¯ve helped you delete it completely!¡± ¡°Also, let me kindly remind you that the brainwave coding technology is fake!¡± When Satia saw this sentence, his eyes widened in disbelief. The source code was stolen! It would indeed be a huge blow to Windows, many of their projects would suffer losses. However, the source code of Windows was not so easy to steal, and not just anyone dared to use it. Once Windows found out who the culprit was, they would retaliate at all costs. He also needed to verify if the virtual currency had indeed been stolen. With the decentralized characteristics of the virtual currency, there was no possibility of recovering it if it was lost. As for the money in the anonymous accounts, it was gone for good. Although Satia would be in big trouble, Windows itself wouldn¡¯t be affected much. As long as Windows was still around, any amount of money could be earned back. Just now, the information displayed on the screen said that all the data was gone! If it was really gone, it would be a disaster for Windows! ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not true. This is definitely a prank!¡± Satia¡¯s voice was trembling, and his eyes were already filled with fear. ¡°Satia, looks like you¡¯re in trouble!¡± Cook and Pi Chayi acted like they felt sorry for him, but they were gloating in their hearts. They were happy to see the Windows suffer losses. Because when Windows was in trouble, Apple and Google could take advantage of the situation and take over Windows¡¯ market share. For their two companies, the current situation was great news. As long as they told the truth about what happened today, the security of the Windows¡¯ system would be greatly questioned. ¡°Heavens, it¡¯s unimaginable. Windows has been hacked and tens of billions of assets have been stolen. Satia, your company¡¯s network security is worrying. No wonder the Windows system is plagued with viruses. I¡¯m disappointed with your security technology.¡± Cook tried hard not to smile. ¡°President, the computer has suddenly returned to normal!¡± The two scientists who were controlling the computer said in surprise. ¡°Look at the data on our server!¡± Satia shouted because she was too anxious. As he shouted, he rushed to a computer and quickly opened an intranet server. Before entering the password, he had to enter the network address of the 64-bit password before opening it. Thick beads of sweat immediately appeared on Satia¡¯s forehead. What did this mean? Satia¡¯s heart sank! He started dreading what he was about to see. Right on the heels of that, Satia opened the folder used to store the virtual currency. It was empty! There was nothing! All the data had disappeared. In an instant, Satia was drenched in sweat. At the same time, Attina called. Satia picked up the phone with trembling fingers. An extremely anxious voice came from the phone. ¡°President, our virtual currency has disappeared!¡± ¡°All the data in our server has disappeared! All the project data and source codes have disappeared!¡± Attina¡¯s tone was extremely serious. Satia almost fainted after hearing what Attina said. Chapter 185 - 185 Whats Going On? 185 What¡¯s Going On? The data in the intranet was very critical. Many projects were already in the final debugging stage. Windows 12 was basically completed! Windows 12 was a new generation operating system that Windows had been developing for five years and had invested tens of billions of yuan in development. After the source codes disappeared, it would cause a huge blow to Windows. The release date of the system would be delayed for a long time! Windows backup the source codes on a regular basis. However, because of their confidence in the security of the intranet, the source codes backed up by Windows was also saved on the intranet server. Windows 12 was only one example, there were many other projects that were in the pipeline. Satia¡¯s face was pale as he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. He was flustered and terrified. ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± This thought filled his mind. Windows would be greatly affected by this incident, and he was helpless this time. ¡°No, I still have the brainwave coding technology! I still have the brainwave receiver! I¡¯m not finished yet!¡± When Satia thought of the brainwave coding technology, it was as if he had grasped a life buoy. A trace of hope appeared in his eyes. Then, the last sentence on the computer screen suddenly flashed in his mind. [The brainwave coding technology is fake!] How could it be fake! Previously, Satia had personally experimented with it. The input speed and accuracy were indeed not as good as the Divine Dragon Software Company. However, it was functioning! He was not the only one who had tried using it. Cook and Pi Chayi had also tried it. Dozens of Windows employees had also used it. The brainwave coding technology was real! Satia could confidently tell anyone who came to ask. However, Satya was no longer so sure now. Cook and Pi Chayi had been gloating. When they saw this sentence on the screen, the smiles on their faces disappeared and their faces became serious. They were very happy to see Satia suffer, but there was a limit to this loss. If even they suffered losses, they would naturally be unwilling. ¡°Tara, find a brand new computer with no internet connection. Import the brainwave coding technology and experiment with it.¡± Under Satia¡¯s arrangements, one of the scientists got down to work quickly. He set up a brand new computer and imported the brainwave coding technology. Then, in front of the three of them, the scientists began to experiment with the brainwave receiver. Tara looked at the screen, picturing what needed to be typed into the computer as before. And then¡­ There was no response from the computer. ¡°What the f*ck is going on? Why isn¡¯t there any reaction!¡± Tara didn¡¯t understand and cursed loudly. He was extremely sure that this was what he had done previously. Just now, a large number of words would appear on the computer according to his thoughts. But now, there was no reaction at all. Tara wasn¡¯t convinced. Then, he tried even harder to think. However, there was still no response on the computer. Then, Tara reluctantly tried to use the brainwave receiver to control the computer. This time, he did not enter any information. He only used the brainwave receiver as a mouse, but¡­ the computer did not react! ¡°President, don¡¯t worry. Perhaps this brainwave receiver is broken. I¡¯ll try another one.¡± Tara frowned and began to change the equipment. He then converted the brainwave coding file and installed it in the system. Once he¡¯d made sure all the preparations were in order, Tara moved again to begin a new experiment. And then¡­ There was still no reaction. Satia¡¯s eyes were expectant at first. When Tara changed equipment and there was still no reaction, they were filled with despair. In his despair, he was also confused! He was clearly using it well just now, so why was there no reaction all of a sudden?! This was a situation that he could not understand at all. In his understanding, if there was a problem with the brainwave coding technology that Zhang Tianling had given them, it shouldn¡¯t have been able to function right from the beginning. ¡°What the f*ck is going on?¡± ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Satia¡¯s voice was filled with rage, confusion, and despair. The brainwave coding technology was the only thing that could save him now. But now, the brainwave coding technology was actually fake! ¡°F*ck, why? Why?¡± Cook and Pi Chayi¡¯s expressions turned ugly, and their eyes were filled with confusion. They couldn¡¯t accept that the brainwave coding technology had suddenly failed. They had already formulated a detailed business strategy based on the brainwave coding technology. They had already treated this trillion-dollar market as their territory and their designated sphere of influence. Now that the brainwave coding technology had failed, all their opportunities, plans, visions, and imagined wealth had suddenly fallen through. ¡°Perhaps the brainwave coding technology didn¡¯t fail. It¡¯s just that a mysterious hacker had planted a virus in Windows¡¯ computers, so the brainwave coding technology can¡¯t be used on Windows¡¯ computers.¡± Cook and Pi Chayi held on to some hope. ¡°We have to go back to the company immediately and experiment with the brainwave coding technology!¡± Cook and Pi Chayi looked at each other at the same time and read each other¡¯s minds. ¡°Cook, Pi Chayi! You can¡¯t leave. We¡¯re partners! We¡¯re in the same boat.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll leave immediately. After you get the phone, please call the company immediately to confirm the situation of the brainwave coding technology!¡± Whatever Cook and Pi Chayi could think of, Satia could naturally think of too. He quickly stood up. Cook and Pi Chayi looked at each other, nodded, and followed Satia out. Both of their expressions were very solemn, and they had a bad feeling. ¡°Pi Chayi, don¡¯t worry. Although our brainwave coding technology has failed and we will suffer huge losses, Windows is the biggest loser!¡± ¡°This time, the losses of Windows¡¯ source codes, virtual currency, and anonymous accounts add up to at least 50 billion yuan.¡± Cook comforted Pi Chayi, but he was also reassuring himself in actual fact. Although it was tragic, Windows¡¯ plight was even worse! This would be a comfort to them. ¡°Yes, Cook, we only lost our future, and Windows not only lost its future, but it also lost its present,¡± Pi Chayi replied, but his tone was not relaxed. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the laboratory. An urgent ringtone came from the safe. ¡°Oh, whose phone is this? It kept ringing. It¡¯s so annoying!¡± The security guard guarding the safe complained irritably. Instantly, Cook and Pi Chayi, who were originally solemn, had a stronger bad feeling. After thinking of a certain possibility, dense beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. ¡°Just now, the words displayed on the computer screen were ¡°you guys¡±¡­ not ¡°you¡±! Wait, could it be that this time, it¡¯s not only Windows that is in trouble, but also Apple and Google¡­¡± Satia thought of a possibility and suddenly spoke. As he spoke, he looked at the two people who had already rushed towards the safe. Chapter 186 - 186 Despondent Zhang Tianling 186 Despondent Zhang Tianling Cook answered the call. The young secretary on the line was already sobbing with fear. ¡°President, why did you only pick up now? Something serious has happened!¡± ¡°President, our company¡¯s internal server has been attacked by a hacker!¡± ¡°All source codes on the internal network were deleted by the hacker.¡± ¡°All the crypto currencies stored on the internal server have been stolen by hackers.¡± ¡°All the funds in the anonymous account have been transferred out too.¡± ¡°Also, the brainwave coding technology that our company is secretly researching has also lost its effect after the hacker attack.¡± When Cook heard this, he broke out in cold sweat and his face fell. However, he was also puzzled. ¡°How did you know that our company¡¯s virtual currency had been stolen? How did you know that the money in our company¡¯s anonymous account had been transferred? How did you know that the brainwave coding technology had lost its effect?¡± Logically speaking, even if the company¡¯s network was hacked, even if all the source codes were deleted, they would not think about the crypto currencies or anonymous accounts, let alone the issue of the brainwave coding technology failing. ¡°President, the hacker is very arrogant. He controlled all the monitors in our company and told us through the monitors what he had done. It¡¯s just that this hacker¡¯s math is not good. He clearly only stole five billion yuan from our company¡¯s account, but he said that he stole 16.8 billion yuan from us¡­¡± After hearing this, Cook completely understood. He was despondent and his face was ashen! ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± At this moment, Pi Chayi shouted angrily into the phone, ¡°How is this possible? How is this possible! Why was our virtual currency and the money in our anonymous account stolen?¡± Then, his phone fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°It¡¯s that bitch Zhang Tianling. She¡¯s joined the Divine Dragon Software Company. The virus created by the Divine Dragon Software Company has been brought to our company¡¯s internal network!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to kill her. I¡¯m going to kill that bitch.¡± Pi Chayi was fuming mad. He looked like he was about to murder someone. Pi Chayi;s words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating Satia¡¯s mind. In an instant, he understood many things. There had been no problems with the internal network of the three companies for so many years. Was it reasonable for there to suddenly be a problem? Recently, the only project that the three companies were following up on was the brainwave coding technology! Thinking about it carefully, everything made sense. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right! It¡¯s Zhang Tianling, that bitch!¡± ¡°If she hadn¡¯t sent the virus to our internal network, we wouldn¡¯t have suffered such a huge loss this time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to kill her!¡± Satia¡¯s face was screaming murder. ¡°And the Divine Dragon Software Company. They planned everything. They¡¯re a demonic company. They¡¯re a virus company!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company must pay the price for what happened today!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian has to die!¡± The expressions on the three people¡¯s faces were extremely fierce. Their eyes were filled with a terrifying cold light. On the other side of the Sunset Empire, Zhang Tianling was thoroughly enjoying a sunbath. She had obtained a total of 200 million yuan for this mission. She was prepared to enjoy her life and completely quit. She would change to a legitimate profession. Just then, her phone rang. Zhang Tianling answered the call in a leisurely manner. ¡°Thank you for your help. I¡¯ll give you a small suggestion. Leave the Sunset Empire as soon as possible and go into hiding. Otherwise, you¡¯ll die.¡± At the end of this message was a name that she could not forget. Li Chengqian! ¡°How did Li Chengqian know the phone number I¡¯m using now?¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s expression became serious. Her phone number had completely changed after the mission ended. She had not told anyone at all. ¡°Also, why did he ask me to leave the Sunset Empire? Is he lying to me?¡± Zhang Tianling thought about it carefully. She really couldn¡¯t think of any reason why. ¡°Is there a problem with the brainwave coding technology?¡± Zhang Tianling could only think of this technology that was related to Li Chengqian. ¡°Or is it Windows, Apple or Google?¡± Although she was very puzzled and didn¡¯t believe Li Chengqian¡¯s message, Zhang Tianling¡¯s innate alertness made her throw her phone to the ground immediately. Then, she quickly got up and hid. At this moment, Zhang Tianling received another message from Li Chengqian on her other secret phone. This time, the message was a connection, as well as a sentence, a sentence that puzzled her. ¡°Thank you for your help.¡± Zhang Tianling clicked on the connection. This was an expos¨¦. The content was very simple. Windows, Apple, and Google have all been hacked by the Divine Dragon Software Company. All their source codes were deleted. All their virtual currencies were transferred away. All the funds in their anonymous accounts were transferred out. The brainwave coding technology that the three companies and the Sunset Empire had placed high hopes on was fake and useless! This time, the losses of the three companies in the near and long term would not be less than 1 trillion yuan! The direct loss this time was more than 100 billion yuan! The brainwave coding technology obtained from the Divine Dragon Software Company was a virus! She was the culprit who had caused the three companies to suffer heavy losses this time! When Zhang Tianling saw this, her eyes widened in disbelief. Then, endless fear surged from the bottom of her heart. She felt as if the sky had collapsed. That was because she was the one who handed over the brainwave coding technology to the three companies. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, she knew the style of these big companies too well. With such a huge loss, the three companies would definitely not let it pass. And she would definitely be on the hit list of the three companies. ¡°F*ck, Li Chengqian, you¡¯re a beast! You¡¯re a demon.¡± ¡°Not only did you take advantage of me!¡± ¡°You also made use of me to send the virus to the internal networks of three companies.¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply not human. You¡¯re simply a terrifying demon.¡± Zhang Tianling cursed crazily in her heart. Then, she saw a group of burly men appear on the beach. All of them walked towards where she was previously. Then, the group of people picked up the phone that Zhang Tianling had thrown on the ground. ¡°That bitch Zhang Tianling has already run away, but she definitely won¡¯t be able to run far. Let¡¯s give chase! This time, Windows, Apple and Google are paying for this together. We can¡¯t let anyone else get ahead of us.¡± ¡°I heard that Satia, Cook, and Pi Chayi are very angry. They have spread the word that they want Zhang Tianling to die a horrible death.¡± Zhang Tianling, who was not far away, happened to hear the conversation. Her entire body instantly turned cold, as if she had fallen into a cold cave. She was terrified. Previously, she was still clinging on to some hope, but reality told her that her only option is to flee. However, she had no way out as she was up against the three influential companies! ¡°Li Chengqian, help me¡­ I can¡¯t escape the Sunset Empire alone.¡± Zhang Tianling was at her wit¡¯s end. The only way was to send Li Chengqian a message asking for help, and pray that he would do so. But¡­ There was no response. ¡°Please¡­ help me!¡± Zhang Tianling panicked. Chapter 187 - 187 Leaked News 187 Leaked News In Dragon City, in the hotel, the scene on the television was a freeze frame of the three of them cursing in a state of anger. ¡°Master, this is the scene you requested to record, after the three of them knew what had happened.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice was emotionless. ¡°What a fuss. You can¡¯t even take this little provocation?¡± Li Chengqian sneered. These three companies¡¯ suppression of the Divine Dragon Software Company was much more ruthless than what Li Chengqian had done to them. ¡°Then if you know what I¡¯m going to do next, I¡¯m afraid you may be suicidal.¡± Li Chengqian sneered. ¡°Bai Ze, release the article I just wrote!¡± Li Chengqian had written a short article about how the three companies had been hacked by powerful hackers and had lost all their source codes. Now that the source codes of the three companies had been deleted, what they wanted to do the most was to keep this matter confidential. If others knew about their loss of the source codes, they would doubt the robustness of the three companies¡¯ technology. This was only the first step of Li Chengqian¡¯s plan! ¡°Post it anonymously. Don¡¯t let anyone know our identities.¡± Of course, in order not to quibble with anyone, Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t use his real identity to post this article. Although everyone could guess that the Divine Dragon Software Company was behind this¡­ But they had no proof. As long as there was no proof, no one could do anything to Li Chengqian. The previous transfer of funds made Li Chengqian fully confident that Bai Ze would not be discovered by anyone. ¡°Also, I want everyone to know about this overnight. I want the reputation of Windows, Apple and Google to be ruined,¡± Li Chengqian said coldly. Not only did these three companies try to steal the brainwave coding technology, but they also tried to bankrupt him! This was a blood feud! He will fight tooth and nail to the end! ¡°I want to use this incident to warn everyone that whoever dares to lay their hands on the Divine Dragon Software Company has to be prepared to be exterminated!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice came from the monitor. After Li Chengqian made the arrangements, he continued to draft his speech and plan the product launch. ¡°From tomorrow onwards, the Divine Dragon System will conquer the entire world.¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and sent a message to He Hongyun, asking him to invite more important world-class media outlets to the venue tomorrow. Then, he sent a message to Academician Lin Qu of the Software Research Institute and Principal Wu of Divine Dragon University, explaining what he was going to do this time. ¡°Bai Ze, mark the back door that the three companies specially left behind for me. I need to use it tomorrow.¡± ¡°Write a virus software to specifically attack the loopholes left behind by three companies!¡± ¡­ Just as Li Chengqian was making arrangements, there was a huge commotion in the Sunset Empire because of the issue of the three companies. Bai Ze did a swift and neat job of flooding the entire internet with news of the three companies¡¯ source codes being deleted. Within an hour, it became the most popular search on the internet. After the public relations departments of the three companies found out that the news had spread, they immediately tried to suppress it. However, Bai Ze was too formidable. Under its operations, the news was unstoppable. There was no way to suppress it at all. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s unbelievable. Three operating system giants were actually hacked together.¡± ¡°The three of them are operating system developers. Even their company was attacked by hackers and all the data was deleted. Who will guarantee the data security of us layman users?¡± ¡°Trash company, no wonder there are so many viruses in the Windows system. Apple is¡­¡± ¡°Apple¡¯s server data has also been cleared¡­ I suspect that you did it on purpose. Are you a high-level hacker?¡± ¡°F*ck, shameless Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is full of bad guys. They¡¯re all hackers. They¡¯re a hacking company. They¡¯re a criminal organization. They¡¯re already in hell.¡± ¡°I will never use the products of the Divine Dragon Software Company in my life!¡± ¡°Although Divine Dragon Software has technology, they are the most shameless company in the world. They are using advanced technology to do evil everywhere! They should be punished.¡± The entire internet was filled with discussions about this matter. Even news of the elections in the Sunset Empire, which was the most important matter, was overshadowed by this matter. International news networks were competing to report on this matter. ¡°The three major operating system giants were hacked at the same time. The Divine Dragon Software Company is behind this¡­¡± ¡°The shameless Divine Dragon Software Company stole our operating system.¡± ¡°The shameless Divine Dragon Software Company are hackers. They stole our brainwave coding technology!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has surpassed the three operating systems giants. Just like an old man in his twilight years, other than being furious, there was nothing they could do.¡± ¡°Internal news from the three major operating systems companies. The data has been wiped clean and can¡¯t be recovered at all. The only tool that can be used to recover the data is actually the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s Data Restoration software.¡± ¡°The Ins and Outs of the Brainwave Encoding Technology Saga!¡± ¡°The three major operating system suppliers got more than they bargained for. Instead of stealing the brainwave coding technology, they were tricked by the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°The information technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company has completely surpassed us. In the future, we will no longer lead the world.¡± ¡°Let the Divine Dragon Software Company feel our wrath and make him disappear from the face of the earth.¡± All kinds of shocking headlines instantly appeared in the newspapers and the electronic media. It allowed everyone to understand the ins and outs of this matter. However, the overseas media had always liked to distort the truth. The Divine Dragon Software Company was defamed by irresponsible journalists. Although there were also fair reports, they were not from the mainstream media, and not many people read them. Although everyone was scolding the Divine Dragon Software Company for being shameless, they didn¡¯t hesitate to protect their own interests. After they read the news, they immediately sold off the shares of the three companies they were holding. Ever since the news appeared on the internet, the share prices of the three companies had plummeted. The decline was like a straight line. In just an hour, the market value of Windows decreased from 17.5 trillion to 14 trillion. Twenty percent of its value, or 3.5 trillion, had evaporated! Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that the decline of Windows didn¡¯t stop. The market value of Apple also decreased from 16.8 trillion to 12 trillion, a total of 4.8 trillion had evaporated. The market value of Google also shrank at a terrifying rate. The original market value of 7 trillion was reduced to 5.5 trillion, 1.5 trillion had evaporated! The frenzied decline in the stock prices of the three companies frightened all the investors. Everyone was selling the shares in their hands. Under this vicious cycle, the share prices of the three companies were falling at a speed that frightened everyone. The most terrifying thing was that when the shares of the three companies fell, it caused all the technology stocks to fall too. ¡°F*ck, who is targeting us! I want to kill him! I must kill him!¡± Satia bellowed. The news of the server¡¯s data being cleared had been listed as top-secret information and was embargoed. He was afraid of causing panic! As long as they were given time to react, they could ensure that the share price was stable. And now, just a little more than an hour after the discovery of the incident, the entire world knew that the source codes of the three companies had been wiped out. It was fat hope trying to keep this a secret! Now, everyone knew about this. Those greedy financial groups wouldn¡¯t let such a golden opportunity pass. They would definitely short their shares! This was the opportunity of a lifetime to draw blood from the three giants. The three companies would have to spend a lot this time to stabilize the share prices. Chapter 188 - 188 Shockingly Advanced 188 Shockingly Advanced ¡°Intelligent CAD software? Automated Factory CAD software, and General-Purpose Mechanical CAD software.¡± Principal Wu looked at the message from Li Chengqian and frowned. After thinking for a while, he decided to open the connection sent by Li Chengqian to try it out. If the software was indeed very advanced, allowing Li Chengqian to release it at the award ceremony of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition would benefit both Li Chengqian and the Competition. If the software was not up to mark, he would definitely not agree. Then, Principal Wu turned on his computer and opened the connection provided by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian wanted to release all the CAD software. They were all web versions, which meant that there was no need to download software to install it. There were no requirements for the computer¡¯s configuration. As long as it was a computer that could go online, it could use the CAD software. This method was indeed a huge improvement and convenience compared to downloading a software to install it. However, because there was already a lot of software that used this technology, Principal Wu didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. When he first opened the software, Principal Wu had a relaxed expression on his face because the webpage didn¡¯t look much different from other CAD software. Soon, the expression on his face became extremely serious. Advanced, it was really very advanced! It even gave Principal Wu a feeling of future technology. Originally, Principal Wu had planned to use 10 minutes to experience the software, but after using it, he couldn¡¯t stop. Not only did he look at it himself, but he also called the scientists from the Civil Engineering School, Mechanical Engineering School, and the Information School over to try it out. The Dean of the Architecture School, Feng Mama, gasped after he tried the Intelligent CAD software! Automated layout, design, 3D modeling, structural calculation, construction plan, calculation of engineering volume and cost, as well as automated purchasing of materials and hiring of construction managers. Every function was an unbelievably advanced technology that could be used to establish a standalone company. After all the functions were integrated, this software was invincible. Currently, the most advanced software on the market was no different from retarded in face of the Intelligent CAD, or perhaps not even at the level of retarded. If the other software was an insect, the Intelligent CAD software of the Divine Dragon Software Company was about the same level of intelligence as a child. One could imagine the difference! ¡°Hiss¡­ Principal, this is unbelievable! This is simply too smart. If this Intelligent CAD software is popularized, the students who study design will have a huge reduction in the duplication of work. The time spent on creative work will be greatly improved!¡± ¡°Moreover, the design time is unbelievably fast. As long as we obtain the basic information of the project, we can complete all the design work in a day. It¡¯s unbelievable!¡± Feng Mama couldn¡¯t help but praise again. ¡°What¡¯s more, this software directly connects the materials, the construction manager, and the design software!¡± After designing, it could directly order materials and hire the construction manager. This was something that other software could not do. After Feng Mama finished speaking, Director Chen of the Information School, who had been experimenting with the Automated Factory CAD software, was extremely shocked. ¡°It¡¯s too advanced. It¡¯s unbelievable! How did Li Chengqian do it? Could such an advanced software really be developed in this era?¡± A production line could be designed within a few minutes. The equipment needed would be accurately identified by its model number. At the same time, it could calculate the cost. Everything was done with one click. All the equipment needed could be purchased with one click. Control program, PLC Control Module, everything was available! It was so advanced that it was several generations ahead of other products of the same nature. Other software were like steam engines, but the Automated Factory CAD software developed by Li Chengqian had already reached the level of an aero engine. There was simply no comparison. With this software, automated factory design would become very simple. ¡°Principal, this software is too advanced. If it was released, it would play a huge role in helping less developed countries advance! I suggest that we immediately report the situation to the Department of State Secrets.¡± In fact, many countries did not have the ability to do automated factory design. With the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s software, as long as one was literate, one could design an automated factory by inputting the specific parameters. This was software that could increase the overall strength of a country! This kind of software has always been banned from being exported. Wang Jingliang from the Mechanical Engineering School was experimenting with a general-purpose mechanical version of CAD software. The more he used it, the more shocked he became. Because it¡¯s too advanced, He only needed to enter a few main parameters and the extremely complicated blueprint would be generated. If he had used ordinary CAD software to perform these tasks, the blueprint might not be ready even if he slogged for ten days. The most terrifying thing was that not only could this software draw the blueprint for you, but it could also produce a processing program. As long as the processing program was copied to the CNC machine bed, no matter how complicated the parts were, the CNC machine tool could be processed for you. This was something that no software could do at the moment. What was even more advanced was that the software could give extremely detailed production steps for the entire machinery production. Even a layman would be able to produce the equipment step by step after obtaining the relevant information. However, there was a limit to the number of parts in the general mechanical version of the CAD software. Otherwise, Wang Jingliang felt that he could even produce a fighter jet by following the production steps set out by the software. Moreover, in addition to the most basic drawing function, the simulation assembly function in this software was also very powerful. It could assemble the drawn parts and simulate the operation of the assembled machinery. Any design problems would be instantly detected. ¡°Director, where did this software come from? It¡¯s too advanced. If not for the limit on the number of parts, I think this software could even be used to design airplanes!¡± ¡°Moreover, this software is much more advanced than the software we¡¯re using now! If we use this software to design planes and other high-end machines, the time will be shortened. Things that used to take ten years to design can be produced in a year with this!¡± ¡°This software must not be exported. In fact, it should only be restricted for official use! Better yet, classify the developer of the software and the software itself as national assets!¡± ¡°This software is very formidable. It¡¯s much more advanced than the software that the foreigners don¡¯t sell to us.¡± Compared to this software, their software was no different from the most primitive stone age tools. ¡°Once it¡¯s leaked out, it will have a huge impact on our national defense.¡± Wang Jingliang was extremely serious. After Principal Wu heard what the three people said, he was also very shocked. He originally only felt that Li Chengqian¡¯s software was very advanced, but he didn¡¯t have a real appreciation of how advanced it was. After all, these subjects weren¡¯t his specialization. Although he knew a little, he wasn¡¯t as proficient as the others. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact the Department of State Secrets immediately! I¡¯ll invite them over and hear their opinion.¡± Principal Wu nodded solemnly. He really didn¡¯t expect that the software that Li Chengqian wanted to release would actually affect national defense. Principal Wu took out his phone and called the Department of State Secrets. Tonight was going to be a long night. Chapter 189 - 189 The World Will Cheer You On 189 The World Will Cheer You On The next morning, just as the sun rose, a large number of students and reporters appeared outside the auditorium of Divine Dragon University. In the morning, the trending searches were all about Li Chengqian again. The top ten topics were mostly about incidents related to Li Chengqian. This riled many celebrities who relied on the trending searches to maintain their popularity. Li Chengqian did not rely on trending topics to make a living, but many people did. Trending #1: Windows, Apple and Google lost 100 billion yuan in a hacker attack. Divine Dragon Software is suspected to be behind this. Trending #2: Windows, Apple and Google in serious negotiations with Divine Dragon Country, requesting investigation into the Divine Dragon Software Company and Li Chengqian. Queries on legitimacy of the Company in Divine Dragon Country. Trending #3: Li Chengqian wins the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Trending #4: International media prepared to make things difficult for Li Chengqian at his championship speech. Trending #5: Li Chengqian prepared to launch a new product of the Divine Dragon Software Company at the Competition. ¡­ Trending #10: The luckiest people on earth are Li Chengqian¡¯s teammates. Zhao Peng and Ding Ling, who are they? They won direct admission to Divine Dragon University by doing nothing! ¡°I heard that the country representatives of three companies will be here today to question Li Chengqian on the spot,¡± someone said excitedly at the entrance of the auditorium. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. The Divine Dragon Software Company has already made an announcement. They said that they have nothing to do with this. The three companies are making baseless allegations.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System even made an announcement mocking the three companies. It said that the three companies¡¯ nests had been destroyed by hackers, which means that the technology of the three companies is not good. It further shows that the safety of the three companies¡¯ products is questionable.¡± ¡°It means that the Divine Dragon System is the safest system.¡± ¡°Everyone knows Windows security is non-existent.¡± ¡°Safety of the Android system? Oh, I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s never been such a thing.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know about the safety of the Apple system. In the past everyone thought that it was very good. However, after this incident, I think we need to rethink this.¡± ¡°F*ck, our Apple System is the safest system in the world.¡± A foreign reporter cursed in dissatisfaction after hearing everyone¡¯s discussion. He was so agitated he nearly wanted to hit someone. However, he was stopped by a burly security guard who was maintaining order. He asked in an extremely stern voice, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°He¡¯s slandering the security of the Apple system!¡± The security guard¡¯s expression was stern as he said loudly, ¡°This is Divine Dragon Country. We have freedom of speech! Whatever he says is his freedom. It has nothing to do with you!¡± The security guard was very imposing as he stared at the reporters. In the end, the reporter conceded defeat. After laughing awkwardly, he lowered his head and rushed to the auditorium. ¡°D*mn, what is this! Do you still think that the Divine Dragon Country is the Divine Dragon Country from 20 years ago? A foreigner is simply looking for trouble when he thinks he can lord over us,¡± the security guard said proudly. ¡°Good job, Li Yang!¡± The surrounding students gave the security guard a thumbs up. At this moment, the auditorium was packed. The auditorium, which could accommodate 30,000 people, was already filled with people. Many people were standing in the aisle because they couldn¡¯t find a seat. Everyone wanted to see Li Chengqian in person. Everyone was very curious as to why Li Chengqian was such a genius. Below the stage in the auditorium, many cameras had been set up. Originally, the award ceremony should be reported by Station 13 of the National Television Station, but it was Station 1 that came. Other than Station 1, all the internationally renowned media outlets had already rushed over after receiving the news. All the reporters came prepared with pointed questions. ¡°Did we go to the wrong place¡­! Why are all the academicians of the Academy of Sciences here? Look, that¡¯s Academician Lin Qu from the Software Research Institute, and that¡¯s Academician Gao Xiang from the Academy of Space Technology.¡± After seeing the people on stage, many students who didn¡¯t know the news thought that they had come to the wrong place. ¡°All the leaders of Divine Dragon University are here! Is this the National Science and Technology Conference?¡± A student said in extreme surprise. He had never encountered such a scene before. ¡°Damn, why is this Junior Informatics Programming Competition so awesome?¡± Some students had also participated in the award ceremony last year. At that time, only Dean Chen of the School of Information was present. In fact, in the past, Dean Chen had always been the one to host the competition awards. Soon, the award ceremony began. The process was no different from the previous years. However, the host was Principal Wu instead of Dean Chen. The process went very quickly. Principal Wu was very capable. He summarized the competition in a few words and quickly wrapped up the award ceremony. Finally, his gaze landed on Li Chengqian. ¡°Last but not least, let¡¯s invite our champion team, Li Chengqian¡¯s team, to go on stage. He¡¯s from Jinshan Province, Tianyi High School. In this competition, he scored full marks for the theory test and the hands-on test!¡± ¡°At the same time, Li Chengqian is the developer of the Divine Dragon System, a domestic operating system. He is also the developer of the Divine Dragon Compiler!¡± ¡°Furthermore, Li Chengqian invented the brainwave coding technology that transcended the times. It directly increased the input efficiency of computer information by a hundred times, allowing our country¡¯s information technology to directly surpass the entire world.¡± ¡°Everyone, please give a warm applause and invite Li Chengqian on stage.¡± Principal Wu¡¯s tone was uplifting. Enthusiastic applause came from the audience. Below the stage, the foreign media, who had appeared listless thus far, suddenly became excited. They aimed their cameras at Li Chengqian, capturing every single one of his actions. Li Chengqian and the other two walked onto the stage under everyone¡¯s applause, and stood in front of Principal Wu. ¡°Next, Academician Lin Qu, Academician Gao Xiang, and I will present the award to Li Chengqian¡¯s team!¡± Two academicians stood up at the same time and walked up with smiles on their faces. BOOM! A commotion came from the audience. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a little too high level? Academicians personally presenting Li Chengqian with the award!¡± ¡°Prinicipal Wu is also an academician, so all the prize presenters to Li Chengqian¡¯s team this time are academicians.¡± Someone was dumbfounded. ¡°In the past, it was Dean Chen from the Information School who presented the award to the champion team¡­ This standard is too different.¡± ¡°Academician personally presenting the award. He could brag about this for the rest of his life.¡± ¡°Only Li Chengqian¡¯s team is receiving the award from higher-level prize presenters, but the other teams aren¡¯t¡­¡± The one giving the awards to the others was still the same as the previous years, which was the professor from the Information School. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s achievements are beyond many academicians¡¯. He deserves this honor.¡± In fact, many people admired Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts. Domestic operating system! From the core to the desktop, it was all domestically produced! Moreover, the system was more useful than Windows, Apple, and Linux! Li Chengqian had done what the entire country wanted to do but failed to do. Just based on this point alone, it was very reasonable for Li Chengqian to receive all the glory. Many people were extremely envious when they saw this scene. A single award ceremony had surpassed 99.99% of the people. This was a height that most people would never be able to reach in their lives. It was awesome! Divine Dragon University placed too much importance on Li Chengqian. ¡°Congratulations, Li Chengqian! I hope you can continue to work hard in the software field and achieve greater achievements.¡± Academician Lin Qu smiled and handed the certificate to Li Chengqian. ¡°Congratulations, Li Chengqian! Stay grounded, stay humble. Keep up the good work.¡± Academician Lin Qu turned and said this to Li Chengqian after he handed Ding Ling¡¯s certificate to her. ¡°Li Chengqian, stay humble! Stay true to your cause! We are proud of your achievements! But in my opinion, this is only the tip of the iceberg, you are capable of a lot more. You will definitely be able to achieve greater achievements.¡± Principal Wu recalled what Li Chengqian had said at the school gate and advised him. He was worried that Li Chengqian would become arrogant. Once a person became arrogant, they would stagnate. At that time, Li Chengqian said that the Divine Dragon System would soon become widespread throughout the world, and everyone would come to the Divine Dragon Country to study. These words were indeed too arrogant. After he returned, he asked the people from the Information School to check the data. With the free personal version of the Divine Dragon System, the number of installations had only reached about 10 million. However, Windows had 1.2 billion installations! This was a huge difference of 120 times. Ding Ling and Zhao Peng held the certificate in front of them with smiles on their faces. Zhao Peng, in particular, was smiling so hard that his eyes couldn¡¯t be seen. It felt so good to win without doing anything. After the award ceremony ended, Principal Wu continued his work as the host. ¡°Next is the last two segments of this Junior Informatics Programming Competition¡­¡± ¡°The champion¡¯s speech, and¡­ the Q&A segment!¡± ¡°I know that many people specially came to attend this award ceremony because of Li Chengqian.¡± Principal Wu glanced at the reporters below the stage. There were at least 20 international media outlets present. ¡°However, I still have to take up the last bit of time to say a few words to Li Chengqian, in the name of Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, you have brought fame to the Junior Informatics Programming Competition because of your participation. Your name will be written in the history of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition!¡± ¡°The world will cheer you on. There will be exciting times ahead! Please stay true to your cause. My generation will watch you transform the software industry and the world.¡± ¡°The world belongs to you young people! Work hard and you can change everything! You can have anything you want! In the end, you will stand at the top of the world, together with the Divine Dragon Country!¡± Principal Wu said as he swept his eyes across the audience, at the contestants and the students of the Divine Dragon University. After Principal Wu finished speaking, a round of warm and enthusiastic applause came from the audience in the auditorium. He raised his hand to gesture, then continued, ¡°I¡¯ll now hand the stage over to Li Chengqian¡­ I know that everyone wants to hear him speak and ask him questions.¡± ¡°I believe that he will give everyone a surprise!¡± Chapter 190 - 190 Thoughts on the Future 190 Thoughts on the Future Li Chengqian walked to the podium and connected his computer to the screen in the auditorium. At the same time, the event broadcasted live on the internet, on national television stations, and through foreign media channels. ¡°First of all, I want to thank my parents! When my results were very bad, they didn¡¯t give up on me! Instead, they encouraged me and supported me! It was their support and trust that allowed me to achieve what I have achieved today.¡± Li Chengqian looked in the direction of the live television broadcast and bowed deeply! Whether it was in his previous life or this life, his parents had never given up on him. In front of the television, Chen Li and Li Tianlan, who were watching the live broadcast, had tears in their eyes. Their eyes were filled with pride, and their faces were filled with pride. Chen Li cried tears of joy. ¡°Chen Li, don¡¯t cry. We should be happy that our son is successful.¡± Li Tianlan kept comforting Chen Li. ¡°I¡¯m happy. Seeing that my son is successful, I¡¯m happy for him.¡± Chen Li wiped her tears and hugged Li Tianlan. She still couldn¡¯t stop tearing. ¡°All the more reason not to cry! We should smile.¡± Li Tianlan also hugged Chen Li and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. It was the wish of all parents to see their children become successful. Therefore, after watching Li Chengqian¡¯s great achievements, many parents were both happy and a little disappointed. This feeling was very complicated. ¡°I wonder which family nurtured such an outstanding son. I really want to learn from them.¡± ¡°If only my son was one-tenth as outstanding as Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°This child is really sensible. Everyone else first thanked the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, the school, the teachers, and finally the parents. Only Li Chengqian thanked his parents first. If only my child was so sensible.¡± ¡°His parents must be feeling so blessed.¡± ¡°I wonder what kind of family can nurture such outstanding talents.¡± At this moment, all the parents who watched the live broadcast were envious of Li Chengqian¡¯s parents. Not only did they nurture an outstanding son, but they also nurtured a filial and sensible son! After Li Chengqian bowed, he thanked everyone else who deserved to be thanked, in the usual order. He then began to talk about serious matters. He gently tapped on the big screen. Two words appeared¡­ The future! ¡°The topic I¡¯m going to talk about today is my vision for the future.¡± ¡°In the future, the Divine Dragon System will be installed on all equipment. The other insecure and inefficient systems will lose their territories. I will give people a safe, fast, and smooth software environment.¡± ¡°The personal version of the Divine Dragon System will enter thousands of households. Family and personal users will get free, safe, convenient, and efficient services. Moreover, the personal version will also become a data processing center for families, helping users intelligently control all the appliances in the family.¡± ¡°The enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System is equipped with the world-leading support service of the Divine Dragon System. It will provide superbly powerful support to all companies.¡± ¡°The mobile version of the Divine Dragon System will become the standard for everyone¡¯s mobile phones. The mobile version and the computer version will be connected. The personal computer will become a convenient personal server.¡± ¡°The embedded version will provide the most complete system-level functional support for industrial equipment, home appliances, wearable equipment, smart furniture, vehicles, aircraft, and other specific industries. It will help enterprises evolve into smart enterprises.¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. As he spoke, the big screen was also demonstrating the various versions and functions of the Divine Dragon System. However, Li Chengqian¡¯s vision was questioned by the vast majority of people. Because there was a fatal loophole in Li Chengqian¡¯s words. ¡°However, there is a prerequisite. The Divine Dragon System has to be installed on all the equipment first.¡± ¡°This is an inspiring vision. There is a prerequisite for almost all aspects of this vision, and that is to install the Divine Dragon System on all equipment.¡± ¡°Even if Li Chengqian develops these versions of the system, there¡¯s no chance!¡± ¡°Most servers use a free Linux system. The Linux system is safe, open-source, free, efficient, and stable. It is irreplaceable.¡± ¡°In terms of the desktop system, everyone is used to using Windows. Although the Divine Dragon System is very useful now, not many people have switched from Windows to the Divine Dragon System. Although Windows costs money, it¡¯s effectively free in the Divine Dragon Country. There¡¯s no need to switch.¡± ¡°On the embedded version, every manufacturer uses a system that they developed themselves. They all carry their own unique technology. Unless they¡¯re crazy, they definitely won¡¯t use the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s system.¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more so for the automotive operating system. No car manufacturer would adopt the Divine Dragon System! Unless they¡¯ve gone dumb.¡± ¡°As for aircraft, Li Chengqian really dares to brag! Li Chengqian can forget about touching the aircraft system for ten lifetimes unless he can set up an aircraft manufacturing factory himself.¡± The operating system of aircraft was a top-secret project belonging to various countries. How could they possibly use the Divine Dragon System? That was absolutely impossible. ¡°Only enterprises have no choice but to adopt the enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System because they need to use the brainwave coding technology to improve productivity. Once the brainwave coding technology is no longer unique to the Divine Dragon System, no one will use their enterprise version.¡± ¡°On the phone system, the cost-effectiveness of the Divine Dragon System is extremely high. It does have certain advantages.¡± Most people felt that Li Chengqian was bragging and it was all empty talk. Even Principal Wu, who was seated on stage, felt uneasy that Li Chengqian was bragging too much. He originally thought that Li Chengqian¡¯s speech would start with the Intelligent CAD software, which was really an awesome technology! But he didn¡¯t understand what had gotten into Li Chengqian. Instead of focusing on an area where he had an advantage, he kept harping on unrealistic things. ¡°I want to have a good talk with Li Chengqian after this. I have to remind him to be down-to-earth and not be arrogant!¡± Academician Lin Qu and Academician Gao Xiang were both initially very surprised, but then the surprise turned into anticipation. After interacting with Li Chengqian for so long, they had never seen Li Chengqian fail to keep his word. Li Chengqian had always delivered on his words. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s speech, the reporters from the foreign media were all excited. They formulated some pointed questions on Li Chengqian¡¯s vision and were prepared to bring them up during the Q&A segment later to embarrass him. Some people were already drafting their press releases. The headline had already been written. ¡°Li Chengqian is getting ahead of himself.¡± Overseas, almost all the technology companies were watching Li Chengqian¡¯s live broadcast. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words in the live broadcast, many people burst out laughing. The people who originally valued Li Chengqian suddenly became disdainful. This press conference was all empty talk, a press conference designed to attract investments. As for Li Chengqian, he was no different from other businessmen. He didn¡¯t even have a fart, but he was already bragging and talking about the future. This was obviously a scam. ¡°Li Chengqian, the market for PC operating systems belongs to Windows. No one can take it away from Windows.¡± Satia¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. If looks could kill, Li Chengqian would have been cut into pieces by him. When GKH, the person in charge of the Linux Foundation, heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, he laughed so hard that he almost cried. Originally, he still felt that Li Chengqian was a somebody. After hearing his words, he felt that he had given him too much credit. Li Chengqian was simply an idiot for aiming to replace Linux¡¯s status. In the world, 99.99% of servers use the Linux system, and 99.99% of embedded systems use the Linux core. All visible operating systems belong to Windows, and all operating systems that are invisible to background services belong to Linux. The routers, televisions, and so on in your house were all running the Linux system or the Linux modification system. The Linux system was an invincible system. Safe, stable, free, open source! This was something that other systems could never compare to. ¡°A megalomaniac!¡± GKB shook his head and turned off the live broadcast. There were many such megalomaniacs turning up every year, and they were not worthy of his attention. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes swept across the audience, his gaze incomparably cold. He knew very well what these people were thinking! There must be many people who said in their hearts that he was arrogant and had been blinded by his achievements. ¡°Zhao Peng, help me bring the items up!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t explain, but waved at Zhao Peng. Beside Zhao Peng, there were a total of three laptops installed with Windows, Apple, and Linux. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s command, Zhao Peng, who had long been prepared, handed over the three computers. ¡°Alright!¡± After Bai Ze copied the source codes of the three systems, he discovered a loophole in the three systems that was deliberately left inside¡­ Collect user information, manipulate user computers, copy user data. One line of code would do the trick. Li Chengqian even discovered a terrifying surveillance plan on the servers of the three companies. The entire world was under this surveillance plan. This surveillance plan provided a huge amount of information to the three companies. This information was eventually forwarded to the CIA. As long as these loopholes were exposed, it would definitely cause a huge blow to the credibility of the three systems. The countries and companies that were currently using the three systems would definitely shudder! In the past, there were only three systems in the world. Even if they knew, they could only endure it and look the other way. Now, there is a fourth system in the world! The Divine Dragon System! They don¡¯t have to put up with this anymore, they have options now. Chapter 191 - 191 Code 1996 191 Code 1996 ¡°Recently, I accidentally discovered something terrifying in the course of my work,¡± Li Chengqian said softly after taking the three computers. Everyone didn¡¯t understand what was going on. When they heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, they felt baffled. Li Chengqian had just been talking about his grand plans for the Divine Dragon System. In the next moment, he suddenly said something completely unrelated. This puzzled many people. ¡°I found a line of special code in Windows!¡± While Li Chengqian was speaking, Zhao Peng had already connected all three computers to the big screen so that everyone present could see clearly. ¡°I just have to key this code into the target computer¡­ As long as the other party¡¯s computer is connected to the internet, even if the other party¡¯s computer is locked, I can obtain all the information in the other party¡¯s computer.¡± Li Chengqian spoke as he operated on the big screen. Focus Bug.1996 192.168.1.101 The IP address that Li Chengqian had entered was the computer that Zhao Peng had just brought up and placed beside him. After entering this code, the information began to transfer quickly. A folder named after the IP address appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s desktop. It stored all the file data in the Windows system. Seeing this scene, many people¡¯s eyes widened in extreme shock. ¡°Heavens, how is this possible! A line of code was all it took to hack into the Windows system, and all the information can be copied.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too scary. As long as the other party knows the IP address of my computer, anyone can enter my computer at any time.¡± ¡°There are rumors on the internet that Li Chengqian hacked the internal servers of three operating systems. Could this be the method he used?¡± In the audience, some of the young people¡¯s expressions changed. Young people are playful and can be risque. They have many videos stored in their computers as keepsakes. They originally thought that nothing would ever go wrong, but now it seemed that they were vulnerable. ¡°Oh my god, if the video gets leaked, how can I face the world?¡± ¡°Windows is too f*cking unsafe. I¡¯ll immediately switch to the Divine Dragon System when I get back!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stop what he was doing. He instructed Zhao Peng, ¡°Zhao Peng, unplug the internet cable and create an encrypted file. Type in whatever content you want and then plug in the internet cable.¡± Zhao Peng had just finished plugging in the internet cable when the document that Zhao Peng had just created was teleported over from the folder to Li Chengqian¡¯s desk. Without needing to enter anything, Li Chengqian opened this document. ¡°As long as you are monitored by this line of code, all the files in the computer will be updated in real time by Windows¡­¡± ¡°Confidential documents, action plans, national policies, and so on. Business plans, even project files¡­¡± ¡°As long as Windows has their eyes on us, there are no secrets to speak of. They can take our data assets away at any time!¡± Whether it was the academicians on stage or the audience below the stage, when they saw this, they felt extremely terrified and broke out in cold sweat. A brand new fighter jet designed in the Windows system and would immediately be noticed by the other party. A virtual currency stored in the Windows system and can be taken away directly by Windows. There was some confidential information that was not meant for anyone¡¯s eyes. But there was nothing confidential to speak of, as far as Windows was concerned. This was truly terrifying. The Divine Dragon Country was aware of this phenomenon, so they desperately wanted to develop their own system. ¡°The government departments must start investigating immediately and replace all the Windows systems!¡± A thought flashed through the minds of the two academicians at the same time. The Windows system was too dangerous. This was not an operating system. This was espionage. ¡°F*ck, Windows doesn¡¯t care about ethics. I insist on using the original, and this is how you repay me for my honesty? By stealing my data? I¡¯m going to go back and install the Divine Dragon System immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll immediately switch to the Divine Dragon System when I get back. I don¡¯t want to become the protagonist of some websites.¡± ¡°Oh, f*ck Windows, long live Apple!¡± The reporter who almost had a conflict with the students at the door was flushed with pride. He raised the Apple phone in his hand and even began to dance. ¡°Fortunately, I use an Apple computer and Apple system!¡± Some people had proud smiles on their faces. ¡°The system I¡¯m using is a safe and stable Linux system, not a flawed Windows system.¡± ¡°I will only feel safe if it¡¯s a domestic system. In the future, I¡¯ll switch to the Divine Dragon System. It is free and I heard that it¡¯s not bad. I just don¡¯t know if Weiwei, QQ, and iQiyi can be run on the system¡­ I don¡¯t know if the installation is complicated.¡± Many girls were a little worried. Girls will be girls, they tend to enjoy taking some risque photos for their own enjoyment. In the past, they had always felt that Windows was safe and secure, and easy to use. It was only now that they realized that if they didn¡¯t switch systems, they might become one of the admired images on some websites. For individual users, the impact wasn¡¯t that great, even though it was hard to accept privacy violations. No one would want their secrets to be leaked. For corporate users and national users, Windows was simply a spy. It absolutely couldn¡¯t be tolerated. ¡°Everyone can try the 1996 code¡­ to verify my findings,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. He looked at the camera as if he could see Satia, Cook, Pi Chayi, and the others behind the camera. ¡­ Meanwhile, overseas, after watching Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, Satia was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He suddenly stood up from his seat, his face contorted. This time, he was completely sure that the person who transferred their assets and deleted the company¡¯s data not long ago was Li Chengqian! ¡°It¡¯s him, Li Chengqian. It¡¯s this bastard who stole the source codes of Windows!¡± ¡°Code 1996 is a top-secret code! It¡¯s impossible for outsiders to know unless he obtained all the data on our company¡¯s intranet.¡± Coincidence? What coincidence? Only a fool would buy this lie. Satia didn¡¯t believe a word of it. Right on the heels of that, Satia thought of the influence of the 1996 code, and he trembled uncontrollably. He felt cold all over, all the warmth left his body. The 1996 code had already been announced by Li Chengqian. Everyone knew about Windows¡¯ plan to monitor the world. Windows have been exposed for stealing user data and violating user privacy! The consequences of this incident were even more serious than Li Chengqian stealing the source codes of Windows. It was foreseeable that government departments in many countries would stop using Windows and sue them because of this matter. It is also impossible for large enterprises to continue to use Windows, as there is a high risk of data leakage. At the thought of these consequences, Satia¡¯s face turned pale. He felt all the strength in his body being sucked away. His face was ashen as he lost all his strength and slumped on the chair. Previously, Li Chengqian had deleted all the data in the server, causing huge damage to Windows. This time, the announcement of the 1996 code¡­ was going to destroy Windows! ¡°I want to kill him. I must kill Li Chengqian! Only by killing him can things turn around and change.¡± Satia roared angrily. Due to the rumors that Li Chengqian had hacked the servers of three operating systems, the attention on this live broadcast was very high. Many people overseas were watching closely. Many tech companies were watching Li Chengqian¡¯s live broadcast. After hearing about this 1996 code, they couldn¡¯t believe it at first, and then they were very shocked. They began experimenting. When they realized that the 1996 code was real, they were furious. ¡°That damn Windows. We spent money to buy the software rights from their company. I really didn¡¯t expect them to be monitoring our company¡¯s every move!¡± ¡°That damn Windows has been monitoring our Dongyi government!¡± ¡°Abandon Windows. Our Dongyi government will only use the secure Linux system in the future!¡± ¡°Abandon¡­¡± On the internet, many countries began to condemn Windows¡¯ actions and released word that they wanted to punish Windows. Then, the popularity of the Linux system instantly exploded. A large number of corporate users and institutional users indicated that they were going to use the Linux system. GKH, the person in charge of the Linux Foundation, laughed heartily when he saw the talk on the internet. Li Chengqian took out the 1996 code, which shocked him! ¡°Thank you, megalomaniac. It was your revelation that caused the number of users of the Linux system to increase greatly.¡± The person in charge of the Linux Foundation, GKH, turned on Li Chengqian¡¯s live broadcast again and gave him the middle finger. Based on the current situation, he would emerge the biggest winner. Chapter 192 - 192 Shudder 192 Shudder Hearing the discussions around him, many people were saying that in the future, they would choose the safe and free Linux system, the safe Apple system, but very few people mention that they would choose the Divine Dragon System. Li Chengqian sneered in his heart. That was because they were simple minded! After this press conference, no one would have the right to choose. The Divine Dragon System would become everyone¡¯s only choice. Li Chengqian continued, ¡°In the Windows system, I found the 1996 code.¡± ¡°In the Apple system, I also found a similar code¡­¡± Li Chengqian began to demonstrate again. After entering a line of code, the much idolized Apple system copied all the files onto his desktop. Apple computers, Apple tablets, and Apple mobile phones were all the same as long as they were equipped with Apple systems! It was exactly the same as the performance in the Windows system. As long as any file updates appeared, the updated files would be updated to Li Chengqian¡¯s desktop at the same time. Then, there was the Linux system! And all systems that used the Linux kernel, such as the Android system, such as the Red Hat system¡­ It was the same, a line of code could steal all the data! Moreover, all equipment that used the Linux core could be controlled by this line of code. Phones, televisions, routers, game consoles at home¡­ There was an uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration. Apple system! Linux system! Windows system! All systems had similar codes for monitoring users. Security was non-existent! Privacy was nonsense. ¡°F*ck, my computer is installed with anti-virus software that costs a few hundred yuan a year. It¡¯s useless at all. We are defenseless in the face of the three companies.¡± ¡°Why? Why is Apple also doing stupid things like monitoring users?¡± It was the foreign reporter who was using Apple. He was an Apple fan. Previously, he was still smug and said that the Apple system was very safe and would not steal user data. He was crestfallen. He no longer knew who to trust anymore. Many people at the scene were using Apple phones. When they saw what Li Chengqian demonstrated on stage, their faces fell. People pay more to use Apple phones because they were supposed to be safe and useful! In particular, there were many girls who had all kinds of selfies on their phones. After watching Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, they were very nervous. Some people quickly turned off their phones, while others quickly deleted their private photos, afraid that the code Li Chengqian had released would cause the private information in their phones to be leaked. Then how could they face anyone in the future? ¡°It¡¯s too scary! The world is under the surveillance of these three companies! As long as you use a computer, your data will be leaked overseas.¡± Academician Lin Qu felt a chill down his spine. ¡°Fortunately, the country has long been suspicious of the security of the operating systems. Our secret unit¡¯s network is isolated from the internet. Otherwise¡­ the consequences would be unimaginable!¡± This was the only consolation that Academician Lin Qu had. ¡°This is too terrifying. He¡¯s simply a spy and a robber!¡± Even Principal Wu¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. If the three companies included the equipment of the Divine Dragon University in their surveillance range, any scientific and technological achievements obtained by the University would fall into their hands. ¡°F*ck you, even the free, open source, and safe Linux. You even have this line of code in the system core. It¡¯s too sinister! No wonder our software can¡¯t beat those overseas. They¡¯ve been stealing our hard work¡­¡± He Hongyun almost cursed. He was also shocked by the effect of Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration and broke out in cold sweat! He thought of a possibility. Baidu had worked hard to develop new technology and algorithms. They would be ahead of their competitors initially. And yet¡­ Before Baidu Corporation released the technology, his competitor had already used this line of code to steal the technology that Baidu had spent a lot of money to develop. And they began to use this new technology. How could they compete? What was the point of playing like this? On the other side of the ocean, Cook¡¯s face darkened. He felt dizzy and his vision darkened. Fear emerged in his heart. Because he got too emotional, he kept his hand pressed hard against his chest. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He opened his mouth weakly, and his breathing was labored. ¡°President!¡± The assistant quickly poured a life-saving pill into his mouth. Cook took a long time to recover. Then, he began to scold angrily, ¡°F*ck, F*ck! This wicked bastard¡­ Not only did he steal our company¡¯s source codes, but he also used the stolen data to attack us.¡± Apple products are so expensive. Why did they have such a big market share? Because Apple was synonymous with high-end. It was synonymous with safety and ease of use. This was the secret to Apple¡¯s success. Now, Li Chengqian made known the monitoring port left behind by Apple. The security, privacy, and sophistication of Apple instantly became a joke. Beads of sweat appeared on Cook¡¯s forehead. He knew that if this matter was not handled well, Apple would face a major crisis. However, Cook did not despair. Windows only provided users with operating systems, which users could switch at any time. As for Apple, its system was built into its equipment. It was a closed-source system. Even if the users were not satisfied, there was no way to change it. Apple products are known for their high prices. Now, the cost of getting users to give up on using Apple products and change their phones, computers, and tablets was not low. It was not something that could be changed just like that. As long as Apple sincerely admits its mistake and handles the issue promptly and properly, it still has hope of retaining its users. However, this matter would definitely have a huge impact. If it was not handled well, it would become a fatal problem. On the other side, GKH, the person in charge of the Linux Foundation, who thought that he would emerge the biggest winner, was stunned. The monitoring code in the core of Linux had always existed, running and activating with the system¡¯s core program. Embedded in the support code at the base of Linux, even if Linux is an open-source system and its source code is widely distributed on the network, no one has ever discovered the issues in the core code. All along, people¡¯s impression of the Linux system was that it was safe, free, open-source, and stable¡­ GHK felt that from today onwards, the word ¡°safety¡± would disappear from the description of the Linux system. ¡°So what if you found the surveillance code of the Linux system? This world can abandon Windows, but it can¡¯t leave the Linux system!¡± However, although GKH was very surprised, he was still fearless. So what if everyone knew that they were being monitored? Other than Linux, was there any other choice? No! In the server field, in the embedded systems, there is no alternative operating system to Linux. This was where GHK¡¯s confidence lay. Even if you knew that there was something wrong with my products, you have no choice but to use mine. Want to cancel the listening port? That was impossible because the port was the basic component of Linux. Unless the kernel of the Linux system was rewritten, it could not be canceled. Chapter 193 - 193 Future Programming Software 193 Future Programming Software In the auditorium of Divine Dragon University. Li Chengqian only touched on the subject briefly. After briefly demonstrating the loopholes in the three systems, he continued talking about his vision for the future. Many people were stunned. They thought that Li Chengqian would take this opportunity to promote the Divine Dragon System, but Li Chengqian had not mentioned it at all. Pointing out the problems of the three operating systems was like a public service announcement to everyone. He had no commercial agenda. Originally, many people had a bad impression of Li Chengqian, especially those overseas. They were naturally biased against the people of the Divine Dragon Country. They felt that Li Chengqian had exposed the problems of the three operating systems because he wanted to promote his own Divine Dragon System. Li Chengqian was no different from other unscrupulous businessmen. His ultimate goal was to make money from them. However, Li Chengqian did not do so. This made many people have a good impression of Li Chengqian. ¡°Although Li Chengqian is also a businessman, he¡¯s still a little different from the others.¡± ¡°Perhaps I can try to use the Divine Dragon System. It¡¯s a free system anyway. If it¡¯s not useful, I can immediately change back to Windows¡­¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s topic continued. ¡°The software industry of the future is the era of intelligent programs.¡± ¡°Intelligent programming software can reduce the work of programmers by more than 90%! Just like this¡­ You only need to tell the programming software your needs, or the software proposal¡­¡± Li Chengqian operated the computer as he spoke and opened the intelligent programming software developed by Bai Ze for the Divine Dragon System. Jade Disk programming software. Li Chengqian named it Jade Disk as he was inspired by the Jade Plate of Creation mythology . It was named after the Jade Plate of Creation mythology, where the Heavenly Dao and mythological laws were woven, to signify the ability of the Jade Plate programming software. The working interface of the Jade Disk programming software is divided into two parts, the first part is the code area, which allows code input. The second part was the experimental display area. It could transform unfinished code into software in real time, and allowed the programmer to experiment with software functions, finetune the software interface, and so on. ¡°Jade Disk, I want to develop a simple calculator software!¡± Immediately, the neat and standard codes appeared on the code area of the programming software. In the experimental display area, a primitive calculator software with a simple command line appeared. ¡°I need a graphical interface. The graphical interface needs to show numbers, add and subtract¡­ and such and such buttons.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, a large amount of codes was instantly added to the code area. In the experimental display area, a very simple calculator interface had already appeared. Li Chengqian only dragged the icon to the approximate position and pressed the automatic alignment button. Immediately, a very beautiful software interface was completed. And this operation only took Li Chengqian two minutes. Li Chengqian operated the calculator a few times in front of everyone. There was no problem with the calculator¡¯s function. ¡°Jade Disk, I need to add a step recording function to the calculator! Remember my calculation steps for the first 100 steps.¡± In an instant, a large number of codes were automatically generated, and the calculator obtained the step-recording ability. After Li Chengqian showed it to everyone, he said to the computer again, ¡°Jade Disk, help me pack this software and produce the Divine Dragon System PC version and mobile phone version. This software is called Experimental Calculator 01.¡± A notification appeared on the interface of the Jade Disk software. ¡°Jade Disk, help me upload the software to the Divine Dragon Shop for copyright registration! Also, sell it at a buyout price of 0.01 yuan.¡± ¡°Copyright registration of code completed!¡± ¡°Successfully uploaded to the mall!¡± Then, Li Chengqian opened the Divine Dragon Mall software on his computer and entered the name of the calculator. After paying 0.01 yuan, he downloaded, installed, and used it. The entire process, from Li Chengqian opening the Jade Disk programming software to Li Chengqian installing the software and using it, took less than two minutes. ¡°This is the future of the software industry. With the support of intelligent software, software that usually takes 10 days or longer to develop can be developed in a few minutes.¡± ¡°Software that usually takes one year to develop can now be completed within a few days using the Jade Disk software.¡± ¡°One development can be used on multiple platforms.¡± ¡°The copyright registration of the code can ensure that the developer¡¯s interests are safeguarded.¡± ¡°There is only one way to install the software, thus there is no room for pirated software to survive.¡± ¡°The compiler for Jade Disk programming software directly converts the software code into machine code. This software runs faster than the C language, ensuring the performance of the software developed.¡± ¡°This is my vision of what the future software industry looks like.¡± After Li Chengqian finished saying this, he paused. When Li Chengqian was demonstrating the Jade Disk programming software, there was complete silence! In the auditorium that accommodated 30,000 people, no one made a sound. Everyone held their breaths and stared intently at the demonstration on the big screen, afraid of disturbing Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration and also afraid of missing important details. During Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, everyone¡¯s faces involuntarily carried shocked expressions. The Jade Disk programming software was super advanced! It was unbelievably advanced, just like alien technology. If one didn¡¯t see it with their own eyes, no one would believe that there was such advanced programming software. ¡°This is a great invention that will transform the software industry!¡± ¡°This is unbelievable. I almost thought I was dreaming.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I feel the Divine Dragon Software Company is out of this world. Their company¡¯s products are too advanced¡­ First, it¡¯s brainwave coding technology. Now, it¡¯s this Jade Disk programming software¡­¡± On stage, whether it was Academician Lin Qu, Academician Gao Xiang, or Principal Wu, their eyes were filled with shock. ¡°This is the latest codeless programming! It¡¯s just that Li Chengqian¡¯s version is the future version!¡± ¡°Not only did Li Chengqian have results that shocked the world on the operating system, but he¡¯s also amazing to this extent in terms of intelligent programming!¡± ¡°This kid, I have actually underestimated him.¡± The professors of the Divine Dragon University¡¯s Information School all widened their eyes and stared fixedly at Li Chengqian. The laymen were watching the commotion and felt that the effect of Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration was very impressive. As experts, after they saw Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration, they looked at Li Chengqian as if they were looking at a god. In their opinion, What Li Chengqian demonstrated was not a codeless platform at all, but¡­ artificial intelligence! ¡°This is artificial intelligence! Only artificial intelligence has this ability!¡± Dean Chen said with extreme certainty, his eyes filled with desire. ¡°Yes, if Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration just now wasn¡¯t fake, this is definitely something that only artificial intelligence can do!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has developed a real artificial intelligence program! This is news that will shock the world.¡± On the internet, the netizens who had watched the live broadcast couldn¡¯t help but comment. In an instant, a large number of discussions about Jade Disk, the intelligent programming software appeared. ¡°This is simply Zenith Star technology. It¡¯s unbelievable!¡± ¡°I just want to ask, if the Jade Disk intelligent programming software is real, will programmers like us still have a job in the future?¡± ¡°Who said that Divine Dragon Software doesn¡¯t have its own compiler or programming software and that its technology isn¡¯t good?¡± ¡°Oh, from now on, the software industry in the world belongs to the Divine Dragon Country. There¡¯s nothing else for other countries to do!¡± Li Chengqian took a sip of water and continued the topic he had just mentioned. ¡°The Jade Disk intelligence programming software has been uploaded to the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company. It¡¯s completely free! As long as the computer uses the Divine Dragon System, it can be used¡­ If you¡¯re interested, you can download it and try it.¡± ¡°Just now, because of time constraints, I used the Jade Disk intelligent programming software to write a very simple calculator software. In fact, the Jade Disk can complete the development of any large software. The Jade Disc intelligent programming software was Li Chengqian¡¯s grand strategy to perfect the Divine Dragon System. Firstly, it could attract many people to use the Divine Dragon System! Secondly, it could enrich the software of the Divine Dragon System. After Li Chengqian finished introducing the Jade Disk, he continued to share his thoughts on the future. ¡°Just now, we used the Jade Disk intelligent programming software to show what intelligent programming software in the software industry will look like.¡± ¡°Then has anyone thought about what the intelligent programs of the other industries will look like?¡± Li Chengqian threw out a series of questions. ¡°For example, what will a CAD-type design software evolve into?¡± ¡°For example, how will simulation software evolve?¡± ¡°What do you think cars and planes will look like in the future?¡± ¡°For example, what will automated control software in industrial production become?¡± ¡°In other fields that everyone is familiar with, what will the future be like? I don¡¯t know if everyone has thought about this before.¡± Under Li Chengqian¡¯s guidance, many people were thinking about what the future would look like. They were imagining the future development direction of the industry. In fact, most people knew that it would be more advanced in the future, but very few people could say for sure what it was. Those who could explain the future development direction and details were all big shots in various industries. ¡°Li Chengqian, just say it. Share it with us. In your eyes, what¡¯s the future of every industry?¡± Someone below the stage asked loudly. Many people followed suit and urged. ¡°Yeah, Li Chengqian, hurry up and show it. I can¡¯t wait anymore!¡± ¡°Will the future Li Chengqian shows this time be like the Jade Disk intelligent programming software? Will it be our future and his present?¡± ¡°Really, I¡¯m looking forward to Li Chengqian¡¯s views on the future.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us quickly.¡± Not only were the people present very curious, but the netizens watching the live broadcast were also very curious. Everyone stared intently at the live broadcast and looked at Li Chengqian, who was smiling. Even the people overseas watching the live broadcast looked at Li Chengqian expectantly, wanting to hear Li Chengqian¡¯s thoughts on the future. The other language versions of the Divine Dragon System¡¯s one-click migration software were already online! Anyone could download the one-click migration software and install the personal version of the Divine Dragon System. Therefore, many people overseas were furious when they found out that they were being monitored. They began to look for a replacement for the Windows system. After searching for a while, they realized that the personal version of the Divine Dragon System was the only substitute. ¡°The Divine Dragon System is free for individuals. There¡¯s a Jade Disk intelligent programming software built into the system. I want to try it out. If the Divine Dragon System is useful, I¡¯ll use it in the future.¡± ¡°That damn Windows has been monitoring me and stealing my privacy. I¡¯m going to sue them!¡± Chapter 194 - 194 A CAD Software that Can Make the Nation Strong 194 A CAD Software that Can Make the Nation Strong On everyone¡¯s urging, Li Chengqian did not continue to whet everyone¡¯s appetite. Instead, he directly demonstrated. ¡°The future CAD software is also an intelligent software. The software will do all the repetitive work¡­¡± Li Chengqian opened the official website of Divine Dragon Software and then opened the Smart Building CAD software. ¡°As long as you input the simplest data, the software can automatically plan the layout!¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Li Chengqian entered a simple parameter. A beautiful 3D model of a villa was generated on the big screen. ¡°We only need to do some creative work!¡± Li Chengqian adjusted the layout of the rooms and the layout of the porch, making the villa more comfortable to live in. ¡°Automated computation of the structure and automated production of the construction drawings!The structure that is produced is very safe and scientific. Construction cost is minimized without compromising safety.¡± ¡°Automated construction cost calculation!¡± ¡°Automated calculation of materials!¡± ¡°You can also order all the raw materials on the software platform.¡± ¡°You can also appoint a construction firm via the platform. The construction costs will also be automatically calculated by the software.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he opened the blueprint he had generated and opened the automatic fee calculation. ¡°The construction cost of a new 400-square-meter villa is about 1.2 million yuan for a mid-range renovation. The materials cost is 840,000 yuan, and the labor cost is 360,000 yuan.¡± ¡°The construction period is 2 months!¡± ¡°The software also has a full commission function. Users can directly commission the software to help with the construction.¡± ¡°If I have a piece of land in Dragon City, as long as I click on it now and pay the money to the platform, I can live in a villa I designed two months later.¡± Whether it was the audience in the auditorium or the live broadcast audience, they were all stunned. ¡°Oh my god, this software is simply godly.¡± ¡°Complete the design of a villa in three minutes. Is this a myth?¡± ¡°F*ck, if this continues, how can we survive in the future if we study civil engineering?¡± ¡°I want to register immediately and join the civil engineers database of the intelligent building CAD software to make a living.¡± ¡°This will transform the entire construction and renovation industry.¡± ¡°Coincidentally, my house is about to be renovated. The renovation companies are all profiteers. I¡¯ll try using the intelligent building CAD software first. It looks quite simple.¡± ¡°This 3D modeling ability is simply at the level of a game engine! And it¡¯s at the level of the most advanced game engine.¡± Li Chengqian did not stop talking. He continued to demonstrate as he had planned. ¡°Just now, we demonstrated the design of a small project.¡± ¡°Now, let me show everyone the design of a large-scale project!¡± Li Chengqian chose a large-scale real estate project and simply entered the floor area, number of buildings, and other parameters. On the big screen, a large project was directly generated. The 3D model was lifelike, as if it had been completed. Beside the 3D model was a summary of the various parameters of the project. There were civil engineering students in the auditorium. When Li Chengqian demonstrated how the software could be used to build a villa, they were very surprised. When they saw how the software could generate a large-scale project, their eyes popped out. This was because after taking a closer look, they realized that the design of the software was better than many projects they had seen. Lighting, greenery, outdoor space planning, and everything else was thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable and livable space. Just like when he designed the villa previously, the software automatically generated a list of materials and related data such as construction costs. All materials, construction managers, and even construction teams could be entrusted to the software What¡¯s more, the cost control of the intelligent building CAD software was excellent. Without any middlemen earning the difference, the materials factory went straight to the construction site. The price of materials procured through the intelligent building CAD software was about 5% cheaper than the previous materials procurement method. Five percent might not seem like a lot, but when the base number reached hundreds of millions, this was astronomical savings. ¡°It¡¯s too advanced! This intelligent building CAD software is miles ahead of foreign CAD software. It¡¯s too smart and advanced. It¡¯s simply like artificial intelligence.¡± ¡°As long as this intelligent building CAD software is verified, the project it designed will definitely become popular.¡± This was what everyone was thinking. ¡°As long as the price is right, this software is simply a divine tool for real estate development.¡± ¡°The software automatically calculates the most efficient use of land, while still complying with the country¡¯s regulations. The intelligent building CAD software would design a built up area of 110,000 square meters, while a conventional design would only yield 100,000 square meters of built up area.¡± ¡°Based on 6,000 yuan per square meter, that¡¯s a difference of 60 million yuan.¡± ¡°After the intelligent building CAD software appears, there will be many cross-border real estate developers because the software can handle a lot of the most challenging tasks.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you care about the speed of the software? The design of a 100,000 square meter commercial-residential project can be done in ten minutes, including the construction drawings. Construction work can commence immediately. This is simply a f*cking legend.¡± ¡°I dare to say that the designers basically have nothing to do in the future!¡± Li Chengqian did not stop after completing the demonstration of the large-scale project. This was because using intelligent building CAD software to design a large-scale commercial-residential project was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The real use of the intelligent building CAD software was super-large-scale projects, such as building a grand canal. ¡°If the Divine Dragon Country wants to build a new canal to direct water from the west to the east.¡± ¡°If we use an ordinary design method, the survey design can take 20 years to complete because there are too many factors to consider. We have to use the existing valley, the original river, and at the same time, we have to consider the surrounding villages and all other factors.¡± ¡°We need to make the best use of what was already present. We need to consider the economics of the project, and we also have to consider the route of the canal and other factors.¡± Li Chengqian paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°If we use the intelligent building CAD software to design it¡­¡± ¡°We just need to import the terrain data, original river data, and the location data of the villages into the software.¡± ¡°Then select the starting and ending points, input the water flow in the canal, and the parameters of the ships running on the canal.¡± ¡°The software can automatically calculate the most suitable route, the most economical plan, the fastest construction method, and so on¡­¡± ¡°In addition to being able to quickly design canals, the intelligent building CAD software can also quickly complete the design of highway networks, high-speed rail networks, overall city planning, and other super-large-scale projects.¡± ¡°It would allow projects that would have taken many years to complete to be designed in an extremely short period of time.¡± ¡°This way, we can quickly promote the country¡¯s infrastructure construction.¡± ¡°Because the design of a mega-project requires a long time to calculate. It will probably take about 10 days to design. I won¡¯t be doing the demonstration here.¡± ¡°Everyone, the future is an intelligent future. All repetitive work will be replaced by intelligent software.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like plowing the land. From a hoe to a machine! Production efficiency is ten thousand times higher.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a long journey. You go from walking to taking a car and a plane. Your speed is ten thousand times faster.¡± ¡°In the future, computer-aided design will be the same. It can increase the efficiency of the design by ten thousand times!¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone in the auditorium looked shocked and dumbfounded. ¡°Complete the design of a canal in ten days? This¡­ is terrifying! This software is simply at the level of a nuclear weapon!¡± This design speed had indeed increased by ten thousand times, or even more. ¡°I¡¯ll tell my boyfriend when I get back to immediately switch professions. He should quit civil engineering! With the intelligent building CAD of the Divine Dragon Software Company, most architects will lose their jobs.¡± Architects would definitely still exist, but the mediocre ones would probably lose their jobs. ¡°The functions of the intelligent building CAD software are too strong. The design of canals, road networks, and cities, such national-level functions must not be open to foreign countries. Once it¡¯s opened, it will allow many countries to catch up on their infrastructure.¡± Some people were worried about this. Many countries did not have their own design ability, but with intelligent building CAD software, it was equivalent to having national design ability. This was too terrifying. This was a software that could change a country¡¯s design ability! Chapter 195 - 195 The Whole World Is Watching 195 The Whole World Is Watching ¡°That¡¯s impossible! How can there be such an advanced CAD software!¡± Tom, the person in charge of AutoCAD Corporation, almost fell off his chair when he saw Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration. AutoCAD has always been the world¡¯s most advanced architectural software, almost monopolizing the global market. As the leader of the global architecture CAD software, AutoCAD has also been exploring new and advanced design methods. The AutoCAD Corporation had also considered Li Chengqian¡¯s method in the demonstration, but in the end, they gave up! Because they couldn¡¯t do it at all! The process of computing the structure was too complicated, and every construction project was different, so every project needed to be computed differently. There was no universal computational method yet. ¡°This must be fake! We¡¯re the world¡¯s leading architecture CAD software! Even our company hasn¡¯t found an automatic computing method, so how can the Divine Dragon Software Company possibly do it?¡± Tom said confidently. However, since Li Chengqian dared to publish the intelligent building CAD software, he definitely must have a basis for doing so. Thinking of this, Tom became anxious. ¡°No, I have to try the oriental CAD software!¡± What if the intelligent building CAD software was really that powerful? ¡°F*ck, you actually need to install the enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System before you can use the intelligent building CAD software!¡± When Tom followed Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration and clicked on the Web program from the official website of the Divine Dragon Software Company, a notification popped up. On the pop-up notification, the one-click migration tool of the Divine Dragon System appeared. Tom casually clicked to download it. Then, using the one-click migration tool, he install the enterprise version of the Divine Dragon System on the computer. ¡°It¡¯s too convenient! It¡¯s fast!¡± During this migration process, Tom only had to click on the confirmation button. The rest of the process was done automatically. In just 10 minutes, he had completed the installation of the Divine Dragon System on his computer and entered the desktop. Under the guidance of the system, he completed the registration of the account and the payment of fees. Then, he eagerly opened the intelligent building CAD software and began experimenting with it. As he experimented, Tom¡¯s expression became more and more serious as he discovered a terrifying fact. The functions that Li Chengqian demonstrated were all real! As long as he entered simple parameters, any building could be generated with the intelligent building CAD software. Blueprints and checklists could be exported with one click. In fact, even the construction costs would be calculated for you. The only problem was that the price was calculated based on the currency of the Divine Dragon Country. It did not match the local price. After experimenting with small projects, Tom experimented with medium-sized and large-scale projects in turn. It was convenient, fast, easy to use, and powerful! Even if it was a large-scale project of more than 200,000 square meters, it would only take five minutes to complete the design and obtain the 3D model, construction diagram, structural calculations, materials list, construction plan, and so on. If AutoCAD was used to design, it would take at least half a year to do so. ¡°Compared to the intelligent building CAD, AutoCAD is a pile of shit!¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong with the blueprints designed by the Intelligent building CAD software¡­ AutoCAD will soon become history!¡± Tom¡¯s face was bitter. With the simpler and smarter intelligent building CAD software, AutoCAD software would soon be discarded. Only a fool would use the time-consuming and inefficient AutoCAD software. If Tom were to do it himself, he would also be willing to choose the intelligent building CAD software. ¡°Next, it¡¯s the verification process!¡± In fact, Tom still wanted to try the design of a super project. However, this service is not available in the software at all. However, Tom could understand this. The rapid design ability of super projects was a trump card for any country. How could it be easily provided for other countries to use? ¡°If these construction drawings can pass the structural safety certification¡­ The future market in architectural design will belong to Divine Dragon Software!¡± Tom was very solemn. He then chose to export the project blueprint that he had just designed. ¡°F*ck, Li Chengqian is a profiteer! He actually wants to charge 5% of the total cost of the project as the design fee! It¡¯s too expensive. Ordinary design companies will only charge 3% of the design fee.¡± Just now, Tom had designed six projects. The total cost of the construction was 20 million yuan. This time, he had to pay a million yuan in design fees. ¡°It¡¯s 20 minutes of work, and he¡¯s actually charging me a million yuan for the design. Oh, this is simply daylight robbery! No, in fact this is worse than robbery!¡± Tom felt extremely aggrieved. However, he could only pay so that he could export the relevant information for professional review. While Tom was experimenting with the intelligent building CAD software, Thousands of companies around the world were also experimenting with it. Then, they were stunned again. ¡°Compared to the intelligent building CAD, AutoCAD is a pile of shit!¡± ¡°This is a truly intelligent software!¡± ¡°A powerful eastern civilization! They have already surpassed the Sunset Empire! Their software is too advanced!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company did not provide the design services for super projects. Our country needs to carry out the overall design of road networks! We also need to carry out the overall design of water networks. Send a note to the Divine Dragon Country immediately. We want to go to the Divine Dragon Country personally.¡± A wealthy oil-producing country decided. ¡°Call the Divine Dragon Software Company immediately and ask about their design services for super projects.¡± ¡°Our country needs to build a grand canal to solve our issue of unbalanced water supply, but we don¡¯t have the design ability! We need the help of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°We need to build a transnational oil pipeline¡­¡± ¡°We need to design and build a new modern capital¡­¡± In fact, there were not many developed countries in this world. Many countries did not have the design ability for super projects. Under normal circumstances, when super projects were needed, the general approach was to invite design companies from powerful countries to help design and bid for the construction. The intelligent building CAD software allowed these countries to see the hope of their own design and construction. They may not have their own design capabilities, but as long as they obtained the right to use the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s software, they would indirectly own this capability! Moreover, the intelligent building CAD design software had very detailed information. As long as they followed the information and did it themselves, they could also build the project. This way, not only could they cut costs, they could also nurture their own engineers and workforce in the construction process. ¡°Our company is willing to provide the local materials price database for Divine Dragon Software and also provide the materials purchasing service. We want to join the intelligent building CAD software system.¡± Many people saw a business opportunity here. If they could join the intelligent building CAD system, they would be able to obtain a large number of orders. Countless calls were made to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Many companies even arranged for people to rush to the Divine Dragon Country after seeing the business opportunity. For the countries, what was most tempting was the rapid design ability of super projects. Unfortunately, the Divine Dragon Software Company wasn¡¯t providing this service yet. After checking with the Divine Dragon Software Company, they confirmed that this service did exist. Many countries were tempted. After contacting the relevant departments of the Divine Dragon Country, they arranged for a special envoy to go to the Divine Dragon Country to discuss the design services of the super projects. The entire world had shifted slightly because of the intelligent building CAD software. The Divine Dragon System, which was banned by the Sunset Empire, was secretly installed into computers by many companies. In fact, in an extremely short period of time, the enterprise version of the operating system generated nearly 10,000 payments and earned more than a million yuan. As for the intelligent building CAD software, it had also received 3,000 payments in an extremely short period of time and earned 600 million yuan. This was only the service fee for the design. After the safety of the intelligent building CAD software was recognized by everyone, it was widely used, the design fee would definitely increase greatly. intelligentAfter the smart building CAD software completely occupied the market, Li Chengqian estimated that the software would contribute at least 10 billion yuan a year. In addition to the design fees, the Divine Dragon Software Company also charged a certain percentage of the materials bought through the software¡¯s one click service. Chapter 196 - 196 Terrifying Scheme 196 Terrifying Scheme At Divine Dragon University, Li Chengqian¡¯s speech continued. After demonstrating the intelligent building CAD software, he continued to demonstrate the intelligent mechanical design software. Within 10 minutes, an ordinary fuel car was designed. Moreover, all the parts needed to make the car were listed one by one. There was a one-click purchasing function for the universal parts. The blueprint for non universal parts could be exported, and could even be directly sent to a processing program and copied to a CNC machine for processing. It was unbelievably convenient. It could be said that as long as anyone obtained the right to use the intelligent mechanical CAD software, they could easily design and manufacture any machinery that was currently available on the market. ¡°Another world-leading advanced technology!¡± ¡°What other good products does the Divine Dragon Software Company have up its sleeves?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simply too terrifying! If Divine Dragon Software opens up the right to use the intelligent mechanical CAD software, even a country without any industrial technology can design the most advanced machinery.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you guys realized that the intelligent mechanical CAD software can actually be used for military purposes?¡± ¡°Too formidable! Li Chengqian simply isn¡¯t human, he¡¯s a god! He just changed the world order for operating systems, and now he wants to overturn the CAD software industry as well.¡± Li Chengqian only briefly introduced the intelligent mechanical CAD software without any in-depth explanation. Just as the others thought, this software could be used for military purposes. It was very convenient to design military tanks, tanks, planes, even rockets. As long as the main parameters were provided, it could also achieve the effect of one-click production. Therefore, the Department of State Secrets had already made it clear that the software couldn¡¯t be authorized for external use. Even if it was authorized for external use, the scope must be limited and must not be used for military purposes. If a company or country wanted to use the CAD software for military use, they had to obtain the approval of the country. Outside the borders, many people were still hesitating if they should come to the Divine Dragon Country. After seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s simple demonstration of the intelligent mechanical CAD software, many people were tempted! This was a software that could improve defense capabilities. The use of this software was critical to many countries. Because in the world, the vast majority of countries have pitifully poor defense capabilities. There were many countries that didn¡¯t even own a single fighter jet, a single tank, or a single warship. Not to mention missiles and rockets! It sounded incredible, but it was the truth. The strong grew stronger, while the weak grew weaker. There were many reasons why these countries were in such a miserable state. However, there were two main reasons, they didn¡¯t have their own design ability and their own production capacity. And the intelligent mechanical CAD software that Li Chengqian had released now could solve the design ability issue. Although the one-click production of military equipment looked very ordinary, A military power may scoff at it as it needed a lot of modifications and upgrades by professionals. However, to an ordinary country, the intelligent mechanical CAD software was not an ordinary software at all. This was simply a warehouse of military blueprints. As long as one entered the selection, they could obtain the design blueprints for tanks, tanks, planes, and other miliatry equipment. After obtaining the blueprint and resolving the production problem, their national defense ability could instantly increase greatly. Even for a military power, the intelligent mechanical CAD software could greatly increase the efficiency of the design of advanced arms. In the past, an aircraft that needed three years to design would only take half a year after using the intelligent mechanical CAD software. ¡°Oh my god, the weapon design ability of the Divine Dragon Country is already unbelievably strong. Now, with the intelligent mechanical CAD software¡­ Soon, more and more advanced weapons will be designed and produced in the Divine Dragon Country.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is too scary! How did his brains grow?! How could he design such a terrifying software?¡± ¡°We have to obtain the right to use the intelligent mechanical CAD software!¡± ¡°The Sunset Empire has to develop more advanced CAD software. Otherwise¡­ the consequences are hard to predict.¡± Li Chengqian made a final summary of the intelligent mechanical CAD software. ¡°Our philosophy is to use technology to increase efficiency and to benefit the world.¡± ¡°The intelligent mechanical CAD software is another manifestation of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s vision!¡± ¡°The intelligent mechanical CAD software has built-in model data of various machines. These models are all very mature designs. We only need to do creative work and optimize and upgrade the models to quickly obtain more advanced products.¡± ¡°Every upgrade of the product can be based on the previous design.¡± ¡°Moreover, in the intelligent mechanical CAD software, we also have a built-in simulation system that can simulate the pneumatic appearance, mechanical operation, wear, material performance, and other aspects.¡± ¡°For all the products designed by the software, we will carry out simulation tests on the mechanical products and conduct comprehensive verification. We will reduce the development cycle of the products! We will speed up the iterative upgrade of the products.¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, every user¡¯s design through the intelligent mechanical CAD software will be given a unique identification number. They can use the design themselves or also authorize others to use it, thus guaranteeing the rights of the designer.¡± ¡°I believe that the appearance of the intelligent mechanical CAD software will accelerate the progress of Earth¡¯s civilization and take humanity¡¯s dream of flying to the universe since ancient times forward by a huge step.¡± ¡°At that time, the endless resources in the vast space will allow us to obtain unlimited development.¡± ¡°This is the future of humanity!¡± This was actually the most honest thought in Li Chengqian¡¯s heart. Compared to the universe, the resources on Earth were not worth mentioning! ¡°In order to realize the future of humanity, intelligent software is the foundation of everything!¡± ¡°Industrialization and automation forms the most basic foundation. This is because the harsh natural environment in outer space has destined that it is impossible for humans to work in outer space. Most of the work outside the Earth will be done by intelligent programs and automation factories.¡± Li Chengqian changed the topic to the automation factories. As Li Chengqian spoke, he projected the surveillance camera of Tianyi City¡¯s Wisdom Factory on the big screen. ¡°This is a fully automated factory!¡± ¡°The factory operates automatically. Other than sending the production materials to the materials warehouse and pulling out the finished products, all other production activities are automated. There is no need for human participation.¡± ¡°It can produce 80,000 brainwave receivers every day. The pass rate is 100%.¡± ¡°It can produce 200,000 phones a day. The pass rate is 100%.¡± ¡°It can produce 50,000 computers every day. The pass rate is 100%.¡± Listening to Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction and seeing the constantly changing data on the big screen, some people couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°No wonder, no wonder the supply of brainwave receivers has returned to normal!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is simply an old schemer. He¡¯s too sinister. He quietly built the production factory! The people of the Sunset Empire think that they can force Li Chengqian to a corner after cutting off the factory. In fact, Li Chengqian has long had his own production capacity.¡± Many people thought of this and could not help but feel some fear for Li Chengqian. ¡°There are no production workers in this factory! It¡¯s too advanced!¡± Someone carefully looked at the surveillance cameras on the big screen. From the raw materials warehouse to the product warehouse, there was no one. At present, all the OEM factories in the world are labor-intensive enterprises with a large number of workers on the production line. What Li Chengqian has demonstrated was one of a kind! It was also their first time seeing it, and many people couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. In the Sunset Empire, Windows saw Li Chengqian displaying the fully automated factory. When they heard Li Chengqian say that the daily production of the brainwave receiver had reached 80,000 units, Satia¡¯s face turned black! ¡°F*ck, f*ck, this damned Li Chengqian is too sinister!¡± ¡°He actually owns his own production factory!¡± ¡°No wonder. No wonder the Divine Dragon Software Company can continue to supply the brainwave receivers even though we have banned all the OEM factories from working with them!¡± Satya had always thought that an OEM factory was secretly working for the Divine Dragon Software Company. He was even thinking about how to make the disobedient OEM factory pay a heavy price. He never thought that Li Chengqian actually had his own factory. ¡°This is bad news. The previous strategy was to stop the OEM factories from producing for the Divine Dragon Software Company so as to attack the Company.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no prohibition supplying the raw materials for the brainwave receivers to the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°We have to prohibit any company from selling chips and other key materials to the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± They had disassembled and replicated the brainwave receiver produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company. The production of the brainwave receiver required a large number of specialized chips. Most of the chips could not be produced in the Divine Dragon Country. As long as the production of materials was firmly restricted, even if the Divine Dragon Software Company had its own production capacity, without materials, they could forget about producing a brainwave receiver. ¡°When did Li Chengqian build the factory?¡± Satia recalled the information he had. According to the information he had, Li Chengqian shouldn¡¯t have had the chance to build a factory at all. After all, just designing an automated factory like Li Chengqian¡¯s demonstration would take a very long time, at least a year. Li Chengqian, who had just turned 16 a year ago, was already investing in an automated factory worth tens of billions? This was simply a fairy tale! What a joke. Satia had already read Li Chengqian¡¯s profile information many times. No matter which source of information he obtained, it showed that a year ago, Li Chengqian was just an ordinary person! ¡°When was Li Chengqian¡¯s factory built?¡± Satia was not the only one who had this question. Cook and Pi Chayi also had this question. ¡°If he has production capacity, then the methods we used to restrict the production of Divine Dragon Software was in vain¡± ¡°The stock shortages we saw at Divine Dragon Software previously was a ruse.¡± ¡°After Li Chengqian misled us, he disguised the virus file as brainwave coding technology and brought it to Windows through Zhang Tianling.¡± ¡°Because we felt that the Divine Dragon Software Company was going to be finished, we weren¡¯t vigilant enough. In the end, the virus of Divine Dragon Software stole the company¡¯s assets and destroyed the company¡¯s source code data.¡± In an instant, they understood many things. They saw the big picture. After figuring it out, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of fear towards Li Chengqian. Because from the looks of it, right from the very beginning, Li Chengqian had a scheme against them. And his methods were terrifying. Chapter 197 - 197 Dispelling Doubts 197 Dispelling Doubts In the auditorium of Divine Dragon University, Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. He naturally understood everyone¡¯s doubts. Therefore, he was prepared to ¡®kindly¡¯ explain it to everyone so that Satia and the others would understand where his production ability came from. ¡°I know that everyone must have a lot of doubts. Do you want to know when my automated factory was established?¡± ¡°After all, building a modern automated factory will take a few years just to design it, or at least a year if we expedite the process.¡± ¡°Then, a year ago, when I was just 16 years old, I already started to build an automated factory?¡± ¡°The answer is no!¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°I built this factory two weeks ago! It only took me a week to really build the factory! As for the other week, I completed the design, ordered the goods, and tested the production capacity of the automated factory.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone¡¯s eyes widened in shock! Completing the entire process of an automated factory from design to production in two weeks? This was too unscientific! Amidst the crowd¡¯s uproar, Li Chengqian smiled and continued, ¡°Isn¡¯t it incredible to complete the construction of an automated factory within two weeks? It sounds fake, right?¡± ¡°Logically speaking, it¡¯s indeed impossible!¡± ¡°The selection and matching of the automated production line, the setting of the PLC control program, the development of the automated control program, and so on¡­ All these will take a lot of time to complete.¡± ¡°But¡­ with the help of the automated factory CAD software, everything became easy. Everything became possible with the help of this software.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he operated the big screen and opened the automated factory CAD software. ¡°Just now, I used the intelligent machine CAD software to demonstrate and design a bicycle.¡± ¡°Now, we¡¯ll use this bike to demonstrate the use of automated factory CAD software.¡± ¡°The automated factory CAD software is very simple to use. You only need to import the bicycle design of the intelligent machine CAD software into the automated factory CAD software. After inputting daily production quantity, all the design work will be completed by the automated factory CAD software.¡± Li Chengqian spoke as he operated. He imported the blueprint of the bicycle and keyed in ¡®10,000¡¯ pieces per day. In the next moment, the construction blueprint of the factory was done! The number of equipment models in the production line, the installation blueprint, the connection method! The production material specification model! All of them were designed by the automated factory CAD software! The PLC program document and equipment! The production control program! All these were done! Everything needed to build an automated factory had been designed. ¡°The PLC program and equipment, the production control program and equipment are all provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°The automated factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company was bought and modified! Therefore, it was very fast. In just two weeks, the entire process from design to production was completed.¡± ¡°If we had used a new method, it might take three months to build an automated factory comparable to the scale of Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°I think three months is not considered too long. Everyone should be able to wait.¡± ¡°Just now, I only demonstrated the functions of the automated factory CAD software, so I chose a simple bicycle to demonstrate.¡± ¡°In fact, the automated factory CAD software can be used not only to design the production line of bicycles, but also to produce any machinery.¡± ¡°From large aircraft to mobile phones, from the pure mechanical industry to the pure electronics industry, you can use the automated factory CAD software to design.¡± ¡°The automated factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company is the first attempt to use the automated factory CAD software¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ve succeeded! We¡¯ve established the production capacity of the Divine Dragon Software Company and successfully broken the boycott of the Sunset Empire!¡± ¡°Judging from the current operating situation, the results are very good. The production line designed using the automated factory¡¯s CAD software is currently producing 99.99% acceptance rate. As long as there are enough raw materials, the factory can operate 24 hours a day. The efficiency is about five times that of a normal factory.¡± ¡°The cost of production has also been reduced. Based on current statistics, which is not representative, it¡¯s almost 50% cheaper than ordinary factories!¡± In the auditorium, following Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation and demonstration, everyone¡¯s eyes went from disbelief to strong disbelief to incomparable shock! Import the blueprint, set the output, and the software would automatically complete all the designs! With the one-click order function in the software, all the equipment needed to build the factory could be bought. The PLC control program and the production control program could be directly provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company. This method of building a factory was unbelievably easy. ¡°This is too shocking!¡± ¡°Completing an automated factory in two weeks is not a myth. It¡¯s reality!¡± ¡°This automated factory CAD software must not be exported to other countries! This is another software that can bolster the strength of the country.¡± In this world, there were only a few countries that had the ability to design automated factories. Other countries did not have the ability to design automated factories at all. If the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s automated factory CAD software was open for all to use, the industrial base of many countries would quickly improve with the help of this software. With the help of the automated factory CAD software, countries with good industrial foundations could complete the intelligent transformation of domestic factories. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear wrongly just now, right? Li Chengqian said that this software can even be used to design an automated aircraft factory! A fully automatic aircraft factory¡­ How many aircraft do you think can be manufactured in a year? Hiss¡­ Terrifying!¡± Someone gasped when he imagined the scene of the fighter jet being processed like a cigarette! ¡°Too advanced, too impressive, awesome! I¡¯ve never seen such advanced software, not even in sci-fi movies. I didn¡¯t expect our country¡¯s company to develop it in reality.¡± The netizens were also shocked by how advanced the automated factory CAD software was. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the rest, but I know that it takes a long time to complete an automated production line¡­ It definitely cannot be done within a few hours or a few days! The automated factory CAD software can complete within hours something that takes years for other countries to complete. It¡¯s the most advanced! It¡¯s also the best.¡± ¡°I just want to ask if this software can be used for military purposes to design an automatic production line for tanks, missiles, radar, tanks, and fighter jets? Can it allow our advanced fighter jets to be produced like dumplings?¡± ¡°This kind of production method is terrifying¡­¡± ¡°This time, our Divine Dragon Country is really going to become the factory of the world!¡± ¡°A single software can increase the overall strength of the country.¡± Chapter 198 - 198 Project Great Flood 198 Project Great Flood Meanwhile overseas, countless people stared at the screen, they were so envious they wished they could own the automated factory CAD software for themselves. Someone tried to experience how advanced the automated factory CAD software was. And then¡­ There was actually no access to the automated factory CAD software on the webpage! ¡°The easterners actually banned us from using such an advanced software!¡± Someone said angrily. Then, he refreshed the official website of the Divine Dragon Software unwillingly, in a bid to obtain the address of the automated factory CAD software. However, on the web page, only the intelligent building CAD software is available. Moreover, this intelligent building CAD software was a version with limited functions. It could only carry out automated design of commercial buildings below 300,000 square meters. It cannot be used in the design of national-level projects such as cities and road networks. Even so, the intelligent building CAD software was the most advanced building design software! ¡°Oh, f*ck, what does this Chinese character mean? The Divine Dragon Software Company can design such advanced software, and there are actually Chinese characters in the foreign version!¡± The intelligent building CAD software was very advanced, however people found one point that was unacceptable during the trial process! Many functions were not completely explained in English! There were many Chinese characters in the software! It would be very inconvenient for foreigners to use the intelligent building CAD software. However, this inconvenience was insignificant compared to the rapid design provided by the software. Therefore, while many foreign designers cursed the incomplete design of the software, they had no choice but to copy the Chinese characters in the software and learn them online. ¡°F*ck, I¡¯ve learned 20 Chinese characters just to use this damn software! My hair is going to fall out.¡± ¡°These damn words shouldn¡¯t have appeared in this world. They should have been completely eliminated!¡± Learning Chinese characters was so painful, but in order to use the most advanced software, they could only endure this torture. At Windows, Satia¡¯s eyes almost popped out when he saw Li Chengqian demonstrating the automated factory CAD software. Now, he completely understood how the production capacity of Divine Dragon software came about. All the doubts he had were instantly cleared. ¡°What is Li Chengqian¡¯s brain made of? How could he have designed so many advanced software!¡± Even though he was Li Chengqian¡¯s competitor, Satia couldn¡¯t help but admire his abilities. Developing an operating system doesn¡¯t count, because someone has already done it. It could be said that whoever mastered the brainwave coding technology would dominate the entire software industry. This was also the fundamental reason why Windows, Apple and Google were desperately trying to obtain the brainwave coding technology. And this time, in the technology Li Chengqian displayed, The intelligent building CAD software was very advanced in Satia¡¯s opinion, but as long as they were willing to spend money, Windows could also develop the intelligent building CAD software. It was not really considered a breakthrough technology. However, the functions of the intelligent machine CAD software and the automated factory CAD software were simply unheard of. They were so advanced that they were not like technology that belonged to this planet. ¡°These software released by Li Chengqian is too terrifying. Even if it were the most backward African countries, once they obtain the rights to use these two softwares, they can quickly advance and complete their infrastructure construction at a rapid speed. They can industrialize their nation at lightning speed and lift themselves out of poverty.¡± ¡°However, although the software released by Li Chengqian is very advanced, its impact on Windows is limited.¡± All the software released by the Divine Dragon Software Company had to rely on the Divine Dragon System to operate. However, the functions of these softwares were too powerful. They were so powerful that they affected the power of a country. It was impossible for these softwares to be popularized and used by ordinary people. It had no effect on the promotion of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Windows will remain the most popular system in the world! Nothing else will come close!¡± The entire world knew about the 1996 loophole announced by Li Chengqian, but the number of Windows installations did not decrease much. After Windows issued an emergency announcement and issued a system update to rectify the 1996 code loophole, the decline completely stopped. Although there were some troublesome issues, there wasn¡¯t any substantial impact on Windows. ¡°The application systems of many countries¡¯ administrative departments are built on Windows. It¡¯s impossible to replace them in a short period of time. If you want to replace them, you have to replace other business systems and business software together. That will cost a lot of money¡­ Moreover, Divine Dragon Software is already on the sanction list. Countries that use it will definitely pay a heavy price.¡± ¡°Many companies¡¯ business systems are built on the Windows system. If they change the operating system, they will need to redevelop their business system. This is a huge Cost. Moreover, any use of the Divine Dragon Software is illegal.¡± This was why Windows, Apple, and Google remained so confident. It was true that the Divine Dragon System was very advanced, but other than the Divine Dragon Country, no other country could use it! ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian stopped after he completed the demonstration of the automated factory CAD software. After all, he had been talking for so long, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Li Chengqian took a sip of water to soothe his throat. At this moment, his phone screen lit up. He glanced at the phone screen. There was a message from Bai Ze. ¡°Project Great Flood has been successfully activated¡­ The flood is spreading. It¡¯s estimated to erupt worldwide in ten minutes.¡± ¡°Under the flood, the old order will collapse completely. A new order will be established on the ruins of the old world.¡± When Li Chengqian saw this message, he had a faint smile on his face. Then, under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Li Chengqian continued his speech on the future theme. ¡°In the future, in addition to intelligent software that increases productivity, intelligence and convenience will be everywhere.¡± ¡°Not only can brainwave coding technology be used for information input, it can also be used for driving, vehicles, airplanes, and so on¡­ Use brainwave coding technology to drive!¡± ¡°All vehicles are extensions of our bodies. As long as we wear brainwave receivers, we can control planes, cars, and even spaceships easily. Anyone can pilot them easily. The only thing we need to learn is the traffic rules.¡± On the big screen, a pilot wearing a brainwave receiver was flying the plane. The plane was doing all kinds of unimaginable actions, even flying close to the ground. Even an ace fighter pilot could not execute these moves. ¡°Hiss¡­ If we use this driving technique, our fighter jets will be invincible in close combat!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference between this and the integration of the human and sword in fantasy novels? This is the sci-fi version of the integration of the human and sword!¡± ¡°The Air Force says we really need this technology!¡± ¡°The army says that we also need this technology very much! We want to use this technology to control the combat vehicles, tanks, and cannons!¡± ¡°Is this a technology developed so that everyone can pilot a plane?¡± ¡°With this technology, as long as I can afford to buy an airplane, I can pilot it myself!¡± ¡°¡­ I think I should be more realistic.¡± Just then, Li Chengqian¡¯s voice continued. ¡°In fact, through reverse engineering on brainwave coding technology¡­ we might be able to realize the ability in science fiction to encode knowledge and input it into our brains in reverse. We might be able to learn all the basic knowledge in a short period of time!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± These words made everyone¡¯s eyes widen as desire flashed in their eyes. Many people had fantasized about this skill when they were studying. If only they could encode the knowledge and input it into their brains, they could master a large amount of knowledge in an extremely short period of time. ¡°I hope this can be realized in my lifetime!¡± ¡°This technology is countless times more difficult than brainwave coding technology. We have to analyze all the mysteries of the brain before we can realize it.¡± ¡°With Li Chengqian¡¯s genius, perhaps he might be able to achieve it.¡± Li Chengqian continued to speak amidst the crowd¡¯s discussion. ¡°Of course, Divine Dragon Software hasn¡¯t achieved this yet! It still needs constant investment and research.¡± ¡°What we can do now through brainwave coding technology, other than word input and computer control¡­¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he put a brainwave receiver on his head. ¡°Also, image input¡­!¡± Li Chengqian thought of a tall mountain in his heart. Then, a majestic picture of a tall mountain appeared on the computer. He thought of the sea and immediately, a picture of the sea appeared on the computer. ¡°In addition to image input, we¡¯ve also completed the research on video input¡­ It¡¯s very difficult to imagine. I need some inspiration¡­¡± Li Chengqian opened the Qidian novel website, opened a novel, and started from the first sentence. Then, a video based on the novel was quickly constructed on the computer. After reading one chapter, a 10-minute video was completed, and it was exquisitely done in high resolution. The quality of this video was 10,000 times better than CG animation! CG would never catch up with this production speed! The audience was in an uproar. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief! ¡°Are we really from the same world as Li Chengqian?¡± Academician Lin Qu couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°How did he do it?!¡± Principal Wu was extremely shocked. ¡°Is this really a product launch and a speech, not a magic show?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian showed us the future of science, but what I saw was a fairy tale. How can we break the fantasy?¡± ¡°The thoughts in my mind are being transformed into a video through brainwave coding technology¡­ Can this really be done?¡± ¡°With this technology, those in CG will all lose their jobs! Compared to brainwave coding technology, CG technology¡­ Hehe.¡± ¡°And this is all I have for you today!¡± Li Chengqian looked at the time and prepared to end this speech cum press conference. This was because the software that he planned to release had already been explained clearly. ¡°Li Chengqian, tell us more. We still want to hear you speak¡­¡± In the audience, someone said reluctantly. ¡°Yeah, Li Chengqian, tell us a bit more!¡± ¡°Share with us your thoughts about the future.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head, then handed the microphone to Principal Wu. ¡°Li Chengqian gave a wonderful speech just now. The things he displayed shocked me deeply.¡± Principal Wu took the microphone. ¡°Due to time constraints, I won¡¯t waste my breath. Next, let¡¯s enter the Q&A segment!¡± Principal Wu went straight to the point. As soon as Principal Wu finished speaking, the foreign media, who had been waiting for a chance to ask questions, immediately became excited. Everyone raised their hands high. ¡°Mr. Li Chengqian, on the internet, everyone is saying that you¡¯re a shameless robber. Not only did you steal the crypto currencies of Windows, Apple, and Google, but you also stole the source codes of the three companies. You even deleted all the data of the three companies?¡± ¡°On the internet, many people say that a lot of the content you posted again was stolen from Windows, Apple, and Google. Do you have anything to say?¡± A foreign reporter was very impolite. Without waiting to be called, he directly asked an extremely pointed question. Chapter 199 - 199 Teach a Lesson 199 Teach a Lesson Li Chengqian¡¯s speech was startling, and the more startling it was, the more excited the foreign media were. Because the more attention Li Chengqian received, the more beneficial it was for them. Moreover, Windows, Apple and Google have all issued official statements on the internet. The statements alleged that the Divine Dragon Software Company was a hacker, a criminal organization and a brazen thief. It was the Divine Dragon Software Company that stole their company¡¯s currencies, source codes, and even brazenly deleted all their contents on their servers. Moreover, the three companies worked very quickly. They had already initiated lawsuits in courts all over the world, submitting so-called evidence and seeking to bring the Divine Dragon Software Company to Justice! Even in the Divine Dragon Country, the three companies initiated lawsuits requesting a thorough investigation of the Divine Dragon Software Company. However, due to the lack of evidence, the applications of the three companies were dismissed by the relevant departments of the Divine Dragon Country and no case was filed. However, many countries around the world had accepted the three companies¡¯ applications and had opened a case against the Divine Dragon Software Company. While investigations were ongoing, the Divine Dragon Software Company was required to cease all activities within its jurisdiction. Li Chengqian¡¯s speech was broadcasted overseas by the foreign media. The number of viewers exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Thus, the first question that was asked was the most attention-grabbing and controversial question. Although it wasn¡¯t explicitly stated, anyone could read between the lines. The meaning was clear: Li Chengqian was a thief, he had stolen! The technologies that Li Chengqian demonstrated in this speech were all stolen from the three companies! After asking this very impolite question, he was greeted by everyone¡¯s angry looks. ¡°Did this son of a bitch just fart?¡± ¡°Everytime the Divine Dragon Country makes any technological breakthroughs, the people of the Sunset Empire will jump and say that the technology came from them! Hehe¡­ But over the years, it has surpassed the Sunset Empire in more and more areas.¡± ¡°Frogs in a well! Ignorant clowns!¡± ¡°However, I¡¯ve also seen the reports online. Everyone is guessing that Li Chengqian is a super hacker who hacked the three companies. It¡¯s just that there¡¯s no evidence to support this at the moment.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make baseless allegations!¡± ¡°Back what you say with proof. Just because they claimed that Li Chengqian hacked them doesn¡¯t mean that is the truth. What a joke.¡± ¡°Also, could the three companies have developed the brainwave coding technology? Show me if they can!¡± In fact, most people agreed that Li Chengqian was a hacker! However, this remained nothing more than a guess as there was no evidence to prove this. But the reporter said that the technologies that Li Chengqian demonstrated in his speech were stolen from the three companies. It was a joke and no one bought it. Principal Wu also became visibly upset. After glancing coldly at the reporter who spoke, he said coldly, ¡°Reporter friend, a person like you with no manners cannot be a reporter in our country.¡± ¡°The universal practice is for the media to seek the organizer¡¯s clearance before posing questions to the speaker!¡± ¡°You spoke without seeking anyone¡¯s approval. I now have a lower opinion of the quality of journalism in the Sunset Empire.¡± ¡°Also, reporters should ask questions from an objective standpoint. In my opinion, your questions are more like interrogating and making allegations! This is not how reporters should behave! It¡¯s very disappointing.¡± ¡°Your behavior has already made me doubt your identity as a reporter.¡± ¡°Now, please return to your seat and wait!¡± ¡°You can pose your question if I call upon you. If I don¡¯t, you won¡¯t have the right to speak. Do you understand?¡± Principal Wu told the reporter off directly. His tone was extremely stern as he looked straight at the foreign reporter with undisguised disdain. The foreign reporter looked angry and embarrassed at the same time. After being criticized by Principal Wu, his face was contorted with a mix of expressions. His eyes were filled with shame and anger. He glared at Principal Wu. If he had a gun in his hand, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to pull the trigger on Principal Wu. He had been all over the world, and because he had the backing of the powerful Sunset Empire, he had always enjoyed priority treatment in any country. Even high-ranking officials and royalty had to give him face. Thus he had gotten used to being haughty! This made him feel that everyone should give in to him. The angry foreign reporter clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. At this moment, two tall and burly security guards walked over quickly and stood in front of the reporter. The tall security guard was a head taller than the foreign reporter and his body was as strong as a bear. He stood in front of the reporter like a wall. The security guard looked at the foreign reporter coldly. When the foreign reporters saw this tall security guard, they instantly cowered! He felt that this security guard could knock him down with a single punch. The entire auditorium was in an uproar after Principal Wu criticized the foreign reporter! Clap, clap, clap! A thunderous applause sounded in the auditorium. It did not stop for a long time, and there was loud cheering too. ¡°Well done! Headmaster Wu, good job!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. He¡¯s so arrogant! He thinks that the entire world is their Sunset Empire¡¯s territory. He needs to be taught a lesson. He needs to be put back in his place.¡± ¡°Damn it, why do I feel so good when I see this bastard being taught a lesson by Principal Wu?¡± ¡°I feel good too!¡± ¡°The scene just now was broadcasted worldwide¡­ This time, he¡¯s famous! And he¡¯s famous worldwide! Unfortunately, it¡¯s infamy!¡± On the internet, a large number of anonymous comments appeared when they heard Principal Zhongwu criticize this reporter in the live broadcast. ¡°Awesome! I feel so awesome watching the people of the Sunset Empire being taught a lesson!¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t this reporter been out in the world before? He actually wants to use his privileges in the Divine Dragon Country. Does he think that the Divine Dragon Country is the same as other countries?¡± ¡°The Sunset Empire¡¯s reporters are so domineering. They¡¯re used to being domineering and don¡¯t take anyone seriously at all. They won¡¯t follow any rules. He¡¯s met his match this time.¡± ¡°Oh, it feels so good to see a reporter of the Sunset Empire suffer. It¡¯s so satisfying.¡± This was because there were too many countries that could not stand the Sunset Empire¡¯s reporters¡¯ domineering methods. In fact, many people had been bullied by the people of the Sunset Empire. However, because their country was weak, they often didn¡¯t stand up for themselves despite feeling angry. They could only silently endure it. Now that they saw the people of the Sunset Empire suffer, they feel a little vindicated. This was a natural response. When the people of the Sunset Empire saw the reporter being taught a lesson, they felt ashamed. Someone criticized the reporter on the internet for not teaching Principal Wu a lesson under such circumstances. Some people thought that the Divine Dragon Country was embarrassed and angry after their shortcomings were exposed! ¡°This damned thing has disgraced our Sunset Empire!¡± ¡°If I were him, I would definitely go up and punch that despicable old man!¡± ¡°Our reporter didn¡¯t do anything wrong! It¡¯s just that our reporter is too straightforward. He pointed out the problem of the Divine Dragon Software Company stealing the data of three companies in our country, and for that he was treated unfairly.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Kingdom is furious because they have been embarrassed!¡± ¡°The people of the Divine Dragon Country have always been like this. They have low self-esteem and care about their reputation. Now that our country¡¯s righteous reporters have exposed their shortcomings on the spot, they feel very embarrassed. That¡¯s why they deliberately made things difficult for our reporters.¡± ¡°The more they make things difficult for our reporters, the more we can tell that they¡¯re guilty.¡± ¡°Everyone, remember this silly principal. If he dares come to the Sunset Empire and I meet him on the streets, I will definitely teach him a lesson!¡± Chapter 200 - 200 Q&A 200 Q&A After the foreign reporter fell silent, Principal Wu chose a BCC reporter from the other foreign reporters. The BCC reporter stood up excitedly. ¡°Thank you Principal Wu for giving me this opportunity to ask a question.¡± He first politely expressed his gratitude to Principal Wu before posing Li Chengqian a question. ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. We¡¯ve noticed that on the internet, the three companies, Windows, Apple, and Google, have already made an announcement that you stole their assets and destroyed their data. At the same time, many organizations have pointed out that the 1996 code you displayed in your speech was obtained through the source code of the three companies¡¯ servers.¡± ¡°The three companies have filed lawsuits in all the countries to prosecute you and the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°The vast majority of countries have adopted the opinion that the three companies have a case against the Divine Dragon Software Company. They have thus banned all commercial activities in their countries while the case is tried.¡± ¡°May I ask what you think of the current situation? Do you think it will have a negative impact on the worldwide promotion of the Divine Dragon System?¡± The BCC reporter¡¯s question was pointed, but he was smarter than the reporter just now. He asked these questions from an objective perspective and did not make any allegations against Li Chengqian. ¡°Hello, BCC reporter. This is what I think about your question.¡± ¡°Firstly, if Windows, Apple, and Google think that I¡¯ve done something, ask them to show me the evidence. These baseless allegations are childish and ridiculous. Are they going to blame me for all the virus incidents in the future?¡± Li Chengqian sneered. He didn¡¯t reveal any flaws at all. Moreover, he had even forestalled their next move. He wanted to make it clear that he had nothing to do with any future virus incidents, which was bound to happen. ¡°Secondly, regarding the lawsuits you mentioned, I think everyone knows very well why. That was the Sunset Empire¡¯s method for suppressing other countries. That was just a joke! Everyone knows this.¡± ¡°Thirdly, the Divine Dragon Software Company is currently only conducting business in the Divine Dragon Country. Whether it has been prohibited in other countries has no real impact on the Company¡± ¡°Fourthly, the Divine Dragon Software Company is a legitimate company and a law-abiding company. We respect the laws of all countries. We won¡¯t do any business in countries that prohibit us from operating.¡± ¡°Thank you for your question. Is Principal Wu here? Please help me choose the next reporter?¡± Li Chengqian replied succinctly. As he spoke, he glanced at the time on his phone. It had been six minutes since Bai Ze¡¯s last message. There were still four minutes before Project Great Flood would be implemented. At that time the virus would run rampant. Windows, Apple, Linux, and Android were all targets of the Flood. The BCC reporter who had asked the question just now would know a clear answer after the virus attack. The other countries¡¯ investigations and trials of the Divine Dragon Software Company and their ban on its operations were just a joke. They were now prohibiting any business activities of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Soon, they would be begging the Divine Dragon Software Company to resume operations. Because after the Flood, the old order would be completely destroyed. ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. Your speech just now was very exciting. Intelligent software, automated factory, automated design, brainwave coding technology, and so on. All of them shocked me.¡± This time, the person chosen by Principal Wu to ask questions was a reporter from Wall Street Daily. This reporter was a blonde beauty. She praised Li Chengqian fervently the moment she stood up. Her eyes were like twinkling as she kept sending amorous signals to Li Chengqian. ¡°Thank you for your praise, lady. I think you definitely didn¡¯t raise your hand just to praise me. Please ask your question,¡± Li Chengqian said bluntly. He wasn¡¯t fooled by the female reporter¡¯s words and gestures. A trace of disappointment flashed across the female reporter¡¯s eyes. Her words and body language just now were designed to make Li Chengqian lower his guard. From the looks of it, they had no effect on Li Chengqian at all. ¡°Mr. Li, during your speech just now, you showed the further applications of the Jade Disk programming software, the intelligent building CAD software, the intelligent mechanical CAD software, the automated factory CAD software, and the brain wave coding technology.¡± ¡°To be honest, every single one of them is an invention that transcends time. It¡¯s very shocking.¡± ¡°However, while I was shocked, I also thought of a problem.¡± ¡°With the Jade Disk programming software, what should the tens of millions of programmers in the world do?¡± ¡°With the intelligent mechanical CAD software, what would the tens of thousands of architectural firms and millions of architects do? How would they survive?¡± ¡°With the intelligent mechanical CAD software, how would millions of mechanical design practitioners find a job?¡± ¡°The most important thing, and the one with the widest impact, is the automated factory CAD software. Once the automated factory CAD software is popularized, in order to cut costs, all factories will be automated and modified. The newly built factories will also be automated factories. The factories no longer need workers, and there are billions of workers in the world. After these workers become jobless, it will cause a large number of social problems and even cause the entire world to be in turmoil.¡± ¡°I want to ask Mr. Li, how do you think we should solve these problems?¡± The blonde reporter¡¯s voice was sweet, but every word she said was heart-wrenching! While continuously praising Li Chengqian, she also raised the most serious issue. The question went straight to the core. It was very sharp and hit the nail on the head. In fact, because of the blonde beauty¡¯s question, Li Chengqian found himself standing in an adversarial position. Because of the blonde reporter¡¯s question, all the ordinary people had doubts. The factories were all automated factories. Where would he go to find a job in the future? How could he survive without a job? Not only were the ordinary people doubtful, but even the rulers were the same. The progress of society and economic development were ultimately just tools to serve the rulers. This had all been replaced with automated software. The efficiency had indeed become very high and very advanced. But what about people? What about jobs? What about the income of ordinary people? Once there was a problem with employment and no one had an income, it would be very dangerous for any country! Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes were solemn. He looked intently at the female reporter with a smile on her face and praised her in his heart. He had to answer the female reporter¡¯s question carefully. This was because everyone was listening. Among these people, there were the highest levels in this world. This answer would definitely affect the future development of the Divine Dragon Software Company. After the female reporter raised these questions, the entire auditorium was silent. The students were waiting for Li Chengqian¡¯s answer. The professors of Divine Dragon University were waiting for Li Chengqian¡¯s answer. Academicians Lin Qu and Gao Xiang were also waiting with solemn expressions for Li Chengqian¡¯s answer. Even the higher-ups of the country were waiting for Li Chengqian¡¯s answer. Li Chengqian¡¯s answer this time would determine many things. The promotion of these software, the rise and fall of Divine Dragon Software, Li Chengqian¡¯s personal career development, and so on It was very important. Chapter 201 - 201 Fatal Problem 201 Fatal Problem Li Chengqian took a deep look at the female reporter, his eyes cold. She wanted to use this question to send Li Chengqian into the abyss. She looked beautiful and sexy, but she was actually after his life. If he didn¡¯t pay attention, her question might cost him his life. However, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t panic at all. This was because he had already considered these problems carefully. If he hadn¡¯t considered the employment issues and other social problems that might be caused by the intelligent software, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to announce these advanced software. ¡°Madam, the question you raised just now happened to be something I wanted to tell everyone.¡± ¡°Actually, I know that many people are worried that once automated software is used on a large scale, once automated factories appear in large quantities, many workers will be laid off and many practitioners in related industries will lose their jobs.¡± ¡°Without a job, there¡¯s no food.¡± ¡°When a large number of workers are retrenched, it will inevitably cause a large number of social problems.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze swept across the auditorium and found that everyone was very solemn. Then, he continued to speak. ¡°The first point I want to express is that the development of technology is unstoppable.¡± ¡°When the steam engine was invented, many people were worried that the steam engine, a monster with immense strength, would take away all the jobs But now, we know that it didn¡¯t happen.¡± ¡°When the motor was invented, many people were also worried that they would lose their jobs. Because of the advancement of technology, a large number of ordinary people would lose their jobs. These things didn¡¯t happen either.¡± ¡°When computers were invented, many people were worried that these advanced tools would take away jobs.¡± ¡°However, the reality is that the appearance of new tools did not take away our jobs. It will only create new jobs.¡± ¡°History has taught us that all efforts to stop the arrival of new technology will ultimately fail. The advancement of technology is the direction of history. It¡¯s an unstoppable trend.¡± ¡°The intelligent building CAD software will indeed reduce the number of designers, but a new job has already been created, and that is construction and management engineers. Designers can transform into construction and management engineers and to provide one-on-one services to the builders.¡± ¡°In terms of mechanical design, the mechanical designers can transform into simulation designers. Although the intelligent mechanical CAD software can design automatically, it still requires a lot of effort by the designer to design advanced and efficient machinery.¡± ¡°Of course, there will definitely be a large number of designers who will be eliminated in the popularization of software. However, I¡¯m sure that after the outstanding designers have the intelligent CAD software, they will break away from the repetitive work and focus on pioneering design. They will definitely bring us better products.¡± ¡°The second point I want to say is that automated factories will not be popularized for the time being. The automated design function of automated factories will only support the high-tech industry for now. It will not support traditional industries for the time being.¡± ¡°According to our professional team¡¯s calculations, in the high-tech industry, automated factories can increase efficiency, reduce production costs, and finally lower the price of products.¡± ¡°However, in traditional industries, using automated production will not increase efficiency much. It will in fact increase production costs.¡± In fact, this was Li Chengqian¡¯s compromise to the current situation. As the blonde reporter had said, if all the work was done by computers and machines, what would happen to the workers? What would people eat without jobs and a source of income? When they couldn¡¯t even eat their fill, some terrible things would happen. This was definitely not an alarmist statement. Once these things happened, would it be good for Li Chengqian? Would it benefit the Divine Dragon Software Company? No! A stable environment and society are the foundations of enterprise development. This was also the environment that Divine Dragon Software needed. If the world became chaotic, it would not be good for anyone. Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Chengqian limited the ability of the automated factory CAD software. The automated factory CAD software provided to the outside world only served technological and capital-intensive enterprises that are not labor intensive. After hearing what Li Chengqian said, many people heaved a sigh of relief! Especially Academician Lin Qu. His heart, which was already in his throat, finally relaxed. ¡°Li Chengqian, this kid, did the right thing this time!¡± ¡°The world belongs to human beings, and the development of technology is to serve humans If a technology is invented and doesn¡¯t benefit most people, it can only be put aside or used experimentally.¡± With his experience, he naturally understood that what Li Chengqian said just now was not the truth. The production efficiency and cost of automated factories were more advantageous than traditional factories in all aspects. It was obvious that Li Chengqian had discovered the crux of the problem. The automated factory CAD software looked high-end and was simply unbelievably advanced. But in reality, this thing was a trap! Other than demonstrating Li Chengqian¡¯s formidable programming ability, it basically didn¡¯t have much purpose. The automated factory CAD software was too advanced. The other countries would definitely ban the right to use the software exported by the Divine Dragon Software Company. At the same time, in order to stabilize employment, other industries would definitely not allow the use of automated factory CAD software. The automated factory CAD software was indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful the software was, it needed to be put to use! Obviously, with the current situation in the world, there was no use for automated factory CAD software. Principal Wu also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly praised, ¡°Li Chengqian, this kid, not only does he have a set of software development skills, he had a good sense in other aspects as well.¡± ¡°This cunning easterner. Isn¡¯t the software he worked so hard to develop to promote and earn money? He actually gave up on traditional factories.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s answer was impeccable. It was flawless. However, the blonde reporter didn¡¯t believe that Li Chengqian had spent so much effort to develop such a powerful software just to show off. ¡°This is my answer!¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Principal Wu. According to the arrangement, he would only take three questions. There was one more to go. Principal Wu nodded and looked at the reporters who were raising their hands high. Li Chengqian looked at his phone again. Coincidentally, his phone screen lit up as well. A line of words appeared on his phone. ¡°Project Great Flood officially begins!¡± Chapter 202 - 202 Doomsday Extortion. Virus Outbreak. 202 Doomsday Extortion. Virus Outbreak. At this moment, on the internet, a special piece of data had spread to all the devices. Whether it was Windows, Apple, Linux, or even the Divine Dragon System, this special code was there. This seemingly unremarkable, docile code slowly evolved while Li Chengqian was delivering his speech. And automatically began to operate in all computer systems. In the next moment, the code revealed his ferocious fangs. This code exploded and killed the system¡¯s Guardian process. Then, it replaced it and obtained the highest level authority of the system. Then, all the computing units of the computer were invoked by this code. For ordinary computers, they became incredibly slow and could not function at all. For servers, this was simply a disaster because it took up all the system resources and the server¡¯s service process had been turned off. In an instant, the entire internet collapsed. The domain name server, the most basic facility of the internet, was incapacitated. After the domain name server was incapacitated, all the domain names of websites couldn¡¯t be resolved, thus they couldn¡¯t be accessed. However, if the IP address of a website was known, it could still be accessed via the IP address. Right on the heels of that, the code continued to spread. All servers connected to the internet lost their service ability because of this code. This time, even the IP address access method didn¡¯t work. Windows, Apple, Linux, and Linux variants of Android were controlled by this code. ¡°My God, what the hell is going on? It took me a day to write the article and I haven¡¯t saved it. Now it¡¯s all gone.¡± After Gao Hawen discovered the situation on the computer, his first reaction was that this was a virus. He unplugged the network cable without hesitation. He was a computer enthusiast and was especially knowledgeable about software and hardware. ¡°Quick, shut down the computer and unplug the network cable. There is a cyber virus invading our computer.¡± Then, Gao Hawen carefully turned on the computer again. ¡°What is this?¡± When the computer was turned on again, Gao Hawen was dumbfounded because he realized that the files in the computer were still there, but none of them could be opened. ¡°0.01 bitcoin? That¡¯s 2,400 Divine Dragon dollars. F*ck you! It¡¯s ransomware again.¡± At this moment, Gao Hawen recalled that the last time the extortion virus wreaked havoc, several companies had launched special extermination tools. ¡°The extortion virus in the last attack was so powerful, and yet it was cleared. I don¡¯t believe that this virus can resist the antivirus software. I¡¯ll download the antivirus software¡¯s specialized antivirus tool and kill it.¡± ¡°Damn, why can¡¯t I go online?¡± Gao Hawen was dumbfounded again because he realized that he couldn¡¯t go online at all. Then, he tried everything. A newly set up computer was instantly infected with the virus and couldn¡¯t be used. He wanted to download the special antivirus tool with his phone, but he realized a terrifying situation. His mobile phone couldn¡¯t go online! Not only was he unable to go online with his mobile phone, but he also couldn¡¯t make calls or send messages. The documents stored in his phone were also locked like the ones on the computer. He couldn¡¯t open or check them. If he wanted to remove the lock, he had to pay a virtual currency ransom. ¡°The entire internet has collapsed!¡± At this moment, Gao Hawen finally understood what was going on. ¡°The operating system suppliers will definitely solve the current problem as soon as possible. Whoever solves the problem first will win the next user.¡± However, because the entire internet had collapsed, Gao Hawen was not worried because this would definitely attract the attention of all countries and companies. Only problems that everyone valued would be solved quickly, no matter how big the problem was. For individual users, the collapse of the internet and the inability to use electronic products made them feel terrible. Ordinary users placed high hopes on companies such as Windows, Apple, and Linux. The virus this time was simply a terrifying disaster. That was because even the work computers of the three companies had been infected with the virus this time. At the same time, they tried their best but couldn¡¯t kill the virus in their work computers. Even they had become targets that needed to be saved. ¡°Damn hacker! Don¡¯t let me know who you are, or I¡¯ll definitely kill you!¡± ¡°Use the backup computers in the company¡¯s reserves, completely isolate the network internally, and use the system and software discs that were previously backed up.¡± A large company like Windows had very deep resources. In response to a possible crisis, they set up a network completely isolated from the internet and stockpiled a number of emergency work computers. It was so that after a serious virus incident, they could deal with it immediately and recover their ability to work. ¡°Pay the damn hacker the ransom! We have to restore our ability to work immediately and normalize our computers. We have to kill the extortion virus for Windows users before Apple and Google do it.¡± Apple, Google, and Linux Foundation, and other related super companies all activated their emergency plans and began to deal with the virus incident. At this moment, a line of words appeared on all the infected screens. ¡°I¡¯m Cerberus, the creator of the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± ¡°You only have 12 hours After 12 hours, if you still haven¡¯t paid the ransom, I¡¯ll erase all the data on the equipment that hasn¡¯t paid the ransom!¡± In the auditorium of Divine Dragon University, Principal Wu had just picked a reporter from the national television station. The four computers that Li Chengqian used to demonstrate were all connected to the big screen, occupying four corners on the big screen. ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. I¡¯m Chen Hao, a reporter from the national television station. The Divine Dragon Software Company has achieved world-famous achievements and is currently standing at the peak of the software industry. It has already become a leader of the software industry.¡± ¡°I want to ask about your thoughts on the Company¡¯s future direction. Please tell us all.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Li Chengqian again. Just then, the virus broke out. Before Li Chengqian could say anything, three of the four big screens froze. Then, the screens went blank. Windows, Apple, and Linux were all affected. Moreover, there was no advance warning. When the computers were restarted, all the files were locked and couldn¡¯t be opened. Only the Divine Dragon System had a notification on the interface when the virus invaded. ¡°A malicious program has been detected. The malicious program is in the control system The anti-virus program is activating, the sandbox mechanism is activating¡± Immediately, the occupancy of the system¡¯s resources began to soar, directly hitting 100%. However, after 30 seconds, the operation of the Divine Dragon System became normal. ¡°The virus has been isolated and is running in the sandbox program The virus is extremely malicious. It is recommended to delete it completely.¡± ¡°Yes/No?¡± At the same time, on the screen occupied by the other three computers, a line of red text flashed and occupied most of the screen. ¡°I¡¯m Cerberus, the creator of the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± ¡°You only have 12 hours After 12 hours, if you still haven¡¯t paid the ransom, I¡¯ll erase all the data on the equipment that hasn¡¯t paid the ransom!¡± Chapter 203 - 203 Doubt 203 Doubt ¡°Why is there no signal on my mobile phone? Why can¡¯t I call? I can¡¯t send messages either.¡± At this moment, someone realized that he could neither make calls nor send messages on his mobile phone. ¡°I can¡¯t get online with my phone.¡± Then, someone realized that he couldn¡¯t go online with his mobile phone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my mobile phone? I can¡¯t open the photo album and the documents.¡± ¡°Oh my god, my mobile phone seems to be infected too!¡± Someone tried to open the photo album and documents. A window popped up requesting a virtual currency ransom within a deadline. If the ransom wasn¡¯t paid on time, all the information in his phone would be deleted and couldn¡¯t be restored. Some people had very important documents saved on their phones, and sweat broke out on their foreheads. ¡°Everyone, please be quiet!¡± Principal Wu said solemnly. ¡°I just received news that a Doomsday Extortion Virus invasion has occurred worldwide.¡± ¡°Currently, almost all computers and phones are infected with the Doomsday Extortion Virus. All documents can¡¯t be used.¡± ¡°Moreover, what¡¯s even more terrifying is that the domain name servers are also infected with the Doomsday Extortion Virus. It can¡¯t provide domain name resolution services, causing all websites to be inaccessible.¡± ¡°At the same time, the IP address distribution servers are also infected with the virus and can¡¯t provide IP address distribution services.¡± ¡°Any service that relies on the internet will stop functioning!¡± ¡°As a result, we can¡¯t use our phones to communicate or surf the internet.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t worry, everyone. All the cybersecurity engineers in the world are doing their best. I believe the virus will be eliminated soon.¡± After Principal Wu finished speaking, he was about to allow the reporters to continue asking questions. Because the internet had lost its function, the live broadcast could not continue. He could only settle for the next best thing, which was to record the proceedings and then broadcast it later after the internet was restored. ¡°No, not all the equipment is infected! The Divine Dragon System used by Li Chengqian was not infected. The virus was even killed by the System.¡± At this moment, someone said loudly. ¡°My Long Yao Generation 3 mobile phone isn¡¯t infected either!¡± At this moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd. ¡°My Huawei Breakthrough Generation 1 mobile phone isn¡¯t infected either.¡± The foreign reporter who had been scolded by Principal Wu earlier heard the discussion in the crowd. He looked at the scene and a thought flashed in his mind. He thought of a possibility, he seemed to have discovered the truth, and his eyes shone with excitement. ¡°Only equipment using Windows, Apple, Linux and the linux variants are infected.¡± ¡°Who stands to benefit the most when Windows, Apple and Linux are in trouble?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Dragon Software Company! This virus is definitely developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company to attack competitors and to terrorize users into migrating to the Divine Dragon System.¡± Immediately, the foreign reporter questioned loudly. ¡°Mr. Li, I want to ask why the other systems are infected with the virus, but your Divine Dragon System is not?¡± After the foreign reporter said this, the originally noisy auditorium instantly fell silent. In fact, when they saw on the big screens that the other systems were infected with the virus but the Divine Dragon System was not, many people were puzzled. When everyone realized that the Android and Apple phones were infected with the virus, but the phones using the Divine Dragon System were not infected, they became suspicious. Why were the other systems infected with the virus but only the Divine Dragon System was spared? Could it be that this virus was developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company? Many people had such thoughts. Not only did ordinary people have doubts in their hearts, but even the experts on the stage had doubts hidden in the depths of their eyes. This was because the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus was only beneficial to the Divine Dragon Software Company! Li Chengqian glanced coldly at the foreign reporter. ¡°Mr reporter, don¡¯t spout nonsense!¡± ¡°As I said just now, baseless allegations are meaningless!¡± ¡°If you frame me again, I¡¯ll definitely sue you for slander!¡± ¡°As long as a virus incident happens in the online world, you¡¯ll push the blame to me immediately. This is simply a joke!¡± ¡°Are you going to push the blame to me when you did a paternity test and realized that your son wasn¡¯t your child?¡± The foreign reporter became visibly upset upon hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words. Li Chengqian glanced at him and continued, ¡°Does everyone want to know why the Divine Dragon System isn¡¯t infected with the virus?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll explain it briefly. Because it¡¯s too complicated, not everyone will understand. ¡°Actually, no virus can infect the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°This is because the Divine Dragon System will create an operating space for every software! This space is a sandbox! Any software¡¯s operation and the virus¡¯s operation will be strictly limited to the sandbox. It¡¯s equivalent to being physically isolated from the outside world.¡± ¡°In the Divine Dragon System, there is a built-in intelligence-level safety assessment mechanism. When a virus operates, the system will detect the abnormality in the sandbox. The sandbox that was originally impossible to break through will be reinforced again.¡± ¡°The sandbox mechanism is the core security mechanism of the Divine Dragon System. It can resist any virus attack.¡± ¡°The sandbox mechanism is not only embedded in the computer version, but also in the server version of the Divine Dragon System. It also exists in the Divine Dragon System mobile version.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why the computers and phones installed with the Divine Dragon System didn¡¯t get infected.¡± ¡°This is also the reason why the Divine Dragon System is immune to any virus,¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the doubts in everyone¡¯s eyes immediately decreased a lot. According to Li Chengqian, the Divine Dragon System was immune to all virus attacks. No virus could attack the Divine Dragon System. It was normal for it not to be infected. This wasn¡¯t specifically targeted at the current Doomsday Extortion Virus. With this explanation, the suspicion of Divine Dragon Software Company was instantly reduced by more than half. ¡°No matter how you explain it, you can¡¯t explain one thing. In this Doomsday virus incident, the Divine Dragon Software Company will be the biggest beneficiary,¡± the foreign reporter roared angrily. Just now, he had been the butt of Li Chengqian¡¯s joke when he made the analogy. Now, his heart was filled with anger, and he only wanted to counterattack and take revenge. ¡°Mr reporter, I¡¯m starting to doubt your identity as a reporter!¡± Li Chengqian glanced coldly at the foreign reporter. ¡°This is my ID!¡± The foreign reporter didn¡¯t back down and showed his reporter ID. Then, like a rooster that had won a battle, he said arrogantly and loudly, ¡°Mr. Li, please don¡¯t avoid my question. Please answer my question directly. Everyone is waiting for your answer.¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply an idiot. You actually said that our Divine Dragon Software Company will benefit from this?¡± ¡°The IP address distribution servers and the domain name servers are not functioning. The internet cannot function.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Software is also a company that relies on the internet. In particular, almost all of our software are internet-based.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a problem with the internet and thus all the software provided by our company can¡¯t function. The Divine Dragon Software Company will suffer greater losses than the other companies because of this.¡± ¡°And you actually said that the Divine Dragon Software Company stands to benefit the most from this? I don¡¯t know how you came up with this illogical conclusion. Perhaps your Sunset Empire¡¯s logic and knowledge system is different from ours?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, in this matter, there is only one true profiteer, and that is the hacker, Cerberus! The others are all losers!¡± Li Chengqian spoke bluntly in a cold and stern tone. The foreign reporter was furious and his face turned red. He was tempted to rush up and fight Li Chengqian. ¡°F*cker, you damn yellow monkey, how dare you insult me¡­!¡± The two security guards beside him saw that something was wrong. On Principal Wu¡¯s signal, they lifted him up like he was a chick and covered the foreign reporter¡¯s mouth tightly before bringing him out. Li Chengqian appeared to be scolding the foreign reporter, but in fact, he was talking to everyone in the auditorium. After everyone heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, they thought about it carefully and realized that what Li Chengqian said indeed made sense. Especially in the current situation when the internet could not be used normally. The restrictions on the Divine Dragon Software Company was actually the greatest. For the systems of other companies, where the internet is not available, they can be re-installed via CD-ROMs and USB drives. As for the Divine Dragon System, the current installation method was to download it through the official website and install it through the one-click migration software. Now that the internet was cut off, the one-click migration software could not be downloaded. Even if it was downloaded, it could not be used. Even if the Divine Dragon System was immune to the virus, it could not be promoted. Principal Wu gestured to the reporter from the national television station to continue. However, because of the virus, he really wanted to end this press conference as soon as possible and work on eliminating the virus. The other experts on stage had the same thought. Originally, many people were very interested in Li Chengqian¡¯s question and answer, but because of the virus, everyone was whispering with worry on their faces. Their attention had already shifted. In modern society, everything was interconnected. Many things relied on the internet. Everyone felt uncomfortable, inconvenienced, and even anxious once the internet is down. Everyone¡¯s money was all in the phone. After the internet went down, even getting food was a big problem. Everyone was quietly discussing how long it would take for an anti-virus tool to be developed and for life to go back to normal. ¡°Reporter friends, I won¡¯t be talking about our future development for the time being!¡± ¡°I feel that the most important thing for us to do now is to get the internet to work again. This is more important than anything else,¡± Li Chengqian said with a solemn expression. Chapter 204 - 204 Communication Restored 1 204 Communication Restored 1 ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s going on! Why are you still unable to solve the virus problem?¡± Satia roared angrily. Six hours had passed since the outbreak of the virus, but the scientists of Windows hadn¡¯t made any progress. Any equipment that appeared on the internet would instantly be infected and controlled by the virus. They only had a superficial understanding of the virus for now. ¡°The internet has stopped for six hours. Now, the entire world is in a state of panic. As long as we are the first to develop a tool that can kill the virus, we will be the saviors of this world.¡± ¡°From now on, Windows will rule the operating systems market.¡± ¡°But now, you¡¯re telling me that there¡¯s nothing we can do?¡± Satia flew into a rage. ¡°Get back to work immediately. I promise you now that if anyone can develop a virus removal tool in the remaining six hours and restore all the computers installed with Windows, I will apply to the Board of Directors and directly reward you with 100 million!¡± After saying that, Satia returned to his office. Other than that, he had no other choice. The internet was down and so businesses that relied on the internet could not be conducted. There was no way to communicate with others, or to buy virtual currency online to redeem the data. Apple, Google and the Linux Foundation, and so on were all in the same boat. ¡°After the internet went down, the technology of the entire world fell back by 50 years! We have gone back to the mechanical era.¡± Someone sighed. ¡°The viruses currently running are developed based on the existing operating systems. As long as we develop a new operating system, these viruses won¡¯t have the soil to survive.¡± Someone suggested. ¡°Develop a new operating system? And it¡¯s not based on Linux? Oh, that might take a long time. We only have six hours now. When the time is up, Cerberus will clear all the data.¡± Someone immediately jumped out to retort. After the Sunset Empire¡¯s domain name management organization realized that there was no way to eliminate the virus, they found a few very ancient tape servers. To their surprise, these ancient tape servers could still be used. The programs in these tape servers are fixed and cannot be changed. It was precisely because of this characteristic that the tape server was immune to virus attacks. After a while, they finally got the ancient tape servers up and running. However, this 30-year-old tape server had been replaced 30 years ago because it was too slow. Compared to 30 years ago, the number of internet devices worldwide had increased by 100,000 times. Therefore, after only a minute of operation, because all the domain name resolution in the world emitted a huge amount of heat, this ancient machine was almost scrapped. However, the server only processed one millionth of the requests. ¡°Oh, f*ck This old thing is too slow! It¡¯s totally useless.¡± The person in charge of the Sunset Empire¡¯s domain name management organization was disappointed. ¡°Cerberus is a fool. He actually attacked the most basic facilities of the internet. Great, the domain name servers can¡¯t be used. Even if we want to pay him the ransom, we can¡¯t do it.¡± Then, he couldn¡¯t help but curse. Currently, his only hope was that the Red Hat Corporation¡¯s security experts could eliminate the virus in the domain name servers. Unfortunately, the Red Hat Corporation, which he had placed his hopes on, could not work at all because their computers were controlled by the virus. They were still waiting for the help of the Linux Foundation. Meanwhile, under Principal Wu¡¯s lead, everyone walked out of the auditorium. As soon as they arrived on the main road, Academician Lin Qu pulled Li Chengqian aside and asked softly. ¡°Li Chengqian, tell me the truth about this virus. Did you cause it?¡± ¡°No!¡± Li Chengqian said firmly. He looked at Academician Lin Qu with his head held high. Academician Lin Qi stared at Li Chengqian for a full minute. After seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s unflinching gaze, he nodded. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Li Chengqian was baffled. He didn¡¯t know what Academician Lin Qu had understood. He clearly didn¡¯t say anything, and what he said was the truth. He really didn¡¯t create this Doomsday Extortion Virus. ¡°According to the news from abroad, the domain name servers have also been controlled by the virus! The internet is completely paralyzed,¡± Academician Lin Qu said solemnly. ¡°This is catastrophic for the internet!¡± ¡°However to our Divine Dragon Country, it is not entirely bad news. There is an opportunity in the crisis.¡± ¡°Because our country¡¯s internet industry developed slowly, so far, after countless trials and applications, and after paying a huge price, we¡¯ve only obtained 60 million IP addresses from the Sunset Empire¡¯s Domain Name Administration. But our country has a billion netizens! There¡¯s not enough IP resources at all.¡± ¡°Have you heard of the Iceman Project?¡± Academician Lin Qu suddenly asked. ¡°I know. IPv6 is experimental! It can completely solve the problem of the shortage of IP addresses worldwide and also guarantee our country¡¯s network security.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. He naturally knew about the Iceman Project. Chapter 205 - 205 Communication Restored 2 205 Communication Restored 2 ¡°The main server for the Iceman Project is at the Software Research Institute!¡± ¡°If our Iceman Project server can be the first to be recovered and if we can provide IPv6 services to the world¡­ The future of the internet will belong to the Divine Dragon Country and can even be controlled by the Divine Dragon Country!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s tone was filled with excitement. ¡°I just want to ask you how long it will take to transform the Iceman Project server system into the Divine Dragon System, and to provide domain name resolution and IP distribution services?¡± Academician Lin Qu became nervous after asking this. Because this was very critical! As long as this could be done soon enough, the Iceman Project server would be the only server to provide services while the virus is on its rampage. It would instantly replace the domain name servers of the Sunset Empire Domain Name Administration. From now on, the most basic facilities of the internet would be in the hands of the Divine Dragon Country. The Sunset Empire could no longer order the Divine Dragon Country around. Moreover, in the future, if the roles were reversed, the Sunset Empire would have to beg the Divine Dragon Country if they wanted to use an IP address. ¡°One hour! I only need one hour to get the Iceman Project server to provide services to the world,¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. The server system had already been developed! In the server system, there is a built-in domain name resolution service, as well as an IP allocation service. As long as the Divine Dragon System was installed, the Iceman Project server of the Software Research Institute would immediately be recovered. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll go to the Software Research Institute immediately!¡± Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He pulled Li Chengqian and rushed towards the Software Research Institute. Principal Wu had been listening to the two of them. After seeing the two of them quickly walk out, he immediately followed them. ¡°Director Chen, go to the National Communications Company and ask their technicians to come to the Software Research Institute.¡± Before leaving, he didn¡¯t forget to instruct him. In addition to getting the Project Iceman server up and running, so as to provide domain name resolution services and IP assignment services, there was one more thing that needed to be done. The network services of the internet service provider, the National Communications Company, must be restored. The servers of the National Communications Company were also currently controlled by the virus. They couldn¡¯t work normally and couldn¡¯t assign IPs. Only after the server functions of the National Communications Company was restored could the network of the Divine Dragon Country function normally again. This was the basis for the Iceman Project to serve the world. ¡°Li Chengqian, this kid, looks like he came well prepared. He actually dared to say that he would get the Iceman Project server up and running within an hour and to provide services to the world.¡± Principal Wu followed quietly, having some guesses in his heart. ¡­ Under the lead of Academician Lin Qu, they arrived at the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences. Li Chengqian turned off the Iceman Project server that was already controlled by the virus. Then, he inserted a portable hard disk he brought with him into the USB port of the computer. In addition to the one-click migration method, the Divine Dragon system could also also be installed using the traditional USB method. The installation of the server operating system was very fast! In about 10 minutes, the system was installed. After Li Chengqian debugged it, he turned on the domain name analysis function and IP address assignment function. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, the server system has been installed and the domain name analysis function has been turned on. The top-level domain name generation function and the IP address assignment function can also operate normally! However, there¡¯s still a problem now,¡± Li Chengqian said with a frown. Hearing Li Chengqian mention the top-level domain name creation and management function, everyone¡¯s eyes widened, and their breathing became rapid. This was because the top-level domain name and management function used to be in the hands of the Sunset Empire Domain Name Administration. If you want to use top-level domain names, you have to buy them from the Sunset Empire Domain Name Administration. Google spent a billion on the top-level ¡°.app¡± domain name. Now, through the server provided by Li Chengqian, he could have as many top-level domain names as he wanted. After clicking on the server to generate them, he could instantly have countless. This function alone represented trillions of profits and the market. The Software Research Institute would have a steady stream of income in the future. Of course, there was a prerequisite, which was that the Iceman Project server would have to be the first to provide domain name resolution services to the world for a long time. However, when he heard that Li Chengqian had another question, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s heart tightened. He quickly asked, ¡°What question?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t recover the original data on the server for the time being, so you need to redo the assignment of the IP address.¡± ¡°It is the same situation for the domain name resolution function. You need to bind the IP and domain name again before you can provide the service normally.¡± ¡°At the same time, due to the virus, the data has been lost. The ownership of the domain name can¡¯t be confirmed for the time being.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already added domain name registration and purchase functionality to the server!¡± ¡°At the same time, the server can also provide self-service IP and domain name binding functions.¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes widened! How was this a problem? These were clearly benefits. Originally, Academician Lin Qu had only hoped that Li Chengqian could solve the domain name resolution and IP distribution function. Now, he had brought out the core functions of the domain name management organization. If the internet was working normally, these functions would be useless. Now that the internet had collapsed and these functions existed in the server of the Divine Dragon System, it could immediately replace the position of the root domain name server and become the new root domain name server. Chapter 206 - 206 Communication Restored 3 206 Communication Restored 3 This was practically a function designed to steal the job of the Sunset Empire Domain Name Administration. ¡°Good, these functions are good!¡± Academician Lin Qu praised. Principal Wu looked at Academician Lin Qu enviously. ¡°The Software Research Institute is so lucky. If only the server for the Iceman Project was at Divine Dragon University.¡± After completing the initial setup of the server, Li Chengqian copied the operating manual of the server and placed it in the server. This manual was very detailed. Most of the questions could be answered in the manual. ¡°Alright, the server of the Iceman Project is ready to provide service!¡± ¡°If the subsequent performance is insufficient, we only need to increase the number of servers and integrate them into the server group to solve the performance issue!¡± Li Chengqian pointed at the dashboard on the server interface. On it, the core indicators of the server, CPU, memory, hard disk, internet bandwidth usage, and temperature were all displayed. Once the usage exceeded 80%, the server would send a reminder. It was very convenient. Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian directly used the Project Iceman server to create a domain name and bound the domain name to the internal network IP of the Software Research Institute. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he accessed the Iceman Project server on another computer installed with the Divine Dragon System. A web page was opened smoothly! There was no lag. After seeing this, everyone in the Software Research Institute, including Principal Wu and the others, couldn¡¯t help but clap hard with excited smiles on their faces. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°The Iceman Project server has been restored. It can provide domain name resolution services! It can also provide IP assignment services.¡± ¡°Quick, we have to be fast. Once we solve the problem of the internet operator, the internet in Divine Dragon Country will immediately be restored.¡± ¡°President Li, I¡¯m Li Shui from the Technology Department of the National Communications Company. The problem our company is facing is like this¡­¡± In fact, the person in charge of the Technology Department of the National Communications Company, Li Shui, arrived not long after Academician Lin Qu. Seeing that Li Chengqian was busy, he did not disturb him. To be honest, he did not have much confidence in the server version of the Divine Dragon System because he had never heard of it before. After seeing that Li Chengqian had built the domain name management and parse server based on the Divine Dragon System server version and that services have been resumed, his confidence increased greatly. Then, he described the problem with the IP server. Li Chengqian listened carefully and took out his laptop. Then, he used the laptop as a demonstration and taught Li Shui on the spot. ¡°It¡¯s very simple, I understand!¡± Li Shui had a technical background. He understood the main point with just a few words from Li Chengqian. ¡°President Li, please come with me to the company¡¯s serve room¡­¡± Li Shui was still a little worried. Li Chengqian handed Li Shui a USB drive that contained the Divine Dragon System server version. ¡°I need to look after the domain name server here. Install the system directly and then enter the MAC address of my computer through the system¡¯s built-in auxiliary tools. I can configure it for you remotely.¡± ¡°After I configure the core national IP distribution and data exchange server room.¡± ¡°What happens next is very simple!¡± ¡°I believe there must be an emergency communication system in your company.¡± ¡°Get your provincial company to find a computer installed with the Divine Dragon System locally. Then, enter the MAC address of your company¡¯s core server room. Then, use this computer to connect to the provincial core server room. You can automatically change the system of the provincial core server room and set it up automatically¡­¡± ¡°And so on. The same goes for the city-level communications server room and the county-level communications server room.¡± ¡°I think with your company¡¯s mobilization ability, you should be able to replace all the systems in the communication core server room today.¡± Li Shui nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll go do this first! If there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand, I¡¯ll consult you through the MAC address. According to your demonstration just now, if it¡¯s spread throughout the country, it shouldn¡¯t take more than three hours to complete.¡± ¡°The most important thing now is to recover the ability to talk on the phone and send messages.¡± ¡°Otherwise, it¡¯ll cause a nation-wide panic.¡± Twenty minutes later, the core IP distribution and data exchange server room system of the Divine Dragon Country was successfully replaced. Forty minutes later, all provincial IP allocation and data exchange server rooms have switched to the Divine Dragon system. An hour later, all the municipal IP allocation and data exchange server rooms have switched to the Divine Dragon system. IOne and a half hours later, the first county-level IP allocation and data exchange server room system switch was successful and service began. Phone and text messaging services were partially restored. Three hours later, 99% of counties in the Country regained their ability to communicate via text messages and phone. The ability to broadcast live on television had also been restored. Then, all the television stations broadcasted the news. The familiar host appeared on the screen, putting everyone at ease. The panic in the people¡¯s hearts was greatly alleviated with the restoration of communication. After they contacted their families, everyone calmed down. Although there was only one television channel and it was broadcasting the news, everyone felt more at ease. ¡°Currently, the most serious Doomsday Extortion Virus in the world has happened. This virus has a serious impact on Windows, Apple, Linux, and other similar systems. There are currently no defense methods available.¡± ¡°The only operating system that is immune to the Doomsday Extortion Virus is the Divine Dragon System developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company¡­ Our country was able to recover from the virus attack first because of the Divine Dragon System¡¯s back-end support in domain name resolution, IP distribution, data exchange, and so on.¡± ¡°Currently, all versions of the Divine Dragon System are available for download. The download website is ls.cn. The Divine Dragon System is immune to viruses and is the safest system. I recommend everyone to use it.¡± ¡°Iceman Project has begun to provide domain name resolution services to the outside world. Enterprises in need are requested to apply for the services from the Software Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences immediately¡­¡± Chapter 207 - 207 First Target, Domain Name Server 1 207 First Target, Domain Name Server 1 In the command center of the Academy of Sciences¡¯ Software Research Institute, various well known companies¡¯ domain names are being bound to the respective IPs. The websites of Baidu, WeChat, QQ, Alipay, and other companies were restored. Every time a website was restored, cheers would come from the crowd. ¡°Reporting to the command center, communication service has been fully restored! Broadband internet service, telephone service, and SMS service are all normal. Currently, the server installed with the Divine Dragon System is operating very steadily. Over.¡± ¡°Reporting to the command center, all television networks have returned to normal and are providing services to users. The server installed with the Divine Dragon System is operating very steadily. Over.¡± ¡°Reporting to the command center, the railway network has completely returned to normal¡­¡± Because the Software Research Institute¡¯s Iceman Project server was the first to be recovered, and In addition, the domain name resolution server was the core of the internet, the Software Research Institute became the command center for this exercise to restore internet operations the moment the government¡¯s communication was restored. Academician Lin Qu became the team leader of this operation. Academician Lin Qu in turn appointed Li Chengqian as a special adviser. All aspects related to the internet had to be reported to the command center set up at the Software Research Institute. The government¡¯s direction was that they had to recover from the Doomsday Extortion Virus attack first, at all costs. After the National Telecommunications Company successfully repaired the network and made an emergency broadcast on the national television station, they asked all the national departments to install the back-end service of the Divine Dragon System immediately. The computers used for office purposes must also be installed with the Divine Dragon System. Although only three hours had passed, the number of installations of the personal version of the Divine Dragon System had directly increased from about one million units to 300 million units! Individual users, led by government users, also began to install the Divine Dragon System on a large scale. The number of installations was still increasing rapidly. According to this trend, the number of installations might exceed 1 billion by night time. While the number of individual users was increasing rapidly, all servers and systems in the government departments were switched to the Divine Dragon System server version. The communications industry, the power industry, the government¡¯s various administrative processing systems, and all the public service industries were back to normal operations and providing services to the people under the support of the Divine Dragon System server version. This server system, which had just been released earlier during the speech, had more than a million installations. As the Windows and Linux servers were attacked by the Doomsday Extortion Virus, after the internet had been restored in the Divine Dragon Country, many commercial entities also immediately tried to use the Divine Dragon System server version in order to quickly restore their service capabilities. At this moment, they discovered another benefit of the Divine Dragon System. This way, the threat of the ransomware would be broken. The data in the server would not disappear even after 12 hours. Although the files couldn¡¯t be restored after installing the Divine Dragon System, However, this way, there would at least be time to develop an antivirus software, and there would be hope of restoring the files. Because of this characteristic, the Divine Dragon System server version instantly became the savior of all companies. Everyone scrambled to download the system and install it on their own servers. At this moment, Jiang Chao, who was in charge of the government-related systems, updated the situation loudly. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, all the government-related services have returned to normal and can provide services to the public! It¡¯s just that a lot of the data from the past has been locked by the Doomsday Extortion Virus. It can¡¯t be opened now, and all the data has become corrupted.¡± As he mentioned ¡®corrupted data¡¯, Jiang Chao looked at Li Chengqian, who was expressionless and serious. He was using the brainwave receiver to analyze the virus. Chen Lin, who was in charge of a commercial company, also reported, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, 3,000 companies in the country, especially those that provide internet services, have already submitted domain name ownership certificates and tied their domain names with their IP address.¡± ¡°Currently, internet service providers have basically resumed normal operations.¡± ¡°However, we¡¯re now facing the same problem as the administrative system. Now, let¡¯s talk about the data. Although the Divine Dragon System was installed in time and the data wasn¡¯t deleted by the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the data files can¡¯t be read either. Next, the restoration of the data files will be key to our work.¡± After Chen Lin finished updating on the situation, he also looked in Li Chengqian¡¯s direction and realized that Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze was fixed on the computer screen. Countless characters flashed across the screen, and he could not help but feel a little disappointed. At this moment, Zhou Jin, who was in charge of the mobile phone business, frowned and reported, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, other than the Heyme phones and the Long Yao phones installed with the Divine Dragon System, the rest of the phones are either Apple or Android.¡± ¡°About 800 million of them.¡± ¡°A lot of mobile phone users have left messages on the internet, asking us to solve the problem of the virus on our phones.¡± ¡°They are requesting for the open and safe Divine Dragon System mobile version to be installed for the normal users. The number of users petitioning on Weibo has already exceeded 300 million.¡± Zhou Jin glanced at Li Chengqian and realized that Li Chengqian¡¯s attention was not on him at all. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Academician Lin Qu, who was looking tired. Chapter 208 - 208 First Target, Domain Name Server 2 208 First Target, Domain Name Server 2 Academician Lin Qu recorded what Zhou Jin said in his notebook. ¡°Li Chengqian, please stop for a moment!¡± He also looked at Li Chengqian and realized that Li Chengqian was focused on analyzing the code. After looking at the time, he could only interject. Li Chengqian stopped and looked at Academician Lin Qu. ¡°Li Chengqian, the first problem we need to solve now is the problem of the mobile phone users. There are only two hours left until the time limit set by the hacker, Cerberus.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know what will happen two hours later.¡± ¡°Currently, more than 800 million cell phone users have been infected.¡± ¡°If the virus breaks out in two hours and damages these 800 million phones, it will cause at least hundreds of billions of losses.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the only one who can stop this from happening.¡± ¡°Look, on Weibo, everyone is begging you to help.¡± ¡°There are 300 million people begging you to help!¡± Academician Lin Qu pointed at Zhou Jin¡¯s Weibo, the topic of asking the Divine Dragon Software Company to help solve the mobile phone problem had already exceeded 330 million comments within a short time. Due to the Doomsday Extortion Virus, almost all the data could not be used. There were no more videos on the internet, no more music, no more webnovels, no more gossip, no more jokes and no more news. The internet, which had been rebooted, was blank. All the comments were just posted by the netizens. At this moment, the most discussed topic on the internet was to ask the Divine Dragon Software Company for help. ¡°Divine Dragon Software Company. I have a photo of my grandmother on my mobile phone. She passed away ten years ago. We were poor back then, this is the only photo we have of her. If I lose this photo, I won¡¯t have a home, no grandmother¡­ Please help me.¡± ¡°I have a very important piece of evidence on my mobile phone. That¡¯s the only copy. If the data is deleted, I¡¯ll go bankrupt. Divine Dragon Software Company, please help me. My father is 87 years old and he is still hospitalized. My wife has just given birth to an adorable daughter. If I go bankrupt, my father won¡¯t be able to live and my daughter won¡¯t have anyone to rely on.¡± ¡°My daughter passed away ten years ago. I have her only photo on my mobile phone. I can¡¯t lose this photo. She¡¯s my only motivation to live.¡± Many people left heart wrenching comments on Weibo. Many people said that they couldn¡¯t afford to lose the data on their mobile phones. Some people even said that if they couldn¡¯t recover the data on their mobile phones, they would lose all reason to live. ¡°Li Chengqian, please help these people.¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at him hopefully. ¡°Alright! But I¡¯m only capable of helping Android users.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°Alright! Please do whatever you can!¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian gratefully. Li Chengqian¡¯s response had already exceeded his expectations. An hour later, Li Chengqian developed an Android system app and named it the Divine Dragon System Installer. Then, he posted it on Divine Dragon Software¡¯s official website as quickly as possible. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, the software has been developed.¡± ¡°It is very simple to use. You only need to download it and install it into the mobile phone. The Android phone system will be replaced with the Divine Dragon phone system.¡± ¡°After the Doomsday Extortion Virus loses its operating environment, it can¡¯t destroy the data in the mobile phone.¡± ¡°However, after doing this, it will have a huge impact on future sales of the Divine Dragon phones.¡± ¡°It will also cause huge losses to our partners.¡± ¡°Therefore, I¡¯ve placed restrictions on this app. Firstly, this app can only be installed before the deadline set by the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± ¡°Secondly, the phone users that have installed the Divine Dragon System through this app will face a choice in three days. They will have to pay a 300 yuan system usage fee or return to the original system,¡± Li Chengqian said in a low voice. Just as he had said, he needed to protect the interests of his partners. If he allowed the Divine Dragon System to be installed on all phones for free, Huawei, Heyme and the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company would be disappointed. ¡°Alright! Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry. I have taken note of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s contribution and the losses in this incident. Don¡¯t worry, the country won¡¯t shortchange you!¡± Academician Lin Qu also understood Li Chengqian¡¯s dilemma. After experimenting and confirming that the installer of the Divine Dragon System was indeed effective, Academician Lin Qu obtained the approval of the higher-ups. Right on the heels of that, the function and download link of the Divine Dragon System installer were posted in the most conspicuous spots on all the websites. The national television station also began to introduce and recommend the installation of the Divine Dragon System. With the help of many parties, there were 680 million installations of the Divine Dragon System within half an hour. At a legendary speed, it quickly occupied 99% of Android phones. ¡°My phone data can finally be saved! The Doomsday Extortion Virus won¡¯t delete the data.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System has been installed. It¡¯s so smooth. The Android System is a pile of shit compared to the Divine Dragon System!¡± Chapter 209 - 209 First Target, Domain Name Server 3 209 First Target, Domain Name Server 3 ¡°Although the data hasn¡¯t been restored yet, at least it has been preserved. We¡¯ll patiently wait for the appearance of the Doomsday Extortion Virus removal software.¡± In contrast to the happy cheers of Android users, Apple users felt terrible. This was because they realized that the Divine Dragon System installer released this time did not have an Apple version. ¡°Apple used to brag that they are the safest system in the world and would never be infected by a virus.¡± ¡°From the looks of it, they were just bragging.¡± ¡°Apple phones are synonymous with high-end phones. As long as there are any problems, Apple will resolve them as quickly as possible. High-end products come with high-end services.¡± ¡°Therefore, Apple phones with the same hardware are priced at 10,000 yuan, while Android phones only cost 5,000 yuan!¡± ¡°Now, the virus in Android phones has been temporarily resolved. As for Apple, no one is working on the virus issue, their service can¡¯t be compared to Android.¡± ¡°High-end¡­ my foot! It¡¯s all f*cking tricks, all designed to con stupid users, all fake publicity and advertising.¡± ¡°From now on, if I buy Apple products again, I¡¯ll be a stupid pig!¡± Someone cursed on the internet. After Li Chengqian completed the development of the Android app, he was pulled in by Academician Lin Qu and rushed to the Foreign Affairs Department. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, what¡¯s going on?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a frown. Seeing Li Chengqian frown, Academician Lin Qu immediately explained, ¡°Li Chengqian, this is what happened!¡± ¡°After the Doomsday Extortion Virus broke out, the internet in all countries was down.¡± ¡°After the ambassadors of other countries realized that our country¡¯s internet had returned to normal and the related systems and websites had been restored, they wanted to use our method to restore the internet in their country.¡± ¡°After they informed their home country about how we restored the internet, and after spending a lot of effort to get a computer installed with the Divine Dragon System¡­ They tried to connect to the Iceman Project server through MAC and download the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°However, they discovered that the Divine Dragon System server version is prohibited from being used anywhere else other than the Divine Dragon Country.¡± ¡°Now, ambassadors from many countries have come to the Foreign Affairs Department to ask us to remove the prohibition.¡± ¡°The people from the Foreign Affairs Department contacted me and said that they wanted to invite you over to discuss it. They wanted to hear your opinion.¡± Academician Lin Qu explained the situation in one breath and looked at Li Chengqian, wanting to hear his thoughts. The Divine Dragon System was Li Chengqian¡¯s. He had the final say on which country or individual he would allow usage. Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm, without the slightest change. Seeing that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say anything, Academician Lin Qu smiled bitterly and continued, ¡°Li Chengqian, my suggestion is to agree to let other countries use it, but don¡¯t go easy on them for the fees.¡± ¡°Let the domain name resolution and IP allocation servers of all other countries become branch servers.¡± ¡°As long as half of the countries in the world deploy branch servers, our Iceman Project will be completely successful!¡± ¡°At that time, the Iceman Project server will become the core domain name server of the internet and belong to our country.¡± ¡°From now on, the allocation of IP addresses and domain names will have nothing to do with the Sunset Empire. Our country will have the final say.¡± ¡°Moreover, we no longer have to be afraid of the Sunset Empire shutting down our country¡¯s domain name resolution service during critical periods.¡± Once a country¡¯s domain name resolution Service was shut down, the consequences would be almost the same as the effects of the Doomsday Extortion Virus. There would be situations where the Internet would lose its function and websites would not be accessible. It had always been Academician Lin Qu¡¯s dream to set up a domain name server in the Divine Dragon Country and control the core services of the internet. Now, with the help of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the Divine Dragon System server version, and Li Chengqian, the main domain name server had been deployed. As long as the branch domain name server was deployed in other countries, his dream was not far from success. If the virus continued to wreak havoc for a longer time, his dream would basically be realized. At this moment, even Academician Lin Qu was looking forward to it. The Doomsday Extortion Virus was in other countries and could not be destroyed. All countries were waiting for the Divine Dragon Nation¡¯s branch domain name server to save them. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry. The country won¡¯t shortchange you! The country doesn¡¯t care about the money at all.¡± ¡°The Iceman Project server is maintained by the Academy of Sciences¡¯ Software Research Institute. The specific operations can be carried out by the Divine Dragon Software Company. All the profits earned in this operation can go to the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Academician Lin Qu was worried that Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t agree, so he promised solemnly. After hearing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s sincere words, Li Chengqian shook his head. A smile finally appeared on his calm face. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, the Divine Dragon Software Company is only a company that sells server systems. As for what others use our company¡¯s server for, how much money they earn, we don¡¯t care, and we won¡¯t participate.¡± ¡°You have to pay me every cent for the system and software system used in the Iceman Project server, but that¡¯s all I will take. I won¡¯t take a single cent more.¡± Li Chengqian made his stand clear. The domain name server was originally a gift for the Software Research Institute and the Divine Dragon Country. The domain name server indeed could bring in huge profits, but Li Chengqian had never thought much of these profits. In fact, the current situation of the Iceman Project server and the internet situation in other countries were all planned and executed by him. The old order has been washed out by the Project Great Flood. A new order was established on the ruins and led the development of the world. In Li Chengqian¡¯s plan, the domain name server was an important part of the new world and the new world order. The Sunset Empire wanted to restrict the development of Divine Dragon Software in the software industry through suppression, restrict its production capacity, and steal its brainwave coding technology. Thus Li Chengqian decided to deal them a ruthless blow and destroy the foundation of the Sunset Empire¡¯s control of the Internet, the domain name server. ¡­ Chapter 210 - 210 Requests from Other Countries 210 Requests from Other Countries At this moment, the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was filled with people. The ambassadors of all the countries that have diplomatic ties with the Divine Dragon Country are here. ¡°Minister Cao, when can you give us a reply?¡± Sunset Empire¡¯s ambassador, Li Laide, kept sweating. He watched the time on his watch pass second by second and was burning with anxiety. This was because there was only an hour left until the deadline given by the Doomsday Extortion Virus. In an hour, data would be deleted from all the infected devices. According to the information from the Sunset Empire, they had yet to find any way to eliminate the Virus. They could not even stop the virus software from operating. After they got to know that the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s network had returned to normal, the Sunset Empire also tried to use the MAC address to connect to the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company and download the Divine Dragon System to install on the server and personal computer. Then, they discovered a situation that made them freak out. The installation program of the Divine Dragon System detected that it was an out-of-country installation and banned it. Seeing that the deadline set by the hacker Cerberus was getting nearer and nearer, Sunset Empire gave Li Laide an emergency order. He had to think of a way to remove the installation restrictions of the Divine Dragon System. Other countries discovered the same problem. Ambassadors came one after another to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Divine Dragon Country to seek help. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. Academician Lin Qu, the leader of the Virus Restoration Team, is already on his way here. The developer of the Divine Dragon System, Li Chengqian, is on his way with Academician Lin Qu.¡± ¡°They should be able to solve everyone¡¯s problem,¡± Minister Cao said slowly, smiling to himself. ¡°However, the Divine Dragon System is a commercial operating system. If you want to use it, you have to pay the corresponding fee. I have to make this clear to everyone first.¡± Minister Cao looked at Li Laide, who was sweating profusely, and felt extremely vindicated. Just a few days ago, Li Laide had even made a statement banning any country from importing or using the Divine Dragon System. The tables were turned just within a few days. Li Laide was now begging the Divine Dragon Software Company to lift the restrictions so that they could import the Divine Dragon System. He was eating the humble pie big time! ¡°Minister Cao, we will pay a reasonable fee, but there are only 50 minutes left. Why isn¡¯t Li Chengqian here yet? Can you help us chase them?¡± Li Laide asked Minister Cao for help, in a tone he had never used before. Sunset Empire had sent him a message through a special channel, requesting him to obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System. When Minister Cao heard Li Laide¡¯s words, he felt as if he had eaten an ice pop in the middle of summer. His spirits were lifted. Li Laide¡¯s attitude had always been very tough and aggressive. This was the first time he had seen him so humble. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they should be here soon.¡± Minister Cao¡¯s expression did not change as he continued to answer slowly. At this moment, under the lead of the relevant personnel, Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian walked into the conference room. Immediately, most of the ambassadors who were originally seated stood up and looked at Li Chengqian excitedly. At this moment, in their eyes, Li Chengqian was their only savior, their only hope. ¡°Look, aren¡¯t they here now?¡± Minister Cao smiled and waved at Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Li Chengqian, please take a seat over here.¡± When Li Laide saw Li Chengqian, his eyes suddenly lit up. He abandoned Minister Cao and turned around, walking straight towards Li Chengqian. Minister Cao¡¯s eyes immediately turned cold. ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. I¡¯m the ambassador of the Sunset Empire, Li Laide¡­¡± Li Laide spoke quickly. He even extended his hand to Li Chengqian, wanting to shake his hand. However, Li Chengqian acted as if he did not hear his greeting and did not see his outstretched hand. He walked away from Li Laide and walked straight towards Minister Cao. This direct disregard made Li Laide¡¯s face turn red from extreme embarrassment. Then, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and hid a cold gaze in his eyes. When the ambassadors of the other countries saw this scene, many of them smiled in amusement. However, due to the power of the Sunset Empire, many of them held back their laughter. On the other hand, the ambassadors of a few countries who had always been at odds with the Sunset Empire laughed out loud. ¡°This idiot.¡± Minister Cao also had a happy smile on his face. He looked at Li Chengqian approvingly. Li Laide¡¯s face was contorted with anger. He suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to his seat with a cold expression. The ambassadors around Li Laide were all ambassadors from small countries. When they saw Li Laide¡¯s murderous look, they controlled themselves and didn¡¯t show any emotions. This was because their country was too small. If they angered Li Laide, it might cause trouble for their country or for themselves. Under Minister Cao¡¯s greeting, Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian took their seats in the host¡¯s position. At this moment, Minister Cao spoke. ¡°Alright, everyone. Academician Lin Qu and Mr. Li Chengqian have arrived.¡± ¡°In order to save time, I¡¯ll communicate directly with Mr. Li Chengqian on your behalf.¡± After Minister Cao finished speaking, everyone except Li Laide nodded in agreement. ¡°Li Chengqian, here¡¯s the situation!¡± Minister Cao turned his head and smiled at Li Chengqian. ¡°The Doomsday Extortion Virus has spread throughout the world. Other than our country returning to normal, the other countries are still under the threat of the Virus.¡± ¡°All the internet experts and operating system security experts in the world haven¡¯t cracked the Doomsday Extortion Virus, nor have they developed any antivirus tools to deal with it.¡± When Minister Cao said this, he smiled at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian understood that smile. It was clearly a hint. The meaning was obvious. He wanted Li Chengqian to make a bold request and raise the price. ¡°Because the virus in the Divine Dragon Country has been controlled and eliminated by the Divine Dragon System, they also want to use the Divine Dragon System to control the virus in their country.¡± ¡°However, I heard that there¡¯s a very amazing mechanism in the Divine Dragon System that forbids the installation of the System in countries other than the Divine Dragon Country?¡± ¡°These ambassadors came over to discuss with me and ask for permission to install and use the Divine Dragon System in their countries.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± After Minister Cao finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian. The others also looked at Li Chengqian nervously. Many of them also took a glance at the time and realized that they were getting nearer and nearer to the Doomsday Extortion Virus deadline. They were anxious. Even Li Laidei, who was extremely displeased with Li Chengqian, looked at him nervously. Just now, Li Chengqian rebuffed him, making him lose face in front of the ambassadors of hundreds of countries. He was furious and wished he could kill Li Chengqian. However, because the right to use the Divine Dragon System was in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands, he had no choice but to lower his head to Li Chengqian, hoping to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s approval. It was because of this that Li Laide felt even more aggrieved. Chapter 211 - 211 The World Needs the Voice of the Divine Dragon Country 211 The World Needs the Voice of the Divine Dragon Country Li Chengqian shook his head and said regretfully, ¡°Minister Cao, I¡¯m afraid this isn¡¯t possible.¡± Minister Cao asked in bewilderment, ¡°Why?¡± When the others in the conference room heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, everyone looked at him with disappointment. Now, the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus was getting closer and closer. When the Doomsday Extortion Virus breaks out and wipes out all the data on the internet, it would be completely over. The only thing that could save their country¡¯s network was the Divine Dragon System! Only the Divine Dragon System could restore the country¡¯s network. Only the Divine Dragon System could preserve the files in the servers, computers, and mobile phones. Although there was no way to recover the data in the servers, computers, and mobile phones for the time being, as long as these data were not deleted, there was still hope that they could be recovered one day. Moreover, after the internet, computers, and other equipment went down, the countries were sent into an abyss. Communications were down, and the internet was down. All computers were down. In modern society, most work relied on computers. After the computers went down, no work could be carried out at all, everything came to a halt. Office work couldn¡¯t be done, and factories couldn¡¯t produce. The entire country came to a standstill. For large countries, a shutdown like this might have an impact, but it wasn¡¯t fatal. However, for small countries, every day that it was shut down poses a huge risk to them. If this situation persists, many countries were in danger of falling apart. Therefore, the big countries could wait for a solution to be found, but the small countries couldn¡¯t wait. Because if they carried on waiting¡­ It was very likely that the country would perish. The situation was very serious. ¡°Mr. Li, please lift the restrictions of the Divine Dragon System so that my country can recover from this disaster,¡± an ambassador begged. ¡°Mr. Li, please help us. We really have no choice. You can name any condition.¡± ¡°Mr. Li, we are strategic allies with the Divine Dragon Country. We are an all-weather partnership. Please help us.¡± There were also countries that had good relations with the Divine Dragon Country. Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Li Chengqian calmly answered Minister Cao¡¯s question. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t allow them to use it, but¡­ the Sunset Empire doesn¡¯t allow them to use it.¡± ¡°Anyone who buys and uses our Divine Dragon System will anger the Sunset Empire.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he looked at Li Laide. Cao Aiguo, in particular, looked at Li Chengqian even more kindly now. The surrounding people looked at Li Laide differently. There was a faint anger in their eyes. Many people cursed in their hearts, ¡°Damn it, he¡¯s simply a world-class shit stirrer.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all their fault!¡± Someone looked at Li Laide with hatred. ¡°Damn it, that bastard Li Laide!¡± Li Chengqian looked at Li Laide, who was becoming visibly upset. ¡°You should be Sunset Empire¡¯s ambassador, right?¡± Li Laide suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded. ¡°Mr ambassador of the Sunset Empire, was I telling the truth?¡± Li Chengqian sneered. He said all these with the aim to embarrass Li Laide. In reality, Li Chengqian recognized Li Laide when he saw him. This was because a while ago, there was an article by Li Laide on the internet. He alleged that the Divine Dragon System was stealing user data. It was also this completely baseless article that caused the Sunset Empire to suppress Divine Dragon Software. Li Laide looked coldly at Li Chengqian. This time, he didn¡¯t speak. In order to complete his country¡¯s mission and obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System, he had to endure the humiliation! He clearly knew that Li Chengqian was mocking him, but he couldn¡¯t flare up. Li Laide was fuming mad. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll let you be successful for the time being. When the Sunset Empire recovers from this Doomsday Extortion Virus, it¡¯ll be your death! I¡¯ll definitely make you regret every word you said today!¡± ¡°Mr. Li, I¡¯m Jin Tianzheng. Please lift the restrictions of the Divine Dragon System in Nanjin Country. We¡¯re not afraid of any challenges.¡± At this moment, someone stood up and said loudly. He glanced coldly at Li Laide as he spoke. Li Laide was upset as he looked back coldly. Nanjin Country was nothing in his eyes. If it weren¡¯t for the circumstances, he would definitely show Nanjin Country his true colors. ¡°Hello, Mr. Li. I¡¯m Lovelsky. We have the ability to protect our country. Please lift the installation restrictions of the Divine Dragon System for us.¡± Lovelsky was a burly middle-aged man. When he stood up, he was like a wall. He looked at Li Laide with disdain and he spoke with confidence. Li Laide became even more upset because what Lovelsky said was the truth. Indeed, he really couldn¡¯t do anything to Lovelsky. However, Li Laide was confident that other than Jin Tianzheng the bastard, and Lovelsky the rude barbarian, all the other countries present would listen to him. At this moment, the Southern Monkey Kingdom¡¯s ambassador, Zhang Daliang, stood up. He looked at Li Laide with fear in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Mr. Li, I¡¯m Zhang Daliang from the Southern Monkey Kingdom. We also request that you lift the restrictions on Southern Monkey Kingdom so that we can use the Divine Dragon System.¡± Due to network and communication malfunctions, the already very chaotic country had become even more chaotic. Warlords have weakened the government¡¯s grip on the country. Moreover, there was an increasingly chaotic trend. If the internet and communication systems were not restored, the South Monkey Kingdom might very well perish. Although speaking now would offend the ambassador of the Sunset Empire, Li Laide, However, it was better than losing the entire country. Li Laide¡¯s expression became even uglier. He was extremely furious as he looked at Zhang Daliang with rage in his eyes. ¡°After this matter is over, I must report to the President and teach the Southern Monkey Kingdom a lesson. Let the Southern Monkey Kingdom know its place as an underling of the Sunset Empire.¡± Following Zhang Tianliang¡¯s request, the ambassadors of many small countries also stood up and asked Li Chengqian to lift the restrictions on their countries, and allow them to use the Divine Dragon System. Their thoughts were the same as Zhang Tianliang¡¯s. The country was about to be destroyed. So what if they offended Li Laide and the Sunset Empire! Any outcome was better than the destruction of the country! More and more people stood up, not caring about Li Laide at all. Li Laide became more and more upset. The people used to defer to him. If he said to go east, no one would dare to go west. But now, because of the right to use Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon System, he was cast aside. This kind of humiliation was something he had never encountered before. It made him very angry. ¡°All of this was caused by Li Chengqian. After this Doomsday Extortion Virus is dealt with, it will be Li Chengqian¡¯s death! I must kill him. Kill him at all costs.¡± Minister Cao¡¯s eyes were beaming as he watched more and more people stand up and ask for the right to use the Divine Dragon System, casting the Sunset Empire¡¯s ambassador, Li Laide, aside. He looked at the time. There were only 40 minutes left until the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. He felt that it was about time, so he looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, this world is not the world of the Sunset Empire, nor is it the Sunset Empire¡¯s decision.¡± ¡°The Sunset Empire has never had the right to refuse the use of the Divine Dragon System by other countries!¡± ¡°It¡¯s illegal for them to ban other countries from using the Divine Dragon System. It¡¯s against international law. In my opinion, it¡¯s just a piece of waste paper. It¡¯s meaningless!¡± When Minister Cao spoke, his voice was loud and clear. He didn¡¯t care about Li Laide¡¯s fiery gaze at all. He wanted to use this opportunity to make clear the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s stand! He had to tell everyone else, besides Li Laide, that the Sunset Empire alone did not have the right to decide matters in this world! They had to obtain the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s approval for anything! This world needed the voice of the Divine Dragon Country! Chapter 212 - 212 Tit for Tat 1 212 Tit for Tat 1 ¡°Since Minister Cao has requested it, let¡¯s open it up.¡± Li Chengqian continued Minister Cao¡¯s words. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, joy was written on everyone¡¯s face. Even Li Laide was the same. Although he did not show it on his face, there was excitement hidden in his eyes. ¡°However, I have a few requests!¡± Li Chengqian continued. ¡°Are we going to talk about the price?¡± Most people felt that Li Chengqian would talk about money next. ¡°As long as the price is not much different from the Divine Dragon Country, we can accept it!¡± There were only 40 minutes left until the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. The threat was serious and imminent. No one considered the price factor. ¡°Mr. Li, because time is too tight, please lift the restrictions on the Divine Dragon System immediately. Money has never been a problem,¡± an ambassador couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°What I want to talk about isn¡¯t money.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and continued to speak under everyone¡¯s gaze. ¡°Firstly, in the domain name resolution service operating system provided by our Divine Dragon Software Company, the Iceman Project server of the Divine Dragon Country has been fixed as the root domain name server. This can¡¯t be changed.¡± After Li Chengqian said this with a cold expression, there was an instant uproar. Li Laide, who had already sat down, suddenly stood up. Because he was too excited, the table in front of him was pushed far away. It made a huge sound. ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you doing?¡± Li Laide¡¯s tone was extremely cold and stern. Every word was loaded. All domain name parsing servers using the Divine Dragon System point directly to the Iceman Project domain name server. This was clearly to take advantage of the virus outbreak and the fact that the Sunset Empire¡¯s domain name server could not provide services. The idea was to seize the domain name server and the most basic facilities of the internet. If Li Chengqian really carried out this plan, the entire internet would belong to the Divine Dragon Country in the future! Li Laide would never allow such a thing to happen. ¡°Li Chengqian, let me tell you!¡± ¡°The internet was invented by the Sunset Empire. The domain name server was also first born in the Sunset Empire and has been serving it until now.¡± ¡°The internet belongs to the Sunset Empire, and the domain name server is also from the Sunset Empire! It¡¯s the core interest of the Sunset Empire.¡± ¡°No one can change that!¡± ¡°In order to protect the rights and interests of the Empire, the Empire will do anything, including war!¡± Li Laide¡¯s tone was determined. He looked straight at Li Chengqian. ¡°I believe that the other countries will not agree with your Divine Dragon Country¡¯s banditry.¡± ¡°I believe that most countries will not use the unfair domain name server system provided by your company.¡± After Li Laide finished speaking, his gaze swept across everyone in a domineering manner. His eyes were cold and threatening. He wanted to tell everyone through his eyes that whoever dared to use the domain name server of the Divine Dragon Software Company would be punished by the Empire. Li Chengqian sneered, disdain hidden in the depths of his eyes. Li Laide was clearly here to beg him, and yet he still displayed such a domineering attitude. Under such circumstances, Li Laide was still threatening him and the other countries? Li Laide didn¡¯t seem to have truly understood the current situation at all. After the internet went down, because the Sunset Empire¡¯s army was a highly digitized one, it no longer had the ability to launch conventional wars. Li Chengqian met Li Laide¡¯s eyes squarely. There was no fear in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. He spoke calmly amidst the heavy atmosphere. ¡°I¡¯m here at your invitation to open up the rights to use the Divine Dragon System. For the sake of Minister Cao, I¡¯ll open up the right to use the relevant versions of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°I repeat once again, the branch domain name resolution server built by the Divine Dragon System has solidified its domain name and points to the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s Iceman Project! This will never change,¡± Li Chengqian said firmly. His tone was assertive, and he did not back down at all. ¡°As for whether you wish to use the branch domain name resolution server that was built by the Divine Dragon System, it¡¯s your call. I don¡¯t care.¡± Li Laide was very visibly upset. He stared fixedly at Li Chengqian, his eyes filled with hatred. ¡°Mr. Li, please announce the download address of the branch domain name resolution server. There are only 37 minutes left until the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak!¡± the representative of the Nanjin Country said anxiously. ¡°Mr. Li, we¡¯re not afraid of any challenges. Please announce the address,¡± Lovelsky said fearlessly. Li Chengqian nodded and projected a new MAC address on the big screen for everyone. Immediately, the ambassadors took out their phones and took photos of the MAC address on the screen. They quickly sent them back to the embassy, where the MAC address was transmitted back to the country through a special communication method. When Li Chengqian announced the download address, Li Laide¡¯s expression became even uglier. He saw that the ambassador of the North Jin Country beside him had also taken out his phone to take a photo, and his face turned black. Then, he looked around and realized that all the ambassadors were taking photos with their mobile phones and forwarding the relevant information. His expression turned even uglier, and his eyes were filled with anger. Just now, Li Laide had warned everyone not to use the domain name resolution server provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company. Now, it seemed that everyone had disregarded what he said. No one took his words seriously at all. Chapter 213 - 213 Tit for Tat 2 213 Tit for Tat 2 ¡°Ambassador Li, this is just a way to get Li Chengqian to lift the restrictions on the use of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°We need Li Chengqian to open up the access rights to the personal version of the Divine Dragon System,¡± the North Jin ambassador said softly with a fawning smile on his face. When Li Laide heard this, his expression improved a little. He gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone. He forwarded the MAC address that Li Chengqian had announced to his embassy. ¡°After Windows, Apple, and Google develop the solution for the Doomsday Ransom Virus, all the Divine Dragon Systems installed in the computers in the east will be eliminated.¡± ¡°Although we use the Divine Dragon System server, this is only temporary!¡± ¡°Although I¡¯ve recorded the download address of the Divine Dragon System server version, our Sunset Empire won¡¯t install this system. We only need the personal version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± Li Laide consoled himself in his heart and felt much better. Seeing that Li Laide had also taken out his mobile phone to record the download address, many people had mocking expressions on their faces. ¡°He was so domineering just now and said that no one was allowed to use the Divine Dragon System. But when the download address was shared, he took photos faster than others.¡± Lovelsky didn¡¯t bother to save face for him at all. ¡°Hehe, the Sunset Empire has always been like this. They have no credibility to speak of.¡± Some ambassadors from the other countries spoke bluntly. ¡°The Sunset Empire didn¡¯t allow us to use the Divine Dragon System and didn¡¯t care about our country¡¯s survival. But they are using the Divine Dragon System themselves. What a joke.¡± The ambassadors of the other countries cursed in their hearts, but they didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud. When Li Laide heard this, he was so angry that his entire body was trembling. If he had a gun in his hand, he would have jumped out and taken the lives of these two bastards. At this moment, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company will open up the right to use the personal version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± Everyone held their breaths because everyone had two goals for coming here. The first goal was to obtain the right to use the domain name resolution server system. This was the only way to restore the domestic internet. The second goal was to obtain the right to use the personal version of the Divine Dragon System. This was the only way to restore normal production and life in the country. The first goal had been achieved. Although using the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s domain name resolution server system would transfer the domain name server from the Sunset Empire to the Divine Dragon Country, this wouldn¡¯t affect them much. The only person who was upset was Ambassador Li Laide! Now, Li Chengqian had already started to talk about the second problem they needed to solve. Everyone knew that if they wanted Li Chengqian to open up the personal version of the Divine Dragon System, there were definitely conditions. As expected, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°However, there are conditions for using the personal version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System is an online operating system. It can¡¯t be used offline. It has to be connected to the internet.¡± ¡°Without the deployment of the branch domain name resolution server system, even if I lift the restrictions of the Divine Dragon System, you won¡¯t be able to use the System normally. In fact, the System will directly activate the self-destruct program, causing damage to the computer¡¯s hardware and software.¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. The meaning was obvious. If they wanted to use the personal version of the Divine Dragon System, sure! But you must first use the branch domain name parsing server system! Once the branch domain name parsing server system is used, it is equivalent to supporting the Iceman Project of the Divine Dragon Country as the world¡¯s new root domain name server. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re playing with fire. You¡¯re challenging the strongest country in the world. Think carefully about the consequences you¡¯ll face,¡± Li Laide said word by word, his face cold. If Li Chengqian¡¯s plan was carried out, the domain name server would definitely change its name to Divine Dragon in the future and have nothing to do with the Sunset Empire. This was something that the Sunset Empire couldn¡¯t tolerate! The root domain name server was too important. Whoever controlled the root domain name server was equivalent to controlling the internet. Whoever controls the domain name server is the true controller of the internet. ¡°I know very well what the consequences will be!¡± Li Chengqian said with a sneer. ¡°I¡¯ll repeat what I said just now. I¡¯ll open up the right to use the personal version of the Divine Dragon System. Whether you use it or not is up to you.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, he announced the MAC address of the personal version of the Divine Dragon System and the internet address on the big screen. Then, under Li Laide¡¯s extremely stern gaze, the ambassadors of all the countries present raised their mobile phones and recorded the address on the big screen. They then forwarded it back to the embassy, which forwarded the information to their home countries through special channels. ¡°Li Chengqian, the internet and the root domain name server are the core interests of the Empire. Have you really thought about the consequences?¡± Li Laide¡¯s voice was extremely cold, and his tone was threatening. ¡°Minister Cao, does your Divine Dragon Country really want to start a war?¡± Without waiting for Li Chengqian to answer, Li Laide looked at Minister Cao, who had been smiling. His tone was extremely serious, and threatening. Chapter 214 - 214 Tit for Tat 3 214 Tit for Tat 3 After the ambassadors of the other countries sent the message and heard Li Laide¡¯s threat of war, everyone held their breaths and looked at Li Laide and Minister Cao nervously. The ambassadors were very nervous, especially the few countries neighboring the Divine Dragon Country. They usually did not get along with the Divine Dragon Country and were especially close to the Sunset Empire. Once the two superpowers went to war, they would be the first to suffer. There were also ambassadors from some countries who were very excited. They wished that the Divine Dragon Country and the Sunset Empire would go to war. This was because the two countries were too powerful. They were unbelievably powerful both in terms of military and economy. This kind of power made the ambitious countries despair. Once the two superpowers went to war, they would definitely be the ones who would benefit in the end. Minister Cao¡¯s originally smiling face suddenly became serious and cold after Li Laide threatened him. ¡°Li Laide, you have no right to comment on what the Divine Dragon Country wants to do!¡± ¡°You are in no position to say this! You don¡¯t have the power to ask us to do anything! Do you understand?¡± ¡°Furthermore, the Divine Dragon Country has always had a tradition of not bowing to threats!¡± ¡°If you want war, we¡¯ll give you war!¡± ¡°The people of the Divine Dragon Country have never been afraid of war!¡± ¡°We are confident that we can defeat any enemy. It has been like this in the past, now, and in the future!¡± Minister Cao¡¯s words were powerful and unyielding. He stared at Li Laide with a serious expression. ¡°Li Chengqian has already made it very clear that after the Divine Dragon System is released, it can restore the internet of the other countries. It can also restore the computers of other countries.¡± ¡°Whether they use it or not, we won¡¯t interfere! It¡¯s the freedom of the other countries to decide.¡± ¡°Li Laide, you¡¯ve been interfering with other countries and asking them not to use the operating system provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company! We, the Divine Dragon Country, have always objected to this kind of malicious and violent bullying of interfering with other countries.¡± ¡°Also¡­¡± When Minister Cao said this, he looked at Li Laide, who was looking very upset, before continuing. ¡°Ambassador Li Laide, may I ask if your Sunset Empire can provide such a plan to restore the internet of the other countries?¡± ¡°Can you provide a restoration plan for the other countries¡¯ operating systems?¡± As the saying goes, don¡¯t slap someone¡¯s face in a fight, and don¡¯t disclose someone¡¯s defects in a quarrel. Minister Cao¡¯s words went straight to the crux of the issue. If you can¡¯t provide it, why are you complaining? When the ambassadors of the other countries heard Minister Cao¡¯s extremely tough speech, they were shocked by the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s tough attitude. This was probably a declaration of the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s stance. ¡°In the future, you have to be more careful when you speak internationally. Don¡¯t say anything inappropriate.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Country has already made their stance clear. I have to report this matter back to my country.¡± ¡°Is the Divine Dragon Country angry? Is the Divine Dragon Country really going to start a war? It¡¯s too scary!¡± Some countries neighboring the Divine Dragon Country got fearful because of Minister Cao¡¯s words. ¡°Minister Cao, I will remember every word you say today! And report it to the President word for word. You will bear all the consequences of this.¡± Li Laide¡¯s tone was extremely cold, and filled with anger. ¡°Suit yourself!¡± Minister Cao replied. Li Laide left the meeting room with a gloomy expression. Before he left, his gaze swept across all the ambassadors. However, no one left with him. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry. You are a citizen of the Divine Dragon Country. The Divine Dragon Software Company is also a legal enterprise of the Divine Dragon Country. Unless all the soldiers of the Divine Dragon Country have died in battle, you will definitely not suffer any harm.¡± ¡°On the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s soil, no country can hurt you! If others want to force you to do something you don¡¯t like, they have to ask if our guns agree first.¡± Minister Cao turned to look at Li Chengqian, his voice extremely solemn. ¡°Minister Cao, I believe in our country!¡± Li Chengqian also nodded solemnly. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry and do what you need to do. As long as what you do is legal, the Country is behind you. The Country will support you!¡± Minister Cao once again expressed his support for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian nodded. He was very touched. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue with the meeting! Li Chengqian, continue.¡± After Minister Cao finished speaking, he sat down. ¡°Alright!¡± Li Chengqian took over. ¡°Then, let¡¯s talk about the price.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone listened attentively. Price had always been a very sensitive topic. ¡°The personal version of the Divine Dragon System costs 100 yuan per year!¡± The personal version of the Divine Dragon System was free to use in the Divine Dragon Country, but it could not be used for free in other countries. Although the cost of 100 yuan was very low, the ambassadors of the other countries frowned because they knew that the personal version of the Divine Dragon System was free to use in the Divine Dragon Country. However, other than the Divine Dragon System, they had no other choice. Even if it was 1,000 yuan a year, they could only bite the bullet and accept it, not to mention 100 yuan. ¡°The basic cost of branch domain name resolution and IP assignment server system is 1 million yuan per year! It provides the basic lower-level IP segment assignment, a national domain name resolution service!¡± ¡°The basic cost of the provincial IP assignment server system is 100,000 yuan a year!¡± ¡°The basic cost of server systems assignment for IPs below the provincial level is 10,000 yuan a year!¡± ¡°So cheap!¡± Someone exclaimed. ¡°This price is only half of the Sunset Empire¡¯s domain name management agency.¡± ¡°You forgot something. The Sunset Empire sells hardware and software together. The price of software is twice that of the Divine Dragon System, and the price of hardware is three times higher than the market price!¡± ¡°All the products in the Divine Dragon Country have the attribute of being good and cheap. The Divine Dragon System is the same.¡± ¡°The Sunset Empire is too evil. In the past, when I bought the domain name resolution server system from them, I had to submit an application to the Sunset Empire in advance, it¡¯s not just about paying the money only.¡± ¡°As long as the Divine Dragon System is really useful, our country will only buy products from the Divine Dragon Company in the future.¡± ¡°Mr. Li, I have a question.¡± At this moment, a representative of a small country raised his hand and stood up. After getting Li Chengqian¡¯s approval, he continued, ¡°How should we pay the fees?¡± The internet was down because of the Doomsday Extortion Virus. The international interbank settlement system, which relied on the internet, was also down as a consequence. The international interbank settlement system was the foundation of cross-border trade. This foundation had been destroyed by the Virus. Li Chengqian looked at the calm Minister Cao. He believed that Minister Cao definitely had a plan to deal with it. ¡­ Chapter 215 - 215 Iceman Project 90% Completed 1 215 Iceman Project 90% Completed 1 Minister Cao had indeed done a lot of ground work before Li Chengqian came. He had also thought very clearly about the issues that the ambassadors had just raised. Therefore, when Li Chengqian looked at him, Minister Cao smiled and gestured before picking up from where Li Chengqian left off. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about payment.¡± ¡°Before the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, our Divine Dragon Country had already developed an international interbank currency settlement system,¡± Minister Cao said slowly. ¡°After the internet in your country returns to normal, you can deploy this system to settle the bill.¡± In fact, after the appearance of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the upper echelons of the Divine Dragon Country immediately conducted research and deployment. The Doomsday Extortion Virus was extremely terrifying, it destroyed the original order of the internet. Many key segments that were tightly controlled by the Sunset Empire in the past were immediately exposed. This was an opportunity for the Divine Dragon Country. The domain name server was one such segment. The international interbank settlement system was another example. In these key areas, the Divine Dragon Country had never had the chance to be involved in the past. Now, the opportunity had come! Naturally, the upper echelons of the Divine Dragon Country wouldn¡¯t let this opportunity slip. The root domain name server was the most basic facility of the entire internet, and it was the basic condition for the internet to function. The international interbank currency settlement system was also very important. It had always been tightly controlled by the Sunset Empire. For any country to trade, the final settlement would be through the international interbank settlement system. The settlement currency of the international interbank currency settlement system was the Sunset dollar! As a result, no country could truly decouple from the Sunset dollar. This was a manifestation of the hegemony of the Sunset dollar. Even if some countries hated the Sunset Empire very much, as long as they conducted international trade, they had to use their own currency to buy Sunset dollars and then use Sunset dollars to settle the bill with other countries. During this process, the Sunset Empire would benefit. Now that the internet was down, the international interbank settlement system, which used the Sunset dollar as the core settlement currency, was down too. This was an extremely good opportunity. This was the best opportunity for the Divine Dragon dollar to replace the Sunset dollar. Hearing Minister Cao¡¯s words, the envoys of many countries frowned, feeling very troubled. None of the ambassadors who could come to the Divine Dragon Country to serve as ambassadors were fools. They naturally understood the consequences of deploying the international interbank settlement system of the Divine Dragon Country. Once this system was deployed, it would definitely be regarded as an enemy by the Sunset Empire. However, if this system wasn¡¯t deployed, they wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Minister Cao, our country still has Divine Dragon dollar reserves. We plan to use this reserve to pay for the Divine Dragon System. What do you think?¡± The envoy from North Jin asked tentatively. ¡°That¡¯s your freedom. Of course you can!¡± Minister Cao nodded. ¡°Minister Cao, the Sunset dollar is an international currency. We will use the Sunset dollar to pay for the system this time.¡± After North Jin obtained Minister Cao¡¯s agreement, the envoy from Lia also asked tentatively. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we only accept payment in Divine Dragon dollars.¡± Minister Cao shook his head and turned down the envoy¡¯s request. After Minister Cao rejected Lia¡¯s proposal, many countries that were close to the Sunset Empire frowned. They were all thinking about what to do next. ¡°It seems that we can only agree to Minister Cao¡¯s request and install the international interbank settlement system of the Divine Dragon Country.¡± In the end, most countries considered accepting Minister Cao¡¯s suggestion first. ¡°I can deploy the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s international interbank settlement system first. After paying the system usage fee this time, I can let this system be idle and not use it anymore. This way, I won¡¯t offend the Sunset Empire.¡± ¡°For the time being, I¡¯ll use the international interbank settlement system provided by the Divine Dragon Country to conduct international trade. When the Sunset Empire recovers from this Doomsday Extortion Virus disaster, after the Sunset Empire¡¯s settlement system is activated, I¡¯ll convert back to the Sunset Empire¡¯s settlement system.¡± Most people had the same thought. They would not offend either side. ¡°The Sunset Empire¡¯s settlement system has already collapsed. There isn¡¯t any functional international settlement system that can be used at all. As long as the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s system is useful, why shouldn¡¯t I use it? When the Sunset Empire¡¯s settlement system is up again, we can always switch back.¡± Minister Cao¡¯ swept his eyes across everyone and looked at their expressions. He already knew what was going on. He smiled and turned to Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, I have a request. There are only 30 minutes left until the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. Time is of the essence now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late to pay the system usage fee first!¡± ¡°How about this? We don¡¯t ask for payment for the time being. We¡¯ll directly open up the right to use the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Let them complete the payment within the following day. If they don¡¯t pay within the specified time, we will restrict their use of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯ll work?¡± Minister Cao looked at Li Chengqian sincerely. ¡°No problem!¡± Li Chengqian agreed without thinking. When the ambassadors of the various countries heard Li Chengqian agree, smiles appeared on their faces. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°The generous Divine Dragon Country!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon Country, you are the heroes of the world.¡± ¡°Minister Cao, you¡¯re really a good person.¡± Chapter 216 - 216 Iceman Project 90% Completed 2 216 Iceman Project 90% Completed 2 ¡°Mr. Li, you¡¯re a good person too.¡± Amidst the cheers, the ambassadors of the various countries sent this news back. Next, Minister Cao began to discuss the international interbank settlement system with the other countries. The content of the discussion no longer had much to do with Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian found an opportunity to slip out. Academician Lin Qu also came out with Li Chengqian. ¡°Thank you, Li Chengqian!¡± Academician Lin Qu said gratefully. He even wanted to bow to Li Chengqian. All countries around the world have started to set up the deployment of the domain name resolution server system. The Academy of Sciences¡¯ Software Research Institute Iceman Project domain name server has become the only domain name server in the world. The distribution of IPs and domain names in the world was controlled by the software. With Li Chengqian¡¯s effort, the Iceman Project had already achieved more than 60% success! Next, it would depend on how long the Sunset Empire needed to resolve the Doomsday Extortion Virus. If they couldn¡¯t resolve the Virus within a month then the original domain name server still couldn¡¯t function. The Iceman Project would then be a complete success! The domain name server would be under the control of the Divine Dragon Country. The Divine Dragon Country would have seized a prized asset right from under the Sunset Empire¡¯s nose. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, you¡¯re too polite!¡± Li Chengqian hurriedly helped Academician Lin Qu up. ¡°These things are what I should do.¡± ¡°Everyone needs their country to be strong! As long as the country is strong, no one will dare to bully us when we go out to do business!¡± ¡°Only when the country is strong will the country stand up for us when we are bullied by outsiders.¡± ¡°I, the Divine Dragon Software Company, have always been bound to the country¡¯s interests.¡± ¡­ After their chat, Li Chengqian and Academician Lin Qu went straight back to the Software Research Institute. A world map was displayed on the big screen of the Software Research Institute. The coverage of the Iceman Project was shown on the map. Originally, only the Divine Dragon Country was green in color. As Li Chengqian lifted the restrictions on the use of the Divine Dragon System by other countries, more and more green areas appeared on this map. South Jin, North Jin, Eastern Sea Country, Bear Country, Elephant Country¡­ The entire world was turning green at an unbelievable speed. In just half an hour, all but a few countries had deployed the Iceman Project¡¯s domain name server. The largest country without a domain name server was the Sunset Empire! This was because they were unwilling to let the Divine Dragon Country take control of the domain name server! Ever since the Sunset Empire was established, they had always been the one to plunder others. This was the first time in history that their assets have been seized. The issue of the domain name server had already affected the strength of the country, and its economy, security, and other aspects. Unless there was really no other way, the Sunset Empire would definitely not give in. ¡°Damned easterner, you can¡¯t snatch the domain name server from us!¡± ¡°If anyone can develop an antivirus software to eliminate the Doomsday Extortion Virus, he will be the future hero of the Sunset Empire.¡± ¡°The government has already promised that they will make a government purchase for anyone who can develop an antivirus software to clear the Virus. The order will not be less than 10 billion Sunset dollars!¡± The relevant companies and personnel of the Sunset Empire threw themselves into the work. Then, they encountered a harsh truth¡­ If they wanted to develop an antivirus software to resolve the Doomsday Extortion Virus, they first needed a working computer! This alone stumped almost everyone. This was because all the computers were infected by the Doomsday Extortion Virus and were not functioning. Even if there were a few computers that were not infected, they wouldn¡¯t be able to work. This was because the Doomsday Extortion Virus was ridiculously infectious. The isolation and sandbox mechanisms in Windows, Apple, and Linux were virtually non-existent as far as the Doomsday Extortion Virus was concerned. These normal computers would immediately be infected. Currently, only the Divine Dragon System had the ability to resist the Doomsday Extortion Virus. The Sunset Empire had no choice but to capitulate for the time being. In the Congress of the Sunset Empire, everyone was expressing their opinions. ¡°Let¡¯s use the Divine Dragon System for the time being. After using the Divine Dragon System to develop an anti-virus software that can eliminate the Doomsday Extortion Virus¡­ We can abandon the Divine Dragon System!¡± Someone felt that the most important thing now was to restore the internet. ¡°We need to use the Divine Dragon System to save the data first! Data is priceless. Data is the most important.¡± Someone called out. ¡°We have to use the Divine Dragon System to restore our country¡¯s production capacity. Without the support of the operating system, all our factories can¡¯t start work. When the factories can¡¯t start work, we can¡¯t even produce a bullet.¡± ¡°We have to restore our production capacity as soon as possible. This is more important than anything else.¡± In the end, the members of Congress came to a rare consensus. The Sunset Empire decided to use the Divine Dragon System to restore the internet and the operating system. However, in terms of the cost of the Divine Dragon System, the Divine Dragon Software Company had to follow the standards of the Divine Dragon Country! The personal version had to be free! Chapter 217 - 217 Iceman Project 90% Completion 3 217 Iceman Project 90% Completion 3 The price of the server version also must not be higher than the price in the Divine Dragon Country. Because the Sunset Empire was the largest market in the world! Moreover, the Sunset Empire was the most powerful country in the world. Anyone who wanted to do business in the Sunset Empire had to abide by the priority rules of the Sunset Empire. However, what happened next stunned them. After experimenting with the relevant companies and personnel, they discovered a terrifying situation. The Divine Dragon System was still prohibited in the Sunset Empire. It could not be installed or used! When this news reached the Congress, all the members of the Congress were furious. They had always felt that the Divine Dragon System was begging them to use it. Therefore, their attitudes had always been high and mighty. However looking at the current situation, the Divine Dragon Software Company didn¡¯t seem to care about the Sunset Empire at all. After discovering that the Divine Dragon System was prohibited, an issue that they had been in denial came to the surface. They had no choice other than the Divine Dragon Software Company and the Divine Dragon System. Now, it was not the Divine Dragon Software Company that was asking the Sunset Empire to open the market. Instead, it was the Sunset Empire begging the Divine Dragon Software Company to enter the Sunset Empire¡¯s market. They were the ones begging the Divine Dragon Country! They were the ones begging the Divine Dragon Software Company! ¡°Damned easterners, are they forcing us to start a world war?¡± ¡°F*ck, tell the Divine Dragon Country to immediately open up the usage rights of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Get Ambassador Li Laide to negotiate with the Divine Dragon Country immediately! We have to obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System. If he can¡¯t do this well, then get him to scram.¡± ¡°F*ck, the Divine Dragon Country has gone too far this time!¡± While the Sunset Empire Congress was scolding the Divine Dragon Country, the phones of the Software Research Institute were ringing off the hook. Many countries were trying to make applications. ¡°Bear Country branch domain name server requesting access to the Iceman Project root domain name server. Please approve and assign an IP address segment¡­¡± ¡°The South Jin branch domain name server requests access to the Iceman Project root domain name server. Please approve and assign an IP address segment¡­¡± The Iceman Project control center was buzzing with activity. Applications from other countries for access to the Iceman Project server kept streaming in. The control center had to review and assign the IP address segments. The root domain name server designed by Li Chengqian took a drastic measure to take in all the IP addresses into the Iceman Project server. Any country that wanted to use the IP addresses had to apply to the Divine Dragon Country and it will assign the IP addresses. This way, they would completely break the rules set by the Sunset Empire in the past and establish a new set of rules. Even if the Sunset Empire¡¯s root domain name server was repaired in the future, it would be useless. That was because by the time their domain name server provided services again, the new internet rules would have already been established. They would be completely incompatible with the original rules, so there was nothing the Sunset Empire could do anymore. ¡°Academician Lin Qiu, other than the Sunset Empire, the branch domain name server has been deployed to all countries and regions in the world.¡± ¡°The Project Iceman is 90% complete!¡± ¡°We have already controlled 100% of the world¡¯s IP assignment authority !¡± ¡°We have 100% control over the world domain name!¡± ¡°From today onwards, we can proudly say that we have achieved complete autonomy, control, and security of the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s internet!¡± Wang Haohan, a researcher who had participated in the Iceman Project from the beginning, was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes! It had been 20 years since the Iceman Project was established! Twenty years of hard work and twenty years of hardships. With the help of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the Project had finally blossomed and they could now reap the fruits of victory. The Project went from being totally unknown to world famous! In an instant, the Iceman Project took control of the entire world¡¯s internet. They had devoted their entire life to the Iceman Project, working silently, with no recognition and no reward. However, from today onwards, they would be well recognized! This was because the Divine Dragon Country would not forget their contributions! They have earned their place in history and have become heroes of the Divine Dragon Country. Chapter 218 - 218 Capitulate 218 Capitulate ¡°What? You want me to beg Cao Aiguo? I have to get the right to use the Divine Dragon System?¡± Li Laide¡¯s face turned black when he read the message in the telegram. He had already lost all face in the conference just now! He no longer had the face to continue staying in the conference. That was why he walked out of the venue in anger. And now, the message in the telegram required Li Laide to obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System no matter what. If he couldn¡¯t complete this mission, his current position would be revoked. ¡°These stupid pigs, why don¡¯t they try it themselves!¡± ¡°How dare they threaten to revoke my position.¡± Li Laide was raging with so much anger that he punched the table in front of him. Then, he sat down with a dejected expression. His expression kept changing as he stood up gloomily and left helplessly. Although he was furious and very unwilling, However, the situation was beyond his control. In the current situation, he had no right or opportunity to choose. Soon, he came to Cao¡¯s office again. When Cao Aiguo saw that it was Li Laide, his smiling face instantly turned cold. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Ambassador Li? What brings you here?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted to go back and mobilize your domestic forces to crack the Doomsday Extortion Virus? Your speed is really unbelievably fast. Have you finished cracking it now?¡± Cao Aiguo said expressionlessly. Li Laide almost lost his cool. He smiled awkwardly. ¡°Minister Cao, I¡¯m here to ask you for help.¡± ¡°Please grant us access to the Divine Dragon System in the Empire.¡± ¡°Now that you¡¯ve opened up the right to use the Divine Dragon System in all countries, the only place that¡¯s restricted is the Empire.¡± ¡°Oh? Ambassador Li, didn¡¯t you just say that you will organize people to study it? You will definitely be able to defeat the Virus?¡± Cao Aiguo said coldly. In the meeting room just now, if Li Laide had agreed directly, he wouldn¡¯t have said anything. After Li Laide flew into a rage in the conference room, he won¡¯t make it so easy for him to use the Divine Dragon System. If he wanted to use the Divine Dragon System, sure! However, conditions must be offered in good faith. Li Laide was extremely embarrassed. But he was experienced after all, and thus he suppressed his anger in an instant. He knew that it would take more than words to persuade Cao now. This was within Li Laide¡¯s expectations. Moreover, the Empire¡¯s telegram to him also stated the relevant content. ¡°Minister Cao, we will cut to the chase. The conditions that the Empire can give you are¡­¡± Hearing that Li Laide finally knew the right thing to do, Cao Aiguo smiled. He had been waiting for this moment ever since Li Laide stormed out of the venue. Cao Aiguo didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with Li Laide. He handed a document that he had prepared beforehand to Li Laide. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything. Our conditions are listed in this document.¡± ¡°As long as you can fulfill the conditions in this document, I will think of a way to get the Divine Dragon Software Company to lift the ban in your country.¡± Li Laide¡¯s expression was extremely serious. His heart skipped a beat. Looking at Cao¡¯s smiling face, he felt a chill in his heart. He looked down at the document handed to him by Cao Aiguo. When he saw the densely packed conditions on the document, his expression turned extremely ugly. ¡°Minister Cao, these conditions are too much¡­¡± The veins on Li Laide¡¯s forehead bulged as he read at the conditions in the document. Every condition was an act of extortion against the Empire. ¡°Ambassador Li Laide, you are free to walk away.¡± Cao Aiguo said with a smile. Then, he looked at the time on his watch. ¡°There are still 20 minutes before the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak.¡± ¡°Perhaps the Doomsday Extortion Virus will disappear after the deadline. It might not erase the data on the computers.¡± ¡°Perhaps your country can develop an antivirus software to eliminate the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± Cao Aiguo was calm and not in a hurry at all. The veins on Li Laide¡¯s forehead bulged again. Cao Aiguo was threatening him. It was a blatant threat. If he had been his usual self, he would have turned around and left without a word. But now, he had a favor to ask! He had no choice but to capitulate. He knew that Cao Aiguo was mocking him, but he could only bear with it. ¡°Minister Cao¡­¡± Li Laide could only suppress the anger in his heart. Because time was too tight, he didn¡¯t beat around the bush. He gritted his teeth and started marking a tick for those conditions that he could accept and a cross for those conditions that he couldn¡¯t. ¡°These are the conditions that we can agree to! Please arrange for the Divine Dragon Software Company to immediately lift the restrictions and let us use the Divine Dragon System.¡± Li Laide handed the document over. Cao Aiguo took a look. Although Li Laide had only agreed to a very small portion of the conditions in the document, every term was extremely important. If it were any other time, Li Laide would definitely not relent on these issues. Now that he was coerced, he could only make concessions. ¡°What about the other conditions?¡± Cao frowned and looked at Li Laide. ¡°Minister Cao, these are all the conditions we can accept! We can¡¯t accept any other conditions.¡± ¡°If these conditions are still not good enough, I¡¯m out of here,¡± Lai Lide said with a stony face, looking intently at Aiguo Cao. ¡°Okay!¡± In fact, when he saw the conditions that Li Laide ticked, Cao Aiguo knew that this was already his limit. Continuing to pressure him would only backfire. It was best to stop while he was ahead. A minute later, the official document was printed and placed in front of Li Laide. The reporter from the national television station was all ready to take photos of Li Laide signing the document. A pen was handed to the reluctant Li Laide. ¡°Ambassador Li Laide, please sign the official document!¡± Li Laide hesitated for a moment. He was visibly upset. In the end, he signed his name on the document and said mockingly, ¡°Minister Cao, you¡¯re really well-prepared!¡± Cao Aiguo had a smile on his face. He didn¡¯t care about Li Laide¡¯s mockery at all. Li Laide had suffered such a huge loss after all, he had to give him a chance to vent. ¡°Minister Cao, I¡¯ve signed the document. Please make arrangements immediately to lift the installation restrictions of the Divine Dragon System.¡± Li Laide¡¯s tone was anxious. ¡°Alright!¡± Minister Cao asked his secretary to take the documents away for safekeeping. He smiled and called Li Chengqian. ¡°Ambassador Li Laide, the installation restrictions have been lifted! You have obtained the right to use the Divine Dragon System.¡± When Li Laide heard this, he immediately called the embassy and asked them to inform his country. ¡°I think it¡¯s about time. Why don¡¯t you stay for dinner?¡± Minister Cao said politely after Li Laide finished his call. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely do so next time!¡± After suffering such a huge loss at the hands of Minister Cao, how could Li Laide possibly eat with him? After saying this politely, Li Laide walked towards the embassy. ¡°Ambassador Li, wait a moment. I¡¯ll get someone to make a copy of the document you just signed. When the internet in your country is restored, you can send it back to your country,¡± Cao Aiguo said loudly with a smile on his face. He handed a copy of the document to Li Laide. ¡°There¡¯s something else I need to tell you first. We¡¯ll be issuing a press release on the signing of this document soon! Do you want another photo of yourself? You didn¡¯t look happy when you signed it just now.¡± Li Laide¡¯s eyes almost burst into flames. Then, he sped up and walked out. ¡°This sly old fox is simply too evil.¡± After suffering such a huge loss, how could he look good? He didn¡¯t flare up because he was in a weaker position. Moreover, when he was signing the contract just now, all the cameras were aimed at him. Would he dare to smile? If he had really smiled and the image was sent back to the Empire, he would immediately be seen as a traitor. Chapter 219 - 219 Virus Outbreak 219 Virus Outbreak Academy of Sciences, Software Research Institute. When the huge area that belonged to the Sunset Empire turned green, the entire control room erupted with excited cheering. Then, Academician Lin Qu stood up and pulled Li Chengqian to the front of the control room. His eyes were filled with tears as he picked up the microphone excitedly. ¡°Comrades, I now announce that the Iceman Project has achieved its goal!¡± ¡°The Iceman Project will replace the Sunset domain name administration as the internet¡¯s infrastructure.¡± ¡°From today onwards, we have truly achieved autonomous control of the internet!¡± ¡°Our cybersecurity will no longer be threatened!¡± Following Academician Lin Qu¡¯s speech, the audience applauded again. The applause lasted for a long time. All the researchers who had participated in the Iceman Project clapped as if they wanted to express their 20 years of anticipation, 20 years of struggle, and 20 years of obscurity through this applause. Academician Lin Qu waited for the researchers to vent for a while before raising his hand to gesture to everyone to stop clapping. ¡°My fellow comrades, although we have already won a huge victory!¡± ¡°But we haven¡¯t completely succeeded!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t be proud and stop here!¡± ¡°At the moment, we have just obtained control of the internet. What we have to do next will be even more difficult!¡± ¡°That is to guard the domain name server!¡± ¡°Only by guarding the domain name server firmly and preventing the enemy from entering can we obtain a true victory!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s expression gradually turned solemn. The Sunset Empire was caught off guard by the Doomsday Extortion Virus. In addition, because they had not used the Divine Dragon System previously, they didn¡¯t have the power to fight back the virus this time. Once the multinational corporations in the Sunset Empire had some time to find their footing, and to consolidate their wealth of resources, they would definitely be able to catch up quickly. Therefore, now was not the time to be proud, nor was it the time to celebrate. Everyone¡¯s expressions became serious again because of Academician Lin Qu¡¯s words. At this moment, Academician Lin Qu continued. ¡°It is all thanks to your 20 years of hard work that our Iceman Project has been able to achieve this stage of success! In the past 20 years, we have accumulated a lot of expertise on domain name servers and have also developed a lot of advanced technologies.¡± ¡°We have developed a most comprehensive and superior domain name and IP management system, together with the relevant software.¡± At this moment, Academician Lin Qu pointed at Li Chengqian. ¡°However, the most important reason why the Iceman Project was successful this time is because of Li Chengqian! The person who needs to be thanked the most is Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Dragon System developed by Li Chengqian that gave the Iceman Project a chance to take off.¡± ¡°Actually, Li Chengqian had many options! If he chooses to cooperate with the Sunset Empire¡¯s domain name management organization, he will definitely be able to obtain more benefits! It can even be said that as long as Li Chengqian names his terms, the Sunset Empire will definitely satisfy any of his requests.¡± ¡°However, Li Chengqian gave up on these benefits that were within his reach!¡± ¡°He chose to help us instead!¡± ¡°I propose that all of our researchers who participated in the Iceman Project stand up and bow to Mr. Li Chengqian together. Thank you!¡± Academician Lin Qu said loudly. ¡°Alright!¡± Everyone in the command center stood up and looked at Li Chengqian gratefully. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, you have overstated my contribution! Please don¡¯t do this¡­ This is what I should do.¡± Li Chengqian was very moved by what Academician Lin Qu said. This was a supreme honor. He quickly went to support Academician Lin Qu. He felt that what he did was nothing compared to the respected Academician Lin Qu. Moreover, he had his own selfish motives for doing all this. He felt inferior compared to a truly selfless scientist like Academician Lin Qu! Academician Lin Qu gently avoided Li Chengqian¡¯s outstretched hands and said with an extremely serious expression, ¡°Li Chengqian, thank you for everything you¡¯ve done for the Iceman Project. Thank you for everything you¡¯ve done for Divine Dragon Country.¡± Then, he bowed to Li Chengqian. ¡°Thank you!¡± Li Chengqian held on to Academician Lin Qu and refused to let him bow. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Li!¡± While Li Chengqian could hold back Academician Lin Qu, he couldn¡¯t hold back the other researchers in the room. Everyone thanked Li Chengqian gratefully and bowed deeply. Everyone did it sincerely throughout the entire process. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with admiration in their eyes. After Li Chengqian came to the Software Research Institute, everything he did was clear to them! Li Chengqian deserved 99% of the credit for the success of the Iceman Project. Without the support of Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon System, the Iceman Project might not have taken off outside of the Divine Dragon Country in 50 years, let alone replace the Sunset domain name management structure. And this time, with Li Chengqian¡¯s support, the Iceman Project took down the global market in 12 hours! And replaced the original domain name management organization! No one would ever have dared imagined in the past that they could obtain control of the internet. Therefore, everyone was sincerely grateful and impressed by Li Chengqian. ¡°Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone. Please everyone, please stop bowing,¡± Li Chengqian hurriedly said as he walked into the crowd to ask each one to stop bowing. ¡°Alright, everyone, please take a seat. Li Chengqian could be overwhelmed by our behavior.¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s flustered appearance and said with a smile. Only then did everyone smile and sat down. ¡°Everyone must pay a lot of attention during this period of time. We must not let down our guard. We must keep an eye on the domain name server! We must handle the domain name requests of other countries and formulate a perfect IP and domain name management method!¡± After Academician Lin Qu gave his instructions, he asked Li Chengqian very respectfully, ¡°Is there anything you wish to add?¡± Li Chengqian shook his head! Academician Lin Qu looked at the time and realized that there were only three minutes left until the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. He spoke to Li Chengqian with a relaxed expression. ¡°Come, there are a few computers here that run on Windows, Apple and Linux. Let¡¯s see if the data in these computers will be erased during the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if there will be any other problems with the computers after the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak.¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian in a strange way. On the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s internet, the Douyin platform had already been restored. However, as the original data was infected by the Doomsday Extortion Virus and couldn¡¯t be read, there were only pitifully few videos on the platform. Because everyone was keeping a close watch on the Doomsday Extortion Virus, many streamers had changed the content of their livestream to focus on what would happen to the computers after the Virus outbreak, if the Divine Dragon System wasn¡¯t installed. ¡°I have installed the Divine Dragon System on my phone! It¡¯s safe, smooth, and easy to use!¡± ¡°I have also installed the Divine Dragon System on my computer. It¡¯s safe!¡± ¡°What would happen to you after the virus outbreak?¡± ¡°What else can I do? I¡¯ll just lose all my data!¡± ¡°There¡¯s still one last minute. Brothers, pay attention and don¡¯t get lost!¡± The clock kept ticking second by second amidst everyone¡¯s comments. Soon, it was time for the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus¡­ Some people were nervously looking at their Apple phones and computers, while others were watching the live broadcast waiting to see what would happen. Others chose to turn off the power to their phones and computers to avoid this virus outbreak. In the Empire, the branch domain name server had just been successfully installed. The provincial-level domain name server was just deployed, but the city-level and county-level domain name servers had yet to be deployed. There was no time to install the personal version of the system at all. Other than a few computers, none of the other computers had the Divine Dragon System installed. Coupled with the fact that the people of the Empire were used to being free and undisciplined, they acted as if they did not hear the announcements calling for electronic products to be shut down. Just then, the Virus broke out. Chapter 220 - 220 The Unstoppable Virus 220 The Unstoppable Virus Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream had already exceeded 3 million online viewers. The cameras in the livestream were aimed at the equipment lined up in a row. Among these devices were computers installed with Windows, Apple, Linux, and the Divine Dragon System. There were also mobile phones. These were installed with Apple, Android, and the Divine Dragon System. All the equipment was turned on. Zhang Tiezhu and the audience counted down together on the livestream. ¡°Brothers, what do you think will happen to these equipment in the end?¡± After the last second passed. All the non-Divine Dragon System equipment in the livestream went black. Then, all the screens turned into classic images with white words on a blue background. A message from Cerberus the hacker appeared on these screens. ¡°I¡¯m angry!¡± ¡°I will destroy everything!¡± Below the text, there was a progress bar flashing rapidly. Below the progress bar, there was an even more arrogant statement. ¡°I¡¯m deleting the data on your computer. Mere mortals, don¡¯t attempt to resist, or you¡¯ll suffer even more.¡± In the livestream room, Zhang Tiezhu spoke. ¡°Brothers, the Doomsday Extortion Virus has already erupted!¡± ¡°He¡¯s deleting the data from our computers and phones.¡± ¡°Are we going to watch helplessly as this virus deletes all our data? Absolutely not!¡± ¡°Therefore, I have to do something!¡± ¡°When a virus is deleting our data, our usual response is to disconnect the internet cable directly!¡± Zhang Tiezhu demonstrated as he pulled out the internet cable on a computer. ¡°From the looks of it, disconnecting from the internet is useless!¡± ¡°Then I would have to use my last resort! Turn off the computer¡­¡± Zhang Tiezhu said as he pressed the power button on the computer. After pressing it for a full minute, the computer showed no signs of shutting down. Then, Zhang Tiezhu used the same method on the other computers. It was the same for all the computers. They couldn¡¯t be shut down at all. ¡°Hey, this Virus is really something. I can¡¯t shut down the computers! Let me try to see if I can turn off the phones¡­ I¡¯ve tried, and I can¡¯t turn off my phone using the normal methods!¡± Zhang Tiezhu said with a solemn look. Zhang Tiezhu pressed the power button of his mobile phone with all his might, but he just couldn¡¯t turn it off! At this moment, a large number of comments appeared in the comments section. ¡°Oh my god, this damn Virus is too aggressive! My Apple phone was originally switched off. Everyone on the internet said that turning off the phone would prevent the Virus from erupting. And we should just wait for Apple to come up with a solution.¡± ¡°When the Virus broke out just now, my phone actually turned on by itself!¡± ¡°It is currently deleting the data in my phone¡­¡± ¡°Mine too¡­¡± ¡°Mine too¡­¡± +1544823 ¡°How tragic! I just spent 10,000 yuan to buy the latest model a week ago!¡± ¡°Oh my god, my Apple computer has also automatically started up. Now, the virus is also deleting the data in my computer.¡± ¡°Brothers, when facing the Doomsday Extortion Virus, it¡¯s useless even if you turn off the phone! As long as the device is plugged in, the device will automatically activate. Then, the Doomsday Extortion Virus will play its role and delete the data in the device.¡± ¡°There¡¯s only one way to avoid it, and that¡¯s to deplete the battery!¡± ¡°As for the computer, it definitely can¡¯t be plugged in. As long as it is plugged in, it will immediately be controlled by the Virus and the data in the device will be erased.¡± ¡°This Doomsday Extortion Virus is too powerful!¡± ¡°F*ck, this hacker called Cerberus is a demon. He¡¯s so f*cking wicked. He should burn in hell!¡± ¡°Burn in hell!¡± +1545265 At this moment, in Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream, he frowned when he found that conventional methods couldn¡¯t shut the computer down. ¡°Originally, I thought that pressing the power button was the most powerful move. It can restrain all the viruses in this world. It seems that I was wrong.¡± ¡°What a powerful virus. It could disable the power button such that you couldn¡¯t turn off your phone. That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°Therefore, I want to show everyone my trump card!¡± ¡°That is, unplug the power point!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe that this computer can still operate without electricity!¡± Zhang Tiezhu immediately pulled out the power cables of the computers from the power points in front of him. Instantly, the screen that was originally blue with white words on it turned black. ¡°Everyone, look. My trump card is powerful, right? No matter how powerful the Doomsday Extortion Virus is, it¡¯s not my match.¡± Zhang Tiezhu deliberately pretended to be smug. ¡°Turn off your phone if you dare!¡± ¡°Your trump card is useless on the phones! Because there¡¯s a battery in the phone!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a computer, I only have an Apple phone¡­ Host, please save me!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re really capable, teach us how to cut off the power on our phones!¡± ¡°It feels good to unplug the power for a while. Later, at the crematorium¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the line of warning on the computer? I¡¯m deleting the data on your computer. Mere mortals, don¡¯t attempt to resist, or you¡¯ll suffer even more.¡± ¡°Do you think your computers will still be intact after you forcefully pull out the power and turn off the phone? You¡¯re too simple minded, my young friends.¡± At this moment, Zhang Tiezhu¡¯s livestream continued, ¡°Comrades, now that we¡¯ve turned off our phones, have we retained the data in our computers?¡± ¡°You can find out using a simple method!¡± Zhang Tiezhu plugged in the power source of the computer again before inserting a CD-ROM into the computer. ¡°The CD-ROM contains the PE system. It can activate the computer without reading the data on the hard disk¡­¡± Zhang Tiezhu pressed the power button! There was no reaction! Then, he continued pressing, but there was still no reaction¡­ ¡°Host, stop pressing. The motherboard is already burned! Don¡¯t ask me how I know¡­ I f*cking did it with the host just now. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m a little faster than the host¡­ After realizing that I can¡¯t turn on the computer, I opened the computer and took a look. The motherboard is already burned!¡± ¡°That¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°Host, you have to compensate me because my computer won¡¯t power up anymore.¡± ¡°Host, stop experimenting and struggling. Your computer is completely destroyed!¡± ¡°The streamer is crippled!¡± +2158863 Zhang Tiezhu tested all the computers once. All the computers were broken. In the last computer, there was a burnt smell. ¡°The experiment just now told us¡­¡± ¡°The Doomsday Extortion Virus is indeed something!¡± ¡°As an ordinary person, not only did my last move not save my data, but it also damaged my computer, it¡¯s a double whammy¡­¡± ¡°From the looks of the current situation, other than the Divine Dragon System, there¡¯s no other way to fight the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± Zhang Tiezhu concluded. Then, he saw a large number of users refreshing a question on the large screen. ¡°What about Apple phones? Asking the streamer for help!¡± ¡°Everyone, regarding the problem of Apple phones, my suggestion is to wait and see.¡± ¡°If the Divine Dragon Software Company can find time, they might release an Apple phone rescue kit.¡± The meaning was too obvious! Apple users shouldn¡¯t bear too much hope! Compared to the peace and calm in Divine Dragon Country, the Virus had caused massive disruption and panic in the other countries. It was like the flood of the apocalypse, destroying everything. Only the equipment installed with the Divine Dragon System could escape the disaster and avoid the impact of the flood. This was especially true for the Sunset Empire. Due to their wrangling with Cao Aiguo, they obtained the right to use the Divine Dragon System 30 minutes before the Virus outbreak. The engineers had just deployed the branch domain name analysis server with all their might when the Virus broke out. Chapter 221 - 221 Heavy Losses 221 Heavy Losses Windows thought they were well prepared in the face of the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. On Satia¡¯s instructions, all the computers in Windows were unplugged from the internet and turned off. Only a few computers were left to experiment with the effects of the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. Satia thought he had done the best he could. He felt that after doing this, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. ¡°After the Sunset Empire¡¯s branch domain name resolution server is deployed, I¡¯ll burn the Divine Dragon System on the system disk.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll install and replace the system.¡± At this moment, the deadline for the Doomsday Extortion Virus has arrived. At Windows, the fans in all the servers and computers that had been turned off started whirling. At the same time, the computer screens turned blue with white text on it. An extremely arrogant statement was displayed on all the computer screens. At the bottom of the text, there was also a progress bar that was quickly deleting data. ¡°Oh, f*ck!¡± ¡°Oh my God, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s the Doomsday Extortion Virus. The Virus is deleting the data on our computers and servers.¡± The Windows engineers were shocked. ¡°How is this possible!¡± Satia¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Engineers, quickly, quickly think of a way to deal with it.¡± After being stunned for a while, Satia rushed towards the computer in front of him with a terrified expression. Then, he instinctively tried to shut down the computer to prevent more data from being deleted by the Doomsday Extortion Virus. Then, he encountered the same problem as Zhang Tiezhu. He couldn¡¯t shut down the computer! ¡°F*ck, the Doomsday Extortion Virus has already taken control of the computer. We can¡¯t use normal methods to turn it off.¡± The engineers also encountered the same problem and cursed. Then, he turned off the power of the computer from the power point. ¡°Cut the power in the computer room!¡± However, there were at least 50,000 computers and servers in Windows. If they relied on the few of them to turn off the machines one by one, it would be too late. The Doomsday Extortion Virus would have deleted all the data in all the computers before they could even shut down 100 machines. ¡°President, if we cut off the power while the computer is still running, it might cause damage,¡± some engineers said worriedly. ¡°I can¡¯t care less. The most important thing is the data. As long as the data is retained, Windows will have everything.¡± Satia certainly knew the possibility of damage to the equipment. However, compared to the data in the computers and servers, the damage to the equipment was not as important. At Satia¡¯s urging, the engineers quickly turned off the power of the Windows building. The screens of all the computers turned black at the same time. The terrifying white text on blue background disappeared. The invisible but terrifying pressure also disappeared. Satia heaved a sigh of relief. Back in his office, Satia turned on the only computer that was installed with the Divine Dragon System and connected to the internet. The mac address that Ambassador Li Laide sent back to Sunset Empire was quickly entered into the browser bar. He made continuous attempts to connect to and download the Divine Dragon System from the official website of Divine Dragon Software. According to the Sunset Empire¡¯s authorities, as long as the Sunset Empire¡¯s branch domain name server was successfully deployed, any computer installed with the Divine Dragon System could visit the Divine Dragon System¡¯s official website through the mac address. Satia was visibly upset. Windows is an operating system supplier and has 95% of the world¡¯s market share. Since the founding of Windows, they have only used their own computers and operating system. And now, the world¡¯s number one operating system company was actually looking forward to using another company¡¯s operating system. This was a huge insult to Windows. ¡°After the Doomsday Extortion Virus is cleared, I will immediately replace the Divine Dragon System in the Windows.¡± ¡°We will take revenge for all the humiliation we suffered today.¡± At this moment, the internet connection was successful. On the computer in front of Satia, the official website of Divine Dragon Software Company was finally connected. Satia immediately became excited and threw away the thought that had just flashed through his mind. He quickly clicked on it and downloaded the USB drive version of the Divine Dragon System into the computer, making an installation USB drive. While he arranged for the others to continue making and installing the USB drive, he arranged for an engineer to install the system. Then, the engineer discovered something even more terrifying. He broke into cold sweat. After many experiments, he realized that none of the computers could power up. He was completely terrified. At this moment, he recalled the words displayed on the computer screen. Especially under the statement that appeared under the progress bar. His voice trembled as he spoke. ¡°President!¡± ¡°All the computers are damaged and can¡¯t be powered up.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already experimented with many computers and servers. None of them can be powered up.¡± ¡°I think our equipment has been damaged by the Doomsday Extortion Virus,¡± the engineer quickly reported. In fact, he didn¡¯t need the engineer to update him on the situation because he had already realized that something was wrong when the engineer tried to turn on the computers. Satia personally tried to turn on the computers one by one with the engineer. However, none of the computers could be turned on. ¡°Sandely, take out a hard disk. We¡¯ll connect to the Divine Dragon System computer and see if the hard disk is damaged!¡± Satia said with a pale face. His heart was very heavy because after this, there was a high chance that the data on the hard disk was gone. Not long after, the experimental data was out! All the hard drives were damaged, and all the data in the hard drives were corrupted. After hearing this news, Satia was completely stunned. ¡°F*ck! F*ck, I¡¯m going to kill you, Li Chengqian, you bastard!¡± Then, he cursed angrily. Besides Satia, Apple¡¯s Cook went through exactly the same thing. In the end, all the hardware and equipment, along with all the software data of Apple were damaged. ¡°Oh my god, what should I do?¡± Cook, who was originally high-spirited, looked desperate. This was because after the Virus outbreak, not only were all the computers damaged, but all the data had also been deleted. What¡¯s more, Apple¡¯s strongest product, the Apple phone, had turned into useless paperweights. All the data had been cleared, including the operating system in the phone! Then, the screen of the phone went black and he could no longer turn it on. ¡°It¡¯s over, Apple phone is completely finished!¡± Cook said bitterly. The mobile phone business was Apple¡¯s core business and the most profitable business. All along, Apple phones were synonymous with safety, high-end, prestige, and functionality. The Divine Dragon Software Company had developed a migration tool that could convert Android mobile phones to the Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System. Thus preventing the Doomsday Extortion Virus¡¯s invasion. But this wasn¡¯t done for Apple mobile phones. Now that the Virus had erupted, the data was wiped out. In the face of the Virus, the Apple phone was even worse than the Android phone. The brand image that Apple had built up over decades collapsed in an instant. ¡­ Chapter 222 - 222 Concede Defeat 222 Concede Defeat All the companies in the Sunset Empire were overly confident. Therefore, when they encountered the outbreak of the Doomsday extortion virus, they unanimously chose the blackout method to prevent the data in their computers from being deleted. It was precisely because of this that the computers and servers of most high-tech companies in the Sunset Empire were damaged. On the other hand, because the ordinary people of the Sunset Empire didn¡¯t have that much computer knowledge, they couldn¡¯t find a way to deal with the outbreak of the Doomsday extortion virus. Ironically, they suffered the least losses. However, the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak had wiped all the data from the computers, but the hardware wasn¡¯t damaged. Although the computers couldn¡¯t be turned on, as long as the Divine Dragon System was downloaded and installed on the computer, the computer could function normally. The Virus outbreak this time was just like its name Project Great Flood. Like a world-destroying flood, it attacked the existing order. The old order disappeared under the impact of the flood! Only those who boarded the ship in advance, those who were prepared to use the Divine Dragon System would have a chance to survive. And anyone who did not accept the new order would be reduced to ashes under the impact of this flood. The Sunset Empire was badly affected by the Doomsday Extortion Virus. As for the other organizations and countries, due to the early deployment of the branch domain name resolution server, although they had also suffered losses, the damage was not serious enough to shake the foundation of the country. Although many people were not used to using the Divine Dragon System, but¡­ In the entire world, only the Divine Dragon System could be used. They had no choice but to get used to it. Because apart from the Divine Dragon System, they had no other choice. ¡°The Divine Dragon is becoming more and more powerful¡­¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System now has a foothold in the world market!¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a dream. In just two days, the entire world has changed greatly.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company will use this opportunity to become the largest software company in the world. It will become a world-class giant that no one can shake.¡± ¡°Windows, Apple, and Linux-related companies, Android, and all the software companies that are attached to these operating systems will be greatly affected by this incident.¡± The new operating system would definitely have new and useful software. If the old software could not catch up fast enough, it would quickly be eliminated by the era. This was how things have always been. ¡°There¡¯s another extremely terrifying thing. In other countries, the Divine Dragon System doesn¡¯t support brainwave coding technology and the brainwave receiver cannot be used!¡± ¡°Oh, this damn technological blockade!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company cannot practice discrimination. We need the brainwave coding technology. We need to use the brainwave receivers. We need to use the most advanced technologies in the world.¡± ¡°Based on the current situation, we can only move our company to the Divine Dragon Country! Only in the Divine Dragon Country can we use brainwave coding technology and compete with the software companies of the Divine Dragon Country.¡± At this moment, Tianyi High School¡¯s team was already on the train back to Tianyi City. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m convinced!¡± Bi Jialiang sat opposite Li Chengqian and said sincerely. ¡°I think it¡¯s normal to lose to a genius like you! I don¡¯t find it embarrassing.¡± Bi Jialiang thought about it thoroughly. Li Chengqian and he were not in the same league. It was normal for him to lose to Li Chengqian. Even the world-class giants like Windows, Apple, Linux, and Google were unable to stand up to Li Chengqian¡¯s methods. It was simply too normal for an ordinary person like him to lose to Li Chengqian. No one would laugh at him. Bi Jialiang had always disliked Li Chengqian, partly because of Jian Qingli. After spending some time together, he realized that Jian Qingli was cold to him. He hadn¡¯t even held her hands after so long. Ever since he came to Dragon City for the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, Jian Qingli had been even colder to him. Bi Jialiang gave up. He felt better once he had decided to give up. Therefore, he let go of all his prejudices and conceded defeat outright. After conceding defeat, he felt relaxed. ¡°Bi Jialiang, actually, your programming foundation is very good. I believe that as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to achieve good results in programming.¡± Li Chengqian replied with a smile. As the saying went, one shouldn¡¯t slap a smiling person. Since Bi Jialiang had conceded defeat, he naturally wouldn¡¯t harp on it. ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. It¡¯s good that we¡¯ve cleared the air!¡± Tian Wenming said with a serious expression and a smile in his eyes. He looked at Bi Jialiang and Li Chengqian with even more satisfaction. Next to Bi Jialiang was He Hongyun. He gritted his teeth when he heard Bi Jialiang concede defeat. Because of Li Chengqian, his father had lost the data restoration service order in Jinshan Province and missed out on an annual income of 20 million yuan! The sprawling villa and the expensive car were gone. His family was in debt because of this. They had a house, but it was repossessed by the bank. The entire family could only live in a rented house now. The car that they had just bought was also taken away. Even the ordinary family car that they had for five years was auctioned off to repay his debt. The entire family suddenly fell into an extremely difficult situation. It was a far cry from their previous life. Because of these things, He Hongyun hated Li Chengqian to the core! However, Li Chengqian became stronger and stronger, and his company became larger and larger. He did not dare to express his hatred at all. Because he was afraid that once he showed such feelings, Li Chengqian would deal with him. This time, not only did Li Chengqian win the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, but he also made the Divine Dragon System the only operating system in the world that could operate normally under the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus. It established the supreme status of Divine Dragon Software Company in the operating system field. The powerful Sunset Empire also had to listen to Li Chengqian. At this moment, He Hongyun realized that he was no longer in the same league as Li Chengqian. Therefore, he hid his hatred for Li Chengqian even deeper. Jian Qingli didn¡¯t look at Li Chengqian the entire time. She kept looking out of the high-speed rail and at the scenery that kept flying past outside. When they arrived at Tianyi City, everyone else got two days off and went home to rest. Li Chengqian went straight to the Divine Dragon Software Company. Things were extremely busy at the Divine Dragon Software Company. Especially the finance and technical departments, as well as the people from the customer service department. They were so busy that they were scampering around. At every moment, large amount of funds was coming into the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s account. The astronomical amount of money shocked everyone. ¡­ Chapter 223 - 223 Hundred Billion Revenue 223 Hundred Billion Revenue After Li Chengqian returned to the company, he went straight to the studio upstairs. As Li Chengqian entered the studio, the relevant equipment in the studio automatically started operating. The door to the studio was automatically locked after Li Chengqian entered. The big screen in the studio lit up, and Bai Ze appeared on the big screen with a smile. ¡°Master, welcome home.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s emotionless voice sounded from the speaker. Li Chengqian nodded and leaned lazily on the sofa in an extremely relaxed posture. ¡°Master, Project Great Flood has been implemented.¡± ¡°The old order has been destroyed by the flood¡± ¡°A new order has been established on the ruins.¡± ¡°From now on, the Divine Dragon Software Company will be the uncrowned king in the world¡¯s internet, operating system, and software industry.¡± ¡°Next, the Doomsday Extortion Virus will become a nightmare for Windows, Apple, and Linux. As long as these software are connected to the internet, they will immediately be attacked by the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly. ¡°Sure, just follow the original plan for Project Great Flood.¡± ¡°After this, we won¡¯t give Windows, Apple, and Linux a chance to make a comeback.¡± ¡°We must make sure the Divine Dragon System occupies 100% of the operating system market.¡± After Li Chengqian gave instructions for Project Great Flood, the topic changed to the installation numbers of the Divine Dragon System and the profits. ¡°Bai Ze, update me on the installation numbers for the Divine Dragon System.¡± As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, lines of data appeared on the big screen. Domain name resolution servers: 1. Branch domain name resolution servers, 197 units! Deployed in all countries. 2. Provincial domain name resolution servers, 1,500 units. 3. Sub-provincial domain name resolution servers, 58,000 units. 1. 570 million units installed in the Divine Dragon Country. 2. 500 million units installed outside of the Divine Dragon Country. Divine Dragon System server version 30,000 units. Divine Dragon System mobile phone version 330 million units. ¡°Servers in the domain name and IP domains are all using the products of Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Project Great Flood had directly destroyed the original domain name and IP server systems. ¡°In the field of personal computers, almost all the users in the Divine Dragon Country have installed the personal version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°Outside of Divine Dragon Country, only 500 million devices are installed with the personal version of the Divine Dragon System.¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t very satisfied with this data. According to the statistics, there are about 1.6 billion computers in use worldwide . After deducting the 570 million computers in use inside the Divine Dragon Country, there should still be 1.03 billion computers. And yet, there were only 500 million units installed with the personal version of the Divine Dragon System. This wasn¡¯t even half of the total number. Li Chengqian thought of two possibilities. The first possibility was that everyone was installing the Divine Dragon System, however, the installation had yet to be completed as the computers had been damaged by the Virus. The second possibility is that many people were still waiting for Windows, Apple, Linux, and other such systems to recover. ¡°Master, the installation numbers of the personal version of the Divine Dragon System is currently increasing rapidly.¡± ¡°There are about 50,000 devices per minute installing the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°At this rate, all the remaining users will install the Divine Dragon System on the computer within the next two to three days.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s emotionless voice sounded. Li Chengqian nodded, a smile appearing on his face. ¡°Whether it¡¯s the first or the second possibility, they will install and use the Divine Dragon System in the end because they have no other choice.¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. With Bai Ze around, it was impossible for Windows, Apple and Linux to make a comeback. As long as these operating systems were connected to the internet, they would be defeated by the Doomsday Extortion Virus and mutations of this Virus. After the deployment of a branch domain name resolution server developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company in all countries, the entire internet would be under Bai Ze¡¯s surveillance. It could be said that be it Windows, Apple, or Linux, they had already lost the soil to survive. ¡°Bai Ze, tell me about the company¡¯s income.¡± Li Chengqian leaned against the sofa with an excited expression on his face. ¡°Master, we received a total of 153.677 billion yuan in revenue from Project Great Flood.¡± For the branch domain name resolution server, we received 197 million yuan in basic income and 1.1 billion yuan for other services! For the provincial domain name servers, we received 1. 5 billion yuan. For the sub-provincial domain name servers, we earned 580 million yuan. For the personal version of the Divine Dragon System, it was 100 yuan per year outside the Divine Dragon Country. The installation of 500 million devices contributed a total of 50 billion yuan in revenue. For the server version of the Divine Dragon System, the revenue was 300 million yuan. For the mobile phone version of the Divine Dragon System, because the restrictions have been lifted, it could be installed on Android phones. A total of 300 million devices took this opportunity to install the System. In this aspect, Li Chengqian obtained an income of 100 billion! ¡°One hundred billion yuan is a one-time income for installing the mobile phone system. The remaining 53.677 billion yuan is the annual fees!¡± ¡°It¡¯s estimated that another 500 million devices will be installed with the Divine Dragon System. It¡¯s estimated that we¡¯ll earn 50 billion yuan.¡± ¡°For the server systems, there are also many companies installing the Divine Dragon System. We can expect to earn another 5 billion yuan.¡± When Li Chengqian heard Bai Ze¡¯s update, he couldn¡¯t help but gasp in surprise. He did a mental calculation. If he added up the estimated income, he could obtain a total of 208.6 billion yuan from Project Great Flood. In each year to come, 100 billion yuan of revenue will be generated on a continuous basis. ¡°No wonder all the companies in the world want to monopolize a certain industry and field. This profit is simply terrifying.¡± Li Chengqian did some mental calculations in his heart. In the future, if he continued to maintain and improve the Divine Dragon System and leave it to Bai Ze to manage it, the annual fee would be at least 100 million yuan. In other words, for the operating systems alone, Li Chengqian could at least obtain a net profit of 100 billion yuan. If Li Chengqian was a little more mercenary, he could raise the price of the operating system, and his revenue would be 200 billion yuan! The 100 billion yuan profit had a huge impact on Li Chengqian. He finally calmed himself down with the help of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills. ¡°I have to keep a tight grip on the internet and the operating system industry¡­ Otherwise, this 100 billion yuan annual income will only be a pipe dream.¡± ¡°Furthermore, I have to have the power to protect my own interests!¡± Li Chengqian was deep in thought. ¡°Windows and the other companies will definitely not let the matter rest after suffering such a huge loss! They will definitely think of ways to take revenge.¡± Li Chengqian took a glance at his Stamina Points which exceeded 10,000. He was full of confidence. These Stamina Points could guarantee Li Chengqian¡¯s absolute safety. However, it could only ensure Li Chengqian¡¯s personal safety. ¡°The current development of the Divine Dragon Software Company is unhealthy!¡± The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s software had indeed become number one in the world. But there was a problem¡­ All the software was running on hardware! If the Divine Dragon System was banned from at hardware level, Li Chengqian would not be able to break through. Currently, the biggest problem in Divine Dragon Country territory is the production of chips. ¡°Now that I have the money, the next step is to develop the hardware. The production of the photolithography machine can be put on the agenda.¡± The chip problem he faced earlier was still fresh in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Chapter 224 - 224 Undercurrent 224 Undercurrent Three days later, at Windows. The new President, Rafe, stood in the conference room with a serious expression. Satia had already been fired by the board of directors. Moreover, the board of directors of Windows had already filed a lawsuit against Satia, asking him to take responsibility for the situation that Windows was currently facing. The lawyer¡¯s opinion was that Satia would face about 400 years in prison. At this moment, on the big screen in the conference room in front of Rafe was a functioning Windows interface. ¡°Mr President, the Doomsday Extortion Virus is very powerful. It can modify the system files of the Windows system, causing it to be unable to function normally.¡± ¡°After the Doomsday Extortion Virus broke out, we thought of a solution¡­¡± ¡°If our operating system is solidified and uneditable, the Doomsday Extortion Virus won¡¯t be able to do anything to our operating system.¡± The engineer Susan spoke confidently. She came up with this method after research. The proposal is to write the system directly into the Read-Only Memory. This was because the data in ROM could not be changed. This would prevent the Doomsday Extortion Virus from altering the system. This way, it would form an immunity to the Doomsday Extortion Virus, rendering it harmless. ¡°Well done! Susan!¡± A smile appeared on Rafe¡¯s stony face, and he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°As long as this problem is resolved, I¡¯ll promote you to be the Chief Technical Officer of Windows. You will become part of the company¡¯s senior management.¡± Rafe hoped to inspire her to work harder by making such big promises to her. In fact, he had felt insecure in his new position as the President of Windows. This was because he knew that if he couldn¡¯t resolve the current crisis that Windows was facing, he might very well face the same fate as Satia. The old folks on the board of directors would definitely send him to prison. And now, what Susan had done had given him hope. ¡°President, although Windows can be run through ROM, there are a few very major issues.¡± Susan frowned. ¡°The first issue is how to persuade users to buy ROMs to install on the computer! The price of a ROM is about 300 yuan.¡± Users of the Divine Dragon System don¡¯t have to do anything. However, Windows users would have to buy a new ROM to install on the computer. This isn¡¯t cheap! Rafe¡¯s brow furrowed on hearing Susan¡¯s words. The users had to pay else the Divine Dragon System would be automatically deactivated. Then, all the data would be deleted. Most people had no choice but to pay. After starting to use the Divine Dragon System, everyone was stunned by its functionality and ease of use. A large number of comments appeared on the internet. The netizens of Sunset Empire had become supporters of the Divine Dragon System. They were heaping praises on the Divine Dragon System while disparaging Windows, Apple, and Linux. ¡°Compared to the Divine Dragon System, Windows is a pile of shit!¡± ¡°Compared to the Divine Dragon System, Apple is like an ugly duckling.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System is so convenient. There are many useful free software in the app store¡­ The only drawback is that most of the software is in Chinese¡­ It¡¯s very inconvenient to use.¡± ¡°Windows kept forcing me to upgrade my computer else I won¡¯t be able to use their latest system¡­ Even if I use the old version it becomes very laggy. Heh! After installing the Divine Dragon System, it¡¯s so easy to use¡­ I think this good old thing can be used for more than ten years.¡± It was also these comments and posts on the internet that made Windows feel immense pressure. ¡°President, the second issue is that we can¡¯t edit and update the system installed on ROM. As such, it will be very troublesome to upgrade the system in the future.¡± Susan described the second issue. ¡°This is not a problem for us now. Please go on!¡± It would be considered a major success as long as they could get Windows up and running. He didn¡¯t dare dream of a perfect solution. ¡°The third issue is that because the system is installed on ROM, it will not lag even after a long period of use. After a user buys our system, it can be used forever as long as the ROM isn¡¯t damaged. This is disadvantageous to our company.¡± Susan had worked for Windows for many years. She was very clear about Windows¡¯ philosophy. Their philosophy was to keep giving users more advanced operating system products. Every upgrade of the operating system represented huge revenue to Windows. This was because users had to pay to use the new system. Could users choose not to upgrade the system? No, because if the users didn¡¯t upgrade the system, the computer would soon be infected with a virus, and it would become slower and slower. If such an operating system that would not lag and was virus-proof was popularized, Windows¡¯ income would be reduced by at least 80%. This was an extremely terrifying number! ¡°The issue we are facing now isn¡¯t profitability, but survival!¡± ¡°So this issue is not a problem for the time being!¡± Rafe was exceptionally clear about the situation that Windows was facing. ¡°Go on, Susan, get on with your research! I think you¡¯ll be promoted soon.¡± Rafe¡¯s stony face broke into a kind smile. After Susan turned around, the kind smile on Rafe¡¯s face disappeared. His face turned solemn. ¡°Installing the Windows system on ROM isn¡¯t a long-term solution! It can only be used as a temporary measure.¡± ¡°Now, the most important thing is to develop an antivirus software that can destroy the Doomsday Extortion Virus.¡± Unfortunately, the Internet Security Department hadn¡¯t made any progress. At this moment, the landline that had always been a white elephant on the desk rang. Ever since the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, other than in the Divine Dragon Country, the phones in all the other countries had become useless scrap metal. A rough voice came through the phone. The voice was strong and powerful. It was obvious who it was. ¡°Rafe, how is it? Is there any progress on the restoration of the Windows system and the antivirus?¡± ¡°Also, life without a phone sucks! It¡¯s too inconvenient!¡± ¡°Damn Divine Dragon Software Company, they should go to hell!¡± ¡°They developed the Doomsday Extortion Virus and destroyed the current world order.¡± ¡°They developed the Virus to destroy the original order, and at the same time hypocritically promoted their own operating system to milk the world dry.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is a terrorist, he must die! One day, I will send him to the gallows and let him die a painful death.¡± After a round of cursing and swearing, he came back to the original topic. ¡°By the way, how¡¯s the restoration of the Windows system?¡± Rafe¡¯s tone was very respectful. ¡°Sir, the Windows system is operational, but there¡¯s a small problem¡­¡± Not daring to hide anything, Rafe told him all the advantages and disadvantages of installing the operating system on ROM. ¡°Well done, Rafe! As long as Windows can be used, we can implement our strategy without worry.¡± An excited voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°By the way, can the ROM method be used on mobile phones? I need a phone. It¡¯s too inconvenient to use a landline.¡± Right on the heels of that, the Assistant asked eagerly. In the entire world, except for the Divine Dragon Country, all the phones in the other places had been wiped clean by the virus. No one was spared. ¡°Sir, it can be done!¡± ¡°Very well! Arrange for the factory to start producing phones in this way immediately. We¡¯ll support you.¡± ¡°Make the arrangements immediately. Do it quietly. Find an OEM factory to produce ROMs at full capacity. Then install the Windows system. We need at least 500 million units of ROM with Windows installed.¡± ¡°I give you two months!¡± ¡°We have to prepare what we need. This is a national strategy!¡± The Assistant¡¯s voice carried a certain coldness that made people shudder in fear. ¡°First, provide us with one million units of ROM that has Windows installed. We need to ensure absolute internal security first. We must not leak any information.¡± Right on the heels of that, the Assistant continued to make arrangements. The Divine Dragon System was an internet system, and it was a company that belonged to the Divine Dragon Country. The military must not use it. Once it was used, it would be uncertain as to who would control the equipment in the army! Because they had used Windows in the past, they would naturally chose Windows this time. ¡°Mr. Assistant, don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll definitely be prepared!¡± Rafe instantly thought of some possibilities and his spirits lifted. Although the Assistant didn¡¯t say it directly, he could guess a lot. After suffering a huge loss at the hands of the Divine Dragon Software Company, The Sunset Empire was infuriated and it was scheming to fight back. After all, the internet was the core. This time, with the help of the Virus, the internet was seized from under their nose by Divine Dragon. No one could stand such a thing! Rafe knew that the Sunset Empire was already plotting revenge. Once it was ready, it would deliver a deadly strike in one fell swoop. Not long after Rafe received the call from the Assistant, Apple, Google, Linux, Intel, Qualcomm, ARM, Five Star Company¡­ Almost all the well known high-tech companies, as well as some lesser known companies that dealt with operating systems, chip design and production also received the call. Then, according to the arrangements, the various companies quietly began their work and quietly waited for the order to arrive. All the chip factories temporarily put aside the production of other products and focused on producing ROMs. Intel, Qualcomm, and ARM quietly began to amend their instruction set architecture and driver of their products. After the modifications were completed, they just have to push out the updates¡­ Even after the Divine Dragon System has been installed, be it phones or computers, there would still be situations where they could not be activated. Because the Divine Dragon System would be banned at the hardware level. This time, the Sunset Empire was prepared to destroy the Divine Dragon Company in one fell swoop! Chapter 225 - 225 Medal for Courage 225 Medal for Courage Tianyi High School was buzzing as many people came. The winner of the Medal for Courage had been named. Moreover, it was personally sent to Tianyi City by Director Guo of the Provincial Bureau. Director Guo asked Chief Zhao to contact Tianyi High School and hold the award ceremony at Tianyi High School. Principal Wang Lingbo didn¡¯t stop smiling from the moment he received the notice. He was overjoyed even though he was very busy as a result. Tianyi City attached great importance to the event as Director Guo was personally attending. It thus arranged for many people in charge of various units to attend. The people from the Education Department also came. The principals of the various schools in Tianyi City were also present. Wang Lingbo paced around the school anxiously, his eyes constantly looking at the intersection. ¡°This is so nerve wracking! Why isn¡¯t Li Chengqian here yet!¡± He looked at the time. The commendation ceremony was starting in 15 minutes. The stage was already filled with people. Below the stage, many heads of departments sat obediently. Wang Lingbo was very anxious and kept pacing around the school gate. He was tempted to call Li Chengqian. He took out his phone several times, but hesitated and dropped the idea. This was because Li Chengqian was of a high status. Especially after the Divine Dragon Software System was found to be immune to the Doomsday Extortion Virus, and thus dominated the global market, Li Chengqian effectively became the de facto leader in Divine Dragon country¡¯s software technology. In addition, a few days ago, someone exposed on the internet that the Divine Dragon System had obtained nearly 200 billion yuan in revenue during the Doomsday Extortion Virus outbreak. No one dared to treat Li Chengqian as an ordinary student anymore. Although Wang Lingbo was the Principal of Tianyi High School, he had a subconscious sense of reverence towards Li Chengqian. It was as if he was meeting a big shot, someone he could never measure up to. Just then, an ordinary looking car pulled up at the school gate. After Li Chengqian got out of the car, Wang Lingbo welcomed him with a beaming face. ¡°Li Chengqian, quick, we¡¯re just waiting for you, our hero of the day! Director Guo and the others, as well as the heads of Tianyi City, the people in charge of various government departments have long arrived.¡± ¡°Principal Wang, there¡¯s no hurry. The meeting will only start in ten minutes.¡± Li Chengqian looked at the time and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s just walk faster!¡± Seeing that Principal Wang was so anxious but didn¡¯t dare to show it on his face, Li Chengqian shook his head and quickly walked into the school. ¡°President Li, come and take a seat here.¡± Director Guo deliberately vacated a seat beside him. When he saw Li Chengqian arrive, a smile appeared on his serious face. Li Chengqian looked around and realized that Director Guo¡¯s position was in the middle. To the left of Director Guo¡¯s position was the highest ranking official in Tianyi City. His seat was on the right side of Director Guo. This position was even closer to Director Guo than Chief Zhao. Li Chengqian felt that it was a little inappropriate and wanted to decline. Director Guo seemed to have read his mind. ¡°President Li, come over quickly. You¡¯re our star of the day. If you don¡¯t sit in the middle, who will?¡± As Director Guo spoke, the people around him all had friendly smiles on their faces. ¡°Thank you, leaders!¡± What else could Li Chengqian do? He could only brace himself and walk to Director Guo¡¯s side. When Li Chengqian took his seat, the students below the stage were all envious. They said softly, ¡°I¡¯m willing to give an arm and a leg just for an opportunity to have that seat up there.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is awesome. In Director Guo¡¯s eyes, Li Chengqian is more important than everyone here today.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s software technology is number one in the world. Of course he¡¯s important! If I could even learn one percent of his technology, I won¡¯t ever have to worry about money for the rest of my life,¡± a classmate said enviously. ¡°I heard that this time, the Divine Dragon Software Company made 200 billion yuan in revenue on the operating system! This amount of 200 billion yuan is equivalent to four years of Tianyi City¡¯s revenue! How can a cash cow like him not be important?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be happy with a million yuan!¡± ¡°Two hundred billion yuan. I won¡¯t be able to earn that much money even in a hundred lifetimes.¡± The boys looked at Li Chengqian with envy. ¡°I wonder if Li Chengqian will accept a lackey¡­ I¡¯m willing to be his lackey for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re thinking too much. People like us won¡¯t even qualify to be Li Chengqian¡¯s lackey, okay?¡± Someone shook his head. With Li Chengqian¡¯s current income and status, he might not even be bothered with mere mortals like us. Many girls looked at Li Chengqian with anticipation and fantasy. ¡°If only Li Chengqian would take a fancy to me.¡± ¡°I really wish I can catch Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes in the next second. I hope he will find me familiar. It¡¯ll be great if he can remember me.¡± The girls in this grade were of the age that tended to fantasize. Many of them fantasized that they could interact with Li Chengqian and then have some unforgettable interactions with him. The students of Grade 12 Class 5 were also sitting below the stage. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with envy. ¡°If I had known that Li Chengqian was so formidable, I would have built a good relationship with him.¡± Many people were regretful. If they could become good friends with Li Chengqian, they would basically be assured of a cushy life. They would never ever have to worry about money. ¡°If I had known that Li Chengqian was so formidable, I would have pursued him and treated him kindly and gently. I would have made him fall in love with me and not leave me for the rest of his life.¡± Many girls in Grade 12 Class 5 couldn¡¯t help but feel bitter in their hearts. To be honest, they had never paid attention to Li Chengqian in the past. Now, they were very regretful. As long as one had any relationship with Li Chengqian, he would definitely not have to worry about money in this lifetime. Jian Qingli sat quietly in the crowd with pride on her face. The smile on her face became wider especially after hearing all the comments around her. ¡°Although I¡¯m only¡­ his secret lover, at least I have some relationship with him.¡± On the other hand, Ding Ling was smiling and looking at Li Chengqian on the stage. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m proud of you.¡± Other than the students from the school, there were also teachers from other schools and people from other departments sitting below. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with envy in their eyes. ¡°Li Chengqian is only 18 years old, but he has already made so much money!¡± ¡°If only I were Li Chengqian, I wouldn¡¯t ever work again!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is so outstanding. If only he could take a fancy to my daughter. We won¡¯t have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives.¡± The award ceremony began under everyone¡¯s watchful gaze. ¡°A while ago, something happened¡­¡± Director Guo started by talking about the situation. With his eloquence, it didn¡¯t take long for him to explain the situation clearly. ¡°In order to commend the achievement, we hereby present Li Chengqian with the Provincial Medal of Courage!¡± ¡°Besides Li Chengqian, two other students were also involved. They are Ding Ling and Jian Qingli.¡± ¡°Although these two students are girls, they didn¡¯t panic in the face of danger. They also played a huge role in this incident. Student Li Chengqian has asked me many times to give these two female students the awards.¡± ¡°After much deliberation, we¡¯ve decided to give Ding Ling and Jian Qingli a City Medal. With this award, they would be able to add ten points to their university entrance examination.¡± Chapter 226 - 226 Brilliance and Assassin 226 Brilliance and Assassin Everyone in the hall heard Director Guo¡¯s words. The entire hall was in an uproar. ¡°Ding Ling and Jian Qingli are in luck!¡± ¡°Ding Ling and Jian Qingli¡¯s greatest luck is that they were neighbors with Li Chengqian. If Li Chengqian and I were neighbors, I might be the one to win the medal this time,¡± many people said sourly. ¡°It¡¯s a waste to give this award to Ding Ling. She doesn¡¯t need it at all. She should give it to me.¡± Ding Ling and Zhao Peng were in Li Chengqian¡¯s team for the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. They had won the championship and thus had already obtained direct admission to Divine Dragon University. The award given to Ding Ling would add 10 points to the university entrance examination. It was very useful. However, Ding Ling didn¡¯t need these 10 points at all. ¡°Jealousy is eating me up alive!¡± ¡°If only my neighbor was Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°If only my boyfriend was Li Chengqian.¡± Below the stage, Ding Ling and Jian Qingli smiled in surprise when they heard Director Guo mention their names. Especially Jian Qingli. When she heard her name, she was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. While 10 points was useless to Ding Ling, it was very useful to her. With these 10 points, although she couldn¡¯t get into Divine Dragon University, which was the best university, she could get into other universities in Dragon City. She knew that Li Chengqian would definitely study in Dragon City, so she had to go to Dragon City too. She was afraid that if she didn¡¯t tag along, Li Chengqian would soon forget her. Moreover, through Director Guo¡¯s words just now, she also got another message. It was Li Chengqian who actively fought for her and Ding Ling to receive this award. This meant that she had a place in Li Chengqian¡¯s heart. To her, this was the greatest affirmation. ¡°Would Ding Ling and Jian Qingli please come on stage to receive the award,¡± Director Guo said with a smile. ¡°Ding Ling, go and receive the award.¡± ¡°Jian Qingli, go up quickly. The leaders are waiting for you on the stage.¡± Under the envious gazes of the students, Ding Ling and Jian Qingli stood up. Under the guidance of the teacher, they walked up to the stage excitedly. When he saw the two of them walking up, he smiled and waved at them to come to his side. ¡°Thank you for your contribution to Tianyi City!¡± ¡°However, I hope that you won¡¯t put yourself in danger in the future¡­ Because your brains and knowledge are more important than anything else. Your existence is very important to the country.¡± Director Guo handed the medal and certificate to Li Chengqian solemnly. ¡°Director Guo, thank you!¡± Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, not saying anything else. Beside Li Chengqian, the highest ranking official of Tianyi City, Shu Wen, presented Ding Ling with the award. ¡°Women are not inferior to men. You¡¯re a brave and outstanding child. I heard that you¡¯ve already obtained the admission notice to Divine Dragon University. Congratulations. I hope you can achieve greater things in the future.¡± Ding Ling was very embarrassed by Shu Wen¡¯s praise. She had never been praised like this before, especially when it came from Shu Wen, it felt especially meaningful. Everyone who knew Ding Ling looked at her enviously. On the other side, Chief Zhao presented the award to Jian Qingli. ¡°Jian Qingli, congratulations! You¡¯re very outstanding! You¡¯re also very brave. I hope you will stay brave, strong and fearless.¡± After Li Chengqian and the other two received the medal, they turned to face everyone below the stage. Under the sunlight, the three of them looked extremely dazzling. Especially Li Chengqian. Between Ding Ling and Jian Qingli, he had a confident smile on his face. He looked confident and handsome, and he was extraordinarily attractive. ¡°If only it was me on stage!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious I can die!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is so handsome. If only he would take a fancy to me.¡± ¡°Did you guys notice? Li Chengqian looks ordinary at first glance, but when you look carefully, the more you look at him, the more attractive he becomes.¡± ¡°What a waste! Li Chengqian and Ding Ling have already been specially recruited by Divine Dragon University. They don¡¯t need to take the university entrance examination at all, nor do they need any marks. This award is wasted on them! What a pity!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is already so wealthy. He¡¯s already completely financially independent! This award is useless to him. This award would be very useful to me.¡± Many students stared at Li Chengqian¡¯s Medal of Courage with envy. Everyone looked at the three of them enviously, wishing they could rush up and replace them. ¡°Alright, the award ceremony is over. Please return to your seats.¡± Ding Ling and Jian Qingli took the medals and left the stage. They took their seats under everyone¡¯s envious gaze. On stage, Li Chengqian also returned to his seat. ¡°Director Guo, please deliver your speech¡­¡± The host turned to Director Guo. ¡­ Meanwhile, a beautiful woman appeared at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company with a disheveled expression. Zhang Tianling looked at the logo of the Divine Dragon Software Company and gritted her teeth. ¡°Li Chengqian, you bastard! You devil, a fellow with a heart as black as ink.¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes were filled with grievance, helplessness, and intense hatred. She stole the fake brainwave coding technology from the Divine Dragon Software Company and sold it to Windows, Apple, and Google. The three companies¡¯ hidden servers were found and controlled by Li Chengqian. The three companies were in deep trouble because of this. All the data in the servers of the three companies were wiped out and all the assets of the companies were transferred out. This caused hundreds of billions of losses to the three companies. Because of this incident, the three companies hated Zhang Tianling to the core. They immediately put her on the wanted list on the dark web. They wanted to capture her and kill her to vent their anger. Originally, Zhang Tianling was still fantasizing that after receiving the commission, she would retire from being a commercial spy. In the future, she would live like a normal person. She would find a partner and travel to all the beautiful places in the world. However, the data of the three companies was wiped out and their assets were transferred out. Zhang Tianling¡¯s bank account was frozen. If not for the warning message that suddenly appeared on her phone, she might have been killed by Satia already. Actually, Zhang Tianling knew that the person who reminded her was Li Chengqian! Therefore, she sent a distress message. However, she didn¡¯t receive any response. Zhang Tianling had no choice but to go into hiding and lie low, but for some reason, her whereabouts was leaked. As such, Zhang Tianling began her life as a fugitive. She went from Sunset Empire to the West Province, but she had only landed for an hour when assassins came hot on her heels. She then went to the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Eastern Continent! However, no matter where she ran, the assassins would quickly be right behind her, trying to capture her. During this period of time, Zhang Tianling had been hiding everywhere and almost lost her life many times. In the end, she chose to come to the Divine Dragon Country! However, even when she reached the Divine Dragon Country, the assassins from the Hydra group, a team of mercenaries that had been relentlessly pursuing her, had also entered the Divine Dragon Country. The Hydra assassins were horrendously good at tracking her down. She had switched to many different vehicles and hadn¡¯t slept for days and nights, and yet she still hadn¡¯t managed to shake the Hydra assassins off. As Zhang Tianling was standing at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company, there was a stony faced, odious and stealthy man nearby who was quietly closing in on her. ¡°As expected, the people from the three companies guessed correctly. You¡¯re indeed with Divine Dragon Software!¡± A cold glint flashed across the skilled man¡¯s eyes. His expression was cold and menacing. As he spoke, he pointed a stick of cigarette in Zhang Tianling¡¯s direction and pressed it gently. A needle as thin as a strand of hair flew out of the cigarette and pierced into Zhang Tianling¡¯s body. When Zhang Tianling heard the man¡¯s voice behind her, she jumped like a frightened rabbit and ran forward into the Divine Dragon Software Company building. Then, she felt a slight pain in her back. A numb and warm sensation spread from the spot. In less than a second, this feeling spread throughout her body. The strength in Zhang Tianling¡¯s body was instantly sucked out. The world started spinning, and her vision became blurry. Zhang Tianling lost consciousness with deep despair. The stealthy man walked over skillfully and supported Zhang Tianling. His eyes were filled with extreme smugness and¡­ a look that all men understood. ¡°She¡¯s indeed exquisite¡­ I¡¯ll have to work hard tonight!¡± The man held Zhang Tianling as if they were an intimate couple as he walked towards the roadside. A car was already waiting by the roadside. The driver was also a Hydra member. His skin was dark, and his eyes were burning as he looked at Zhang Tianling, who was being supported by the stealthy man. ¡°We are going to have a wonderful night.¡± Just then, an ordinary looking car pulled up by the roadside. After the car door opened, a tired looking Li Chengqian got out of the car. The award ceremony lasted for a full three hours! Time crawled during these three hours. This was the reason why he didn¡¯t want to participate in the award ceremony in the first place. After the award ceremony ended, Director Guo dragged Li Chengqian along to talk to him and to introduce him to many people. He left in the morning and it was already 11pm by the time he arrived at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company. After Li Chengqian got out of the car, he saw the stealthy man supporting Zhang Tianling as they walked past¡­ Upon seeing Li Chengqian, the man¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, but he was nervous in his heart. He was too familiar with Li Chengqian¡¯s face. It was all over the dark web. An anonymous user offered a bounty of one billion yuan on Li Chengqian¡¯s head. When the Hydra member in the car saw Li Chengqian, he immediately recognized him. His expression didn¡¯t change. His right hand, which was originally on the steering wheel, touched his crotch. His eyes seemed to be looking around, but his peripheral vision was fixed in the direction of Li Chengqian. He kept gesturing with his left hand, he looked like he was dancing to the music in the car, but in fact, he was sending a message to the stealthy man. ¡°What shall we do? Shall we kill this yellow monkey?¡± Chapter 227 - 227 Shock 227 Shock ¡°Boss, the idiots from Hydra are about to make a move!¡± In a house on the same street as the Divine Dragon Software Company, Shah, a member of the mercenary group Alien, was observing the situation through a special telescope. After seeing the driver¡¯s gesture to the stealthy man at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company, the young Shah whistled. Beside him was Corgi, the ace assassin of Alien. Corgi had a warm and gentle smile on his face. He seemed kind and gentle. Corgi didn¡¯t look like an assassin at all. At this moment, the sniper rifle in Corgi¡¯s hand was pointed in the direction of the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company. On his gentle face, his eyes emitted a terrifying cold light. Through the scope of the sniper rifle, he observed Li Chengqian¡¯s movements. ¡°Shah, get ready to leave!¡± Corgi¡¯s voice was hoarse. In fact, Corgi and Shah had already been there for a while. They only had one mission, and that was to kill Li Chengqian. When they first arrived, they felt that the mission was very simple, especially when they saw Li Chengqian coming to work at the Divine Dragon Software Company every day without any security measures. At that time, they felt that they could quickly complete the mission and go back to collect the bounty. When they were about to make a move, they discovered something else. Around the Divine Dragon Software Company, there were many people who were disguised as people from all walks of life, but they had in fact undergone strict military training. Every member of the security department of Divine Dragon Software Company was an elite soldier. They were more highly skilled than regular soldiers. The waiters in the breakfast shops nearby, the owner of the bakery, and the owner of the new teahouse looked like healthy and strong ordinary people. Their eyes would occasionally reveal a fierce glint. Five days ago, Corgi and Shah witnessed a scene. An unfamiliar face appeared around the Divine Dragon Software Company. He was making queries about the situation at the Divine Dragon Software Company. Trained personnel could tell that something was fishy. Ten minutes later, the unfamiliar face was taken away, and he was never seen again. Such things happen every day. Every time it happened, it would make Corgi and Shah extremely concerned. ¡°Boss, are we going to make a move?¡± Hearing Corgi ask him to get ready to leave, Shah became even more excited. The bounty on Li Chengqian¡¯s head had already reached 1 billion yuan on the dark web. As long as he completed this mission, he wouldn¡¯t have to do any more missions for the rest of his life. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you would be dead before you could even spend the money!¡± Corgi said with a cold smile. Because of the soldiers around the Divine Dragon Software Company, the two of them didn¡¯t dare to go out for the past few days. They were afraid that they would be taken away like the others. ¡°What I mean is, let¡¯s leave immediately while the Hydra idiots are taking action and everyone¡¯s attention is on them.¡± Corgi touched the sniper rifle reluctantly, then decisively put it down and picked up a pair of binoculars to observe further. Therefore, he could only give up. ¡°A billion might be tempting, but my life is more important,¡± Corgi continued. He then started packing. ¡°Boss, with your marksmanship, we can actually give it a try,¡± Shah said reluctantly. ¡°Moreover, with Hydra¡¯s people charging in front of us, everyone¡¯s attention will be on them, we can fire at Li Chengqian and leave immediately. No one will notice us.¡± Shah analyzed the situation excitedly. He felt that the situation was very advantageous to them and they should give it a try. It was 1 billion yuan after all! He wouldn¡¯t be able to make so much money on his usual missions. In fact, he won¡¯t make this much money even in a few lifetimes. Corgi gave Shah a cold look. ¡°Money is only useful if you¡¯re alive. If you¡¯re dead, it doesn¡¯t matter how much money you have.¡± ¡°Come with me if you don¡¯t want to die!¡± Corgi packed up quickly and walked out decisively. Shah gritted his teeth. Impulsiveness and insatiable greed flashed in his eyes. ¡°Boss, I want to give it a try!¡± This time, Corgi didn¡¯t persuade him anymore. He simply left. After the Corgi left, Shah excitedly and nervously picked up the sniper rifle he left behind. He had murder and greed in his eyes as he aimed at Li Chengqian through the scope. At the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company, as Li Chengqian got out of the car, he took a brief glance. However, he had already discovered that the person the man was supporting was Zhang Tianling. ¡°Bai Ze, what¡¯s going on with Zhang Tianling?¡± Li Chengqian was wearing a smartwatch on his wrist. He raised his hand and asked softly. Bai Ze¡¯s voice came through the bone conduction earpiece. ¡°This man is Falcon, a Hydra assassin. He accepted the mission to hunt down Zhang Tianling.¡± ¡°Zhang Tianling just arrived at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Falcon shot her with a tranquilizer!¡± ¡°Master, please pay attention. His accomplice, the assassin Charcoal, is in the gray car by the roadside, two meters to your right. He¡¯s¡­ very dangerous!¡± Li Chengqian nodded, indicating that he understood. At this moment, the door of the gray car opened. The assassin Charcoal walked out of the car nonchalantly. Then, he walked briskly towards Li Chengqian. Gun controls were very strict in Divine Dragon Country. It was not easy for people to get hold of guns in a short period of time. However, for professional killers, everything could become a weapon. Li Chengqian walked forward. His eyes kept looking into the interior of the Divine Dragon Software Company. It was as if he didn¡¯t notice Charcoal following behind him. At this time, Li Chengqian was walking in the same direction as the assassin Falcon. The surroundings were calm. There was a comfortable feeling under the evening breeze. At this moment, many people suddenly walked out of the originally empty street. The peace was instantly broken. The street came alive, buzzing with activity. Some people were sweating profusely as they jogged on the streets, while a young couple walked out of the alley while chatting and laughing. The owner of the restaurant appeared with a black bag, as if he came out to throw his trash. The security team of the Divine Dragon Software Company ran out of the building with a whistle in their mouths. Charcoal and Falcon were shocked by this scene. Their eyes were vigilant as they glanced around. Then, the two of them instantly broke out in cold sweat. This was because they realized that these ordinary people were very extraordinary. Their eyes were cold and resolute, carrying a shrewd light. Their gait may appear normal, but one could detect the power and steadiness. These people who suddenly appeared were not normal residents at all. They were clearly regular soldiers. Charcoal was extremely shocked. He let go of his belt and turned around without any hesitation, walking towards the car. He gave up on the idea of killing Li Chengqian. Looking at the current state, he understood the situation. There were many people secretly protecting Li Chengqian at the Divine Dragon Software Company! Attacking Li Chengqian under such circumstances was courting death. Falcon¡¯s expression was calm even though he felt extremely nervous. He was extremely shocked by the sudden situation. Falcon said gently, ¡°Baby, don¡¯t drink so much in the future. It¡¯s a terrible feeling to be so drunk.¡± His voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for the people around him to hear. Falcon quickened his pace to the side of the road as he spoke. Seeing that he was about to walk past Li Chengqian, Falcon was overjoyed. He felt a little regretful that he couldn¡¯t kill Li Chengqian. However, it was a good consolation to catch a big fish like Zhang Tianling! At this moment, Li Chengqian, who had been looking at Divine Dragon Software Company, suddenly looked at Falcon¡­ Falcon¡¯s heart stopped beating at this glance. The pedestrians on the road looked at Li Chengqian and Falcon almost at the same time. Everyone¡¯s eyes were cold. In the room on the other side of the road, Shah suppressed the excitement in his heart and adjusted the position and lowered the sniper rifle. He placed his finger on the trigger and aimed at Li Chengqian¡¯s head. He would pull the trigger and kill Li Chengqian the minute Li Chengqian and Falcon got into a conflict. ¡­ Chapter 228 - 228 Capturing the Assassin 228 Capturing the Assassin ¡°Wait¡­¡± Li Chengqian stretched out his arm and stopped Falcon. ¡°Let her go!¡± Li Chengqian pointed at Zhang Tianling. ¡°Who are you? She¡¯s my girlfriend. Why should I let her go?¡± Falcon didn¡¯t want to be entangled with Li Chengqian. After saying this quickly, he helped Zhang Tianling walk in another direction. ¡°Hydra, Falcon! I¡¯ll give you one last chance. Let her go!¡± Li Chengqian sneered and directly exposed Falcon¡¯s identity. When Falcon heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ve been exposed! Quick, I have to leave.¡± Falcon¡¯s eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Li Chengqian. Without any hesitation, he let go of Zhang Tianling. Then, with a panicked expression on his face, Falcon rushed towards the gray car by the roadside at lightning speed. Charcoal had already returned to the car and started it up, ready to flee. Li Chengqian helped Zhang Tianling up. When he saw that Zhang Tianling was unconscious, he shook his head. Zhang Tianling was a commercial spy. She tried to steal the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s brainwave coding technology. She was despicable. However, she suffered a huge loss at Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. Not only was she taken advantage of by Li Chengqian, but she also helped Li Chengqian a lot. She sent the artificial intelligence Bai Ze to the internal server of Windows, Apple, and Google. Not only did it allow Li Chengqian to obtain the three companies¡¯ decades worth of source code data, but he also discovered the loopholes left behind by the three companies in the operating system. It was also immensely helpful to Bai Ze in developing the Doomsday Extortion Virus. At the same time, the virtual currency of the three companies and the finances in the anonymous accounts were taken away by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian to obtain hundreds of billions of yuan in one fell swoop. Li Chengqian was prepared to save Zhang Tianling considering that she had been of such great help. Just then, a man who looked like a night run enthusiast suddenly rushed over. Falcon was taken aback and he tried to avoid him. However, the man was too fast and there was no way to dodge. The two of them collided and fell to the ground. ¡°Let go!¡± Falcon tried to stand up, but the man held him back. ¡°You caused me to fall. Do you think you can just leave? Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± The man refused to let go. While the two of them were entangled, the security guards of the Divine Dragon Software Company rushed over aggressively. Under the command of the security captain, Zheng Jing, they firmly restrained the two of them. ¡°Falcon, you¡¯re on your own.¡± What was ethics and morality? In Charcoal¡¯s eyes, there was no such thing. He only cared about benefits. When he realized that he couldn¡¯t do anything, he didn¡¯t hesitate to abandon his companion. ¡°I¡¯m out of here!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Country is really too dangerous. I definitely won¡¯t accept any missions related to the Divine Dragon Country in the future.¡± ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t do anything hostile. Otherwise¡­¡± Charcoal was glad that all he did was get out of the car and walkaround. He didn¡¯t do anything extreme. Otherwise, he would definitely end up like Falcon. Meanwhile, in a room on the other side of the road, Falcon was restrained and couldn¡¯t move. Charcoal had fled in the car. As soon as the car turned the intersection, it started shaking violently. Then, it came to a halt. Charcoal stepped hard on the accelerator, but it was useless. ¡°F*ck!¡± Charcoal cursed crazily. He quickly opened the car door and looked around vigilantly, preparing to flee. At this moment, the strong lights suddenly lit up, causing Charcoal to be blinded and unable to see anything clearly. Then, cold and terrifying guns appeared from the darkness and surrounded Charcoal. ¡°Charcoal, put your hands up. Get down. You¡¯re under arrest!¡± There were more than 200 people on the short stretch of road in front of the Divine Dragon Software Company. When Shah saw this, his entire body turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He broke out in cold sweat. ¡°F*ck, this is too scary! The defense here is even tighter than a military camp.¡± Shah cursed silently and gently put down the sniper rifle. He was terrified after witnessing all this! In fact, he had just been blaming Corgi for being timid. Now, he finally understood what Corgi meant when he said. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you would be dead before you could even spend the money!¡± With such tight security, even if they could kill Li Chengqian, absolutely no one could escape. As long as he fired, he would be dead! Therefore, he gave up on the idea of firing. ¡°Damn corgi. He clearly noticed that something was wrong, but he didn¡¯t tell me everything. He gave me false hope¡­¡± Shah cursed silently in his heart. He was visibly upset. ¡°Now, most of the security personnel in the area are on alert. The focus is on Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°This is the perfect opportunity to escape.¡± Shah opened the door gently. Other than the necessary things, he didn¡¯t pack anything else. All he wanted was to flee. ¡°Kneel down and raise your arms!¡± At this moment, three submachine guns appeared from the darkness, blocking all of Shah¡¯s escape routes. It made it impossible for Shah to escape. With the cold submachine guns pointed at him, he was despondent and his entire body turned cold. He slowly raised his hands. Then he saw Corgi. Corgi was looking at him with a desperate expression. At this moment, Corgi¡¯s hands were handcuffed behind him and he was held by two guards. The tape on his mouth prevented him from making a sound. ¡°Captain, I thought he would dare to shoot¡­¡± a young guard said with a smile. At this moment, a few guards rushed into the room and took out the sniper rifle that Shah was just fiddling with. ¡°Stop fooling around. There¡¯s something wrong with the bullets in the gun. Once you pull the trigger, the bullets will explode!¡± ¡°Kid, you¡¯re lucky!¡± ¡°If you dare to pull the trigger with this gun of yours, you¡¯ll be blown up on the spot,¡± the captain said as he patted Shah¡¯s face. Whether it was Shah or Corgi, they were stunned by the captain¡¯s words! Once the trigger was pulled, the bullet would explode on its own. If this gun was used, it wouldn¡¯t kill anyone. Instead, it would blow himself up! ¡°The bullet was clearly¡­¡± Corgi¡¯s face was filled with disbelief because he was the one who got the bullets and he had checked them carefully. ¡°Idiot, from the moment you stepped into the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s territory, you have no secrets¡­¡± ¡°The bullets? I personally helped you change them.¡± The captain chuckled. ¡°Originally, I wanted to use you guys to fish¡­ Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t catch a big fish! Only the two of you came over,¡± the captain said regretfully. After hearing the captain¡¯s words, Corgi and Shah were in complete despair. They looked at the captain with fear in their eyes. ¡°Alright, retreat. Take them with us!¡± The captain waved his hand and quickly retreated with the guards. Chapter 229 - 229 Is There Some Kind of a Misunderstanding? 229 Is There Some Kind of a Misunderstanding? Zhang Tianling leaned against Li Chengqian¡¯s chest. That peerlessly beautiful face was right in front of Li Chengqian. His eyes were tightly shut, and his face was filled with residual fear. When he was doing research on the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian read a lot of medical data. He could tell at a glance that Zhang Tianling was under the effect of anesthesia. This situation was not fatal. Zhang Tianling would be conscious once the anesthetic has worn off. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he helped Zhang Tianling into the Divine Dragon Software Company. As Li Chengqian was helping Zhang Tianling into the Divine Dragon Software Company, he received a message from Director Guo on his phone. ¡°President Li, thank you for the information.¡± In fact, Li Chengqian had already taken relevant precautions from the time Zhang Tianling arrived at the Divine Dragon Software Company to steal the brainwave coding technology. He knew that the brainwave coding technology and the brainwave receiver were futuristic technologies that would tempt many people with evil designs. People would do anything for money! Therefore, he asked Bai Ze to develop a security program. All the surveillance cameras in Tianyi City were included in the security program. All the electronic devices were Bai Ze¡¯s eyes. Any stranger who appeared in Tianyi City would enter Bai Ze¡¯s database. Anyone who appeared around the Divine Dragon Software Company would be included in Bai Ze¡¯s surveillance range. Bai Ze was an artificial intelligence program. As long as anyone had appeared once, it would be stored in the database. Any disguise would be useless. Li Chengqian had handed over these people¡¯s information to Director Guo when he met him earlier in the day. Then, the incident at night happened. Soon after, Li Chengqian brought Zhang Tianling to the studio upstairs. There were still some people working overtime in the Company. When they saw Li Chengqian holding the drunk looking Zhang Tianling, the boys all had evil and knowing smiles on their faces. As for the girls, they were disappointed to see their male idol bringing a girl back. ¡°If only that person was me.¡± Someone felt sour. When they arrived at the studio, Li Chengqian placed Zhang Tianling on the sofa. This happened to be the sofa that Zhang Tianling sat on a while ago, where Li Chengqian had pretended to be drunk and took advantage of her. Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to Zhang Tianling. Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes were tightly shut. Her small face was devastatingly beautiful and flawless. However, there was also fatigue and lingering fear on her face. She made people feel the urge to protect her. ¡°No wonder she became the most powerful commercial spy in Sunset. No one can resist a face and a body like hers¡­ Any man would be attracted to her.¡± Li Chengqian exclaimed in his heart. As Li Chengqian was admiring her, Zhang Tianling gradually regained her consciousness. She struggled to open her eyes and happened to see Li Chengqian¡¯s half-smile. The panic and fear in her heart disappeared in an instant. She actually felt a sense of security in her heart instead For some reason, all her emotions turned into grievances. Tears streamed down her face. ¡°Zhang Tianling, what¡¯s wrong? Are you so excited to see me?¡± Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Tianling¡¯s expression and was a little confused. When Zhang Tianling heard this, she felt even more aggrieved. ¡°Li Chengqian, you are the devil! You almost got me killed.¡± Zhang Tianling finally regained her composure after a long while. Her expression became cold as she looked at Li Chengqian coldly. ¡°Zhang Tianling, you can¡¯t say that. You came to our company to steal the brainwave coding technology¡­ If you hadn¡¯t come, all these subsequent incidents wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡± Li Chengqian sneered and spoke bluntly. ¡°Furthermore, without my help, do you think you can escape the pursuit of Hydra and Alien? It¡¯s very likely that you would have been killed without even knowing who did it.¡± Li Chengqian was still domineering, his voice cold and stern. ¡°You¡¯re really kind, my foot! If it weren¡¯t for you, would I have been hunted down?¡± Zhang Tianling struggled to stand up, she mocked, not to be outdone. She was being utterly unreasonable. ¡°Zhang Tianling, I don¡¯t want to argue with you!¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and pointed at the entrance of the studio. ¡°Now that the Hydra and Alien mercenaries have all been arrested, you¡¯re safe. You can leave.¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, a trace of panic and fear flashed in Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes. ¡°No, you¡¯re the one who caused me this plight. I¡¯m not going anywhere!¡± Zhang Tianling rolled her eyes. She was originally standing but then decided to lie back on the sofa again. She had decided to be unreasonable. ¡°We might as well. I don¡¯t feel like sleeping and you can keep me company through the night¡­¡± A smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s face, as he ran his eyes up and down Zhang Tianling. Zhang Tianling felt a chill run down her spine and stood up instantly. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m already a wanted person on the dark web because of the brainwave coding technology!¡± Zhang Tianling said pitifully, almost crying. ¡°My bank account has been frozen! I don¡¯t have a single cent on me now! I¡¯ll starve to death if I leave.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a visa. If you chase me out, I¡¯ll be sent back to Sunset Empire immediately.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m sent back, my enemies will torture and kill me to vent their anger.¡± ¡°Please, let me stay here.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the only person I know in the Divine Dragon Country. Only you can help me.¡± Zhang Tianling looked at Li Chengqian as if she was looking at a savior. This was also the reason why she had to come to Tianyi City and to the Divine Dragon Software Company. She was here to seek help from Li Chengqian. As the saying goes, once a lover, always a lover. Although she and Li Chengqian did not consummate their relationship, they weren¡¯t far off. They were just one last step short. She remembered vividly what happened the last time. She had really suffered a huge loss¡­ She felt that with this little relationship, Li Chengqian would probably take pity on her and help her. After Zhang Tianling finished speaking, she looked at Li Chengqian pitifully. Her eyes were hopeful and imploring at the same time. Her gaze was very complicated. Li Chengqian stared at Zhang Tianling. That sharp gaze made Zhang Tianling¡¯s hair stand on end. Only then did Li Chengqian say softly, ¡°Helping you is not impossible¡­¡± ¡°Zhang Tianling, I don¡¯t serve free lunches here. I can help you, but you have to give me something I need¡­¡± Li Chengqian smiled and looked straight into Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes. When Zhang Tianling heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her entire face turned red. ¡°This damned b*stard is actually taking advantage of my circumstances¡­¡± ¡°But do I have a choice?¡± Compared to the other options, this was already the best way out. Moreover, Li Chengqian was young, clever, handsome and wealthy. So it wasn¡¯t a bad deal to sleep with him. After a series of conflicting thoughts and internal struggles, Zhang Tianling conceded. ¡°Li Chengqian, I want to wash up first.¡± She bit her lip and said in a low voice. ¡°Eh? Why do you need to wash up?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes were smiling, and his words carried a hint of mockery. ¡°You pervert, I¡¯m so dirty now, and you can actually do it?¡± Zhang Tianling was stunned. Even she couldn¡¯t stand the smell on her body now, but Li Chengqian actually wanted to sleep with her without her bathing¡­ ¡°Zhang Tianling, what exactly are you thinking? Is there some kind of a misunderstanding? I¡¯m not understanding you!¡± Li Chengqian said with a puzzled expression. ¡°I just want to say, give me the relevant information you obtained in the past!¡± ¡°For example, the blueprints for the DUV photolithography machine¡­¡± ¡°Information on superb precision motors, the kind used in photolithography machines¡­¡± ¡°Information on Boyi¡¯s aero engine.¡± ¡°Production technology for photolithography lenses¡­¡± ¡°Light source production technology for photolithography machines¡­¡± ¡°I heard that you still have some information on space shuttles? I need that too.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t understand. Why do you still want to take a shower first before you can give me these information?¡± Li Chengqian looked puzzled. Zhang Tianling was so embarrassed that she almost crawled under the sofa. Her face was red and her eyes were filled with embarrassment. ¡°This demon¡­¡± Chapter 230 - 230 News and Plans 230 News and Plans Zhang Tianling became a top commercial spy because of her results, not her beauty. On her list of achievements was a photolithography machine, and also a space shuttle. According to the rules, Zhang Tianling had to destroy the relevant information after handing it to the employer. However, no commercial spy would do that. They would definitely have at least one backup in their hands. ¡°Li Chengqian, I do have the information you want!¡± After Zhang Tianling calmed down for a while, she answered Li Chengqian¡¯s question generously. ¡°If you want it, I can give it to you¡­¡± Zhang Tianling deliberately paused when she said this. Li Chengqian had teased her like this earlier on, she wanted to give it back to him, an eye for an eye. However, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t fall for it at all. With a smile on his face, he just looked at her quietly. That naughty smile made Zhang Tianling panic again. ¡°However, you have to give me what I need in exchange.¡± Zhang Tianling gritted her teeth and named her terms. ¡°What request? Tell me,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°Firstly, I want to obtain the legal right to stay in Divine Dragon Country and a permanent residency status.¡± Zhang Tianling said it directly without thinking. ¡°Secondly, I can give you all the technologies I have in my hands, but I want at least 1% of the shares of the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Thirdly, I want to work for the Divine Dragon Software Company! I want a high-level position at the very least.¡± Zhang Tianling spoke slowly and didn¡¯t panic at all even when she saw that Li Chengqian frowned slightly and a cold light appeared in his eyes. ¡°In addition to the DUV lithography machine technology that you know, the EUV lithography lens, high-power light source, and civil aviation engine technology, I also have the next generation design information for the InteI and ADM processors.¡± ¡°Moreover, I have another piece of information here. A piece of information that is very important to you and the Divine Dragon Country,¡± Zhang Tianling said confidently. ¡°I can agree to your first condition.¡± Helping Zhang Tianling obtain the residency rights of the Divine Dragon Country was not difficult for Li Chengqian. ¡°I can also agree to the third condition, but the Divine Dragon Software Company has a comprehensive assessment method for its senior managers. If you can¡¯t pass the assessment, you will still be fired. The Company won¡¯t let a mediocre person into the middle management,¡± Li Chengqian said expressionlessly. His tone was very serious. ¡°As for your second condition¡­ Let¡¯s talk about your information first. If it¡¯s indeed very useful information, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price¡­¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t directly agree to the second condition because the shares of the Divine Dragon Software Company were very valuable. To date, Li Chengqian owned all the shares of Divine Dragon Software Company! However, Zhang Tianling was still holding back something. What she said was only a portion of the information! Zhang Tianling had yet to reveal an even more shocking piece of information. Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze was a little solemn. ¡°As expected of an old technological powerhouse¡­ They had thought of a way to be immune to the Doomsday Extortion Virus very quickly.¡± In fact, Li Chengqian knew that it was just a matter of time that the Sunset Empire found a way to resolve the Doomsday Extortion Virus. He just didn¡¯t expect it to be resolved so quickly. By burning the operating system into the ROM device, the system files cannot be changed at the hardware level. This way, the Doomsday Extortion Virus would lose its effect. Moreover, through this method, not only could he be immune to the Doomsday Extortion Virus, but he could basically be immune to all other types of viruses. In the future, it would be almost impossible to use a virus to attack the Sunset Empire¡¯s information system again. ¡°Not bad, the news you brought is not bad.¡± Li Chengqian nodded, very satisfied with the news Zhang Tianling brought. There was nothing Li Chengqian could do even after knowing what the Sunset Empire was up to now. However, after knowing the situation, he wouldn¡¯t be caught off guard. ¡°But this information isn¡¯t worth 1% of the shares.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head. With the current income ability of the Divine Dragon Software Company, its annual income would definitely exceed 300 billion yuan. All the products were high-profit products with extremely low costs. The net profit was about 250 billion yuan. With 1% of the shares, she would be taking 2.5 billion yuan from Li Chengqian! And this was only based on the current profit level. Next, Li Chengqian was prepared to step into the chip manufacturing field, the aerospace field, the high-end equipment manufacturing field, the energy field, and the biopharmaceutical field¡­ Especially in the field of biopharmaceuticals, there was the Farmer profession as the foundation. It is about human health, longevity and mortality. Li Chengqian estimated that it was definitely more profitable than the software field! This industry was the real profit-making industry. Based on Li Chengqian¡¯s plan, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could increase the income of the Divine Dragon Software Company by several times, or even ten times. The value of this 1% of shares was immeasurable. Therefore, Li Chengqian would not give the shares of Divine Dragon Software Company to anyone for the time being. Zhang Tianling looked disappointed. ¡°It seems that this greedy demon has taken advantage of me again.¡± Freeloading! ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll give you 50 million yuan for this piece of information. If I¡¯m satisfied with the relevant technologies you have, I¡¯ll give you 1 billion!¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and stated a price that he thought was relatively fair. Zhang Tianling was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Alright, I agree!¡± Zhang Tianling agreed without thinking. ¡°Wait, where¡¯s your information? Did you hear what I just said? I mean, I¡¯ll give you 1 billion yuan only if I am satisfied with it!¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not satisfied, I won¡¯t pay.¡± Zhang Tianling smiled. ¡°I understand!¡± Then, she blushed and gently lifted her clothes¡­ Seeing Zhang Tianling¡¯s fair and smooth waist, Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva. ¡°Zhang Tianling, wait¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree to look at the information?¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. He had no intention of looking away. Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes were filled with a teasing smile. She was a little proud. ¡°This bastard, how dare you trick me just now¡­¡± At this moment, the navel ring on Zhang Tianling¡¯s navel was revealed. It was a colorful pearl. Under the light, the colorful pearls looked beautiful against her fair skin. Who could withstand such a scene? This was clearly a signal to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to take a step forward¡­ ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you doing?¡± Zhang Tianling suddenly spoke very sternly. ¡°This pearl is a custom-made memory device. It stores the data you need.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted to see these technologies?¡± ¡°Why are you looking at me with such a lecherous gaze?¡± Zhang Tianling looked at Li Chengqian as if he was looking at a pervert. Li Chengqian immediately came crashing back to reality. Looking at Zhang Tianling¡¯s messy and greasy hair, smelling the stench of sweat coming from her body, he lost all interest immediately. Li Chengqian¡¯s expression did not change, but he was extremely embarrassed in his heart. He cursed in his heart, ¡°This demoness is quite vengeful. She must be doing this to take revenge on me.¡± ¡°Next time, when she¡¯s clean, if she dares to play like this¡­ I¡¯ll definitely let her know the price of playing with fire.¡± Chapter 231 - 231 A Functioning Root Domain Name Server 231 A Functioning Root Domain Name Server Hales, head of the Global Domain Name Administration, is debugging the root domain name server. He looked intently at the image on the computer. This server is a root domain name server built on the Windows system and managed in almost the same way as the previous root domain name server. ¡°What do you think, Mr. Hales?¡± Rafe said with a smile. Because of the importance of the root domain name server, Rafe personally came to participate in the debugging. ¡°Mr. Rafe, it¡¯s working very well. Good job,¡± Hales said happily. Then, Hales seemed to have thought of something and his expression turned serious. ¡°However, I¡¯m still worried that the server will be damaged by the virus.¡± ¡°Moreover, all the countries have already deployed the branch domain name resolution server of the Divine Dragon System¡­ Even if we deploy the root domain name server, other countries won¡¯t send us their requests. Even if the original root domain name server is functioning, it¡¯s useless.¡± Hales had a dejected expression on his face as he said this. This was because not only did other countries deploy the branch domain name resolution servers, even Sunset Empire had deployed the branch domain name resolution servers of the Divine Dragon System. And this server was also managed by their organization. After this period of familiarization and research, they discovered a depressing situation. The branch domain name resolution server¡¯s pointer is fixed, and resolution requests are sent only to the Iceman Project server. It could not be changed at all. In this way, something happened. That is, although they have now fixed the original root domain name server, no branch domain name server will send a request to the root domain name server. Moreover, the Divine Dragon¡¯s branch domain name resolution server¡¯s IP allocation and domain name allocation¡­ were all rearranged. They were not compatible with the previous system at all. This meant that it would cost a lot to change the domain name resolution service back to its original state. Hales was in despair! ¡°Mr. Hales, there¡¯s no problem with the server¡¯s security at all. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Rafe said confidently. He used the ROM installation operating system model to completely immunize the system to the virus. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else. Run the root domain name server well and get the root domain name server to run normally¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, someone will use our root domain name server soon!¡± ¡°Under the wise leadership of the Empire, we will take back one by one what we lost due to the Doomsday Extortion Virus incident,¡± Rafe said firmly. ¡°You mean¡­ the Empire is going to make a move?¡± When Hales heard this, he was extremely surprised. Under the Empire¡¯s covert arrangements, chip manufacturers all over the world were working hard to produce ROM storage devices. At the current production speed, it would only take three months to produce enough ROM storage devices. After accumulating enough storage, under the leadership of the Empire, they would implement a country lockdown plan. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian took the pearl that Zhang Tianling handed over. Under Zhang Tianling¡¯s guidance, he began to copy the data. ¡°Zhang Tianling, there is a hotel that is on the right of the Divine Dragon Software Company, 200 meters away. Go stay there. I¡¯ll call them.¡± ¡°The smell on your body is very strong now! It¡¯s suffocating.¡± Li Chengqian frowned as he copied the data. A trace of fear flashed across Zhang Tianling¡¯s eyes, and uneasiness appeared on her face. She suddenly shook her head and said firmly, ¡°No, it¡¯s very dangerous outside. I¡¯m not going anywhere.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s studio was the only place that she felt secure in now. ¡°All the mercenaries, assassins, and spies have been cleared out. It¡¯s very safe. You don¡¯t have to worry at all,¡± Li Chengqian assured her. He knew that Zhang Tianling had been extremely terrified by this series of pursuits. Otherwise, Zhang Tianling¡¯s reaction would not have been so intense. Zhang Tianling shook her head firmly and said with a trembling voice, ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m very frightened. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be captured by the mercenaries and assassins once I walk out of this place.¡± As Zhang Tianling spoke, she looked around warily. At this moment, she noticed that the bathroom door was ajar. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She didn¡¯t ask for Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion at all. A happy smile appeared on her face as she walked towards the bathroom. ¡°Li Chengqian, you clearly have a bathroom here and you actually won¡¯t let me use it! You¡¯re so evil.¡± ¡°Zhang Tianling, wait a moment!¡± Li Chengqian hurriedly said. This bathroom was not locked at all because he had never considered letting others stay here right from the beginning. Zhang Tianling didn¡¯t listen to Li Chengqian at all. After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s shout, she ran even faster. With a few strides, she rushed into the bathroom. She closed the bathroom door and thought to herself, ¡°You don¡¯t want me to shower, but that is exactly what I will do!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already entered. I¡¯ll lock the door. I don¡¯t believe you can chase me out.¡± ¡°Hey, why isn¡¯t there a lock on this door¡­¡± Zhang Tianling was dumbfounded when she was about to lock the door. ¡°Zhang Tianling, there is no lock on the door!¡± At this moment, Li Chengqian¡¯s voice faintly sounded. Zhang Tianling immediately felt conflicted. The door wasn¡¯t locked, so she didn¡¯t dare to take a shower at all. If Li Chengqian rushed in while she was showering¡­ the consequences would be unimaginable. Something bad would happen if she wasn¡¯t careful. When Zhang Tianling thought of this, her face turned pale. Go and stay in a hotel? The moment this thought appeared, she felt a chill run down her spine and she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Absolutely not! What if the assassins and mercenaries were waiting outside? The thought of going out to stay was instantly thrown out of her mind. Zhang Tianling was in a dilemma. She couldn¡¯t take a shower, and yet she couldn¡¯t not take a shower¡­ While Zhang Tianling was in a dilemma, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stay idle. He imported all the data from the pearl into the computer. ¡°DUV photolithography machine blueprint!¡± The name of the first folder excited Li Chengqian. ¡°This is good stuff¡­¡± ¡°Our biggest shortcoming now is chip production.¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s not the most advanced EUV photolithography machine and can only produce the smallest 7-nanometer chip, it¡¯s enough for me!¡± Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and directly imported the blueprint into the intelligent machine CAD software. The intelligent machine CAD software would automatically analyze the blueprint. The authenticity of the blueprint could be analyzed. Moreover, the intelligent machine CAD software could list the parts suppliers based on the design blueprint and also list the specific production process. At this moment, in the bathroom¡­ The sound of flowing water could be heard. Chapter 232 - 232 Scared to Death 232 Scared to Death Li Chengqian imported the blueprint of the DUV photolithography machine into the intelligent machine CAD software. Under Bai Ze¡¯s control, the software began to analyze. The DUV lithography machine was very complicated. There were about 100,000 components involved in a machine. Therefore, the analysis took some time. The big screen indicated that it would take about three hours. ¡°Sunset Empire is dedicating all resources into the production of ROM equipment¡­¡± The news Zhang Tianling brought didn¡¯t sound important initially, but after careful consideration, Li Chengqian thought of many things. ¡°ROM is immune to the attack of the Doomsday Extortion Virus and has forcefully renewed the life of the Windows, Apple, and Linux-related systems.¡± ¡°Project Great Flood has lost half of its battle results in an instant.¡± Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. He knew from the beginning that he wanted to destroy decades of the Sunset Empire¡¯s work through Project Great Flood. But he knew it was unlikely. However, Li Chengqian felt indignant watching the market that he had already captured on the verge of being taken away by others. ¡°Moreover, the Sunset Empire will definitely launch a counterattack!¡± ¡°ROM production would only be the first step¡­ Forcing everyone to use the ROM system might be their second step¡­¡± ¡°The prohibition of hardware might be the third step!¡± Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. In fact, he was very familiar with the modus operandi. They would ban anything that the Divine Dragon Country couldn¡¯t produce. This way, they could firmly restrain the Divine Dragon. ¡°Zhang Tianling¡¯s DUV photolithography machine blueprints came at the right time.¡± Li Chengqian smiled when he saw the progress on the big screen. With this blueprint, coupled with the help of the intelligent machine CAD software¡­ and the next step would be the intelligent factory software. Li Chengqian would let the people of ASML know what the fear of being held ransom by production was like! While Li Chengqian was thinking, the sound of flowing water came from the bathroom. ¡°This minx, she is actually¡­ taking a shower here.¡± Hearing the continuous sound of water coming from the bathroom, Li Chengqian became a little irritable. ¡°You really have the guts!¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and suppressed his wild thoughts. ¡°Perhaps she did it on purpose¡­¡± A thought flashed through Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Zhang Tianling was not an ordinary person to begin with. She was a famous commercial spy. She was a super spy who could even obtain DUV lithography machines and civilian aerospace engines. Impossible! Soon, Li Chengqian focused his attention on the other data Zhang Tianling had given him. The photolithography machine lens production technology! The photolithography machine¡¯s high-power light source production technology! There was also the ultra-precision electric mechanism technology! Civil aviation engine drawings. There was also a blueprint for a space shuttle! Li Chengqian carefully studied every technology. Although they weren¡¯t the most advanced technologies in the world, it was enough for Li Chengqian for now! As long as he mastered these technologies, there would be no problem in producing the DUV lithography machine. This way, the problem of being held ransom could immediately be resolved. Moreover, the ultra-precision motor technology also involved another idea of Li Chengqian. Combat robots¡­ And¡­ a meka! From what happened today, many people had already set their eyes on the Divine Dragon Software Company, and many people had also set their eyes on him. Relying on others all the time was not Li Chengqian¡¯s style. Moreover, no one was unreliable. Robots had one characteristic: they would never betray! Therefore, Li Chengqian was prepared to focus on developing robots next¡­ In all Master of All Professions game, robots were also a development focus. It was also the main method to resist an alien invasion. No matter which angle he looked at the issue, Li Chengqian would focus on developing robot technology. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational thinking¡± He activated the two skills. The lust in his body disappeared completely. The sound of water coming from the bathroom nearby and the silhouette reflected on the bathroom door could no longer make his heart flutter. Zhang Tianling¡¯s curvy figure and the silhouette she intentionally revealed¡­ In Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes, there was no longer any attraction. Under the effect of the Skills, Li Chengqian quickly flipped through the pages and quickly memorized the difficult information. He also absorbed and categorized the information. In the bathroom, Zhang Tianling kept looking at the bathroom door. Her gaze was very deep. From the initial nervousness¡­ and then after waiting and waiting, there was still no sign of Li Chengqian entering. This nervousness turned into doubt! Because all the men she had seen in the past looked like they were dying to devour her. Men would create an opportunity and find excuses to get close to her. Whatever she liked, the other party would pander to her wishes. This was the first time she had deliberately created an opportunity for Li Chengqian. However, Li Chengqian actually didn¡¯t barge in. This was too shocking. After another five minutes, Zhang Tianling was still looking at the bathroom door. Her brows furrowed tightly. ¡°Could it be that Li Chengqian is impotent?¡± Other than this explanation, she couldn¡¯t find any other possible explanations. No man could resist her charm unless he was impotent. After another five minutes, Zhang Tianling fell into self-doubt. ¡°Could it be that she was busy fleeing from the assassins, and thus didn¡¯t have any makeup on and has become ugly?¡± She looked at the bathroom door and saw that there was still no movement. Zhang Tianling felt an unprecedented sense of defeat. ¡°I want to see what Li Chengqian is doing¡­ He actually didn¡¯t come to see me!¡± Because the clothes she wore previously were dirty and smelly, Zhang Tianling was not prepared to put them on again. She saw a brand new male bathrobe in the bathroom. She walked over and put it on. The wide bathrobe hid her body. Her hair was wet, and there were still water droplets on her body. She gently opened the door and looked out. Then, she saw Li Chengqian focused on flipping through the information. ¡°Damn man, he¡¯s blind.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so good-looking, and yet he chose to look at the information instead!¡± Zhang Tianling complained in her heart. Then, she rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea. ¡°Well, since you¡¯re so focused on reading the information. Let¡¯s see if I can give you a fright, you bastard.¡± Zhang Tianling slowly and gently walked towards Li Chengqian. In order to vent her dissatisfaction, she was going to ruthlessly give Li Chengqian a huge fright. Everyone knew that when a person was concentrating on something, they would be scared out of their wits if someone suddenly shouted from behind. Zhang Tianling was very careful and did not make a single sound as she snuck up behind Li Chengqian. Her face was filled with mischievous glee. ¡°Boo!¡± She suddenly roared and slapped Li Chengqian¡¯s shoulders with both hands. She was trembling in excitement at the thought of making Li Chengqian scream in fear and pee his pants. However¡­ She was wrong. The moment she slapped him, Li Chengqian suddenly turned his head. His eyes were cold and he didn¡¯t look alive. He looked at her like a machine. His eyes were cold, unfocused, expressionless, and silent. He looked at her coldly without any emotions. The light from the computer screen shone on Li Chengqian¡¯s face, making him look ghastly pale. Li Chengqian was not startled at all. On the other hand, she was terrified to see Li Chengqian¡¯s state, especially after being stared at by Li Chengqian¡¯s beast-like eyes. Her heart stopped in fear, and her entire body turned cold, as if she had encountered a surreal enemy. Intense fear emerged from the bottom of her heart. Her hair stood on end, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead. Horror, fear! Li Chengqian did not look like a human at all¡­ He was more like¡­ a ghost! She quickly retreated in fear. The ground was already wet and very slippery. Because she was too nervous and frightened, Zhang Tianling panicked and fell to the ground after retreating for about a meter. The male bathrobe was already too loose to start with. Moreover, Zhang Tianling didn¡¯t put on her clothes that had become dirty and smelly. She had left them in the bathroom. Instantly¡­ Chapter 233 - 233 Producing a Lithography Machine 1 233 Producing a Lithography Machine 1 Northern Han, Ministry of Information Technology. Northern Han¡¯s Minister for Information Technology, Li Dapu, looked at Rafe with a bitter expression. ¡°Mr. Rafe, are we really going to do this?¡± Li Dapu asked with a serious expression. Rafe was a messenger of the Sunset Empire¡¯s directive. The Sunset Empire had requested that the redeployment of the Windows-based branch domain name resolution server start in Northern Han. They are to abandon the Divine Dragon System¡¯s branch domain name resolution server. They are also to completely revamp the internet infrastructure in Northern Han. All computers in the country, be it governmental, commercial, or personal, must revert to the Windows system. They had to implement the so-called De-Dragonization Project! Rafe was arrogant and dominant. ¡°Mr. Li Dapu, this is the directive of the Sunset Empire.¡± ¡°No one can resist the will of the Empire.¡± ¡°Furthermore, you will only stand to gain from this.¡± ¡°Through this operation, you can get rid of your dependence on and surveillance of the Divine Dragon System¡­ Only by getting rid of the System can your national security be guaranteed.¡± Li Dapu didn¡¯t believe a word of Rafe¡¯s nonsense. These words could only fool a three-year-old. He wouldn¡¯t possibly fall for it. If this operation was really so wonderful, why didn¡¯t the Sunset Empire implement it in their own territory first? Why did Northern Han have to be the pioneers? If there were really benefits, the Sunset Empire would definitely be the first to rush in. Northern Han might not even make the list. Those who fall behind would pay the price. That was how realistic it was. ¡°Mr. Li Dapu, we¡¯re implementing the decision of the highest level. If you have any objections to the plan we¡¯re about to implement, you can immediately give feedback to the highest level¡­ However, if you do so, it¡¯s hard to say if you can still keep your position as the Minister for Information Technology.¡± Rafe also knew that it was impossible to deceive the cunning Li Dapu. He was just paying lip service. Li Dapu didn¡¯t climb to this position by being a fool. He naturally understood the situation. ¡°Furthermore, the ROM storage device used to carry out the plan, as well as the operating system and software in the ROM¡­ would all be given to Northern Han at cost price. We are not making a single cent.¡± ¡°Mr. Li Dapu, I am here to communicate to you the Sunset Empire¡¯s directive, as well as sincerity.¡± ¡°The friendship between the Sunset Empire and Northern Han would last forever.¡± Rafe¡¯s tone was arrogant and intimidating. His attitude was high and mighty, and he didn¡¯t take Li Dapu seriously at all. A trace of anger flashed in Li Dapu¡¯s eyes, but he hid it skillfully. No one noticed it. ¡°The friendship between the two countries is more important than anything else!¡± Li Dapu added. ¡°Mr. Rafe, I¡¯ll do my best to cooperate with you!¡± Li Dapu was unwilling to accept this. He could only lower his head and sigh in his heart. A triumphant smile spread across Rafe¡¯s face. Then, Rafe arrogantly gave instructions like he was the boss. ¡°Mr. Li Dapu, I¡¯ll give you three days to change all the relevant domain name servers to the Windows system and set the root domain name server to the Sunset server. The IP address is 0.12.¡± ¡°You must complete the switch for all your internal computers within five days.¡± ¡°Replace all commercial servers in 10 days.¡± ¡°Complete the replacement of all computer systems in your country in a month,¡± Rafe instructed. ¡°Also, I heard that the girls here are not bad¡­¡± ¡°Especially the celebrities. They are all so seductive¡­¡± ¡°I like young and beautiful women. I¡¯ll go to the hotel first!¡± Rafe had a smile on his face that all men understood. He left arrogantly after arranging his work and leisure in a commanding tone. Accompanied by the relevant personnel, he went straight back to the hotel to wait. Rafe had come to Northern Han with a mission. He had to complete the revamp of the Northern Han internet and all the computer systems before he could return. Coincidentally, he could take advantage of this period of time here to have some fun. In the office, Li Dapu watched Rafe leave, and anger showed on his face. His eyes were filled with anger. ¡°This is too much!¡± ¡°What do you think Northern Han is? Is it a theater?¡± ¡°What do you think our stars are? Prostitutes?¡± ¡°Who do you think I am? A pimp?!¡± Li Dapu slammed his hand on the desk, making a loud sound. After venting for a while, Li Dapu finally composed himself. Then, he called the relevant personnel to the office and began to make arrangements. Although he was furious, there was nothing he could do about Rafe. His country was not as strong. Patience and tolerance was his only option. ¡­ A corner of a desert in Tianyi City had been transformed into a huge construction site. Construction of the headquarters of the Divine Dragon Software Company had officially begun. On the side closest to the desert was a huge temporary factory. In the factory, a DUV lithography machine larger than a living room had been assembled. Most of the parts were already in place. On the surface of the machine was the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s logo. It proved that this machine was designed and manufactured by the Divine Dragon Software Company. However, this lithography machine was incomplete. There was still one key component that had not been installed. Not far from the huge lithography machine, Li Chengqian was working attentively. Chapter 234 - 234 Producing a Lithography Machine 2 234 Producing a Lithography Machine 2 He placed a piece of specially made high luminosity glass on the workbench. If one didn¡¯t have good eyesight, they wouldn¡¯t be able to notice the existence of this piece of glass. Li Chengqian caressed the surface of this piece of glass. His touch was even gentler and more careful than when he was caressing a lover. Among the professions that Li Chengqian took on, there was a Worker profession. The Precise Sizing skill of the Worker profession was simply a divine weapon when it came to creating high-precision components. It was simply invincible. [Precise Sizing (Master): You are abnormally sensitive to size, you can detect sizes up to a 1 nanometer margin of error, just by relying on your palms and eyes]. The lens is one of the most sophisticated components of a lithography machine, requiring extremely high transparency and surface leveling. How high a level was required? When a lens, one meter in diameter, used by a photolithography machine was enlarged to the size of the entire Divine Dragon Country, the difference in the surface of the glass could not exceed 20 centimeters. This was a very demanding figure. The Divine Dragon Country didn¡¯t have the relevant foundation and technology! This was also one of the reasons why the Divine Dragon Country could only produce 90 nm for the time being and couldn¡¯t produce more advanced DUV lithography machines! For any country, this kind of high level processing was a huge challenge. However, to Li Chengqian, this problem had never been a problem from the beginning. The Precise Sizing skill could allow Li Chengqian to achieve an even more incredible level of processing accuracy. To Li Chengqian, the second issue that had always restricted his lens processing was the glass material. He couldn¡¯t find glass that met the criteria. However, this problem had been resolved with Zhang Tianling¡¯s arrival. Zhang Tianling had not only brought the blueprints for the DUV lithography machine, but also the technology related to the glass of the DUV lithography machine. After obtaining the technology from Zhang Tianling, Li Chengqian bought a glass factory to specialize in producing this kind of translucent glass. After the translucent glass was produced, it was first polished using the most sophisticated processing method in the Divine Dragon Country before it was finally sent to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian carried out the final polishing of the special glass. Li Chengqian held a special grinding tool in his hand. He gently slid it twice on the glass before reaching out to test the level of the glass again. ¡°Almost there!¡± A smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. He picked up the huge glass lens and placed it in a special equipment to clean it. The glass was cleaned with super pure water without any impurities. After a full 20 minutes, the cleaning of the glass lens was finally completed. ¡°I¡¯ve finally made this big guy!¡± Li Chengqian felt a huge sense of accomplishment when he saw the assembled lithography machine conducting a self-check after the power was connected. Li Chengqian spent almost a month working nonstop without sleep or rest! There were also thousands of people helping in the purchasing and transport of related materials. There was also the support of software and other forces. Under such circumstances, he had spent a total of 300 million Divine Dragon yuan. He had finally created this huge machine! In this lithography machine, there was a control system specially developed by Bai Ze. ¡°The self-check of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has been completed. The system is operating normally.¡± An audio notification came from the lithography machine. ¡°Bai Ze, carry out the experimental production of the lithography machine in accordance with the plan!¡± Li Chengqian had been preparing for this day since the production of the lithography machine began. The full set of equipment needed to produce the chip, the etching machine, the infusion machine, the slide machine, and a series of other equipment had all been installed and debugged. Even if they couldn¡¯t buy the equipment, with the support of the relevant units, the Divine Dragon Company could use it at will. The light-carved substrate was borrowed from the National Chip Company for temporary use. They were going to produce 14-nanometer Red Qilin chips. ¡°Master, alright!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded. In front of Li Chengqian, all the machines in the dustless factory that were used to install the lithography machines and related equipment were activated. Small rumbling sounds continuously sounded from the various machines. ¡°Master, this experimental production of silicon chips is 10 pieces! A total of 1,680 chips will be produced.¡± ¡°The estimated time to complete the entire production process is three hours¡­¡± After Li Chengqian heard Bai Ze¡¯s words, he stretched his neck and back. He felt very tired after working for a long time. He sank into the sofa tiredly and found an extremely comfortable position to lie down. Ever since he started manufacturing the lithography machine, Li Chengqian had been eating and living in the factory. He had not gone out even once. Now that he had done everything he could, all he had to do was wait for the results of the experimental production.¡¯ ¡°Although it¡¯s only a DUV lithography machine, it¡¯s enough for Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°As long as this experimental lithography machine succeeds!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to ask anyone for help in the production of chips!¡± In fact, Divine Dragon had an excellent chip design company. Huawei and Unisoc were top chip design companies in the world. The biggest shortcoming of Divine Dragon had always been the production of chips. Although they had made many breakthroughs in recent years and the National Chip Company could produce 14-nanometer chips, they were still greatly restricted because the equipment and technology were from overseas. They still couldn¡¯t produce advanced chips for the relevant companies. ¡°Sunset Empire has arranged for all the factories in the world to produce ROM storage devices and to use solidification systems and software¡­ Their goal is definitely not as simple as replacing the Divine System.¡± Li Chengqian knew very well that Sunset would definitely make a big move. There would definitely be retaliation. This was their usual way of doing things. There was definitely no mistake. After Li Chengqian thought about it, the greatest possibility of Sunset¡¯s revenge was from the hardware. If Sunset had really made up its mind, it would completely cut off Divine Dragon hardware¡¯s supply. Although it was not fatal, it would still have a huge impact on Divine Dragon. ¡°Now, the Divine Dragon Software Company has already mastered the full production technology of the DUV lithography machine¡­ If Sunset really uses this method to take revenge, they will be disappointed.¡± At this moment, Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded from Li Chengqian¡¯s watch. ¡°Master, Northern Han¡¯s branch domain name resolution server has been completely shut down!¡± ¡°What?¡± When Li Chengqian heard this, he was momentarily stunned. He thought that he had heard wrongly. ¡°The Northern Han¡¯s branch domain name resolution server has been shut down and is no longer requesting resolution from the Iceman Project¡¯s root domain name server.¡± ¡°Other than the branch domain name resolution servers, the 18 provincial domain name servers and IP resolution servers in Northern Han and 341 sub-provincial domain name servers and IP resolution servers have all been shut down!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice continued. Li Chengqian¡¯s forehead was all creased from frowning deeply. If it was only a single server that was shut down, it was very likely to be due to hardware malfunctions or other emergencies. However, if all the servers were shut down, it was definitely not a sudden occurrence. It was definitely done on purpose! ¡°What is Northern Han up to?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s brows tightly knitted together, feeling that he couldn¡¯t understand. The Iceman Project domain name resolution server is now used all over the world, even at Sunset. Under these circumstances, Northern Han actually abandoned the Iceman Project domain name resolution server. ¡°Are they planning to cut all communication with other countries?¡± Because the other countries used the services provided by the Iceman Project domain name resolution server, and Northern Han wasn¡¯t using it now, Northern Han wouldn¡¯t be able to access any websites of the other countries. Nor can the other countries access Northern Han¡¯s websites. ¡°Master, Northern Han has activated a new branch domain name resolution server. The server is Windows-based!¡± ¡°The new branch domain name resolution server is connected to Sunset¡¯s root domain name server.¡± ¡°The Windows system is also running the root domain name server of Sunset.¡± ¡°The Doomsday Extortion Virus attack¡­ Detected that the system file is fixed and cannot be modified. The virus program has been detected and eliminated¡­ This attack has failed!¡± ¡°Master, after testing, it was found that the Doomsday Extortion Virus can¡¯t destroy the Windows-based domain name resolution server system!¡± ¡°As the system has been written into the ROM. The other party¡¯s system is immune to all computer viruses at this stage.¡± ¡°The progress made by Project Great Flood Project¡­ is being undone!¡± Li Chengqian listened carefully to Bai Ze¡¯s report. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind. ¡°Is Sunset¡¯s intention really just to regain the market for operating systems?¡± Chapter 235 - 235 Setback for the Iceman Project 235 Setback for the Iceman Project ¡°Li Chengqian, there¡¯s a red spot on the map of the Iceman Project.¡± The first thing that Academician Lin Qu said on the phone was extremely nervous and his tone was a little heavy. The domain name resolution server was a prized possession that had been forcefully snatched from Sunset. It was done with a combination of the right timing and the right people. Everyone wanted to guard it tightly and not let anyone snatch it away. ¡°Sunset is making its move!¡± ¡°What should we do next? How can we make sure the Iceman Project continues?¡± Academician Lin Qu was very anxious. He had thought of all the possible ways. In the end, he realized that there was no way. Should they reason with Sunset? It¡¯s the survival of the fittest. There was a lot at stake. The ones with the biggest guns make the rule. The world had always been run this way, from time immemorial. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, don¡¯t be anxious. I can roughly guess what¡¯s going on¡­¡± Li Chengqian analyzed the information related to Sunset¡¯s new domain name server. ¡°They are now using Northern Han as an experiment to test the stability of the ROM version of the server system, ordinary computer systems, and related software!¡± ¡°If there are no major problems with the experiment in Northern Han, I predict that they will promote their ROM version of the system worldwide!¡± The method of promotion was very simple! Brute force! ¡°Then what should we do now?¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Academician Lin Qu panicked even more. If Sunset was really determined to promote the ROM system, the Iceman Project, which had just made great progress, would immediately become a failure. ¡°Unify all forces that can be united!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll do our best, and leave the rest to God¡¯s will.¡± ¡°Academician Lin Qu, it¡¯s no longer a technology or the internet issue¡­ It¡¯s a political issue.¡± ¡°There¡¯s very little we can do.¡± ¡°We can only wait and see.¡± Academician Lin Qu was stunned, he smiled bitterly because after thinking about it, he realized that what Li Chengqian said was the truth. ¡°I think the Divine Dragon won¡¯t let us down,¡± Li Chengqian assured him. ¡°Now, there¡¯s really nothing we can do except wait,¡± Academician Lin Qu said in a low voice. However, he quickly composed himself and asked Li Chengqian, ¡°About the lithography machine¡­ has there been any progress?¡± Li Chengqian looked at the lithography machine that was operating and didn¡¯t hide the specific progress from him. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, the lithography machine has been assembled and we are now doing a test run!¡± ¡°It will take a little more time to know the exact results of the lithography machine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t matter even if it fails¡­ Wait, you just said that it has been assembled and you are doing a test run? Does that mean that you¡¯ve already installed the DUV lithography machine and started it?¡± Academician Lin Qu finally understood what Li Chengqian meant. His tone was filled with disbelief. ¡°How did you solve the precise measurement and ultra-precision processing issues of the lithography machine?¡± ¡°How did you solve the super-precision motor issue of the lithography machine?¡± ¡°How did you solve the issue of the high-power light source?¡± ¡°How did you solve the issue of the lithography lens?¡± Because Academician Lin Qu was too excited, he spoke very rapidly and asked a few questions one after another. The issues he raised were all areas the Divine Dragon Country was weak in. These were precisely the technologies that the Country didn¡¯t possess and the other countries wouldn¡¯t sell to them. This led to the development of the lithography machine in the Divine Dragon Country being stagnant for many years. Even until now, it could only produce 90 nm lithography machines. ¡°The ultra-precision motor is produced by Huichuan Corporation, a subsidiary of Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°The high-power light source equipment is produced by Aviation Light Source Corporation, a subsidiary of Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°The glass lens of the lithography machine is produced by Special Optics Corporation, a subsidiary of Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°As for the issues of ultra-precision measurement and processing¡­ this is our secret.¡± He didn¡¯t have any ultra-precision measurement equipment at all. Super-precision measurement and processing were done with his bare hands. Of course, he couldn¡¯t tell Academician Lin Qu the truth. Super-precision measurement and processing were actually the core issues in lithography machine production. All the countries were very strict about the confidentiality of related technologies. ¡°I¡¯ll go over to your place today to take a look¡­ I¡¯m asking Mr. Qian from the Integrated Circuits Institute to come along.¡± Academician Lin Qu was excited when he heard Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation. As for the problem of ultra-precision processing and measuring techniques, he did not probe further. He also felt that the ultra-precision measurement and processing technologies were Li Chengqian¡¯s core technologies. He wouldn¡¯t share it casually. When he heard Li Chengqian say that the lithography machine was already doing a test run, he couldn¡¯t help but want to take a look. If the lithography machine was functioning well, Li Chengqian would be able to rectify another shortcoming in the information industry. From now on, there was no need to ask for help from the chip manufacturers. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re always welcome.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and ended the call with Academician Lin Qu. Li Chengqian looked at the time. He had spent almost an hour on the call. Because there was still some time before the chip was produced, Li Chengqian stood up from the sofa and slowly walked out of the factory. The factory was facing the small desert. It was noon. The summer sky was cloudless, and the hot sun was roasting the ground. In the golden desert, an automatic sprinkler irrigation system designed using the intelligent building CAD software had been installed. Tiny mist kept spewing out of the nozzles. Under the sunlight, a beautiful rainbow hung above the golden desert. It was a beautiful sight, like paradise on earth. ¡°So beautiful!¡± Li Chengqian exclaimed. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s really beautiful. It¡¯s a pity that beauty fades especially quickly. When the sun sets a little, this beautiful scene will disappear.¡± Zhang Tianling sounded resentful. ¡°Just like humans, our beauty fades very quickly. If you can¡¯t find someone to admire your beauty¡­ then it will all be wasted when it has faded.¡± Zhang Tianling said, making a hint to Li Chengqian. That night, after she was so frightened by Li Chengqian that she fell to the ground, she was completely exposed! Then¡­ she imagined that Li Chengqian would be turned on by what he saw, and something beautiful would ensue. However, Li Chengqian looked at her as if he was looking at a piece of meat. His eyes were cold and emotionless. He ignored her, turned around and continued reading the information. Zhang Tianling felt aggrieved and indignant. After being treated like this by Li Chengqian, she even began to doubt her charm. However, after carefully examining herself and confirming that she was still smooth and beautiful, she regained some confidence. Then, her unyielding spirit rose, she was determined to seduce Li Chengqian¡­ But the next day, Li Chengqian went to the small desert. She had no chance to deal with Li Chengqian at all. Hearing that Li Chengqian¡¯s work was about to end today, Zhang Tianling came over early in the morning to wait. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t respond to her at all. Instead, he smiled and said, ¡°How are you doing? How are you adapting to your current job?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s not difficult,¡± Zhang Tianling said confidently. Li Chengqian had given her the role of a negotiator. It was not difficult for her. All these years of training had trained her to be able to read people¡¯s expressions. With just one move and a gaze, she could tell what the other party was thinking. Li Chengqian had acquired many companies in order to produce the lithography machine. Zhang Tianling negotiated the acquisition of these companies, saving at least half of the acquisition funds. Chapter 236 - 236 New Information and Announcement 236 New Information and Announcement ¡°By the way, have you gotten your residence permit?¡± Li Chengqian and Zhang Tianling walked by the river. Li Chengqian asked as they walked. ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± A smile appeared on Zhang Tianling¡¯s face when she was asked this question. Divine Dragon Country was famous for being safe, but they were also well known to be hard to get a residence permit. With her status, if she applied for it herself, she would never be able to get a residence permit to stay in Divine Dragon. It was all thanks to Li Chengqian¡¯s network and influence that she was able to get a permit so quickly. ¡°Also, the 1 billion you promised me has been transferred to my account! By this country¡¯s standards, I have now achieved financial independence.¡± Zhang Tianling said with a smile, her eyes filled with satisfaction. One billion yuan was about the same as her original wealth in Sunset. However, the feeling in Divine Dragon was completely different from Sunset. The Divine Dragon Country is very safe, and this made her feel at ease. It was impossible to feel this way in Sunset. With this billion yuan, she could live a luxurious life in the Divine Dragon Country. Even if she didn¡¯t work, she could still enjoy an above average lifestyle. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re satisfied! What are your plans next?¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. In his opinion, it was just transactional between him and Zhang Tianling. He had obtained the DUV lithography machine blueprint, lens, light source, and super precision motor production technologies that Zhang Tianling had. On the other hand, Zhang Tianling escaped her old precarious life of fleeing and hiding. She had also obtained more money than she could ever use in her entire life. As long as Zhang Tianling stayed within Divine Dragon Country and was law abiding. Zhang Tianling would definitely lead a very comfortable life. ¡°I don¡¯t have any plans. I¡¯ll continue working at the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Zhang Tianling raised her chin slightly and said with a smile. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t want me anymore?¡± Zhang Tianling said with a double meaning. Li Chengqian sighed in his heart. What a vixen! ¡°En, as long as you can pass the company¡¯s internal assessment, you¡¯re very welcome!¡± Li Chengqian naturally wouldn¡¯t reply. In fact, he still didn¡¯t completely trust Zhang Tianling. Zhang Tianling was a little disappointed with Li Chengqian¡¯s response. Only Li Chengqian looked at her very calmly from the beginning to the end. Women were like this. The more you flattered her, the more you curried favor with her, and the more you lowered your pride and humbled yourself to accommodate her. The more she disregarded you. As for Li Chengqian, his indifference toward her made her feel that he was different from the others. After the two of them chatted for a while, Li Chengqian saw that it was about time. The results of the test run should be out. He turned around and informed Zhang Tianling, preparing to go into the factory to see how the lithography machine was working. ¡°Li Chengqian, wait¡­¡± Li Chengqian looked at her in bewilderment. Zhang Tianling finally made up her mind to break a piece of news to him. ¡°I¡¯ve received news that Sunset will be making a major move soon!¡± ¡°This operation¡­ will overturn the current structure of the internet.¡± ¡°It will deal a huge blow to the Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about the specifics of the operation. It should be related to the internet.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, you should make preparations in advance. It¡¯s rumored that the Sunset Empire¡¯s operation this time is subversive and destructive. Although I don¡¯t know the exact situation, I think it could be very terrifying.¡± ¡°I know you still have work to do, so I won¡¯t hold you back anymore!¡± After Zhang Tianling finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the car parked by the roadside. Li Chengqian stood at the same spot, frowning. ¡°Destructive, subversive, and also related to the internet.¡± Li Chengqian frowned in deep thought, but he couldn¡¯t figure it out. ¡°Could it be related to their activities in Northern Han?¡± Li Chengqian thought about it, but he still couldn¡¯t guess what Sunset¡¯s plan was. After watching Zhang Tianling drive away, he narrowed his eyes and said softly, ¡°Bai Ze, pay attention to Sunset¡¯s next move¡­ The keywords are subversive, destructive, and the internet!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice came from Li Chengqian¡¯s watch. In the factory, the rumbling of the machines had stopped. Under Bai Ze¡¯s control, the automated chip testing platform was connecting the cut and sealed chips to the test circuit. The testing work had just been completed as Li Chengqian walked into the factory. The relevant data had already appeared on the big screen. ¡°Master, there are 10 silicon chips produced in this test run! A total of 1,680 chips are produced. The chip is the processor chip of the Qilin mobile phone. It is 14 nanometers!¡± ¡°Actual production is 1,680 chips!¡± ¡°After testing, 1,650 chips can be used normally! The passing rate is 98.2%!¡± ¡°There are 30 chips that can¡¯t be used normally. Twenty of them are due to the hardness of the silicon slices. They broke during the cutting, and 10 of them are problems with the ion injection, causing some of the PN knots to be abnormal.¡± ¡°Two hundred silicon slices can be processed per hour! The production speed is the fastest, and it produced about 70 more slices than the most advanced lithography machine.¡± ¡°In the production process, the camera exposure effect is stable, and the efficiency of the light source is stable!¡± ¡°The operation of the workbench is accurate! The error is no more than 0.001 millimeters! It has reached advanced world standards.¡± ¡°A 14-nanometer chip can be mass-produced!¡± ¡°After the test run, it is confirmed that the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has met all standards and is ready for production!¡± Bai Ze provided the test run outcome of the Divine Dragon Model 1 with a cold voice. ¡°Good!¡± Li Chengqian looked at the data and listened to Bai Ze¡¯s report. A smile appeared on his face and he couldn¡¯t help but cheer. ¡°Bai Ze, finalize the production process and design blueprint!¡± Li Chengqian was very excited. He posted a message on Weibo. ¡°From today onwards¡­ the missing chip will be history!¡± ¡°The development of the Divine Model 1 DUV lithography machine has been successful. The 7-nanometer chip can be mass-produced!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 DUV lithography machine can also go into mass production!¡± Below the message, Li Chengqian took a photo of the experimental production data of the lithography machine and posted it together with his Weibo post. Li Chengqian¡¯s Weibo post had just been posted for a minute when it caused a huge commotion on the internet. When many people saw this news, their habitual response was that it was fake news. The 65-nanometer lithography machine developed by the state-owned microelectronics company had been work in progress for five years! The state-owned microelectronics companies had the support of the entire country, and the 65-nanometer lithography machines had not been successfully developed. The Divine Dragon Software Company, a software company, had actually developed the world¡¯s most advanced DUV lithography machine¡­ The Divine Dragon Software Company was number one in the world software industry! However, this time, it was a lithography machine! A lithography machine that had nothing to do with the software industry! Was that even possible? Many people had question marks in their hearts. ¡°Wait for the official news. If it¡¯s true, Li Chengqian, you have my full respect. If it¡¯s false, Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll curse you!¡± ¡°I hope it¡¯s true!¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s true. With Li Chengqian¡¯s status and wealth, if he sends out such fake news, it won¡¯t do him any good at all.¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company, the eternal idol!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys take a closer look? What Li Chengqian meant was that not only can the chip be mass-produced¡­ even the lithography machine can be mass-produced!¡± Almost all the independent media outlets on the internet immediately reposted the news that Li Chengqian had developed a lithography machine. Li Chengqian only posted words and data. There were no pictures or videos! Therefore, many people were skeptical about whether the lithography machine had really been successfully developed. If it was anything else, everyone might not have suspected it¡­ However, this was a lithography machine, the crown jewel of the semiconductor industry! In particular, only three countries in the world could manufacture a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine¡­ As for the more advanced EUV lithography machine, only ASML could produce it. Li Chengqian¡¯s sudden announcement that the Divine Dragon had created a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine was indeed hard to believe. Chapter 237 - 237 Insulted 237 Insulted Not long after Li Chengqian released the information. This message was transmitted to the information department of Sunset. ¡°F*ck, I remember that the Divine Dragon Software Company is an operating system supplier, a software company¡­ Moreover, it¡¯s a company that has just been established. Do they have the ability to manufacture advanced lithography machines?¡± Supervisor Bob was skeptical after receiving the information. ¡°Supervisor, in the first month after the establishment of the Divine Dragon Software Company, the Divine Dragon System was released¡­ Now, the Divine Dragon System has occupied almost the entire market for computers and servers.¡± The staff of the intelligence center reminded him. ¡°Kid, as long as you¡¯re talented enough, you can indeed make a huge breakthrough in software development.¡± ¡°However, one lone genius is useless when it comes to equipment. This requires the strength of a country¡¯s resources.¡± ¡°Divine Dragon¡¯s technology in lithography lens, light source, and precision motors is not good, and they can¡¯t buy the requisite accessories from other countries. It¡¯s absolutely impossible for them to produce a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine,¡± Bob said confidently. ¡°The most advanced photolithography machine they produced is a 90-nanometer lithography machine! That¡¯s trash from decades ago.¡± Bob¡¯s tone carried a sense of superiority. Other than Sunset, the other company that was paying attention to the development of the Divine Dragon lithography machine was ASML Company. ASML is the world¡¯s most advanced lithography machine manufacturing company. The company had set up an information department to track the development of lithography technology and parts worldwide. The information Li Chengqian posted was quickly detected by ASML¡¯s information department. ¡°This piece of information is terrifying and of utmost importance!¡± Louise, the Senior Vice President of Intelligence, said with a solemn expression. ¡°If this message is true, our company might be in danger.¡± Louise was very concerned. Based on past experience with the Divine Dragon, once it made a breakthrough in some technology, it would rely on its national power and cheap labor to start mass production. There would definitely be an impact on the price of the lithography machines. ASML¡¯s cost of production for the lithography machines was very high. If there was a price war, it would definitely not be a match for the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Let¡¯s go and talk to the Vice President of commerce immediately¡­¡± Suddenly, Louise thought of something and his expression became solemn. A few days ago, the National Chip Company of Divine Dragon came over for business negotiations. They wanted to purchase a DUV lithography machine. ASML¡¯s Vice President of international commerce, Chaiter, was a Sunset supporter. He had never had a good impression of the Divine Dragon. Especially when the Doomsday Extortion Virus wreaked havoc a few days ago, the Divine Dragon System became the world¡¯s largest operating system supplier in one fell swoop, knocking Sunset¡¯s pride and the Windows system off its pedestal. His fury towards the Divine Dragon people hit a new high. So¡­ The Divine Dragon only had one option, which was to buy the advanced DUV lithography machine from him. They couldn¡¯t buy it anywhere else even if they wanted to. ASML was running an exclusive business. Naturally, he could ask for the sky. The buyer basically had no bargaining power. ¡­ At this moment, in the international business center of ASML, the National Chip Company and Chaiter were having a new round of talks. Chaiter¡¯s terms this time round were even harsher. ¡°Huang Jun, right? Our DUV lithography machine is priced at 600 million yuan per unit¡­ This price will stay.¡± Chaiter¡¯s attitude was extremely arrogant. ¡°In addition, ASML does not take care of delivery. This is where you can pick up the goods!¡± ¡°Also, you have to pay 100% upfront before you can collect the lithography machine.¡± ¡°In fact, we are taking a huge risk by agreeing to sell the DUV lithography machine to Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°This is our condition¡­¡± Chaiter spread his hands, his eyes filled with pride. Huang Jun of the National Chip Company was furious when he heard the conditions. He was very upset. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore and stood up. ¡°Mr. Chaiter, we agreed before we came that the price of a lithography machine is 300 million!¡± The delivery is within one year, and the location is the port of the Divine Dragon Country. We will pay 70% after the machine has been properly installed and it is operating normally¡­ After two years of normal operation, we¡¯ll pay the rest!¡± ¡°The conditions you¡¯re offering now are completely different from what we agreed previously!¡± ¡°This is not in line with usual business practice!¡± ¡°This is extortion!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t accept these conditions!¡± ¡°I want to see your CEO.¡± Chaiter looked at the furious Huang Jun and the corners of his mouth curled up even more smugly. It was just useless fury! What was the use? In the end, he would have no choice but to accept his terms. Because the Divine Dragon had no other choice. Apart from ASML, no one would sell a DUV lithography machine to them. With a teasing smile, Chaiter shrugged again and said with an exaggerated smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, our CEO is on a business trip. He might not be back for about three months. He can¡¯t see you now.¡± Huang Jun was extremely angry, but he was still suppressing his anger. He maintained the most basic etiquette and said, ¡°Mr. Chaiter, may I ask where your CEO went on a business trip? I can go look for him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the whereabouts of the CEO is a company secret. I can¡¯t tell you!¡± The smile on Chaiter¡¯s face became more and more obvious. He was deliberately making things difficult for Huang Jun. He was playing with Huang Jun! ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, these are out terms!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t accept it, please leave!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not waste each other¡¯s time.¡± ¡°I still have something on. Today¡¯s meeting is over.¡± Chaiter stood up proudly like a general who had won a battle. Then, he walked towards the door decisively. When they were almost at the door, Chaiter turned around and said to the furious Huang Jun, ¡°By the way, if you can¡¯t accept my terms, please don¡¯t come over again¡­¡± ¡°You are only wasting time.¡± ¡°ASML is a top international company. We receive orders from all over the world. I¡¯m very busy.¡± ¡°My time is precious. I don¡¯t have that much time to waste with you,¡± Chait sneered and mocked Huang Jun. Huang Jun clenched his fists tightly, he felt extremely bitter. During his time in ASML, he had often been mocked and insulted. But even so, he could not leave! Because Divine Dragon really needed a DUV lithography machine! As long as they could buy the DUV lithography machine, they would solve the issue of chip production. It was worth it no matter how much grievance and humiliation he had to suffer. He suppressed the grievance in his heart and walked out of ASML with the people from the National Chip Company. Along the way, many employees who knew the situation smiled and whispered. ¡°Oh, look at these Divine Dragon people, they must have been insulted by Vice President Chaiter again.¡± ¡°They¡¯re pathetic!¡± ¡°Vice President Chaiter has a deep prejudice against the people from Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°If I were these Divine Dragon people, I¡¯d shoot Chaiter.¡± ¡°They wouldn¡¯t dare, because they¡¯re begging us to sell them the DUV lithography machine! Once they offend Vice President Chaiter, they¡¯re finished.¡± When Huang Jun and the other employees heard these words, their faces became even longer. Chapter 238 - 238 Not Going Back For Now 238 Not Going Back For Now ¡°President Huang, I really want to kill that bastard Chaiter!¡± Wang Wei, a young employee of the National Chip Company, punched the table after returning to the hotel. His tone was filled with extreme anger. ¡°This bastard is insulting us on purpose!¡± ¡°He¡¯s just trying to embarrass us.¡± ¡°Every time we negotiate, the conditions he proposes will become even harsher.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t want to sell us the DUV photolithography machine at all,¡± Wang Wei said with an upset expression. Huang Jun didn¡¯t say anything. Seeing Wang Wei¡¯s angry look, he sighed. His reaction was exactly the same as Wang Wei¡¯s when he first came here to buy a lithography machine. He was furious! However, he could only capitulate. Because the Divine Dragon Country could not produce DUV lithography machines, they had to buy it from ASML. He had no choice but to capitulate. The selling price of ASML was twice the usual price. He had to accept it. The management of ASML were arrogant and haughty. They had to accept it too. Even if he was deliberately put in a difficult position and humiliated, he could only endure it. The most important thing was to buy the lithography machine and not hold the country back. Personal honor and humiliation were nothing in the face of national issues. He had to endure it no matter what! ¡°Wang Wei, just bear with it for a while!¡± The employee who had been here before sighed. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we suffer some humiliation. The most important thing is to purchase the lithography machine.¡± ¡°They¡¯re insulting us now, but trust me, one day, our country¡¯s technology in this area will develop. At that time, it will be their doom!¡± ¡°They¡¯re deliberately insulting us now. They¡¯re mocking and despising us!¡± ¡°One day, we will pay it back tenfold or even a hundredfold.¡± The old employee¡¯s eyes were extremely firm. At this moment, Huang Jun¡¯s phone rang. Huang Jun looked at the name on the screen and his expression turned serious. ¡°President Wang¡­ Chaiter won¡¯t relent. He insisted on the price of 600 million yuan per unit and even wanted to change the delivery location to ASML. He also asked us to pay in full.¡± Huang Jun¡¯s tone was very heavy, but he didn¡¯t mention the fact that Chaiter deliberately made things difficult and humiliated him. ¡°Huang Jun, you must have suffered the past few days.¡± On the other end of the phone, the voice of the President of the National Chip Company, Wang He, sounded. ¡°No, I¡­¡± Huang Jun quickly denied. ¡°Huang Jun, I went to ASML a few years ago. I know what¡¯s going on. You¡¯ve suffered for the country, for the company, and for our chip production.¡± President Wang¡¯s voice was gentle. After saying this, Huang Jun, an old man in his forties, got teary eyed. Huang Jun held back the bitterness in his heart. He felt warmth and support. ¡°President Wang, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely bring the lithography machine back!¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°You¡¯ll never have to go to ASML again!¡± ¡°Just now, Li Chengqian of the Divine Dragon Software Company made an announcement!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has completed the production of the first 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already called Li Chengqian to confirm it! It came from the horse¡¯s mouth! I¡¯m on my way to the Divine Dragon Software Company right now¡­¡± ¡°Huang Jun, get ready to come home!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a celebratory feast for all of you!¡± ¡°ASML can go f*ck off!¡± At this point, President Wang¡¯s tone changed drastically. It suddenly became abnormally cold. Even after ending the call, Huang Jun still felt uneasy. He felt that he was dreaming. ¡°President Huang, President Wang just said that our country can now mass produce lithography machines?¡± Wang Wei said in disbelief. The other employees also stared at Huang Jun. Just then, Huang Jun¡¯s phone rang. It was a message from President Wang. There was a link in the message. Huang Jun clicked on it. Then, a webpage opened. On the webpage was a message posted by Li Chengqian. After reading the message carefully, his face immediately revealed ecstasy. ¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s true. Our domestic lithography machine has been mass-produced!¡± Huang Jun said with a smile. ¡°Quick, let me see the news.¡± Wang Wei walked over impatiently and looked at Huang Jun¡¯s phone screen. ¡°Damn, that¡¯s great!¡± Wang Wei almost jumped up in joy when he saw the news. ¡°President Huang, we don¡¯t have to be bullied by that bastard Chaiter anymore.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go back today and visit the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Wang Wei was very excited. Huang Jun was also very tempted by this suggestion, but after hesitating for a while, he said, ¡°Wait¡­ Let¡¯s not go back for the time being.¡± ¡°Just in case!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll go back only after President Wang has gone to the Divine Dragon Software Company to confirm this news.¡± To be on the safe side, Huang Jun decided to stay behind to ensure that nothing went wrong. Although Wang Wei and the others were a little disappointed, they were especially supportive and understanding of Huang Jun¡¯s decision. ¡­ Over at ASML, Louise found Chaiter and told him the information she had just received! ¡°President Chaiter, the Divine Dragon Country has completed the development of the 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine!¡± ¡°You have to sign a contract with the National Chip Company immediately. Otherwise, you might lose this order for 22 lithography machines.¡± When Chaiter heard this news, his first reaction was disbelief! Impossible! If the lithography machine could really be developed so easily, Divine Dragon would have developed it long ago. How could it have only been developed now? Chaiter felt that this was fake news deliberately released by the Divine Dragon. It was a conspiracy. Their main goal was to create a sense of crisis for ASML and thus make it easier for Huang Jun and the others to buy ASML¡¯s advanced lithography machine. In his opinion, the backward Divine Dragon Country did not have the ability to produce lithography machines. But Louise clearly didn¡¯t agree with him. After the two of them discussed, they walked towards the hotel where Huang Jun was staying. On the way, Chaiter was still extremely arrogant. ¡°Louise, you don¡¯t have to worry at all. They¡¯ll bend over backwards as long as I agree to sell the lithography machine to them. They¡¯re all a bunch of cheap beggars!¡± ¡°They definitely don¡¯t have the ability to develop and produce lithography machines themselves!¡± ¡°We definitely won¡¯t lose the order¡­ I¡¯ll make more profits for the company from them.¡± Louise shook his head and asked, ¡°Chaiter, don¡¯t be careless. What if Divine Dragon has really made a technological breakthrough and can build a 7-nanometer lithography machine? Have you considered the consequences if the company loses this order because of your arrogance?¡± Chaiter immediately fell silent. Louise heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chaiter finally taking this problem seriously. Before long, the two of them arrived at the door of Huang Jun¡¯s room. Louise glanced at Chaiter, who was deep in thought. He stepped forward and knocked on the door. In the room, when Huang Jun heard the knock on the door, he looked through the peephole on the door and was surprised. ¡°It¡¯s Chaiter and Louise. Everyone, keep the information just now extremely confidential.¡± Huang Jun whispered to everyone. Then, Huang Jun opened the door with a stony face and looked at the two of them coldly. ¡°Huang Jun, my friend!¡± Louise walked in with a smile and greeted Huang Jun very warmly. Chaiter followed Louise in. ¡­ Chapter 239 - 239 Arrival 239 Arrival Tianyi City, at the entrance of the Divine Dragon Software Company! Li Chengqian looked at the three buses parked at the entrance of the company. He was bewildered. In the morning, when Academician Lin Qu contacted him, he clearly said that only the people from the Software Research Institute and the Integrated Circuits Institute were coming. Li Chengqian understood this to mean that there wouldn¡¯t be more than ten people altogether. However, there were at least 120 people in the buses in front of him. ¡°Why are there so many people?¡± Just as Li Chengqian was feeling puzzled, the door of the first bus opened, and Academician Lin Qu quickly alighted from the bus ¡°Li Chengqian, where is the lithography machine? Is it here?¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s tone was very anxious. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, it¡¯s not here. The lithography machine is in the factory in the suburbs,¡± Li Chengqian answered truthfully. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, didn¡¯t you say that only people from the Software Research Institute and the Integrated Circuits Institute were coming?¡± Li Chengqian asked right away. Just as Li Chengqian was asking, a middle-aged man in his 50¡¯s got down from the bus. He was wearing a gray suit and had a gentle smile on his face. After Academician Lin Qu saw President Wang alight, he introduced him to Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, this is President Wang from the National Chip Company.¡± ¡°He brought most of the people here this time.¡± Academician Lin Qu also explained to Li Chengqian the reason why there were so many people. ¡°Hello, President Li. I¡¯m Wang Yizhi. I called you not long ago.¡± President Wang had a learned and refined air. He took the initiative to walk up to Li Chengqian and shake his hand. ¡°Hello, President Wang! Nice to meet you!¡± Li Chengqian reciprocated his goodwill gesture by smiling and shaking hands with Wang Yizhi. ¡°President Li, to be honest, our company really needs a DUV lithography machine now!¡± ¡°I brought so many technicians here this time because I want to have the most comprehensive understanding of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s lithography machine!¡± ¡°As long as your lithography machine meets our technical requirements, we will immediately place an order.¡± Wang Yizhi had no intention of hiding the purpose of his visit. ¡°President Li, why don¡¯t we go look at the lithography machine and talk while we watch? What do you think?¡± Wang Yizhi said after glancing at the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Li Chengqian, come, let me introduce you. This is Academician Ji Cheng, the director of the Integrated Circuits Institute!¡± At this moment, Academician Lin Qu came over with a white-haired but sprightly old man. Academician Ji was the founder of the lithography machine in the Divine Dragon Country. Academician Ji was the biggest reason why the Country was able to develop the 90-nanometer lithography machine. He gave up a cushy life outside and returned to the Divine Dragon Country 20 years ago. He started from scratch and built the foundation for the development and production of lithography machines in the Country. ¡°You¡¯re Li Chengqian, right? You¡¯re indeed a handsome man!¡± Academician Ji walked over with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t flatter me. I¡¯m old¡­ This world belongs to you young people now.¡± Academician Ji laughed heartily. Seeing that Li Chengqian was going to decline his praises humbly, he smiled and continued to say, ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t be humble! I¡¯m really heartened to see that your generation has outdone the older generation, I¡¯m really happy! This proves that each generation is stronger than the last.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, Mr. Ji is a straightforward person! He speaks his mind. He meant his praises of you!¡± Academician Lin Qu explained with a smile. ¡°Academician Ji, you really flatter me¡­ If it weren¡¯t for the foundation you laid, we would be¡­¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to brag. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not flatter each other. That¡¯s boring.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s be direct!¡± ¡°Take me to see the lithography machine. I can¡¯t wait.¡± Academician Ji¡¯s eyes lit up, and his face was filled with excitement. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Let¡¯s go take a look at the lithography machine first.¡± ¡°President Li, please lead the way,¡± Wang Yizhi said. The people from the National Chip Company were still waiting in ASML. He needed to give ASML an answer as soon as possible. Although Wang Yizhi had already received an affirmative answer from Li Chengqian over the phone¡­ Moreover, Wang Yizhi also believed what Li Chengqian said. However, he did not dare to be careless. After all, this matter was very crucial. It would even change the current situation of the entire chip industry. Therefore, he brought many engineers over with him to verify this matter. He wanted to ensure the authenticity of the DUV lithography machine, its performance, and ensure that the lithography machine could really be mass-produced. As long as he confirmed this information, he could safely let Huang Jun and the others come back from ASML. They would no longer need to go and beg the ASML people and to put up with their mean treatment. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji, President Wang, you guys came all the way here. You must be hungry. Why don¡¯t we eat something and rest a little before going over?¡± Li Chengqian suggested. ¡°Let¡¯s go now!¡± The three of them said almost in unison, rejecting Li Chengqian¡¯s suggestion. For them, the most important thing now was to confirm the authenticity of the DUV photolithography machine, its performance, and whether it could be mass-produced. This was extremely important to the Divine Dragon Country! ¡°Fine!¡± ¡­ Under Li Chengqian¡¯s lead, four buses pulled up at the entrance of the factory, on the edge of the small desert. In the extra bus were the relevant department heads from the Divine Dragon Software Company. When the television station heard the news, they also rushed over to take a look. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s lead, everyone filed in and entered the factory. After entering the factory, everyone¡¯s attention was immediately attracted by the huge lithography machine. On the silver surface was the symbol of a majestic golden dragon. Under the logo, ¡°Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine¡± was spray painted on it. ¡°Is this the lithography machine?¡± This was the first time many people had seen an actual lithography machine. They sighed when they saw the machine. ¡°This looks very similar to the DUV lithography machine produced by ASML!¡± The engineers of the National Chip Company looked at the lithography machine and discussed softly amongst themselves. ¡°It¡¯s different. Look at the silicon chip inlet! The location of the lithography room! And this machine is bigger than ASML¡¯s DUV lithography machine! But it¡¯s indeed quite similar to ASML¡¯s lithography machine.¡± Soon, someone discovered the difference. ¡°Most lithography machines in the world are like this. It¡¯s normal for them to look like this. Just like smartphones, the entire world is basically the same.¡± An engineer smiled and said. While everyone was discussing amongst themselves, Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji, and Wang Yizhi stared at the lithography machine. They wanted to reach out to touch it but there was a piece of glass between them and the machine. At this moment, Wang Yizhi finally realized the situation. ¡°President Li, can you let our engineers test the performance of the lithography machine?¡± Wang Yizhi asked excitedly. The others also looked at Li Chengqian, waiting for his reply. ¡°President Wang, no problem!¡± ¡°However, before the test, allow me to introduce the functions of this lithography machine.¡± Chapter 240 - 240 Introduction and Production 240 Introduction and Production Li Chengqian smiled under everyone¡¯s gazes. He walked under the big screen and turned on the microphone and computer. ¡°Welcome to the Divine Dragon Software Company! I¡¯m Li Chengqian.¡± After Li Chengqian made a simple introduction, he pressed a button on the computer. On the big screen behind him, the main parameters of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine were immediately displayed! ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can produce 7- to 90-nanometer chips!¡± ¡°It can adapt to silicon slices 50 to 450 mm in diameter!¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, it can process 300 slices of 450 mm silicon per hour! It can process 216,000 silicon slices per month!¡± Following Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, many people¡¯s eyes widened as they looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. ¡°It can actually adapt to silicon sheets with a diameter of 450 mm!¡± Most lithography machines in the world only supported silicon sheets with a diameter of 300 mm. This was because as the diameter of the silicon sheet expanded, it would be more demanding to control the accuracy of the lithography machine console. Even ASML had very few lithography machines that could adapt to 450 mm silicon slices, and the price was about 30% more expensive than a lithography machine that could adapt to 300 mm silicon slices. The price of an ordinary DUV lithography machine was 300 million yuan, but the price of a DUV lithography machine that could process 450 mm silicon slices would go up to 400 million yuan. ¡°The production efficiency of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is much higher than that of ASML!¡± ¡°The ASML lithography machine can only process 200 slices of 300 mm silicon an hour. The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can process 300 slices of 400 mm silicon an hour.¡± ¡°If converted to 300 mm, the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can process 600 slices of 300 mm silicon in an hour¡­ It¡¯s speed is three times faster than ASML!¡± ¡°If what Li Chengqian said is true, with the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, we can produce 430,000 slices of 300 mm silicon a month.¡± Many people were stunned by the production efficiency Li Chengqian stated. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! We¡¯ve just developed a DUV lithography machine, and it¡¯s already more advanced than ASML¡¯s?¡± Some people were suspicious. ¡°These numbers are too exaggerated!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. If these words didn¡¯t come from Li Chengqian himself, I would have turned around and left!¡± After Li Chengqian gave a simple introduction to the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, he paused. Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of many people, he continued with a smile. ¡°Just now, I introduced the various parameters of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine!¡± Under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes, Li Chengqian¡¯s hand gently tapped on the computer. Immediately, a video started playing on the big screen. The scene on the big screen was exactly the same as the situation in the factory. The image was facing the lithography machine in the lithography room. On the screen, the silicon slices on the workbench were moving quickly. Each time there was a pause after moving, a strong light flashed in the lens above the silicon. In the blink of an eye, a slice of silicon was completed and sent out by the machine. ¡°This is a video clip of the test run done on the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine this morning!¡± ¡°A silicon chip with a diameter of 150 mm was used to produce the Kirin 14-nanometer chip.¡± ¡°The mask of the chip was borrowed from the National Chip Company.¡± Following what Li Chengqian said, a close-up of the mask appeared in the video. ¡°A total of 1,680 chips were produced in this test run. After testing, there were 1,650 good-grade chips¡­ The actual pass rate is 98.2%.¡± While Li Chengqian was speaking, the scene on the big screen turned into the scene of the chip test. ¡°Based on the test run this morning, the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has already reached the most advanced international level in the production of 14-nanometer chips!¡± ¡°As for the other processes, I haven¡¯t conducted any test runs for the time being because there¡¯s no mask!¡± Everyone¡¯s attention was glued to the video from the minute it was played. There were still some discussions in the crowd and some commotion. After Li Chengqian¡¯s video showed the lithography machine working, all the small talk stopped. Everyone looked at the video, afraid that they would miss a scene. Everyone pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss a single word Li Chengqian said. When they heard Li Chengqian say that the pass rate of 14-nanometer chips was 98%, many people were stunned. Especially the engineers of the National Chip Company. When they heard this pass rate, they felt like they had heard a fairy tale. This was because the National Chip Company only achieved a pass rate of 62% in their production of 14-nanometer chips! Don¡¯t think that 62% was a low rate! In fact, this was already the average score internationally! It was not low at all. However, Li Chengqian said that the Divine Dragon Model 1 had achieved a pass rate of 98%. This was an extremely terrifying number. Many people were stunned by what Li Chengqian said! ¡°President Li, is this for real?¡± Even Wang Yizhi, who had always appeared refined and magnanimous, widened his eyes when he heard Li Chengqian say this number. Then, he couldn¡¯t wait to ask. Seeing Li Chengqian nod confidently, Wang Yizhi raised another request. He said tentatively, ¡°President Li, can you let us test the performance of this machine!¡± ¡°Director Wang, no problem!¡± Li Chengqian smiled and nodded. When Wang Yizhi saw Li Chengqian nod without any hesitation, he was certain! Originally, he felt that Li Chengqian was exaggerating to a certain extent. However, when he agreed without hesitation, it proved that he had strong confidence in this machine. Before Wang Yizhi could speak, Li Chengqian smiled and said, ¡°President Wang, test runs take a long time!¡± ¡°Test runs n can only be done at the end.¡± ¡°Let me share the relevant matters first!¡± Wang Yizhi nodded. Anticipation flashed across his eyes. ¡°Of course!¡± He came prepared this time. Not only did he bring all the relevant engineers from the National Chip Company, he had also asked the engineers to bring 120 mm to 300 mm silicon chips. He also brought 10-nanometer, 14-nanometer, 28-nanometer, and 45-nanometer chip masks. He had also brought some of the other materials needed to produce the chips! As long as Li Chengqian agreed to let him do the test runs, he could use the materials he brought to test the true standards of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. ¡°Everyone, we just played a video clip of the Divine Dragon Model 1 photolithography machine test run!¡± ¡°And released the statistics.¡± ¡°Next, I want to tell everyone something that will make everyone feel more at ease.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is 100% domestic machine!¡± After Li Chengqian said this, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with even more disbelief. This was even more shocking than the 98% pass rate. That was because a 100% domestic photolithography machine was not possible at all! The lens, light source, ultra-precision motor! These were challenges that could not be overcome. These were the reasons why the development of lithography machines had not taken off. ¡°What does that mean?¡± ¡°It means that the most important parts of this lithography machine, the lens, the light source, and the motor are all domestically produced!¡± ¡°The ultra-precision motor used in the lithography machine is produced by Huichuan Corporation, a subsidiary of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°The high-power light source equipment used in the lithography machine was produced by Aviation Light Source Corporation, a subsidiary of the Divine Dragon Software Company ¡°The lithography glass lens used in the lithography machine was produced by Special Optics Corporation, a subsidiary of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°The other non-critical parts were all purchased from domestic companies!¡± ¡°This is through and through, 100% domestically produced!¡± ¡°Furthermore, all the parts can be mass-produced¡­¡± ¡°If we commence production with all our might, it won¡¯t be a problem to produce hundreds of machines a year.¡± In fact, the market for lithography machines wasn¡¯t big. Only one to two hundred units were sold a year. It was not as profitable as the operating systems. However, the lithography machine was not just a business! It was also the key to chip production. That was why Li Chengqian had put in so much effort to develop and produce the lithography machine. After Li Chengqian said this, he stopped and looked calmly at the stunned Wang Yizhi. There was a full minute of silence, as if someone had pressed the mute button! Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in extreme shock. In everyone¡¯s minds, there was only one sentence that Li Chengqian had just said. This sentence deeply shocked everyone. ¡°¡±This is through and through, 100% domestically produced! Moreover, we can produce hundreds of units a year!¡± Then, another thought came to everyone¡¯s minds. ASML was probably finished this time! ¡°President Li, is what you said just now true?¡± Wang Yizhi finally recovered and said with a trembling voice. He looked at Li Chengqian anxiously. The others would only think that Li Chengqian was formidable. As for how formidable he was and how it would affect the entire chip industry, they didn¡¯t have much of an idea. Only Wang Yizhi knew the gravity of Li Chengqian¡¯s words and actions! If what Li Chengqian said was true, the entire world order would change. He had broken the chokehold on the chip industry, which was the DUV lithography machine. No country can limit the development potential of the Divine Dragon in integrated circuits any more. Huawei chips that had been banned from production would appear again and lead the world! Moreover, a large number of chips that originally needed to be imported could now be produced in the Divine Dragon Country. After the production cost was reduced, there would be at least 80% cost savings. Now that they had their own production capacity, the structure of the chip industry would likely be changed. In the future, the chips produced by the Divine Dragon would be sold worldwide and bring a large amount of wealth from other countries into the Divine Dragon. Moreover, Li Chengqian had just said that he could produce hundreds of DUV lithography machines a year¡­ In the entire world, the total annual consumption was less than 200 units! Based on the production efficiency of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, as long as the price did not exceed that of ASML¡¯s¡­ In the future, ASML would really have nothing to do with the DUV lithography machine! Chapter 241 - 241 A Little Scary 241 A Little Scary After Li Chengqian gave an introduction on the basic situation of the Divine Dragon Mobile 1 lithography machine, the engineers of the National Chip Company entered the clean room one after another and began to work. The operation of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was very simple. It worked pretty much the same way as the one that was bought from ASML at a high price. Of course, there were also some differences. The interface of the operation changed from the English interface to the full Chinese interface. There were fewer buttons on the interface. This advanced machine could be operated with a simple click. ¡°President Wang, the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can automatically detect the size of the silicon slices. There is no need for any action via the control panel. Even if 300 mm silicon slices are suddenly mixed with 450 mm silicon slices, the machine can correctly identify and process them on its own,¡± Li Chengqian explained. ¡°The system used by the control panel is the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°The chip production and control software was also developed by our company¡­¡± ¡°Our control software can drive the production of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. It can also drive the lithography machines produced by other companies¡­¡± Li Chengqian said thoughtfully. When Wang Yizhi heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s ability in software development was invincible in the world. The control program developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company was more advanced and useful than ASML¡¯s. This was only to be expected. With Li Chengqian¡¯s simple introduction and instruction, the engineers from the National Chip Company quickly mastered the use of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. Then, they began to test the lithography machine according to the test plan that they had discussed in advance. Because there were many tests, and that required a long time, Li Chengqian invited Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and Wang Yizhi to visit the Divine Dragon Software Company. However, all three of them declined! They wanted to watch the entire testing process and record the results. This was too important to them! ¡­ Meanwhile, after Huang Jun welcomed Louise and Chaiter into the room, he looked at the two of them without saying a word. Louise said with a smile on his face, but deep inside, he was anxious. ¡°My friend, I just discussed it with Chaiter¡­¡± ¡°As for the price of the DUV lithography machine, we agree to sell it for 300 million yuan each.¡± As Louise spoke, he carefully observed Huang Jun¡¯s expression and reaction. In the blink of an eye, Louise was now offering the price of 300 million yuan per unit? Huang Jun was unable to adapt to this drastic change. ¡°Wait, they must have gotten the news!¡± Soon, Huang Jun understood the reason why. ¡°Yes, 300 million!¡± Louise answered affirmatively. When Louise spoke, Charter looked very unhappy, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Just as Louise had told him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to bear the consequences if the news from the Divine Dragon Country was true and this business failed because of him. After hearing Louise¡¯s affirmative answer, a bright smile appeared on Huang Jun¡¯s face. ¡°Mr. Louise, this is how a businessman should be.¡± ¡°Before I set off from Divine Dragon, I¡¯d already negotiated a preliminary price of 300 million yuan per unit.¡± ¡°After I arrived at ASML, Mr. Chaiter quoted me a price of 600 million yuan per unit. They also made many unreasonable demands. These were completely different from what we originally discussed¡­ This made me very disappointed.¡± Huang Jun¡¯s voice became cold when he said this. When Chaiter heard this, he looked at Huang Jun with anger in his eyes. Huang Jun¡¯s words on this occasion were a complaint against him. He was accusing him of not being an ethical businessman. He said coldly in his heart, ¡°This yellow monkey! I¡¯ll definitely teach you a lesson!¡± ¡°My dear friend, don¡¯t be upset. You Divine Dragons have a saying, quote a heavenly price, settle on an earthly price. Chaiter is from ASML. He has to answer to the shareholders of ASML.¡± Louise quickly explained. He explained that Chaiter was only trying to defend the company¡¯s interest. ¡°ASML is lucky to have someone as smart as you,¡± Huang Jun replied. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, what do you think of the price I just proposed?¡± Louise sighed in his heart when he saw that Huang Jun didn¡¯t mention ordering the lithography machine. He could only raise this question himself. He already had a very bad feeling! ¡°Mr. Louise, the price you proposed this time is not bad¡­ but what are the other conditions?¡± Huang Jun asked directly. He still didn¡¯t propose to place an order, but asked about the other conditions instead. ¡°The delivery location can only be at ASML! Because you know that our company don¡¯t have the ability to ship the lithography machine to Divine Dragon.¡± On this issue, Louise¡¯s stand was the same as Chaiter¡¯s. Especially after the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the entire world fell into a tense state. There were many warships of powerful countries cruising on the open seas. Louise was willing to bet his last dollar that a cargo ship carrying a DUV lithography machine would definitely not reach Divine Dragon Port. If it wasn¡¯t a shipwreck, it would definitely be detained. ASML couldn¡¯t afford this kind of risk. It was just a small company. It didn¡¯t want to be caught in the big countries¡¯ cross fire. ¡°Secondly, payment must be 100% upfront!¡± Louise and Chaiter felt the same way when it came to the payment terms. Because with the current situation, the possibility of accidents happening in the world had greatly increased. Who would pay for the rest of the amount if there was a conflict and the lithography machine sank into the sea? In order to avoid accidents, the best way was to ask for 100% upfront. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, what do you think?¡± Louise kept looking into Huang Jun¡¯s eyes during the negotiation. He was trying to read Huang Jun¡¯s mind. ¡°I am not agreeable!¡± Huang Jun shook his head directly. ¡°This is different from what we¡¯ve agreed before!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t give you an answer for the time being. I don¡¯t have the authority to decide.¡± ¡°I need to report to my senior management!¡± Huang Jun didn¡¯t reject the terms outright. He gave an ambiguous reply instead. He neither agreed nor refused. After hearing Huang Jun¡¯s ambiguous words, Louise frowned slightly, and the ominous feeling in her heart became stronger. Chaiter originally thought that when the price dropped to 300 million yuan, Huang Jun would agree ecstatically. Even though the place of delivery and the payment terms have changed. However, these issues were not a big problem for the Divine Dragon. under normal circumstances¡­ the Divine Dragon would definitely agree. However, Huang Jun¡¯s answer disappointed him! Huang Jun skirted around the topic. He had no intention of agreeing at all, nor did he mention anything related to placing orders. Coupled with the information Louise had told him previously, he suddenly felt a little chill. It was a little¡­ Scary! Chapter 242 - 242 The Most Critical Question 242 The Most Critical Question In Tianyi City, the testing of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was finally over. The engineers from the National Chip Company tested all the parameters of the machine over 20 hours. Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction on the machine was already shocking enough. But the results of their test were even more shocking than what Li Chengqian had said. The production speed of 450 mm diameter silicon slices reached 360 slices per hour! It was 60 slices more than the 300 slices that Li Chengqian had stated. In a month, the number of silicon chips that could be processed increased by a total of 43,000! The number reached an astonishing 259,000! This production capacity was 1.5 times that of a usual lithography machine! At the same time, through the test, the engineers also discovered something else. If there were no issues with the other production steps of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, the pass rate could reach 99.5%, which was 1.3 percentage points higher than 98.2% as Li Chengqian had stated. Do not underestimate 1.3%. When the number of chips produced was in the hundreds of millions, an increase of 1.3% would allow the products produced to be more competitive. The lithography machine had been operating at full power for 20 hours. The engineers had installed a large number of temperature sensors around the machine. Even when it was operating at maximum power, the highest temperature was only 43 degrees. This temperature ensures that the lithography machine can operate steadily for a long time. In the lithography room, the engineers installed a light source test sensor to record the energy and attenuation of the light source! The result was unbelievably good. The energy attenuation of the light source was very small. Even if it was continuously used, the light source in this lithography machine could be used for at least a year. The usage time was more than two times that of the ASML lithography machine. Wang Yizhi looked worn out. Ever since he came to the factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company, he had never left, nor had he closed his eyes to rest. Although he felt extremely tired, his spirits became higher and higher as he completed the tests one by one. At this moment, the person in charge of this test, Wang Ben, had already sorted out the test reports and was going through them with Wang Yizhi one by one. ¡°¡­ President Wang, after testing, the Divine Dragon Model 1 photolithography machine should be the most advanced DUV lithography machine in the world!¡± ¡°All the benchmarks of this lithography machine have surpassed the ASML DUV lithography machine.¡± Just as the two of them were communicating, Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and Li Chengqian walked in happily. Academician Lin Qu and Academician Ji Cheng were both old and in poor health. They were worried about the health of the two academicians. So the night before, Li Chengqian and Wang Yizhi insisted on bringing them to the hotel to rest. Even so, the two of them woke up before dawn. The two of them were worried about the test results of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. At the break of dawn, they were going to secretly take a taxi to the factory in the small desert. When Li Chengqian realized this, he was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so he could only get up and come over with the two academicians. ¡°Li Chengqian, I think there are only five days left until the university entrance examination¡­ What exactly are you thinking?¡± As he walked in, Academician Lin Qu asked again. All the famous schools in Divine Dragon Country had sent Li Chengqian an admission invitation. The Academy of Sciences did the same. Under Academician Lin Qu¡¯s arrangements, they had long sent Li Chengqian a special admission invitation. It wasn¡¯t only the schools in Divine Dragon Country that had sent Li Chengqian admission invitations. As far as he knew, all the famous universities in the world had sent Li Chengqian invitations too. Everyone was looking forward to Li Chengqian¡¯s response. However, up until now, no school had received a response from Li Chengqian. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, I haven¡¯t thought about it yet! I want to wait until the university entrance examination results are out.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and didn¡¯t dwell too much about this matter. The university entrance examination was Li Chengqian¡¯s greatest regret in his previous life. It bothered him the most. In this life, he had already achieved achievements that he did not even dare to imagine in his previous life. The wealth he controlled was so huge that he could not spend it all in ten lifetimes. Logically speaking, it didn¡¯t matter to him no matter how many points he scored in the university entrance examination. However, he still decided to take the university entrance examination. He wanted to make up for the biggest regret in his previous life. He wanted to do this for himself. ¡°Li Chengqian, no matter how many points you score, the Academy of Sciences will accept you!¡± Academician Lin Qu said with a smile. ¡°Although with your knowledge, we can¡¯t teach you much even if you come to the Academy of Sciences¡­ but us old fellows are still useful. Our words still carry some weight. We can shield you from some storms and allow you to focus on research and technology.¡± Academician Lin Qu said very seriously. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯ve already surpassed us in scientific research and knowledge! But us old fellows are also useful. We can stand behind you and support you!¡± Academician Ji Cheng also nodded solemnly. Li Chengqian could clearly sense their sincerity. He could also feel their protection and¡­ concern! As the ancient saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind! Li Chengqian was too outstanding. He was simply as dazzling as the sun. Especially Li Chengqian¡¯s Divine Dragon Software Company. It had always been Li Chengqian¡¯s alone. A company that could create hundreds of billions of profits a year made many people turn green with envy. In addition, Li Chengqian was only 17 years old. He had no background and gave people the impression that he was easy to bully. This made many people even more tempted. Of course, Li Chengqian was currently carrying out a major task that concerned the development and safety of the country. Many people had been warned, so they did not dare to take action. The Divine Dragon System, the domain name server, and the lithography machine that was currently being developed! These were all national issues. Whoever dared to cause trouble would be in trouble! Once all these strategic goals were completed, the development of the Divine Dragon Software Company would stagnate, and it would not be so important to the development of the country. Many greedy vampires would then pounce on Li Chengqian and suck his blood. ¡°Thank you for your guidance and instruction!¡± Li Chengqian naturally knew the hidden meaning in their words. He shook his head and still didn¡¯t agree. In fact, he understood the situation even better than Academician Lin Qu and Academician Ji Cheng. After all, Bai Ze would gather relevant intelligence on the internet round the clock. Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Academician Lin Qu sighed with a face full of regret. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what this kid is thinking.¡± ¡°However, regardless of whether he comes to the Academy of Science or not, if he encounters any difficulties, I still have to help if I can.¡± As they spoke, they walked towards Wang Yizhi. When Wang Yizhi saw the three of them walk over, he immediately put down the test report in his hand. He stood up excitedly and rushed over to Li Chengqian. The way he looked at Li Chengqian was filled with admiration. After Wang Yizhi greeted the two academicians, he looked at Li Chengqian and said anxiously, ¡°President Li, your company is really amazing!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine has been tested and completely meets the requirements of the National Chip Company!¡± ¡°However, I still have a few last questions that I need to verify with President Li.¡± ¡°President Wang, please speak.¡± Li Chengqian nodded and smiled. ¡°First question, how much are you prepared to sell this lithography machine for?¡± Wang Yizhi stared straight at Li Chengqian. ¡°The second question I want to ask is, what is the production quantity of the lithography machine? Can you let us take a look at the production company for the light source, lens, and ultra-precision electric motor?¡± After testing, Wang Yizhi had already confirmed that the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine completely met the needs of the National Chip Company. It was more advanced than the company¡¯s original lithography machine. It was more advanced than the lithography machine that the company was preparing to order from ASML! There was no problem with the quality of the machine. Now, as long as he confirmed the production of the lithography machine and whether it could really be mass-produced, he could make the next decision. As long as he could obtain a definite answer from Li Chengqian, he could let Huang Jun and the others return directly. Chapter 243 - 243 Reversal of Roles 243 Reversal of Roles The two questions that Wang Yizhi asked were what everyone was concerned about. It was related to the next strategic move of the Divine Dragon. If the Divine Dragon Software Company couldn¡¯t produce enough, they would still have to import the lithography machines. If the Divine Dragon Software Company could produce enough to meet domestic needs, there would be no need to import. This way, their strategy toward some countries could be changed. After so many years, it was time to change roles. They would no longer be held ransom because of the advanced lithography machines. The reason why he asked about the key components of the lithography machine was also because of this consideration. ¡°President Wang, the first question¡­¡± ¡°The tentative price of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is 200 million yuan per unit!¡± Li Chengqian had actually considered the price long ago, even though this prototype had cost him 300 million yuan. However, all the equipment for this prototype was custom-made and extremely expensive. If it was mass-produced, the cost would be much lower. After comprehensive calculations, the production cost of a lithography machine would not exceed 60 million yuan. Even if it was sold for 200 million yuan, it was already very profitable. When everyone present heard the price Li Chengqian mentioned, their eyes widened and their breathing became hurried. Wang Yizhi asked very excitedly, ¡°President Li, are you serious?¡± Ever since he started working for the National Chip Company, he had never encountered such a cheap lithography machine. ¡°Yes!¡± Li Chengqian nodded affirmatively. ¡°Great, that¡¯s great! This way, our company originally planned to use 10 billion yuan to purchase 30 DUV lithography machines this year. As long as the price is reduced to 200 million yuan per unit, we can increase the number of DUV lithography machines we purchase to 50.¡± Wang Yizhi was very excited. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I got carried away¡­ President Li, please continue!¡± Wang Yizhi was very excited. Then, he realized that he had gotten carried away. He hurriedly apologized, and allowed Li Chengqian to continue. ¡°President Wang, the second problem you mentioned just now is the production of the lithography machines.¡± ¡°Based on the current situation, if we devote all our resources, we can produce about 50 units a month. I think 50 units a month should be enough to satisfy your company¡¯s needs,¡± Li Chengqian replied with a smile. If there was a need to step up the production capacity, Li Chengqian could do it any time. ¡°It¡¯s enough, it¡¯s enough!¡± Wang Yizhi was all smiles after hearing this. ¡°President Wang just mentioned that we need to take a look at the production factory for the core components.¡± Li Chengqian understood what Wang Yizhi was worried about! Was it difficult to assemble the lithography machine? It was a little difficult! However, to the Divine Dragon Country, this difficulty was nothing. It could be overcome. The lens of the photolithography machine, the light source, the ultra-precision motor! These three were the most critical problems in lithography machine production. Wang Yizhi mentioned that he needed to take a look at the production factory for the core components to confirm if the Divine Dragon Software Company had really mastered the production technology for the core components. Only by mastering the production technology of the core components could the problem of being held ransom be completely resolved. ¡°No problem at all!¡± ¡°However, the factories for the three core components are not in Tianyi City¡­¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and spoke to Zhao Na, who had been following him. ¡°Director Zhao, please bring President Wang and the others to take a look at the three factories next.¡± ¡°Okay, Boss!¡± After a long period of training, Zhao Na had already become very mature and competent. She toned down her charm and sexiness on formal occasions. She was now a confident and capable business executive. ¡°President Wang, Director Zhao will be with you for the rest of the trip.¡± ¡°Director Zhao is in charge of the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s equipment manufacturing. In the future, she will be in charge of the manufacturing of the lithography machine,¡± Li Chengqian explained. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction, the two of them smiled and shook hands. As Wang Yizhi was in a hurry, he quickly left the factory under Zhao Na¡¯s lead to visit the core equipment production factory. Academician Lin Qu and Academician Ji Cheng were very excited when they received the test report issued by the National Chip Company. No matter how Li Chengqian tried to persuade them to stay, it was useless. They wanted to go back. ¡­ ¡°Huang Jun, it has been confirmed that the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s DUV lithography machine is functioning very well and is very advanced!¡± ¡°To be safe, we are now on the way to confirm the core components of the lithography machine, the lens, the light source, and the ultra-precision motor.¡± ¡°You can come back once we have confirmed that we can produce these key components!¡± ¡°It will be very soon. Wait for another day.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work!¡± After reading the message from Wang Yizhi, Huang Jun passed his phone round for everyone to read the message. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°According to President Wang, the production of the 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine by the Divine Dragon Software Company should be close to the mark. We are almost there!¡± ¡°The lithography machine has finally been domesticated! I don¡¯t have to be bullied by ASML anymore.¡± Everyone was very excited after reading the message. ¡°Alright, everyone, don¡¯t say anything and don¡¯t leak this news.¡± Huang Jun put away his phone with an excited expression. ¡°Just in case, we need to wait another day.¡± ¡°In a day, it will be time for us to leave.¡± The Dragon Dragon Software Company had even manufactured a lithography machine. Generally speaking, they would not lie when it came to the production of core components. Wang Yizhi went to take a look personally just to be sure. However, Huang Jun had already thought of the outcome of Wang Yizhi¡¯s visit. There definitely wouldn¡¯t be a problem. ¡°Wang Wei, call the consulate and ask them to book a flight back tomorrow.¡± Huang Jun began to make arrangements. ¡°Alright, President Huang!¡± Just as Huang Jun was making arrangements, there was another knock on the hotel door. It was Louise and Chaiter again. ¡°My friend, yesterday you said that you needed to report the situation to the company. I wonder if your company has considered it?¡± Louise said with a smile, but there was anxiety in his eyes. The National Chip Company wanted to buy 22 lithography machines this time. This was a major deal. If this deal went through, it would be almost one-third of ASML¡¯s annual income. In the past, both Louise and Chaiter felt that the National Chip Company had no other choice but to buy the DUV lithography machine from ASML, so they were not in a hurry at all. Therefore, their attitude was arrogant. They raised the price sky high and also set other harsh conditions. They were even verbally rude to the procurement staff. But it was different now. Even though they didn¡¯t receive any new updates from the Sunset Empire, but combined with Huang Jun¡¯s attitude¡­ They had thought of many things! The Divine Dragon Country had definitely made a huge breakthrough in the field of lithography machines. ¡°Mr. Louise, the company said that they still need to consider it! I can¡¯t give you an answer for the time being,¡± Huang Jun replied indifferently. ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± Louise frowned slightly. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, I heard a piece of news that your country has made a major breakthrough in lithography technology! You¡¯ve developed a domestically-produced DUV lithography machine. I wonder if it¡¯s true.¡± Louise looked into Huang Jun¡¯s eyes when he probed. ¡°I know only as much as you do. I¡¯ve heard the news, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true.¡± Huang Jun was still lukewarm as he answered Louise¡¯s question indifferently. Louise told him what he had prepared beforehand. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, you know that ASML is an old player in the lithography machine industry. Our products are bestsellers worldwide. The quality of our products has been recognized by all users.¡± ¡°The lithography machine is the core equipment in chip production. If the quality of the lithography machine is unstable and the product quality is flawed¡­ It¡¯s a fatal problem for a chip contracting company.¡± ¡°It would be a huge loss to the company.¡± ¡°Regardless of whether the Divine Dragon has developed a lithography machine or not, even if it has really been developed, there will always be problems with the equipment produced by a start-up company¡­ The quality is unstable. That¡¯s a common problem.¡± ¡°There¡¯s another common problem, which is that it¡¯s very expensive. They need to distribute the development cost of the lithography machine to the equipment.¡± ¡°Therefore, even if you have developed a domestically-produced DUV lithography machine, I still suggest that you adopt our ASML products considering the price and quality.¡± Seeing Huang Jun frown slightly, Louise was delighted. He felt that his words had worked. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, I know that you¡¯ve had some bad experiences since you arrived at ASML.¡± ¡°We sincerely apologize for our oversights.¡± When Louise said this, he looked at Chaiter. His meaning was obvious. He wanted Chaiter to step forward and apologize. In the past, the National Chip Company only had one choice, and that was ASML. Therefore, no matter how much they insulted or made things difficult for the employees of the National Chip Company, no matter how harsh the conditions were or how infuriating they were, the employees of the National Chip Company could only put up with them. But it was different now! Now, the National Chip Company had a new choice. ASML was no longer the only choice. A 22-machine, ten billion yuan order was at stake! Huang Jun had the last say! Now, it was ASML¡¯s turn to beg Huang Jun! When Chaiter saw Louise¡¯s gaze, his eyes were filled with anger and humiliation, unwillingness and resentment. ¡°Chaiter, show our friend how sincere we are.¡± Louise¡¯s voice was a little cold. After he went back the day before, he immediately reported the situation and his speculations to the company¡¯s CEO. After that, Louise was tasked to conduct the negotiations with the National Chip Company. At the same time, Chaiter was asked to work with Louise. Moreover, the CEO had already announced that if the business negotiations fall through this time, Chaiter would have to take responsibility for it and pay the price! Therefore, even if he was very unwilling, even if he felt aggrieved and humiliated, he could only suppress the anger in his heart. On Louise¡¯s signal, he stood up and apologized to Huang Jun and the others. This would demonstrate ASML¡¯s sincerity. ¡­ Chapter 244 - 244 Not Qualified 244 Not Qualified Chaiter suppressed the anger and humiliation in his heart and stepped forward to Huang Jun with a long face. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯ve made many unreasonable demands of you recently!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve not been ethical by raising the price of the lithography machine.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong!¡± Huang Jun was vindicated. When Wang Wei and the others heard Chaiter¡¯s apology, most of their unhappiness dissipated. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Mr. Chaiter? What are you talking about? You are speaking too softly. I didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± Huang Jun acted as if he didn¡¯t hear clearly. When Chaiter heard Huang Jun¡¯s words, his eyes almost spewed fire. Although his apology was not loud, it could definitely be heard clearly by everyone in the room. Huang Jun must be deliberately humiliating him when he said that he couldn¡¯t hear him. ¡°You¡­¡± Chaiter¡¯s eyes were screaming murder. He was like a ferocious beast that picked on his victims. He glared at Huang Jun. Huang Jun sneered and looked at Chaiter fearlessly. In the past, he had only given Chaiter face because of the lithography machine. Fear had never existed from the beginning. ¡°Mr. Chaiter, can you speak louder?¡± Huang Jun looked straight into Chaiter¡¯s eyes. His tone was cold and mocking. When Chaiter heard this, he was furious. He wanted to give Huang Jun a deadly punch on the spot. ¡°Mr. Chaiter, you have to be more sincere in your apology. You can¡¯t let our clients be dissatisfied. The CEO has instructed you.¡± Louise interrupted at the right time to remind Chaiter to watch himself. In fact, Louise didn¡¯t like Huang Jun¡¯s behavior either. Huang Jun was already insulting Chaiter now. However, Huang Jun held the order for the 22 lithography machines.This was one-third of ASML¡¯s annual income. He had to think of a way to secure the order. When Louise thought of this, he felt that Chaiter asked for it. Wembide, ASML¡¯s CEO, had already negotiated the deal with Wang Yizhi of the National Chip Company. The price of a single unit was 300 million yuan! Huang Jun came over mainly to discuss the payment and delivery terms. However, after Huang Jun came over, Chaiter deliberately made things difficult for him and also humiliated him. Not only did he increase the price of the lithography machine, he also proposed some very harsh terms. Originally, the contract should have been signed a month ago. But it had been delayed until now. Chaiter had to be responsible for the current problem! When Chaiter heard Louise¡¯s reminder, he was visibly upset, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger. There was humiliation in his voice as he lowered his head and apologized to Huang Jun. ¡°Mr. Huang, I¡¯m sorry!¡± ¡°What happened earlier was all my fault!¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Huang Jun had a vindicated smile on his face. When the others saw Chaiter lower his head, they also felt very pleased. It was as if they had eaten an ice pop on a hot day. This feeling was even stronger when they thought about what happened in the past. In the past, Huang Jun had a favor to ask of him as he needed to buy a lithography machine from him. Therefore, Chaiter had always been very domineering and arrogant. He had never even looked Huang Jun and the others seriously in the eye. ¡°Mr. Chaiter, to be honest, you¡¯re a very unpleasant person.¡± ¡°You deliberately made things difficult for me and deliberately insulted me.¡± ¡°However, I¡¯ve never taken you seriously!¡± Huang Jun said coldly. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, you¡¯re a magnanimous person!¡± Louise stood up and flattered Huang Jun. Huang Jun smiled, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. ¡°No, Mr. Louise, you¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never been a generous person!¡± ¡°There is a reason why I didn¡¯t take Mr. Chaiter to heart.¡± ¡°Actually, the reason is very simple!¡± ¡°Chaiter isn¡¯t qualified at all!¡± ¡°In my eyes, he¡¯s just an ant. He¡¯s just an ant that someone placed in ASML to deliberately irritate us Divine Dragons.¡± ¡°When the winds change, Chaiter will be the first to be abandoned.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if he was made to take the blame or to appease us.¡± ¡°How can I take such a tool seriously?¡± Huang Jun sneered and said mercilessly. ¡°Actually, Mr. Chaiter, it¡¯s all thanks to you deliberately making things difficult for us this time¡­¡± ¡°Otherwise, this order, this 10 billion yuan order, might already have been yours!¡± ¡°Fortunately, your tactics delayed us for a month, giving us a new choice.¡± Huang Jun smiled when he said this. These words were simply heart-wrenching! After Chaiter heard Huang Jun¡¯s words, he was raging. He clenched his fists tightly, and his face turned red. However, although anger was showing on Chaiter¡¯s face, there was also anxiety, helplessness and fear hidden in his eyes. Although he clenched his fists tightly, he did not make a sound. The way he looked at Huang Jun seemed very fierce, but in fact, under the fierceness, he was filled with despair. If Huang Jun¡¯s words reached the ears of the company¡¯s senior management. He would suffer immensely. He looked at Louise nervously, as if he had seen a lifebuoy. His eyes were filled with pleading, hoping to hear a different answer from Louise. He, Chaiter, was not a tool! He, Chaiter, was not an abandoned pawn. Neither was he a tool that ASML had sacrificed in order to appease the Divine Dragon. The order was not lost because of him, Chaiter. Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, Louise didn¡¯t even look at Chaiter, let alone speak up for him. Chaiter¡¯s face instantly turned pale! He broke out in cold sweat when he thought of the possible consequences. Louise¡¯s gaze had been focused on Huang Jun, his eyes filled with surprise. Because what Huang Jun said was almost exactly the truth. However, there were some things that everyone knew in their hearts. There was no need to say it out loud. He asked Chaiter to apologize to Huang Jun to appease his anger. Now that he had apologized, it was time to get down to business. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, Chaiter has apologized sincerely to you just now,¡± Louise said with a serious expression. ¡°Next, I want to talk to you about the lithography machines.¡± After all Louise had done, his ultimate goal was the order for the lithography machines. ¡°Mr. Louise, I can already feel your sincerity!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always emphasized that I don¡¯t have the right to make decisions. I¡¯ll report what you said today to the senior management of my company.¡± ¡°My senior management will decide whether or not to use the ASML lithography machines,¡± Huang Jun replied indifferently. Now, the roles were reversed. They have gone back to the normal procurement process! He, Huang Jun, was the buyer. He was the real boss and the one with the money. Louise frowned imperceptibly, feeling a little nervous. Huang Jun effectively did not say anything. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, please explain the situation to your company. ASML is an established lithography machine manufacturer. Our quality and service are the best. In this world, no company can compare to us¡­¡± Louise bragged endlessly about ASML¡¯s strengths. ¡°Louise, it¡¯s late now. We still have to eat! Let¡¯s talk about the order tomorrow.¡± Huang Jun didn¡¯t want to listen to Louise¡¯s nonsense and made an excuse. He meant that he wanted Louise to leave. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, you¡¯ve been here for a while. Although our country¡¯s cuisines are not as varied as the Divine Dragon, we do have some specialties. Let¡¯s go. I know a very good restaurant¡­ I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Louise was stunned at first, then immediately greeted them even more warmly. Huang Jun and the others had been in ASML for a month! This was the first time an employee of AMSL had taken the initiative to buy them a meal. Previously, they were the ones who took the initiative to treat Chaiter to a meal. Chapter 245 - 245 Contract 245 Contract In actual fact, Huang Jun wasn¡¯t keen on having a meal with Louise at all. But he finally agreed on second thought! This was because Wang Yizhi had yet to send any final update. Although he felt that there would be no problem with the results of the inspection. Since Li Chengqian dared to say that he was able to mass produce the key components domestically. That must be true. Because there was no need for Li Chengqian to lie. The lithography machine holds an extremely important strategic position in chip production. However, the market for lithography machines was not big! The profit margin wasn¡¯t too high. For a world-class giant like ASML, it actually didn¡¯t make much profits in a year, ten billion at the most. As for Li Chengqian, he was already the overlord of operating systems. Operating systems alone could bring Li Chengqian hundreds of billions of yuan in profit in a year. Would Li Chengqian ruin the reputation of the Divine Dragon Software Company for the sake of ten billion yuan in profits a year? This was obviously impossible! However, to be safe, just in case, he still needed to maintain his relationship with Louise. If something happened to the Divine Dragon Software Company, they could still buy a lithography machine from ASML as long as they maintained their relationship with Louise. Moreover, after this incident, Huang Jun believed that the people of ASML would no longer dare to be arrogant in front of him. Even if he bought a lithography machine from ASML, the price would be affordable. Those who came over would never be humiliated again. Under Louise¡¯s lead, everyone filed out and walked towards the most upscale restaurant in town. Chaiter walked at the back of the crowd with a long face. He was like a joke. No one greeted him or exchanged pleasantries with him. When Wang Wei and the other young people passed by Chaiter, they sneered. Although Wang Wei and the others didn¡¯t speak, it was all written on their faces. Chaiter¡¯s face turned even paler. He carefully recalled what Huang Jun had said. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Other than the National Chip Company, no other company in the world could place such a big order for this batch of lithography machines. These lithography machines were stored in a high end, clean room warehouse. They needed to be maintained regularly. In the past year, it had cost ASML almost 50 million yuan. If the contract was signed with the National Chip Company, even if this batch of goods could not be transported away for some reason¡­ The losses would be borne by the Divine Dragon Country. ¡°He¡¯ll kill me and tear me to pieces.¡± In an instant, Chaiter was drenched in cold sweat. ¡°No¡­ It can¡¯t be! The Divine Dragon Country definitely hasn¡¯t mastered the production technology of the lithography machine. Even if they have, they can¡¯t mass-produce it!¡± Chaiter kept consoling himself. ¡°If the Divine Dragon Country had already mass-produced the lithography machine, Huang Jun and the others wouldn¡¯t have stayed here to chat with us. They would have definitely gone back.¡± ¡°Therefore, I still stand a chance.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon people might be waiting for us to lower the price or¡­ to sweeten the deal!¡± After Chaited consoled himself, he felt much better. ¡°I have to sign the contract¡­ I can¡¯t let them go. Otherwise, CEO Wembide won¡¯t let me off. The company¡¯s shareholders won¡¯t let me off either.¡± Thinking of this, Chaiter bent down slightly and forced a smile on his face. He jogged after Wang Wei, keeping his posture very humble. There was no longer any arrogance on his face, and there was even a trace of subservience. ¡­ The day after visiting the component factories, Wang Yizhi appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s office under Zhao Na¡¯s lead. He had a smile on his face. ¡°President Li, I¡¯ve visited all the component factories!¡± ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied!¡± After confirming that all the components were produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company, Wang Yizhi¡¯s last concern was eliminated. Just as Li Chengqian had said, the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was 100% domestically made. The only regret that Wang Yizhi had was that he didn¡¯t see the lens polishing of the lithography machine. However, he already had enough confidence based on what he saw. ¡°I¡¯m here today to confirm the purchase contract with you, President Li.¡± Wang Yizhi was straightforward and went straight to the point. ¡°Regarding the price of a single lithography machine, can you give me a discount? Can we pay in installments?¡± When Li Chengqian heard Wang Yizhi¡¯s questions, he felt a headache coming on. ¡°President Wang, please wait a moment. Zhao Na will be in charge of the equipment factory. I¡¯ll only look at the final outcome. I won¡¯t participate in any commercial negotiations.¡± ¡°Zhao Na, please take over the negotiations. I¡¯m making a trip to school first. The university entrance examination is tomorrow. My examination pass is still with Teacher Wang Jianjia.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t give Wang Yizhi a chance to speak at all. After saying that, he quickly disappeared in a flash from the office. ¡°What did President Li say? He¡¯s taking the university entrance examination tomorrow?¡± When Wang Yizhi heard this, his jaw almost dropped and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Based on external estimates, the wealth that Li Chengqian controlled had already reached 400 billion yuan. He was now the top 40 wealthiest man on earth, and the third wealthiest man in the Divine Dragon Country! With so much money and the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian was actually still going to take the university entrance examination? ¡®Well¡­¡¯ ¡°Actually, we¡¯ve tried to persuade him, but President Li¡­ the university entrance examination has a special place in his heart. After all, he¡¯s still a student now. Perhaps he wanted to end his high school career on a good note,¡± Zhao Na explained with a smile. ¡°President Wang, let¡¯s talk about the lithography machine.¡± The legal consultant Zhao Na brought along sat on the opposite side of Wang Yizhi, and they began to discuss the contract. After three hours of negotiation, the contract was finally finalized. The National Chip Company placed an order for 46 Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machines from the Divine Dragon Software Company! The purchase price was 200 million yuan per unit! The delivery timeline was half a year! Eighty percent was payable upon the signing of the contract. The remaining 20% would be payable after the machines have been installed and are up and running. ¡°Director Zhao, you¡¯re really a tough negotiator!¡± Wang Yizhi stood up with a bitter smile. He realized that after three hours of negotiation, the conditions had not changed. ¡°President Wang, we¡¯re a local high-tech company of Divine Dragon Country. You should support us!¡± ¡°I heard that the DUV lithography machines you bought from ASML are not as good as our company¡¯s. The price is even 100 million yuan higher than ours.¡± ¡°In terms of service, it can¡¯t be compared to us at all.¡± ¡°President Wang¡­ Really, if President Li hadn¡¯t already said that the price of a machine is 200 million yuan, I wouldn¡¯t have sold it for less than 300 million yuan,¡± Zhao Na said assertively. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. You win! The way you are putting it, I¡¯m starting to sound like an evil businessman.¡± Wang Yizhi said with a bitter smile. He finally knew how capable Zhao Na was. If he let Zhao Na continue, he might really sound like a traitor who betrayed the country¡¯s interests. ¡°President Zhao, can you ask President Li when he will be back?¡± ¡°I think the purchase of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine this time is a big deal for the National Chip Company. It¡¯s also a big deal for the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also a big deal for the country!¡± This meant that in the field of lithography machines, the Divine Dragon Country was no longer being held ransom by others. ¡°I think it¡¯s very necessary to hold a press conference for the signing of the contract!¡± ¡°Use the press conference to announce some performance indicators of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine to the outside world. Also, announce to the outside world the future development plan of the National Chip Company,¡± Wang Yizhi said with a profound gaze. After obtaining this batch of lithography machines, the production capacity of the National Chip Company could double. Moreover, after obtaining this batch of machines, the National Chip Company would be able to produce more advanced chips! In the past, the National Chip Company could only produce 10-nanometer chips. It was a known fact that they couldn¡¯t purchase higher end lithography machines at all. Even if they place the order, they would not be able to transport it to the factory of the National Chip Company for various reasons. In order to break through this limitation, the National Chip Company had done a lot of work. For example, Huang Jun was tasked to go to ASML to purchase a more advanced 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine. However, there was no need for that in the future! This was because a better lithography machine was now available domestically As long as the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was installed in the factory of the National Chip Company, the production of the 7-nanometer chip could immediately begin. With the enhanced 7-nanometer production technology, there would be an explosion of advanced chips in the Divine Dragon Country. In terms of mobile phones, Huawei-related chips could be produced again. Chapter 246 - 246 Press Conference 246 Press Conference Eight o¡¯clock in the evening, in the conference room of the Wanhaoda Hotel. All the authoritative media outlets of the Divine Dragon Country were present. All the famous internet media and tech media had also set up their cameras and equipment, facing the rostrum. At the back of the rostrum was a screen. A line of words was now displayed on the screen. ¡°National Chip Company Lithography Machine Procurement Contract Signing Press Conference!¡± As the press conference wouldn¡¯t start until 8:30pm, many reporters started chatting after they had installed their equipment. ¡°The day before yesterday, Li Chengqian just posted the news of the successful development of the lithography machine online. Today, the National Chip Company is signing a contract with the Divine Dragon Software Company. The country¡¯s support for the Divine Dragon Software Company is really amazing.¡± ¡°What are you talking about? Could it not be that the lithography machine produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company is very good?¡± ¡°Tsk, the Divine Dragon Software Company is a software company. It doesn¡¯t sound reliable for them to produce lithography machines. I think the National Chip Company will definitely not order a lot of lithography machines from them this time. This is just a gesture of support only.¡± ¡°I heard that the procurement team of the National Chip Company is still in ASML! They haven¡¯t returned yet. And yet they suddenly announced the successful development of the lithography machine and that the machine can be mass-produced. They have also arranged this contract signing press conference. Think carefully and you will understand.¡± There were also people who thought about the news that Huang Jun and the others were still in ASML and had yet to return. They immediately had a different conclusion. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Many people looked thoughtful when they heard this news. The purpose of holding a press conference now was clearly to make ASML feel pressured. This was a way for the National Chip Company to bargain for a lower price. Just as everyone was chatting, the formally dressed Wang Yizhi and Li Chengqian walked to the rostrum with smiles on their faces. The two contracts were placed in front of Li Chengqian and Wang Yizhi. The two of them quickly signed and exchanged the documents. ¡°President Li, thank you! Thank you for your support!¡± Wang Yizhi shook hands with Li Chengqian excitedly. ¡°President Wang, you¡¯re too polite. I¡¯m the one who should thank you for your support.¡± Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed by Wang Yizhi. After deducting the production cost, he could still earn about 150 million yuan for every lithography machine. He had earned 7 billion yuan for 47 lithography machines. When the reporters below the stage heard Wang Yizhi¡¯s words, they were a little stunned. Logically speaking, it should be Li Chengqian thanking the National Chip Company for their support. Why was Wang Yizhi thanking Li Chengqian instead? This didn¡¯t make sense at all. The contract signing ceremony was a show, a show put up specially for ASML. The National Chip Company wanted to use contract signing to pressure ASML. This would allow procurement work at ASML to proceed smoothly. ¡°Is everyone very curious about the scale of our contract this time?¡± After letting go of Li Chengqian¡¯s hand, Wang Yizhi looked at the reporters below the stage and asked loudly. ¡°That¡¯s right! President Wang, can you share with us?¡± ¡°President Wang, how many lithography machines did you order from the Divine Dragon Software Company? Can you explain in detail?¡± ¡°President Wang, may I ask what are the specific performance parameters of the lithography machines that you have purchased from the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± ¡°President Wang, may I ask why you purchased the lithography machine from the Divine Dragon Software Company this time? Is it because you wanted to support domestic production?¡± Wang Yizhi was already used to such a scene and dealt with it very calmly. Wang Yizhi raised his hand. ¡°Everyone, quiet down!¡± ¡°I will answer all your questions today.¡± Wang Yizhi clapped his hands, and a number appeared on the big screen behind him. Forty seven units! When they saw this number, the reporters were stunned. ¡°Wait, what does that mean? Forty seven units. Is that what you mean?¡± ¡°No way. He ordered 47 units at one go?¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has just developed lithography machines. How long will it take to produce these 47 lithography machines?¡± Wang Yizhi was not surprised at all when he saw the surprise on the reporters¡¯ faces. ¡°Reporters, friends, we signed a contract to purchase 47 Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machines from Divine Dragon Software!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine. It can be used for chip production from 7 to 90 nanometers!¡± Upon hearing this, the reporters quietened down and everyone became excited. ¡°Big news, this is big news!¡± ¡°Damn, the Divine Dragon Software Company actually produced a 7-nanometer lithography machine! Is Li Chengqian human?¡± ¡°A major breakthrough has been made in the domestic lithography machine. A 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine has been successfully developed!¡± A headline had already appeared in someone¡¯s mind. Under everyone¡¯s excited gazes, Wang Yizhi continued. ¡°The Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can produce 50 mm to 450 mm silicon slices!¡± ¡°The production efficiency is 300% higher than similar products!¡± ¡°In terms of production quality, the test runs have confirmed that the yield of the chips produced using the Divine Dragon Model 1 photolithography machine has reached 99%. Compared to similar products, the yield is higher by 30%!¡± After Wang Yizhi finished speaking, all the reporters were shocked. ¡°What Wang Yizhi means is that the lithography machine produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company is even better than ASML!¡± ¡°Heavens, how is this possible!¡± ¡°How can the Divine Dragon Software Company be so powerful! Not only did they break through the foreign chokehold on operating systems, but they also made such a huge breakthrough in the field of lithography machines.¡± ¡°Actually, what I want to know the most now is how long will it take for the 47 lithography machines that the National Chip Company purchased from the Divine Dragon Software Company to be delivered and fully productive?¡± ¡°This time, ASML is in trouble!¡± Wang Yizhi seemed to know what everyone was most concerned about. He said unhurriedly, ¡°According to the contract, the delivery deadline for this order of lithography machines is half a year!¡± ¡°The delivery deadline for the first batch of 10 lithography machines is one month!¡± ¡°In other words, the National Chip Company will be able to produce 7-nanometer chips no later than half a year later!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll also use everyone¡¯s platform to make a call out. The National Chip Company is accepting orders now for 7-nanometer chips. Interested parties can call to enquire.¡± ¡°As for the price of the photolithography machine, which everyone is most concerned about¡­ President Li, can you tell us the price?¡± Wang Yizhi looked at Li Chengqian. Everyone¡¯s gazes shifted to Li Chengqian. At the same time, all the cameras turned to Li Chengqian. ¡°There¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be said! The price of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is 200 million yuan each!¡± Li Chengqian stated the price without hiding. ¡°That¡¯s too cheap! Compared to the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine, ASML¡¯s machine is a pile of sh*t. Their price is 300 million yuan per machine!¡± ¡°I finally understand why President Wang had to thank Li Chengqian at the beginning! He only sold such a good machine for 200 million per unit. This is a really friendly price.¡± Many people immediately understood why Wang Yizhi wanted to thank Li Chengqian at the beginning. ¡°Is Li Chengqian a god? How did he do it?¡± ¡°I seriously suspect that Li Chengqian is making a loss! I¡¯m afraid that 200 million yuan per unit won¡¯t even cover the production cost.¡± There were also professionals from related industries who were puzzled. This was because ASML¡¯s production cost was very transparent. The cost of a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine was about 250 million yuan! ASML had been in this industry for many years. It was the market leader and had very powerful bargaining power. Divine Dragon Software Company had just entered this industry. The cost of the related components would definitely not be too cheap, not to mention the research and development cost. Especially in terms of lenses, light source, and ultra-precision electric motors, the Divine Dragon Software Company must have spent a lot of money to buy them. ¡°President Li, aren¡¯t you making a loss with the price of 200 million yuan?¡± someone asked bluntly. Li Chengqian smiled and then answered the question, ¡°My dear reporter friend, no one would cut a losing deal!¡± ¡°At 200 million yuan per unit, it is still profitable for the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Because all the components of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine are domestically produced! We have mastered the core production technology!¡± ¡°The camera, the light source, and the ultra-precision motor are produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± These components did not seem to account for much, but in fact, they were the key to the lithography machine and account for the bulk of the cost. Because the technology was extremely difficult, only a few companies in the world could produce it, causing the price to be terrifyingly expensive. The cost of the lens was about 100,000 yuan, but the price was 50 million yuan! It was the same for the light source and the ultra-precision motor. The premium was not tenfold, but hundredfold! Chapter 247 - 247 Sensational 247 Sensational The National Chip Company and the Divine Dragon Software Company signed a contract to purchase lithography machines. The contract signing ceremony was livestreamed. After the internet media realized the significance of the event, they did special writeups and promoted the livestream. The press conference, which wasn¡¯t widely followed initially, instantly became the top trending topic, surpassing all the other entertainment news. The number of viewers watching the livestream instantly soared from more than a hundred thousand to tens of millions. ¡°F*ck, the Divine Dragon Software Company is awesome! They have actually developed a lithography machine!¡± ¡°And it¡¯s a 7-nanometer lithography machine!¡± ¡°The National Chip Company has ordered 47 lithography machines in one go!¡± ¡°The performance of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is much better than ASML¡¯s.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve made another major breakthrough in key areas. Congratulations to the National Chip Company and the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Awesome, my country is awesome, Divine Dragon Software Company! From now on, we will no longer be held ransom by the chips.¡± ¡°ASML will be the biggest loser!¡± ¡°ASML deserves it. I saw the relevant reports online. They said that ASML¡¯s people were very arrogant and deliberately made things difficult for our country¡¯s procurement staff. They increased the price of the lithography machine by more than three times and even made many harsh demands.¡± ¡°Our country can now produce our own lithography machines. We definitely don¡¯t want to have any more business dealings with companies with bad service attitudes and commercial credibility.¡± The netizens were discussing it very enthusiastically. Most of them were very excited and happy. They expressed their blessings and joy in their comments at the bottom of the video. Some people felt relieved and excited. In order to import the 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine, the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s procurement staff had suffered humiliation and insults. Even so, they still could not purchase many advanced lithography machines. Now that the Diviner Dragon Software Company had developed and mass-produced lithography machines, this grievance would become history. The Divine Dragon people did not need to bow down to anyone just to buy a lithography machine. At the same time, with the lithography machine, the production of advanced chips could also be localized. Most chips did not need to be imported and could be produced domestically. It could be said that the lithography machine developed and mass-produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company had changed the world order of chip production. It would have a huge impact on the entire information industry. ¡°I feel so good to see this news!¡± ¡°From now on, we won¡¯t be controlled by anyone in chip production.¡± ¡°The 7-nanometer power management chip designed by our company can finally be produced. I want all foreign companies of the same nature to go bankrupt in half a year.¡± ¡°We¡¯re a chip design company. From the looks of it, we don¡¯t have to go overseas to beg for help with the chips we design in the future. That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°The design of our Unisoc 7-nanometer chip has been completed. Its performance exceeds Fire Dragon 888+. It¡¯s in urgent need of production!¡± ¡°Huawei¡¯s 7-nanometer mobile phone chip design is successful. Its performance exceeds that of the M1 chip. We¡¯ll immediately contact the National Chip Company to collaborate with them.¡± ¡°Our Huatian Corporation¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re from Long Xin Chip Company. If the PC processor we designed is designed and produced based on 7 nanometers, its performance will immediately increase to the level of the 11th-generation I5. It can support all software applications. Long Xin and the Divine Dragon System will be paired together, and complete the domestic replacement of the computer. In the future, Windows, Google, Linux, Apple, AMD, Intel won¡¯t have a share of this market.¡± The ordinary netizens were very excited. They were overjoyed that the country had become stronger. For the relevant companies in the chip industry, they quickly reported the situation to the company¡¯s senior management and also contacted the National Chip Company immediately. After receiving an affirmative answer, all the companies were overjoyed. All along, the relevant companies of Divine Dragon Country were very good at designing. They could design the most advanced chips in the world! However, what was the use of designing it? No company in the country could produce advanced chips below 10 nanometers. Foreign chip contracting companies would not produce chips for them at all. Therefore, even though there were advanced design plans, the production couldn¡¯t be carried out. They could only design outdated chips with 14 and 10 nanometer technologies. In terms of performance, it naturally could not compare to Fire Dragon Company. Therefore, the chips produced by the Divine Dragon Country could only be used on low-end machines. After the National Chip Company¡¯s batch of lithography machines was put into use, the situation would immediately change. Not only did the Divine Dragon Country have the ability to design advanced chips, it also had the ability to produce it. ¡°Good, that¡¯s great. From software to hardware! We¡¯ve replaced all the components of the computer! The safety of the country is finally guaranteed.¡± At the Academy of Sciences, Academician Ji Cheng and Academician Lin Qu were also watching the livestream. After hearing Wang Yizhi¡¯s introduction, although they had already known about the situation, they were still ecstatic. ¡°That¡¯s because advanced chips can¡¯t be manufactured domestically. The chips we import from abroad consume three trillion yuan a year! In the future, this amount will be greatly reduced, to at least two trillion yuan. If this amount is used to improve the livelihood of the people, it will bring a huge change to the country.¡± The people in charge of the country¡¯s trade balance exclaimed excitedly as they watched the livestream. ¡°Very good. In the future, when Sunset comes to negotiate with us, they will have one less trump card! With our country¡¯s current development speed, Sunset will soon run out of tricks!¡± Some of the senior officials said with a smile after reading the relevant reports. The entire country was overjoyed because of this seemingly simple press conference. This livestream was immediately picked up by the intelligence personnel of other countries. Then, the intelligence personnel forwarded the link to the livestream to their country. Most countries were shocked when they saw this news. They took the news seriously and reported the relevant information to the highest level without any delay. ¡°The Divine Dragon Country has made a major breakthrough in the field of lithography machines!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Country has the production capacity of 7-nanometer lithography machines. We have another option if we need to purchase lithography machines in the future.¡± ¡°The production capacity of the National Chip Company has been greatly improved. It can now produce more advanced chips. If you need them in the future, you can contact the Divine Dragon Country for the production of chips.¡± ¡°Sunset is no longer the only player in many aspects! If Sunset can do it, the Divine Dragon can do it too. In the future, please consider all factors carefully in international strategic decisions.¡± There were also some countries that had a good relationship with the Divine Dragon Country. After hearing the news, they immediately contacted the relevant departments to ask about OEM production and the sale of lithography machines. There were also a very small number of countries who were very shocked when they heard the news. They found it hard to believe the news! Especially Sunset and Blue River Country! Chapter 248 - 248 Ridicule 248 Ridicule It was the wee hours of the morning in Blue River Nation. Huang Jun and the others were extremely excited as they gathered to watch the livestream. ¡°That¡¯s great! It¡¯s finally confirmed!¡± Wang Wei said excitedly. ¡°Buying 47 units directly. Our company¡¯s production capacity has doubled this time!¡± Huang Jun said excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s awesome. I heard from President Wang that the performance of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine is miles ahead of ASML! The production capacity is higher, and the quality is also better.¡± ¡°Damn it, I won¡¯t have to be bullied by ASML anymore!¡± ¡°Previously, I was still thinking that if the domestic lithography machine failed, I would have to contact ASML to make the purchase¡­ so I was very polite to the people of ASML.¡± ¡°Heh, from now on, I¡¯ll treat them the same way they treated us in the past.¡± Wang Wei sneered. The Divine Dragon Software Company had already mass-produced a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine. There was no need to ask ASML for help in the future. This way, he didn¡¯t have to worry about anything else! He could vent all the frustration he had accumulated in his heart. ¡°President Huang, when do you think we should go back?¡± Tang Jianan, an old employee, asked anxiously. His wife had just given birth to an adorable daughter. He got on the plane after receiving the order, before the child was born. He really wanted to go back and hug his daughter now. However, before President Wang¡¯s press conference, he had never raised this question. ¡°Xiaotang, we¡¯ll go back tomorrow! When we get back, we can have your daughter¡¯s baby shower,¡± Huang Jun replied affirmatively. Wang Yizhi¡¯s press conference was very simple. From the signing of the contract to the end of the introduction, the whole process took less than 20 minutes. Everyone stared fixedly at the press conference. Wang Yizhi spoke frankly and confidently. There was confidence and pride on everyone¡¯s faces. ¡°I knew it. Nothing in this world can stump our Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°We Divine Dragon people are the smartest people in the world. It¡¯s just that we¡¯ve been held back by war for the last 300 years, causing our technological development to lag behind.¡± ¡°Now, we¡¯ve started to show our strength. In just a few decades, we¡¯ve reached the peak again and become the power to lead the world.¡± ¡°It¡¯s precisely because our rapid development has threatened the status of certain countries that they are trying to curtail us,¡± Huang Jun said heartily. ¡°However, it¡¯s all in vain. All the technology in our country will be like the lithography machine and the operating system! It will surpass everyone and lead the entire world,¡± Huang Jun said confidently. ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s early in the morning. Everyone, go get some sleep. Our flight is about 2 p.m.¡± Huang Jun looked at the time on his phone and began to make arrangements. ¡°Tomorrow, we¡¯ll go back to Divine Dragon Country. We are going home!¡± ¡°In fact, I also want to see what the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine looks like!¡± Huang Jun said excitedly. ¡°Alright!¡± Under Huang Jun¡¯s arrangement, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective rooms. However, no one could fall asleep. Therefore, everyone gathered in Huang Jun¡¯s room again at the break of dawn. ¡°Has everyone packed up?¡± Huang Jun said with a smile when he saw that everyone had brought their luggage. Just as Huang Jun was chatting with his colleagues and preparing to go out for breakfast, Louise appeared outside Huang Jun¡¯s room with Chaiter. ¡°F*ck, these damn yellow monkeys don¡¯t care about business credibility at all! They clearly had a good discussion with us, but they turned around and signed a procurement contract with the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± Chaiter¡¯s tone was filled with anger, but hidden in his anger was infinite fear. ¡°Chaiter, shut up! If you didn¡¯t deliberately make things difficult for Huang Jun and the others when they came over, we would have signed a contract with the National Chip Company long ago!¡± Louise was visibly upset and his tone was extremely cold. Chaiter had to be 99% responsible for the National Chip Company not purchasing the lithography machine for ASML! The two of them chatted in low voices as they knocked on the door. They spoke very warmly. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, my dear friend, it¡¯s me, Louise.¡± ¡°Mr. Louise? What¡¯s the matter?¡± After Huang Jun opened the door, he saw Louise and Chaiter. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and his tone was cold. ¡°My friend, I¡¯m here to invite you to taste our Blue River Nation¡¯s specialty breakfast with us. I know a small shop that serves really good food. It¡¯ll definitely leave a deep impression on you.¡± The smile on Louise¡¯s face didn¡¯t change at all, and his voice was still very enthusiastic. ¡°Mr. Louise, I have good news to share with you. Our country has already completed the development and mass production of the lithography machine! The performance is better than your company¡¯s, the price is lower, and the service is better than your company¡­¡± Louise couldn¡¯t maintain his enthusiastic smile any longer. His smile became very awkward. Chaiter¡¯s expression was already upset to start with. Then he became even more upset. He glared at Huang Jun, his eyes shooting daggers. It is unkind to rub salt on one¡¯s wound. Huang Jun was simply rubbing his nose in it. He said it on purpose to upset the two of them. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I forgot. This is not good news for you. It¡¯s bad news,¡± Huang Jun said with a smile. Louise couldn¡¯t maintain the smile on his face any longer. Anger and humiliation flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed this emotion. He lowered his head and took a few seconds to compose himself before looking up again with a warm smile on his face. ¡°Yes, this is indeed bad news for us¡­¡± Louise revealed a bitter expression. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Jun. Huang Jun looked at Chaiter, who was visibly upset, and said gratefully. ¡°Really, Mr. Chaiter, thank you very much!¡± ¡°The National Chip Company didn¡¯t sign the purchase contract with ASML because of you!¡± ¡°If we had signed the procurement contract, the National Chip Company might not have the budget to purchase the lithography machines produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Because of you, we managed to purchase more lithography machines that are of better quality!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a good man¡­¡± ¡°You could even be said to be a benefactor of the National Chip Company!¡± When Huang Jun first spoke, everyone was a little stunned. After hearing Huang Jun¡¯s words, everyone understood. Chaiter broke out in a cold sweat when he heard what Huang Jun said. His face turned pale, and extreme fear flashed in his eyes. How was Huang Jun praising him? He was clearly out to do him in! ¡°Don¡¯t you agree, Mr. Wembide?¡± Huang Jun looked behind Louise and Charter with a faint smile on his lips. In fact, Wembide had already arrived when Huang Jun started speaking. ¡°What? Mr. Wembide? Are you trying to scare me?¡± Chaiter was scared out of his wits because Wembide was the CEO of ASML! He used to be a mercenary, which was why he was domineering and ruthless. Chaiter was extremely shocked. His eyes were filled with horror. He trembled as he turned around and looked behind him. Coincidentally, he saw Mr. Wembide in a blue suit. He had white hair, a lean body, and a cold expression. Instantly, Chaiter¡¯s body went limp and he couldn¡¯t even stand up. He collapsed to the ground. ¡°President, why are you back?¡± When Louise saw that it was really Wembide, he quickly walked over to greet him. Chapter 249 - 249 Too Late 249 Too Late ¡°President Huang, welcome to ASML!¡± Wembide didn¡¯t even look at Louise and Chaiter. He walked straight up to Huang Jun and greeted him solemnly. ¡°Hello, CEO Wembide,¡± Huang Jun replied. His voice was calm, as if he was meeting any ordinary person. ¡°President Huang, I¡¯ve received news that you¡¯ve already purchased 47 photolithography machines from another company. This is regrettable news.¡± Undisguised disappointment was written on Wembide¡¯s face. ¡°I also heard that it is the Divine Dragon Software Company that is supplying you with the lithography machines.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company is a great company, but they¡¯re a start-up company. They¡¯ve been established for no more than three months.¡± ¡°Their technology in the software industry is indeed solid, but they¡¯re just a software company. Is the lithography machine produced by their company really reliable?¡± ¡°Is it possible for a company that has never worked in the relevant field and doesn¡¯t have the relevant technicians to complete the development of a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine in three months?¡± Wembide was blunt and pointed out the crux of the issue. ¡°President Huang, we are all clever people. There are some things that don¡¯t need to be said clearly!¡± A faint smile appeared on Wembide¡¯s face. It was a sinister smile, a smile that sent shivers down one¡¯s spine. ¡°My man has gone too far this time. Don¡¯t worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation.¡± As Wembide spoke, he glanced at Chaiter. His eyes were cold and murderous. There was also a cruel smile on his lips. Chaiter trembled when he saw this. A large amount of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead and body, and his eyes were filled with extreme fear. ¡°President, please spare me!¡± ¡°Everything I do is for the company!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any selfish motives, President. You can¡¯t do this to me.¡± Chaiter¡¯s tone was teary. His voice was mournful as he begged Wembide to spare him. Chaiter was terrified when he saw Wembide¡¯s cold eyes and emotionless expression. He felt helpless. Then, as if he had thought of something, he crawled to Huang Jun and knelt down in front of him. He kept kowtowing. ¡°President Huang, I was wrong! I was wrong. Please, spare me. Please spare me. I won¡¯t dare to do it again!¡± Chaiter was filled with endless regret and extreme fear. He knew that only Huang Jun could save him now. Moreover, he knew that the Divine Dragon people were soft-hearted and cared about their reputation. He put down all his arrogance, gave up all his dignity, and knelt in front of Huang Jun to beg for mercy. Based on what he knew about the Divine Dragon people, they might forgive him. As long as he survived, he would have a chance to make a comeback. ¡°If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place!¡± Huang Jun said coldly. The others standing behind Huang Jun felt much better when they saw Chaiter crying. In the past month, Chaiter had deliberately made things difficult for them. They had only put up with him because they wanted the lithography machines. It was precisely because Chaiter deliberately made things difficult for them that the procurement contract couldn¡¯t be signed for a long time. In the end, ASML lost this ten-billion-dollar procurement contract. Therefore, everyone felt that Chaiter deserved it. ¡°Take him away! He is an embarrassment to ASML. We¡¯ll deal with him slowly when we get back,¡± Wembide said coldly. After Wembide gave the order, two burly men stepped forward. The two of them had sinister smiles on their faces as they dragged Chaiter away like a rag doll. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, let¡¯s talk about our collaboration next!¡± Wembide¡¯s expression did not change at all as he said calmly to Huang Jun. ¡°About what, Mr. Wembide?¡± Huang Jun asked with a shrug. Wembide frowned. Then he replied, ¡°Discuss the procurement contract for the lithography machine!¡± ¡°Mr. Wembide, the National Chip Company no longer has any plans to purchase lithography machines this year,¡± Huang Jun said with a smile. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, we can discuss the situation openly. If I¡¯m not wrong, the purchase contract you signed with the Divine Dragon Software Company and the lithography machines are fake!¡± ¡°You want to use this opportunity to apply pressure on our company!¡± ¡°Secondly, you want to use this press conference to tell Sunset that you¡¯ve already mastered the manufacturing of the lithography machine. From there, Sunset will lift its restrictions on your country importing lithography machines.¡± ¡°I have to say that this is a genius idea and a good strategy!¡± ¡°This method can fool the eyes of everyone in the world¡­ but it can¡¯t fool me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also made enquiries with the light source, lens, and ultra-precision motor manufacturers. They haven¡¯t received any orders from the Divine Dragon Software Company. Moreover, they¡¯ve also asked their peers. No one has received any orders from the Divine Dragon Software Company either.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I need to explain what this means.¡± A smug smile appeared on Wembide¡¯s stony face. The smile looked very sinister, making people feel fear. ¡°The core components you mentioned are all produced in our country, so there¡¯s naturally no need to order them from overseas,¡± Huang Jun said confidently. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. It¡¯s not that I look down on you, but your country doesn¡¯t have this production and processing ability at all, especially on the lens of the lithography machine. Your country will still need at least ten years of hard work to produce a qualified 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine lens.¡± A trace of disdain flashed in Wembide¡¯s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smug smile. ¡°President Huang, let¡¯s not beat around the bush!¡± ¡°The current situation is very simple. We want to sell our 7-nanometer lithography machine. You want to buy it!¡± ¡°Previously, the deal could not be closed because of Chaiter.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯m back!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll seal this deal at the normal price. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With your country¡¯s press conference as a cover, our contract can be kept a secret. We¡¯ll only announce it to the public next quarter.¡± ¡°We have 27 lithography machines. As long as you transfer the money over, you can immediately take the lithography machines away. We will also cooperate with you to transport the lithography machines.¡± ¡°The price of the lithography machine is still the price we agreed on previously, 300 million yuan per lithography machine! I¡¯ll also give you a 20% discount for the subsequent service fee, it would be 800,000 yuan per year!¡± Wembide was very domineering, and there was an extremely powerful aura in his tone. Huang Jun and the rest looked at Wembide with amusement. Then he shook his head. If only Wembide had stepped forward from the beginning, if he had been so sincere from the beginning. If ASML hadn¡¯t been so high and mighty in the beginning. If ASML hadn¡¯t made things so difficult in the beginning. This deal would have been concluded long ago. Now. It¡¯s too late. Chapter 250 - 250 Threat 250 Threat Huang Jun said with a smile under Wembide¡¯s gaze. ¡°Mr. Wembide, I¡¯m sorry!¡± ¡°We no longer plan to purchase it this year.¡± ¡°If your company would like to supply lithography machines to the National Chip Company, please check on the company¡¯s official website next year and respond in time.¡± ¡°We will consider your product if your price, quality, and service are competitive.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already purchased 47 7-nanometer DUV lithography machines this year!¡± ¡°We have no further need!¡± When Wembide heard Huang Jun¡¯s answer, the smug smile on his face disappeared. He became visibly upset. He looked at Huang Jun with shock and disbelief. He had always felt that the procurement contract signed by the National Chip Company and the Divine Dragon Software Company was just a smokescreen. It was a way to apply pressure on ASML and a ruse to distract Sunset. He really did not expect all of this to be true. ¡°President Huang, is what you said true?¡± Wembide¡¯s voice became low and hoarse. He looked straight at Huang Jun. ¡°What I said, Mr. Wembide, is of course true.¡± Huang Jun did not show any signs of weakness. He looked straight at Wembide, his eyes calm. Huang Jun knew very well that Wembide was not a good person. If not for his instructions, would Chaiter really dare to treat such a major client like them this way? Even a fool knew the answer. Seeing that the National Chip Company had signed a procurement contract with another company, they realized that the situation is out of control. At this moment, they were anxious and wanted to step up to salvage their relationship. Huang Jun only had two words for them, fat chance! ¡°But¡­¡± Huang Jun deliberately slowed down, and Wembide¡¯s eyes lit up. He thought that things had turned around and looked at Huang Jun excitedly. Huang Jun saw that everyone¡¯s attention was on him, so he continued, ¡°There is still a possibility of the National Chip Company collaborating with ASML.¡± Hearing this, Wembide looked a little better. ¡°For example, in the field of 3-nanometer EUV lithography machines¡­ President Wembide, what do you think? If you¡¯re willing to sell 3-nanometer EUV lithography machines to the National Chip Company, I¡¯ll immediately call the company¡¯s headquarters. I¡¯ll definitely facilitate this transaction,¡± Huang Jun said with a smile. Wembide¡¯s face hardened. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, are you kidding me?¡± Wembide said coldly, his eyes deadly looking. The EUV lithography machine was the most advanced lithography machine. It was a high-tech product and export to the Divine Dragon Country was absolutely banned. Huang Jun clearly knew that no matter how much money he offered, ASML would not sell the EUV lithography machine to the National Chip Company. He still brought up this topic nevertheless, it was obvious that he was teasing him. ¡°Mr. Wembide, I sincerely want to buy the EUV lithography machine! You don¡¯t have to worry about transportation. Coincidentally, the Divine Dragon¡¯s fleet is on the ocean, hundreds of kilometers away from here. We can enter the territorial waters of the Blue River Nation in half a day. As long as the machine is loaded on the Divine Dragon¡¯s fleet, no one can take it away.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think so, Mr. Wembide?¡± Huang Jun¡¯s tone was extremely cold. He looked straight into Wembide¡¯s extremely aggressive eyes without any intention of backing down. This was a threat, a blatant threat. There was no concealment at all! Previously, there was only one reason why he tolerated ASML, Chaiter, and Wembide. It was so as to purchase a lithography machine! It was to solve the problem of the country¡¯s bottleneck. Now that 7-nanometer lithography machines could be produced in the country, this problem had been completely resolved. There was no need to continue capitulating to Wembide. Huang Jun wanted to teach Wembide a lesson. He had never been afraid of ASML. With the strength of the Divine Dragon Country, the Divine Dragon people didn¡¯t have to be afraid of anyone in any country! No country had such power. Wembide was enraged, and his gaze became even colder. He wished he could execute Huang Jun on the spot. However, Huang Jun had just said that the Divine Dragon¡¯s fleet was on the ocean and not far from here. These words shocked him, and there was deep concern hidden in the depths of his eyes. The Divine Dragon¡¯s fleet was very powerful. If they really angered the Divine Dragon, even though it was just a fleet, they could destroy Blue River Nation. The Divine Dragon really had such power! Although Huang Jun¡¯s words were blunt and aggressive, but¡­ they were true! Although Huang Jun might not be telling the truth, would Wynbit dare to take a gamble? He didn¡¯t dare! After thinking about it, Wembide looked at Huang Jun with a cold and wary gaze. ¡°Mr. Huang Jun, I was just joking with you. Don¡¯t take it too seriously.¡± ¡°If your company needs a DUV lithography machine, you can contact us any time! The EUV lithography machine can¡¯t be sold to the National Chip Company.¡± Wembide suppressed the anger and grievance in his heart. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Huang Jun, but his expression had always been very ugly. He could not pretend at all. Huang Jun listened calmly with a smile on his face. ¡°Louise, let¡¯s go!¡± Wembide said to Louise, who was standing at the side, worried. Louise¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He followed Wembide nervously. He could already hear the anger in his voice. Wembide can be very scary when he was infuriated. ¡°Oh no, Huang Jun threatened Wembide just now. Wembide is furious, but he doesn¡¯t dare to show it to the Divine Dragon people. After all, the Divine Dragon¡¯s fleet is in the ocean, but this anger will definitely be vented¡­¡± ¡°I have to think of a way to leave. I can¡¯t let him vent his anger on me.¡± As soon as Wembide left Huang Jun¡¯s sight, the calmness on his face disappeared. His expression became extremely ferocious as he punched the wall. There was a loud noise. He had knocked off a piece of the wall. At the same time, he broke his hand and was bleeding. ¡°F*ck, you damned Divine Dragon people! Don¡¯t be smug! One day, when you fall into my hands, I¡¯ll make you regret the day you were born!¡± ¡°Divine Dragon people, you won¡¯t be able to be smug for long! Soon, your good days will come to an end.¡± Wembide was summoned by Sunset because of a plan. It was a terrifying plan that could stagnate or even regress the development of the Divine Dragon. The plan was currently in the preparation stage. Once it was implemented, the world would collapse and the situation in the world would instantly change. In front of Wembide, Chaiter¡¯s mouth was taped, and his hands were tied behind his back. He was tightly restrained by two burly men. His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were filled with infinite fear. ¡°It¡¯s you, you bastard! You ruined my business and caused our company to lose this huge order.¡± ¡°You deserve to die!¡± Wembide walked over and slapped Chaiter hard across the face. Chait wailed in pain. His teeth were all knocked off by Wembide. ¡­ As soon as Wembide left, Wang Wei laughed and gave Huang Jun a thumbs up. ¡°President Huang, well done! Smooth!¡± ¡°Director Huang, awesome!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t see Wembide¡¯s face. It was so long! He clearly wanted to flare up and hit someone, but he didn¡¯t dare. He could only bear with it. That look on his face. I can only describe it with one word! Pleasing!¡± ¡°The ASML people have bullied us. President Huang has given it back to them.¡± ¡°Damn it, the people of ASML. They¡¯re extremely arrogant and think they¡¯re somebody. To be honest, without the lithography machine, they¡¯re just ants in our eyes.¡± ¡°President Huang, well done! We want them to know that our fleet can destroy them at any time. Let¡¯s see if they still dare to be arrogant.¡± Everyone was very excited. ¡°By the way, President Huang, where did you get the information on the fleet out in the ocean? Why don¡¯t I know?¡± Wang Wei asked curiously. ¡°Hehe, this is a national secret, so I can¡¯t tell you.¡± Huang Jun chuckled and said. In truth, there was no fleet at all. Even if there was, it was not something he could know about. He was just spouting nonsense about the fleet. It was just a lie to scare Wembide and put him back in his place. However, The Divine Dragon Country was too powerful compared to Blue River. Even if it was a lie, the entire Blue River couldn¡¯t take it lightly. Chapter 251 - 251 Fatal Plan 251 Fatal Plan Sunset Empire. The Assistant saw the intelligence report submitted by the intelligence department. His expression immediately turned grim. According to the information in front of him, the National Chip Company and the Divine Dragon Software Company had signed a procurement agreement to purchase lithography machines. Huang Jun and the others¡¯ behavior in the Blue River Nation were all recorded. In the last part of the report, the intelligence personnel analyzed that the Divine Dragon Country had already mastered the ability to manufacture an advanced lithography machine. This would pose a huge challenge to the strategy set by Sunset. ¡°Damn the Divine Dragon Country, they won¡¯t stop for a moment! They just created the Divine Dragon operating system¡­ Now, they¡¯ve completed the development of the lithography machine!¡± The Assistant¡¯s expression was extremely solemn, and he became even more vigilant against Divine Dragon. ¡°Fortunately, Sunset has been tightly controlling the high-tech industry all these years, preventing advanced technology from flowing into Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°But even so, the development of the Divine Dragon is about to reach a point where it can¡¯t be suppressed.¡± After thinking for a long time, the Assistant¡¯s expression became even more serious. Divine Dragon had made a huge breakthrough in the field of lithography this time. In the future, he would no longer be able to suppress Divine Dragon using the chip and lithography machine! As a result, the cards that Sunset had to deal with the Divine Dragon became fewer and fewer! This was something that the senior leaders of Sunset didn¡¯t want to see. Sunset had to control everything and stand at the highest peak in the world. Any country that tried to challenge Sunset¡¯s status had to be suppressed. ¡°This time, we must use this operation to ruthlessly attack the Divine Dragon. We must take them down! Let them obediently create wealth for Sunset! Any attempt to change the current situation will be punished.¡± ¡°Mr. Assistant, you called me?¡± Rafe appeared in Mr. Assistant¡¯s office with a flushed face. His eyes were sunken, his face was pale, and he walked a little light-headed. He had just returned from Northern Han and felt very good, but he was also very exhausted. Seeing Rafe¡¯s expression, the Assistant¡¯s eyes flashed with displeasure. He flipped the document on the table and placed it on the table before saying, ¡°Yes, Mr. Rafe. I need to talk to you.¡± ¡°How are the results of the experiment in Northern Han? Are there any problems?¡± This was what the Assistant was most concerned about. As long as there were no problems with the experiment in Northern Han, the ROM system could be promoted worldwide. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the ROM system is very stable. There have been no malfunctions since it was put into use.¡± ¡°Moreover, the ROM system can defend against all viruses. The Doomsday Extortion Virus can¡¯t do anything to Northern Han¡¯s computers.¡± Rafe explained his results in Northern Han with a smile. ¡°In terms of branch domain name resolution servers, the services provided by the ROM system are extremely stable. Through the branch domain name resolution server experiment deployed in Northern Han, we feel that the ROM branch domain name resolution server system already meets the criteria for global promotion.¡± ¡°All the official departments of Northern Han have already switched to the ROM system. It runs very smoothly and the effect is very good!¡± Rafe was all smiles as he talked about the results of this experiment. ¡°Now, the officials of Northern Han have already abandoned the Divine Dragon System and switched to our ROM system!¡± ¡°All their companies have also abandoned the Divine Dragon System and switched to the ROM server system.¡± ¡°Northern Han citizens are also undergoing system replacement work. In a month, everyone¡¯s computer system can be replaced with the ROM system!¡± A smug look appeared in Rafe¡¯s eyes. In fact, after the branch domain name resolution server system was changed to the ROM system, all computers using the Divine Dragon System in Northern Han would not be able to go online. Although Northern Han was unwilling, due to the might of the Sunset , they could only grit their teeth and change all the server systems to the ROM system. The computers for office and civilian computers were all changed accordingly. ¡°Mr. Assistant, this is the research report¡­¡± Rafe respectfully handed a research report to the Assistant. The assistant took the report and read through it carefully. Rafe sized up his surroundings and saw the sofa in the office. Because of exhaustion, his legs were already weak from standing and he couldn¡¯t stand anymore. His body was already covered in sweat. He needed to rest. Just as Rafe¡¯s butt was about to land on the sofa, the Assistant flipped to the last page of the research report and looked up at Rafe. ¡°Not bad! Take it.¡± Then the Assistant handed the research report in Rafe¡¯s direction. Rafe could only leave the sofa. His body was weak as he walked to the Assistant and took the research report. Just as Rafe was about to go back and sit on the sofa, the Assistant spoke again. ¡°Mr. Rafe, how many ROM branch domain name resolution server systems have been produced? Can it cover all the countries in the world?¡± the assistant asked coldly. Rafe stopped in his tracks and reported the situation. ¡°Mr. Assistant, 300,000 ROM branch domain name resolution servers have been produced! It¡¯s enough to cover all the countries in the world.¡± ¡°However, only 50 million ROM server systems, ROM office systems, and ordinary ROM systems have been produced so far.¡± ¡°Although we can snatch the domain name server back, we don¡¯t have enough ROM office systems for everyone,¡± Rafe said solemnly. If he wanted to activate that terrifying plan, he had to be prepared. Because once that plan was activated, there was no turning back. Once the plan was activated, it would not take long to determine who would be the master of the internet in the future and the direction it would take. No matter which side won, it was almost impossible for the other side to regain control. They could only follow the rules set by the other party obediently. Therefore, this plan was extremely important. ¡°We need at least 300 million ROM computer systems¡­ before the plan can be implemented!¡± ¡°We also have to prepare 200 million sets of ROM mobile phone systems because of the damned Doomsday Extortion Virus. All smartphones can¡¯t be used, and only functional and landline phones are working!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve asked someone to do the calculations. It will take at least a month to prepare these things!¡± Rafe reported the situation he knew. ¡°I suggest we don¡¯t make any move until the preparations are complete. Keep it confidential.¡± ¡°Let the Divine Dragon be smug for a while!¡± ¡°Let the Divine Dragon let down its guard and then we will deal a fatal blow! Let the Divine Dragon know that the internet has always belonged to Sunset.¡± Rafe¡¯s eyes were cold. This Doomsday Extortion Virus had reduced Window¡¯s share of the operating system market from 90% to zero. ¡°Rafe, you¡¯re in charge of chip production!¡± ¡°In a month, I want 300 million ROM computer systems and 200 million ROM mobile phone systems!¡± ¡°One month later, July 7th, the plan will be officially launched!¡± ¡°I want to deal the Divine Dragon a fatal blow!¡± The Assistant said coldly. Chapter 252 - 252 University Entrance Examination and Apology 252 University Entrance Examination and Apology At Tianyi High School¡¯s university entrance examination venue, Li Chengqian found his seat based on his examination pass number. In his previous life, he was at a loss and didn¡¯t know what to do when he was sitting in the examination hall for the university entrance examination. Because at that time, Li Chengqian knew that his results in the exam would definitely disappoint his parents and teachers. His classmates would also look down on him. Therefore, he was hesitant, nervous, and even afraid. He still remembered that when the exam papers were handed to him, his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably. However, the feeling this time was completely different. There was no nervousness or fear. He was very calm. There was a sense of freedom in his calmness, but there was also a hint of relief. ¡°I¡¯ll take this university entrance examination as a farewell to my previous life! I will have closure!¡± ¡°After this exam, life will be completely different.¡± As Li Chengqian was contemplating and reminiscing, the invigilator finished reading the exam rules and began to distribute the test papers. Among the invigilators, one of them happened to be Li Chengqian¡¯s form teacher, the young and beautiful Teacher Wang Jianjia. When Teacher Wang Jianjia saw Li Chengqian, she was also very excited. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Li Chengqian to really come for the university entrance examination! It¡¯s really wonderful!¡± In fact, almost all the elite schools in the world had already sent Li Chengqian an acceptance letter. As long as Li Chengqian wanted to go, any school would welcome him to join. However, all the teachers in Tianyi High School especially hoped that Li Chengqian could sit for the university entrance examination instead of taking the special admission route. With Li Chengqian¡¯s knowledge, if he took the university entrance examination, he would definitely be able to achieve stunning results. He might not definitely score full marks, but it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to score 720 out of 750 marks for the university entrance examination. If he performed well, he might even score 740 marks. Coupled with the fact that Li Chengqian had received the provincial medal for bravery, he would get an additional 20 points for the university entrance examination! Li Chengqian¡¯s final score would be absolutely astonishing. Tianyi High School could make use of Li Chengqian¡¯s university entrance examination results to become famous throughout the country! They would become famous in Jinshan Province and become one of the elite schools. As Li Chengqian¡¯s form teacher, Wang Jianjia, she would also obtain a lot of glory. Therefore, when she handed the test paper to Li Chengqian, Wang Jianjia smiled very sweetly. If not for the strict rules of the university entrance examination, she even wanted to say a few words of encouragement to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian also smiled at Teacher Wang Jianjia and took the test paper. ¡°In my previous life, I didn¡¯t know how to answer most of the questions.¡± ¡°In this life, all the questions are easy.¡± Li Chengqian almost didn¡¯t need to think at all. He answered the questions very quickly. While others were still reviewing the questions, he had already completed most of the questions. Coincidentally, Jian Qingli, Ding Ling, Zhao Peng, and Li Chengqian were assigned to the same examination hall for this exam. However, Ding Ling and Zhao Peng did not participate in the exam because they had already obtained the acceptance letter from Divine Dragon University. However, Jian Qingli wasn¡¯t that lucky. She was still a distance away from special admissions and could only participate in the exam. Li Chengqian sat in the first row while Jian Qingli sat in the last row. ¡°If I had agreed to Li Chengqian¡¯s invitation to form a team, I wouldn¡¯t have had to sit for this exam now.¡± A trace of regret flashed in Jian Qingli¡¯s eyes. ¡°Not only do they not have to sit for the exam, but they can also go straight to the best school. Ding Ling and Zhao Peng are really lucky. Their lucky stars are shining on them.¡± Jian Qingli was very envious, in fact she was even jealous. Thinking of Ding Ling and Zhao Peng¡¯s situation, the regret in her heart intensified. Unfortunately, there was no point crying over spilled milk. Once the boat had sailed, there was nothing one could do. After the test paper was distributed, Jian Qingli looked at the questions on the test paper and her eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°Eh, this question¡­¡± After returning from Dragon City, they had been chatting nonstop. Before Li Chengqian went into seclusion to develop the lithography machine, Jian Qingli would look for Li Chengqian almost every night. Every day after she was exhausted, Li Chengqian would tutor her. Jian Qingli realized that Li Chengqian had explained to her the first question on the test paper. Jian Qingli was astonished. She glanced at Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the first row. ¡°Li Chengqian, your guess is actually so accurate! You¡¯ve already guessed the question a month ago.¡± Then, the second¡­ the third¡­ Until the last essay question. Although they weren¡¯t exactly the same, Li Chengqian had taught her similar questions before. Moreover, he had taught her more than once. Jian Qingli was instantly overjoyed. The way she looked at Li Chengqian¡¯s back also became more and more gentle. Originally, Jian Qingli still had grievances in her heart. In Dragon Capital, she had given her virginity to Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian had not given her any status, nor had he made her any promises. Even when they were together at night, he had been sneaky. She had taken the initiative to look for Li Chengqian everytime, but Li Chengqian had never taken the initiative to look for her. ¡°Although he didn¡¯t say it, he still cares about me!¡± Jian Qingli secretly thought, and her mood instantly improved. Because she had done similar or even the same questions, Jian Qingli¡¯s did the test very quickly. ¡°If Li Chengqian had also guessed the other subjects¡­¡± During that crazy period of time, Li Chengqian had not only taught her Chinese, but also all the subjects for the university entrance examination. At the thought of this, Jian Qingli¡¯s heart could not help but pound. While Li Chengqian and Jian Qingli were doing the questions smoothly, the other students were frowning and scratching their ears and cheeks. This was because the questions for this exam were harder than usual. Even students with good results usually found it very difficult to solve the questions. Wang Jianjia had been wandering around the examination hall. When she saw Li Chengqian answering the questions quickly, she was not surprised at all. When she realized that Jian Qingli¡¯s speed was also very fast and she basically answered everything correctly, she was a little surprised. Li Chengqian did the test attentively. An hour later, after writing the last word of the essay, Li Chengqian read the exam paper from cover to cover. After confirming that there were no problems, he raised his hand and handed it in without hesitation. He couldn¡¯t guarantee full marks, but Li Chengqian was confident that he would score 745 marks. After all, the essay was a subjective question. It had a lot to do with the preferences of the grading teacher. ¡°Teacher, I want to hand in my paper!¡± Li Chengqian said softly when he saw Wang Jianjia walking over. Wang Jianjia glanced at Li Chengqian¡¯s answer sheet. All the questions had been answered. There was not a single stain on the entire test paper. It was clean and the handwriting on the test paper was beautiful. Even if she was asked to take the test, it was impossible for her to do as well as Li Chengqian. ¡°Go on.¡± ¡­ Outside the school, a large number of parents were waiting. They had accompanied the students for the exam. Li Tianlan and Chen Li were also in the crowd. When Jian Qingli¡¯s mother, Huang Jingjing, saw the two of them, she took the initiative to come over and greet them. Unlike her usual high and mighty self, Huang Jingjing stood beside Chen Li and Li Tianlan, looking very reserved. After the three of them chatted for a while, Huang Jingjing asked with envy in her eyes, ¡°Chen Li, I heard that you moved to the Butterfly Bay Villa area. I heard that the environment of the villa area is especially good. The district is like a park. There¡¯s a lake outside the district. I wonder if it¡¯s true?¡± A villa in Butterfly Bay cost about three million yuan. For a small city, it was an astronomical price. People who lived in Butterfly Bay had deep pockets. Just the property management fees alone were tens of thousands of yuan a year. Huang Jingjing yearned for a villa in Butterfly Bay. Unfortunately, her finances did not allow it. Her ¡°husband¡± also couldn¡¯t bear to spend so much money to buy a villa, so all along, Huang Jingjing could only covet it. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve moved there for a while! The environment is alright, but I¡¯m not familiar with the environment and don¡¯t know anyone, so I don¡¯t like it very much.¡± Chen Li really didn¡¯t like it. She didn¡¯t know anyone and couldn¡¯t find anyone to chat with. It was very boring. ¡°Then move back here. There are neighbors all around,¡± Huang Jingjing suggested with a smile, her eyes lighting up. Chen Li shook her head. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Ever since Li Chengqian became famous, countless people had appeared to look for her. This included relatives whom she had never heard of and neighbours who used to look down on her. They either wanted to borrow money from her or ask her to help intercede and let their relatives and friends work at the Divine Dragon Software Company. If she shifted back, she wouldn¡¯t have any peace. Most people would approach her with ulterior motives. Chen Li would definitely not do such a thing that would cause trouble for her son, so she would stay at Butterfly Bay and be bored. Huang Jingjing was filled with disappointment. If Chen Li came back to stay, she could use this opportunity to salvage her relationship with Chen Li. She could also find means for Jian Qingli and Li Chengqian to interact. Once Li Chengqian fell in love with Jian Qingli, rather, even if he didn¡¯t fall in love with her, as long as they developed a relationship, with Li Chengqian¡¯s wealth, she wouldn¡¯t have to worry for the rest of her life. She would be set for life. Unfortunately, Chen Li didn¡¯t give her a chance at all. Huang Jingjing suppressed the disappointment in her heart. Other than chatting, her main purpose for seeing Chen Li was to apologize. However, there were so many people around. Huang Jingjing¡¯s self-esteem was extremely strong, so she did not apologize. After chatting for a while, Huang Jingjing stammered for a long time. After struggling fiercely in her heart, she finally made up her mind. She said to Chen Li in embarrassment, ¡°Chen Li, my mouth is foul. I used to say some infuriating things. I¡¯ll apologize to you first. Please forgive me. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Chen Li looked at Huang Jingjing in surprise. Huang Jingjing was such a strong-willed person who loved to compare everything. Now, she was actually bowing down to her. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve never taken it to heart. Let bygones be bygones,¡± Chen Li replied with a smile. Huang Jingjing finally relaxed after hearing what Chen Li said, and a smile appeared on her face. Chapter 253 - 253 Relaxed 253 Relaxed There were no surprises during the two days of the university entrance examination. To the current Li Chengqian, it was simply not difficult at all. It was really too simple. Because of subjective questions in Chinese language and foreign language, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to say that he could score full marks. However, he could definitely score full marks in other subjects. There was no doubt about that. Li Chengqian did a mental calculation. In this university entrance examination, he could score at least 740 marks. If his paper was graded by a market who agreed with his style, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising for him to score full marks. Li Chengqian was the first to hand in his paper, but the university entrance examination was different from ordinary exams. Even if he handed in his paper, he could not leave the examination hall. He could only stay in the school. Li Chengqian found a shady spot on the grass and sat down. He felt relaxed, as if all the weight on his shoulders had been lifted. ¡°In my previous life, the tragedy of my life began with the university entrance examination¡­¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯ve completely changed my fate.¡± Li Chengqian had a relaxed smile on his face. He casually leaned back and lay on the grass. He looked at the blue sky, his eyes already looking beyond the sky. ¡°Everything I have now was given to me by the Master of all Professions game!¡± ¡°All the professions and skills in the Master of All Professions game have become reality!¡± ¡°Then everything in the game has the possibility of becoming reality!¡± Thinking of this, the smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face disappeared. This was because in the later stages of the Master of All Professions game, there would be an alien invasion and an enslavement of human civilization. ¡°I have to be prepared¡­ What if the aliens really come?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°After I go back this time, I¡¯ll go all out to develop robot technology, mecha technology, power technology, energy technology, and space technology! Regardless of whether aliens will really appear, I have to be prepared.¡± Li Chengqian planned in his heart. ¡°I must also set up underground shelters while developing related technologies.¡± In the Master of all Professions game, after the aliens invaded, humans went underground and developed their technologies bit by bit until they achieved a new height. Then, they finally took back their land and chased the aliens away. ¡°Besides the aliens, Sunset is also a threat now. They are plotting an evil scheme. I have to be careful.¡± Sunset was very careful this time, no news was leaked. Even Bai Ze did not manage to get any news, so Li Chengqian could only analyze the situation through whatever information he had. However, he really couldn¡¯t figure out what Sunset was plotting. ¡°Next, the most important thing is to take on the University Student profession!¡± After taking on the University Student profession, one could buy relevant knowledge with experience value points. Knowledge and technology that was not available could be bought with experience value points. He could also directly buy the formulas, blueprints, technologies, and so on in the Profession Mall with experience value points. It could be said that before becoming a University Student, he was at a beginner¡¯s stage in the Master of all Professions game. The beginner¡¯s stage allowed players to familiarize themselves with the usage of the game, and the skills were all minor skills. Once one became a University Student, the game would take a qualitative leap and many restrictions would be removed immediately. ¡°Before I become a University Student, I want to prepare a huge amount of experience value points! After I become a University Student, I can immediately buy a lot of knowledge, related technologies, formulas, blueprints, and so on.¡± Li Chengqian planned the next step in his heart. As Li Chengqian thought about it, he lay on the grass and slowly closed his eyes. His breathing became even and he fell asleep. A weight had been taken off him after the university entrance examination, and he felt relaxed. ¡­ ¡°Li Chengqian, why did you fall asleep here?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s sweet voice woke Li Chengqian up. Li Chengqian opened his eyes and saw Jian Qingli smiling. Jian Qingli was wearing a white dress. She squatted down beside Li Chengqian and her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration as she looked at him. She handled all the subjects in this exam very easily. She breezed through the exam because Li Chengqian had taught her similar questions during this period of time. She knew how to answer all the questions. After the exam, she checked the answers online and realized that she could score about 690 marks this time. With this score, she would definitely be admitted if she chose a less popular major in Divine Dragon University. ¡°After the exam, I felt relaxed all over. The pressure was greatly reduced in an instant. With my body and mind relaxed, I fell asleep in an instant!¡± Li Chengqian stretched and sat up. ¡°Jian Qingli, how did you do?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. ¡°You taught me so well¡­ I did very well too.¡± Jian Qingli smiled until her eyes narrowed. Li Chengqian looked around and found that there was no one else around. He said with a smile, ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯ve taught your homework well or I¡¯ve taught your posture well?¡± Jian Qingli¡¯s face immediately turned red. ¡°Are you courting death? There are so many people around, yet you¡¯re saying such strange things. If others hear you, I¡¯ll immediately become famous. You¡¯ll also become famous.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave first. I don¡¯t want others to know about our relationship, it will affect you and that won¡¯t be nice.¡± After saying that, Jian Qingli stood up and walked out without hesitation. However, before leaving, Jian Qingli turned around and realized that there was no one else around. She whispered to Li Chengqian, her voice soft like a mosquito, ¡°Tonight¡­ I¡¯ll look for you at the usual place! As a reward, I¡¯m willing to¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, she lowered her head and walked away as she was very shy. Soon, her expression returned to its usual aloofness. She had a distant temperament, causing many people who wanted to strike up a conversation with her to stay away. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes lit up, and he chuckled. Then, he lay on the grass and watched Jian Qingli¡¯s beautiful and increasingly curvaceous figure walk away gracefully. After Jian Qingli walked far away, the young men nearby all revealed looks of adoration and envy. ¡°Who is this girl? She¡¯s so beautiful! It¡¯s just that she¡¯s a little too aloof.¡± ¡°If only I could be with her. How wonderful that would be.¡± ¡°This girl looks much prettier than the hottest female celebrity!¡± ¡°She has a great figure! I wonder if she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is a lucky guy.¡± Envious words came out of the men¡¯s mouth. ¡°Jian Qingli is becoming more and more feminine and sensible! She¡¯s hot when she should be hot and cold when she should be cold. It¡¯s very good.¡± After Jian Qingli walked far away, Li Chengqian slowly stood up and walked out. ¡°Son, I¡¯m here. Come over quickly.¡± Chen Li saw Li Chengqian from afar. She kept waving at him. When Li Chengqian walked to her side, Chen Li asked, ¡°Son¡­ how did you do for the exam?¡± Although she knew that there wouldn¡¯t be any issues with Li Chengqian¡¯s results at all. However, as a parent, she would naturally be nervous at this moment. ¡°It¡¯s alright! As you know, we have received all the admission notices at home. There¡¯s no impact no matter how many marks I score.¡± After Li Chengqian answered with a smile, he brought Chen Li and Li Tianlan out. Li Chengqian¡¯s words made the parents and candidates nearby look their way. They wanted to see who was so boastful. Then, they saw Li Chengqian. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s actually Li Chengqian, the awesome guy!¡± ¡°It was Li Chengqian who said it. Then it¡¯s fine!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s participation in the university entrance examination is simply a blow to all of us.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is simply crazy. All the universities in the world have sent him an acceptance letter, and yet he still came to participate in the university entrance examination. It must be because he was bored.¡± Under everyone¡¯s envious and jealous gazes, Chen Li scolded jokingly, ¡°Son, don¡¯t be too proud. Be humble.¡± ¡°Yes, Mom, you¡¯re right,¡± Li Chengqian replied with a smile. Li Tianlan smiled and shook his head. ¡°Chengqian, you¡¯re already so old, and you are already running a large company. Why are you still behaving like a rascal? Just like when you were a kid, you weren¡¯t bothered by people laughing at you.¡± ¡°Heh, no matter what, I¡¯m still your son. Isn¡¯t it natural for children to behave shamelessly in front of their parents?¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. In his previous life, his parents had gotten into a car accident because they were trying to arrange for him to repeat his studies. This was his greatest regret. In the decades that followed, this car accident made him deeply regret it. He had imagined countless times how he would get along with his parents if he could do it all over again. He only knew how to cherish what he had lost, so he especially cherished the time he had with his parents now. He had also found the best way to spend time with his parents. Chen Li and Li Tianlan¡¯s eyes were filled with happiness. The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked away. Chapter 254 - 254 Robot 254 Robot The day after the university entrance examination, Li Chengqian appeared in the factory that was previously used to develop the lithography machine. Materials were continuously transported to the factory by vehicles. A smartly dressed Zhao Na was updating Li Chengqian on the situation. ¡°Boss, the automated lithography machine factory is under construction. It¡¯s estimated that it will take another month to complete. The entire factory, equipment and factory processing, will cost about 20 billion yuan to construct.¡± ¡°The construction of the automated factory is in progress. On the condition that we get sufficient materials, we can produce 100 units of Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine every month.¡± ¡°No problem. Just report it to me through the normal process.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. Twenty billion was just a number to him now. In fact, it was not very useful. As long as there were good results obtained from this 20 billion yuan, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t hesitate at all. Moreover, the 20 billion yuan was used to build an automated factory for lithography machines. Spending 20 billion yuan could bring at least ten times the return within a foreseeable future. Zhao Na wrote down Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions in her notebook and continued to update the situation. ¡°Boss, ever since we signed the purchase contract with the National Chip Company, many chip companies have asked us about the performance and price of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. Currently, Changxin, Jingdongfang, Jingjiawei, Huawei, Lenovo, Changdian, Unisoc, and other related chip companies are all interested in buying the machine.¡± ¡°Preliminary statistics show that the domestic demand this year is about 300 lithography machines!¡± Zhao Na smiled. Even if they sold the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine at the same price as they sold to the National Chip Company, they would still have a sales revenue of nearly 60 billion yuan. Coupled with the 10 billion yuan order from the National Chip Company, the total turnover was 70 billion yuan. And now, other than the prototype machine manufactured by Li Chengqian, the factory had yet to be completed. If these orders could be confirmed, the construction cost of the lithography machine automated factory would be recouped, and there would even be enough to pay for the raw materials. The lithography machine factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company could be profitable in the first year. This level of profitability was simply a miracle for the lithography machine industry. ¡°As I¡¯ve said, you¡¯ll be in charge of the construction of the lithography machine factory, the management of the lithography machine factory, and the sales of the lithography machine in the future. Just do as you deem fit!¡± An excited smile appeared on Zhao Na¡¯s face. ¡°Boss, I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you! I definitely won¡¯t let you down. I¡¯ll definitely manage the lithography machine factory well.¡± ¡°Mm, good luck!¡± Li Chengqian nodded and encouraged her. Then, Li Chengqian sized up Zhao Na¡¯s curvy figure for a long time. Zhao Na felt uncomfortable under Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze. Her face turned red, and her heart raced. Is there any woman who doesn¡¯t yearn for love? Especially when facing a wealthy, talented, and handsome young man like Li Chengqian, any woman would find him irresistible. Zhao Na was also a woman. She had personally witnessed the process of Li Chengqian turning the Divine Dragon Software Company into a world giant in an extremely short period of time. She totally admired Li Chengqian. It is normal for women to worship the strong and capable. Therefore, she had already secretly fallen for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian and her were alone in the factory. Li Chengqian was looking at her amorously, and this made her feel something different. She was even mentally prepared for some things. As long as Li Chengqian opened his mouth or if Li Chengqian made a move, she would cooperate. ¡°Right, there¡¯s one more thing¡­ Zhao Na, let me inform you that your salary has increased! The annual salary is 10 million!¡­ Why, looking at you, you don¡¯t seem too happy? Do you think 10 million is too little?¡± Li Chengqian had thought that Zhao Na would be very happy when she heard this news. However, Zhao Na¡¯s eyes revealed obvious disappointment. This was not what she had expected to hear. She had expected something else. ¡°Boss, no! I just feel that 10 million yuan annual salary is a little too high.¡± However, Zhao Na was very good at controlling her emotions. She did not show her disappointment for long before she concealed it. She revealed a faint smile and spoke to conceal the disappointment in her heart. ¡°Li Chengqian is terrible. He clearly wanted to talk about the pay raise. It¡¯s clearly serious business. Why was he looking at me that way?¡± Zhao Na thought with some shame and anger. ¡°This method of teasing and then letting me down is really irritating!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian definitely did it on purpose. He must have seen the way I embarrassed myself just now. It¡¯s really too much. This bastard.¡± Thinking of this, Zhao Na was even more ashamed and resentful. But she didn¡¯t show it on her face. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re satisfied. We¡¯ll set the annual salary at 10 million yuan then.¡± Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Na¡¯s embarrassed and angry expression and felt that it was especially amusing. However, he couldn¡¯t continue teasing her beyond this. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of the workbench. He tapped on the computer. On the big screen opposite the workbench, a silver robot image. the kind that looks like science fiction, appeared. It was an anthropomorphic robot with angular steel edges. It looked extremely domineering. It looked like a Gundam, in fact, it was even more beautiful than a Gundam. ¡°What is this?¡± Zhao Na was immediately attracted by the robot on the big screen because it was so beautiful. ¡°A robot! Its name is Guardian!¡± Li Chengqian replied calmly. In fact, the Guardian robot that was in the design stage wasn¡¯t just an ordinary robot. The Guardian robot was a war robot designed by Li Chengqian! Of course, it was not just a war robot. It would have many uses. In Li Chengqian¡¯s design, it could perform domestic chores, or it could be an employee on a production line. It could also replace humans in extremely dangerous work. When the need arises, specially-made weapons could be installed on it and it would immediately become a terrifying combat machine. ¡°It looks mighty and majestic!¡± Zhao Na praised. ¡°This is only a blueprint. After it is manufactured, it will look even more majestic.¡± Li Chengqian spoke as he operated the computer. The image of the mighty and majestic robot disappeared. The robot was dismantled into parts. Li Chengqian picked up the parts on the shelf next to him according to the parts displayed on the big screen. He then began to assemble it according to the prompts on the big screen. The most difficult part, the design of the robot, had been completed by Bai Ze! Moreover, in the virtual environment of the computer, Bai Ze had already carried out countless tests and simulations. Continuous improvement and enhancements were made after the tests and simulations. It had already reached a point where nothing else needed to be changed. He had to make a robot to carry out the experiment. What Li Chengqian needed to do now was actually very simple. He had to assemble the robot according to the robot assembly map provided by Bai Ze. This work requires very high installation technology and high precision. Only Li Chengqian could complete it. ¡°Zhao Na, go and do your work! Don¡¯t worry about me. If I need anything, I¡¯ll call you.¡± With Zhao Na around, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to use many abilities, for example, when he was alone, he could lift materials weighing hundreds of kilograms like it was a bag of feathers. When he was doing the installation, he needed to be very precise as well. But if Zhao Na was here, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t dare to do this at all. He could only use machines to carry the load and to assist in assembly. Not only was the efficiency low, but the precision of the installation had also decreased by a level. It made Li Chengqian feel very uncomfortable. Originally, he estimated that this experimental robot would need a day to be assembled. However, if Zhao Na was watching, it might not even be done in three days. Zhao Na agreed and left the factory. ¡°Li Chengqian, this bastard, actually teased me like this and then left me hanging. He¡¯s really¡­ sick.¡± Zhao Na¡¯s heart was filled with resentment. Chapter 255 - 255 MAC Traversal Technology 255 MAC Traversal Technology Developing a robot was much harder than expected. In just one day, Li Chengqian assembled the robot based on the blueprint given by Bai Ze. The robot that he constructed was two meters tall and weighed 1,000 kilograms. It looked mighty and imposing, even more so than the blueprint. The silver fuselage looked very high tech. It was very eye-catching, and it felt very avant garde. A data cable was connected from the computer to the silver robot. The robot system developed by Li Chengqian and Bai Ze was written into the robot¡¯s core. In the future, this operating system would be equivalent to the soul of the robot. ¡°You¡¯re the first robot I¡¯ve created. From now on, your name will be No. 1.¡± No. 1¡¯s electronic eyes flashed with red light, and finally fixed on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. A cold electronic voice came from its body. ¡°Detected the creator. The first rule of robots is to obey the creator¡¯s orders under any circumstances!¡± ¡°Rename successful. My code name has been changed to No. 1!¡± ¡°Creator, No. 1 is at your service.¡± No. 1 lowered its head and bowed slightly. As it spoke, it even bowed to Li Chengqian. And then¡­ Clang! No. 1 lost its balance and fell flat on its face, in front of Li Chengqian. ¡°Master, the Dynamic Balance System needs to be adjusted¡­ No. 1 is still learning to control its own body!¡± On the big screen, Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded. While Bai Ze was reporting to Li Chengqian, No. 1 kept trying to stand up. During the process, the temperature of No. 1¡¯s processing core kept rising. In a minute, it soared from 30 degrees to 80 degrees. No. 1¡¯s learning ability was very strong. Every time it tried, it would improve. Five minutes later, No. 1 stood up. ¡°Creator, No. 1 is at your service.¡± No. 1 lowered its head and bowed to Li Chengqian again. This time, No. 1 didn¡¯t fall again. It stood there steadily, maintaining its bent posture. ¡°No. 1, let¡¯s see you try walking.¡± ¡°Yes, Creator!¡± Zero-One straightened up and walked forward¡­ And then¡­ Clang! No. 1 fell again! However, this time, No. 1 stood up the moment he fell. Then, he faithfully carried out Li Chengqian¡¯s orders and walked forward again. And then¡­ Clang! No. 1 fell again. ¡°The battery is low! Please use it again after you have charged it¡­¡± No. 1 did not get up this time. A cold electronic voice came from No. 1¡¯s body. ¡°This battery life¡­ is simply not enough!¡± Li Chengqian frowned. It actually ran out of battery after 10 minutes max. No matter what this model of robot was used for, it wouldn¡¯t work! Sending it to the battlefield to fight was as good as sending them to the enemy for supper. ¡°Master, No. 1 still needs a lot of training. It¡¯s now in the process of continuous learning like a human child.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°After No. 1 completes its learning, robots of the same model as No. 1 can directly inherit all its data. They can be used directly after minor adjustments.¡± ¡°With No. 1¡¯s data, we can also use it for optimization when designing other models of robots.¡± ¡°In terms of battery life, there is indeed a huge problem with the first generation¡­¡± ¡°No. 1¡¯s battery can only be used for about 10 minutes!¡± No. 1¡¯s body was so big, and the power consumption was extremely high when it moved, it was comparable to an electric car. Ten minutes was already the current limit. ¡°With the current battery technology, 10 minutes of endurance is already the best result!¡± ¡°However, I¡¯ve designed a convenient replacement battery chamber. When No. 1 runs out of power, we can directly replace the battery chamber and let it restore its mobility!¡± ¡°Furthermore, No. 1 can also be connected to a powerpoint! As long as the power cable is plugged in, it can keep moving.¡± After Li Chengqian heard this, he connected a power cable to No. 1. Seeing No. 1 get up and prepare to take another step, Li Chengqian hurriedly spoke. ¡°No. 1, stop!¡± No. 1 still needed to undergo a lot of training. It was better to leave such boring work to Bai Ze. ¡°Creator, as you command!¡± ¡°Charging in progress. Estimated 20 minutes to complete charging! Going into hibernation. The Creator can wake me up from hibernation by calling my name. I look forward to serving you.¡± No. 1¡¯s cold voice sounded. After saying that, the light on the body dimmed, and only the battery indicator on its chest was displayed! ¡°Bai Ze, you will complete the rest of the training!¡± Li Chengqian instructed. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± After Li Chengqian arranged for Bai Ze to conduct the training, he went to an office in the factory. ¡°Zhang Tianling said that Sunset¡¯s operation is related to the internet¡­ and it¡¯s going to be devastating and subversive.¡± He had always remembered the information Zhang Tianling had told him. ¡°From what happened in Northern Han, it can be seen that Sunset will start from the branch domain name resolution server.¡± Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. ¡°The Divine Dragon System is a network operating system! And it¡¯s not compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol resolution. Once the branch domain name server in the area is replaced with Sunset¡¯s product, all the computers and servers installed with the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t connect to the network and can¡¯t be used.¡± ¡°This will be a huge blow to the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°Based on the current trend, it¡¯s basically impossible to stop Sunset from replacing the branch domain name resolution server!¡± ¡°One way is to update the Divine Dragon System and make it compatible with the Sunset Internet Protocol. Even if the branch domain name parsing server is replaced with the Sunset branch domain name parsing server, the computer version of the Divine Dragon System and the server version will not be affected.¡± This thought only flashed through Li Chengqian¡¯s mind for a moment before he threw it to the back of his mind. Because if he really did that, he would be undermining the Iceman Project! He would be a traitor to the country. At the same time, once the internet protocol was compatible with Sunset, it would be too easy for Sunset to deal with the Divine Dragon Software Company in the future. They only needed to block Divine Dragon¡¯s IP and domain name on the domain name server and the Divine Dragon Software Company would disappear from the internet. In the future, if the Divine Dragon Software Company wanted to operate normally, they had to get Sunset¡¯s approval! This was something that Li Chengqian could not accept. In the internet field, Li Chengqian interests and the country¡¯s interests are aligned. Prosper together or perish together! ¡°Another way is to use MAC traversal technology!¡± Every device had a unique MAC address. With the MAC address as the network address, even if the branch domain name resolution server of all the countries were replaced, it would not affect the equipment that installed the Divine Dragon System. ¡°If Sunset wants to take back the two prized possessions, the operating system and domain name resolution, don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm. He put on the brainwave receiver on the table and began to modify the network module of the Divine Dragon System. In fact, the Divine Dragon System already had the initial functions of the MAC Address Group Network. When the Doomsday Extortion Virus broke out, the Divine Dragon System was promoted through the direct connection of the MAC Address. It was just that its function wasn¡¯t that powerful. This time, Li Chengqian wanted to completely perfect the MAC Address Group Network function! He wanted to turn it into the MAC Traversal Technology network protocol! The new network protocol would then be updated to all devices where the Dragon System is installed. Didn¡¯t Sunset want to deal a fatal blow to the Divine Dragon System by changing the branch domain name resolution server? After this function update, once the system of the branch domain name resolution server changed, all devices installed with the Divine Dragon System would be detected and automatically switch to MAC Address Group Network mode, and they would still be able to use it unaffected. Moreover, all the devices installed with the Divine Dragon System did not require the branch domain name resolution server to handle the data. This way, even if Sunset used his powerful military strength to change all the branch domain name resolution servers¡­ It would be futile. It was meaningless, only a waste of money. It was all in vain. Chapter 256 - 256 Test Passed, Compulsory Update 256 Test Passed, Compulsory Update On the fifth day, Li Chengqian completed the last line of code. He once again reviewed the entire code of the MAC traversal technology from beginning to end. A translucent notification popped up on the software code. [MAC traversal technology completion 100%. Software grade B-!] [Completed B- grade software development. Received 20 million experience value points. Current Experience Pool: 386 million experience value points!] Until now, the main source of experience value points came through the Divine Dragon Software Company. Any product produced by all the companies under the Divine Dragon Software Company would bring Li Chengqian a certain amount of experience value points. In order to solve the production problem of the brainwave receiver, Li Chengqian set up an automated assembly factory. During this period of operation, Li Chengqian had been receiving experience value points. Of the 386 million experience value points in the experience pool, 300 million points came from this. There was also the precision motor factory, the special glass factory, and the lithography machine and light source factory that he acquired a while ago. They were all constantly contributing experience value points to Li Chengqian. After the construction of the lithography machine factory was completed, the production of each lithography machine would also bring Li Chengqian a large amount of experience value points. In the beginning, the MAC traversal technology was only a D+ software. What Li Chengqian completed this time was already the third iteration of the software. In addition to the MAC traversal technology, the software that was completed this time also included a super data compression technology that could compress the data that needed to be transmitted to one-tenth of the original size. It also included the automatic networking technology. With this technology, even if the backbone network malfunctioned, the Divine Dragon System in the entire region would automatically form a network and can be used normally. Once the network recovered, the regional network would automatically be deactivated and then integrated into the entire network. Why did Li Chengqian add this function? He was also planning ahead! Li Chengqian repeatedly analyzed what Zhang Tianling had said to him, especially the words ¡®subversive¡¯ and ¡®destructive¡¯. He carefully pondered over them. Then, a thought appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. If the Sunset couldn¡¯t achieve its goal, would it cut off the world¡¯s internet out of desperation? Would it use this all or nothing tactic to cut the Divine Dragon off from the internet. Would it use this unreasonable method to wrest control of the internet again. The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility! Therefore, he had not done anything for the past five days except to think about what to do if Sunset used these despicable means to deal a fatal blow to the Divine Dragon Software Company.. In the end, after constant discussion with Bai Ze, he developed the automatic networking technology and added this technology to the network module of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Bai Ze, start the third iteration of the MAC traversal technology!¡± ¡°Master, alright!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded. The code that had just been completed was installed on the test computer through the internal update program of the Divine Dragon System. Although not many computers were used in the test this time, they simulated the network level and structure of a country. There was a domain name resolution server, a web server, a routing device, an ISP device from a network vendor, and so on. It cost almost 20 million yuan for the related equipment and lines alone to construct this simulated internet network! As long as the experiment was successful in this simulated internet network, it meant that the MAC traversal technology developed this time had achieved its original design goal. Then, before Sunset made its move, he could update the entire world¡¯s Divine Dragon System. ¡°Testing the compatibility mode of the Iceman Project¡­ The test is completed! Under the Iceman Project Domain Name System, the data transmission is compressed to one-tenth of the original. The data is sent and accepted. There is basically no delay in decoding!¡± ¡°Network data compression test passed!¡± ¡°Branch domain name resolution server replacement scenario test¡­ completed!¡± ¡°When the branch domain name resolution server is replaced with the Windows ROM system, the network module automatically switches to MAC traversal technology.¡± ¡°The MAC traversal technology will automatically select the MAC address resolution duplicate server by region to provide address resolution services to the equipment in the region. After a while, the relevant information will be reported to the Iceman Project domain name server.¡± ¡°The international domain name resolution service will directly connect to the Iceman Project domain name resolution server for analysis.¡± ¡°All apps can be used normally, websites can be accessed normally, and international networks can be accessed and used normally.¡± ¡°Test passed!¡± In fact, Li Chengqian had originally considered directly connecting all the network¡¯s resolution services to the Iceman Project domain name server, but the delay was too long! There was a seven-second delay in transmitting data from one end of the Earth to the other through the network. This seven-second delay was very unfriendly to games, calls, and video chats. Therefore, the automatic networking technology would automatically activate the regional networking mode after the branch domain name resolution server was replaced. Generally, a country would serve as a region! ¡°Testing the scenario where the international optical cable has been completely cut off, the backbone network is malfunctioning, and connection to the Iceman Project domain name resolution server has failed. Automatic setup network test¡­ completed!¡± ¡°The MAC traversal technology will automatically choose to produce the MAC address resolution duplicate server in regions to provide address resolution services to the equipment in the region! It will also try to connect to the Iceman Project domain name server at regular intervals.¡± ¡°All websites in the network connection area can be accessed normally. The services provided by the servers in the area can be used normally!¡± ¡°Passed the internet test!¡± Li Chengqian smiled when he saw the information flash across the screen. ¡°With this technology, no matter what the Sunset Empire does next, it¡¯s just a pipe dream to take back the domain name resolution server and the operating system.¡± While Li Chengqian was sighing, the test plan drawn up by Bai Ze continued. ¡°Testing the scenario where the international optical cable has been completely cut off, the backbone network is malfunctioning, and the operating system and software is being updated¡­ completed!¡±¡± ¡°When any completed update of the Divine Dragon System is connected to the regional network, all other devices can receive a push update and complete the operating system update!¡± ¡°In the regional network, software installed on all devices can appear in the system app store to provide software download and installation services for other computers.¡± ¡°System and software contribution technology test passed!¡± ¡°Therefore, all the tests have passed. The MAC traversal technology has achieved the design goal!¡± ¡°Master, I suggest that the network module be updated worldwide immediately!¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded from the speaker. ¡°Almost perfect!¡± The smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face became even more brilliant. After these new technologies were applied, even in the worst case scenario where the international optical cable was forcefully cut off by Sunset¡­ The Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s System would not be affected at all. At the same time, Sunset would not be able to take back control of the internet. Even if the Internet was temporarily cut off, the control was still in the hands of the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°Bai Ze, upload the modified parts of the network module to the system update server. Do a compulsory background update! In any case, it¡¯s only 50MB of data! This bit of traffic won¡¯t affect anyone.¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and issued the update order. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡­ Chapter 257 - 257 Academician Lin Qus Concern 257 Academician Lin Qu¡¯s Concern At the Software Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences, Academician Lin Qu came to the Iceman Project control center as usual. ¡°How is it? Has the territorial map of the Iceman Project changed?¡± Academician Lin Qu asked as he glanced at the map on the big screen. He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that only the regions of Northern Han were still red and the other regions were green. However, there was still a worry lingering in his heart. The world has been in turmoil recently. Sunset sent a large number of special envoys to visit other countries. A huge fleet had also been parading its might on the ocean. They had been arrogant and created all sorts of excuses for visiting. Every time Sunset went on a trip, the ensuing reports would be almost identical. The next step will be in-depth cooperation on world internet security and on operating systems. It was obvious that Sunset¡¯s strategic goal during this period of time was to take back the leadership position that it lost in operating system, domain name, and IP. Moreover, in order to regain control of these three domains, Sunset had already gone all out! Preparations were underway. When they were ready to make a move, it would be the time of the storm. Although the internet¡¯s root domain name resolution service is still firmly controlled by the Iceman Project server¡­ However, Academician Lin Qu was worried that he might wake up one day to find that the green color on the command screen would instantly turn red. The root domain name server would once again be taken away by Sunset. Tian Zhi, who was in charge of the Iceman Project, also had a very solemn expression. He was very clear about the current situation. After hearing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s question, he thought for a moment and said solemnly, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, there are no changes to the Iceman Project. It¡¯s still providing services to the entire world, except for Northern Han!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°But what?¡± Academician Lin Qu stopped in his tracks because of Tian Zhi¡¯s ¡°but¡±. He instantly turned to look at Tian Zhi, and his tone became nervous. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company just updated the resolution software in the domain name resolution server.¡± ¡°With the updated software, the MAC address, IP address, and domain name are correlated. Could it be that you want to use MAC group network technology as a supplement to the IP group network?¡± The resolution software in the Iceman Project server was developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company. It originally had the function of MAC address resolution, but it wasn¡¯t often used and wasn¡¯t practical. It had never been used. ¡°Also, the super compression technology has been enhanced. Without changing the speed of the data transmission, the bandwidth of the data transmission has been cut to one-tenth. It¡¯s very powerful!¡± ¡°The technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company is indeed worthy of its reputation! It¡¯s very impressive,¡± Tian Zhi said with admiration. After Academician Lin Qu heard Tian Zhi¡¯s update, he finally relaxed. ¡°Yes, Li Chengqian¡¯s technology is very impressive! If we have a chance, we have to communicate and learn more from him.¡± ¡°After the software update, is the MAC address resolution volume high?¡± Academician Lin Qu asked excitedly. Tian Zhi felt that the super data compression technology was important, but he felt that the core of the software update this time was MAC address resolution. ¡°Uh, we haven¡¯t found the data analyzed by MAC for the time being! I think MAC¡¯s address resolution might just be an attempt,¡± Tian Zhi quickly replied. ¡°Alright, get on with your work.¡± Academician Lin Qu frowned after hearing this. He was a little disappointed. As he walked back to his office, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem with the software update. ¡°Does Li Chengqian already know something?¡± ¡°He updated the software in the root domain name resolution server to prepare for what might happen next?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian used the MAC network communication technology during the Doomsday Extortion Virus attack. This is a technology that can bypass domain name resolution and directly connect to the internet through IP allocation. Although it¡¯s not mature yet, it¡¯s very useful.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll ask him what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Moreover, Li Chengqian has already finished the university entrance examination. I can take this opportunity to ask him if he wants to study at the Academy of Sciences.¡± Academician Lin Qu had long wanted to call Li Chengqian and ask him what school he planned to enroll in. However, he hadn¡¯t found a suitable opportunity. He had wanted to wait for the university entrance examination results to be released before asking. Now, he could use this opportunity to ask. The call was quickly picked up. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m Lin Qu!¡± Li Chengqian was still in the factory, participating in the test of No. 1, the robot. After seeing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s call, he asked Bai Ze to stop training No. 1, and he answered the call. ¡°Hello, Academician Lin Qu!¡± Li Chengqian also greeted him politely. ¡°When I went to the Iceman Project command center this morning, I heard that you updated the domain name resolution software? You included the MAC address in the system? Why did you do this?¡± Academician Lin Qu asked directly. ¡°I feel that MAC¡¯s address network technology will be a trend in the future, so without changing the original software design plan, I¡¯ll try to do so.¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and decided not to tell the truth. This matter was too important. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare to leak any information. Hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s reply, Academician Lin Qu was a little disappointed, but he still asked unwillingly, ¡°How far has your MAC address network technology developed? Do you have the ability to do a point-to-multiple and multiple-to-multiple?¡± ¡°As expected, he was from a technical background.¡± When Li Chengqian heard Academician Lin Qu¡¯s question, he got nervous because Academician Lin Qu immediately found the crux of the issue. Point-to-point, multiple-to-multiple access was effectively another internet. Coincidentally, Li Chengqian had already realized all the abilities Academician Lin Qu asked about. However, no one must know about this. Li Chengqian was thinking about how to answer Academician Lin Qu¡¯s question. On the other end, Academician Lin Qu was very disappointed when he didn¡¯t hear Li Chengqian¡¯s answer after a long pause. ¡°Li Chengqian, this is a brand new field. I know it¡¯s very difficult to do this! I hope you can study this area next.¡± When Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t get a response from Li Chengqian, he was worried that Li Chengqian would blame himself for this. He even comforted him, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you are not able to do it now!¡± ¡°Thank you, Academician Lin Qu. I will work hard!¡± Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied. Right on the heels of that, Academician Lin Qu changed the topic to the university entrance examination. ¡°By the way, how did you do in the university entrance examination?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Ever since the exam ended, Li Chengqian had never paid attention to the university entrance examination. He had been engrossed in research, developing MAC network technology, and training robot No. 1. ¡°Have you thought about which school you want to enroll in? Why don¡¯t you come to our Academy of Sciences?¡± ¡°As long as you come, I promise you that our Academy of Sciences will not interfere with your research and studies. We will fully support any research project you have. As long as there¡¯s nothing treasonous or illegal, we will always stand behind you and support you.¡± ¡°In business, as long as it doesn¡¯t damage national interests, we will fully support you! Just like how you want to carry out military research, we can also help you!¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Academician Lin Qu once again extended a sincere invitation, hoping that Li Chengqian would enroll in the Academy of Sciences. ¡­ Chapter 258 - 258 Life Sciences, Robot Test 258 Life Sciences, Robot Test ¡°Academician Lin Qu, thank you for your kind thoughts!¡± Li Chengqian declined Academician Lin Qu¡¯s kind intentions once again. ¡°Alright!¡± Academician Lin Qu felt very disappointed, but he was not surprised at all. ¡°Then tell me, what subject are you planning to study when you go to university?¡± However, Academician Lin Qu was not discouraged. He was prepared to ask Li Chengqian about his plans in university before having a good talk with him. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to study life sciences in university! It¡¯s not related to information technology or hardware technology.¡± The Divine Dragon Software Company had already dabbled in software, hardware, lithography machine manufacturing, electronics assembly, and many other fields. In Li Chengqian¡¯s plan, the next step was to develop robot technology, power technology, energy technology, and aerospace technology. Life science was of utmost importance! After learning life science, he could legitimately show the things planted by the Farm Owner profession. Not the rare treasures of course, he definitely could not show them. However, the other products that were not particularly amazing, for example, the peas planted with the Farm Owner skills could be shown. Selling the produce that were planted using the Farm Owner¡¯s skills was only the first step of Li Chengqian¡¯s plan. Drugs to treat cancer¡­ Medicine to rejuvenate one¡¯s youth. Treatment of physical disabilities. The cultivation and transplant of human organs. These were all included in Li Chengqian¡¯s plan. In particular, in the Master of All Professions game in his previous life, when the aliens appeared, their first attack on humans was through a global plague! In the game, there was a pandemic, killing 80% of the human race. The consequences were so terrifying that Li Chengqian felt immense pressure just thinking about the possibility. Therefore, Li Chengqian had to learn about life sciences. Of course, going to university and choosing a major was actually a cover for Li Chengqian¡¯s knowledge. In the end, he needed to rely on all the Master of All Professions game to obtain these knowledge and technologies. For ordinary people, the Academy of Sciences was the best place. He could receive guidance from the academicians and work with the big shots. But to Li Chengqian, this was not a good thing. ¡°You want to study life sciences?¡± Academician Lin Qu was surprised. He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that Li Chengqian would choose life sciences. This was because the life sciences and what Li Chengqian was doing now were not related at all. Although he was surprised, Academician Lin Qu was very quick in his reactions. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, ¡°Li Chengqian, we have world class research facilities at the Life Sciences Research Institute under the Academy of Sciences. The best choice for you to study life sciences is still the Academy of Sciences.¡± ¡°Academician Lin Qu, I¡¯m sorry. I really can¡¯t go to the Academy of Sciences. I have my reasons.¡± Li Chengqian quickly declined. ¡°Forget it, forget it. As long as you¡¯re happy¡­¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s tone was filled with regret. The two of them chatted for a while, but Academician Lin Qu was not in a good mood. He quickly hung up. After the call ended, Li Chengqian took a deep breath. It was psychologically stressful to have to decline the good intentions of a senior who was constantly nurturing and looking out for him. ¡°I¡¯ll explain everything to Academician Lin Qu when there¡¯s a chance in the future!¡± Li Chengqian took a long breath and walked out of the office. He continued to train robot No. 1. ¡­ Robot No. 1¡¯s training was basically completed on the afternoon of June 23rd. In the huge open area of the factory, No. 1, under Bai Ze¡¯s command, carried out all kinds of difficult movements. It did backflips continuously and then walked upside down on both hands. When Li Chengqian came out of the office, Lin Qu¡¯s head scanner detected his presence. It immediately stopped and quickly walked to Li Chengqian¡¯s side. ¡°Creator, No. 1 is at your service.¡± ¡°Master, No. 1¡¯s training has been completed. The Dynamic Balance System database has been established! The basic motion library has also been established.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Master, please authorize the temporary hand over of the control of No. 1 to me.¡± Li Chengqian had the highest authority over all robots. This was the highest rule written into the system¡¯s core. Without Li Chengqian¡¯s authorization, Bai Ze wouldn¡¯t be able to command the robots. ¡°No. 1, I authorize Bai Ze to temporarily control you,¡± Li Chengqian ordered No. 1 in front of him. ¡°Detecting that the Creator¡¯s condition is normal¡­ Zero-One accepts this authorization!¡± A red light flashed in No. 1¡¯s eyes. After confirming Li Chengqian¡¯s current state and that it was normal, the authority was handed over to Bai Ze. Even if the authority was transferred to Bai Ze, Li Chengqian¡¯s safety was still No. 1¡¯s core mission. This duty came above all other missions and commands. After Bai Ze obtained control of No. 1, he began to explain the performance of the first generation robot to Li Chengqian. ¡°After testing, No. 1¡¯s speed can reach 100 meters in 5 seconds!¡± As soon as Bai Ze finished his introduction, No. 1 went to the track where the speed was tested under Bai Ze¡¯s control. Then, it rushed out like a gust of wind, as fast as a silver lightning bolt. Because No. 1¡¯s speed was too fast, it even stirred up a huge wind in the air tight factory! ¡°After testing, No. 1¡¯s arms can lift two tons of weight.¡± Under Bai Ze¡¯s control, No. 1 stepped forward to a small car used for testing. Its metal palm grabbed the car and raised it above its head. No. 1 grabbed the car and walked about ten meters before placing it on the ground. Throughout the entire process, No. 1 appeared like he was holding a feather. He appeared very relaxed. This was stunning. ¡°No. 1¡¯s mechanical arm can be as agile as a human arm, and its accuracy can reach 0.001 mm!¡± This time, No. 1 picked up a ballpoint pen from the workbench and wrote on a piece of plain paper, just like a human. No. 1 wrote very quickly. Before long, an article was written on the piece of paper. The writing was neat and tidy, exactly the same as the Song font displayed on the computer. It looked as if it was printed. ¡°No. 1 can carry 500 kilograms of supplies at normal power!¡± No. 1 put down the pen in its hand and placed a piece of iron that was prepared in advance on its body. It kept moving, but the power consumption didn¡¯t increase. ¡°The tests have shown that No. 1¡¯s indicators have met the design requirements.¡± ¡°However, due to the issue of battery life, it can only last up to 10 minutes without a power supply!¡± ¡°This is No. 1¡¯s biggest shortcoming.¡± ¡°In terms of military performance, because there are no experimental subjects and no experimental weapons, we can¡¯t evaluate No. 1¡¯s military capabilities for the time being!¡± ¡°Based on virtual simulation evaluation, with sufficient power, Zero-One¡¯s hit rate when using a firearm is more than 98%! The effective range can reach the maximum range of a firearm!¡± ¡°For each new firearm, No. 1 would need to use five bullets to calibrate the firearm.¡± ¡°I hope Master can find a real battlefield as soon as possible so as to conduct experiments!¡± Bai Ze stated the results of this test without emotions. ¡°Not bad! Not bad at all!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes completely lit up. In the aspect of arms testing, virtual simulations were enough. Li Chengqian really wouldn¡¯t be able to find an actual battlefield. In the training of No. 1, Li Chengqian¡¯s top priority was actually precision! No. 1¡¯s mechanical arm could reach 0.001 mm accuracy. Coupled with its anthropomorphic design, its body and arms were very agile, in fact even more agile than humans. This way, No. 1 could do a lot of things. An accuracy of 0.001 mm could allow No. 1 to¡­ replicate itself! As long as No. 1 was provided with enough parts, it could assemble more first generation robots¡­ One would become two. Two would become four. Four would become eight¡­ The number of robots would increase exponentially. If Li Chengqian needed it and if he obtained enough raw materials, he could create a huge robot army in an extremely short period of time. ¡°Bai Ze, send the blueprint and manufacturing method of the first generation robot to No. 1!¡± Li Chengqian instructed. ¡°Alright, Master¡­ Sending the data now. The data has been sent!¡± ¡°No. 1, use the remaining materials to create a new robot!¡± Li Chengqian instructed it. ¡°Creator, as you command!¡± No. 1 did not immediately create a new robot. It very came to the side of the socket like a human, and connected the mechanical body to the power cable. Then, it walked to the work bench. Then, its arm nimbly picked up the parts and tools and began to assemble a new robot according to the blueprint. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze, a mechanical arm quickly took shape. The speed at which No. 1 did the assembly was even faster than Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian instructed Bai Ze and No. 1 to collaborate and continue making new robots, there was basically nothing left for him to do at the scene. He opened the factory door and walked out. ¡°You can check the university entrance examination results tomorrow¡­¡± ¡°I wonder how many marks I can score this time.¡± ¡­ Chapter 259 - 259 Came in First in the University Entrance Examination 259 Came in First in the University Entrance Examination At this moment, in front of Li Chengqian¡¯s house. Wang Lingbo, who had already been promoted to the Head of the Education Bureau, and the Head of Tianyi City Education Bureau. Wang Jianjia, who had already been promoted as the Principal of Tianyi High School, and the Vice Principal and other leaders of Tianyi High School. There were also reporters from Tianyi City¡¯s official media armed with their cameras. Under the leadership of the estate manager, they had already gathered at Li Chengqian¡¯s door. Everyone¡¯s faces were flushed with excitement. Many of the residents who were taking a walk in the neighborhood came over curiously to watch the commotion when they saw such a large crowd gathered at Li Chengqian¡¯s door. ¡°That¡¯s the new Head of the Education Bureau, Wang Lingbo. Why is he here?¡± The people living in this neighborhood were either rich or noble. They knew many officials. ¡°It¡¯s not just Wang Lingbo. All the leaders of the city¡¯s Education Bureau are also here!¡± Someone recognized the other leaders in the crowd. ¡°I remember that this family has just moved in not long ago. Only the old couple live here. They look and dress very ordinary¡­ Could it be that they¡¯re some big shot?¡± Chen Li and Li Tianlan would wander around the district to kill time. When they did so, they were dressed ordinarily, so no one paid much attention to them. ¡°I¡¯ll take a good look at what kind of person this old couple is later. How are they worthy of mobilizing the entire Education System to personally come to their doorstep.¡± Many people had this thought. At this moment, the estate manager who was leading the way for Wang Lingbo and the others said with a smile, ¡°Leader, this is Li Tianlan¡¯s unit! Shall I go and ask them out for you now?¡± ¡°No need, no need. I¡¯ll do it myself. This will show respect.¡± Wang Lingbo smiled and declined this suggestion. He solemnly adjusted his clothes and hair. With a kind smile on his face, he went to the door and pressed the doorbell. ¡­ In the villa, Li Chengqian¡¯s family of three was having their meal. ¡°Son, you can¡¯t finish earning all the money. Look at you. You just finished the university entrance examination. You didn¡¯t rest and immediately went to the factory to do research! You were gone for more than ten days¡­ You¡¯re not allowed to do this in the future!¡± Chen Li said with a pained expression. Then, she picked up a large piece of chicken and placed it in Li Chengqian¡¯s bowl. ¡°Okay, Mom! Yum, your cooking is the best!¡± Chen Li¡¯s nagging did not make Li Chengqian impatient at all. Instead, he felt loved and he was all smiles. He was enjoying this nagging. Just then, the doorbell rang. Ding-dong! Ding-dong! ¡°Who could it be at this time?¡± Chen Li stood up and glanced at the intercom system. Then, she saw the crowd of people on the screen and was shocked. On closer look, she realized that Wang Lingbo was standing at the front of the crowd with a smile on his face. Chen Li immediately recognized Wang Lingbo. ¡°Son, it¡¯s your principal, Wang Lingbo. Why did he bring so many people to our house!¡± Chen Li was a little puzzled. Li Tianlan also stood up and walked towards the door with Li Chengqian. ¡°Principal Wang, what are you guys doing?¡± Li Chengqian looked at the dense crowd and was also shocked. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred people. When Wang Lingbo saw Li Chengqian¡¯s family come out, the smile on his face became even more brilliant. He grabbed Li Chengqian¡¯s hand and said loudly with excitement in his voice, ¡°Li Chengqian, congratulations!¡± ¡°You scored 769 marks in the university entrance examination!¡± ¡°Your results are number one in Jinshan Province!¡± ¡°Number one in the country!¡± ¡°You¡¯re this year¡¯s top scorer in Jinshan Province!¡± ¡°You are also the top scorer of the university entrance examination this year!¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± After Wang Lingbo finished speaking, he let go of Li Chengqian¡¯s hand and applauded! Everyone who came also applauded hard to congratulate Li Chengqian. When the onlookers heard what Wang Lingbo said, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. ¡°The top scorer of the university entrance examination! The top scorer in the country! How impressive!¡± ¡°The top scorer of the university entrance examination this year is actually from our neighborhood. It¡¯s unbelievable! Our neighborhood is awesome!¡± ¡°Wait, 769 marks? Is this true? Isn¡¯t the full score only 750 marks?¡± ¡°He scored 769 marks. This exceeded full marks? How is this possible!¡± ¡°Wang Lingbo might have made a mistake!¡± ¡°Wait, Wang Lingbo seemed to have said ¡°Li Chengqian¡±?¡± Someone¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. Li Chengqian¡¯s name was known by almost everyone in Tianyi! ¡°Li Chengqian is the top scorer of the university entrance examination!¡± ¡°Heavens, Li Chengqian actually lives in the same neighborhood as us!¡± ¡°The two people beside Li Chengqian should be his parents!¡± ¡°Heavens, if I had known that these two were Li Chengqian¡¯s parents, I would have gone to chat with them every day and visit them.¡± Someone felt extremely regretful. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect these two people to be Li Chengqian¡¯s parents. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll find an opportunity to chat with them.¡± On Wang Lingbo¡¯s signal, the applause stopped. ¡°Li Chengqian, you scored 749 marks in the exam. You have another 20 marks for the provincial medal for bravery! Therefore, your total score is 769 marks!¡± Wang Lingbo explained. When the onlookers heard the explanation, they were enlightened. ¡°I see!¡± ¡°Even without the bonus marks, Li Chengqian still scored 749 marks. He was only one mark away from scoring full marks. Li Chengqian is simply a genius. He¡¯s really too amazing.¡± ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°I wonder how he got this head. If only my son was half as smart as him!¡± ¡°If I had such a son, I would be willing to give up ten years of my life.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really amazing.¡± Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with admiration and envy. ¡°Mr. Li, Madam Chen! Thank you for nurturing such an outstanding child for the country!¡± As Wang Lingbo spoke, he shook hands with the smiling Li Tianlan and his wife. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s results and achievements are the results of your continuous nurturing!¡± Wang Lingbo said with a smile. Li Tianlan was beaming. He was overjoyed. He was usually a man of few words. Now that he was so excited, all the more he could only say, ¡°Principal Wang, thank you. The credit goes to the school.¡± Chen Li was a woman and was much more meticulous than Li Tianlan. When she heard that Li Chengqian had scored so well, she was especially happy. She was so excited that tears flowed down her face. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± When Li Chengqian saw this, he panicked and hurriedly pulled Chen Li. ¡°Son, I¡¯m so happy. I¡¯ve never been so happy in my life! Being able to see you grow up and become a talent makes me happier than anything else.¡± Chen Li smiled as she cried. Li Chengqian walked over and hugged her. ¡°Li Chengqian, when Officer Shu Wen heard that you came in first in the university entrance examination, he was very happy. Because he was on a business trip, he asked me to congratulate you. He said that he would personally congratulate you after he is back.¡± Wang Lingbo spoke again after Chen Li composed herself, sending Li Chengqian greetings from Tianyi City¡¯s most senior official. Just then, Li Chengqian¡¯s phone rang. He looked down and saw a message from Shu Wen. ¡°Brother Li, congratulations!¡± Right on the heels of that, a message from the head of the Provincial Police Bureau arrived. ¡°Li Chengqian, good job. Congratulations.¡± Thereafter, Li Chengqian¡¯s phone kept ringing. Countless messages were sent to him. Seniors, relatives, teachers, classmates, friends, colleagues, business partners, and so on sent their greetings immediately. Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and other academicians that Li Chengqian knew, as well as the president of Divine Dragon University, also sent messages to Li Chengqian to express their congratulations. In addition to congratulations, they invited Li Chengqian to enroll at their institutions. Not long after, the bosses of Baidu, Tencent , and the various companies that had collaborations with Li Chengqian also messaged him. The Chairman of the National Communications Company, Zhou Shaoyun, the CEO of the National Chip Company, Wang Yizhi, and so on all sent Li Chengqian their congratulations. Everyone who knew the Divine Dragon Software Company also sent Li Chengqian their congratulations. Li Chengqian¡¯s phone was filled with congratulatory messages very quickly. Wang Jianjia recorded the scene just now and sent it to the WeChat group of Grade 12 Class 5. ¡°Li Chengqian is number one in the country! 769 marks!¡± In an instant, the entire chat group was buzzing with messages. ¡°Awesome Li! impressive!¡± ¡°I¡¯m envious!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious!¡± ¡°I¡¯m turning green with envy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s simply superhuman. After deducting the additional 20 marks from the provincial medal for bravery, Li Chengqian actually scored 749 marks! He was only one point away from scoring full marks. He¡¯s a superhuman!¡± ¡°I can only look up to him!¡± ¡°Admiration!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°An unprecedented 769 marks. Li Chengqian¡¯s name will be recorded in the university entrance examination hall of fame and will have a place in history.¡± ¡°A score that exceeds full marks. This is an unprecedented result!¡± ¡°Really, I¡¯m stunned!¡± ¡°I really regret not taking the initiative to pursue Li Chengqian when I was in my first year of high school.¡± In the class group chat, the boys were extremely envious. As for the girls, while they were envious, many of them had regrets in their hearts. They were thinking how nice it would be if they had taken the initiative to pursue Li Chengqian in their first year of high school! ¡°I¡¯ll forward the information to other classes and make them envious too!¡± Some students shared the information to the group chats of other classes. It caused many people to be extremely envious and jealous! They wished they were Li Chengqian. ¡°Your class has a Li Chengqian. It¡¯s enough for you to brag about for the rest of your lives!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious of you guys. You guys know Li Chengqian and are classmates with him. In the future, as long as it¡¯s not too hard, you should be able to get a chance to work at the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°These results are unprecedented! How impressive! Awesome!¡± ¡°If I were you, I would think of ways to cozy up to Li Chengqian. Any favor Li Chengqian tosses my way would be enough to enrich me for the rest of my life.¡± ¡­ Chapter 260 - 260 Choosing a University 260 Choosing a University On July 24th, Tianyi High School organized the university application exercise. Li Chengqian arrived at Tianyi High School early in the morning. The best universities in the country had already sent their Jinshan Province student recruitment representatives to Tianyi High School. They were standing at the entrance of Grade 12 Class 5. When they saw Li Chengqian appear, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up and they walked towards him. ¡°Li Chengqian, Divine Dragon University is the best school in the country. Please choose us. We have the facilities to support all your research projects.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m a student recruitment representative from the Academy of Sciences. Please come to our school. The Academy of Sciences is the country¡¯s strongest research institute. We have supercomputers and 13 academicians in information technology. It will be of great help to your information technology research.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, Qinghua University has the best environment and we offer a lot of flexibility in courses. Join our school!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, Fudan University is the most liberal university. You don¡¯t have to come to class all the time. You can graduate as long as you can pass the final exam and the dissertation.¡± All the schools offered their best conditions, hoping that Li Chengqian would choose their school. The students of Grade 12 Class 5 craned their necks to listen to the situation outside. Almost everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Li Chengqian with admiration. ¡°Li Chengqian is awesome!¡± ¡°Impressive! All the elite schools in the country have come here for Li Chengqian. They all hope that Li Chengqian will study at their school.¡± ¡°If any of the recruitment teachers outside invites me, I¡¯ll agree immediately.¡± ¡°F*ck, how dare you say that? You only scored 450 marks! Who would invite you to study at their school?¡± ¡°What an honor it is. For us, we are begging to enroll at the school. For Li Chengqian, the school is begging him to enroll.¡± Li Chengqian politely declined everyone¡¯s invitation amidst the students¡¯ soft discussions and envious gazes. Actually, these schools had already sent him an admission notice before the university entrance examination. If he had wanted to go to these schools, he could have enrolled directly. He didn¡¯t need to fill in his application at all. Li Chengqian walked into the classroom. All the students smiled and greeted him. Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian with a sweet smile on her face. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yep!¡± Li Chengqian nodded and sat down beside Jian Qingli. At this moment, Wang Jianjia, who had already been promoted as Principal of Tianyi High School, walked in. Her eyes swept across the classroom. When she found that Li Chengqian was also there, the smile on her face became even wider. Li Chengqian¡¯s results in this exam were within her expectations. 691 marks! She scored 680 points in the actual exam, and she got 10 marks for the bravery award. 691 marks. Jian Qingli came in second place in Tianyi High School, second place in Tianyi City, and fifth place in Jinshan Province! This allowed Tianyi High School, an ordinary high school, to get two spots in the top five of Jinshan Province. The school¡¯s reputation spread like wildfire. It was even compared to Tianbao High School, the best middle school in Jinshan Province. ¡°Hello, students!¡± Wang Jianjia said with a smile. ¡°Our class did very well in the university entrance examination this time!¡± ¡°First place in the province, Li Chengqian, scored 769 marks! He broke the highest record in the university entrance examination. This is a historical result. This result has already become a trending topic. The television station has also done a special report.¡± ¡°Fifth place in the province, Jian Qingli, scored 691 marks! She has also made great improvements! Her results surprised everyone.¡± ¡°Because of these two students, Tianyi High School¡¯s teaching standards have been recognized by everyone!¡± At this point, Wang Jianjia¡¯s face was flushed. When Wang Jianjia was speaking, Jian Qingli gently nudged Li Chengqian and whispered, ¡°Li Chengqian, how are you going to fill in your university application?¡± ¡°All the top universities in the country have sent you their acceptance letters. Where are you going to study?¡± ¡°Coincidentally, the school I want to go to hasn¡¯t sent me a notice!¡± Li Chengqian also replied softly. When he was just reborn, Li Chengqian wanted to get into a university, a good university, such as Divine Dragon University. Later on, after the abilities of the Master of All Professions game appeared in reality, Li Chengqian changed his mind. Since all the skills of the Master of All Professions game had become reality. Would the aliens in the game become a reality? There was a high possibility! What if the alien invasion really became a reality? Could it be that 90% of the human race would be killed by the virus released by the aliens, just like in the game? And then he would be forced to hide underground? No way! After careful consideration, Li Chengqian made a decision. After the university entrance examination, he would not go anywhere else but Tianyi City! Although Tianyi City was relatively remote, its geographical location was not bad. It was only dozens of kilometers away from the sea. In Tianyi City, there was a river that was connected to the sea. It was very convenient to go out to sea. Moreover, the land was vast and it was not densely populated. It was easy to find a large piece of land here. The Divine Dragon Software Company had started out on this land, and its network and resources were also here. Moreover, to Li Chengqian, he was only going to university so that he could take on the University Student profession. It didn¡¯t matter to him at all which university he went to. ¡°Then where exactly are you going to study? You have to tell me first so that I can fill in my application,¡± Jian Qingli said firmly. She only meant one thing. She would go wherever Li Chengqian was going. ¡°I¡¯m going to choose Tianyi Normal University, Biology faculty.¡± When Jian Qingli heard this, she thought she had heard wrongly. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°Ah?¡± Li Chengqian smiled and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s Tianyi Normal University.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s words not only stunned Jian Qingli, but the surrounding students who heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words were also stunned. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with extreme surprise. Wang Jianjia happened to walk to Li Chengqian¡¯s side at this moment. She was also going to ask Li Chengqian what school he wanted to apply to. Wang Jianjia happened to hear Li Chengqian¡¯s words and was stunned. ¡°What on earth?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, why did you choose Tianyi Normal University?¡± Wang Jianjia asked in confusion. She couldn¡¯t understand why he chose such a school instead of all the other famous schools. Wang Jianjia¡¯s question was the question everyone had in their hearts. ¡°Teacher Wang, then what school do you think I should choose with my qualifications? What good will it do me to choose another school?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. Teacher Wang Jianjia was about to say what she would usually say to the other students, but after thinking about it, she realized¡­ There was nothing to say. Because Li Chengqian¡¯s choice was the best choice for Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian now had hundreds of billions of yuan in wealth. He had already achieved financial freedom. He didn¡¯t need to study to make a living at all. In terms of science and technology, Li Chengqian had already attained a master level. He was named a deity on the Internet and was recognized as the number one in the world. To Li Chengqian, no matter which school he chose, it wouldn¡¯t affect him at all, nor would it bring him any benefits. In fact, many famous schools invited Li Chengqian to study with impure motives. They invited Li Chengqian to enroll at their schools on the pretext of studying, but their actual motive was to get him to teach information technology! For Li Chengqian to go to a famous school, other than having a better reputation, there was no benefit to him personally. As for Tianyi Normal University, it was just an ordinary second-tier university, and it was even in Tianyi City. After Li Chengqian chose Tianyi Normal University, the University would definitely not dare to have any designs on him. Moreover, while Li Chengqian was studying, he could also manage the Divine Dragon Software Company. To Li Chengqian, choosing Tianyi Normal University was indeed the best choice. ¡°Alright! I respect your choice,¡± Wang Jianjia said helplessly. She felt regretful in her heart because it was a student¡¯s honor to be accepted by a famous school. There was nothing she could do if Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to go. ¡°Fortunately, a dark horse like Jian Qingli appeared. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to go to a famous school to study. With Jian Qingli here, the school¡¯s reputation will be greatly boosted!¡± Wang Jianjia looked at Jian Qingli. Jian Qingli had a score of 691 marks. She could choose any university. ¡°Jian Qingli, what about you? Are you going to the Academy of Sciences, Divine Dragon University, or Tsinghua University?¡± While Wang Jianjia was asking, the other students also looked over curiously. Jian Qingli was conflicted. She looked at the smiling Li Chengqian and spoke. ¡°Teacher, I¡­¡± Chapter 261 - 261 Final Preparations 1 261 Final Preparations 1 ¡°I want to go to Tianyi Normal University too!¡± Jian Qingli said firmly. ¡°Ah?¡± Wang Jianjia almost thought that she had heard wrongly. She widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Jian Qingli. The students around Jian Qingli couldn¡¯t believe it when they heard what she said. ¡°Wait a minute, Li Chengqian chose to go to Tianyi Normal University, and Jian Qingli is also choosing to go to this school¡­ Jian Qingli is pursuing Li Chengqian?¡± Someone quickly made the connection and thought of this possibility. ¡°Jian Qingli is really willing to give up the chance to study in an elite school for Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°Men are not reliable at all. Giving up your future to chase after Li Chengqian is the silliest thing to do. Education, knowledge, and school will always be yours, but not necessarily men.¡± A girl in the class shook her head. ¡°Damn, I¡¯m so envious! Jian Qingli obviously chose Tianyi Normal University for Li Chengqian.¡± The boys were extremely envious. ¡°Do you think Jian Qingli and Li Chengqian are secretly a couple?¡± After hearing the students discussing softly, Wang Jianjia finally reacted. She glanced at Li Chengqian and asked Jian Qingli out of the classroom. ¡°Jian Qingli, I still suggest you choose Divine Dragon University.¡± ¡°In addition to being pretty, a girl also has to be knowledgeable, capable and have a career. Only such a woman can be beautiful and charming for a long time.¡± ¡°If you really like someone, you should work even harder on yourself to become a better person! To be able to assist your partner in his career is the way to sustain your relationship.¡± ¡°Jian Qingli, it¡¯s true that you¡¯re young and pretty now, but you¡¯ll grow old one day. By then, when your beauty is gone, what will others like about you?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a capable person, the person you like needs you in his career. He won¡¯t leave you easily.¡± Wang Jianjia looked at Jian Qingli and smiled, ¡°You¡¯re a smart child. I don¡¯t have to say too much. You know what I mean.¡± ¡°I suggest you choose the management course at Divine Dragon University!¡± ¡°You have two days to fill in the application form. There¡¯s no hurry to do it today. Think about it carefully. Go home and seek your parents¡¯ opinions before making a decision.¡± ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m really sorry. I still want to go to Tianyi Normal University,¡± Jian Qingli said firmly. She had already made the wrong choice once. This time, she would not make the wrong choice again! When Wang Jianjia heard this, she felt helpless. Two students who came in top five of the university entrance examination in Jinshan Province. Two talents who could enroll in elite schools. And they chose Tianyi Normal University in the end. After filling in the application form, Jian Qingli and Li Chengqian walked out together. ¡°Jian Qingli, haven¡¯t you always wanted to study at Divine Dragon University? Why did you choose Tianyi Normal University?¡± Li Chengqian asked. ¡°Because you¡¯re here! That¡¯s why I chose this place! I can¡¯t leave you anymore,¡± Jian Qingli said openly. ¡°Moreover, I know my usual results very well. My actual results would be about 520 points. You¡¯re the one who helped me get such good results this time. It doesn¡¯t count. Even if I go to Divine Dragon University, I won¡¯t be able to keep up with the learning pace of others,¡± Jian Qingli said with a smile. ¡°Are you worried that if I go to Tianyi Normal University, it will affect your relationship with Ding Ling?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be intimate with you in public! I won¡¯t affect you and Ding Ling.¡± ¡­ At Sunset, in the Assistant¡¯s office. ¡°Mr. Rafe, how¡¯s the preparation of your ROM system going?¡± The Assistant¡¯s tone was cold and ruthless. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the preparation work went faster than planned. We¡¯ve already completed 95% of the work! The production of ROM has been completed! It¡¯s being urgently transported to other countries.¡± Rafe was in high spirits. Three hundred million sets of the ROM system t for computers and server systems were being prepared. With the help of the Assistant, all of them were Windows systems. This was also Windows¡¯ final gamble. After the plan was successfully implemented, Windows would immediately regain the lion¡¯s share of the operating systems market. Of course, this was on condition that the plan was carried out smoothly. If the plan could not be carried out smoothly, Windows would go bankrupt! This was because the ROM of the branch domain name resolution server was purchased at Sunset¡¯s expense, but other versions of the ROM system were produced at Windows¡¯ expense. For 300 million sets of the ROM system, the hardware alone cost Windows 60 billion yuan! If this part of the ROM system could not be sold, it would basically be a fatal blow to Windows. However, Rafe was very confident in selling it. Based on their understanding of the Divine Dragon System, it was an online operating system. It had very high level anti hacking and anti piracy measures in place. However, it was precisely because of this that the Divine Dragon System relied more on the internet than all the other operating systems. Moreover, the Divine Dragon System had a fatal flaw, which was that it was incompatible with IP allocation and resolution. As long as the branch domain name resolution server system was replaced, the IP protocol originally set by Sunset would be used. Within the region of the branch domain name resolution server service, The Divine Dragon System would not be able to connect to the server because it is not compatible with the IP protocol. And then¡­ Chapter 262 - 262 Final Preparations 2 262 Final Preparations 2 The Divine Dragon System could not be used normally! The system desktop couldn¡¯t even be assessed. When the Divine Dragon System couldn¡¯t be used normally, the users only had one choice, and that was the Windows¡¯ ROM system. ¡°Mr. Assistant, all ROM systems will arrive at their destination in three days.¡± ¡°Do you think we need to bring the plan forward?¡± Rafe said excitedly. ¡°Everything will go according to the original plan! I have to ensure that I shatter the Divine Dragon¡¯s plan on the internet in one fell swoop. I definitely can¡¯t give the Divine Dragon a chance to turn the tables.¡± The Assistant shook his head, and his tone was extremely cold. ¡°Rafe, although we have done a test run in Northern Han, it¡¯s not safe enough¡­¡± ¡°To be on the safe side, we need to conduct at least one more test run! We can only activate the plan after the test run is successful!¡± ¡°This time, we must ensure that we kill the Divine Dragon¡¯s plan in one strike. We must wipe the Divine Dragon off the face of the internet, and make sure they won¡¯t be able to make a comeback in the next 50 years.¡± ¡°The Kangaroo Plains is the next country we want to do the test run in! I recall all the relevant equipment has been shipped over, right?¡± the Assistant asked. ¡°Yes, Mr. Assistant.¡± Rafe nodded. ¡°Go to the Kangaroo Plains today and preside over this test run! I¡¯ll get the Kangaroo Plains to fully cooperate with you.¡± The Assistant ordered. After Rafe left, the Assistant looked at the world map across the desk and a smile slowly formed on his lips. ¡°This time, it¡¯s a one-shot kill!¡± ¡°Kill all your hopes of controlling the internet.¡± ¡°The internet was invented by Sunset. It will always belong to Sunset. No one can take it away.¡± ¡°Anyone who tries to take control will be dealt a fatal blow.¡± ¡°When the test run on the Kangaroo Plains is done and the plan is confirmed to be sound, it will be time for your dreams to be shattered.¡± ¡°Moreover, do you think that our warships sailing on the ocean are only parading? Showing off their strength?¡± ¡°Do you think that Sunset¡¯s method is just to replace the branch domain name resolution server?¡± ¡­ Rafe knew it was urgent, thus he didn¡¯t dare delay. He worked very quickly and by the same afternoon, he had reached the Kangaroo Plains. ¡°Mr. Rafe, we¡¯re ready. The ROM system has been installed on the backup server.¡± ¡°If you want to switch the system of the branch domain name resolution server, you only need to restart the server and set the backup server as the main server!¡± ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s restart the server!¡± Rafe said with a smile. The moment the staff restarted the server. Bai Ze¡¯s notification sounded almost at the same time. ¡°Detected that the domain name resolution server of the Kangaroo Plains branch is switching systems. The Divine Dragon System is shutting down¡­¡± ¡°Do you want to activate the MAC automatic network of the Kangaroo Plains?¡± All the equipment and network modules of the Divine Dragon System around the world had been updated in the background. The regional automated networking technology can already be activated to counter any replacement of the branch domain name resolution server at Sunset. Li Chengqian had actually been waiting for Sunset to make a move. After hearing Bai Ze¡¯s report, he suddenly raised his head and gave an order after thinking for a while. ¡°Wait, don¡¯t activate the automatic networking technology for the time being!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a period of time. If there are large-scale changes to the branch domain name resolution server worldwide, that will be the time for us to activate the automatic network technology.¡± ¡°Sunset wants to compete for the share of the operating system and control the root domain name service by changing the branch domain name resolution server.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for them to do everything!¡± ¡°Then deal them the fatal blow just when they are rejoicing.¡± After the update of the network module was completed, even if the branch domain name resolution server was replaced with the ROM system, Bai Ze could still communicate and transmit to the computers installed with the Divine Dragon System. At that time, once Li Chengqian gave the order, Bai Ze only needed to send a line of code to the computers installed with the Divine Dragon System on the Kangaroo Plains. The automatic network would be activated in the equipment that had been installed with the Divine Dragon System on the Kangaroo Plains. However, this way, if the computer could not be used normally during this period of time, it would cause many people to switch from the Divine Dragon System to the Windows ROM system. It would be inevitable to lose a portion of the users. ¡­ As the Kangaroo Plains server restarted, it switched to the ROM system. On the screen of the Iceman Project control center at the Academy of Sciences, the area representing the Kangaroo Plains suddenly turned from green to red. ¡°Warning, the domain name resolution server of the Kangaroo Plains has been shut down!¡± An ear-piercing electronic alarm sounded from the speaker. Academician Lin Qu suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were filled with worry as he turned to look at the big screen in the command center. Tian Zhi, who was walking out with Academician Lin Qu, also turned around with a solemn expression. He looked at the big screen and had a very bad feeling. ¡°Check with the people in the Kangaroo Plains if their server is malfunctioning.¡± Not long after, Xiaozhang, who was in charge of contacting the Kangaroo Plains, put down the phone and reported solemnly, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Director Tian, I just communicated with the Kangaroo Plains. They said¡­¡± Chapter 263 - 263 Final Preparations 3 263 Final Preparations 3 ¡°They¡¯ve ditched the Iceman Project root domain name server.¡± ¡°They have abandoned the branch domain name resolution server system provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°They¡¯ve replaced the domain name resolution server system with the Windows ROM system.¡± ¡°And they¡¯re once again integrated into Sunset¡¯s root domain server system.¡± After hearing Xiaozhang¡¯s report, the atmosphere in the Iceman Project control center immediately became tense. No one said anything, but they looked indignantly at the huge Kangaroo Plains that had turned red on the big screen. ¡°They¡¯ve made their move!¡± The worry in Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes intensified. The Kangaroo Plains was only the beginning. It was unknown how many countries would leave the Iceman Project in the future. ¡°Although I had expected this, it is still hard to face it. I am reluctant and unwilling! The results I achieved due to a combination of hard work and good timing are now being taken away by Sunset just like that.¡± Tian Zhi stared at the big screen, his eyes filled with reluctance. Academician Lin Qu was silent for a long time before he said, ¡°This is just the beginning! It will become even harder later on!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Apart from staying calm, what else can we do?¡± Tian Zhi smiled bitterly. ¡°Although it¡¯s not good that someone took our share of the Iceman Project. Look on the bright side, at least we now know who our friends are!¡± Academician Zeroqu said with a bitter smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that this time, because of our competition with Sunset over control of the internet, Li Chengqian was implicated and had to suffer with us.¡± ¡°In order to make it difficult to replace the Iceman Project after its deployment, he specially set up the Divine Dragon system. The System only supports the IP resolution service of the Iceman Project. It¡¯s not compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP resolution at all.¡± ¡°Now that Sunset is trying to kill the Iceman Project and to take back control of the internet at all costs, they will definitely replace all the branch domain name resolution servers!¡± ¡°After the branch domain name resolution server of every country and region is replaced, the Iceman Project will fail, and the Divine Dragon System will also face problems and won¡¯t be able to function normally.¡± ¡°In the end, the user can only replace the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°This way, the Divine Dragon System will lose most of its market.¡± Academician Lin Qu had guilt in his eyes. Tian Zhi frowned and thought for a moment before suggesting a solution. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, I think Sunset is determined to kill the Iceman Project¡­ The branch domain name resolution server system will definitely be replaced!¡± ¡°In order to cut losses, let Li Chengqian change the code so that Divine Dragon System and Sunset¡¯s IP resolution can be compatible!¡± ¡°In this way, even if the Iceman Project is dead, at least the Divine Dragon System is still around!¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Academician Lin Qu shook his head. ¡°Tian Zhi, I¡¯ve already spoken to Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°But he didn¡¯t agree!¡± ¡°He¡¯ll stand with us!¡± ¡°Alright, continue to watch things here. Call me immediately If there¡¯s any development.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call Li Chengqian again to persuade him!¡± ¡°The situation is very clear now. I don¡¯t think we can hold on to the Iceman Project.¡± ¡°We lost on the Iceman project, but we can¡¯t lose on the operating system again,¡± Academician Lin Qu said with deep regret on his face. ¡­ Chapter 264 - 264 The Divine Dragons Little Scheme 264 The Divine Dragon¡¯s Little Scheme Dagen was an ordinary university student in Kangaroo Plains. He was doing design work using the intelligent CAD software provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company. He had just entered the relevant parameters into the software, and calculation work was in progress. A progress bar had already appeared on the computer screen. Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared on his computer screen. ¡°Dear user, due to a change in the domain name resolution server system of this region, the network protocol of the Divine Dragon System is no longer supported. We apologize for this.¡± ¡°Therefore, the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t connect to the internet and can no longer serve you!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System will continue to serve you after you have connected to the network.¡± After the computer displayed this pop-up notification, it was completely hung. There was no longer any reaction. No matter what Dagen, there would be repeated notifications that the Software couldn¡¯t be used. ¡°F*ck, how could this be! The Doomsday Extortion Virus has just left, and my studies and life have just returned to normal. Why can¡¯t the Divine Dragon System be used all of a sudden?¡± Dagen was very upset. Hans, who lived in the same dormitory as him, stood up from his stool and cursed, ¡°F*ck, damn it! Why can¡¯t I go online or play the game? Who did this? I¡¯m going to blow his head off!¡± Hans was playing League of Legends, a game from the Divine Dragon Country! Moreover, he was playing the international version. Just as he was making things hard for a person from Sunset, he got disconnected from the internet suddenly. The game interface disappeared all of a sudden, and only an inoperable pop-up window occupied the entire screen. ¡°It was done by the Kangaroo Plains officials. The branch domain name resolution server is under the management of the Kangaroo Plains officials. We need to change the system in the branch domain name resolution server. Only the Kangaroo Plains officials have the ability to do so,¡± Dagen said in a low voice. ¡°I don¡¯t care what¡¯s on the Kangaroo Plains¡¯ mind. I don¡¯t care what system they changed. As long as it doesn¡¯t affect my internet access, it¡¯s fine. I can¡¯t go online now. They have to solve this problem.¡± Hans roared manically. ¡°Let¡¯s go look for our classmates and the teachers in our school!¡± ¡°This problem must be solved for us!¡± Hans walked out with Dagen, his face full of displeasure. In the entire Kangaroo Plains, most people felt the same way as Hans. When they realized that they couldn¡¯t go online, many people became angry and manic. Then, they joined forces and took into the streets, starting a huge protest. ¡­ In the branch domain name resolution server room in Canberra, after the branch domain name resolution server was restarted, two test computers were placed in front of Rafe and Reagan, Director of the Kangaroo Plains Information Department. The Divine Dragon System was installed on one computer, and the Windows ROM system was installed on the other computer. Originally, although the computer installed with the Windows ROM system was connected to the internet, it could not obtain an IP address or connect to the internet. Everything was working normally on the computer installed with the Divine Dragon System. After the branch domain name resolution server was restarted, the computer that was installed with the Windows ROM system functioned normally right away. With a smug smile on his lips, Rafe entered the official website of Windows into the browser. The site came up at once promptly. ¡°Mr. Reagan, welcome back to Sunset¡¯s arms!¡± ¡°You¡¯ll soon know how wise your choice is!¡± ¡°You have to always remember that the internet was created in Sunset, so control of the internet will always be in the hands of Sunset. No one can take it away from Sunset.¡± ¡°Northern Han was the first to return to Sunset. You guys are second¡­¡± ¡°Soon, everyone will come back.¡± Rafe¡¯s eyes were filled with confidence. He was full of confidence in this plan. Then, Rafe¡¯s gaze fell on the computer installed with the Divine Dragon System. A pop-up window occupied the entire desktop. It was still the same sentence. ¡°Dear user, due to a change in the domain name resolution server system of this region, the network protocol of the Divine Dragon System is no longer supported. We apologize for this.¡± ¡°Therefore, the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t connect to the internet and can no longer serve you!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System will continue to serve you after you have connected to the network.¡± A triumphant look flashed in Rafe¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Divine Dragon System is indeed a very good system.¡± ¡°Because it¡¯s an online operating system, it can prevent anyone from piracy.¡± ¡°However, the Divine Dragon System also has a fatal flaw. It relies heavily on the internet. In an environment without the internet, the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t be used at all.¡± ¡°In addition, under the arrangement of the Divine Dragon government, the System is bound to the Iceman Project and is not compatible with the IP protocol set by Sunset. They want to use this method to force everyone to use the Iceman Project¡¯s domain name server.¡± ¡°They probably think that with the combination of the Iceman Project and the Divine Dragon System, no one in the world can shake their dominance on the internet.¡± ¡°But they were wrong about one thing!¡± ¡°They underestimated Sunset¡¯s determination!¡± ¡°Therefore, in the process of eliminating the Iceman Project, the Divine Dragon System will also have to be destroyed.¡± ¡°Look, the Divine Dragon Software Company is still looking forward to restoring the internet? They¡¯re simply daydreaming because Project Iceman will never recover.¡± While Rafe was being smug, Reagan, the Director of the Kangaroo Plains Information Department, was breaking out in sweat beside him. His sparse hair was covered in sweat. ¡°What is going on?¡± ¡°During the test run in Northern Han, the notification from the Divine Dragon System only indicated that the network connection had failed and that it could not provide services!¡± ¡°Why is the Divine Dragon System¡¯s notification so explicit when it comes to us?¡± This notification was simply too vicious. Through this notification, everyone would know that there was a problem with the network this time. The reason why the Divine Dragon System couldn¡¯t be used was because the Kangaroo Plains had changed the system of the branch domain name resolution server. According to the original plan of Reagan and the others, after the branch domain name analysis server was replaced, they would release information and push all the blame for the failure of the Divine Dragon System to the Divine Dragon Software Company. The plan was to divert the conflict in the country. However, the Divine Dragon System¡¯s notification completely messed up the Kangaroo Plains government¡¯s plan. ¡°Oh my god, I have to explain the situation to the leaders immediately and organize a force to deal with the possible riots in the Kangaroo Plains.¡± Reagan immediately thought that many people would point their fingers at the officials after seeing the notification. A protest would definitely be inevitable. ¡°Oh, that damn Divine Dragon Software Company! They actually did this! This is too much. It is our business which branch domain name analysis server we choose to use. They actually want to use such a shameless method to force us to switch back to their branch domain name resolution server?¡± After Reagan cursed, he looked at Rafe with an extremely serious expression. ¡°Mr. Rafe, I have to deal with the possible demonstrations and protests immediately. I¡¯ll have to ask my assistant to accompany you.¡± Reagan waved at the blonde who had been following him. ¡°Ruth, you¡¯ll accompany Mr. Rafe for the time being.¡± Rafe¡¯s eyes lit up. He took a look at the beautiful Ruth and was tempted. Along the way, he had long noticed this young and beautiful girl with a great figure and charming eyes. ¡°Yes, Mr. Reagan.¡± ¡°Mr. Rafe, I¡¯ll make a move first!¡± Reagan greeted him and left in a hurry. Ruth¡¯s looks made Rafe¡¯s heart flutter. ¡°She¡¯s top-notch. It¡¯s so tempting.¡± But his mission wasn¡¯t complete yet, and he didn¡¯t dare hold up the business that Mr. Assistant had asked him to take care of. ¡°Miss Ruth, please take me to your National Network Dispatch. I need to know the status of the branch domain name resolution server after the system has been replaced.¡± ¡°Please come with me.¡± As for the Divine Dragon System¡¯s scheme, Rafe was not surprised. In fact, he felt that it was only to be expected. When the test run was done in Northern Han, the branch domain name resolution server was changed very suddenly. The Divine Dragon Software Company was caught off guard, so they couldn¡¯t use their dirty tricks. After changing the server system in Northern Han, it would be abnormal if the Divine Dragon Software Company didn¡¯t do anything in response. It was very likely that the Divine Dragon Software Company was plotting some scheme. Therefore, after seeing the pop-up notification, Rafe heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°In addition to the branch domain name resolution server, there are also IP distribution servers in various areas in the Kangaroo Plains that need to be changed!¡± ¡°I can go back after the IP allocation servers in each area have been changed to the ROM system and are running normally.¡± ¡°I have to think of a way to have my way with her before I leave¡­¡± Rafe¡¯s gaze landed on Ruth, his eyes burning. Chapter 265 - 265 Setback for the Iceman Project 265 Setback for the Iceman Project Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian¡¯s private studio. At this moment, a map similar to the one at the Academy of Sciences was displayed on the big screen. Areas in green represented the equipment installed with the Divine Dragon System. On the map, other than the uninhabited areas, there were green spots everywhere. Some places had more green spots, some had less. Even in Northern Han, there were still a lot of green spots flashing. It was just that the density was not as high as elsewhere. In Northern Han, there was another number, 13.54 million! This was the number of all the equipment in Northern Han that had installed the Divine Dragon System. It was about half of all the computers in Northern Han. In other words, although the Divine Dragon System could no longer be used in Northern Han, half of the people were still waiting for the Divine Dragon System to return to normal use. ¡®Why?¡¯ This was because replacing the system with the Windows ROM system was very expensive! The price of the Windows ROM system was 2,000 yuan! For everyone, this was not a small sum. Moreover, they had just bought the right to use the Divine Dragon System for a year. They had just paid the money not long ago. Many people were unwilling to spend money to change the system now. Many people were prepared to wait and see. In the Kangaroo Plains area, the branch domain name resolution server had been shut down for three days. Originally, 9.85 million computers had installed the Divine Dragon System. After three days, only 7.3 million of these computers did not switch operating systems. Moreover, in the past two days, there were huge demonstrations and conflict in the Kangaroo Plains because of the issue of the branch domain name resolution server. In the past two days, the officials of the Kangaroo Plains were struggling with the issues and they weren¡¯t able to take proactive actions. There were a lot of discussions on the internet regarding the change of the branch domain name resolution server operating system in the Kangaroo Plains. ¡°Sunset is going to be serious this time!¡± ¡°Northern Han, Kangaroo Plains¡­ The Sunset is taking back the position that the Divine Dragon had painstakingly conquered.¡± ¡°The Iceman Project is about to go bankrupt!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System is incompatible with the previous IP protocols. It only supports the Iceman Project! This time, I suffered a huge loss! If I were Li Chengqian, I would immediately update the system and make the Divine Dragon system compatible with the previous IP protocols. This way, even if the Iceman Project fails, at least we will still have the operating system.¡± ¡°@Li Chengqian, the Iceman Project will definitely fail. There¡¯s no need for us to fail with the Iceman Project.¡± Not only the normal netizens, but even many famous people in the industry were also suggesting that Li Chengqian be compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol. However, all the messages @Li Chengqian went unanswered. There was no response at all. In the studio, Li Chengqian was heartbroken when he saw the number of installations on the Kangaroo Plains decrease by two million. Two million units could bring in 200 million yuan annually to the Divine Dragon Software Company. But now, because of Sunset¡¯s strategy, the annual income of 200 million yuan was gone! ¡°I¡¯ll let you guys enjoy this first. Soon, you¡¯ll know how powerful I am.¡± Li Chengqian knew that if he wanted Sunset to fall into the trap he had set up, there was a price to pay. Just then, Li Chengqian¡¯s phone rang. Li Chengqian picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Academician Lin Qu. He muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s about time, the time is right! This call came at the right time!¡± Then, Li Chengqian picked up the phone. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, hello!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ve already communicated with the higher-ups.¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s voice was very low. He was a little depressed because of the conversation he had with the higher-ups. This was because the higher-ups have analyzed that Sunset was going to snatch the domain name service back at all costs. Sunset was very determined this time. The Divine Dragon¡­ was no match for Sunset this time. The probability of the Iceman Project failing was more than 90%! It was because of this result that Academician Lin Qu was unhappy. ¡°The higher-ups told me to tell you that they saw your support. The country thanks you!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a high chance that the Iceman Project will fail this time.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to hang in there together with us!¡± ¡°Modify the code immediately and update the system to make the Divine Dragon System compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol.¡± ¡°To minimize the losses of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°This time, even if we lose the position that the Iceman Project planned to occupy, as long as the operating system share obtained by the Divine Dragon Software Company is maintained, it will be a great victory for Divine Dragon.¡± Academician Lin Qu conveyed the message from the higher-ups. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, if I announce the compatibility IP agreement now, I¡¯ll be undermining you. No, I can¡¯t¡­¡± Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Academician Lin Qu interrupted him and said seriously, ¡°Li Chengqian, the higher-ups have long expected you to say this. They also asked me to tell you this.¡± ¡°They said¡ª¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, this is an order! You must maintain your share of the operating system. This is our national interest!¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s the highest order of the country, I¡¯ll carry it out immediately!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a smile. In fact, he had been waiting for this sentence. ¡°Alright, time is of the essence. I won¡¯t say much. Hurry up! We¡¯ll try our best to delay for you, but there¡¯s not much time left!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s tone was extremely serious. After he ended the call with Academician Lin Qu, Li Chengqian looked at the big screen. The map on the big screen disappeared and Bai Ze appeared on the big screen. ¡°Bai Ze, send the announcement to everyone through the information push system of the Divine Dragon System!¡± Li Chengqian instructed. When the branch domain name resolution server system switched in the Kangaroo Plains, Li Chengqian had already prepared an announcement. Now that the test of the Kangaroo Plains was over and the higher-ups have agreed. It was time for the announcement to be released. The announcement was very simple. It was to inform all users that the Divine Dragon Software Company was in the process of developing a system update to make the System compatible with the IP protocol of Sunset. Soon, the update would be pushed. After the update, even if the branch domain name resolution server is replaced with a Windows ROM system. The Divine Dragon System could still be used normally. This announcement would be seen by every user who had installed the Divine Dragon System through the internal message push of the Divine Dragon System. This news would also spread along with this announcement. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Due to time differences, it¡¯s estimated that it will take 24 hours to complete the push.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Let¡¯s post it on our official website first!¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Soon, the announcement appeared on the most eye-catching spot on the official website of Divine Dragon Software Company. News released by the Divine Dragon Software Company had always been followed by many people. When this announcement appeared on the website, it was immediately reposted by the internet media and it went viral. In just an hour, the announcement was trending. ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company has finally come to their senses!¡± ¡°As long as the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s network system is compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol, Windows won¡¯t be able to do anything!¡± ¡°Compared to the Divine Dragon System, Windows, Apple, and Linux are just a pile of shit.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Hurry up and develop it. Hurry up and update!¡± ¡°I want to ask, how should we update the branch domain name resolution server system?¡± ¡°Are you guys stupid? Let¡¯s update whatever we can update first.¡± ¡°Now, there are only two countries and regions that have changed their branch domain name resolution server. It won¡¯t affect much!¡± ¡°I think the situation is getting more and more serious. The Iceman Project might not be able to hold its ground! As long as the operating system is updated in time to be compatible with the IP protocol, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°Even if we can¡¯t obtain control of the domain name resolution service, we have to occupy the market share of the operating system and make Windows, Apple, Google, and other companies obsolete.¡± Chapter 266 - 266 Sunsets Plan 1 266 Sunset¡¯s Plan 1 On the fourth day, Rafe returned to the Sunset Empire from the Kangaroo Plains with an ashen face. Then, the first thing Rafe did was go to the Assistant¡¯s office. The Assistant sat in his chair and looked at Rafe¡¯s ashen face. He walked unsteadily, looking like he had exhausted all his energy. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes. He frowned and asked in a low voice, ¡°Rafe, why do you look so weak every time you come back from a trip? What exactly did you do there?¡± An awkward smile appeared on Rafe¡¯s face, and he was shocked by the Assistant¡¯s cold voice. Then he couldn¡¯t help but recall the wonderful experience in the Kangaroo Plains. It had cost him a lot, but he slept with Ruth. These past few days in the Kangaroo Plains, he had spent all his time with Ruth, and not a minute had been wasted. That was why he was so weak. However, Rafe did not dare to say it at all, nor did he dare to dwell on this topic. Mr. Assistant was a very serious person. If Mr. Assistant knew what he had done in the Kangaroo Plains, he would definitely scold Rafe. Therefore, Rafe immediately became serious and updated the Assistant on his trip to the Kangaroo Plains. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the Kangaroo Plains had implemented the change of the branch domain name resolution server system.¡± ¡°The results are completely normal, consistent with the results of Northern Han.¡± ¡°The branch domain name resolution server is operating normally.¡± ¡°The computers with the Windows ROM system can be connected to a normal network. It can access our country¡¯s website and also connect to the network of Northern Han.¡± At this point, Rafe¡¯s lips curled into a smug smile. Then, he reported the situation of the Divine Dragon System. ¡°Mr. Assistant, after replacing the branch domain name resolution server, the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t be used normally because it¡¯s incompatible with our IP protocol.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System and the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s Iceman Project are finished.¡± ¡°Currently, there are already many people in the Kangaroo Plains who have purchased and used our Windows ROM system after they found that they can¡¯t use the Divine Dragon System.¡± ¡°When I came back from the Kangaroo Plains, I had already sold 1.5 million ROM systems.¡± Rafe¡¯s eyes hid his smugness. For every ROM system sold, Windows would make a profit of 1,000 yuan. After selling these 1.5 million systems, he had already brought a profit of 1.5 billion yuan to Windows. He even felt that this Doomsday Extortion Virus was wonderful. Without the Doomsday Extortion Virus, Windows would have been pirated in large quantities. There would be almost no profit from personal computer systems. But now, the internet was filled with the Doomsday Extortion Virus. Currently, only two systems could be used. One was the Divine Dragon System, and the other was the Windows ROM System. After each country have changed their branch domain name resolution server system, only one system would be available, the Windows ROM system. In other words, as Sunset regains the domain name resolution service, Windows would also make a killing this time. There were 1.6 billion computers in the world. In addition to 200 million computers in the Divine Dragon, there were 1.4 billion computers. As the Sunset Empire¡¯s plan continued to unfold, based on 1.4 billion units, Windows could earn 14 trillion yuan! This was an astronomical amount. ¡°Mr. Assistant, we will quickly get the domain name server back, and Windows will once again become the world¡¯s number one operating system,¡± Rafe said confidently, as if the control of the internet and the market share of the operating system were within reach. The Assistant quietly listened to Rafe. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes and a cold smile on his lips. The way he looked at Rafe became colder. Rafe¡¯s report was very good! But he had missed something very important. On the Assistant¡¯s table, there was an urgent intelligence report presented to him by the intelligence department. The title of the report was [Divine Dragon Software Company has changed their strategy. They have already sent an announcement to all users. They are preparing to update the Divine Dragon System to be compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol.] The Assistant looked away from the report and looked up at Rafe, who was pale and had dark circles under his eyes. ¡°What on earth were you doing, Rafe? Didn¡¯t you notice that something very important happened yesterday?¡± Rafe thought and thought, but nothing came to mind. His eyes were helpless and frantic. ¡°Take a look at this.¡± The Assistant threw the report into Rafe¡¯s hands. In fact, he knew exactly what Rafe had done in Northern Han and what he had done in the Kangaroo Plains. Relevant personnel from both countries had reported Rafe¡¯s every move to him. He was very disappointed that Rafe didn¡¯t tell him the truth. Rafe picked up the report and saw the title. His pupils were constricted. Then, he quickly flipped through the report, and his expression became very solemn. Apart from the planned announcement in the intelligence report, there was also an analysis of the consequences of the announcement. According to the information shared by the intelligence personnel, if the Divine Dragon System was compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol, there would basically be no more Windows, Apple, Linux, and other systems in the future. In the future, the operating system of the entire world would belong to the Divine Dragon Software Company! ¡°F*ck, the shameless Divine Dragon Software Company actually sent an announcement at this time to update the system and support the IP protocol that is compatible with our country.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t they bound to the Iceman Project?¡± ¡°Why would Divine Dragon allow the Divine Dragon Software Company to do this? That¡¯s impossible!¡± After reading the report, cold sweat broke out on Rafe¡¯s forehead. Because the intelligence personnel¡¯s analysis was not wrong at all. After the Divine Dragon Software Company updated the system, Windows would be out of the picture. The Divine Dragon System was low priced. This was something that Windows could not compete with. The Divine Dragon System was twice as efficient as that of Windows. This was something that was publicly recognized throughout the world. In addition, the brainwave coding technology was unique to the Divine Dragon System. Superb software such as the Intelligent CAD series software, the intelligent architecture CAD, intelligent machinery CAD, and so on, only supported the Divine Dragon System. Windows couldn¡¯t compete with the Divine Dragon System at all. If Divine Dragon Software really updated the system to be compatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol, would anyone still buy the ROM Windows system that the company had invested so much in? Rafe became nervous. ¡°Wait a minute. The announcement was made yesterday by Divine Dragon Software.¡± ¡°Which means¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re still working on network compatibility. They haven¡¯t pushed the updates that would make them compatible with our IP protocol.¡± ¡°As long as we can immediately replace the branch domain name resolution server system of all countries.¡± ¡°We can prevent all of this from happening.¡± This was because the current Divine Dragon System was not compatible with the Sunset¡¯s IP protocol. As long as the branch domain name resolution server system was changed, all the computers installed with the Divine Dragon System could not go online. This way, even if the Divine Dragon Software Company wanted to update the system, they would not be able to push it to everyone¡¯s computers. It was the only solution Rafe could think of. Rafe¡¯s eyes lit up at the thought. ¡°Mr. Assistant, we still have a chance.¡± ¡°However, we can¡¯t wait any longer. We have to start moving immediately.¡± ¡°Before the Divine Dragon System updates the system, complete the system replacement of the branch domain name resolution server.¡± When Rafe finished, he looked at the Assistant with burning eyes. Chapter 267 - 267 Sunsets Plan 267 Sunset¡¯s Plan ¡°Mr. Assistant, welcome to the global root domain name service center. Please come in!¡± The person-in-charge of the center, Hales, stood at the door of the agency and welcomed Mr. Assistant warmly. ¡°As instructed by Mr. Assistant, we have already sent engineers to the countries that have joined the Sunset Internet Alliance.¡± ¡°As long as the Empire gives the order, our engineers can take action immediately. We can change the Alliance¡¯s branch domain name resolution server system to the Windows ROM system within 3 hours!¡± ¡°Very good!¡± After listening to Hales¡¯ report, the Assistant revealed a satisfied smile. Compared to Rafe¡¯s lack of discipline, he liked Hales¡¯ professionalism and self-discipline more. ¡°Mr. Assistant, this is the command center of the operation!¡± Under Hales¡¯s guidance, the few of them came to the center and sat down. Opposite the center was a large screen, and the screen was now showing the world map. On the map, the two regions, Northern Han and the Kangaroo Plains, were green, representing the territory currently occupied by Sunset on the internet. Other than the location of these two countries, the other areas were all dazzling red, representing the areas occupied by the Divine Dragon Country on the internet. Moreover, there were numbers marked on the two green areas. The Kangaroo Plains was 1.5 million, while Northern Han was 13 million! These numbers represented the number of devices connected to the Sunset root domain name resolution server. ¡°Rafe, has the Windows ROM system been transported to the 173 countries that have joined the Sunset Internet Alliance?¡± The Assistant¡¯s gaze became even colder when he saw the land on the big screen. Before the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, he had come to the global domain name management agency to take a look. The entire map was green. The entire internet belonged to Sunset! And now, the entire world belonged to the Divine Dragon! This made him extremely angry. Rafe had come with the Assistant. After hearing the Assistant¡¯s question, he immediately replied, ¡°Mr. Assistant, the ROM system has been transported to 173 countries that have joined the Alliance.¡± ¡°I have handed over the ROM system of the branch domain name resolution server to Mr. Hales half a month ago!¡± Hales continued, ¡°Mr. Assistant, the ROM system for domain name resolution has been brought to 173 countries by our engineers!¡± ¡°Once you give the order, these ROM systems will be installed in the branch domain name resolution server!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The Assistant nodded. ¡°Since the preparations have been completed!¡± ¡°Then let me begin!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use this operation to tell the world that Sunset is the owner of the internet and the world. Sunset¡¯s status is untouchable.¡± The Assistant¡¯s voice was extremely confident and domineering. ¡°Operation Internet Cutoff! Officially begins!¡± ¡°Hales, give the order for all the engineers to make a move!¡± ¡°Let the Sunset system take over the world!¡± ¡°Completely destroy the Divine Dragon¡¯s Iceman Project!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡± After the Assistant gave the order, Hales immediately took action. He sent out a pre-drafted message. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the information has been released. We will see the effect soon! Please look at the control screen!¡± Hales reported solemnly. ¡°Mr. Hales, this is the Tribe Empire. The branch domain name resolution server system has been replaced! Network connection is normal!¡± In just a minute, the voice of the engineers in front of him came from the big screen. As the voice came, the area representing the Tribe Empire on the big screen turned from red to green. ¡°Mr. Hales, this is the Snail Alliance. The branch domain name resolution server system has been replaced! Network connection is normal!¡± Right on the heels of that, the huge area of the Snail Alliance instantly turned green. ¡°¡­This is Nan¡¯an Country. The branch domain name resolution server system has been replaced! Network connection is normal!¡± As the area of Nan¡¯an Country turned green, many countries around Nan¡¯an Country also turned green. ¡°¡­This is the Style Divine Kingdom. The branch domain name resolution server system has been replaced! Network connection is normal!¡± In the command center, the reports of the engineers from all over the world came in continuously. Every time a report came in, a country¡¯s region would turn green and return to the fold of the Sunset domain name server system. Two hours later, the last country, Agandi, completed the system replacement of the branch domain name resolution server. On the world map on the big screen, only a few countries were still red. The rest had already turned green, a color that was soothing to Mr. Assistant. After the system for branch domain name resolution server was changed, the number of devices connected to the Sunset network increased rapidly on the big screen. These devices that were connected to the Sunset network actually represented the number of installations of the Windows ROM system. Before the operation commenced, there were only 14.5 million Windows ROM system installations worldwide. Two hours later, this number had already reached 30 million units! This meant that in two hours, there was another 14.5 billion yuan in profits. In the ROM system, there was already a total of 30 billion yuan of profits! Moreover, the installation of the Windows ROM system was still rising at an unbelievable speed. Rafe was so excited that his pale face turned red. ¡°It¡¯s great! It¡¯s great, that¡¯s the way!¡± ¡°Let the Divine Dragon Software Company die. Let the Iceman Project die. Let the Divine Dragon System die!¡± ¡°The world belongs to Sunset, and the operating system belongs to Sunset¡¯s Windows!¡± Rafe was extremely excited. ¡°Mr. Assistant, all the 173 countries that joined the Sunset Internet Alliance have changed their systems!¡± ¡°The engineers on the ground have done their checks, the internet in all the countries is operating normally. They can access websites related to Sunset or other countries.¡± ¡°After the switch to the Windows ROM system, it¡¯s operating normally. Access to the internet is normal!¡± ¡°All the devices installed with the Divine Dragon System can¡¯t connect to the network and can¡¯t work normally after the branch domain name resolution server system was changed!¡± ¡°Everything is progressing according to your wise plan! We have achieved great success! We have ruthlessly dealt a blow to the Divine Dragon and put them back in their place!¡± Hales tactfully licked Mr. Assistant¡¯s boots. The Assistant¡¯s expression did not change at all, but the smug expression in his eyes was undisguised. ¡°Please authorize us to turn off the branch domain name resolution server in Sunset! Let our institution¡¯s root domain name resolution server serve Sunset again,¡± Hales said with burning eyes. After experiments in the other 173 countries, it had been proven that it was safe to replace the branch domain name resolution server system. The last step of this operation was to switch back to Sunset¡¯s domain name resolution service after confirming that the server system was safe. Let the domain name server become the center of the world¡¯s internet again and get back control of the internet! ¡°Hales, I agree!¡± The Assistant was all smiles. He was very satisfied with the outcome of this operation. In just two hours, the Divine Dragon¡¯s scheme on the internet was completely shattered! This gave him a strong sense of accomplishment. ¡°Hales, turn off the damn branch domain name resolution server installed with the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s prepare for our next move! Teach the Divine Dragon a harsh lesson! A lesson they will never forget!¡± The Assistant¡¯s voice was extremely cold. ¡°Yes, Mr. Assistant!¡± After Hales finished speaking, he slammed a red button in front of him. The red button was a network switch. After pressing it, the branch domain name resolution server installed with the Divine Dragon System would immediately shut down. Then, the root domain name resolution server installed with the Windows ROM system would take over all the services in the Sunset Empire region. On the big screen, the area of the Sunset Empire turned green as Hales pressed the red button. Looking at the big screen, only a small portion of the area was still red. Ninety percent of the map was green. ¡°I hereby announce that the plan to recapture the internet has been carried out successfully!¡± Immediately, enthusiastic applause sounded in the command center. Everyone was very excited! They were all very happy! ¡°That damned Divine Dragon wants to take over our internet. They¡¯re simply daydreaming!¡± ¡°Hahaha, the 20-year Iceman Project that the Divine Dragon created was shattered by us in two hours! They¡¯re too weak! They¡¯re not worthy of being our opponents at all!¡± ¡°We, Sunset, are the true masters of this world!¡± Chapter 268 - 268 Counterattack 1 268 Counterattack 1 As soon as Sunset¡¯s operation began, the Iceman Project command center immediately detected the anomaly. Academician Lin Qu, Tian Zhi, and everyone related to the Iceman Project came to the Wisdom Hall as quickly as possible. On the big screen, many areas turned red, and the green areas quickly disappeared. The relevant personnel in charge of overseas liaison kept calling to ask about the situation. The connection to the Iceman Project was broken not because of a malfunction, but because¡­ the system was switched! It was switched from the Divine Dragon System to the Windows ROM system! ¡°Academician Lin Qu, the situation is very serious!¡± Tian Zhi said with an extremely serious expression, his eyes indignant. The Iceman Project had clearly taken over the world, but the moment Sunset took action, everything that the Project achieved collapsed like an avalanche. It was unbelievably fast. ¡°It¡¯s very serious, but¡­ is there anything we can do?¡± Academician Lin Qu was indignant too. ¡°Tian Zhi, this matter once again tells all of us that the Divine Dragon is not strong enough as a country!¡± ¡°If we¡¯re strong enough, even if we have taken over the internet, Sunset won¡¯t dare to say anything.¡± ¡°If we¡¯re strong enough, even if Sunset offers excellent terms, other countries won¡¯t dare to take the risk of offending us and join Sunset¡¯s root domain name server.¡± ¡°The most fundamental reason is that we¡¯re not strong enough!¡± Academician Lin Qu said solemnly. ¡°The failure of the Iceman Project this time is expected. Don¡¯t worry too much about it.¡± In fact, from the beginning, Academician Lin Qu had already expected the failure of the Project. It was just a matter of time. The internet was the core interest of Sunset. They would never let the Divine Dragon touch it. ¡°It¡¯s just that Li Chengqian¡¯s loss this time is too great!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s tone was regretful. In order to cooperate with the implementation of the Iceman Project, Li Chengqian changed the network module of the Divine Dragon System, making the Divine Dragon System incompatible with Sunset¡¯s IP protocol, and only compatible with the IP protocol of the Iceman Project. ¡°Our actions are still too slow. If only we had let Li Chengqian update the system¡¯s network compatibility earlier!¡± Academician Lin Qu said with some self-reproach. Because even now, there were no signs of the Divine Dragon System being updated, nor was there any news of Li Chengqian¡¯s network compatibility. This meant that the Divine Dragon System had not been updated to make it compatible with the Sunset IP Protocol. However, in just two hours, the branch domain name resolution server had been completely replaced in all regions of the world. The Divine Dragon Software Company no longer had the chance to update the system! ¡°That¡¯s right. The one who suffered the greatest loss in this matter is Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°According to the data of 1.5 billion computers in the world, and based on the 100 yuan per annum authorization fee for the Divine Dragon System, Li Chengqian will lose 150 billion yuan a year in the authorization of normal computers!¡± Tian Zhi nodded and agreed with Academician Lin Qu. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, I hope that you can step forward to coordinate and fight for some compensation for the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is indeed a patriotic vendor. We can¡¯t break the heart of a patriotic businessman.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll think of a way.¡± Academician Lin Qu nodded. Even if Tian Zhi didn¡¯t say it, he would still do it. Soon, on the big screen, there were only a few small areas on the world map that were green. The green area was much, much smaller than the red area. The green area was less than 10%! Looking at the stabilized green area, Academician Lin Qu and Tian Zhi felt very depressed. Although they knew that all of this would happen sooner or later, it was still difficult to accept when it really happened. ¡°I¡¯ll give Li Chengqian a call!¡± Although Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t say anything, his eyes were filled with disappointment. He couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists. ¡­ Meanwhile, after changing the domain name resolution server system of the first country, Li Chengqian¡¯s expression became serious. In his private studio, there was data on the big screen. 1,385,621,000! 1,385,621,000! This number was the number of equipment that had installed the Divine Dragon System. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze, this number began to decrease at a visible speed. Half an hour later, this number had fallen to 1.384 billion! He lost 1,620,000 yuan! In terms of authorization fees, this was a loss of 162 million yuan a year. ¡°I¡¯ll let you guys be happy for a while!¡± ¡°You will be as disappointed later as you are happy now.¡± Li Cheng calmly looked at the numbers on the big screen and the area where the branch domain name resolution server was changing. An hour later¡­ The number of installations of the Divine Dragon System decreased by five million! In other words, it was equivalent to losing 500 million yuan in annual income. Two hours later, all the computer equipment installed with the Divine Dragon System added up to 1.37 billion! In these two hours, Li Chengqian lost 15.62 million users. It was equivalent to losing 1.562 billion yuan in annual income. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at the big screen and carefully checked all the areas that had not turned red. ¡°Including Sunset, there are exactly 174 countries and territories that have changed their branch domain name resolution servers!¡± ¡°It¡¯s about time!¡± Li Chengqian calculated in his heart and found that the remaining countries that had not turned red were all countries that were friendly with Divine Dragon. There were also two countries that had strategic partnerships with Divine Dragon and countries that were enemies with Sunset. These remaining countries were no longer likely to join Sunset! ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. He entered a special line of code on the computer in front of him. Then, he pressed the ¡®enter¡¯ button hard. MAC traversal technology, activate! ¡°This is the era of MAC traversal technology. This is also the era of the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°A ROM system for the branch domain name resolution server costs at least 100,000 yuan! 174 countries need at least 30,000 ROM server systems, which is the cost of three billion yuan!¡± ¡°Since they want to change the branch domain name resolution server system, they must have prepared a large amount of ROM system equipment. The cost of such equipment is not low. And there is also the cost of manufacturing, transportation, and so on.¡± ¡°The cost is at least 900 yuan!¡± ¡°With 1.6 billion computers in the world, after eliminating the 200 million Divine Dragon computers, there are still 1.4 billion!¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s calculated based on one-tenth of the number, it¡¯s still 140 million ROM systems!¡± ¡°After conversion, it¡¯s still 116 billion!¡± When Li Chengqian calculated to this point, the corners of his mouth involuntarily revealed a smile. ¡°After my purge and the Doomsday Extortion Virus¡­ This ROM system is already their last resort. If they don¡¯t succeed, they¡¯ll die!¡± ¡°Then go to hell!¡± As Li Chengqian pressed the ¡®enter¡¯ button, the color on the world map began to change rapidly on the big screen. Rays of light shot out from Divine Dragon and instantly connected to all the red areas in the world. It occupied 90% of the map¡¯s red color. After the rays connected, the red color immediately faded! Bai Ze¡¯s voice sounded at the same time as the color on the screen changed. Chapter 269 - 269 Counterattack 2 269 Counterattack 2 Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice came from the big screen. ¡°MAC traversal technology successfully activated!¡± ¡°Automatic regional network formation in Sunset. Network formation successful!¡± ¡°The MAC network in the Sunset region has successfully connected to the Iceman Project MAC resolution service.¡± ¡°The MAC network in the Sunset region is clear. Network connection is normal!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System equipment in Sunset has returned to normal!¡± Immediately, on the world map on the big screen, the area that belonged to Sunset changed from red to green. ¡°Automatic regional network formation in the Sunset Empire. Network formation successful!¡± ¡°Automatic regional network formation in the Kangaroo Plains¡­ Network formation successful!¡± ¡­ ¡°The 174 countries and regions that have activated the MAC automatic network formation this time have all successfully formed the network!¡± ¡°After the network was successfully set up, the computers and servers of the Divine Dragon System were installed. It has returned to normal! It can be used normally!¡± ¡°This operation is complete!¡± This time, the activation of the MAC network technology took less than three minutes from the time Li Chengqian hit the ¡®enter¡¯ button to the time when all 174 regions were successfully connected! Through this operation, Sunset¡¯s expensive plan to cut off the internet instantly fell through! This was because after activating the MAC automatic networking technology, the branch domain name resolution server was useless! There are two purposes for Sunset to replace the branch domain name resolution server system. The first goal was to regain control of the internet. After obtaining control of the internet, Sunset would naturally obtain control of the domain name, IP control, and a series of other rights. With these basic rights, no country can compete with Sunset on the internet. The second goal was to kill the Divine Dragon Software Company so that the Divine Dragon System could not be used normally and could only fade away from the scene! Now, after Li Chengqian activated the MAC network technology built into the Divine Dragon System, the control of the domain name resolution was connected to Divine Dragon Iceman¡¯s Project through the MAC traversal technology. The control of the internet was still with the Iceman Project. The first goal of the Sunset had failed. After the automatic networking technology was activated, the Divine Dragon System returned to normal and could be used online. It could be said that after Li Chengqian typed in the code to activate the MAC network technology, Sunset¡¯s carefully prepared plan to target Divine Dragon had completely failed. ¡°What a pity. If I could see the expressions of the people related to the Sunset, that would be wonderful!¡± Li Chengqian sat down regretfully. He stared at the big screen for a full five minutes! After activating the MAC network technology, the number of installations of the Divine Dragon System that had been decreasing suddenly stabilized! It even began to rise slowly. ¡­ In the Iceman Project command center, Academician Lin Qu had just walked out. The command center, which had been silent, suddenly erupted in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Academician Lin Qu stopped in his tracks. He turned around curiously, wanting to know what was going on. When he turned around, he saw the big screen in the command center. On the big screen in the command center. Lines of conspicuous text flashed past. ¡°MAC traversal technology successfully activated¡­¡± ¡°MAC address resolution service activated¡­ Service activated successfully.¡± ¡°MAC address allocation IP, binding domain name¡­ Allocation successful!¡± ¡°MAC resolution service, operation successful!¡± ¡°Begin accessing the regional MAC network¡­¡± ¡°Successfully connected to the MAC network in Sunset. Beginning to provide MAC address resolution service¡­¡± ¡°The MAC network in the Tribe region has been successfully connected. Beginning to provide MAC address resolution service¡­¡± On the big screen, notifications of success kept flashing. After every successful connection, the relevant area on the big screen would change from red to green. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Tian Zhi looked at the changes on the big screen in disbelief. His eyes widened and almost fell out. Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. He looked at the big screen in surprise and did not even blink. Looking at the screen that kept changing from red to green, Academician Lin Qu was overjoyed. His voice trembled as he said, ¡°Good! Very good, very good!¡± ¡°I finally understand! Previously, I was still puzzled. With Li Chengqian¡¯s programming ability and the programming speed of the brainwave receiver, he actually didn¡¯t manage to create a function compatible with the Sunset¡¯s internet IP protocol after three days.¡± ¡°I see!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian doesn¡¯t want the internet protocol to be compatible with Sunset at all!¡± ¡°He only made the announcement to create an illusion and to pressure Sunset!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s true ace in the hole, his trump card, has actually been embedded in all the Divine Dragon System long ago!¡± ¡°The most critical thing was the MAC network technology that was updated a few days ago!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes did not leave the big screen. He thought of the ¡°small¡± update of the domain name resolution software a few days ago. On the update instructions written by Li Chengqian, super data compression technology occupied a huge space! As for MAC network technology, there was indeed a portion of it in the update instructions. However, under the brilliance of the super data compression technology, no one paid special attention to this MAC network technology. ¡°Wait, I called Li Chengqian back then, but he said he didn¡¯t know! This kid is really tight-lipped. He clearly has an ace in the hole, a trump card, but he kept it from me and didn¡¯t tell me the truth.¡± Academician Lin Qu shook his head. Academician Lin Qu stared at the big screen excitedly. In three minutes, the entire big screen turned green. All the red spots had disappeared! It was as if it had never appeared. The red color just now was like an illusion. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Iceman Project has once again gained control of the internet!¡± ¡°Because the other countries have changed the branch domain name resolution server, the domain name and IP have all been returned to the domain name server.¡± Sunset¡¯s plan this time gave Divine Dragon a tighter control of the internet. In the past, considering the impact, he still had to allocate a portion of IP and domain name resources to other countries! Now, other countries have voluntarily given up. All the resources returned to the Iceman Project. ¡°Currently, 1.38 billion devices are connected to the Iceman Project!¡± ¡°Although with the help of the super data compression technology of the Divine Dragon Software Company, our root domain name server can function normally! However, there are not many resources left on the server! The consumption of system resources has been maintained at about 60% for a long time. Please resolve it immediately!¡± Academician Lin Qu said without thinking, ¡°Incorporate 10% of the computing power of the Software Research Institute¡¯s supercomputer directly into the Iceman Project and form a virtual computer with more computing power with the Iceman Project server!¡± The operating system provided by the Divine Dragon Software Company was very advanced and powerful. It could connect the computing resources of many computers and virtualize them into a computer. ¡°Roger, processing!¡­ Successfully connected to the supercomputer! The load on the domain name server has decreased to 30%!¡± Shu, who was in charge of the system¡¯s fault management, was very active. His voice was filled with joy. He originally thought that the Iceman Project would go bankrupt! Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the Iceman Project came back from the dead and directly skipped Sunset¡¯s internet system to form a brand new MAC network that was not controlled by Sunset! This was too surprising! ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Director Tian, the internet is ours now! Sunset doesn¡¯t have the ability to take it away from us!¡± ¡°The branch domain name resolution server of Sunset has no effect on the MAC network!¡± ¡°This technology surpasses the original internet!¡± ¡°This is more advanced technology!¡± ¡°This is a technique that belongs to the Divine Dragon!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, excited voices erupted in the command center. Everyone was filled with joy. They roared out the excitement in their hearts. ¡°Long live the Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°Long live the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°Long live the Iceman Project!¡± While there was excitement and buzz at the Iceman Project command center, the originally joyous atmosphere in the global domain name management organization was suddenly gone! Although there were many people present, the atmosphere was down. It was even deadly silent! Chapter 270 - 270 Counterattack 2 270 Counterattack 2 Mr. Assistant had a habit. When something was done, he liked to celebrate on the spot by popping a bottle of champagne. In the command center of the global root domain name administration, Rafe, who knew Mr. Assistant¡¯s habit, had already prepared the champagne. At this moment, a row of champagne bottles had already been opened in front of Mr. Assistant. Champagne had already been poured into a series of tall glasses. In the light, the champagne was brilliant and mesmerizing. However, no one¡¯s gaze fell on the champagne on the table. Everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on the big screen. On the big screen, It was still the same world map. The color of the world map was still green! However, a huge yellow exclamation mark appeared on the top of the map. Below the exclamation marks, there were lines of square text. ¡°Congratulations on the success of your plan!¡± ¡°It must have cost a lot to replace the branch domain name resolution server system, right?¡± ¡°It must have cost a fortune to produce the ROM system, right?¡± ¡°Do you think that as long as you deploy the system of the branch domain name resolution server, you can kill the Divine Dragon System, sell the ROM system, and regain control of the internet?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to be disappointed!¡± Below each line of text was an English translation so that everyone present could understand it. ¡°Rafe, didn¡¯t you say that the ROM system is absolutely safe? What¡¯s going on now?¡± The Assistant¡¯s voice was filled with anger. If it was absolutely safe, why would it be invaded again? ¡°Mr. Assistant, the ROM system is absolutely safe. He can¡¯t change the data in the system! This time, the hacker hacked the memory. As long as we turn off the computer, we can drive the hacker out.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the hacking incident also proves the Divine Dragon¡¯s fear of us!¡± ¡°Other than displaying some text on the big screen, there is nothing much the hackers can do. They can¡¯t affect our system,¡± Rafe said, sweating. ¡°Yes, but it will cause the internet to be temporarily inaccessible.¡± Hales nodded. Under his instruction, the engineers in charge of the technology began to restart the server. The engineers in charge of network security began to pay attention to every piece of data that flowed into the server, preparing to counterattack the hackers. Mr. Assistant kept quiet. Rafe stood behind Mr. Assistant, sweat breaking out on his forehead, and his clothes were drenched in sweat. Rafe had been wanting to open his mouth and explain to the Assistant, but his face was grim and the atmosphere was very heavy. The air was so heavy it was almost suffocating. In particular, the assistant¡¯s gaze was as cold as a blade. He kept staring at the big screen and didn¡¯t even look at Rafe. When Rafe met the Assistant¡¯s gaze, his entire body turned cold and fear rose in his heart. Hales was nervously mobilizing his forces to check the network security while paying attention to the activation of the system. ¡°The ROM system¡¯s activation speed is simply a pile of sh*t!¡± Hales looked at his watch again and cursed in his heart. Previously, when he used the Divine Dragon System¡¯s branch domain name resolution server, the system only took 30 seconds to activate! After the system was activated, the resolution service automatically started running! The activation speed was countless times faster than the Windows ROM system! Ten minutes later, under everyone¡¯s extremely anxious gazes, the domain name server system was successfully activated. The world map appeared on the big screen again! Seeing that 90% of the world map was green, the Assistant¡¯s expression softened a little. ¡°Mr. Assistant, we¡¯ve already specially processed the internet. Only IPs in Sunset can access this server!¡± ¡°Moreover, there are three layers of physical firewalls outside the server. It can defend against almost all attacks!¡± Hales quickly explained. Seeing that Mr. Assistant¡¯s expression had improved a little, Hales heaved a sigh of relief. If Mr. Assistant got angry, Rafe would definitely be in trouble! But he wouldn¡¯t have an easy time either. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the Sunset¡¯s internet is mainstream again! The Iceman Project is falling apart under your attack. At the moment, it¡¯s just hanging on by a thread. It will soon disappear from the internet.¡± Hales flattered him. The Assistant looked at Hales even more gently. When Hales saw Mr. Assistant¡¯s expression, he was delighted and continued to report, ¡°Mr. Assistant! We¡¯ve already completed our counterattack on the internet!¡± ¡°Next, let¡¯s drink to this and celebrate a little¡­¡± Hales raised his goblet and suggested to the Assistant. The Assistant also raised his glass of champagne. When Rafe saw this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief! The fear in his eyes subsided a little. The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and happy. On the big screen, in this relaxed and happy atmosphere, the numbers decreased bit by bit. This data is the network device data, It represented the number of devices that were connected to Sunset¡¯s internet. When Operation Blackout was just completed, the access data displayed on the big screen was 30 million. Just now, because of the hacker, the server system was restarted. In ten minutes, the data of the access device displayed on the big screen decreased by one million units to 29 million units. At first, Hulk, the employee of the command center, felt that something was amiss, but he didn¡¯t think too much about it. He felt that it might be because the domain name server had restarted, causing some computers that couldn¡¯t connect to the internet to be turned off. Many people would choose to turn off their computers and restart when their computers suddenly malfunctioned and there was no internet. It was very useful! So Hulk didn¡¯t notice. However, in the two minutes that Hales was sucking up to Mr. Assistant, the data decreased again to 27 million! Hulk knew that something was wrong! Something was wrong! Hulk shouted in horror, ¡°Mr. Hales, you¡¯d better look at the data on the big screen first!¡± ¡°The device connected to Sunset¡¯s internet is not rising as expected. Instead, it¡¯s decreasing rapidly!¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, the data passed through the domain name resolution server did not increase as expected. It¡¯s also decreasing!¡± ¡°Gentlemen, according to the data displayed so far!¡± ¡°There might be a problem with our strategy. It is not working!¡± ¡°We¡­ are failing!¡± After hearing Hulk¡¯s voice, the Assistant¡¯s smile froze. Hales, who was holding a glass, also froze. The smile on his face disappeared at the same time. He quickly turned his huge body around and looked at the big screen. His gaze landed on the data on the device. 28.6 million! Hales¡¯ face was filled with shock. He looked at the data on the big screen in disbelief, and his forehead was instantly covered in sweat. There was only one possibility for the decrease in the number of Internet devices connected to Sunset! The devices were connected to the Iceman Project server. No matter what device it was, it needed to be connected to a server that could provide resolution. It was either the root domain name resolution server connected to the Sunset or the Iceman Project¡¯s resolution server! ¡°Impossible, how is this possible!¡± ¡°The Iceman Project is completely useless! How can this be¡­¡± Hales¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted when he thought of a possibility. ¡°Hales, what¡¯s going on?¡± The Assistant asked with a dark expression. At this moment, Hulk suddenly saw a computer installed with the Divine Dragon System for tests. Previously, there was a notification window on this computer. Notification: Due to network problems, the system can¡¯t be used normally. And now, the notification window that occupied the entire desktop was gone! The system entered the computer desktop normally without any abnormality. ¡°Mr. Assistant, look at this? The Divine Dragon System, it actually¡­¡± Hulk pointed at the computer and shouted in panic. ¡­ Chapter 271 - 271 Unwilling to Accept Defeat 271 Unwilling to Accept Defeat Under Hulk¡¯s guidance, Mr. Assistant, Hales, and Rafe came to the computer with long faces. At this moment, there was an open notification on the computer desktop. ¡°Hello, esteemed user. In order to allow the Divine Dragon System to be used normally, we have made some improvements to the System.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System¡¯s network module has been updated¡­ the MAC traversal network technology has been updated.¡± ¡°Successfully acquired MAC address resolution server¡­¡± ¡°Connecting to the Iceman Project domain name server¡­¡± ¡°Internet connection successful!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon System is back to normal!¡± ¡°App store is back to normal.¡± ¡°Website access is back to normal.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to be at your service again!¡± When the Assistant saw this, his face was as cold as ice, and his eyes were extremely cold. ¡°We¡¯ve been tricked by the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± ¡°How is this possible? Divine Dragon actually has more advanced MAC network and resolution technology,¡± Hales said dejectedly. He seemed to have aged ten years overnight. ¡°Why is this happening? This isn¡¯t going according to plan at all.¡± Rafe¡¯s vision darkened, and there was desperation in his voice. Windows had already bet everything they had on this operation to cut off the internet. He expected that after the branch domain name resolution server system was replaced with ROM Windows system, Divine Dragon System would not connect to the internet because the network protocols were incompatible. Then, all users would need to buy the Windows ROM system. Windows would take this opportunity to re-occupy the market and make trillions of profit. Windows had also analyzed the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario was that the Divine Dragon System was compatible with Sunset¡¯s protocol. Users would stick with the Divine Dragon System and not change the system. At that time, He only needed to get the global root domain name management agency to seal the IP address and the domain name of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Users won¡¯t be able to connect to the Divine Dragon Software Company. This way, the Divine Dragon System could not work normally. In the end, users would have no choice but to buy the Windows ROM system. However, there was a prerequisite for these hypotheses, and that was that the Divine Dragon System could not connect to the internet! Sunset had been doing this for this purpose. ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense! This doesn¡¯t make sense, Mr. Hales. What exactly is this MAC traversal network? Our domain name and IP resolution server clearly don¡¯t support this technology. Our server clearly doesn¡¯t support the MAC network.¡± ¡°How is it that this computer can connect to the internet! This doesn¡¯t make any fucking sense!¡± Rafe was going berserk. ¡°Mr. Rafe, it¡¯s complicated to explain¡­ Let me give you a simple example.¡± ¡°The internet setup by Sunset in the past requires every device to request an IP address from the server to use!¡± ¡°The IP address is the address of the device on the internet. The internet depends on this address.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s surfing the internet, chatting, or anything else, an IP address is needed!¡± ¡°In the past, we had to search for this IP address level by level.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like you trying to find a person, you have to first find the country where this person is from, then find the province where this person is from. Then, you have to find the city, county, town, street, community, road, building, unit, floor, and room number!¡± ¡°Our branch domain name resolution server is the country!¡± ¡°When you use the IP address, you have to find the country first. If the country forbids you from entering, you¡¯ll never be able to enter.¡± ¡°And MAC¡¯s address network resolution removed all the intermediaries!¡± ¡°The MAC address is the address of the device on the internet!¡± ¡°The MAC technology network, to put it simply, uses the computer to register the MAC address directly to the domain name server and to obtain the internet connection directly.¡± ¡°The technology involved is very complicated, but that¡¯s generally how it works.¡± ¡°It skipped the level of the branch domain name resolution server¡­ Therefore, it¡¯s useless for us to change the domain name resolution server in the 173 countries, it has no impact on the MAC technology!¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless! Even if we want to artificially cut off the MAC link, we don¡¯t have the ability.¡± Hales¡¯ voice was filled with bitterness, displeasure, and despair. After hearing this, Rafe was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t understand the other technical aspects, but he understood the most important point. The plan to shutdown the internet had failed! The network of the Divine Dragon System was normal, and the system was functioning normally! Even though Sunset wanted to cut off the Divine Dragon System¡¯s network, it didn¡¯t have the technology to do so! ¡°It¡¯s over! Windows is over!¡± This was the only thought in Rafe¡¯s mind. The reason why Windows ROM system was able to achieve a complete victory was based on the fact that the Divine Dragon system couldn¡¯t be used. The Divine Dragon System was functioning perfectly well currently. Other than a very small number of people, no one would spend 2,000 yuan to buy a Windows system that was slow to start, had poor security and poor performance. After the internet shutdown plan began, the 300 million ROM devices that had been produced overtime during this period were destined to rot in the hands of Windows. The cost of these ROM storage devices was a total of 300 billion! When Rafe thought of this, he was angry and anxious. Coupled with the fact that he had strained himself after his trip to Northern Han and the Kangaroo Plains, he was physically too weak to withstand this blow. His vision darkened and he fainted. When Rafe¡¯s heavy frame collapsed, he knocked over the champagne and beautiful wine glasses on the table. Everything shattered to the ground. The beautiful wine bottle and glasses made crisp crashing sounds as they came shattering down on the ground. Golden champagne spilled everywhere, soaking the expensive carpet and dyeing it a myriad colors. As for Rafe, he fell onto the glass shards. He was cut by the glass shards, and blood flowed out. However, no one at the scene cared about Rafe¡¯s life. The Assistant and Hales didn¡¯t even look at Rafe, who had fainted. ¡°Mr. Hales, I need a solution to the problem! I don¡¯t need your sigh of despair and helplessness.¡± The Assistant¡¯s expression was extremely grim. He was the one who proposed the plan to counterattack the Divine Dragon¡¯s internet. Sunset had also invested a lot of effort in promoting the plan. It had also cost Sunset a lot to get 173 countries to agree to change the branch domain name resolution server system. If the plan failed and there were no results, he had to bear the consequences. He could forget about being an Assistant. He would never have the chance to enter the upper echelons of Sunset again. Therefore, this matter was extremely important to the Assistant! ¡°Mr. Assistant, based on the current situation, it¡¯s technically impossible to regain control of the internet. If we want to regain control of the operating system, we can only think of another way. I suggest¡­¡± Hales said solemnly and paused hesitantly. The MAC network technology was too advanced. Sunset had no solution at all. Technically, there was no way to compete with Divine Dragon. If they couldn¡¯t play with technology, they could only solve the problem through other methods. ¡°Mr. Hales, what do you propose!¡± The Assistant¡¯s eyes lit up as he hurriedly urged. Chapter 272 - 272 Incompetent Fury 272 Incompetent Fury Hales finally made up his mind. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Without any hesitation, he told them the solution he had thought of. ¡°Mr. Assistant, the only way now is¡­ Physical disconnection!¡± The Assistant¡¯s expression was extremely solemn! ¡°Technically, we can no longer compete with the Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°MAC address network technology has completely skipped our internet setup!¡± ¡°All our efforts were all in vain! It won¡¯t be of any use,¡± Hales said in a low voice. ¡°The only way now is to cut off the fibre optic cable connecting the Divine Dragon to other countries!¡± ¡°Physically, the Divine Dragon will be cut off from the internet!¡± ¡°At that time, the computers installed with the Divine Dragon System will not be able to connect to the Iceman Project server through MAC network technology. The network will malfunction and it will not be able to connect to the network!¡± ¡°Then, the Divine Dragon System will be disabled.¡± ¡°The Iceman Project resolution server will be unavailable.¡± ¡°All IP and domain name resolution must rely on Sunset¡¯s root domain name resolution server.¡± ¡°Only then can we regain control of the internet!¡± ¡°Only then can we regain control of the operating system,¡± Hales said with extreme determination. Then, he looked at the Assistant, his eyes filled with anticipation. Cutting off the international fibre optic cable was a major matter. Such a major matter had to be decided by the higher-ups of Sunset. After the Assistant heard what Hales said, he frowned and asked indignantly. ¡°Hales, you mean that we need to cut off all the fibre optic cable connecting the Divine Dragon to all the countries, right?¡± Hales shook his head and explained to Mr. Assistant, ¡°Yes, Mr. Assistant! As you know, the internet is like a huge spider web.¡± ¡°If we just cut the fibre optic cable between us and the Divine Dragon, the Divine Dragon¡¯s data can be connected through a third country that is directly or indirectly connected to us.¡± ¡°At that time, the Iceman Project¡¯s MAC resolution will still be able to serve equipment worldwide.¡± After the Assistant heard Hales¡¯ extremely certain description, his heart sank. ¡°Hales, is there no other way other than the method you just mentioned?¡± There was no problem cutting off the fibre optic cable that directly connected Sunset and Divine Dragon. As long as the senior leaders agreed, it could be done. ¡®But!¡¯ However, it was useless to cut off the fibre optic cable connecting Sunset and Divine Dragon! He had to cut off all the fibre optic cables that were connected to Divine Dragon.. Sunset couldn¡¯t do it. If Sunset really did this, it would definitely cause¡­ a world war! Development and peace were the main tenets of the world! No one liked war. Especially a world war that would destroy the world. This was a situation that all humankind could not allow to happen. The only one who had the ability to do so was Divine Dragon itself, but would Divine Dragon cut off the fibre optic cable connection with other countries? The Divine Dragon wasn¡¯t a lunatic, so it naturally would not do that. Therefore, this method wouldn¡¯t work! ¡°Mr. Assistant, this is the most feasible method at the moment! Other than this method, of course, there are some other methods.¡± Hales saw the assistant¡¯s expression and felt hopeless instantly. He was extremely disappointed. ¡°Hurry up and say it. Is there any other way?¡± The Assistant urged again. ¡°The first way is to let the Divine Dragon shut down the Iceman Project server itself!¡± The Assistant looked at Hales in shock because this was simply a joke. It was even more ridiculous than cutting off the fibre optic cable. ¡°The second method is to stop the Divine Dragon Software Company from using the MAC network technology!¡± When the Assistant heard this, he shook his head. He was visibly upset. This was impossible. ¡°These are the only two methods I can think of. Other than that, there¡¯s no other way.¡± Disappointment was written all over Hales¡¯ face. In the past, as the person in charge of the global root domain name management agency, Hales could receive the highest level of reception no matter where he went or which country he went. He didn¡¯t even care about the leaders of some small countries. Moreover, since he was in charge of the global root domain name management agency, he has made a huge fortune in this role. Based on the current situation, the Divine Dragon had completely taken control of the internet. The global root domain name administration will permanently and completely lose control and management of the internet. This made Hales extremely sad and disappointed! He was upset and indignant about it! There was nothing he could do! What could he do if his skills were inferior? After Hales finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Assistant, who was becoming more and more upset. As if his soul had been sucked out of him, he walked out with lifeless eyes. The Assistant pulled a long face. Looking at Rafe, who had fainted on the ground, he was furious. The Assistant couldn¡¯t control his emotions anymore. He rushed over and kicked Rafe angrily. ¡°F*ck, you damned thing! I told you to go to Northern Han and the Kangaroo Plains to run the tests, but you were womanizing every day! You didn¡¯t detect anything abnormal, you damned thing.¡± ¡°Damn the Divine Dragon Kingdom! Damn the Iceman Project, why don¡¯t you go to hell!¡± ¡°Damn the Divine Dragon System! Damn the Divine Dragon Software Company! And damn Li Chengqian, I must kill you!¡± ¡°F*ck, all of you deserve to die! I¡¯ll send all of you to hell.¡± The command center was silent. No one even dared to breathe loudly, afraid that the Assistant would vent his anger on them. After venting for a full five minutes, the Assistant finally cooled down. The Assistant¡¯s expression was extremely ugly and cold. His eyes were filled with coldness, vigilance, and panic, like a dog that had been beaten up. ¡°Go back to your seats and get back to work!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t control the entire world. We can¡¯t control the Divine Dragon Country!¡± ¡°But Sunset is our country!¡± ¡°We can completely control Sunset!¡± ¡°We definitely won¡¯t allow the Divine Dragon System to run on Sunset¡¯s land!¡± The Assistant gritted his teeth and said. Then, he picked up the only bottle of champagne on the table that hadn¡¯t been knocked over and smashed it to the ground angrily. ¡°Inform Hales to come back and get down to work!¡± After the Assistant finished speaking, he walked out of the command center with an extremely gloomy expression. Along the way, he kicked everything to the ground. He appeared mighty and domineering, but it was actually all incompetent fury. He was just a sore loser who was unwilling to accept defeat. Chapter 273 - 273 Regret 273 Regret ¡°Damn it, damn Sunset! Damn Rafe, and damn the Assistant!¡± ¡°They¡¯ve screwed our country badly this time!¡± Northern Han¡¯s Minister for Information Technology, Li Dapu, was extremely upset. His heart was filled with regret, and his eyes were filled with anger. He smashed his teacup to the ground. Smash! The teacup shattered. ¡°The plan to cut off the internet has failed! Sunset, these sons of b*tches!¡± Li Dapu cursed. The first stop of the plan was in Northern Han. Because this was the first test site, the prevalence of the Windows ROM system in Northern Han was extremely high. The Northern Han government pushed this very hard. Currently, in Northern Han, more than half of the users, more than half of the enterprises, and almost all the administrative units were using the Windows ROM system. When they were experimenting in Northern Han, whether it was Rafe or the Assistant, they assured Li Dapu that this plan would definitely succeed. When the plan succeeds, Northern Han would have a first mover advantage and become the winner of this operation to cut off the internet. The IP addresses and domain name resources previously allocated to the Divine Dragon would be allocated to Northern Han. ¡®But¡­¡¯ Unexpectedly¡­ The plan had failed! Sunset was the initiator and executor of the plan. Before Sunset could promote the ROM system, Divine Dragon had torn the plan apart. Although he had lost face worldwide, the losses were not huge. This was because in Sunset, the replacement of the system had yet to begin. ¡°Damn it, I¡¯m really unlucky!¡± Li Dapu pulled a long face. What made him even more upset was that he had to immediately deal with the relevant matters to prevent Northern Han¡¯s losses from further growing. ¡°Stop the promotion of the Windows ROM system immediately!¡± ¡°Restore the Divine Dragon System in the branch domain name resolution server!¡± ¡°As for me, I have to take the responsibility and resign! I have to make a public apology and give Sunset, the leader and the people of Northern Han an explanation.¡± When Li Dapu thought of this, he became even more upset. He couldn¡¯t help but curse at Sunset again. ¡°I¡¯ll suggest to the leaders that the Divine Dragon is getting stronger and stronger. In the future, we have to carefully consider our dealings with the Divine Dragon and Sunset!¡± ¡°If we¡¯re not careful, Northern Han will fall into a bottomless abyss.¡± After knowing that the plan to cut off the internet that Sunset had painstakingly set up had failed, all the countries that participated in the plan started cursing. Other than a few countries that really wanted to cut off the internet, the other countries were forced by Sunset to join in the plan. They had no intention of carrying out the plan at all. For most countries, It didn¡¯t matter whether they used Sunset¡¯s IP protocol or the Divine Dragon¡¯s Iceman Project. It was all the same. In any case, either could be used. Another advantage of using the Iceman Project was domain names were much cheaper than Sunset. Moreover, the Iceman Project¡¯s resolution speed was much faster than Sunset¡¯s. In addition, because of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, basically everyone had installed the Divine Dragon System in their computers. Everyone had gotten used to the security and performance of the Divine Dragon System. In particular, they still had to pay for the ROM system after they had already changed the branch domain name resolution server system. If not for the fact that Sunset forced them, most countries would not have participated. Even if they participated, it was just for show. First, switch the branch domain name resolution server to the Windows ROM system. If the money promised by Sunset was in place, they would status quo. If Sunset didn¡¯t fulfill its promise, they would immediately switch back to the system. After many countries heard that the operation had failed, they immediately restarted the server and replaced the branch domain name resolution server with the previous system. Then, everyone realized that after switching the server system back to the Divine Dragon System, a few functions were gone! The domain name management and IP management functions in the region were gone! ¡°Is this the Divine Dragon Iceman Project command center? We¡¯re the Kangaroo Plains. At the moment, we¡¯ve discovered a malfunction in the branch domain name resolution server. Please resolve it immediately.¡± The Kangaroo Plains was the first to discover the problem and called the Iceman Project command center to make enquiries. ¡°Please tell me the malfunction you encountered!¡± The customer service¡¯s voice was neutral, it was nothing like the usual enthusiasm. ¡°Our branch domain name resolution server originally had domain name management, IP management functions, and could provide domain name registration, fixed IP, and other related free services. But now, these functions are all gone.¡± The people from the Kangaroo Plains sounded a little anxious. Several functions in the domain name server were all revenue generating functions. Based on previous experience, it could bring billions of yuan in revenue to the Kangaroo Plains every year. ¡°Hello!¡± ¡°Firstly, because of technological innovation and software upgrade, IP has become history! There¡¯s no need to manage it, so we¡¯ve canceled the IP-related module in the software. Please understand that.¡± ¡°Secondly, it has been detected that the branch domain name resolution server of the Kangaroo Plains has changed its system. The Iceman Project server has automatically taken back the management rights of your branch domain name resolution server,¡± the customer service said with a smug smile, feeling vindicated. ¡°F*ck, you can¡¯t do this!¡± ¡°The previous domain name belonged to the Kangaroo Plains a long time ago. You have no right to take our domain name back.¡± The man on the line shouted in disbelief and shock. ¡°This is banditry!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t be so unreasonable!¡± The man from the Kangaroo Plains sounded as if he had been bullied. His voice was filled with grievance. ¡°Hehe¡­ Beep, beep, beep!¡± After the customer service officer chuckled, he didn¡¯t answer any questions from the man in the Kangaroo Plains. He simply ended the call. ¡°Director, do you think it¡¯s okay for me to answer like this?¡± After the customer service officer hung up the phone, he looked at Tian Zhi, who was standing at the side with a vindictive smile. Tian Zhi shook his head, dissatisfied. Then he clapped his hands abruptly, drawing everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Everyone, stop what you¡¯re doing and listen to me!¡± ¡°Everyone, you must change your mindsets!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony with the people from these 174 countries! Give it back to them. Put them back in their places. Taunt them, ask them to feel free to go ahead switch the branch domain name resolution server to ROM,¡± Tian Zhi said with a cold smile. Just then, Sunset also called. When Tian Zhi saw this, he said, ¡°It¡¯s Sunset calling now. I¡¯ll demonstrate to everyone by taking this call.¡± ¡°F*ck, why is the domain name management module gone in the branch domain name resolution server?¡± On the end of the line, an extremely domineering voice sounded with a questioning tone. Tian Zhi frowned immediately. He covered the microphone and said with a cold smile, ¡°It seems like Sunset still doesn¡¯t understand his situation! His tone is still very aggressive!¡± ¡°Director, how do we retort? Sunset is very powerful. We don¡¯t dare to offend them! We¡¯re afraid of causing conflict between the two countries,¡± a young customer service officer asked carefully. The others also looked at Tian Zhi. Sunset had always been so bossy! In the past, the higher-ups had also instructed them to try not to offend them if they could help it. ¡°Watch and learn. In the future, our attitude¡­ will be even more domineering than theirs!¡± Tian Zhi sneered. He let go of the microphone and said in an extremely nasty tone, ¡°Idiot! If you want to use it, don¡¯t use it! F*ck you, don¡¯t call me again, idiot.¡± Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the usually gentle and refined Tian Zhi. Everyone only realized what happened after Tian Zhi ended the call. Then, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with smiles of relief and excitement. ¡°Awesome!¡± ¡°Director Tian, well said! We feel so vindicated!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve long wanted to scold those idiots in the opposite camp!¡± ¡°Damn it, they united 174 countries this time to kill our Iceman Project. Now that their plan has failed, they want us to provide them with the same thing as before. Are they still dreaming?¡± ¡°In the future, the domain names of these 174 countries will all be controlled by our Iceman Project. They can forget about taking them back. Even if their country wants to use our domain names, they can pay us for the Iceman Project. We¡¯ll register one for them.¡± Tian Zhi was also extremely excited. After ending the call, he said with a smile, ¡°Brothers and sisters, now is the time for them to beg us!¡± ¡°If you meet someone with a bad attitude, don¡¯t stand on ceremony! Scold him, ask him to get lost.¡± Chapter 274 - 274 Something Important 274 Something Important At the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian and Academician Lin Qu were sitting in the studio. The coverage of the Iceman Project was displayed on the big screen. The entire world was green, and it was pleasing to the eye. Li Chengqian and Academician Lin Qu were sitting on the sofa and chatting. Academician Lin Qu had a happy smile on his face. His eyes were filled with gratitude for Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, it¡¯s all thanks to you this time!¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t been prepared, the Iceman Project would definitely have failed this time.¡± ¡°Our country¡¯s decades of hard work on the internet will also disappear with it!¡± ¡°We thought we were going to fail, and were ready to accept failure.¡± ¡°However, you gave us a huge surprise. You directly bypassed Sunset¡¯s internet IP system and established the MAC group network technology¡­¡± ¡°Sunset can¡¯t fight such advanced technology at all. It instantly failed!¡± ¡°All of this is thanks to you!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement and gratitude. Early this morning, ever since Academician Lin Qu arrived at the Divine Dragon Software Company, he had been praising Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed by his praise. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, let¡¯s get down to business. The internet issue has already become a foregone conclusion. Sunset has no power to fight back this time. As long as nothing goes wrong on Divine Dragon¡¯s end, the MAC network and resolution technology will be at least 20 years ahead of Sunset.¡± ¡°In 20 years, Sunset will never be able to compete with us on the internet.¡± ¡°Unless Sunset¡­ dares to cut off all the fibre optic cables connected to the Divine Dragon, but that¡¯s impossible.¡± Li Chengqian explained patiently.He was full of confidence. ¡°Although Sunset is powerful, the Divine Dragon is not weak either. Sunset does not have the ability to cut off all of Divine Dragon¡¯s fibre optic cables. Don¡¯t worry about that,¡± Academician Lin Qu said with a smile. Cut off all the fibre optic cables that were connected to the Divine Dragon? Did they really think that the Divine Dragon¡¯ army was just for show?! ¡°In that case, there¡¯s no need to worry about the internet.¡± Li Chengqian nodded, then asked curiously, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, why have you come this time?¡± ¡°The first thing is to thank you on behalf of the Iceman Project! You are the benefactor of the Iceman Project!¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s expression turned serious as he stood up and was about to solemnly bow to Li Chengqian to thank him. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, please take a seat. If you go on like this, I¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± Li Chengqian supported Academician Lin Qu and said with a very stern expression. ¡°Secondly, I heard that you filled in the application form for Tianyi Normal University? This won¡¯t do! Tianyi Normal University¡¯s teaching staff and research facilities are not up to mark. It¡¯s simply a waste of time for you to go there. You¡¯d better follow me to the Academy of Sciences!¡± Academician Lin Qu had a pained expression. When he heard about it, his first reaction was that he must stop Li Chengqian. ¡°Academician Lin Qu¡­ This really won¡¯t do. I have my own considerations.¡± Li Chengqian explained helplessly. He chose Tianyi Normal University because the school was nearby. Moreover, his goal for enrolling in university was only to take on the University Student profession. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t need to consider any other external factors. Seeing that Academician Lin Qu was still trying to persuade him, Li Chengqian felt a headache coming on. He made a prompt decision and asked, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, did you come to Tianyi City just to tell me about this? Didn¡¯t you say that you had something very important to tell me?¡± He knew that Li Chengqian was determined not to go to the Academy of Sciences, and had deliberately changed the topic. Academician Lin Qu sighed in his heart and ended the topic. However, he still didn¡¯t give up. He was prepared to talk to Li Chengqian again when the time was right. ¡°Yes, there is indeed something very important!¡± Academician Lin Qu nodded. ¡°The last time I came over with the people from the National Chip Company, I saw a modern farm opposite your factory from afar. It was green and full of life.¡± ¡°I heard from Zhao Na, who was walking with us, that it was a barren desert a month and a half ago.¡± ¡°I asked Zhao Na to tell us about the desert farm while we were on the road.¡± ¡°At that time, because the issue of the lithography machine matter was too pressing, I didn¡¯t stay for a visit and inspection.¡± ¡°Then, because of the Iceman Project, I didn¡¯t come to you immediately.¡± ¡°This time, I just wanted to come over and take a good look at this farm. How did you do it? Is the cost high?¡± ¡°Can this be introduced nationwide?!¡± Academician Lin Qu spoke very seriously. ¡°Is this the very important question you¡¯re talking about?¡± Li Chengqian was a little surprised. ¡°Food is the foundation of a country¡¯s stability. If there¡¯s not enough food and everyone goes hungry, the country will definitely be in chaos! Therefore, the food problem is a huge problem. Without the internet, everyone can survive. Without phones, everyone can survive.¡± ¡°However, when there¡¯s not enough food, no one can survive. People will resort to anything to survive.¡± ¡°In history, dynasties changed whenever there was a famine.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate the importance of food,¡± Academician Lin Qu said solemnly. Li Chengqian was stunned. He had never thought of this question before. This was because he had basically never experienced hunger. Following Academician Lin Qu¡¯s guidance, Li Chengqian read a large number of historical books, one after another. It was indeed as Academician Lin Qu had said. All dynasties in history had changed during the era of famine! Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to have understood, Academician Lin Qu nodded and continued. ¡°Over the years, the desertification of the land has become more and more serious! A large amount of cultivated land has turned into sand.¡± ¡°Also, a lot of arable land has been occupied by buildings.¡± ¡°The production of food can only stabilize at the current level, but our country¡¯s population is increasing.¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t think of a way to deal with it, there won¡¯t be enough food in ten years or a few years!¡± ¡°In case we can¡¯t buy enough food internationally.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to tell you what might happen,¡± Academician Lin Qu said seriously. Li Chengqian nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Bring me to see how your desert farm works. Is the construction cost high?¡± Academician Lin Qu smiled. His desire for Li Chengqian to study at the Academy of Sciences became even stronger. This was the benefit of having a smart student. He only had to say it once and Li Chengqian could understand. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, this way!¡± Li Chengqian frowned slightly. As he led the way for Academician Lin Qu, he was thinking about how to explain it to him. The reason why this desert farm could become lush in an extremely short period of time was because of the skills of the Master of All Professions game! Skill: Automated Farm [Automated Farm: With AI, you can use AI to control the agricultural machinery. After deducting your Stamina Points, you can automatically apply the Farmer profession skills and automatically start planting one type of crop. You can also use the conventional model to plant a farm. The size is limited to 100 acres.] The automatic irrigation system was just a cover-up, it could only play a supportive role for the entire desert farm. ¡°I can¡¯t let Academician Lin Qu discover any abnormalities!¡± ¡°Although I thought that my Stamina Points had already reached 30,000! Ordinary knives and spears can¡¯t hurt me¡­ but I definitely can¡¯t withstand nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and so on.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s mind was spinning rapidly. ¡°I have to think of a reasonable explanation.¡± Chapter 275 - 275 The Great Buckthorn Fruit 275 The Great Buckthorn Fruit Under Li Chengqian¡¯s lead, Academician Lin Qu crossed the bridge and entered the automated farm area. At a glance, green shrubs were planted neatly in rows on this land. On the shrubs, yellow crystal-clear fruits the size of a plum gave off a ripe and sweet aroma. When Academician Lin Qu smelled it, he couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. Then, he carefully observed these bushes. The more he looked, the more confused he became. Because he found that he didn¡¯t know what the plant that Li Chengqian planted was. It looked like a Buckthorn, and the fruit was very similar to a Buckthorn. However, the fruit of the Buckthorn was only the size of a pea. On the bushes here, the fruits were the size of a plum. ¡°Li Chengqian, what kind of crop is this? It looks like Buckthorn. Is it a Buckthorn fruit?¡± Academician Lin Qu asked. In fact, the crop currently planted in the farm was Buckthorn! However, this Buckthorn was not an ordinary Buckthorn. It was an enhanced version of the Buckthorn that Li Chengqian had nurtured using his Skill. It grew at an expedited rate. It could grow into a small bush that was half a meter tall in a month! The fruit had higher sugar content. Buckthorn fruit was very sour. It was also called Vinegar Willow and Sour. Most people couldn¡¯t stand this taste at all. After being nurtured by the targeted skill, the sugar content of the Buckthorn Fruit increased from 3% to 26%, and the acidity decreased from 30% to 5%. The texture of the Buckthorn fruit had changed too, making it sweet and fragrant. Moreover, it had a unique hot and spicy taste of the desert. It tasted very special and refreshing. In addition, these Buckthorn Fruits that had been cultivated by Li Chengqian had become even bigger. The original Buckthorn fruit was the size of a pea. After being nurtured by Li Chengqian many times, the Buckthorn fruits in this desert were the size of a plum. Each of them was bright yellow and their surfaces were crystal clear. One could see the translucent flesh and juice in the fruits. A sweet fragrance wafted out of the fruits, making people salivate. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, in fact, I don¡¯t know what kind of plant this is. I named it Buckthorn because it looks like Buckthorn.¡± Li Chengqian could only feign ignorance. ¡°What? This is a Buckthorn?¡± Academician Lin Qu had an incredulous look. Although he wasn¡¯t specialized in biology, he could recognize common plants. What Li Chengqian planted was not a Buckthorn at all! Although it looked similar to a Buckthorn, when he looked carefully, he found that the leaves, fruit, and tree were very different from a Buckthorn. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, I don¡¯t really understand!¡± Li Chengqian continued calmly. ¡°I found this plant by accident in this desert. Later on, I planted it and realized that it grew especially fast. With a little water, it can grow to half a meter tall in a month! The fruits are big and sweet. They¡¯re especially delicious!¡± Li Chengqian plucked two fruits and handed one to Academician Lin Qu. He wiped one casually and took a bite. Instantly, an amazingly sweet taste mixed with a hot and spicy sensation exploded in his mouth. Li Chengqian had a blissful look on his face. As for Academician Lin Qu, when he saw Li Chengqian eat the fruit, he was stunned! This was a brand new plant, and Li Chengqian actually dared to eat it! He was simply a daredevil! ¡°Li Chengqian, how can you just eat it? Spit it out. Don¡¯t eat it. This is a brand new plant. What if it¡¯s poisonous?¡± Academician Lin Qu was anxious. He wanted Li Chengqian to spit out the Buckthorn he had just eaten. Li Chengqian said nonchalantly, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, after I discovered this Buckthorn, I tested it on animals. It¡¯s not poisonous and tastes very good. Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°Try it if you don¡¯t believe me. This type of big Buckthorn fruit not only tastes very good, but after eating it, it gives your tummy a warm, fuzzy feeling. It feels very good.¡± Ever since the appearance of the big Buckthorn fruit, Li Chengqian had eaten some almost every day. If it was poisonous, he would have been poisoned to death long ago. This was a crop produced by the system. It was not poisonous at all. In Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes, there was a semi-transparent introduction above the Great Buckthorn fruit. [Great Buckthorn fruit: Can slowly restore stamina. Recovers 1 stamina point per hour. Duration: 3 hours!] Although the restoration effect was not as strong as medicinal wolfberries, for ordinary people, the Great Buckthorn Fruit was also a rare tonic. The stamina of ordinary people was generally 10 points, while the stamina of an elderly would mostly decrease to about 6 points. After these 3 points of stamina restoration, an elderly man¡¯s stamina could be restored to 9 points. Nine points of stamina was the stamina of a man in his prime. In other words, after eating this Great Buckthorn fruit, Academician Lin Qu could experience the feeling of being in his prime. Seeing that Li Chengqian was fine and that there was a special fragrance spreading, Academician Lin Qu hesitated for a moment before carefully putting the Great Buckthorn fruit in his mouth and taking a bite. The sweet and spicy taste immediately lit up Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes. With a gentle suck, the translucent jelly-like pulp went into Academician Lin Qu¡¯s mouth. Originally, Academician Lin Qu wasn¡¯t going to eat the skin, but after eating the flesh, he couldn¡¯t help but chew and swallow the skin. ¡°It¡¯s really delicious!¡± Academician Lin Qu said, relishing the taste. At this moment, a warm and comfortable feeling began to spread in his stomach. Because Academician Lin Qu had been in a sedentary job for years, he had issues with his cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae. His back often felt tight and painful. With this warm feeling, the pain that even the top medical experts couldn¡¯t do anything about was quickly relieved. Then, he felt the change in his body. His eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°This Buckthorn fruit can actually reduce the pain in my body. It¡¯s amazing.¡± ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± Academician Lin Qu moved his neck and back to the left and right. When he realized that there was no more soreness, his eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°Li Chengqian, what¡¯s going on? This Buckthorn fruit is really amazing!¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at Li Chengqian with a burning gaze. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, you¡¯ve also noticed it, right? This Buckthorn fruit is very magical. After eating it, it can relieve the illness and pain in the body. It can also replenish one¡¯s stamina!¡± ¡°After discovering this characteristic, I planted the Great Buckthorn fruit tree here on a large scale.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also sent the Great Buckthorn fruit for testing. It¡¯s not poisonous, nor does it contain any other prohibited ingredients.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a natural and harmless tonic!¡± ¡°Next, our company will study the main ingredients of the Great Buckthorn fruit, determine the active ingredients in it, and carry out drug development.¡± ¡°No wonder you keep saying that you want to study biology! No wonder you don¡¯t want to study elsewhere. It¡¯s because of this!¡± Academician Lin Qu finally understood. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t want to study anywhere else because of the Great Buckthorn fruit. Because this was too important! What was the most expensive commodity in the world? It was life and health. For the sake of life and health, most people were willing to spend their life savings. Academician Lin Qu saw life and health in the Great Buckthorn fruit. Chapter 276 - 276 Hope for Health and Longevity 276 Hope for Health and Longevity After Academician Lin Qu felt the state of his body, he was completely mesmerized by this state of strength. This was a temptation that no one could resist. Looking at the Great Buckthorn fruits hanging on the branches, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes were filled with desire. ¡°Li Chengqian, can I eat this Great Buckthorn fruit?¡± ¡°This feeling of regaining my youth is too wonderful!¡± ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a serious expression, ¡°Academician Lin Qu, no!¡± ¡°The effect of the Great Buckthorn fruit is very obvious, but you can¡¯t eat too much. If you eat too much, instead of feeling nourished, you will have health issues.¡± ¡°Given your state of health, you cannot take the Great Buckthorn fruit more than once a day.¡± ¡°Moreover, the Great Buckthorn fruit can only temporarily restore your body¡¯s energy. It doesn¡¯t actually make your body younger.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to eat too much!¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. Academician Lin Qu was already 73 years old. At this age, he had unrealistic hope for longevity and health like everyone else, he was no exception. If there was a chance, he wanted it too. ¡°Wait, the natural Great Buckthorn fruit has such a magical effect.¡± ¡°If I extract the specific ingredients of the Great Buckthorn fruit¡­ the effect will definitely be better than eating it directly.¡± ¡°At that time, we might be able to develop a longevity potion that can extend one¡¯s lifespan and maintain one¡¯s body forever.¡± When Academician Lin Qu thought of this, his eyes were filled with excitement. ¡°By the way, Li Chengqian, have you done those tests on the Great Buckthorn fruit? Have you analyzed the active ingredients in it?¡­¡± Academician Lin Qu¡¯s attention was immediately attracted by the Great Buckthorn fruit. Seeing Academician Lin Qu¡¯s excited face, Li Chengqian laughed in his heart. He pretended not to know the situation and didn¡¯t answer his question. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, let¡¯s get down to business.¡± ¡°This is the¡­¡± ¡°You said that you came here this time to inspect this automated farm.¡± Li Chengqian finished his sentence. Academician Lin Qu opened his mouth, but he could only suppress the topic of the Great Buckthorn fruit. He was really here to inspect the operation of the automated farm. Especially when Li Chengqian¡¯s automated farm was operating in the desert. If he could replicate the experience of Li Chengqian¡¯s automated farm and promote it in the other desert areas of the Divine Dragon Country, it would be a way to increase the strength of the Country. The Divine Dragon Country¡¯s desert area occupied 20% of all the land area. Even if only half of it could be farmed, it was a huge matter for the Divine Dragon Country. This was because Divine Dragon¡¯s current cultivation area was only 12.5% of its land area. Moreover, about 5% was in hilly and mountainous areas, making it difficult to mechanize cultivation. Only 7.6% of the land was on the plains, which could be mechanized and cultivated on a large scale. As for the desert area, the terrain was very flat with the wind and sand all year round. As long as they could resume their cultivation, they could carry out large-scale mechanized cultivation. If half of it could replicate Li Chengqian¡¯s experience, it could directly double the Divine Dragon¡¯s grain production! If all of them could be used in farming, it could directly increase the production of the Divine Dragon¡¯s food by more than three times! With so much food, the population of the Divine Dragon would double again, and there would not be a situation of food shortage. ¡°This land is completely desertified! Even if we dig five meters underground, it¡¯s all sand.¡± Li Chengqian first explained the situation of the desert. ¡°Ordinary plants have no way of surviving in such an environment because it¡¯s too dry.¡± ¡°In order to conserve water, we adopted a new irrigation model, the root tank model! With the huge amount of water we have conserved, we provide plants with the requisite water from its roots.¡± ¡°This special type of Buckthorn tree is also very awesome. After obtaining a certain amount of water, the speed of growth is a little exaggerated¡­¡± ¡°The effect is very good!¡± Li Chengqian pointed at the large number of Buckthorn trees in the farm. ¡°The construction cost isn¡¯t very high either. The investment for an acre of land is about 60,000 yuan.¡± ¡°After the construction is completed, it can be used for more than ten years.¡± ¡°And ten years later, the soil of the desert has changed. By then, we won¡¯t need these pipes to supply water.¡± ¡°However, if we want to move this model to other areas with deserts, I think there are a few problems that need to be resolved!¡± ¡°First, the issue of water! Although the root tank mode is more water-saving than the drip irrigation mode, water is always needed. The amount used is not small. We have to solve the water issue first.¡± ¡°Secondly, this is a small desert. The sandstorm doesn¡¯t move much, as there¡¯s basically no wind here. Therefore, it¡¯s very simple to deal with it here. However, it¡¯s different in a bigger desert. The wind in the desert is very terrifying. If there¡¯s no relevant measures, the tube you buried today will be gone tomorrow.¡± It wasn¡¯t that Li Chengqian was exaggerating, but in reality, this was indeed the case in the desert. And the main reason why Li Chengqian could achieve such good results in this small desert was not because of how brilliant his method was or how advanced his tubes were. The most important factor was actually the skill he had obtained from the Master of All Professions game. Reclamation skill. It could instantly transform any land into fertile black soil. Planting skill. It could accelerate the growth of plants, allowing them to grow a hundred times faster. These two Skills were the key factors why Li Chengqian could make this small desert lush. However, Skills were Li Chengqian¡¯s greatest secret. He would definitely not reveal this to anyone. Therefore, he could only tell Academician Lin Qu what he could. If the effect of the experiment was not good, Li Chengqian could avoid it. ¡°These Great Buckthorn fruit trees are very resistant to drought. I think this plant is the most suitable plant for the desert. Do you want to sell the saplings?¡± Academician Lin Qu looked straight at Li Chengqian. ¡°Uh¡­ I can¡¯t sell it for the time being!¡± Li Chengqian was a little speechless. Obviously, Academician Lin Qu wanted to use this opportunity to get the Buckthorn Tree saplings. Academician Lin Qu looked disappointedly at Li Chengqian. Then, he asked again unwillingly, ¡°Are you selling these fruits? How much are you going to sell them for?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t thought of selling it yet!¡± ¡°If you need it, I¡¯ll pick a few for you to eat when you leave,¡± Li Chengqian said helplessly. These Buckthorn fruits would not spoil if they were hung on the tree. As time passed, the effects of the Buckthorn fruits would become stronger. The probability of rare treasures appearing in these Buckthorn fruits would also increase. Li Chengqian was reluctant to pluck them. ¡­ The reason was one that everyone knew, it was a little late already, and he wasn¡¯t in a good mood¡­ Chapter 277 - 277 Meteorite 277 Meteorite Academician Lin Qu walked out of the automated farm with Li Chengqian. He had a disappointed look on his face. The automatic doors of the automated farm closed. Behind the automatics door were modified models of the first generation robots roaming around, as if they were patrolling. The terrifying looking electronic eyes kept scanning the surroundings vigilantly. The farm machines that had been silent and motionless in the automated farm began to move after Academician Lin Qu left. The two harvesting machines worked on the Great Buckthorn fruit tree, one after another. The succulent Great Buckthorn fruits disappeared from the fruit tree and fell into the harvesting machines. The automated farm once again operated according to the original design. ¡°Li Chengqian, does your company still need people? Does the automated farm still need people?¡± The two of them walked into the factory and sat opposite each other. Academician Lin Qu said jokingly. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, let¡¯s get down to business!¡± Li Chengqian was feeling a little helpless. After eating a Great Buckthorn fruit, Academician Lin Qu seemed to have been possessed. He was obsessed with the Great Buckthorn fruit. ¡°Hey, the Great Buckthorn fruit is the most important thing! Everything else is on track,¡± Academician Lin Qu said with a serious expression. Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s helpless expression, Academician Lin Qu smiled and said, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I was just joking with you.¡± ¡°However, although I say it in jest, it is not entirely untrue.¡± ¡°In terms of operating systems, not only has the Divine Dragon System completed its domestic replacement, but it has also gone beyond the Divine Dragon Country and taken over the entire world! In terms of operating systems, we are already invincible!¡± ¡°Relying on the rapid input ability of the brainwave coding technology, our software industry is developing rapidly and has reached the world-class level in all fields. As long as you continue to control the spread of the brainwave coding technology and prevent people from other countries from using it, we will be able to dominate the software industry in a year.¡± ¡°In the field of hardware, our chip design ability has always been good¡­ There are now two world-class chip design companies.¡± ¡°Our shortcoming has always been the lithography machine!¡± ¡°Now, you¡¯ve solved the problem of the lithography machine!¡± ¡°The days of us importing chips are over. Soon, it will be time for us to dump our chips. Our chips can bring in an endless stream of income from all over the world.¡± ¡°As long as everything stays on track, we just have to develop the software and hardware normally. We don¡¯t have to think too much about anything.¡± ¡°So¡­ for me, the Great Buckthorn fruit is the most important thing!¡± Academician Lin Qu spoke for a long time, but he finally came back to the topic of the Great Buckthorn fruit again. ¡­ At this moment, in Sunset. Mr. Assistant walked out of the leader¡¯s office with a gloomy expression. He had just reported to his leader and the advisors on the implementation of the internet shutdown operation. Then, he reported the plan to cut off the fibre optic cable connection between the Divine Dragon and the other countries. Then, everyone thought he had gone mad and criticized him. ¡°Mr. Liwen, anger has consumed your rationality. You¡¯re no longer suitable for your current position. I¡¯ll get someone else to replace you as Assistant. Go home and take a break,¡± said the Boss. And just like that, Liwen was stripped of all his power. ¡°F*ck, you short-sighted bastards. Sunset will definitely decline in your hands.¡± Liwen walked on the road dejectedly. At this moment, on the pitch-black sky, meteors streaked across the sky. Then, these dazzling meteorites exploded in the air like fireworks. The dark night sky was illuminated at this moment, as if it was daytime. Coincidentally, a meteorite fragment fell from the sky, emitting a bright light and carrying the smell of burning air. With a terrifying sound, it landed in front of the depressed Liwen. Liwen was shocked. Looking at the concrete road that had been shattered by the meteorite that landed in front of him, his voice trembled as he said with fear, ¡°Oh, my god, I was almost killed by the meteorite.¡± Then, he quickly became excited and carefully stepped forward to look at the crater. ¡°I¡¯m lucky. Not only did I not die, but I also obtained a meteorite.¡± Every meteorite was a priceless treasure. Its price was unimaginable. A meteorite the size of a fist was easily worth tens of millions. Soon, he saw the meteorite embedded in the ground. The surface of the meteorite was smooth and had a silver-white luster. There were also some strange-looking patterns on it. Liwen took a step forward and reached out to feel the temperature of the meteorite. He realized that this silver-white egg-like meteorite was not hot at all. ¡°I¡¯m so lucky. It¡¯s mine now.¡± When he heard approaching footsteps, Liwen reached out and grabbed the silver meteorite in his hand. Then, he quickly walked towards an empty alley. At this moment, the silver meteorite cracked like an egg. A large amount of dust spilled out. ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± There was an extremely choking smell in the dust, making Liwen cough loudly uncontrollably. The people who came after the meteorite saw the empty crater. After hearing the loud cough, they immediately ran into the alley where Liwen was. ¡°F*ck, our meteorite was stolen by a thief. He¡¯s in this alley.¡± Liwen was still coughing violently when this group of people rushed into the alley. While coughing, Ju Wen was also panting crazily. His face had already turned purple, and he was coughing out lung tissues from his mouth. His face was contorted with pain, as if he was being tortured extremely cruelly. He looked very terrifying. The group of aggressive people who rushed in with baseball bats and iron rods immediately stopped in their tracks. Someone gulped. ¡°Oh, f*ck, what¡¯s wrong with him?¡± ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± At this moment, the man who had just spoken felt his throat itch and couldn¡¯t help but cough. The others around him began to cough almost at the same time. Once they started coughing, they could no longer hold it in. The sound of continuous coughing echoed in the alley. While the others were coughing, Liwen stopped coughing. His eyes were blood-shot. His pupil can¡¯t be seen anymore. Then, as if he hadn¡¯t noticed the others coughing crazily, he staggered toward the main street. A large amount of inconspicuous dust seeped out of his body and floated towards the surrounding area. Behind him, the people who were coughing crazily quickly quietened down. Then, they walked in all directions, just like Liwen did. On the main street, because of the meteorite, many people walked out of their houses with arms, wanting to try their luck. Chapter 278 - 278 Highest Alert 278 Highest Alert ¡°Look, there¡¯s a silver meteorite in this blondie¡¯s hand.¡± In the crowd on the main road, a fat black man had sharp eyes. He saw the silver meteorite in Liwen¡¯s hands at a glance. He shouted loudly and quickly rushed towards Liwen. ¡°F*ck, such a huge meteorite is worth at least tens of millions. As long as I obtain this meteorite, I won¡¯t have to worry about money anymore.¡± Black Fatty was extremely excited, his eyes glued to the silver meteorite in Liwen¡¯s hands. He didn¡¯t notice that Liwen was abnormal. ¡°Give it to me, you white pig!¡± After approaching Liwen, Black Fatty didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with him. He stretched his arms and snatched the meteorite from Liwen. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Black Fatty was going to laugh wildly when he laid hands on the meteorite, but just as he opened his mouth, he couldn¡¯t help but cough loudly. Black Fatty coughed as he turned around, expecting to see the despair on Liwen¡¯s face after the meteorite was snatched away. At this moment, he discovered that Liwen was abnormal. There was no color on his face at all. He was like a zombie. His eyes were opened, but they were bloodshot. What was even more terrifying was that the skin and muscles on Liwen¡¯s chest had already disappeared. Only the bones could be seen. Through the missing skin and muscles, Liwen¡¯s bare chest could be seen. There was an empty space where his lungs used to be. Where the heart should have been was a ball of gray matter. However, Liwen walked into the crowd like a normal person. When black Fatty saw this scene, he was so terrified that he peed his pants. ¡°Oh, f*ck, is this Resident Evil? Cough cough!¡± Black Fatty felt as if he had coughed out something slippery. He thought it was phlegm, so he spat it on the ground. Then he realized that it was a piece of dark red lung tissue. Black Fatty was extremely frightened. He wanted to scream and flee. He wanted to run to the hospital for treatment, but he couldn¡¯t do anything except cough. As he coughed, the feeling of suffocation was torturous. ¡°Oh my god, you guys, he¡¯s not normal!¡± Seeing Black Fatty fall to the ground, someone finally shifted his gaze from the silver meteorite to Liwen. When he saw Liwen¡¯s appearance, a chill ran down his spine. ¡°Shoot! He¡¯s not a human! Kill it!¡± Someone shouted in fear. BANG! There was a gunshot. A bullet hit Liwen. Liwen was shot. He fell to the ground. ¡°Great, the monster is dead!¡± The crowd immediately cheered. The middle-aged man who had fired the gun had a smug smile on his face. The people around him also coughed. Everyone recalled Black Fatty¡¯s experience just now. Everyone¡¯s faces instantly became extremely terrified. All of this was captured by the camera installed on the telephone pole. ¡­ Meanwhile, Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian were still chatting. The topic had already shifted to the military field. ¡°Li Chengqian, in terms of military, our radar, engines, fighter jets, missiles, interceptor missiles, and so on¡­ Actually, there¡¯s still a gap from the Sunset.¡± ¡°If we can make a breakthrough in military technology, they definitely won¡¯t dare to push us around¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re also afraid that once they attack, they won¡¯t be able to leave!¡± Just as Academician Lin Qu was sighing, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the factory. Li Chengqian, who had a calm expression and a smile on his face and was considering the next step of developing technology, suddenly became anxious. He ignored Academician Lin Qu¡¯s presence and stood up. The ear-piercing alarm that suddenly sounded just now was the highest-level alarm set by Li Chengqian. When this alarm sounded, it meant that a scenario that Li Chengqian had been most worried about had happened in somewhere in the world. And there was only one thing that Li Chengqian was worried about, besides changing the fate of the university entrance examination. The scenario in the game in his previous life had become reality. Aliens had invaded Earth! A terrifying virus had begun to spread throughout the world. ¡°Li Chengqian, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Academician Lin Qu was puzzled. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, please come with me.¡± After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian felt that he had to share this news with him. Academician Lin Qu would report it to the country and have the country prepare itself. On the big screen of the factory, everything that had just happened in Sunset was clearly seen by the surveillance cameras installed on the telephone poles. ¡°Is this a Resident Evil movie? Is it a new movie?¡± Academician Lin Qu looked at the big screen and asked with a smile. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, it¡¯s not a movie!¡± Li Chengqian carefully looked at the scene on the screen, and his expression became extremely serious. In the Master of All Professions game, the aliens first released the suffocation virus on Earth in the later stages. After the simple suffocation virus was released, a terrifying thing happened. In half a year, the suffocation virus caused 60% of the world¡¯s population to die painful deaths. ¡°This is a virus, an extremely terrifying virus!¡± ¡°It can kill a person within a few minutes.¡± Li Chengqian pointed at Black Fatty on the big screen with an extremely serious expression. ¡°The virus uses everyone¡¯s body as a hotbed. After a person is killed by the virus, it controls the person¡¯s body and moves around to achieve the goal of spreading the virus.¡± Li Chengqian pointed at the example of someone being shot to the ground and quickly getting up. He continued to walk towards the crowd. ¡°Academician Lin, the scene on the big screen is the video just sent from the Holy Shield State in Sunset ¡± ¡°All of this is really happening.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was incomparably grim. ¡°What? Are you serious?¡± Academician Lin Qu looked shocked. He looked at the image on the big screen in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear. ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± ¡°Academician Lin, look at this¡­¡± Li Chengqian took out a video clip that was shot with a higher resolution camera. This camera could cover more than half the street. Because it was nighttime, he couldn¡¯t see very clearly, but he could still see where the light shone. Academician Lin Qu realized that he had been to this area before! In front of a shop was a huge statue of a woman, the kind that was naked. Therefore, Academician Lin Qu had a deep impression of it. In addition to the scene that left a deep impression on Academician Lin Qu, On the screen, the slow and stiff ¡°people¡± were like water flowing in all directions. Moreover, there were more ¡°people¡± joining this group of ¡°people¡± and walking around unsteadily. ¡°What is this¡­¡± Academician Lin Qu took a deep breath and broke out in cold sweat. His eyes were filled with shock. At this moment, there was only one word in his mind: terrifying! Chapter 279 - 279 Response Plan 279 Response Plan Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian stared at the surveillance footage for half an hour. There were not many people on the streets at night. They were all ¡°people¡± who were wandering aimlessly. As for normal people, Li Chengqian and Academician Lin Qui had never seen them again. Perhaps they were all dead, or perhaps they had hidden somewhere. ¡°Academician Lin, please report to your superiors immediately! Immediately cut off communication with Sunset and ban any planes, ships, humans, animals, and substances that come from Sunset! Anything may carry this terrifying virus.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve seen the power of the virus! Once anything carrying the virus enters our country, the consequences will be unimaginable.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was extremely solemn and serious. Academician Lin Qu nodded without hesitation. ¡°Also, please tell the higher-ups that they must immediately inform all countries to cut off all contact with Sunset! They must not contact anyone from Sunset. They must not let anyone from Sunset enter the country.¡± ¡°Once the virus spreads on a large scale¡­ Humanity will be in danger!¡± The current situation was exactly the same as the plot in the Master of All Professions game. The aliens discovered Earth and attacked with biological weapons. Humans on Earth were almost extinct in half a year. Only a small number of people developed antibodies to the virus and survived. And the virus was only the first wave of the aliens¡¯ attack. The first wave of attack had almost wiped out the entire human race. In order to survive, the remaining humans had no choice but to hide underground and struggle to live. ¡°Li Chengqian, this is an emergency. Send me the video. I¡¯ll go back to Dragon City immediately and transmit the surveillance footage and your thoughts to the higher-ups.¡± Academician Lin Qu also understood the horrors of the matter. His expression was solemn as he said anxiously. ¡°Alright! Academician Lin Qu, I¡¯ll send you a website. You can see these videos on this website! If there are new videos, I¡¯ll upload them to the website immediately. You can watch them immediately. You can also share this website directly and let others see these videos.¡± Li Chengqian replied with an ¡°okay¡± and sent the website to Academician Lin Qu. As Li Chengqian spoke, he handed a large bag of sparkling yellow Buckthorn fruits to Academician Lin Qu. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, take these fruits with you!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose. I¡¯ll arrange for a car to take you to the airport immediately.¡± Under Li Chengqian¡¯s arrangement, Academician Lin Qu held the Great Buckthorn fruits tightly and left with an extremely solemn expression. As soon as he got into the car arranged by Li Chengqian, he shared the website that Li Chengqian had sent him with the academicians of the Academy of Sciences. Then, he found the contact of a spokesperson who often appeared on television. Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t hesitate at all and directly dialed the number¡­ After Li Chengqian walked Academician Lin Qu out, he immediately returned to the factory¡¯s office. His heart was heavy as he looked at the people who died within minutes of being infected by the virus. ¡°The thing I was most worried about still happened!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s original plan was to wait quietly for university to start. Then, he would report to school. After successfully becoming a university student, he would use the massive amount of experience value points to upgrade the level of various subjects and to buy various technological products in the Professions mall. As long as Li Chengqian was given a year, he could raise the level of Divine Dragon¡¯s technology to the level of the next 50 years. He only needed a year to dominate all industries. However, he wasn¡¯t given much time in reality. ¡°Next, we have to fight with our lives on the line!¡± In the middle stages of the Master of All Professions game, from the time the aliens appeared, the atmosphere of the game had become abnormally tense. If he was not careful, he would end up starting the game again. In the game, it was just a game. He could always start over. He would waste some time in the worst case scenario. In reality, he only had one life! If he died, he would really die. Li Chengqian could not guarantee that he would have another chance. ¡°Bai Ze, go to the villa area and bring my father and mother to the Divine Dragon factory district!¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said to Bai Ze, who appeared on the big screen. Li Chengqian had wanted to build the factory area into a base, it was just that he had yet to start implementing it. After seeing the scene from Sunset, he decided to start building this area immediately. ¡°Master, Pathfinder 1 will arrive at the villa area in 23 minutes.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded. A driverless off-road vehicle drove out of the garage and drove steadily on the road. Soon, it disappeared at the end of the road. Li Chengqian thought about it and called Huang Ting. ¡°Huang Ting, immediately organize and move all the employees of the company to the factory area.¡± ¡°Boss, at the moment, the factory area is not equipped for work and living,¡± Huang Ting said in confusion. ¡°Although the environment is a little simple, it will do!¡± ¡°How about this? Talk to everyone and give me the information of the employees who are willing to come over to work.¡± ¡°As for the employees who are willing to come over, we¡¯ll move them here to work first.¡± He couldn¡¯t tell anyone about the virus, or it would cause panic. Based on Li Chengqian¡¯s estimation, even if the virus was discovered in advance, it was almost impossible to destroy the virus. Even if the Divine Dragon Country used all the measures he proposed, they would at most slow down the spread of the virus. It was impossible to completely cut off the path of the virus. ¡°Okay, Boss!¡± Although Huang Ting still couldn¡¯t understand Li Chengqian¡¯s decision, he didn¡¯t hesitate to carry out his instructions. Ever since he came to the Divine Dragon Software Company, there were many times when he could not understand Li Chengqian¡¯s orders. But it was proven time after time that Li Chengqian¡¯s arrangements were correct. After arranging the relevant matters, Li Chengqian focused his energy on serious matters. ¡°Bai Ze, help me check the phone number of the principal of Tianyi Normal University. I¡¯m preparing to settle the registration procedures!¡± Only after settling the admission procedures could Li Chengqian enter take on the University Student profession and buy knowledge, skills, and so on in the Professions Mall. This was the most crucial point in fighting the aliens. It would be fat hope to try to fight the aliens with their current level of technology. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already obtained the exact information of the principal of Tianyi Normal University. Li Lin, 58 years old, from Tianyi City in Jinshan Province. His phone number is 12156***, and his home address¡­¡± Bai Ze was the god of the internet. In less than a minute, Bai Ze had found out everything about Principal Li Lin. ¡°Well done!¡± Li Chengqian nodded and dialed the phone number Bai Ze gave. Chapter 280 - 280 Do Mosquitoes Carry Viruses? 280 Do Mosquitoes Carry Viruses? Sunset, Holy Shield region. At this moment, it was like an apocalypse. At that time, a huge meteorite had cracked open in the sky above the Holy Shield region. It split into thousands of silver meteorites and fell to the ground. Of the thousands of meteorites, most landed within Sunset. A very small portion fell into the sea. The meteorite in front of the Assistant Liwen was just one of many. The effect of all the meteorites was the same as the meteorite that Liwen had picked up. There was a fatal virus in the meteorite. The scene Li Chengqian saw from the surveillance footage was repeated all over Sunset. Gunshots, roars of fear, and cries of despair appeared everywhere in Sunset. It was as if it was an apocalypse. The doors of the White House were tightly closed. It was a thick steel door that was missile-proof. On the third floor of the White House, observation facilities were opened one by one, and soldiers wearing biochemical masks were looking out in horror. They saw more and more zombies gathering outside the building. The zombies in front were pushed to the ground by the zombies behind, and the zombies behind stood on the zombies in front. The layers of zombies kept stacking, causing the zombies to get closer and closer to the entrance of the observation facilities. ¡°Leader, what should we do?¡± A young soldier was covered in sweat, his eyes filled with extreme fear. A blonde soldier gulped and looked at the zombies that were getting closer and closer to him. ¡°F*ck! This is too scary!¡± ¡°Has hell come to earth?¡± ¡°There are actually zombies in this world!¡± ¡°A dead person can still move.¡± From above, the vantage point was very good. He could easily see the entire bodies of the zombies. Their chests were empty, all their organs had disappeared. A gray mist floated in the zombies¡¯ empty chests, and it was beating like a heart. This hell-like scene terrified the blonde soldier. His entire body turned cold. As for the soldier whom everyone treated as leader, he suppressed the fear in his heart. ¡°Open fire and kill these monsters. Don¡¯t let them approach us!¡± Immediately, the loud sound of guns firing rang out. Tap, tap, tap¡­ Amidst the intense gunshots, zombies were knocked to the ground by the bullets. Some zombies¡¯ heads were even shattered like watermelons. But soon, these incomplete corpses stood up shakily again and walked towards the area where the White House was. In the conference room on the top floor of the White House, Sunset¡¯s most powerful man had a look of fear in his eyes. He looked at the video from the camera and the fearless zombies in the video. ¡°Aren¡¯t zombies fictional characters in the movies?¡± ¡°Why did they really appear! This is too terrifying!¡± ¡°Furthermore, this virus is much more contagious than what¡¯s described on television! Normal people will be infected within a few hundred meters of the infected zombie.¡± Sunset was not to be trifled with. After the virus broke out, it received the news very quickly and took action immediately. ¡°Royce, how long will it take for our biodefense unit to arrive?¡± The President of Sunset looked outside the building and asked impatiently as more and more zombies piled up. ¡°Mr. President, three minutes left! They will arrive in approximately three minutes!¡± ¡°Mr. President, don¡¯t worry. Our biodefense unit is the most advanced. As soon as they make a move, we¡¯ll quickly eliminate these monsters.¡± ¡°The experts have already proven that although the virus is very powerful, it also has a weakness, which is the fear of heat!¡± ¡°Our biodefense team is armed with flamethrowers. Once they arrive at the scene can they instantly burn all the zombies to ashes and burn all the viruses around them.¡± Royce was Sunset¡¯s defense chief. His voice was filled with confidence. Just then, the scene on the big screen changed. The originally aimless zombies seemed to be controlled by something. Everyone turned to the direction of the snipers and walked towards them collectively. The densely packed zombies were like an ant nest, almost filling up the area below the entrance to the observation facilities. There were no gaps between them. The snipers kept firing at them, but it was all in vain. ¡°Oh, f*ck!¡± A young soldier ran out of bullets and reached for the grenade at his waist. ¡°Go to hell! I¡¯m going to blast you monsters into pieces!¡± The young soldier roared crazily. He pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it. BOOM! A loud explosion sounded. ¡°Oh, f*ck, you b*stard, why did you use the grenade!¡± The soldier who was called the leader was terrified when he heard the explosion. If the grenade could be used, he would have used it long ago! In the face of zombies, any part of the zombie¡¯s body was highly contagious. An explosive weapon like a grenade would send the zombie¡¯s body flying everywhere. Fragments could also land inside the observation facilities. ¡°Oh, f*ck!¡± The more people were worried about something, the more likely it was that something would happen. Accompanied by the sound of an explosion, a small black object flew up from under the observation facilities and landed in the room behind it. Everyone looked at this fragment and broke out in cold sweat. ¡°Fortunately, we have our personal protective equipment. Otherwise, I would have been infected too.¡± ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Just as everyone was rejoicing, the young soldier who had just thrown the grenade started coughing loudly. ¡°Oh, f*ck!¡± The soldier who was called the leader shouted in horror. ¡°Kill him, he¡¯s infected!¡± The other soldiers¡¯ voices were also filled with extreme fear. ¡°Run, let¡¯s run! It¡¯s useless to kill him!¡± A soldier reacted quickly. Without thinking, he turned around and ran in. When the other soldiers heard this, they also ran in without hesitation. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± The young soldier pinched his throat and coughed violently. He was in excruciating pain. When the Chief of Defence, who was originally full of confidence, saw the situation on the screen, his expression immediately became serious. He was originally sitting in his seat, but when he saw the situation on the big screen, he immediately stood up. ¡°Mr. President, I think we have to leave immediately!¡± ¡°Otherwise, we¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡± ¡°Cough¡­ What did you say?¡± The President felt a little uncomfortable in his neck and couldn¡¯t help but cough twice. ¡°Why is there a mosquito?¡± After saying that, the president felt that something was wrong. His face changed. He said in despair, ¡°Royce, do you think mosquitoes can carry viruses? Cough¡­¡± The Chief of Defence¡¯s face was filled with extreme fear. ¡°Oh, f*ck, mosquitoes? Cough¡­ Oh my god, mosquitoes can carry viruses!¡± Then, the two of them couldn¡¯t help but cough violently. They coughed out dark red lung tissues. They gripped their necks tightly as they felt suffocated. They were in excruciating pain. After a while, the two of them lay on the ground in pain. The expressions on their faces disappeared and they became wooden. Their eyes were bloodshot. Then, they stood up stiffly. The skin and muscles on their chests had disappeared. There was only a gray fog pulsing in their empty chests. Then, the two of them began to wander aimlessly¡­ In the White House, all the living people had disappeared. Chapter 281 - 281 Early Enrolment 281 Early Enrolment Tianyi Normal University, Principal¡¯s office. Principal Zhao Chengfei¡¯s smile was extremely warm as he welcomed Li Chengqian in. ¡°Li Chengqian, welcome to Tianyi Normal University.¡± Zhao Chengfei had been overjoyed recently. The Tianyi Normal University¡¯s reputation had soared after Li Chengqian filled in the application form for the University. Then, many famous professors and scholars began to contact the school, asking to teach at Tianyi Normal University. There were also many wealthy businessmen who used all kinds of connections to inquire about Tianyi Normal University. Then, they tried all means to talk to Zhao Chengfei about investing in the University¡¯s scientific research projects. Most of them had a condition attached, which was that Li Chengqian needed to participate in the scientific research project. As such, the relevant companies and wealthy businessmen only made initial contact. At the same time, the relevant departments in Jinshan Province and the leaders of Tianyi City were also getting more interested in him. There were even many senior leaders who expressed their desire to take a look at Tianyi Normal University when school started. In the past, Zhao Chengfei had a very low profile. No one paid much attention to him, and not many people took him seriously. Although Zhao Chengfei was high spirited, he was very clear-headed. He knew how this sudden ¡°success¡± came about. Everything was because Li Chengqian had filled in the application form for Tianyi Normal University! Therefore, after receiving Li Chengqian¡¯s call, Zhao Chengfei immediately agreed to his request to meet. After Li Chengqian sat down, Principal Zhao eagerly served him a cup of tea that he brewed. ¡°Principal Zhao, you¡¯re too kind!¡± Li Chengqian said politely after taking the teacup. ¡°Principal Zhao, I came to look for you this time because I need a favor.¡± After Li Chengqian and Zhao Chengfei exchanged a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re too polite. If there¡¯s anything you need, please just tell me. I definitely won¡¯t decline if I can help you.¡± Zhao Chengfei agreed without any hesitation. In fact, he was also puzzled that Li Chengqian would actually ask him for help. With Li Chengqian¡¯s current status and wealth, there should be very few things in Tianyi City that Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t do. If Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t do it, then the greatest possibility was that he, Zhao Chengfei, couldn¡¯t do it either. Therefore, Zhao Chengfei agreed without any pressure. ¡°Principal Zhao, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony then!¡± ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, I want to get the acceptance letter first. After getting the acceptance letter, I want to immediately go through the admission procedures for Tianyi Normal University. Can you do it?¡± Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and bluntly made his request. [Advanced Profession: University Student] [University Student advancement requirement 1: Attain Master level for all Student profession skills (Completed).] [University Student advancement requirement 2: Obtain high school graduation certificate (Completed).] [University Student advancement requirement 3: Consume 5,000 experience value points (Completed).] [University Student advancement requirement 4: Obtain a university acceptance letter and complete the admission procedures (Incomplete).] Currently, Li Chengqian had already fulfilled three of the four conditions for taking on the University Student profession. There was only one condition that had not been fulfilled. In reality, Li Chengqian had already completed the first half of the fourth condition! He had already received more than a hundred acceptance letters from the best universities in the world. However, they were too far away. Li Chengqian had no desire to go. He wanted to use Tianyi Normal University to fulfill the last condition to take on the University Student profession. Only those who had taken on the University Student profession were qualified to fight against aliens. After Zhao Chengfei heard Li Chengqian¡¯s request, his eyes were filled with surprise because Li Chengqian¡¯s request was simply too basic. Moreover, it was something Zhao Chengfei had dreamed of doing but didn¡¯t dare to do. In fact, during this period of time, Zhao Chengfei was also worried. If Li Chengqian had only filled in the application form for Tianyi Normal University just for fun and finally didn¡¯t enroll in the University at all, the ¡°good¡± treatment he received from various channels during this period of time would immediately disappear. In fact, he was still secretly worried. He was even considering if he should go to the Divine Dragon Software Company to look for Li Chengqian and confirm if he would indeed be attending Tianyi Normal University. This was an unexpected gift from heaven. Li Chengqian actually personally came to look for him. His lucky star was really shining bright. Once he handed the acceptance letter to Li Chengqian, settled the admission procedures for him and transferred his student status to Tianyi Normal University. Li Chengqian would then be a student of the University. Zhao Chengfei was a little stunned because he was overwhelmed by the surprise. ¡°Principal Zhao, what¡¯s wrong? Is it very troublesome?¡± Li Chengqian asked when he saw that Zhao Chengfei hadn¡¯t said anything. ¡°No, it¡¯s not troublesome, not troublesome at all!¡± Zhao Chengfei finally reacted and suppressed the joy in his heart. Zhao Chengfei patted his chest and promised, ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll make arrangements immediately. I guarantee that I¡¯ll settle your admission matter by today!¡± On Zhao Chengfei¡¯s instructions, a blank acceptance letter was sent to Zhao Chengfei¡¯s office in just five minutes. Zhao Chengfei picked up a pen and wrote Li Chengqian¡¯s name on it. The handwriting was bold and flamboyant. One could almost feel Zhao Chengfei¡¯s joy in his writing. Zhao Chengfei blew the ink on the acceptance letter dry before handing it to Li Chengqian. [You have received the 187th university acceptance letter! You still need to complete the admission procedures for the University Student profession.] He said with a smile, ¡°Li Chengqian, this is your acceptance letter. Welcome to Tianyi Normal University!¡± ¡°When you get to school, you can tell me directly if you need anything.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll satisfy your needs immediately as long as the University is able to!¡± ¡°If the University doesn¡¯t have the resources to satisfy your needs, I¡¯ll do anything to find the resources.¡± ¡°I promise you that you won¡¯t have to take any regular courses, and you won¡¯t have to take any grade exams.¡± ¡°As long as you submit a qualified graduation thesis or research results, you can graduate immediately.¡± Zhao Chengfei could see very clearly that with Li Chengqian¡¯s current status, power, and wealth, it was already his great luck to have him study at Tianyi Normal University. Moreover, a genius like Li Chengqian should not be constrained at all. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t treat Li Chengqian like any normal student. Giving Li Chengqian full freedom for free play would be more effective than making him do rote learning. Chapter 282 - 282 Taking on the University Student Profession 282 Taking on the University Student Profession Since Principal Zhao had given him so much leeway, Li Chengqian would naturally repay his kindness. ¡°Principal Zhao, thank you so much! You¡¯re really such a kind and understanding person,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re a genius. A genius naturally can¡¯t be treated in a normal manner.¡± ¡°Apart from what I just said¡­ I also have a request. You can agree if you think it¡¯s convenient. If you don¡¯t like it, I definitely won¡¯t force you. Everything will be up to you.¡± Zhao Chengfei looked at Li Chengqian expectantly. ¡°Please speak,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. He liked the way Zhao Chengfei spoke. When Zhao Chengfei heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, his face lit up. ¡°Li Chengqian, I would like you to join the WeChat group of our Information Faculty professors. When we encounter problems that we don¡¯t understand, we would like to ask you for guidance.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this isn¡¯t mandatory.¡± Zhao Chengfei was afraid that the request he had just made would cause Li Chengqian to misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained. ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you wish to join or not.¡± ¡°Even if you join the group, whether you reply or not is up to you.¡± After Zhao Chengfei finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian with a burning gaze. If a world-class software expert such as Li Chengqian joined, the standards of the professors would be greatly improved with a little guidance from him. ¡°No problem!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. It was just joining a chat group. It was no big deal. It wasn¡¯t like he had to answer! By that time, he could also arrange for Bai Ze to use his account to selectively respond to some questions. Zhao Chengfei was ecstatic. Li Chengqian then asked, ¡°When do you think my enrollment can be done? It¡¯s quite urgent.¡± In the past, Li Chengqian was actually not that anxious about taking on the University Student profession. Even if he did not become a university student, with the professions he had now and the corresponding skills, he would take on the entire world. If he was given some time, he could surpass all the countries and everyone else. However, when facing aliens who were many times more advanced than human civilization, the skills he had now weren¡¯t enough. ¡°Li Chengqian, come, please fill in a form. You just have to sign!¡± Zhao Chengfei was all smiles as he handed a registration form to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian took a look. It was a simple form asking for basic information. He spent two minutes filling in the admission form. Then, Zhao Chengfei handed the form to a staff member from the office. ¡°Li Chengqian, please wait for a while. After they have affixed the seal and keyed in your information into the system of Tianyi Normal University, you will be officially enrolled!¡± ¡°This process only takes 10 minutes!¡± ¡°Many professors are very happy to hear that you¡¯re coming to our school to study.¡± ¡°I heard that you have chosen to study life sciences. Almost all the professors from all relevant majors came to me and asked me to adjust their classes. They want to be your mentor.¡± Speaking of this, Zhao Chengfei also yearned to do so himself. In fact, not only did the professors want a chance to teach Li Chengqian, but he also wanted it! In the future, he could brag to his peers that he had once taught Li Chengqian and that he was his mentor. He would definitely be envied by his peers. This would be a lifetime of glory. Who wouldn¡¯t want it? ¡°There are also many professors who want to consult you,¡± Zhao Chengfei said enthusiastically. As he opened the WeChat app, he displayed his personal QR code so that Li Chengqian could scan it and connect with him. Li Chengqian was a little helpless. He was only here to settle the admission procedures. He was still just a student. After hearing Zhao Chengfei¡¯s words, he didn¡¯t feel like a student. Instead, he felt like an expert who had come to lecture at Tianyi Normal University. After he had added Li Chengqian as a friend, Zhao Chengfei sent Li Chengqian an invitation to join the group. The chat group of the professors at Tianyi Normal University was originally dead silent. No one spoke at all. The last time they spoke was at the end of the semester, when Zhao Chengfei issued a holiday notice. Then, a new message appeared in the group chat. Li Chengqian joined the group chat! ¡°Everyone, is this Li Chengqian from the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± A professor named Li Meiling sent a message. ¡°What else can mediocre people like us do other than be envious of a big shot joining the group chat?¡± A professor from the School of Arts said enviously. ¡°Is it really Li Chengqian?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian has really come to our school? And he has even joined our group?¡± ¡°Welcome, Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°With Li Chengqian¡¯s participation, the scientific research abilities of Tianyi Normal University will increase by a level.¡± ¡°Welcome, welcome!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I have a lot of questions to ask you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Mr. Li, you have finally arrived. Mr. Li, I have a question¡­¡± An old professor from the School of Information said in surprise. ¡°Thank you, everyone! I¡¯m a student. I¡¯m also on a learning journey. If you have any questions, you can raise them and we can discuss them together.¡± Li Chengqian also politely sent a message in the group chat. Then, he put down his phone. Seeing that there were more than 450 people in this group, an idea popped up in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he looked at the smiling Zhao Chengfei and said, ¡°Principal Zhao, actually, I have an idea.¡± ¡°I want to ask, are there many scientific research projects in Tianyi Normal University?¡± The smile on Zhao Chengfei¡¯s face immediately froze, and he seemed a little embarrassed. Tianyi Normal University was just an inconspicuous, ordinary university. Its undergraduate program was only approved three years ago. Before that, Tianyi Normal University was only a specialized school. There was no need to ask about the number of scientific research projects. He only needed to ask if there was or wasn¡¯t. After the school was promoted to university, with the support of his superiors, there were gradually more scientific research projects, but there weren¡¯t many. Li Chengqian basically understood what was going on after seeing the look on Zhao Chengfei¡¯s face. ¡°Principal Zhao, I have an idea.¡± ¡°Our Divine Dragon Software Company is currently involved in a lot of industries. In some industries, our Company is ahead of the world.¡± In terms of operating system and internet technology, the Company was already the number one in the world. ¡°But in many fields, the Divine Dragon Software Company has no foundation! For example, in the field of life sciences, medicine, mines and metallurgy, mechanical forging and manufacturing, and so on¡­¡± ¡°If the Divine Dragon Software Company wants to make a breakthrough in these areas, they need a large number of experts, professors, and researchers to participate.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Software Company doesn¡¯t have these resources, but Tianyi Normal University happens to have them.¡± ¡°Therefore, I want the Divine Dragon Software Company to cooperate with Tianyi Normal University. We will fork out the money, and Tianyi Normal University will contribute the technology and manpower to carry out research on related projects.¡± ¡°I wonder what Principal Zhao thinks?¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Chengfei. Li Chengqian had already displayed astonishing talent in operating systems, software development, and lithography machines. If he was also so talented and invincible in other fields, it would be even more unbelievable. In the name of project cooperation, he would guide the professors of Tianyi Normal University to complete relevant scientific research. Li Chengqian would be able to keep a low profile by hiding behind the scenes. Zhao Chengfei¡¯s breathing quickened. He looked at Li Chengqian excitedly. ¡°This is a good idea. This is a good idea!¡± In fact, the teachers of the Tianyi Normal University were quite good at scientific research, but scientific research cost money. As Tianyi Normal University was not an established comprehensive university, it didn¡¯t receive much research funding. Without research funding, there would be no research. If there were no research results, there would be even less research funding next year. This was simply a vicious cycle. Li Chengqian¡¯s suggestion just now gave them a chance of breaking the vicious cycle. Just then, a translucent notification popped up in front of Li Chengqian. When Li Chengqian saw this notification, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. [You have successfully completed the admission procedures at Tianyi Normal University!] [The prerequisites for taking on the University Student profession have all been completed.] [Do you want to immediately take on the University Student profession?] This was precisely why he had come to look for Zhao Chengfei. This is the moment he had been waiting for. It was so that he could quickly become a University Student. Chapter 283 - 283 Virology 283 Virology Li Chengqian finally shook off the very enthusiastic Zhao Chengfei half an hour later. ¡°He¡¯s simply too enthusiastic!¡± Li Chengqian wiped his sweat and waved to Zhao Chengfei, who was standing outside the car window with a smile on his face. The car accelerated out of the school, as if he was fleeing. After the car was out of Zhao Chengfei¡¯s sight, Li Chengqian said, ¡°Bai Ze, activate the automatic driving mode. We¡¯ll go to the factory in the small desert.¡± ¡°Autopilot mode has been successfully activated¡­ Vehicle control has been taken over.¡± ¡°Estimated 23 minutes to the Divine Dragon Software Company in the small desert.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice came from the central console. Li Chengqian let go of the steering wheel and took his foot off the accelerator. The car drove quickly and steadily on the road. It was even steadier and safer than a human driving. At the same time, it was also faster. The autopilot ability of the car had already been tested countless times. Li Chengqian was very assured. Therefore, he focused his attention on the translucent notification in front of him again. [The prerequisites for taking on the University Student profession have all been completed.] [Do you want to immediately take on the University Student profession?] Without any hesitation, Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart, ¡°Take on the University Student profession immediately!¡± [You have successfully taken on the University Student profession. Current Student Profession level 0¡­] [A new function has been unlocked in the Professions mall¡­] [Knowledge Purchase module successfully activated. You can buy any knowledge in the Professions mall¡­] [Application Technology module successfully activated. You can buy any technology you need from the Professions mall¡­] The moment Li Chengqian successfully became a University Student, translucent words kept appearing in front of him. Li Chengqian was beaming after reading the notifications. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s exactly the same as the Master of All Professions game in my previous life!¡± Li Chengqian was very excited. ¡°Open the Professions mall!¡± Li Chengqian transmitted his thoughts. A Professions mall that looked like a webpage appeared in front of Li Chengqian. One was a Knowledge module, and the other was an Application Technology module. Li Chengqian opened the Knowledge module without thinking. Then, he entered the name of the asphyxiation virus in the search box. Soon, the search results came out. [No corresponding knowledge or technology.] Li Chengqian was a little disappointed. ¡°Then let¡¯s search for information related to the virus.¡± Following Li Chengqian¡¯s thoughts, countless names of knowledge appeared on the translucent page in front of him. [Biological Virology (Beginner), 1 million experience value points. Microbiology (Beginner) is required as a prerequisite for learning.] [Biological Virology (Intermediate), 10 million experience value points. Virology (Beginner), Microbiology (Intermediate) are required as prerequisites for learning.] [Biological Virology (Advanced), 100 million experience value points. Virology (Intermediate), Microbiology (Advanced) are required as prerequisites for learning.] Li Chengqian thought for a moment and clicked on ¡®Learn Biological Virology (Advanced)¡¯. Immediately, a notification box popped up. [To learn Biological Virology (Advanced), you need to learn the prerequisites of Biological Virology, Microbiology, Biology, and other subjects at the same time. A total of 500 million experience value points are required. Do you want to learn it?] Li Chengqian looked at the remaining experience value points on his personal interface and the corners of his mouth twitched. That was because he only had 1.5 billion experience value points at the moment. He had thought that it was a lot, but he had almost used up a third of it just to study Biological Virology to the advanced stage. This rate of consumption was extremely terrifying. ¡°I won¡¯t learn this for the time being!¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and felt that it was better to take a look first. Then, he exited the Knowledge module and switched the Application Technology module. ¡°Search for technologies related to virus vaccines!¡± Immediately, many related technologies appeared on the translucent page in front of Li Chengqian. [The general-purpose virus vaccine preparation technology can provide immunity to most viruses. It also has a certain effect on highly toxic viruses. One dose is effective for life.] [Requirement 1: Biological Virology (Advanced)] [Requirement 2: 500 million experience value points] [Specific virus vaccine preparation technology. Through this technology, we can develop the technology to prepare specific viruses. It is targeted for mutated viruses, humanoid viruses, and alien virus vaccines.] [Requirement 1: Biological Virology (Advanced)] [Requirement 2: 500 million experience value points] ¡°This is it, this is it!¡± Li Chengqian was ecstatic when he saw the introduction. Specific virus vaccine preparation technology was exactly what was needed for the current situation! With this technology, human tragedies could be avoided. The asphyxiation virus was really too terrifying. It had just landed on the ground and within a few hours, it had almost wiped out the humans in the Holy Shield region of Sunset. There were about a million people living in the Holy Shield region. Among these one million people, there were less than 10,000 people who could withstand the virus. If the virus spread worldwide, only about 30 million people out of the world¡¯s 8 billion people could survive the virus in half a year. A small virus could wipe out the entire human civilization in half a year. This was the horror of the alien civilization. This was the horror of biological warfare. ¡°This technology is the technology to save the entire human civilization! After buying this technology, we have to immediately develop and produce a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. We have to develop a vaccine for everyone before the asphyxiation virus spreads to Divine Dragon.¡± After Li Chengqian saw the description of the specific vaccine, he made a decision. There were countless technologies in the Professions mall, but what Li Chengqian needed the most now was technology related to virus vaccines. ¡°Purchase Biological Virology knowledge (Advanced).¡± Biological Virology (Advanced) was a prerequisite for all technologies. Just like the prerequisite technology in the Game, Li Chengqian bought it directly. [You have consumed 500 million experience value points and obtained Biological Virology (Advanced)! Current experience value points remaining is 1.25 billion.] Immediately, a huge amount of information and knowledge about biological organisms, micro organisms, and viruses was written into Li Chengqian¡¯s memory. In the past, Li Chengqian had read many medical books. He also had a certain understanding of viruses. However, compared to the Biological Virology (Advanced) that he had bought with experience value points, his previous understanding of viruses was like a drop of water in the ocean. It was not worth mentioning at all. The Biological Virology (Advanced) that he had obtained this time contained all the information about viruses on Earth, the characteristics of all the viruses, their pathogenicity, the way they spread, their living environment, and so on. HIV virus, hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, flu virus¡­ He knew all the characteristics and effects of the viruses. Moreover, Li Chengqian had also obtained a way to treat these viral infections. ¡°Even if one was infected with the HIV virus, it can be eliminated from the body¡­¡± A huge amount of knowledge that exceeded the scope of human knowledge was engraved in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind under the effect of the Master of All Professions game. Li Chengqian was very familiar with this knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind. He had grasped and understood it all. However, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t spend too much time on Biological Virology (Advanced). After Li Chengqian obtained Biological Virology (Advanced), he immediately switched the screen to the Application Technology module. Chapter 284 - 284 Use a Hydrogen Bomb? 284 Use a Hydrogen Bomb? ¡°Buy specific virus vaccine preparation technology.¡± Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart without any hesitation. [You have consumed 500 million experience value points and obtained the technology to prepare a specific virus vaccine! Current experience value points remaining is 750 million.] After the translucent notification appeared, all the information about this technology was transmitted to Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. All the details of the technology were extremely clear to Li Chengqian, it was as if Li Chengqian had used this technology countless times. After obtaining the technology to prepare a specific virus vaccine, Li Chengqian fell into deep thought. ¡°Specific virus vaccine preparation technology can indeed be used to prepare a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus.¡± ¡°However¡­ We need to prepare a lot of instruments. The instruments are not difficult. We just need to pay for them. We can also produce instruments that don¡¯t exist in reality.¡± ¡°The most difficult thing is to obtain a sample of the asphyxiation virus.¡± ¡°After the virus laboratory is completed, I have to go out and collect live samples of the virus at Sunset.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was very serious. The most basic condition to create a vaccine through the production of a specific virus vaccine was to obtain a live virus, which was only available in Sunset. After Li Chengqian returned to the factory, he immediately put the brainwave receiver on his head. ¡°Focus!¡± ¡°Rational Thinking!¡± ¡°Mental coding!¡± Three Skills were used at the same time. Relevant technical information about specific virus vaccine preparation technology, equipment blueprint, equipment process requirements, production process, preparation method, and so on appeared on the computer at an extremely fast speed. The specific virus vaccine preparation technology was a systematic technology. It would be difficult to complete if it was just Li Chengqian alone. The entire technology had to be dismantled. Other than the most critical technology, the other relevant technologies could be shared. Others only had the ability to cooperate with Li Chengqian in the production of a specific vaccine after obtaining the technology he had passed on. ¡°Bai Ze, I¡¯ll send you the various equipment parameters needed for the preparation of the specific virus vaccine. Search the Internet. If they can meet our standards, immediately place an order.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s no ready-made equipment that can meet our requirements, check and see if those companies have the ability to produce the equipment we need. Directly place an order for them.¡± Li Chengqian recorded the equipment needed to prepare the specific virus vaccine into the computer while instructing Bai Ze in a cold voice. ¡­ In Sunset, the situation in the Holy Shield region attracted the high vigilance of the Sunset army. In the conference room of Sunset¡¯s Global Strategy Center, the highest military command organ of the Sunset, smoke was lingering in the air. There were not many people at the meeting. There were only five people at the main table. The highest-ranking person in charge of the military, Admiral Arthur. Commanders of the North, South, East, and West Command. The soldiers who weren¡¯t at the conference table were also in charge of various professions. General Arthur arranged for someone to play the video captured by the camera, the video captured by the military drone, and the video captured by the spy satellite on the big screen. ¡°Gentlemen, this is the information we have!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a terrifying virus. As long as you¡¯re infected with it, you¡¯ll start coughing in three minutes. After five minutes, your lungs will tear and you¡¯ll die from asphyxiation.¡± ¡°After the virus appeared from Goddess Street, it spread to the entire Holy Shield region in just three hours!¡± ¡°Gentlemen, the Holy Shield region is finished! More than a million people have become zombies! They¡¯re dead. Their bodies have become hotbeds for the virus to grow. Under the control of the virus, they walked in all directions and brought the virus to other places to spread further.¡± ¡°Everyone in the White House has become zombies!¡± ¡°Everyone should have seen just now that a large number of zombies are walking along the road towards other cities and states.¡± ¡°Now, we have to do something! If we don¡¯t do anything, the entire Sunset will be destroyed by this terrifying virus,¡± Superior Arthur said extremely seriously. ¡°The experts from the Biological Science Academy and the Military Science Academy have given a suggestion. Immediately control the Holy Shield region and don¡¯t let any zombies walk out of it!¡± ¡°The virus carriers in the Holy Shield region must be eliminated immediately!¡± ¡°After eliminating the zombies in all the areas where zombies have appeared in the Holy Shield region, all of them will be sprayed with disinfectant on a large scale so as to completely wipe out the virus.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what the experts say.¡± ¡°Everyone, please share your opinions! Let¡¯s start with the Eastern Command! Mark, what do you think we should do now?¡± Arthur looked at Lieutenant General Mark of the Eastern Command. ¡°General Arthur, do you know what viruses are most afraid of?¡± Mark was a top student. He had majored in Biology in the past, so he actually knew the characteristics of viruses very well. ¡°What?¡± Everyone looked at Mark curiously. Arthur also asked curiously. ¡°High temperatures. Viruses are most afraid of high temperatures. No matter how powerful a virus is, it loses its biological activity, its infectious and pathogenic nature under high temperatures.¡± Mark explained the virus¡¯s weakness. ¡°Therefore, I suggest that we mobilize the anti-chemical forces to guard the entrances along the way and use flamethrowers to annihilate all the zombies that have escaped.¡± ¡°In order to eliminate the large number of zombies in the Holy Shield region, I suggest experimenting with a small-yield hydrogen bomb! The hydrogen bomb is not radiative and will not have other residual effects.¡± ¡°When the hydrogen bomb explodes, it will release extreme heat. Not only can it destroy all the zombies, but the high temperature can also eliminate all the viruses in the air.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s the best way to deal with it at the moment.¡± ¡°Using hydrogen bombs on our homeland?¡± Admiral Arthur frowned. This idea was too dangerous. ¡°Admiral Arthur, there¡¯s no law that prohibits the use of hydrogen bombs on the homeland!¡± Mark continued. ¡°We have to control the virus immediately! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the virus spreads to other areas¡­¡± Everyone present couldn¡¯t help but shiver at the thought of that. ¡°Only a hydrogen bomb can contain the virus in the shortest time possible.¡± ¡°This is our only choice,¡± Mark said extremely solemnly. ¡­ Meanwhile, Academician Lin Qu had already returned to Divine Dragon very quickly. In the Academy of Sciences, the highest-ranking officials in the field of diseases, as well as academicians in the life sciences, diseases, and infectious diseases, were all waiting for his arrival with solemn expressions. Chapter 285 - 285 Ask Li Chengqian Directly 285 Ask Li Chengqian Directly ¡°Academician Lin Qu, where did the video you sent us come from? Is it true?¡± Seeing Academician Lin Qu rushed over, the person-in-charge of the control of communicable diseases at the provincial level, Dai Liming, stood up solemnly. After Dai Liming raised the question, everyone turned to look at Academician Lin Qu. Everyone was anxious. The people who came this time were all professionals in the diseases field. After watching the video provided by Academician Lin Qu, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel fear. The virus in the video was too powerful and deadly! Five minutes was all it took to kill someone. The distance of the infection was estimated to be more than a hundred meters. Anyone who was within a hundred meters of the zombies would be infected. After death, the virus could still control the corpse to stand up and move. It could form zombies and continue to spread the virus. Such a virus was an apocalyptic disaster for humans! Once it spread to the Divine Dragon, most of the people of Divine Dragon would die from the virus. ¡°Director Dai, these videos were all shown to me by Li Chengqian,¡± Academician Lin Qu replied extremely solemnly. ¡°I think everyone has heard of Li Chengqian¡¯s achievements in software technology!¡± ¡°Due to the need to compete with Sunset for control of the internet, Li Chengqian has been monitoring the relevant areas of Sunset during this period of time.¡± ¡°These videos were from a camera on Goddess Street in Sunset¡¯s Holy Shield region!¡± ¡°Other than this video, many videos captured by the cameras in the Holy Shield region have been transmitted to this private online space. I¡¯ve already sent the website to everyone before I came. I wonder if everyone has seen it?¡± Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t directly answer the question about the authenticity of the video. But everyone understood what he meant! This was true! Dai Liming¡¯s face darkened. He already understood that there was a 99% chance that what happened in the video was real. Dai Liming had been watching the other surveillance cameras that Academician Lin Qu had mentioned. Moreover, with Li Chengqian¡¯s settings, everyone could check the real-time situation of the cameras in the relevant areas of Sunset¡¯s Holy Shield region. Dai Liming had already surveyed the area before Academician Zeroqu returned. The scene made Dai Liming¡¯s heart sink and his hair stand on end. The Holy Shield region was quiet. The streets were filled with zombies wandering around. There was no conversation, no hawking, no crying, no laughter, and no fighting. As for the virus, more than a million people had perished within 2 hours of the virus¡¯ appearance in the Holy Shield region. With such a terrifying mortality rate, even a hydrogen bomb looked like child¡¯s play. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s precisely because I¡¯ve seen it that I need to confirm the news again,¡± Dai Liming said in an extremely serious manner. This was because the scene he saw was too terrifying. It was like hell. He needed all the more to confirm the news with Academician Lin Qu. In addition to waiting for Academician Lin Qu to confirm the news, Dai Liming had already reported the relevant situation to the higher-ups. Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already verified the situation with Sunset. At the same time, they were also contacting the relevant personnel stationed in Sunset to urgently confirm the authenticity of the news. After Academician Lin Qu heard this, he was silent for a few seconds before he said, ¡°Li Chengqian asked me to help pass on a message.¡± ¡°He said that the virus was extremely contagious, and its toxicity is extremely terrifying. It would be impossible to contain it once it has spread on a large scale.¡± ¡°Please inform all the countries in the world immediately and send the video to all the countries in the world. Tell them to immediately close their ports to Sunset and reject any person and transportation from Sunset!¡± ¡°Please inform Sunset immediately and get them to prepare for it. We have to put out the virus before it spreads on a large scale. Once it spreads, everyone in the world will be finished.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for our country. Close the ports immediately and don¡¯t let anyone enter. No one!¡± Academician Lin Qu said everything Li Chengqian had told him in one breath. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll report Li Chengqian¡¯s message to the higher-ups.¡± Dai Liming nodded. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, other than these suggestions, has Li Chengqian proposed any other solutions?¡± Dai Liming said with a trace of hope in his eyes. Academician Lin Qu shook his head. Then, he emphasized again, ¡°Director Dai, please take Li Chengqian¡¯s message very seriously!¡± Just then, Dai Liming received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ¡°Director Dai, it has been verified, there¡¯s an epidemic in Sunset¡¯s Holy Shield region.¡± ¡°Just like in the movie Resident Evil, a terrifying virus has killed a million people in the Holy Shield region within a few hours!¡± After Dai Liming ended the call, his expression was extremely serious. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, please give me Li Chengqian¡¯s number. I want to talk to him!¡± Dai Liming had his own plans. He wanted to ask Li Chengqian for help. The fact that Li Chengqian was the first to find out about the pandemic in Sunset before anyone knew about it proved his ability. Although Academician Lin Qu said that Li Chengqian found out by accident, However, no one would believe these words. It was definitely because Li Chengqian had written some software to monitor Sunset that he was able to discover the abnormalities of Sunset at the first instance. Dai Liming¡¯s idea was very simple. He would ask Li Chengqian to continue monitoring the outbreak in Sunset. If there was any possibility of it spreading to Divine Dragon, he should inform him immediately. Academician Lin Qu gave the contact number to Dai Liming. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, thank you!¡± ¡°I see that you¡¯ve been holding this bag of fruits. It¡¯s quite heavy. You should put it down.¡± Dai Liming realized that Academician Lin Qu had come in with a big bag of yellow fruits. A very special hot and spicy aroma wafted from the bag, making everyone drool. In fact, many people had smelled that very special aroma. However, because Dai Liming had been talking about serious matters, no one brought it up. Now that Dai Liming mentioned it, a few academicians who were close with Academician Lin Qu said jokingly, ¡°Old Lin, what fruit is this? It smells good.¡± ¡°Let us try some!¡± ¡°Give me one to try and see if it¡¯s delicious.¡± After hearing these words, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s face suddenly changed. These Buckthorn fruits were his lifeblood. There was no way he would give it to anyone! Academician Lin Qu suddenly retracted his hand and hid the Great Buckthorn fruits behind him. ¡°Thank you for your concern, but I can¡¯t give you these fruits!¡± ¡°This is a very precious and special fruit.¡± ¡°If you really want to eat it, if you want it, go to Tianyi City to look for Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°He has a huge orchard that grows these Great Buckthorn fruits!¡± After saying that, Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t give the others a chance to speak. He carried the Great Buckthorn fruits and walked out. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, wait for me. I¡¯ll go with you¡­ What¡¯s so special about these Great Buckthorn fruits? Is there any special effect?¡± Dai Liming also walked out. He quickly followed and asked. He kept breathing in the aroma. The special fragrance stimulated his taste buds and made him salivate. Academician Lin Qu was helpless and could only reply, ¡°Director Dai, I¡¯ve already given you Li Chengqian¡¯s number. You should ask him directly.¡± After Academician Lin Qu said that, he stopped a car and quickly got in. ¡°Director Dai, go do what you need to do. I¡¯ll make a move first!¡± Chapter 286 - 286 Hydrogen Bomb Attack 286 Hydrogen Bomb Attack There was total silence at the Global Strategy Center after Mark proposed the plan. Everyone was thinking about the feasibility of Mark¡¯s plan. ¡°I agree! In order to prevent the virus from spreading, we won¡¯t hesitate to raze the Holy Shield region to the ground and turn it into scorched earth.¡± The Commander of the Western Command was the first to express his opinion. ¡°I also agree with Mark¡¯s opinion.¡± The Commander of the Northern Command also expressed his opinion. ¡°I agree too!¡± The Commander of the Southern Command also expressed its opinion. ¡°Alright, since everyone agrees with Mark¡¯s opinion, there¡¯s no time to lose! Let¡¯s issue the authorization together!¡± Arthur did not hesitate at all and took out a special laptop. The staff carefully selected the yield of the weapon, the landing point of the weapon, and the time when the weapon would arrive. After double-checking, he placed the special laptop on the table. Hydrogen bombs were the most terrifying weapon, and they were not easy to use. There were two ways to activate this terrifying weapon that could destroy everything. The first method was to get a joint authorization from the President of Sunset and Admiral Arthur. Unfortunately, Mr. President was clearly unable to do this at this moment. He had already been killed by the virus. The second way to activate the bomb was through authorization from the military. After obtaining the joint authorization of the four major commands, and with General Arthur¡¯s authorization, the hydrogen bomb could be activated. Arthur did one round of checks on the various parameters, and confirmed that all was in order. ¡°Gentlemen, come! Let¡¯s authorize the use of the hydrogen bomb!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use the most powerful weapon to send the damn virus to hell and let it know how powerful we are!¡± The four Commanders stood up one after another with a solemn expression on their faces. ¡°Anything will be reduced to ashes in the face of the hydrogen bomb!¡± ¡°Let the virus die!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll destroy them!¡± The four of them stepped forward and carefully checked the relevant settings for the use of the hydrogen bomb. After confirming that there were no issues, they all verified their iris, voice, and fingerprints. In the end, the special notebook was sent to General Arthur. Everyone looked at General Arthur quietly and nervously, witnessing this historic moment. Then he slapped the red button on the laptop. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Immediately, the screen in the conference room switched to a military base. The missile port opened, and a missile flew out of the missile silo with blinding fire. On the big screen was a map of Sunset. It marked the launch site and landing point of the missile, as well as the missile¡¯s path. In addition to this information, a countdown timer was displayed on the big screen. 3:22! ¡°Adjust the military satellite to the Holy Shield region!¡± General Arthur began to dispatch. ¡°Turn all the observation stations around the Holy Shield region towards it to observe the situation after the hydrogen bomb has gone off!¡± ¡°Mobilize the chemical warfare troops and rush to the five main entrances of the Holy Shield region immediately. Get them to block all the intersections with arms. If they encounter any zombies, burn them to ashes.¡± While Arthur was dispatching the missiles, the missiles carrying hydrogen warheads pierced through the clouds with bright flames and arrived above the Holy Shield region. Then, the missile landed accurately at the location of the White House. There was a terrifying explosion when the missile landed on the ground. BOOM! Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the hydrogen warhead at the top of the missile exploded! Immediately, destructive flames erupted from the warhead. The flames formed a huge fireball accompanied by a terrifying blinding light. The fireball was like the sun, scorching hot. The temperature of tens of millions of degrees melted everything. Whether it was the White House, zombies, or everything else, they instantly melted in the face of this terrifying temperature and turned into red magma. In an instant, the buildings within a kilometer of him disappeared. Everything that could be seen disappeared. This place turned into a huge magma lake. The fireball was still expanding rapidly. A minute later, the diameter of the fireball reached more than 40 kilometers. Everything within 40 kilometers was devoured by the fireball and everything disappeared. The once prosperous Holy Shield region instantly disappeared without a trace. The entire ground was very flat. All the buildings above the ground had been destroyed. The high and mighty statue of the Holy Mother was gone! The huge tower that was originally 500 meters tall was gone! No living creature could survive such a terrifying temperature. Even microorganisms would die. After the bombardment of this hydrogen bomb, the entire Holy Shield region became a forbidden area for life. The Global Strategic Centre, through military satellites, and the Observatory. Everyone could clearly see the terrifying consequences of the hydrogen bomb explosion. Although they had decided to release the hydrogen bomb, everyone¡¯s faces turned pale when they saw the consequences of the hydrogen bomb explosion. ¡°Oh, f*ck!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too powerful!¡± ¡°This is the power of a small sun. This is the power to destroy everything!¡± ¡°Damn virus, let¡¯s see if you can survive this.¡± However, those who could sit on the table were not ordinary people. They were all people who had seen many storms. Soon, they broke away from the terrifying scene of the hydrogen bomb explosion. Their expressions became excited. The solemn expressions on their faces disappeared and they became relaxed. Mark¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. ¡°Gentlemen, no creature can survive in such a situation!¡± ¡°Even the most tenacious microorganisms in life will be destroyed by this terrifying temperature.¡± ¡°All the viruses in the Holy Shield region have been eliminated!¡± The Commander of the Western Command also expressed his opinion. ¡°This operation was very successful!¡± ¡°The diameter of the Holy Shield region is 18 kilometers!¡± ¡°This hydrogen bomb explosion has already covered all the downtown areas of the Holy Shield region! All the zombies and viruses in the region have been wiped out.¡± ¡°Just now, the experts of the Military Academy of Sciences calculated that even if they walked out of the outermost area of the Holy Shield region, with the speed of the zombies, they wouldn¡¯t be able to move more than five kilometers during this period of time.¡± ¡°The range of the zombies is included in the range of the hydrogen bomb explosion!¡± ¡°In other words, all the zombies have been eliminated by the hydrogen bomb!¡± ¡°All the areas that the zombies passed through have been sanitized by the terrifying temperature after the hydrogen bomb exploded.¡± After hearing what the Commander of the Western Command said, the technicians marked the possible areas of zombie activity on the map. After everyone looked at the map, their expressions relaxed. ¡°Gentlemen, the next step is for the Military Academy of Sciences to investigate and find out how the virus came about. See if they can gather any clues about the virus.¡± Arthur¡¯s voice was relaxed. He lit a cigar as thick as a carrot and took a puff. He inhaled ecstatically and exhaled a large mouthful of smoke. At this moment, he slowly said, ¡°The White House is gone! All the high-ranking officials of the Sunset government have died from the virus.¡± ¡°In order to ensure the normal operation of Sunset, I suggest that we activate a state of emergency according to the Constitution and let the military take over the government!¡± ¡°What do you think of my suggestion?¡± Arthur spoke slowly, his eyes like a jackal¡¯s. After hearing General Arthur¡¯s suggestion, the four Commanders revealed a smug smile. The Sunset government had been wiped out by the virus. This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the military. ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°Agreed!¡± ¡°I agree too! We have to take over government functions immediately! We have to form a military government to manage the country, or the country will be in chaos.¡± ¡°We have to take responsibility for our country.¡± ¡°I think Admiral Arthur is the best candidate to be the acting president of the military junta.¡± Chapter 287 - 287 As Timid as a Mouse 287 As Timid as a Mouse In the Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian saw the destruction on the screen and suddenly stood up from his seat. ¡°Sunset actually used a hydrogen bomb!¡± ¡°What determination!¡± The cameras connected to the big screen kept switching under Bai Ze¡¯s control. When a camera was destroyed, it would switch to the nearest camera that was still functioning. At the same time, the military satellite images of Sunset and Divine Dragon were transmitted to the big screen in front of Li Chengqian in real time under Bai Ze¡¯s control. The huge fireball that erupted from the hydrogen bomb was like the sun, instantly annihilating everything. Nothing survived. That terrifying scene stunned Li Chengqian. ¡°Master, according to my calculations, the fireball from the hydrogen bomb that was set off covers all the urban areas of the Holy Shield region.¡± ¡°IThe temperature at the outermost edge of the coverage range has instantly increased to about 200 degrees.¡± ¡°The zombies in the Holy Shield region have all been destroyed.¡± ¡°On the ground, there is a 99.99% probability that the airborne virus has been eliminated!¡± Bai Ze analyzed the situation after the explosion. However, Li Chengqian¡¯s face remained solemn. Although the hydrogen bomb was powerful, the terror of the asphyxiation virus had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. ¡°In the Master of All Professions game, we¡¯ve used all kinds of methods to eliminate the virus.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve used hydrogen bombs too.¡± ¡°However, it can only stop the spread of the virus, but it can¡¯t completely destroy it.¡± ¡°There are indeed no more airborne viruses on the ground! However, there are still viruses underground and in the water. The birds that flew out of the Holy Shield region also carry viruses.¡± If the asphyxiation virus was so easy to deal with, why would the human population shrink from ten billion to tens of millions within half a year? Even if Sunset bombarded Earth with hydrogen bombs, it was unknown if the virus would be eliminated. In any case, the human race would have become extinct. Even if all the viruses had fortunately been eliminated by the hydrogen bomb, did they really think that the aliens would stop there? A biological weapon that was lethal to Earthlings was nothing more than a toy to aliens. They could continue to send viruses to Earth at any time. ¡°A vaccine. The only way now is a vaccine!¡± Li Chengqian muttered. If he wanted to develop a vaccine against the asphyxiation virus, he had to obtain the live virus. However, the asphyxiation virus was too toxic. Any living person who approached it would die in a few minutes. Therefore, Li Chengqian was prepared to use remote-controlled robots to obtain samples of the asphyxiation virus. To humans, the terrifying asphyxiation virus was deadly. But to robots, they were harmless. ¡°Bai Ze, call out the blueprint of the virus collection robot. Let¡¯s keep working!¡± Li Chengqian picked up a welding helmet and held a welding torch in his hand. He was about to continue welding the virus collection robot according to the blueprint on the big screen. At this moment, an unfamiliar number called. Bai Ze picked up the call under Li Chengqian¡¯s signal. ¡°Hello, Li Chengqian. I¡¯m Dai Liming from the Infectious Disease Control Center. I just asked Academician Lin qu for your number. There are some things I want to understand from you.¡± While Dai Liming was speaking, Dai Liming¡¯s biodata had already appeared on the big screen. Li Chengqian also knew about his position as the head of the provincial Infectious Disease Control Center. ¡°Hello, Director Dai!¡± Li Chengqian placed the welding torch on the workbench. ¡°Li Chengqian, since you were able to discover the Sunset virus situation right away, you must already know that Sunset had used a hydrogen bomb.¡± Dai Liming¡¯s voice was deep and had the authority of someone who had been used to power. However, in the process of talking to Li Chengqian, it was obvious that he was trying to downplay his power. ¡°According to our calculations, the virus in the Holy Shield region has been eliminated after Sunset¡¯s decisive actions!¡± ¡°We want to hear your opinion!¡± Dai Liming¡¯s voice was extremely sincere. ¡°My opinion?¡± ¡°My opinion is to maintain the current measures and not let any foreigners enter or leave the country!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let any aircraft from any country fly over our airspace.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let anything or anyone from any other country enter our country!¡± ¡°We have to destroy anything that comes from outside decisively! Just like how Sunset treated the Holy Shield region.¡± ¡°We will maintain such measures, and continue to observe the situation around the world. If no terrifying virus appears in half a year, we can remove the current prevention and control measures,¡± Li Chengqian said very seriously. The asphyxiation virus was too terrifying. Before the vaccine was developed, they could not let this terrifying virus enter Divine Dragon Country. Once a carrier of the virus entered the Divine Dragon Country, at least a billion people would die from the virus. Therefore, any measure was necessary! Absolutely necessary! On the other end of the line, in the provincial Infectious Disease Control Center, Dai Liming nodded after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words. He was the head of the provincial Infectious Disease Control Center and had already watched the video provided by Li Chengqian. He was extremely vigilant and wary of the virus that he saw in the video. It could kill people within a few minutes. Faced with a virus that was so infectious and lethal, he felt that any measure was necessary. However, Qian Fumin, the head of the Trade Department who was right in front of him, clearly didn¡¯t think so. ¡°Old Dai, give me the phone. I¡¯ll talk to Li Chengqian!¡± Qian Fumin frowned tightly, his eyes filled with disapproval. He had also watched the video of the virus outbreak. It was indeed terrifying to the extreme. It made his hair stand on end and gave him the chills. However, not long after, he saw Sunset¡¯s hydrogen bomb and its huge fireball devour everything. It was extremely shocking! After seeing the terrifying power of the hydrogen bomb destroy everything, Qian Fumin felt that nothing in this world could withstand the power of the hydrogen bomb. Anything would disappear under the bombardment of the hydrogen bomb. It was the same for viruses! Now that the virus had clearly been eliminated by the hydrogen bomb, Li Chengqian was simply overreacting by making such suggestions. ¡°Hello, Li Chengqian. I¡¯m Qian Fumin, the head of the Trade department!¡± ¡°The control measures you proposed might not be achievable.¡± ¡°The price is too high!¡± ¡°Because the entire world has become inter connected as one.¡± ¡°If we adopt the prevention and control measures you mentioned just now¡­ our country¡¯s economic development will be greatly affected.¡± ¡°There might even be a huge recession.¡± ¡°Half a year doesn¡¯t seem like a long time, but it¡¯s simply destructive to our domestic import and export companies and related industries.¡± ¡°Millions of people will lose their jobs and their livelihood!¡± ¡°When millions of people lose their jobs, their families will be affected. At least twenty million people will ultimately be affected.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree with your suggestion! I think you¡¯re too cautious! You¡¯re being overly cautious!¡± Qian Fumin¡¯s words were just short of saying that Li Chengqian was as timid as a mouse. Chapter 288 - 288 Live Virus Collection Robots 288 Live Virus Collection Robots ¡°Director Qian, in the face of such a terrifying virus, my suggestion is to be cautious!¡± After Li Chengqian heard what Qian Fumin said, he frowned and suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart. Compared to Qian Fumin¡¯s disdain for him, virus control was more important. ¡°Li Chengqian, because you were the first to discover the virus this time, the higher-ups want to hear your opinion.¡± ¡°When facing the virus, we do need to be cautious, but we can¡¯t be too cautious!¡± ¡°Next, I will suggest to the leaders not to have any direct contact with Sunset! This will prevent the spread of the terrifying virus from Sunset to our country.¡± ¡°At the same time, open up communication with other countries to ensure our country¡¯s status and employment will not be affected.¡± After Qian Fumin finished speaking, he handed the phone to Dai Liming without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak. Qian Fumin thought to himself, ¡°I had imagined that Li Chengqian was a young man full of vigor!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be a timid person who is so lacking in vigor!¡± ¡°Like an old man, he seeks stability in everything!¡± ¡°If this world only wants stability, there won¡¯t be any development at all.¡± ¡°The theme of the entire world is development, competition!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is indeed a genius. He has indeed made some money this year. But his aura is gloomy¡­ He probably won¡¯t achieve much in the future!¡± Qian Fumin shook his head. His opinion of Li Chengqian had lowered to the extreme because of this conversation. ¡°What a pity. Although he¡¯s a genius, his background is too humble, and his vision is too narrow!¡± In his heart, Qian Fumin already looked down on Li Chengqian. On the other hand, Li Chengqian listened to Qian Fumin¡¯s words and frowned on and off. Just as he was about to speak, Dai Liming¡¯s voice came through the phone. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯m sorry. Director Qian is especially young and talented. He¡¯s a very powerful person. He¡¯s young and impetuous. He¡¯s just been promoted to his current position and is eager to show some results! Therefore, his thinking is more radical. Don¡¯t be upset.¡± Dai Liming¡¯s tone was apologetic. ¡°I completely agree with your suggestion!¡± ¡°In the face of such a terrifying virus, no measure is too much!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely report your opinion to the leaders!¡± Dai Liming¡¯s voice was filled with determination. Just recalling all the scenes he saw in the video made Dai Liming tremble uncontrollably. His hair stood on end and he was terrified. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯re too polite! This is my duty.¡± After Dai Liming said this, he changed the topic and brought up another matter. ¡°Li Chengqian, I still have something to ask you.¡± Academician Lin Qu was carrying a bag of fruits that he had never seen before. The fruit smelled hot and spicy, and the aroma was very unique. Dai Liming had never seen such a fruit in his entire life. Especially when Academician Lin Qu looked at the fruit nervously, like a priceless treasure, Dai Liming became very intrigued. ¡°Please speak,¡± Li Chengqian said in a calm voice. ¡°When Academician Lin Qu came over today, he was holding a bag of crystal clear fruits the size of plums. The taste was very strange, it was hot and spicy. I¡¯ve never seen it before¡­¡± ¡°I asked Academician Lin Qu, but he didn¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°Furthermore, he left as if he was afraid that I would snatch his fruit.¡± ¡°He said that if you want to know what it is, he asked me to ask you!¡± Dai Liming asked curiously. ¡°Academician Lin Qu brought back a Great Buckthorn fruit! It¡¯s a very special fruit. After eating it, you can quickly recover your strength. It tastes very special and is quite delicious.¡± Li Chengqian was amused when he heard Dai Liming¡¯s description of Academician Lin Qu. ¡°Oh, is that so? How fast is the fast recovery of stamina you mentioned?¡± Dai Liming immediately grasped the crux of the matter. To be able to make Academician Lin Qu treat it so preciously, it was definitely not something ordinary. Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation was very simple. When Dai Liming heard it, he felt that it wasn¡¯t as simple as that. Li Chengqian sighed in his heart. ¡°As expected of someone in this position, this man is indeed sharp.¡± Then, he said calmly, ¡°After eating it, it can immediately restore one¡¯s stamina, making one feel energetic! For older people, the effect is immediate. It¡¯s especially good and lasts very long.¡± ¡°If Director Dai is interested, you can ask Academician Lin Qu for one. You¡¯ll understand after you¡¯ve tried it.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to look for him!¡± Dai Liming was tempted after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s description. After ending the call with Li Chengqian, he had wanted to go directly to the Divine Dragon Hall where the leaders are! But when he thought of what Li Chengqian had said to him, he changed his mind. He asked the driver to change direction and drove straight to Academician Lin Qu¡¯s house. ¡°After eating it, you will immediately restore your stamina¡­ Especially for older people, the effect is immediate and especially good¡­¡± Dai Liming glanced in the direction of the Divine Dragon Hall. ¡°The Divine Dragon Hall needs this very much!¡± ¡°If Li Chengqian¡¯s Great Buckthorn fruit is really as effective as he says, the leaders at the Divine Dragon Hall will value Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion even more.¡± ¡°Without the support of the leaders, Qian Fumin is just a clown.¡± ¡°Xiaozhang, drive faster!¡± Thinking of this, Dai Liming couldn¡¯t help but be a little excited. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head when he ended the call. ¡°Academician Lin Qu is really¡­¡± ¡°Qian Fumin is too radical and impulsive. He¡¯s not suitable to stay in such a high position at all.¡± ¡°Especially when the aliens have started to attack Earth. His radical personality is a disaster for any country.¡± ¡°To put it nicely, he has a radical personality. To put it bluntly, he¡¯s impulsive and brainless.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I must recommend to the leaders that he be removed from his position.¡± While Li Chengqian was thinking, his hands didn¡¯t stop moving. He put on the welding helmet and picked up the tools on the workbench again. Bai Ze also switched the screen to the blueprint of the new robot. Li Chengqian assembled the small parts according to the blueprint. Not far from Li Chengqian, hundreds of first-generation robots connected to the power supply were also assembling the relevant parts. Under Bai Ze¡¯s control, the small parts were combined to form a small module. One by one, the tiny components were assembled again. The mechanical arm, body, head, virus collection box, self-disinfecting device, and other related components gradually took shape. When the other large modules were formed, the installation of the core in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands was also completed. ¡°Living virus collection robot¡­¡± ¡°This is our only hope of survival!¡± Chapter 289 - 289 The Virus Returns 289 The Virus Returns In Sunset, in a place that was about 60 kilometers away from the Sacred Shield region. A strong goshawk descended from the sky and perched on a tree branch outside a restricted military area. The goshawk¡¯s eyes were extremely sharp. It stood motionless as it watched the soldiers who were falling in at the military camp. The goshawk was perched at the military camp¡¯s entrance. Nistan was a colonel in the military camp and was everyone¡¯s senior officer. ¡°Soldiers, bring our protective suits. We¡¯ll set off for the Holy Shield region immediately!¡± ¡°We have to protect all the intersections at the west gate of the Holy Shield region. The leaders have ordered that we destroy any creature that comes out of the west intersection.¡± ¡°In this mission, our weapons are high-temperature handheld and machine flamethrowers.¡± Following Nistan¡¯s order, everyone quickly received their protective suits and rushed into the military transport vehicles. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Amidst the roar of the vehicles, a long line of military transport vehicles, flame thrower vehicles, and fuel vehicles went out of the military camp¡¯s entrance. All the vehicles happened to pass by the road below the goshawk. Three minutes later, Nistan, who was in the first vehicle , started coughing. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± ¡°This damn weather. It¡¯s freezing at night, and it¡¯s damn hot during the day.¡± ¡°It caused me to catch a cold.¡± Nistan felt that he caught a cold because of the temperature difference. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± At this moment, Misri, who was driving the car for him, couldn¡¯t help but cough. He felt his neck itch. As the pilot coughed, all the soldiers who were holding back the urge to cough could no longer hold back their coughing. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± Violent coughs rose and fell in the entire convoy. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Fear appeared on Nistan¡¯s face. He was the commander of this military camp, so he knew some things that the soldiers did not. He knew that a very powerful virus had appeared in the Holy Shield region. Their symptoms now were exactly what it was like after one was infected with the virus. Nistan¡¯s heart sank when he thought of the description of the virus in the classified document. After being infected by the virus, one would cough violently, and their entire lungs would be coughed out. Five minutes later, people would suffocate to death from the virus. Then, their bodies would stand up under the control of the virus and become the carriers and spreaders of the virus. They would become virus-controlled zombies. ¡°Didn¡¯t the leaders say that the virus has been completely eliminated?¡± ¡°Why are we suddenly infected with the virus?!¡± Nistan was puzzled. Amidst the intense coughing, he leaned against the seat and couldn¡¯t move. ¡°Cough cough cough¡­¡± Lung tissues were coughed out of his lungs, making him feel extreme pain. Originally, he wanted to send out the information about the virus to warn the leaders of the army. But he couldn¡¯t move at all. Under the invasion of the virus, no one in the entire convoy could send any news out. The driver was infected almost at the same time. When he started coughing, he could not continue to steer the vehicle. He could only do an emergency brake. However, the military vehicle was advancing very quickly. The vehicles behind could not react in time and slammed into the vehicles in front. The vehicles carrying the fuel crashed under the impact, and then¡­ BOOM! It exploded. Then, like firecrackers all the cars were ignited and exploded. More than 500 soldiers who had just come out of the military camp had died from the virus before the explosion happened. The frenzied combustion of the fuel trucks after the explosion turned everyone¡¯s corpses into charcoal. The goshawk on the tree branch waited for the fire to subside. Its eyes were extremely sharp, as if it had intelligence. It kept staring at the exploding convoy. After the fire was extinguished, it spread its wings. Its huge body with a wingspan of about one meter flew down and landed beside the convoy. In front of him was Nistan¡¯s charred body. The goshawk pecked at Nistan¡¯s corpse curiously and began to tear it apart as if it found it tasty. ¡­ Meanwhile, Dai Liming had rushed straight to Academician Lin Qu¡¯s door. ¡°Director Dai, why are you here?¡± The smile on Academician Lin Qu¡¯s face disappeared and he became vigilant when he saw Dai Liming. Dai Liming was very interested in the Great Buckthorn fruit! Academician Lin Qu did not like Dai Liming just because of this point alone. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Li Chengqian asked me to look for you.¡± Dai Liming looked at Academician Lin Qu¡¯s expression and quickly said. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to ask him about the Great Buckthorn fruit? Li Chengqian has already told me the effect of the Great Buckthorn fruit!¡± When Academician Lin Qu heard the name ¡®Great Buckthorn fruit¡¯, he frowned and opened the door. He had been blocking Dai Liming from entering earlier. ¡°Come in!¡± Dai Liming was overjoyed and quickly followed him in. When he entered Academician Lin Qu¡¯s house, a special hot and spicy aroma filled the air. It was a very special aroma that made people want to have a taste. Dai Liming sniffed and looked around the living room several times, but he did not find the Great Buckthorn fruit. He couldn¡¯t help but feel disappointed. ¡°Tell me, why did Li Chengqian ask you to come?¡± ¡°Academician Lin Qu, Li Chengqian told me that the Great Buckthorn fruit can quickly restore a person¡¯s stamina, and it¡¯s especially effective on older people. When I asked him how good the effect was, he asked me to try your fruit, so I came over,¡± Dai Liming said with a smile. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, you know that the people in the Divine Dragon Hall are overworked every day!¡± ¡°If this Great Buckthorn fruit is really that amazing¡­ Send it to the leaders of the Divine Dragon Hall. It will be beneficial to the entire country.¡± Dai Liming¡¯s face suddenly became serious. Academician Lin Qu felt the pinch when he heard what Dai Liming said. If Dai Liming came to him to ask for the Great Buckthorn fruit for himself, he could have refused. However, Dai Liming had mentioned the leaders of the Divine Dragon Hall. It would be inappropriate not to give it to him. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, don¡¯t worry, I am not asking for much. Just give me 10 fruits this time!¡± ¡°We need to test the specific ingredients in the Great Buckthorn fruit.¡± ¡°At the same time, we need to do a taste test. We will only let the leaders of the Divine Dragon Hall eat the Great Buckthorn fruit after ensuring that it was absolute safety.¡± When Academician Lin Qu heard about ¡®ten fruits¡¯, he trembled and his heart ached. When he heard Dai Liming say that it was only for experiments, his eyes widened. Ten Great Buckthorn fruits would be taken from him just for experiment. If they really started eating, what would happen? He was afraid that they would take all the Great Buckthorn fruits he had in one go! What was he going to eat then? Chapter 290 - 290 Shocking Effect 290 Shocking Effect ¡°No, no! You¡¯re asking for too much!¡± ¡°I can only give you one at most!¡± ¡°Take it or leave it.¡± ¡°Since Li Chengqian asked you to come here to take one for experimentation, I¡¯ll give you one.¡± ¡°If you want more, go to Tianyi City and get it from Li Chengqian yourself. I think he has at least a hundred acres of Great Buckthorn fruit trees. The orchard is filled with Great Buckthorn fruits,¡± Academician Lin Qu said firmly. ¡°Also, I¡¯ve eaten the Great Buckthorn fruit!¡± ¡°I ate one in Tianyi City. Then, when I returned to Dragon City from Tianyi City, I went to the Academy of Science to see you before coming back.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still energetic and feel very good! I¡¯m filled with strength. It¡¯s as if I¡¯ve returned to my 40s.¡± ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s no discomfort in my body.¡± ¡°Therefore, there¡¯s no need for experiments at all.¡± ¡°We can send it directly to the Divine Dragon Hall and let the leaders eat it directly!¡± Fellow Zeroqu told Dai Liming about his consumption of the Great Buckthorn fruit. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, how about this? I¡¯ll take 20 Great Buckthorn fruits from you first¡­ Wait, don¡¯t glare at me. I¡¯m not going to go too far. Listen to me first¡­¡± ¡°While we take the Great Buckthorn fruits from you, we will send people to Tianyi City to buy some Great Buckthorn fruits from Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°When the time comes, I¡¯ll pay you back double the amount of Great Buckthorn fruits I took from you.¡± When Dai Liming said that it was double the amount, Academician Lin Qu¡¯s expression finally improved a little. ¡°Ten fruits. At most, I¡¯ll give you ten fruits. There¡¯s definitely no more!¡± Academician Lin Qu thought about it and finally agreed to the condition of ten fruits. Based on his understanding of Dai Liming, if he didn¡¯t agree to his condition, he would pester him to no end. As for the payback? Academician Lin Qu chuckled! How many things had Dai Liming borrowed from him over the years? He would always promise to return, but once the thing was borrowed¡­ Academician Lin Qu won¡¯t hear a peep from him. ¡°Just return me ten fruits when the time comes! You don¡¯t have to pay me double.¡± Dai Liming took the Great Buckthorn fruits with a smile. The hot and spicy aroma was like the warmth of the sun¡¯s rays on one¡¯s body. That special fragrance whetted one¡¯s appetite. ¡°Thank you, Academician Lin Qu. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll keep my word. When our people go to Li Chengqian¡¯s place in Tianyi City and obtain a large number of Great Buckthorn fruits, I¡¯ll definitely repay you double!¡± ¡°Academician Lin Qu, before I came here, I¡¯d already arranged for someone to go to Tianyi City. They¡¯ll be back tomorrow at the latest.¡± ¡°Ten Great Buckthorn fruits are too little. Give me twenty.¡± ¡°When our people come back, I¡¯ll return them to you tomorrow!¡± Dai Liming still wanted to get more samples from Academician Lin Qu. Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed out of the door by Academician Lin Qu. Then, he quickly closed the door of his house. It was as if he was dealing with a plague. ¡°Hey¡­ Academician Lin Qu, what are you doing? Don¡¯t you welcome me? Why did you push me out?¡± Dai Liming said loudly on purpose with a smile. Academician Lin Qu ignored him, but Dai Liming didn¡¯t care. He smiled and carefully tied up the bag before walking out. ¡°This smell is really hard to resist!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian said that the restoration effect is very good. Academician Lin Qu said the same thing. Let me try and see how good the effect is.¡± Dai Liming took out a big yellow succulent Great Buckthorn fruit from the bag. The hot and spicy aroma assaulted Dai Liming¡¯s face. How could he resist the stimulation of the aroma? He took a bite. It was like the sun exploding in his mouth. It was an indescribable taste, so unique and delicious. ¡°It¡¯s f*cking delicious!¡± Dai Liming ate the remaining Great Buckthorn fruit in two bites. He looked at the other Great Buckthorn fruits in the bag and wanted to eat more. However, after thinking of Academician Lin Qu¡¯s warning, he forcefully suppressed the thought. At this moment, a warmth spread from his stomach to his body. The fatigue in his originally tired body was instantly swept away. His entire being was instantly refreshed. He felt as if he had woken in the morning from a good sleep and was refreshed. ¡°Gasp, this effect is too strong!¡± Dai Liming exclaimed. ¡°No wonder Li Chengqian didn¡¯t explain the restoration effect. No wonder he asked me to eat one personally to give it a try. If I hadn¡¯t eaten it personally and felt this effect¡­ I wouldn¡¯t believe anyone who described it to me.¡± ¡°From what Academician Lin Qu said just now, the effect of a fruit can last for a day and a night¡­¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t not sleep at night!¡± ¡°Let me take the Great Buckthorn fruit to the medical doctors for analysis first. Then, I¡¯ll ask Academician Lin Qu and Li Chengqian if it will affect their sleep.¡± Dai Liming thought of more things after the initial shock. ¡°Now, there are only nine Great Buckthorn fruits left. I have to take one to the lab for testing. There are a total of eight left, just enough for the leaders of the Divine Dragon Hall for one round!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s test it first and confirm that there¡¯s nothing wrong with the Great Buckthorn fruit. Then, we¡¯ll talk to Li Chengqian and ask if it will affect his sleep.¡± ¡°As long as there are no problems with these, I will immediately send the Great Buckthorn fruit to the Divine Dragon Hall.¡± ¡°Qian Fumin must have already reported his thoughts to the leaders!¡± ¡°Let him report first.¡± ¡°After I¡¯ve tested it, I¡¯ll bring the Great Buckthorn fruit in. No matter how much he says, it won¡¯t be as powerful as the fruit.¡± Dai Liming had just felt the power of the fruit. It was a power that would shock anyone. ¡°At that time, as long as we tell the leaders that the Great Buckthorn fruit was planted in Li Chengqian¡¯s farm, their opinion of Li Chengqian will definitely increase to another level.¡± ¡°With Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion, the leaders will be more careful in their decisions.¡± ¡°Damn it, Qian Fumin is crazy to want political achievements!¡± ¡°Although Sunset has already released a hydrogen bomb, there¡¯s no evidence to show that this terrifying virus that had suddenly appeared has been eliminated¡­¡± ¡°If this virus was still in Sunset, once the port is opened and the virus comes in, 99.9% of people will be killed by his radicalism.¡± ¡°I have to hurry so that Qian Fumin won¡¯t cause big trouble.¡± At the thought of this, Dai Liming said to the driver, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Divine Dragon Hall¡¯s Health Department. Drive faster.¡± Chapter 291 - 291 Meeting 291 Meeting Wu You, a doctor at the Divine Dragon Hall, had completed the tests and tried a Great Buckthorn fruit. Accompanied by Wu You, Dai Liming carried the remaining eight Great Buckthorn fruits and walked towards the Divine Dragon Hall. ¡°Really, it¡¯s too amazing! I really didn¡¯t expect there to be such a divine thing in this world.¡± Wu You¡¯s eyes were fixed on the bag in Dai Liming¡¯s hand, his eyes filled with desire. Wu You was already 65 years old. Although he had taken good care of himself, he couldn¡¯t fight time. His hair had already completely turned white. He had issues with his cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation. Also, he tended to get tired. Under normal circumstances, as long as he didn¡¯t take an afternoon nap, he would be drowsy in the afternoon. His vision would be blurry and he wouldn¡¯t be able to see clearly. He would also have dizzy spells and he wouldn¡¯t be able to work properly. He happened to have missed his afternoon nap today. He was originally dizzy, but after eating a Great Buckthorn fruit from Dai Liming, the fatigue in his body disappeared. He felt fresh and energized, like he had just woken up. The symptoms of the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae disappeared in an instant, and he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort at all. His vision issues were also instantly resolved. He didn¡¯t feel dizzy anymore. After eating the fruit, he felt as if he had become 30 years younger, like he was back in his 20s or 30s. In addition to the effects that could be said, there were also some effects that could not be told to outsiders. He originally had an issue with frequent urination. After eating a Great Buckthorn fruit, he just had to go to the toilet once, and that¡¯s it! After personally experiencing the effects of the Great Buckthorn fruit, Wu You was stunned. In order to confirm that the Great Buckthorn fruit didn¡¯t contain any harmful ingredients, Wu You carried out an extremely detailed examination of it. After testing, it was discovered. The nutritional content of the Great Buckthorn fruit was extremely good. It did not contain any prohibited substances. No harmful substances were detected. ¡°Director Dai, where exactly did you find this fruit?¡± Wu You couldn¡¯t help but ask again, his eyes filled with desire. ¡°Alright, are you selling this fruit? What¡¯s the price?¡± Dai Liming smiled and held the Great Buckthorn fruit tightly in his hands as if it was a supreme treasure. ¡°Doctor Wu, we should make a move soon.¡± ¡°The leaders are overworked every day. These Great Buckthorn fruits are most suitable for them.¡± When he heard this, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in Wu You¡¯s eyes. After Dai Liming offered the Great Buckthorn fruit with such a good effect to the leaders, he would definitely be remembered by and valued by them. The two of them had just reached the entrance of the Divine Dragon Hall when a beaming Qian Fumin walked out. When he saw Dai Liming, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. Although Dai Liming¡¯s rank was the same as his, their departments were different, so their authorities were naturally different. The department he was in was a department with real power, and it was also a department that dealt with money. As long as there was no major infectious disease, Dai Liming¡¯s department was basically a retirement department. It basically did not have much real power, so all along, Qian Fumin didn¡¯t think much of Dai Liming. During the previous exchange, Dai Liming had a different opinion on whether to open up the country. He was already dissatisfied with Dai Liming because of this. In addition, he had just reported his thoughts to the leaders. The leaders had already agreed preliminarily with his idea of opening the country¡¯s entrances and ports. Therefore, at this moment, Qian Fumin was beaming and he looked smug. When he saw Dai Liming and Wu You walking over, Qian Fumin¡¯s eyes darted around and he deliberately walked in front of Dai Liming. ¡°Director Dai, the leaders asked about you in the meeting just now. They kept asking why you weren¡¯t here yet.¡± ¡°They also said that they wanted to ask for your opinion before deciding whether to open the country¡¯s doors.¡± ¡°But you weren¡¯t there, so your deputy expressed his opinion instead.¡± ¡°Your deputy also agrees with my idea that it¡¯s enough to cut off all contact with Sunset, but you can¡¯t seal off economic exchanges with other countries.¡± ¡°The leaders also support my idea. They have already made a preliminary decision to open the country.¡± After saying that, Qian Fumin walked out with his hands behind his back and a smug smile on his face. ¡°This person is too smug. He¡¯ll be in trouble.¡± Wu You had been the Divine Dragon Hall¡¯s health doctor for 20 years and had seen many smug, young elites. They usually don¡¯t do well in the end. ¡°Let¡¯s go and do our thing.¡± The smile on Dai Liming¡¯s face didn¡¯t change at all. He didn¡¯t express any opinions about Qian Fumin¡¯s arrogance. ¡­ The leaders didn¡¯t leave the venue as there were other meetings scheduled. During the short rest intervals, the few of them looked tired and leaned in their chairs to rest. Li Jiong, the leader for logistics, and Wang Kui, the leader of the military, were chatting. Wang Kui sighed with a tired expression. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore, I can¡¯t take it anymore! When I was young, I could march for a day and night without feeling tired.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a meeting right now and I¡¯m already feeling very tired.¡± ¡°I¡¯m old. I really can¡¯t do it anymore.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time for us old folks to retire.¡± ¡°Go back to our hometown and spend time with our children and grandchildren. Do some gardening and raise two pigs. Do what an old man should do.¡± Li Jiong rubbed his temples. His eyes were filled with yearning for retirement. ¡°Old Wang, you want to retire? Dream on.¡± ¡°I want to retire too.¡± ¡°There isn¡¯t an elder here who doesn¡¯t want to retire.¡± ¡°But can I retire now?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve worked hard for so many years. Now, we¡¯ve reached the critical stage of surpassing Sunset. Can you be so assured to hand over the work in your hands to others?¡± ¡°The world situation is getting more and more tense. Can you rest assured?¡± ¡°Furthermore, there was a terrifying asphyxiation virus breakout in Sunset.¡± ¡°This is the calm before the storm.¡± When the others heard Wang Kui¡¯s words, they smiled and shook their heads. Everyone present wanted to retire and return to their hometown to enjoy a normal life. There would be no problem doing this if the world was peaceful. But now, the world isn¡¯t peaceful at all. If they were not careful, a war could break out! ¡°Everyone has worked hard during this period of time¡­ How about this? After the problem of the asphyxiation virus is resolved, everyone will take a week off.¡± Elder Lin Tian said with a gentle smile. Elder Lin Tian¡¯s face was filled with unconcealable fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot. ¡°There are still five minutes before the meeting begins. Everyone, get up and have a chat.¡± Elder Lin Tian looked at his watch. At this moment, Dai Liming and Wu You entered the meeting room under the lead of the guards. ¡°Xiaodai, what happened to you earlier? Why didn¡¯t you come to the meeting?¡± The leader in charge of Health, Zai Sijie, asked with a frown. In an instant, the originally gentle atmosphere became oppressive. All eyes were on Dai Liming. This aura of absolute superiority gave off an extremely powerful pressure. Dai Liming hurriedly explained, ¡°Leader Tian, Leader Si, everyone, this is my fault. I apologize!¡± ¡°This is what happened. I discovered a very special fruit today. After eating it, you can quickly recover from your fatigue.¡± ¡°After I tried one, the effect was very shocking. It instantly boosted my stamina¡­¡± Dai Liming opened the sealed bag as he spoke. Instantly, a hot and spicy aroma filled the meeting room. Just smelling this aroma made one¡¯s spirit soar. Chapter 292 - 292 Eat, Shock 292 Eat, Shock ¡°This aroma is so special¡­¡± The logistics leader, Li Jiong, sniffed. He was a foodie and had tasted all kinds of food. There were very few things in this world that he had not eaten. However, this was the first time he had smelled such a special aroma. ¡°I wonder how it tastes?¡± Li Jiong¡¯s gaze landed on the Great Buckthorn fruits that Dai Liming took out. They were like yellow jade. He couldn¡¯t stop salivating, and the foodie in him suddenly acted up. ¡°Because the effect is very good, I thought of how the leaders are usually very busy with work and are very tired every day. If there are no side effects, this fruit will be very useful to the leaders.¡± ¡°In order to confirm the effect and safety of the Great Buckthorn fruit, I have asked Doctor Wu You to conduct a comprehensive examination of the composition of the fruit¡­¡± ¡°After examination, we found that the composition of the Great Buckthorn fruit is very safe!¡± ¡°After confirming the safety of the Great Buckthorn fruit, we immediately sent the Great Buckthorn fruits over for the leaders to taste and to recover their stamina.¡± Dai Liming opened the bag, revealing eight yellow jade-like Great Buckthorn fruits. ¡°How thoughtful of you!¡± The displeasure in leader Si¡¯s eyes disappeared because of Dai Liming¡¯s explanation, but he still chided him with a fierce expression. ¡°However, I still have to criticize you. Compared to personal matters, work is the most important. You can¡¯t put aside your work for personal reasons.¡± ¡°I will let it go this time. There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± ¡°Leader Tian, what do you think?¡± After Leader Si finished speaking, he turned and smiled at Lin Tian. ¡°You¡¯re clearly afraid that I¡¯ll punish Xiaodai, so you deliberately scolded him in front of me. Do you think I don¡¯t know? Forget it, you¡¯ve already said it. How can I disagree? That¡¯s all. However, there won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Leader Tian said with a smile, but his last sentence was extremely harsh. ¡°Thank you, Leader Tian and Leader Si!¡± Dai Liming heaved a sigh of relief and said to Wu You, ¡°Doctor Wu You, please explain the effects of the Great Buckthorn fruit to the leaders.¡± Wu You¡¯s expression turned solemn as he updated everyone on the situation. ¡°Leaders, this Great Buckthorn fruit is a simply divine fruit!¡± ¡°After eating it, you will recover from your fatigue and become energetic within seconds.¡± ¡°It can alleviate various illnesses.¡± ¡°As you all know, I have very serious cervical spondylosis. The disc between my lumbar vertebrae is protruded, and it¡¯s very painful. The pain is gone after I ate the Great Buckthorn fruit! My body suddenly became flexible, and I feel like I¡¯ve returned to my youth.¡± Wu You deliberately turned his neck from left to right and shook his waist, doing something that he would never usually do. Leader Tian knew Wu You¡¯s situation the best. After seeing Wu You¡¯s actions, he was immediately interested. Leader Tian also had serious cervical and lumbar vertebrae, as well as shoulder vertebrae issues. He had been tortured by the pain. Occasionally, when he was free, he would discuss these issues with Wu You. ¡°Furthermore, after eating this Great Buckthorn fruit, my eyesight is no longer blurry. I can see very clearly now!¡± ¡°The dizziness problem was solved in an instant. Before I ate it, I was already starting to feel dizzy. After eating it, the dizziness completely disappeared.¡± After hearing Wu You¡¯s description, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. Many people had the same health issues as Wu You, but they were not as serious as Wu You¡¯s. Since Wu You could solve these problems by eating the Great Buckthorn fruit, they could also do the same. After hesitating for a moment, Wu You continued, ¡°Also, my kidney isn¡¯t very good. I also have a prostate enlargement problem. When I go to the toilet, it¡¯s very slow and painful. I urinate in drips.¡± ¡°My urination is the smoothest it has ever been in the last ten years after I ate the Great Buckthorn fruit.¡± ¡°It¡¯s smooth and comfortable.¡± After hearing Wu You¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. Most men had this problem like Wu You, and the others present were no exception. They were also tortured by this condition. In order to go to the toilet less, many people rationed their intake of water. ¡°To ensure the safety of the Great Buckthorn fruit, I conducted a full process test on it.¡± ¡°The tests concluded that the Great Buckthorn Fruit is extremely nutritious and does not contain any harmful substances!¡± ¡°It¡¯s very safe! It¡¯s edible.¡± Wu You told everyone everything about the tests on the Great Buckthorn fruit in one go. ¡°Is it really that amazing? Why do you guys make this Great Buckthorn fruit sound like an immortal fruit? Let me give it a try.¡± Leader Si picked up a Great Buckthorn Fruit skeptically and took a bite. Immediately, a special hot and spicy feeling, like the sun¡¯s rays shining on his body, was released from his mouth. It had a very special taste and was extremely delicious. ¡°Delicious!¡± Leader Si¡¯s eyes lit up. Regardless of whether this Great Buckthorn fruit had other effects, it was indeed very delicious. He chewed slowly and continuously, wanting to keep the taste in his mouth for a while longer. However, the Great Buckthorn fruit was only the size of a plum. It was gone after one bite. After swallowing the fruit and the dregs, a warm feeling began to spread from his stomach. A few seconds later, he felt his entire body become warm. It was as if he was soaking in hot water. He felt very comfortable. His originally exhausted body seemed to have been instantly injected with a large amount of energy and instantly recovered his abundant stamina. Leader Si also had a severe lumbar disc protrusion issue due to his frequent meetings. His back felt very uncomfortable. After eating this Great Buckthorn fruit, he felt very comfortable. All the illness and pain in his body were dispelled by the warm feeling. An unprecedented relaxed feeling made Leader Si feel extremely comfortable. He began to turn his back and realized that it no longer hurt. He turned his neck. Originally, his neck would hurt with a slight turn, but he now didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all. Leader Si felt that his body was filled with strength, as if he had gone back to his 30s or 40s. He was filled with vitality. ¡°This is unbelievable¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually true!¡± Leader Si¡¯s eyes were filled with extreme shock. ¡°How can this fruit have such a powerful effect?¡± Leader Si spoke as he reached out for the Great Buckthorn fruit. Everyone was stunned when they saw the changes in Leader Si after he ate the fruit. Leader Si was originally fatigued and listless because he was too exhausted. After eating a Great Buckthorn fruit, his face instantly glowed and he became energetic. Everyone was carefully observing when Leader Si swayed his back and turned his neck. Looking at Leader Si¡¯s shocked and happy expression, everyone understood what was going on. How could they let Leader Si take an extra Great Buckthorn fruit? ¡°Leader Si, what are you doing?¡± ¡°That¡¯s for us. You can¡¯t eat more than your share.¡± ¡°Hey, Leader Si, I haven¡¯t noticed that you¡¯re quite greedy.¡± The other leaders stood up one after another and nervously took a Great Buckthorn fruit. There was one for each of them. ¡°Leader Si, the effect of this Great Buckthorn fruit can last for a day and a night. Because the effect is too good, you can only eat one fruit a day. You can¡¯t eat too much,¡± Dai Liming hurriedly explained. Chapter 293 - 293 Li Chengqians Opinion Needs to Be Valued 293 Li Chengqian¡¯s Opinion Needs to Be Valued Seeing how energetic Leader Si after eating it, the others didn¡¯t hesitate and ate the Great Buckthorn fruit. Instantly, everyone felt the hot and spicy taste. The delicious taste erupted in their mouths, and everyone¡¯s eyes revealed enjoyment. After they swallowed the Great Buckthorn fruit, the warm feeling swept away their fatigue and their stamina was instantly restored. As their stamina was restored, all the pain and discomfort in their bodies were dispelled. Everyone felt that they had returned to their youthful state. This state fascinated everyone and made them feel comfortable. Then, everyone looked at Dai Liming differently. ¡°Wait, Xiaodai, did you just say that the effect of this Great Buckthorn fruit can only last for a day and a night?¡± Suddenly, Leader Si thought of what Dai Liming had said and asked anxiously. To be transformed instantly from an old and feeble state to a young and strong state, although it was only a few minutes, once they have experienced this, no one wants to return to an old state anymore. As Leader Si asked this question, the others also thought of the same question. All eyes were on Dai Liming again. After regaining the feeling of youth, no one liked the feeling of old age. They wanted to maintain their current state. As for the Great Buckthorn fruits that Dai Liming brought, each of them took one. The fruits were all taken. Moreover, Dai Liming had also said that the effects of the Great Buckthorn fruit was limited to one day and one night. This made everyone nervous. ¡°Yes!¡± Dai Liming confirmed this by nodding without hesitation. The leaders were very good at controlling their emotions, but after hearing this news, everyone felt disappointed. ¡°Do you still have any more Great Buckthorn fruits?¡± Leader Si suppressed the disappointment in his heart and asked anxiously. The others also looked at Dai Liming. Although they tried their best to appear calm, there was anxiety in their eyes. It felt too good to be young again. No one wanted to go back to the past. They wanted to maintain the current situation. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°This Great Buckthorn fruit was discovered by Li Chengqian.¡± ¡°I heard from Academician Lin Qu that there are still many Great Buckthorn fruits in Li Chengqian¡¯s automated farm.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already arranged for people to go to Tianyi City, where Li Chengqian is, to do a bulk purchase of the Great Buckthorn fruits,¡± Dai Liming said honestly. ¡°Li Chengqian? Li Chengqian from the Divine Dragon Software Company?¡± Lin Tianzhi¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°Yes, Leader Tian! It¡¯s Li Chengqian from the Divine Dragon Software Company!¡± Dai Liming replied affirmatively. ¡°Li Chengqian was also the first to discover the asphyxiation virus that erupted in Sunset.¡± ¡°I spoke to Li Chengqian on the phone. On the topic of virus control, Li Chengqian even gave suggestions¡­¡± Dai Liming used this topic to continue. ¡°Oh, what did he say?¡± Leader Tian was intrigued. If it was someone else¡¯s suggestion, Leader Tian might not listen. But the person who suggested this was Li Chengqian. Especially after he had just eaten the magical fruits planted by Li Chengqian, he took Li Chengqian¡¯s suggestion more seriously. ¡°Li Chengqian suggests that we close the country¡¯s gates!¡± ¡°No one or anything is allowed to come in from outside.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s from Sunset, or someone from another country, or a commodity, or anything else, they can¡¯t be allowed in.¡± ¡°Kill anyone who approaches the border! And burn them with flamethrowers to prevent the virus from being brought in.¡± ¡°If there are no more virus infections within half a year, this control measure can be lifted.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian said that while economic development is naturally important, survival is more important.¡± Dai Liming said everything Li Chengqian said in one breath. After Leader Tian heard this, he pondered for a while and looked at Leader Si. ¡°Leader Si, what do you think?¡± ¡°I agree with Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion! You can earn money at any time. Once your life is gone, it doesn¡¯t matter how much money you have. Although economic development is important, the most important thing is still to protect your life. I completely agree with this point of view.¡± Leader Si spoke directly. In the previous meeting, he also didn¡¯t agree with Qian Fumin¡¯s opinion. However, his suggestion was not accepted. ¡°Since it¡¯s Li Chengqian¡¯s suggestion, it should be taken seriously. I suggest not to open the port for the time being and observe for a month.¡± Wang Kui originally agreed with Qian Fumin¡¯s thoughts very much, but he had changed his mind. Because Li Chengqian was the first to discover the outbreak of the asphyxiation virus, all the videos were also provided by Li Chengqian. Moreover, Li Chengqian had even planted such a divine Great Buckthorn fruit. The suggestion he gave was definitely not baseless. There must be some basis. He had to be taken seriously. The other leaders also expressed their opinions one after another. Everyone felt that since Li Chengqian could plant the magical Great Buckthorn fruit and be the first to discover the outbreak of the virus, his words had to be taken seriously. ¡°Huang Qiang, inform Qian Fumin not to be anxious. Let¡¯s wait for a month. If there are no more virus infections in the world in a month, we¡¯ll study how to open the ports,¡± Lin Tian instructed the secretary who had been taking notes. ¡°Alright, Leader Tian. I¡¯ll inform Qian Fumin immediately after the meeting!¡± Huang Qiang hurriedly agreed. ¡°Cancel the next meeting too. Make the necessary arrangements. After you¡¯re done, inform Qian Fumin directly and tell him not to be anxious. Wait.¡± Leader Lin Tian¡¯s tone was authoritative. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Tian turned to look at Dai Liming. ¡°Xiaodai, I heard you say just now that the Great Buckthorn fruits you brought over were borrowed from Lin Qu?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Alright, I understand!¡± Lin Tian didn¡¯t say anything else. Looking at the energetic expressions of the other leaders, he smiled and said, ¡°Us old people have benefited from Xiaodai. We are feeling very good after eating the Great Buckthorn fruit.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s quite late today.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all for today.¡± ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s call it a day.¡± After everyone left, Lin Tian said to Huang Qiang, who was waiting at the side, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t make a fuss. Let¡¯s quietly find Lin Qu and have a chat.¡± ¡°To think that we were classmates! We¡¯ve been classmates for so many years, from primary school to university, and he actually doesn¡¯t care about friendship at all.¡± ¡°He obtained a divine item like the Great Buckthorn fruit and actually enjoyed it alone without telling me.¡± ¡°I have to go tell him off.¡± ¡°I heard what Xiaodai said. Lin Qu still has a lot of Great Buckthorn fruits. This time, I¡¯m going to make him bleed.¡± Lin Tian scolded jokingly. In fact, only he alone knew what he was actually thinking. ¡°Alright!¡± Chapter 294 - 294 Going Too Far 294 Going Too Far Qian Fumin was chairing a meeting. He was in high spirits and urgently giving out instructions for the port to be opened. Just as Qian Fumin was speaking and expressing his opinions, his phone suddenly rang. When he realized that it was Huang Qiang, he didn¡¯t dare to be tardy. He quickly answered the phone. Hearing the instructions on the line, Qian Fumin¡¯s face fell. Huang Qiang didn¡¯t say much. He only expressed one thing, which was to get Qian Fumin to immediately stop arranging the opening of the ports. He also wanted to upgrade the measures for closing the ports. All trade and communication had to stop. Without the approval of the Leader Tian, no one was allowed to step into Divine Dragon Country. ¡°What? You¡¯re telling me not to do anything for the time being?¡± ¡°Secretary Huang, didn¡¯t we agree on the meeting just now? Didn¡¯t the Leaders agree with my idea?¡± ¡°Why did the leaders suddenly change their minds?¡± Qian Fumin¡¯s voice was filled with doubt, indignance, and suspicion. ¡°Secretary Huang, I¡¯ve already arranged for a meeting¡­¡± ¡°Director Qian, I¡¯m just in charge of informing you that the opinion of the Leaders is for you to stop your current work immediately. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can feedback to the Leaders.¡± Huang Qiang could hear the dissatisfaction in Qian Fumin¡¯s tone, so his tone suddenly became tough. However, Huang Qiang was someone who had been by the side of the Leaders for a long time. He was usually gentle, but he had his own temper. ¡°According to the opinion of the Leaders, you are to immediately stop work on the ports and commerce and wait for further notice from the Leaders.¡± Hearing Huang Qiang¡¯s unyielding tone and dissatisfaction in his words, Qian Fumin was shocked. Only then did he realize that his tone with Huang Qiang was a little rude. Qian Fumin turned around and walked out of the conference room. He hurriedly apologized, ¡°Secretary Huang, I¡¯m really sorry. My tone wasn¡¯t good just now. I was too agitated. I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll buy dinner tonight as an apology.¡± The arrogance in Qian Fumin¡¯s voice was completely gone. After Qian Fumin left the conference room, many people in the conference room had gloating smiles on their faces. ¡°You can¡¯t be too smug. Pride comes before a fall.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Our Director Qian is young and arrogant. He acts like he¡¯s a big shot¡­ But when he met Huang Qiang, he immediately became a coward.¡± ¡°Have you seen the scene of the Sunset asphyxiation virus outbreak? It¡¯s too terrifying! It can kill someone in five minutes. After they die, their bodies will turn into zombies. It¡¯s simply too terrifying.¡± ¡°For the sake of his political achievements, Qian Fumin actually wants to open up the port at this juncture. He claims to be thinking about the country, the economy, and employment. I think it¡¯s for himself and his political achievements.¡± ¡°¡­Alright, Secretary Huang. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely follow the instructions of the Leaders and immediately change my working plans. I won¡¯t let any foreign products enter the country,¡± Qian Fumin said through gritted teeth. ¡°No, absolutely not. Please report to the Leaders that I have no objections to the Leaders¡¯ instructions. I will carry out any decision made by the Leaders.¡± Qian Fumin became more and more upset. He hated Huang Qiang¡¯s threats to the core, but he didn¡¯t dare show any dissatisfaction. ¡°Director Qian, I hope you remember what you said today.¡± After Huang Qiang finished speaking, he hung up. Qian Fumin was visibly upset. ¡°Damn it, this is too much!¡± He threw the phone in his hand forcefully. The phone shattered with a crash. Qian Fumin was still angry. He then punched a wall. ¡°When I come to power one day, the first person I¡¯ll deal with will be a despicable person like you.¡± ¡°F*ck, he¡¯s just an inconspicuous secretary! How dare he boss me around?¡± ¡°You really think you¡¯re a somebody?¡± At this moment, the deputies who were originally in the meeting room walked out one after another. ¡°Why did you come out? Did I announce that the meeting is over? Who asked you to come out? Get lost!¡± Qian Fumin¡¯s anger rose again. The deputies were originally smiling, but after hearing Qian Fumin¡¯s scolding, their expressions turned ugly. All of them glared angrily at Qian Fumin. ¡°Director Qian, it¡¯s a notice from the Divine Dragon Hall. They want us to go immediately to the Divine Dragon Hall for a meeting.¡± ¡°If you have any dissatisfaction, if you want to show off, you can go to the Divine Dragon Hall to express it!¡± ¡°Director Qian, you are throwing your weight around.¡± ¡°Director Qian, I¡¯m taking note of your behavior today and reporting it to my superiors.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After saying that, under the lead of a veteran deputy, everyone quickly left. No one gave Qian Fumin face. To be able to reach their current position, they were not ordinary people. No one was afraid of Qian Fumin. Qian Fumin¡¯s face became even longer. His eyes were filled with extreme anger. After watching everyone leave, he gritted his teeth like a desperate beast. ¡°Damn it, just you wait¡­ When the time comes, you¡¯ll suffer!¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian had finally completed the manufacturing and testing of the first live virus collection robot. ¡°It¡¯s perfect!¡± Looking at the small virus collection robot in front of him, which was the size of a large coffin, Li Chengqian smiled. ¡°This uses graphene high-energy storage batteries. The battery life is 1,000 times that of the most advanced batteries in the world! It can support the high-intensity work of the virus collection robot for a day.¡± The battery installed on the virus collection robot this time was a technology that Li Chengqian bought from the Professions mall. It was a third generation graphene high-energy battery technology. Then, Li Chengqian used the skills of a Worker to quickly create it. ¡°There is the safest biological preservation device in the body of the virus collection robot. Even the asphyxiation virus wouldn¡¯t leak from the body of the virus collection robot.¡± ¡°On the surface of the virus-collecting robot, there are 1,345 small fire jets that can kill the virus on the robot¡¯s surface in all directions.¡± ¡°Next, it¡¯s the problem of how to release this robot into Sunset.¡± ¡°I need an unmanned aircraft with very good stealth effect and very long range flight ability, so that it can carry the virus collection robots to Sunset to collect the viruses.¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and realized that there was no aircraft in the world that could complete this mission. ¡°Looks like I can only rely on the strength of the Professions mall again.¡± The technologies in the Professions mall were almost all-encompassing and omnipotent. Anything could be found in the Professions mall. It was just a matter of whether one could afford it. ¡°Open the Professions mall!¡± ¡°Search for stealth aircraft technology!¡± ¡°Search for long-range flight technology!¡± ¡°Search for autopilot technology!¡± ¡°Search for onboard radar technology!¡± ¡°For all searches, the points required are limited to less than one million.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if it¡¯s a technology that can be produced directly in reality.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if these technologies don¡¯t require me to learn new knowledge.¡± After continuous exploration, Li Chengqian realized that the search ability of the Professions mall was very powerful. He could search for the most suitable technology through various parameter settings. Chapter 295 - 295 Electromagnetic Propulsion and Controller 295 Electromagnetic Propulsion and Controller [Electromagnetic propulsion control technology, 1 million experience value points. This technology includes the electromagnetic generator, the electromagnetic propulsion controller blueprint.] [Electromagnetic stealth technology, 1 million experience value points.] [Ultra long distance communication control technique, 1 million experience value points.] [Small planet magnetic plane blueprint, 1 million experience value points. The prerequisite technology is electromagnetic dynamics control technology.] In the end, four technologies were left in front of Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian opened the introduction of the small planet magnetic plane blueprint. [Small planet magnetic plane: Suitable for planets with magnetic forces. With the power of the planet¡¯s magnetic forces, it only needs a small amount of electricity to drive it. It consumes little energy, is extremely fast, and has a simple structure. It¡¯s a common plane used by advanced civilizations on the planet.] [The core power source of the small planet magnetic plane is the electromagnetic propulsion control technology.] The more Li Chengqian looked at it, the more he felt that this small planet magnetic plane was the most suitable for him. ¡°Buy it!¡± Looking at the experience value points that had gone back to hundreds of millions, Li Chengqian bought this technology without hesitation. [You have spent 2 million experience value points in the Professions mall. You have obtained the Electromagnetic propulsion control technology. You have obtained a small planet magnetic plane. You have 163 million experience value points left.] In the translucent notification, a huge amount of knowledge began to fuse into Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Electromagnetic propulsion control technology¡­ Electromagnetic generator blueprint¡­ This was the power core, just like a propulsion engine in a plane. Electromagnetic power and direction control¡­ This was the core of the control. It was the key to controlling the speed, altitude, and direction. It was the same as the rudder of a plane. Small planet magnetic plane blueprint¡­ A minute later, Li Chengqian had completely digested all the knowledge. His eyes lit up. ¡°Awesome, super awesome!¡± ¡°The electromagnetic propulsion control technology is at least a thousand years ahead of Earth¡¯s technology!¡± After obtaining all the knowledge in the technology, Li Chengqian was shocked by how powerful it was. ¡°When the electromagnetic generator is mass-produced, all the aircraft engine manufacturers in the world will go bankrupt.¡± The electromagnetic propulsion control technology that Li Chengqian had obtained only required an electromagnetic generator the size of a washbasin to produce about 30 tons of power. What does this mean? An electromagnetic generator the size of a washbasin could provide the power to fly a medium-sized fighter jet. The power provided was stronger than the original engine. ¡°The material needed to make the electromagnetic generator and controller is very common. It¡¯s a silver-iron compound. Although existing technology can¡¯t produce this special silver-iron alloy for the time being, I have mastered all the technologies. I can use the Worker skills to directly create the electromagnetic generator and controller.¡± Li Chengqian got the robot to move some raw materials out of the warehouse as he pondered the issue. Soon, the blueprints were transmitted. Li Chengqian instructed, ¡°Bai Ze, immediately control the production of the parts that can be produced by the small material processing factory in our factory.¡± ¡°For those parts that we can¡¯t produce ourselves, outsource the production immediately.¡± ¡°Stop the production of the first generation robots for the time being. We¡¯ll do our best to produce the blueprint of the small planet magnetic plane first.¡± ¡°Please order for 10 units.¡± During this period of time, more than 500 first-generation robots had been produced. The battery used was a graphite battery produced by new technology. It could be fully charged in 10 minutes. It could last for a day even if the first generation robot used it at full power. The production cost of graphite batteries was extremely low. The raw material was coal. A ton costs only 2000 yuan. The battery used by the robot was about 10 kilograms, which was equivalent to one ton of coal. One hundred batteries could be produced with one ton of coal. The only troublesome thing was that the technical requirements for production were extremely high, but this was not an issue for Li Chengqian at all, because he was not going to use a normal production process. In order to expedite matters, Li Chengqian used his Skill to quickly create it. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Production program transmitting¡­ Transmission complete!¡± ¡°The order for non-critical parts is being issued¡­ The order is complete!¡± ¡°Calculating¡­ Master, it will take three days to transport all the relevant parts of the small planet magnetic plane to the factory.¡± ¡°Deploying 100 robots. Production of 10 small planet magnetic planes can be completed in an hour.¡± ¡°En, not bad!¡± Li Chengqian nodded. Although there was a smile on his face, the seriousness in his eyes remained. The outbreak of the asphyxiation virus taught Li Chengqian something. Everything that happened in the game in his previous life might happen in reality. In the game, the asphyxiation virus was only a prelude to aliens. The spread of the asphyxiation virus could kill a person in a few minutes. Many animals didn¡¯t die after being infected with the asphyxiation virus. Instead, they mutated and evolved. Their intelligence would increase, and their stamina would improve. Their personality would become even more ferocious and bloodthirsty, especially when it came to humans. In his previous life, in the Master of All Professions game, 99% of humans died due to the spread of the asphyxiation virus. Only tens of millions of people were left in the world. Due to the rampage of the virus, arms could not be produced or replenished. Then, the evolved ferocious animals became the fatal killers of humans and treated humans as food. ¡°Right now, the most important thing is the vaccine! The importance of the vaccine surpasses everything.¡± ¡°Creator, these are the raw materials you need.¡± A No. 1 robot placed the relevant raw materials in front of Li Chengqian. Only then did Li Chengqian come back to his senses. He nodded and told the robot to leave. ¡°Skill! Expedited Processing! Make an electromagnetic generator and controller!¡± [You¡¯ve mastered all the technologies needed to create an electromagnetic generator and controller.] [The raw materials can be used to produce five electromagnetic generators and controllers.] [Making a single electromagnetic generator and controller consumes 100 Stamina Points.] [Do you want to proceed?] Li Chengqian glanced at his Stamina Stats, which had already reached 100,000 points, and smiled. Without any hesitation, he muttered in his heart, ¡°Make five electromagnetic generators and controllers.¡± [Consume 500 Stamina Points!] [Successfully created electromagnetic generator and controller.] The raw materials in front of Li Chengqian disappeared without any fanfare. Five silver-black electromagnetic generators and controllers with a diameter of about 50 centimeters appeared neatly in front of Li Chengqian. On the periphery of the electromagnetic generator and controller, there were two interfaces. One was the power interface, and the other was the crowd control interface. The power interface was used to power the electromagnetic generator and controller, and the control Interface was the data interface that controlled the electromagnetic generator and controller. When Li Chengqian turned to look at the ball, a translucent introduction immediately appeared above the electromagnetic generator and controller. [Electromagnetic generator and controller: Provides 30 tons of thrust. The thrust can be converted in all directions. It needs to be driven by 220V100A electricity.] [With a load of 5 tons, operating at full power for 40 seconds will allow the aircraft to reach supersonic speed.] [With a typical load of 10 tons, operating at full power for one minute will allow the aircraft to reach supersonic speed.] [With a maximum load of 25 tons, operating at full power for 10 minutes will allow the aircraft to reach supersonic speed.] [The electromagnetic generator and controller can be used online on multiple platforms to provide more powerful interplanetary propulsion!] Although he already knew about the electromagnetic generator and the controller¡¯s ability during the process of the knowledge transfer, Li Chengqian still couldn¡¯t help but salivate when he read the introduction again. ¡°Boeing and Airbus will all be finished in the future!¡± ¡°The engine of a heavy fighter jet costs 50 million yuan each!¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, the power is a few levels lower than the electromagnetic generator and controller. The electromagnetic generator and controller can last 100 times longer than normal engines.¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Chapter 296 - 296 Biological Research Center 296 Biological Research Center A piece of barren land that was 100 kilometers south of the small desert in Tianyi City was bought by Li Chengqian. At this moment, this place had already become a huge construction site. A large number of excavators, loaders, and concrete mixers were lined up. Then, under the engineers¡¯ command, a large amount of concrete was discharged. At this moment, the height of the building had already exceeded the ground. As the surface had not been processed, it could be seen that the underground building was very large, occupying about 3,000 square meters. ¡°Master, is this the construction site of the Divine Dragon Software Company? What are they building? Is it a military shelter? This is huge! I think there¡¯s at least 3,000 square meters underground.¡± A young man walked around the construction site and was so surprised that he was mouth agape. The building was underground, and the walls were more than a meter thick. It was made of special cement, which was extremely strong and airtight. It was also done especially quickly and could be formed and used within a few hours. This special cement was usually only used for military facilities such as shelters. ¡°No, I heard that the Divine Software Company wants to build a biological laboratory here. It seems to be for vaccines or something. The requirements are especially strict.¡± The old master told the little apprentice what he had heard. Then, the old master said proudly, ¡°You weren¡¯t here a few days ago, so you didn¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Underneath this is not the first floor, but the 34th floor.¡± ¡°The underground area is not 3,000 square meters either, but about 100,000 square meters.¡± ¡°What? 10,000 square meters?¡± The young man¡¯s eyes widened when he heard the news. ¡°Master, are you lying to me? The construction site of the Divine Dragon Software Company has only started for a few days.¡± ¡°How could they have made so much progress already?¡± ¡°Even if the construction equipment, steel bars and cement can be found from the market, we still need workers to build the structures and to work on the steel bars¡­¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have that many workers here at all!¡± Soon, the young man thought of a loophole and quickly retorted. ¡°Heh, you¡¯ll know when you see it!¡± The old master had a disdainful look on his face. Just as the old master was speaking, 300 worker robots appeared. These robots were modified based on the foundation of the first generation robots. They had all the tools needed for work on their mechanical arms. Instead of mechanical legs, they had wheels like vehicles, so they moved very quickly. ¡°Did you see that? The Divine Dragon Software Company does robot work. It¡¯s fast and good.¡± Looking at the stunned young man, the old master said proudly. Just as he spoke, the robots moved. Not only were there welding attachments and cutting tools on their mechanical arms, there were also tools for shaping steel bars. They had immense strength. The steel bars that were difficult for humans to bend were like noodles in their hands. They could easily bend them into any shape. In just 10 minutes, 3,000 square meters of steel bars were all completed and welded together with the steel bars extending from underground. ¡°F*ck¡­ This efficiency is amazing.¡± From the moment the robots appeared, the young man¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. His face was filled with shock. The efficiency of these robots was hundreds of times higher than that of humans! This was not the first time the old master had seen this scene, but he was still shocked by the efficiency and quality of the robots. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve been in the construction industry for more than 20 years. The quality of steel bars is not even as good as those done by the robots.¡± ¡°Furthermore, at this speed, one machine is comparable to the efficiency of hundreds of people. It¡¯s really too advanced!¡± Just as the old master was sighing, the prefabricated structures that had been prepared long ago were fixed around the pillars by the robots. Steel pipes were quickly installed on the ground and the structures were neatly installed. After 20 minutes, 3,000 square meters of structures had been installed. All the structures were as flat as a mirror. This level of uniformity was not humanly possible. Moreover, with such a large area, even if there were 1,000 skilled workers, it would take at least three days to insert the steel bars and structures. If the quality requirements were especially high, such as to the level of the robots, it might not even be possible in 10 days. ¡°Everyone, please line up the concrete mixers and discharge the concrete in positions marked by the robots!¡± Following the instructions of the on-site engineers and the guidance of the robots, the concrete mixers were lined up and concrete was discharged. A floor was formed at a visible speed. On a small hill not far from the construction site, there was a blue temporary house. This was the project department. Almost all the senior managers of the Divine Dragon Software Company were here at the project department. Zhao Na, who was in charge of the lithography machine production, Zhang Tianling, who was in charge of the business negotiation department, and Huang Ting, who was in charge of the subsequent development of the operating system. The heads of the finance department, engineering department, production department, secretarial department, and other departments all came over. The simple conference room of the project department was filled with people. ¡°Boss, according to the current progress, the first phase of our biological research center will be completed in three days!¡± The new CEO of the Divine Dragon Software Company, He Hongyan, updated Li Chengqian on the situation. He left Baidu and officially joined the Divine Dragon Software Company. ¡°The renovation of the 34th to 10th underground floors has been completed. All the equipment has been installed.¡± ¡°After the construction on the ground is completed tomorrow, the renovation and installation of the equipment on the other floors can be carried out immediately.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve taken extremely strict measures on each level. Each level is relatively isolated¡­¡± ¡°So even if we need to use it now, there¡¯s no problem.¡± Li Chengqian pointed at a model of the project department. ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve made the strictest prevention and control measures for the virus port, as you have specially instructed. This port is only connected to the 34th floor. We¡¯ve asked an expert to review it. There¡¯s no risk of leakage.¡± He Hongyan pointed to a small hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters on the top layer. This small hole was the inlet for the virus that Li Chengqian had specially set aside. Li Chengqian nodded. ¡°President He, we must complete the construction of the biological research center within the specified time.¡± ¡°This is very crucial to us!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more important than the Divine Dragon System!¡± ¡°We can put aside anything else, but we can¡¯t delay this matter at all.¡± ¡°President He, it¡¯s been hard on you during this period of time.¡± Li Chengqian was very satisfied with He Hongyan¡¯s progress. ¡°Boss, I actually have a question. The Divine Dragon Software Company doesn¡¯t have any biological technology or related companies. Why would we spend so much money to build such a huge biological research center?¡± He Hongyan wasn¡¯t the only one with this question. The other senior managers of the Company also had this question. Li Chengqian had already spent 30 billion yuan in order to expedite the construction of the biological research center. This is excluding the construction robots he provided. The amount invested was astronomical. If he used this 30 billion yuan to invest in the real estate market, based on the extreme efficiency and quality of the robots, he would be able to bring in at least 60 billion yuan in revenue to the Divine Dragon Software Company in a year. If the 30 billion yuan was invested in the financial markets, it could also bring back 30 billion yuan as long as it was handled well. x As for the biological research center, it was like a bottomless pit¡­ There were no benefits at all. If not for the fact that the operating system of the Divine Dragon Software Company had already occupied the world market, such a huge sum of money could bankrupt the Divine Dragon Software Company. He Hongyan was very puzzled by this. ¡°Mr. He, you¡¯ll find out soon enough.¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t answer He Hongyan¡¯s question. ¡°Speed up the construction! I have great use for the biological research center.¡± Chapter 297 - 297 Electromagnetic Flying Device 297 Electromagnetic Flying Device In the public square outside the project department, He Hongyan led a large group of people to walk Li Chengqian out. Because this place was relatively high, he could see the concrete mixers at the foot of the mountain. He Hongyan glanced at the road and realized that the road was completely occupied by the concrete mixers. He smiled and said to Li Chengqian. ¡°Boss, the road back is blocked by the concrete mixers now. You can¡¯t go back even if you want to.¡± ¡°It¡¯s almost time for dinner. Most of these vehicles will leave after dinner.¡± The others looked at the endless line of vehicles and said one after another, ¡°That¡¯s right, Boss. Even if you set off now, you¡¯ll be blocked on the road.¡± Li Chengqian shook his head and said, ¡°I won¡¯t have dinner! You must help me expedite the construction of the biological research center. This is more important than anything else.¡± ¡°Traffic jam? No way.¡± ¡°In the future, there won¡¯t be a traffic jam at the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°Everyone, watch carefully.¡± Li Chengqian entered the car under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes. After the car was powered up, a pegasus with white wings appeared on the central control screen. ¡°Master, the Pegasus is at your service.¡± ¡°Pegasus, activate flight mode! Let the Pegasus hover 50 centimeters above ground,¡± Li Chengqian ordered. ¡°Initiating flight mode. Flight mode activated successfully. The Pegasus is suspended at 50 centimeters.¡± ¡°Master, please enter your destination¡­¡± ¡°Destination: Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s small dessert factory district.¡± ¡°Do you want to leave immediately?¡± ¡°Stay afloat and await my orders!¡± The car floated very steadily at a height of 50 centimeters above ground. As for He Hongyan and the others, they looked at the car floating in front of them in shock. They looked like they had seen a ghost and were filled with disbelief. ¡°What kind of out-of-this-world technology is this?¡± ¡°Oh my god, the boss¡¯s car is flying.¡± ¡°Flying car, this is a flying car!¡± He Hongyan¡¯s eyes were shining as he looked at the small car floating in the air. His eyes were filled with desire. For rich people, luxury cars were a must. It was their pride. But¡­ all the luxury cars in the world combined were not as impressive and awesome as the flying car Li Chengqian was riding. In the face of the flying car, the luxury cars of the rich were nothing more than horse carriages of the old era. Not only was the flying car impressive and awesome, if they could be mass-produced, they would change people¡¯s lifestyle. This is a great product that transcends the times. ¡°Boss, have you succeeded in developing the flying car?¡± He Hongyan said excitedly. ¡°Boss, can this flying car be mass-produced? How much is one? Can you sell one to me?¡± ¡°Did you get a flight permit for this car?¡± Li Chengqian listened to He Hongyan¡¯s questions. ¡°The flying car can¡¯t be mass-produced for the time being. There¡¯s only one for the time being. We naturally don¡¯t have a flight permit.¡± Seeing the disappointed expression on He Hongyan¡¯s face, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°If it¡¯s mass-produced in the future, I¡¯ll give you one.¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, the disappointment on He Hongyan¡¯s face was swept away. He was motivated. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely work hard.¡± He Hongyan looked at the small car floating in the air and his heart itched. His eyes were filled with desire. He also wanted to try flying cars. He looked at Li Chengqian with a smile. He was embarrassed like a young girl. ¡°Boss, I happen to have something to do at the company. Do you think I can¡­¡± He Hongyan¡¯s fawning expression gave Li Chengqian goosebumps all over his body. He shivered. ¡°Come up! Don¡¯t disgust me.¡± ¡°Boss, there¡¯s something going on at the photolithography factory. I¡¯m also in a hurry to go back. Please give me a lift back.¡± When the car floated up, Zhao Na¡¯s eyes lit up. When she heard Li Chengqian agree to He Hongyan¡¯s request, Zhao Na¡¯s eyes turned and she ran directly to the door of the flying car, looking at Li Chengqian with a yearning expression. ¡°Boss, I need to purchase some equipment and raw materials for the biological research center. The suppliers have already been waiting at the company the whole afternoon. Please take me back.¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s beautiful face was beaming. She was very fast and came to the side. Her eyes were filled with eagerness and interest. ¡°Alright, who else needs to go back? Come on up.¡± ¡°But let me say this first. The flying car is an experimental product. Without a flight permit, safety can¡¯t be guaranteed. If anything goes wrong, don¡¯t blame me.¡± ¡°Heh, you are not afraid as a person who is worth trillions. What should I be afraid of?¡± He Hongyan opened the door of the passenger seat and carefully and tentatively stepped in. He was originally worried that his actions would cause the flying car to lose its balance. In fact, he felt that the flying car was very stable, even more stable than when it was parked on the ground. It did not shake at all when he got in the car. When Zhao Na and Zhang Tianling saw He Hongyan board the flying car, their faces were filled with excitement and anxiety. They opened the car doors on both sides and boarded the flying car as well. ¡°It feels like this car is parked on the ground. It¡¯s very stable.¡± Both of them looked surprised. In fact, just like He Hongyan, they were also worried that it would be unstable. ¡°Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts! The Pegasus will start in 20 seconds. Estimated arrival time at the small dessert factory area of the Divine Dragon Software Company is 30 minutes.¡± In the car, the smart assistant of the Pegasus sounded. ¡°The speed of the flying car is very fast. Everyone must fasten your seatbelts,¡± Li Chengqian reminded. The few people in the car hurriedly fastened their seatbelts. ¡°The Pegasus has been successfully activated¡­¡± A powerful force pressed everyone¡¯s bodies against the backrest. Under the powerful force of the electromagnetic dynamics, the flying car instantly rushed 300 meters into the sky. In one second, the speed exceeded 100. In five seconds, the speed of the flying car reached 300 kilometers per hour. Then, it maintained the speed of 300 and flew towards the Divine Dragon Software Company like a bolt of lightning. In fact, the flying car could be even faster. There was already a magnetic generator and controller installed in the trunk of the flying car. With the thrust of this generator, theoretically speaking, it could allow the flying car to reach 1,000 kilometers per hour in a minute. But Li Chengqian didn¡¯t dare. This car was an ordinary car. It couldn¡¯t withstand such a fast speed. If the speed reached about 600, the car would fall apart. The other three people in the car were all ordinary people. If the acceleration was too great in an extremely short period of time, their bodies would not be able to take it. ¡°Ah ¡­ It¡¯s too fast! Li Chengqian, slow down!¡± Zhao Na shouted in fright. ¡°Ah¡­ This is exciting, very satisfying!¡± Zhang Tianling¡¯s face was flushed red. Not only was she not frightened, but she also shouted excitedly. ¡°F*ck¡­ impressive, awesome! Boss, you¡¯re simply a god!¡± He Hongyan also roared and cursed. After the speed of the flying car stabilized, other than Li Chengqian, everyone else cast their gazes to the ground. The three of them were extremely excited. Even a big shot like He Hongyan took out his phone to take photos, record videos, and post them on his WeChat moments. ¡°That¡¯s awesome! The Divine Dragon Software Company has already developed an experimental model of flying car. Currently, I¡¯m on a flying car. It¡¯s about 500 meters above the ground and moving at 300 kilometers per hour. There¡¯s no need to turn. There¡¯s no traffic jam. It¡¯s fast.¡± He Hongyan recorded a video. ¡°I sat on the world¡¯s first flying car, the eternal god of Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian, he is god. He¡¯s amazing.¡± Zhao Na also recorded a video and posted it. ¡°I¡¯m on a car that can fly at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour! This car was developed by Li Chengqian. He is god!¡± Zhang Tianling also recorded a video and posted it not only on WeChat, but also on websites of other countries. He Hongyan was a business giant after all. After the initial excitement passed, he quickly calmed down. Then, he looked left and right. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. Then he pricked up his ears again and listened carefully. Other than hearing the wind outside the car, he couldn¡¯t hear any roar of an engine running. ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve looked around. I didn¡¯t see any propellers on the flying car, nor did I see any aviation engines on the flying car¡­ I didn¡¯t see any power device that could let the car fly into the sky.¡± He Hongyan recalled the scene of this car parked in the project and did not find anything different about this car from the other cars. This made him even more puzzled. ¡°Boss, tell me the truth. Are you an immortal? Did you use magic to make the flying car fly into the sky?¡± ¡°In reality, this isn¡¯t a flying car, but a magic tool used by immortals?¡± With He Hongyan¡¯s knowledge level, this was the only explanation he could think of. Chapter 298 - 298 VIP 298 VIP ¡°We¡¯re here. Everyone, get out of the car.¡± Soon, they arrived at the factory of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Everyone got off the flying car reluctantly. ¡°It¡¯s so fast! It felt like I arrived in the blink of an eye.¡± He Hongyan watched as Li Chengqian used the key to lock the flying car. His eyes were burning with desire and yearning. Through the experience just now, he once again appreciated the power of flying cars. Firstly, it was very stable. Although he was flying in the sky, it felt even more stable than driving on the ground. Secondly, it was very fast. There was no such thing as a traffic jam when flying in the sky. There was also no such thing as a detour. The car could maintain a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. He usually felt very proud to drive a luxury car worth millions or tens of millions, but after riding a flying car with Li Chengqian, he felt that the car in his house was nothing at all. He might even feel ashamed to drive it. ¡°Boss, you¡¯re not driving for the time being. Why don¡¯t you lend me your car for a test drive?¡± He Hongyan licked his lips and said. ¡°No way!¡± Li Chengqian rejected He Hongyan¡¯s request without thinking. He rushed back in a hurry because he received a call from Academician Lin Qu. An extremely important guest was coming to the Divine Dragon Software Company that afternoon. He was coming to visit Li Chengqian¡¯s automated farm! Although Academician Lin Qu didn¡¯t say who it was, the anxiety and seriousness in his tone and the detailed instructions he gave were clear indications. In addition, Li Chengqian still had Bai Ze¡¯s omnipotent artificial intelligence. Through Bai Ze, Li Chengqian already knew who was coming. Leader Tian! The true decision maker of the Divine Dragon. That was why Li Chengqian rushed back to the factory to await his arrival. ¡°President He, President Zhao, President Zhang, someone very important is going to visit the Divine Dragon Software Company soon.¡± ¡°You guys go brief the outstanding employees of the various departments.¡± ¡°If he¡¯s going to visit the various departments, be on standby to report on our work.¡± ¡°Go and get to work immediately.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was extremely serious. ¡°A VIP? Could it be that the leaders are coming over?¡± He Hongyan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Other than the highest leader, no one else had the ability to make Li Chengqian pay so much attention. ¡°Divine Dragon factory¡¯s butler, send a car over to take me to the office.¡± He Hongyan raised his hand and instructed the smartwatch on his hand. This smartwatch was connected to the server of the Divine Dragon Software Company. After stating his request, as long as the request was reasonable and it was within the scope of the Divine Software Company factory, it would receive a response. When He Hongyan first came to work at the Divine Dragon Software Company, he was stunned by this level of intelligence! With this level of autonomous driving technology, it was completely possible to organize an automated taxi fleet to service the city. Compared to the so-called L5 automatic driving technology that other companies were experimenting with, this was miles ahead. Meanwhile, the other companies have been bragging so much about their technology but had nothing to show for. The Divine Dragon Software Company clearly had such a powerful technology, but they kept a low profile and used it in their fleet of commercial vehicles for the transportation of personnel in the factory. In He Hongyan¡¯s opinion, it was simply a waste of the technology. If he were to run this project, as long as this technology was announced, he could obtain tens of billions of yuan for the Divine Dragon Software Company just from this project alone. After Zhang Tianling and Zhao Na saw Li Chengqian¡¯s serious expression, they didn¡¯t dare to mess around anymore. Like He Hongyan, they raised their requests through their smartwatches. One minute later, a self-driving smart car stopped in front of the three of them, and the door opened automatically. ¡°President He Hongyan, Vice President Zhao Na, and Vice President Zhang Tianling, please get in the car.¡± A mechanical reminder sounded from the car speakers. ¡°Go on.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, the three of them got into the car. The smart car automatically closed the doors and left quickly. After Li Chengqian watched them leave, he turned around and walked into the huge factory that belonged to him. ¡°Artificial Intelligence Bai Ze.¡± ¡°Autopilot technology!¡± ¡°First generation robot!¡± ¡°Construction robot!¡± ¡°Graphite super battery!¡± ¡°Electromagnetic stealth paint.¡± ¡°And the small planet magnetic plane.¡± ¡°Flying car!¡± ¡°And the Great Buckthorn fruit!¡± ¡°Single-chip CPU.¡± ¡°Ultra long distance communication control technology.¡± Li Chengqian went through the items in his head, thinking about what techniques could be displayed to the VIP. Actually, Li Chengqian had anticipated this visit from the VIP to the Divine Dragon Software Company. When Li Chengqian gave the Great Buckthorn fruit to Academician Lin Qu, he had already expected this to happen. Because this was something that Li Chengqian had deliberately pushed to happen. ¡°Artificial intelligence technology cannot be exposed for the time being.¡± ¡°The other technologies can all be displayed.¡± Li Chengqian made a decision after deliberating for a moment. Li Chengqian took a few steps forward and entered the factory. The originally messy factory had already been tidied up. Exquisite booths had been installed in the middle of the factory. In the first booth was a first-generation robot. Beside the robot was a detailed writeup on the robot. In the second booth was a construction robot for the biological research center. ¡­ Then, there was the graphite super battery booth. The electromagnetic paint booth was next. An object painted with the electromagnetic stealth paint would be invisible after being electrified, it would also escape radar detection. In addition to the booths of various sizes, there were two big items in the center. A flying car. The flying car was exactly the same as Li Chengqian¡¯s. It was six meters long, two meters wide, and two meters tall! A small planet magnetic plane. This aircraft was 20 meters in length and 8 meters in diameter. It didn¡¯t have wings or tails and looked just like an ordinary plane. Because there was no complicated fuel supply system and huge aviation engine, the structure immediately became especially simple. The power system was replaced by four electromagnetic generators and a graphite battery. The space inside the plane had become much larger. There were two passenger cabins in the plane, which could seat a total of 400 people. Li Chengqian was also shocked by the capacity of the small planet magnetic plane when it was created. The small planet magnetic plane was in actual fact a lightweight plane, but its capacity had already reached the level of a medium-sized plane. Moreover, the airspeed of the small planet magnetic plane was something that other planes on Earth could not match up to. There was no need for an airport. There was no need for a runway. It could take off and land vertically on any field! It could accelerate to 5,000 kilometers per hour in 10 minutes! It only needed six hours to fly around Earth. The super graphite battery used by the small planet magnetic plane could support 60,000 kilometers of flight distance. Li Chengqian had a backup battery. After the battery was exhausted, he could return to the Divine Dragon Software Company¡¯s factory and replace the battery in 10 minutes. It was more economical than any other mode of transportation. The main source of power was Earth¡¯s magnetic field. The energy consumed by flying was one-tenth of that of ordinary passenger planes. Moreover, Li Chengqian had already used the electromagnetic stealth paint on the small planet magnetic plane. No one could track the small planet magnetic plane with existing technology. He could fly this plane at will. Even the most advanced fighter jets couldn¡¯t do anything to him. Li Chengqian had the confidence to take on anyone after building this small planet magnetic plane. Li Chengqian was actually not very self-confident in the past. He was in actual fact worried and scared. He was afraid that everything he had built would be taken away. Li Chengqian observed the explosion of the hydrogen bomb set off by Sunset. The destructive power was terrifying. He knew that although his stamina had reached 150,000 points, it was absolutely impossible for him to withstand the attack of a hydrogen bomb. Now that he had the small planet magnetic plane, he had the confidence to face all challenges. As long as he got on the small planet magnetic plane, even though the hydrogen was extremely powerful, it wouldn¡¯t be able to get him. Although Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t survive a hydrogen bomb attack, the hydrogen bomb couldn¡¯t attack him. Chapter 299 - 299 Visit 1 299 Visit 1 At three o¡¯clock sharp, a group of people waited outside the Divine Dragon Software Company. Other than Li Chengqian, there were also relevant personnel from Jinshan Province. There were not many people, only ten. The Provincial Governor of Jinshan Province, Huang Tianbao, and a few of his trusted assistants had also come. In addition, two key officials of Tianyi City had also come. Li Chengqian stood beside Huang Tianbao. The two of them were talking in a low voice. At this moment, under the lead of a car from the special forces, an ordinary-looking black car pulled up slowly and stopped in front of everyone. Lin Tian got out of the car beaming. ¡°Hello, everyone.¡± Lin Tian greeted everyone gently after he got out of the car. ¡°Greetings, Leader Tian.¡± Huang Tianbao greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands with everyone. At this moment, Academician Lin Qu got out from a car behind. When he saw Li Chengqian in the crowd, he smiled and nodded. ¡°You¡¯re Li Chengqian, right?¡± When he shook hands with Li Chengqian, Lin Tian became even more amiable. The effect of the Great Buckthorn fruit was astonishing. It kept him energized in the day so that he could perform well at work, and at night, it improved the quality of his sleep. After eating the Great Buckthorn fruit, the usual health issues of older men, such as the common pains and aches were all cured. It was like an elixir. When the effects of the Great Buckthorn fruit kicked in, Lin Tian felt that he had the health and energy level of a 35-year-old. Therefore, after dealing with the urgent matters on hand, he immediately brought Academician Lin Qu and the relevant personnel over. He wanted to personally come and take a look at how Li Chengqian had planted this elixir-like Great Buckthorn fruit. ¡°Leader Tian, I am Li Chengqian!¡± Li Chengqian also had a smile on his face. ¡°Impressive. You¡¯re the most impressive young man I¡¯ve ever seen!¡± ¡°You developed the Divine Dragon Software System and took over the world¡¯s operating system market at such a young age.¡± ¡°He turned the tide during the attack of the Doomsday Extortion Virus and seized control of the internet in one go. Then, he developed the MAC network technology and foiled Sunset¡¯s plan to regain control of the internet.¡± ¡°He mass produced the DUV lithography machines and broke the foreign monopoly!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a young hero!¡± Before Lin Tian came, he had actually done a lot of homework and he knew Li Chengqian¡¯s achievements very well. In Lin Tian¡¯s team, people got out of the convoy one after another. Li Jiong, the leader for logistics, and Wang Kui, the leader of military affairs, also got out of the cars. Dai Liming and Qian Fuminyuan followed behind the group. Qian Fumin pulled a long face. He looked at Li Chengqian with hatred in his eyes. He was ambitious and was hoping to achieve something big. In the end, he was asked to stop. He found out the reason after he asked around. It was because of Li Chengqian¡¯s words that the leaders finally changed their minds and halted his plan. He became the butt of jokes in Divine Dragon City. Although this was the first time Qian Fumin met Li Chengqian, he had hated Li Chengqian to the core. But the way the others looked at Li Chengqian was all friendly. ¡°Leader Tian, actually, other than what you mentioned, our company still has many good things. It¡¯s even more advanced than what everyone knows.¡± Li Chengqian spoke candidly and he wasn¡¯t nervous at all. ¡°Oh? There are more advanced things? More advanced than photolithography machines?¡± Leader Tian was intrigued by what Li Chengqian said. In fact, the main purpose of Leader Tian¡¯s visit was to take a look at the Great Buckthorn fruit tree plantation. He wasn¡¯t very interested in anything else. ¡°Much more advanced than the lithography machine, Leader Tian! In fact, the least impressive thing I want to present to you is decades ahead of the lithography machine!¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. Lin Tian was even more surprised. The lithography machine produced by the Divine Dragon Software Company was already a very advanced product. He couldn¡¯t imagine what Li Chengqian would have that was decades more advanced than the lithography machine. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t brag. If you lie to Leader Tiani, I¡¯ll be the first to hold you accountable.¡± A trace of worry flashed in Academician Lin Qu¡¯s eyes. If Li Chengqian had deceived Leader Tian, the consequences would be very serious. ¡°Academician Lin Qu, don¡¯t worry! When have you ever seen me brag?¡± Li Chengqian was very confident. ¡°Leader Tian, please follow me.¡± Li Chengqian stepped forward and led Leader Tian to the Pegasus that was parked by the roadside. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Leader Tian needs to travel in his own car.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s actions, a security guard said solemnly. After Li Chengqian gestured to the security guards not to be nervous, he said to Leader Tian, ¡°Leader Tian, this is the Pegasus, the first flying car in the world.¡± ¡°It can fly for 20 hours at 300 kilometers per hour, at an altitude of up to 1,000 meters.¡± ¡°I want to invite you to take the Pegasus and experience the joy of a flying car.¡± ¡°I¡¯m your driver. Don¡¯t worry, the Pegasus is absolutely safe.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he opened the car door. He pressed the key and activated flight mode. There was no sound or light effect. The Pegasus rose very steadily from the ground and floated one meter above the ground. Even Lin Tian¡¯s face was filled with surprise when he saw this scene. ¡°This is amazing. How did the Pegasus float?¡± The other people¡¯s faces were filled with shock and disbelief. ¡°How did you do that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really floating. This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°Leader Tian, let me lead the way for you. Shall I bring you to the advanced technology exhibition hall?¡± Li Chengqian was all smiles. He gently pressed the key and lowered the flying car¡¯s height to 10 centimeters above the ground. Then, Li Chengqian stepped onto the flying car himself. Just as he was about to close the door, Leader Tian said, ¡°Li Chengqian, wait a moment. I also want to try your flying car.¡± ¡°Leader Tian, this is not a good idea. There might be a huge safety risk¡­¡± The security guard immediately said. ¡°Didn¡¯t Li Chengqian say that this flying car is very safe? He¡¯ll be the driver, and I¡¯ll be the passenger. No problem.¡± Leader Tian waved his hand and walked towards the flying car with a smile on his face. Li Chengqian also got out of the car beaming and opened the door for Leader Tian. The lead security guard glared fiercely at Li Chengqian, then quickly walked over and followed Leader Tian into the car. ¡°Wait, let me give it a try too!¡± Wang Kui, the military leader, hurriedly rushed over. As he was in charge of the military, he immediately thought of the uses of the flying car after he heard Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction. If the flying car was really as powerful as Li Chengqian had described, with just a little modification, this flying car would become a formidable war machine. Chapter 300 - 300 Visit 2 300 Visit 2 ¡°The car was very stable when I got in. It did not shake at all. This means that the force that made the car float is very strong,¡± Lin Tian said in satisfaction after stepping into the car. ¡°It¡¯s very stable! The stability of this hovercraft is even stronger than our most powerful helicopter.¡± Wang Kui, who sat beside Lin Tian, said in surprise. At this moment, the two security guards quickly got into the car and looked around vigilantly. When the two of them got into the car, the flying car still did not shake at all. Wang Kui and Lin Tian looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise. This flying car would be very valuable if it was that stable when flying and hovering. For military purposes, it was simply an aerial fortress. It could spray bullets down from above. ¡°Leaders, we¡¯re about to set off.¡± After Li Chengqian informed them, he began to use voice control to maneuver the flying car. ¡°Pegasus, low-altitude flight mode, 10 meters in the air!¡± Immediately, the Pegasus floated up steadily without wavering at all. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they could see the things on the ground becoming smaller and smaller through the window, Lin Tian and the others wouldn¡¯t even feel the flying car rising. This feeling was like taking a sightseeing elevator. In fact, it was even more stable than a sightseeing elevator. ¡°Vertical takeoff and landing! This is vertical takeoff and landing!¡± Wang Kui was a little excited. ¡°It¡¯s very stable! When it takes off and lands vertically, it doesn¡¯t tremble at all. It¡¯s like standing on the ground. Change the car¡¯s outer shell to bulletproof steel and bulletproof glass. Drive this car to the border, mount a machine gun, and raise it to a height of 100 meters. With a shuttle, it can take down hundreds of enemies.¡± Wang Kui¡¯s eyes were shining. He was already thinking about how to use the flying car. Moreover, this was the most basic usage he had thought of. ¡°Li Chengqian, my young friend, how is your flying car powered? Why didn¡¯t I hear any sound at all? Moreover, it looks like it took off and landed vertically?¡± Lin Tian became more and more surprised. To Lin Tian¡¯s knowledge, helicopters had huge propellers and were very noisy. Jet planes had huge engines and made a lot of noise when they started. Currently, only fighter jets could take off and land vertically in the world. When they took off, the sound was very loud. ¡°Leader Tian, allow me keep you in suspense for the time being. When we reach the exhibition hall, I¡¯ll give you a detailed explanation.¡± After Li Chengqian said this, he turned to speak to Pegasus on the central console screen. ¡°Pegasus, set the target to be the entrance of Factory No. 1. Drive along the road in the factory area.¡± ¡°Set the forward speed to 20 kilometers per hour.¡± Li Chengqian said everything in one breath. The flying car was still stable. It didn¡¯t shake or shake at all. If he hadn¡¯t seen the surrounding buildings retreating, he wouldn¡¯t have felt the flying car moving forward. The feeling was no different from sitting on the sofa in the office. ¡°It¡¯s very stable! It¡¯s really unbelievable! This flying car is suitable for our military!¡± Wang Kui said excitedly. ¡°Li Chengqian, young man¡­¡± ¡°Leader Wang, why don¡¯t you just call me by my name?¡± Li Chengqian said gloomily. Lin Tian and Wang Kui both called him ¡®young man¡¯. This form of address was really a little embarrassing. Wang Kui shook his head and continued, ¡°Li Chengqian, what¡¯s the maximum takeoff weight of the power system used by your car?¡± ¡°If we change the outer shell of this car to special steel, can it fly?¡± ¡°Can you expand the interior of the car? For example, make it into a room three meters long, wide, and tall?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter even if we fly a little slower.¡± After Wang Kui finished speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian anxiously. ¡°Leader Wang, allow me to keep you in suspense. I¡¯ll explain to you when we reach the technology exhibition hall,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. ¡°President Li, are you selling this car?¡± The head of security was already stunned by the performance of the flying car. He couldn¡¯t help but ask when he felt the flying car advancing steadily. This was because he felt that this flying car was simply a divine machine for safety missions. If this car was given to the Leader Tian, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry too much about safety when he went out in the future. The flying car flew in the sky at an extremely fast speed. This way, there was no need to consider the threats that might appear on the ground. Flying cars could fly 10 meters above the ground. This kind of low-altitude flying would make it invincible to any missile attacks in the world. It was safer than taking an airplane or helicopter. The flying car could float in the air and had the ability to take off and land vertically. It could take off and land anywhere, or stop on any terrain! This way, he could ensure that wherever Leader Tian was, he could drive a flying car directly. He could turn the flying car into a platform and use it as a stage to give speeches. Leader Tian could complete a lot of inspection work without getting off the car. This way, the pressure on the safety of the commanders would be greatly reduced. Moreover, at the beginning, Li Chengqian had said that flying cars could fly for 20 hours up to an altitude of 1,000 meters and at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. In other words, the flying car¡¯s range was 6,000 kilometers! This ensured that under any circumstances, Leader Tian would have the ability to return to the Divine Dragon Capital within a day. ¡°The flying car is not for sale for the time being!¡± The head of security frowned. Lin Tian was also a little disappointed. In fact, he was impressed by the flying car. ¡°Because I haven¡¯t got a permit for the flying car yet, and it hasn¡¯t gone through all kinds of airworthiness tests. After the relevant tests are completed and the relevant procedures are completed¡­ I¡¯ll specially produce a few and send them for the Leaders¡¯ use.¡± Then, Li Chengqian explained with a smile. ¡°Us old fellows won¡¯t take advantage of you. We¡¯ll pay as much as it should be!¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation, Lin Tian¡¯s expression became gentle, and he looked at Li Chengqian with a satisfied expression. ¡°Leader Wang, Li Chengqian said that the flying car doesn¡¯t have a permit yet. It also hasn¡¯t passed any airworthiness tests. Arrange for¡­ the people to test the flying car of the Divine Dragon Software Company.¡± ¡°This is a futuristic product. We should support it as long as there are no quality concerns.¡± Lin Tian thought for a moment and gave instructions. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll call the relevant agencies of the Air Force immediately and get them to conduct a comprehensive test on the flying car.¡± Wang Kui nodded and took out his phone to make arrangements. ¡°This kid is a cunning fox. He¡¯s smart. He¡¯s retreating in order to advance. He said that he wanted to give us a flying car, but in fact, he¡¯s asking for our help.¡± Lin Tian smiled and said to Wang Kui. ¡°Hehe, thank you for your concern and support. I¡¯ll keep my word. Each of you will get one of these flying cars. I won¡¯t go back on my word.¡± Li Chengqian chuckled. Amidst everyone¡¯s laughter, the flying car stopped steadily in the square at the entrance of the factory exhibition hall. ¡°Leader Tian, Leader Wang, please alight from the car. We¡¯re here,¡± Li Chengqian urged them. ¡°Ah?¡± Wang Kui was extremely surprised. He didn¡¯t feel the flying car descend at all. He looked up and realized that the flying car had indeed landed on the ground. He had gained a clearer understanding of the stability and comfort of the flying car. ¡°We¡¯re here? So fast? I didn¡¯t even sense the descent of the flying car.¡± Lin Tian looked out of the window and was shocked to see that the convoy had already stopped behind the flying car. Chapter 301 - 301 Divine Immortal Soldier 301 Divine Immortal Soldier ¡°Li Chengqian, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to introduce me to high-tech products? Where are your high-tech products?¡± After entering the room, Lin Tian looked at the empty factory and was a little puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s right. I asked you about the flying car just now. You asked me to wait till we got to the exhibition hall. Now that we¡¯re here, there¡¯s nothing in your exhibition hall. What do you want us to see?¡± Wang Kui looked around. The huge factory building was empty. Other than the walls of the factory building, there was nothing else to see. He was also very puzzled. Academician Lin Qu, Dai Liming, Qian Fumin, the Provincial Governor of Jinshan Province, his deputy, and the two key officials of Tianyi City followed in. The high-level security guards also followed them in. The others weren¡¯t allowed to enter the exhibition hall because of confidentiality concerns. Everyone looked around the factory curiously. They had thought that they would see technology that was even more shocking than flying cars, but there was nothing around. ¡°What is Li Chengqian doing? Doesn¡¯t he know the consequences of deceiving Leader Tian and Leader Wang?¡± ¡°How dare Li Chengqian fool them!¡± ¡°He invited us here to view high-tech products? Is he asking us to look at the air?¡± Although no one said anything, strange thoughts came to their minds. ¡°Please don¡¯t be anxious, my dear Leaders!¡± Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He tapped his watch confidently. ¡°The good stuff is all in the exhibition hall. Just to be safe, I used the most advanced invisible paint to make the things in the exhibition hall invisible. Although they are all here, we can¡¯t see them,¡± Li Chengqian said briefly. ¡°What?¡± Lin Tian thought he had heard wrongly. ¡°What did you say? Invisibility?¡± Wang Kui looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. Invisibility was simply a divine skill for the military. The military had been working hard in this area of scientific research, but they hadn¡¯t made any progress. At this moment, on the left, near the wall in front of everyone, 300 first-generation humanoid robots suddenly appeared. The robots stood in an orderly formation, facing Li Chengqian and Lin Tian. This sudden scene stunned everyone. Even Lin Tian and Wang Kui were shocked by the sudden appearance of the densely packed robots. The eyes of many people behind Lin Tian and Wang Kui were filled with disbelief. ¡°Hiss¡­ Oh my god!¡± ¡°Where did these robots come from?¡± ¡°Why did such a large group of robots suddenly appear? It¡¯s unbelievable.¡± ¡°This is simply like magic.¡± Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock. ¡°Hello Leaders!¡± Immediately, an orderly voice came from the robot team. There was no emotion in the voice. It was an electronically synthesized voice, but it sounded at the same time. It was extremely impressive and shocking. ¡°Show the Leaders your abilities¡­ Running, weight lifting, climbing, repairing, and fighting!¡± Li Chengqian continued to speak. ¡°Yes! The first task is to run!¡± After the robot replied, the team began to run in an orderly manner. They were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they ran around the hall and returned to their original spots. ¡°Second, weight lifting!¡± The ten robots immediately formed groups of ten. One robot raised ten robots with both arms and ran along the same route as before. Their speed was also very fast. After running one round, the robots returned to their neat formation within 10 seconds. ¡°Third, climb!¡± The ten robots near the factory wall turned around and approached the wall at the same time. The robots were extremely agile and quickly climbed to the highest point of the wall. Then, they climbed down at an extremely fast speed and returned to the team. ¡°Fourth, repair!¡± On the side of the team, there was a pile of messy-looking parts. Ten robots walked over. All kinds of tools were ejected from their arms. Then, these ten robots assembled a pile of parts in five minutes at a dizzying speed and turned the parts into a brand new first-generation robot. ¡°Fifth, combat!¡± Immediately, the robots began to fight in pairs. Every move was aimed at the other party¡¯s fatal points. All the robots were extremely agile. All the robots had different attacking methods and modes of action. Although the style of attack was different, there was one special thing. They were very ruthless and tricky. If it was used against a person, a single move would leave them half dead. ¡°Stop, return to your original positions!¡± After Li Chengqian gave the order, all the robots stopped and returned to their original positions. ¡°Leader Tian, this is the first product I want to show you, the first-generation bionic robot!¡± ¡°The first-generation bionic robot has a battery life of 12 hours!¡± ¡°The weight is 530 kilograms! When it¡¯s not carrying any load, it can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.¡± ¡°The maximum load is 5 tons. At maximum load, the speed will be reduced to 60 kilometers per hour.¡± ¡°The first generation bionic robot is an all-terrain robot. It can move in any terrain. It has the ability to move underwater for a long time.¡± ¡°The first generation bionic robot is an all-powerful robot. Other than thinking and scientific research, and child bearing, it can do everything that humans can do,¡± Li Chengqian joked. ¡°The surface of the first-generation bionic robot is made of titanium alloy. The internal cables and power structures, the intelligence structure, and the control system were well protected. Ordinary guns were useless against it. Even highly-explosive bombs couldn¡¯t destroy its body structure.¡± ¡°When a relevant part has been damaged, it can look for a replacement part and repair itself very quickly. If there are relevant blueprints in his memory, he can quickly assemble a machine based on the blueprints.¡± ¡°Not only can it repair itself, it also has extremely strong repair abilities for commonly used machinery. It can repair cars, ships, planes¡­ It can do anything as long as the relevant modules have been installed.¡± ¡°The built-in software system uses the second-generation intelligence core of the Divine Dragon Software Company. In terms of human identification, logo recognition, accent recognition, and so on, it¡¯s better than the most professional experts.¡± ¡°It can withstand 500 meters of underwater pressure. It can function in a temperature between -30¡ãC and -80¡ãC. It can function normally for 30 minutes as long as the temperature is below 200¡ãC.¡± ¡°The bionic robots can replace humans in dangerous work, such as fire fighting, defense, and other related fields.¡± ¡°It can also be used in customs, security, military, and other related fields.¡± After Li Chengqian explained the situation of the first generation bionic robot, he looked at Lin Tian and the others. Then, he saw the shock on Lin Tian¡¯s face. In reality, from the moment Li Chengqian let the first generation robot perform, everyone was stunned. Lin Tian and Wang Kui¡¯s gazes were fixed on the bionic robot. They looked like they couldn¡¯t wait to own the robot. The performance that Li Chengqian had just displayed was too awesome. This kind of robot was perfect for war. It would be a waste if it was not sent to serve in the army. ¡°This is a divine immortal soldier! This is an invincible weapon!¡± It could run like a human! It showed the balance and agility of the first generation bionic robot. Weight lifting! It showed the ability of the first generation bionic robot to carry supplies. In wartime, even if a person was very strong, they could not carry more than 50 catties of weight. As for the first generation bionic robots, they could carry five tons of weight. A robot could carry the load for a small-scale battle. If a war happened in an area with no roads, the first generation bionic robots would be a powerful weapon for sending reinforcement to the frontline. As for climbing, this further demonstrated the all-terrain adaptability of the first generation bionic robot, as well as its sudden defense ability under special circumstances. If the enemy was hiding in a bunker in the downtown area, the usual method would be to take a risk by sending the warriors. With this robot, whether they chose to attack or to sneak in, the enemy hiding in the bunker would still perish in the end. Repairing was even more of a godly skill! In modern warfare, machinery was the game, and the combat power was all on machinery. Therefore, there were a large number of mechanical maintenance personnel in the army. They make up almost one-tenth of the total personnel. If this robot was really that powerful, more than half of the 10% of the personnel could be replaced with combatants to further improve the combat ability of the army. The combat display demonstrated the agility of the robots. Chapter 302 - 302 Presentation of Results 302 Presentation of Results Those whom Leader Tian chose to bring here were not fools. Based on Li Chengqian¡¯s presentation, as long as the robots were equipped with weapons, every robot would become a ruthless killing machine. They would become terrifying war platforms. Everyone¡¯s eyes were red as they looked at the robot that had already stopped moving. Their eyes were filled with desire. If such robots formed an army, they would be invincible. Coupled with the stealth function that Li Chengqian had previously demonstrated, these robots were even more invincible. ¡°Li Chengqian, amazing! This robot is amazing!¡± Lin Tian¡¯s eyes were also filled with desire as he looked at the robot. He had thought more deeply than the others. The world was not peaceful. A terrifying asphyxiation virus had appeared. Anyone who came near the asphyxiation virus would immediately be infected and become a breeding ground for the virus. They would also be controlled by the virus and would go on to spread the virus in all directions. Any living creature that went near the virus would be killed by it. This was the most terrifying part of the asphyxiation virus. Its spread was almost unstoppable! It was lethal to living beings! However, the asphyxiation virus could do nothing to robots. If the robots formed an army and cleaned up the living dead that had been infected with the virus, they might be able to wipe out the terrifying asphyxiation virus. ¡°Supply one of these robots for the military to test. As long as it meets the combat needs, we will purchase a large number of them. Wang Kui, arrange for someone to do this immediately.¡± After Lin Tian finished speaking, he immediately made arrangements. ¡°Alright!¡± After Wang Kui agreed, he immediately whispered to the military representative beside him. ¡°Leader Tiam, please come this way.¡± After Lin Tian finished speaking, Li Chengqian smiled and led the group to the second booth. The robots on the second booth were construction robots. As long as they have been fed the blueprints and provided with the materials, the construction robots could carry out construction at an extremely fast speed. Everyone exclaimed in astonishment after Li Chengqian explained the role of the construction robots in the construction of the biological research center. Lin Tian also nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration. He also arranged for others to buy some robots back for research and trial. ¡°Leader Tian, coming up next is the super graphite battery!¡± ¡°It can adapt to an ambient temperature of -80 to 80 degrees. It doesn¡¯t heat up during charging and usage!¡± ¡°The battery is very safe. There won¡¯t be any explosions or leakages under normal circumstances.¡± ¡°The battery usage loss is very small. After 100 complete charges and discharges, the battery¡¯s energy can still be maintained at more than 99%. It¡¯s estimated that it can be charged and discharged more than 500 times.¡± ¡°The robot that was displayed just now is powered by a super graphite battery!¡± ¡°The only issue now is that the cost is very high!¡± Everyone was shocked by the parameters introduced by Li Chengqian. A phone battery could be used for 12 hours. If a super graphite battery was used, it could last for 12,000 hours for one charge. This was equivalent to almost two years of battery life. Two years, that¡¯s usually when people replace their mobile phones¡­ The battery currently used in the electric car could run about 600 kilometers with one full charge. If it was replaced with a super graphite battery, the endurance could reach 60,000 kilometers! It looked like a small battery, but if it was popularized, it would change the entire world. Everyone was stunned. They looked at Li Chengqian with shock. ¡°How exactly does Li Chengqian¡¯s brain function? These world-changing technological achievements are child¡¯s play in his hands.¡± ¡°Super graphite battery. Just this technology alone can make Li Chengqian a billionaire and the richest man in the world.¡± Li Chengqian continued under everyone¡¯s amazed and envious gazes. He came to the side of the electromagnetic paint display booth and began to introduce it. ¡°Leader Tian, this is a special electromagnetic paint. The effect is very simple. After it¡¯s electrified, it can make objects invisible. At the same time, it can prevent objects from being detected by radar.¡± ¡°What? What¡¯s the effect of this paint again?¡± Leader Tian thought that Li Chengqian was mistaken. ¡°Leader Tian, the effect is very simple. After it is powered on, objects will become invisible. At the same time, objects will not be detected by radar.¡± Li Chengqian repeated the effect of the electromagnetic paint again. ¡°Just like this!¡± Li Chengqian pressed the button, and the model airplane on display in the booth was electrified. Right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes, the model airplane disappeared as if it had never existed. Everyone gasped and looked at the empty space where the model airplane was in disbelief. ¡°If this paint is used on a fighter jet, it will be visible to the naked eye and it won¡¯t be detected by radar¡­ It will be invincible!¡± ¡°Sunset¡¯s fifth-generation console is a pile of shit in front of this paint. It can¡¯t withstand a single blow.¡± ¡°This kind of paint can be used not only on fighter jets, but also on bombers. If this kind of paint was used on bombers carrying nuclear warheads on a bombing mission¡­ No one will discover it.¡± Thinking of this possibility, Lin Tian looked at the electromagnetic paint with a burning gaze. In his opinion, the effect of electromagnetic paint was similar to that of a robot. The robots were the best weapon for wiping out the asphyxiation virus, and electromagnetic paint was the strongest defense against other countries. As long as they flew the strategic bombers to other countries and released one or two videos on the flight, all the countries in the world would know how to behave. ¡°Cool, this is good stuff!¡­ Li Chengqian, how¡¯s the production capacity of this electromagnetic paint? How much paint is needed for a strategic bomber?¡± Lin Tian was very concerned and began to find out more about the electromagnetic paint in detail. ¡°The current production capacity of the electromagnetic paint is not high. Only about 100 kilograms can be produced a day. A strategic bomber would require about 1,000 kilograms of electromagnetic paint,¡± Li Chengqian replied. Originally, when he heard Li Chengqian say that the production was not high, Lin Tian was a little disappointed. However, when he heard that it would only take ten days to produce enough electromagnetic paint for a strategic bomber, Lin Tian broke into a smile immediately. ¡°Alright! We will purchase 10 tons first and give it a try. If the effect is good, I¡¯ll get the Ministry of Defence to increase the order.¡± Lin Tian did not ask for the unit price at all and made a decision on the spot. The smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face became even brighter as he guided Leader Tian to the next booth. There was nothing in the booth, but no one was surprised. Li Chengqian went to the side of the booth. After pressing a button, a flying car appeared out of thin air. Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still stunned to witness this surreal scene. Unbelievable! ¡°It looks like a magic spell!¡± ¡°The electromagnetic paint is amazing.¡± ¡°This material will change the entire world.¡± Everyone was once again amazed by the effect of the electromagnetic paint. Amidst the gasps of admiration, Li Chengqian began to introduce the flying car. Chapter 303 - 303 I Want To Show You What I Am Proudest Of 303 I Want To Show You What I Am Proudest Of ¡°This flying car uses a super graphite battery as the energy core. It uses an electromagnetic generator for propulsion and is controlled by an electromagnetic controller!¡± ¡°It can fly up to an altitude of 1,000 meters. Its maximum speed is 500 kilometers per hour, and its flight range is 6,000 kilometers.¡± Li Chengqian briefly explained the parameters of the flying car. Everyone was puzzled by what Li Chengqian said. Electromagnetic generator for propulsion? Electromagnetic controller? They had never heard of these terms before. Under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes, Li Chengqian explained with a smile. ¡°Electromagnetic generator. This is short for electromagnetic generator technology. It¡¯s a technology that uses electromagnetic force. It uses the Earth¡¯s powerful magnetic field to generate a powerful force. It uses very little energy to produce a very large force.¡± ¡°And the electromagnetic controller is the control device for the electromagnetic generator.¡± ¡°Electromagnetic power coupled with the super graphite battery produces a very good effect!¡± Harnessing the power of the Earth¡¯s magnetic field? The technological officials who were present couldn¡¯t believe their ears when they heard this. If it were so easy to harness the Earth¡¯s magnetic field, it would have been done long ago. Why would they wait until now? Besides the cutting of magnetic induction lines for electricity generation, there hasn¡¯t been any other significant achievements in this area of the application of the Earth¡¯s magnetic field. Scientists all over the world knew that the Earth¡¯s magnetic field was a treasure trove of energy. Humans would have an energy source for the next 1,000 years if it could be harnessed. This topic has been discussed and studied for 50 years. A lot of funds have been invested but there has been no results so far. Based on estimations of scientific and technological experts, it would take another 200 years to harness Earth¡¯s magnetic field with the current level of technology . But now, not only had Li Chengqian discovered a way to harness the Earth¡¯s magnetic field, but he had also made a physical object, an electromagnetic generator! They wouldn¡¯t have believed it if this came from anyone else. But just now, they had seen the flying car with their own eyes and it had even been transported by it to the exhibition hall. Therefore, they had no choice but to believe it. ¡°It¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian has developed the technology to harness the Earth¡¯s magnetic field!¡± Everyone, including Leader Tian, looked at Li Chengqian with admiration. A great scientist like Li Chengqian could change a country¡¯s strength alone. He could make a country rise in an extremely short period of time. There was a name for such a person in history, and that was¡­ Unrivaled national warrior! Leader Tian looked at Li Chengqian, who was smiling and talking freely, and thought to himself, ¡°I have to do something¡­ I have to let Li Chengqian feel the country¡¯s care for him. I have to let Li Chengqian feel a greater sense of belonging to the country.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s scientific research results were too shocking. He had to keep Li Chengqian in the country. He couldn¡¯t allow him to be snatched away by other countries. Although Li Chengqian had always been very patriotic. Whether it was developing a domestic operating system or helping the country gain absolute control of the internet, these were proof of Li Chengqian¡¯s patriotism. However, Li Chengqian¡¯s patriotism was one matter, and the country¡¯s love for him was another. For an important figure like Li Chengqian, no matter how one looked at it, the country couldn¡¯t let him suffer any grievances. Once Li Chengqian left the Divine Dragon Country, it would be a huge loss. ¡°Li Chengqian, your scientific research results are the focus of the world.¡± ¡°This is your era.¡± ¡°You are the greatest scientist in our country, and the greatest scientist in the world.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry and focus on research and development. If you need anything, you can tell me! I¡¯ll do whatever I can. If you¡¯re dissatisfied, just tell me. I¡¯ll think of a way to resolve it for you. If you encounter anything bad, you have to tell me. I¡¯ll uphold justice for you.¡± Lin Tian said seriously. Lin Tian¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. They looked at Li Chengqian with fear in their eyes. Some of the people present were initially excited by the display of technologies, but they soon felt the chills after hearing what Lin Tian said Although Lin Tian didn¡¯t say it explicitly, his meaning was obvious. Firstly, he was warning everyone to keep their hands off Li Chengqian. He would definitely not tolerate anyone who dared to have designs on Li Chengqian, or dared to play dirty tricks on him. Secondly, he was expressing his goodwill, care and concern to Li Chengqian. ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry. As long as there¡¯s a problem, I¡¯ll call you immediately,¡± Li Chengqian replied with a smile. Leader Tian was all smiles after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s reply. He nodded and pointed at the flying car and asked, ¡°Li Chengqian, how are you going to price this flying car?¡± ¡°Also, although the flying car is called a car, it can fly in the sky. In fact, it can be considered an aircraft.¡± ¡°Aircrafts has to be licensed and proven safe before it can be commercialized.¡± ¡°I suggest that you provide two aircrafts produced by your company for the military to test. What do you think?¡± Lin Tian said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s great. Thank you, Leader Tian!¡± If Li Chengqian were to make these applications on his own, it would have taken him a long time. Leader Tian had now said that he wanted the military to test the performance of the flying car. In actual fact, he wanted the military to apply for Li Chengqian¡¯s flying permit. He was obviously doing Li Chengqian a favor. ¡°Leader Tian, the cost price of the flying car is 2 million yuan. If we include the research and development cost, the cost price of the flying car is about 5 million yuan.¡± ¡°But the next step is to obtain a flight permit and mass produce it. The cost will then be reduced.¡± Li Chengqian thought for a moment and reported the production cost of the flying car ten times higher. After hearing the price Li Chengqian mentioned, the eyes of Wang Kui, who was in charge of the Ministry of Defense, lit up. If the flying car was regarded as an ordinary car, the price of five million yuan would be ridiculously expensive. But flying cars weren¡¯t ordinary cars at all. In Wang Kui¡¯s eyes, flying cars were a combat platform that could take off and land vertically. They could completely replace helicopters. Compared to helicopters, flying cars were not expensive and had many advantages. Low noise, low fuel consumption, long endurance, heavy load, high flying speed. He only needed to modify the flying car to adapt to the needs of the Ministry of Defense. Wang Kui wished he could immediately place thousands of orders with Li Chengqian. He wanted Li Chengqian to immediately produce them for the Ministry, so that he could deploy them. When Lin Tian saw Wang Kui¡¯s fiery gaze, he immediately understood Wang Kui¡¯s thoughts. However, he had already discussed with Li Chengqian just now and asked him to provide two flying cars to the Ministry for testing. It was not too late to consider placing the order after the test results were out. Lin Tian took a look at the exhibition hall and realized that he had seen all the booths. There was nothing else. He paused for a moment and made his concluding remarks. ¡°Not bad, not bad!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, I originally came to visit your automated farm today¡­ I really didn¡¯t expect you to give me such a big surprise.¡± ¡°Bionic robots, super graphite batteries, battery paint, electromagnetic power generators and flying cars. Every one of them is an invention that would shock the world. Every one of them is a world-class innovation.¡± ¡°We will support high-tech companies like yours with all our might! No matter what difficulties you have, you can ask us. As long as it¡¯s reasonable, we will help you resolve them so that you don¡¯t have any worries¡­¡± Lin Tian¡¯s words were filled with praise and affirmation towards Li Chengqian. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Take us to see your automated farm.¡± After saying that, Lin Tian finally talked about the real purpose of this trip. The Great Buckthorn fruit! This was the ultimate reason why Lin Tian visited the Divine Dragon Software Company. It was a fruit that could energize people and bring them back to their youth. Anyone who ate it once would never forget it. Li Chengqian looked at Lin Tian with some hesitation, looking like he was hesitant to speak his mind. ¡°If it involves business secrets and is inconvenient, then forget it.¡± The smile on Lin Tian¡¯s face was awkward as he stopped in his tracks. Although the smile on Lin Tian¡¯s face was still cordial and gentle. However, the smiles on the faces of the others following Lin Tian also disappeared. They gave Li Chengqian strange looks. Li Chengqian acted as if he did not feel the strange gazes of the others. He smiled and spoke to Lin Tian. ¡°Leader Tian, you¡¯ve misunderstood! The gate of the Great Buckthorn fruit plantation will always be open to you. You can come whenever you want.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just¡­¡± ¡°But what? Stop hemming and hawing. If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Lin Tian chided. ¡°It¡¯s just that there¡¯s one last thing that hasn¡¯t been displayed in the exhibition hall!¡± ¡°This is the product I¡¯m most satisfied with at the moment. It¡¯s also the product with the highest technological content produced by the Divine Dragon Company.¡± ¡°I want to show you its power!¡± ¡°I wonder if I may?¡± Chapter 304 - 304 Terrifying War Machine 304 Terrifying War Machine ¡°Everyone, please look at the center of the exhibition hall,¡± Li Chengqian said as if he didn¡¯t see the surprise on Lin Tian and the others¡¯ faces. There was a huge empty area in the middle of the exhibition hall. There was nothing there. ¡°This piece of work is my proudest work. It is the highest technological achievement of the Divine Dragon Company.¡± ¡°I named it small planet magnetic plane!¡± Li Chengqian walked to an inconspicuous place at the edge and pressed a button. Immediately, the air in the originally empty place distorted, and a huge small planet magnetic plane suddenly appeared. The height of the small planet magnetic plane was more than 20 meters, and the length was 100 meters. The extremely empty factory was instantly filled up because of its appearance. The top of the small planet magnetic plane was only about a meter away from the ceiling. The huge small planet magnetic plane was like a huge wall, it had an imposing presence. The silver-white body had a hi-tech feel. Printed on the body was the majestic logo of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Although the small planet magnetic plane looked just like an ordinary plane, there were many differences. In terms of appearance, compared to regular airplanes, it has better aerodynamic performance and looks like an eagle soaring through the sky. Regular airplanes have large aerospace engines mounted beneath their wings, while the small planet magnetic plane has nothing beneath its wings. The small planet magnetic plane uses super graphite batteries as a source of energy. There is no fuel tank or fuel supply system thus creating a larger space in the aircraft. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Most people were shocked by the sudden appearance of the huge plane. ¡°Such a large aircraft! It is more than twice the size of the largest aircraft in the world.¡± The military leader, Wang Kui, exclaimed with gleaming eyes, ¡°This is undoubtedly the largest aircraft in the world, there is no doubt.. ¡°No wonder this factory is so tall. I was wondering why the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s factory was so tall. So that¡¯s the reason why.¡± ¡°The electromagnetic paint can actually turn such a huge plane invisible!¡± ¡°This plane doesn¡¯t have an engine. Could it be using electromagnetic power? I wonder how its performance is?¡± Just as everyone was guessing, Li Chengqian¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°The small planet magnetic plane uses electromagnetic power. Its maximum flying speed is 3,000 kilometers per hour, and its maximum flying height is 20,000 meters.¡± ¡°It can take 3,000 passengers.¡± ¡°Its maximum load is 1,000 tons!¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane can reach any part of the planet in 10 hours.¡± ¡°It can adapt to temperature ranges of -80 to 60 degrees.¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane is fully coated with electromagnetic paint, allowing it to achieve optical and electromagnetic stealth during flight.¡± ¡°No one would be able to spot it. No radar on Earth would be able to detect it.¡± ¡°It will be the safest mode of transportation in time to come.¡± After hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction, everyone couldn¡¯t help but gasp, and a chill ran down their spines! The way they looked at Li Chengqian changed. From looking at him with respect, they now look at him as a highly valued individual. In addition, there was a hint of fear. Those who had other thoughts in their hearts were totally convinced after they saw the small planet magnetic plane. Some people even looked at Li Chengqian with some reverence. No one knew how many more of these terrifying war machines Li Chengqian had. This was not a means of transportation at all. It was a terrifying war machine, a war machine even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb. The small planet magnetic plane can carry out a decapitation strike against any country. This was because it could fly freely on Earth without being discovered or attacked. With a load capacity of 1,000 tons, it could blow up the capital of Sunset just by making one round trip with some explosives loaded. Sunset¡¯s advanced radar and anti-aircraft missiles were nothing in the face of the small planet magnetic plane. If the small planet magnetic plane was loaded with enough explosives, it could attack an aircraft carrier at sea. The aircraft carrier would be defenseless in the face of the small planetary magnetic plane. It would sink into the sea in an instant. If the small planet magnetic plane was equipped with nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and other destructive arms, others would be sitting ducks. Even a veteran like Wang Kui got excited thinking of all the possible applications of the small planet magnetic plane. His breathing quickened. He looked at the plane as if he was looking at the woman of his dreams. He couldn¡¯t take his eyes off it. Lin Tian, on the other hand, took a deep look at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian has become more and more valuable to him. The small planet magnetic plane completely changed Lin Tian¡¯s opinion of Li Chengqian. In the past, no matter how strong Li Chengqian¡¯s scientific research ability was, he was merely a civilian. Although Li Chengqian was very capable, his status could not reach Lin Tian¡¯s level. However, the situation changed after Li Chengqian displayed the stealth small planet magnetic plane. This was because no one knew if Li Chengqian was still hiding other small planet magnetic planes. They only needed one plane to destroy a country. ¡°Li Chengqian, you are a genius, the greatest genius of this era.¡± ¡°The appearance of the small planet magnetic plane will change the world order and make the golden rays of the Divine Dragon shine on the world.¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane is simply terrifying!¡± ¡°How much does this small planet magnetic plane cost? How many do you have now? I want them all!¡± Leader Tian waved his hands and looked at the small planet magnetic plane with eyes as hot as Wang Kui¡¯s. While expressing his desire to buy it, he also wanted to use this opportunity to find out exactly how many planes Li Chengqian had. ¡°Leader Tian, the small planet magnetic plane costs 3 billion yuan each! There¡¯s only one test plane at the moment.¡± In fact, the manufacturing cost of a small planetary magnetic plane was about 50 million yuan. ¡°This is a prototype plane. It will be used for various tests to verify its safety and extreme climate adaptability.¡± ¡°So, it can¡¯t be sold for the time being,¡± Li Chengqian explained apologetically. ¡°Li Chengqian, aircraft test flights are no laughing matter. The Ministry of Defense is very experienced the testing of aircraft.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we hand this small planet magnetic plane over to the Ministry for experimentation?¡± Wang Kui suggested. He looked at the plane with burning desire. ¡°The airworthiness tests of the plane must be approved by the Ministry of Defense. I think Wang Kui¡¯s suggestion is very good. Li Chengqian, what do you think?¡± Lin Tian also said with a smile. Even if it was a half-finished product, it would be best if it was in the hands of the Ministry. Once it was obtained by other countries, it would be a huge threat to the Divine Dragon. ¡°Leader Tian, a small planet magnetic plane is different from ordinary planes. There¡¯s no need to carry out so many airworthiness tests.¡± Li Chengqian directly rejected this suggestion. If he handed the small planet magnetic plane to the Ministry of Defense, it would be like letting the genie out of the bottle. There was no way he would hand it over to the Ministry. ¡°I¡¯ve already done 100,000 computer simulation tests on the performance of the small planet magnetic plane! The results are very good!¡± ¡°Now, we only need to carry out actual flight tests to determine its performance and safety.¡± ¡°This time, it just so happens that Leader Tian and the others are also here. That is why I invited you to witness the power of the small planet magnetic plane together.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, a large screen rose from the ground and stood in front of everyone. Li Chengqian wanted to take advantage of this opportunity firstly to showcase the performance of the small planet magnetic plane. Secondly, he wanted to showcase the combat power of the robots. Thirdly, he wanted to let these people see with their own eyes the tragic state Sunset was in as it was being attacked by the asphyxiation virus. Moreover, he could use this opportunity to obtain the live asphyxiation virus so as to develop the vaccine. ¡°Li Chengqian, you have to apply to the Ministry of Defense for the test flights first. They can only be carried out after approval has been granted. Any aircraft that has not been approved will be shot down by anti-aircraft missiles. You can¡¯t just go ahead and conduct the tests¡­¡± Wang Kui frowned and said. ¡°Even the Ministry has to go through this process if it wants to conduct an aircraft test. However, it will be much faster to go through the process via the Ministry. If you hand over the small planet magnetic plane to us, we will only need a year to complete the tests.¡± Wang Kui looked at the small planet magnetic plane in fascination. If the small planet magnetic plane was really as powerful as Li Chengqian said, as long as they could lay hands on it, they could immediately put it into actual combat. They just have to fly it around to show off their military might. It would scare all the enemies out of their wits! Wang Kui felt extremely happy when he thought of how terrified and unsettled all the world leaders would be. At this moment, an electronically synthesized cold voice came from the factory. ¡°Beep, beep, beep¡­ Please note that the small planet magnetic plane test program has been activated¡­!¡± ¡°Small planet magnetic plane self-check completed! Everything is in order!¡± ¡°Everyone, please stay outside the five-meter range of the small planet magnetic plane!¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane will take off in 30 seconds¡­ Its destination is the Holy Shield region in Sunset!¡± **30** At the same time, the roof of the factory slowly opened on both sides. The space above the huge small planet magnetic plane was clear. ¡­ ¡°3¡­¡± ¡°2¡­¡± ¡°One¡­¡± ¡°The test program has been successfully activated!¡± ¡°The plane has taken off successfully!¡± Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the huge plane floated up from the ground silently and effortlessly, like a feather. Its speed became faster and faster.It entered the clouds and disappeared within a minute. ¡°Quick, immediately send an order to the air defense unit to inform them of this flight. Get them to monitor the movements of the plane, but they must not attack the plane.¡± Seeing the plane disappear into the clouds, Wang Kui¡¯s expression changed drastically and he immediately made arrangements. The others also became visibly upset. They felt slighted because Li Chengqian didn¡¯t listen to the Leader¡¯s orders. Many people felt that Li Chengqian had become arrogant because he had developed and manufactured the small planet magnetic plane. He even dared to oppose the Leader¡¯s instructions! The way he looked at Li Chengqian became less friendly. Many security guards looked at Li Chengqian warily. As for Li Chengqian, his expression didn¡¯t change at all. He looked at the data on the big screen. ¡°Everyone, this place is 6,000 kilometers away from Sunset. The small planet magnetic plane will take two hours to reach its destination.¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane has already activated optical and electromagnetic stealth and ascended to an altitude of 20,000 meters. It¡¯s very safe.¡± ¡°We can use this time to visit the automated farm.¡± Li Chengqian tapped his smartwatch. Open-top flying cars appeared in the factory out of nowhere and floated in front of everyone. ¡°Everyone, please get in the car¡­ The automated farm is muddy. Taking an open-top flying car is the best way to visit the automated farm.¡± The way Lin Tian looked at Li Chengqian became even more solemn. At this moment, dozens of flying cars suddenly appeared¡­ He was displaying his might Chapter 305 - 305 Confrontation! 305 Confrontation! When the Ministry of Defense received Wang Kui¡¯s order, military radars all over the country were activated at full force. ¡°Radar is in full force!¡± ¡°Radar sweeps are underway in Jinshan Province.¡± ¡°Radar scans are normal!¡± ¡°No aircraft detected.¡± ¡°Redo scanning¡­¡± ¡°No abnormalities!¡± The leaders of the radar center looked at each other. Then, he didn¡¯t believe it and scanned for the small planet magnetic plane many times. However, he found nothing. It was as if the small planet magnetic plane never existed. ¡°Reporting to the leader, the radar has not picked up any information about the small planet magnetic plane! We did not find any aircraft.¡± On the other hand, the satellite center mobilized all its forces and began to monitor the flight trajectory and time provided by Wang Kui. In the end, the results of their surveillance were exactly the same as the radar center. They found nothing at all. The small planet magnetic plane that had just taken off from the Divine Dragon Software Company seemed to not exist at all. Only the image of the small planet magnetic plane taking off could be pulled up and seen. The information was quickly fed to the delegation visiting the factory. Wang Kui¡¯s expression was solemn as he reported the satellite surveillance and radar surveillance to Lin Tian in a low voice. ¡°¡­ Leader Tian, the small planet magnetic plane is too advanced. Our technology can¡¯t even detect it.¡± ¡°The electromagnetic paint technology is simply unbelievable!¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane will be the strongest force in the sky in the future. The most advanced fifth-generation aircraft and B2 bombers are vulnerable.¡± Lin Tian nodded and looked at the big screen. On the big screen, the flight trajectory of the small planet magnetic plane was displayed. The small planet magnetic plane was currently flying at an altitude of 20,000 meters. The external camera on the plane displayed the deep and dark space and the blue Earth on the big screen. After five minutes of acceleration, the aircraft¡¯s speed had reached 3,000 kilometers per hour. ¡°Leader Tian, let¡¯s go! It will take another two hours for the small planet magnetic plane to reach its destination. We¡¯ll come back again when the plane is almost reaching its destination.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and invited him again. Li Chengqian had invited him once when the small planet magnetic plane had just taken off, but Lin Tian said that he wanted to wait and see the big screen display. Now that Wang Kui had already reported the situation monitored by the Ministry of Defense and confirmed the stealth qualities of the plane, there was no need to stay further. It also proved the war potential of the small planet magnetic plane. ¡°Alright! Li Chengqian, why don¡¯t you ride in the same car with me? I happen to have something to ask you.¡± Lin Tian could no longer decline. He took the initiative to board the flying car floating in front of him. He was deep in thought as he invited Li Chengqian. ¡°Sure!¡± Li Chengqian walked into the car without any reservations. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯ve given me a huge surprise! Now that we have the small planet magnetic plane, our country¡¯s military power will completely surpass all the other countries!¡± In fact, it was not a surprise, but a shock! The small planet magnetic plane was too terrifying. Li Chengqian had only displayed one. Because of the optical and electromagnetic stealth capabilities, no one knew how many small such planes he had. ¡°Leader Tian, I¡¯m a Divine Dragon. I¡¯ve enjoyed the peace and tranquility provided by the Divine Dragon. Naturally, I have to contribute to this peace and tranquility!¡± Li Chengqian said meaningfully. Leader Tian was an extremely smart person, so he naturally understood Li Chengqian¡¯s meaning. He nodded. His mind raced as he made a promise. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t worry! Just do it! As long as you don¡¯t endanger national security or break the law, I will personally support you in whatever you do!¡± Li Chengqian was all smiles. ¡°Leader Tian, I¡¯m only interested in scientific research¡­ I¡¯m not interested in anything else. You can rest assured about this.¡± Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, the car had already entered the Great Buckthorn fruit plantation. The fiery special aroma of the Great Buckthorn fruits made everyone¡¯s nose twitch. Even Lin Tian was no exception. He looked at the densely packed Great Buckthorn fruits on the branches outside. There were more than 10,000 Great Buckthorn fruits on any one tree. Lin Tian¡¯s face was red. He had come to the Divine Dragon Company for the Great Buckthorn fruit. Eating a Great Buckthorn fruit could boost one¡¯s stamina and improve one¡¯s health. All the illnesses and pain would be gone immediately. Anyone who ate one of these magical fruits yearned to have more, and yearned to be able to eat them all the time. Perhaps some people were not afraid of death, but everyone was afraid of aging. ¡°Alright!¡± After seeing these Great Buckthorn fruits, Lin Tian was relieved. He definitely won¡¯t be lacking them in the future. The others smiled when they saw the tree branches bending over from the weight of the Great Buckthorn fruits. There were so many Great Buckthorn fruits, enough to go round for everyone. In the future, if he ate one every day, he would be energetic and all the pains and aches would disappear. His physical condition would return to its prime. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After eating a Great Buckthorn fruit, no one could go back to the past. ¡°Li Chengqian, can the cultivation of the Great Buckthorn fruit be expanded?¡± ¡°How do you intend to price the Great Buckthorn fruits?¡± That which is rare is dear. There seemed to be a lot of Great Buckthorn fruits here. But it was a drop in the ocean compared to the population of the entire Divine Dragon Country. ¡°Leader Tian, the Great Buckthorn fruit requires very specific soil conditions. It can¡¯t be grown anywhere else.¡± The Great Buckthorn fruit was a plant optimized by Li Chengqian through his Profession Skill. Li Chengqian had already restricted it to be planted only in the soil created by the Skill. It would die immediately if it was transferred elsewhere! Other than offshoots from the sprout, there was no other way to reproduce it. Therefore, Li Chengqian was not worried at all that the Great Buckthorn fruit would be taken to other places to be planted. ¡°There are 100 Great Buckthorn fruit trees here. We can harvest one season a year, and we can harvest about 500,000 fruits per season.¡± ¡°The effects of the Great Buckthorn Fruit are very magical. I¡¯m not planning to sell it for the time being.¡± In fact, if Li Chengqian used the Skills on the Great Buckthorn fruit trees, he could produce an astonishing amount. However, there was absolutely no need to do so. The Great Buckthorn fruit was not a necessity for human survival. Half a million fruits was enough. Hearing that there was only a production of 500,000 fruits a year, Lin Tian¡¯s expression became a little solemn. Half a million might sound like a lot, but it was actually not much. Based on the consumption of one fruit a day, 500,000 Great Buckthorn fruits were only enough for 1,388 people. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t sell it at all. Whether he could eat it forever in the future was completely unknown. If it was in the past, with the authority of the Leaders, he felt that Li Chengqian would definitely sell it to him. However, not long ago, Li Chengqian had demonstrated to him the small planet magnetic plane, so he was not so sure. After mastering the small planet magnetic plane, Li Chengqian already had the power and ability to be on par with him. Even if it was him, it was impossible to force Li Chengqian. He also had to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s approval before he could pluck the Great Buckthorn fruit. ¡°Li Chengqian, I have an idea. Let me take over the management of all these Great Buckthorn fruits. I will¡­¡± After thinking for a while, a thought flashed through Lin Tian¡¯s mind. Then, he carefully spoke. He proposed a deal that was too good for Li Chengqian to turn down. A deal that no one would refuse. Chapter 306 - 306 Obtain a Live Virus! Control Li Chengqian. Take Over the Plane! 306 Obtain a Live Virus! Control Li Chengqian. Take Over the Plane! An hour and a half later, everyone left the Great Buckthorn fruit automated farm reluctantly. They had thought that Li Chengqian would send each one of them home with some Great Buckthorn fruits, but they were disappointed. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say a word about this. Li Chengqian and Lin Tian chatted happily as they returned to the exhibition hall, while everyone had disappointment written on their faces On the big screen, the small planet magnetic plane had already entered Sunset¡¯s airspace. Sunset didn¡¯t detect the plane at all, as such there was no reaction from them. Ten minutes later, the plane arrived at the designated airspace and hovered at an altitude of 20,000 meters. ¡°Li Chengqian, we are totally convinced about the performance of the small planet magnetic plane! Why don¡¯t we end this test flight here? It¡¯s not too late for us to test fly the plane after the Ministry of Defense has tested it and installed relevant weapons on it.¡± Wang Kui looked at the location of the plane and broke out in cold sweat. According to intelligence reports he received, a large number of anti-aircraft missiles had been deployed in the Holy Shield region. These were state-of-the-art anti-aircraft missiles that could shoot down any aircraft that invaded Sunset¡¯s airspace. Wang Kui was worried that if they weren¡¯t careful, the small planet magnetic plane would be shot down by Sunset¡¯s anti-air missiles. That would be a huge loss! If Sunset obtained the fragments of the plane and researched them, they would obtain the related technology¡­ The consequences would be unimaginable. Li Chengqian smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. He controlled the plane to descend at a moderate speed. When the invisible plane was about 500 meters away from the ground, he stopped. ¡°Leader Wang, don¡¯t worry. The small planet magnetic plane uses electromagnetic paint. No one can see it, and no radar can detect it. It¡¯s very safe.¡± As he spoke, Li Chengqian adjusted the camera. The big screen showed the situation below the plane. This was a military camp in Sunset. There were many tanks and anti-aircraft guns in the military camp. There were broken limbs and puddles of blood on the ground, proving that a battle had happened here not long ago. In the square of the military camp, a large number of dead soldiers wandered aimlessly. They had been infected by the virus and had become walking corpses and hotbeds of the asphyxiation virus. In the exhibition hall of the Divine Dragon Company, Lin Tian stood up from his seat when he saw the scene on the screen. His eyes were fixed on the zombie-like soldiers on the screen. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± When the others saw the scene on the big screen, they sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with shock. A word appeared in everyone¡¯s hearts. Asphyxiation virus! ¡°It¡¯s the asphyxiation virus! The hydrogen bomb from Sunset didn¡¯t eliminate the virus!¡± ¡°Not only did Sunset not eliminate the asphyxiation virus, their own army was also infected.¡± ¡°This is too terrifying!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too terrifying. Even a hydrogen bomb can¡¯t destroy the asphyxiation virus.¡± No wonder Li Chengqian has always been against opening the port. He must have known long ago that the asphyxiation virus had not been eliminated, the leader for commerce thought to himself. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wang Kui¡¯s expression changed drastically. He said to Li Chengqian, ¡°Li Chengqian, quickly take the small planet magnetic plane into the sky to avoid being infected with the asphyxiation virus! Once it is stained with the virus, no matter how advanced the plane is, you have to give up and leave.¡± The small planet magnetic plane was very advanced. It was decades ahead of the existing technology of this world and could carry out decapitation strikes on other countries. However, once it was stained with the virus, it would be a disaster and a piece of trash. It was possible to bring the asphyxiation virus back to Divine Dragon. Neither Lin Tian nor Wang Kui would allow such a thing to happen. Once they confirmed that the small planet magnetic plane was stained with the virus, they would give it up no matter how advanced the plane was. ¡°Li Chengqian, quickly withdraw, fly the small planet magnetic plane back!¡± Lin Tian also spoke in an extremely serious tone. The asphyxiation virus was too terrifying. He could not allow it to enter the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s territory. ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± The main purpose of sending the small planet magnetic plane to Sunset was to obtain a live virus. A vaccine could only be developed with the live viruses. Vaccines were the only thing that could fight against the asphyxiation virus. This had been proven with the lives of billions of people in his previous life. Even if the hydrogen bomb in Sunset had eliminated all the viruses, the aliens could still continuously project the asphyxiation virus onto Earth through meteorites. It was impossible to get rid of the virus. The only way was to coexist with it. As Li Chengqian spoke, he remotely operated the small planet magnetic plane. In the end, the plane floated 500 meters above the military base to stay clear of the asphyxiation virus. Right on the heels of that, the plane opened the fuselage below. A coffin-like equipment and a robot slowly landed in the base by hoisting down from the cable. The coffin was a carrier specially developed for the asphyxiation virus. It was extremely well sealed. As long as the door was closed, even the asphyxiation virus could not escape from the coffin. ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you doing? Are you trying to bring the asphyxiation virus back?¡± ¡°Do you want to destroy our country?¡± Wang Kui¡¯s tone was extremely stern. ¡°Li Chengqian, fly the small planet magnetic plane into the active volcano in Sunset immediately. Destroy the plane and let the high temperature of the volcano kill the virus.¡± It hurt Lin Tian to say this. He was very reluctant to destroy the plane, but now that it had been stained with the asphyxiation virus, it had to be destroyed. ¡°The virus inactivation facilities on the small planet magnetic plane are very advanced. No microorganism can survive on the plane or outside the plane.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Li Chengqian was unmoved. The asphyxiation virus was very infectious for humans, but once it left the human body, it would die within a few minutes. Moreover, the asphyxiation virus was like all viruses. It was afraid of alcohol. As long as it was sprayed with 75% alcohol, the virus would die instantly. On the big screen, after the zombies heard the sound of the coffin falling to the ground, all the zombies turned around and ran towards the coffin like sharks that had smelled blood. The robot pressed on the coffin, and the lid of the coffin opened. Then, the robot operated at full power and rushed out quickly. It picked up a zombie and ran back quickly. The virus in the zombies was extremely terrifying for humans but had no effect on robots. After the robot threw the zombie into the coffin, the lid of the coffin instantly closed. Then, the robot pulled a tube from the cable. A large quantity of highly flammable liquid was sprayed out of the tube. All parts of the coffin, even underneath it, were sprayed with the liquid. A spark ignited, and the coffin was wrapped in flames. The robot¡¯s body was also wrapped in flames, and even the cable began to burn. As it burned, the plane began to levitate upward. At the same time, the cable kept recoiling. The burning coffin was like a torch. Soon, the flames burned out. Nozzles appeared under the plane, and highly effective sanitizing alcohol kept spraying out. The viruses on the cable, coffin, and robot were completely wiped out after the double sanitization of fire and alcohol. Li Chengqian had also prepared an isolation room in the fuselage. After the coffin was put in, the isolation room would continue to spray alcohol to ensure that all the viruses would be wiped out. On the surface of the plane, 2,500 nozzles had been set up. After the coffin was stored in the plane, the nozzles began to work. All parts of the plane would be covered in alcohol and disinfected to ensure that all the viruses were killed. Seeing that Li Chengqian put a corpse infected with the asphyxiation virus into the coffin. It seemed like he was preparing to bring it back. ¡°Li Chengqian, what are you trying to do? Do you want to bring the asphyxiation virus back to the Divine Dragon Country? Do you want to kill everyone?¡± Wang Kui thought of the scene of the asphyxiation virus erupting in the Divine Dragon and his heart turned cold. Wang Kui¡¯s words seemed to have woken the others up. Most of them gasped with fear in their eyes. Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Li Chengqian and Lin Tian. ¡°Li Chengqian, fly the small planet magnetic plane into the active volcano in Sunset immediately! This is an order. There¡¯s no room for negotiation.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s tone was firm. Nothing could compare to the safety of the lives of the 1.7 billion people in Divine Dragon. Not even the small planet magnetic plane! Now, in the coffin of the small planet magnetic plane was a corpse infected with the asphyxiation virus. The asphyxiation virus only needed five minutes to kill someone. It could spread within a 100-meter radius and not even a hydrogen bomb could eliminate it. This was an apocalyptic virus. Once the virus broke out in the Divine Dragon, the country would be destroyed, and the people would perish. On the big screen just now, Lin Tian saw the scene of fire and disinfection. However, what if the virus leaked? What if the virus was not completely eliminated? He did not dare to take the risk! After Lin Tian finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with extreme seriousness. Li Chengqian was still focused on controlling the small planet magnetic plane. He looked at the big screen as if he didn¡¯t hear what Lin Tian said. ¡°Wang Kui, immediately control Li Chengqian! Take over the small planet magnetic plane!¡± Lin Tian frowned and took a few steps back. He sighed in his heart and gave the order. Chapter 307 - 307 Hes a Lunatic 307 He¡¯s a Lunatic A large number of stony-faced soldiers surrounded Li Chengqian. Some soldiers even pulled out their guns and pointed them at Li Chengqian from afar, in case he wouldn¡¯t comply. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Everyone held their breaths and stared at Li Chengqian. Academician Lin Qu, who had come with him, saw this scene. He was anxious and worried. He was afraid that Li Chengqian would be impulsive, so he hurriedly shouted at Li Chengqian, ¡°Li Chengqian, cooperate with the soldiers. Don¡¯t do anything drastic.¡± When the senior management of the Divine Dragon Company saw this scene, their hearts were in their throats. Their eyes were filled with worry for Li Chengqian. At the same time, they were puzzled. ¡°Why would President Li do this?¡± Li Chengqian, who was surrounded by everyone, was not anxious at all. His Stamina Stats had already reached 130,000 points. Ordinary bullets could not hurt him. These soldiers were the elites of the Ministry of Defense. They were deadly mercenaries. They had always been unstoppable against ordinary people. But to Li Chengqian, they were nothing. Li Chengqian said calmly, ¡°The asphyxiation virus can infect animals! The birds in the sky and the fish in the water are all carriers of the virus.¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus will quickly die after being exposed in the air, but it can survive in water or even seawater.¡± ¡°Even if we take the strictest measures, in the end, the asphyxiation virus will definitely spread to the Divine Dragon Country.¡± ¡°Sunset used a hydrogen bomb in an attempt to wipe out the epidemic in the infected area! The result was plain for us to see! It did not work because the asphyxiation virus had already spread to the birds and was carried out of the area that was hit by the hydrogen bomb. The virus had contaminated the land and the waters, infected the insects on land, and polluted the water source.¡± ¡°I can say for sure that a large-scale asphyxiation virus infection will soon erupt in Sunset. Nine-nine percent of Sunset¡¯s population will die from this virus.¡± ¡°I can also say for sure that the asphyxiation virus will soon spread worldwide.¡± ¡°This is an inevitable problem.¡± ¡°This is destined to happen!¡± ¡°Once the asphyxiation virus breaks out in our country, only a few hundred thousand people in the entire Divine Dragon Country will survive.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was very deep, giving people a very sad feeling, as if Li Chengqian had seen that scene with his own eyes. Lin Tian¡¯s pupils constricted as a trace of shock flashed across his eyes. Only a few hundred thousand people could survive in the Divine Dragon Country? What was the difference between this and extinction? Lin Tian didn¡¯t believe what Li Chengqian said at all. He didn¡¯t dare to believe it, nor could he believe it. However, he knew that Li Chengqian definitely wouldn¡¯t spout nonsense. Since Li Chengqian said it, he definitely had a basis. ¡°Li Chengqian, don¡¯t talk nonsense. The asphyxiation virus is only in Sunset now. You haven¡¯t studied it at all. What evidence do you have to prove that the virus can infect other animals? That it can infect insects and survive in the water?¡± A person from the Ministry of Health challenged Li Chengqian loudly. ¡°Li Chengqian, since the asphyxiation virus is so terrifying, why do you still want to bring back a corpse infected with the virus? Do you want all of us Divine Dragon people to die?¡± Wang Kui also said loudly. After Lin Tian heard Li Chengqian¡¯s description, he said resolutely, ¡°Li Chengqian, the asphyxiation virus is too terrifying. I definitely can¡¯t allow it to appear in Divine Dragon Country!¡± ¡°Please bear with it for a while. After we have dealt with the issue of the small planet magnetic plane, we¡¯ll have a good chat.¡± ¡°Even if what you say is true¡­ the asphyxiation virus will erupt worldwide.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ll drag it out for as long as I can!¡± ¡°Every day we can drag will buy us an extra day of preparation.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to act recklessly.¡± When he said this, Lin Tian¡¯s tone had already become extremely stern. At this moment, the soldiers had already closed in on Li Chengqian. ¡°Li Chengqian, excuse us!¡± The chief security officer stretched out his hand, wanting to cuff Li Chengqian¡¯s hands behind his back. However, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t move at all. ¡°Eh, you¡¯re quite strong!¡± The chief security officer gritted his teeth and applied more force. But Li Chengqian still didn¡¯t move. ¡°Everyone, give me a hand. This guy is quite strong.¡± As the chief security officer called out, four soldiers went up to attempt to handcuff Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian still did not move. ¡°Heh, I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Immediately, eight soldiers rushed forward, attempting to handcuff Li Chengqian. It was still futile. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t move at all. His hands were like cast iron. ¡°Monster!¡± ¡°Could it be that Li Chengqian modified himself into a robot?¡± ¡°Is he still human?¡± Wang Kui¡¯s eyes widened. Eight soldiers could even lift a car. The soldiers used all their strength and their faces turned red, but Li Chengqian didn¡¯t move at all. Some soldiers did not believe it and wanted to push Li Chengqian to the ground, but Li Chengqian was like a steel pillar that was planted in concrete and couldn¡¯t be moved. His hands hung naturally, and wasn¡¯t affected by anything they did. He stood upright and didn¡¯t move at all. When the others saw this scene, fear appeared in their eyes. Even Lin Tian was shocked when he saw that the eight soldiers couldn¡¯t defeat the seemingly gentle and thin Li Chengqian. ¡°How can Li Chengqian be so strong! Even if he¡¯s made of iron, eight soldiers should be able to take care of him!¡± ¡°Let go!¡± Li Chengqian suddenly shouted. With a light swing of his body, the eight soldiers hanging onto his body were shaken away like feathers. This was only the result of Li Chengqian deliberately exerting minimal force. If Li Chengqian hadn¡¯t done so, he was afraid he might fling the soldiers too hard and too far, and they may die on impact. ¡°Li Chengqian, you¡¯d better cooperate¡­ Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite. You may get hurt!¡± The commander picked himself up, his face covered in dust. He pulled out his pistol and aimed at Li Chengqian. His tone was steely cold. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ve programmed the small planet magnetic plane. In the event that I die, the plane will fly to the most densely populated place in the Divine Dragon Country and release the corpse infected with the asphyxiation virus,¡± Li Chengqian said calmly. ¡°You¡¯ve witnessed the stealth capabilities of the small planet magnetic plane¡­ You can¡¯t detect it or stop it!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°Wang Dafa, put away your gun!¡± Wang Kui trembled as he immediately gave the order. If the gun went off, everyone would perish with Li Chengqian. Everyone turned pale when they heard what Li Chengqian said. They looked at Li Chengqian with fear in their eyes. Li Chengqian was simply a lunatic! ¡°Li Chengqian, let¡¯s talk things out! Don¡¯t be rash. Tell me, what exactly do you want? As long as you destroy the small planet magnetic plane, I¡¯ll agree to any condition.¡± The corners of Lin Tian¡¯s mouth twitched, and he cursed Li Chengqian in his heart. Not long ago, he thought that Li Chengqian was the greatest scientist in the history of humanity. ¡°Leader Tian, I just said that the asphyxiation virus can¡¯t be stopped. It won¡¯t be long before the virus erupts all over the world.¡± ¡°If it spreads, 99.99% of the people will die!¡± ¡°There¡¯s only one way to change this outcome¡­¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s words were incomparably serious. ¡°What?¡± Leader Tian was all ears now. The others agreed. In reality, when Li Chengqian told them about the tragic outbreak of the virus, they were actually skeptical and filled with fear. However, the asphyxiation virus was too terrifying. There was no way to defend against it, so they were unwilling to accept Li Chengqian¡¯s words. They were unwilling to believe that the future was so bleak. Now that Li Chengqian said that there was a way to escape this fate, it immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Chapter 308 - 308 Vaccine and Hydrogen Bomb Preparation 308 Vaccine and Hydrogen Bomb Preparation ¡°A vaccine!¡± ¡°The vaccine is our only hope!¡± Li Chengqian looked into Lin Tian¡¯s eyes and said seriously. ¡°One will die within 5 minutes of being infected with the asphyxiation virus.¡± ¡°The human body¡¯s immune system doesn¡¯t have time to react.¡± ¡°If you inject the vaccine in advance, it will produce virus antibodies in the body. The human immune system can then fight the asphyxiation virus the moment one is infected.¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Tian. ¡°So, you used the small planet magnetic plane to bring a corpse in so as to develop a vaccine? We will be alright once a vaccine has been developed.¡± Lin Tian finally understood why Li Chengqian did this. After knowing Li Chengqian¡¯s plans, Lin Tian heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. He had seen for himself earlier, his men couldn¡¯t subdue him with bare hands. Li Chengqian could crush everyone with his martial strength. It would be a disaster if he injured Li Chengqian with weapons. This was because he did not know where the small planet magnetic plane would transport the corpse. Divine Dragon would immediately be like Sunset once the corpse was brought into the country. The country would be destroyed¡­ ¡°Li Chengqian, we have a highly secured biological laboratory at the southwest border. There are a large number of experienced vaccine scientists there.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send you the address of the laboratory immediately. Send the corpse there directly.¡± Lin Tian gave the others a look. ¡°President Li, our biological laboratory is in the Great Western Region. The coordinates are 3.654¡­¡± A person stood up and told Li Chengqian the coordinates. All eyes were on Li Chengqian. He shook his head and said resolutely, ¡°Leader Tian, the asphyxiation virus is not an ordinary virus. Even the top experts in the world can¡¯t develop a vaccine for it within a short time.¡± ¡°It might even spread faster while they are trying to develop the vaccine.¡± ¡°The corpses obtained from Sunset will be transported directly to the new biological laboratory of the Divine Dragon Company. I will personally develop the vaccine.¡± In his previous life, after all the countries faced the outbreak of the asphyxiation virus, their initial choice was the same. That was to lock down and completely cut off communication with the outside world. They wanted to isolate the asphyxiation virus in the most rigorous way. At the same time, every country was working hard to develop a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. However, the asphyxiation virus was created by aliens. It was different from the viruses that originally existed on Earth. In the end, all the countries¡¯ efforts failed. Not only did they fail to develop a vaccine, but the experiment also caused the asphyxiation virus to spread faster. Therefore, how could Li Chengqian let Lin Tian arrange for someone else to develop the vaccine? Moreover, Li Chengqian had already bought the specific virus vaccine development technology from the Professions Mall. The biological research center had already been completed with the support of the construction robots. After obtaining the technology to develop a specific vaccine, he had already begun to prepare the relevant equipment. Currently, all the equipment had been installed in the biological research center. All preparation work for the biological research center had already been in place. They only needed to obtain a live virus to immediately start work. Lin Tian was stunned. The others heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words and felt the same. Li Chengqian had achieved astonishing results in internet technology, manufacturing, artificial intelligence, electromagnetic power, and batteries. However, they had never heard of Li Chengqian¡¯s achievement in virology. Li Chengqian¡¯s current fields of achievement had nothing to do with virology at all. ¡°No, Li Chengqian, viruses and vaccines require very professional knowledge, rich experience, and sufficiently advanced hardware as support.¡± Lin Tian couldn¡¯t help but remind him. ¡°Leader Tian, there are four universal methods in the world for vaccine development: live attenuated vaccines, inactivation vaccines, subunit vaccines, and viral vector vaccines¡­ However, none of these methods can produce an effective and harmless vaccine for the asphyxiation virus .¡± ¡°If I want to make a vaccine that can be used directly for the asphyxiation virus, I have to use another vaccine development method. This is a special technology that I¡¯ve just developed¡­¡± ¡°This technology can develop the vaccine in an extremely short period of time¡­ The vaccine produced basically has no side effects.¡± ¡°Even if the virus mutates, as long as the RNA mutation rate is less than 70%, the vaccine won¡¯t lose its effect.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already carried out the relevant experiments. Even if it was the HIV virus, we can also produce an effective vaccine using this vaccine technology!¡± Li Chengqian said as he operated on the big screen. A video of HIV vaccine production, injection, and other related experiments were pulled out. In the video, three days after the monkeys were injected with HIV vaccines, they wouldn¡¯t be infected with the HIV virus even if high concentrations of HIV were injected into their bodies. ¡°Is this for real?¡± Many people¡¯s eyes flashed with disbelief. HIV was publicly recognized as an incurable disease. Anyone infected with this virus could only wait for death! Moreover, it was a virus that humans had spent a lot of effort to develop a vaccine for. And everyone understood the reason why! This was because the HIV virus mutated too quickly, that was why an effective vaccine could not be developed. Now, Li Chengqian had actually developed an HIV vaccine! Desire flashed in many people¡¯s eyes! As long as the HIV vaccine developed by Li Chengqian was effective and safe, they were willing to give it a shot even if it cost 1,000 yuan a shot. Just in case! ¡°Of course!¡± Li Chengqian nodded affirmatively. In fact, the biological research center had just been built, and he had not carried out the production and testing of the HIV vaccine at all. The big screen displayed the virtual video that he had instructed the artificial intelligence, Bai Ze, to generate through AI. ¡°Next, we will also carry out trial work on vaccines such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, syphilis, and influenza virus to produce safer and more effective vaccines for the public to use.¡± Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian continued. ¡°After my research, I realized that cancer is actually an autoimmune disease. Through the production of a specific virus vaccine, our company might develop a vaccine against cancer next. It will remove the mutated cells in the body so that people won¡¯t develop cancer at all.¡± Li Chengqian was not spouting nonsense. The most fundamental reason for cancer was the genetic mutation of one¡¯s cells. As long as the immune system could recognize this mutation, it could directly kill the mutated cells and prevent humans from developing cancer. ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry. The small planet magnetic plane is an absolutely sealed space. There won¡¯t be a virus leak.¡± ¡°The coffin containing the corpse is also specially made. There¡¯s a vacuum isolation layer in the middle. The coffin is absolutely safe and won¡¯t leak!¡± ¡°The biological research center built by the Divine Dragon Company has a negative pressure supply port. Moreover, it was designed together with the coffin. The coffin will be directly sent in through the supply port. From the supply port, it will directly enter the sealed virus laboratory. It¡¯s impossible for the virus to leak.¡± Lin Tian was stunned after watching the video Li Chengqian. He had actually already produced an HIV vaccine! This was a technology that vaccine scientists and virologists around the world had worked hard for 30 years without a breakthrough. Li Chengqian developed it an instant! Then, when he heard Li Chengqian say that he wanted to carry out experiments on other virus vaccines, especially the flu virus, his expression became solemn. The influenza virus was also a virus that mutated very quickly. Most colds were caused by the influenza virus. If he could really develop a very effective influenza virus to eliminate the common cold and stop people from catching a cold, Li Chengqian would be regarded as a saint. When he heard Li Chengqian say that he also planned to develop a vaccine to prevent cancer, he simply couldn¡¯t believe what he had heard. If it was anyone else who said this, Lin Tian would definitely not believe it. It would definitely be nonsense. But these words were said by Li Chengqian, so it was different. Li Chengqian had said many shocking words, and never once had he failed. Li Chengqian had fulfilled his promise every time! Li Chengqian could even develop a small planet magnetic plane that transcended eras! Although Li Chengqian was just saying it, Lin Tian had already believed 90% of it. ¡°Leader Tian, I wonder if you¡¯re interested in coming with me to the biological research center to take a look at the development of the asphyxiation virus vaccine?¡± Seeing the look on Lin Tian¡¯s face, Li Chengqian felt that the time was right and immediately invited him. ¡°No need!¡± Lin Tian took a deep look at Li Chengqian and rejected his suggestion without hesitation. ¡°Li Chengqian, provide us with the flight trajectory of the small planet magnetic plane! We have to evacuate the civilians!¡± Lin Tian said seriously. ¡°Leader Tian, there¡¯s no need! The small planet magnetic plane will arrive 20,000 meters above the biological research center and then land directly at the center!¡± ¡°It won¡¯t affect the commoners along the way at all!¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. Lin Tianwei frowned imperceptibly. After some thought, he said, ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll get Wang Dashan to go to the biological research center with you.¡± ¡­ Lin Tian specially asked the head of security, Wang Dashan, to the side to explain. ¡°Wang Dashan, this is a very dangerous mission! Go with Li Chengqian. Report immediately once you find anything abnormal in the biological research center.¡± ¡°Even if there are no abnormalities, you have to provide an update every five minutes!¡± ¡°Yes, I promise to complete the mission,¡± Wang Dashan said firmly. Although Lin Tian did not state the ultimate goal of the mission, he had already guessed it. ¡°Go!¡± Wang Dashan boarded Li Chengqian¡¯s flying car and instantly disappeared into the clouds. Lin Tian¡¯s expression was extremely serious. He turned around and instructed Wang Kui, ¡°Inform the 81st battalion immediately! Prepare to release a hydrogen bomb! If anything abnormal happens, release a hydrogen bomb on the biological research center in ten minutes and destroy everything there.¡± ¡°Inform the civilians around the biological research center to evacuate immediately!¡± Chapter 309 - 309 I Have to Obtain Li Chengqians Understanding 309 I Have to Obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s Understanding Biological research center. The small planet magnetic plane had already descended from the clouds, but for some reason, the plane did not cancel its stealth function. In order to make the descent more stealthy, the aircraft descended extremely slowly. When Li Chengqian arrived in the flying car, the Divine Dragon Country¡¯s Ministry of Defense did not detect any movements. The soldiers stationed around the biological research center did not notice the appearance of the small planet magnetic plane. ¡°President Li, is there a problem with your plane? Why isn¡¯t it here yet?¡± Wang Dashan looked around the biological research center and above, but he didn¡¯t find the small planet magnetic plane. Wang Dashan looked around the roof of the biological research center again, but he did not find any trace of the small planet magnetic plane. He couldn¡¯t help but frown. Based on the speed of the small planet magnetic planet, it should have reached the biological research center long ago. ¡°Heh¡­¡± Li Chengqian smiled. He didn¡¯t say anything unnecessary, nor did he explain anything. He walked straight to the elevator of the biological research center. Wang Dashan hurriedly followed. After multiple verifications such as fingerprints, irises, voiceprints, and passwords, the elevator door opened. After more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the bottom level of the biological research center. Wang Dashan looked around vigilantly. He hadn¡¯t given up on trying to obtain the location information of the small planet magnetic plane. If they could shoot down the small planet magnetic plane before it reached the Divine Dragon Country, that would be the best outcome. Of course the vaccine had to be developed. However, it was too dangerous to develop a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus locally. If they wanted to develop a vaccine, it would be best to do so in another country. Li Chengqian wanted to develop a vaccine. The country would give him full support, but it would be better if he could change the time and place. This was the leaders¡¯ directive. Wang Dashan looked around after he came out of the elevator. A huge space appeared in front of him. In the hall, there were all kinds of instruments, computers, and a large number of robots working. On the other side of the hall, a huge screen was operating. On the big screen, a huge coffin was being opened by mechanical arms. Culture medium was being poured into the coffin. When Wang Dashan saw the coffin and the corpse, his eyes widened in shock. These were definitely the coffin and corpse on the small planet magnetic plane. It was exactly the same as the corpse that he saw on the small planet magnetic plane, which was taken from Sunset. ¡°President Li, is the big screen showing the internal surveillance of the small planet magnetic plane?¡± Wang Dashan asked solemnly. He still hadn¡¯t given up on finding out the location of the small planet magnetic plane. This was one of the missions his superior gave him. ¡°No, the image displayed on the big screen is the scene in the virus culture room of the biological research center¡­¡± Wang Dashan¡¯s jaw almost fell off his face. He was stunned, and disbelief flashed in his eyes. This was because the radar and spy satellite of the Ministry of Defence had been monitoring the biological research center. There were also many soldiers monitoring the surroundings. Even under such circumstances, Li Chengqian still silently sent the coffin and the corpse into the biological research center without being detected. This was simply too shocking! If Li Chengqian used such a method to send a nuclear bomb to the center of Divine Dragon Capital¡­ Thinking of this, Wang Dashan shuddered and looked at Li Chengqian with fear. The small planet magnetic plane was invincible and unstoppable! Li Chengqian wasn¡¯t bothered about Wang Dashan¡¯s reaction at all. He put on a brainwave receiver and kept entering lines of operating code into the central control computer. The virus culture technology development work began. The reproduction speed of the asphyxiation virus was already unbelievably fast. At this moment, it multiplied even faster in the specially prepared culture medium. Ten minutes later, the virus concentration in the culture medium met the requirements. Then, a huge portion of the culture medium was extracted, leaving a little bit behind. The extracted culture medium was sent through special machines before being poured into a flask. This was the finished product of the vaccine. The image on the big screen switched to a sealed laboratory. In the laboratory, in addition to a robot, there was also a monkey. The robot injected the vaccine it had just made into a monkey. The monkey scratched at the robot in extreme fear, as if he knew how terrifying this liquid was. Until the robot injected all the liquid into the monkey¡¯s body, the monkey¡¯s scratching did not affect the robot at all. ¡°What did you inject into the monkey just now?¡± Wang Dashan stared at the live broadcast and asked. ¡°The asphyxiation virus vaccine!¡± Li Chengqian stared at the dizzying data on the big screen and said. With the injection of the asphyxiation virus, the sensors implanted in the monkey¡¯s body did not fluctuate much. Ten hours later, the monkey used for the experiment was still alive and kicking. There was nothing abnormal. Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief. Although he knew that there wouldn¡¯t be any problems with the technology obtained from the Professions mall. However, the vaccine involved the fate of humanity. The consequences would be extremely serious if something went wrong. The human race might perish. The vaccine multiplied very quickly. Ten hours was enough for the body to produce enough antibodies. Then, Li Chengqian activated the next step, the asphyxiation virus infection experiment! A robot injected the monkey with the asphyxiation virus. Monkey grimaced in pain and scratched and bit the robot. ¡°How is it?¡± Wang Dashan followed Li Chengqian closely. He paid attention and learned about the preparation and experimental procedures of the vaccine from Li Chengqian. He knew that it was a critical moment now, so he also looked at the big screen very nervously. ¡°We conducted an experiment not long ago. Monkeys who were not injected with the asphyxiation vaccine started coughing one minute after being infected with the virus. They started coughing up blood three minutes later and died five minutes later¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s already been three minutes. The current situation looks pretty good¡­¡± Li Chengqian looked at the time and then at the situation on the big screen. The monkey was alive and kicking. He bared his teeth and kept attacking the robot, as if he was taking revenge. He did not show any abnormalities. An hour later, there was still nothing abnormal about the monkey. Moreover, the vengeful monkey was being held down by the robot. It pierced a needle into the monkey¡¯s blood vessel as it looked on in terror. A vial of blood was drawn and sent for testing. At this moment, Wang Dashan, who had been staring at the big screen, revealed an unconcealed smile. ¡°President Li, the monkey is fine! It¡¯s been an hour, but the monkey hasn¡¯t even coughed! I¡¯ve been watching without blinking.¡± ¡°The vaccine you¡¯re researching is effective! It¡¯s very effective!¡± Wang Dashan was very excited. His eyes were already bloodshot from staring at the screen. Wang Dashan knew very well how terrifying the asphyxiation virus was! Five minutes was enough to kill someone! As long as one was infected with the asphyxiation virus, they would definitely die. This was because the virus acted up too quickly. It was too late to save them even if they wanted to. The vaccine developed by Li Chengqian was the only hope. ¡°We can only say that the vaccine is effective for the time being and that we have completed some tests on animals.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not time to call it a success yet.¡± ¡°After the animal tests are completed, we still need to conduct human tests to ensure the safety of the vaccine! Tell the leaders to help prepare the test materials.¡± ¡°In addition to the test materials for the vaccine, I will send you a list of equipment and materials. Please send it to them together.¡± Li Chengqian looked at Wang Dashan calmly. Although Wang Dashan had done it very covertly, Li Chengqian had known from the beginning that Wang Dashan had been sending out updates. This was a good thing. He wanted to let the leaders know the progress of the tests in case they decided unilaterally to throw a few hydrogen bombs because they didn¡¯t know about the progress they were making here. Therefore, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t stop him. When Wang Dashan saw Li Chengqian walk towards the rest area, he went to a corner and began sending updates on the situation. ¡°Number One, this is the biological research center¡­ I¡¯m Wang Dashan¡­¡± ¡°The vaccine has been successfully developed. It has been tested on a monkey. The lunatic now wants to conduct tests on human beings. He is asking for test materials¡­¡± ¡°Apart from the test materials, Li Chengqian also provided a list of items he needed. I¡¯ll send it to you.¡± At a certain base, after receiving the updates from Wang Dashan, Lin Tian and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. They had thought of many possibilities. The virus leakage, vaccine ineffectiveness, and other related possibilities, but he had never thought that Li Chengqian would actually develop a vaccine for the terrifying asphyxiation virus in just one experiment. ¡°That¡¯s great! We strongly support Li Chengqian¡¯s experiment! We¡¯ll give him whatever he wants!¡± Soon, Lin Tian was overjoyed. With the asphyxiation virus vaccine, after inoculating everyone, they could defeat the terrifying virus and life in the Divine Dragon Country can go back to normal. In an instant, the crisis of the Divine Dragon Country would be resolved. Even if Li Chengqian had asked for a mine, Lin Tian would give it to him without hesitation, not to mention supporting test materials. ¡°Tell Wang Dashan that I want to talk to Li Chengqian! Please ask him to pass on the message, but you must respect Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion. If the call will affect his work, then forget it.¡± Lin Tian felt that he had to talk to Li Chengqian to resolve some of the previous misunderstandings. Moreover, he needed to fully respect Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion! The hastily assembled group of virologists were incredulous when they heard that Li Chengqian had successfully developed the vaccine. If the vaccine was so easy to develop, then the A, B, C, and D hepatitis virus vaccine would have been successfully developed long ago. The syphilis vaccine, HIV vaccine and the influenza vaccine would have been successfully developed! It was extremely difficult to develop a vaccine! Other than the hepatitis vaccine, research on the other vaccines had basically not produced any results. ¡°Wait, I understand. It must be that the nature of the asphyxiation virus is similar to the hepatitis virus, so the manufacture of this vaccine is basically the same as the manufacture of the hepatitis A and B vaccine! As long as the asphyxiation virus is inactivated, an effective inactivated vaccine can be formed. This is the simplest way to prepare the virus vaccine.¡± A virologist seemed to have grasped the situation. ¡°I see!¡± ¡°To think that Li Chengqian had developed the vaccine ahead of us.¡± Some virologists looked regretful, as if someone else had beaten them to a prize. ¡°The only characteristic of the asphyxiation virus is that it splits faster and is more lethal. It¡¯s not much different from other viruses.¡± The seriousness on the team leader¡¯s face had disappeared as he said with a relaxed expression. ¡°Since we¡¯ve already verified that we can develop a vaccine with the inactivated viruses, the next step is easy.¡± ¡°Even our school¡¯s laboratory can produce a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus.¡± A trace of smugness flashed in Huang Tingyi¡¯s eyes. Unlike Huang Tingyi and the others, Lin Tian waited nervously for Li Chengqian¡¯s reply after making the arrangements. When they were at the Divine Dragon Factory, Lin Tian arranged for the security guards to subdue Li Chengqian and even tried to seize control of the small planet magnetic plane. Moreover, with Li Chengqian¡¯s intelligence, he would definitely understand why Wang Dashan was asked to follow him. Although there was a reason for this, Lin Tian was afraid that Li Chengqian would bear a grudge. Now that Li Chengqian had basically completed the development of the vaccine, he had to show his sincerity by saying something. If necessary¡­ He would even¡­ apologize! He also wanted to obtain Li Chengqian¡¯s understanding. Chapter 310 - 310 Cold Sweat 310 Cold Sweat Huang Tingyi thought that this was a good opportunity to claim credit from Lin Tian, so he found an excuse to go to Lin Tian and said respectfully. ¡°Leader Tian, in fact, the asphyxiation virus is not scary. The development of the vaccine is also very simple.¡± ¡°A large number of vaccines can be prepared as long as the live vaccines have been inactivated.¡± ¡°The only difficulty is the quarantine level of the production lab and the problem of leakage during transportation.¡± ¡°Our country has more than twenty P3 biological laboratories that completely meet the conditions to produce vaccines.¡± ¡°As long as proper measures are taken during transportation, there won¡¯t be any leaks.¡± ¡°We have all the conditions to produce vaccines,¡± Huang Tingyi said confidently. He sounded as if he had already found a way to duplicate the vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. Lin Tian didn¡¯t say anything. The secretary beside him immediately spoke after hearing Huang Tingyi¡¯s words. ¡°Although the reason why Li Chengqian transported a corpse infected with the asphyxiation virus to the country was because he needed to develop a vaccine, he disobeyed your instructions, failed to keep you updated on the situation, and acted recklessly on his own. He even disregarded you¡­¡± ¡°His greatest value was the vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. Now that we have mastered the capabilities to duplicate the vaccine, he is no longer that valuable to us.¡± A fierce look flashed in the secretary¡¯s eyes. Li Chengqian disregarded everyone and didn¡¯t respect authority. This made him very uncomfortable. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Although Li Chengqian¡¯s method is a little rough, he¡¯s doing it to develop a vaccine. His intentions are good.¡± Lin Tian shook his head. He had a deeper understanding than the others. Li Chengqian¡¯s strength was not only in vaccines, but also in aircrafts that could not be detected, robots that could be used in actual combat, and fruits that could energize people. He also had the various technological products of the Divine Dragon Company. These were all things that made Li Chengqian valuable! Lin Tian was angry that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t listen to his orders and brought back the infected corpse. However, the outcome was good. Li Chengqian¡¯s intentions were also good, so Lin Tian didn¡¯t continue to pursue the matter. Lin Tian was magnanimous this way. Although Huang Tingyi spoke confidently that it was very simple to duplicate the vaccine for the asphyxiation virus, Lin Tian knew that without Li Chengqian¡¯s guidance, it would not be so simple for Huang Tingyi to develop the vaccine himself. However, it was a good thing that the country had control over the development and production of vaccines. Naturally, Lin Tian had to support it. As long as the country could produce the vaccine, Li Chengqian would be a tad less important. ¡°In a month, I want to see the vaccine.¡± ¡°I promise to complete the mission.¡± Huang Tingyi smiled. As long as this matter was well accomplished, his reputation would immediately change from an academician to a world-renowned expert. He would have a place in history. At his age, this was what he valued the most. Just as Huang Tingyi was in high spirits, Wang Jiang, an expert who came with Huang Tingyi, received an update on his phone. ¡°Everyone in an advanced biological laboratory in Sunset has been infected while they were developing a vaccine using a deactivated virus.¡± Wang Jiang and Huang Tingyi were not on good terms to begin with, and they have had disagreements at work. He looked at Huang Tingyi, who was smug and making various arrangements. He raised his phone and said loudly. ¡°Leader Tian, I have something to report.¡± ¡°Sunset followed the route proposed by Academician Huang Tingyi for research. The research failed, and the inactivated virus vaccine was still infectious, causing the entire laboratory to be infected. Everyone at the lab died.¡± Wang Jiang explained the situation in detail. After listening to Wang Jiang¡¯s report, everyone broke out in cold sweat. The way they looked at Huang Tingyi changed. This was because the technology route chosen by Sunset was exactly the same as what Huang Tingyi had proposed. In the end, they suffered heavy losses, proving that this technology route was not feasible. If Huang Tingyi was allowed to continue, he might repeat the tragedy of Sunset. Huang Tingyi¡¯s face fell. ¡°How is that possible? This is how Li Chengqian developed the vaccine¡­¡± This result was completely different from the situation in the most advanced laboratory in Sunset. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± ¡°Why is this happening?¡± Huang Tingyi¡¯s face was gloomy. He knew that with the precedent of Sunset¡¯s failure, Lin Tian would not let him continue to try. Lin Tian was also secretly glad that he didn¡¯t do anything drastic to Li Chengqian because of Huang Tingyi and the secretary¡¯s words. However, in his heart, the impression of Huang Tingyi and the secretary had changed. The way he looked at them was no longer gentle. After some thought, Lin Tian began to arrange Wang Jiang¡¯s work. ¡°Wang Jiang, you¡¯ll be in charge of the research and preparation of the virus vaccine.¡± ¡°The focus of the work has changed.¡± ¡°The main job is to verify the effectiveness of the vaccine. As long as it passes the safety verification, the vaccine produced by Divine Dragon will be procured and used in large quantities.¡± Huang Tingyi was suddenly in a daze. Although his name wasn¡¯t mentioned, it was clear that he was out of the picture. ¡°Also, pay attention to your methods when you¡¯re working. Li Chengqian is a science genius and has achieved unparalleled achievements in all aspects. However, he¡¯s still young and his way of dealing with things isn¡¯t mature enough. We have to respect talents and build a good relationship with him,¡± Lin Tian instructed. ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry!¡± Wang Jiang nodded to show that he understood. ¡­ In the biological laboratory, animal tests continued. The results were very good. Animals that had been vaccinated were completely immune to the asphyxiation virus. The terrifying virus had no effect on them at all. In order to verify the effectiveness of the vaccine, Li Chengqian even used a small planet magnetic plane to send the animals who had been vaccinated directly to the area in Sunset where the pandemic was the most severe. There was still no problem. In the biology research institute, Li Chengqian and Wang Dashan sat opposite each other in the office. ¡°Wang Dashan, the results of animal tests are very good. The vaccine is very successful on animals.¡± Wang Dashan nodded. He had followed Li Chengqian the entire time. He had personally witnessed all the tests. He was stunned by the effect of the vaccine. ¡°Time is tight now, and animal tests can only be done to this extent¡­ What we have to do next is human tests!¡± ¡°I¡¯d like to hear your opinion.¡± ¡°Are we going to Sunset to do the human tests? Or is our country doing it ourselves?¡± Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said slowly. ¡°If we go to Sunset to do it, we need to provide the vaccine to them. If we do it ourselves, we need the support of the country to provide test materials,¡± Li Chengqian explained when he saw Wang Dashan¡¯s puzzled expression. Wang Dashan¡¯s expression immediately turned solemn. ¡°I need to ask for instructions before I can give you an answer.¡± ¡°Please¡­ but you have to be quick. Time is of the essence.¡± Li Chengqian made a gesture inviting him to go. Of course, he knew that Wang Dashan had no authority to make a decision. Wang Dashan was only a messenger. The one who really made the decision was the Leader. Wang Dashan did not stand on ceremony and left the office directly. He immediately reported the question that Li Chengqian had raised and the situation in the laboratory to the Leader. Watching Wang Dashan walk out, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze was faint. The asphyxiation virus was just a casual attack from the aliens. In his previous life, the human race was almost wiped out. In this life, Li Chengqian would not let history repeat itself. ¡°This time, it¡¯s my turn!¡± Chapter 311 - 311 The Aliens Biological Weapon 311 The Aliens¡¯ Biological Weapon Not long after Wang Dashan sent Li Chengqian¡¯s message, he received a reply from Leader Tian. ¡°Make an appointment with Li Chengqian. I want to see him. I want to talk to him personally and hear his opinion.¡± This short sentence showed how much Leader Tian valued Li Chengqian. Early the next morning, in the Great Buckthorn fruit plantation inside the Divine Dragon Company industrial park. Fiery red Great Buckthorn fruits hung from the branches. In the plantation, Li Chengqian and Lin Tian sat on the tour bus and slowly advanced. There were only the two of them in the plantation. It was a driverless vehicle. ¡°Li Chengqian, I want to hear your opinion.¡± Leader Tian had a relaxed smile on his face, but his eyes were serious. This choice was very important. In Lin Tian¡¯s opinion, it could determine the direction of the world. ¡°How you choose depends on your mood.¡± Li Chengqian smiled and threw the ball back into Lin Tian¡¯s court again. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you so sure that Sunset can¡¯t develop a vaccine?¡± Lin Tian looked at Li Chengqian intently. Sunset was the most advanced country in the world in biotechnology. Divine Dragon had tried hard to catch up over the years, but it had only surpassed Sunset in very few aspects. In terms of biotechnology, there was still a huge gap between Sunset and Divine Dragon Country. If the Divine Dragon Country was given another ten years to develop, it might be able to catch up with Sunset! Lin Tian knew this better than anyone else. ¡°I¡¯m sure that Sunset will definitely not be able to develop it!¡± Li Chengqian said firmly. If Sunset could develop a vaccine, it would have been used in his previous life. Unfortunately, in his previous life, the people of Sunset were the same as other countries. They could not withstand the first wave of attacks from the aliens and most of them died at the hands of the asphyxiation virus. If not for the professions in the Masters of All Professions game, Li Chengqian wouldn¡¯t even dare to say that he could develop a vaccine, not even if he was given ten more chances. The vaccine technology obtained from the Professions mall seemed very simple, but in fact, it was hundreds of years ahead of Earth¡¯s technology. Many technologies were fields that humans had yet to study. When Lin Tian heard Li Chengqian¡¯s words, he nodded. He already had a plan. His expression was solemn. ¡°Li Chengqian, I¡¯ll provide the materials for the human vaccine human tests!¡± ¡°After confirming the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, we need to immunize the entire country immediately.¡± ¡°Forget about Sunset. If they can¡¯t develop a vaccine, that¡¯s their fate. They have no one to blame.¡± Li Chengqian nodded, a trace of admiration in his eyes. ¡°We¡¯ll do as you say.¡± In actual fact, Li Chengqian had the same intention. The asphyxiation virus was an alien weapon. If all of humanity were vaccinated, the aliens would soon realize it and would quickly organize another wave of attack. It would even accelerate the extinction of humans. Allowing Sunset to be infected by the virus could distract the aliens and give Li Chengqian time to develop his response. ¡°Leader Tian, regarding the asphyxiation virus vaccine, I have a condition. Please agree to it,¡± Li Chengqian said solemnly. ¡°Tell me.¡± Lin Tian also became serious. ¡°The matter of the asphyxiation virus vaccine has to be kept a top secret!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let anyone else know about the asphyxiation virus vaccine except for those who already know about the current situation.¡± ¡°When it¡¯s time to vaccinate the entire population, we definitely can¡¯t call it the asphyxiation virus vaccine!¡± ¡°This is very important! We can call it the influenza virus vaccine.¡± Li Chengqian was very serious. He looked at Lin Tian seriously but didn¡¯t say the reason for doing this. In fact, the reason was very simple. It was to distract the aliens. Did the aliens arrange spies in human society? Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Tian agreed without thinking. The two of them chatted for a while before Lin Tian left in a good mood. Li Chengqian had a smile on his face as he sent Lin Tian to the car. When he returned to the office, he muttered in his heart. ¡°Personal interface.¡± Immediately, Li Chengqian¡¯s personal interface appeared in front of him. Name: Li Chengqian Civilization Level: Civilization within the planet Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points) Strength: 300,000 / 300,000 (Average adult strength: 10 points) Agility: 38/19 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 9 (Advanced), Worker level 9 (Advanced), Software Engineer level 1, University Student Level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 9 (Advanced) Student Profession Skills: 1. Focus (Master) 2. Passive Elementary School Knowledge (Master) 3. Passive Junior High School Knowledge (Master) 4. Passive Senior High School Knowledge (Master) 5. Rational Thinking (Master) Farmer Profession Skills: 1. Passive Endurance (Master) 2. Reclamation (Master) 3. Planting (Master) 4. Harvesting (Master) 5. Passive Strength (Master) Worker Profession Skills: 1. Agility (Master) 2. Passive Tool Mastery (Master) 3. Expedited Processing (Master) 4. Measurement Accuracy (Master) 5. Manufacturing Principles (Master) Software Engineer Skills: 1. Mental Coding (Master) 2. Code optimization (Master) 3. Strong Artificial Intelligence (Master) University Student Skills: 1. Rapid Learning (Master) 2. Rapid Understanding (Master) 3. Comprehensive Integration and Application (Master) Farm Owner Skills: 1. Cultivation (Master) 2. Rare Treasure (Master) 3. Automated Farm (Master) Experience value points: 31.5 billion Student profession, Farmer profession, Worker profession, Software Engineer profession, University Student profession, Farm Owner profession, and other professions had already reached the highest level. Moreover, the upgraded professions of the University Student profession and the Farm Owner profession had also appeared. All profession Skills were maxed out. His experience value points had also reached 30 billion. His personal interface was very grand and luxurious. Without thinking, Li Chengqian opted to advance his profession. After the University Student profession, the next upgrade is to the Scholar profession. There was no end to learning! The Scholar profession further strengthened Li Chengqian¡¯s learning ability, reducing the price of knowledge that Li Chengqian had to pay in the Professions mall, and increasing Li Chengqian¡¯s research and development ability. This allowed Li Chengqian to develop new technologies at an extremely fast speed using existing knowledge. After the Farm Owner profession, the next upgrade is the Space Farmer. He would have the ability to nurture space crops. At the same time, he would also have the ability to transform a desolate planet into one that could grow crops. Li Chengqian frowned slightly after reading the introduction of the two advanced professions. Both professions were very powerful. If there were no alien invasions, Li Chengqian was confident that with these two professions and the Skills, he could set foot on other planets to grow vegetables in ten years. However, the current situation could not allow him to develop slowly. He had to master the power to protect himself. The asphyxiation virus was only the first wave of attacks from the aliens, and it was also the weakest wave. It was an entry-level weapon in the aliens¡¯ biological weapons arsenal. If he guessed correctly, coming up next would be a storm and even more terrifying weapons would be used. Li Chengqian remembered that other than the asphyxiation virus, the most powerful method of the aliens was genetic modification and mutation. In his previous life, after 99.99% of the humans on Earth were extinct, animals and plants were mutated. Many extremely ferocious and mythical creatures appeared. These mutated creatures were the result of aliens¡¯ modification. In the face of these mutated creatures, the weapons and armor on Earth were just child¡¯s play. Chapter 312 - 312 Knowledge Exchange, Destruction of Sunset 312 Knowledge Exchange, Destruction of Sunset After Lin Tian and Li Chengqian finished their discussion, very quickly, the top virologists, doctors, nurses, and researchers in the country came to Li Chengqian¡¯s biological laboratory. Li Chengqian was glad to have help. He handed the tedious vaccine testing work to the team leader, Wang Jiang. Wang Jiang took his new role very seriously, the way newcomers were eager to make their presence felt. Moreover, the asphyxiation virus vaccine was very important. He quickly began the testing work. Li Chengqian searched the Professions mall after he got back to his office. ¡°Kinetic energy weapons and laser arms!¡± These two were powerful weapons that could be manufactured within a year. ¡°The ability to manage planetary resources!¡± If he wanted to mobilize all kinds of resources in an extremely short period of time and carry out arms production, he needed the ability to manage efficiently. The current national system clearly could not meet this requirement. ¡°The Star Radar Detection System provides the ability to detect one¡¯s enemies.¡± ¡°An efficient energy system is also needed to support the use of the various arms systems.¡± The ability to discover the enemy¡¯s abilities was the most important. If one couldn¡¯t discover the enemy, it would be useless even if the arms were powerful. Li Chengqian selected a batch of usable technologies and professions in the Professions mall. Kinetic weapon research (from electromagnetic rifle to light speed cannon) required 18 billion experience value points. An introduction to the research of super laser weapons and stellar cannons required 20 billion experience value points. It contains technical information ranging from the most basic laser guns to laser stellar cannons. The guidelines for the construction of the 18th generation controlled artificial solar system required 8 billion experience value points. This was a mature controlled nuclear fusion system. As long as a fusion power station was built, it could satisfy the power needs of the world. The planetary-level powerful artificial intelligence management system required 5 billion experience value points. It could monitor the status of one billion people and control five billion robots at the same time. At the same time, it was a super intelligent system that could process trillions of information. Its computing ability was extremely strong. As long as a target was set in the system, it could drive the power of the entire planet to complete the target. The construction specifications for the quantum radar detection system in the galaxy required 35 billion EXP experience value points. The quantum radar system could monitor the entire solar system, and would detect anything as soon as it appeared at the edge of the solar system and would send an early warning. Based on normal technology development patterns, the technologies that Li Chengqian chose might take hundreds or thousands of years to be developed. There were many technologies in the Professions mall that were more advanced than these. However, with Earth¡¯s current productivity, even if he had bought these related technologies, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to produce them. Just like the technology to produce chips for the primitives, it was impossible for the primitives to produce them. It was useless even if they were given to them. The technologies that Li Chengqian had chosen were limited by Earth¡¯s current productivity, technologies that could be produced with Earth¡¯s productivity. After choosing the technologies he wanted to exchange for, Li Chengqian turned to look at his personal interface. Li Chengqian frowned when he saw the experience value points he had, they were still quite lacking. ¡°I only have 31.5 billion experience value points. It¡¯s impossible to do it in one go.¡± Li Chengqian chose to exchange his points for this. The experience value points on his personal interface was reduced by 8 billion points, leaving only 23.5 billion points. ¡°I will absorb all the knowledge at one go! I won¡¯t absorb this knowledge for the time being.¡± Li Chengqian muttered in his heart. Li Chengqian had only just discovered this function not long ago. When exchanging for many technologies at once, he could opt to absorb all the knowledge at one go, after he has acquired all the technologies. ¡°The planetary-level strong AI Management System must be acquired. If we build the nuclear fusion power station without increasing productivity, it might take decades to complete!¡± The planetary-level strong AI Management System was also a necessary knowledge for Li Chengqian. With the help of this System, he only needed to give the order, and the System would mobilize all the resources that could be mobilized to complete Li Chengqian¡¯s order in the shortest time possible. ¡°Leave the construction of the fusion power station to Lin Tian!¡± ¡°He can be given secondary rights to the planetary-level strong AI Management System.¡± The construction of the fusion power plant requires the power of the country. Li Chengqian alone was not enough. Hundreds of thousands of people, or perhaps, even millions of people need to work hard to achieve this, and countless industries need to be involved too. The best option is for the state to drive this project. ¡°Once the planetary-level strong AI Management System is activated, a lot of people will be affected. A powerful force is required to push it through, and even more so, a powerful force is needed to guarantee the widespread implementation of the System.¡± Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. With this System, other than a very small number of decision makers, everyone else would become staff. Everyone¡¯s mission would be assigned by the System. This was a necessary way to increase efficiency. Many people¡¯s territory would be encroached on. Many people would lose their rights and privileges. Severing someone¡¯s authority was akin to killing someone¡¯s parents, or removing someone¡¯s lifeblood. Bad things might happen. Therefore, he had to have powerful arms to guarantee the implementation of the planetary-level strong AI Management System. ¡°Kinetic energy weapons! Combat robots.¡± This was the guarantee Li Chengqian would give to Lin Tian. ¡°Exchange for kinetic energy weapons research (from electromagnetic rifles to light speed cannons)!¡± Immediately, Li Chengqian only had 500 million experience value points left on his personal interface. Then, Li Chengqian lay down on the bed. He put on the upgraded brainwave receiver on his head and found a comfortable position to lie down. He muttered in his heart, ¡°Absorb knowledge.¡± Immediately, a large amount of knowledge appeared out of thin air in Li Chengqian¡¯s memory. Fortunately, Li Chengqian¡¯s body was unbelievably strong because he had consumed a rare treasure. Otherwise, his head might explode from the vast amount of knowledge. ¡­ While Li Chengqian absorbed the knowledge, there was a massive outbreak of asphyxiation virus in Sunset. Zombies infected by the asphyxiation virus appeared in all states, and in an extremely short period of time, the number of infected people increased exponentially. No one dared to get close to the zombies. It was useless even if they got close and killed the zombies, because as long as they got close, they would be infected and die from the asphyxiation virus. The management system in Sunset completely collapsed. Along with it, law and order collapsed. The rich and powerful had already evacuated from Sunset. The people of the Sunset were merely production tools of the tycoons and leaders. They were instantly abandoned. Very quickly, there was severe disruption of essential services, leaving the affected population without access to basic necessities such as water, electricity, food, and internet.¡± Those who stayed in their homeland went crazy from despair. The dark side of human nature is revealed at this moment, with looting, killings and shootings. Women and children were trampled on, and they wailed in the midst of chaos. Everyday in Sunset, more people died at the hands of their own kind than at the hands of the asphyxiation virus. What happened in Sunset went viral on the internet. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The countries that initially took in tycoons and leaders from Sunset stopped doing so after seeing these scenes on the internet. In the past, with Sunset as their backer, no one dared to disrespect them. But now, Sunset had already collapsed under the attack of the asphyxiation virus. Without Sunset as their backer, these rich people and executives who used to show off were nothing. Black Country and Sunset bordered each other. In the past, Sunset had built an astonishingly long wall at the border in order to prevent the people of Black Country from entering. The world¡¯s largest quarantine net had been erected on the wall. The only entrances through the wall were the three doors that had been specially left open. The doors were usually heavily guarded on Sunset¡¯s side. They would gun down anyone who tried to enter Sunset. At this moment, in front of the largest gate in the wall, a world-famous tycoon from Sunset looked at the closed gate in front of him and said to the soldiers from Black Country who were on sentry duty, ¡°I made a deal with your Prime Minister. He promised to let me enter the country. Please open the door.¡± The soldiers of Black Country were 200 meters away from the door. They were wearing sealed protective suits and their sniper rifles were aimed at the door. ¡°People of Sunset, go back. You¡¯re not allowed to enter!¡± The soldier¡¯s voice was cold and rough. ¡°F*ck, I invested 300 million Sunset dollars in your country. Your Prime Minister promised to let me enter the country!¡± Seeing that the soldier was still unmoved, the tycoon frowned and cursed. ¡°You idiots, open the door and let me through.¡± BANG! The Sunset tycoon¡¯s head exploded like a watermelon. A shot was fired. The soldier on the sentry duty had a cold expression on his face. He cursed with his companion, ¡°Sunset has already destroyed our country, yet they still dare to curse at us. I wonder who gave them the courage to curse at me. They have a death wish!¡± ¡°Alright, cheer up and be more vigilant. According to the instructions from above, no one from Sunset is allowed to enter Black Country!¡± ¡°Kill all those who want to enter our country!¡± ¡°An asphyxiation virus pandemic has erupted in their country. This virus is incurable. We can¡¯t let the Sunset people transmit the virus to our country.¡± ¡°We have to fight for our families!¡± Chapter 313 - 313 One Person One Gun, Like an Elite Force 313 One Person One Gun, Like an Elite Force Three weeks later, small superconducting spiral air-powered pistols were produced on a production line. Li Chengqian named the pistol New Age Model 1. It was about the size of a Type 95 pistol and weighed 2 kg. Using a graphite super battery as a power source, it had a full load of 300 rounds and a firing speed of 60 rounds per minute. It had an effective range of 1,000 meters and a Laser Targeting and Amplification System. It could accurately hit targets within 500 meters. The current production line can produce 10,000 air-powered pistols per day. This was an entry-level air-powered pistol. The raw materials needed to produce it were easily available, and the technology was not complicated. As for the others, such as the single soldier power cannon, anti-aircraft machine gun, satellite cannon, and planetary power cannon, because the technology was too complicated, it was impossible to produce them with the current production line. They could only be produced after the existing production line was upgraded. Under Li Chengqian¡¯s lead, Wang Dashan followed in a confused state. Wang Dashan¡¯s mission had already been accomplished, and Wang Jiang had already taken over the work of the vaccine. However, Lin Tian did not let him go back. Instead, he asked him to tag along with Li Chengqian. ¡°President Li, why did you bring me here?¡± ¡°I brought you here to try out the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s new product.¡± Li Chengqian had a mysterious smile on his face. Then, he pressed a button on the production line. Immediately, a small New Age Model 1 pistol landed in his hand. Gun! It was a gun! The Divine Dragon had extremely strict gun controls. It was very difficult for people to obtain guns privately. Even if it was a wealthy tycoon, it was not easy to obtain a gun in the Divine Dragon. Wang Dashan¡¯s expression immediately became solemn. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian. ¡°President Li, what do you mean? Why do you have a gun?¡± Based on Wang Dashan¡¯s experience, this was a newly produced gun! It was obvious that this gun was produced by the Divine Dragon Company. This was what Wang Dashan was worried about. If there was one, it meant that there would be a second one, and then countless¡­ What was Li Chengqian trying to do? With the guns pointed at him, and the ruthless robotic eyes staring at him, Wang Dashan was so nervous he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing that Wang Dashan had calmed down, Li Chengqian waved his hand and the robots disappeared. ¡°I just want you to test the combat ability of the New Age Model 1 with me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a firearms expert. I want to hear your opinion.¡± Li Chengqian placed a gun directly into Wang Dashan¡¯s hand and pointed at the target that had been built long in advance. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡± The other brand new gun was held in Li Chengqian¡¯s hand. He aimed at the target opposite him and began to shoot. Swoosh! The sound of the bullet¡¯s sonic boom was extremely sharp, and balls of white fog appeared at the muzzle. The bullet penetrated the bullseye 100 meters away and hit the titanium alloy protection plate specially placed behind the target. Although the sound of the sonic boom was sharp, it was much softer than ordinary firearms. Moreover, during the firing process, there was almost no recoil. The accuracy can be sustained longer than that of traditional firearms. With the small magnifying scope installed on the gun, Wang Dashan could clearly see that the bullseye was riddled with holes. He was extremely shocked. ¡°Terrifying! Even an ordinary person without training would be able to master the usage of a pistol in an extremely short period of time. This pistol can cause extremely great harm. It¡¯s too terrifying¡­¡± Traditional firearms required a large amount of training. As for the pistol provided by Li Chengqian, it had almost no recoil. One could shoot wherever it pointed by aiming through a magnifying scope. The advent of such weapons would change the way the army trained and fought. It would be a disaster if the pistol was available in society. ¡°100-meter target, marksman No. 1, 10 shots. Marksmanship score: 9.8 points!¡± ¡°Next, we¡¯ll conduct the 500-meter target test!¡± At this moment, a mechanical announcement came. The 100-meter target and the potholed titanium alloy protection plate behind it retracted to the ground. In the distance, an ant-sized target appeared. Even with Wang Dashan¡¯s eyesight, he could only see a black dot and not the number of rings on the target. Wang Dashan looked through the scope on his pistol. The target had changed from the size of an ant to the size of a green bean. It was impossible to see the number of rings on the target. At this distance, other than sniper rifles, there was no possibility of any other firearms hitting the target. With this strange pistol, the probability of hitting was not high. Thinking of this, Wang Dashan heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, Li Chengqian said, ¡°Let¡¯s continue testing the pistol on the 500-meter target.¡± ¡°Adjust the pistol to 500 meters first!¡± Li Chengqian signaled Wang Dashan. He pressed a bulge on the side of the pistol, and the number at the top of the scope became 500! The ant-sized target appeared in front of him through the magnifying scope. It was extremely clear. Li Chengqian held his breath as the red laser pointer stabilized on the 10th ring in the center. He then pulled the trigger. Swoosh! Through the scope, a huge hole appeared in the bullseye. On the other side, after Wang Dashan adjusted himself, he was stunned. Adjusting the magnifying scope required changing the scope. This was common sense, but Li Chengqian¡¯s gun defied this common sense. He pressed a button and increased the magnification of the scope. To him, this was a legendary ability. With this ability, the actual combat ability of this pistol had increased by at least ten times. Not only could it be used as a pistol, but with the amount of ammunition and firing speed, it could also be used as a rifle. After switching to the magnifying scope, it could also be used as a sniper rifle. With Li Chengqian¡¯s pistol, he could adapt to any situation. Swoosh! ¡­ Soon, the mechanical voice reported Wang Dashan¡¯s marksmanship results. ¡°100-meter target, marksman No. 1, 10 shots. Marksmanship score: 9.8 points!¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying that such accuracy levels could be achieved.!¡± Wang Dashan was even more shocked. When he was firing just now, he pulled the trigger to fire 10 shots consecutively. If he had fired the shots one by one, his results would be even more impressive. ¡°The 1,000-meter target test!¡± ¡°Switch to 1,000-meter marksmanship mode!¡± The 1,000-meter target could no longer be seen clearly with the naked eye, but according to Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions, after pressing a button on the pistol, the target appeared in front of him again through the scope. It was no different from the 500-meter target. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh¡­ ¡°1000-meter target, marksman No. 1, 10 shots. Marksmanship score: 8 points!¡± Wang Dashan¡¯s hands trembled when he heard the results. To score 8 points on a 1000-meter target was legendary! The recoil of the pistol was very low. Even if he fired a thousand more shots, it wouldn¡¯t make his arms tremble. What really made him tremble was the power and precision of the pistol. And the terrifying amount of ammunition. The pistol can hold 300 bullets, and one magazine was only 500 grams. He could easily carry 30 magazines, which was equivalent to carrying 9,000 bullets. Based on the accuracy of the pistol, 9,000 bullets could kill at least 8,000 people under normal circumstances. When he was shooting, he could see very clearly through the scope that even though he was firing from 1,000 meters away, the bullet still went through the target which was made of metal. When this level of power was used on a human being, his head would be blown off with one shot! This gun was a divine weapon for any sniper! When everyone was armed with one pistol, they would form an elite army! Wang Dashan turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief. Chapter 314 - 314 Battlefield Grim Reaper, Killing Machine 314 Battlefield Grim Reaper, Killing Machine After the results of the 1,000-meter target were out, Li Chengqian smiled at Wang Dashan. Although Wang Dashan did not express how he felt, it was obvious from his behavior. After completing target practice, Wang Dashan didn¡¯t put down the New Age Model 1 pistol. His palm gently rubbed the pistol as if he was caressing a beautiful woman. Wang Dashan was stunned. He was very stunned by the power of the New Age Model 1 pistol. ¡°What do you think of this gun? Is it easy to use?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a smile. ¡°It is a terrifying killing machine, suitable for various battle scenarios.¡± Wang Dashan replied honestly. In the face of such a gun, he had to be honest, he had nothing bad to say about it. Men liked guns, but soldiers liked guns even more! Guns were the second life of soldiers. When they saw a good gun, it was inevitable that they would show their fondness. ¡°President Li, firearms are controlled items. Production requires special approval from the country. Private production of firearms is illegal.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a gun of this model that President Li provided me with. I think President Li¡¯s company designed and produced it itself?¡± Wang Dashan said solemnly and reminded him. Li Chengqian smiled and didn¡¯t say anything else. After the test was completed, Wang Dashan urgently reported the situation to Lin Tian. ¡°Li Chengqian developed a new firearm. The firearm is small, 23 centimeters long, weighs 2.5kg, and has 300 rounds of ammunition in the magazine.¡± ¡°The firearm is extremely easy to use. There¡¯s no recoil. It only takes a few minutes for ordinary people to master the use of this firearm.¡± ¡°The accuracy of the gun is terrifyingly high. It can easily kill a target of 0 to 1,000 meters. It¡¯s extremely powerful and can penetrate a steel plate at a distance of about 1,000 meters.¡± ¡°I suspect the firearm was designed, developed, and produced by the Divine Dragon Company.¡± ¡°I heard from Li Chengqian that this is an air-powered pistol!¡± In Dragon City, after reading the report sent by Wang Dashan, Lin Tian called Wang Kui, the leader of the military, over. In addition to Wang Kui, Lin Tian also called the weapons experts from the Institute of Weapons under the Academy of Sciences. ¡°Leader Wang, take a look at this piece of information.¡± Leader Tian handed the news from Wang Dashan to Wang Kui, and didn¡¯t say anything else. The secretary distributed the information to the other weapon experts. When Wang Kui saw the contents of the message, he was immediately stunned. ¡°Air-powered weapons? The Divine Dragon Company has already successfully developed air-powered weapons?¡± ¡°It can even pierce through steel plates from 1,000 meters away¡­ Gosh, even the armor-piercing power of special anti-tank weapons isn¡¯t that powerful! How is this a pistol? This is clearly a portable cannon!¡± ¡°It has a capacity for 300 bullets. Under normal circumstances, a single soldier can carry 30 cartridges and 9,000 bullets with him! Under extreme conditions, he can carry 50 cartridges and 15,000 bullets¡­¡± ¡°The bullets are metal balls, not gunpowder bullets. Production, transportation, and storage are very simple!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Wang Kui sucked in a breath of cold air, and his expression immediately became serious. ¡°Leader Tian, this pistol must not be exported! Only our country can use it!¡± ¡°Even this information must be kept absolutely confidential! It can¡¯t be leaked to the outside world.¡± ¡°And, purchase a large number of such weapons to equip the troops! Eliminate all existing rifles, pistols, and sniper rifles!¡± ¡°How is this a pistol? This is simply a machine gun!¡± ¡°It¡¯s no exaggeration to say that it can increase the strength of our army by 100 times.¡± ¡°As long as we confirm the reliability of the air-powered pistol and arm our troops with it, even our logistics troops can defeat the most elite troops in the world in a contact battle.¡± Wang Kui exclaimed, his voice filled with desire as he expressed his opinion. Right on the heels of that, Academician Liu, the weapons expert, said in a trembling voice, ¡°I can¡¯t believe this is real!¡± If it was a message from someone else, Academician Liu Ti would definitely not believe it. However, Wang Dashan had also said in the message that he had personally tested the power of the pistol. Liu Ti had no choice but to believe it. It was impossible for Wang Dashan to deceive Leader Tian! ¡°It¡¯s already as powerful as a machine gun! At close range, it can shoot through a tank.¡± ¡°The power is secondary. The main thing is the technology used on this gun!¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡­¡± Li Ti exclaimed. ¡°For an air-powered pistol to reach this level, we must have room temperature superconducting materials, a miniaturized vacuum acceleration barrel, and an ultra-high-capacity battery! These three technologies are needed.¡± ¡°How did Li Chengqian do all this!¡± Academician Liu Ti¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°He has already broken through these world-class technologies!¡± ¡°If we apply room temperature superconducting materials in other areas, such as satellites, airplanes, and ultra-fast trains¡­ our technology will take a huge leap,¡± Academician Liu Ti said excitedly. ¡°Using these technologies on a pistol is like using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito! What a waste¡­¡± Thinking of the possible applications of the room temperature superconducting materials, Academician Liu Ti explained the possibilities to Leader Tian. Firstly, it could be applied to superconducting electrical appliances. It could increase the speed of the computer by a hundred times and greatly reduce the electrical power usage to 1% of the original usage. Secondly, it could be applied to quantum computers. Quantum computers based on superconducting microwave technology are the future development direction of quantum computers. Thirdly, it could be used for superconducting power generation and transmission. It could increase the efficiency of solar power generation by five times, allowing solar power generation to be truly commercialized. It could ensure no power loss in the transmission process. The most important thing was electromagnetic levitation. It could allow buildings to float in the air! It could allow cars to fly in the air! The flying skateboard would become a reality, from a sci-fi concept product to a household item. Moreover, room temperature superconducting materials were the key materials for the construction of a fusion power station. After breakthroughs have been made in room temperature superconducting materials, the technology for fusion power plants will enter a new stage. Leader Tian fell into deep thought after hearing Liu Ti¡¯s excited words. With the asphyxiation virus outbreak wreaking havoc across the globe, and possibility of global conflicts and local wars are extremely small. Everyone¡¯s energy was focused on the development of vaccines and the prevention of viruses. If they couldn¡¯t defend against the virus, they would perish for sure. Even if the Divine Dragon Company had developed powerful weapons, they were not of much use at the moment. Having studied Li Chengqian¡¯s way of doing things, Lin Tian knew that he definitely didn¡¯t do meaningless things. There must be a deeper meaning behind the fact that Li Chengqian chose to share information about the air-powered pistol through Wang Dashan. As for whether Li Chengqian would use this weapon to do anything illegal, Lin Tian had never considered this. If Li Chengqian had such considerations, it was impossible for him to show the small planet¡¯s magnetic plane, let alone let him know about the asphyxiation virus vaccine. ¡°You guys go back first. I still have something to discuss with Leader Wang.¡± Lin Tian thought for a while and asked the excited Liu Ti to go back and wait. After Liu Ti left with a disappointed expression, Lin Tian and Wang Kui sat opposite each other. Their expressions became even more solemn. Lin Tian was the first to speak. ¡°Leader Wang, what do you think Li Chengqian means?¡± ¡°Maybe he just wants us to buy a batch of air-powered pistols!¡± Even Wang Kui himself didn¡¯t believe what he said. Lin Tian shook his head. He also couldn¡¯t understand Li Chengqian¡¯s thoughts. ¡­ Three days later, Li Chengqian asked for Wang Dashan again and conducted an armed robot test in front of him. The armed robots were equipped with improved air-powered pistols, and the range was increased to 3,000 meters because the barrel was embedded in the robot¡¯s body. The power of the gun was greatly increased because the barrel had been lengthened. It could still pierce through a steel plate 3,000 meters away. Moreover, the robot was equipped with an advanced targeting system. For targets within a 3,000-meter range, the hit-rate was 100%. The total score reached 9.3 points. At a high speed of 70 kilometers per hour, robots can also reach the 9-ring mark. It was equivalent to bullseye after bullseye. Furthermore, it was on targets mounted on a speeding vehicle. Even a human sharpshooter would cry when he saw this. The robot had 200,000 rounds of ammunition. At full power, it could last for 10 days on the battlefield. Moreover, in this test, the robot¡¯s target identification rate reached 100%. There were no misfirings. There was a life detector installed on the robot. No living creature could escape its detection. If such armed robots were brought to the battlefield for actual combat, It would be the most terrifying grim reaper, the reaper of human lives on the battlefield. The special deck installed on the surface could withstand the strafing of rocket launchers, anti-materiel sniper rifles, and even machine guns. Ordinary bullets were useless against the robots. Such a machine could directly destroy a small country! If it was used on a densely populated city, it could kill hundreds of thousands of people in a day! Based on the armor and movement speed of the armed robot, it was very difficult for any weapon to damage it. Its movement speed could reach 160 kilometers per hour at full power. Normally, it could maintain a movement speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Even if a missile wanted to hit it, it would be extremely difficult. This was an invincible grim reaper! A war machine born for killing. After watching the test performance of the armed robots, Wang Dashan¡¯s face turned pale. He had nothing but fear in his heart. The way he looked at Li Chengqian was as if he was looking at a demon. Soldiers were not afraid of sacrifice, but when faced with such a machine, even the strongest soldier could only despair and wait for death. ¡°What is Li Chengqian trying to do?¡± ¡°Why is he showing me such terrifying arms again!¡± Chapter 315 - 315 Because, There is a Need 315 Because, There is a Need Not long after, Lin Tian was informed of the armed robots test that Li Chengqian conducted. This time, in addition to a text message, there was also a video message. The video was specially provided by Li Chengqian for Wang Dashan. He said that he wanted Wang Dashan to use it as a reference. This time, after Lin Tian saw the video message, he was silent for a long time. The killing ability of the armed robots terrified him. Then, he asked all the officials to go to the meeting room. Other than the various officials, the heads of the various departments were also present. ¡°The Divine Dragon Company has developed an armed robot. I obtained a test video of the armed robot. Its power¡­ is very strong! Very powerful!¡± ¡°Everyone, take a look and let me know what you think.¡± At this moment, Minister of State She, who was in charge of equipment production, had dissatisfaction in his eyes. ¡°The Divine Dragon Company doesn¡¯t have the qualifications to produce weapons, but they actually dared to privately produce weapons. They¡¯re quite bold, aren¡¯t they!¡± Minister She¡¯s voice was not soft, and most of the people present heard it. Lin Tian looked at Minister She in surprise and gestured to the staff to start playing the video. When Minister She saw Lin Tian¡¯s gaze, he was secretly pleased. He felt that Lin Tian had paid attention to him. He was even thinking about how to stand out. ¡°Li Chengqian privately developed and produced arms. I have to deal with him. I have to do a good job, so that when the time comes, I¡¯ll show off in front of the Leader Tian and leave a deep impression on him.¡± Minister She thought to himself. He had just become a Minister and urgently needed results to prove his ability. A three-meter-tall humanoid armed robot appeared. The robots were just like those in science fiction movies. They were cold, handsome, and futuristic looking. In the video, Li Chengqian gave the order to start the test. Eight small holes appeared on the robot¡¯s body, and gun barrels as thick as a thumb stretched out. Then, balls of bullets broke the sound barrier and enveloped the armed robot. On the huge testing ground with a radius of 3,000 meters, hundreds of dummies were shot in the head almost at the same time. Right on the heels of that, the white mice and rabbits used for the test were all killed by the armed robots. After 10 minutes, there were no living creatures left on the testing ground. In 10 minutes, the armed robots killed a total of 2,354 targets. Bullseye after bullseye, even for mice and rabbits! After the test video ended, other indicators of the armed robot appeared on the screen. With 200,000 rounds of ammunition, 99.9% accuracy in marksmanship, and 93% bullseye! The battery and ammunition replacement time was 10 minutes. Physical characteristics: immune to rockets and autocannons. Movement speed: 90 kilometers per hour. Limit: 160 kilometers per hour. Powerful arms like rockets can¡¯t lock onto the target. After the video started, everyone gasped. Then, they held their breaths and stared fixedly at the video. When the test was completed, almost everyone¡¯s faces turned pale, and they couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The description was even more terrifying! Terrifying killing machines! Demons that specialized in slaughtering lives. After Minister She finished watching the video, his face turned extremely pale and his heart was filled with fear. Previously, when he said that Li Chengqian was quite bold, Leader Tian glanced at him. He thought that Tianzhi Zai valued him. Only now did he understand the meaning of Leader¡¯s Tian gaze. It wasn¡¯t a look of admiration or acknowledgement at all! He was clearly looking at a fool! It wasn¡¯t that Li Chengqian was too bold, but that he was insolent! If his words were to reach Li Chengqian¡¯s ears, if Li Chengqian was a petty person who bore grudges¡­ Minister She shuddered at the thought. There was silence in the room. Everyone was still immersed in the test scene just now. After Lin Tian glanced at them and saw that everyone was looking bothered and uneasy, he broke the silence. ¡°Everyone has seen the test video!¡± ¡°If anyone has any opinions or thoughts, you can speak up.¡± Seeing that no one took the initiative to stand up and speak, Lin Tian pointed at Minister She. ¡°Xiaoshe, you¡¯re in charge of equipment manufacturing. Tell me your opinion first.¡± Immediately, everyone looked at Minister She. Minister She¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t soft. Lin Tian heard him earlier, and so did the people around Minister She. They all wanted to hear what ideas Minister She had and what tough measures he would take to deal with the ¡°bold¡± Li Chengqian. Minister She regretted his arrogance. However, he could only swallow his pride. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Leader Tian, armed robots are powerful war machines. We have to equip the army with them no matter what!¡± ¡°One armed robot is equivalent to the strength of an army!¡± ¡°One armed robot can destroy a small country.¡± ¡°Ten armed robots can bash a medium-sized country until it surrenders.¡± ¡°This is a terrifying power, a power that can revolutionize the world.¡± ¡°I¡¯m done! Please criticize me if I¡¯m wrong.¡± Minister She was full of praise for the armed robot. He didn¡¯t mention anything about the Divine Dragon Company privately producing arms. ¡°Pfft¡­ I thought there would be some action. I thought that Minister She would continue to be tough and deal with Li Chengqian! I didn¡¯t expect him to backpedal.¡± Some people sighed regretfully in their hearts. ¡°Wise person!¡± More people looked at Minister She solemnly. Being flexible was a sign of a mature and smart man. Lin Tian¡¯s expression did not change at all as he nodded and looked at the other ministers. Right on the heels of that, the ministers stood up and spoke as Lin Tian asked them to. Everyone had the same opinion. Armed robots had to be included in the army! However, no one mentioned that Li Chengqian had privately designed and produced arms. Lin Tian was very dissatisfied when he heard that. He asked the ministers to leave first and kept the officials behind to continue the discussion. ¡°Leader Wang, give me your opinion!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the armed robots. You all know what I want to hear,¡± Lin Tian instructed. ¡°What do you think Li Chengqian is trying to do?¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t solve the problem of the asphyxiation virus, humanity will be extinct. Sunset has also been extinguished. Li Chengqian is developing a war machine at this juncture¡­¡± After Sunset has perished, the Divine Dragon would undisputedly be the strongest. It was not that developing war machines now was not allowed, but it was useless! This did not conform to Li Chengqian¡¯s usual logic. Li Chengqian had always been researching and producing items that the country urgently needed. ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Even without the air-powered pistols and armed robots, Divine Dragon¡¯s military power was already the number one in the world. There was no need to boost their military prowess at the moment. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian stood in the huge computer room. The computer room was filled with servers. These servers were completely different from ordinary servers. Each server was a complete piece of silicon. There were dense circuits on the silicon. Every piece of silicon was placed in a transparent box that was dustproof, vibration proof, and waterproof. The silicon sheets were connected to each other by cables. ¡°Master, the initial deployment of the planetary management system has been completed. The development of the planetary affairs client has been completed. The development of the industry client has been completed.¡± The intelligent core of the planetary management system was controlled by the artificial intelligence, Bai Ze. ¡°The current computing power is enough to support the operation of the Divine Dragon and take over the various fields of the Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°Based on the preliminary calculations of the planetary management system, resources in Divine Dragon can be mobilized to build the first fusion power station in 6 months, without affecting its normal economic and social activities. After the plant is completed, it can produce 2,400 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.¡± ¡°Do you want to start deploying personal and industry clients in the Divine Dragon Country?¡± Li Chengqian smiled when heard Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice. ¡°Bai Ze, wait a moment. There¡¯s no need to deploy for the time being!¡± ¡°All the preparations have been completed. Next, it¡¯s time to go to Dragon City to meet Leader Tian.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Leader Tian curious why I produced armed robots? He¡¯ll understand soon!¡± ¡°Because it is needed!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes flashed with a cold glint. Chapter 316 - 316 Arriving at Dragon City, Meeting the Leader 316 Arriving at Dragon City, Meeting the Leader Li Chengqian had made sufficient preparations before going to the Dragon Capital. There were 100 armed robots in front of the huge small planet magnetic plane. Every one of them was fully charged and loaded with bullets. The 30,000 air-powered pistols produced during this period of time were all here too. In addition to the armed robots, there was also the construction blueprint for the nuclear fusion power station. There was also an exquisite small box with a thumb-sized plum in it. This plum was a rare treasure that he had planted with the Farmer profession. Its effect was to increase one¡¯s lifespan by a year. Moreover, in one year, one¡¯s physical condition would truly return to the prime of their life. This was Li Chengqian¡¯s sincerity. ¡°With these trump cards, there would be military protection for the implementation of the planetary management system.¡± ¡°Whoever dares to stop Leader Tian from implementing the planetary management system will be crushed by the wheels of history and shattered into pieces!¡± ¡°The nuclear fusion power station concerns the survival of mankind. The construction must be completed in a year.¡± ¡°The galactic power canon can only be activated with the energy supplied by the nuclear fusion power station. The galactic-scale quantum radar operates on running energy.¡± ¡°The only way is to use the planetary management system to manage society and allocate resources.¡± This was something Li Chengqian had to do! No one could stop him. ¡°Get on the plane!¡± Li Chengqian ordered. The armed robots picked up the relevant materials and boarded the plane in an orderly manner. Li Chengqian turned and looked at the other magnetic plane and followed the armed robot into the magnetic plane. This modified magnetic plane was different from the original magnetic plane. It was an armed magnetic plane. Three powered auto-cannons were installed on the magnetic plane. The auto-cannons could attack in all directions and were usually hidden in the body of the magnetic plane. If needed, they could be ejected in a second and enter combat state. With a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute, it was fifty times more powerful than the air-powered pistol. It could even penetrate an aircraft carrier with one shot. A total of five million bullets were carried on the magnetic plane. No matter what situation he encountered, Li Chengqian was confident that he could escape unscathed. ¡°Bai Ze, head for Dragon City! Set off.¡± Immediately, the two magnetic planes floated in the air and flew higher and higher. The stealth system was activated, and the two huge planes disappeared into the clouds. ¡­ In Dragon City, the meeting with the leaders was not over yet. They had been discussing the entire day, and the result was that they had to equip the army with the armed robots. As for the reason why Li Chengqian developed the killing machines, they still had no clue. ¡°I think Minister She is a smart person. We can let him go to the Divine Dragon Company and interact with Li Chengqian,¡± Wang Kui said. He was visibly tired. ¡°Sure, let him go tomorrow.¡± Lin Tian nodded and agreed with Wang Kui. After realizing that everyone was tired after a full day¡¯s discussion, Lin Tian instructed his secretary. ¡°Xiaowang, go and get the Great Buckthorn fruits.¡± ¡°Leader Tian, actually, I¡¯ve always felt that the Great Buckthorn fruit is a breed cultivated by Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian has the ability to do this.¡± Hearing the name of the Great Buckthorn fruit, everyone immediately perked up. The Great Buckthorn fruits were purchased from Li Chengqian¡¯s farm. The Academy of Sciences had done many experiments. They wanted to use tissue cultivation techniques to mass-produce the Great Buckthorn seedlings, but they failed. The Academy of Sciences had tried all the other methods they could think of. These methods were useful for other plants, but not for the Great Buckthorn fruit. Not a single sapling was produced after many experiments. ¡°I think so too!¡± ¡°Leader Tian, since Li Chengqian can cultivate a plant like the Great Buckthorn fruit, he might be able to cultivate a plant that can increase lifespan¡­¡± Wang Kui couldn¡¯t hide his excitement when he said this. In this world, everyone was afraid of death, and he was no exception. As they talked, they ate the Great Buckthorn fruit blissfully. Their fatigue was gone, and everyone became energetic. Their minor aches and pains were also gone. This feeling was very fascinating. ¡°Although I¡¯ve eaten the Great Buckthorn fruit many times, it still feels so amazing every time I eat it.¡± At this moment, the guards guarding the building rushed in. ¡°Reporting to Leader Tian, Leader Wang just sent a message saying that Li Chengqian has come to Dragon City!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian came on a magnetic plane. He set off from the headquarters of the Divine Dragon Company ten minutes ago. He¡¯s estimated to reach Dragon City in ten minutes¡­¡± ¡°Wait, 10 minutes? !¡± Just then, through the windows of the conference room, a huge plane appeared and floated quietly. Then, the fuselage suddenly opened. Li Chengqian was standing there with a smile on his face. He greeted Lin Tian with a smile, ¡°Leader Tian, we meet again.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, why are you here? Come in quickly.¡± Lin Tian stood up from his seat and personally stepped forward to welcome Li Chengqian. ¡°I¡¯ve brought you some good stuff. Wait a moment,¡± Li Chengqian said with a smile. Then, the plane descended and slowly landed on the ground. When the plane landed, Lin Tian had already brought the guards downstairs with a warm smile on his face as he waited for Li Chengqian to get off the plane. This was a treatment that was only accorded to kings. It showed that Lin Tian valued him. The other leaders didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong. They looked at Li Chengqian with smiles on their faces, especially Wang Kui. The way he looked at Li Chengqian was as if he wanted to eat him up. After the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Li Chengqian went straight to the point and said, ¡°Leader Tian, I have something to discuss with you in private.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Tian nodded after some thought. When they arrived at the meeting room, Li Chengqian said, ¡°Leader Tian, I¡¯ve mastered the technology of the fusion power station. It¡¯s completely controllable and absolutely safe. I only need to invest three kilograms of raw materials every year and the energy produced is a thousand times that of the entire world¡¯s!¡± ¡°What? You¡¯ve mastered controllable nuclear fusion power plant technology?¡± Lin Tian¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. Controllable nuclear fusion was also known as the artificial sun. The principle was the same as the sun. If one mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology, one would be able to solve the energy problem that humans faced. At least for the next thousand years, humans would no longer have to worry about energy. History tells us that if we control energy, we can control the entire world! Therefore, controllable nuclear fusion technology was very important. ¡°Yes, I can share the technology for free!¡± Li Chengqian nodded affirmatively. When Lin Tian heard this, he was first delighted, then he became solemn. He knew that Li Chengqian would definitely add other conditions. Indeed, as he had expected, Li Chengqian continued, ¡°But I have a few conditions!¡± ¡°First, I need to complete the construction and operation of the fusion power station within a year!¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible! It¡¯s impossible to build it in such a short period of time.¡± When Lin Tian heard this condition, he lost his voice. It would take ten years to build a fission nuclear power plant with mature technology. It would be impossible to build a nuclear power plant, which was a more complicated technology, in a year. ¡°Leader Tian, listen to my second condition.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve developed a planetary management system that can allow the civilized society on the planet to operate at extremely high efficiency. As long as I use this management system, I can definitely complete the construction of the fusion power station in a year.¡± ¡°My second condition is to use the planetary management system in Divine Dragon Country!¡± Li Chengqian said in a deep voice. ¡°Planetary management system? This system has such a powerful effect?¡± Lin Tian was stunned. Chapter 317 - Chapter 317 Domineering Chapter 317 Domineering Li Chengqian began to explain the functions of the planetary management system to Leader Tian. ¡°Set the target mission.¡± ¡°The system will automatically break the target down to individuals.¡± ¡°It can increase a person¡¯s effective working time from one hour to six hours.¡± ¡°It can turn one-third of the managers in the country¡¯s system into normal employees.¡± Li Chengqian used the construction of the fusion power station as an example. He only needed to set the construction of the fusion power station as a mission, and input the construction timeline, the system would then search for a suitable construction location in the database. The system would also order the relevant construction materials and plan the placement of the materials. All the people who would be involved in the construction would be assigned very specific missions, and the system would also set the deadlines for completion. There would definitely be a problem if one did not finish his work within the stipulated time. Extreme measures would be taken in extreme times. Those who slacked or skived would be dealt with immediately. The entire construction process would be like an assembly line. Everyone¡¯s task was very simple and direct. The overall construction progress was directly controlled by the planetary management system. After Lin Tian heard Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. If what Li Chengqian described could actually be achieved, the efficiency of the entire society could be increased by at least 24 times. However, while improving efficiency, there would be a huge problem¡­ That was, one-third of the managers would become normal workers. Would they¡­ be willing? For someone who was used to a cushy life, someone who was used to having everything served to them on a silver platter, asking him to give up this life for a farmer¡¯s life was akin to killing him. They would never agree to give their good life! What would happen if these people were unwilling? The consequences were obvious! Just thinking about that scene made Lin Tian shudder. ¡°Li Chengqian, are you that confident in this system? What if the system makes a mistake during the operation? The losses are simply immeasurable,¡± Lin Tian said. He was deliberately nitpicking. ¡°Leader Tian, there will definitely not be any problems with the system,¡± Li Chengqian said confidently. In the information from the Professions mall, other than the technical information and code of the planetary management system, there was also an extremely short introduction. This system had been operating steadily in a certain parallel space for 3,000 years. It was one of the necessary management tools for all the overlords who went out to colonize other planets. ¡°Even if there¡¯s nothing wrong with your planetary management system, I won¡¯t agree.¡± Seeing Li Chengqian¡¯s confident attitude, Lin Tian sighed and finally spoke his mind. ¡°Because¡­¡± Lin Tian took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, ¡°It will shake the foundation of the country!¡± ¡°Of course, the planetary management system is a good thing. I won¡¯t give up, but I have to wait until the time is right. Things will become difficult if my move was too drastic. In order to increase the efficiency of management, we can take it one step at a time. We can¡¯t be anxious. It is my wish and goal that the country becomes stronger and better. I will support anything that can make the country stronger. However, ruling a large country is like cooking a small fish, do not overdo it. I can¡¯t be anxious¡­ I have to take it slow. If I¡¯m too anxious, it will only backfire.¡± Lin Tian changed his tone and voiced his concerns. ¡°The country can buy the nuclear fusion power plant technology from you. You can name a price or state your terms.¡± Nuclear fusion technology was the most important technology in the future. Lin Tian would not give up. Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was calm, as if he had long expected Lin Tian¡¯s reaction. In fact, he agreed with Lin Tian¡¯s logic. Ruling a large country was like cooking a small fish, do not overdo it. He would take it slow and advance steadily. However, this saying only applied under usual circumstances! The current situation was completely different. The aliens had already launched an attack on Earth. How could they have the time to govern the country slowly? If they really followed the steps Lin Tian had mentioned, humanity would have been destroyed before the planetary management system could reach its full potential. Time was of the essence now. He had to seize all the time and use the limited time to develop. He had to use it to build the fortress needed for war and fight for a chance to survive. Then, whoever dared to stop him, no matter who he was, would be killed immediately. Therefore, Li Chengqian shook his head and said very seriously, ¡°Leader Tian, my conditions are still the same as the two conditions just now.¡± ¡°First, complete the construction of the nuclear fusion power plant and put it into use within a year. Ths is non-negotiable.¡± ¡°Second, the planetary management system must be used.¡± ¡°Non-negotiable!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone became abnormally firm. Lin Tian¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Although the nuclear fusion power station is important¡­ even if we don¡¯t build it for the time being, it won¡¯t affect the country much.¡± ¡°Since you said that, we¡¯ll talk about it when the country needs a nuclear fusion power station.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s tone was very cold, and his face was not as enthusiastic as when he first saw Li Chengqian. ¡°Leader Tian, you might be mistaken! You think that I won¡¯t be able to do anything without your support. This is just your imagination.¡± The corners of Li Chengqian¡¯s mouth revealed a smile, and his tone was not polite. ¡°Actually, I have more choices. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve never wanted things to develop to that extent.¡± ¡°You can make a decision after you see what I¡¯ve brought for you!¡± ¡°Look¡­ what have I brought for you?¡± Li Chengqian walked to the window of the room and pointed to the front of the magnetic plane. Lin Tian¡¯s expression was cold. He looked up and his heart trembled. He pulled a very long face. Tall and cold armed robots walked down from the magnetic plane. At least a hundred armed robots that looked like the grim reaper stood in the huge square. One such robot could slaughter a city. A hundred such robots. Could even¡­ change the world! If Li Chengqian had other intentions, unless nuclear weapons were used, none of the executives in Dragon City could escape. For the first time, Lin Tian felt fear towards Li Chengqian. ¡°Leader Tian, I know what you¡¯re worried about! You¡¯re afraid that after using the planetary management system, those who lose their power will go crazy and cause the country to go into internal war.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already made preparations.¡± ¡°Therefore, I¡¯ve brought you bargaining chips to boost your confidence! One hundred armed robots. This force can suppress everything!¡± ¡°Are you curious why I¡¯ve been specializing in developing powerful killing machines recently?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all for this moment! To suppress all resistance.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have much time left! If we don¡¯t hurry¡­¡± When Li Chengqian said this, he suddenly stopped and didn¡¯t continue. ¡°In addition to these 100 armed robots, I also brought 30,000 air-powered pistols! A magnetic plane!¡± ¡°A magnetic plane can reach anywhere in Divine Dragon within two hours.¡± ¡°Armed robots and magnetic planes are all controlled by intelligent systems. You have the highest authority. This power belongs to you alone! They will only accept your orders. You can ask them to do anything.¡± Li Chengqian spoke slowly and forcefully. He then waited calmly for Lin Tian¡¯s answer. His voice was very different from usual. It was filled with dominance. There were some things that Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say directly, but Lin Tian was a smart person and naturally understood the meaning behind Li Chengqian¡¯s words. Li Chengqian could give these armed robots to Lin Tian or to someone else! Lin Tian¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and his heart stopped beating in an instant. His breathing became rough as he stared fixedly at Li Chengqian. Chapter 318 - Chapter 318 Temporary Acceptance of Fate Chapter 318 Temporary Acceptance of Fate All kinds of thoughts went through Lin Tian¡¯s mind. After a long silence, he finally agreed to Li Chengqian¡¯s conditions. In the end, Li Chengqian proposed to provide him with 100 armed robots and a magnetic plane to support the implementation of the planetary management system. He could not refuse this condition. Lin Tian knew very well that since Li Chengqian could provide it to him, he could naturally provide it to others. Moreover, since Li Chengqian dared to provide these powerful weapons, it meant that Li Chengqian definitely had an even more powerful power in his hands. Once he rejected Li Chengqian¡¯s proposal, the consequences¡­ were unpredictable! ¡°I agree to your conditions! We will use the planetary management system.¡± Lin Tian was bitter about this. ¡°However, I also have a condition.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be the one managing the planetary management system. You can¡¯t interfere,¡± Lin Tian said very seriously. ¡°No problem. I just want the results. As long as you can complete the implementation of the planetary management system in half a month and complete the construction and operation of the nuclear fusion power station in a year, it¡¯s fine.¡± Li Chengqian only needed the results. As for how Lin Tian would achieve this, he didn¡¯t care at all. Li Chengqian¡¯s tense face relaxed after he had achieved his objectives. Looking at Lin Tian¡¯s unhappy face, Li Chengqian comforted him. ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry. I have no interest in power.¡± ¡°As long as I can achieve my goal, I definitely won¡¯t interfere with you.¡± ¡°With the help of the planetary management system, any decision you make will reach the lowest level and be implemented immediately.¡± ¡°With the planetary management system, real issues at the ground level will be reflected here.¡± ¡°The planetary management system will become your best tool. It will assist you in controlling the entire Divine Dragon, or even¡­ the entire human society.¡± Li Chengqian was not making empty promises. This system was really developed to control a planet. Lin Tian¡¯s expression finally improved a little. ¡°This time, apart from bringing you weapons, I also brought something¡­¡± Li Chengqian took out the plum he had prepared. The purple plum was only the size of a thumb and looked ordinary. Lin Tian glanced at the plum. It looked ordinary, so he didn¡¯t care. He took it and casually placed it on the table. ¡°This is a rare treasure. The effect of eating it is to increase one¡¯s lifespan by one year.¡± Li Chengqian explained. ¡°Oh, there¡¯s such an effect?¡± A trace of surprise appeared on Lin Tian¡¯s face, but his heart was calm. He didn¡¯t believe a word. He only acted surprised in response to what Li Chengqian said. It could be considered as giving Li Chengqian face. How could one¡¯s lifespan be extended by a plum? Bullsh*t! It was impossible to verify if it would actually increase after eating it. This was because no one knew how long their lifespan was originally and how long their lifespan was after eating it. ¡°Leader Tian, after eating this plum, your body will undergo a huge change. I suggest you eat it after completing the deployment of the planetary management system.¡± Li Chengqian naturally understood Lin Tian¡¯s thoughts. He didn¡¯t care, but he was worried that Lin Tian would delay the matter he had instructed, so he specially mentioned it. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m almost done. I won¡¯t outstay my welcome.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve handed over control of the magnetic plane and the armed robots to you. I¡¯ve also bound the iris, voiceprint, face recognition and body recognition to you.¡± ¡°This is the controller. You can give orders to these machines through the planetary management system in the controller.¡± Li Chengqian handed a special phone to Lin Tian. This was the controller. Lin Tian¡¯s eyelids twitched. He didn¡¯t hypocritically ask Li Chengqian to stay for dinner. He curiously took the controller and realized that it was a phone. Compared to ordinary phones, it had one additional function, and that was the planetary management system. In the planetary management system, armed robots and magnetic aircraft can be deployed. The operation was very simple. He could use voice control or input word control. Lin Tian learned how to operate it within seconds. ¡°Leader Tian, there¡¯s one more thing¡­¡± ¡°Sunset is stricken by the asphyxiation virus pandemic. The vaccine¡¯s effect has been preliminarily verified. It¡¯s very safe.¡± ¡°We need to start the vaccination work as soon as possible! The sooner we complete the vaccination, the better. It¡¯s best if we can do it within a month.¡± Vaccination was a must. Only by receiving vaccination could they be immune to the asphyxiation virus and survive. At the same time, when the country purchase a large number of asphyxiation virus vaccines. Li Chengqian could also use this opportunity to obtain a large amount of experience value points. There were still a few technologies in the Professions mall that he urgently needed. They had yet to be exchanged as he didn¡¯t have sufficient experience value points. Li Chengqian needed to exchange for the relevant knowledge as soon as possible. He would then deploy the weapons and radar in advance via the planetary management system. ¡°You can also use this opportunity to test the effect of the planetary management system.¡± Li Chengqian walked out after he finished speaking. Lin Tian also followed behind. ¡°Li Chengqian, wait a moment. Let me send you back to the Divine Dragon Company using the magnetic plane. I¡¯ll control the plane.¡± Li Chengqian had come here on the magnetic plane. Now that he wanted to go back, he naturally had to take the magnetic plane back. What if Li Chengqian regretted it after he flew the magnetic plane back? What if he couldn¡¯t bear to part with the magnetic plane and decided not to give it to him? With this motive in mind, Lin Tian felt that he would only be at ease if he personally sent Li Chengqian back. He would definitely not hand over the control of the magnetic plane. ¡°No need. I still have another magnetic plane with me.¡± Following Li Chengqian¡¯s words, another magnetic plane hidden in the five-meter above the sky was revealed. The menacing muzzles of the cannons sparkled in the sunlight, bringing with them a deadly glow. Lin Tian¡¯s heart skipped a beat again. He pretended to be unaffected and asked, ¡°Eh, what¡¯s this? Why didn¡¯t I see this on the other plane?¡± ¡°This is an all-directional power cannon! One shot can pierce through an aircraft carrier. One shot can destroy a missile from 30 kilometers away.¡± Li Chengqian deliberately revealed the performance of the power cannon to Leader Tian. When Lin Tian heard this, all the little schemes he had in mind instantly disappeared. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to send me off.¡± Although Lin Tian¡¯s expression changed extremely quickly, he still noticed it. This was the effect Li Chengqian needed. This was a warning! After Li Chengqian boarded the magnetic plane, the plane instantly turned invisible and disappeared. Lin Tian turned around and returned to his office. He picked up the top-secret phone and asked the radar to run at full power to track it down. However, the results were disappointing. He did not find any traces of the magnetic plane. Lin Tian sighed in his heart and could only accept his fate for the time being. He thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and made a call. ¡°Leader Wang, come to my office alone. There are some things I need to discuss with you.¡± After Lin Tian finished the call, he took out the planetary management system that Li Chengqian had given him and began to study it. He had completely forgotten about the plum Li Chengqian had given him. It was still on the reception table. After Wang Kui entered, he sat on a chair at the reception table. The purple plum was in front of him. Chapter 319 - 319 Lin Tian Consumed with Remorse 319 Lin Tian Consumed with Remorse An hour later, after Li Chengqian returned to the Divine Dragon Company, he went to the automated farm. Ever since his Stamina Stats reached 100,000+, Li Chengqian had never been to the automated farm again. He was a little unconcerned about the farm. Because with his current stamina, even nuclear bombs might not be able to kill him. He came over today to use his Profession skill on the plum tree. He wanted to continue nurturing it. He wanted to increase the power of the plum¡¯s lifespan extension ability. He would give the plum to his parents after he is satisfied with its quality. As soon as he arrived under the plum tree, his phone rang. Li Chengqian was puzzled when he saw that it was Lin Tian calling, but he still answered the call. ¡°Leader Tian, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, do you still have the plums you brought me today?¡± Lin Tian was very calm, but Li Chengqian was very sharp and he detected the slight trembling in his voice. Li Chengqian glanced at the densely packed fruits on the plum tree behind him and replied without hesitation, ¡°No! The plums were nurtured using special methods. They¡¯re very precious and very difficult to nurture. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing, I was just asking!¡± Lin Tian sounded dejected and extremely disappointed. This time, he didn¡¯t even hide it. Then, Lin Tian was silent for a long time before he spoke. His voice was nervous and filled with anticipation. ¡°Li Chengqian ¡­ how long will it take for you to cultivate one of these plums? Can you give it to me? I can pay.¡± ¡°This plum was nurtured by chance. I can¡¯t guarantee how long it will take to nurture a fruit with the same effect next time.¡± ¡°I can only say that it depends on luck. If you¡¯re lucky, it¡¯ll be fast. If you¡¯re not, it might never be nurtured.¡± ¡°The effect of the fruit might not be the same. Perhaps the effect will be better, or it might not have any effect,¡± Li Chengqian deliberately emphasized this point. Lin Tian would definitely understand the meaning behind his words. ¡°I can only¡­ try my best!¡± Li Chengqian ended the call and shook his head. He smiled and began to use his Skill on the plum tree. While Li Chengqian was speaking on the phone, the artificial intelligence, Bai Ze, had already briefly updated him on what had happened to Lin Tian. ¡­ It turned out that after Li Chengqian left, Lin Tian called Wang Kui over to discuss the mission Li Chengqian had given him. Wang Kui picked up the plum. Lin Tian didn¡¯t care about the plum. He had always felt that Li Chengqian had lied to him about increasing his lifespan, so he didn¡¯t stop Wang Kui from eating it. After Wang Kui, who was almost 70 years old, ate the plum, his snow-white hair turned black and full of luster in front of Lin Tian within half an hour. Thick black hair also appeared on his bald spot. Wang Kui¡¯s skin, which was full of wrinkles and furrows, also became smooth in half an hour. The black spots on his skin disappeared without a trace. And his sagging cheeks also reverted to a healthy state. His yellow eyeballs and listless pupils turned white, and his eyes became lively. Even the loose muscles on his body had returned to the state they were in when he was young. Lin Tian was consumed by remorse when he saw Wang Kui revert to his 30-year-old appearance in half an hour. His face fell. This plum was given to him by Li Chengqian! Originally, he was the one who could get his youth back! However, because he didn¡¯t believe Li Chengqian, the plum was eaten by Wang Kui. As for Wang Kui, he was overjoyed after discovering the changes in his body! Even with his scheming mind, he couldn¡¯t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth. Seeing Lin Tian¡¯s expression turn ugly, Wang Kui tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he couldn¡¯t hold it in at all. ¡°Leader Tian, what exactly did I just eat?¡± Wang Kui couldn¡¯t help but ask. He very much wanted to know the details of the plum. Where did this plum come from? Did it have any side effects? Did he permanently restore his youth, or¡­ Wang Kui had countless questions in his heart, but Lin Tian was already visibly upset. He didn¡¯t dare to ask further. Judging from the remorse on Lin Tian¡¯s face, this plum was definitely not simple. It was very likely that Lin Tian didn¡¯t know what was good for him and allowed him to eat it. ¡°Leader Wang, that¡¯s all for today.¡± ¡°It¡¯s getting late. You should go back first.¡± Lin Tian used his strong willpower to speak calmly, but he was extremely regretful in his heart. After Wang Kui left, Lin Tian could no longer hold it in. He quickly walked to the box where the plum was placed and rummaged carefully, hoping to find other plums in the box. After discovering that there were no plums, he was heartbroken. His heart ached so much that he couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°I regret it¡­¡± ¡°My plum, my lifespan, my young body¡­¡± ¡°This plum was sent by Li Chengqian. Since he gave me one, it means that he still has more.¡± Lin Tian suddenly felt hopeful. He took out his phone and immediately called Li Chengqian. ¡­ Lin Tian felt better after the phone call. Through this phone call, he knew that Li Chengqian still had more plums in his hands. The effect was even better than the one he sent. Although Li Chengqian didn¡¯t say it explicitly, his meaning was already clear. Lin Tian had to show his sincerity if he wanted the plum. If Li Chengqian was satisfied with Lin Tian¡¯s sincerity, he would provide him with fruits that were even more effective. What was the best way to show sincerity? It was the planetary management system and the nuclear fusion power station! As long as these two things were done well, Li Chengqian would definitely provide plums that were more effective. ¡°Looks like I have to speed up the progress!¡± Lin Tian opened the planetary management system and saw a notification in the system. ¡°Prompt 1: Deploy the planetary management system client to all civil servants¡¯ phones and computers!¡± The planetary management system had already drafted the activation document. It was displayed in a box below the notification. Lin Tian made a special effort to read it. The document written by the system was very concise, the logic was sound and the sentences read well. It was succinct and the template was in order too. He only needed to disseminate it through the existing official channels to inform all the civil servants. The planetary management system would then be installed directly on the computers and phones of all civil servants. The civil servants don¡¯t have to do anything. ¡°Xiaohan, the livestream hasn¡¯t started yet, right? Inform them that I want to do a special livestream.¡± ¡°Inform all the military and civil servants in the country to watch this livestream!¡± Lin Tian¡¯s original plan was to implement the planetary management system tentatively, just to play safe. However, he understood Li Chengqian to mean that if he implemented the planetary management system and completed the nuclear fusion plant as soon as possible, he might be able to obtain better plums. Lin Tian changed his mind. He wanted to complete Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions in the shortest time possible. With the magnetic plane and the hundred armed robots provided by Li Chengqian, he can shoot down any objections. Whoever dared to oppose the progress of social management would be crushed by the wheels of history. ¡°System, prepare a speech for me! Explain the benefits of using the system. The time limit is 30 minutes.¡± For the livestream that night, Lin Tian needed a script. He wanted to see if the system was as smart as Li Chengqian had said. The screen flashed and a sentence appeared. ¡°Captain Planet, the speech has been completed.¡± ¡°Captain Planet? This name is really unpleasant. It¡¯s Li Chengqian¡¯s work.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s heart trembled a little, and then he complained about Li Chengqian¡¯s horrible naming. ¡°It¡¯s really fast. I¡¯m just afraid¡­ I can¡¯t use it!¡± Lin Tian clicked on it curiously. His face suddenly became serious. ¡°This standard is amazing!¡± After spending 10 minutes reading the manuscript, be it logic or text, it was top-notch. It was an excellent piece of work! If he had asked the secretariat to write it, it would at most be at this level, but they would take at least a week to complete. There were 327 members of the Secretariat. ¡°With the system, the number of secretaries in the country can be reduced by 100,000! After these people are streamlined, they can go and do some real work.¡± After sighing, Lin Tian continued to order, ¡°System, connect the Ministry of Defense¡¯s command system.¡± ¡°Connect the weapons command system and logistics support system of the Ministry of Defense.¡± ¡°From now on, my direct authorization is required for the use of any weapon and for the mobilization of the army.¡± ¡°The system will directly review the orders for normal duty.¡± ¡°Any abnormal duty orders would not be allowed and would be blocked.¡± Lin Tian instructed. ¡°Captain Planet, the order has been executed!¡± ¡°Weapon count completed! The control command of some connected arms has been taken over.¡± ¡°Soldier count completed! The individual communication system has been taken over. If necessary, the orders of the Captain Planet can go straight to the ears of the soldiers.¡± ¡°Radar data access completed!¡± ¡°Territory data imported.¡± ¡°Patrol, training, duty¡­ Data import completed.¡± ¡°Captain Planet, please complete part of the intelligent modification of the weapons as soon as possible¡­¡± The system completed everything extremely quickly. Lin Tian opened the military module in disbelief and realized that all the connected weapons had already entered the system¡¯s arsenal. Even missiles could be fired directly through the system, the method of firing was very simple. All he needed to do was enter the destination coordinates. The system would also provide a prompt on how many missiles could be used to achieve the greatest strategic goal. ¡°Simply divine! How did Li Chengqian become so clever?¡± Lin Tian sighed again. ¡°System, put the magnetic plane and armed robots in combat readiness!¡± Then, he gave the order again. Chapter 320 - 320 Lin Tians Livestream 320 Lin Tian¡¯s Livestream All the publicity channels in the Divine Dragon Country were activated. The big screens in the mall, television channels, various video apps, phone messages, and so on were all promoting one thing. Leader Tian had an important announcement in tonight¡¯s livestream. Soldiers and civil servants must watch the entire livestream, and duties could be set aside. All the television channels and video streaming apps would automatically connect to Leader Tian¡¯s livestream at seven o¡¯clock. Because the propaganda campaigns in these places were too aggressive and unprecedented, many other countries were also alarmed by this matter. ¡°What is the Divine Dragon planning to do?¡± ¡°Could it be that the Divine Dragon has already completed the development of the asphyxiation virus vaccine?¡± During this period of time, everyone in the world had been paying attention to a problem, which was the asphyxiation virus. If they couldn¡¯t prevent the asphyxiation virus, they would definitely be wiped out like Sunset. All other matters will have to be set aside during this period. 7 p.m. sharp. All the big screens, television channels, and software in the Divine Dragon Country were connected to Lin Tian¡¯s livestream at this moment. ¡°Soldiers, officials, and citizens, hello!¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus is threatening the survival of humanity. Sunset has already been destroyed by the virus¡­¡± ¡°This is an unprecedented crisis for humanity. Although we, the Divine Dragons, are not attacked by the asphyxiation virus for the time being, the virus can be transmitted through the air and water. It¡¯s only a matter of time before it enters the Divine Dragon Country.¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus will definitely enter the Divine Dragon Country.¡± ¡°Once the asphyxiation virus enters the Divine Dragon Country, we will be like Sunset, and everyone will perish!¡± ¡°I am not being pessimistic, it will definitely happen!¡± Lin Tian¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. When the people watching the livestream heard this, everyone¡¯s hearts skipped a beat. Everyone held their breaths and looked at Lin Tian seriously. After all, this concerned everyone¡¯s life and death. ¡°The only thing that can fight the virus is a vaccine!¡± ¡°We have to complete the development and production of the vaccine, and vaccinate the population before the asphyxiation virus spreads to Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°But¡­ Sunset once gathered top biologists and virologists to develop a vaccine, and they failed!¡± ¡°This is an unprecedented virus. It¡¯s impossible to develop this vaccine using current technology on Earth.¡± Originally, when they heard Lin Tian mention the vaccine, most of them became hopeful. However, when they heard Lin Tian say that Sunset had failed to develop a vaccine, many of them were disappointed. Even Sunset, which was the strongest in biotechnology and drug development, had failed in their research and development. In that case, no country in this world could develop it at all. ¡°The asphyxiation virus doesn¡¯t leave us much time!¡± ¡°With a limited amount of time, we have to develop a vaccine! If the research succeeds, we can live. If the research fails, we will all die.¡± ¡°Within a limited period of time, we have to invest all our resources in vaccine development!¡± ¡°Moreover, we have to increase efficiency! We have to do all the work efficiently and effectively to ensure that the vaccine can be successfully developed!¡± ¡°For this, we need to activate a new management tool, the planetary management system!¡± ¡°Only a planetary management system can guarantee the successful development of the vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. Only then can we guarantee our survival!¡± Binding the planetary management system, vaccine development, and everyone¡¯s survival together! This way, the planetary management system would be justified. Whoever dared to oppose the implementation of the planetary management planetary would be obstructing everyone¡¯s will to survive. Even if someone was against Lin Tian¡¯s plan to implement the planetary management system, they wouldn¡¯t dare to voice it openly. ¡°There are a few functions in the planetary management system!¡± ¡°Firstly, all administrative matters can be handled within the planetary management system. Furthermore, there is a need to go through layers of approval. All the matters that need to be approved are directly sent to the approving person and are handled within a specified time! The system is capable of receiving and issuing auto approvals for most matters. Our administrative efficiency can be increased by at least 100 times!¡± ¡°For example, children¡¯s school admission.¡± ¡°In the past, the procedure was to first register the students, then divide the schools into regions, issue public announcements, and so on. It took a month to register a school age child. There were more than a few hundred people involved in this process.¡± ¡°With the planetary management system, human errors will be eliminated.¡± ¡°The system will directly extract the data of children of the right age from the population database. After extracting the data of the children of the temporary residents, the registration and distribution of the children will be completed in ten minutes.¡± Education! Appointments for children¡¯s vaccination. Payment for medical insurance! Private housing construction approval! Housing construction. ¡­ Lin Tian introduced these items briefly one by one, and explained that processing efficiency for each item would increase by a hundred times. In summary¡­ Convenient, fast, fair, and transparent! ¡°Leader Tian is really going all out this time!¡± ¡°If we can attain the goals outlined by Leader Tian, the country¡¯s development will be faster. It will be at least a hundred times faster than now.¡± ¡°When Leader Tian activates the system, we commoners will do things faster and save more money.¡± The commoners were naturally happy. This reform would only benefit them. ¡°I¡¯m in real estate. Based on the previous model, it takes two years to complete a pre-approval if the process was smooth, else it could take up to five years. If we use the system, the pre-approval will only take ten days,¡± a vendor said in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m in the export trade. It takes four months to complete the import and export approval process using the current approval procedure. Now, it only takes one day to complete it. Impressive!¡± An import and export vendor said in surprise. ¡°Leader Tian is being too radical. What if he gives all the approval authority to the system? What will happen if it makes a mistake? What will those who specialize in approvals do? What will happen to those who specialize in approvals?¡± Of course, many people with vested interests were a little dissatisfied. ¡°The system is also controlled by humans. Although we¡¯ll go through the system¡¯s approval, we¡¯ll find some reasons when the time comes. If the approval doesn¡¯t pass, I¡¯ll see what the system can do.¡± Many people had already thought of a way to deal with it. They felt that this time was no different from the previous system. Although the system was changed, the approval authority was still in their hands. Lin Tian didn¡¯t go into too much detail. After explaining the convenience and administrative efficiency of the system, his face became even more solemn. This was because what he was going to say next was the most important. This would affect the interests of many people, and if he touched the vested interests of others, he would be hated, attacked, and even treated as mortal enemies. ¡°After using the planetary management system, everything can be done on the system. All the data can be reflected in the system. All the reporting materials can be directly generated. All the target assessment systems can be completed automatically. The system will automatically supervise all the work! The system will automatically collect and summarize all the problems encountered at the grassroots level and send them to Dragon City.¡± ¡°So¡­¡± Chapter 321 - 321 Shocking Change, Removal of Lin Tian 321 Shocking Change, Removal of Lin Tian ¡°The secretariat department will become history from today onwards! It will be removed! Everyone in the secretarial department will go to the grassroots level to do work!¡± The secretariat¡¯s job was to help the supervisor write reports. The supervisor would then take the report to his superior. Their other task was to help their supervisors gather relevant personnel for meetings. The planetary management system was completely capable of doing this job. After Lin Tian finished speaking, everyone who was watching the livestream was stunned. Especially the people inside the system, they were even more dumbfounded. If the secretariat department was dismissed, would the supervisor be dismissed? How was a supervisor without a secretary different from an ordinary staff? ¡°Remove all prefecture-level organizations and integrate them into the grassroots! The System will inform everyone where to go!¡± ¡°A Policy Planning Institute will be set up in every state. All the original chief executives of the various localities will work in the Policy Planning Institute. Their remuneration package will not change.¡± ¡°The Policy Planning Institute is in charge of formulating regional development plans. The System will evaluate the feasibility and soundness of the plans. Those who are capable will stay and those who are not will go!¡± ¡°All the departments in the Divine Dragon Country will be changed to the Industry Policy Planning Institute! The person-in-charge will formulate development goals and plans. The supervision and assessment of related industries will be carried out directly by the System.¡± ¡°Unless otherwise approved by Leader Tian, no one is to make ground visits for the purposes of assessment and inspection.¡± ¡°Personnel and rank promotion will be based on the data of the System¡¯s assessment. The previous method will no longer be used.¡± In the past, the supervisor mainly had the final say in personnel matters. The supervisor was satisfied with the people selected in this way, but the public might not be satisfied. ¡°As for the military, any military operation requires a review by the Military Court. I will give the final approval. The regional commander has no direct authority to mobilize troops.¡± After Lin Tian said all these, he took control of the troops from the various regional commanders. He would revoke the government offices in the various districts that were merely paper pushers. He would delegate all the personnel to the grassroots level for them to do actual constructive work. The supervisors would be stripped of their rights over human resources. The System would take over the human resources function. He would fully implement a meritocratic system. Those who specialized in currying favor with their superiors and didn¡¯t actually know how to do proper work would never have the chance to rise again. Those who were truly capable would receive better treatment and more autonomy. Lin Tian¡¯s words were simple, but they contained too much information. ¡°Oh my god, is the world about to change?¡± ¡°If this continues, there would be no supervisors in Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°Leader Tian¡¯s proposal is really good, but it¡¯s too radical! Anyone currently holding power would oppose his idea.¡± ¡°Taking away someone¡¯s power is akin to killing their parents. This is a life and death feud!¡± Many knowledgeable people trembled because of Lin Tian¡¯s words. Lin Tian was going against all the supervisors! He wanted to remove all the supervisors¡¯ jobs and take away their authority. So what if Lin Tian was the Leader? Nothing good would happen to him if he made all the supervisors his enemies. After Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked at the other senior managers in the conference hall. He realized that all the managers were looking at him with anger, confusion, and surprise. ¡°Leader Tian, I don¡¯t agree with your plans! I won¡¯t carry out your request either!¡± At this moment, a person in charge of the industry stood up. His voice was loud and resolute. Then, most people stood up and directly objected to Lin Tian¡¯s opinion. ¡°I disagree too!¡± ¡°I disagree too!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Country is not Leader Tian¡¯s alone. The Dragon Country belongs to everyone!¡± ¡°Leader Tian, I don¡¯t agree with this reform!¡± ¡°The software system makes mistakes, but people don¡¯t make mistakes!¡± ¡°Letting a software system assess us is simply a joke.¡± ¡°Since ancient times, subordinates have been appointed by their superiors. It¡¯s inappropriate and unreasonable for a system to appoint them.¡± Almost 90% of the people in the venue stood up and objected to Lin Tian¡¯s decision. ¡°Leader Tian, I don¡¯t agree with your opinion either!¡± At this moment, the Economics Leader in the front row stood up and directly opposed Lin Tian¡¯s opinion. ¡°Leader Tian, I don¡¯t agree with your opinion either.¡± The Technology Leader, the Justice Leader, the Religious Leader of Honglu Temple, and the Official Administrator all stood up and expressed their opinions. Only the Military Leader sat there calmly and did not say a word. Some people with ulterior motives broadcasted this scene live. Everyone saw it, even people from other countries. ¡°This is non-negotiable. It must be carried out! I must implement the planetary management system. Everything I announced previously will be done without negotiation.¡± Lin Tian glanced at the other Leaders. There was no doubt in his voice, and there was determination. ¡°Leader Tian, if you insist on doing this, we will immediately activate the procedure and remove you from your position!¡± The Economic Leader¡¯s face was extremely serious. ¡°As long as half of the Leaders agree, we can remove you. Leader Tian, it¡¯s a dead end ahead. Retract your order. We can negotiate further.¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon isn¡¯t just yours. It¡¯s everyone¡¯s!¡± The atmosphere in the venue became tense. Everyone was waiting for Lin Tian¡¯s reply. ¡°The planetary management system must be promoted. The policy I just proposed must be implemented!¡± ¡°No one can stop it. This is inevitable. Whoever dares to stop it will be crushed by the wheels of history.¡± Lin Tian said coldly. His tone was extremely stern and even deadly. ¡°Since Leader Tian won¡¯t heed our advice, don¡¯t blame us!¡± ¡°Everyone, I suggest that we immediately start the dismissal procedure for Lin Tian.¡± Seeing that Lin Tian was determined to take away everyone¡¯s power, the Economic Leader no longer hesitated and said ruthlessly. ¡°I agree!¡± The Justice Leader voiced his opinion in a heavy voice. ¡°I agree!¡± The Official Administrator also made his stand clear. ¡°I agree!¡± The Religious Leader of Honglu Temple said. ¡°I agree!¡± The Technology Leader said. ¡°Leader Wang Kui, what about you? What do you think?¡± The Economics Leader looked at Wang Kui. Wang Kui was in charge of the army and controlled the entire country. Wang Kui¡¯s opinion was very important. However, now was not the time to pay attention to this problem. The most important thing now was to remove Lin Tian from his position. Of course, even if Wang Kui had a different opinion, in the eyes of the Economic Leader, it would at most take a bit more effort. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Wang Kui? Why has he suddenly become so young?!¡± Only then did the Economics Leader realize that Wang Kui had become very young. The one who won the hearts of the people would rule the world. This has always been the case since ancient times. In the eyes of the Economics Leader, the popular sentiment was not the approval of the layman, but the approval of the supervisors and the civil servants. This was the popular sentiment. Lin Tian¡¯s plan was to strip everyone of their powers, and he had thus already lost the support of the civil servants. No one would support him. Wang Kui sighed and stood up to look at Lin Tian. Then, he said, ¡°I object!¡± The other commanders didn¡¯t see a hundred armed robots, but he saw them. With a hundred armed robots around, Lin Tian¡¯s decisions could be carried out. Any resistance would be crushed. Wang Kui could see this very clearly. The Economics Leader frowned and glanced at Wang Kui. He looked at Lin Tian and said solemnly, ¡°Six Leaders have voted. Five have agreed to remove Leader Tian from his position. One Leader has objected. According to the procedure, if more than half of the Leaders agree, you will be removed from the position. Lin Tian, your position as the Leader has been removed. Please step down!¡± At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Tian. Everyone outside the livestream also looked at Lin Tian. At this moment, Lin Tian smiled¡­ He knew that he would be opposed, but he did not expect the opposition to come so quickly and strongly. Still¡­ In the face of the armed robots provided by Li Chengqian, they were all defenseless! Chapter 322 - 322 Change 322 Change ¡°I hereby declare the country is in a state of emergency!¡± Lin Tian¡¯s voice was not loud, but it spread to thousands of families through the livestream. He was the Leader and had the right to declare a state of emergency. In the face of an apocalyptic disaster like the asphyxiation virus, the conditions for declaring a state of emergency were fulfilled. As long as the country entered a state of emergency, his removal would be ineffective. In a state of emergency, all laws may be set aside. ¡°I don¡¯t agree! You¡¯re no longer the Leader. You have no right to declare a state of emergency!¡± ¡°Guards, take Lin Tian away!¡± The Economics Leader ordered the guards coldly. Lin Tian snorted coldly. Two armed robots walked forward and stood beside Lin Tian. Right on the heels of that, a black gun barrel emerged from the armed robot¡¯s body. Seeing this, the guards who were hesitating whether to step forward immediately became determined and looked straight ahead. ¡°Guards, take the Economics Leader and the others away!¡± Lin Tian shouted coldly. Then, Lin Tian¡¯s gaze shifted to Wang Kui, ¡°Wang Kui, you¡¯re in charge of this matter!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s attack together. There are so many of us. Lin Tian is not our match!¡± The Economics Leader¡¯s expression turned ferocious as he roared. ¡°If we fall into Lin Tian¡¯s hands, we won¡¯t be able to survive either!¡± Someone in the crowd shouted. Earlier, they said that they were removing him, but in fact, they were seizing power! Now that they were in Lin Tian¡¯s hands, they definitely wouldn¡¯t get away. ¡°Charge!¡± Immediately, the crowd rushed towards Lin Tian in a mess. ¡°I¡¯ve given you a chance!¡± Lin Tian sighed in his heart. He pointed at the charging crowd and ordered, ¡°Kill anyone who comes beyond this line!¡± Swish¡­ Swish! The extremely sharp sound of an air-powered pistol was heard. The people who rushed forward fell one after another. Everyone who rushed beyond the line set by Lin Tian was killed. Beyond the line drawn by Lin Tian, the others looked at the corpses on the ground with fear in their eyes. ¡°Demon, this is a demon!¡± ¡­ In the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s factory, Li Chengqian watched the entire incident. ¡°Brilliant, brilliant!¡± ¡°After this, no one will dare to challenge Lin Tian again.¡± ¡°No one would dare to object to the plans to implement the planetary management system, universal vaccine, nuclear fusion power station, and so on!¡± Li Chengqian had a smile on his face. At this moment, Li Chengqian received a message from the planetary management system. ¡°Planetary management system promotion plan initiated¡­ Estimated completion time is 1 day.¡± ¡°National vaccination program initiated¡­ Estimated completion time is 5 days.¡± ¡°Nuclear fusion power plant construction plan is initiated¡­ Estimated completion time is 324 days.¡± This information was automatically sent to Li Chengqian after Lin Tian activated the plans in the system. The smile on Li Chengqian¡¯s face became even more intense. ¡°Lin Tian is very efficient! He has already activated all three missions.¡± ¡°Since Lin Tian is so proactive in his work, I have to render him full support.¡± ¡°After nurturing the plum tree, the effect of the fruit has improved a lot. I¡¯ll send one to Lin Tian.¡± Li Chengqian knew Lin Tian¡¯s thoughts and desires very well. ¡­ The planetary management system promotion plan had already turned the world upside down. It went viral on the internet. This was because everyone realized that there was an additional software on their phones. This software could not be uninstalled, and it was activated together with the system. However, this software did not take up any space in the system, nor did it send any annoying advertisements. It was called: Divine Dragon Country National App All administrative matters can be handled through this software. One could also look for a job and do online shopping on the software. This single software encompassed almost all the functions of the softwares on the market. Xiaoli was an ordinary student. Because it was the holidays, she was watching a drama serial at home. Ding dong! Xiaoli¡¯s phone went off. ¡°Please be at the hospital in 12 minutes for the flu vaccine.¡± Xiaoli had always been a law-abiding girl. When she saw that the message was released by the country, she got changed and went to the hospital without any hesitation. The community health center was not far from her house. When she went over, someone had just been vaccinated, and she was next in line. When she was receiving the injection, she happened to hear the conversation between the doctors at the community hospital. ¡°This software is really amazing!¡± ¡°The people are coming for their vaccines one by one. There is no down time.¡± ¡°The people didn¡¯t have to queue up. Those who were available were scheduled to come. The system did not schedule anyone who was not available.¡± ¡°I heard that this is called artificial intelligence technology.¡± After the vaccination, Xiaoli took the rare opportunity to go out for a stroll. It was already noon when she got home. ¡°Girl, this Divine Dragon Country app is simply amazing. On the way back from work, I had to pass by the community hospital. Just as I passed by the hospital, the software reminded me that I needed to get vaccinated.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too smart!¡± Xiaoli¡¯s mother exclaimed. Then, Xiaoli¡¯s mother said with a heavy heart, ¡°I heard many people say that the asphyxiation virus has destroyed Sunset and also Xiguo Country, which is bordered by the sunset.¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus has also appeared on a large scale in the countries surrounding Sunset.¡± ¡°At the speed at which the virus is spreading, it will reach the Divine Dragon Country in less than three months¡­¡± ¡°When the time comes¡­¡± ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know what the country is doing. Instead of developing a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus, they are asking us to get a flu vaccine. The flu vaccine is useless against the asphyxiation virus,¡± Xiaoli¡¯s mother complained. ¡°What¡¯s more, I heard from the people in my department that they have also been asked to get the flu vaccination despite the fact that they have already been vaccinated. Some of them had even done so out of pocket.¡± ¡°What a waste!¡± ¡°He said that the Divine Dragon Country National App is an artificial intelligence. I think it is artificially retarded instead,¡± Xiaoli¡¯s mother complained as she cooked. ¡°Wait, everyone was informed to get a flu vaccine?¡± When Xiaoli heard what her mother said, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. Her heart was beating wildly. Then, she entered her thoughts into the search box. Immediately, a large number of blog posts appeared in front of her. ¡°Influenza vaccine? Or an asphyxiation virus vaccine?¡± ¡°Divine Dragon has developed a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus and is vaccinating everyone.¡± ¡­ ¡°Rumor: The vaccine we¡¯re receiving is as good as an asphyxiation virus vaccine.¡± After clicking on a series of headlines, Xiaoli realized that everyone was guessing that the vaccine that was being organized was actually a asphyxiation virus vaccine. It was just that the government kept it a secret. ¡°However, the planetary management system is really a divine tool!¡± Soon, Xiaoli¡¯s mother changed the topic. ¡°In the past, our district office had more than 600 employees, out of which more than 400 were loafers! Even the 50 odd leaders were loafers. They don¡¯t do any constructive work at all. They only cause trouble.¡± ¡°After activating the planetary management system yesterday¡­¡± ¡°There are no more leaders! All the leaders have become normal employees!¡± ¡°All the employees in the district office have been assigned tasks. The leaders also have tasks. The others also have tasks.¡± In Xiaoli¡¯s mother¡¯s opinion, there were not many tasks assigned. As long as she put in a little effort, she could complete them. ¡°Yesterday, some people thought that it was business as usual. They thought that no one could touch them even if they slack off.¡± Some people are used to being the boss and act like they are an emperor. No one could do anything to them. ¡°There are more than 100 people who didn¡¯t do any constructive work¡­¡± ¡°In the end, the system fired these 100 people!¡± ¡°There are also more than 200 people who were slacking off. They will be marked! They will be fired once they have been marked 5 times.¡± ¡°Today, more than 100 people who were fired went to the government to cause trouble. In the end, they were all arrested and sent to the police station. When they were arrested, all of them were crying and howling. It was too tragic,¡± Xiaoli¡¯s mother said contemptuously. People were being fired everywhere in Divine Dragon Country. On the first day the planetary management system was implemented, there were always some people who did not believe in it and wanted to test the quality of the system. Especially those who were used to calling the shots and slacking off at work. They were extremely disappointed because they couldn¡¯t boss others around anymore. They were also unwilling to do some real work when they were asked. According to the statistics of the planetary management system, in just one day, 10% or 400,000 people had lost their jobs. Chapter 323 - 323 Gana Civilization, Miniature War Beasts 323 Gana Civilization, Miniature War Beasts The Gana civilization is an advanced biological civilization. It discovered the existence of Earth one million years ago. Upon discovering the existence of living creatures on Earth, the civilization was overjoyed and sent observers to Earth, hoping to evolve a high-level civilization on Earth. At the same time, in order to ensure biodiversity and specificity, the Gana civilization didn¡¯t interfere with the evolution on Earth. After a million years of guardianship, it was finally time to reap the rewards. The Gana observer was excited at the thought of all kinds of proteins of different types and functions. The Gana observer floated in the void. He absorbed all the visible light and invisible electromagnetic radiation, turned them into energy and stored them in his body. After countless years of evolution and modification, the body of the Gana observer had become an unbelievable biological weapon. His body was a top biological laboratory. He could carry out genetic modification and protein modification in his body. If necessary, his huge body could become a gigantic mother nest. All kinds of powerful life forms encountered during the development of the civilization could be created from his body. ¡°The first step is to modify a special virus and exterminate Earth¡¯s civilization. Then he just had to wait to harvest organic matter.¡± The body of the Gana observer was so large that it was almost one-tenth the size of the Moon. Once activated, it consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, before completing the extermination of Earth¡¯s civilization, he had only awakened a trace of consciousness. It was with this trace of consciousness that he was mobilizing his power to destroy humanity. ¡°The second step is to gather the killed organic matter and use it to create miniature war beasts to actively hunt living creatures.¡± Once the Gana observer gave the order, a huge change took place on Earth. The wandering zombies in Sunset seemed to have received an order, and they began gathering in groups. If someone counted carefully, he would notice a very magical phenomenon. There were exactly 1,000 zombies gathered in each pile. When the zombies gathered together, a mysterious change occurred. All the zombies melted and turned into a puddle of green liquid. The liquid was extremely corrosive. The surrounding trees, flowers, insects, and birds would silently turn into liquid when they fell into the puddle. The next day, the stagnant puddle of liquid suddenly started boiling. A creature that was about a meter long, and as black as a bat burst out of the puddle of liquid. The bat-like creature was as fast as lightning. Even the fastest goshawk on Earth was not as fast as it. Right on the heels of that, bats rushed out of the puddle of liquid one after another. They flew in all directions without making any sound. These bats were the miniature war beasts of the Gana civilization. The bats carried a large number of asphyxiation viruses. Every time they flapped their wings, a large amount of the virus would splatter on the ground, infecting and killing people. Their sharp claws could tear through steel plates. They have a thermal perspective and can easily detect hidden creatures. At the same time, these bats also had the ability to sense ultrasonic waves. Their vision was extremely good, and they could see rats a kilometer away clearly. The bat¡¯s continuous flying ability was also very strong. They could fly 10,000 kilometers without food. Their claws under their wings shone coldly, making people tremble in fear. These bats kept rushing out of the puddle of liquid. There were so many of them that they effectively covered the sky. After all the bats rushed out of the liquid, the bats seemed to have received an order. A portion of them flew down in the direction of the country famous for football. The other portion flew up to Nada Country. There was also a portion that crossed the ocean and flew east. On the other side of the sea was the European Continent! Once the bats reached the European Continent, the entire Continent would be controlled by the asphyxiation virus and there would be carnage. Only a few bats remained in Sunset. As these bats soared in the sky, the animals and plants in Sunset suffered. As long as it was a living creature, it would be thrown into the liquid by the bats. Be it livestock like cows, horses, pigs, or ferocious beasts like jackals, tigers, and leopards, as long as they were thrown into the liquid, their bodies would quickly melt like an ice cream on a hot day. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian and Lin Tian were looking at the images transmitted by the satellite. Both of them were very solemn. What they saw was the scenes from Sunset. ¡°Li Chengqian, what do you think we should do next?¡± ¡°Use missiles to shoot down these things?¡± Lin Tian said solemnly. Li Chengqian shook his head and said calmly, ¡°Leader Tian, that is not necessary for the time being.¡± ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s useless!¡± There were hundreds of thousands of points that produced bats like this on Sunset. Even if all the missiles of the Divine Dragon Country were deployed, they would not be able to completely cover them. Moreover, the asphyxiation virus was constantly spreading, and there would be more and more of such puddles of liquid in Sunset. ¡°Although these bats look terrifying, even if these bats are added up, they can¡¯t be as powerful as the asphyxiation virus.¡± ¡°The most important thing now is to get the entire population vaccinated against the asphyxiation virus.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s face was still solemn. He understood the logic, but when he saw terrifying creatures rush out of the liquid, he couldn¡¯t help but feel the urge to kill them all. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the vaccine. It¡¯s all done!¡± ¡°Regarding the nuclear fusion power station, all the equipment orders have been placed.¡± ¡°The location of the power station has been decided. The land has been flattened and the construction is underway.¡± ¡°In order to ensure that the power station can be completed in less than a year, the planetary management system has mobilized a million people to work on the construction of the power station.¡± After Lin Tian reported this matter, he was filled with admiration for the efficiency of the planetary management system. If he had used ordinary management methods, he probably wouldn¡¯t even have drafted the document, let alone build a fusion power station. He silently calculated the amount of work completed by the planetary management system in the past month. If it was done using normal management methods, it might take two years to complete. ¡°That¡¯s right. The nuclear fusion plant is the core of the plan. Other plans can only be implemented after the nuclear fusion plant is built.¡± ¡°Only then will we have hope.¡± Li Chengqian nodded. His expression was also very solemn. And he pulled a long face. The appearance of the bats reminded him of his memories from his previous life. In his previous life, he had seen these bats. They were simply demons! Modern weapons were basically unable to hurt the bats, but the bats¡¯ terrifying senses could find anyone hiding anywhere and kill them. In his previous life, many people who hid underground were found and killed by bats. Chapter 324 - 324 Confession: Insufficient Power 324 Confession: Insufficient Power ¡°Li Chengqian, you definitely knew something!¡± Lin Tian looked at Li Chengqian and said with certainty. He recalled the things Li Chengqian asked him to do, especially the planetary management system. He knew that Li Chengqian definitely knew the inside story. ¡°What are these bats?¡± Lin Tian pointed at the bats on the screen. They were preying on the people. Li Chengqian shook his head and said in an extremely serious voice, ¡°I don¡¯t know what this bat-like ghostly thing is either.¡± ¡°But they prey on humans!¡± ¡°All animals are their prey.¡± ¡°They¡¯re very powerful. Even guns can¡¯t kill them.¡± ¡°They are very fast. When they grow to a certain extent, their speed will reach the speed of sound, or even exceed it.¡± ¡°Humans are defenseless against such a monster.¡± After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at the screen more and more intently. ¡°Can the air-powered pistol kill them? Can the armed robots kill them?¡± Lin Tian continued to ask. ¡°It can incapacitate them, but it can¡¯t kill them!¡± Li Chengqian still shook his head. The bat¡¯s anatomy was very strange. They have no vulnerable spots. Unless he burned them to ashes with fire, it was impossible to completely kill the bats. ¡°Only by burning the bats to ashes can we kill them!¡± Lin Tian looked worried. According to the satellite statistics, there were at least a million bats born in the countries surrounding Sunset. If these millions of indestructible bats rushed to the Divine Dragon, the consequences would be horrendous. What made Lin Tian feel at ease was that Sunset was very far from the Divine Dragon. It would be difficult for them to reach the Divine Dragon in a short period of time, no matter how fast they were. However, based on the speed of the bats, that day wouldn¡¯t be far away! ¡°Li Chengqian, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first!¡± Lin Tian already had a plan in his heart. When he got back, he would get all the armament manufacturers to produce flamethrowers at full force. As long as the bats dared to step into the land of the Divine Dragon, they would immediately give him a hard time and let them know how powerful the Divine Dragon was. ¡°Leader Tian, you don¡¯t have to worry about the weapons for dealing with the bats!¡± ¡°We will have them soon! You don¡¯t have to arrange for the armament manufacturers to produce flamethrowers.¡± Li Chengqian read Lin Tian¡¯s mind at a glance. He quickly stopped him. In fact, the flamethrowers were not effective enough on bats. This was because these bats were especially adaptable. They were like the bugs in StarCraft and would undergo targeted evolution. As long as a wave of bats died from the flamethrowers, the bodies of the other bats would adapt to the high temperature of the flamethrowers. After evolution, the flamethrower would no longer have an effect on the bats. Laser arms were the only choice for destroying the bats! Laser arms could release a large amount of energy in an instant. The dense and huge energy was invincible. Even if the bats evolved countless times, they wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it. It would be best if the Observer of the Gana civilization came. ¡°Leader Tian, the asphyxiation virus that appeared previously and the bats that have appeared now are actually not natural occurrences.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all methods used by aliens to attack Earth.¡± In fact, Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know much about the alien¡¯s methods. He knew from what happened in his previous life that the asphyxiation virus was released by the aliens. The bats were the aliens¡¯ pets. The bats would slaughter any human being they met. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t know much else other than this. ¡°I feel that the aliens have only been probing thus far. They have not really taken action.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. ¡°Previously, when I asked you to promote the planetary management system, it was also part of the defense plan. At that time, the asphyxiation virus had broken out, but the bats had yet to appear. If I had told you that the asphyxiation virus was the alien¡¯s weapon, you definitely wouldn¡¯t believe me.¡± Li Chengqian thought about it and felt that there was no need to continue keeping the matter of the aliens a secret. He had to let Lin Tian know about the aliens so that Lin Tian could better complete the rest of the work. Although there were some things that could be hidden from Lin Tian, there was no need for that anymore. ¡°That¡¯s why I want you to push for the planetary management system at all costs.¡± ¡°In the face of a terrifying disaster, we need to unite all our forces. Only by combining all our forces into one can we have hope of survival.¡± ¡°Leader Tian, in addition to the technology for the construction of nuclear fusion power stations, I also have laser cannons, automatic attack arrays, cosmic radar, and other related technologies.¡± ¡°Next, I want to complete the construction of the planetary laser defense cannon and the radar array in the solar system, within three months.¡± ¡°Please give me your support!¡± Li Chengqian said sincerely. Of course, Li Chengqian still had some top-secret technologies in his hands. He didn¡¯t reveal them though. Moreover, he had already made arrangements and started construction for some powerful projects. Lin Tian had in fact already guessed as much. Li Chengqian merely confirmed it. ¡°Li Chengqian, just go ahead and do it! Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I will support you unconditionally in any decision you make. You can directly allocate any resources as you deem fit,¡± Lin Tian said firmly and magnanimously. Although Lin Tian still had some doubts in his heart that had not been answered. For example, where did Li Chengqian obtain the advanced technologies? How did Li Chengqian know about the aliens in advance? However, compared to the problem of human survival, these questions were no longer important. ¡°Leader Tian! Thank you!¡± After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he opened the planetary management system. ¡°Mission 1: Build 36 planetary laser defense cannons!¡± ¡°Mission 2: Build a radar array in the solar system!¡± ¡°Leader Tian, for your approval, please.¡± These two missions had already entered Leader Tian¡¯s system. Leader Tian clicked to approve it without any hesitation. During this period of time, he had been using the planetary management system. Lin Tian had already understood the system¡¯s mechanism. As long as he approved it, the planetary management system would allocate suitable manpower, material resources, and other related resources for construction without affecting the normal operation of the society. If there were insufficient human or material resources in the original resource pool, the planetary management system would release information through the system and directly recruit the resources that were needed. The operating efficiency was extremely high! In the past, Lin Tian had always felt that Li Chengqian¡¯s words were exaggerated. After he got used to the planetary management system, he realized that Li Chengqian had understated it when he said the system was one hundred times more efficient. The planetary management system increased the original efficiency by hundreds of times. Moreover, the larger the country, the higher the efficiency. The more things needed to be done, the higher the efficiency. ¡­ Lin Tian had just returned to Dragon City from the Divine Dragon Company when he saw a message from the planetary management system. ¡°Bats have arrived! Bats feed on humans! They are indestructible!¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus has spread to thirteen countries within one day. The thirteen countries were wiped out on the same day.¡± ¡°Thirty million humans have turned into zombies, and a new bat nest has appeared in Europe.¡± When Lin Tian saw the notification from the planetary management system, his expression became even more solemn. Europe and the Divine Dragon were on the same continent and were connected. Based on the speed of the bat¡¯s expansion and the spread of the asphyxiation virus, the virus would enter Divine Dragon Country much sooner than he had expected. ¡°After everyone has been vaccinated, we won¡¯t be afraid of the asphyxiation virus!¡± This was the advantage of Divine Dragon. Without a vaccine, there was no hope of survival at all. The Divine Dragon Country would be as good as dead once the bats came. ¡°Now, the most terrifying thing is the bats¡­¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let these demons enter Divine Dragon¡¯s territory.¡± ¡°I wonder how Li Chengqian¡¯s weapon production is going.¡± The only hope was in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. ¡­ Meanwhile, Li Chengqian, whom Lin Tian had been thinking about, was listening to Bai Ze¡¯s report. ¡°Master, 1,000 Laser platforms in the air have been completed!¡± ¡°All of them are equipped with super batteries and atmospheric laser platforms. They can be connected to the automatic attack array. They can lock onto the target in 0.001 seconds and fire high-energy lasers.¡± ¡°After the battery on the platform is fully charged, it can perform 1,000 destructive sniper shots! The powerful explosives on the platform can destroy a bat nest.¡± ¡°With these laser platforms, as long as we drive the platforms to the border, we can kill as many bats as they come.¡± ¡°However, the platforms consume a lot of electricity. It would be challenging for the current power station to support them. We urgently need to solve the energy issue.¡± ¡°If all the bats come to Divine Dragon, we would have just enough power in Divine Dragon to support the laser platforms.¡± Bai Ze¡¯s voice was calm and even. If it was powerful, it naturally meant that it consumed a lot of energy! This was a universal truth. ¡°Bai Ze, how long before the fusion power station can be used?¡± Li Chengqian asked with a frown. In fact, he didn¡¯t expect to encounter an energy issue so soon. ¡°At this rate, it will take another five months before it can be used.¡± ¡°Bai Ze, find an alternative plan for the transition period. As long as we can hold on until the fusion power station is built, the energy issue can be completely resolved.¡± After the fusion power station was successfully built, the electricity produced was a thousand times more than all the current power stations in the world combined. The amount of electricity produced was extremely terrifying. ¡°Calculating¡­¡± Codes kept flashing on Bai Ze¡¯s big screen. Chapter 325 - 325 Weapons Platform Test 325 Weapons Platform Test On Ibiri Island, bats ran rampant. The local armed forces instantly collapsed under the attack of the bats. Ibiri Island had long received the news that the bats were coming. Under the organization of the local government, the armed forces of Ibiri Island faced the battle with high spirits. Then, they saw that the sky was filled with black bats. ¡°Fire!¡± The order was given. Machine guns! Cannons! Missiles! Incendiary bombs, thermobaric bombs. All kinds of bullets and bombs were fired at the bat. ¡°Send these monsters to hell¡­¡± ¡°Burn them!¡± Amidst the soldiers¡¯ wild roars, the bats covered in smoke and fire revealed themselves again. ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god, that¡¯s impossible!¡± The terrifying attacks just now did not cause any damage to the bats. Just as they were about to focus their second attack, the bat¡¯s started their attack. The bats were too fast, bringing with them terrifying sonic booms. They rushed over like sharp swords that pierced through the sky. The soldiers of Ibiri Island were torn apart by the bats before they could even react. Only the soldiers hiding in the tanks survived. However, the soldiers hiding in the tanks still perished in the end because the bats flapped their wings a few times above the tanks, and a large amount of dust carrying the asphyxiation virus fell from their wings. The air purification system for the tanks was insufficient to filter out the asphyxiation virus. After a while, the soldiers who thought that they had escaped death began to cough¡­ ¡­ At this moment, in the sky above Ibiri Island, a magnetic plane more than 100 meters long was in stealth mode, quietly floating in midair. This magnetic plane was very different from ordinary magnetic planes. The magnetic plane looked like a platform floating in the air. A diamond about three meters in diameter was floating above the platform. The diamond kept spinning. It looked beautiful under the sunlight. ¡°Laser weapons platform test begins!¡± ¡°Radar lock¡­ lock on 175 bats!¡± ¡°Secondary laser weapon activated¡­ successfully activated!¡± One fist-sized diamond after another emerged from the platform. Each diamond was connected to a cable. ¡°Laser weapon charging¡­ successfully charged!¡± As it was being charged, the color of the diamond looked even more gorgeous and beautiful. ¡°Fire!¡± A short and powerful voice sounded. Each diamond emitted a laser beam. The laser beam shot towards the bats under the clouds according to the direction locked by the radar. The laser¡¯s attack speed reached the speed of light. The bats three kilometers away from the laser platform fell from the sky like dumplings. As they fell, their bodies turned into balls of flames and were directly burned up by the intense energy of the laser beams. ¡°Laser platform test completed!¡± ¡°Laser weapons are lethal to the bats! Kill rate is 100%!¡± ¡°The success rate of the new radar lock is 100%!¡± ¡°The range of the new laser radar is 200 kilometers!¡± ¡°Continue the next phase of the test!¡± ¡°Laser cannon test begins¡­¡± ¡°Locking on the nest is successful!¡± ¡°Starting charging¡­¡± ¡°10¡­9¡­8¡­¡± ¡°Fire!¡± The diamonds on the weapons platform instantly emitted a dazzling light. In the next moment, on the land 1,000 kilometers away from the laser platform, a pond-like bat nest emitted a dazzling light. After the light faded, there was only a huge pit that kept smoking where the nest originally was. At the bottom of the pit was molten soil, just like the state after a volcanic eruption. The original liquid biomass was evaporated by the cannon, leaving nothing behind. In the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s command center, Lin Tian and Li Chengqian smiled at the same time. ¡°Laser cannon test successful!¡± ¡°The effect is not bad!¡± Lin Tian couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°How is it just not bad? It¡¯s very good!¡± ¡°With the speed of the magnetic plane, as long as 50 laser platforms are deployed, any bats that come to Divine Dragon will be instantly destroyed,¡± Lin Tian said excitedly. In fact, the bats¡¯ individual combat strength was not terrifying. The most terrifying thing was the asphyxiation virus carried by the bats. Therefore, as long as the bats flew around that country and dropped off the virus, it could destroy the country. Bats were large virus dissemination machines. For other countries, this is fatal. However, this was useless against Divine Dragon. Because everyone in Divine Dragon had been vaccinated, they would not be infected by the asphyxiation virus. Therefore, as long as he could take the bats down from the sky and kill them, that would be enough. ¡°Leader Tian, we have already produced 100 laser platforms!¡± ¡°Command has been handed over to the planetary management system. If you need it, you can mobilize it at any time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that the laser platforms consume a lot of electricity¡­ Many cities will lack electricity when they have been fully deployed. In order not to affect people¡¯s normal lives, it needs to be charged during off-peak hours.¡± ¡°If we have enough power supply, we can deploy all the laser platforms and kill all the bats in Sunset. We can also destroy all the monsters¡¯ nests.¡± ¡°But now¡­ we can only protect ourselves.¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s tone was filled with helplessness. Lack of electricity! It was a terrible problem! In fact, besides the laser combat platforms, there were also many other areas that lacked electricity. The solar system radar array was already half completed, but due to the lack of electricity, it could not function normally. It could only operate at 0.01% power. The effect of the radar was greatly reduced and could only cover the surface of the planet! The radar could not detect the skies outside the atmosphere. One unit of the planetary power cannon platform and the laser solar cannon platform have also been installed. Due to the lack of electricity, they could not conduct formal experiments. ¡°This electricity issue¡­ is really difficult! Energy is the lifeline of everything!¡± Lin Tian also frowned. Even if they disregarded costs and ran the power stations in Divine Dragon at full capacity, they still couldn¡¯t supply enough power to support the radar and weapons. Even the abandoned nuclear power plant had been reopened. All the shuttered thermal power stations had started to generate electricity again. There was still insufficient energy. If he wanted to completely solve the energy problem, he had to wait for the nuclear fusion power plant to be completed and activated. ¡°I¡¯ve already excavated all the resources I can, but the energy consumption of the weapons platform and radar system is too high. Comparatively speaking, it¡¯s a drop in the bucket! The only way now is to wait for the fusion power station to be completed!¡± Lin Tian said helplessly. ¡°But the fusion power station is almost there!¡± Lin Tian was in a good mood. After discovering that the laser weapon platform could protect the Divine Dragon Country, he felt as if a huge weight had been taken off his chest and he was much more relaxed. After the two of them chatted for a while, Lin Tian changed the topic and talked about something else. ¡°Li Chengqian, our development of the asphyxiation virus vaccine has been exposed!¡± In fact, neither of them was surprised by the exposure. After all, it was very difficult to keep a matter as major as a nation-wide asphyxiation virus vaccination exercise a secret! ¡°A few of our vaccines have been leaked to Japan. They have tested and verified that it was effective against the asphyxiation virus.¡± ¡°Recently, many countries have come to us for help.¡± ¡°Requesting us to provide a vaccine against the asphyxiation virus!¡± ¡°Many of the surrounding countries have applied to join the Divine Dragon Country. Even the areas that didn¡¯t recognize us in the past have taken the initiative to join us.¡± When Lin Tian said this, he looked a little conflicted. Regardless of the era, expanding a country¡¯s territory was something major. It was also something all rulers hoped to do. Judging from the current world situation, as long as Lin Tian agreed, he would have a place in the history books. As long as he agreed, the title of Planet Captain in the planetary management system might become a reality. However, the situation was special now. Limited resources must be concentrated in the region of the Divine Dragon Country. Once the resources were distributed, the consequences would be unpredictable. Moreover, was Li Chengqian supportive? This was very important! ¡°There are also some countries where many ordinary people entered our territory illegally.¡± ¡°Everyone in the world wants to take refuge in the Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°I want to hear your opinion.¡± After saying that, Lin Tian looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, ¡°If it was just to take advantage of Divine Dragon, I naturally can¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°If they are sincere about becoming part of the Divine Dragon, I suggest you agree.¡± ¡°However, we have to implement the planetary management system!¡± ¡°All the resources must be concentrated in Divine Dragon to provide raw materials for the construction of the space defense cannon.¡± ¡°All electricity will be transferred to Divine Dragon to provide energy for our plan.¡± ¡°We can only provide them with two things. The first is the vaccine!¡± The production of vaccines was extremely fast, and it was completely automated. Tens of millions of vaccines could be produced each day. ¡°The second is an efficient management tool: the planetary management system!¡± With the planetary management system, Li Chengqian could do many things. Lin Tian¡¯s face was filled with joy. ¡°I understand!¡± ¡°Currently, Japan, Water Bay, Annan, Magu, and other countries have already submitted the declaration of merger. Their heads of state are also in Dragon City¡­¡± ¡°Since you have no objections, I¡¯ll accept their request to merge them into Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°I¡¯m planning to hold the merger ceremony in Dragon City in a few days. If you¡¯re free, please come and take a look.¡± Chapter 326 - 326 The World Is Stunned 326 The World Is Stunned Dragon City, Victory Square. Ever since the planetary management system took over Divine Dragon, the entire country had been buzzing. Everyone had their own jobs under the planetary management system. There were fewer people loafing in society. Even on the streets, everyone looked busy and purposeful. August 8th is a public holiday in Divine Dragon. Apart from the departments that maintained public order and provided essential services, the rest were on vacation. Victory Square had already been decorated, and it looked festive. The regional merger congress was held at 10 a. m. and was broadcast live on national television. Based on the agenda, a short military parade was to be held from 10am to 10:30am. A ceremonial map would be merged from 10:30am to 11am. Lin Tian would deliver a speech from 11am to 12pm. The stands around Victory Square were already filled with people who had spontaneously come over. Everyone was overjoyed. In the meeting room above Victory Tower, the leaders, the senior commanders from the Ministry of Defense, the envoys and heads of states who requested for the merger were gathered. Li Chengqian also came. He found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin. Sun Island, Water Bay, Eight Trigrams¡­ There were more countries that came than Li Chengqian had imagined. All the countries related to the Divine Dragon cultural circle were here! ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, it¡¯s about time! Let¡¯s go to the observation platform in front of Victory Tower!¡± Wang Wenhao of the Honglu Temple was the emcee. He led the dozens of people in the venue to the gate tower of the Victory Tower. When they reached the gate tower, Wang Kui took the microphone and spoke solemnly. ¡°The first item on the agenda is to raise the Divine Dragon flag and sing the invincible song!¡± ¡°Everyone, stand up! Salute!¡± ¡°Eighty-one salutations!¡± Following the roar of the cannons, Lin Tian took the lead and sang the invincible song. The others followed suit. Even the envoys and ministers started singing. The guards of honor raised the Divine Dragon flag in an extremely solemn manner. The Divine Dragon flag fluttered in the wind. ¡°The second item on the agenda is a military parade! Begin!¡± On Wang Kui¡¯s order, everyone looked down the end of the road. The military parade this time was different from usual. Usually, the soldiers and the weapons would be at the head of the parade. But this time, there were no soldiers or arms in Victory Square. Everyone was very curious. How was the military parade going to be held? Moreover, there was only half an hour? Was that enough? ¡°Armed robots, enter!¡± ¡°The armed robots are fully automatic war machines. They carry 200,000 bullets and have an effective attack range of 20 kilometers! The kill rate of the bullets is 100%.¡± ¡°The special bullets can easily destroy tanks, tanks, ships, armed helicopters, and other weapons and equipment.¡± ¡°The armed robots can adapt to all terrain combat. Their movement speed is 90 kilometers per hour. They can fight in extreme combat environments for more than 10 days.¡± ¡°The logistics are simple. It only takes an hour to complete the power and ammunition replenishment.¡± ¡°The armed robots¡¯ bodies are made of titanium alloy and can withstand missile attacks.¡± ¡°This is an indestructible war machine! The grim reaper of the battlefield!¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a war, an armed robot can easily destroy two well-equipped and well-trained battalions.¡± ¡°The existence of armed robots can guarantee that we will be invincible in war!¡± As the host was explaining, the 100 armed robots lined up in ten rows. They were extremely neat and fast. They let out rumbling sounds as they passed through the Square below the city tower. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Hearing the announcer¡¯s introduction, everyone gasped. In particular, the few national leaders and envoys who requested to merge with the Divine Dragon were shocked. ¡°Grim reaper! This is the grim reaper of the battlefield!¡± ¡°As long as Divine Dragon sends out an armed robot, it can destroy our country!¡± ¡°This is too terrifying!¡± ¡°With this kind of weapon, no one would dare to have a conflict with Divine Dragon.¡± While exclaiming at the horror of armed robots, many people also thought of another benefit of the armed robots. ¡°The armed robots are so powerful. They might be able to kill the bats!¡± ¡°If there¡¯s an armed robot stationed at the border, the bats can¡¯t enter. Perhaps I can ask Leader Tian for one later.¡± The people watching the parade on television and the people watching the parade at the stands, they all widened their eyes in shock after hearing the introduction of the armed robots. Then, they began to discuss with bright eyes. ¡°No wonder. No wonder we didn¡¯t see any soldiers during this military parade. We didn¡¯t see any armed vehicles. With the armed robots around¡­ There¡¯s really no need for them to appear!¡± ¡°Awesome, our country is really awesome!¡± ¡°The armed robots are the kings of land! No weapon can compare to the armed robots.¡± When the live broadcast showed the shocked foreigners, everyone¡¯s mood became even better. ¡°Look, that woman from Water Bay¡¯s jaw almost dropped when she saw the armed robots!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the gossip? His eyes almost fell out of their sockets! He definitely didn¡¯t expect Divine Dragon to develop such a terrifying war machine.¡± Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the armed robots quickly disappeared at the end of the road. The host¡¯s clear voice sounded again. ¡°Next up is the small planet magnetic plane.¡± ¡°The small planet magnetic plane has low energy consumption and high speed. It can fly at an altitude of 12,000 meters. Its normal flying speed can reach 6,000 kilometers per hour. The plane is driven by electric energy. Under normal flying conditions, it can continue flying for a month.¡± ¡°The plane has the effect of electromagnetic invisibility and optical invisibility! It won¡¯t be detected by radar or human eyes. Using magnetic power, it won¡¯t produce any noise during flight and won¡¯t produce infrared light. It¡¯s almost impossible to detect.¡± ¡°The aircraft has a large capacity. It can carry a nuclear warhead of maximum yield and can carry 600 tons of bombs!¡± ¡°The magnetic plane can drop a bomb anywhere under any circumstances! It can send our armed robots anywhere under any circumstances. It can also evacuate our citizens from dangerous places under dangerous circumstances.¡± Following the host¡¯s voice, a total of 20 chubby-looking magnetic planes suddenly appeared in the sky and floated 10 meters above the ground. The plane floated over at high speed, making no sound. As it floated over, everyone exclaimed when the planes suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared again. Everyone looked at the magnetic planes in disbelief. Then, under Wang Kui¡¯s control, the planes floated up silently and landed again. When they reached the center of the square, the magnetic planes moved at full speed, emitting the sound of an explosion that broke the sound barrier. It instantly disappeared in a circle fo white fog and rose into the sky. When the foreigners saw the performance of the magnetic planes, everyone widened their eyes in shock. ¡°How is this possible! What kind of technology is this!¡± ¡°How can there be such an advanced plane! It¡¯s impossible for Divine Dragon to have such powerful technology!¡± ¡°Oh my god, this plane can silently send a nuclear bomb to the capital of another country and instantly destroy the country.¡± ¡°Vertical takeoff and landing, physical invisibility¡­ hypervelocity, extended flight range, hyper capacity¡­ Divine Dragon has overtaken the world in more than one way.¡± ¡°A magnetic plane! This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°In an instant, it broke the sound barrier. The power of the magnetic plane is a hundred times stronger than that of a sixth-generation plane!¡± Ordinary people didn¡¯t know about technology. They only looked at the surface and saw the magnetic planes suddenly disappear. Then, they saw the magnetic planes suddenly appear high in the sky. Everyone found this legendary scene unbelievable. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Shocking, too f*cking shocking!¡± ¡°Awesome, the country is really awesome! They even made a magnetic plane!¡± ¡°Look at the big screen. The foreigners¡¯ expressions are hilarious.¡± Someone also noticed the foreigners¡¯ stunned expressions on the big screen. At this moment, Lin Tian was standing in the middle of the city tower. Looking at everything that was happening in the Square, his heart swelled with pride. He looked at the foreigners around him from the corners of his eyes. Although these people hid it well, he could still see fear and envy on their faces. ¡°The real good stuff hasn¡¯t even been brought to the stage, and you are already so stunned!¡± Chapter 327 - 327 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 1 327 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 1 After the magnetic plane was demonstrated, everyone was amazed by the prowess of the weapons! They were so advanced, more advanced than any country in the world. Even if Sunset hadn¡¯t perished, it was impossible for them to have such high-tech weapons. However, it was about time! Even if Divine Dragon had been developing its technology rapidly, the armed robots and magnetic planes would be about all that they have got. Not only did the foreigners think so, the ordinary people thought so too. Just then, the host spoke again. ¡°Next up is the laser combat platform!¡± ¡°The laser combat platform is an aerial combat platform. It can move freely within a range of 30,000 meters. The platform uses lasers as weapons. It has extremely strong explosive power and an effective tool range of 200 kilometers.¡± ¡°The laser combat platform has all the characteristics of a magnetic plane!¡± ¡°The laser combat platform uses the radar array system to lock on up to 500 targets at the same time.¡± ¡°Tests have confirmed that the laser combat platform can also easily destroy the bats that have recently appeared in Sunset.¡± ¡°The effective range of the laser combat platform¡¯s secondary cannon is 200 kilometers.¡± ¡°The effective range of the main cannon is 2,000 kilometers! One attack from the main cannon can directly destroy the bats¡¯ nests.¡± ¡°Next, we will deploy a large number of laser combat platforms at the borders to ensure that all the monster bats near our borders are killed.¡± The host¡¯s crisp voice sounded in the square. As the host spoke, the laser combat platform floated about 100 meters away from the ground. On the laser combat platform, the diamonds sparkled under the sunlight. They were a beautiful sight. At the same time, on the big screen in the Square, the test video of the laser combat platform was played. The laser combat platform locked onto a group of invincible bats that were slaughtering the crowds. ¡°Fire!¡± A cold mechanical voice sounded. There was a flash of light on the laser combat platform, and the invincible bats fell from the sky like dumplings. Then, they burst into flames in midair. After burning up, they fell to the ground as black ashes. Whether it was the audience in front of the television or the people at the scene, when they saw the video, they were first shocked, then ecstatic. ¡°Great! The bats can be killed!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! The bats are not invincible. Divine Dragon¡¯s laser combat platform can destroy the bats.¡± ¡°As long as we get the support of the Divine Dragon, we can also defeat the bats.¡± ¡°Damn it, I knew it¡­ Divine Dragon really didn¡¯t disappoint. It has kept its trump card.¡± ¡°There is hope for us. We can be saved. The country has the weapon to kill the bats.¡± Before anyone could finish speaking, the scene on the big screen suddenly changed. The main cannon in the middle of the laser combat platform suddenly lit up, and a laser beam shot out like a ray of sunlight. A scene of the nest being annihilated was played. ¡°We have the ability to protect our people. Please rest assured.¡± ¡°The asphyxiation virus is terrifying, but everyone in our country has been vaccinated. The terrifying virus has no effect on the people of Divine Dragon.¡± Because the time was ripe, under Lin Tian¡¯s signal, the host informed everyone that they had been vaccinated. ¡°The bats are terrifying. They can¡¯t be killed with the usual weapons, but they can¡¯t withstand a single blow from the laser combat platform that we control.¡± At the same time, they took this opportunity to tell all the citizens that the Country has the ability to protect everyone. ¡°Everyone, please believe in the Country¡¯s ability and work in peace. The Country will give everyone a safe environment.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll never let anything threaten our lives.¡± ¡°We have the determination and the ability to do all of this!¡± ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s military parade¡­ Thank you, everyone!¡± The military parade officially ended as the host¡¯s voice fell. The laser combat platform floating in the air also activated its invisibility mode and disappeared under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes. Most people were originally fearful and despairing for the future because of the asphyxiation virus and the bats. Everyone had been feeling tense during this period of time. Their fear and despair had dissipated because of this military parade. ¡°So we¡¯ve already been vaccinated. The asphyxiation virus can¡¯t infect us at all.¡± ¡°Wow, my country is amazing. They¡¯ve already done everything in secret.¡± ¡°The internet also says that bats are invincible, and our country will be finished once they enter. I thought so too. But they died instantly under the laser combat platform¡¯s attack.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. I can finally sleep in peace. I¡¯ve been worried that the bats will suddenly rush to Divine Dragon¡­ With the laser combat platform, the bats will never have the chance to come over.¡± The internet was buzzing with praise. Due to the arrival of the bats and the asphyxiation virus, Europe had been extremely nervous and had set up a large number of arms at the borders. Most of the country¡¯s resources were focused on preventing the invasion of the bats. However, they have been watching the Divine Dragon¡¯s livestream this time too. After Sunset had perished, Divine Dragon was the only superpower in the world. A major event like the military parade would naturally attract everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Divine Dragon has already developed a vaccine for the asphyxiation virus. As long as you get vaccinated, you won¡¯t be infected by the virus!¡± ¡°Oh my god, we need the vaccine!¡± Chapter 328 - 328 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 2 328 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 2 ¡°We have to get the vaccine, no matter what the price is!¡± This was the unanimous opinion of the leaders in a foreign country. This was because in a foreign country not far away, a bat flew over its skies and spread the virus. In just three days, the country with tens of millions of people was wiped out! The bats were scary, but compared to the bats, the really scary thing was the viruses. Even if tens of millions of people stood there and allowed the bats to kill them, it would still take a few years for the bats to kill them all. And when countries with tens of millions of people encountered the asphyxiation virus, they would all die in a few days. ¡°We need the protection of the Divine Dragon! We need the laser combat platform!¡± ¡°Send a Diplomacy note to Divine Dragon immediately and request for their support. We need vaccines and weapons. Please ask them to help us.¡± ¡°We can accept any price! We can agree to any condition.¡± The leaders of the foreign country said anxiously. Nothing was more important than survival. Similar to the foreign country, there were many people paying attention to the military parade that Divine Dragon held. After watching the military parade, they were initially stunned, then ecstatic. Their reaction was no different from the foreign country¡¯s. They immediately contacted Divine Dragon and asked for its protection and vaccine. They were willing to agree to any condition in exchange for these two things. Many world leaders saw from the livestream that the leaders of Water Bay, Sun Island and other countries were at the parade. They knew why they were there. They were going to merge with Divine Dragon! They were seeking the protection of Divine Dragon during these difficult times! They thought about it and came up with a brilliant idea. They imitated the approach of Water Bay and other areas. They took their country¡¯s map and applied to be incorporated into Divine Dragon. Then, they boarded a private plane and headed to Divine Dragon. ¡°Requesting to join the Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°As long as our country becomes a territory of Divine Dragon and our citizens become the citizens of Divine Dragon, Divine Dragon will definitely send out the laser combat platform to protect our country.¡± ¡°In order to protect our people, Divine Dragon will use the most advanced weapons. Their country¡¯s philosophy is not to give up on any of its people. This is their tradition.¡± The leaders of almost all the countries in the world rushed to Divine Dragon to meet Lin Tian. ¡­ Dragon City, Victory Square. After the military parade ended, Wang Kui took over the host¡¯s microphone. ¡°Next, let¡¯s proceed to the second item on the conference agenda. I invite Leader Tian to speak. Everyone, please welcome him!¡± Amidst the applause, Lin Tian walked out beaming. After a short and powerful opening speech, Lin Tian said, ¡°People of the country, don¡¯t worry. We have the ability to deal with all crises.¡± ¡°We also have the ability to protect you under any circumstances!¡± ¡°Please work in peace. Working in peace is the foundation for us to overcome all difficulties.¡± Lin Tian specially said a few words to boost morale. Right on the heels of that, his tone changed, and his expression became extremely solemn. Besides cheering everyone on and boosting their morale, he had come to speak on something even more important. That was to introduce the source of the armed robots and magnetic planes. Introducing¡­ Li Chengqian! And¡­ integrating the Divine Dragon Company into the national system! Inviting Li Chengqian on stage and introducing him as someone who was on equal footing with him. Each of these things would change the leadership structure of Divine Dragon. ¡°Just now, we displayed advanced and powerful weapons such as the armed robots, the magnetic planes, and the laser combat platforms. These weapons can completely protect us. No one can hurt us.¡± ¡°But does anyone know where these weapons came from?¡± When Lin Tian said this, he deliberately paused for a while and looked around. When the foreigners participating in the conference heard Lin Tian¡¯s words, they were also very curious and waited for Lin Tian to announce the answer. Some even had other thoughts. ¡°If I could cancel my deals with the arms supplier and buy weapons from them¡­¡± Before they could fantasize, Lin Tian continued, ¡°All the weapons we displayed today came from the Divine Dragon Company. They were all developed by Mr. Li Chengqian, the owner of the Company.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the most outstanding scientist of this century! He¡¯s a technological genius!¡± ¡°Besides the weapons, the vaccine that everyone took was also developed and produced by Mr. Li Chengqian!¡± ¡°So, Mr. Li Chengqian is not only a genius, but also a scientist!¡± ¡°He¡¯s also our savior. Without him, we would die at the hands of the asphyxiation virus soon.¡± ¡°His contributions are earth-shattering!¡± ¡°Today, Mr. Li Chengqian is also here at the city gate tower¡­ Please let us bow to him and thank him for everything he has done for us!¡± After Lin Tian finished speaking, under everyone¡¯s gaze, he turned around in the direction of Li Chengqian and bowed deeply! When everyone on the city gate tower heard Lin Tian¡¯s words and saw Lin Tian¡¯s actions, they also looked at Li Chengqian respectfully and bowed deeply. ¡°Thank you for everything you¡¯ve done for us!¡± On the viewing platform of Victory Square, everyone stood up and followed Lin Tian, bowing in the direction of Li Chengqian. Even the people watching the livestream in front of the television stood up and bowed. ¡°So, it was done by the Divine Dragon Company!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is a great scientist! He is also the most talented scientist! He is also the most patriotic scientist!¡± Chapter 329 - 329 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 3 329 Prophet Leader. Ruler of the Divine Dragon 3 Li Chengqian¡¯s parents were also watching the livestream at home. When they heard Lin Tian¡¯s words and saw what he did, the two of them were extremely excited. ¡°Hubby, look, even Leader Tian bowed to our son! Look! Our son has made a name for himself! Our son is a great scientist!¡± Many of Li Chengqian¡¯s former classmates were also watching the livestream. When they saw this, everyone was filled with respect, envy, and pride. ¡°Li Chengqian and I were classmates!¡± In the future, when he introduced himself, he would mention this and things would become easier for him. When the employees of the Divine Dragon Company saw this, they became excited and smiled widely. At this moment, Lin Tian stood up and nodded at Li Chengqian. He turned around and walked to the microphone. ¡°After my discussion with Mr. Li Chengqian, in order to let the Divine Dragon Company serve Divine Dragon better, in order to give the Divine Dragon Company more resources to develop¡­¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon Company will be integrated into Divine Dragon¡¯s system! It will become a part of the country. In the future, all the resources of Divine Dragon will be prioritized to meet the needs of the Divine Dragon Company! However, the Divine Dragon Company will continue to operate independently and will be managed the same way. Mr. Li Chengqian is the absolute controller of the Divine Dragon Company. No one is allowed to interfere in the management of the Company!¡± Lin Tian said loudly. As soon as he said this, everyone¡¯s eyes widened. In the first half of his speech, they thought that Lin Tian was going to announce a takeover of the Company. Perhaps the Country felt threatened by the Divine Dragon Company¡¯s technologies and wanted to take over the Company. However, they realized that they had gotten it all wrong when they heard the second half of his speech! How was this a compulsory takeover? This was clearly the Country sending resources to the Divine Dragon Company. Incorporating the Company into the national system, giving the Company priority and free use of the Country¡¯s resources. Moreover, he gets to run the Company the same way, and no one is allowed to interfere. He was handing over huge power to Li Chengqian! ¡°At the same time, the Leaders have also decided that, because of Li Chengqian¡¯s outstanding contributions to Divine Dragon, we will add an additional seat in the Divine Dragon¡¯s Executive Council. He will hold the title of the Prophet Leader! The status of the Prophet Leader is the same as the other Leaders and he would enjoy the treatment of a Leader.¡± ¡°Li Chengqian will be the first Prophet Leader!¡± ¡°The Prophet Leader doesn¡¯t need to participate in the daily management of the Country¡¯s affairs! However, important matters must be approved by the Prophet Leader! At the same time, the Prophet Leader has a veto power over any decision.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve said what I wanted to say. Next, I¡¯ll invite the Prophet Leader to say a few words to everyone!¡± Lin Tian finished announcing the shocking news in one breath. Then, he turned around and said to Li Chengqian, ¡°Prophet Leader, please say a few words.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s words were like a shocking bomb that set off monstrous waves in everyone¡¯s hearts. Everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Tian¡¯s words! Establish a new position! Prophet Leader! Li Chengqian, a young man who was not even 20 years old, had become the Prophet Leader and the most powerful person in Divine Dragon! This was like a fairy tale. Lin Tian¡¯s actions exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination and even exceeded the limits of everyone¡¯s imagination. ¡®Well¡­¡¯ ¡°Leader Tian is really generous. In order to tie Li Chengqian to Divine Dragon¡¯s chariot, he¡¯s even willing to offer him a position!¡± ¡°Leader Tian is indeed a wise person. If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t be able to make such a decision!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, come to our country. I¡¯m willing to give you the position of king! As long as you help us produce vaccines and help us produce weapons that can fight the bats, we¡¯re willing to give you anything you need, beautiful women, power¡­¡± While the foreign leaders were exclaiming this, the citizens of Divine Dragon were also dumbfounded. Such a thing had never happened in thousands of years! It was an unprecedented change. Li Chengqian¡¯s name was remembered by everyone because of this incident! ¡°Leader! Li Chengqian actually became a Leader!¡± ¡°Oh my god, Li Chengqian is about the same age as me. I am still in high school, but he has already become a Leader! He¡¯s on top of the world now.¡± ¡°Remember, Li Chengqian is your role model! Learn from Li Chengqian in the future!¡± ¡°At the age of 19, he became a Leader. Li Chengqian made history in Divine Dragon!¡± Just as everyone was shocked, under everyone¡¯s gaze, Li Chengqian walked up the stage with strong footsteps and a determined gaze. He nodded at Lin Tian and took the microphone. ¡°Thank you for your trust and your support!¡± ¡°Especially the support of Leader Tian! Without his support, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to get to where I am today! Thank you!¡± Since Lin Tian had been so generous in praising him, he naturally had to return the favor. ¡°I thank my parents! Without them, I wouldn¡¯t be here! Without their guidance, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am today. They are the pride of my life! They are my guiding light.¡± ¡°Thank you, citizens. In the face of a crisis, it¡¯s your hard work that allowed us to produce the vaccines, the magnetic planes, the laser combat platforms, and all the other weapons to protect us. In the future, I ask that you continue to work with us because we don¡¯t have enough weapons. We still need to produce the parts and raw materials.¡± ¡°Lastly, I want to tell everyone¡­ We will definitely defeat the asphyxiation virus, we will definitely defeat the bats, and we will definitely overcome any challenge.¡± ¡°Under the leadership of Leader Tian, we are confident that we can survive all disasters! The Divine Dragon Company and I will not be involved in the management of the country! We will put all our energy into science and technology and do our best to develop more advanced weapons and more advanced energy sources. We will develop all the technologies that can allow us to survive better.¡± ¡°Armed robots, magnetic planes, and laser combat platforms are just the beginning. We are still developing and building stronger weapons. ¡°Everything is for the continuation of the Divine Dragon people! For survival!¡± ¡°When we are united as one, we will overcome the hard times! Let us work hard together. We will definitely be able to survive the disasters.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m done talking. Thank you, everyone!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s speech was very short and simple. However, after Li Chengqian finished speaking, the crowd erupted into applause. Although Li Chengqian¡¯s words were short, every sentence was impactful. Every sentence was on point. As Li Chengqian spoke, transparent words began to flash in front of his eyes. Only Li Chengqian could see these transparent words. ¡°You have become the authoritative figure of Divine Dragon. You have taken on the Profession: The Ruler of Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°After you obtain the authority, the Profession system will activate the subsystem. You can assign Professions to others¡­¡± ¡°Because your company has merged with Divine Dragon, its resources are at your disposal¡­ Updating the rules for the experience value points¡­¡± ¡°The update of the experience value points has been completed. The production value data of the Divine Dragon Country has become your experience value points¡­ Currently, you have 2879.6 billion experience value points in the system.¡± Immediately, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian¡¯s face. The reason why he went from backstage to the front was to activate the Profession authority. It was to turn the system¡¯s experience value points into production value. This way, he would have a large amount of experience value points to use and could exchange for top-notch knowledge in the Professions mall. While Li Chengqian was checking the Professions mall, Wang Kui took the microphone. ¡°This military parade is over¡­¡± ¡°Next, please go to the conference room and for the next phase of the meeting!¡± The next phase was to handle the merger applications and to take over the other countries¡¯ land! To name new provinces and appoint new governors! Thinking of this, both Lin Tian and Wang Kui felt their emotions surge. This was an unprecedented merit. Chapter 330 - 330 Half a Captain Planet. Ganas Actions 1 330 Half a Captain Planet. Gana¡¯s Actions 1 A huge map of Divine Dragon Country was placed in the middle of the conference room! After the meeting started, the relevant personnel of the countries who applied to join Divine Dragon took out the Merger Declarations and humbly presented them to Lin Tian. The Water Bay representative spoke in a conflicted tone. ¡°We give up all rights and merge with Divine Dragon, becoming a part of the Divine Dragon.¡± ¡°From now on, our country will be a territory of Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°Everyone is a citizen of Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°We hope that you will treat all our people well!¡± ¡°Please accept our Merger Declaration and the map of the former Water Bay!¡± Her tone was extremely sincere. Lin Tian smiled and said in a clear voice, ¡°We will give all citizens of Divine Dragon the same protection! Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°The Divine Dragon¡¯s weapons will protect all its people!¡± ¡°Your choice to merge with Divine Dragon is the wisest choice.¡± ¡°On behalf of the Executive Council, I hereby appoint you as the Governor of Water Bay. You¡¯ll be in charge of the future development plan of Water Bay! Just like Divine Dragon, the specific administration will be handled by the planetary management system. The vaccines will be sent over as soon as possible and the people will be inoculated. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Lin Tian helped the person-in-charge up and gave instructions in a clear voice. ¡°Leader Tian, I understand!¡± The original person-in-charge of Water Bay said respectfully with mixed feelings. ¡°Esteemed Leader Tian, I¡¯m the person-in-charge of Sun Island¡­ I¡¯m willing to offer everything to join Divine Dragon and become a member of Divine Dragon¡­¡± The person-in-charge of Sun Island also respectfully presented his map to Lin Tian with both hands. Right on the heels of that, the other representatives stepped forward one by one and presented their maps and credentials, all of them requesting to be incorporated into Divine Dragon. The land and credentials presented were on the same scale as the map of Divine Dragon that was in the center of the conference table. After Lin Tian received them, a staff member pieced together the maps of the land and Divine Dragon. Soon, the map of Divine Dragon increased to three times its original size. The original area of Divine Dragon was 10 million square kilometers. After receiving these lands, the area reached 30 million square kilometers. After taking over the land of the surrounding countries, Divine Dragon¡¯s extended from the North Pole to the equator. Land from the Black Sea to the Bering Strait were all included in Divine Dragon¡¯s territory. In the history of Divine Dragon, it had never had such a huge land area. Half of the inhabitable land on Earth had been incorporated into Divine Dragon¡¯s territory. Lin Tian could already be called half a Captain Planet. Although he was already mentally prepared, Lin Tian was still very excited when he saw the map on the conference table. ¡°Everyone, welcome to the Divine Dragon family!¡± ¡°You will be proud of today¡¯s decision!¡± Lin Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and said loudly. They were then appointed as nominal regional governors one by one. ¡°Next, return to your original land and implement the planetary management system with all your might! All staff must use the planetary management system! This is your first priority when you return.¡± ¡°When the planetary management system is more or less implemented and you have achieved 100% coverage, I will provide vaccines according to the population in the area under your jurisdiction. All these will be arranged through the planetary management system,¡± Lin Tian said in a low voice. These people now belonged to Divine Dragon in name, but in fact, if they wanted to be independent, they could do so at any time! The Executive Council had no actual power over these areas that had been merged. The planetary management system came in handy under these circumstances. As long as the planetary management system was implemented, all the work would be arranged by the system. Then, Wang Kui would send his capable generals to the relevant regions with an armed robot to control the regional military. Soon, these nominal regional commanders would lose control of the region and become mere mascots. ¡°Li Chengqian has always said that the planetary management system is the best tool for planet management. He is right indeed!¡± ¡°When everyone has gotten used to being managed by the planetary management system, it becomes very simple and fast to control a country!¡± If they want to control a new area according to the traditional method, they have to send a large number of officials and troops to the new area. They have to give the new area time to adapt to the new rule and also to weaken the original ruling power. With the planetary management system, he only needed to get everyone to install the system. Everyone would do things according to the system¡¯s arrangements, and the army would do the same. He only needed one planet to completely control a new area. Because all the orders were directly given to the clerks, everyone¡¯s superior was the Divine Dragon Executive Council. The salary was paid by the Executive Council, and the job assessment was done by the Executive Council. If one didn¡¯t do his job well and didn¡¯t complete his work according to the requirements of the planetary management system, he would immediately be fired. In this way, in an extremely short period of time, the people in the new area would get used to the planetary management system! They would obey the system! The original rulers would be forgotten in the shortest time possible. The new Leader of Honglu Temple was called Chen Yitian. From the planetary management system, notifications kept sounding. In the Bluetooth earpiece, the system¡¯s short messages sounded in his ears. During this period of time, he had received notes from more than 80 regions and forces. Other than asking for help, they were also requesting to be integrated into Divine Dragon. Seeing that Lin Tian had completed the regional arrangements, Chen Yitian hurriedly reported the situation. ¡°Leader Tian, we¡¯ve received a lot of notes. Almost all the countries in Feizhou and Guzhou are asking us for help.¡± Chapter 331 - 331 Half a Captain Planet. Ganas Actions 2 331 Half a Captain Planet. Gana¡¯s Actions 2 ¡°They want us to provide the vaccines. They want us to provide them with weapons!¡± ¡°So far, 83 factions have contacted us, of which, 53 have requested to join Divine Dragon, and 30 have requested for support.¡± ¡°Leader Tian, Prophet Leader, what should we do?¡± After Chen Yitian quickly explained the situation, he looked at Lin Tian and Li Chengqian, waiting for their decision. After hearing what Chen Yitian reported, a trace of relief flashed across the eyes of the people who had just been appointed as regional commanders. Even if they applied to be integrated into Divine Dragon, the treatment they would enjoy was different from those who applied earlier. Naturally, the earlier they applied, the better! ¡°Fortunately, we applied earlier¡­ If we hadn¡¯t done so first, Divine Dragon might not have accepted us.¡± ¡°We might not even have been given the position of regional governor.¡± Everyone pondered in their hearts as they looked at Lin Tian and Li Chengqian. After listening to the Honglu Temple Leader Chen¡¯s updates, they had made a new discovery. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s status is actually on par as Lin Tian! Unbelievable!¡± ¡°I thought that Li Chengqian¡¯s position was created by Lin Tian to win people¡¯s hearts. I didn¡¯t expect his position to be so high!¡± ¡°In the future, when you face Li Chengqian, you have to be as respectful as when you see Lin Tian.¡± Lin Tian thought about it and looked at Li Chengqian. He wanted to hear Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion before making a decision. ¡°Prophet Leader, what do you think?¡± ¡°Leader Tian, Divine Dragon¡¯s territory is already very large after the merger. The national borders that need to be defended are also much longer. If we agree to Feizhou and Gull Land¡¯s requests, our combat platforms will not be enough! If the combat platforms are too scattered, the bats might enter the country. This is not good!¡± ¡°If these forces are really willing to join Divine Dragon, they shouldn¡¯t mind waiting!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll agree to their requests when we have enough resources.¡± ¡°If they¡¯re really willing to give up their rights and join us, we can also let them implement the planetary management system! After the planetary management system consolidates the resources, we can select some of them to join Divine Dragon after discussions.¡± ¡°Also, I suggest that we can provide vaccines to the relevant countries! However, we can only barter in exchange for the resources we need!¡± Under the current situation, resources were everything. Because Divine Dragon had started construction of radars, fusion power stations, magnetic planes, super batteries, planetary defense cannons, Sun cannons, land-based star destroyer cannons, and other related arms in the galaxy, a large amount of resources had been consumed, and they urgently needed external replenishment. ¡°Of course, these are only suggestions. Everything is still based on Leader Tian¡¯s arrangements.¡± In the end, Li Chengqian changed his tone and handed the decision-making power to Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian really wanted to merge the forces that had applied for the merger with Divine Dragon, he wanted to take another step towards the goal of being Captain Planet. But he was also level headed. Facing the virus, bats, and aliens, his only support was Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian¡¯s opinion must be taken seriously and accepted. ¡°I completely agree with the Prophet Leader!¡± ¡°A vaccine can be provided, but it must be bartered with resources! Fusion raw materials, fission raw materials, titanium alloys, transcendent metals, all can be exchanged!¡± When Li Chengqian made the suggestion, the planetary management system generated a list of scarce materials for Lin Tian. ¡°Tell them that we can drive the laser platform to deliver the vaccine, but they have to hand us the materials we need at the same time.¡± ¡°Chen Yitian, you¡¯re in charge of this matter. Follow the Prophet Leader¡¯s instructions! Tell them to show their sincerity if they want to join Divine Dragon!¡± Lin Tian confirmed the fate of these factions with a few words. At the bottom of the conference room, after hearing Lin Tian instructions, many people felt even more blessed. ¡°Fortunately, we joined Divine Dragon in advance and became a part of it!¡± ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s best to make up your mind to merge with Divine Dragon. If it¡¯s too late¡­ it¡¯ll be difficult to merge with Divine Dragon.¡± Compared to the other factions, they were much better off! As long as the planetary management system was implemented, the vaccine would be sent for free without any need to provide barter resources. After merging with Divine Dragon, one would be protected by its laser platform and wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being attacked by the bats. One could live a safe and secure life. One can continue to be productive. ¡°Li Chengqian¡¯s status is even higher than I imagined!¡± ¡°Leader Tian¡¯s decision was based on Li Chengqian¡¯s suggestion!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian is actually on equal footing with the Leader Tian. Unbelievable!¡± In everyone¡¯s hearts, Li Chengqian¡¯s position had risen to another level, to be on par with Leader Tian. Soon, under Leader Tian¡¯s instructions, the new regional governors returned to their original positions and tried their best to implement the planetary management system. Li Chengqian also arranged for Bai Ze to take over all the relevant systems and resources in these areas. More than ten magnetic cargo planes specially produced for freight transport were constantly transporting the resources needed by the Divine Dragon Company. The people in these areas didn¡¯t resist joining Divine Dragon at all. When they knew that they could be vaccinated after joining Divine Dragon, everyone was sincerely convinced and developed a sense of belonging to Divine Dragon. Then, the planetary management system took over everything. All kinds of crimes were cleaned up at lightning speed within a week. The area was the safest it had ever been in history. All relevant procedures were migrated to the Divine Dragon App. These foreigners felt an unprecedented convenience. Chapter 332 - 332 Half a Captain Planet. Ganas Actions 2 332 Half a Captain Planet. Gana¡¯s Actions 2 All kinds of tasks were sent directly to their phones. Almost everyone got a task, and people felt purposeful and happy. Previously, some of the officials of the underdeveloped countries were corrupt. These officials were purged after the planetary management system was implemented. People felt a sense of clarity and dignity that they had never felt before. At the same time, Divine Dragon language was taught for free in the Divine Dragon App. The people who had just been naturalized felt an unprecedented warmth. They felt valued and secure. They felt a strong sense of belonging to Divine Dragon after just a matter of two weeks. If someone instigated them to leave Divine Dragon at this time, they would definitely send him to the police station. ¡­ Space is vast. The Gana observer¡¯s body is very large. It was at least a quarter the size of the moon. The Gana observer¡¯s body was like two pyramids combined, with two sharp ends and a large middle. He was like a speck of dust in the vast space, no one could see him. The surface of the Gana observer¡¯s body was dark. This dark skin could absorb 99.9% of sunlight and electromagnetic radiation, turning them into its energy for survival. ¡°The creatures on this planet can actually kill the Hunters!¡± ¡°They actually have the ability to destroy the Hunter¡¯s lair!¡± ¡°However, after such a long time, only one Hunter¡¯s nest was destroyed. The humans on Earth are too weak.¡± ¡°Such rich DNA, such rich bio enzymes and bioprotein systems.¡± ¡°Bring this information back after this harvest. Perhaps it can allow the Gana civilization to achieve a new breakthrough.¡± ¡°The virus hasn¡¯t spread around the world, and the Hunters haven¡¯t obtained all the organic matter.¡± ¡°We have to speed up this process! There are no super energy substances on Earth. If we can avoid entering Earth, we won¡¯t enter. There aren¡¯t many super energy substances left. We have to conserve as much as we can!¡± The Gana observer was too huge. Once he entered the planet, he would need to consume a huge amount of energy to escape the planet¡¯s gravity and to return to space. Super-energy material was a magical cosmic material with huge energy that could be absorbed by living beings. A fist-sized piece of super-energy material contained energy that could support the Gana observer for tens of millions of years. The best solution was for the bats to collect the organic matter. Then the bats would evolve into a space transporter and bring the organic matter and information all into his body. Subsequently, an invisible message was released from the Gana observer and sent to Earth. At the same time, the Gana observer¡¯s continent-like body slowly rotated, the tip of one end of the pyramid pointing in the direction of the Earth. Pieces of meteor the size of houses were released from the Gana observer¡¯s body. These meteors rushed towards Earth at an extremely fast speed. ¡°Earth¡¯s creatures have rich proteins, bio enzymes, and DNA systems, but they are too weak. With Earth¡¯s creatures as the foundation, they can¡¯t evolve into powerful Hunters.¡± ¡°I can only release the Hunters in my body to Earth.¡± ¡°The Star Hunters will reach Earth in 6 months!¡± ¡°In twelve months, my body will arrive outside the Earth¡¯s atmosphere and accept the entire Earth¡¯s organic matter.¡± ¡°A million years is too long! I can finally go home! I wonder if the sun in my hometown has been extinguished? I wonder if my clansmen have lit a new sun.¡± As he reminisced, his observation consciousness gradually calmed down and he fell asleep again. The next time he woke up, he would arrive outside Earth¡¯s atmosphere. At that time, all the humans on Earth would turn into biomass and be brought back to the civilization for research. Chapter 333 - 333 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 1 333 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 1 Li Chengqian didn¡¯t actively participate in the unification of the countries. After he gave his opinion, he quickly focused his attention on the Master of All Professions interface. Opening his personal interface, Li Chengqian focused his attention on the new Profession: Leader. Li Chengqian smiled in his heart when he saw that the experience value points had reached a trillion. He chose to upgrade without hesitation. Leader level 0 ¡ú level 9! He went straight to the highest level. After Li Chengqian had upgraded his Profession to the highest level, he maxed out the Skills of this Profession. He reviewed the relevant Skills of the Leader profession one by one. Skill 1: Loyalty screening (max) Introduction: You can screen how loyal others are to you. If the loyalty level is below 60, they will betray you. Those with loyalty levels above 95 are fiercely loyal to you. Skill 2: Loyalty lock-in (max) Introduction: You can use this Skill on 1,000 targets. After this Skill is used on a target, his loyalty to you will be locked-in and will never decrease. Skill 3: Staffing talent (max) Introduction: You can easily discover what a person is best at and staff them in positions where they will be most effective. The efficiency of work is doubled. Skill 4: Professions delegation (max) Introduction: When your subordinate¡¯s loyalty to you reaches the level of fiercely loyal, you can delegate to your subordinate the Professions that you have taken on. You can delegate to a maximum of 10 subordinates! Only basic Professions can be delegated! You can recall the delegated Professions at any time. ¡°This is amazing!¡± ¡°Leader is only the most basic Profession!¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s an ordinary person, after taking on the Leader profession, with the support of the Profession Skills, they can quickly reach the peak of power. No one can stop them.¡± Screening for loyalty, locking-in loyalty, having a talent for staffing people, and delegating Professions¡ªthese are the skills that people need to stay in power. And this was only the most basic Leader profession. Li Chengqian once again shifted his gaze to the level after the Leader profession. After reaching level 9, the advanced Leader profession had already appeared. The advanced Leader profession was National Leader! Moreover, Li Chengqian had already completed all the prerequisites for upgrading to the National Leader profession. He could upgrade directly. ¡°Upgrade!¡± Li Chengqian did not hesitate and upgraded decisively. The 100,000 experience value points required for upgrading was a drop in the ocean for him now. After upgrading, Li Chengqian repeated the previous process and upgraded the level of the National Leader profession to the highest level, level 9. Then, his gaze shifted to the new Skills. National Leader profession Skills Skill 1: Absolute loyalty Introduction: Your subordinates are absolutely loyal to you and will never betray you. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± The effect of the first Skill made Li Chengqian gasp. ¡°Strong! It¡¯s indeed much stronger than the Leader profession!¡± The effect of this skill was very unusual. No matter if it was sincere or fake, as long as anyone admitted that they were Li Chengqian¡¯s subordinate, under the effect of the Profession Skill, their loyalty value would directly increase to 100. The effect was the same even if they were mortal enemies before! ¡°Wait, can this skill be used on aliens?¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat as a thought flashed through his mind. However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, his gaze landed on the other Skills. Skill 2: Planning the Future Introduction: You can obtain a national future plan once a year. This will be the most suitable plan for the country you are leading. It is also the best, the most optimal, and the most correct plan based on the current foundation. Every time a future plan is implemented, the strength of the country will be greatly increased. ¡°This Skill is a divine management skill. Even if I don¡¯t know anything, I can still develop the country according to the plan.¡± However, this Skill was not very useful to Li Chengqian. ¡°When I¡¯m free, I¡¯ll get the plan down and let Lin Tian implement it.¡± With Lin Tian managing the country, there was no need for Li Chengqian to take action. To Li Chengqian, the most important thing was to eliminate the aliens so that humans could continue to exist. Skill 3: Resource Map Introduction: The resource map can show you all the resources in the country that you manage. Even if the resources are buried deep underground and not yet discovered, they will still be displayed on the map. After using this Skill, an extremely complicated resource map appeared in Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes. After some adjustments, Li Chengqian realized that he could directly enter the resources he wanted to search. Then, the map would show the location, depth, reserves, difficulty of mining, and other relevant information. ¡°This is good, this is good!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes lit up. This Skill was very useful to him. Due to the intense construction of various planetary defense weapons and galactic radars recently, many special resources had been exhausted. Gems, superconducting heavy metal elements and dilute elements were used to build laser weapons. Special resources related to fusion materials, fissile materials, and so on were very scarce. Li Chengqian had just used the resource map to search and found that there were a large number of undiscovered mines under Divine Dragon¡¯s t. It was not difficult to mine them. As long as he told Lin Tian the coordinates and related information of these mines, the problem of the lack of raw materials would be resolved. Very quickly and effortlessly, Li Chengqian recorded the relevant information into the planetary management system and sent it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian would follow up and settle the rest. After doing this, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze landed on the last Skill of the National Leader profession. Chapter 334 - 334 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 2 334 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 2 Skill 4: Professions Planning Institute Introduction: The citizens of the country you lead can choose to take on professions in the Master of All Professions game (Basic and Advanced) based on their current professions and their potential. After taking on the Professions, all the citizens will become your subordinates. The Professions Planning Institute can sit within the planetary management system, or it can sit within any pre-existing system. Li Chengqian¡¯s eyes widened when he saw this Skill. Putting aside the other effects, this Skill was simply invincible when combined with the Absolute Loyalty skill. The Absolute Loyalty skill would make Li Chengqian¡¯s subordinates loyal to him. In the Professions Planning Institute skill, everyone who took on a profession would automatically become Li Chengqian¡¯s subordinates. Simply put, as long as everyone in Divine Dragon took up professions, everyone would become Li Chengqian¡¯s loyalists. After the appearance of the Professions Planning Institute, as long as everyone met the requirements to take on a profession, they could directly take on the profession through the planetary management system. Farmers, workers, students, warriors, farm owners, engineers, weapons engineers, software engineers, designers, armed combat experts, and even scholars, scientists, and other professions. Each of them was terrifyingly powerful. According to Li Chengqian¡¯s estimation, a farming professional could supply food to a million people if he kept using his Skills to farm. With a population of two billion people, Divine Dragon only needed a few thousand people to provide food. Li Chengqian had only obtained the Master of All Professions game for less than two years. With the help of the game, he single-handedly raised the level of Divine Dragon¡¯s technology by 30 years. The various planetary and galactic weapons that were currently being built were hundreds of years ahead of Earth¡¯s original technology. If everyone in Divine Dragon had taken on a profession, with the help of the powerful Skills of each profession, they might be able to increase the development level of Divine Dragon by hundreds or even thousands of years, within a year. Because the Professions Planning Institute skill was too important, Li Chengqian analyzed this Skill in detail. He found: After the appearance of the Professions Planning Institute, there was no longer a limit to the number of professions. From the literal interpretation, all citizens could take up professions. Moreover, Li Chengqian could set the types of Professions that everyone could take on. He could also hide certain Professions. Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°This is good. Some Professions shouldn¡¯t be open to the citizens.¡± Then, he directly blocked the Leader professions! The Leader profession was too powerful. Anyone who had taken on this profession would start fantasizing about all the other possibilities. After completing the blockade, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to open the Professions Planning Institute and make it a module of the planetary management system. After looking at the Skills of a National Leader, Li Chengqian¡¯s gaze finally focused on the advanced level of the National Leader profession. After the National Leader was upgraded to the highest level, new Professions that were open for upgrading appeared. The name of the new profession was Planetary Leader! There were four prerequisites for becoming a Planetary Leader, and three of them had already been completed. However, there was still one prerequisite that was incomplete. Obtain control of more than half the planet! After Li Chengqian took a look, he put the matter of the Planetary Leader aside. ¡°Open the Professions mall!¡± ¡°Search for technologies related to electricity and energy!¡± ¡°According to Earth¡¯s technological level, it can be completed in a short period of time and put into use.¡± ¡°Technologies that can greatly increase Earth¡¯s electricity and energy production.¡± The biggest problem now was the energy problem. Many problems could be easily solved as long as the energy problem could be solved. The exchange price for ¡°Lightning Utilization and Storage Technology!¡± was 20 billion points. ¡°Specialized Power Generation Metal-Biomaterial Technology and Direct Thermal-to-Electric Energy Conversion Technology. (Thermoelectric Conversion Material Fabrication Technology)¡± was exchanged for 100 billion points. There were only two technologies that popped up. Li Chengqian was astounded when he saw these two technical names. ¡°That¡¯s right. If we can use lightning, we can indeed resolve a small portion of the problem.¡± The annual electricity discharge in the world was about 1.8 trillion degrees, which was about one-tenth of the annual electricity generation in the world. If this portion of electricity was used, although it could not solve the energy shortage problem, it would supplement the scarce energy supply to a certain extent. What really made Li Chengqian¡¯s heart skip a beat was the second technology. Directly converting thermal energy into electricity! This kind of technology was too important! Because there was no such technology on Earth. All the power stations on Earth, be it thermal power stations, nuclear power plants, or geothermal power stations, used boiling water technology. Heating water produces steam, which drives the generator to generate electricity. After this round, it would be good if the efficiency of the energy exchange could reach 35%. The technology he found this time could directly convert heat energy into electricity. There was no need for any conversion or machines. This was the nature of the material itself. The efficiency of the energy conversion was terrifyingly high, reaching 90%. Moreover, this special material synthesis was not complicated. The current technology on Earth could easily synthesize this substance. After reading the introduction, Li Chengqian did not hesitate and exchanged for these two technologies. Then, through the brainwave receiver, he directly entered it into the planetary management system. Bai Ze immediately took action and began to break down the mission into smaller tasks and assigned the tasks to individuals. Chapter 335 - 335 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 3 335 New Profession: National Leader. War Preparations 3 ¡°After one day, we can produce thermal and electrical conversion materials! After one week, we can produce 600 tons a day! After 12 days, all the thermal and fusion power stations will be modified with thermal and electrical conversion materials. After 15 days, the modification will be completed. The electricity production of Divine Dragon will directly increase by 1.5 times!¡± ¡°Find an active volcano and build a new geothermal power station! Increase the electricity production by five times within a month!¡± ¡°Modify 10 lightning collectors and start collecting lightning to power the magnetic planes.¡± Li Chengqian told Bai Ze his thoughts one by one, and Bai Ze would follow his instructions to make arrangements accordingly. If he needed Lin Tian¡¯s help, Bai Ze would also communicate with Lin Tian in Li Chengqian¡¯s name. ¡­ A month later, in the depths of Taihang Mountains, Li Chengqian got off a magnetic plane. The mountain had already been hollowed out, turning into the shape of a concave lens. In the center of the concave lens was a crystal the size of a house. It was extremely dazzling under the sunlight. In location under the concave lens was an underground building. Thick cables extended all the way from the ground up. A huge amount of thermoelectric conversion materials was sent to the mantle. It absorbed a large amount of heat from the mantle at all times to convert into electricity to supply the radar array in the galaxy. In the smooth wall of the concave lens, a thick vacuum tube made of superconducting metal circled around. It was more than a thousand kilometers long. This was the barrel of a light speed power cannon. It could fire objects at a speed close to the speed of light. The power of a full-powered shot could even penetrate the entire moon! After arriving at the control room, Bai Ze appeared on the screen. ¡°Master, the galactic radar array has been partially completed¡­ We can scan an astronomical area around Earth.¡± ¡°Do you want to turn on the scan?¡± ¡°Begin scanning! Report to me immediately if you discover any abnormalities! You are not allowed to activate the weapons system without my orders!¡± Li Chengqian was a bit worried. Although the light speed power cannon was very powerful, Li Chengqian felt that it was not safe to only have one. When all 36 light speed power cannons and 81 solar cannons were completed, the 117 cannons would be launched at the same time. It would be time to destroy the moon. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± The radar began to operate. With the Earth at the center, quantum waves swept across continuously. The scanning speed was very slow because the area was too large. It is expected that another 30 days would be required to complete one scan. If all 30 radars were completed, it would only take an hour to complete a scan. However, soon, other radars would be completed. When the time came, they would be integrated into the entire system and could effectively increase the scanning speed of the system. Li Chengqian watched for a while and realized that there was no progress. He instructed, ¡°Bai Ze, don¡¯t let any abnormalities go unnoticed.¡± ¡°Show me the situation in Feizhou and Gull Land.¡± The scene on the big screen immediately changed. On the Feizhou Continent, all signs of life had already disappeared. The ground was filled with walking corpses, animals, and humans. Under the effect of the asphyxiation virus, they had all turned into zombies. There was not even a goshawk on the entire continent. Moreover, these corpses were like the ones from Sunset. They gathered in the thousands and turned into pools of organic nests that nurtured new bats. More than half of Gull Land had fallen! The fallen areas were no different from Feizhou. There was no vitality at all and it was dead silent. A large number of nests appeared on the ground. More bats came out of the nests and continued to advance east. After the forces of Gull Land realized that they could not destroy the bats even with all their strength, the leaders and the army gave up. Those who were able to leave thought of ways to leave and headed east. Civilians who were unable to leave could do nothing to change the current situation except despair. The only thing they could do was to beg for the protection of Divine Dragon on the internet. The time taken for Divine Dragon to modify the power generation system was only a month. It didn¡¯t seem long, but the total number of humans on Earth had decreased from 7 billion to 5 billion in this month! Two billion people died at the hands of the asphyxiation virus in just one month. At this moment, Water Bay, Sun Island, and other areas were even more glad that they could join Divine Dragon. If they hadn¡¯t joined Divine Dragon previously, their current situation would be no different from Gull Land. Despair! There was no hope! Then, they would die in despair! The entire country would perish! The country was destroyed and all had perished! ¡°Thank you, Divine Dragon!¡± ¡°Thank God for making me a part of Divine Dragon!¡± After witnessing the extinction of creatures and the mass death of citizens in Gull Land, those people who had joined Divine Dragon became even more respectful, impressed, and devoted to Divine Dragon. ¡°Bai Ze, pay attention to the bats!¡± ¡°Inform me immediately the moment a bat arrives at Mount Raya or if there are bats reaching 500 kilometers away from the border!¡± ¡°Speed up and build the sun cannon! There¡¯s also the planetary defense laser cannon! Space-based sun cannon!¡± ¡°When our weapons are all in place, it will be time for these monsters to go extinct!¡± Although Li Chengqian couldn¡¯t bear it, he resolutely gave up on the idea of exterminating the bats now. The bats were just the aliens¡¯ weapons. Li Chengqian had indeed mastered a weapon that could exterminate the bats. However, once all the bats on Earth were exterminated and the bat nests on Earth were destroyed, would it attract the attention of aliens? At this time, their weapons and radars were not ready. If they alerted the enemy and the aliens rushed over, would Earth be able to resist the aliens¡¯ attacks? Through the asphyxiation virus and the bats, Li Chengqian knew that that was impossible! Earth was not ready yet. It was definitely unable to withstand a full fledged attack of the aliens. Therefore, the bats couldn¡¯t die for the time being! ¡°Bai Ze, help me inform Leader Tian.¡± ¡°Provide Gull Land with air-powered guns! These can also kill the bats! Although it¡¯s very difficult! It¡¯s better than doing nothing.¡± ¡°Provide Gull Land with the asphyxiation virus vaccines! With the vaccines, they won¡¯t be harmed by the virus. It can help us stall the bats! It can buy us time.¡± The most lethal thing was the asphyxiation virus. Although the bats were terrifying, how many people could a bat kill in a day? As long as he could prevent the spread of the asphyxiation virus, he could delay the bats¡¯ arrival.

Otherwise, there¡¯s no way to explain the Professions Planning Institute.¡± ¡°Ever since Li Chengqian founded the Divine Dragon Company, it has always released products that transcend the times. Why do you think this is?¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing that Li Chengqian is a transmigrator, and a transmigrator with a system at that!¡± Because of the appearance of the Professions Planning Institute, there was a lot of discussion on the internet about Li Chengqian and the Divine Dragon Company. The internet was rife with all kinds of ridiculous speculations. After people realized the functions of the Professions Planning Institute, everyone in Divine Dragon took on a profession within an extremely short period of time. After obtaining the enhancement of the professionl skills, everyone¡¯s abilities improved qualitatively. Food production, construction ability, scientific and technological research and development ability, and learning ability had increased greatly. After completing everyone had taken on a profession, the Divine Dragon¡¯s national strength directly increased by a thousand times. With a 1,000-fold enhancement of the abilities, the tasks that Li Chengqian assigned through the planetary management system were completed 100 times more effectively and efficiently. The progress was at rocket speed. The nuclear fusion power station was originally expected to take eight months to complete. With the enhancement of the profession skills, it was completed and connected to the power grid system within two months. The galactic radar array system was almost completed. It will be completed in another week. The solar cannon and the light speed kinetic cannon were just short of some final finishing touches. The newly erected universe combat platform had already been sent into the sky, and the space radar module it carried was operating at full power. Dragon City, in a small meeting room of the Executive Council. Only Lin Tian, Li Chengqian, and Wang Kui were present. ¡°Leader Tian, the sun cannon and the secondary cannon are ready!¡± ¡°The fusion power station is operating at full power. The wireless power transmission system is functioning normally.¡± ¡°We already have the ability to clean up all the bat nests on Earth.¡± ¡°I suggest that we carry out the bat and nest elimination plan!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s voice was low and powerful. ¡°Prophet Leader, are there any new results from the galactic radar?¡± Lin Tian didn¡¯t agree directly but asked about another situation instead. He needed other information to support him in making the best decision. After the Professions Planning Institute was opened, Li Chengqian specially developed the National Leader profession for Lin Tian. He could make the best plans when he took on this profession. However, the prerequisite was that he had enough information. ¡°A month ago, the galactic quantum array radar discovered that a huge object is coming from the Sun towards Earth at a speed of 19 kilometers per second.¡± ¡°There are also tens of thousands of meteorites the size of houses coming towards Earth at a speed of 20 kilometers per second.¡± ¡°The house-sized meteorites are moving normally! The sun cannon and the light speed power cannon can lock onto them and directly destroy them in outer space.¡± ¡°However, the huge meteorite is like two pyramids. It¡¯s 1,000 kilometers long and has been stationary.¡± ¡°It will disappear into the universe and then appear out of thin air from another place close to Earth. Its movement is unpredictable.¡± ¡°Quantum radar can¡¯t lock onto this huge object.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this huge 1,000kilometer long object that is an alien spaceship.¡± Li Chengqian explained the information obtained by the radar. ¡°If this huge spaceship approaches Earth, large scale volcano eruptions, tsunamis, storms, and earthquakes will appear on Earth due to the effect of gravity.¡± ¡°It will be doomsday!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible for ordinary people to survive in such an environment.¡± Speaking up to this point, Li Chengqian¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. ¡°Now, the huge spaceship is about to pass the position of Venus.¡± ¡°There¡¯s already an omen of a natural disaster.¡± As Li Chengqian spoke, on the big screen, a volcano spewed lava thousands of meters into the sky. The volcanic clouds covered the sky, making day time in Sunset as dark as night. Chapter 337 - 337 Solar Cannons Activated, Cleanup 2 337 Solar Cannons Activated, Cleanup 2 Huge hundred meter tall tidal waves wrecked havoc and destroyed everything. A terrifying storm higher than level 15 had already formed. Once the super storm hits land, it would destroy everything on the coast. Whether it was Lin Tian or Wang Kui, when they heard Li Chengqian¡¯s introduction and looked at the apocalyptic disaster on the screen, their expressions became even more solemn. ¡°We have to destroy the spaceship before it arrives on Earth.¡± ¡°Once the spaceship comes near Earth, even if the spaceship doesn¡¯t do anything, gravity will cause a terrifying disaster and wipe out humans.¡± ¡°According to the supercomputer¡¯s calculations, we only have one month left!¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t stop the spaceship from coming within a month¡­¡± ¡°Probably¡­¡± At this point, Li Chengqian stopped and didn¡¯t speak further. Everyone knew the consequences. At that time, humans would not be far from extinction. ¡°Prophet Leader, I agree with you!¡± ¡°Activate the bats and nests cleanup plan immediately. Clean these things up first.¡± ¡°Fire, destroy them!¡± After Lin Tian finished speaking, he directly operated the planetary management system and issued orders through the system. After Li Chengqian subtly issued the combat authorization. Tianfu solar cannon base and Tianci solar cannon base. Taihang Mountains solar cannon base. Mount Raya solar cannon base! ¡­ The moment Li Chengqian authorized and gave the order, a total of 36 solar cannon bases were activated. Dazzling laser crystals appeared from the ground. Antennas were connected to the quantum array radar, locking onto the bat nests. In the sky, below the galactic cosmic platform were specially made smooth mirrors. These mirrors could project the laser beams anywhere on Earth. Originally, because it was built on the ground, the solar cannons could not attack targets on the surface of the Earth. However, when complemented by the galactic cosmic platform, the range of the solar cannon had increased. It could attack all the spatial positions around Earth. It could also attack any location within Earth. Laser was the best weapon for dealing with the bats! It was the same with the bat nests. This was because the power of the light speed power cannon was so powerful and the kinetic energy was so great that they could easily kill the bats. However, the light speed power cannon might blast through the Earth and cause a destructive blow to it at the same time. In the Tianfu and Tianci solar cannon bases, after the dazzling crystals rose from the ground, a large amount of electricity was consumed under Bai Ze¡¯s control. A dazzling light flashed across the sky, illuminating the night sky as if it was daytime. The terrifying energy carried by the laser burned the air. With a flash, a laser beam was shone on the cosmic combat platform. Then, it was reflected by the cosmic combat platform and landed on Sunset¡¯s grounds like a lightsaber. On Sunset, a bat lifted an entire corpse by piercing its claws through the skull. He then flew towards the nest with the corpse. A light flashed! The bat turned into a ball of fire in midair. This ball of fire was like the prelude to a fireworks show. Right on the heels of that, the sky was lit up by laser beams. Under the attack of the laser beams, the indestructible bats turned into balls of burning flames. The entire sky was illuminated by the glaring laser beams, and the entire ground was illuminated by the flames from the burning bats. On the ground, the bat nests emitted an extremely bright light like a large light bulb under the illumination of the laser beams. Then, it was evaporated by the heat carried by the laser beams. Even the soil around the nests was heated into magma. ¡°Oh my god, Divine Dragon has finally made a move!¡± ¡°You monsters, die!¡± In Gull Land, many people were so excited to see the invincible bats burst into fireballs in the air that they roared and cried. Their voices carried the joy of surviving a calamity. ¡°These damned monsters, their retribution is here.¡± ¡°If Divine Dragon had taken action earlier to deal with the bats, Mom and Dad wouldn¡¯t have died.¡± ¡°We have to find a way to join Divine Dragon. Only Divine Dragon is safe in the world.¡± The people of Gull Land had all been vaccinated against the asphyxiation virus. The horror of 2 billion people dying in a month never happened again. In fact, Divine Dragon God had even provided a large number of air-powered guns. The air-powered guns were very powerful and could shoot through a bat¡¯s body. However, the bats were very tenacious and did not have any fatal weaknesses. To kill the bats, they had to be burned to ashes. On the other hand, bats were extremely fast. Normal bats could already reach the speed of sound, and there were also bats that could break the sound barrier. It was very difficult to hit a bat with a gun! In the past few months, the people of Gull Land had tried their best to kill the bats. They only succeeded in killing two on the entire continent. The bats were terrifying and bloody. They were either killing humans, transporting human corpses to the nest, or on their way to killing more humans. Bats had an extremely sharp sensory system. People wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the bats even if they hid underground. Their sharp claws could easily penetrate a person¡¯s skull and reinforced concrete. As long as the bats came, people could only wait for death in despair. They brought people endless fear and despair. The bats were as terrifying as the grim reaper. A large number of people would die at their hands each time they appeared. ¡°Die! You monsters!¡± The people hiding in the houses rushed out and fired crazily at the bats flying in the sky. They could see fear on the bat¡¯s ferocious faces. The evil bats that were flying in the sky panicked while trying to dodge the fatal beams of light. Their efforts were futile! The laser beams that descended from the sky were like a sieve. Starting from the Gull Land, they swept towards the Sunset kilometer by kilometer. After sweeping through the land, the bats were completely extinct, and the bat nests were completely destroyed! A day later, more than a million bats were all killed! 100,000 nests were all annihilated. ¡­ In space, the Gana observer woke up when all the bats and nests were wiped out. He was extremely clear-headed. Humans were like a group of ants to the Gana civilization. Would you be angry because of what a group of ants did? No! All you would do is lament the stupidity of the ants. ¡°Foolish primitive creatures, you¡¯ve ruined everything!¡± ¡°A lot of organic matter is wasted.¡± ¡°Just you wait, when I reach your planet!¡± ¡°That¡¯s your doomsday.¡± In fact, the Gana observer could fire fatal ray attacks and release a virus that was more deadly than the asphyxiation virus. It could even launch light speed attacks or even release plasma attacks on Earth. However, these methods have not been used by the Gana observer. All life on Earth would be destroyed once these powerful methods were used. It would then be impossible to obtain any protein structure, DNA, or bioenzyme structure. This was inconsistent with the original goal of the Gana observer. The Gana observer had been waiting in the solar system for a million years for the harvest. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry at all. He was still moving slowly towards Earth based on his original plan. ¡°The original plan was for the hunters to harvest the Earth¡¯s organic matter and send them to my body. ¡°Now, all the hunters are dead and the nests have been destroyed.¡± ¡°We can only change the plan!¡± A thought flashed through the Gana observer¡¯s consciousness. ¡°Split his body and harvest protein directly inside the planet.¡± In his huge body, the organs that were like a mother nest began to move. He began to nurture three subsidiary bodies with a diameter of a thousand meters in his body. Every subsidiary body was a powerful combat unit of the clan. For ordinary civilizations on planets, one subsidiary body was enough to complete the harvest. As for the humans on Earth, they had destroyed all the hunters¡¯ nests in an extremely short period of time. The Gana observer was impressed. Therefore, he had prepared three subsidiary bodies for the human civilization on Earth. To ensure that the harvest plan was foolproof. ¡­ Dragon City, the original meeting room of the Executive Council had been modified into a combat command center. Lin Tian, Li Chengqian, and Wang Kui had been here since the start of the Bat Extermination Project. After all the bats were killed, the quantum radar transmitted the location of the Gana observer. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that there was not much abnormality. They did not agitate the alien spaceship on this exercise. The alien spaceship did not accelerate and rush over. This was the best outcome. ¡°Leader Tian, after calculations, based on the speed of the alien spaceship, we only have a month!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t relax. His voice was extremely solemn. ¡°We have to stop the ship from approaching within a month.¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t achieve this goal, humanity will become history!¡± ¡°We have to be prepared for the worst!¡± Chapter 338 - 338 Fire! Angry Observer 1 338 Fire! Angry Observer 1 Five days after the bats were eliminated. All the solar cannons and light speed power cannons were completed and integrated into the planetary management system. ¡°Prophet Leader, the alien spaceship has reached the midpoint of Venus and Earth. The laser arms only take three minutes to attack, and the light speed power cannons only need five minutes to attack.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s time to fire!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve done everything we can!¡± ¡°It¡¯s meaningless to continue waiting.¡± Lin Tian called Li Chengqian. His voice was very serious, filled with fatigue and killing intent! They clearly knew that the alien spaceship was already on its way, but they could only watch helplessly. They didn¡¯t dare to use their weapons easily. They were afraid that the weapons that they had tried their best to create would be useless against the alien spaceship. Lin Tian felt extremely tormented by this intense worry, this feeling that his fate is beyond his control and this feeling that his life was hanging on a line and dependent on some external factors. Even if he had already consumed the plums provided by Li Chengqian and his body had returned to his youth, he still felt the same. Li Chengqian was not in the Divine Dragon Company either. His current location was underground, in a secret base opened up by robots. The secret base was deep underground, so deep that it was nearly reaching the Earth¡¯s mantle. If not for the fact that Li Chengqian¡¯s Stats had already reached ten million, he would not have been able to survive so deep underground. The base was very large. In the center of the base, an unmanned spaceship was under construction, and was near completion. In the spaceship, there was a fusion weapon with a huge yield, so huge that it could shatter the moon. This was one of the contingencies Li Chengqian had prepared. Seeing that the last section of the spaceship had been welded to the fuselage, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said to Lin Tian, ¡°Leader Tian, I agree with you. Fire!¡± ¡°Let the aliens know that we¡¯re not to be trifled with.¡± Lin Tian continued, ¡°Prophet Leader, I¡¯ll wait for you in Dragon City. In three hours, we will blast with all our might!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use solar cannons and light speed power cannons to turn the aliens into cosmic dust.¡± ¡°We either win or die trying!¡± After Lin Tian ended the call, Li Chengqian went to two more secret bases. The Project Pyro base. In this base, there were preserved seeds of all crops on Earth, and instructional videos on the Divine Dragon language and history. There was also technical information from the primitive era to the interstellar era. There were also a large number of petri dishes. There were healthy fertilized eggs in each petri dish. There was also abundant food. There were also nanny robots, armed robots, construction robots, and teaching robots. Even the artificial intelligence Bai Ze had a backup here. If humanity was wiped out by the aliens, this base would immediately fall silent and no signs of life would be leaked. The base would be activated a hundred years later. Based on the established plan, the fertilized eggs would be nurtured and grown outside the body, turning into a human baby. The nanny robot would bring the newborns to the surface and nurture a new generation of humans. It would ensure the continuation of human species and civilization. And in the other base, was the last resort that Li Chengqian had prepared. ¡­ Li Chengqian and the other two gathered together again in the Dragon City battle command center. The big screen in front of them was divided into two parts. A section displayed the Earth¡¯s defensive weapon system, distribution, and operational status. The other section displayed the quantum radar scan information. There were 1,087 house-sized ¡°meteorites¡± scanned by the quantum radar. The trajectory of the house-sized meteorites was clear and could be locked onto by the radar. The alien spacecraft¡¯s position on the quantum radar was flickering and erratic. Every time it flashed, there would be a difference of ten thousand meters from the predicted orbit. There was no pattern to speak of, and it was impossible to lock onto it. Unless it could cover the surrounding 20,000 meters, no one was confident that they could hit it. ¡°It¡¯s about time!¡± ¡°Get rid of these little things first!¡± ¡°Li Chengqian, the solar cannons and the light speed power cannons were developed and built by you.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be the one to issue the order to open fire!¡± Lin Tian instructed. ¡°Alright! Leader Tian!¡± Li Chengqian relayed his orders to the weapon system without delay. ¡°Activate the solar cannons and the light speed power cannons!¡± ¡°Activate the quantum radar array and lock onto the meteorite!¡± ¡°Activate the supercomputer, calculate the trajectory of the meteorites, and calculate the firing ranges of the solar cannons and the light speed power cannons.¡± Li Chengqian issued a series of orders. The galactic-grade weapons of mass destruction that had been hibernating in the depths of the mountains woke up. ¡°Galactic-grade weapons system self-check begins¡­ Self-check complete, weapons system normal!¡± ¡°Activating quantum radar enhancement mode. Activated. Locking on the meteorite is successful!¡± ¡°The supercomputer¡¯s ballistic calculations are complete.¡± ¡°Aiming system adjusted. Adjustment complete.¡± ¡± Galactic-grade weapons activated at maximum power. Charging 1%¡­ 2%¡­ 100%. Charging complete!¡± ¡°Solar cannons and light speed power cannons launch preparation complete!¡± ¡°Locked on to 117 targets!¡± ¡°Fire?¡± Just as Li Chengqian was about to give the order to open fire, Lin Tian suddenly said, ¡°Prophet Leader, what¡¯s the interval between each round of our attacks?¡± ¡°Time is tight and resources are scarce. We only built a total of 117 cannons!¡± ¡°There are 1,087 targets in space.¡± ¡°After we fired and destroyed 117 targets. Will the other targets escape?¡± Lin Tian sounded a little worried. Chapter 339 - 339 Fire, Angry Observer 2 339 Fire, Angry Observer 2 ¡°Leader Tian, don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°As long as there¡¯s enough energy supply, the solar cannons and the light speed power cannons can fire 300 times per second.¡± ¡°It can fire 500 times per second when set in mechanical mode!¡± ¡°It would be too late by the time these meteorites realized that something was wrong!¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s the solar cannons or the light speed power cannons, their attacks can reach the speed of light.¡± ¡°To put it simply, the cannonballs will only be discovered after they land on the meteorites.¡± ¡°This is an attack that cannot be dodged.¡± ¡°We can only take it head-on! If we can survive, we¡¯ll live. If we can¡¯t, we¡¯ll die. It¡¯s that simple!¡± With Li Chengqian¡¯s explanation, Lin Tian finally relaxed. ¡°I understand. Please issue the order!¡± Li Chengqian nodded and ordered in the direction of the big screen, ¡°Fire!¡± On his command, a ten-meter-thick laser beam shot through the atmosphere and pierced the sky like a lightsaber. The laser beams fired continuously, and a huge energy was stimulated, turning the Divine Dragon¡¯s night skies into day. The intense light illuminated the entire Earth. At the same time that the lasers fired by the solar cannons illuminated the Earth, metal projectiles the size of washbasins shot out of the Earth like missiles. An earth-shattering whistling sound erupted in the Earth¡¯s atmosphere after the pellets entered the atmosphere. Everywhere on Earth, loud rumbling sounds could be heard, making everyone¡¯s ears buzz. Other than this buzzing sound, no other sound could be heard. As Li Chengqian gave the order to fire, the huge optical telescope that had been prepared long ago adjusted its position and aimed at the location of the alien spaceship. Li Chengqian wanted to use the light of the laser attack to see what the alien spaceship looked like. It had been a while since the discovery of the alien spaceship. Even with the best optical telescope on Earth, there was no way to see the alien spaceship. It was like optical invisibility. Only the quantum radar could detect the location and size of the alien spacecraft. The best time to see the alien spaceship clearly was during the laser attacks. ¡­ In outer space, in a vacuum environment, sound could not be transmitted. There was only silence. The sun, the core of the solar system, was behind the Gana observer. The sun occupied all the time and space of the Gana observer. Looking back, the sun was like a boundless wall of fire, blocking the path behind it. In front of the Gana observer, the Earth was floating in space. It was only the size of a marble, and the blue Earth was like a blue marble. It was stunningly beautiful. The other places were pitch-black. There was no light emitted, and nothing could be seen. Space was empty, desolate, and there was nothing but darkness. It was like a bottomless pit, striking fear in people¡¯s hearts. The Gana observer¡¯s huge body was like a comet. Not far in front of the Gana observer, 1,087 upgraded hunters were curled up. Only their pitch-black and uneven protective skin was visible. At this moment, the laser beams from the solar cannons arrived! Without any warning, the laser beams landed on the hunters and emitted a bright light. The huge power contained in the laser beams was released at this moment. The laser beams turned into a high temperature of 5,000 degrees and bombarded the hunters. The hunters¡¯ skin couldn¡¯t withstand the solar storm, they turned red and melted instantly. Huge holes appeared on the hunters¡¯ bodies. The laser beams were penetrating inside the hunters¡¯ bodies. At this moment, the hunters suddenly began to absorb the heat. The fatal heat of the laser beams was like delicious food to the hunters. They devoured the heat. A large amount of viscous liquid was secreted from the hunters¡¯ bodies, closing the wounds that had just been opened. ¡°The Gana Race is a cosmic race that lives in space. They like heat and it¡¯s their source of energy. It¡¯s their growth food.¡± The Gana observer¡¯s body kept flashing and disappearing in the universe. ¡°The laser beams are quite powerful. If it were used against other races, a lot of damage would have been done.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, we are the Gana race¡­¡± ¡°Laser is our food. Using lasers to attack us is simply a joke.¡± Adult Gana often enter the solar orbit on the surface of the sun to absorb heat. The intense laser beams that were fired were absorbed by the hunters, providing them with more stamina. The powerful laser cannons were useless against the Gana race! ¡°Against the Gana race, humans are like the ant race, all you can do is pray for mercy.¡± ¡°Any resistance is futile.¡± ¡°It¡¯s meaningless!¡± The Gana observer¡¯s body flashed and disappeared into the universe before reappearing elsewhere. It was like a ghost. This was the spatial ability mastered by the Gana race. The body of the Gana race had a special spatial gravitational sensor organ that could sense the weak spots of space and discover the passageways between high-potential energy and low-potential energy space. As long as he arrived at the high potential energy position and used a small amount of energy, he could activate the high potential energy space. The moment the space was activated, he could move from the high potential energy position to the low potential energy position. Chapter 340 - 340 Fire, Angry Observer 3 340 Fire, Angry Observer 3 The Gana race named this ability spatial displacement! As long as the right position was found, spatial displacement could allow the teleportation to hundreds of light-years away. ¡°We, the Gana race, are a civilization that controls the stars! We can make stars at will!¡± ¡°We, the Gana race, can control space and can move faster than light. We can cross hundreds of light-years in an instant. The vastness of the universe can¡¯t stop us!¡± ¡°We are cosmic lifeforms. We don¡¯t need the protection of the planet¡¯s atmosphere to survive in the universe. After we grow up, we will be cosmic celestial bodies!¡± ¡°We have mastered the secrets of carbon-based life and silicon-based life. We can create life at will, encode DNA, and create unprecedented life!¡± ¡°We are the most advanced civilization in the Milky Way.¡± ¡°A primitive civilization that has just begun exploring galaxies wants to fight us? What a joke.¡± This was what the Gana observer thought. Compared to the Gana civilization, humans were even inferior to ants. Contempt flashed across the Gana observer¡¯s mind. Just then the cannonballs fired from the light speed power cannons arrived! The metal cannonballs were accelerated to a speed close to the speed of light. Its speed was very fast! By the time the Gana observer discovered the cannonballs, the hunters had already been hit. Its speed was close to the speed of light, allowing the small cannonball to possess terrifying power. The hunters could absorb the laser beams, but they couldn¡¯t absorb this terrifying kinetic energy. The first batch of 36 shells passed through the center of the bodies of the 36 hunters. The shells hit the hunters right smack in the center of their bodies. The shells made five-meter-wide holes on their bodies! The hunters¡¯ body tissue was carried back by the terrifying kinetic energy of the cannonballs. All the hunters that had been hit shattered silently in space, turning into balls of cosmic dust. ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s a kinetic energy weapon!¡± The Gana observer¡¯s consciousness transmitted a message, activating the hunters and making them dodge. As soon as the message was sent, the overwhelming number of bullets had arrived. All the hunters were shattered by the cannonballs and turned into cosmic dust. Even the Gana observer, after space displacement, happened to appear in front of a few shells. His hard body was as fragile as paper in the face of a cannonball. It was pierced through by the light speed power cannon. Every pellet that landed on the Gana observer¡¯s body would leave a hideous wound of nearly 10 meters. The mood of the Gana observer has been very calm all this time. At this moment, his emotions fluctuated uncontrollably! Anger and killing intent emerged from his consciousness. ¡°Ants!¡± ¡°All of you will die!¡± ¡°This is blasphemy against the Great, and you will pay for your ignorance.¡± Kinetic weapons were the most powerful weapons in the universe! Kinetic weapons could pierce through stars, and the projectiles fired by kinetic weapons could break through the black hole, which was an abyss of gravity that even light couldn¡¯t escape. Kinetic weapons could disintegrate a neutron star. However, the kinetic energy cannonballs launched by Earth were too small. The cannonballs were also made of ordinary matter. Compared to the 1,000-kilometer-long body of the Gana observer, the damage was actually minor. It was like an elephant being stung by a mosquito. The real reason why the Gana observer was angry was that the Earthling, whom he regarded as an ant, had actually hurt him. Chapter 341 - 341 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 1 341 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 1 Dragon City, battle command center. On the quantum radar, the black dots representing the hunters disappeared after the kinetic energy cannonballs were fired! The tense faces of Li Chengqian and the other two finally relaxed. Just now, the big screen indicated that the laser cannons had already hit the hunters. However, the hunters were still on the quantum radar, they didn¡¯t disappear because of the laser cannons. Everyone got very nervous about this. If even the most powerful solar-grade laser cannons couldn¡¯t kill the hunters, then there was no hope for Earth at all. ¡°The effect of the kinetic energy cannonballs is better than the solar cannons¡¯ laser beams!¡± ¡°The kinetic energy shell tore apart all 1,087 targets.¡± ¡°In three minutes, the optical system will show everything that happened in space.¡± It takes three minutes for light to travel from Earth to where the Gana observer was. It would also take three minutes for the light from the battle site to reach Earth, before it could be recorded and captured by the optical system. Quantum radar is able to feed back the battle in real time because quantum information transfer is instantaneous and implemented through the quantum entanglement principle. Even if something happened 100 lightyears away, as long as a quantum on Earth was entangled with a quantum 100 lightyears away, it could transmit information about what happened 100 lightyears away to Earth in an instant. How far was 100 lightyears? A beam of light could travel 100 years without any obstruction, and light could travel at 300,000 kilometers per second. The distance of 100 lightyears had already exceeded the limits of human imagination. Whether it was Lin Tian or Wang Kui, after hearing Li Chengqian¡¯s words, they both heaved a deep sigh of relief. The goal had been achieved! Earth¡¯s weapons could cause damage to alien spaceships. Although it couldn¡¯t shatter the largest spaceship! At least, everything that happened told Lin Tian and the others that the alien spaceship was not invincible. This was the best news! ¡°According to the signal captured by the quantum radar, 124 shells hit the alien spacecraft.¡± ¡°These cannonballs stopped after entering the alien spaceship¡¯s body! They didn¡¯t directly penetrate it like when they encountered a small spaceship.¡± ¡°The kinetic energy carried by the cannonball did not change the trajectory of the alien spacecraft.¡± ¡°Wait¡­ the alien spaceship suddenly disappeared! He didn¡¯t appear again.¡± At this moment, the alien spaceship disappeared on the quantum radar and never appeared again. ¡°Could it be that the alien spaceship was destroyed by the cannonball?¡± Wang Kui joked, but his tone was serious. Li Chengqian shook his head, ¡°The alien spaceship is huge, like a celestial body.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s shattered by the cannonballs, it will only disperse into more small fragments. These fragments will still be detected by the quantum radar.¡± ¡°It definitely won¡¯t be like what we see now.¡± ¡°In the current situation, I think there are only two possibilities.¡± ¡°The first possibility is that the alien spacecraft has quantum invisibility. After discovering that it was locked onto by our quantum radar, he activated invisibility.¡± ¡°The second possibility is that the alien spaceship has been flashing and suddenly disappeared before suddenly reappearing. My guess is that this should be a wormhole, spatial rift, and other technology.¡± ¡°Alien spaceships can enter wormholes and space cracks.¡± ¡°When the alien spaceship suddenly disappeared just now, it¡¯s very likely that it entered a wormhole.¡± ¡°The previous wormhole was very short, so the alien spaceship could quickly come out of the wormhole.¡± ¡°This time, the wormhole that the alien spaceship entered is very long, so it will take more time to come out.¡± ¡°Personally, I think the second situation is more plausible!¡± On the big screen, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded. ¡°The optical system has captured the battle scene. Do you want to play it?¡± ¡°Play it!¡± Li Chengqian didn¡¯t even think and directly gave the order. ¡°Let¡¯s take a closer look at what the aliens look like!¡± On the big screen, the background was still pitch-black space. Suddenly, the solar canno¡¯s laser beam landed on the hunters, emitting a bright light that illuminated the pitch-black sun. One by one, the curled-up hunters¡¯ appeared on the screen. They had ferocious, chisel-like heads, and triangular mouthpieces and sharp claws. Just one look was enough to send a chill down one¡¯s spine. The Gana observer could be seen behind the hunter. Its shape was like two pyramids combined at the base, pointed on two ends and fat in the middle. There were countless craters on the Gana observer¡¯s body, just like the surface of the moon. These were the marks of where the meteorites hit it. Its dark skin absorbed all the light that was shone on the observer. The first impression the Gana observer gave was that it was huge! This was a celestial body, a planet! The second was, it was black! It was as black as a black hole, as if it could absorb all the light. The originally huge hunter was as insignificant as dust in front of the Gana observer. In the image, the cannonball landed on the Gana observer¡¯s body and a ten-meter-long hole was blasted out. The Gana observer¡¯s skin, flesh, and bodily fluids could be seen. The blood was like magma, sticky and hot. As the blood flowed through, it turned into something like a rock, instantly sealing the huge wound. Li Chengqian was sitting on a chair when he saw the flesh of the Gana observer after being hit by the cannonball. He suddenly stood up and looked at the big screen in disbelief. ¡°How is this possible¡­ How is this possible!¡± Li Chengqian had always thought that the Gana observer was a huge alien spacecraft. Chapter 342 - 342 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 2 342 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 2 He had never thought that it would be 1,000 kilometers long and wide, a quarter the size of the moon, like a celestial body. It was actually¡­ a living thing! A living thing that could actually grow so big! A living thing could actually survive in space! These subverted Li Chengqian¡¯s understanding of life. ¡°An alien spaceship, it¡¯s actually a living thing. This is unbelievable!¡± As Li Chengqian sighed, the Gana observer¡¯s huge body suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed. ¡°Based on what the optical system has seen, the sudden disappearance of the alien creature should mean that it had entered a wormhole¡­¡± The way the alien creature suddenly disappeared proved Li Chengqian¡¯s guess. The fact that the alien spaceship was a living thing stunned everyone. ¡­ Outer space, on the dark side of the moon. In the empty cosmic vacuum, the huge Gana observer suddenly appeared. After the Gana observer appeared, he charged towards the moon at an extremely fast speed. ¡°Die, ants!¡± ¡°I had really wanted to completely harvest the entire civilization and biological system.¡± ¡°But you stupid people have infuriated me!¡± ¡°Even if I can¡¯t harvest it completely, I still want to destroy this planet and all living beings on this planet.¡± The Gana observer¡¯s own mass is very large, and the body has already produced a huge gravitational force. If the Gana observer was willing, his body could create and maintain the atmosphere. The surface of his body could allow humans to survive and reproduce on it. The gravitational force of his body could adhere humans to the surface and not fall into space. The Gana observer has a huge mass. Its body size is only a quarter of the Moon, but its mass is twice the Moon¡¯s. Just by appearing behind the Moon, its huge mass made the Moon and Earth undergo extremely terrifying changes. The Moon is between the Gana observer and the Earth, and is being pulled by the gravitational pull of both. Under the pull of the huge force, the Moon was almost torn into two parts. It was an apocalyptic scene on the Moon. The ground was torn apart, and there was a crazy earthquake. All the mountains were instantly flattened. At the same time, the Earth was also affected by terror. In the face of celestial gravity, humans were as insignificant as dust. The gravitational pull of the Moon in the direction of the Earth was suddenly enhanced by the combined action of the Gana observer and the Moon. The sudden increase in gravitational force had a terrifying effect on Earth. The sea suddenly roared, and a hundred-meter-tall tsunami was created under the influence of gravity. In the face of the 100-meter-tall tsunami, all the ships at sea were instantly folded into the sea like straws. In just a minute, all of Divine Dragon¡¯s vessels, cargo ships, and aircraft carriers at sea were all shattered and sank by the tsunami. All the sailors who went out to sea died in the line of duty. None of the 500,000 sailors survived! The sacrifice of 500,000 sailors made Li Chengqian and the other two feel heavy-hearted, but compared to the situation on the ground, it was not worth mentioning. When the tsunami appeared, a magnitude 12 earthquake hit 150 places at the same time! A magnitude 12 earthquake could destroy the world. It was like the energy of tens of millions of nuclear bombs exploding at the same time sweeping through the entire world. The mountains collapsed and the ground split open. The sturdy buildings that humans were proud of were instantly shattered. No building could survive geological activity of this level. The border between the continents was directly torn apart. The huge crack was several kilometers long and tens of thousands of meters deep. The crack reached the mantle directly. Hot magma rose from the cracks. When the magma rushed out of the ground, it ignited everything. A huge fire and thick smoke covered everything in the world. Sun Island, which was between the tectonic plates, sank into the sea as a result of the destructive tectonic movement. Mount Raya, which was between the plates, collapsed inwards. The surrounding countries were instantly wiped out. No one survived! In the coastal area, a hundred-meter-tall tsunami and an apocalyptic earthquake happened at the same time. Faced with a natural disaster that was like the wrath of the heavens, everyone could only despair! Then, they cried and were shattered by the tsunami! Humans were so weak in the face of natural disasters. They were no different from ants. Most people perished in the tsunami and earthquake. Only a small number of lucky people survived. However, the tsunami continued to hit them. The buildings were shattered, the mountains were shattered, and everything was shattered. Those who were lucky enough to survive the first wave didn¡¯t manage to survive the second wave. Everyone perished! In the face of a natural disaster, struggling was meaningless. One minute! The population on Earth went from 4 billion to 1 billion! Other than Divine Dragon¡¯s hinterland, almost all the humans in the other places were dead. And this is just the effect caused by the appearance of the Gana observer behind the moon. Dragon City, battle command center. Li Chengqian, Lin Tian, and Wang Kui looked at the destructive scene on the big screen and the relevant data. Silence! And¡­ an unquenchable fear! A celestial-level creature like the Gana observer was not something humans could deal with at all, nor could any life form on any planet. To humans, they were innate gods that could not be defeated. ¡°Prophet Leader, what should we do?¡± Lin Tian¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. His voice was hoarse and trembling. His voice contained extremely complicated emotions. There was hope, but at the same time, there was despair. In the past, Li Chengqian could find a solution to any difficult situation. Chapter 343 - 343 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 3 343 Gravitational Pull, Crushing the Moon 3 Li Chengqian took care of the terrifying asphyxiation virus! Li Chengqian had dealt with the invincible bats! Even the small cosmic creatures that could survive in the universe were shattered and turned into cosmic dust by the light speed power cannons developed by Li Chengqian. These experiences gave Lin Tian hope. However, everything that was happening on Earth was telling Lin Tian that any action against the celestial-level cosmic creature was futile. ¡°Prophet Leader, you¡¯re the best! You must have a way, right?¡± Lin Tian lost control of his emotions and suddenly roared. ¡°The light speed power cannons can injure that monster. Let¡¯s fire with all our might and shatter him.¡± Then, Lin Tian roared as if he had grasped a last hope. ¡°Prophet Leader, give the order to open fire! Kill that monster, kill that bastard!¡± In fact, Lin Tian had always known that the command of the weapons system was in Li Chengqian¡¯s hands. He couldn¡¯t use it without Li Chengqian¡¯s authorization. After Lin Tian took on the National Leader profession, his loyalty to Li Chengqian reached 100. Lin Tian collapsed in the face of the current bleak situation. At this moment, a shrill alarm went off in the command center. ¡°Warning! warning! Quantum radar detects alien spacecraft appearing 300,000 kilometers on the dark side of the moon.¡± ¡°Warning! warning! The alien spacecraft is crashing into the dark side of the moon at 30,000 kilometers per second.¡± ¡°Warning! warning! The alien spaceship is directly behind the moon and is completely blocked by the moon. The solar cannons and power cannons can¡¯t attack.¡± ¡°Warning! Warning! The moon will hit Earth if there is an impact! There is an 80% chance that Earth will disintegrate and become interstellar dust!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a 20% chance of fusing with the moon, but the energy released by the impact has a 99% chance of making life on Earth extinct.¡± ¡°Humans, please enter the shelter!¡± ¡°Countdown to impact: 9¡­¡± ¡°8¡­¡± ¡°7¡­¡± The countdown was a countdown to death. Even Li Chengqian¡¯s face was covered in fine sweat. Li Chengqian forced himself to calm down and kept searching for the backup plan he had prepared in his mind. The bomb spaceship was useless! The full power solar cannons were useless! The galactic light speed power cannons were useless! Even the most powerful and most destructive light speed kinetic energy cannons were useless! If the Gana observer appeared elsewhere, Li Chengqian could still give it a try. However, the Gana observer was behind the Moon, and its position was blocked by the Moon. The light speed power cannons were very powerful. It could even be said to be one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. But the power cannons had a weakness. It could only move forward in a straight line after it was fired. Unless it encountered a gravitational abyss like a neutron star or a black hole, he could not adjust the direction of its attack. The Gana observer was hiding behind the moon. Even the most powerful and most destructive light speed kinetic energy cannons couldn¡¯t hit him. It was a useless weapon. Li Chengqian thought of all the methods he could think of, but none of them worked. They were all dead ends. Lin Tian and Wang Kui kept looking at Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian only responded with silence. Their eyes turned from a glimmer of light to bleakness and despair. ¡°Human¡­¡± ¡°Earth¡­¡± ¡°Our civilization!¡± ¡°In the end, it¡¯s just dust in the endless universe.¡± Lin Tian was in complete despair. ¡°5¡­¡± ¡°4¡­¡± The ear-piercing countdown continued. Li Chengqian and the other two looked at the big screen and quietly waited for destruction to arrive. Chapter 344 - 344 Twelve Hours Before Earths Destruction 344 Twelve Hours Before Earth¡¯s Destruction In space, the Gana observer hit the far side of the Moon at an incredible speed. The moment the collision occurred, the Gana observer¡¯s body was suddenly protected by a force field. Then, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the point of impact. This light was even brighter than the sun¡¯s light. The intense light overshadowed the sun¡¯s light, making the sky look as if only the moon existed. An invisible force field firmly protected the Gana observer and converted the observer¡¯s speed into a force that propelled the moon down to the earth. After the impact, the observer¡¯s body occupied the Moon¡¯s original position. The Moon, on the other hand, was on the verge of disintegration after the impact. Originally a spherical celestial body, the Moon sank in the direction of the impact of the observer. From the side, the Moon changed from a spherical shape to a hemisphere, and it was a hemisphere elongated at both ends. The mountain-like rubble floated up from the moon, then broke away from the Moon¡¯s gravitational force and bombarded the Earth at an extremely fast speed. The Moon¡¯s orbit this time was also deviated because of the impact. The Moon was still spinning around the Earth. However, it was moving closer to Earth by about 500 meters per second. The speed at which the Moon approached was still increasing. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 380,000 kilometers. In 12 hours and 40 minutes, the Moon will impact the Earth. The Gana observer¡¯s body had always been blocked by the moon. He used the moon as a shield from Earth¡¯s attacks. The experience inherited from the civilization told him that the closer the prey was to death, the crazier its struggles would be, and the more he couldn¡¯t let his guard down. He had to be careful lest all his efforts went down the drain. ¡°Although it¡¯s a pity that we can¡¯t completely harvest Earth¡¯s civilization.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s the safest thing to do.¡± The Gana observer had to wait until after the Moon¡¯s collision with Earth before sending out its subsidiaries for harvesting. After the Earth disintegrated, all matter on Earth would be exposed to the cold space. The extremely low temperature in space would freeze everything and preserve it. It was the same for biomass. The only troublesome thing was that the time needed to collect biomass would increase, but this was not too troublesome for the Gana observer. ¡­ Dragon city, battle command center. The shrill alarm went off again. ¡°Warning! warning! There¡¯s been a powerful impact on the Moon.¡± ¡°Moon¡¯s orbit has changed!¡± ¡°The Moon is approaching Earth at 500 meters per second!¡± ¡°In 12 hours, the Moon will hit Feizhou.¡± ¡°Based on the impact force, the probability of Earth disintegrating is 95%!¡± ¡°All humans, please be prepared!¡± When Lin Tian and Wang Kui heard the news playing on the big screen, it was as if all their strength had been sucked out of them. They went limp and sank weakly into the chairs. ¡°Humans are too insignificant!¡± ¡°Compared to cosmic creatures that can destroy celestial bodies, humans are like planktons. They are even inferior to planktons.¡± ¡°When we were discovered by a monster of this level, our fate was sealed.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s voice was filled with despair. ¡°Prophet Leader, I want to go home. I want to be with my family for the last time!¡± Lin Tian looked at Li Chengqian with anticipation in his eyes. At this point, Earth was as good as destroyed. Any struggle would be futile. However, under the control of the Profession skills, Lin Tian was loyal to Li Chengqian. Although he wanted to go home at all costs, he still needed Li Chengqian¡¯s approval. ¡°Prophet Leader, I want to go home too! Because of my work, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve spent time with my family,¡± Wang Kui said with anticipation. Li Chengqian was silent for a full 30 seconds before he spoke resolutely. ¡°We have 12 hours and 40 minutes!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not dead yet. The Earth hasn¡¯t disintegrated yet!¡± ¡°If we give up, then there¡¯s no hope at all!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t give up!¡± Li Chengqian said firmly. ¡°There¡¯s still a way. As long as we blow the Moon into pieces, even if the moon lands on Earth, we can¡¯t let the Earth disintegrate!¡± Li Chengqian looked fiercely at the big screen. ¡°As long as we blow up the Moon, we can attack the alien creatures with our weapons!¡± ¡°We will tear him apart! We will turn him into cosmic dust!¡± Li Chengqian was unwilling to accept that all the efforts he had put into his second life had gone to waste. ¡°We can¡¯t give up!¡± After saying this, Li Chengqian ignored Lin Tian and Wang Kui¡¯s reactions. He looked at the big screen and asked directly, ¡°Bai Ze, report the situation of the energy system, network system, weapons system, and radar system! I want a full update.¡± ¡°Power system is 90% damaged!¡± ¡°Earth¡¯s network system is 98% damaged!¡± ¡°Quantum radar completeness 100%!¡± ¡°Command intelligence combat system completeness is 95%!¡± ¡°Solar cannon completeness is 30%!¡± ¡°The normal light speed power cannon is 80% complete. There are still 25 that can be used.¡± ¡°The destructive light speed power cannons are not damaged. All five of them can be used, but because of the power system malfunction, there is only one shot of energy. We have to wait for 20 hours before we can accumulate enough energy to launch it again.¡± ¡°All 31 self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft are available!¡± ¡°All seven points of the starfire inheritance project worldwide have been damaged!¡± ¡°Construction of the cosmic migrant spacecraft is 30% complete. It was damaged in the earthquake.¡± ¡°The planetary explosion device is fully functional!¡± ¡°The galactic satellite remote sensing system is fully operational!¡± This time round, many of the weapons listed by Bai Ze were things that Lin Tian and Wang Kui had never heard of. ¡°Detect lunar conditions!¡± ¡°Deploy all our weapons and formulate a battle plan to shatter the Moon!¡± After Li Chengqian gave the order, countless information was sent to the intelligent combat command system on the big screen. The Moon¡¯s orbit, operating conditions, address, and the possibility of explosion! ¡°Calculating battle plan¡­ estimated to end in 30 minutes.¡± Right on the heels of that, Li Chengqian continued to give orders. ¡°Bai Ze, mobilize the magnetic plane and bring my family and friends here.¡± ¡°Activate the life detection radar and rescue all the Divine Dragon people who are still alive. Gather them here.¡± ¡°Yes, Master! One thousand magnetic planes and 542 combat platforms are all mobilized. The mission is expected to be completed in an hour.¡± The magnetic planes quickly took off. Under the guidance of the life radar, it pulled desperate lives into the cabin. Watching the magnetic planes take off, Li Chengqian brought Lin Tian and Wang Kui out of the battle command center. When he looked up, he saw dilapidated buildings! Fire burned wantonly! Human lives were trampled on! The city was destroyed by the earthquake, only ruins, flames, and death were left in the once bustling city. Desperate cries, cries for help, and screams came from all directions. Further away, the originally beautiful mountains had collapsed. The skyscrapers collapsed like dominoes amidst the crashing sounds. In the face of nature, life is so fragile. Man-made objects were so fragile! Chapter 345 - 345 Lunar Blast Project 345 Lunar Blast Project Thirty minutes passed quickly. Li Chengqian and the other two composed themselves and returned to the battle command center. Bai Ze¡¯s voice sounded at the right time. ¡°Master, the battle plan has been calculated!¡± ¡°Because of the impact, a one-kilometer crack appeared on the surface of the moon. Radar detected a crack that went straight to the center of the Moon.¡± ¡°As long as we send all the self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft into the crack, we can blow the Moon into bits!¡± ¡°The probability of the Earth disintegrating will fall from 100% to 50%.¡± ¡°After the Moon is blown up, if we continue to use nuclear bombs to attack large fragments, the probability of the Earth disintegrating will be reduced to 0.1%.¡± ¡°Master, do you want to carry out the battle plan?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the probability of humans surviving? How many people can survive the impact of the Moon fragments?¡± Li Chengqian did not give the order directly. Instead, he asked another question. ¡°Excluding other factors, the probability of humans surviving is 0.001%!¡± ¡°It¡¯s estimated that at most 100 people will survive the disaster.¡± This was the probability of humans surviving after excluding other factors. This calculation was just based on the Moon fragments hitting Earth. It did not take into account the Gana observer! If the Gana observer was taken into consideration, humans¡­ had no chance of survival. Li Chengqian looked up at the Moon in the sky. In just half an hour, the Moon had already gone from the size of a plate to the size of a car. The huge crack on the surface of the Moon was visible to the naked eye. The Moon, which was the size of a car, emitted a silvery-white light. It was like a silver light that illuminated the entire ground. As the Moon approached, the impending geological disaster became more serious. According to the data observed by the remote sensing satellite, magma was gushing out of the cracks in the ground. The tallest mountain peaks on Earth had been razed to the ground. A tsunami had sent waves that were a few hundred meters high crashing into land. The waves broke through the coastline and rushed hundreds of kilometers inland. The most prosperous coastal city of Divine Dragon had already turned into ruins. Everything was shattered by the waves. ¡°Bai Ze, carry out the Lunar Blast Project in an hour!¡± ¡°Blow up the Moon. You can use missiles and nuclear weapons at will.¡± ¡°We must destroy the Moon!¡± Li Chengqian gave the final order. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Bai Ze, have you saved the rest? How many people are left now?¡± Li Chengqian asked. ¡°After rescuing 990,000 people, the life detector no longer detected any signs of life.¡± ¡°Everyone is already gathered in the square outside!¡± Although Li Chengqian had already guessed the outcome, after hearing the exact number, his heart still felt cold. In 30 minutes, of the 4 billion people in the world, only 990,000 were left! In an hour, 99.9975% of the people died! Only three out of every 100,000 people survived. This bloody number made people tremble uncontrollably. They felt a chill and fear. This was an unprecedented disaster for humanity. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go out!¡± Li Chengqian took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He brought Lin Tian and Wang Kui out. Outside, the farmers had already cleaned up the debris. The Farmers used their profession skills to clear the wasteland. All the fallen buildings and debris had been cleared and there was nothing but flat land. They then turned the entire land into flat farmland. The people rescued by the magnetic planes were standing on the ground. Everyone had despair on their faces! People were sobbing, looking for their relatives and friends in the crowd. Most of them went from hope to disappointment, and finally to despair. Then, they sank on the ground tiredly and looked into the distance. Li Chengqian said loudly, ¡°Friends, we¡¯re the only ones left on Earth.¡± ¡°We¡¯re the only humans left! If we all die, humans will be extinct.¡± ¡°If nothing goes wrong, the Moon will hit Earth in 12 hours.¡± ¡°If nothing goes wrong, Earth will turn into cosmic dust on impact.¡± ¡°All traces of our appearance in the universe will be erased by the impact.¡± ¡°But we still have hope!¡± ¡°As long as we can blow up the Moon, Earth won¡¯t be smashed.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll have a chance to live.¡± ¡°In an hour, the spacecraft carrying the fusion hydrogen bomb will fly to the Moon.¡± ¡°There¡¯s still hope for us. Don¡¯t despair, everyone. Cheer up.¡± ¡°Farmers, come and collect the elixir seeds. Use your Skills to plant and harvest them. Make sure that in an hour, everyone can eat an elixir fruit.¡± Li Chengqian took out a thumb-sized, red and round fruit. Li Chengqian nurtured the elixir fruits. It was the best fruit for increasing one¡¯s vitality. After eating it, one¡¯s physical strength, energy, speed, defense, vitality, and recovery would instantly increase ten-fold. It could slightly increase the probability of humans surviving this disaster. ¡°Architects, build shelters according to the highest standards! The shelters must be able to accommodate a million people!¡± ¡°I demand that even if the Earth disintegrates, the fallout shelter will not disintegrate!¡± ¡°Workers and Engineers, immediately build the Hull engine! Airtight devices! Small nuclear batteries! Solar power panels! Water circulation system! Water storage devices!¡± ¡°People with other professions, gather materials for construction!¡± ¡°If the Earth unfortunately disintegrates, your current work will be the hope for humanity to continue.¡± ¡°Yes! Prophet Leader!¡± Everyone got down to work in accordance with Li Chenqqian¡¯s instructions. Their dim eyes flashed with hope again. Then, in order to survive, the survivors began to work. On the desolate land, under the effect of the Farmers¡¯ skills, a one-meter-tall elixir fruit grew instantly. The red elixir fruit emitted an alluring fragrance. The Harvest skill was released, and all the plants were instantly harvested. Piles of elixir fruits stacked up beside the Farmers. The Designers followed Li Chengqian¡¯s instructions and used their Skills to design! A large amount of design information was entered into the computer through the brainwave receiver. The planetary management system instantly broke down the tasks and assigned them to the Architects and Workers present. The Workers could make cement with their bare hands and break down metal objects to make steel bars. The Architects could use these raw materials to build buildings. The Engineers were in charge of the equipment manufacturing in the building. They could optimize the blueprint designed by the Designers and directly turn the raw materials into finished products. The other professionals displayed their abilities and quickly used their Skills to transport the raw materials for building the shelter and making the related equipment over. At this moment of life and death, everyone¡¯s potential was stimulated. The shelter was built at a visible speed. At the last moment, Li Chengqian met his parents, girlfriend, and all his female friends. He hugged everyone tightly! Li Chengqian was both emotional and hopeful. ¡°I love all of you!¡± ¡°We will survive! A beautiful future awaits us!¡± He said the same thing to everyone and returned to the battle command center without hesitation. Lin Tian and Wang Kui did the same. After meeting their families, after speaking to them and hugging them, Lin Tian and Wang Kui returned to the battle command center. Because it was time to attack! The Lunar Blast Project was officially launched! On the big screen, the countdown was flashing¡­ 10¡­ 9¡­ 8¡­ Chapter 346 - 346 The Beginning of Destruction, Death! 1 346 The Beginning of Destruction, Death! 1 ¡°All self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft shipped to the launch port!¡± ¡°Powerful light speed power cannons recharged.¡± ¡°Locked on to the Moon¡¯s central rift.¡± ¡°The success rate of the Lunar Blast Project is 75%!¡± ¡°Preparations are complete before launch. Do you want to proceed with the original plan and open fire?¡± Bai Ze¡¯s cold voice sounded as he reported everything. ¡°Fire!¡± Li Chengqian issued the order. He didn¡¯t hesitate at all. The ground 100 kilometers away from the battle command center cracked open, and the muzzles of the 100-meter-thick powerful light speed power cannons emerged from the ground. Apart from being able to fire cannonballs, the powerful light speed power cannons could also fire anything that could be accelerated by electromagnetism. The self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft can also be accelerated and launched from the ground. BOOM! A self-exploding fusion bomb spacecraft was accelerated to the extreme and rushed from the ground into the sky. Because it was too fast, the moment the self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft entered the atmosphere, the specially made materials on the surface rubbed against the air, emitting bright flames. The flames pierced the sky like red lightning. Right on the heels of that, self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft were launched one after another. The sky and the ground were illuminated by the fire. ¡°The Lunar Blast Project has begun!¡± Under the illumination of the red flames, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. ¡°The Prophet Leader has already taken action!¡± ¡°The self-exploding spacecraft has been launched!¡± ¡°Everyone, hurry up!¡± ¡°If the self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft doesn¡¯t achieve the predetermined effect, the shelters we¡¯re building now will be humanity¡¯s only hope.¡± ¡°Old Li, do you think our son can blow up the Moon?¡± Chen Li looked at the Moon that was getting bigger and bigger in the sky. The Moon, which was originally only the size of a car, already looked like a small mountain hanging in the sky. The cracks on the Moon¡¯s surface were clearly visible. ¡°Yes! Your son can do anything! Don¡¯t think too much. Hurry up and work. We can¡¯t cause trouble for our son at this time,¡± Li Lantian replied without thinking. He used the Farmer profession¡¯s planting skill. ¡°Piao Ling, do you think we can survive?¡± A tall and strong boy was driving a large truck filled with metallic materials needed for the construction of the Shelter. In the passenger seat was a beautiful girl. She looked at the flames rushing into the sky with longing in her eyes. ¡°Under the guidance of the Prophet Leader, we¡¯ll definitely survive. When we settle down, I¡¯ll marry you and give you a bunch of healthy children.¡± At this moment, everyone stopped in unison and stared at the Moon that was like a small mountain in the sky. The self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft quickly passed through the atmosphere. Three minutes later, it stabbed the large crack on the Moon¡¯s surface according to its predetermined trajectory. The self-exploding fusion bomb spacecraft behind also rushed in. ¡°3¡­ 2¡­ 1! Explode!¡± Li Chengqian seized the opportunity and sent a command to set off the explosives. All the self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft gathered in the middle of the Moon and self-detonated at the same time. Nuclear fusion weapons were called hydrogen bombs on Earth! This was the most powerful and destructive weapon on Earth. The principle of hydrogen bombs was the same as the sun! The reason why the sun could burn continuously was because the interior of the sun was constantly fusioning. Therefore, hydrogen bombs are also called mini suns. Every hydrogen bomb on the self-detonating fusion bomb spacecraft was very powerful. If they exploded on Earth, they could flatten an area with a radius of 500 kilometers. This time, all the hydrogen bombs manufactured by Li Chengqian were fired together. If it landed on the Sun Island, it could sink the Sun Island into the sea! And now, these terrifying weapons of mass destruction exploded at the same time on Li Chengqian¡¯s command! The flames suddenly erupted and instantly filled the huge crack on the Moon. Terrifying power came from the center of the explosion. Even space rippled from the unprecedented nuclear fusion bomb explosion. And the Moon had directly withstood the power of the fusion explosion. With the huge crack as the center, it exploded into four pieces. On the ground, the huge full Moon that was like a mountain peak seemed to erupt with extremely bright light. The silver moonlight was replaced by fiery red flames. Amidst the fiery flames, the huge full Moon was like a plate that had fallen to the ground. Like a plate that had fallen to the ground, it shattered into four pieces. The four fragments, because of their different mass, suffered different forces from the explosion of the hydrogen bomb. They slowly separated in the sky and the distance between them widened. The four fragments flew at different speeds and angles, forming four pieces of silver glass suspended in the sky. There was surprise and excitement on everyone¡¯s faces. Many people hugged each other in their excitement, and many people screamed because of their excitement. Seeing hope in despair was the most exciting thing. ¡°Success!¡± ¡°We did it!¡± ¡°The Moon has been blown apart!¡± ¡°The exploded Moon no longer has the ability to disintegrate the Earth.¡± The people present were not scientists, but everyone knew a principle: no eggs are intact when a nest is overturned! If the Earth disintegrated, no one would survive. Without the protection of the Earth¡¯s atmosphere, the human body could only live for 60 seconds in the face of the extreme cold of the sun and the vacuum. As long as Earth was around, even if the Moon fragments still destroyed everything on Earth, there was still hope compared to Earth disintegrating. ¡°Everyone, get to work!¡± ¡°Build the shelter! Only then can we survive the bombardment of the Moon fragments.¡± Chapter 347 - 347 The Beginning of Destruction, Death! 2 347 The Beginning of Destruction, Death! 2 ¡°Scientists, please calculate again. We are building the fallout shelter 32 kilometers underground. Can it withstand the attack of the Moon fragments?¡± ¡°Quick, everyone, do your best! We must finish building the shelter. As long as we can withstand the attack of the Moon fragments, we can survive.¡± ¡°Old Li, look, we did it! Our son really blew up the Moon!¡± Chen Li wiped her tears and hugged Li Lantian excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s right! I said that nothing can stump our son!¡± Li Tianlan¡¯s eyes were also filled with excitement. ¡°Everyone, come and have a Great Buckthorn fruit! It can immediately restore your stamina and energy! Get back to work after you have eaten it!¡± Then, Li Lantian used the Harvest skill on the ripe Great Buckthorn fruit trees. Piles of Great Buckthorn fruits appeared in the ground. Everyone responded to Li Lantian¡¯s call and grabbed a handful of Great Buckthorn fruits. They then worked even harder. Seeing the Moon had been blasted, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm soared. Their tired bodies and spirits seemed to have been injected with energy and became lively again. Li Chengqian didn¡¯t feel the same way as the ordinary people. Ordinary people thought that if there was a problem with the Moon, then as long as the problem with the Moon was resolved, everyone could survive. Only Li Chengqian and the other two knew that the Moon was nothing to the Gana observer. The moment the Moon was blasted, while the ordinary people became excited and relieved, Li Chengqian and the other two became even more solemn. ¡°Quantum radar activated at full power! Capture the location of the alien creature!¡± ¡°Prepare to fire the destructive light speed power cannons! Once it passes through the gap in the middle of the moon, it can attack alien creatures. Fire with all your might!¡± ¡°Galactic light speed power cannons can fire freely and shatter large pieces of the Moon!¡± ¡°When the Moon fragments fall into the atmosphere, aim the missiles and nuclear bombs at the large fragments and fire with all your might! Hit everything!¡± After quickly giving the order, Li Chengqian and the other two stared fixedly at the data transmitted by the quantum radar on the large screen. One minute¡­ five minutes¡­ Ten minutes later, the Gana observer suddenly appeared behind the gap and was exposed to the muzzle of the destructive light speed power cannons. The giant cannonball, which had already accelerated for ten minutes in the light speed power cannon and was infinitely close to the speed of light, was like a beam of light. It let out a roar that shook the world and instantly broke through the atmosphere and blasted out. In just two seconds, this huge cannonball crossed 600,000 kilometers. It struck the Gana observer¡¯s body without him noticing. The diameter of the cannonball reached 100 meters! The power was on a completely different level from the power of a cosmic system light speed power cannon. A thousand-meter-wide wound instantly appeared on the Gana observer¡¯s body. The physical strength of the Gana observer was comparable to a diamond, but in the face of a light-speed cannonball with a diameter of 100 meters, it was like paper. A wound that was hundreds of kilometers long was instantly blasted open. The shell rubbed against the Gana observer¡¯s body, producing a high temperature of more than 10,000 degrees. The muscles and tissues along the body of the Gana observer are carbonized and necrotized at high temperatures. At the same time, extreme pain was transmitted to the intelligent brain of the Gana observer, making him roar uncontrollably. ¡°Damned ants! Damned primitive lifeform!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve completely enraged me!¡± He couldn¡¯t suppress his fury. A 100-meter light-speed cannonball had already injured him! Because he was injured, he was extremely angry. The idea of completely harvesting Earth¡¯s life, protein structure, bioenzyme structure, and DNA structure was thrown to the back of his mind. Right now, he only wanted Earth, and all life on Earth, to be destroyed. The Gana observer¡¯s huge body suddenly accelerated and entered the wormhole, instantly disappearing into space. In the next moment, the Gana observer¡¯s huge body appeared above Dragon City. Gravity erupted, and mountain peaks and buildings on the ground, attracted by the gravity of the Gana observer, floated up from the ground. Mountains float into the sky, and people need to grip the ground tightly to prevent themselves from being sucked away. The huge body of the Gana observer covered the entire sky. There was no longer any light on the ground, only darkness. ¡°Primitive creatures, you stupid people have angered me!¡± ¡°All of you¡­ Die!¡± In the minds of all the living people, the sharp and ear-piercing voice of the Gana observer sounded like the roar of a creature from hell. ¡°Release subsidiary bodies!¡± Immediately, two pyramids rushed out of the Gana observer¡¯s body. The sub-bodies had a life detection device, space collapse ability, and lethal rays. On the surface of the planet, it was extremely fast and could reach any place on Earth in a minute. ¡°Electromagnetic disorder!¡± ¡°Magnetic disorder!¡± ¡°Foreign objects and creations are not reliable!¡± ¡°All the power belongs to Gana!¡± Invisible waves were released from the Gana observer¡¯s body. All electromagnetic equipment and weapons on Earth were on fire. The destructive light speed power cannon that had injured the Gana observer was completely destroyed. The cannonball that was already accelerating hit the control room in the opposite direction and completely destroyed it. Fiery flames appeared on the big screen of the battle command center. If not for Li Chengqian¡¯s quick reaction, Lin Tian and Wang Kui would have been burned. Magnetic planes and electromagnetic generators that relied on magnetism to operate emitted a charred smell after producing a large number of sparks. In an instant, the invention that humans were most proud of, the electromagnetic blanket, was directly destroyed by the Gana observer. The weapons used to deal with the Gana observer were all destroyed! Li Chengqian¡¯s preparations were like a joke. Right on the heels of that, the Gana observer¡¯s sub-bodies began to move. They flew above the crowd at an extremely fast speed. There was a circular hole under each pyramid, and a ray of light came from the holes. The light shone on the crowd. Everyone was restrained by an invisible force and pulled forward like puppets. Then, as if on purpose, the sub-bodies turned transparent, and the people on the ground could see what happened to the people who had been pulled up. The people who were pulled up landed in a pool filled with a transparent liquid. They started screaming hysterically when they landed in the pool. A large amount of thick smoke then came out of them before they melted into the pool. Everyone was extremely terrified when they saw this! A deep, bottomless hole opened on the Gana observer¡¯s body. A powerful suction force emerged from the hole. Mountains, tall buildings, and everything else were instantly sucked in like dust sucked into a vacuum cleaner. In one breath, the Gana observer had sucked in 90% of the remaining 990,000 people on the ground. The Gana observer was even more cruel and terrifying than the mythical gods. The few who were lucky enough to survive were filled with immense fear. Even Li Chengqian was the same! The terrifying power and destruction ability of the Gana observer made him feel fear involuntarily. This was information engraved in the genes of low-level creatures. This information crazily reminded Li Chengqian to run, run! Otherwise, he would die! Chapter 348-END - 348 Time Explorer 348 Time Explorer Planet Pegasus 58. Emperor District! Li Chengqian was in a daze. His eyes were lifeless as he looked ahead, his face filled with pain. It was as if he had yet to recover from his nightmare. The last scene flashed in his mind. The Gana observer took another deep breath. The remaining living people were all sucked away. In the end, only Li Chengqian remained on the ground. Then, a crack suddenly appeared on the Gana observer¡¯s skin, and he looked at Li Chengqian with his blue lake-like eyes. Its eyes were filled with mockery, as if it had seen a ridiculous ant. When it opened its eyes, it was incomparably cold. A mechanical voice sounded in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. ¡°Ants!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been watching you for a long time!¡± ¡°After all, an ant that can drive the rapid growth of civilization is very interesting.¡± ¡°The kinetic energy cannon and the laser cannon are all very powerful weapons. If you develop for another 100 years, you might be able to hurt me.¡± ¡°But now, it¡¯s just a toy.¡± As the Gana observer spoke, two cannon-like objects extended from its body. Then, the cannon opened fire. A cannon shot was fired. The shelter that had just been completed by the Professions melted like ice under the green liquid canons of the Gana observer. There were originally a few people hiding in the shelter. When the liquid entered the shelter, there was nowhere to escape. The moment they came into contact with the green liquid, they screamed and melted, leaving no bones behind. ¡°This is your shelter!¡± Li Chengqian¡¯s mind rang with the cold voice of the Gana observer. Then, the gun barrel on his body shot out green liquid again. The speed of the liquid was extremely fast. In an instant, it reached ten kilometers away. It was the strongest kinetic energy cannon Li Chengqian had built. The green liquid landed on the barrel of the kinetic energy cannon. The cannon barrel made of super alloy melted without any resistance and was destroyed by the Gana observer. ¡°This is your kinetic cannon!¡± Right on the heels of that, countless cannon muzzles extended from the Gana observer¡¯s body, and green liquid shot out from the cannon muzzles at the same time. At the same time as the liquid was launched, a projection of the Earth appeared in front of the Gana observer. Thirteen red dots were marked on the phantom. Each point represented a human Starfire Project base. These bases were deep underground, and there was enough food, fertilized eggs, artificial embryo cultivation devices, and all kinds of robots. This was Li Chengqian¡¯s backup plan. Even if everyone died at the hands of the Gana observer, with just one of these 13 bases, humanity would not perish. But¡­ it was still discovered by the Gana observer! BOOM! On the phantom image of Earth, the 13 points exploded at the same time! They were erased from the face of Earth by the Gana observer¡¯s green liquid. ¡°This is the last hope of humanity!¡± The Gana observer saw Li Chengqian¡¯s fury and despair. It felt vindicated when it saw the state he was in, with the bloodshot eyes. ¡°Monster, die!¡± Li Chengqian was furious. His Stamina Stats had already reached ten million, a million times that of an ordinary person! Engineer Skill: Production! He grabbed a piece of metal beside him and turned it into a sharp javelin. With a sudden throw, the javelin was like a bolt of lightning. Because it was too fast, the friction in the air turned red. The flaming javelin could kill anyone and penetrate any building on Earth. The javelin carried Li Chengqian¡¯s fury. It was aimed at the Gana observer¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ridiculous!¡± The Gana observer¡¯s cold voice sounded in Li Chengqian¡¯s mind. Then, the javelin was blocked by an invisible force field and floated in the air. It was about two meters away from the Gana observer¡¯s eyes and could no longer move forward. ¡°Ants, you can die too. It¡¯s your fate to be completely exterminated!¡± An invisible force field wrapped around Li Chengqian from all directions. He wasn¡¯t able to resist this force. Under the pull of this force, Li Chengqian floated into the sky and headed towards the huge mouth controlled by the Gana observer. ¡°Earth is also destroyed!¡± The Gana observer¡¯s voice sounded. Li Chengqian realized that his position had changed. It was not on Earth, but in space. In front of him was the blue Earth. The Earth was like a bright pearl hanging in the dark universe. Then, this pearl silently shattered and turned into cosmic dust. When Earth became cosmic dust, Li Chengqian also fell into the mouth of the Gana observer, and into the liquid that could melt everything. ¡­ ¡°I have failed again! How did Emperor Yu survive this crisis? The Gana observer was not someone that humans at that time could defeat.¡± Li Chengqian took off the Helmet on his head, he was visibly upset. He had already tried many times! None of it was successful! At this moment, lines of clear words appeared in the air in front of Li Chengqian. Time: Human Universe Calendar Year 15478 Location: Inhabitable Planet Pegasus 58 Interference Timeline: Human Earth Calendar Year 2045 Incident: Gana Observer Invasion Intervention Result: Human Destruction, Earth Destruction Number of failures: 48. Number of successes: 0 In the year 2045 of the Earth Calendar, humans on Earth had just begun to explore space when they were invaded by the members of the universe¡¯s Demigod civilization. They released the asphyxiation virus, created hunters, and even smashed the Moon and crashed into Earth. Heroes are made in chaotic times. In the calamity of extermination, a person appeared among the humans, Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu turned the tide and led the humans on Earth. Not only did he kill the Gana observer, but he also led the humans out of the planet and evolved them into a cosmic race within a hundred years. In the 15,000th year of the Human Universe Calendar, the greatest scientist of humanity invented time interference technology. This technology did not enable people to really transmigrate to the past. However, it could throw a person¡¯s consciousness into the virtual space-time of the past. It could even change everything in the past. This change is virtual, occurring only in the past timeline and having no effect on the real timeline. Due to the discovery of time interference technology, a new Profession appeared among humans. Time Explorer! However, not everyone could become a Time Explorer. This was because time interference technology was very dangerous. One needed to invest their consciousness into the past. After his consciousness passed, he would lose his original memories. He wouldn¡¯t know that he was a Time Explorer at all and would think that the world he was in was a normal world. Therefore, it was very easy for Time Explorers to get lost in the past timelines. Of course, Time Explorers also had different characteristics. Although a Time Explorer couldn¡¯t recall his real memories, he would feel a sense of deja vu when he saw what he had seen before. If he could not recall his identity in his lifetime, he would only die. If he died in the past timeline, then he would also die in reality. If a Time Explorer recalled his identity, his consciousness couldn¡¯t stay in the past space-time. He would be forced back to his original space-time by an unknown force within an extremely short period of time. 99.9% of Time Explorers would be mesmerized and die the first time they interfered with the timeline! Only very few Time Explorers could survive. Even if a Time Explorer was lucky enough to survive, he would still be in danger in subsequent explorations. The mortality rate was terrifyingly high! After the Time Explorer profession appeared, it became the Profession with the highest mortality rate among humans. Li Chengqian was different from other Time Explorers. He could bring the partial memories back to the past. Moreover, he had a talent, he could awaken the memories of reality right before he died. At the same time, his consciousness could leave the past timeline and immediately return to reality. In other words, time interference did not pose any danger to Li Chengqian. ¡°Time exploration can only go up to 2040 at the earliest. It won¡¯t work any further!¡± ¡°Someone said that before the 2,040th year of the Earth Calendar, humans had a huge secret that would affect the continuation of humans. Therefore, Emperor Yu sealed the timeline of the 2,040th year of the Earth Calendar!¡± ¡°If you want to obtain this secret, you have to pass a test!¡± ¡°Defeat the Gana observer and lead humans to evolve into cosmic lifeforms. This is the test.¡± ¡°As long as you can pass the test, you will be invited by the highest institution of Humanity, the Heavenly Court Planet, to enter.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that Emperor Yu is still alive! He¡¯s presiding over the Heavenly Court Planet.¡± ¡°If Emperor Yu can do it, I, Li Chengqian, can definitely do it.¡± ¡°Emperor Yu only has one chance. I have countless chances. I can keep trying and failing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take a break for a while and learn from my failure. I¡¯ll build a good foundation for the next time I interfere.¡± ¡°The next time I enter the timeline, I have to carefully choose the memories I bring with me. Next time, I have to strive to kill the Gana observer and fuse its corpse with Earth!¡± Li Chengqian had murder in his eyes. ¡°Bai Ze, get me a plate of stir-fried dinosaur eggs. I¡¯m hungry!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± The End.
