Chapter 124

Qin You's mockery this time is already quite serious.

Although he didn't name names, anyone who knows a little about Grand Plan and Grand can tell he's targeting Lu Yu.

"Qin You! Delete your post immediately." Mr. Qin found Qin You right away and said in an extremely stern tone.

Qin You laughed angrily.

To be honest, half of the reason Qin You returned to China was because he received an invitation from Mr. Qin—only half!

In other words, Qin You never considered himself Mr. Qin's subordinate.

And now Mr. Qin is speaking to me with this attitude and tone?

Most importantly, Qin You doesn't think there's anything wrong with his post.

"Why?" Qin You still kept a bit of restraint, not lashing out directly.

"Lu Yu now is not someone we can slander!"

"Moreover, Hero Kill hasn't even been released; what makes you think it's definitely inferior to Conquest?"

"Believe me, delete that post of yours."

"Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Mr. Qin's expression grew increasingly serious.

Qin You laughed and said, "Are you scared of Lu Yu? It's just a Legend game—it's already made you lose the thought of challenging Lu Yu."

"You weren't like this before. You used to be unstoppable, fearless."

"You now... really make me look down on you."

"Just as I said, Legend is merely a flash of inspiration from Lu Yu."

"I even think Lu Yu is nothing more than a flagship that Grand put out."

Qin You's remark means that Plants vs. Zombies and Legend are likely Grand's long-prepared trump card.

Lu Yu might not even have participated in the development; he's merely a flagship Grand uses to attract attention.

Mr. Qin furrowed his brows even tighter; he wanted to speak up and explain.

But……

"Enough, you don't need to say anything."

"I take responsibility for what I've done."

"And don't forget our original contract."

"We're just partners; you have no authority over me."

Having said that, Qin You walked away directly.

Mr. Qin stood there for a moment, then couldn't help but look toward the direction Qin You left, and finally… sighed.

He who reaps what he sows cannot live!

Qin You has probably been abroad too long and has forgotten humility.

Abroad often emphasizes standing out.

But… most people in China prefer to hide their shortcomings.

Lu Yu should now be launching Hero Kill; perhaps he isn't prepared?

Moreover, Lu Yu is now the idol of all Huaxia students, a model many parents use to educate their children!

Is it really okay for Qin You to slander Lu Yu like this?

Once……

Mr. Qin didn't think further; he could only hope that Hero Kill's quality would be far worse than he imagined.

Otherwise……

The consequences would be severe!

Qin You couldn't even bear it!

……

Inside Lu Yu's office.

He had already discovered Qin You's post.

Because Qin You actually still has quite a few fans, they reposted his post to various major forums and portal sites.

They even added their own opinions, directly naming Lu Yu.

This instantly made Qin You's post naturally become the hottest topic of the moment.

Now many people are already discussing it.

"Lu Yu is still so young; this is already his third game developed within a year. Didn't he just take the National College Entrance Examination not long ago? How does he have so much time and energy?"

"I think what Qin You said is also right; Plants vs. Zombies and Legend are probably just flashes of inspiration from Lu Yu."

"I feel Hero Kill might run into a Waterloo."

Everyone began to worry about Hero Kill's quality.

Some even said, "Lu Yu isn't really the game's developer; he merely gave an idea."

Many people chose to remain silent.

Because they thought this was likely the truth.

The pressure from Grand and the pressure on Lu Yu suddenly became huge.

Lu Yu, however, doesn't mind; if a person reaches a high position, how could there not be rumors and gossip?

Because at this point he has become the focus, and every tiny flaw on him gets infinitely magnified.

Lu Yu doesn't mind, but someone does.

Lao Li called Lu Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, do you need Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology to step forward? We can prove your achievements in the professional field."

Professor Chen also called Lu Yu, saying: "Little Yu, if you need, I can make public your contribution to the network firewall system."

Even the senior officials of Mo Du's Ministry of Education called Lu Yu, saying: "Our Mo Du education system can provide endorsement for you."

These people are each more persuasive than the last.

No matter how you say it, Lao Li is the president of Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology, holding a not-low position in society; moreover, many talented people have graduated from that university.

Professor Chen is already a pinnacle; if he were to announce the news that Lu Yu represented Huaxia students in the International Network Security Competition and even won the championship.

It would surely cause a sensation.

If Professor Chen were to reveal that Lu Yu participated in the firewall's creation and even overhauled the Ministry of Security's firewall system, then……

The result would be hard to imagine.

The words of the Ministry of Education's senior officials represent the government itself—what they say goes!

Lu Yu only needs to nod, and all the rumors will truly be just rumors.

However, Lu Yu did not agree to them.

This is merely his own affair; there's no need to pull in those connections—using a cannon to shoot a mosquito is... too extravagant, too wasteful.

Or rather, Lu Yu has never taken Qin You seriously from the start until now.

The scenery everyone sees is simply not on the same level.

Time passed just like that for two days.

"Hero Kill" is finally about to go live!

In fact, "Hero Kill" had already been completed, including its artwork.

However, it took some time to integrate it into Penguin's Game Center.

After all, during this period, Penguin's user base grew too quickly, and Mr. Ma was already somewhat overwhelmed.

But no matter what, "Hero Kill" still went live!

……

Shen City, inside a certain Teng company.

At this moment, Mr. Ma was not at his desk; he had gone to the Data Analysis Department.

"Hero Kill" has officially gone live!

For the launch of "Hero Kill", Mr. Ma has not been idle this period.

This time he fully trusted Lu Yu's ability, increasing bandwidth and servers.

At this moment, Penguin can already support over ten million simultaneous online users!

Penguin's Game Center has also reached the ten-million scale!

This time, Mr. Ma believes, at least sufficient preparations have been made.

So, after "Hero Kill" goes live, will it end in dismal failure, or become a nationwide hit?
