Chapter 137

A corner of Moyuwangka.

Qin You looked around for a long time before slowly withdrawing his gaze, looking at Lu Yu and saying, "Many times, I feel you are not a child."

"You are more like an entrepreneur with extraordinarily sharp business acumen."

"Just like this internet cafe……"

"Business may be a bit dim now, but as people's consumption views change and the pursuit of material wealth grows ever higher, your internet cafe will surely become mainstream."

Lu Yu couldn't help but glance at Qin You again; Qin You indeed is a person with keen vision.

From his operation of 'Sword and Distant Place', one can see that he even has vision surpassing the current era.

Now, Qin You merely glanced at Moyu a few times and already saw the huge upward potential of this industry.

"So, what is it that you called me about?" Lu Yu thought for a moment, then decided to get straight to the point.

Qin You's expression also turned serious; after pondering for a while, he looked at Lu Yu and said, "You should have heard of the International Game Maker Competition, right?"

Lu Yu nodded lightly.

"Will you participate?" Qin You asked immediately.

Lu Yu said, "I'm not sure; I actually don't really want to participate, but you should also know that most people online now want me to participate."

"My refusal could have a considerable impact on Grand's reputation."

"This may no longer be something I alone can decide."

Qin You suddenly sighed.

He did not speak immediately, but picked up his coffee, took a sip, then looked out the window, his expression showing a hint of……worry?

"Do you know something about this competition?" Lu Yu thought for a moment and asked.

Qin You looked at Lu Yu, yet still remained silent.

"So this competition indeed has some behind-the-scenes maneuver? Someone wants me to participate in this competition?"

"Are these online discussions being guided by someone?"

Lu Yu's eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly; although he had suspected this earlier, now being more certain still made his mood unpleasant.

"You are indeed smart, not at all like someone your age, and even……someone my age might not necessarily have your kind of thinking."

Qin You looked at Lu Yu as if he were looking at a monster.

"Actually, all of this is somewhat related to me as well."

"Do you still remember Qin You?"

Lu Yu nodded lightly; Qin You is the game director of Grand Plan, and the previous 'Conquest' was his work.

Lu Yu even knows that Qin You posted two scarves related to him.

"Qin You has already left Huaxia and returned to Mi Guo."

"You should have seen his scarves; you should know that he is genuinely convinced of you."

So, after he returned to Mi Guo, he told his peers about your deeds.

"Qin You is also a leading figure in Mi Guo's gaming industry, knowing many formidable people."

"One day, he had some dispute with a certain conglomerate because of you."

"At that time, Qin You said, the other party is far inferior to you, not even worthy to hand you your shoes."

"Although this matter eventually came to nothing, as a result, you have already entered the sight of some people in Mi Guo."

Qin You stopped speaking here, then looked at Lu Yu again.

Lu Yu truly didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.

He had gained fame abroad, yet now he is being targeted.

Lu Yu can now even imagine how things unfolded.

As of now, foreigners' impression of Huaxia probably still lingers from several decades ago; they look down on Huaxia people from the bottom of their hearts.

So, when Qin You praised Lu Yu so highly, those foreigners naturally were dissatisfied.

Moreover, because Qin You has some influence, this made those people's impression of Lu Yu even worse.

So, they want to defeat Lu Yu, or rather completely press him to the ground and rub him.

They want to prove in this way that Lu Yu is nothing special, and they are the strongest.

"So, you still should not participate in this competition." Qin You finally concluded.

Lu Yu did not answer immediately, merely staring at Qin You.

After a moment, Lu Yu then said, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Qin You gave a bitter smile and said, "We are indeed competitors; I have even lost to you twice."

"But…… you won fair and square; you are a person of genuine talent."

"I admire you; I do not want you to be ruined by scheming and trickery."

"Moreover…… although I have been abroad for years, I am still a Huaxia person."

Lu Yu laughed, a happy laugh.

Not every Huaxia person who goes abroad forgets their identity.

Perhaps there are such and such helplessness; they cannot return to the homeland, but their hearts always remain in Huaxia.

Those ungrateful people naturally exist as well, but they are absolutely a small minority.

"I will participate in this competition."

"They want to prove they are stronger than Huaxia, stronger than us. To that end they have also spent so much thought."

"How could I let them down?"

Lu Yu said.

Qin You furrowed his brows tightly and said, "You should know that winning the competition is just winning the competition. But if you lose…… the consequences are unimaginable."

"If I win, that'll be fine." Lu Yu said matter-of-factly.

Mr. Qin did not relax his brow because of Lu Yu's confidence; on the contrary, his expression became even uglier.

"If you know the opponent is already prepared, then you should also know that overseas game development standards are actually far higher than domestic ones."

"Your Legend, Hero Kill, and even Plants vs. Zombies are top-tier, but..."

"The overseas standard will only be higher!"

"And this time, your opponent is not just a single person or a single company."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Yu naturally understood.

As of now, domestic game development standards are truly nineteen streets behind overseas.

The opponent came prepared again this time; they are surely determined to win, so their preparations could be extremely thorough.

Under these circumstances, no matter how you look at it, Lu Yu has no chance of winning.

If Lu Yu weren't Lu Yu, if he hadn't time-traveled back from the future, he would really have wanted to quit.

But... Lu Yu is Lu Yu!

"I have confidence." Lu Yu could only say that.

Mr. Qin opened his mouth, but then didn't know what to say.

Lu Yu is too confident; in this state, who could persuade him?

Mr. Qin is a smart person, so... he just sighed and said, "Then I wish you... swift victory."

Having said that, Mr. Qin had already risen from his seat, preparing to leave.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, but then suddenly spoke up to stop Mr. Ma.
