Chapter 159: One setback after another!

The goal of winning the International Game Maker Champion is indeed great, but it shouldn't be met with ridicule.

Perhaps Lu Yu's remarks will cause some dissatisfaction among foreigners toward us Huaxia people, but is it right to blame Lu Yu for things that haven't even happened yet?

Furthermore, can our Huaxia really not make progress just because of foreign criticism?

If we can't even bear this bit of pressure, what lofty goals are we talking about!

These were comments posted by some netizens on a tieba, and then quickly reprinted on every portal site of Huaxia.

Many people agreed with these views and felt sorry for their previous actions.

The wind shifted again.

Just as the discussion began to shift in favor of supporting Lu Yu, the big V with the online name Zhang San once again posted a weibo.

I never oppose someone having a grand dream; that dream can even be endless.

Humanity indeed progresses because of those extraordinary imaginations.

But the premise of all this shouldn't be that it doesn't affect others, right?

You say it so lightly, but won't the resistance Lu Yu brings affect domestic game development?

Do you know that many of our domestic technologies currently need foreign support?

Do you know that many of our domestic games are actually imported from abroad?

If foreign countries withdraw their technical support, if they don't allow us to import games, how are our game people supposed to progress?

If we don't even have learning targets, let alone teachers to guide us, how can we progress?

Just feel our way in the dark?

That's not impossible, but... how long would the required time be?

And how many times more effort would be required?

Considering a problem requires using your brain, not just hot-blooded enthusiasm, not so-called charging forward!

Zhang San's weibo, at first glance, seems utterly flawless!

Most netizens fell silent.

Even the netizens who had previously posted in support of Lu Yu now couldn't find any words to rebut.

Although there are still some Lu Yu fans supporting him.

But logically and verbally, it appears quite empty, lacking any persuasive power.

……

The impact of Zhang San's weibo was truly huge; almost everyone who goes online knows about it, even some people who don't play games.

Because of this, it has been elevated to a level beyond just games.

However……

Yet this matter hasn't affected Lu Yu.

At this moment, Lu Yu arrived at Ke Da.

Yesterday, Lu Yu had already agreed with A Jie that today they would meet with the student union cadres to prepare for the freshman competition.

At this moment, inside a classroom at Ke Da.

Lu Yu glanced around the classroom, couldn't help but stare, his gaze landing on A Jie, and said, 'Haven't the other classmates arrived yet?'

A Jie's face flushed a little embarrassed, and he said, 'They... all quit, saying... they have other things to busy themselves with; now it's just the three of us.'

Yes!

At this moment, the classroom only has A Jie and two other classmates.

You know, the student union cadres who had promised to come help yesterday numbered over ten!

A Jie, you don't need to cover for them!

They just saw the online discussion, thought Lu Yu would definitely lose that International Game Maker Competition, and felt it would be embarrassing to follow him, right?

Exactly, the competition hasn't even started yet! How do they know Lu Yu will lose?

The two classmates beside him looked displeased.

Then……

A Jie glared at them, and they only then realized they had misspoken—Lu Yu is right in front of them!

Um... Lu Yu, we believe in you; you will surely achieve good results!

The two classmates looked at Lu Yu and said so.

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled, not really taking this to heart.

Then Lu Yu began to share his ideas about the freshman competition.

First, we should try to let all freshmen know about this competition so they understand its significance.

Then comes the selection.

Freshmen actually have no foundation, so we can't directly conduct selection.

So I want to organize special training for the freshmen.

At that time, I will invite some teachers, even professors, to give lectures specifically for the freshmen.

This process will probably last about a month.

After a month, we can combine their regular performance with the final evaluation results to make the final decision.

That's roughly my idea.

Do you have anything else to add?

A Jie and the others…… all froze.

They had never even thought of this before.

They thought Lu Yu was just organizing a sign‑up and then holding a direct exam.

Lu Yu, however, still has to gather the freshmen for training!

Having such a process, even if these freshmen ultimately get no results in the competition, for them it is still a great advancement!

This is absolutely…… absolutely a beneficial and harmless action!

Lu Yu simply doesn't need to do so much!

Lu Yu also definitely didn't come for the so-called achievements!

Right!

Earlier someone said that Lu Yu accepted this task because he wanted to pad his résumé!

Now! Who dares to say such things!

"We know!"

"We will surely, according to your requirements, put in our utmost effort to complete this task!"

A Jie and the others couldn't help clenching their fists; at this moment their conviction became unprecedentedly firm.

Lu Yu lightly nodded and said, "You indeed need to work harder, because I may be very busy during this period and might not be able to come to Ke Da every day."

"Moreover, I am not very familiar with the school."

"So, strictly speaking, you are the organizers of this competition."

The three all nodded heavily.

Lu Yu then chatted with the three for a while, discussing the details of the next steps.

About two hours later, Lu Yu finally left Ke Da.

……

At the same time, inside the Office of the Ke Da Student Union Headquarters.

"Has Lu Yu left?" Huang Musen glanced at a student union official and asked casually.

"Yes, Lu Yu has left." That person replied.

"Was Lu Yu's expression very gloomy when he left?" Huang Musen's smile grew a bit wider.

That person fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Lu Yu had a blank expression."

Huang Musen's smile disappeared.

Most of the student union officials withdrew from Lu Yu's task, naturally including Huang Musen's "contribution."

In the situation with no manpower, even if Lu Yu had sufficient ability, what could he possibly do!

He will surely be furious and frustrated!

He might even go straight to the principal!

But……

Blank-faced, as if nothing had happened, he directly left Ke Da?
