Chapter 172: The Fruit Phone Is Here!

Undoubtedly, Dan Ding doesn't like Lu Yu; it could even be described as hatred.

If Lu Yu weren't a Huaxia, Dan Ding would have acted against him long ago!

But Lu Yu happens to be a Huaxia, a Huaxia from that wondrous nation that even Mi Guo couldn't strike at will!

Now, Dan Ding's exit is rather awkward.

Continue to strike at Lu Yu?

Apply pressure on the Game Alliance?

Dan Ding naturally has that ability.

But even if he eliminated Lu Yu outright now, what would that achieve?

The data for Devil May Cry, whether in Huaxia or abroad, can be described as "splendid".

The Game Alliance's denial only raises doubts.

For the Game Alliance, that could even be a fatal blow!

Dan Ding has never been a fool; a fool could never reach his current stature.

Therefore, he would never use such a foolish method.

So, now… what should be done?

"No need to exert pressure on the Game Alliance any longer."

"Let the outcome of this round be whatever it will be."

"Also… get the PR department ready!"

"I don't trust Lu Yu; he couldn't deliver such an excellent performance next time."

"No matter how talented a person is, they can't be godlike every single time."

Dan Ding thought for a while, then finally issued an order to the secretary who had been waiting in the Office.

Dan Ding, who never fights unprepared and whose every move can be called a finishing blow, this time… what tactic will he employ?

…

The Game Alliance's review results for the game won't be released until next week.

After all, there are too many participants in the competition.

The judges need to play through each game one by one, and identify each game's essence and flaws.

It's a hefty task.

Meanwhile… the Netizens have already begun celebrating early.

"I haven't played every game in this competition, but I can say Devil May Cry is definitely the best among them!"

"Don't ask me why; the answer is… Lu Yu! Because it's Lu Yu, it's the best."

"I can hardly wait. I'm eager for the Game Alliance to announce this round's champion!"

"Undoubtedly, this time Lu Yu has once again brought glory to our domestic games."

"Believe that as long as Lu Yu is present, our domestic games can reach a higher level, even achieving world‑class status."

The Netizens now even consider Lu Yu the champion of this round.

However, it is worth noting that even in this atmosphere, few Netizens say Lu Yu will win the International Game Maker Competition.

Even though Lu Yu displayed dominance in the first two rounds.

The reason is actually simple.

Only super geniuses make it to the final round.

They certainly didn't exert their full strength in the first two rounds.

After all, everyone knows the earlier rounds are just for elimination.

The final round is when the true winners are decided.

Some even think that in the final round, even a game of Devil May Cry's caliber might not make the top three!

Moreover, the games Lu Yu presented in the first two rounds were already so strong; what could he possibly bring in the third?

One should know that producing each game is essentially a work of creation.

Creation requires inspiration, a flash of insight.

Can Lu Yu truly have brilliant inspiration at every moment?

Of course, this view hasn't been explicitly expressed yet.

But many so‑called experts think so.

Not saying it now is merely a matter of timing.

…

Lu Yu doesn't really care about the online celebrations.

He has long seen through the nature of Netizens.

He also knows that what others say—or don't say—holds little significance for him.

All he needs to do is keep improving himself.

Now, Lu Yu has returned to Ke Da.

This time, Lu Yu isn't here because of the Freshman Competition.

Lately, A Jie's side has made good progress; all procedures have been finalized, and there are no troublemakers left.

If nothing goes wrong, the Freshman Competition should proceed smoothly, and the awards Lu Yu set up will become an indispensable part of Ke Da.

At this moment, Lu Yu entered Professor Chen's Office.

Inside the Office, there were two other people.

Lu Yu didn't recognize those two.

After Professor Chen introduced both sides, Lu Yu then learned that these two people were actually relevant leaders of the information department.

"Xiao Yu, it's like this. Recently we received news that abroad a company has developed a new mobile phone."

"The new phone itself isn't important; what matters is…… the system used by this new phone."

"With our current technology, we actually can't crack the content of this system."

"Furthermore, according to relevant data analysis, this phone…… might trigger a revolution in the phone industry."

"This will also lead to many changes, such as the network system, and even lifestyle."

Professor Chen also didn't beat around the bush; he got straight to the point.

Lu Yu blinked, then instinctively asked: "Is the brand of this phone Fruit?"

"You've already heard about it?"

"It really is Fruit."

"They will hold a launch conference this month."

"It will probably land in our country next month."

Professor Chen was a bit surprised, but not too surprised, after all this news isn't exactly top secret.

Lu Yu blinked again for a moment.

Fruit Phone has arrived!

In Lu Yu's original history, the Fruit Phone actually wouldn't appear for a few more years.

But now I don't know what's going on; it actually arrived this much earlier!

Probably still because of Lu Yu's arrival?

Actually none of this matters; what matters is the arrival of the Fruit Phone, which marks the coming of a great era.

Just as Professor Chen said, the emergence of the Fruit Phone even changed people's lifestyles.

At least, after the Fruit Phone appeared, Huaxia entered a true Internet era.

Next, Huaxia might undergo earth-shaking changes.

Not to mention, the impact of the Fruit Phone on the phone industry.

But what Lu Yu didn't expect was that the relevant department actually had such awareness, or foresight.

Actually, this isn't anything strange.

Huaxia has never lacked talent!

"So, Professor Chen, what you mean is……" Lu Yu gathered his thoughts, glanced at the two leaders, then his gaze fell on Professor Chen.

Professor Chen said: "That's how we think. Our phone technology has actually always been behind other countries."

"Now abroad there is again such a great innovation……"

"If we continue to develop along the original track, we will only fall further behind."

"So we are preparing to set up a research team, hoping to develop some progress in phone technology."

"I think you should be interested."

"Of course, your ability in programming is what matters most."
