Chapter 203: Idea

Wait until I come back from Mi Guo!

I will definitely bring back something useful by then!

Chen Hao ultimately said this, his eyes filled with longing.

But Lu Yu knew Chen Hao was destined to be disappointed.

However, of course Lu Yu at this time merely smiled, without offering advice.

After chatting a while longer with Professor Chen and Chen Hao, Lu Yu did not leave Ke Da but instead went to the experiment center.

In the lobby of the experiment center, Lu Yu met A Jie.

Right, because of the Magic Capital University freshmen joint competition, Lu Yu casually let A Jie join the management of the experiment center.

Now A Jie can be considered the student management representative of this building, or more clearly put, A Jie has become a potential employee of Lu Yu.

At this moment, upon seeing Lu Yu, A Jie's face initially showed surprise, but immediately… his expression fell, and he dared not look toward Lu Yu.

After A Jie finished his greeting, Lu Yu then smiled and said, "What happened?"

A Jie stammered for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Lu Yu, I'm sorry, I failed to complete the task you entrusted to me."

Lu Yu said nothing, merely quietly watching A Jie.

A Jie dared not look at Lu Yu, his face still full of guilt.

After another long silence, he seemed to gather courage, looked at Lu Yu and said, "Now… many students come to the experiment center, not just to study, they…"

"They sometimes also play games…"

"But they don't spend too much time playing games, and I am also regulating their behavior."

"They will surely correct themselves!"

A Jie's speech grew faster and faster, as if afraid Lu Yu wouldn't hear him out.

At this moment, A Jie's mood was indeed quite uneasy.

Lu Yu certainly spent a lot of money and effort building this lab, and naturally its purpose was to improve the students' learning.

But now…

Lu Yu entrusted the lab's management to himself, yet he himself did not do it well, so A Jie naturally felt uneasy inside.

Lu Yu, however, smiled and said, "Come on, let's go up and take a look."

A Jie couldn't help but stare, not expecting Lu Yu to be completely unangry.

Then the two went together to the second and third floors.

After walking around, Lu Yu discovered that the situation was actually not serious.

There were indeed people playing games, but more were studying, and the students who played games were self-conscious and did not disturb those nearby.

At this point, Lu Yu had already come to the office together with A Jie.

After sitting down, Lu Yu then smiled at A Jie and said, "A Jie, the students playing games actually has little to do with your work."

"You also know I am a game developer, so I have no prejudice against games."

"On the contrary, I think playing games in moderation is still beneficial to people."

"For example, playing Energetic Dance Troupe can improve hand speed and hand‑brain coordination."

"For example, playing adventure games like Devil May Cry can actually expand one's imagination and make thinking more lively."

"Of course, the premise for all this is moderation."

"Moreover, when people are tired, having some diversion or leisure is actually a good thing."

"Work and rest combined."

This is Lu Yu's genuine thought.

His ideas also have scientific backing; people who are good at games are generally quite smart.

But of course, if one becomes addicted, that is another matter.

A Jie couldn't help but stare again; he had forgotten Lu Yu's original identity.

But… how should we handle this now?

Are we just going to let the students play games in the lab?

That really isn't okay, is it?

Lu Yu seemed to see A Jie's thought, smiled, and said, "Actually, we can look at the problem from a different angle."

"For example, we can set a daily limit on game time for each computer."

"Or again, we can specifically set a time during which students are allowed to play games."

"Of course, this requires designing some programs."

"I believe this shouldn't be difficult for you."

"As for the specifics, once you have figured it out, send me your plan, and then we'll decide together."

A Jie's eyes lit up again.

Is it really that simple?

Indeed, it really is that simple!

It's just a change of thought, yet it easily solves the problem without causing any backlash!

A Jie's gaze toward Lu Yu has changed.

Perhaps this is why Lu Yu can achieve such accomplishments at such a young age.

After chatting with A Jie, Lu Yu did not immediately leave Ke Da; instead, he wandered around the lab a bit more.

When he was about to leave, he received a call from Lao Li.

Lu Yu couldn't help but wryly smile; today really has been full of unusual events.

……

Ke Da, President's Office.

"Regarding letting students enter your Research Center, I already have some ideas."

After Lu Yu sat down, Lao Li poured Lu Yu a cup of tea and then began to speak slowly.

Lao Li says he will not hold any more competitions.

He plans to proceed in a way that everyone can take part.

"You discuss with Professor Chen and come up with some projects so that all the students can join in."

"Then I will have some professors provide targeted tutoring for those students and select from them the talent you need."

"Of course, the final decision is still yours to make."

Lao Li said so.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up; Lao Li's idea was good.

Originally, open‑source code design requires enough people to participate, so that different and novel ideas can arise.

Now this model actually aligns with "open source".

Later, Lu Yu can release some projects that don't involve the core, or even release core projects in a less obvious way.

Lu Yu doesn't expect the students to solve the problem directly, but with so many participants, a relatively correct direction will surely emerge.

Lu Yu discussed with Lao Li for a while longer.

In the end, Lu Yu decided to put up another sum of money as a reward.

When Lao Li heard this, the corner of his mouth trembled a few times, and he said, "Xiao Yu, I know that having motivation makes actions more effective."

"But... each time you have to put in money and effort, that's... not very good, right?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's fine; it's just one million."

Lao Li: …

One million is no small amount in this era.

Back then, even a ten‑thousand‑yuan household was considered a big shot; how much time has passed since that era?

But... seeing Lu Yu's completely indifferent demeanor, what could Lao Li say?

In the past, Lao Li still thought of cultivating Lu Yu, making him Ke Da's pride.

But now...

Sigh, better not say...
