Chapter 214: with translation of chapter title

After chatting with Chen Hao, Lu Yu sought out Professor Chen again.

The two spent an entire day working out some research directions and also proposed some topics.

These topics were mainly aimed at Ke Da students.

Lu Yu had previously said he would try to let university students participate, pooling ideas.

Lu Yu knew some key points and technical bottlenecks, so the topics he and Professor Chen devised were highly targeted.

Moreover, Chen Hao's trip to Mi Guo was not fruitless; at least he brought back several Fruit Phones and gained a deep understanding of the Fruit system.

Now, Chen Hao is attempting to crack the Fruit system to obtain its core data.

Next, Chen Hao's main research direction is the Fruit system.

Although Lu Yu thinks Chen Hao is likely to fail, he does not consider it pointless.

Chen Hao and his team will gain a deeper understanding and more profound insight into the phone system during this process.

So Lu Yu also divided the Research Center into two.

He gathered everyone's strength to develop the Android system together.

In this way, Ke Da was set in motion by Lu Yu.

Soon after, this trend will spread to other universities, and a craze for electronic technology will quickly arise across Huaxia.

Of course, these are matters for later.

……

After settling the affairs of the Research Center, Lu Yu became much more relaxed; he only needed to go there regularly to give some directional advice.

It's not that Lu Yu doesn't want to do more, but……

A system may require tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pages of code, involving countless details.

Lu Yu truly cannot do it alone.

So he might as well become a guiding presence.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed; the R&D center had not yet produced any results, but everything was proceeding according to plan, so there was no cause for panic.

However……

At that moment, Grand released two new games.

These two games were certainly not made by Lu Yu.

Earlier, following Lu Yu's suggestion, Chen Qiao reorganized Grand's internal structure.

The Technical Department remained divided into two sub-departments: Technical Department Two handled maintenance and updates, while Technical Department One was responsible for researching new games.

Now, results have finally emerged.

In fact, before the games were released, Chen Qiao had already had Lu Yu try them out.

Lu Yu felt these two games were rather ordinary, but barely passable, so he agreed to their promotion.

This could also be seen as an encouragement for Technical Department One.

But because Lu Yu thought the games were mediocre, he did not invest much in their promotion.

But……

Both Lu Yu and Chen Qiao somewhat underestimated Grand's current standing, or rather, they underestimated Lu Yu's influence in the gaming world.

Clearly, they only posted a bit of information on Grand and lightly advertised on major portal sites.

Yet on the day the games launched, the download count exceeded one million!

Players said……

"Grand has released new games again! Brothers, hurry up and download!"

"I don't know if these are Lu Yu's games, but I haven't gotten tired of the games he made before; in fact, I'm still excited about them. Since new games have come out, I naturally want to download one."

"I can only say this: Lu Yu's games are all masterpieces, not to be missed!"

"I've started downloading; just waiting for it to finish!"

Netizens' enthusiasm was high; within half an hour, the message board on Grand's official website already had over ten thousand comments.

Upon this, Chen Qiao wore an expression of emotion, looked at Lu Yu, and said, "Little Yu, you are truly now the top figure in domestic gaming."

"Look at what they're saying!"

"It seems as if they will download anything you make."

"Such a thing has never happened before."

Lu Yu, however, couldn't help but frown and did not immediately respond to Chen Qiao.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" As he asked this, Chen Qiao's thoughts had already raced ahead, and he had already pinpointed the problem.

Then, Chen Qiao's brows also involuntarily furrowed.

Again at that moment, Chen Qiao and Lu Yu heard cheers coming from the neighboring office.

That was the Technical Department One office; the people cheering were presumably its colleagues.

They must have seen the download numbers and were feeling happy about their game's success.

"Xiao Yu... do you think there will be problems?"

"If nobody fans the flames, there probably won't be any major issues."

"After all, we have clearly marked that the game's creator is not you."

After Chen Qiao remained silent for a while, he finally looked at Lu Yu and spoke.

The problem actually could be big or small.

Now, the players' enthusiasm is high; they are coming for Grand's and Lu Yu's reputation, and their expectations are also high.

So... when they download the game and it fails to meet their expectations, they naturally feel somewhat disappointed.

But this is actually quite normal, after all, no game producer can guarantee that every game will be a big hit.

Moreover, when Grand promoted the new game, they specifically pointed out that it was a 'sincere work by Grand's new team'.

But it's hard to withstand the maneuvers of those with ulterior motives!

Before, Lu Yu didn't even have to do anything, and people would already blacken him to charcoal?

Now, Grand's new game, to some extent, can actually be considered a 'handle'.

Those with ulterior motives fanning the flames could indeed damage Grand's reputation.

At this moment, Lu Yu finally spoke up, saying: 'Let's see what kind of reaction the netizens will have next.'

'After all, this is a problem we must face.'

'The bigger the fuss this time, the more problems are exposed, which is actually better.'

'Because, we will continue down this path from now on.'

Chen Qiao nodded lightly and said: 'I'll have the operations department pay more attention; if anything happens, I'll notify you right away.'

Lu Yu nodded lightly, then said: 'You'd better go say hello to the tech department first, let them know that something might happen next, so they can be mentally prepared.'

'Of course, encouragement and rewards cannot be lacking.'

Chen Qiao said: 'Don't worry, I'll handle these things well. How could I let them get hurt over such a small matter?'

The two chatted a while longer, then Chen Qiao left.

Lu Yu, however, remained in the office, gazing out the window, his sight seeming to drift far away.

After a while, he finally withdrew his gaze, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

'Let me see if your hands are long enough to reach all the way to Huaxia.'

'If you really have that ability, then...'

'I will make you lose this ability forever!'
