Chapter 35

Lu Yu left.

There's nothing strange about that.

But...

After Lu Yu left, Chen Yang actually also left!

This is... very strange.

Professor Chen will distribute tasks to each student every day.

These tasks are released based on the research progress of the project.

Each student needs to complete their own task, otherwise it will affect the project progress.

This is the most basic requirement!

If you can't even do this, how can you talk about making a greater contribution to the project?

So Chen Yang will work overtime tomorrow, because his ability is lacking and his foundation is too weak.

But today... everyone is still working hard, yet Chen Yang left?

Did he give up?

Maybe?

After all, this afternoon all of Chen Yang's time was taken up by that kid.

Most importantly, that kid will be here for the next few days.

So Chen Yang giving up now would also be a wise choice.

Of course... how much helplessness there is in this, only Chen Yang would know.

The students thinking this way looked at Chen Yang's eyes again with pity.

Effort... really is the least important thing in this world.

After Chen Yang left for a moment, Professor Chen stood in front of the computer lab, coughed once, and drew the students' attention.

"Fellow students, I have something to tell you about Chen Yang." Professor Chen spoke.

All the students' gazes fell on Professor Chen, their eyes showing understanding.

Is Professor Chen about to announce the news that Chen Yang will leave their research project?

Sigh...

From now on, everyone's workload will increase!

"Chen Yang's talent isn't very good, something everyone should know."

"For a period of time, Chen Yang barely existed at the bottom, each time struggling to complete tasks."

"Everyone knows that for our work, effort is important, but talent is more important."

"Or rather, in any industry, to reach the top level, one relies on that bit of talent."

"But today I saw something different."

"I realized I was wrong."

Professor Chen, saying this, actually sighed.

The students looked puzzled, how... there's still a twist?

Professor Chen continued: "Today Chen Yang gave me a big surprise."

"He carefully looked through the code I sent him... his completion level is very high!"

"Not a single line of code is redundant; almost all code reached the utmost conciseness."

"This is the highest completion code I've seen so far."

"You... should learn from Chen Yang."

"Strive again, strive; fight again, fight."

Professor Chen, saying this, glanced at everyone present, then... left.

Silence, the computer lab fell into absolute silence.

After a while, it was like a sudden storm, the whole computer lab buzzed!

"Holy shit! Chen Yang actually finished today's task? How is that possible! When I got the task this morning, I also roughly looked at Chen Yang's task, and it's not less or simpler than anyone else's!"

"So... when that kid was just there, it didn't affect Chen Yang? But I just saw Chen Yang's expression remained solemn the whole time."

"What the hell! Is this really real?"

The students loudly discussed, their faces full of shock.

Then... the computer lab fell into silence again.

At this point, some students had already opened Chen Yang's uploaded code.

After another moment...

"What Professor Chen said is correct, Chen Yang's code really... really has high completion!"

"Chen Yang... Chen Yang, what did he eat? How... how could the change be so big? Not only is the completion high, but the time taken is actually less than usual, faster than us!"

"Why such a change? Could it be that Chen Yang evolved just overnight?"

"If we talk about change, it's probably... the arrival of that kid named Lu Yu in the afternoon..."

They're all programmers, naturally good at logic, so their gaze quickly locked onto Lu Yu.

But... the logic matches, yet... it's hard to believe!

Could Chen Yang undergo such a big change because of a kid?

And only in the span of an afternoon?

This is... what divine logic!

But! This is indeed the only possibility.

Silence, the computer lab fell silent once again.

The atmosphere suddenly…… became strange.

Perhaps…… if that kid comes again tomorrow, the mystery will be solved?

Suddenly, all the classmates were filled with…… anticipation for Lu Yu's arrival tomorrow?

……

Lu Yu ate the dinner He Sui made, then returned to his room.

He opened the computer and searched again for Mr. Qin.

But usable information was scarce.

Lu Yu still didn't know who Mr. Qin was, nor what background Mr. Qin had.

He also didn't know why, but Lu Yu cared quite a bit about this Mr. Qin.

Perhaps…… perhaps it's because this Mr. Qin proposed the idea of making a large-scale online game?

Lu Yu roughly knew what would happen next.

One could say that the era of online games is coming!

So……

Does Lu Yu also have to start making a large-scale online game?

Large-scale online games and single-player games like Plants vs. Zombies are completely different.

Leaving aside technical issues, just the workload alone would be impossible for one person to complete.

The investment…… is enormous. From code development to renting servers……

Lu Yu originally had a plan.

Using Plants vs. Zombies to prove his ability, gaining recognition from Chen Qiao and the industry.

Then make a hit game, thereby accumulating enough startup capital.

After that, Lu Yu would start making big games, firmly establishing his foothold in the gaming industry.

But now……

Lu Yu might need to change his plan.

The plan was disrupted, which is actually quite unpleasant.

Or just wait and see.

If that Mr. Qin really comes with great momentum, he will surely have other moves.

By then, it won't be too late for Lu Yu to act.

Whether in skill or awareness, Lu Yu is ahead of this era!

……

The next day, Lu Yu arrived at Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University in the morning.

This time, Lao Li again came to pick him up.

Chen Qiao's car for Lu Yu hasn't arrived yet.

Lu Yu and Lao Li went straight to the computer lab.

Lu Yu noticed that the classmates in the computer lab noticed him right away, and…… they didn't look away.

This is really strange!

Lu Yu remembered that yesterday when he came in, no one noticed him for a while, but now……

What happened?

"Lu Yu, you're here!" Fortunately, someone spoke up at that moment, breaking the silence.

Chen Yang walked over to Lu Yu with an excited expression.
