Chapter 43

The two fell silent for a moment, then Lu Yu spoke: "So, Uncle Chen called me, wanting me to make a game?"

Chen Qiao was stunned.

He actually didn't mean that.

The game Mr. Qin wants to make is even a large-scale online game.

He doesn't look down on Lu Yu, but just relying on Lu Yu alone, he really... cannot produce such a large-scale game.

So...

Why on earth did he call Lu Yu?

This... even Chen Qiao himself can't explain it!

It's like when a child encounters a problem, they always habitually go to an adult?

But Lu Yu is the child, so this... is rather awkward.

"Little Yu, the only thing that can counter a game is indeed a game, but... the other side is making a large-scale online game!" Chen Qiao said.

"So what?" Lu Yu asked calmly.

Exactly! So what?

Chen Qiao couldn't answer either.

"Uncle Chen, you probably won't accept this, right? Just let that Mr. Qin take over the domestic game market share?" Lu Yu spoke again.

Chen Qiao naturally unwilling; he founded Grand, just wanting his own games to become popular domestically, wanting to become the domestic game industry's top leader, even...

Even to launch an attack on the world!

Who says Huaxia can't have good games!

But...

Now Chen Qiao really has no confidence.

"Uncle Chen, are you afraid? Afraid of what? Afraid your technology isn't as good as others? Afraid your ideas aren't as advanced? Afraid your investment isn't as much?" Lu Yu kept asking.

He indeed isn't ready yet, but...

But he also isn't completely without a backup plan.

What he considers not being ready is just... not having 100% confidence.

Now rushing into development, he only has a 90% chance of success.

In order not to let Mr. Qin completely dominate the market, Lu Yu perhaps can only reluctantly bear the cost for this 90% chance of success.

Chen Qiao stared for a moment, then said: "Little Yu, to be honest... I'm afraid of everything!"

Lu Yu:...

From this we can see that domestic game developers are indeed inferior.

Grand is already considered a top-tier domestic game company, but Chen Qiao still... has no confidence in himself.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "Do you believe in light? Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in me?"

"Little Yu... what do you mean?" Chen Qiao's breathing became rapid.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, then said: "I actually have a plan to make a large-scale online game, but I'm not fully prepared yet."

"However... if we start, I think I can still succeed."

"But of course, I need Uncle Chen's help and trust."

"Really?" Chen Qiao hurriedly asked, "Do you really have a plan to make a large-scale online game?"

"What do you need me to prepare?"

"Just say it! I will definitely create a good enough environment for you!"

Lu Yu was a bit helpless.

He originally still thought about how to persuade Chen Qiao, but now... he had just put forward his idea, hadn't even said the specific plan, and Chen Qiao...

They chatted a while longer, then hung up.

Lu Yu could feel that Chen Qiao's side had already become excited.

After carefully recalling the conversation just now, Lu Yu felt Chen Qiao's reaction was actually quite normal.

Chen Qiao had the daring to found Grand, so he naturally had the daring to invest in a large-scale online game, of course daring to compete with Mr. Qin.

Chen Qiao naturally also knows he might lose everything, but so what!

This is the old-generation entrepreneur; they have more guts, more daring, and even... sometimes look a bit reckless, calling them "flat-headed brothers" is not an exaggeration.

As for this, Lu Yu...

felt it was pretty good.

He found himself somewhat being swept along by Chen Qiao.

Moreover... at the end of their call, Chen Qiao also said that Mr. Qin had invited him to attend a press conference.

Chen Qiao asked Lu Yu whether he wanted to go.

Lu Yu agreed.

He also wanted to see Mr. Qin in person, to see what kind of person he is.

Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.

The next day, Lu Yu came again to Mo Du University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Today Professor Chen came very early; the students had just arrived at the Computer Lab a moment ago, and he came over.

"Today, we will assign you the task, which is the second stage of this project."

"The difficulty should be higher than before."

"So, today's task, you can hand it in to me tomorrow."

Professor Chen stood on the podium and spoke to everyone.

The students all looked worried; the previous task had already exhausted them, and now... the difficulty actually had to be increased?

Professor Chen, however, paid no attention to that; his gaze fell on Lu Yu, and he said, "Lu Yu, you also have a task today; just look at the task list later yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll give you an easier task."

"Like them, you also have two days to complete it."

"Okay, Professor," Lu Yu replied naturally.

Then Professor Chen said a few more words and left the classroom.

The students then began to check their own tasks and tried to complete them.

……

Lu Yu opened the task list at his seat.

He quickly skimmed the requirements, and his brows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

It seems the project has truly entered a new stage; this task's difficulty is a level higher than yesterday's!

But...

After reading the requirements, Lu Yu opened the software and began writing code.

Half an hour later, he stretched, then submitted the task.

……

By ten-thirty, there was hardly any sound left in the computer lab.

Yes, at this point even few people were typing, and even those typing sounds were scattered.

Because...

What are the students doing?

They were all staring at the computer screens.

However... their expressions showed great pain, brows tightly furrowed, teeth almost biting through their lips.

They were all stumped!

This task is too difficult!

It almost exceeds their understanding.

No wonder Professor Chen gave them two days!

Then...

At some moment, for no apparent reason, all the students suddenly shifted their gaze.

They all looked toward Lu Yu!

What was Lu Yu doing then?

Lu Yu let out a big yawn, looking utterly bored.

That seemed... very boring?

So... Lu Yu had already finished his task?

Not surprising, right?

Didn't the professor just say that Lu Yu's assigned task was relatively simple?

Everyone knows Lu Yu's ability, so it's not unusual for him to finish the task?

Those thinking this, their minds became active.

Could it be, like yesterday, they could seek Lu Yu's help?
