~13 min read 2,580 words

"Right, that's right, this one doesn't matter."

Luyingying breathed a sigh of relief; luckily it's not a base of their country.

"Do you still remember which country's base it was?"

"There are many, and there are data; wait a moment."

Su Yu said it in a flash, and Luyingying watched her pull a box from beside her bookshelf; inside were a bunch of hard drives, and she took out one hard drive with a blue label.

"They're all right here."

"Why didn't you hand it over back then?"

Su Yu tilted her head, "You never said you needed it? The correct data are right there; you could call it a nanny‑level tutorial. If I gave you these useless data, I'd definitely be scolded by my peers!"

Having to go through the entire solution process for the correct answer, then also having to eliminate all wrong answers, and then have someone recompute it again— isn't that just making trouble for people?

Even though they know it's a mud pit, they still force people to roll around in it. Even if they give overtime pay, everyone feels uneasy.

Spending resources on ineffective work—aside from tormenting people, what's the point?

Su Yu muttered a string of complaints, and Luyingying's face was full of an awkward grin, "That's the procedure!"

Luyingying uploaded the hard drive and waited for a reply.

Su Yu continued her daily work!

【So slow. If the Holographic Online Game went live, I wouldn't even know how much I could earn, especially the exclusive kind! In the short term, no one can crack my data unless the officials step in to help steal it.】

Wulongcha is also looking forward to it, 【It'll definitely explode! It's just the procedure that's too slow!】

【On the bright side, we don't have to pay for testing, nor worry about using live humans for tests.】

【Hmm hmm!】

Wulongcha went over there to investigate the test records and videos; the cats, dogs, pigs and other animals involved in the test were all purchased, and there were no issues. Humans were sourced from death row inmates, which is far better than those testing methods abroad.

……

"It's so soft, I'm really troubling you this time."

"No trouble, at least you're over eighteen; your parents and relatives have no right to take you away, so don't worry. Next door is a laboratory; I've arranged it according to what your family set up. If anything's missing, just tell me.

You can continue developing your career; with financial independence you have a voice! If you need a lawyer, you can come to me; our family's legal department is pretty idle and would love to earn some side income~"

Tang Can had tears on her face, "Alright!"

"You rest first!"

Su Yu courteously stepped back, closed the door, and left the villa that was set aside for receiving guests.

【Fortunately, Can Can hadn't stood out commercially before; otherwise, moving her household registration wouldn't be that easy. Whether it's her father or her mother, neither would let her go easily. She would be trapped in the Tang Family, becoming a pawn in their power struggle.】

Wulongcha wasn't surprised, 【Her father and mother ran out of money due to a bad decision; regardless of whether she has money, they will scheme against her. Just look at Tang Tang; unless Tang Can helps them solve the problem, they will keep pressuring Tang Tang and Tang Can.】

There is some warmth in the Tang Family, but not much. Tang Tang returned the assets the Tang Family gave her, principal and interest included; the Tang Family was dissatisfied, calling the unhelpful Tang Tang a white‑eyed wolf! She clearly holds power in the Ren Family, yet refuses to support her natal home.

Wulongcha and Su Yu are well aware of Tang Tang's situation. Although she holds authority, she only receives a fixed salary plus bonuses. The real shares are in the hands of the Ren family. Tang Tang's children all have shares, but she does not.

She returned all the assets under her name to the Tang Family, and the Ren side had strong opinions. Tang Tang's children even complained, saying she doesn't love them, only loves her natal home.

The two elders of the Ren family and her husband Ren Tiandu Ming said nothing on the surface, but the two children could tell, surely taught by the adults.

Tang Tang's recent life has truly been steeped in bitterness.

【Fortunately, Can Can has money, doesn't live in the Tang Family, doesn't need their support, and thus has the confidence to confront them openly.】

Tang Can's social media account, by riding various Hot Searches and the funds invested by Su Yu and Liang Yan, has already gained a modest scale.

Following Liang Yan's suggestion, Tang Can collaborated with the veterinarian in her dog‑themed amusement park to promote various dog foods and medicines tailored by pet doctors for different breeds and tastes.

Liang Yan's dog park took the opportunity to advertise toys, chew sticks, shower gels and other items.

The pet market is huge, and companies like Liang Yan's, which have professional veterinarians, are highly trusted by consumers.

Especially after becoming a member of the dog park, you get several free consultation sessions. For minor issues, the doctor can answer online and give advice.

Tang Can and Liang Yan both made a lot of money. Zhu Xueheng was proud of Liang Yan and invited his wife and children to travel abroad to celebrate.

When he celebrated, everyone in the circle found out, including the cash‑strapped Tang Family.

The money Tang Tang gave covered the economic loss caused by the bad decision, with some surplus left. However, the remaining amount wasn't enough for the Tang Family to fund a new profit‑making project. So they turned to Tang Can.

From Tang Tang, Tang Can's family came up with a good plan. Marry Tang Can off; any assets she gains before and after marriage will belong to her natal family.

At the same time, they would gain another in‑law as a partner, another investment, and an extra layer of security for the new project! This multi‑benefit move excited the entire Tang Family. Meanwhile, Tang Can's mother was having all sorts of misfortunes abroad. She sought money to develop overseas, but it was very difficult.

She saw Tang Can's progress and wanted to buy shares in Tang Can's business. After discovering the Tang Family's mistake, she placed an order at a detective agency, and soon learned of the Tang Family's plans for Tang Can.

Tang Can's mother was very displeased upon learning this! Her daughter had been following her at the time! The Tang Family doesn't cherish those illegitimate children, so why not let an illegitimate child marry, causing trouble for her daughter? Tang Can originally followed her, and only she could use Tang Can's money! Tang Can's mother hurried back to the country, pressured Tang Can to agree to her investment, to manage Tang Can's business, and at the same time stop Tang Can's father's family from swindling her money! She also found another fiancé for Tang Can!

Tang Can was forced by her parents to marry. Fortunately, she lives in Yan Le Yuan in Qingshan District; her grandfather and father can't get in, and her grandmother and mother need appointments to enter the community, not even knowing which building she lives in.

But they have people hang banners and post big notices at the Yan Le Yuan community entrance, paying information fees to anyone who provides her address. Tang Can knows that sooner or later someone will be lured by the money, leak her information, and lead people to her doorstep.

Tang Can, having no other way, cried and begged Su Yu to help her, taking her out of Yan Le Yuan.

Su Yu asked Ji Yan to wait for Tang Can when she returns home, hide her in the car, and bring her back to the Su Family.

Later she even arranged for Tang Can to stay in the villa where Luyingying and her group live. Luyingying's group is very self‑sufficient and dislikes others intruding on their space, so normally, aside from Luyingying and the Su family, no other servants may enter the villa.

Now that Tang Can is added, Su Yu believes Luyingying and Zhaoshizhe won't object. Both of them have average skin, so if Tang Can is willing to help with their skincare, she should quickly become familiar. Leaving the villa, Su Yu returned to work on her new game project—Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance.

【I really hope they can pass the review quickly, otherwise they'll only get most of the benefits, and the rest will just be watched being taken by others.】

The state encourages promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance, and the Su Family is qualified to participate. Their game can be featured on the official largest platform's live broadcast program.

Su Yu must quickly recreate in the game the items given by those Intangible Cultural Heritage artisans, while also monitoring the progress and quality of the prizes she specially set up.

When promoting Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance, martial‑arts projects were brought up again, and with the push for nationwide fitness, Intangible Cultural Heritage practitioners of martial arts also rode this favorable wind.

Su Yu's game can incorporate martial‑arts elements, but the effect is poor; compared with the Holographic Online Game, it's a world apart.

【If you don't tell them that the Holographic Online Game can also train mental power? The stronger their mental power, the better their physical condition, and the more advantage they have in the game!】

【No, I can't explain clearly how I know this thing can train mental power.】

Wulongcha was in a bad mood, 【Too troublesome!】

"Trouble begets trouble, but I'm still safe. If I were abroad, I'd have been locked up and used as a tool long ago."

"Exactly!"

Wulongcha goes into work mode, assisting Su Yu with modeling, setting game scenarios, and hunting bugs.

Thanks to Su Yu's effort, the new Intangible Cultural Heritage module app has launched again!

This time Su Yu didn't open a public test; instead she posted an announcement, explaining the rules in detail, and posted all the prizes she designed on the social‑media account.

【Personnel lacking money】: Princess Tai is generous, gold jewelry, I'm here!

【NPC not alive】: Is this real? I see in the simultaneously online showcase the most valuable items are worth tens of thousands! Items worth tens of thousands, just given away? 【I owe the world】: Just this little stuff, not even enough to fill a tooth gap, must have already been taken by robots, right?

【Five kills godlike】: I can, when will the version update? Release an announcement quickly! …

Most netizens are looking forward to it. The prizes Su Yu set: the top three who complete the Intangible Cultural Heritage inheritance tasks and are recognized by the heritage teachers can receive gifts worth between 30,000 and 3,000.

The gifts are purchased by the game studio from the heritage teachers and placed into the prize pool; the gifts obtained after completing various Intangible Cultural Heritage skill tasks are all related to the skill of that task.

The top hundred task completers who have spent up to the fixed amount can draw from the game pool worth 1,000–100.

The top hundred who complete the task but whose spending doesn't reach the fixed amount can only draw from the pool worth 100–10.

Later task completers who meet the spending threshold can draw from the 100–10 pool; others draw from the 1–10 pool, which also contains some virtual products.

Players can, according to their needs, choose to draw from the dedicated Intangible Cultural Heritage skill lottery pool or the mixed activity pool.

Besides the lottery, the game also launched a showcase feature displaying various items made by Intangible Cultural Heritage skills. Some are bought by people Su Yu sent to purchase from heritage inheritors, others are sold directly by the heritage teachers.

To protect both parties' rights, whether buyer or seller, a packing/unpacking video must be recorded; only then can the item be returned or exchanged, otherwise no refund.

The party at fault bears the consequences.

…

The game's prizes are so tempting that download numbers surged, and major social media are full of people asking for the full process and answers of the Intangible Cultural Heritage skills; the learning atmosphere is very strong! 【Study every day】: I suspect Su Yu set this up on purpose, ah, you can't finish the tasks in a day, do we have to rush through them by speed? 【I'm fed up】: Nickname reflects mood. Why does the refreshed question bank differ each time! Why is it different?!

【Tired and want to sleep】: Before starting: I must get first place. After doing questions: seems being in the top hundred is okay. Now: exhausted, I'm doomed to copy answers, where are the answers? This side needs feeding! 【Rich lady doesn't lack money】: I'm different; I've spent money to buy everything, ready to receive the goods~

…

The game went viral; everyone's anticipation for the official platform's interview program with the heritage inheritors reached its peak.

Everyone wants to know, what's the answer? How to pass? The interview program features the question setters, so they can always look at the bullet comments to help answer them, right?

Netizens are enthusiastic, and the officials are happy! Originally they only planned to select a few people for Q&A on the show, but seeing this hype they increased the budget and will interview all the heritage inheritors invited by Su Yu's game.

To show sincerity, Su Yu voluntarily took on the VFX team's work, freely assisting the official VFX team to create effects so that each heritage skill inheritor can have a unique flair when appearing! Under Su Yu's hard work, the interview program officially began.

Su Yu, exhausted, lies on a small bed, listening to the opening ceremony sounds! The first to appear is naturally a hanfu wearer! This time the heritage skill inheritor appears in bright formal attire, while the virtual Projection beside them dances a Tang dance, leaving the audience both delighted and puzzled.

Why aren't the two wearing clothes from the same era? The second to appear is a heritage skill inheritor who specializes in making jewelry. He excels at filigree work, and various beautiful cute ornaments float beside him.

The third to appear is the Cloud Brocade inheritor. He brings some silk fabrics used by ancient nobles. Virtual men and women in gorgeous ancient costumes showcase the properties of the fabrics from various angles! …

The interview program ran as long as Su Yu lay down. Only after the interview ended did she drag her weary body home.

When Su Yu got home, Su Yi had already returned home.

"Dad, you came home so early?"

【Wulongcha, Mom, are you home?】

"Hmm, your game is great! Really great!"

Su Yi looks at the soaring download numbers; he almost howls like a wolf!

"Mm-hmm!"

【You had to tell me, I already knew!】

Su Yi is speechless for a moment.

"Have you considered releasing another new game alongside it, and if it also blows up, just launch it!"

"No, I need to rest!"

【Even the production team's donkey can't be used like this, Dad is really annoying!】

Su Yu goes straight upstairs, leaving Su Yi in the living room holding his plan and sighing! Thanks to the darlings for voting~ Good night, darlings~
