At one in the afternoon, netizens quickly noticed that Future Technology's official website had changed.

Besides the original sections, Future Technology's official website had added a Premium Courses section.

Some observant netizens also noticed that clicking the Intelligent Assistant download button no longer directly downloaded the mobile version. There was now an additional option—PC download!

For a time, netizens flooded the comments with complaints.

"Let me tell you a joke: the Intelligent Assistant PC version everyone had been waiting for at the launch was secretly put online after the launch ended."

"Hey, didn't you see the official Weibo? Future Technology's official Weibo has already released a statement. The Intelligent Assistant PC version goes online at one o'clock."

Yang Xu was a Network Engineering student at a little-known second-tier university.

After watching Future Technology's launch, Yang Xu immediately browsed Future Technology's official website. However, when he found that the content from the launch had not yet gone live, he refreshed Future Technology's website almost every ten minutes.

Once Future Technology's new website had been updated without downtime, Yang Xu immediately downloaded Taiji, the development tool for Han Language.

The Han Language development tool was only 500 MB. Compared to those development tools that started at one gigabyte or more, Taiji was definitely lightweight.

Unlike development tools for existing programming languages, Yang Xu found that installing Taiji was as simple as installing an ordinary program. There was no need to worry about configuring the development environment himself.

When Yang Xu saw the desktop popup informing him that Taiji had been installed successfully, he chose to click the red X in the upper-right corner instead of selecting Start Using Now.

After reopening Future Technology's official website, Yang Xu clicked the newly added Premium Courses section.

Yang Xu gave it a quick glance and saw roughly forty videos. However, it was not those videos that caught his attention, but the large headline at the top.

"Han Language: From Beginner to Burial"

Looking at those bright red words, Yang Xu cringed so hard it hurt.

But those words clearly could not stop Yang Xu's motivation to learn.

Why had he started learning right away? Wasn't it because he had seen that Han Language was an opportunity?

Right now, everyone was starting from the same point. If he did not fight for it now, was he supposed to wait until he regretted it?

That evening, Li Zhou took the company employees to a hotel in the county for a big meal before returning to the company.

At night, the people of Xia Country entered their nightlife, and Li Zhou was no exception.

Like others his age, Li Zhou was holding his phone and playing a battle royale game with his teammates.

"One on the roof across from us. Number Four, use the 98k and headshot him. Once he's down, we rush."

After hearing Number One's command, Li Zhou pulled out his 98k and fired at the level-two helmet bobbing up and down on the opposite rooftop!

"Down! Rush, rush, rush!"

Very quickly, the four of them charged toward the building across from them without hesitation.

Once they reached the ground floor, all four pulled out Molotov cocktails and blanketed the area.

Soon, Li Zhou received two kills and two assists.

A Molotov cocktail really was the ultimate weapon for storming buildings. It felt so damn good.

The four worked together perfectly and smoothly won the match!

At the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, wealthy tycoons had gathered together. How long had it been since they had last assembled like this?

In such a short period of time, another company had risen in that mysterious East and forced them to gather again.

More than a dozen true powerholders behind the IT industry had assembled in the small conference room.

"Why don't we cooperate with Future Technology? A win-win outcome is the goal of businessmen. As for countries, what does that have to do with us?"

Quite a few people nodded. Ferrelet out a cold laugh.

He projected a photograph onto the screen.

"Impossible. Take a look. My people took this photo outside Future Technology's entrance."

If Future Technology employees had seen the photo displayed on the conference room screen, they would have recognized the stainless steel plaque outside Future Technology's entrance.

Those large red words were simply too conspicuous in the photograph.

When they saw the plaque bearing the Eastern lion, everyone fell silent.

Until someone broke the silence.

"Then let's do it this way!"

Ferre looked at the departing crowd and could not help shaking his head. These people had already been frightened by the power from the East.

The next day, as soon as Li Zhou arrived at the company, he saw Wang Fei running toward him in a panic.

In contrast, Li Zhou was calmly peeling a tea egg he had bought from a breakfast shop.

Li Zhou took a bite of the egg and said indistinctly through his mouthful, "What's with all the shouting? Did the company go bankrupt, or did aliens invade Earth?"

Wang Fei took a breath before explaining the reason.

After listening to Wang Fei ramble for quite a while, Li Zhou only said, "Oh!"

Seeing her boss leave as if it were nothing, Wang Fei chased after him again.

Li Zhou suddenly turned around, and Wang Fei ran straight into him. Feeling that unusual softness, Li Zhou remained outwardly calm.

"Has Future Technology launched Intelligent Assistant in other language versions overseas?"

Wang Fei's face reddened. After hearing her boss's question, it took her a long while to react. How embarrassing!

"Ah, Boss, aren't we going to launch them later?"

"We will! Why wouldn't we? But definitely not now. Just wait. We aren't the ones who should be anxious."

Li Zhou shot Wang Fei a glance. Why was this girl acting so foolish today?

Watching her boss leave, Wang Fei returned to the chief executive officer's office in a daze.

As soon as Xiong Kexuan arrived at work, she saw Wang Fei sitting there in a daze.

After placing her daughter Xiao Nuonuo in the cradle beside her desk, Xiong Kexuan glanced at the distracted Wang Fei.

"What are you thinking about? Why do you look so dazed?"

"Just do as the boss said. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Wang Fei puffed out her cheeks and gave an "Oh."

Very soon, Future Technology's official Weibo posted a new message.
