"Ling Yuan, it's been a year since we last saw each other, hasn't it?" Han Yurou's mother, Yu Qianluo, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ling Yuan as soon as he entered the house.

"Hello, Auntie," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

"Ah, Ling Yuan's here. Have a seat, dinner will be ready soon," Han Li called out from the kitchen, poking his head out before returning to his cooking.

"Uncle Han, you're working so hard..." Ling Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he saw this.

At the same time, he made a decision: in the future, he would definitely find a girlfriend who could cook and was willing to cook for him.

Wait a minute.

Why look for one? He already had one right here.

If he just trained Ophis a little, she'd be perfectly fine!

Ling Yuan thought to himself, sitting in his seat.

"Ling Yuan, have you decided which university you want to go to?" Aunt Yu asked as soon as he sat down.

"University? I haven't really thought about it yet."

Why go to school? All those rules and regulations were so annoying.

Wouldn't it be better to just relax at home and occasionally visit other worlds for sightseeing?

"Why don't you and Yurou go to Modu University?" Aunt Yu's eyes lit up as she suggested.

"Modu?"

Modu University was one of the top extraordinary universities in Yan Country.

"I'll consider it."

Aunt Yu wasn't in a hurry. "If you make up your mind, just let us know. With your grades, Ling, getting in is more than enough."

Ling Yuan: "???"

His grades? They hadn't even been announced yet, how did they know?

Ah, damn capitalism.

"Ling Yuan, Yurou mentioned you came today specifically to talk to me about something?" Uncle Han asked, placing the dishes on the table before sitting down.

"Yes, I've made a game promotional video and wanted to use your family's website."

"A game promotional video? You made it? Then I'd really like to see it."

"Hold on, hold on. Let's talk about work after dinner," Aunt Yu interrupted.

Hearing his wife's words, Han Li chuckled sheepishly and said to Ling Yuan, "Eat, let's eat first."

Ling Yuan smiled faintly.

He understood.

However, the dinner table turned out to be quite difficult for Ling Yuan.

He was constantly bombarded with questions, even asked if he had a girlfriend.

What, are you going to find me one?

After dinner...

Ling Yuan and Han Li sat on the sofa.

Han Yurou, sitting nearby, kept glancing at Ling Yuan.

"Alright, tell me, what's this about?"

"I'm here not only to ask for your help in uploading the game promotional video but also to suggest improvements for your website."

"Oh? Ling Yuan, do you know what you're saying?" Han Li's interest was piqued upon hearing about website improvements.

"Why don't you hear me out first?" Ling Yuan didn't seem bothered, remaining calm.

Next, Ling Yuan explained the layout of Bilibili.

Bullet comments and various category themes.

He had seen Han Li's platform; it was purely for anime screenings.

And most of the content produced were low-budget anime, with very little that could truly attract people.

To be precise, it was monotonous. Coupled with the low-budget anime, the ceiling was limited.

Instead of this, more people would choose the comprehensive large websites.

For a small website to attract people, it had to find a unique path.

Moreover, this website would be the main platform for Ling Yuan's game traffic in the future, so he didn't mind offering Han Li some ideas.

As for the so-called revenue sharing.

No way, no way, you don't actually think that free is the most expensive, do you?

"A very novel idea," Han Li said after a moment of silence.

"But the impact of bullet comments is also significant. They can disrupt the view and obscure the screen; these are all problems."

Ling Yuan gave a relaxed smile. "There's absolutely no need to worry about that. Watching the plot alone can be boring, but seeing other funny comments can also help relax your mind."

"Besides, not everyone's understanding is the same. The bullet comments can also serve as a form of popular science."

"That's true, but let me think. Uploading your game CG is no problem, but changing the platform's style is a big deal. I'll need to discuss it with others," Han Li said.

"We can talk about that later, Uncle Han. Take a look at the CG I made." Ling Yuan smiled faintly as he looked at Han Li, who was deep in thought.

He opened his phone and handed it to Han Li.

"This..."

The moment Han Li took it, the modeling instantly stunned him.

It was too exquisite! And that sky, what was going on? It looked just like the real thing.

"Ling Yuan, you made this?"

Especially when he saw the scene where the void space sent all the cannonballs back, Han Li was completely bewildered.

The motion processing was flawless, and everything flowed like water.

He couldn't imagine that these special effects were made by someone who had just graduated from high school; they could easily rank among the world's best!

But the aunt next to Han Li, Yu Yi, her expression changed.

Were there only female characters inside?

This meant that Ling Yuan likely spent a lot of time with a bunch of girls?

This was not good.

"Of course," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

Suppressing his inner shock, he looked at Ling Yuan with an expression like he was looking at a son-in-law. "In that case, I'll be looking forward to your team's game."

At the same time, he was calculating in his mind, if he could bring Ling Yuan into his company, wouldn't he be able to enter the higher-tier anime market?

Ling Yuan chuckled.

What team? It was just him, standing alone.

Chapter 22: Laxus Gradually Realizes Himself

Afterward, Ling Yuan and Han Li further refined their ideas for Bilibili, and it was already very late.

Aunt Yu wanted Ling Yuan to stay the night.

But Ling Yuan refused.

Compared to being alone and 'guarding an empty room,' wasn't it better to go back and sleep with Ophis?

Finally, after promising that he would visit often, he left under the reluctant gaze of Han Yurou.

"Next, I need to find Wang Ming to register a studio. Hmm, a genuine miHoYo. For Wang Ming, I'll give him a planner role," Ling Yuan thought with a touch of mischief.

"Alright, for the next few days, I'll try to grind out Honkai."

Ling Yuan walked alone on the street.

The neon lights made the city bloom with an extremely beautiful scenery even at night.

A gentle breeze blew.

Ling Yuan was attracted by the river view in front of him.

A white light spread out.

Ophis jumped out on her own. She wanted Ling Yuan to lean on the railing by the river with her and quietly look into the distance.

But unfortunately, she couldn't reach...

She could only press her face against the glass.

Ling Yuan smiled gently and picked her up.

He took a screenshot of the scenery on the sea surface.

And sent it into the group chat.

In an instant, the previously silent group chat exploded.

Eighth Princess: "What a beautiful view. Is it this pretty even at night?"

Katarina: "It's so nostalgic. How long has it been since I last saw this scene?"

Maple: "That's nice. I wish I could go out and play like the Group Owner too."

Akame: "..."

Black Pupil silently looked at the image.

She also yearned for a city like this, but...

Looking at the cookie in her hand, she took a gentle bite.

She closed the group chat.

She doesn't seem to have that qualification anymore.

First Prince: "Please, you must give me one of these lighting devices!"

Ren Kouen, who was reading by candlelight, rubbed his eyes.

This candlelight is so harsh on the eyes.

Ling Yuan: "@Ren Kouen, I'll get you a solar-powered electric lamp later."

First Prince: "I'm eternally grateful!"

After joining this group chat, Ren Kouen realized just how backward his world was.

Without the support of Metal Vessels and magic, if they encountered a modern world like Ling Yuan's, they would be utterly crushed.

The evening breeze blew, carrying away the fatigue.

"Xiao Fei, let's go home."

After admiring the view for a while, Ling Yuan gently held Ophis in his arms and slowly walked towards his home, holding her hand.

The next day

Thanks to the System, Ling Yuan's sleep schedule was incredibly punctual every night.

When he lay down in bed early, ready to play on his phone for a bit.

The System would directly knock him out, and he'd sleep until morning, requiring no self-discipline at all.

Ding dong!

Around nine in the morning

The doorbell rang.

Ling Yuan opened the door and saw Wang Ming smiling and greeting him.

"What do you want this time? You messaged me last night too," Wang Ming said as he changed clothes.
