"Ling Yuan, it's already been a year since we last met, hasn't it?" Just as he walked through the door, Han Yurou's mother, Yu Qianluo, expressed great surprise upon seeing Ling Yuan. "Hello, Auntie." Ling Yuan smiled. "Ling Yuan is here. Have a seat first, it'll be ready soon," Han Li poked his head out from the kitchen to say, then buried his head right back into working hard. "Uncle Han sure works hard..." Seeing this, Ling Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart that when he found a girlfriend in the future, she definitely had to know how to cook and be willing to cook for him. Wait. Why go looking for one? Didn't he already have a ready-made one right here? As long as he trained Ophis a little bit, it would be completely OK! Sitting in his seat, Ling Yuan couldn't help but think this. "Ling Yuan, which school have you prepared to go to for university?" As soon as she sat down, Auntie Yu asked. "As for university, I haven't considered it yet." What school was there to go to, all those rigid rules were troublesome to death. Wasn't it great to lie at home and occasionally visit other worlds to look at the scenery? "Why don't you and Yurou go to Modu University together?" Auntie Yu's pupils lit up, and she couldn't help saying. "Modu?" Modu University was one of the top transcendent universities in the Flame Nation. "I'll consider it." Auntie Yu wasn't in a rush. "If you've made up your mind, just let us know when the time comes. With your grades, little Ling, getting in is more than enough." Ling Yuan: "???" His grades? Weren't the grades not announced yet, how did they know? Oh, damned capital. "Ling Yuan, I heard Yurou say that you came specifically to see me today because you have something on your mind?" Uncle Han served the dishes onto the table, then sat down and looked at Ling Yuan curiously. "Yes, I made a game promotional video here and wanted to borrow your family's website to use it." "A game promotional video? You made it? Then I'll have to take a good look." "Stop, stop, stop, talk about work after eating." Auntie Yu directly interrupted. Hearing his own wife speak, Han Li chuckled awkwardly, and said to Ling Yuan, "Eat, let's eat first." Ling Yuan gave a wry smile. He understood everything. However, the dining table for the rest of the meal was torturous for Ling Yuan. He was constantly bombarded with questions, and they even asked if he had a girlfriend. What the heck? Could you matchmake one for me? After dinner. Ling Yuan and Han Li sat on the sofa. Han Yurou, who was off to the side, glanced at Ling Yuan from time to time. "Tell me, what on earth is the matter." "I came here, besides wanting you to help me upload the game promotional video, I also hope to be able to improve your family's website." "Oh? Ling Yuan, do you know what you're saying?" Upon hearing about improving the website, Han Li grew interested. "How about you listen to what I have to say first?" Ling Yuan didn't mind, remaining calm instead. Next, Ling Yuan explained Bilibili's layout. Bullet comments as well as various classified themes. He had looked at Han Li's platform; it simply streamed anime. Moreover, the anime produced was basically all small-budget, and the aspects that could attract people could almost be said to be very small. To be precise, it was cookie-cutter, and coupled with the fact that they were all small-budget anime productions, the upper limit was limited. Rather than this, more people would choose those comprehensive, large websites. If a small website wanted to attract people, it could only take an unconventional path. Furthermore, this website could be said to be the main platform for the source of Ling Yuan's game traffic later on, so he didn't mind throwing out an idea for Han Li. As for the so-called revenue sharing. No way, no way, you wouldn't really not know that the free ones are the most expensive ones, right? "A very novel idea." Han Li said after falling silent. "But the impact of bullet comments is also huge, disrupting the field of vision and blocking the screen. These are all problems." Ling Yuan, however, smiled relaxedly, "There's completely no need to worry about this. Watching the plot alone is always boring, looking at other comical remarks can also relax the mind." "And not everyone's understanding is the same; bullet comments can also achieve popular science." "This, indeed, but you have to let me think about it. Letting your game CG be uploaded is no problem, but changing the platform's style is a big deal, I have to discuss it with the others." Han Li said. "We can talk about this kind of thing later, Uncle Han, take a look at the CG I made." Ling Yuan looked at the deep-in-thought Han Li and smiled lightly. He opened his phone and handed it to Han Li. "This..." The moment he took it, that 3D modeling instantly stunned Han Li. Too exquisite! And that sky, what was the situation? It was simply just like the real thing. "Ling Yuan, did you make this?" Especially seeing the scene where the Imaginary Space batted all the artillery shells back, Han Li was completely dumbfounded. The motion handling had zero flaws, and everything flowed as smoothly as water. He completely couldn't imagine that this was special effects made by someone who had just graduated from high school; it could completely rank among the world's top! But Auntie Yu's expression beside Han Li changed. Inside, it actually turned out to be all female characters? In other words, there was a high possibility that Ling Yuan frequently hung out with a bunch of girls? This was bad. "Of course." Ling Yuan smiled. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he looked at Ling Yuan with an expression like looking at a son-in-law, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to thoroughly look forward to your team's game." At the same time, he was calculating in his mind that if he let Ling Yuan enter his own company, wouldn't he be able to break into a higher-level anime market? Ling Yuan smiled lightly. What team was there; there was only him alone. ... Chapter 22 Laxus Gradually Realizing Himself After Ling Yuan and Han Li refined the vision for Bilibili further, it was already very late. Auntie Yu wanted to have Ling Yuan stay over at their house for the night. But she was rejected by Ling Yuan. Compared to "living in an empty room" by himself here, wouldn't it be great to go back and hold Ophis while sleeping? In the end, after promising that he would come over as a guest frequently in the future, he left under Han Yurou's reluctant gaze. "Next is to find Wang Ming to register a studio. Hmm, authentic Mihoyo. As for Wang Ming, let's give him a planning position." Ling Yuan thought with playful mischief. "Alright, the next few days will be about trying to grind out Honkai." Ling Yuan walked alone on the street. The neon lights allowed this city to bloom with extremely beautiful scenery even at night. A gentle breeze blew past. Ling Yuan was attracted by the river scenery in front of him. White light spread out. Ophis jumped out on her own. She wanted Ling Yuan to lean together with her on the railing by the river, quietly looking into the distance. But what a pity, she couldn't reach... She could only press her face against the glass. Ling Yuan smiled softly and picked her up. He took a screenshot of the scenery on the surface of the sea. And sent it into the chat group. In an instant, the originally dormant chat group was detonated. Eighth Princess: "Such beautiful scenery, can it be this pretty even at night?" Katarina: "How nostalgic, just how long has it been since I last saw this picture." Maple: "So nice, I also really want to go play outside like the group owner big bro." Akame: "..." Black Pupil silently looked at the picture. Such a city, she yearned for it too, it's just... Looking at the biscuit candies in her hand, she gently bit into them. She closed the chat group.

Right now she didn't seem to have that qualification.

First Prince: "Please definitely give me one of these lighting things!"

Ren Kouen, who was reading books by lamplight, rubbed his eyes.

This candle flame hurt the eyes so much.

Ling Yuan: "@Ren Kouen, I'll hook you up with a solar-powered electric light when the time comes."

First Prince: "Deepest gratitude!"

After entering this chat group, Ren Kouen finally knew just how backward the world he was in really was.

Without the support of Metal Vessels and True Magic, once they encountered a modern world like the one Ling Yuan was in, they would suffer a miserable and lopsided defeat.

The evening breeze blew over, carrying away the fatigue.

"Xiao Fei, let's go home."

After admiring the view for a little while, Ling Yuan gently pulled Ophis into his arms and held her hand as they slowly walked toward his home.

The next day

Because of the system, Ling Yuan slept so punctually every night now.

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

the system directly knocked him out, followed by sleeping straight until dawn, requiring no self-control whatsoever.

Ding-dong!

At a little past nine in the morning—

the main door rang.

Ling Yuan opened the door and saw Wang Ming smiling as he greeted him.

"What are you plotting this time? You were still messaging me last night," Wang Ming said while changing his shoes.
