Old Ideas Are Outdated

The battle ended in silence.

The clock had struck 12. The struggle for Tianmu Star had concluded. For the next year, this planet would still belong to the Tianmu Gang.

The 350 gaming experts, slightly bewildered, took off their headphones, shifted their gaze from the computer screens, and felt a slight sense of disorientation.

Was the previous battle intense?

Intense.

Was the scale large?

Very large. There were even tens of thousands of onlookers who specifically came here to watch this battle, and some people were live-streaming it on the forums.

Every one of us participated in this battle.

But what did we do? Thinking about it carefully, it seems like we didn't do anything.

There was no sense of participation, no sense of accomplishment, just a bit of blandness.

The experts weren't overly excited by this victory; instead, they felt a little down.

Is this what victory tastes like? Heh.

The experts silently got up and walked towards the door of the computer room.

At the door, Lü Yangsheng's face was full of barely suppressed excitement, beaming with joy. He shook hands with the departing gaming experts one by one, personally handing over the agreed-upon payment.

Only after receiving the money did the experts' moods recover a little.

Well, no matter what, the money was real.

"Thank you all for your hard work today! With everyone's joint efforts, Tianmu Star has been defended, and Tianmu Star is still ours!"

Sparse applause echoed in the hall.

In the hall, Lü Yangsheng held a microphone, his voice full of passion: "It's late now, so I won't say much more. I've booked the Yunguang Bar next door, so everyone can go and have fun! Rooms at the Yunguang Hotel have also been prepared for everyone!"

Hearing this, the experts' moods finally became enthusiastic again.

"Now, let's drink until we drop!"

After seeing off the experts, Lü Yangsheng looked at Han Yang: "Mr. Han, shall we go grab something to eat?"

At the celebration banquet, Lü Yangsheng was in high spirits, letting loose. Several expert representatives, the organizers of this battle, logistics personnel, company executives, and others also offered congratulations, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

After a few drinks, Lü Yangsheng became a little tipsy: "Speaking of this time, I really have to thank you, Mr. Han. It's a pity that your friend has social anxiety and doesn't want to come out and meet people, otherwise I really should have a couple of drinks with him and thank him properly.

Don't worry about the equipment you need, Mr. Han. I'll arrange for someone to coordinate it tomorrow, and it will be built for you in half a month at the latest, and then sent to you. All expenses will be waived."

Han Yang's heart finally settled.

What was all this hard work for? Wasn't it for this?

Lü Yangsheng eventually got drunk and stubbornly insisted on personally calling the boss of Revival Game Studio to express his gratitude. Han Yang repeatedly tried to decline but couldn't.

There was nothing else for it, Han Yang could only operate the computer in the core area of Fuxing Base, using a network calling software, choosing a slightly shy and introverted voice, and dealing with Lü Yangsheng by saying a few words, claiming that Han Yang was a close friend with whom he had a life-or-death bond, and that everything could be handled through Han Yang. Only then did he manage to appease Lü Yangsheng.

After the celebration banquet ended, Lü Yangsheng still held onto Han Yang, unwilling to leave. Han Yang had no choice but to stay and continue listening to him ramble.

As Lü Yangsheng talked, he even started crying.

"Brother, I feel terrible."

Lü Yangsheng sobbed: "My old man is getting old and has handed the company over to me. I'm constantly on edge, not daring to relax for a moment, just afraid that the company will be ruined in my hands.

Things are different now than before. Now the Ita are in power. If we don't have a good relationship with the Ita, the company won't be able to operate. I've racked my brains trying to build relationships with the Ita.

Do you really think I like playing games that much? Bullshit! I just play casually when I'm bored; where do I have so much time to spend on games? I'd rather play with two young models in that time! Speaking of which, isn't it all for the sake of building relationships with the Ita?

Morpheus from the Earth Industrial Committee also likes to play games. Tell me, isn't this game an opportunity to get closer to him?

Do you think I can't seize this opportunity?

My old man doesn't understand. He still has that old-fashioned thinking, always believing that as long as we do our own work well, provide good service, improve quality, and lower prices, our business will grow.

But times have changed, it's not like before, that old method doesn't work anymore!

A standard set by someone from the Earth Industrial Committee can bankrupt my family! A random rating can make my family rich! Do you think I can afford not to build relationships?

My family's factory has tens of thousands of workers. If my family's factory goes bankrupt, who will pay them and support them? I'm afraid by then, all these people will have to go to the slums!

I've humbled myself, racked my brains to curry favor with Morpheus, even a prostitute isn't as shameless as me, I feel so bitter! My old man still doesn't understand me, he's always hitting or scolding me, woo woo woo..."

Lü Yangsheng cried, snot and tears streaming down his face, pouring out his grievances, until Han Yang and the company's vice president escorted him to his room. He was still shouting that he wasn't drunk and wanted to drink more.

After settling Lü Yangsheng, Han Yang returned to his own room.

Lü Yangsheng was indeed wealthy and powerful; the room he arranged was considered top-notch in this city. The huge floor-to-ceiling window opened, and the city's night view came into full view.

Under the night sky, countless neon lights flickered. Countless vehicles shuttled on the roads, and numerous flying cars zipped back and forth in the sky.

The city exuded an atmosphere of prosperity, wealth, and tranquility.

Han Yang stared blankly at the city's night view, his expression calm as still water, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a long time, Han Yang pulled the curtains shut, threw off his clothes, and rolled onto the bed, muttering, "Sleep."

He woke up the next day to another beautiful day. Han Yang didn't stay in this city for long. He directly finalized the detailed parameters of the equipment he needed with the vice president of Lü's Industrial Group, agreed on a time, and then hurried back to the Fuxing Base in Da Jiang City's Vegetable Market District.

After being away for a few days, everything here remained unchanged. The 100 computers were still working tirelessly, and a massive amount of cash continued to flow in.

The equipment issue was finally settled; all that was left was to wait for it to be shipped over in a while. Next, the matter of learning needed to be addressed.

Self-study and seeking urgent help from experts like Zhang Dong could not be abandoned. Gathering numerous experts and professors from various fields and disciplines for systematic foundational learning also could not be abandoned.

At this moment, the online learning website Han Yang was preparing had been successfully registered, and the cloud server, website architecture, and other aspects were also resolved.

"In the initial stage, let's first invite Professor Zhang Dong and a few others to join. Invite them to create some teaching videos, and then, with them as the core, slowly invite people around them to join. Anyway, they work at the university, and their colleagues are all experts."
