After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 302 End of the Semester (Career)
"With Pei Danqing's family being so powerful, won't I be bullied by her in the future?"

Chi Linyue asked.

A romantic relationship between a man and a woman is not just a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families.

If one family is much more powerful, then the other family can't speak as loudly.

When they got to Xu Lin, new problems arose.

Because what he's dealing with here isn't a game between men and women within families, but rather a game between women themselves, and the potential game between their two families.

Pei Danqing's family is far more powerful than Chi Linyue's.

"Isn't that right here? What are you bullying me for?"

Xu Lin was somewhat amused and exasperated: "I'm not trying to create a royal family."

"If things continue like this, you'll become a large family in the future. What if my child gets bullied by this Pei Danqing?"

Why did we get so far off topic?

"That's not going off on a tangent. From what I've seen and heard, let alone how many wives a family has, even how many children a mother has, the property has to be divided. If it really comes to that, even brothers might fight each other."

Chi Linyue: "Human nature is to seek profit and avoid harm. Whether it is the world above or ordinary people, when it comes to interests, blood ties are not reliable. It is not uncommon for a son to kill his own father."

"I haven't really thought about this. Let's talk about it later."

On the other hand, if Pei Danqing could bully Chi Linyue...

Wouldn't Ning Yuhan and the others be bullied even more?

But Xu Lin didn't want to think about such complicated issues. He only had a few women, and he hoped that they would get to know each other and live in harmony. As for their children, he hoped they would also grow up in harmony and not be corrupted by those messy things.

"Thinking that far ahead is useless; let's do something interesting."

"what?"

Chi Linyue was puzzled.

But she quickly understood what Xu Lin was going to do, because Xu Lin patted her bottom.

Chi Linyue understood immediately.

Xu Lin had her lean against the back of the sofa, while he got off the sofa and stood behind her.

"Didn't you have enough fun with Pei Danqing last night?" Chi Linyue teased.

"That's not enough. You know me. In a few more days, after I finish my exams, I'll probably go home and have other things to do. We might not see each other again until after the New Year."

"Then you'd better get things done tonight!"

Chi Linyue was displeased upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied, you horny woman!"

"What 'lustful woman'? Hmph, forget it, I'm not going to bother with you!"

Chi Linyue also felt that she was a woman with desires, but she thought it was a normal need, she was just more open about it.

She can be as carefree as she wants, and besides, doesn't Xu Lin like it too?

So, at this moment, she has already raised her big moon high.

She looked incredibly tempting.

Even a female demon is nothing special.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Lin felt his blood boil.

The older sister is so good at this.

"how is she?"

"Who?"

"Still asking! That Pei Danqing!"

"She's alright, but she's not very outgoing. She's quite serious in real life."

"So, am I better, or is she better?"

"Everyone has his own merits."

"I don't want to hear this, you little brat. Say something you can listen to."

"To be honest, you are the best. You can satisfy me in every way. You are versatile, charming, and can handle any style."

"Humph!"

Even older sisters need emotional support.

Chi Linyue then said coquettishly, "Hurry up, I can't wait!"

"coming!"

They were still very active tonight, staying up until after 2 a.m.

The reason it started so early this time was because the two of them had just started after dark.

Chi Linyue was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep after taking a quick shower.

The next day, the 4th.

In the morning, Xu Lin drove Chi Linyue to work, and then returned to the duplex to handle some work briefly.

The new game was released three days and one night ago, what's the situation now?

Xu Lin took a look.

Number of buyers: 53698523!
With over 50 million users and a game price of 100 yuan, the sales revenue exceeded 5.3 billion yuan.

It's only been three days.

It's clearly far from its limit.

Xu Lin is nothing compared to this.
Although "Give Love" is a global market, Xu Lin has only opened up the domestic market so far. But you are a game from the old era, and I am a game from the new era. Moreover, my game has no competitors. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the number of people buying Xu Lin's game is far from reaching its limit.

"Although the growth rate of character purchases has slowed down now, the number of people will most likely exceed 100 million by the end of this month."

"We need to add more servers."

Xu Lin dialed the phone number of Alibaba Cloud service provider directly.

Knowing that it was Mr. Xu again, the customer service staff confirmed the call and ultimately transferred it to a senior executive of Alibaba Cloud.

This time, Xu Lin increased the number of Shenlong cloud servers from the original three thousand to ten thousand.

Ten thousand servers would cost 42.84 billion yuan in rent per year, or 3.57 million yuan per month.

However, Xu Lin offers a significant discount: the total price for one month is only 200 million, which is a direct 150 million discount.

It's hard to say whether Alibaba suffered losses.

However, business people are willing to invest; exchanging small short-term investments for huge long-term value is clearly a worthwhile approach.

This long-term value doesn't refer to Xu Lin buying the server, but rather to the potential for deeper cooperation in the future.

Alibaba is very keen to cooperate with Xu Lin.

After all, no other company can find a way to cooperate with Xu Lin right now, so only they have made the contact.

Xu Lin thought 200 million a month was pretty good and had a good impression of Alibaba.

This is also the last time he will add domestic servers to this game. Opening up overseas markets later is a matter for overseas markets.

After getting the servers sorted out, Xu Lin posted a Weibo message: "We are currently preparing to add 7,000 cloud servers."

This is about the server issue; it's just a brief announcement on Weibo.

"Young Master Xu, when will the game store be launched? By the way, does this game have a store? The previous game did."

"There should be, it's just that Young Master Xu hasn't updated it yet."

"Please update it quickly. This game is so amazing, and it's only a hundred yuan. I'm even thinking of contributing more money to this game, otherwise I'm afraid Mr. Xu won't have enough money to develop it."

"If you open an online store, could you please list some high-priced items? Otherwise, how am I supposed to spend all the pocket money I have with three million a month? How am I supposed to differentiate myself from the poor?"

"When will the foreign market be opened? Who understands the pain of having children abroad? We can't play this game at all; we can only watch the live stream and quench our thirst."

"It's all over the world now. It's all over major social media platforms abroad. Not to mention the big ones, the entire gaming industry is looking forward to Mr. Xu opening up the overseas market."

Xu Lin hadn't actually read the netizens' comments.

He still has two Weibo posts left to share, one of which is about the overseas market.

We definitely need to open up overseas markets, otherwise how can we make money quickly?
After all, if all goes well, he will be able to train his own artificial intelligence next year.

As for the private island, the underground base is already ready, and the final payment is over a billion.

In addition, Xu Lin plans to invest tens or hundreds of billions of yuan in the construction of the island in the first half of this year.

In this way, it can no longer be described as spending money like water; it's not water, it's a massive flood of spending.

Therefore, Xu Lin definitely needs to open up overseas markets to make money.

For example, in the North American market, this game sells for 100 yuan in China. As we all know, the exchange rate between RMB and USD is about 7.

100 yuan is less than 14 US dollars.

My game sells for less than $14 in North America?
What a joke.

This 100 yuan is a benefit I'm giving to my fellow countrymen, but you foreigners must be treated with the highest respect. It's a uniform 100 dollars in Europe and America, and the in-game store spending is also increased by 100%.

With no competitors, you can do whatever you want, play or not play as you please.

Furthermore, starting from the Opium War, these foreign powers have taken too much from China.

As the ancients said, a gentleman takes revenge from morning till night.

Xu Lin had this attitude. "But I was too naive. If this game is to enter the European and American markets, the politicians there will make me hand over the technology, and the capitalists will demand that I share the profits. Otherwise, they won't let me in. They can't help but be envious."

North America is a major consumer country with incredibly high purchasing power; otherwise, why would products from all over the world be shipped there? It's because their purchasing power is so strong.

As long as one can enter this market, like Xu Lin who is the only one who can make games, then he will have an absolute monopoly on the product and will make a fortune.

However, there are also too many practical obstacles, so things only go smoothly in China.

It's a completely different concept abroad.

"Forget it, I'll think about this after the New Year."

Weibo post 1: The overseas market is yet to be determined. I currently have no plans to enter the overseas market.

Many Chinese people abroad, or even foreigners, immediately erupted in lamentation.

Xu Lin's Weibo account still attracts a lot of attention, both domestically and internationally, and people even use VPNs to access it.

He's a big star now, and a lot of people are watching him.

Starting with "The Man's Guide to Success," Xu Lin's games have already caused a sensation around the world. After all, Xu Lin's previous papers were all theoretical and had no practical application, so apart from people in academia, they wouldn't attract much attention from others.

But when Xu Lin's game came out, people realized it wasn't the same thing; Young Master Xu's actions were far too exaggerated.

But "Men's Guide to Success" was still relatively easy to handle. Now that the second game has been released, the technologically advanced Western world is completely unsettled.

It is important to understand that over the past century or so, the West has been the primary force driving progress in human civilization, including science, politics, economics, and thought.

In particular, technological advancements have been largely driven by the West.

But now, the person who is starting to drive technological progress has clearly appeared in the East, and that person is this young master Xu.

After Chinese players bought the game, some livestreamers immediately started streaming on various domestic platforms, and within a few days, they had received countless gifts.

Seeing the potential for profit, a large number of people have been streaming the game "Immortal" on various platforms in the past few days, attracting even more attention than the previous Black Myth: Wukong.

Those with connections don't compete with other streamers domestically; instead, they stream on YouTube overseas.

YouTube has over 2.7 billion monthly active users, and due to the platform's mechanisms, there are very few bots, so they are mostly real users. It's a global platform, used by people in every country.

This group of domestic livestreamers who went abroad to broadcast live were the first to reap the benefits of YouTube. The money they earned in just three days was enough to buy a house in a first-tier city outright and with a high-end renovation, which directly changed their lives.

Of course, with their live streams as a means of dissemination, a large number of foreigners learned about this truly groundbreaking masterpiece.

As time went on, more and more people learned about Mr. Xu's second game, and the news caused a sensation in many countries.

However, many people also believe the news is false, since information barriers objectively exist.

Of course, the officials definitely know it's true; they're not stupid.

Therefore, Xu Lin's Weibo account is also being watched by many people with foreign political backgrounds who are constantly monitoring his activities, including spies.

Weibo post #2: I went to Beijing during the New Year holiday and made some important plans with the government. The Moon Goddess System will be implemented to a certain extent. So, developers, do you understand what I mean?

This is a settled matter; the Moon Goddess System will become a very important system for the nation.

Since it's important, then you developers will have a chance to shine.

Of course, you need to know Mr. Xu's Chinese programming skills.

If Xu Lin wants to build up the ecosystem, he needs the efforts of these developers; otherwise, he couldn't possibly build such a massive ecosystem in just one month.

This Weibo post is quite significant. In fact, since yesterday, the 3rd, rumors have been circulating in Beijing that Young Master Xu's Moon Goddess System is about to be launched, but only on a small scale, which is equivalent to testing.

However, without official confirmation, those who see this claim cannot determine whether it is true or false.

Now, with Xu Lin confirming it on Weibo, people have realized that it's really coming.

"It's actually true! Young Master Xu's system is about to take off?"

"I said before that this system was bound to take off because it is completely independent of the English programming system and the system is very powerful. It can't stay a niche system forever. Now that the country has given its approval, maybe in three to five years, it will become the mainstream system in China."

"Mainstream? Surely not. Windows has such a huge market share, how could it possibly replace it? Does 'mainstream' mean 'replace'?"

"This has little to do with the market. Before the steam engine came out, manual labor was the mainstream, right? But after the steam engine came out, although manual labor still existed and hasn't been eliminated to this day, the steam engine quickly became the main productive force of the era, carrying the entire West into the industrial society. Young Master Xu's current game, or rather the technology that Young Master Xu has demonstrated, is equivalent to the steam engine. In the future, systems like Windows, which play the role of manual labor, may become products of the old era."

"Dude, you're exaggerating a bit, but it's something to look forward to."

The news about the Moon Goddess System quickly became the top trending topic.

Xu Lin didn't pay much attention after that.

From the 4th to the 6th, Xu Lin spent the three days updating the later part of the game's storyline, inserting some game maintenance programs, and making some optimizations.

In short, he's quite busy.

Actually, he has things to do for a while, first of all, there are the school's entrance exams and college entrance exams that will last for two and a half days.

After the exams are over and the holidays begin, Xu Lin will have to take Ning Yuhan, Yu Xinyan, and Rong Xiyan home. They all live in different directions, so it will take Xu Lin a lot of time, at least a week. Especially Ning Yuhan's house, Xu Lin even wants to go there for a few days and play with those two kids.

Therefore, Xu Lin finished his work ahead of schedule.

The 7th arrived quickly.

Next comes the two-and-a-half-day final exams.

Exams were nothing to Xu Lin. He hadn't been to school much this semester, but he still passed them with ease.

The school exams don't have very strict requirements, such as having to wait half an hour before submitting the paper.

For example, Xu Lin finished the linear algebra exam in less than fifteen minutes; the test was too easy for him.

Other exams are similar.

A perfect score meant nothing to Xu Lin.

The two-and-a-half-day exam quickly came to an end.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Yu Xinyan sent him a message.

"Xu Lin, I finished my exam today, how about you?"

"What a coincidence? I also got it done today."

Xu Lin remembered his promise to take her home during the holidays. "When are you going home?"

"It's your decision, I'll listen to you."

"Then let's do it tomorrow."

Xu Lin thought for a moment. Ning Yuhan would finish her exams tomorrow and wouldn't have anything to do in Jiangdu, so he would send her home in a couple of days.

Rong Xiyan was the last to arrive; she wanted to stay in Jiangdu for a few more days before returning to Suzhou.

Therefore, we need to stagger the times and send Yu Xinyan back first.

"Shall we have dinner tonight? It's on me!"

Yu Xinyan was very excited.

"Okay, but pack your things first, I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, I'll go back and pack my bags right away!"

"Ok."

Xu Lin drove his motorcycle back to the neighborhood at a leisurely pace, and then took out his Panamera.

About half an hour later, he arrived at Jiangdu University.

During the final exam period, many parents came to pick up their children, and Jiangdu University was no exception.

Furthermore, because this is a top university, there are many luxury cars.

Xu Lin's GTS, costing over two million yuan, is nothing special here, because there are Bentleys and Rolls-Royces that are even more expensive.

Or even more impressively, a car with official backing, with some big shot sitting inside.

Top universities, that's perfectly normal.

Xu Lin drove the car to the building where Yu Xinyan's dormitory was located.

"I've arrived, come down."

"Here I am! Xu Lin, I've packed my things!"

Yu Xinyan took a picture of Xu Lin's suitcase.

Soon after, Yu Xinyan came out carrying a suitcase, which looked quite heavy. Xu Lin put it in the trunk.

"Xu Lin, I miss you so much!" She hugged Xu Lin's hand.

"Let's talk inside the car, it's windy outside."

"Uh-huh?"

Yu Xinyan sat in the passenger seat, and when Xu Lin got in, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Xu Lin, do I look good in my new clothes?"

"not bad."

Today, Yu Xinyan wore a trench coat over a long dress, paired with thermal stockings and ankle boots. Overall, her outfit was quite nice, and the clothes were well-coordinated with good color gradation.

Of course, we can't ignore Yu Xinyan's core item build, and her good looks.

The four girls beside Xu Lin, including Yu Xinyan and her three friends.

Among them, Rong Xiyan and Xia Xiyao are the most stylish. They are not much different from many girls who love beauty. They love to dress up and have all kinds of cosmetics and beautiful clothes. For example, Rong Xiyan's clothes at home can be piled up like a mountain. They also love various comics, novels, TV series, etc. They also love to go shopping and take photos everywhere.

Ning Yuhan is the least fashionable when it comes to dressing up; there's nothing fancy or flashy about her at all.

Yu Xinyan is better at dressing up than Ning Yuhan, but she is far less flamboyant than Rong Xiyan and the other two.
