You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 104 LSP is the primary productive force (for order)

That video, the system seemed to have said before,
It was Liu Mengyuan's imagination, not suitable for him to know, but because it was his birthday, he made an exception and did some welfare for him.

Click on the system space and find the video.

The title of the video is: Braised Yellow Croaker Cooking Guide

The video category is also noted below: Food Tutorial.

What kind of birthday gift is a mediocre cooking video?

Lu Yu patiently opened the system player.

The video starts with a black screen with only one line of text:

"Cooking Instructions: When faced with a roommate who can't stir the wok, the male roommate's answer is..."

Then, a kitchen appeared on the scene.

Hiss...this decoration is a bit like the kitchen at home.

At this time, the gas stove was on and a person was making preparations for cooking in front of the stove.

So it should be a person, right?
The reason why Lu Yu said this was because that person was covered in mosaics.

The system is really fucking stupid. It even mosaiced my cooking video. Maybe it’s to protect the chef’s privacy?

However, the good news is that the resolution of this mosaic is finer than that of the previous system video.
Therefore, he could barely make out that this petite mosaic was a girl wearing a pleated skirt and black stockings.

Subtitles appear below the video:

"At the beginning of cooking, the fish is gutted, the body is scored, and then marinated with Shaoxing wine and salt."

This girl must be a beginner, and her movements in handling fish are very clumsy.

"Put salad oil in a wok, add scallions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the large yellow croaker and fry over low heat."

The rookie started putting the fish into the pan and frying it repeatedly.

It's just that her skill in using the frying pan is too clumsy. If she can't use some skill, it will easily lead to uneven heating and burnt food.

Just as I was worrying about it, a tall mosaic appeared on the screen.
Lu Yu muttered, the color of this clothes is very similar to the one I'm wearing.

He walked behind the person who was cooking, and the two people seemed to be communicating about something.

This person must be a cooking veteran who couldn't stand the rookie's wok-flipping skills and wanted to give personal guidance.

Sure enough, the two mosaic groups chatted and came close to each other.

"After seasoning with Shaoxing wine, salt, and tomato sauce, simmer in water and thicken with starch after the sauce is reduced."

The cooking veteran stood behind the rookie, holding his arm and carefully directing the rhythm of flipping the wok. The two mosaics swayed back and forth rhythmically.

Lu Yu sighed, and said, "You know what, after having the guidance of this veteran, my skill in flipping the wok has become much more steady, and the fish has been fried to an attractive golden color."

There was just one thing that Lu Yu didn't like. This meal should have used freshly caught sea fish, but you guys should have drained the water from the fish before cooking!

Look, there are drops of water falling on the floor with a "pat, pat" sound.

After dinner is done, there will be some cleaning to do.

"Put the remaining onions, ginger, and green peppers in oil, heat over low heat, pour over the yellow croaker, and serve."

Just as the dish was about to be served, the rookie flopped.

She was holding the frying pan in her slender arm, shaking it more and more violently, and all the fish in the pan fell out.

In the end, he couldn't even lift the pot, and had to support himself on the stove with both hands to barely stand.

Lu Yu sighed.

You should exercise. You are so small that you become exhausted after just a few tries of pot-stirring. How can you be a chef and cook?
Also, when cooking in the kitchen, it is best to wear a chef's hat and chef's uniform.

Look at this rookie. When he was flipping the wok, his long hair fell from his shoulders and fluttered around, almost covering his face.
The hem of her pleated skirt was also swaying violently.

Doesn’t this affect the field of vision and range of movement when cooking?

Lu Yu shook his head and closed this mediocre cooking instructional video.

……

On Wednesday, Lu Yu went to Dark Horse Animation Company.

The studio is located in an old office building, which faces a quiet park and is surrounded by weeping willows.

There are tall buildings on both sides of the street not far away, but this place seems to be an isolated existence.

There was an old sign hanging at the entrance of the corridor that read "Dark Horse Animation".

The studio manager was already waiting at the door.

The man was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, tall and slightly thin, with long black hair parted in the middle and a pair of black-framed glasses, looking a bit bookish.

When he saw Lu Yu, he came forward enthusiastically and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I've heard a lot about you. I'm a big fan of the Taoyuanxiang game.

Let me introduce myself. My last name is Gong, and my name is Gong Qijun." "Hiss... your name is very good, very good." Lu Yu was stunned.

Gong Qijun wiped his nose embarrassedly.

"I changed the name later. I have admired animation masters since I was a child and dreamed of making animations that I would be proud of one day, so I changed the name of the master specifically."

After a brief greeting, Gong Qijun introduced him to the basic situation of the company.

The company currently has 20 employees and has been making losses for many years. It is on the verge of running out of cash flow and unable to make ends meet.

Therefore, Lu Yu's outsourcing orders were like a blessing after a long drought.

Lu Yu recalled that the company had been subjected to numerous negative reviews and internal conflicts on Youyi Workshop. It was a miracle that they had managed to continue operating until now.

Gong Qijun took him to continue visiting the company.

Before Lu Yu entered the door, he discovered a detail.

Next to the small garden at the entrance, an employee put his drawing board on his legs and sat on the ground, talking to himself while drawing.

"Oh, our employees are not forced to sit at their desks. They can go outdoors to find inspiration as long as they don't go too far from the office."

Gong Qijun explained with a smile.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

The reception room on the first floor is simply and warmly decorated, with a comfortable sofa against the wall and display racks of various animation peripherals next to it.

Several employees were sitting on the sofa, some were discussing creative ideas in low voices, while others were concentrating on typing on their laptops.

On the reception counter are some dolls and postcards of the company's animation works, specially given as gifts to visitors.

There is a small restaurant behind the reception room. Takeaway lunches and drinks are placed on each table. Employees gather together to eat and chat.

Various medals are hung on the walls of the restaurant.

"These are all honors won by our studio." Gong Qijun chuckled embarrassedly.

Lu Yu looked at them one by one.

[Animation Golden Raspberry Awards: Gold Award for the Worst Animation of the Year.]

[Annual Brain Gold Award: The most brainless and lacking in depth animation production.]

[Golden Broom Award: Worst animation technology of the year.]

A wall of them is displayed in a magnificent manner.

Lu Yu was stunned. Why were all these awards for the worst ones?
Gong Qijun smiled and said:
“How can I put it about our company… Because our style is too unconventional, we have offended many customers both inside and outside the industry.

Moreover, due to the lack of funds, the technology has gradually fallen behind the times.
So, these crappy awards are handed to us every year.”

Lu Yu nodded.

In fact, he didn't care about these bad awards themselves. What he was curious about was Gong Qijun's attitude towards these bad awards. He didn't throw away or smash the signs, but carefully framed them and placed them in the most conspicuous place in the company so that he could appreciate them every day.

Is this the so-called attitude of playing the game of life?

Suddenly, among a bunch of bad awards, Lu Yu found a more positive award——

【Hiska Academy Awards.】

Award comment: "This award is given to the animation work with the best gloss and texture of the character's black silk."

Gong Qijun laughed and said, "Although the animation itself flopped, I didn't expect that the judges of this award really liked the female character's thighs, so it won the award."

Lu Yu was stunned.

God damn Hiska.

Don’t you think the existence of this award itself is strange?

Afterwards, the two came to the studio on the second floor.

The layout here is more diverse, with workbenches of various sizes arranged in an orderly manner, on which are displayed computers, digital tablets, manuscript paper, and a large number of two-dimensional figures.

The walls are covered with sketches, doodles and concept drawings.

Some employees sit at their workbenches, concentrating on their creations, some walk around in slippers, and some lie leisurely on the sofa bed with their mobile phones, watching a newly released cartoon. It’s unclear whether they are slacking off or looking for inspiration.

The conditions here are a bit harsh. Some of the equipment is too old and many of the leisure facilities are faded. It can be seen that they have been used for many years.

But the atmosphere is warm and it feels like the employees are relaxed, just like at home.

Suddenly, Lu Yu noticed that on the shelf against the wall, there was a plastic model of a female model's legs. He didn't know if it was a second-hand item bought from a clothing store or somewhere else.

There were a few otakus wearing glasses nearby, lighting the model's legs in various ways.

Gong Qijun said with a smile: "These are our company's technical experts. They are studying the changes in the gloss and color of stockings under different lighting conditions. This will make the female character's thighs present a more natural texture."

Lu Yu nodded approvingly, LSP is indeed the primary productive force.

"These guys should be able to get along well with our company's technical director."
