I am weak and friendly

Chapter 280 Brother Qiang Helps Me Earn Carrot Points
Although it may not seem like it, Wang Ge is actually the co-founder and technical director of the company Precision Dimensions.

The mapping industry is completely controlled by giants. At the top are top players like Google and Beta, who have deep pockets and have completely blocked the 2C market. In addition, with the booming development of autonomous driving, the investment in various funds is virtually unlimited, making it a pipe dream to compete with them. In the mid-tier are companies like Huawei and Tencent, which have deep expertise in technology and specialization and have a strong position in specific fields. The 2B market is also fiercely competitive. If Wang Ge wants to get a share of the 2B market, he has to go to great lengths.

Although Precision Dimension has several hundred employees, most of them are actually manual laborers or outdoor workers, with less than a hundred engineers. In this field, they are truly small fry. They have finally managed to break out of the bottom and enter the middle of the ecosystem. Brother Wang dreams of improving his company's competitiveness, gaining a foothold, and being able to take on some big orders.

For example, a big shot who broke his leg in a car accident might be given a project involving city-level traffic planning, large-scale event forecasting, large-scale park mapping services, and the construction of smart streets in a city...

You don't need many; he won't adjust them. Just give him a few.

Intelligent prediction and dynamic maps based on various real-time data are the development directions of the mapping industry, and Brother Wang has been working hard and cultivating this area.

Before today, he was very confident in his company's maps and data.

But now...

"Points... how do you get points?"

Brother Wang stared blankly at the screen.

To be honest, Wang Ge didn't pay much attention to the Carrot Points in the last v0.5 update. What he cared more about was that Carrot Points were connected to real-world simulation data.

After all, he planned to deploy the server himself and didn't need to use points or queue up with others for this one-time-a-day cloud simulation opportunity.

When he saw the word "points", he realized that he had run out of points.

Brother Wang opened his points record:

"+10 Robo-Credit, OIFU valid PR."
-
1 Robo-Credit, ROBO-FU Cloud Simulation -
1 Robo-Credit…

It turns out that his points came from his code contributions to OIFU.

I was rewarded with 10 points for successfully submitting the code.

Then, a point was deducted for each simulation.

Looking at those -1-1-1, Brother Wang suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

isn't it...

My code was rejected at least 20 times. Every time it was rejected, I lost clumps of hair. So, you only get 0.5 points for every rejection?

And 10 points were used up so quickly?
Brother Wang suddenly regretted whether he had been too hasty in his previous simulation experiment.

My experiments could have been designed to be more careful, precise, comprehensive, and economical...

My hair, all that drifting and falling, it's all for nothing!

“Old Liu…” Brother Wang looked at Liu Jiadong, “Let me use your points.”

Liu Jiadong remained silent, gesturing as if to dismiss the discussion.

My points are very valuable too, you know!

"Don't be so stingy!" Brother Wang said. "If our company successfully expands its business, how about giving you a raise?"

Liu Jiadong was really torn.

He now realizes how valuable the points are, and like Brother Wang, he only successfully submitted code once, earning a total of 10 points.

But... I need to raise my salary by one level!

Although it seems like an empty promise at the moment, Brother Wang has after all shown him kindness and support.

“Then save some for me…” Liu Jiadong said.

Forty-three minutes later.

"Didn't I tell you to be frugal and leave me some?" Liu Jiadong complained.

"Um... I couldn't help it..." Brother Wang was a little embarrassed, then asked Liu Jiadong, "So what do we do now?"

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Do you expect me to give you back all my points?

“We can only try to earn more points…” Liu Jiadong said. “But OIFU probably doesn’t need any more iterations now…” Its functions are already quite complete, and neither of them could think of any way to add any more features, since it was originally a program designed to help people in need.

"Then... ROBO-FU?"

"You think you can beat Hirako-kun?"

"Hirako is determined not to give anyone a chance to contribute code..."

Both of them were a little worried.

I've been writing code for ages and haven't even committed it yet, and Tang Yiping has already released the new feature. I can't compete with that!

Tang writes code incredibly fast.

"Hmm..." Brother Wang suddenly thought of something, clicked on the points explanation, and then followed the explanation to enter the points leaderboard.

"NO.1. Canyon Night Watcher, 41 points."

Looking at the familiar ID, Brother Wang and Liu Jiadong exchanged glances: "Is it Xiaoqiang?"

"Why is it Xiaoqiang?"

"How does Xiaoqiang have so many points?"

The two were completely baffled.

Brother Wang stroked his chin and said, "If it's Xiao Qiang, can we borrow some points?"

"How dare you use someone else's points?" Liu Jiadong asked.

I won't say anything if you use my points, but you can't just use Xiaoqiang's points for free.

"Then buy his points?" Brother Wang asked.

"How much money would you give for one point?" Liu Jiadong's question stumped Brother Wang again.

Yes, how much would be appropriate?
"Isn't the most crucial question... how did he get so many points?"

Yes, the two people who provided PR for OIFU only received 10 points each.

"I'll ask him." Liu Jiadong checked the time and figured it was unlikely that Lin Jiaqiang was asleep at this hour, so he took out his phone and dialed.

"Points?" Lin Jiaqiang was puzzled when he received the call. "I didn't notice... Let me check my points, hmm... I got 30 points for... Lone Warrior???"

All three people on either side of the phone were dumbfounded. What the heck was "Lone Warrior"?

"The other eleven points are because I restocked eleven vending machines."

"Restock? How do we restock?" Brother Wang asked, intrigued.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Jiaqiang arrived downstairs at the company, he saw Liu Jiadong waving at him: "Xiaoqiang, over here!"

Lin Jiaqiang stared intently, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

A row of more than ten vans was parked downstairs from the company building.

“Come on, get on!” Liu Jiadong said.

When Lin Jiaqiang went upstairs, he found that Brother Wang was already sitting inside.

"Today, we're counting on Brother Qiang to lead us to farm points!" Brother Wang said.

In the surveying team, Lao Wu asked his supervisor, "That's strange, didn't that young man from yesterday come to work today? He hasn't submitted any data yet."

Did he get carried away by the praise?

"Hey, Mr. Wang borrowed him," the supervisor said.

"This guy is a real talent; we might not be able to get him!" Old Wu sighed.
