Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

Chapter 143 A Sincere Knowledge Sharing Platform

The instant the page loads.

Lin Zhou sensed a completely different atmosphere from ordinary websites.

Black background, white text, minimalist layout.

No fancy GG.

No flashing pop-ups.

There are no random recommendations.

There were only lines of questions and answers, neatly arranged.

The homepage features a search box at the top.

The top navigation bar has only a few options: Home, Discover, Topics, and My Profile.

The middle area.

It consists of lines of question and answer titles.

Lin Zhou scrolled the mouse wheel to begin browsing.

What core competencies should students cultivate during their university years?

Answered by: Zhang Mingyuan, Professor at Zhejiang University, Doctoral Supervisor of Computer Science.

Clicking in reveals a lengthy answer of several thousand words.

From learning methods to ways of thinking.

From knowledge systems to networking.

Each paragraph is written in a way that is both profound and easy to understand.

A list of recommended books is also included at the end.

As Lin Zhou watched, he nodded involuntarily.

He then clicked on another question.

How to Read a Professional Book Efficiently?

Answered by: Wang Sirui, a well-known science writer and author of "Learning to Learn".

This answer is packed with useful information.

From choosing books to reading them.

From notes to debriefing.

Each step is explained with specific and actionable instructions.

Lin Zhou read through them one by one.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became.

The quality of these issues.

It is indeed completely different from Baidu Knows.

Those questions on Baidu Knows.

How to decorate QQ Space, how to get a combo in Audition Online, what to eat today.

You can't see any of them here.

Instead.

These are truly in-depth questions that require thought and professional knowledge.

The titles of the respondents were increasingly frightening.

University professor, researcher, writer, engineer, product manager —

These are people you may never come into contact with in real life.

But now, they are answering questions seriously on this platform.

Share your knowledge and experience.

Lin Zhou leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

This place has something special about it.

Lin Zhou continued scrolling down.

A problem caught his attention.

What should you pay attention to when starting university? Any advice for freshmen?

The questioner is a person with the ID "Wolf Fang Potato".

The problem description is very simple.

"I just got into university, which is far from home. I'm feeling anxious. I don't know what to prepare for the start of the semester, or how to spend my four years of university. Are there any senior students who can give me some advice?"

Thanks."

Lin Zhou looked at the problem.

I felt a strange sense of resonance.

Isn't this exactly his current state?

Thousands of miles from home.

I arrived in a completely unfamiliar city.

I feel both excited and apprehensive about the next four years.

He clicked on it.

Let's see if anyone answers.

The respondent is a user with the ID "Cheng Lin".

There is a yellow V sign next to it.

There is a line of smaller text below.

A certified content creator on Z-Dimension, a well-known goddess on Tencent's Penguin Space, and an artist partnered with ZhengTu Technology.

Cheng Lin?!

Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment.

That original internet celebrity with millions of followers on Tencent QQ Space?

Does she also answer questions on this platform?

He looked down.

Cheng Lin's answer was very long.

Her tone was like that of a kind older sister next door patiently instructing her younger brother who was traveling far away.

Hello, confused freshman.

"Seeing your question reminded me of when I first entered university. I was just like you back then, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do."

"But looking back now, those four years of university were truly the best and most precious time of my life, so I want to share some of my experiences with you in the hope that they can help you."

"First, get to know a few people when school starts. Don't rush to make friends, but at least get to know them. Find out how to get to the cafeteria and which classrooms you can study in without classes from your classmates."

"Secondly, you can participate in more activities. There are all kinds of clubs in universities. Pick one or two that you are interested in and join them. You can meet a lot of interesting people. I joined the photography club back then and I am still taking photos now."

"Third, learn to manage your own money. Once you get your living expenses, think about how much you will spend and how much you will save this month. Don't eat and drink extravagantly at the beginning of the month and then eat nothing but steamed buns at the end of the month. I have seen too many examples of this."

"Fourth, and most importantly, four years of university really go by quickly. You may feel that four years is a long time now, but it will be over in the blink of an eye. So, do what you want to do and learn what you want to learn. Don't wait until you graduate to regret it."

"For example, if you want to learn guitar, start learning now; if you want to participate in a competition, sign up now; if you want to meet someone, muster up the courage to say hello now."

"Looking back four years from now, you'll thank the brave version of yourself you are today!"

Lin Zhou stared at the screen for a long time.

These words are not like those lofty sermons.

Unlike those empty and pretentious motivational quotes.

It's like a real, warm person talking to you.

At this moment, on this black page with white text.

This internet celebrity has millions of followers.

Just like a real older sister.

He patiently and earnestly answered the questions of a freshman he had never met before.

There was no perfunctory talk, no clichés, and no marketing.

Only sincere sharing and warm encouragement.

He swiped the mouse to continue looking down.

Many people have already left comments in the comment section.

"Thank you, Sister Lin! I just started school and really need this kind of advice!"

"It made me cry. It reminded me of how clueless I was back then and how many detours I took."

"I've saved this; I'll take it out and look at it when I feel lost."

Lin Zhou thought for a moment and then typed a comment.

"Thank you, senior. I'm a freshman who just registered today, and these suggestions are very helpful."

After sending it out, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

Lin Zhou suddenly felt...

This place is called the Answer.

It was even better than he had imagined!

He continued scrolling down and read a few more questions and answers.

Someone asked how a freshman should prepare for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams?

The answer came from a female student majoring in English.

It provides a detailed introduction to methods for memorizing vocabulary and techniques for tackling past exam questions.

They also recommended several reference books.

Someone asked, "What should I do if I don't like my major?"

The answers include experiences shared by people who changed their majors.

There is a suggestion to pursue a minor or double degree.

There are also cases where students persist in their studies and eventually fall in love with the major.

Someone asked how to overcome procrastination.

The answers were varied.

There are courses on time management methods.

Some recommend the Pomodoro Technique.

Some people even posted a check-in form they designed themselves.

That table was very detailed.

From 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The tasks for each time period are clearly marked.

Lin Zhou stared at the form for a long time.

I feel that I might not be able to be that self-disciplined.

But I still saved the picture.

For each question, there is a serious answer.

Every answer reveals the respondent's thoughtfulness.

The more Lin Zhou looked, the more convinced he became.

I've struck gold!

He leaned back in his chair.

An idea suddenly popped into my head.

Since this place is so nice.

Let me ask a question too.
