A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 357 MMS, sent!

"Team leader, please take a look. This is the table I compiled."

As the afternoon drew to a close, Sun Hanyue, who had been testing all day, came to Li Mu's desk with a report in her hand.

Li Mu took it and glanced at it.

[Basic data: 1KB = 500 characters]

[Word Count ------ Pure Text Size ------ 1 Image ------ 2 Images ------ 3 Images]

【100字------0.2------12KB-------18KB-----24KB】……

"So, the more images there are, the less likely there is a doubling of usage?"

"Yes."

Sun Hanyue nodded:

"I just tested the system over a dozen times. The smallest image that can be roughly viewed on a phone is around 12KB. If it's processed smaller, it becomes blurry. After repeated testing, I fixed the size of each image to 12KB. So, within the same size and layout, the more images there are, the smaller each image will be after compression. But it will also become blurrier..."

"Okay, I understand."

Despite the less-than-good news, Li Mu remained remarkably calm.

Because he already knew from his previous conversations with Ding Lei that the essence of MMS was actually the images.

Words don't take up much space at all.

To put it bluntly, the entire MMS department is essentially wrestling with this tiny space, using every 100KB of content.

Every inch of our land was bought with blood; each image is 1KB in size.

"Youzhi, Fanyu, have you two finished entering the data?"

"Data entry is complete, team leader. Shall we begin testing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu glanced at the time and shook his head.

"Let's skip the testing today, Ren Xue. How much news is in the public treasury?"

Ren Xue glanced at the system:

"Currently, 176 news items have passed the first trial, and 92 have passed the second trial. The third trial results are not yet available."

"Okay, that's enough for today. We'll start the MMS test first thing tomorrow morning."

After Li Mu finished speaking, it was almost time.

He packed his things, picked up his bag, and walked straight out.

The first day of the Beijing News has officially ended.

When I clocked out of get off work, I happened to see Han Xu.

"hello."

In response to the other party's greeting, Li Mu smiled and nodded, swiped his card first, and then asked:

"How was your first day at work?"

"To be honest, I'm pretty free."

Han Xu looked around and then lowered his voice. As they walked away, they muttered to themselves:

"Nothing's happening in our office... Everyone's really just been reading the newspaper and drinking tea all day."

"normal."

Li Mu knew exactly what was going on.

Logically speaking, given the current size of The Beijing News, an organizational office would be completely superfluous.

It doesn't deserve it.

But what can you do when Guangming Daily owns half the shares in this newspaper?

The administrative functions assigned to this department by Guangming Daily are exactly the same as those of our newspaper. This department can be idle, but it cannot be non-existent. And now it's the end of the year, so there's almost no more related responses to government directives, but starting next year, the Organization Department will begin to organize annual study sessions on the spirit of speeches and implement related functions, just like other government agencies…

This series of tasks is about to begin.

They are indeed idle now.

When people are idle, they want to move around.

"Want to play ball?"

"Okay."

It's only five o'clock, there's still plenty of time.

Playing for an hour and a half, I can get home around 7 pm, which is just right.

And just as Li Mugang agreed, Han Xu added:

"Just the two of us?"

Li Mu was taken aback, turned to look at him, and then smiled:

"Double is fine too, but not tonight, it's too rushed. Next time you want to play, you have to tell them in advance. What's with suddenly dragging me here like this?"

"Hehe, I was just asking casually, let's play one-on-one then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Xu's phone rang.

"Hello, Mom... Ah?... Okay, I understand, I'll go back now."

He hung up the phone and shrugged.

"My mom is calling me home for dinner."

"Then let's work out our shoulders tomorrow at noon."

"Okay. Let's go."

"Um."

Finally, the Passat was the first to pull out of the parking space.

He returned to Modern City at a leisurely pace, around 6 o'clock.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fan Chengcheng running towards him, crying and shouting:

"Waaaaah, brother!!!"

Li Mu scooped the child up, looking at Zhang Chuanmei, who was still furious:

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Li, put him down! You little bastard, are you going to write it or not! I'm asking you one last time! Are you going to write it or not!"

Li Mu's lips twitched.

They shielded the child behind them...

I thought to myself, "Why is everything in such chaos as soon as I get back?"

Then, he glanced at the kitchen.

Fan Tao acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued chopping vegetables at the cutting board.

The knife skills were incredibly smooth.

……

11 month 12 number.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Li Mu checked all the news included in the MMS message on his computer again, including the first two chapters of the pure text serialization of Li Xiaomu's book "The Insider". He nodded.

"Send it."

Upon hearing Li Mu's words, Wang Youzhi immediately operated the system and clicked "send".

This MMS message, a massive 99.7KB in size, was uploaded to the server and then downloaded to the user's phone number, which was entered yesterday.

In less than two minutes, almost simultaneously, the phones of Li Mu, Fang Xiaofang, Ren Xue, and even Bie Yan... and even everyone at the Beijing News rang.

The tinkling sounds were incessant.

If it's just one person's phone ringing, no one will care, but... when everyone's phone rings in a large office, that's a bit strange.

As a result, many people looked at their phones without prior arrangement.

[MMS: This is the first test of the MMS service from the Beijing News. Please receive it.]

Upon seeing the name of the message, some young people were the first to press the download button.

Soon, after the 100KB download was complete, they clicked on the MMS page, and a brand new webpage popped up.

After seeing the content on the webpage, some people clicked on the specific news articles, while others started to check the number of these news articles.

After all, each section has seven or eight news items.

That's quite a lot.

But when they got to the end, they suddenly found a completely new section.

[Exclusive Serial]:

First published in the Beijing News! A Chinese man's rise and fall in Tokyo's red-light district: from a street guide to a prominent figure, a more absurd and real life than any other!

"You think I'm a pimp soliciting customers in Tokyo's red-light district? Wrong. I'm the godfather of Kabukicho, a figure even the Yakuza would treat with deference, and a guide for political and business elites venturing into this city of desire. I'll dissect for you the nights of Kabukicho, filled with gangsters, lust, dazzling lights, and beautiful women. Please click..."

?

This……

what is this?

Red-light district?

Red-light district! ???

? ? ? ? ?

Many people were stunned.

Including Sui Kuan.

I grass!

Li Mu, what is this? Are you secretly watching porn at work?

Why the hell did you add yellow?

As he pondered it, he subconsciously clicked on it.

Then I saw a piece of content.

【"I'm a Guide in Kabukicho"】

Author: Li Xiaomu

Chapter 1: [A Childhood Turmoiled by Current Events]

1. Introduction

Two things from 2002 left a deep impression on me. One was the person who inspired me to write this book—reporter Li Mu…

what?

No, buddy.

Wait a minute.

who!?

Who are you talking about?

Li Mu? Is that the Li Mu I know… the one who lives upstairs from me?!

Did Li Mu go to the red-light district?

Kabukicho?

You're not taking me! ???

You bastard!!!

Including Sui Kuan, almost everyone in the Beijing News office building was holding their mobile phones at that moment.

Whether it's people from the editorial department or the administrative department.

After receiving the text message and downloading it, they were frozen in place, as if under a spell, holding their color-screen phones, completely petrified.

Some people who haven't had time to switch to color screen phones are confused.

I wondered what was going on...

This strange "petrification" gradually began to dissipate after about ten minutes.

People gradually started chatting in the various offices:

"Was this done by the new media department?"

"It should be."

"So this is MMS?"

"I have to say, it's quite convenient, it's just that the photos are a bit blurry."

"Hey, did you two read that exclusive installment at the very end?"

"I'm reading it now, and to be honest, it startled me... I initially thought it was pornography. It turns out to be autobiographical. But... it's quite interesting."

"I haven't watched it yet, what's it about?"

"The story of a Chinese man working as a pimp in Kabukicho, one of the world's largest red-light districts. Hmm, it's quite interesting. You can take a look. I'll read it first..."

……

"Was this news fabricated by the new media department?"

……

"The photo is too blurry."

……

"How did this pass the review?"

……

"Is there no space left in the newspaper? Our Arts and Sports Department has reserved space for that, right?"

……

One sentence at a time, one person at a time, these people exchanged and chatted with each other.

No matter what they say, there's always a sense of novelty in their words.

Reading news on your phone...

This is so new!

Meanwhile, Bie Yan, sitting in her office, was also looking at Li Xiaomu on her phone.

But then, the phone rang in his office.

"Feed?...Okay, I'll go right now."

Upon hearing Cheng Yizhong's call, Bie Yan scratched his head.

I wondered if it was because of this MMS message...
