Chapter 37: Chapter 36 Make Huaxia Games Lead the World!

At night, Gu Yu lay in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

He was looking at the new business package that had just been added to the system.

In simple terms, it was a package that solved all the messy steps of starting a company, like choosing a company name, opening an account, registering, tax registration, etc., all at once.

As the sole shareholder, the system would be responsible for all startup capital and subsequent financing.

All he had to do was operate the company according to the rules and regulations required by the system, choose products, set directions, and then create value!

Of course, as the head of the company, Gu Yu could also gain considerable profits.

Based on the company's value, the system would appraise the company from time to time and then offer corresponding dividends.

The dividends were 10% of the company's total value generated during the development period.

Although the ratio seemed low, Gu Yu didn't have to bear any risk at all, basically making risk-free profits.

If the company earned a hundred thousand in a month, he would earn ten thousand; if it made ten million, he would earn a million!

Of course, compared to earning money, Gu Yu valued the Check-in Points reward even more!

In the reward column, there was an item for employee check-in rewards.

The general idea was that every day employees clock in and out on time, it would earn Gu Yu Check-in Points!

From the brief information available, that was all Gu Yu could see. He had to exchange Check-in Points to view the details.

One hundred and eighty thousand Check-in Points, Gu Yu was somewhat hesitant.

He calculated that he had already spent 202,500 Check-in Points lately and had 797,500 remaining.

If he exchanged for another business package now, he would have to use nearly half of the Check-in Points he had accumulated over more than two years.

It hurt! But it seemed worthwhile!

"Damn it, this pisses me off! What's wrong with these people?"

Just as Gu Yu was weighing the pros and cons, Yu Shutong, who was lying on the opposite bed playing with his phone, suddenly cursed loudly.

"What happened?"

Gu Yu turned his head to ask.

"There's a big shot in the gaming field who died! The comments section on Dou Ying is driving me nuts!"

Yu Laoer sat up angrily, his fingers tapping rapidly on his phone, his expression one of grinding teeth, as if he were arguing with people in the comments section.

Gu Yu was puzzled; he had been too busy these past few days to look at Dou Ying and was unaware of recent events.

["Ding—" From 'Magic Bean Media photographer Mr. Yu's' video share: "Tencent confirms the death of development legend Mao Xing."]

Once Gu Yu saw the title, he immediately clicked on it.

Any issue related to Tencent was bound to be big news! S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Under 30, a Jinling Aviation master's graduate, head of the game engine development team, with an annual salary over a million—what a pity!"

"For us computer science students and aspiring programmers, he was a leading figure on our learning path!"

Gu Yu sighed repeatedly, feeling regret but not surprise.

Such incidents were almost monthly occurrences, though most were suppressed.

In the internet industry, everyone was a horse burdened with immense pressure, and no one knew who would ultimately bear the brunt of the coachman's hand.

"But... as regrettable as it is, Laoer, why were you so angry just now?"

Listening to the video's narration, Gu Yu was puzzled—the video was posted by Sichuan-Yu Observation, a very formal official report!

"Just look at the comments section and you'll know!"

Yu Laoer didn't lift his head, his fingers still rapidly tapping, clearly battling a horde of opponents.

With a sense of wonder, Gu Yu opened the comments section.

He had expected it to be uniformly filled with messages of remembrance and condolence.

But as soon as he unfolded the comments section, the first comment he saw made his blood boil and his blood pressure soar!

"Good riddance! Our children are saved now!"

"To correct one's mistakes is admirable; ending one's life was a most meritorious deed!"

"What goes around comes around. Those who make games have harmed so many children!"

"May there be no online games in heaven, gratitude!"

"..."

As he read on, one comment after another, Gu Yu was so angry he almost snapped his phone in half!

Could there really be such people in this world?

Blaming one's own educational failures on game developers?

Even hearing the news of a developer's death, they clapped their hands in glee!

What kind of values, what kind of thinking will educate what kind of children?

He didn't doubt in the least that these people were the same bunch who had long been sending their children to XX Academy!

Only knowing how to use insolence and cruelty to cover up their own educational failures!

"Damn it!"

Gu Yu punched the bed's guardrail, but didn't feel any pain at all, because compared to the physical pain, his heart ached even more.

"Uh... Laosi, calm down! It can't be helped, quality education will take a long time to improve."

Yu Shutong suddenly heard a loud clanging noise and realized that Gu Yu was also infuriated, so he quickly tried to soothe him.

"Aren't you also cursing people out over there?"

Gu Yu curled his lips, he saw a familiar ID in the comments section being unusually active, truly cutting to the heart.

Laoer's cursing skills were awesome too; the entirety of his posts lacked any swear words yet they left a lasting impression.

Yu Shutong awkwardly put down his phone; he really had no choice but to vent as a keyboard warrior.

"Master's graduate from a prestigious university, lead of top game company's development team, Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional, pioneer of domestic AAA titles... An industry elite with a yearly six-figure salary..."

"Truly a collection of glory! Excellence, high education, looks, and results, isn't this what most parents hope their children will become in the future?"

"But the result is unanimous contempt and scorn! Little do they know, most of these parents, when it comes to selecting a university major for their children, will choose a sector that is hot in the job market and has higher income, how utterly contradictory!"

Having acquired the System, this was the first time Gu Yu felt a sense of powerlessness.

He had the ability to change reality, but not the power to change people's hearts.

"Sigh... Laosi, look at Senior Mao's dream monologue."

"He hopes that Journey to the West can surpass War God in the ACT genre, that our sandbox game will be as realistic as Modu City Beach, that AAA titles will no longer need localization, and that games reflecting Huaxia's five thousand years of culture can be played with Chinese audio and dubbing."

"To let Huaxia's games lead the world!"

Yu Shutong sent Gu Yu a monologue Mao Xing posted on Weibo, and after reading it carefully, Gu Yu's eyes twinkled.

"To let Huaxia games lead the world..."

Gu Yu's eyes lit up; an idea suddenly dawned on him.

Right! He could join this industry and use his cheat, his power, to rectify the chaos in this sector!

Unable to sleep now! Gu Yu turned over, got out of bed, climbed down the ladder, and stood under Laoer's bed to pat his bottom.

"Laoer! How about we start a game company now!?"

"What?"

Yu Shutong opened his mouth wide, looking incredulously at Laosi in front of him.

"Laosi, stop joking around! Starting a company isn't that simple! Not to mention the difficulties of starting a business; even if we managed to succeed, how could we compete with those big companies?"

"Maybe we'd be knocked down by Tencent before we could even grow!"

Yu Shutong pursed his lips, feeling that Laosi must have been carried away by enthusiasm to suggest such an outlandish idea.

"Come on! Let's just try! And I've already got everything ready! Just missing a company name now!"

Gu Yu patted his bottom non-stop, enticing him, while simultaneously in his mind, he exchanged for the [Anti-996 Business Package].

[Ding! 180,000 Check-in Points deducted! System is rapidly deploying——]

[Deployment complete! Please name the company you wish to establish {----}]

The System's speed was astounding.

Gu Yu hastily sat down at the table in front of his old laptop, beginning his search for an appropriate name.

"Damn! Laosi, you're serious about this!"

Yu Shutong leaned on the bed rail, watching Laosi as he searched for company names, and now he couldn't sleep either!

(Since many things in this chapter are quite risky, they have mostly been altered. I dare not write too detailed to avoid censorship; please understand! Also, readers might be curious now that the protagonist is starting a company, what about all those skills he exchanged for before!?)

In fact, they are still useful! The content related to the game company is just one major storyline; all the skills learned before are useful!

But to avoid spoilers, I can only tell you that the protagonist's future will involve more than one field (not just games)!

He aims to change the status quo sinking world of the ordinary people in the book!

All content, any resemblance to actual events, or locales, is purely coincidental. Do not take it personally!
