Thesis

Wang Yi wiped his backpack and took out his identification card and other documents. He looked at the flip phone and sighed.

Before he went to the magic world, he was already at the most critical point. The domestic mobile phone industry fought to the Red Sea, and then the fruit brand cell phone of this world appeared out of nowhere.

Originally, he could have relied on the accumulation he had prepared in advance and some investor funds to obtain an outstanding start.

However, after three years of delay, almost all the initiatives had been taken.

A certain penguin mascot company had already started YChat and conquered the market. The streaming website had already started to have a group of loyal fans. Nowadays, the trending searches had also begun to accumulate and explore the search algorithms. Another site had also begun to try out short videos and move on from GIF picture sharing.

The ride-hailing car service was also beginning to take shape.

News had already spread that the three major operators would receive 4G licenses by the end of the year.

This was an investor's sense of smell. After the fruit brand redefined the cell phone and completed the smartphone revolution, almost all industries of the cell phone type had been invaded by investor tentacles. Perhaps it would take a few years for it to grow, but the layout had been completed long ago.

Nowadays, all kinds of capital was used to cast a wide net. There would always be people who could succeed.

What was left was a competition between investors. In the end, the winner would be decided. The founding team relied on creativity and sacrifice to get a share of the profits and be promoted to a member of the investors.

Wang Yi actually had the same plan. Three years ago, he had already prepared and started to save money in advance. If everything went smoothly, he was very confident in getting an investment.

However, if it was three years later, the difficulty of obtaining a piece of cake from scratch would be on a completely different level.

However, if he had the technology that overwhelmingly dominated others, all the problems would be solved.

Wang Yi looked down at the ring on his finger and took five seconds to make a decision.

'Then I'll get an artificial intelligence first.'

Because a lot of the knowledge he had accumulated over the past 18 years was in electronics and algorithms, he had created a magical version of artificial intelligence in the magic world to be his mage tower's butler.

He could be considered familiar with this aspect. Working with the vengeful spirit as the core for artificial intelligence algorithms could save him a lot of trouble. Coupled with the hardware conditions that he lacked previously, it might be even easier to put them together…

"Get well soon. When the time comes, I'll help you resolve your obsession. You can help me manage the household."

Wang Yi touched the ring on his hand.

As a necromancer, he could naturally control it forcefully. Even now, this vengeful spirit was Wang Yi's summoned creature and could not betray him.

However, it was still necessary to maintain friendly communication with each other if he wanted to make use of the vengeful spirit's sense of self and not make it into a passive doll.

Since he had made his decision, he could start preparing some of the hardware.

Even if it was mainly based on the Internet, the basic servers still needed to be prepared well.

Although the flip phone in his hand had been abandoned for three years, it could still be used after it was charged. It was just that he needed to purchase a cell phone service plan.

Fortunately, the bank card was still there. There was enough money in it.

Otherwise, he would really have to thicken his skin and look for Uncle Li to refund the deposit…

…

"Don't make any more mistakes about the same thing after you've suffered once. Here's the key to Room 301. It's next door to your original room."

Uncle Li took the key to the warehouse and lectured for a while. Then, he helped Wang Yi make a bowl of duck blood vermicelli for dinner.

"Thank you, Mister Li."

Wang Yi took the room key and picked up the vermicelli to slurp it down.

Uncle Li's shop was originally set up for his personal interest. Other than basic seasonings, there was no technology or fancy additions at all. The taste was also quite good, and it was cheap.

However, when he thought of Uncle Li's eldest son's vengeful spirit and Uncle Li's faint worry, Wang Yi knew that this landlord also had his own troubles.

Wang Yi checked the balance of his bank card on the ATM. He still had 120,000 yuan left. It was all leftover money from selling the songs. It was enough to create a basic server, but if he wanted to save time and make it better, money was still rather tight.

In terms of funds, he had to think of a way to start getting money first. After all, his artificial intelligence could not see the light in the early stages and could not be quickly created.

The fastest way to obtain money was probably to sell some more songs. With the previous channels he still had and his reputation, he should be able to get money quickly.

The previous songs were all sold before his cheat was activated. Although the memory enhanced by two lifetimes was very strong, there were not many songs that could be memorized word for word.

Moreover, most of them were children's songs. He also rememebered two songs called The Viral Factor and The Lonely and Brave.

In the beginning, the price was not high, but after selling some songs, the price was not bad. From a few thousand to tens of thousands, the last song, The Lonely and Brave, was sold for 100,000.

The price of the lyrics and songs had never been high. Only famous top-notch masters could get six figures.

However, after three years of fermentation, the price of new songs should be able to increase again.

However, the production of songs could not be too high. It was not wise to take out everything he had heard in one go.

As mobile payments had yet to become popular, Wang Yi swiped his card and spent 2,999 yuan to buy a Hanwei P1 phone. After operating it on his hand, he realized that it was very similar to his previous life.

Times and trends can be foreseen to a certain extent.

Returning to the smartphone era, Wang Yi also started to register his mobile account. When he left, he was stuck at the time of the era change. YChat and so on had yet to be invented then.

He also bought a laptop to facilitate his later actions. Then, he browsed the internet at the Golden Arch fast food restaurant next door and easily found the music copyright registration platform to start the registration of two new songs for sale.

Although the overall development of this world was very similar to his previous life, there were still some differences. The consciousness of copyright was more important, and academic journals were more standardized.

Registration of patents and copyrights was relatively easy.

After buying some things, he went back to the Golden Arches fast food restaurant to do some basic operations on the free internet there. When he left, it was already completely dark.

The street was bustling with activity as soon as the lanterns were lit. It was even livelier than during the day.

Wang Yi was wearing a standard checkered shirt and carrying a computer bag. He turned the key in his hand and walked towards his residence.

However, one could vaguely see the outline of his well-defined muscles through the gaps of his shirt buttons thanks to the night breeze.

His perfect figure allowed Wang Yi, who was originally a 6 or 7, to pull up to 8, or even 9 in the eyes of some people.

This was the physique of a Grand Knight.

Wang Yi walked up the stairs to the rented apartment that was filled with life. When he came to Room 301, he also glanced at Room 302, which originally belonged to him. Liu Xiaoke, who acted as a movie extra, had yet to return. It looked quite tiring.

He would not return the money. If there was a chance, he would help her.

He turned the key and entered Room 301. Like Room 302, it was narrow and cramped inside. Fortunately, there was a window, but there was still a moldy smell in the air.

There was also no bed, but Wang Yi did not care much.

He still had his mental spirit. Although the mana in the outside world was too lacking and his mental spirit would be viscous without the help of a medium, it was not a problem for him to maintain his mental spirit for a long time. If he was tired, he could meditate for a while and be energetic again. He was already used to meditating instead of sleeping. It was not a problem for him to not have a bed.

"I have to pay for some internet service. After I earn some money, I have to rent a bigger place to use as the computer room. Uncle Li seems to have something bigger."

Wang Yi casually pulled the laptop to the table and opened it. Then, he quickly started typing.

It wasn't that he had already started preparing for the artificial intelligence. The core hadn't woken up yet, and the hardware wasn't in place yet. There was no need to be in such a hurry.

He was only releasing an academic thesis first.

This was not to make money, but because he had encountered some difficulties while researching magic.

The ability to overclock was powerful, so powerful that it made him feel as if he had changed species. However, overclocking itself had its limitations, which was that it did not provide 'inspiration'. It was useless no matter how high the computational ability if he couldn't think of something.

Wang Yi wanted to throw out some of his research problems and ask everyone to help him take a look, since the Blue Planet was sure to have plenty of talented people.

In order to get those academic experts to talk to him, he had to give them some good stuff. He had to give them a thesis first…
