In the year 2720 the worlds most famous inventor dies in his Will he left his legacy to someone who completes his game New Orbis Online .... 

 I plan for a kinda a slower paced story ill try to realese 1-2 chapters a day from Wed to Sun thanks for reading

This is a collection of thoughts after reading some online novels of different genre and chapter progress along with personal point of view.
These criticisms are not pointed to the authors of the respective novels, rather it is a reminder for myself when I choose to re-read a few novels in my freetime.


Pi was fond of reading Chinese books. At first, it was not very used to them. But the Chinese language had a magical power, in which each word was formed by special rules, and each word's form had a special meaning. This was fascinating to Pi. Take the word "mountain" (山) for example, by looking at this character, the peaks of the mountain seemed visible. 
It followed Zhang Zian's suggestions to sit straight in front of the computer and type for a while, then sit on the window sill to look into the distance and observe the busy pedestrians. After a few minutes, as the eyes were adjusted and relaxed, it sat in the basket hammock chair and read books on the tablet, then repeated the cycle. Pi enjoyed the routine.　　
Maybe Pi was already used to searching for information in the complex records of the nameless book. It was able to read extremely fast and not only was it able to understand everything, it was able to remember them. Each time Zhang Zian came upstairs to check on it, he found it reading a different book.　
"Eeek!"　　
Pi typed its explanation: "I've read the English versions of these books. That's why I read fast."　　
Zhang Zian nodded in acknowledgment.　
The books that he transferred into the tablet for it were the electronic versions of the old and contemporary classics, most of which had been translated into English and introduced to western readers. It was normal that Pi had read them before.　　
Pi enjoyed any type of books. Novels, traveling journals, essays, poetry, science, biography...it enjoyed all of them. To satisfy his growing appetite for books, Zhang Zian retrieved the books he read in his childhood from the storage room, and borrowed some more from Wang Qian and Li Kun. He stacked the books next to the basket hammock chair so that it could access them any time.　　
Pi was gentle with the paper books. It handled them with care, and was careful when flipping the pages, yet these didn't slow down the reading.　
Soon, Pi finished reading all the paper books in Zhang Zian's house and those he borrowed elsewhere.　　
Apart from the daily business of the pet shop, Zhang Zian had an additional task of browsing the online shopping website for discounted books. He would buy some every time there was a promotion.　　

"Master, this is heavy! You are receiving a lot of couriers lately."　
Wang Qian and Li Kun walked into the shop with two heavy boxes, and placed them next to Zhang Zian's reclining chair.　
"Yes. I bought some books."　　
Zhang Zian removed the packaging with a knife. It was book series and journals. The journals were from last year, so the price was good. Pi was not picky about the publication dates anyway.　　
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at the Abyssinian cat breeding book next to Zhang Zian, and asked in confusion, "Master, you've been buying so many books, but we've never seen you reading them..."　　
Zhang Zian rolled his eyes at them. "Do I have to let you see me reading? Can't I buy books for other use? Cut the crap. Go back and prepare for your exams!"　　
He didn't tell anyone else about Pi's arrival for now, especially Wang Qian and Li Kun. These two idiots had big mouths and liked bragging everywhere.　　
"Yes, Master!" They spit the tongues and ran back to school.　
After they left, Zhang Zian carried the books and journals to the second floor.　
"Pi, new books again."　　
"Eeek!"　　
Pi jumped out of the basket hammock chair, and came up expectantly to look at the books. Before Zhang Zian had finished stacking the books, it took one of them and started reading greedily, nourishing itself with knowledge.　 
After seeing how happy it was, Zhang Zian felt both glad and troubled.　
A mound of books had risen next to the basket hammock chair. His old books, borrowed books, recently purchased books and journals were stacked into four peaks of a mountain. The tallest one was the same height as a person, and the smallest one was as high as the waist.　
Zhang Zian could not find the books as fast as Pi was reading them. The books would reach the ceiling in a few days.　　
Paper books were more expensive and less frequent in discount. Storage was also less convenient. Books and journals were consumables to Pi, and had little long-term 

storage value. After all, it owned a nameless book containing everything. Reading Chinese books was only to appreciate the beauty and depth of the language.　　
When not reading, Pi appeared lonely, bored and melancholic. It knew that it could not go downstairs and show up in front of other people, which might bring trouble to Zhang Zian. Even if it did go downstairs, there was nothing to do and it could not communicate with the other elfins. It might as well stay upstairs to type. But typing all day became boring too. So it often sat idly on the window sill.　　
Zhang Zian was worried about Pi, and so did Old Time Tea, the traditional Chinese medicine expert. Old Time Tea said that long-term melancholy was not healthy, and Pi would fall sick if it continued this way. In modern medical terms, Old Time Tea meant depression. When someone was alone and low-spirited for a long time without interaction with the outside world, it could end up having depression.　　
Humans were social animals, and so were monkeys. Pi might be the same, who behaved like a monkey. But Zhang Zian couldn't possibly get a troop of monkeys to play with it.　　
Many studies suggested that negative mood had a negative impact on health, and may cause a variety of acute and chronic diseases, such as gastric ulcer, endocrine disorders, hair loss, etc. He did notice a lot of short yellow hairs while sweeping the floor lately.　　
Since paper books were not enough for Pi's reading appetite, after much thinking, he decided to seek help from the omnipotent internet.　
"Pi, would you like to try online novels?" He suggested to Pi.　
"Eeek?"　　
Pi was reading in the basket chair, and was distracted by his question.　
Zhang Zian explained, "Online novels are a new form of reading as the internet grew popular. They are pretty much like the e-books, except that they were created to be shared on the internet."　　
"Eeek?"　　
Pi put down its book and typed on the laptop: "Are they fun to read?"　
"Some of them are, and some are not. Online novels have a lot of genres, and are many in number. You can always find the ones you like." Zhang Zian answered honestly. In fact, he had not read many online novels. He didn't sound very confident. 　 

Leaving literary and artistic quality aside, the biggest advantage of online novels was its volume and number. Before he could find a better solution, they could at least gratify Pi's reading appetite, and chase away the melancholy and boredom.　　
"Eeek!"　　
Pi nodded and typed: "I want to try some."　　
"Good. I'm downloading online reading apps for you."　
Zhang Zian took away the tablet, downloaded multiple popular online reading apps in the App Store, registered accounts for Pi, then taught it how to search for books.　 
Pi took back the tablet happily, and dived into the ocean of online novels.　　



1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

“This piece of writing makes it sound as if he’s always right.” Ye Xiu concluded. 

“Well, he is correct in a few places.” Tang Rou said. 

“Actually, if you put in time to do research, it’s not that difficult to come up with such a strategy. It’s just a matter of how much time you are willing to put in.” Ye Xiu said. 

“Then do we still need to look at his guides?” Tang Rou asked. 

“Let’s look at another BOSS one!” Ye Xiu said. 

Tang Rou clicked on the previous Scarlet Scorpion Assassin guide, and just like that, Ye Xiu lied down on his stomach, over the receptionist desk like an idiot, and looked at the idiot’s guide. Tang Rou also looked on, but with her experience, she wasn’t able to read as fast as Ye Xiu. For this type of extremely detailed, step-by-step guide, Tang Rou had a hard time following it. Not long after, she felt like a next page clicking robot. 

Chen Guo was actually a bit better in this area. However, she too couldn’t read it any further after a short while. For this type of low-leveled BOSS, even though it was a hidden one, it still wasn’t that difficult. Creating such a complicated guide was a bit excessive. 

“What’s there to look at…….” Chen Guo mumbled. 

“There isn’t much to look at for the guide.” Ye Xiu affirmed that there wasn’t any value in the guide, “But I wanted to see if he made any mistakes.” 

“You’re playing find the fault?” Chen Guo was speechless. 

“He he.” Ye Xiu chuckled and then continued to read. 

Page after page, the guide totaled around 20,000 words long. Tang Rou and Chen Guo decided to stop reading along and just stared at Ye Xiu, waiting for him to find a mistake. 

“There aren’t any mistakes.” Ye Xiu said after reading it. 

“You’re still playing?” Chen Guo asked. 

“Read another one?” Ye Xiu asked, to which Tang Rou responded by clicking on another link. 

“You guys can keep playing!” Chen Guo stretched. She had lost all interest in playing this game. 

“Wow!” Just as she turned her head, she heard Ye Xiu cry out in amazement. Chen Guo immediately turned back: “What? What?” 

“Different classes.” Ye Xiu said. 

“How many times do you need to act amazed?” Chen Guo rolled her eyes. The guide had switched classes before. They had already been amazed once. 

“But this time, he doesn’t even include a Summoner. Isn’t he a Summoner?” Ye Xiu said. 

“Yeah.” Tang Rou nodded her head. They had verified it earlier: Concealed Light, Level 32 Summoner. 

“Does he have multiple accounts?” Chen Guo guessed. 

Ye Xiu couldn’t deny such a possibility, so he silently read the guide. 

After annihilating the excessive 20,000 word wall of text, Ye Xiu still couldn’t find any mistakes. Even though there were a few places where efficiency wasn’t maximized, they were completely possible, and didn’t contain any mistakes. 

During this time, a customer in the smoking area left. Usually, when business is doing so well, the customers had the priority to use the computers, but seeing Ye Xiu’s pitiful appearance, Chen Guo’s heart softened as she waved her hand. Ye Xiu immediately understood her intent and quickly snatched the computer station. 

Chen Guo and Tang Rou continued to stare at the walls of text on the computer screen. 

Five minutes later…… 

“Is it interesting?” Chen Guo asked. 

“No…….” Tang Rou calmly said. She was tired of reading it. 

“Go find two videos to watch!” Chen Guo liked to watch brilliant match videos the most. 

“Sure!” Tang Rou agreed. She didn’t feel as if this guide helped her at all. All she wanted to know was each of the BOSS’s features, so she could avoid predicaments, like when she fought against the Illusion Swordmaster. As long as she knew the BOSS’s patterns, Tang Rou believed that she could deal with them relying on her mechanics. 

As a result, she closed the Idiot’s Guides and began to find a video to watch, but she suddenly discovered that her screen in Glory had turned entirely grey. 

After searching for Concealed Light, she had forgotten to logout. Right now, Soft Mist was lying on the ground. A system notification had popped up asking her if she wanted to revive her character. 

“How’d I die?” Tang Rou stared blankly at Chen Guo. 

“Were you in the wild?” Chen Guo asked. 

“Yeah……” 

“You’re too careless.” Chen Guo said. Dying in the wild, whether it be by a random monster or a vicious PKer, was very common. 

“Go revive and see what you’ve dropped.” Chen Guo said. 

Tang Rou clicked confirm to revive. Her character returned to Congee City in a Critically Ill State. When she opened up her equipment and items, she shook her head: “I didn’t drop anything. Only some money and experience.” 

“Those always drop. Check the system log.” Chen Guo said. 

“Uh?” Tang Rou unexpectedly didn’t know what that was. 

“Here!” Chen Guo took the mouse and clicked it for Tang Rou. The system log recorded her death. She wasn’t killed by a monster, but rather by a player called Breaking Zero. 

“Breaking Zero…….” Chen Guo muttered. She opened up the search function and put in the name. 

The character was online. A Level 33, male Spellblade. 

“Level 33! He’s definitely leveling in Line Canyon. Go and take revenge!” Chen Guo gave the mouse and keyboard back to Tang Rou and commanded her like a general. 

“Now?” Tang Rou was unsure. 

“Obviously!” Chen Guo nodded her head. 

Tang Rou pointed to the side. Chen Guo turned her head and saw a bunch of customers leaning against the front desk, watching the two beauties play the game. 

“I’ll go! You take revenge.” Chen Guo went to deal with the customers. 

“It’s fine! Who knows if I’ll be able to find him. It’ll be the same if I do it later.” Tang Rou didn’t really care and logged out of the game to take care of the customers. 

In the smoking area, Ye Xiu continued to read Concealed Light’s Idiot’s Guides. With the current pace of the new server, there were a total of four dungeons; each one had three hidden BOSSes for a total of twelve. Every one of Concealed Light’s hidden BOSS guides were extremely detailed step-by-step guides that were over 20,000 words long. Even though Ye Xiu read very fast, he still had to read each word one by one. When Chen Guo called for him to eat, he had only finished six of them. 

“You’re still reading! I’ll eat first.” Chen Guo was already used to Ye Xiu’s obsession over the game. 

“Okay…..” 

“Have you found any mistakes?’ Chen Guo asked. 

“No.” Ye Xiu shook his head. 

“Are you planning on reading them all?” Chen Guo knew that playing find the fault wasn’t a very fun game. It was actually quite tiring. 

“We’ll see!” Ye Xiu said. 

“Little Tang was killed by someone in the afternoon!” At the dining table, Chen Guo suddenly remembered. 

“What happened?” Ye Xiu asked. 

“She forgot to logout of the game. Her character was standing in the wild and someone killed her.” The person involved was calmer than Chen Guo. 

“The killer was someone called Breaking Zero, a Level 33 Spellblade. If you see him, take note.” However, Chen Guo remembered better than Tang Rou and told him who the murderer was. 

“Got it.” Ye Xiu laughed, “If I see him, I’ll definitely kill him.” 

“Good.” Tang Rou nodded her head and then asked, “Did you figure out anything from these guides?” 

“This person might not have multiple accounts. With how long the new server has been online, I don’t think there’s enough time to understand the details of every single hidden BOSS to such a degree. Right now, I’m doubting whether this author has even killed these hidden BOSSes. He used previous guides and videos as sources to create such an idiot’s guide.” Ye Xiu said. 

“No way.” Chen Guo was astonished. 

“If what you’re saying is true, then this person is an extremely amazing new player!” Ye Xiu said. 

“He used his imagination to write these guides, yet there aren’t any mistakes?” Chen Guo said. 

“That’s why I said he’s amazing.” Ye Xiu said. 

“I don’t believe it.” 

“After I finish eating, there’s still another six I need to look at!” Ye Xiu quickly ate his meal, got up and ran to continue reading the guides. 

Guide after guide, Ye Xiu read them without missing a word. The more he read the more he was sure of his judgement. From these guides, he was able to see several not-so-optimal places, which told Ye Xiu that the author had limited in-game experience. These twelve guides were actually just his imaginations after grasping the theory. However, the logic, rationality, and possibilities of these imaginations weren’t simple. 

After reading the last guide, Ye Xiu didn’t have any doubts. These twelve guides didn’t have any mistakes in them, however the weaknesses of the author were completely exposed by some of the details. Ye Xiu had already figured out what type of player this Concealed Light was to some extent. He was very interested in this person. 

Looking at the time, it was already almost 11 o’clock. It was almost time to change shifts, so Ye Xiu turned off his computer and went to the front desk. During the weekends, there were quite a lot of all-night customers, so the front desk was extremely busy. After Ye Xiu finished, it was 11:30. 

Tang Rou went to her usual spot and the two logged into the game. Ye Xiu went online and searched up Concealed Light’s name, but the character wasn’t online. Ye Xiu sent a friend request, but didn’t receive an answer. When he looked at his friends list, Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan still weren’t online, but Steamed Bun Invasion was. As a result, he sent Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion a message, telling them to gather in front of the dungeon entrance. 

“Okay.” 

“Got it.” 

The two replied. Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim immediately left Congee City and headed to Line Canyon. 

“Lord Grim has come online! He’s left the city and is now heading towards Line Canyon!” 

“Soft Mist has come online! She’s heading towards Line Canyon. Her character is still Critically Ill!” 

“Steamed Bun Invasion has left the Arena. He’s now heading out of the city.” 

The three didn’t know that their whereabouts were being tracked by others. 

11:41 

“Desolate Land, coordinates: 1256, 1475. Cleansing Mist has come online.” 

11:44 

“Desolate Land, coordinates: 1256, 1466. One Inch Ash has come online.” 

New information continued to be transmitted. 



In the online game Glory, Ye Xiu is regarded as a textbook and a top-tier pro-player. However, due to a myriad reasons, he is kicked from the team. After leaving the professional scene, he finds work in an Internet Cafe as a manager. When Glory launches its tenth server, he who possesses ten years of gaming experience once again throws himself into the game. Bringing with him the memories of his past and an incomplete, self-made weapon, his return along the road to the summit begins! 
After fighting and scheming, who snatched away my glory? Under the tossing of the wind and rain, my dreams shall still appear as though they had never been shattered. In all its splendor, the path shall never be lost. Before the gazes of millions, this is where I return!

Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's words, Ko Gohon's eyes instantly lit up and he anxiously said, "Uncle Kazuma, I've realized my mistakes. Quickly teach me, what do I have to do?!"
"Currently, the previous bet is already over. We'll just ignore it and not consider it any further." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "So, now, we mainly have to focus on the online novel website.
"According to your bet with Hong Dali, the person with the most number of daily updated books two weeks later wins. If it's according to your idea to increase the flat fees of the authors at the novel website and find ghostwriters to increase the number of novels, all these can more or less be done, but it's still far from enough!
"In this day and age, channels are the king.
"Number one, get through all the possible channels of the novel website and liaise with our joint venture companies in Heavenly State. As long as they are enterprises related to the internet, they must all advertise on the novel website.
"Number two, liaise with the telecommunication companies in Heavenly State and get them to send messages to prompt people to read our novels!
"Number three, liaise with all the web portals in Heavenly State, including Weibo, and open all channels to read our novels.
"Number four, hold a free of charge reading day to attract those readers that are used to reading free of charge books.
"Number five, hype things up and expose our Feng Yun website's remunerations for our authors on all the websites related to novels!
"Number six, liaise with the TV stations to interview our authors and create more exposure for the website!" 
Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's suggestions, Ko Gohon's face glowed as he firmly smacked his thigh. "Understood. I'll get these done right away!"
…
In the next few days, advertisements about Feng Yun website suddenly emerged everywhere. Advertisements for Feng Yun website were all over all the various websites in Heavenly State.
"Feng Yun website is the largest local reading base, free of charge reading and downloading of the novels. No pop-up ads, simple and clean webpage. Come to Feng Yun website to find good novels!"—Haoche Website. 
"Feng Yun website is an online novel website with no pop-up ads, providing the latest and best novels for all novel lovers. Come to Feng Yun website to read novels!"—Dream Paris.
"Feng Yun website provides you with various literature works with no advertisements to spoil your reading experience. It's a website which creates an elegant environment to read novels for all friends who are literature lovers, and the content includes various popular novels."—Guodian Online. 
…
On smartphones.
Countless people throughout Heavenly State had received messages about Feng Yun website's novels.
"We welcome you to the free of charge reading column, Feng Yun website provides all kinds of awesome and exciting novels." 
"[Urban] Personal Show: My Best Grade Missy."
"[Military Affairs] Special Operation of the Falcons: Special Force Number One." 
"[History] Great Waves Again in the Court: Big Fatuous Ruler."
"[Urban] Exceedingly Beautiful Superior: Pretty Tenant."
"[Fantasy] Wuzun Sword Slashes The Vault Of Heaven: Wudao Vault of Heaven."
Countless curious readers clicked on the advertisements, and after taking a few glances, they were satisfied with what they saw. "Mm, these book recommendations are not bad. It's quite good to kill time. This Feng Yun website is quite brilliant!"
Of course, there were those unimpressed as well. "Tsk, such a tacky way of promoting books. Now that there is the smartphone reading app produced by Young Master Hong Dali, who would still want to read these. Zhong Dian website is the king!"
…
On Xinhai Weibo—
Drunk and leaning on the fence of the pavilion, Meng Ziying Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novel 'Yifan's trouble' is very well written. I like how Yifan bullies Shaowan, serves him right for bullying Xiaochao… Mm, amusing as usual, this work is quite good." 
Douban Doujiao Doubao Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novels are quite good. I read novels there the whole day today. The books are not bad! Worth taking a look at them, I strongly recommend!
@Tangdou-like unlucky person: Feng Yun website is not bad, quickly gather and take a look @Dark Building Lonely Spirit 
@Dark Night Vigilante 
@Zuiyu Changwan_Shifu Calls Me Xiaowan @Muying Huange_Little Angel Of The Wolf Master 
@Fleeting Time At Finger Tips."
"Feng Yun website rises strongly, regarding the rise of online literature."—Soulang.
"Earth-shaking big scheme, about the counterattack of Feng Yun website."—Easy Net.
"Small online novel, big wealth! Feng Yun website's powerful rise!"—Dongfang Wealth.
"Read novels, go to Feng Yun website. Write novels, still go to Feng Yun website."—Tianjing's Plaza.
…
In the various readers' group chats.
"These two days, there are so many free books to read on Feng Yun website. I've discovered a few good ones."
"Really, then I'll go and take a look too."
"Of course it's true, it writes that the books are free of charge for a limited period of time!"
"Not bad, not bad. This website is doing pretty well!"
…
On the largest local online novel forum.
"Overwhelming amount of subscriptions! Feng Yun website with all kinds of awesomeness!"
"Zhong Dian or Feng Yun? A newbie feels that Feng Yun is still better!"
"Please help, a newcomer wanting to know whether it's better to go to Feng Yun or Zhong Dian? I personally feel that Feng Yun is better, I can earn quick money."
"Zhong Dian wants to defeat Feng Yun just by relying on a smartphone app, does Feng Yun know about this?"
…
At the TV station.
"Hello, hello, as a Great God-level author on Feng Yun website, may I know how much can your monthly earnings reach?"
"Earnings, this… Around 20 to 30 thousand per month is still fine."
"So much? Then you must be one of those people with the highest earnings on Feng Yun website, right?"
"No! How is it possible that my earnings are so high. My fingers are not nimble, so I type considerably slower. We have people who can type fast and are able to write 10 to 20 thousand words per day, and their remuneration is at least 50 thousand and above per month. There are even people earning 100 thousand!"
"So much?!"
"Yes, Feng Yun website's perks are very good."
…
In Tianjing City, the tallest television tower, in the top floor revolving restaurant.
"Young Master, Chief, the latest totaled reports of Feng Yun website are out!" The bodyguard was shivering with fear as he looked at Shiroishi Kazuma whose back was facing him and was standing in front of the window with his hands placed at his back. This time, he really saluted him. "According to the latest reports, currently, the site traffic of the website has already increased to 2.4 million and above for daily independent IPs. These two days, large batches of newcomers have started writing new books, and the number of updated books in three days have already reached 3,600 books!" 
"So fast!" Ko Gohon exclaimed, "Uncle Kazuma, your idea is really useful!"
"So-so." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm. "How many daily updated books does Zhong Dian website have now?"
"Chief," The bodyguard's expression and voice were filled with respect. "At the moment, there are approximately 4,500 newly updated books daily."
"Mm, we still lack 900 books." Shiroishi Kazuma said with satisfaction, "It's still within our control. If things continue progressing this way, probably in no time, we will be able to overtake Zhong Dian website. After all, the authors are after all the benefits and perks. As long as there is enough advertising, and the money is sufficient, it's not difficult to attract authors over."
Ko Gohon fully looked up to Shiroishi Kazuma now, as he anxiously asked, "Uncle Kazuma, then, do we continue like this? Why don't I get more ghostwriters to write more books? It's fine as long as it can surpass Hong Dali. I don't plan to earn much money from it."
Upon hearing Ko Gohon's words, Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head and slowly said, "No, if Hong Dali can earn money, why can't we?"
"Ah?" Ko Gohon said in surprise, "Uncle Kazuma, you're planning to… seriously run this Feng Yun website?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded, yet he didn't continue talking about the novel website but instead looked out of the window, saying, "Young Master Gohon, look at the night view of Tianjing City. How beautiful is it? It's not lacking compared to Tokyo in our Jaban Empire, isn't it?" 
It was night right now. The night view of Tianjing City was extremely beautiful. Neon lights were flashing, and it was especially comfortable to stand from high up and look down, coupled with the gentle night breeze.
"It's very pretty." Ko Gohon agreed. "I haven't really noticed it previously."
"Yes, we haven't noticed it previously." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm, as he slowly stated, "It's the same for our Toyoda Conglomerate. As the top 16 in the world, the funds of our Toyoda Conglomerate are ample. You normally don't care about this, so you won't care about how much money you spend. You just feel that all the money is there for you to take it."
"I understand, Uncle Kazuma." Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly understood what Shiroishi Kazuma meant.
Actually, he wasn't a stupid person. It was just that in the midst of fighting with Hong Dali, he had always been at the losing end, thus his conflicted mind.
Toyoda Conglomerate was indeed very rich. Just like the night view of Tianjing City, though it was pretty, one wouldn't notice it after looking at it for many times. But no matter how rich it was, after all, it had been built up bit by bit, and it didn't just drop down from the sky.
In that case, as long as they properly operated this Feng Yun website, then they could earn money. So why don't they do it properly and well?
"Uncle Kazuma, what should we do next?" Ko Gohon asked.
"Now since the popularity has already been increased, then next, we'll take in all the good ones and eliminate the bad ones." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "Eliminate all those poor-quality books and get them to finish writing them as soon as possible. Secure those good-quality books and do your best in nurturing their authors. At the same time, slightly change the welfare benefits policy and slowly convert the severance method to giving out dividends. After the novel website has entered a stable phase of operation, it would then be a virtuous cycle." 
"Uncle Kazuma, you are brilliant!" Ko Gohon was elated. "Then, after the website has entered a virtuous cycle, we can earn quite a lot of money, right?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma smiled. "Don't belittle online novel websites. All the profits from the adaptations of films, online games, merchandises and so on are actually huge. I truly admire Hong Dali. The things started up by this lad truly have very big prospects!" 
"After hearing what Uncle Kazuma just said, I realized that this Hong Dali is very brilliant!" Now, Ko Gohon finally had to admit that Hong Dali was indeed brilliant. "I haven't thought about all this!"
Speaking up to this point, Ko Gohon recalled his bet with Hong Dali. "But Uncle Kazuma, my bet with Hong Dali…"
"Hehe, there's no hurry on that." Shiroishi Kazuma wasn't worried at all about the bet and insipidly said, "Since I've come, of course I have a way to help you win. Wait for a few more days, let's see first whether Hong Dali's side makes any moves."
Shiroishi Kazuma assured Ko Gohon, then instructed him, "Remember, leave your trump card for the last. Don't take them all out at once. Or else, what will you have left to fight him by then?"
"I understand!" This time, Ko Gohon was really convinced. "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Kazuma."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Clak!
the sound of burning woods lowly echoed from the bonfire under the cold night. the bonfire make the cold night a little warmer and illuminate the dark wilderness with oranges atmosphere.

I sat in front of the bonfire while reading Basic Civil Engineering book that i bought with Online Shopping skill. with 1 hand holding the book and another one holding a flashlight, i read the book leisurely while using the flashlight to illuminate the page.
I consider myself someone who not bright at studying, but somehow i could easily understand all the physical theory and formula in the book
"did my INT stats help me study easier?" its what i thought when all the knowledge inside the book being absorbed like a sponge inside my head
[If i have this ability on earth when i was at highschool, i could get the 1st rank easily for sure! sigh....]
i sighed after remembered all the red marks in my test paper when i was at highschool on earth.
*flashback several hours ago
After clearing all the monster in the surrounding area, and set permanent illusive barrier in this spot, I built a big mongolian tent,  you could call it yurt that i bought with my Online Shopping skill.
 As expected they sold it as a set with the guidebook to made customer to install the yurt easier in Online Shopping. I build the yurt with Chali helps by following the instructions from the guide book.
Somehow Chali got curious after looking at me built the yurt while reading the guidebook and she took a peek at the guidebook and tried to read it herself. I was so surprised after knowing that she could read the book with alphabet letter smoothly and asked her how she could do it excitedly. apparently after she looked at the letter, the language information suddenly flow inside her head like memories and somehow made her understands what is written in the book. Th-thats exactly the same experience i got after i first arrived at Arkhaim town. For some reasons i could understand this world language like how Chali could understand and read the words in the guide book.
My first suspect is this unknown skill!
Otherwolder[???] : explore yourself!! dont be lazy!!!
Party member list : [Alex] [Chaliope]
To confirmed Chali ability to read and understand my world language, i bought a woman magazine with my Online Shopping skill for her and she reads it casually. I wanted to take the magazine back but after seeing she reads the magazine with interest expression i smiled at her and told her to keep the magazine and reads it after she helped me to build the yurt. even tho i loved her it didn't mean i would spoiled her everytime. she still has the duty as my companion to help me when i needed it.
Somehow i could hear someone said "SIMP!!" to me in my mind! Who!! come ouut!!
whatever, i admit that i was simping HOLOL** IVE when i still on earth! what ?! problem?! how dare you not simping the Crazy and wholesome usagi PEKO***RA CHAN!! NOE**L BOOBS NUMBER 1!!! oh don't forget the lewd pirate MARIN***E!! sigh... remembering about it, somehow i missed the girls, its good if i could subscribed to some internet provider with Online Shopping...even thought i could buy alot of earth product, there is some item that Online shopping didn't have, like Illegal drug, gun, and military thing etc. for some reasons the online shopping sold live poultry and livestock like sheep and cow! how the hell they send it to another world!! as expected of Mythical skill! no wonder that Chali never heard about the rating!!
Anyway i continued to build the yurt with Chali and bought some simple furniture to decorate the yurt. after finishing the yurt the sun started to set and the sky became darker. looking at Chali excitedly taking the magazine i stopped her and give her a paper and pen and asked her to draw the map in this continent first. She dejectedly take the pen and paper and started to draw the map on the table inside the yurt. I installed chargeable lamps in the yurt so its quite bright inside and she could draws the map comfortably.
After got nothing to do, i remembered the difficulty i got when i built the yurt and started to think its better for me to read some book about basic civil engineering and Architecture to build my mansion. and here i am, reading the book leisurely outdoor while enjoying some warmness radiated by the bonfire.
[did she already finish the map? why she is so quite?]
[anyway lets check her out!]
I turn off the flashlight and put it inside of my inventory skill. I entered the yurt and saw Chali reading the magazine interestingly, this woman!
I walked towards her silently and hitting her head with the book in my hand playfully, she gasp in surprise and holding her head charmingly
[M-master~ sorry, i already finished the map but looking at master reads the book seriously i dont hove the courage to bother master~so...]
I patted her head and rubbing her hair gently
[okay okay~ just give me the map and you can continue reading, don't worry i will buy more magazine for you later if you doing your duty seriously okay~hohoho]

[umm.. here is the map, and thank you for the magazine, its really interesting.. somehow i get reference to boost my sexual appeal and some skincare information to make myself more beautyful to satisfy my "master"~]
Chali give me the map and squinted her eyes seductively. This enchantress! just wait! i will "deal" with you tonight!!

I took the map from Chali hands and sat on the bed. i started read the map carefully and somehow get the gist of it, the map Chali drew is quite simple but still informative.
*this is the map layout

|_______________________________________________________________________\_________________________|

[Umu.. So Arkhaim mountain is in the middle of the continent, Garham Kingdom in the east , Baltimore empire in the Southwest, Arshlan dukedom in the northwest, and Yakshire Kingdom in the north]
After roughly understand the territory of each kingdom i started checking the political condition in each country that Chali wrote under the map. in the notes she said she got the information from the new slaves that transferred to madam Catherine store.

It seems Arshlan Dukedom is governed by the two powerful Granddukes namely Grandduke [Fafnir Gowells] the head of the Lycan's clan and Grandduchess [Alucard de Maria] the lord of the Vampire race. the two have the same power level and always maintained the balanced state. it seems they both are very strong that even grandmasters didn't dare to be impolite to the two granddukes. The inhabitants of the territory mostly from the Beastman race that lead by their respective Chieftain.
[Alucard de Maria, somehow my Milf radar told me that she is in my strike zone mweheheheh..]
I continued read the notes while imagining a bewitching mature body of that Vampire duchess.

For the information about Baltimore Empire, The emperor seems sick and paralyze and unable work his duty as emperor. the crown prince [Eric von Baltimor] seems wanted to take the emperor duty but got so many opposition from the minister and the other princes, as the emperor himself didn't appointed anyone who will replace him, maybe its better that he couldn't pointing anyone as he is always stay in his bed after being paralyze.
The crown prince tried to make huge achievement by taking the Gharam empire territory in the south border and boost his prestige to gain more power and convince the opposition

Yakshire Kingdom, Lead by the charismatic Queen Harmonie I, she just ascended the throne 3 years ago after being appointed by the last old King before he passed away. it seems the prince and all the male royal blood that supposed to succeed the kingdom died mysteriously, the rumor said that it was the Baltimore Empire whom sent the Assassins to purge the royal blood. recently there is some rebellion movement to try changed the matriarchal system back to old patriarchal leads by old aristocrat of Yakshire Kingdom. it seems its quite unstable in there now.

Gharam Kingdom, The King himself Gharam the III suddenly got poisoned and sick, the king appointed the crown prince to temporarily replaced him but he got Assassinated by his own private maid, the maid committed suicide after killing the crown prince. The royal palace became unstable and alot of old aristrocrats plotting each other behind the scene.
[What the heck!! its clearly someone trying to destroy the power balance between the kingdom and spread chaos behind the scenes!! did someone planning for a huge chaos to happen and fish in the muddy water?]
I stroke my chin while thinking who get the most benefit if a huge chaos really happen?
[Bah! itsnot my problem anyways why should i care about who get the most benefit! i just wanted to live in this world leisurely while enjoying travel and sightseeing this fantasy world with Chaliope and slowly build my harem!]
[Whoever you are, its better you not mess with me. even though i am still weak now and trying to get lowkey after seeing Madam catherine stats but if you touch me and my women i will destroy you for sure!]
[anyway lets eat dinner first! i am too lazy to cook something now, lets order some KFP fried chicken!]
I ordered 2 buckets of fried chicken and 2 large fries, i am not in the mood for drinking soda now, lets buy thaitea!!
After ordered the foods and beverages i called Chaliope who still enjoying reading the magazine. she look at the friedchicken buckets curiously and started to eats the friedchickens.
Her eyes started to lit up and she ate the friedchickens in delight while smiling bewitchingly
[Is it delicious Chali?]
[Its very delicious master! Isnt it better if we just eat this fastfood thing everyday?]
[Nah, we can eat it once in a while, its not good for your body if you eat fastfood everyday]
[huh? why? master move your body by hunting monster often right? anyway if master status is high enough there is no chance for your body to get sick except for getting poisoned and sick because of old age~]
huh? is that really true? but still eating fastfoods everyday ... as expected is kinda....
[it still no! just imagined it made me want to puke, anyway, i want to enjoy cooking together with Chali for times to times isn't that good?]
[um~]
Somehow she just nod and continued eating her friedchicken in happiness. did she like friedchicken that much?

"Whaa--- I can order Mcdonalds in isekai ?!! With this i can still eat junkfood without problem in the middle of the jungle mwahahahahah! what is dry meat ?! i dont need it !!"

Curly Hair worked even harder in order to advance from his learning console to a game console. However, there were some things such as reading comprehension and writing essays that were really too difficult to learn.
Curly Hair wasn't even able to obtain a C each time and didn't know whether he was making any progress.
After yet another test, Curly hair had to defend himself when Fang Zhao checked his learning progress.
"I feel I have made great progress. Not far from a C- now."
Because of this sentence, Fang Zhao changed the grading system to score from 100 marks. On the next day's test, Curly Hair's reading comprehension received a grade of 21 marks.
He wasn't even able to meet the passing criteria of 50/100 marks.
The weather was fine. Nanfeng and Zuo Yu had been looking at a few houses for Fang Zhao and came over to report their findings. Upon entering the dormitory, Nanfeng saw Curly Hair crouching in the corner with his head drooped. There were clearly tear marks beneath his dog eyes.
"Why is our Little Curly Curls crying again?" Nanfeng was about to say "Did you receive a scolding again?" but caught sight of Fang Zhao from the corner of his eyes and changed his tune. "Feeling heaty again? Here, have some fruits."
Nanfeng then brought out a paper box filled with little fruits. He saw Fang Zhao looking over and explained hastily, "Got them from the fruit store outside of HuangArt. I asked already; dogs can also eat these fruits. They are rather cheap too. One box only cost 21 dollars."
Curly Hair cried even harder.
With that, Nanfeng could only have Zuo Yu bring Curly Hair out for a walk. If the dog wasn't in a mood, walking one round would make him feel better. If that wasn't enough, then two rounds was needed. As for everything else… what could he say as an assistant?
Whoever paid the wages was the boss!
Curly Hair didn't seem to be in better spirits after walking two rounds. However, the dejection of scoring 21 marks was quickly forgotten when he regained his self-confidence after taking a math test at night.
The learning console also had reference books compiled by various teachers of various continents. Unless the user loved doing questions, most students would simply have psychological scars from those reference books.
Curly Hair had similar sentiments, but his were slightly more complicated. Practice questions in the sciences were a piece of cake. He could do ten sets of science practice questions in the same time he took for a reading comprehension question. Even then, he might get the reading comprehension question wrong.
After Curly Hair finished the primary school curriculum, Fang Zhao looked through Curly Hair's grades. Curly Hair scored close to full marks on math and science. The only blip on his report card was a narrow pass on language, but overall, it was good enough for him to start the secondary school curriculum.
To celebrate graduating primary school and being one step closer to his own personal terminal, Curly Hair happily devoured five kilograms of dog food.
Secondary school curriculum was more complicated. Fang Zhao added some money to the account to purchase some of the online classes. After watching a few videos, Curly Hair chose the online classroom of a very popular teacher.
The microphone was also turned on.
Sometimes, students would have questions. Of course, there were also students unwilling to turn on their mics and would just type questions out in text.
This type of classroom mode was rather novel to Curly Hair. This was the first time in his dog life that he was acting as a human. He needed to be on his best behavior.
Curly Hair pretended that he was a secondary school student and started his journey of attending online classes.
However, this unique student still gave teachers some headaches.
For example, when a certain teacher that specialized in tackling test and examinations questions said, "Encountering a tough question is like a stumbling block in the middle of a road. How would you go about solving it?"
Curly Hair: "Eat it up!"
"Can this student please be more serious?"
As the other online students roared with laughter, the teacher took note of the online student ID [Little Curly Curls].
Afterwards, Curly Hair felt that the stuff this teacher taught was too simple so he went over to the next classroom and stumped the teacher with his questions.
He wasn't purposely causing trouble. Even though he asked seriously, the kind of questions he asked were either from unorthodox perspectives or were beyond the scope of the syllabus.
For students, those that could stump teachers by asking questions had a "cool" halo in the eyes of others. Some students also took note of [Little Curly Curls]. But, this bookworm seemed to not like accepting friend requests.
It wasn't that Curly Hair was unwilling to add friends. Rather, he remembered what Fang Zhao had said. 
"No adding friends before 'graduating from university' or scoring at least 85/100 for a language examination." Fang Zhao was worried Curly Hair would reveal his identity in a fit of carelessness.
The teacher of this classroom didn't know this. He had spent the past few days studying this student who had asked many crafty questions. Although there was a voice, the student couldn't be seen. The voice sounded young, and the questions were sometimes very naive.
Nonetheless…
There would surely be a vile and sinister face behind this innocence! A wide mouth and sharp teeth were just waiting to bite a huge chunk of his flesh!
Some people were just the best at pretending to be innocent!
"Don't think you can deceive me!"
A question solving genius? He didn't believe it!
How could there be so many geniuses in the world. If this were really a genius, he would have been snatched up long ago. Those at schools weren't stupid. Nowadays, every continent and district were competing for talents. There was no way such a talent would use a learning console's platform to attend classes.
Therefore, it definitely had to be a professional troll!
This sort of situation was commonplace. Currently, competition among online classes was intense. Mutual sabotage occurred frequently. He reckoned that surely this ID had been sent by someone from the same industry. He couldn't keep this fellow any longer!
Right now, what he needed was to think of a reason to kick this person out of the classroom.
After another round of questions left him stumped, the teacher sent a private message to Curly Hair. The main idea was this: You are already very impressive. I have nothing more to teach you. I can recommend you a teacher, for example XXX[link]. Since you have only attended half of the scheduled classes, I will refund you the remaining half.
Don't bring me down. If you want to harm others, then go ahead, the teacher thought to himself.
Curly Hair was also surprised when he saw the message.
"This teacher is really great! Introducing a new teacher and even giving a refund! Woooo!"
The refunded money could be used to buy dog food!!
Curly Hair felt that this transaction was rather worthwhile and agreed to leave the original classroom. He even sent a red packet to that teacher as thanks when he left the classroom. It was mentioned in literature that one must respect their teachers.
That teacher was thinking of agreeing to a full refund if the other party didn't agree. He could only count himself unfortunate this time. He never imagined that the other party would really agree. When he glanced at the classroom's online enrollees, he no longer saw [Little Curly Curls].
There was even a virtual red packet attached to the private message that wrote, "Thank you teacher! You are a really good person!"
The teacher: "???"
Is there poison in this red packet?
Curly Hair didn't know what the former teacher was imagining. After exiting the classroom, Curly Hair clicked on the link the previous teacher had recommended and entered another online classroom.
The new classroom mainly targeted the upper secondary students. There were many people in this online classroom, and more than half had been attracted by the teacher's background and experience at a university that had many essays and lots of lecture videos. A large portion of the introductory web page displayed various awards and honors the teacher had received. These online classes were just a part-time job for him.
Parents were very satisfied with the awards and honors of this teacher, but students were different. They felt that listening to this teacher's lessons was very tiring. Every lesson touched on complex knowledge that left them blank ank unable to keep up, especially when the teacher threw out complicated and rare jargon that wasn't in their secondary school textbooks. Every concept and formula required a lot of time to absorb. There were also many questions that combined the covered material. The students simply couldn't keep up when the teacher spoke too quickly.
However, for Curly Hair, such content was easy to receive. Thus, after adapting for two days, Curly Hair once again started to hunger for more knowledge and had a debate with the teacher over his question response that was marked wrong.
After that, on his third day at this new class, Curly Hair was kicked.
The teacher had forcibly kicked him out of the classroom and left a message. "I will return the money. Leave."
Curly Hair left rather happily.
"You are a really great teacher for teaching without accepting payment!"
Fang Zhao said, "… The newly released 'New Reading Compilation' has good short essays. Go take a look at the first ten."
As before, Curly Hair still couldn't distinguish certain words and sentences. He was also unable to perceive some words with derogatory connotation. However, speech was fine for him. Outside, Curly Hair could listen to someone's tone, mood and body language to determine whether the other party had any malicious intent. However, Curly Hair was still particularly sluggish when facing written words.
While Curly Hair drooped his head and analyzed the short essays, Fang Zhao received a call from Mo Lang.
"The dissertation committee list has already been finalized. The time slot to to defend your thesis will also be set in the next few days. According to the sequence of submitted applications, you will be the first. Prepare early."
There was still time before the dissertation. However, Fang Zhao would the first postgraduate from the advanced studies course to defend his dissertation. Furthermore, there could also be pressure from various other sources, so Mo Lang was worried whether Fang Zhao would be nervous. It was easy to make mistakes during the dissertation defense if one was nervous. Thus, he had informed Fang Zhao beforehand so that Fang Zhao would be able to mentally prepare himself.
Fang Zhao wasn't nervous. The dissertation touched upon his thesis that was completely written by himself. Points that needed to be taken note of had already been discussed with Mo Lang already. Fang Zhao was sufficiently prepared.
Mo Lang then analyzed the dissertation committee chairperson and the members of the committee before hanging up.
Fang Zhao brought up his virtual calendar and checked his schedule. Nanfeng would indicate if there were any new work related matters or things to take notice of. However, there was a period coming up without any events. Many people knew that Fang Zhao would be defending his dissertation. They wouldn't seek him out if it wasn't anything important. Other small matters could be handled by Nanfeng on his own.
Fang Zhao marked out a row of dates on the calendar. This would probably be the period where he would defend his dissertation.
While he was doing so, he received another call notification.
Fang Zhao picked up the call and had yet to speak when the other party shouted, "Hello, Fang Zhao! It's me, Samoyed!"
Fang Zhao: "…."
What sort of stimulation had this Zaro child received recently?


"Every time background music plays in my head, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of." —Fang Zhao
Toward the end of the apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao lost his life. However, instead of dying, he found himself 500 years later in the body of a young and aspiring composer who shared the same name. Having received a second chance at life, Fang Zhao sets out to achieve the previous owner's dreams.
Armed with the experience of living through an apocalyptic age and his profession as a composer before that period, Fang Zhao uses his talent, wits, and knowledge to make his mark in the entertainment industry of the future.

"Sorry, I went out for too long!" Sofia said to her teammates before she occupied the seat next to Stephen. Her eyes quickly moved on the stage area and she saw the large screen also flashed all the list of squad winners on the elimination round.
"We almost called the security to look for you! Are you okay, Sof?" Stephen asked with a hint of concern in his voice. The rest of her team looked at her with the same inquisitive gaze.
Sofia smiled at them and replied, "I'm fine. There was a person that I have to give our contact for our squad to have advertising soon."
"Oh, you have talked to the media for sponsorships?" Joey inquired curiously. He somehow had an idea that some gamers would get sponsors and earn money.
"Not really, I just gave our contact details. There was no official agreement yet about sponsorship and branding yet." Sofia answered.
Claire slightly raised her arm and waved her hand towards the face of Sofia.
She then muttered, "You sound like you knew the procedure of the media people, Sof. If I don't know you for so long, I would think that you are a different person!"
"Hahaha, what different person? It's me! Recently, I have been reading the business magazine online so that we would be able to spend our prize in a more profitable way." Sofia cheekily said. She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked away. Reading business magazine online was a good alibi that she came up with as Claire knew that she paid so much attention in front of her computer.
"Tell me the article that you are reading online, Sof! Maybe you can forward me a link. I need to learn that also." Clark mentioned with a certain degree of eagerness in his tone.
"I can't remember which article it was. But if you search business-related magazine and profit, you'll be able to see it for sure." Sofia looked apologetic. She felt a pang of slight guilt for lying at Clark and her team. But, it was the only way she could think of.
"That sounds so ironic though! Spend our prize in a more profitable way? If we spend our money, then we lose it right?" Claire asked Sofia and also looked at the three men to seek an answer.
"We will lose our money so that it will make more money for us. There is a way to do spending money and receiving more than what we spend." Sofia explained.
"Then what are your plans for the prize?" Clark asked.
"We are still students, so, what we can do is to join profitable investments online and save the earning. But after we graduate, we will use the money to create a physical means to gain more money. I will explain everything later on." Sofia said. In her mind, the place was too inappropriate to conduct business proposals or business meetings. But, she had been planning the proposal even before the match. She just did not tell her members about the business plans in her mind for them to focus on the tournament solely.
"Okay, that sounds great! By the way, the FDSS Press Company was indeed doing live coverage of this tournament. And would you believe it if I told you that we are trending online?! This is crazy!" Clark's voice tuned up and told them of his discovery.
The group had been so engrossed with the game that they did not open their social media accounts.
Sofia was not also interested in social media, so, there was no way for her to be aware of the netizen's activities.
Only Clark was the first to take a peek as his brother sent him a message to check his account.
"You sound so hype! Let me see!" Joey said and leaned his face towards the mobile screen of Clark. He then stood straight and rubbed his eyes. "We are not only trending! We are viral top 1 topic?!" he announced in disbelief.
Stephen and Claire quickly opened their phone to see their ranking.
"We are! Wow! This is nice but, our standing is not yet stable. It is too early to celebrate. Let's secure the victory not only of the matches but also the entire tournament!" Claire clapped her hands and reminded the group not to feel overjoyed.
"Yes, that is only natural. I will not reply in the comments yet." Clark said however in his mobile screen that revealed his account, he had almost typed his 'thank you' and replied to the netizens.

"Dearest audience, we will have a 15 minutes break to give our operators and technical group to arrange the necessary cable connections for the next match. It will no longer be on a 40-Player map. The next round will be the usual 5 vs 5. One squad will fight another squad. Stay tuned!"
The event host took over the stage and announced that they would take a break for 15 minutes before the next elimination round would begin. 
The two commentators were long gone on their tables. They went to the staff room and started to discuss their feelings for the overall winning squads of the 40-Player map.
"This Chronos squad performance was great. But it is because of the no respawn rule inside the players  of the map. If their opponents were able to respawn, there was no way they could survive. I bet, they would be eliminated in the match first!" the older commentator glanced towards his partner.
"You got it right. And the social media had been down for about ten minutes because of this topic! This is just a district tournament! Even the tournaments of the regional, national, and international level have not gained this kind of public discussion!" the younger commentator pointed out. His eyes were looking at his mobile screen while he was completely astonished.
"Oh, they are indeed the hot topic in social media. The generations had really changed. Most of the netizens can now appreciate online gaming activities. Back in the days, I was labeled a nerd because I was playing a video game! I even felt embarrassed to be seen playing!" the older player did not shy away as he shared his past experience on playing video games.

"Yes, the new generations were inclined to play online games now. They even sprefer to socialize in game than in real life." the younger commentator expressed.

"I'll show you the ropes of how to build a company from scratch. Soon we will stand at the top."
