First Project

"Luna," Lin Yun began, his voice echoing in the vastness of the DDL space, "I'd like to change the environment. Could you create a beach for me?"

A playful glint sparkled in Luna's eyes. "Of course, Master. Do you have any particular beach in mind?"

Lin Yun closed his eyes, picturing a scene from his memories - a secluded cove on a tropical island, white sand stretching out to meet the turquoise water, palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. "Something like that," he said, opening his eyes expectantly.

The transformation was instantaneous. The sterile white expanse dissolved, replaced by the idyllic beach scene he had envisioned. The warmth of the sun on his skin, the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore, and the salty tang of the ocean air filled his senses.

Lin Yun was surprised. He could feel the sand between his toes, the cool water swirling around his ankles. He could even smell the subtle fragrance of the tropical flowers blooming nearby.

"This is... unbelievable," he murmured, his voice filled with awe. "It feels so real."

Luna chuckled softly. "The DDL space is designed to provide a fully immersive learning experience, Master. All your senses are engaged, allowing you to interact with the environment in a natural and intuitive way."

Lin Yun nodded, his mind still reeling from the sensory overload. He took a deep breath, savoring the fresh ocean air. This was the perfect setting for his next task.

"Luna," he said, turning to his AI guide, "I'd like to create a financial management program, something similar to QuickBooks from my previous world."

Luna smiled. "That's a good start, Master. I have no doubt you're capable of achieving it."

With a wave of her hand, a familiar sight materialized before Lin Yun - his old computer desk, complete with the beige computer and printer he had purchased just a few days ago.

"This should provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your coding endeavors," Luna explained.

Lin Yun smiled gratefully. He sat down at the desk, his fingers itching to start working.

"Now, Master," Luna continued, "to assist you in this endeavor, I have prepared a comprehensive set of resources. You will find all the necessary programming languages, software development tools, and financial modeling frameworks at your disposal."

As she spoke, a vast library of digital information appeared on the computer screen. Rows upon rows of icons represented various programming languages, libraries, and development environments.

Lin Yun was surprised. The sheer volume of resources available was overwhelming, but also incredibly exciting. He had everything he needed to bring his vision to life.

"Thank you, Luna," he said, his voice filled with gratitude.

Luna nodded. "It is my pleasure, Master. Now, let your creativity flow and your brilliance shine."

With a deep breath, Lin Yun opened an integrated development environment (IDE) called "Megasoft Visual Studio," its interface a familiar blend of simplicity and functionality. He began to type, his fingers dancing across the keyboard with practiced ease.

Lines of code flowed onto the screen, each one a building block in the foundation of his financial management program. He drew upon his vast knowledge of accounting principles and software development, seamlessly blending them into a cohesive whole.

He envisioned a program that would empower individuals and businesses to take control of their finances, providing them with the tools and insights they needed to make informed decisions. He wanted to create a program that was not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly.

Hours turned into days as Lin Yun poured his heart and soul into his project. He worked tirelessly, fueled by his passion and determination. He encountered challenges along the way, but he overcame them with perseverance and ingenuity.

Luna was always there to offer guidance and support, her insights proving invaluable. She helped him refine his code, optimize his algorithms, and streamline his user interface.

Soon, 80 hours had passed, and it was time for Lin Yun to wake up. Under Luna's farewell, Lin Yun opened his eyes and got up from his bed with full energy.

"It's amazing." Lin Yun sighed softly. He had obviously been coding for 80 hours straight in the DDL space, and it hadn't affected his body at all. He felt as if he had had the best 8 hours of sleep in his life.

"As expected from the golden finger. It's really heaven-defying." He muttered as he walked into the bathroom.

He put on the school uniform and went to the living room on the first floor.

"Morning, Mom, Dad." Lin Yun greeted his parents and sat at the dining table.

"It seems you haven't stayed up late last night." Lin Canghai glanced at his son and continued to read the newspaper.

Lin Yun chuckled and enjoyed his porridge. After breakfast, Lin Yun helped his parents in the store and left for school.

"Brother Yun!" Pan Wei greeted Lin Yun excitedly as he entered the classroom.

Lin Yun nodded and sat down on his seat. "What's up? Why are you so excited?"

"You don't know?" Pan Wei asked in disbelief.

"Know what?" Lin Yun was puzzled.

"There was a new game released yesterday. It's really popular!" Pan Wei quickly explained. "It's called Whack Man. I want to play it, but I don't know where I can buy it."

"Whack Man?" Lin Yun was surprised. "What is that?"

"We play as Whack Man to eat all the food to pass the stage," Pan Wei explained. "I want to play it, but the internet is too slow. I haven't finished downloading it yet."

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment and soon realized Pan Wei was talking about Pac Man. It was one of the earliest popular games available.

He suddenly had an idea. Perhaps he could make a simple game and sell it to earn money and Technology Points.

Lin Yun looked at Pan Wei and said, "Well, you should focus on studying first. You can play it after the exam. There will be plenty of time then."

Pan Wei's excitement immediately died down as he reluctantly responded, "I know, Brother Yun."

At that moment, Xu Qing walked into the room with a stack of papers in her hand. She cleared her throat, her voice commanding attention.

"Class," she began, "I have the results of the mock exam."

A hush fell over the room as the students held their breath in anticipation.

Xu Qing scanned the papers. "I'm pleased to announce that we have a perfect score in our class," she said, her voice filled with pride.

"What!? A perfect score?"

The students gasped, their eyes darting around the room, trying to guess who the top scorer was.

Xu Qing paused dramatically, savoring the moment. "The student who achieved this remarkable feat is..."

She looked up, her gaze settling on Lin Yun. "Lin Yun!"

"I knew it!"

"Yeah. Who else could it be besides Brother Lin?"

A wave of cheers and applause erupted from the students.

"Congratulations, Lin Yun!" Xu Qing exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "You've made us all proud."

Lin Yun stood up and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your teachings, Teacher Xu. Thank you, everyone."
