March 22nd, 4 PM. The warm early spring sun shone into the office on the 38th floor of the Jade Building.
Shi Lei sat on the leather sofa and sipped on a cup of tea.
His gaze passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling window and gazed into the distance as if he was thinking about his future.
The sun shone on Shi Lei's face, and a warm smile appeared on his face. The corners of his mouth curved up, and his eyes were filled with happiness.
"Big penguin, Ma Huateng, you guys are really good people!" Shi Lei said softly as he put down the tea in his hand.
In the future, Crossing the Line of Fire would earn billions of dollars annually.
Shi Lei extorted 150 million from the big penguin in exchange for a stable operating environment for Crossing the Line of Fire. Although it seemed a little irrational and disadvantageous, Shi Lei had his own plans.
If there were no external interference, Crossing the Line of Fire could earn billions of dollars annually in the next few years.
However, would Shi Lei, who knew about the future, allow Crossing the Line of Fire to monopolize it?
The answer was, of course, no!
From the very beginning, Shi Lei didn't want to completely destroy Crossing the Line of Fire. He only planned to extort the big penguin for a little extra profit.
Crossing the Line of Fire was the big penguin's money-making machine. Shi Lei also needed Crossing the Line of Fire to help him promote first-person shooter online games and let players accept this type of game.
Once Crossing the Line of Fire was successfully promoted, Shi Lei wouldn't hesitate to reap the fruits of victory from the big penguin.
Dream Entertainment's first game was the Brave World, and it was about to be submitted for review.
With such an excellent somatosensory operating system, would they only develop one somatosensory manipulation game?
The Brave World's historical background was based on the ancient Xia Xia genre and combined with Wuxia elements to create an ancient Wuxia world.
Although many Xia Xia players liked this type of game, there were also players who didn't like it, especially foreign players. Most foreign players didn't like it at all.
Based on this fact, Shi Lei already had a plan in mind. He wanted to create a gunfight game with a modern city as the background.
Shi Lei planned to name the game 'Age of War'!
The development of the Hero's World was divided into three parts, which were jointly developed by Dream Entertainment, Yuquan International, and Jinshan Entertainment.
This was because Dream Entertainment didn't have enough strength back then, so they had no choice but to do so.
There was no way to guarantee the confidentiality of the game when it was developed by multiple teams.
After the World of the Bravehearts went public, Dream Entertainment would expand their staff on a large scale and develop 'War Age' with their own research and development capabilities.
Shi Lei estimated that it would take at least a year to get past the frontline and enter the profit-making stage, especially with the Hero's World's interference.
This period of time was more than enough for Dream Entertainment to develop Age of War. Then, with the help of the mature player market cultivated by Transmigration Frontline, as well as the excellent simulation platform of Brave World, Age of War would mercilessly destroy Transmigration Frontline, completely destroying the entire first-person shooter game landscape, and become a dominant player.
This was Shi Lei's ultimate goal!
Shi Lei leaned back on the leather sofa, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in his fantasy world. However, his phone suddenly rang, interrupting Shi Lei's thoughts.
The caller ID showed that it was Li Chai. Shi Lei pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said casually, "Little Li Chai, if you have something to report, I'll report. If not, I'm dismissed!"
Li Chai didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, "Stone Head, you're still in the mood to joke?
Let me tell you a secret. Teacher Li seems to be going on a blind date. "
"What?" Shi Lei still didn't understand what was going on with Li Chai's shock!
"Stone Head, I just overheard Professor Li Kunning on the phone. It seems to be about arranging a blind date for Teacher Li Zhiyue."
Li Chai laughed strangely and teased, "Stone Head, if you don't care about Teacher Li Zhiyue, then pretend I didn't say anything!
Bye bye, Stone Head, I still have a project to study! "
"F * ck!
Little Li, if you dare hang up the phone, I'll make you the last eunuch of Xia Xia! "
Shi Lei roared, and then hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me the whole story."
Li Chai was joking, and he didn't really want to hang up the phone. He quickly told him the story.
It turned out that during the afternoon class, Li Chai was working on an experiment project in Li Kunning's laboratory.
At that time, Li Kunning walked in from outside the laboratory while talking on the phone.
There was only Li Chai in the laboratory. Li Kunning seemed to be focused on talking on the phone and ignored Li Chai's presence.
From Li Chai's analysis, on the 25th of March, Li Kunning had arranged a blind date for Li Zhiyue, but Li Zhiyue didn't go.
Li Kunning was very angry about this, and he stubbornly postponed the blind date until after school this afternoon. He also gave Li Zhiyue a strict order that she must attend the blind date, or he would cut off their father-daughter relationship.
After listening to Li Chai's story, Shi Lei sighed. Li Zhiyue was very filial. She had a dream in her heart, which was her father's dream. She wanted to cultivate a genius who could win the Nobel Prize for Xia Xia.
How could a girl who treated her father's dream as her own, withstand the threat of cutting off their father-daughter relationship?
Professor Li, you tricked me in my previous life, and you still won't let me go in this life? Shi Lei smiled bitterly in his heart.
In his previous life, his relationship with Li Zhiyue had been stopped by Li Kunning, and it had ended without a result.
Was the tragedy going to repeat itself in this life?
Shi Lei didn't want to give up on Li Zhiyue!
"Xiao Li, did you hear the location?" Shi Lei asked the key question.
"Ahem, Stone Head, Professor Li seemed to be very cautious of me. When he found out that I was in the laboratory, he immediately walked into the office.
But I saw his lips through the window when he was talking. It should be a western restaurant.
I'm not good at lip reading, so I can't make an accurate judgment, "Li Chai said awkwardly.
Shi Lei knew how to read lips, and Li Chai had also taught himself this very practical skill.
Shi Lei frowned. "Okay, Xiao Li, thanks for your help this time. I'll go investigate the western restaurant first, and I'll treat you to a meal next time!"
After that, Shi Lei hung up the phone without waiting for Li Chai's reply. He didn't put down the phone, but pressed the number "5" and connected to Izur.
"Izur, investigate all the western restaurants in Shuanghu District.
Also, gather all the surveillance cameras and lock onto Li Zhiyue's location, "Shi Lei ordered with a cold face.
There were more than 1.6 million surveillance cameras in Shuanghu City, and they were all under the control of Izur. It wasn't difficult to find Li Zhiyue's whereabouts.
"Sir, through the police network, we've found a total of 24 western restaurants registered in Shuanghu District.
We've confirmed the location of the target, Li Zhiyue, and she's on the way to Shuanghu University. According to the trajectory prediction, Li Zhiyue will return to the teacher's office, "Izur replied quickly.
With the supercomputer Genesis as the main server, Izur's processing speed was much faster than when he used server number one as the main server.
After finding Li Zhiyue's location, Shi Lei let out a sigh of relief. As long as Li Zhiyue hadn't left yet, Shi Lei could follow her at any time.
"Izur, maintain the status of detecting Li Zhiyue's location at all times."
Shi Lei wasn't a crazy monitoring maniac. Under normal circumstances, although Shi Lei ordered Izur to protect Li Zhiyue and the others, he didn't order him to monitor them.
This time, he used Izual to monitor the whole process. He wanted to see who was the one who dared to mess with him and try to steal his people.
"Sir, the number of surveillance cameras in Shuanghu District can't cover the entire area. We might lose the target's location," Izur reminded him.
Izur mainly used the road surveillance system, the public safety camera system, and the secret security surveillance system as the information collection port.
If certain areas didn't have the corresponding surveillance cameras, Izur wouldn't be able to control the corresponding situation.
"Mark all the surveillance blank areas. Once the target enters the blank area, mobilize all the cameras around the blank area and closely monitor whether the target re-enters the area," Shi Lei adjusted the strategy for Izur.
Izur couldn't monitor the blank areas.
However, Izur could use the surrounding cameras to lock onto the blank areas and determine whether Li Zhiyue re-entered the area or not.
Although this method couldn't accurately determine Li Zhiyue's location, it could at least determine the general location.
At 5: 30 in the afternoon, Li Zhiyue left Shuanghu University. She got into a taxi at the school gate and drove towards the Cui Hu Business District.
"Sir, the target's car plate number has been identified!"
All the surveillance cameras in Shuanghu City were only equipped with the motion capture program. However, Izur could control the text recognition engine and the motion recognition engine to create a comprehensive motion recognition engine.
Through the comprehensive motion recognition engine, they could completely identify the car plate number and track it.
On the 38th floor of the Jadeite Building, in Shi Lei's office, the monitor didn't show the surveillance footage. Instead, it showed the GPS map information.
The partial map of Shuanghu District was displayed on the screen. A red dot was constantly flashing. It represented the taxi that Li Zhiyue was in.
After about seven or eight minutes, the taxi stopped. It didn't go out of the surveillance area. Izur immediately retrieved the location where the taxi stopped.
"Fermila Western Restaurant?" Shi Lei's eyes revealed a hint of a cold smile.
Fermila Western Restaurant was only a three-minute drive from the Jadeite Building. Shi Lei wanted to see who his love rival was!
