Chapter 64: Communication Preparation
"Hey, you're alive?"
After Lin Shiqin floated down and saw Li Yao, she also felt very alert and had a sense that her status was threatened.
However, he felt a little relieved when he realized that Li Yao was weaker than himself.
"Hello."
When Li Yao saw Lin Shiqin, he bowed slightly and greeted her.
Wang Yi saved his brother, gave him a new life, and also solved his obsession by taking revenge . At this time, Li Yao had entered a state of having no desires or demands, and all that was left was to complete the task assigned by his master.
It is true that summoned creatures are summoned creatures, but passively responding and actively using their brains are two completely different things.
"Didn't you say before that sometimes transoceanic network transmission would arouse some attention and vigilance? The Internet infrastructure was built by the other party, so it is normal to arrange another machine overseas. Some things can be handed over to Li Yao to handle."
After Wang Yi said this, Lin Shiqin became more relaxed and then said
"Can he do it? He has such a low soul strength."
"It won't be a big problem to build a better server. Besides, don't we have you here? We can support each other when necessary. Li Yao's focus is not on the server, but on other tasks. This is mainly to provide you with a layer of cover."
Compared to Lin Shiqin's concern, Li Yao didn't care. He was working for his boss now anyway. Having experienced the loss of humanity, he seemed to be more cold at this moment.
"In that case, do you want to go out? Do you need to use those invitations?"
"Well, let's use an academic lecture. I'll hold one just for you. The location... let's choose the University of Pennsylvania."
In fact, if you really want to choose a university, Princeton is more suitable for academic lectures on number theory. The academic atmosphere there is stronger. In comparison, Penn has a much stronger commercial atmosphere.
However, Penn is the first school to support Wang Yi through the Internet, and Penn is located in Philadelphia, which makes it convenient for Wang Yi to perform some subsequent operations.
"Also help me find some people in Philadelphia who have passports, no criminal records, and are damned."
"Their surveillance is not as widespread as in China, and it's very troublesome not to have a criminal record~"
"I trust you."
"Humph, you really know how to order people around~"
Although Wang Yi considers himself not a good person, he still restrains himself when he is in China.
But when you are abroad, there is no need to care so much.
No evidence, no crime. This is the characteristic of the United States, isn't it?
…
Fang Chuan knew that he was being used as a gun.
But looking at the aggressive navy, he also knew that he had no choice but to admit defeat!
This is an open conspiracy pushed by someone in secret. If I go along with it, I can increase my influence in a short period of time. But if I continue to play dead, my base will be shaken.
Out of desperation, he had no choice but to raise the banner.
However, because he had explored the external network himself, he did not make any low-level mistakes. Instead, he took the initiative to help Wang Yi list the comments, estimated sales, income, etc. on the external network, and chose a new and unique angle.
"Dear netizens, please don't follow the pace of those self-media. In fact, Minecraft is very popular abroad. Several major game review sites have given it very high praise . If it continues to follow this trend, it is not impossible for it to become the number one PC game this year!"
Fang Chuan actually jumped out to help Wang Yi wash. This magical operation really made many people astonished.
This is the number one stubborn talker in the world. It's impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, after disguising himself as a friendly force and spreading a piece of news that would eventually explode, Fang Chuan revealed his true purpose.
"In terms of income alone, Master Yi has earned more money in just a few days than an ordinary person can earn in several lifetimes, and has directly become a wealthy man. With this money, Master Yi, please concentrate on academic studies, stop being distracted, and stop squandering your talent."
There is no attack, it is just a kind of exhortation, a persuasion from a moral high ground.
Combined with the navy that is now kidnapping him, it truly is a torrent.
At this time, Penguin also announced in a high-profile manner
"We are willing to pay a billion yuan premium to buy all the copyrights of 'Minecraft' so that Master Yi can focus on academic research."
What is Penguin? Why would they say they would spend a billion just to buy a game?
Is this crazy?!
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar.
What does a billion mean? A high-paid talent with an annual salary of one million would need a thousand years without eating or drinking to earn that much money!
But this is just a game that has been around for a few days?
At this time, no matter how strong Wang Yi's aura is, there will definitely be people who can't help but be drawn into the rhythm.
A billion is not enough for you, what else do you want to do? Do you want to go to heaven?
There was a news report about a professor couple who still lived in an old house and rode bicycles to go out. They donated tens of millions of yuan, which actually caused some people to question the source of the funds. It turned out that all the funds were the result of their research.
They are just used to a hard life and since they have no place to spend the money, they choose to donate it all.
Wang Yi has earned 1 billion in such a short period of time. He is so young and it was all thanks to games.
Naturally, you will receive all kinds of irrational comments.
"What is the game for?"
“This is ruining our children!”
"What on earth do you, a mathematician, want to do with something like this?"
"A billion isn't enough for you, right?"
Of course, there are also many rational netizens who directly confronted each other.
In fact, what the promoters want is just this effect, to create public pressure to force the other party to withdraw!
Take the money and retire!
Are they at a premium now?
Of course it is a premium at the moment, but Penguin has done an analysis and it is definitely profitable in the long run, and many derivative products can also be developed.
It can also win the ticket to conquer foreign markets.
Now, it depends on whether Wang Yi can withstand the pressure. Although I admit that you have made great achievements, you are just a young man.
Let's talk business, you're in the way!
At this time, Wang Yi had just finalized his overseas trip through Lin Shiqin.
For Penn, of course they were delighted that such a thing could happen to them.
It is true that they focus more on business, but as an institution of higher learning, they will never miss such an opportunity to show off their reputation, and they are even considering giving Wang Yi the status of "honorary professor".
In fact, many winners of international awards have many titles such as "honorary professor", which can be regarded as a kind of conventional way to gain popularity.
So the first to respond to online public opinion this time was the official microblog of the Academy of Sciences.
“Who says mathematicians can’t develop games?”
After saying that, he posted some emails sent by the University of Pennsylvania regarding the connection. This time, the connection was made directly in the name of the Academy of Sciences, which not only brought honor to the Academy of Sciences, but also made the handling of various official procedures more convenient.
"They can develop games while going abroad and plant our flag on their high ground!"
Subsequently, a media account affiliated with a certain official media also spoke out
"For top talents, we need to respect their choices instead of restricting their development."
Good man, who dares to explode?
Penguin restrained its subsequent tweets, and even the internet trolls softened their tone.
At this time, Wang Yi casually replied on Weibo:
"I won't sell the game. It's just my hobby. Don't measure it with money."
It was a very annoying statement, but no one refuted it.
In the end, Penguin could only sigh and issued an official statement that they hoped there would be a chance for cooperation next time.
But then, they also began to urgently develop similar competing products.
We are not plagiarizing, we just want to force the great mathematicians to go back to doing mathematics.
And we will change the game content, we are just borrowing the gameplay...
