Lin You opened his eyes and saw Princess Cixia, sitting beside him, also open her eyes. The excitement from the game hadn’t subsided yet, but her expression had already calmed down.
She had once again transformed into that poised and graceful lady, as if the startled little girl in the game was merely a hallucination Lin You had experienced.
At this moment, she carefully removed the head ring, holding it in her hands and examining it again.
She had already been surprised in the game world, but after actually playing for a few hours, her surprise hadn’t faded; instead, the shock felt even clearer and more vivid.
She first opened the door and whispered something to her bodyguard, then returned and looked at Lin You, asking incredulously, “This… you made this in less than a week?”
“Yeah, it was pretty time-consuming.” Lin You nodded.
Zhu Cixia was speechless. Just time-consuming??
Such a breakthrough technology, shouldn’t it be the result of a world-class high-end laboratory, countless researchers spending half their lives to achieve? You did this alone, and it was just “time-consuming”?
Are you even human?
The Princess’s shock was indescribable. She took several deep breaths before sincerely praising, “It’s truly unbelievable, magical technology! Lin You, you’ve achieved an unprecedented major technological breakthrough. Once this technology is released, you will amaze the whole world!”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Looking at the Princess’s admiring gaze, Lin You couldn’t deny feeling pleased.
And he had reason to be pleased.
He hadn’t just received this technology and left it untouched in his mind.
These days, while working on the game, he had also been practicing day and night, and now he had completely mastered this knowledge. Even without Xiaomeng, he could create a set of equipment and systems anytime, it would just take a little longer.
However, time was limited, and Princess Cixia had other engagements, so he didn’t waste time and directly asked the Princess, “Zhu Cixia, could you introduce me to your bodyguard?”
“Jian Ge? What do you want to know him for?” Zhu Cixia felt very puzzled.
Along with the puzzlement, there was a little nervousness: Does he want to know my future schedule? What does he want to do? Unfortunately, Lin You couldn’t read minds and couldn’t guess what little Zhu was thinking.
He answered directly, “I’m also making a shooting game. To make it realistic, I want to learn about shooting, but I don’t know anything about it, so I want to find a professional to learn from. Your bodyguard looks very professional!”
“Oh oh! I understand, I’ll call him in.” Zhu Cixia escaped to the door, still berating herself: What are you thinking! So unreserved!
At the door, she still felt her face burning. She stood there, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
Lin You saw the Princess standing at the door, neither speaking nor opening the door, feeling a little puzzled.
Fortunately, the Princess, true to her upbringing, quickly calmed down. She opened the door and called the bodyguard in, introducing him to Lin You.
“This is Jian Ge, he’s been protecting me since I was a child.”
After introducing the bodyguard to Lin You, she looked at the bodyguard and said seriously, “Jian Ge, this is Lin You. Don’t let his age fool you; he just made a completely new technological breakthrough, and it’s undoubtedly at least a generation ahead of the world. You can treat him as a top scientist, he needs your help.”
Zhu Cixia knew Lin You would soon release this technology. And this level of technology, once released, would inevitably shock the entire country, even the globe, like a thunderbolt!
Anyone who uses the internet, whether actively or passively, would know this name.
So she didn’t keep it a secret from Lin You.
Jian Xingde, in a black suit and sunglasses that he didn’t even remove upon entering the room, initially only glanced at Lin You through his sunglasses, judging that there was no threat before habitually scanning the entire room.
Only after hearing the Princess’s words did he refocus his gaze, remove his sunglasses, and seriously look at the student in front of him.
A few days ago, the Princess was about to go to extra dance training, but suddenly changed her mind and bought a lot of equipment and materials, and he followed her all the way here and saw this college student.
He hadn’t taken it too seriously because he knew that although the Princess was kind and polite to everyone, she was very cautious about making friends.
But the Princess’s words were like a meteorite falling, causing a huge wave in his heart, instantly overturning all his previous impressions.
He had a clear concept of a “world-class scientist.”
In his concept, a world-class scientist = a small villa + a bulletproof car + a 24-hour on-call helicopter + 1 top personal bodyguard + 5 close-range bodyguards + a logistics team + a one-kilometer early warning mechanism.
These were just what he knew.
This was because in the long wars of various countries before, the kidnapping and assassination of scientific and technological personnel were no less than that of officials, so the security level was always very high.
Although the war has stopped for many years, the security for ordinary scientific researchers has been basically cancelled, but the security measures for top scientists have not been reduced much.
In other words, the security level that this student should enjoy is probably higher than the Princess’! He felt a lot of pressure! He really wanted to go out and check the surroundings for any safety hazards.
“Hello, Lin You.” Lin You took the initiative to extend his hand.
“Hello, Jian Xingde.” The bodyguard tried to remain calm as he shook hands with Lin You. “What can I help you with?”
“It’s like this, I’m making a shooting game, but I don’t have any relevant experience, and I want to ask you, a professional, where I can learn about shooting and practice my marksmanship.”
“???” Jian Xingde still kept a straight face, but he was already full of question marks. “You’re not doing research, you’re addicted to making games? Besides, why do you need to practice marksmanship to make games?”
Shouldn’t firing a couple of shots and experiencing it be enough?
“Yes, it’s very important.” Lin You emphasized the word “important,” expressing his affirmation.
Jian Xingde looked at the Princess again, and the Princess nodded.
“Okay, I’ll be off duty the day after tomorrow, and I’ll take you to the shooting range in the morning.”
“Where should we meet?” Lin You thought it was best not to go too far.
He had already planned to release the video directly. It wasn’t because he was worried about unforeseen circumstances; with cross-generational technology in hand, even if he gave NetDragon ten more years, they wouldn’t be able to catch up. He could sleep soundly.
He just didn’t want to delay any longer. He wasn’t a very hardworking and diligent person; on the contrary, he preferred to be lazy and play around.
But now he couldn’t even leave the house, he would be blocked on the road if he went far.
So he wanted to quickly deal with this mess, then earn a lot of money, and move out of this twenty-square-meter small room.
But he also knew that once the video was released, he would once again be in the spotlight, and it would be five or ten times more intense than it is now.
So he still needed to disguise himself when he went out the day after tomorrow, and he wasn’t sure how far his disguise would get him.
Fortunately, the reliable bodyguard immediately dispelled his worries, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, don’t go out casually.”
Jian Xingde couldn’t possibly let such a precious person run around alone!
“Okay, it’s a deal!” Lin You was instantly happy that he didn’t have to walk himself and would have someone pick him up.
“Help me with one more thing.” Lin You remembered the video he wanted to shoot, and happily conscripted him.
