Chapter 15: The Verse Where Dreams Begin, Hello World. (1/2)

“Yaoyao, this matter involves a man’s dignity, you mustn’t interfere.”

“I’ll go first.”

“I’ll bring you delicious food every day from now on. By the way, have you decided on your college preferences? Let me know when you do, I want to apply to the same university as you.”

Wang Qiang said goodbye to Shen Lingyao with a smile, holding his basketball, and left.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, he turned back to shout at Zhao Qingfeng, glaring fiercely.

You little brat.

Daring to flaunt your love in front of me, I’ll make you pay!

Zhao Qingfeng looked back calmly.

After Wang Qiang left.

Shen Lingyao, clenching her fists nervously, said angrily, “Brother Qingfeng, don’t be afraid! I’ll go find Teacher Yan right away, I won’t let him touch a hair on your head!”

Zhao Qingfeng couldn’t let her get involved.

After all, this matter might involve issues like puppy love, and notifying a teacher would only make things worse.

He found an excuse, “I’ll talk to him myself. If you go, won’t that just confirm our early romance?”

Shen Lingyao’s face turned red, “Who’s in a puppy love? I’m not with you, I’m just taking care of my deskmate, you ugly monster!”

Zhang Yang looked on with envy.

Anyone could see Shen Lingyao’s concern.

The three quickly returned to the classroom.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Yang came over again, “Brother Zhao, if it’s really hard, should I go talk to him? We occasionally play basketball together, maybe I can persuade him. If not, we’ll have to fight him. But he’s so strong, even the two of us combined might not be a match for him.”

“Basketball? You two are kind of close, right? I get it.”

“You sure about this?”

“Yeah, remember, we need to use our brains more in the future, not just resort to fighting.”

………………….

After Zhang Yang returned to his seat.

Zhao Qingfeng checked his pockets.

Shen Lingyao’s birthday was in a few days, and he obviously had to prepare a gift.

But all he had was three yuan and fifty cents.

That was all his pocket money.

So.

Besides the trivial matters at school, earning some money was of utmost importance.

He knew that people could only make money in fields they were familiar with.

With that thought.

His mind quickly drifted to the field of electronic computing of this era.

2001.

The hottest game was undoubtedly ‘Legend of Mir’, developed in Korea. Initially, it performed poorly in Korea.

If he remembered correctly.

‘Legend of Mir’ was introduced by Shanda in July 2001, had its beta testing in early August, and officially launched in mainland China in mid-September.

Thanks to early advertising.

‘Legend of Mir’ became an instant hit upon release, leading to packed internet cafes. Ninety percent of players were grinding in the Skeleton Dungeon, with many staying up all night. Even Zhang Yang secretly bought a lot of game cards and even got a ‘Judgment’ weapon.

But.

The players were just one part of it.

After the public beta.

Studios emerged, making a living by leveling up characters, trading equipment, and selling gold in ‘Legend of Mir’.

According to incomplete statistics.

There were at least two thousand professional gold farming studios nationwide.

The ‘Legend of Mir’ craze indirectly impacted China’s overall economy.

The CEO of Shanda even became the richest man thanks to this game.

And for Zhao Qingfeng, this matter also related to Liu Ruoxin’s father’s business.

Thinking of Liu Ruoxin, a cold smile formed on Zhao Qingfeng’s lips.
