A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 502 Internet Era

Before six in the evening, Lin Jingyi received a call from home: "Jingjing, don't you only have two classes in the afternoon? Why haven't you come back yet? Do you want Dad to pick you up?"

"No need, Dad. I'm just taking a walk by Xuanwu Lake. I'll be back in the evening. It won't delay dinner."

"Okay, then be careful on the road. There are a lot of bad guys out there now, so you have to be careful. Come back early, your mom made your favorite shrimp dumplings and sweet and sour pork ribs."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jingyi glanced at Lu Cheng on the other side: "I...I'll go back first."

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Leaving the alley where Lu Cheng's home was, feeling the evening breeze, the two of them rode their bicycles at a very slow pace, as if neither of them wanted to separate.

But Lu Cheng's home is only two or three kilometers away from Lin Jingyi's home, and they arrived there in no time.

When they were almost at the community, Lin Jingyi suddenly saw her father watching people playing chess at the gate of the community, and she quickly stopped the car: "Lu Cheng, my dad is there."

"Then I'll go back first. See you later."

"Wait a minute...you...are you always at home on holidays?"

"Not necessarily. I might go out to do something."

"Oh. Then when you are free, can I come and play with you?"

"Of course, you are always welcome."

After waving goodbye to Lin Jingyi who was reluctant to leave, Lu Cheng's heart was also filled with waves.

Traveling to this world and returning to the age of eighteen is equivalent to living his life again. Lu Cheng wanted to be free and easy and have a good time. Based on the principle of "don't disappoint good girls and don't waste bad girls", he spent a colorful university life.

But the appearance of Lin Jingyi made Lu Cheng hesitate again. He was worried whether he would let down such a pure and innocent love, a good girl who only cared about him in her eyes and heart.

Therefore, although Lu Cheng knew Lin Jingyi's feelings for him, he never broke the window paper.

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "Am I really a scumbag?"

After returning home, Lu Cheng had a simple meal and then opened his laptop to get busy.

As early as noon, Lu Cheng contacted the network cable operator and prepared to install the network cable at home early the next morning.

These days, it costs 512 yuan per month to install a 120K network cable, and 1 megabit network speed costs 168 yuan per month. Compared with the current price and wage levels, it is really not low.

Of course, no matter how expensive it is, Lu Cheng still has to install an Internet cable.

For the whole night, Lu Cheng did nothing else but used the future tablet computer carried in the cross-border backpack to automatically generate a suitable antivirus software based on the current computer configuration.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng made simple optimizations to the generated antivirus software to make it more in line with the technological level of this era.

He will have to operate many things on the computer in the future, and Lu Cheng is not very confident about the security system in computers of this era.

The next morning, the guy who installed the broadband was busy for a long time and finally got internet access to Lu Cheng's home.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng began to check the stock market trends at home and abroad, and compared them with the information recorded in the cross-border tablet to determine that the current world stock market trend was roughly the same as the trend in the parallel world during the same period.

In the parallel world that also takes modern cities as its background, although there are some differences in individual details, the overall trends are basically the same.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng set some indicators and wrote a small program to selectively screen some stocks with potential. He made simple predictions and compared them with the historical records of the parallel world again. After confirming that there was basically no difference, Lu Cheng prepared to make money in the stock market.

The year 2002 was a very special year. Due to the bursting of the Internet economic bubble abroad, the overall environment of the entire Internet industry was relatively sluggish. Even future Internet giants such as Alibaba had a difficult time in the second half of the year.

If Lu Cheng has enough funds on hand now, perhaps he can get in touch with future giants such as Pony Ma at the end of the year, and maybe he can get some shares in advance and achieve financial freedom.

After studying the situations in various industries, Lu Cheng visited the Tianya community where many experts gathered and got some useful information.

Inadvertently, Lu Cheng came across a post that promoted the recent popular game "Legend".

The game "Legend" can be said to be the memory of a generation in the future, and it is also a milestone game that opened the era of Chinese online games.

Before this, computer games in China were mainly stand-alone games, and online games were rare.

In 2001, the legendary game was born in South Korea and was introduced to China in the same year. In the following years, the boss of Shanda Games quickly became famous with this game and became the number one on the Internet.

It can be said that the Internet industry at this time is a blue ocean and a huge gold mountain.

In September 2001, the boss of Shanda Games took a gamble and spent 30 US dollars to become the agent of Legend of Mir 2003. By 6.33, within just two years, Shanda's revenue reached 3 million, of which the net profit was as high as million.

After tasting the sweetness brought by games, Shanda successively became the agent for many games and developed some games independently.

By 2004, Shanda Games was listed on the NASDAQ in the United States. Its market value skyrocketed instantly, and Boss Chen was crowned the richest man in China.

It is said that two sensational news stories broke out later: a female player was willing to sell herself for a magic shield in the legendary game, and a game dealer who specialized in reselling equipment in the game went to Shanda Group to commit suicide because the equipment he bought was judged to be a copy of a plug-in.

It can be said that Shanda opened the era of online games in China and also created countless young people addicted to the Internet.

Lu Cheng spent the entire afternoon surfing the Internet in front of the computer, writing down every piece of useful information he obtained, and further organizing his thoughts and thinking about future plans.

If you want to start with software, input methods, translation software, and online games are all good choices.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng turned on the advanced quick tablet computer, called up the intelligent software system with voice, and began to set various parameters and requirements according to the current technical level, allowing the system to automatically generate the software framework.

Lu Cheng once lived in the 22nd century. The tablet computer in the cross-border space also represents the highest technological level of the future, which includes advanced artificial intelligence systems, various auxiliary tools, and so on.

If software developers have such a powerful auxiliary tool in their hands, they can definitely generate software according to requirements in a fool-proof manner.

But precisely because this tablet is too advanced and has a technological gap of a hundred years compared to the era back then, directly generating software of this era would be somewhat imperfect and would require Lu Cheng to modify and improve it.

With level eight computer skills and the assistance of a cross-border tablet, Lu Cheng's work efficiency is comparable to that of one of the most professional technical teams of this era.

A few days later, Lin Jingyi's notebook already had three new software prototypes, a Chinese intelligent input method software, a simple Chinese-English translation software, and a very familiar game "KartRider".

The input method software and translation software need to be connected to and complete the corresponding database, so they can only be tried out for the time being. As for the KartRider, you can also start trying it out.

Although the three software are still in their infancy, they can already be used to discuss business.

Of course, these three software prototypes were also subjected to the most stringent encryption by Lu Cheng.
