Chapter 1.17 – He Seem To Miss The Target

Editor: Dragon_ Reader

Lu Hongming’s days were not good. First, his eldest son, Lu Hai maliciously plotted to frame his youngest son and his company. This resulted in the Lushi group being sued in court, triggering dissatisfaction within the board of directors.

After he finally bailed out Lu Hai, it became his wife, Zhao Yunzhi’s turn to go into prison. They said that it was related to his late wife’s accident. Being caught up in a murder case, the company’s image suffered greatly and the board also took this opportunity to create trouble. They voted for Lu Hai to resign as the vice-president of the company. If it were not for the fact that he held the majority of shares of the company, they may have even pushed for this chairman to resign.

His ex-wife had passed away many years ago, but the case was suddenly re-opened. In addition, the board of directors was also actively creating more trouble. Even if someone told him that it was not Lu Ze’s doing, Lu Hongming would not believe it.

In his opinion, Lu Ze was driven out of the house because of his homosexuality. What did it have to do with the pair of mother and son? That unfilial son, even if he f*cks another man, he still remained unrepentant after being expelled.

However, the problem had to be solved. Tianchen had already brought Lu Shi to court. If it was not settled, Lu Hai would likely face imprisonment. There was also Yun Zhi who was always so gentle and kind. How could she possibly do something like hire a killer?

Lu Hongming intended to talk with Lu Ze, but after seeing Xiang Han in his office, he couldn’t resist his fury, “How could he be here?”

Then he glared at Lu Ze, “In order to retaliate against me, you can even lie about such things. You have really disappointed me.”

Towards this kind of father, Xiang Han was truly speechless. He couldn’t even be compared to the fingernail of  Xiang Han’s own father. He started to sympathize with Lu Ze even more, and could not help but explain, “President Lu, whether it is slander or not, the police and the judges will make their own judgment.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Hongming turned his anger towards Xiang Han. “Who do you think you are, what right do you have to speak?!”

Lu Ze’s face suddenly sank, his voice became frigid, “Xiang Han’s words are the same as mine. Also, if you came here to teach me a lesson, then I have to apologise. I do not have the time to accompany you.”

After saying this, he immediately signaled for his secretary to send Lu Hongming out. Lu Hongming’s complexion turned red. He could no longer endure it and gritted his teeth, “I want talk to you about the lawsuit.”

There was even less to be said. The trial must be carried out, the money must be paid.

Lu Hongming was furious, “Do you think that a small company like Tianchen can win against Lu Shi?”

Unfortunately for Lu Shi, two months later, Tianchen did win the case. Lu Shi not only had to compensate Tianchen with 40 million in losses, but they also had to apologize continuously and publicly for one month. Lu Hongming had found the best lawyers, but eventually, could only bail Lu Hai out.

However, the matter was still not finished. Zhao Yunzhi’s case was under investigation, and the evidence found was very conclusive. Even the driver Kong Dezhang confessed. Lu Hongming did not expect that Zhao Yunzhi would really hire a killer. Was this still the gentle, kind and considerate first love he had in mind? He suddenly became disheartened, and even began to distance himself from Lu Hai.

When Lu Hai walked out of the detention centre, his mother was sent in. Immediately afterwards, he received news of his demotion. Now that he had no support from Lu Hongming, the word ‘frustrated’ could be used to describe his life. These days, he went to the bar to drink and would return home drunk. And then… He got into a car accident when he had drunk and drove. Don’t know if it was his luck, but the person he drove into was exactly Lu Ze.

So after Lu Hai came out, within two months, he went back in again. Lu Hongming no longer cared about the pair of mother and son. He recently hooked up with a star. It looked like he intended to reproduce another heir.

When Lu Ze heard about it, he smiled cynically and then said nothing. He picked up the pace on the research and development of new games while secretly buying up Lu Shi company’s shares.

Xiang Han’s days were also busy. Although Qian Xiaofeng very much wished for him to join the technical department, Xiang Han knew his own worth very well. He obediently chose the Creative Design Department, designing the warships and mechs for the games.

It had to be said that Xiang Han had also been an ambitious youth. That year, he dreamt of wearing a military uniform and driving battleships to explore the galaxy. Unfortunately, his spiritual power was too weak, and he finally went into literature studies. In spite of this, he was still a full-blown military fan. He was well aware of the various types of warships and mechs in the Federation, as long as the military had released information on them. In this regard, even Big A and Little B could not help but be surprised.
 

In addition, he had a unique advantage in designing the Interstellar Wars game. What black holes, wormholes, stargates, battleships, star explosions, etc. Things that others had not seen, he had seen. In addition, he had the system’s help and thus, the design process was extremely smooth.

“Assistant Xiang, you alone are equal to our entire department.” The person in charge of the Creative Design department clicked his tongue and praised him before sending him away.

Qian Xiaofeng of the technical department was very unhappy about this. More than once, he went to Lu Ze to complain, “Can’t you persuade him? He is a graduate student from A College, with a major in computer science. Instead of going into the technical department, he actually went into the Design department? Isn’t this a waste?”

Lu Ze did not look up while signing the document and asked, “The technical department is lacking in people?”

“That’s not it. But letting a programmer go to the Design department, it’s such a waste of talent. If not, why don’t we let him take on both positions concurrently?”

Lu Ze directly told him, “If you’re not lacking in people, get out.”

Since Xiang Han went into the Design department, his only thoughts were of battleships and mechs every day. Who knows if he even remembered that he had a husband. Wanting him to arrange for Xiang Han to go into the technical department was simply a dream.

Lu Ze’s eyes flashed as he began to wonder what he should cook tonight so that he could drag the other person into bed and eat him up afterwards.

Six months later, Zhao Yunzhi’s trial for hiring a killer opened. The driver was eventually sentenced to a lifetime in prison, and Zhao Yunzhi was given the death sentence. At the end of the verdict, Zhao Yunzhi weakly fell to the ground and had to be hauled up to the defendant’s seat by two officers.

Lu Hongming did not appear at all. It was said that the star he had provided for was pregnant, but the fetal position was unstable. Thus, he had kept her company in the hospital.

Walking out of court, Lu Hai glared at Lu Ze hatefully before driving to the hospital.

Xiang Han pouted, somewhat unhappy, “It’s his mother that is the murderer, yet he still has the guts to glare at you. Who’s fault is it?”

Lu Ze led him away, saying, “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to enjoy his life for long.”

Not long afterwards, word spread around that Lu Hai had rushed into the hospital in a rage that day and pushed the pregnant starlet down the stairs. Not only did she lose her child, but she was also badly hurt. Lu Hongming’s nearly suffered a stroke, directly slapping Lu Hai and throwing him out of Lu Family.

“Too bloody.” Xiang Han tutted, and couldn’t help but ask Lu Ze, “Did you know this would happen?”

“How could I possibly know?” Lu Ze rubbed his head, replying perfunctorily.

Xiang Han naively believed him, never thinking that not long after, he would accidentally chance upon the sight of the starlet happily leaving Lu Ze’s office, with a silver card in her hand.

A year later, the Interstellar Wars’ game ‘Light of Dawn’ created by Tianchen was formally launched. On the first day of the trial period, it attracted millions of players and its hype quickly swept across the country. Many foreign players also became obsessed. Because ‘Light of Dawn’ was only available in the national language, in order to understand the text of the game, many people even registered for Chinese Language classes.

Soon after, a well-known physicist said in an interview, that he recently enjoyed playing an Interstellar Wars’ game called ‘Light of Dawn’, where he indulged himself for several hours each day. The game’s cosmic laws, physics, and other settings were so amazing that he was inspired to study the laws of space transitions, wormholes, and other theories. He even believed that the theories about flying ships and stargates in the game were also possible.

This physicist was a veteran in the scientific community and had made tremendous contributions to modern physics. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a founder in the field of modern physics. After the interview aired, ‘Light of Dawn’ gained tremendous publicity and the number of players reached a billion.

A lot of people joked seriously, “I’m not playing a game, I’m exploring the universe, searching for the truth…”, “I heard that XXX is also playing this game. Will I accidentally join his battleship?”, “XXX is still alive? Gosh, that’s the person in the physics textbook!”…

The intelligence agencies of various countries quickly turned their sights upon this game and even set up departments to study the theoretical basis for weapons such as battleships and mechs in the game, including the interstellar system.

It wasn’t long before Tianchen met with senior officials of the country. Lu Ze and Xiang Han were invited to a meeting that lasted for a long time. When they came back, ‘Light of Dawn’ suddenly issued an announcement that they were going to close to repair the server, but the duration was uncertain.

The players quickly became miserable. The intelligence agencies noticed the dire situation and picked up speed. Sure enough, two weeks later, when ‘Light of Dawn’ re-opened, all the theoretical systems had disappeared.

Lu Ze handing over the core technology of ‘Light of Dawn’ was not without any benefit. Tianchen quickly received the support of the government and became an oligarch in the gaming industry.

For Lu Ze, this sale was not a loss. He was a businessman. The weapon theory and physics system in ‘Light of Dawn’ was not of much use to him. The most important thing to note was, in the face of the government, he would not be able to protect it even if he wanted to. If he surrendered it and it turned out to be useful, it might even benefit mankind. It was just that in the beginning, he never thought that the whims of Xiang Han and the ‘Husky’ would actually inspire all these scientists.

Xiang Han couldn’t care less. Anyway, the theories and systems had been somewhat modified. Big A also did not say anything, what did he have to worry about?

As Tianchen continued to grow, Lu Ze gradually became the largest shareholder of the Lu Shi Group. Not long ago, Lu Hongming made a decision that caused Lu Shi to lose hundreds of millions in business. Lu Ze wasted no time in convening a general meeting of shareholders and demanded the replacement of the chairman.

Lu Hongming’s was so enraged, that he suffered a stroke and remained lying on a hospital bed, unable to speak. This time, the chairman had to be replaced whether he liked it or not. Lu Hongming thought that Lu Ze would take over the post of chairman himself. If it were his son, he could still accept it. However, he never expected that Lu Ze would sell Lu Shi to his rival.

After hearing the news in the hospital, Lu Hongming vomited blood and nearly could not wake up again.

After Tianchen went public, Lu Ze became a winner in life while Xiang Han became more desperate each day.

On a certain morning, he rubbed his sore waist and rolled around the bed. Suddenly he asked gloomily: [Little Nine, have I completed the task of this world? Can I go back soon?]

The system was surprised and hesitantly asked: [Mr. Xiang, do you wish to go back?]

[Although I might miss the target a little, but in the end, this is just a game. I have to go back to reality.] Xiang Han said.

The system was relieved, and Big A and Little B who were eavesdropping on the conversation also sighed with relief. Then, Big A coughed and replied: [What’s the rush? The mission is to help the target to achieve love, not to grow old alone. If you return back, he will have to live all alone, how can you call that completing the task?]

[What?! You want me to stay in the game for sixty to seventy years?] Xiang Han was shocked and shouted in disbelief, [When I go out, won’t you all already be old? Who knows if my dad will still be…]

Thinking of this, his eyes gradually reddened.

Big A quickly explained: [Mr. Xiang, calm down. In the game, times flows differently from reality. Although you have been in the game for a year, but in the real world, only an hour has passed.]

[That’s right, staying in there for sixty to seventy years will only be equivalent to three or four days in the real world. And in this sixty to seventy years, you can achieve a lot of things. It’s just like living an additional sixty to seventy years. Think about it, isn’t it very worth it?] Little B quickly added.
