After Chen Xu reached level 30, his strength increased significantly again. In addition, after playing this game for such a long time, he also learned more ways to deal with the situation.

After trying twice, he successfully completed the task and successfully changed his job for the second time. He got a new piece of equipment, a larger pistol that could hold sixteen bullets and twice as powerful as before. Of course, the price of the bullets was also twice as high.

This time, it can be said that he has upgraded his rifle to a new one. He now has enough strength to go on extraordinary missions with Mu Shang.

However, this matter has to be put aside for now, because the game is about to be shut down.

The Dreamland Device has a mandatory clause that players can only play for eight hours a day. After a year in the game, they must log off.

This creates a problem. If the game is kept running, players will have to quit the game after playing for a year and come back the next day. Two years have passed in the game, and the plot progresses over too long a period of time, making it impossible to play.

Therefore, in order to accommodate the gaming time of most players, many games usually force all players to quit, pause time, and shut down the server after running for a year. After two years, the server will be reopened to allow players to enter.

In this way, the vast majority of players will not miss out on game developments.

Before the game shuts down, there will be a reminder. After Chen Xu's second transformation, there are only a few days left, and he will definitely not be able to complete the extraordinary mission. He might as well make an appointment to do the mission the next time he goes online.

The two logged off early the day before the game was shut down.

At this time, it was only two or three o'clock in the middle of the night in reality. He still had time, so he picked another game. Anyway, he had a lot of game time accumulated before.

The second game he picked was also a very popular game, Fighting, which happened to be played at a different time from Second Life.

…………

At five in the morning, Chen Xu woke up, changed into sportswear, and went downstairs for a morning run.

The temperature here in Beijing was lower and drier, and the air was not very good, which made him a little uncomfortable. He finished his exercise half an hour earlier than usual and returned to the hotel.

At around eight o'clock, Chen Xu was copying code on his laptop when he heard a knock on the door. He held the computer in one hand and walked over to open the door.

The person knocking on the door was Cai Weiye, and there was someone behind him, who was his assistant.

"So early?" Chen Xu glanced at him, then shifted his attention to the computer and asked casually.

Cai Weiye seemed a little panicked and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam yesterday and I couldn't pick you up at the airport. When I knew you were at the hotel, I rushed over immediately, but Secretary Wen said you were resting, so I didn't come in to disturb you."

Chen Xu remembered that there was such an incident. At that time, he was in a hurry to enter the dream game and didn't care about anything else.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "It's okay, as long as you have this intention."

Cai Weiye seemed a little embarrassed. He stood in front of him and did not dare to sit down.

Chen Xu looked up at him and said, "Sit down, why are you standing?"

"It's okay, I can just stand."

Chen Xu thought about it and roughly guessed what he was thinking. He must have thought that he was angry and deliberately didn't see him yesterday. He didn't explain much, and let him stand if he wanted to.

“What about the new products from those battery companies?”

Cai Weiye quickly replied, "It's an excellent job. The battery capacities produced by several companies are similar, which can allow electric vehicles to have a range of about 600 to 700 kilometers."

It’s not that a higher capacity is impossible, it’s just not cost-effective. This capacity is the most cost-effective option.

At this time, someone knocked on the door again.

Cai Weiye took the initiative to walk over, looked through the peephole, and said, "It's Secretary Wen," and opened the door.

Cai Weiye is in charge of a laboratory. Everyone under him calls him boss, and others follow suit.

"Good morning, Secretary Wen." Cai Weiye did not dare to be overbearing and greeted politely.

Chen Xu asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it in the car."

"Yeah." Chen Xu ignored him and went to eat breakfast.

"Well, I'll wait for you downstairs." Cai Weiye did not stay here to disturb him and left with his assistant.

…………

Cai Weiye brought his assistant to the first floor lobby and waited patiently.

His assistant's surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Lei. He is not only a fellow villager, but also a junior, and one year younger than him. His hometown is a small county town, and he has already studied in the best high school. Not many people can be admitted to famous universities every year. Even fewer can be admitted to other provinces.

When Lin Lei went to the university to register, he was the one who went to the station to pick him up. From undergraduate to graduate school to doctoral study, the two had a good relationship.

Therefore, after Cai Weiye achieved great success in his career, he wanted to promote his younger classmates.

Lin Lei couldn't help but feel indignant, "Brother Ye, even if he is the sponsor, there is no need for us to do this."

Just now, Cai Weiye's attitude was too humble and he really couldn't stand it.

As several major battery companies announced that they would launch a new generation of lithium batteries, Cai Weiye's original paper was once again dug up and his academic status continued to rise.

These days, after arriving in Beijing, several major companies have treated them with great courtesy. Even the company's executives have to address Cai Weiye as "Teacher Cai".

It is no exaggeration to say that Cai Weiye's academic status and influence are higher than those of some doctoral supervisors.

As a result, he was almost groveling in front of Chen Xu.

Lin Lei felt aggrieved.

Cai Weiye said, "What do you know? Mr. Chen is my mentor. Without him, how could I have achieved what I have today?"

Lin Lei said unconvincedly, "But you also brought him rich returns. I heard that several major companies spent billions to obtain patent authorization, and also got a share of the battery sales. All of these went into his pocket."

Billions of dollars, what a huge fortune. Even if there is a huge favor, it is enough to pay it back.

Cai Weiye was silent. Lin Lei came here after the laboratory was expanded, and he didn't know many things. But he knew that the laboratory was bought by Mr. Chen, the experimental plan was designed by Mr. Chen, and even the experiments were done by his subordinates.

His only contribution was to write a paper on the contents of the experiment.

Only he and the initial few experimenters knew about this matter.

Chen Xu did not treat them unfairly. He gave them several million in bonuses and an additional 100 million yuan to purchase a lot of experimental equipment. He also recruited more people to expand the scale of the laboratory.

Of course, to those who were not in the know, he suffered a great loss. After all, he was the first author of that paper.
