Chapter 98, Chapter 11: Female Supporting Character in Online Game Novel
"???"
Engineer Yang looked puzzled, while the team leader nodded affirmatively.
After a long while, Engineer Yang wiped away his cold sweat and managed to squeeze out a sentence with some difficulty.
"Are connections these days... so powerful?"
From then on, everyone in the studio knew that the new formula that Yu Wanwan had casually written down in the meeting room that day had successfully solved the problem that Engineer Yang and his team were facing.
It was at this moment that they realized that this young lady who had come through the back door was not, as they had assumed, a rich heiress who had come to experience life.
They are truly skilled, and their professionalism is in no way inferior to those of the top students in the studio; in fact, it may even surpass them.
Everyone immediately began to recall whether they had offended this young lady in that short period of time.
Fortunately, Yu Wanwan has been very well-behaved since she arrived here.
Although she doesn't actively communicate with people, after several months here, she's only really familiar with Xu Qingzhou, who's been training her.
But she was always very honest and never caused any trouble.
If it weren't for the occasional errands Xu Qingzhou would ask her to run, she would usually be so quiet that it was as if she didn't exist.
Once they were sure they hadn't offended her, they breathed a sigh of relief and their attitude towards her improved.
Yu Wanwan didn't care about this.
Just like she told Xu Qingzhou at the beginning, she didn't come here for work.
However, what troubled her was that once the studio realized she wasn't just a pretty face, they gradually started assigning her work.
Because of the breakthroughs in this project, which were closely related to her, the tasks assigned to her became increasingly heavy.
In just half a month, her status in the studio has almost caught up with that of the chief engineer.
Xu Qingzhou, who arrived half a month earlier than her, had long been left far behind.
Fortunately, Xu Qingzhou didn't mind. In fact, when his colleagues tried to comfort him in a subtle way, a sense of pride inexplicably rose in his heart.
Although these tasks were not difficult for her, they were just too tedious!
Yu Wanwan feels hopeless every day dealing with work and data.
She regretted countless times why she came here to suffer.
Why not just stay home, play games, and just laze around waiting to die?
Two weeks later, the project team, which had made progress, once again fell into a stagnation.
"It's simply impossible!"
One engineer slammed a document on the table, his brow furrowed.
"Processing millions of light ray data simultaneously involves an explosive amount of computation, making real-time performance impossible to guarantee!"
After a moment of thought, Engineer Yang couldn't help but look at Yu Wanwan, who was lying on the table playing with her fingers.
"Xiao Ji, what do you think?"
Others also looked over.
In the past two weeks, just when they thought she was already very capable, she always managed to surpass their expectations once again.
This group of people are completely convinced of her abilities.
Yu Wanwan glanced at the people staring at her expectantly and sighed.
"The explosive increase in computational load is because you are obsessed with global optimization."
Yu Wanwan glanced at the group of bald engineers again and pressed her temples.
He went up and typed a few keys on the keyboard.
On the big screen, a new framework was outlined with just a few strokes on the original template.
"Layered processing: 80% of the computing power is used on 20% of the critical data, while this lightweight algorithm is used in edge areas..."
She stood in front of the big screen and spoke eloquently, not too fast, but every word hit the nail on the head, making everyone understand.
Instead of giving a direct answer, she opened up a new avenue of thought for them, pulling them out of their limitations.
The technical staff went back to recalculate, and the office staff did their best to help them.
But to Yu Wanwan's surprise, three days later, she received a new appointment.
"The head of the technical department?"
The team leader glanced at Engineer Yang.
"This was something that Engineer Yang applied for on his own initiative."
Yu Wanwan was somewhat surprised. Unlike the angry old man she had seen before, Engineer Yang was quite frank and open.
“We’ve been working on this project for many years, and progress has been slow, but since you came, our project has been progressing much faster.”
Engineer Yang's face showed a hint of emotion.
"I have to admit that sometimes we veterans do lack the creative ideas of you young people, and our thinking is limited."
Yu Wanwan remained silent for a few seconds.
She wasn't the one with the most ingenious ideas.
"Even brilliant ideas need a solid foundation as their basis."
Engineer Yang smiled, knowing that she had agreed.
From that day on, she moved into the laboratory with Engineer Yang and the others.
She brought Xu Qingzhou and several capable people from the office with her.
These people are not engineers, but their professional skills are not to be underestimated, and each of them has their own area of expertise.
Having accepted the assignment, Yu Wanwan naturally wouldn't be perfunctory and quickly assigned tasks to these people.
It was only then that the people who had been called in realized that she, who usually seemed lazy and did nothing, had already thoroughly understood the abilities of everyone in the studio.
She didn't come up with any groundbreaking, cutting-edge technology.
Based solely on their existing knowledge, we proposed new ideas and pointed them in a new direction.
It was only after entering the laboratory that these people truly grasped her terror.
Her knowledge base is frighteningly deep.
Often, she doesn't do things herself, but acts as a manager.
No matter what kind of people encounter difficulties and ask her for help, she can always use her superior structural thinking and broader academic vision to solve the problems that trouble them concisely and clearly.
Even the few people she brought into the office who were doing the most basic data work learned a lot from her.
Of course, there is another person who cannot be ignored either.
Under Yu Wanwan's unreserved guidance, Xu Qingzhou is progressing at an alarming rate.
When he first arrived at the studio, he was just a naive and inexperienced college student.
Although he has a decent amount of computer knowledge, he is still too young and lacks experience.
But now he is able to work alongside engineers like Yang, taking charge of technical modules.
Such learning ability is terrifying and sends chills down your spine.
Many people in the lab were devastated.
The only one who didn't find it strange was probably Yu Wanwan.
She knew very well that if Xu Qingzhou, as the absolute protagonist in this virtual universe, didn't even have this much ability, then he wouldn't need to live.
In a short period of time, she became the "brain" and "compass" of this laboratory.
Witnessing a technology that had been stagnant for many years being gradually brought to fruition under their hands, the sense of pride and excitement was overwhelming for everyone in the studio.
However, because Yu Wanwan didn't directly present her results to them, she stayed in the laboratory for two years.
People in the martial arts world discovered that Linjiangxian, the once-renowned top-ranked player, and Tangcu Jinli, whom all healers worshipped, had almost disappeared from the martial arts world after that live stream.
The top spot on the leaderboard had already been reclaimed by Ren Wugui, and Xue Ren had also regained his position as the number one guild.
Although Jiange no longer has Linjiangxian, it still retains the assets she left behind, so it hasn't fallen out of the top three.
Without them, it seems like a lot of fun is lost.
Even Ren Wugui once posted a message lamenting that without Linjiangxian, competing for the rankings felt extremely pointless.
Only the unscrupulous businessman knew that for the past two years, Sweet and Sour Koi had never stopped asking him to collect materials.
We need to recruit not only wet nurses, but also swordsmen.
He wasn't quite sure what Yu Wanwan was trying to do. Even though she had stopped playing games, she kept collecting materials.
But for him, as long as he can make money, all that matters is that he doesn't care about the rights and wrongs.
Two years later, the world of "Hanging Sword" underwent a major update.
This update was released without any prior notice; a brief update announcement was posted only one day in advance, and the servers were shut down the following day.
It caught people off guard.
This server maintenance will last for a week.
Just as players of the game "Hanging Sword Jianghu" were cursing and searching for information everywhere, a shocking announcement suddenly swept the headlines of all technology and gaming sections.
The promotional video no longer features a traditional screen interface, but instead makes players feel as if they are actually in an antique inn, a valley filled with sword energy, and so on.
That was a world that players of Suspended Sword Jianghu were extremely familiar with, but now it was presented to them with an unprecedented sense of immersion.
Not only the players of Suspended Sword Jianghu, but the entire internet was in an uproar.
[Holographic?! Really? Am I dreaming?!]
[A once-in-a-lifetime event! I can really step into my own martial arts world?!]
[In a daze, I actually got to see a holographic game released?!]
[See the bottom of the announcement!!! Ahhhhhh, I will support Suspended Sword Jianghu for life!!!]
Everyone immediately rushed to the bottom of the announcement in a panic.
Beneath the extensive holographic description, there is another footnote.
Holographic technology has just been developed and will be used first in the world of "Hanging Swordsman" for a three-month closed beta test. Only after the closed beta test is successful will holographic technology be used in other places.
At the same time, the official website of the game "Suspended Sword Jianghu" has also launched pre-sale channels for the holographic game pod and holographic helmet.
The holographic gaming pod is priced at 100,000 yuan and features the most realistic simulation of the five senses. It does not require connection to a computer host and comes with a nutrient solution.
The helmet experience is somewhat inferior, only supporting a basic holographic immersive experience. It needs to be connected to a computer host for use, and the usage time cannot exceed eight hours at a time, otherwise it will be forcibly kicked out. The price is six thousand.
The players, who had been cursing and swearing, instantly forgot their anxiety while waiting and were all caught up in extreme excitement and disbelief.
Forums, social media, gaming groups—everywhere related—was completely flooded with this news.
[Holy crap! Six thousand yuan?! Buying a new era phone? This is a steal!]
[Aaaaaaah, six thousand yuan?! Two months' salary in no time if I grit my teeth! Amazing!]
[I really cried. I thought even if holographic technology came out, I still wouldn't be able to afford it and could only watch others play with it. This price is amazing!]
[I got it! Aaaaaaaah!]
Meanwhile, the person who brought holographic technology to the world was being surrounded by a group of people in his office, who were trying to persuade him with earnest words.
Even Lu, the CEO of Xinghuan who had never appeared here before, and Ji Huai, who hadn't been seen for a very long time, were here.
"Xiao Ji! You're so talented, why did you resign? Did we do something to make you uncomfortable?"
Mr. Lu, dressed in a suit and tie, had a pair of bright eyes that also held a hint of regret and pain.
It's like looking at a piece of gold that's about to be lost.
"Little Tangtang, are you not satisfied with how Brother Lu is treating you? Tell me what you're unhappy about! Whatever your request, Brother Lu will definitely grant it!"
