Huayu: From the Era of Ringtones to Becoming a Legend

After hearing the three people's statements, Lu Jiuge felt a little better and looked at Ban Kaiwen and Wang Guangjun:

What are your thoughts?

The two exchanged a glance, and Ban Kaiwen spoke first:

"Ninth Brother, I think it's best to be safe. After all, we're all gathered here to make money, not to spite each other!"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Guangjun echoed:

"I agree with what the teacher said!"

Lu Jiuge's gaze lingered on Wang Guangjun and Ban Kaiwen's faces for a long time.

Wang Guangjun kept his head down, his fingers gripping the seam of his trousers tightly. Ban Kaiwen's eyes were red, and he dared not look at him.

"Old Wang!"

Lu Jiuge spoke softly as she looked at Wang Guangjun:

"Do you remember what you said when you said you wanted to hang out with me at Qingfeng Skating Rink?"

Wang Guangjun's body trembled.

"Tell me, Ninth Brother, I, Wang Guangjun, have never admired anyone in my life except you. If I lose, I admit defeat!"

"I also promised to help you earn six figures!"

The office was so quiet that you could only hear breathing.

"Let's begin!"

Lu Jiuge then looked at Ban Kaiwen:

"When you brought hundreds of members from the 'Funeral Love Family' to help me promote my songs, what did I say to you?"

Ban Kaiwen moved his throat, but no sound came out.

"I'm saying, if this works out, I'll treat you all to the best of everything; if not, I, Lu Jiuge, will take the fall all by myself!"

Lu Jiuge paused for a few seconds, staring at the two of them:

What I said still stands.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you; you'll definitely get your share of the money!"

"Those that should be kept..."

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, word by word:

"We must be prepared to lose everything, even be heavily in debt!"

After listening to Lu Jiuge's words, Wang Guangjun and Ban Kaiwen remained silent, their faces showing pain and inner turmoil.

After a long pause, Ban Kaiwen spoke first:

"Ninth Brother, it's not that I'm scared, it's that I... I still have my elderly mother at home..."

"I know!"

Lu Jiuge interrupted him:

"So I don't blame you!"

After pausing deliberately, and seeing that Wang Guangjun and Ban Kaiwen had not expressed their opinions, Lu Jiuge already knew what they were thinking, and turned to Chen Bin:

"Old Chen, settle the accounts with them, 500,000 each!"

"Also, prepare a copy of the company's balance sheet. We shareholders will have a meeting later to discuss our next steps!"

On the left, Liu Sixi, Chen Bin, and the other two exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

Wang Guangjun and Ban Kaiwen hesitated for a few seconds, then bowed and left without saying a word.

"It seems that accumulating too much negative faith points is also a burden. No matter how many songs you can exchange for, it's all in vain without distribution channels!"

Lu Jiuge rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and immersed herself in the system shop.

His senses swept across the categories on the main panel of the system shop, leading him directly to the list of [Professional Skills].

The list scrolled by, countless entries flashing by, until one term firmly captured his gaze:

[Lingyun Audio Algorithm Complete Patent Package]

[Description: An innovative audio dynamic enhancement algorithm that improves music sound quality through programmatic algorithms without changing the hardware...]

[Exchange Requirement: 1000000 Negative Faith Points]

"Holy crap, it takes a million negative faith points to redeem?"

"In the realm of entertainment, exchanging for a wildly popular song would cost at most 100,000 Negative Faith Points, while this technology alone costs a million!"

After complaining for a bit, considering her current situation, Lu Jiuge gritted her teeth and decided to exchange the items.

Using this technology, he devised a plan to help him break through the blockade of twelve record companies.

To resolve the immediate crisis, Lu Jiuge had no choice!

The technology exchange was successful, and instantly a massive and complex flow of information flooded into my mind.

A massive amount of information, including mathematical formulas, circuit logic diagrams, C language code, and patent legal texts, flooded into Lu Jiuge's memory.

Lu Jiuge felt his head throbbing, not from the information, but from the core code, which was like a foreign language to him.

"Damn, there's so much technical knowledge involved, I can't even understand it, let alone use it!"

"Sure enough, they gave me the item, but I can't take it out!"

Lu Jiuge gave a bitter laugh and cursed.

"Now, our only hope is to find a solution in the system's in-game store!"

He once again immersed his consciousness into the mall.

This time, Lu Jiuge didn't flip through the pages one by one. Instead, she directly entered the keywords "knowledge output" and "information transfer".

Finally, in the search results box, he found a solution that fit the context of the times:

[Basic Mind Encoding Output Device (Bioelectric Signal Translation Adaptation Version)]

[Description: By capturing the user's bioelectrical signals, they are encoded into a binary data stream that can be transmitted via a standard serial port, such as USB...]

[Exchange Requirement: 500000 Negative Faith Points]

Faced with the exchange price of 500,000 negative faith points, and with the exorbitant price of the Lingyun audio algorithm as a reference, Lu Jiuge was no longer surprised.

Unlike the complexity of Lingyun's audio algorithm, the design principles and logic of the mind-coding output device are not complicated.

In her previous life, Lu Jiuge enjoyed tinkering with small inventions. After successfully exchanging them, she understood the design principles after only reading them twice.

Moreover, according to the design requirements, the components needed to produce the mind-coding output device can all be purchased on the market.

Lu Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, opened her eyes, grabbed her clothes, got up and went out to buy components so she could make an output device by hand.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, Liu Sixi and the other two, all looking anxious, surrounded him.

"Xiao Lu, have you figured it out yet?"

"I've got a plan, but we need to get a little tool first!"

Lu Jiuge picked up the car keys and gave her instructions:

"You wait here, I'll be back soon and tell you the breakout plan!"

Upon arriving in the city, Lu Jiuge headed straight for the largest electronic component market.

Following the list in my mind, I gathered all the components from several stalls, and also bought a basic soldering tool and a blank USB flash drive casing.

Back at the company, he locked himself in his office.

The following day, Lu Jiuge began to study the cumbersome welding assembly, referring to the diagram in his mind.

After staying up all night and experiencing five failures, Lu Jiuge finally succeeded the next morning.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jiuge plugged the hand-made device into the computer, applied the patch to her temples, closed her eyes, and found the Lingyun Algorithm Patent Package in the system's redeemed list.

Instantly, a command window popped up on the computer screen, with code scrolling across it.

Half a minute later, a new folder appeared on the computer, and the command window kept displaying text.

……

Approximately forty minutes later, the command window disappeared from the computer screen.

Lu Jiuge wearily removed the patch, opened the new folder on her computer, and sure enough, found the complete Lingyun audio algorithm inside.

Become!

He rubbed his temples and opened the office door.

Liu Sixi and his two companions immediately surrounded them.

"Don't rush, wait two more minutes, have some tea!"

Having found a solution, Lu Jiuge was no longer as agitated as before. She walked to the main seat at the tea table, sat down, and slowly boiled water to make tea.

"Have everything been arranged for Wang Guangjun and Ban Kaiwen?"

Chen Bin nodded:

"The money was settled, and they both left. As they left... sigh."

Lu Jiuge hummed in agreement, her expression somewhat disappointed.

"The two of them were the ones who helped me achieve the breakthrough from 0 to 1, but we are a startup team, and if our hearts are not aligned, it will be difficult to pool our strength."

After pouring tea for the three of them, he turned to Chen Bin and asked:

"Now, let's get down to business. Old Chen, how much readily available cash does the company have?"

"Next, I'm going to do something big. If it succeeds, it will not only solve the company's problems, but also have the opportunity to disrupt the traditional music industry's profit model and monopolize digital music output!"
