A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

Seeing the three of them enjoying their meal, Su Hao carefully reached out and picked up a slice of pizza with crispy edges.

As soon as you pull it, the cheese on top immediately stretches into a long, tempting string.

Su Hao tentatively took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

The taste was surprisingly good!

The sweet ketchup of that American fast food explodes on your tongue.

Following closely behind are the Italian sausages, which are baked at high temperatures, exuding a savory aroma and a slightly spicy flavor.

The two blend together in a near-perfect ratio in the mouth.

The warm, flowing, rich cheese envelops your taste buds.

It brings a raw, soul-stirring satisfaction, a brutal satisfaction fueled by the sheer volume of carbohydrates.

"Wow!"

Su Hao's cheeks puffed out like a hamster's as he mumbled indistinctly,

"It tastes much better than I expected!"

Cyber ​​Fox said smugly:

"Right? That's the most charming essence of rugged American pizza."

Although it is certainly not as refined and sophisticated as the Italian pizzas in upscale restaurants.

But once you take a big bite, this simple and brutal calorie bomb...

It can cause a sudden surge of dopamine in the brain, bringing a primal sense of happiness!

In the cramped studio, everyone was munching on high-calorie junk food while laughing and joking around without restraint.

The air was filled with the vibrant energy of young people.

Su Hao ate his pizza quietly.

He really enjoyed spending time with these pure guys.

All of this seems to be connected by some kind of strange fate.

Without the strong support of these three technical experts, he would never have had the energy to formally engage in the vast and complex underlying development of the "Synapse engine".

The original purpose of this engine was simply to write a basic logic architecture that he stayed up all night to earn tuition fees for his sister.

Who would have thought that this pile of dry code would be transformed into a game, bringing pure joy to so many people around the world?

This made him, who was always immersed in the digital world, feel genuinely happy.

After the laughter and commotion subsided, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

"What's next? How do we plan to proceed?"

Entropy grabbed a tissue, wiped his oily hands, and skillfully swished his swivel chair to sit down at the keyboard.

"I think we should wait and see if there are suitable investments in the capital market."

She tapped a few keys on the keyboard and looked at the data on the screen.

"If the number of downloads can break through the 100,000 or even 200,000 mark."

"I bet you'll get some pretty lucrative offers coming in, right?"

Cyber ​​Fox stared at the screen, swallowing hard.

"It's estimated to be more than 100,000 or 200,000."

Look at the backend data, the current rate of spontaneous player growth is astonishing, it's practically taking off vertically!

As predicted by Cyber ​​Fox.

Just one week later.

The number of downloads in the background then surged past the 300,000 mark!

Following closely behind were all sorts of letters of intent for investment, which flooded the studio's mailboxes like snowflakes.

However, what was somewhat discouraging was that most of these senders were second-rate capitalists.

The sincerity they offered mostly amounted to around a million dollars, small, tentative offers that were essentially attempts to take advantage of the situation.

Until one afternoon.

Cyber ​​Fox, who was routinely checking his emails, suddenly froze.

His gaze was fixed on a sender's name that caught the eye.

"Brothers! Something terrible has happened!"

Hearing this noise.

The other people in the room immediately dropped what they were doing and swarmed around Cyber ​​Fox's computer.

"What's going on?"

"Has the server crashed again?"

Cyber ​​Fox swallowed hard.

With a slightly trembling mouse cursor, I clicked on the email with the company's certification.

[Strategic collaboration proposal regarding MIT Simulator and the Synapse engine]

[From: Skyline]

"Wow, Skyline? That legendary Silicon Valley giant?"

"Wait a minute, isn't their company a tech company that started by making core modules for autonomous driving? Why would they be interested in our game?"

"Autonomous driving? That's just the tip of the iceberg."

They've taken on all the responsibilities: infrastructure for future smart cities, Skynet surveillance, and even some undisclosed military projects!

Industry insiders are saying that this company has extremely strong financial backing and countless listed subsidiaries.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a super-corporation with a market value that is astonishing.

Faced with the alluring glances from this legendary behemoth of capital.

These three college students, who usually thought themselves extraordinary, were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground, and they couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The next morning.

Su Hao and the three from "Spectra Works" arrived at the Cambridge branch of Skyline Company with tense expressions.

After being led into the panoramic conference room filled with a cool-toned, high-tech feel.

What you see first is a huge, ultra-high-resolution screen that occupies an entire wall.

Above, a silent video of a live test of the MIT Simulator is playing.

Looking at the screen, everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Wow! Even this kind of microscopic and macroscopic synchronous interference operation can be perfectly achieved."

"Was this... did they choose to start with architecture?"

The campus depicted on the giant screen is completely different from the real MIT.

Towering buildings, complex three-dimensional transportation networks, and automated industrial zones.

It looks like a cyberpunk-style futuristic city.

Squeak.

The heavy conference room door was pushed open.

A man in a bespoke, tailored suit strode in.

He had a very strong presence, with the composure of someone who had long held a high position.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting, I had to deal with some international business."

He sat down in the main seat and nodded slightly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Ethan Lovell, the Strategic Technology Director for Skyline North America."

Without any further pleasantries, he turned his head away, and his assistant immediately handed him a custom-made laptop.

"You should all have seen the image on the wall."

Ethan leaned back slightly in his chair.

"That's the result of testing our internal computing center for about 48 hours."

Although it only uses a simple image from the original game.

But after countless iterations of the building algorithm, it surprisingly began to undergo complex self-evolution.

A barely concealed fervor flashed in his eyes.

"This is truly amazing."

As he spoke, he reached out and slowly turned the laptop screen to face the crowd.

The screen no longer displays game graphics.

Instead, it was a densely packed data model flashing with blue light.

The screen clearly displays massive population movement patterns, optimal route scheduling for countless modes of transportation, and energy consumption charts covering the entire virtual city.

Most astonishingly, all the variables are subtly interfering with each other, performing real-time calculations and self-evolution!

Su Hao leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the data model flashing on the screen, as if admiring a fine work of art.

Ethan was pleased with the students' response.

He opened the expensive briefcase with an air of elegance.

Several pre-prepared contracts were pulled out and pushed over.

"After the company's highest level of internal evaluation."

We all agree that the 'Synapse engine' you all hold in your hands will be valuable once it's integrated into our ecosystem.

This will become an excellent tool for Skyline to advance its core strategic business in the future.

Ethan interlaced his fingers, resting his chin on the back of his hand.

"Therefore, even though Skyline's business portfolio does not include the gaming industry, we are still willing to make an exception and extend this sincere invitation for cooperation to you."
