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

Cyber ​​Fox and Entropy, who were sitting to the side, also stood up at the same time.

The two men flanked Su Hao, their icy, sharp gazes fixed on the stunned Ethan.

"call……"

Ethan let out a heavy sigh, painfully rubbing his throbbing brow.

"How foolish..."

He suddenly raised his head, his previously elite facade completely shattered.

Then, glaring fiercely at the four men, he roared through gritted teeth:

"Absolutely stupid!"

I guarantee it with my reputation!

Such a generous offer is something you poor bastards will never encounter again in your lifetime!

The moment you step out of this door today, one day you'll regret it so much you'll be green with envy!

After being rejected by this group of "ants" in his eyes one after another.

This tech giant executive, who always prided himself on his elegance, now spoke with barely suppressed hysterical rage.

His contemptuous and sinister gaze was like a poisoned knife.

It was clearly a silent curse: "What a bunch of shameless, ignorant fools!"

However, faced with Ethan's blatant threat, the four remained as steadfast as rocks.

They weren't even bothering to say another word.

All that remained was a scornful, harsh laugh.

They then turned around in unison.

Without looking back, he strode out of the oppressive conference room.

boom!

The door closed.

Ethan was left in the conference room, looking ashen-faced, slumped in the boss's chair, stunned as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He was trembling all over.

Because he knew it better than anyone else.

Looking across Silicon Valley, there are few people like him who can truly see through the terrifying strategic value contained in that engine.

Very few!

That was a miracle!

That is the key that can change the world order!

But he completely messed things up!

"Damn it...damn it! I'm such a complete idiot!"

Ethan pounded his fist on the desk in regret.

"I shouldn't have tested them in the first place."

They should have just written a check for a hundred million dollars and knocked these poor bastards unconscious!

Before this, his arrogance had blinded him.

He stubbornly believed that dealing with these poor students who hadn't even graduated and couldn't afford to eat was the best way to deal with them.

A mere ten million US dollars in cash flow is already overkill.

It was enough to crush the rationality of these poor students like ants being crushed, making them lick the soles of their shoes like dogs!

But now, one wrong step and the whole game is lost!

Even if he chases after them now and throws out ten or a hundred times more chips, the overall situation is already completely beyond saving.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Since Skyline's military background has been ruthlessly exposed by that young man.

Even if they later lower themselves and forcefully seek reconciliation.

The other party will definitely add distrustful military restrictions, which will inevitably draw an insurmountable gap between Skyline and that genius architect!

money.

They are worthless in front of this young man!

And Skyline has almost missed its best chance to dominate the world!

........

An hour later.

Four people who had just turned down a $10 million offer were now starving.

I found a McDonald's on the street corner and generously ordered several cheap double cheeseburger combos.

"Looks like everyone's really starving."

Su Hao couldn't help but tease him.

The three men who had been so arrogant just moments before now looked like starving ghosts reincarnated.

Their eyes gleamed green as they roughly stuffed hamsters and fries into their mouths, their cheeks puffed out like hamsters.

"Isn't that obvious?!"

Just now, in that tense atmosphere in the conference room, I confronted a Silicon Valley tycoon.

I felt an adrenaline rush; my shirt was soaked with cold sweat!

"Yeah, that financial tycoon had such a powerful aura. I still feel like my brain is on the verge of crashing."

"Actually, we were just background figures in the past."

Ultimately, that exorbitant contract was basically a tailor-made indenture for Su Hao alone.

Upon hearing this, Su Hao laughed heartily.

"Don't say that. If other investors are willing to make an offer in the future, I will definitely share the profits with you according to our shareholding ratio!"

"Stop right there!"

Just as you said in the meeting room.

Digital nuclear weapons like the 'Synapse Engine' could trigger global unrest if they were to explode.

"It absolutely should not be controlled by any heartless conglomerates! That kind of money is a hot potato!"

"Yeah, look at Ethan just now, the moment he heard you mention the military background, he turned into a bloodthirsty, ravenous monster."

There's definitely some terrifying, shady conspiracy brewing behind this.

"Who can argue with that? At first, I just thought the underlying logic was cleverly and powerfully written."

But I never expected that letting it out would cause such a massive upheaval!

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Back to reality.

"So... what path should we take going forward?"

Reality is incredibly cruel, yet incredibly clear.

no doubt.

After today's battle, all the tech giants that extended olive branches to them...

Their true purpose is absolutely to keep a close eye on control of the Synapse engine, attempting to put this beast into their own cage.

Cyber ​​Fox gritted his teeth, swallowed the remaining half of the hamburger in his hand as if venting his anger, and went into his stomach in one gulp.

"I just reviewed it carefully."

To fawn over those greedy capitalists and accept those dirty terms will only make you subject to their control sooner or later, or even turn you into an accomplice!

"Let's just do something big ourselves! We're not putting up with this nonsense anymore!"

The bold words had barely left his lips.

Entropy gave him a cold glance.

"Do it yourself? You've got quite the nerve."

Now, check your pockets and tell me, how much start-up capital do you have?

Faced with Entropy's relentless soul-searching questions.

Cyber ​​Fox and Root, who were just moments before full of bravado, suddenly deflated like punctured balloons.

"Um... including all my belongings, it's about... ten thousand US dollars?"

"Same here, I have about the same amount in my pocket."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

$20,000 won't even make a splash in the market.

Just when everyone was frowning.

Su Hao, munching on a French fry, casually interjected.

Do you think it's feasible for us to go through the "player crowdfunding" route online without using capital funds?

Hasn't the current daily active download volume already exceeded a certain threshold for explosive growth?

If we publicly post on the forum, promising to share profits proportionally once the game becomes profitable in the future.

With the enthusiasm of these hardcore gamers, raising the initial startup capital for a server shouldn't be a problem, right?
