I Hijacked The Timeline - Chapter 127
Chapter 127: The Virtual Genius Is a Love-Struck Fool
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Star City Academy, principal’s office.
Looking at Feng Qi, who was talking non-stop, Bai Fusheng looked a little confused.
“You mean you want the academy to add another specialization in virtual reality technology? Are you serious?”
Faced with Bai Fusheng’s question, Feng Qi nodded solemnly.
“Very serious. I told you in detail just now that the innovation of virtual reality technology can solve the safety hazard problems of the various academies in confrontational training. It can also increase the combat ability of the students. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”
“If we establish this specialization in advance, Star City Academy will definitely be ahead of the other major academies in the future.”
After listening to Feng Qi’s explanation, Bai Fusheng fell into deep thought.
Feng Qi’s words had indeed moved him.
How to improve the combat ability of the students had always been the most troublesome problem for the various academies.
Every year, many students lost their lives in the domain field. Even during the confrontational training in the academy, there would occasionally be students who got seriously injured.
However, if restrictions were set to ensure the safety of confrontational training, it would not allow the students to truly unleash their strength.
Restricted training was also of little help to actual combat.
After listening to Feng Qi’s explanation of virtual reality technology, he believed that this method was indeed feasible.
However, he felt that it was not easy to create such a game.
Although he didn’t understand virtual reality technology, he knew that it would be difficult for it to reach a level comparable to reality.
Starting from scratch, the subsequent investment might be an astronomical figure.
At this though, he looked at Feng Qi and sighed.
“Your ideas are too fantastical. I’m not saying that they won’t work. The problem is that we don’t have a teacher who has mastered this technology at all. The subsequent investment is also a bottomless pit. 1 think we should forget it.”
Don’t. 1 can help you find the teacher. We can slowly think of a way to solve the funding problem. Why don’t you try to apply for funding first and see the attitude of the Ministry of Education? It’s always difficult to start.”
Hearing Bai Fusheng’s rejection, Feng Qi hurriedly spoke.
It was impossible for him to create Savior alone.
He could look for Fang Zhiyou, the young genius, to build the virtual engine.
He could plagiarize the data code from the future database, but he would need to invest extra funding in the design.
For example, original art, game modeling, game action, special effects, and UL
With a brand new game engine, many content needed to be learned again.
This was undoubtedly an extremely huge project, and the funds needed in the early stages were unknown.
After careful consideration, he decided to seek Bai Fusheng’s help.
As for talents in this area, he already had the best candidate, Fang Zhiyou.
The game Savior was also created on the virtual engine developed by him.
According to history, the future virtual engine had already been created, but it had yet to be perfected, so he had to speed up the birth of this result.
As for the core spell trajectory, algorithmic code, and other problems, he could solve them using the future database.
Star City Academy is a cultivation academy after all. It’s still a little inappropriate to add this specialization. We definitely won’t be able to get it approve it even if we report it.”
Looking at Bai Fusheng who was shaking his head and sighing, Feng Qi was not surprised.
Hence, he gave the second plan at this moment.
“Grandmaster, what do you think about me sponsoring this specialization?”
Hearing this, Bai Fusheng could not help but be stunned. Then, he glared and said,
“Kid, just tell me what your motive is. Don’t beat around the bush.”
Faced with Bai Fusheng’s reprimand, Feng Qi scratched his head.
“I only have one condition. The results produced by this specialization in the future will belong to me.”
“I understand. You’re preparing to open a studio specializing in virtual reality technology in the academy. During this period, the students you recruit will eat, drink, and stay in Star City Academy. It’s equivalent to asking the academy to support this group of people for you. Dream on.” Bai Fusheng couldn’t help but glare.
Hearing this, Feng Qi hurriedly shook his head.
“Grandmaster, you’ve misunderstood me. How could 1 have such wicked thoughts?”
“You’re right. I do want all the virtual reality technology students recruited in the future to live in Star City Academy, but if the technology produces results in the future, I’m willing to give Star City Academy 30% of the profit.”
“You also know that if this technology really succeeds, it will have a profound impact on human development. It will also benefit all of humanity. From mankind’s perspective, I think it’s worth a try.”
Looking at Feng Qi who was talking non-stop, Bai Fusheng fell silent.
After listening to Feng Qi’s description, he was undoubtedly tempted with this virtual reality technology.
If they could really create a game world similar to reality, and the spell trajectory in it was almost 1:1, it would definitely be an epoch-making product.
The most troublesome combat training problem that the various academies had could also be resolved.
Other than that, those middle school students who had yet to enter the academy, even elementary school students, could try to come into contact with cultivation in advance through this game.
From this aspect alone, this technique was even more valuable than a five-star cultivation technique.
The only problem was that he was full of doubts about Feng Qi’s ability to develop this epoch-making virtual reality game.
Feng Qi was the most talented student he had ever seen.
Even at his age, Wang Jinsheng was not as dazzling as him.
However, he felt that his steps were really too big.
He was still in the field of cultivation studies, but his second step was to step into the field of technology. He was really too restless.
At this thought, he couldn’t help but urge,
“To be honest, you’ve really convinced me. It’s not a big problem for you to open a virtual reality studio in the academy. As long as you report the details of the virtual reality technology, 1 think the Ministry of Education will approve it. After all, they don’t need to allocate funds. They also get 30% of the profits in the future.”
“If someone else had asked me this today, perhaps I would have agreed, but not you.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi was stunned.
“Why? Do you discriminate against geniuses?”
Bai Fusheng’s expression became very interesting at this moment. After taking a deep breath, he said with a glare,
“What 1 mean is that you have extremely outstanding talent in cultivation. You shouldn’t waste time in areas you’re not good at. You might end up with nothing after spending a deal of effort. You’ll waste your time and money for nothing.”
Understanding Bai Fusheng’s worries, Feng Qi smiled and said,
“Grandmaster, have you heard of all-rounded geniuses? They’re the kind of special geniuses who can achieve something in all aspects.”
Looking at Feng Qi who was gradually getting arrogant, Bai Fusheng was expressionless.
Do you think you are one?”
“Humbly, 1 am one.”
“You’re going to stubbornly insist on your own ideas?”
“I’m already confident. I;m only waiting for funds, talents, and your support, Grandmaster. When the time comes, we’ll all go down in history because of this technology. When future generations read this section of history, they’ll see this sentence.”
“The strongest genius in history, Feng Qi, created virtual technology and games that affected future generations with the support of Principal Bai Fusheng…”
Looking at Feng Qi, Bai Fusheng still did not understand where his confidence came from.
Are the minds of young people nowadays so jumpy?
He also realized that Feng Qi had already made a decision. Even if he did not support it, he would think of other ways to try.
After a moment of silence, Bai Fusheng said,
“I’ll give you three months to prepare and produce some results for me to see. I’ll go apply for the venue and dormitory.”
“Thank you, Grandmaster!” Feng Qi bowed decisively and thanked him.
“Don’t thank me. You have to promise me that if you can’t produce results in three months, don’t waste any more time on virtual reality technology.”
“No problem.” He nodded again.
Looking at the confident Feng Qi, Bai Fusheng laughed inwardly.
He did not doubt Feng Qi’s talent at all, but it was undoubtedly a fool’s dream to say that he could achieve results in virtual reality technology in three months.
He believed that in less than three months, Feng Qi would be obedient after hitting a wall.
“I’m going to get ready. Grandmaster, I’ll leave now,” Feng Qi stood up and said.
“Go on.”
After Feng Qi left, Bai Fusheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then, he shook his head and said,
“He’s arrogant and lacks a blow and tempering. This defeat should be able to wear him down a little.”
After leaving the principal’s office, Feng Qi walked straight out of the school gate.
After hailing a taxi, he immediately set off for his destination.
It was late at night.
In the eastern district of Star City, on the bridge across the lake.
A short-haired young man in a black T-shirt was sitting on the edge of the bridge, looking at the bustling night scenery of Star City under the neon lights in the distance, his eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Below his two legs that were suspended in the air was the inner lake of Star City, the Green Sky Lake. It was dozens of meters beneath the bridge.
As the night wind blew, the young man curled up his body. His expression was abnormally sad, and he was about to cry.
Just now… he had fallen out of love.
The woman who had agreed to grow old with him was snatched away by an extremely handsome male classmate from the next class.
He, who couldn’t think straight, was prepared to die for love at this moment.
Just as he was struggling and hesitating, a voice sounded in his ears.
“Jump, why aren’t you jumping? I’ve been watching you for a long time.”
The voice continued,
“Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence. A friend of mine jumped to his death here a few years ago. Unfortunately, after he died, the woman he liked was not sad at all. The people he hated the most also continued living well. The world operated as usual, but his parents suffered. They sent their child off and cried all day.”
Hearing this, the will to die in Fang Zhiyou’s heart disappeared. He could not help but turn around.
He realized that the person who spoke was a youth only a few years older than him. At this moment, he was standing not far away and smiling at him.
“Are you deliberately trying to anger me?” the young man asked angrily.
“The common problem of young people is that when they fall in love in their teens, they think that they have found the love of their lives. They will even commit suicide for this ignorant and childish love.”
“If you can turn back time, your future self will definitely slap you a few times to wake you up,” Feng Qi replied with a smile.
The young man in front of him, who was prepared to die for love, was his target this time, Fang Zhiyou.
He was a super genius in virtual technology, but also was a love-struck fool. What happened today would also change his life.
If Feng Qi didn’t stop him, Fang Zhiyou would really jump down.
Although he did not die from the fall, he was almost paralyzed.
After several unsuccessful treatments, he had a period of inspiration, but eventually fell into depression and died at home one day at the age of 27.
According to the netizens’ guesses, Fang Zhiyou had most likely died from suicide.
So here he was.
It was both to prevent the tragedy from happening and to give Fang Zhiyou a platform to display his abilities.
Looking at the confused Fang Zhiyou, Feng Qi continued to smile.
“The best way to deal a blow to your opponent is not to commit suicide. When they find out that you died for love, they will only laugh at your childishness, but 1 know a way to help you vent your anger.”
“What way?” Fang Zhiyou immediately asked.
“Make yourself outstanding enough. So outstanding that they can only look up to you.”
Looking at Feng Qi’s infectious smile, Fang Zhiyou was touched.
“What should I do?
“Treat me to supper. I’ll teach you.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiyou hesitated for a few seconds before decisively climbing down from the bridge. He came in front of Feng Qi and said,
“Okay, my treat..”
