Chapter 123： On the Road

At the headquarters of Penguin Group.

Li Daode looked at the data on the screen, unable to suppress a smug smile.

Hmph.

Our 'Soulmate' feature has only been online for a few hours.

The data is already so astonishing!

It won't be long before your Gemini is left in the dust!

What crappy algorithms? I could easily replicate them!

Creator, ha!

Not worth mentioning!

Li Daode then picked up the phone and called Teng Hualong with excitement.

"Hello, President Teng, our new feature has been a great success!"

"Hmm, I see. It looks good!"

"Haha, President Teng, you were so cautious before. I think you overestimated those Creator guys; they're nothing special! No one can compete with us Penguins!"

Teng Hualong's voice was tinged with anger: "Li Vice President, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't get too complacent, and don't underestimate Creator! This is just the beginning!"

Li Daode frowned, thinking Teng was being overly cautious!

It's precisely because of your caution that we Penguins are still restricted to Huaxia!

Moreover, recently we've been revising our strategy, promoting the concept of comprehensive internet service providers, and discouraging group plagiarism.

Sigh... he's too rigid!

If I were in charge, Penguins would have already dominated internationally!

Li Daode thought this but responded, "Don't worry, President Teng, I will handle it carefully and give you a satisfactory answer!"

At this time, three hours had passed since Penguin released 'Soulmate.'

A flood of comments had appeared online!

"Penguin quickly breaks through and obtains Gemini's core feature. Gemini is on the brink of collapse!"

"Emperor Three's so-called programming genius still can't match Penguin's talent pool!"

"Creator is too young and ultimately lost to the deep-rooted Penguin!"

"Emerging internet companies fail to break through, Penguin's blockade is as solid as steel!"

At the Creator company.

The atmosphere was busy!

Programmers were typing furiously, keyboards clacking away!

Designers were clicking their mice non-stop, eyes focused and intent!

Even administrative and internal staff were typing rapidly in the office!

Running around!

Delivering documents, bringing coffee, extremely busy!

A Jia was in the office, keeping his eyes fixed on the work progress without distraction!

In his mind, Liu Di's 12-hour countdown was akin to a life-or-death situation!

"Emperor Three! I've encountered a problem here, could you come over?"

A programmer suddenly raised his hand, sweating profusely!

Liu Di approached.

"Boss, there's an issue with the code here, I can't get the logic right! It's throwing errors!"

Liu Di gently patted his shoulder and smiled, "Relax a bit."

Then, the programmer vacated the seat.

Liu Di slowly sat down, crossed his fingers, and stretched his muscles.

The nearby workers all leaned in, peering out.

A beautiful female colleague whispered, "Boss's fingers are so beautiful, long and white. He must play the piano incredibly well!"

Another female colleague added, "What are you talking about? Boss's not just his fingers beautiful; isn't his face beautiful too?"

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly, the keyboard tapping grew so dense it was almost like a connected line of sound!

Liu Di's fingers danced over the keyboard, moving so fast they nearly left an afterimage!

The code on the screen showed no pause.

Lines flew by swiftly, smooth as flowing water!

The programmers watched in increasing astonishment!

This speed was almost comparable to copy-pasting!

And the code was all pointed and precise!

No extraneous bits.

Both refined and logically clear!

Before joining the company.

The Demon Child had helped Liu Di integrate top-notch programming techniques and the most advanced code ideas from the internet!

Plus, Liu Di's new human system meant his reaction speed from fingers to brain was at least 20 times that of an ordinary person!

The computer in front of him couldn't keep up with Liu Di's input.

It was lagging.

But Liu Di continued to type blind!

Two seconds later, the stuck screen finally displayed dozens of lines of code at once!

The programmers' lips quivered slightly.

This is truly a master...

No, this is simply a superhuman!

He's so powerful!

I really want to know if there's anyone in the world who is better than Emperor Three at programming?

Amitabha!

Great God above, I bow to you!

More and more people arrived, forming a small stage around Liu Di.

Five minutes later.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds—wanting to kneel.

Tap!

Liu Di lightly hit the final return key.

"Phew... Done!"

He turned around to see faces frozen in shock and numbness.

Liu Di was slightly surprised, "What's wrong, has the work on your hands been completed?"

"Uh... Sorry, Boss!"

Boom...

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts!

They rushed back to their own workstations, filled with excitement!

I need to work hard!

I also want the hand speed and thinking of Emperor Three!

Tap tap tap...

The sound of keyboards filled the air!

Creator was busy once again!

Striving towards their dreams, towards their idol!

Eleven hours later.

Penguin Company's Vice President's office.

Li Daode stared at the data screen in front of him.

His face turned green!

The 'Soulmate' feature had been online for 11 hours.

Negative reviews were pouring in!

"What a piece of junk!"

"I thought it would help me find a soulmate like Gemini! Instead, I'm getting a bunch of random hookups!"

"I chatted up there for a while, expecting a refined lady, but she turned out to be a foot-fetish guy!"

"I'm into off-roading, sure, but why are you pushing me a bunch of car salespeople?"

"What you're dealing with is nothing, mine is even worse!"

"I've been having some heart discomfort recently and visited the hospital a few times. They actually matched me with a funeral service butler! I'm so pissed off!"

"Zero stars, get lost!"

"If it weren't for my clients being here, I'd delete this app immediately. It's making me nauseous!"

"Old Penguin, don't worry, there are countless more bad reviews on the way..."

Seeing this.

Li Daode's face turned as green as if painted with green paint.

Indeed, as the comments said, countless negative reviews were on their way.

The higher the previous activity, the more the negative reviews followed!

He glanced at the trembling technical director beside him.

Li Daode's brows furrowed, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The technical director wiped his sweat.

"Mr. Li, at this point, I'll be honest!"

"Gemini's technology is simply non-replicable!"

"I'm a technical director with 20 years in network development... I can't even understand their code!"

"Our Soulmate feature is just a superficial layer!"

"It looks like stranger matching, but it's actually just junk!"

"I was forced by you to make something like this!"

"Real soulmate matching, I can't achieve!"

"Do whatever you want with me!"

The technical director said this, turned his head, and showed a face of despair!

Li Daode's body swayed!

Everything in front of him turned black, and he felt dizzy!

"Get out... Get out of here!"

Dingling...

Li Daode's phone rang.

Caller: Teng Hualong!
