Following the New Year, with the rollout of Lechang Network's internationalization strategy, it expanded its personnel again. Eye-catching recruitment notices began appearing in major media outlets. Mo Yuqing, at this time, practically became Lechang Network's full-time headhunter, helping the company connect with many talented individuals. Lechang Network, under Dream International, also underwent restructuring. Liu Jun became President of Dream International and General Manager of Lechang Network; Chen Yi became Vice President of Dream International responsible for overseas affairs; Han Xue was promoted to Vice President of Lechang Network… Lechang Network was reorganized into several major departments, including Lechang City Department, Battle Platform Department, Instant Messaging Department, Video-on-Demand Department, Space Services Department, Search Department, and Online Shopping Department.

In the following days, Su Yi was in the company's server room, directing the technicians to modify all the servers to the new architecture. The official version of the Kuafu system was complete, and after Su Yi's encapsulation, there was no longer any risk of leakage. However, changing the servers to the new architecture array was also a complex issue, as it was necessary to minimize the impact on normal users.

Fortunately, once the new server array was designed, it could be installed one server at a time. Therefore, the most time-consuming part was the installation and debugging of the new system on all the servers. Without affecting normal user access, the entire project took a full five days. During this time, users only experienced some lag during peak network hours, but there were no widespread instances of being unable to connect to the server. After all the server upgrades were completed, Lechang's server array can now handle twice the user traffic compared to before.

Currently, online games are gradually emerging in China, with many titles already on the market. Although Q-style online games still dominate, and the variety of games is still limited with significant homogenization, many have recognized the market's enormous potential. Most importantly, unlike single-player games, online games completely eliminate the problem of piracy. For ordinary players, being able to play, communicate, and battle with thousands of other players simultaneously in the virtual world of the internet offers a novel and exciting experience.

Su Yi also saw the vitality of this market, so after completing the Kuafu operating system, he focused his energy on the production of online games. This online game, named "Evolution," will be based on his first game, "Historic Evolution." Su Yi has adjusted various systems to enhance online interactivity. Moreover, to bring players a novel experience, "Evolution" will also feature a completely new, massive map and an evolutionary city-tribe system. Although based on "Historic Evolution," this online game will present a brand-new look to players.

In fact, this online game was already in his plans from the very beginning. "Evolution of History" can only be considered a prelude to this game. However, he himself did not expect that this prelude would be so popular, which is another reason why he handed over the game to a distributor. But then again, if he had created the sales network himself at the time, "Evolution of History" would certainly not have achieved its current success without the mature promotion strategies and sales systems of the two major companies.

Moreover, "Evolution of History" also helped Lechang's gaming platform expand overseas, which was a pleasant surprise.

Since the game "Evolution" already existed as a foundation, the most difficult part of "Evolution" was simply adjusting and creating the characters and various systems. Su Yi conservatively estimated that if he devoted himself to it, twenty days would be enough.

Time flies when you're focused on your work. By the time Su Yi received a call from Mo Yuqing inviting him to her house for dinner, it was already the Lantern Festival.

Having not seen Mo Jin'er for several days, she jumped into Su Yi's arms as soon as she saw him, pouting and saying coquettishly, "Daddy, why haven't you come to see Jin'er for so many days? Does Daddy not like Jin'er anymore?"

Hearing her say that, Su Yi coaxed her again, and she finally smiled and pulled him to take her to set off fireworks. Before, because of her illness, her family wouldn't let Jin'er be afraid when setting off firecrackers, fearing it would frighten her and trigger her illness. Therefore, during holidays like these, she could only watch others happily setting off fireworks from afar. Now that she was better, she, being a child at heart, wanted to make up for everything. Su Yi understood her feelings, so he stayed with her until she was completely satisfied.

I didn't see Zhang Cheng come over today. Well, the Lantern Festival is a day for family reunions, and people usually stay home for meals. Mo Jin'er quietly told Su Yi that the uncle had been coming to her maternal grandfather's house frequently these past few days, trying to talk to her mother. The little girl's words betrayed her displeasure. In her young heart, she always felt that her mother, father, and she should be together, and naturally, she wasn't happy to see someone intruding.

At mealtime, the table was full of people again. Mo Yuqing's mother seemed to really like Su Yi, constantly putting food on his plate. Su Yi ate heartily, praising the delicious food, which brought a smile to Mo's mother's face. When he was little, he always thought restaurant food tasted better, but now that he often eats out, he often misses the meals his mother used to cook for him. Although they couldn't compare to the dishes made by chefs in hotels in terms of color, aroma, and taste, those dishes had a taste of home.

That evening, Su Yi was playing a game on his laptop in the guest room. Little Jin'er had been taken to take a bath by her mother, and Su Yi took advantage of this quiet moment to catch up on his online game. Suddenly, Su Yi heard a knock on the door. Hearing the voice, Su Yi knew it wasn't Mo Yuqing; Mo Yuqing's knocks always had a gentle rhythm. It certainly wasn't Jin'er; she usually rushed in as soon as the door opened. Sure enough, Su Yi then heard a man's voice: "Little Yi, are you asleep?" This voice belonged to Mo Yuqing's brother, Mo Jianfeng.

Su Yi opened the door and saw Mo Jianfeng standing there. He said to him, "Xiao Yi, you're not asleep yet, are you? If you're not asleep, come have a drink with me and let's talk."

Because he had always admired soldiers, Su Yi felt a strong liking for this man with a distinctly military bearing. Plus, he was Mo Yuqing's brother, which made him feel even closer to him. Therefore, Su Yi readily agreed, "Okay, but I can't hold my liquor well, so please don't mind, Brother Mo." Actually, due to his constitution, Su Yi no longer experienced the effects of being drunk. But sometimes he thought that not being able to get drunk while drinking was a bit of a disappointment.

"You kid, don't be modest with me. With my years of experience, I can pretty much tell who can drink and who can't," Mo Jianfeng said with a smile as he walked into the restaurant with Su Yi.

Mo Jianfeng went to the kitchen and found some pork head meat and a roast chicken, placed them on the table, and said to Su Yi, "At this time, we can't find anything else, so let's just make do for now. I'll go get some wine." After saying that, he went to get a bottle of Wuliangye. This bottle of Wuliangye was not the kind that could be bought on the market that had been diluted with water; it was a genuine military-supplied liquor. As soon as the bottle was opened, the rich aroma of the liquor wafted out.
