<h4>Chapter 270: Wish to be a Monopolist of Knowledge</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Nyoi-Bo Studio <strong>Editor: </strong>Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Wu Yunxing, 26. An ordinary office worker. Engaged in software programming work.


    He was a so-called ‘coding peasant’.


    His programming skills was so so. His wages were still okay, at about 20k per month.


    He was amitted hedonist. He would spend all the money he earned every month. Every weekend, he would tour around just everywhere on his 400-thousand-dor Jaguar along with his gang of scoundrels, going fishing, barbecuing and even going on some expeditions to some deep mountain areas. He lived a chic life.


    Hm? That was illogical. Since he was from the Moonlight n, how did he amass 400 thousand dors to buy a Jaguar?


    The money, of course, was from home.


    His family was a major contributor for grain supplies. Their family had more than 1000 acres ofnd in their hometown of Nanyun Province, gaining them a considerable amount of revenues every year. Moreover, he was the only child at home. His parents dotted him a lot. What he wants, he gets.


    In spite of that, Wu Yunxin was reluctant to return to his hometown and take over his parents’rge grain fields. He would rather be a small programmer in a big city.


    The vige was too boring. Despite the vige having fresh air and beautiful scenery, he still preferred the hustles and bustles of the city. Furthermore, his body can’t do rough work. He knew nothing about farming, and farming was not swanky enough for him either. He was truly not made for growing nts. But every time he remembered how his parents looked at him with some kind of expectation in their eyes, and their stuttering voices through phone calls which they seemingly wanted to tell him something, a stinging feeling would stir up in his heart... as if a tug-of-war was happening between the bustling city and the tranquil vige.


    In fact, he does not fancy a programmer’s job. What he liked was to travel around the world, looking at the scenery of various ces and take part in some exciting outdoor adventures. But as he had gone to manynds and got tired with the ever-changing scenery, in the end, he realized: his hometown had the best view and the best people.


    He felt his heart throbbing... calling him back home to inherit his family’s property.


    However, he was only 26 this year. He was still young. Until this day, he had no achievements. The money in his savings had never gone past five digits.


    “It’s better if I work another two years, earn some money, then go home, startup a countryside tourism business and make a promotion website or something. This could stop people from babbling about me.”


    After making this decision, he went out less frequently with his friends and was able to save up some 10 thousand bucks every month. Through his hard work, his programming skills improved by a considerable margin.


    Upon seeing Xing Hai Technologies’s product conference for the “Star Brain No. 4” AI Chip, he was utterly amazed. The “Intelligent Age” described by Xing Hai Technologies was actually so exaggerated and magnificent at the same time.


    An era in which knowledge bes skill sets.


    upational barrierspletely vanishing.


    Anyone with a little bit of hands-on ability can repair a spaceship.


    Wu Yunxing held his fragile little heart and said, “You scared me with your wild ambitions Xing Hai Technologies!”


    “I still thought that you guys were pure hearted warriors yesterday. Who would’ve known that you people will vilify into a demon lord so swiftly?”


    Exactly! He was talking about their wild ambition!


    Anybody with even tiny amounts of distinguishing abilities could discern Xing Hai Technologies secluded raging wild ambitions. As the onlypany that had mastered the “intelligent learning technology” in the whole world, the reason why Xing Hai Technologies kindheartedly imparted their “Star Brain No. 4” chip, provided the StarNet tform, and called uponpanies or individuals to develop the work assistance for various industries could be seen with a nce.


    Knowledge!


    To garner knowledge that extends to infinity and beyond.


    Wu Yunxin thumped his chest, “You’ve change Xing Hai Technologies, you’ve changed. You actually wished to monopolize knowledge itself. Now you want all industries to help you evolve into a super demon lord?”


    All torn up.


    Apany that was brimming with kindness and justice suddenly plunged into the trench of atrocity. He was utterly disappointed!


    After he was done with his insults.


    He intended to resign immediately, then recruit a few partners to form a team. He and his newly formed team would buy a “Star Brain No. 4” AI chip, apply to be a developer at the StarNet tform and develop a bombshell product – the Farming Assistant.


    That’s right, he also intended to join the ranks of the demon lord, leading his partners to seek the true path in farming.


    If he sessfully develops the “Farming Assistant” and his product gain entrée to the market, not only that he would gain the vigers favor and earn a heck ton of money, he could also put his heads up in the sky in front of his rtives and friends when he returns home... a gloriouseback indeed.


    This was much better than doing countryside tourism.


    It would be fine even if he failed. By creating a “Farming Assistant” for himself, constantly amassing skills and expertise, he would also turn into an excellent farmer in a few years’ time.


    Thinking about this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “I’m actually so excited. Is farming truly my calling?”


    ...


    Huxi Province.


    In the courtyard of a pig factory.


    “Do you mean that if I ask somebody to make a ‘Pig Rearing Assistant’, my techniques will all be stolen by Xing Hai Technologies?” pig rearer Huang Hongdong asked after listening to the words of the only schr in town.


    “Uhm... you can say it that way. After all, all the database will be uploaded to Xing Hai Technologies’s servers.” the college student nodded and said.


    “No no no! This can’t happen!”


    Huang Hongdong shook his head violently, “If my secret technique is stolen by Xing Hai Technologies and they make a pig factory, won’t I lose all my fortune?”


    Huang Hongdong who had 30 years of experience in the field had his own way of rearing pigs. There were only a few within the country that imed superiority over him in the field.


    The pigs he rears grow fast, require less injections and had high meat content. Besides, he had a secret technique which allowed him to lower fodder usage by 10%, thus reducing total costs by 20%.


    With this secret technique of his, in the pig rearing industry which was said to have “one year profit, one year break-even, one year loss”, he still managed to profit every year.


    But what was the point of him being so good in rearing pigs?


    None of his three sons were interested in raising pigs and were reluctant to work in his factory. This college student on the other hand had already stayed in his pig factory clenching his teeth for more than half a year, just to be with his youngest daughter.


    “Uncle, Xing Hai Technologies will not open a pig factory.”


    The college student exined, “Every pig of yours in this factory earns you two to three hundred dors, an ok-ish revenue. But Xing Hai Technologies is apany doing high tech products, they won’t even bother to look at these little profits of yours. You worry too much.”


    “But if you are willing to take out some money and let me help make a ‘Pig Rearing Assistant’ for you and upload your most advanced pig rearing expertise to the server, this technique of yours won’t be lost in time. It can be passed down one generation after another. This bowl of rice will forever be in the possession of the Huang’s.” the college student said on paper. In fact, his actual intentions were: after hees up with the pig rearing assistant, he would sell the assistant to all the pig factories within the country. In that way, the profit he would make would far exceed that of guarding this single pig factory.


    It won’t be lost?


    His words touched the bottom of Huang Hongdong’s heart. His old eyes glowed.


    He was already near his sixties. Three of his sons were useless. The college student in front of him was not bad, but he was not willing to be married into the family and call himself a Huang, thus making him an outsider. But his pig rearing techniques and pig factory must be preserved for his future generations.


    After some thought, he nodded, “Alright, I will give you the money. Go make a ‘Pig Rearing Assistant’ for me and give it to my grandchildren in the future.”


    As for Xing Hai Technologies, if they dare rear pigs with his technique, he would definitely take them into court!
