[DING...]
[Philosophy System has been unlocked!]
[Loading all existing social science and humanities knowledge...]
A cold, yet familiar voice rang out. This was the first time the long-dormant system had suddenly reacted!
Lin Feng suddenly felt his consciousness being pulled into a blank space.
A virtual LED screen appeared before him. Then, like a hologram, 3D images of ancient philosophers materialized beside it.
These great figures of philosophy acted like individual lecturers.
They eloquently recounted to Lin Feng all the viewpoints they held and all the discoveries they made throughout their lives.
Whenever Lin Feng furrowed his brow at something he didn’t understand, one of the figures beside him would quickly provide an explanation.
Lin Feng’s gaze gradually transformed from bewildered to wise, then from wise to clear, as if he had seen through all of life’s complexities and worldly pressures, and in doing so, attained a new life.
The greatest truths are the simplest. Having seen through the reality of all things, one no longer faces the world with a complicated mindset. Instead, one’s approach is filled with greater tolerance and care. That clarity in his eyes proved he had accepted the world and everything in it.
"You didn’t have to fall asleep that fast..."
Of course, Su Ruoxi had no idea what was happening to Lin Feng.
All she knew was that as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Feng had suddenly closed his eyes. His breathing grew steady, and he became completely still.
Su Ruoxi sighed to herself.
She could only gently help Lin Feng lie down flat, then carefully tucked the blanket back over him.
Even for a philosophical genius of exceptional talent, mastering all philosophical knowledge from ancient to modern times would take hundreds of years. Yet, Lin Feng absorbed it all in just three hours.
The moment Lin Feng opened his eyes, the dark room was suddenly illuminated by a beam of light. It was a pale blue radiance, like the light of human wisdom itself!
Lin Feng took a sharp, deep breath.
He looked down and saw the neatly arranged blanket covering him, and a warm smile touched his lips.
Even if he now understood the stars and the earth, the vicissitudes of the world, and the passage of time...
In the end, what truly put him at ease, what truly made him happy, were the small things this woman by his side did for him.
Perhaps one only understands what is most important, what is most worth cherishing, after seeing through all the world’s complex entanglements.
Suddenly, a deafening crack of thunder shattered the quiet night, and Lin Feng’s heart jolted!
It felt like something was about to happen!
A sudden sense of foreboding filled Lin Feng’s heart, but he couldn’t think of any crisis he might be facing soon.
After all, everything was proceeding according to plan. Even Lin Xiaoman’s business wasn’t facing any major crisis. The people he loved were happy, healthy, and safe.
And the people he disliked hadn’t been bothering him lately. So why did this feeling suddenly rise up inside him?
That bolt of lightning had completely chased away his sleepiness.
He walked silently to the observatory on the roof, gazing at the overcast sky.
Watching the flashes of lightning and listening to the rumbles of thunder in the distance, he didn’t know what to think, nor what his future held.
It was as the poem says: when you stand at the summit, all other peaks look small.
Right now, Lin Feng was already standing at the apex of the pyramid. Whether in terms of IQ or EQ, the abilities he possessed or the wealth he commanded, almost no one could compare.
But even so, Lin Feng always felt a sense of insecurity.
Especially at the age of twenty. He was just a kid who hadn’t experienced any real storms. Everything had gone smoothly: he’d smoothly obtained the system, smoothly unlocked a life that was basically on cheat mode.
He possessed what others could only dream of in a lifetime, but Lin Feng understood that perhaps only by experiencing immense suffering, enduring countless setbacks, and tasting a small bit of success after overcoming impossible odds could one feel truly at ease with their achievements.
But now, his success had come too quickly, leaving Lin Feng with the feeling that one day, it would all fade away.
When the system was gone, when the tide receded.
’Will I still be the man standing at the apex of the pyramid?’
Lin Feng just stood there, quietly watching the sky, contemplating life. He wondered what the future held for him while trying to come to terms with everything he was now. After all, a mind filled with philosophy, having seen the world’s true essence, is a mind primed for endless troubles.
All philosophers spend their entire lives worrying, their entire lives searching for answers.
But how many of them ever truly find one?
Meanwhile.
In another corner of the globe, lightning also flashed and a violent storm raged.
But their faces were filled with eerie smiles.
"Douhu’s growth is getting more and more aggressive. They’re trying to monopolize the entire market now. And that Lin Feng behind it all is just some punk in his twenties. To think he could achieve all this... It’s truly unexpected, even for me."
A middle-aged man with a fleshy, thuggish face squinted his eyes, also watching the distant lightning, and let out a sigh of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
’When I was in my twenties, I was just a hopeless otaku who stayed home watching anime all day.’
’I went through my days in a daze, completely lost. I even used my brutish build to act like a little punk, going out fighting, robbing people, and mooching off others.’
’If not for the fact that there were so many opportunities back then, and that I had a benefactor to support me, I’d probably be a down-and-out bum on the streets right now.’
"President Chen, they have way too many resources now. And most people have gone over to watch their streams."
"The main thing is, a lot of our streamers have jumped ship to their platform, or are even working there part-time. If everyone shifts their focus to Douhu, there’s no way for our Little Broken Station to keep growing!"
The fleshy-faced man from before was none other than Chen Guoqiao, the CEO of Little Broken Station, a company that was still experiencing explosive growth itself!
It had to be said, although he was a self-proclaimed otaku loser...
...Chen Guoqiao had a keen eye and a sharp mind. He had successfully grasped the preferences of contemporary youth, making anime and long-form video content the pillar of his website’s development.
Thus, relying on his forward-thinking vision and the continuous support of powerful backers, Little Broken Station’s growth had always been fierce.
But with the continuous development of the internet and constant technological updates...
People were increasingly drawn to live-streamed content. They liked watching regular people, these streamers, share embarrassing moments from their lives, or even just watch them play games, whether they were good or comically bad at them.
Of course, Little Broken Station had been one of the first companies to develop a live-streaming business.
And for a very long time, it had occupied the leading position.
However, with the constant growth of the dark horse Douhu, Little Broken Station began to feel increasingly threatened.
The most terrifying part was that, under Lin Feng’s direction and the management of his COO...
Douhu had also begun to blossom in all areas, developing short-form and long-form video content services.
And because more and more streamers were setting up shop on Douhu, they were keeping their highest quality, most audience-grabbing content exclusively on Douhu!
