Chapter 119 – Let Youxi Make the Decision

Surprisingly, it was not Artorix but Crixus who agreed next. The Roman soldiers appeared relaxed, and Furius was equally at ease.      “Hi, little friends! Do you still remember me? That’s right I’m the voice actor for Blue Cat, Ge Ping!” In order to prevent this child from having any regrets about her childhood, Mei Fang naturally wanted to fulfill Xia Yuan’s wishes.  

Yukino seemed to have a favorable impression of her. Perhaps, with her words, she is implying that she doesn’t need any further probing.  As one of the representative works of early local animation, 3000 Whys of Blue Cat^[1] and its various derivative works held cherished memories for many people born in the 80s and 90s. Its main feature was the clever integration of scientific knowledge into storytelling, covering various fields such as military, animals, and everyday life.

His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.      However, with the development of the internet, netizens became active on various forums, and there was a continuous stream of praise for the Blue Cat series as the best local animation. Naturally, this also brought forth opposing voices. Coupled with the declining reputation of recent sequels and ongoing controversies, Ge Ping, as the voice actor for the popular character Blue Cat, also became the target of many parodies. His mindset changed after watching a certain performance in his second year of high school. Aren’t we going to your house for lunch? 

However, it was impossible to keep a rebellion involving over two hundred gladiators completely secret. The enemy is attacking!        This particular parody video uploaded on C Site was only 3 minutes long, but it had already been viewed over 3,000 times in just one week. In fact, they had already reached a unanimous agreement earlier, so the vote now was just a formality. These cunning Romans!         

We didn’t have many opportunities to talk during the five-day journey, so today was the first day I really got to interact with them.   In the future internet era where millions of views are common, 3,000 views may seem insignificant in the future, but for Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, the operators of the small C Site, it felt like a massive blow. They had spent several nights urgently dealing with server overload and crashes caused by the increased traffic. After seeing Liang Meijuan and Lin Youxi off, Xia Yuan finally relaxed her previously tense mood. I’m not forcing Them. Tha is good! 

We shook hands, lightly shaking them once. What I feel from the other side of the screen is a world that keeps expanding endlessly.      “Why is everyone so interested in this kind of video?” Lin Youxi also watched the parody video titled Ge Pao^[2] herself and didn’t like it very much. “This kind of crude editing, the content is simply attacking Ge Ping, why are people so happy in the bullet comments?” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels , com

The soldiers were filled with renewed spirit, but some remained puzzled. Furius, bewildered, was swept away by the fleeing soldiers.   “I think it’s a matter of different perspectives,” Mei Fang explained. “For example, heavy metal or deathpunk music, many people don’t like it and think it’s noise, but many others enjoy it. You may find parody videos offensive, and that’s normal, but some people just find it funny. After all, everyone has a lot of stress in their lives, and watching normally serious characters act crazy in these parody videos can help relax their mood to some extent.” Although this happened when Lin Youxi was only three or four years old, she might have recalled this familiar scene. Wait a minute.  

Vorenus entered the room and saw Maximus sitting at the edge of the bed. Frontinus, do you see anything else that needs attention?     “However, personal attacks are indeed not good. That point is true. But if the person involved doesn’t mind, then it should be fine…” Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over. 

Although Lin Youxi’s dad is busy, whenever he has time, he always invites Mei Fang to their house and cooks for him. It's okay.        Mei Fang himself wasn’t a fan of parody content with a mocking tone. He only occasionally watched some less offensive and humorous parody videos. However, he vividly remembered that this event from his past life was a significant turning point event, although it seemed to have happened on A Site back then, but this time, it coincidentally appeared on C Site. Xia Yuan showed a bewildered expression, exchanged a few words with her mom, and then hung up the phone. Mei Fang sighed helplessly. 

Although it might be suffocating at times, it was not a big deal to me whether or not Alexis was breathing down my neck. I am Lutz.     Mei Fang noticed that the number of registered members on the platform was skyrocketing in the backend. From the previous two or three per day, it had now reached 40 or 50 new registrations per day. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels, com

Drawn to the unexpected sight, Yukino entered further into the room. Curious about their conversation, I stopped and looked toward them.  After becoming official members, they also have the right to post bullet comments and upload videos. But… come to think of it, is this bandwidth cost for real? With Melfina as an example, the marriageable age in this world was quite early. Hello, I’m Melfina. Can you tell me your name? Rod!   

His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.      Video streaming websites often had to pay for two parts of server fees. One part was the storage resource cost, which referred to the resources stored on the website, such as the uploaded videos and account data. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels. com

His parents got married at a young age, and now they were only in their late twenties, not much older than Mei Fang when he died.      The other cost was the bandwidth cost. Whether the users on the website could smoothly play your videos online depended on the capacity of your bandwidth. Support the translator by reading @ gem novels. com

We didn’t have many opportunities to talk during the five-day journey, so today was the first day I really got to interact with them.   If your bandwidth was small but there were many users playing videos online at the same time, there might be insufficient bandwidth, resulting in buffering. It’s the name of mankind’s last fortress city, a mixture of metal and stone. The amount of money required for the this was enormous.   

It was a few days ago when he heard that a new lord would be coming to the neglected lord’s mansion. N-No, it’s… not a problem at all.  Previously, Mei Fang had a 20 Mbps server bandwidth, which supported up to 100 people watching online videos without buffering, with a monthly cost of 1200 yuan. Now, he wanted to upgrade to 100 Mbps, and the cost suddenly jumped to 100,000 yuan per year, which was 8000 yuan per month. The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.

However, Spartacus couldn’t immediately abandon the troops and leave. In the afternoon, the troops arrived outside the city of Capua.  No wonder many people say that running a video site is like burning money. Where did sites like AcFun and Bilibili get so much money in their early days? Xia Yuan showed a bewildered expression, exchanged a few words with her mom, and then hung up the phone. Mei Fang sighed helplessly. 

Although it might be suffocating at times, it was not a big deal to me whether or not Alexis was breathing down my neck. I am Lutz.     They really just relied on financing to get by, huh! Because platforms can directly receive user payments in real-time, they can first receive the money earned and then distribute it.   

Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over.   After seeing the exaggerated cost of bandwidth, Mei Fang now felt like he made a wrong move. On one hand, C Site was indeed replicating the prosperous path of Bilibili in his previous life, but it didn’t have a stable cash flow. C Site itself would take several more years for it to start making money. It seemed that Yukino had grown closer to Aisha. As I watched with interest, numbers in light blue appeared on the back of her hand.   

Before long, the three hundred soldiers shouted and rushed towards the farm 100 meters away. He saw the situation and calmed down.     Because he was eager to occupy Bilibili’s path from his previous life, he created C Site. As a result, he couldn’t devote much energy to game development. It was still too early for Bitcoin to play a role, and although his savings were already quite impressive, with the way video websites burned money on bandwidth, he didn’t have that much to spare. Alexis however, trampled brutally on Milfina’s wishes and prayers. Thank you. Please consult with me again if anything else comes up. 

After seeing Liang Meijuan and Lin Youxi off, Xia Yuan finally relaxed her previously tense mood. I’m not forcing Them. Tha is good!   Mei Fang didn’t let Lin Youxi worry too much about money matters. He just wanted her to focus on studying web technology. At the end of June 2010, Lin Youxi, who was maintaining the website’s operation, brought Mei Fang a piece of news. She said that she received a private message from a network company called Manhattan Technology. Mei Fang had never heard of this company in his previous life, but they expressed their willingness to buy the domain name of C Site along with its development source code for 100,000 yuan. Spartacus led his troops quietly to the Roman army camp. Spartacus led the troops to bypass the city of Capua and continued forward. 

In this world, paper books were extremely valuable and considered treasures. Yes, the leftover parts after harvesting the barley ears.  Receiving this, Mei Fang remained calm, not showing too much excitement on his face, and he looked at Lin Youxi, who was staring at the private message. His mindset changed after watching a certain performance in his second year of high school. Aren’t we going to your house for lunch? 

Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over.   “If they really want to buy it, would you be willing to sell the website to them?” As if indicating that she had finished speaking, Marie fell silent again. But I absolutely refuse to serve a god in this kind of world.

Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.     Lin Youxi shook her head, “The website was developed by you, Ah Fang, so you should decide on it.” Xia Yuan enjoyed breathing in the fresh air on the road. When passing by Lin Youxi’s house, she looked around. She must be happy.    

Xiang Xiaoxia poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Mei Fang, who was playing video games with her sister. She must be happy.    “How could it be me?” The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.

With all the preparations in place, they chose a weekend to shoot the promotional video at school. Don’t knock, wait a moment.         Mei Fang smiled, “I only worked with you on the initial development of the basic modules, and you were the one who spent time and effort on the subsequent maintenance.” Aisha is being targeted by a faction led by her father’s younger brother, her uncle. I let out a sigh and let go of the controller.    

His mindset changed after watching a certain performance in his second year of high school. Aren’t we going to your house for lunch?   “But the money spent on the website all came from Ah Fang…” The meat they bought was chicken, with a clean, fresh pink color. While traveling along a mountain, they were caught up in a landslide.

Bathed in the white moonlight, she looked at me with a faint glow. This platform seems to be a special tool used to measure that level.  “But I haven’t paid you a salary, have I?” After a while, the Roman legion completed its formation but remained stationary. m… when I left, it was about three kilometers.      

As Mei Fang searched for the photos on his phone, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi quickly grabbed it to look. Yes, I came here today for this.  Lin Youxi remained silent. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels ,com

Lin Youxi ran ahead and then pulled down her eyelids, making a funny face at Mei Fang. Auntie doesn’t need your help, understood?      Mei Fang continued, “You should know that the name of this site is C Site, it’s Youxi’s website, and it’s up to you whether to sell it or not.” Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.   

A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.  Letting Lin Youxi, a child, make this decision was indeed a bit difficult and cruel for her. After all, for a child to earn 100,000 yuan was already an incredible feat. After a while, the Roman legion completed its formation but remained stationary. m… when I left, it was about three kilometers.      

After a while, the Roman legion completed its formation but remained stationary. m… when I left, it was about three kilometers.        But selling it also meant that all her efforts over the years would be reduced to just that sum of money. After a while, the Roman legion completed its formation but remained stationary. m… when I left, it was about three kilometers.      

Spartacus led his troops quietly to the Roman army camp. Spartacus led the troops to bypass the city of Capua and continued forward.   Lin Youxi had been studying streaming video website technology for a long time and had a general understanding of her position. A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable. Xiang Xiaoxia sighed helplessly.

They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor.   If her level of dedication to this website was only this much, Mei Fang couldn’t expect her to lead C Site further on her own. It would be better to focus on game development together and there were many well-known game developers waiting for Mei Fang’s investment. Marie turned her large eyes towards me and smiled slightly. Even if it wasn’t my own experience, I thought it was a terrible story.   

However, Spartacus couldn’t immediately abandon the troops and leave. In the afternoon, the troops arrived outside the city of Capua.  “Ah Fang… I still don’t want to sell it.” Yukino and Aisha, who were sitting across from each other, ordered iced tea. After quickly examining Yukino, the woman called me over. 

They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor.   Lin Youxi shook her head. “I think our C Site can still go further. If we don’t have enough money right now, the current bandwidth is still manageable. I can continue doing game boosting and save some money from my meal card… As long as C Site continues to gain popularity, we’ll eventually attract investments, don’t you think?” Support the translator by reading @ gem novels,com

Maximus, who had already taken his position at the front of the formation, was not surprised by this. Crixus looked down at the water  Mei Fang shook his head this time. Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels . com

As if indicating that she had finished speaking, Marie fell silent again. But I absolutely refuse to serve a god in this kind of world.  “The wheels of time are moving forward. It’s already the era of 3G technology. If C Site experiences buffering even when playing 360p videos, it will lose its competitiveness in the market. If we continue like this, the reputation of C Site will only get worse and it won’t attract any investments.” Support the translator by reading @ gem novels {dot} com

Xiang Xiaoxia poked her head out of the kitchen and asked Mei Fang, who was playing video games with her sister. She must be happy.    “So… do you think we should sell the website?” The one of the porters who had been carrying our belongings all the way here timidly spoke up. Going to a convent was not a bad thing.

Although I had no intention of getting deeply involved and was about to leave her behind, I couldn’t say that. Should I challenge there?  Lin Youxi looked a bit dejected, “Since Ah Fang also thinks so, then there’s no other way…” In order to prevent this child from having any regrets about her childhood, Mei Fang naturally wanted to fulfill Xia Yuan’s wishes.  

Aisha then lowered her gaze, looking somewhat worried. Her back and voice trembled. And the sound of sniffing could be heard from her.   “Ah, no, you misunderstand.” Since the master bedroom was also closed off, I opened the windows. It had solid scenarios and was quite enjoyable even in light mode.

While Mei Fang and Lin were conversing, Yue suddenly stood up, covering her mouth, and made a face as if she was about to vomit.       Mei Fang explained, “What I mean is, C Site must improve its bandwidth. Otherwise, it won’t be able to expand further and won’t attract capital investment.” Support the translator by reading @ gem novels,com

Never defy them. Just bow your head and endure whatever was told to you, like waiting for a storm to pass. Yes, please do as you wish.  “But… just upgrading to 100 Mbps bandwidth will cost nearly 10,000 yuan a month?” However, Spartacus couldn’t immediately abandon the troops and leave. In the afternoon, the troops arrived outside the city of Capua.

Aisha then lowered her gaze, looking somewhat worried. Her back and voice trembled. And the sound of sniffing could be heard from her.   “It’s okay… although I also think it’s outrageously expensive, maybe we won’t need to persist for a year before attracting investment, right?” They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor. 

However, not everyone was in that situation. We decided to have ramen for dinner, which we usually only passed by but could not eat.     “Ah Fang… do you really have that much money?” Lin Youxi’s gaze was filled with astonishment. “Is it…earned from games?” After the three left, Maximus fell into deep thought. After drinking water and washing his face, Cossinius found a spot and lay down.

They could all be played, but the only downside was that both Resident Evil and Anacondas had Chinese dubs. That'd be quite a favor.   Mei Fang nodded and smiled, “If you trust me, it is.” Support the translator by reading @ gemnovels,com
