Chapter 362: Chapter 329: The Damn System Is Stirring Up Trouble
The black Maybach sped toward Misty Peak. The two listened to music and chatted idly from time to time, which made the time seem to fly by even faster.
At around two or three in the afternoon, Ye Ling finally reached his destination.
Ordinarily, they should have arrived a bit earlier, but the roads near Misty Peak were difficult to navigate, which caused some delays.
Misty Peak is the West Mountain Main Peak, located on the western part of West Mountain Island. It is the foremost of the seventy-two peaks of Taihu Lake and is known as the lake’s number one peak.
Due to the ever-changing weather, the summit is often shrouded in clouds and mist, giving it an ethereal, otherworldly appearance—like a celestial mountain floating above a sea of clouds, or rosy peaks linked by a jade belt. It boasts the "Misty Peaks in Clearing Skies" view, one of the Eight Great Sights of West Mountain.
"Are you hungry? Let’s go get a bite to eat first," Ye Ling said, glancing at the time before turning to Ning Ruoxi.
"Mhm!"
Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.
After being in the car for so long, she was still a little hungry, even with the snacks she’d had earlier.
Ye Ling casually picked a nearby skewers restaurant and found a table by the window.
This kind of food, skewered hot pot, is similar to regular hot pot. Ye Ling chose a mild spice level, mainly because the little lass couldn’t handle anything too spicy!
While waiting for their food, Ye Ling took out his phone to check his messages on WeChat.
Although it had only been half a day, he had quite a few messages.
Zhu Yun had sent Ye Ling a report on the current production status at Tianxin Technology. The facilities for the 7nm chips were essentially complete, and they were now gradually setting up the production facilities for 5nm chips.
’Who said Tianxin Technology only possessed entry-level tech?’
’Sorry, not sorry!’
’The 7nm chip was just the first step.’
From the very beginning, Ye Ling had never set his sights solely on 7nm chips...
...
Ye Ling typed back: "Get the 5nm chip facilities done. The sooner, the better."
According to Ye Ling’s predictions, Tianxin Technology would have its first major breakout moment following the launch of Xia Wei Group’s new phone model.
This was a good thing!
After developing for so long, Tianxin Technology was finally ready to step onto the world stage and show the Western capitalist powers that a high-tech enterprise from Xia Country was fully capable of producing high-end chips.
However, Ye Ling understood one thing clearly.
When Tianxin Technology truly stepped into the spotlight, the pressure it would face would be unprecedented.
After all.
This time, Tianxin Technology was cutting into the profits of many powerful players, be it the Fruit Group, Mitsubishi Technology, or even the Guge Group...
Tianxin Technology had undoubtedly positioned itself as their direct competitor.
This time, Tianxin was going to shatter the monopoly these tech giants had created!
After a moment of thought, Ye Ling gave Lin Xiao a call.
"President Lin, I wanted to ask, what’s the approximate release date for your new model?" Ye Ling asked.
"The day after tomorrow."
Lin Xiao replied.
"Alright." Ye Ling hung up, closed his eyes, and briefly considered his next steps.
Just then, the server brought their food to the table.
The table was laden with dishes, their faint aroma filling the air. After the long car ride, they were already hungry, and the sight and smell made their mouths water.
"Have a taste. It should be pretty good," Ye Ling said, trying a bite himself before feeding a piece to Ning Ruoxi.
"Mhm, it’s delicious," Ning Ruoxi said as she accepted the bite, nodding in approval.
This skewers restaurant really was excellent!
Ye Ling had tasted a great many delicacies in his time, but few had ever truly impressed him.
DING!
’Congratulations, Host, for enjoying a simple culinary delight. You have received a Mystery Gift Pack. Open now?’
’I got a gift pack from this?’
Ye Ling’s eyes instantly lit up.
’Open!’
Ye Ling thought to himself.
DING!
’Congratulations, Host! You have successfully opened the Mystery Gift Pack. You have obtained: One Box of Condoms.’
Hearing the notification in his mind, Ye Ling’s expression immediately darkened.
’This damn system is definitely messing with me!’
"Are you full? Let’s go for a walk to let our food settle," Ye Ling asked Ning Ruoxi.
"Mhm, I’m stuffed!"
Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.
Ye Ling casually paid the bill, then took Ning Ruoxi’s hand, and they went for a leisurely stroll nearby.
Since it was already getting late, Ye Ling didn’t plan on climbing Misty Peak today. He figured they would get familiar with the area first and tackle the mountain tomorrow.
"I heard the nearby night market is pretty fun," Ye Ling suddenly said to Ning Ruoxi.
Misty Peak was a famous destination, so its tourism industry was naturally well-developed. Not far from the mountain, there was a small commercial plaza.
"Does that mean there will be lots of delicious food?!"
Ning Ruoxi’s eyes lit up at the thought.
Right.
The Little Fox Demon was a foodie, after all.
"Of course there’ll be lots of delicious food," Ye Ling said with a smile.
’It’s a night market, after all.’
’It’s all about eating, eating, and more eating!’
"Then let’s go to the night market!"
Ning Ruoxi exclaimed, waving her little hands, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Alright."
Ye Ling dotingly ruffled the little lass’s hair.
He truly doted on Ning Ruoxi. He had almost never refused a request from his little lass!
It was around ten o’clock at night when Ye Ling finally took Ning Ruoxi back to their hotel.
Ye Ling had asked Zhu Yun to book the hotel for them in advance.
Otherwise, given how popular Misty Peak was with tourists, Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi probably would have ended up sleeping on the streets.
"No funny business tonight, you hear? We still have to climb the mountain tomorrow."
The moment Ning Ruoxi stepped into the room, she shot Ye Ling a distrustful glance.
Well.
It just goes to show how fragile the trust between people can be.
"Hmph!"
Ye Ling glanced at the little lass, then put on a deliberately wounded expression. "Baby, so the love is gone, is that it?"
"It doesn’t matter what you say, the answer is no for tonight. Otherwise, I’m booking a second room tomorrow!"
Ning Ruoxi’s heart softened instinctively when she saw his expression, but then she remembered the mischief he’d gotten up to last night and stood her ground.
"Alright, fine!"
Seeing her determination, Ye Ling didn’t press the issue.
’After all, we still have to climb the mountain tomorrow, so... I should let the Little Fox Demon get some rest, right?’
’No, that’s not right!’
’It’s the Righteous Giant who should be getting some rest!’
