［Pre-emptive armor: Most other tech novels focus on handing over technology to the state. My story focuses more on society. Of course, the protagonist is patriotic and even gives technology to the state, but most of the plot centers on user experience, bringing the warmth of technology to the people, to every ordinary person. If you don't like it, feel free to roast the author a little.］

July 2017.

"As the saying goes, it's better to marry a good wife than to be born into a good family!"

...

On the rooftop balcony of a minimalist villa, lush vegetation filtered the light into dappled shadows that fell just right upon Lu Li's face.

He was napping comfortably on a solid wood recliner. Beside him, in a birdcage, two colorful myna birds were preening their feathers.

He had transmigrated to this parallel Blue Star two and a half years ago.

Two years ago, he had a whirlwind marriage with the famous queen of the mobile phone industry, Su Qingxue.

Su Qingxue, the Chairperson of Guanghui Technology.

This business prodigy, who returned from overseas at only 21, not only inherited a massive family business but also propelled Guanghui Mobile to the rank of sixth in domestic shipments.

Lu Li, meanwhile, contentedly lived the life of a "kept man" who just waited to die, at least in the eyes of others.

In his previous life, he was too tired.

As a top talent, he had given up lucrative overseas offers to return home, leading teams to overcome countless technical barriers—Full-screen display phones, Virtual Helmet, strong artificial intelligence, and even spearheading the development of the first 3nm Lithography Machine.

He achieved fame and success, but died of sudden cardiac arrest while working late at the age of 55.

Living another life, he was tired and weary.

He had worked his whole life and died unexpectedly before he could enjoy it; what was the point?

In this life, he just wanted to store his brain away and enjoy life properly.

Besides, he had bound a ［Soft Rice System］ in his mind.

As long as he lived off his wife steadily, he could gradually unlock all the wealth and technical data he had accumulated in his previous life.

This soft rice—even Jesus couldn't stop him; he, Lu Li, was determined to eat it!

Therefore, in his wife Su Qingxue's eyes, he was just a slightly handsome, slightly gentle "independent game designer."

He had carefully chosen this profession.

It allowed him to play games every day reasonably, under the guise of "seeking inspiration."

It allowed him to stay at home reasonably without having to go to work.

If his wife asked about progress, he would use a Photoshop-rendered scene from "minecraft" to fool her.

After all, a game that didn't exist in this world would likely fool his wife.

Work? That was impossible.

Lying flat and living off his wife—wasn't that sweet?

Lu Li narrowed his eyes comfortably, already planning how to coax his wife into wearing that newly bought black silk maid outfit tonight.

...

Downstairs, in the gaming room.

Su Qingxue skillfully set up the gimbal and lights, and started the live stream.

The live stream room was instantly flooded with countless viewers, and the barrage of comments was like a tide.

"Qingxue, why did you marry a guy like that? I'm truly speechless!"

"Director Su, ever since you got married, you haven't worn short skirts or exposed your legs at press conferences anymore. My youth is over!"

"This guy is abominable. Marrying you is one thing, but he even stops you from showing your legs at press conferences!"

"Waaah, my pure and cute Director Su is already someone's wife!"

"What's wrong with being a wife? I feel like the competition is even less now, only one competitor!"

"The guy above is a genius, surely you aren't thinking of having the same last name as Director Su's child, right?"

Su Qingxue watched these familiar teases, her eyes slightly unfocused.

Guanghui Technology, under Guanghui Group, was one of the group's main sources of profit.

Furthermore, Guanghui Mobile followed an internet sales route, known for high performance and low prices.

Before taking over her father's company, she had served as a product manager. At press conferences, she would wear a professional black tight dress, revealing straight, fair, long legs, which, combined with her pure and lovely appearance and sexy, enchanting figure, had garnered her a wave of fans online. From Guanghui Mobile 2 to Guanghui Mobile 5s Pro, her personal account had accumulated 7 million followers.

Fans liked to call her "Su Long-legs," "Rich Beauty," and "Mom."

Naturally, her marital status was well known to the fans.

Two years ago, when they learned she was married, the fans were curious about which group's young master had such good fortune to marry the industry's top wealthy beauty, Director Su Qingxue.

The resourceful netizens quickly found out that the person Su Qingxue was marrying was called Lu Li.

When they saw Lu Li's personal information, everyone was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, he had just graduated from college, his job seemed to be a game designer, but not a single game had come from his hands.

He had also performed mediocrely during college, and even served in the student union.

He hadn't joined any game companies either, claiming he was going to independently design games? It was a joke!

His only advantage was that he looked handsome? Tall?

This made the fans feel indignant for Su Qingxue.

This man was clearly a good-for-nothing. What kind of man stays at home every day without going out to work after getting married?

For two years, he said he was designing games, but they hadn't seen a single hair of evidence.

This kind of person was simply unworthy of Su Qingxue!

He wasn't even worth a single hair; Lu Li had simply struck gold!

"Xue'er, what's the use of that kind of kept man?"

"Yeah, he doesn't even come to your company to help you!"

"Just divorce him, I'll support you!"

"To the guy above, I heard your wishful thinking all the way from abroad. You want to take over and live off her too, right?"

"Xue'er, what exactly do you see in him?"

Su Qingxue saw these messages in the barrage and fell into deep thought.

How did the conversation get back to her husband again?

Over the years, she had also been confused about Lu Li's behavior.

However, she understood—a game designer must need a lot of inspiration.

She had introduced many jobs to Lu Li, such as letting him join a department in the company as a deputy manager, offering him a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.

But Lu Li said his dream was game design.

Su Qingxue felt Lu Li was right, and she supported Lu Li's dream, respected and understood him, and gave him 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month.

The corners of Su Qingxue's mouth curled up into a happy arc involuntarily, and she said softly to the camera:

"He is handsome, kind, and we have endless things to talk about. It was the meeting of our souls that brought us together!"

Seeing her happy face, the fans were typing furiously on their keyboards with twisted expressions, sending barrages:

"Damn it, I hate it! I am clearly gentler than Lu Li! Why didn't she choose me!"

"This is a girl who has already fallen into the vortex of love; it's useless for us to try to persuade her!"

"If this Lu Li dares to let Su Qingxue down, I will tear him to pieces!!"

"Forget it, let's talk about today's new machine, the guanghui 7!"

"Indeed, I don't want to hear her praise that man anymore. I don't want to see the woman I like praising another man, wuwuwu!"

The topic finally returned to the right track.

Su Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the guanghui 7pro engineering prototype on the table.

The purpose of today's broadcast was to warm up for the new flagship to be released in September and to collect a wave of user feedback.

"This year's guanghui 7pro uses a pure glass back cover, equipped with a 5.2-inch screen with 1.5K resolution, and the latest fourth-generation Gorilla Glass..."

She began to introduce the phone's parameters.

"The chip is Qualcomm's latest generation Snapdragon 835, starting at 4GB+64GB, up to 6GB+128GB, the performance is absolutely sufficient! The 3000mAh large battery can also ensure all-day battery life!"

However, as the introduction deepened, she keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the live stream room was cooling down.

The fans' interest was dropping at a visible rate.

This was unavoidable.

Su Qingxue knew that because of a mishap in the company's R&D department, the core team had been poached, causing this year's guanghui 7 to lack innovation, making it look more like a product rushed to catch up with the launch schedule.

She hadn't told anyone about this, including Lu Li.

The barrage on the screen was like needles stabbing her heart.

"What about the system? Why does the UI feel the same as last year!"

"I feel like this update has no highlights. What's the difference in appearance from the Xiaomi 6 released in April?"

"Is the camera still protruding? Xiaomi has already made it flush!"

"Has Guanghui's creativity run out this year? The only thing left to compete with is price-performance ratio?"

"Hehe, don't mention it, look at the samsung s8. Once that screen came out, all Android phones became supporting roles!"

samsung s8.

This name was like a giant boulder, pressing on the hearts of all domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and it also pressed on Su Qingxue's heart.

That curved design with almost no bezels on the left and right, and the top and bottom bezels were only 8 millimeters, with a screen-to-body ratio as high as 84%, as if it were a product from the future.

Even the Xiaomi Mix was overshadowed.

It made the price-performance ratio route that Guanghui Mobile was so proud of seem so pale and powerless for the first time.

The R&D department held meetings all night for this, but technical gaps could not be smoothed over just by holding meetings.

Su Qingxue forced herself to cheer up, preparing to introduce the last highlight—the intelligent beauty algorithm.

The software department had indeed worked hard this time, and the optimization effect was very good.

Just then, a red battery icon accompanied by a warning sound appeared abruptly in the center of the screen.

The battery was below 5%!

"Family, I'm sorry, the phone is actually out of power."

She showed an apologetic bitter smile to the camera, "Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go find a charger!"

After speaking, she stood up and started rummaging through the cabinets in the gaming room.

This was the gaming room she shared with Lu Li, so it was convenient to find things.

Opening the cabinet next to her, Su Qingxue saw Lu Li's charger on the top shelf at a glance.

She stepped in her white slippers, stood on tiptoe slightly, and grabbed the charging head.

But just as she was pulling the USB cable out, the cable hooked onto something.

A pure black, plate-like object, similar in size to a mobile phone, was pulled out.

It didn't make the crisp sound that glass or metal should, but a muffled "thud" sound, and it fell straight onto the soft carpet at her feet.

Su Qingxue's movements froze.

Her gaze was fixed firmly on the object that had fallen.

It was a "glass plate" that was pitch black all over, with no ports or buttons on the surface.

It lay quietly on the carpet, radiating a beauty and mystery that transcended the technological creations of this era.

This was not something that any mobile phone company on Earth could build!

Su Qingxue's heartbeat missed a beat.

This thing was like... a mobile phone screen without black borders?

This thing... whose was it?
