237: Chapter 237 Phone Harassment? Lu Li: Send Some Decent People

However, Secretary Wang Qiuge did not immediately agree.

She held her tablet, her expression complex, as if she herself hadn't fully digested this news yet.

"Su Qingxue, that was what I thought at first, too."

"But overseas, they held the first round of trials at Google offline stores that very same day. The user feedback... it isn't quite right."

Su Qingxue looked up at her.

"In what way isn't it right?"

Secretary Wang Qiuge took a gentle breath, her voice lowering unconsciously.

"Judging by that feedback, it is definitely not an ordinary VR."

"The immersion level is very high, the control method is very different, and—"

She paused, clearly feeling that what she was about to say was a bit absurd.

"It seems to be able to run some of the Virtual Helmet games on our platform."

As soon as she said this, the air in the office seemed to freeze for a moment.

Su Qingxue's hand, which had been turning the pages of a file, froze.

Lu Li finally straightened up a bit on the sofa.

What did it mean to be able to run games from the Guanghui Technology Virtual Helmet platform?

This meant that the other party had at least reached a path similar to Guanghui Technology in certain underlying interaction protocols, virtual environment mapping, and even some system logic.

This was definitely not something that could be achieved just by changing a shell or stacking up hardware.

Lu Li was silent for two seconds before reaching out to take the tablet.

On the screen were replays of live streams from overseas tech media, short videos of offline experiences, and screenshots of discussions on major forums.

In the footage, the design of that Virtual Helmet was different from the design philosophy of Guanghui Technology; the overall style was rougher and leaned more towards an industrial feel, lacking the highly refined futuristic aesthetics of Guanghui Technology products.

But after watching a few videos, the laziness in his eyes gradually faded away.

Something was wrong.

This thing didn't look like it was simply copied.

If they had just dismantled a Guanghui Technology prototype and imitated the shell, interfaces, and surface structure, they wouldn't have been able to reach this point in such a short time.

System base layer, consciousness mapping, feedback algorithms, data compression protocols...

Any one of these items, if taken individually, would be enough to trap a team for years, or even decades.

Yet now, they had actually managed to make it.

Even though it was still far from the level of this generation of Guanghui Technology products, it was already shocking enough.

Su Qingxue looked at him and asked:

"What do you think?"

Lu Li did not answer immediately.

He flipped back a few pages on the tablet, clicked on a few more user experience videos to watch repeatedly, then leaned back into the sofa and chuckled softly.

"This is interesting."

Su Qingxue's gaze tightened slightly.

Being able to make Lu Li say those four words already spoke volumes.

Secretary Wang Qiuge stood to the side and asked cautiously:

"Mr. Lu, this thing..."

"Buy it."

Lu Li interrupted her directly, his tone unhurried but without a shred of hesitation.

"Buy every model you can find on Amazon, official channels, and the secondary market."

"Don't miss a single one—different batches, different colors, different regional versions."

"The sooner, the better."

Secretary Wang Qiuge nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'll get it done right away."

Just as she turned to leave, Lu Li added calmly:

"Buy a few extra."

"I want to take them apart and see."

The corner of Secretary Wang Qiuge's mouth twitched imperceptibly, but she still answered promptly.

"Understood."

The office door closed again, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Su Qingxue looked up at Lu Li.

"Do you think they caught up by dismantling our machines?"

Lu Li picked up his cola and took a sip; the ice cubes clinked against the inner wall of the aluminum can, making a crisp sound.

"It's hard to say right now."

He paused, his gaze drifting out the window, his tone calm to the point of being casual.

"But you know, this system of mine comes from another world, and it was the life's work of my previous life."

"Even if they really got their hands on a machine to dismantle, it would be impossible for them to catch up to this point so quickly."

At this point, a hint of long-lost interest slowly rose in his eyes.

"Over there, abroad..."

"I'm afraid they've produced a genius."

This assessment carried terrifying weight.

Throughout the journey of Guanghui Technology to this day, there was almost no one who could make Lu Li seriously call them a "genius."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingxue's expression couldn't help but become a bit more serious.

Just as she was about to ask more, the internal phone on her desk suddenly rang.

Su Qingxue picked it up, listened for a moment, and her brow furrowed slightly.

"Another anonymous harassment call?"

It was unclear what was said on the other end of the line.

Her eyes turned cold, but her tone remained steady.

"Hand it over to the Legal and Security Departments; make a record first."

"If you can trace it, do so. If not, soothe the internal staff first; don't let the subordinates get restless."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Lu Li looked up at her.

"Again?"

"Yes." Su Qingxue put the receiver back, her tone calm. "Since this morning, the front desk, the Brand Department, and the Secretarial Office have all received several inexplicable calls."

"Some were cursing, some were being sarcastic, and a few others just hung up after two rings without saying a word when answered."

"It's like they are testing us."

After listening, Lu Li showed no reaction; instead, he seemed a bit disappointed.

"That's it?"

Su Qingxue was amused to the point of laughter by his attitude.

"What else would you want?"

Lu Li actually thought about it seriously, then spoke with a straight face:

"At least send someone decent."

"With this level of skill, I can't even be bothered to move Number 18."

As if to specially coordinate with his words, the Robot in the corner of the office, which had just come off the assembly line and was responsible for basic security, suddenly turned its head slightly.

Its electronic eye scanned over, lit up for a moment, and then returned to calm.

This type of security Robot was currently a special version for police and professional security; it only knew some basic combat and neutralization moves, usually serving more as patrol, early warning, and on-site assistance.

But Su Qingxue knew very well in her heart that when it came to actual combat power, this kind of security Robot, which looked bulkier, was simply not on the same level as Number 18.

She had seen Number 18 in action with her own eyes.

That foreigner, whose skills were terrifyingly high, couldn't even put up a decent resistance against her before being cleanly and swiftly pinned down.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Li's "best to bring something big" expression, and for a moment, she couldn't tell if this person was just too laid back, or if he simply didn't take those gutter tactics seriously at all.

But as it happened, he really had the qualifications to be this relaxed.

With the Battle Armor on his body.

Number 18 by his side.

The company's security system had long since been upgraded several times.

These rats hiding and scurrying in the gutters domestically really weren't enough to make him perk up.

A few days later, before all of Google's Virtual Helmets had arrived, another piece of news hit first.

Tesla officially announced that they would hold a new product launch for a Robot.

The product name—Little Te V1.

At the same time, an invitation with extremely polite wording, but with a provocative meaning so thick it was almost palpable, was sent to Guanghui Technology.

The email subject line was impeccably formal.

The content also looked airtight.

But between the lines, it exuded an unmistakable scent—

"What you have, I have also made."

"Do you want to come and see?"

When Secretary Wang Qiuge projected the email content onto the big screen, Chen Shuyu happened to be in the office.

She was now the CEO of the Robot Company, and her first reaction upon seeing that invitation was for her eyes to turn cold.

"They really know how to put on an act."

"Why invite anyone else? They had to invite you."

"They are just terrified that others won't know they are benchmarking themselves against Guanghui Technology."

Lu Li leaned back in the sofa, slowly twirling the can of cola in his hand, and just chuckled upon hearing this.

"Benchmarking is very normal."

"The key is still to see how far they have actually come."

Chen Shuyu crossed her arms, her tone cold.

"You don't actually want to go, do you?"

"I actually do want to." Lu Li sighed, his expression looking genuinely regretful. "It's a pity that going abroad is too troublesome—visas, security, travel arrangements, a bunch of messy things."

Su Qingxue sat behind her desk, not even looking up, and directly crushed that thought of his.

"Don't even think about it."

Lu Li had no choice but to shrug, looking helpless.

"Then I can only watch it online."
