Two days passed quickly, and [Cybertron Cloud Disk] has passed the review after being launched on many domestic PC and mobile platforms.

Due to the short upload time and the recent downturn in the domestic cloud/network disk market, major platforms are not optimistic about a new cloud disk product, let alone recommending it.

[Cybertron Cloud Disk] did not attract much attention. After 24 hours of review on PC platforms such as "Computer Home" and "Software," the number of downloads and installations was only a meager fourteen or fifteen times.

However, what is surprising is that on the "Software" platform, which was the first in China to introduce a software rating mechanism and is known for its acerbic user reviews, there have been several comments about [Cybertron Cloud Disk].

The rating mechanism of "Software" uses ten as the highest score and one as the lowest.

Surprisingly, although there were only nine downloads of [Cybertron Cloud Disk], it received an average score of 8.7, and the lowest score given by download users was 7 points.

In the user comment section below, five out of the nine download users actually left comments. Among them, a user on the "Software" platform with the username [Gucheng Qingyu] wrote: "One hundred online disks started imposing speed limits on rechargeable members, forcing them to upgrade to super members. I got annoyed and uninstalled One hundred online disks. I wanted to try 'Software' for a change but unexpectedly came across this new disk product in the warehouse. Out of curiosity, I downloaded it to take a look, and immediately fell in love with it. I must give it a full recommendation! The [Private Mode], [Share Mode], and [Confidential Mode] are very interesting. I suggest everyone give it a try!"

User [lamu] also gave high praise, saying, "The new online disk is amazing. There are no speed limits for downloads and uploads, and the three modes are very interesting. I chose the [Confidential Mode]. Surprisingly, although the online disk displayed some prompts when uploading, it didn't prevent me from uploading and downloading some copyright-controversial movies and TV shows. It only restricts sharing services. I must give it a like and positive review. The only regret is that this online disk seems to be paid in the future, and the cloud storage it provides is too small, currently only 1TB!"

This netizen's comment received four likes, and below the comment section, you can see users expressing their confusion, with some asking directly about the developer of [Cybertron Cloud Disk] - Cybertron Technology Company and how it suddenly emerged, as they had never heard of it before.

Although it received some positive reviews, the download volume of [Cybertron Cloud Disk] was too small to have any significant impact.

For such a small software, it will take some time for it to become popular through word of mouth alone.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng obviously won't stay in the real world for too long. He still has a tough battle to fight in another world. Even though he works hard in real life for his future development, he has very little time left.

As a result, after four days of being uploaded to various platforms, when checking the company's backend, it was found that [Cybertron Cloud Disk] currently had only two or three hundred download users from dozens of PC and mobile platforms. Sun Cheng has run out of patience.

"...The company's publicity needs to catch up. Manager Wang, I will assign you a task. Within a month, I want to see our user count break through one million."

Two months, that's the amount of time Sun Cheng plans to stay in reality this time. So far, almost a quarter of that time has passed.

Wang Lu looked at Sun Cheng with a face full of embarrassment, his brows knitted together.

"Mr. Sun, developing a user base of one million within a month. Putting aside whether our servers and bandwidth can keep up, just the development of new users requires a significant amount of money... Advertising, publicity, and dealing with potential competitors and their water army will be challenging..."

Indeed, in the era of mobile internet, anything is possible.

For example, some social software that claims to be on the fringes of connection with alien/***/friendship can experience a sudden surge in downloads overnight, possibly reaching millions.

However, the ones capable of creating legends are always few in number. Even some domestic internet giants achieve their current glory through gradual accumulation over several years or even decades.

Nevertheless, problems that can be solved with money are not really problems.

Sun Cheng wasn't planning to play it safe; time waits for no one, and he had to take an unconventional approach.

"In the financial account, I will allocate an additional two million as a special fund, entirely dedicated to the promotion of new users. Platform advertisements, hiring online influencers, and more – you figure it out... There will certainly be pressure, but I hope you can transform it into motivation. Both you and I know our products well; as long as we make it through the initial stage, the path will be smooth sailing once the online store opens..."

After a long persuasion, Wang Lu reluctantly took on the task.

Sun Cheng felt relieved; despite his extraordinary experiences, he was just a slightly different human being at the end of the day. Omnipotence and omniscience were pure nonsense.

However, even though he had entrusted the task of promoting the company's products to Wang Lu, Sun Cheng wasn't idle.

That evening, after returning to his apartment from the company, Sun Cheng entered his bedroom and walked directly to the all-in-one machine transformed by Revenge. With a furrowed brow, he gave it a command.

"Revenge, connect to the internet and retrieve the highest-level access for the [Pure XP System] stored in your database. Then, scan the entire network to identify any backdoor responses!" A while ago, Sun Cheng had experimented with Microsoft's XP system to test his abilities. He significantly streamlined and modified it, removing numerous unnecessary plugins and codes. He also optimized the user interface and replaced several built-in Microsoft applications with more efficient alternatives.

Later, in a bid to gain popularity, he uploaded this modified system, called [Pure XP], to China's largest XP exchange website—XP Home.

He remembered that the last time he returned to the real world, XP Home had contacted him for authorization.

With the intention of promoting [Cybertron Studios], Sun Cheng had indeed granted authorization to XP Home, allowing them unrestricted use of his work.

However, there was one condition: regardless of whether it was for promotional purposes within or outside the website or for disc distribution, the work must always be credited to [Cybertron Studios]. The logo must not be removed, and the producer information embedded in the installation package must be displayed separately.

In that [Pure XP] system, much like Microsoft and other operating system developers, Sun Cheng had left a backdoor—an extremely powerful one—just waiting for this day.

Now, the time had come to utilize it.

Upon receiving his command, the screen of the all-in-one machine on his computer desk flickered with waves of light. After nearly thirty seconds, the familiar mechanical sound finally echoed through the room.

"Master, the highest authority has been activated. After conducting a linked investigation, it has been determined that there are 3.19 million backdoor responses throughout the entire network..."

"Very good!"

Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel invigorated. In just a little over a month, he never imagined that XP House would assist him in gaining so many users of the pure XP system nationwide.

Although it may be a bit unscrupulous, this time, in order to quickly expand, he had no choice but to utilize this system to launch a wave of advertisements!"
