บท 57: Watch Carefully, Learn Well

In the president's office.

Lin Zichan looked at Mu An several times, but each time she hesitated to speak.

And she still hadn't figured out why the other party had such advanced hacking skills.

This completely overturned her previous impression of him as a spoiled rich kid!

"President Lin, just ask what you want to know!"

"Stop acting all hesitant, as if you don't know whether to speak or not!"

Mu An lazily lay on the sofa, rolling his eyes.

In his hands, he kept flipping through some... super positive energy selfies on his phone.

He occasionally clicked his tongue in amazement, carefully critiquing them in his professional villain persona.

As for the source of these photos, it was quite simple.

Naturally, he found them through his own efforts!

The previous hacking incident was not as simple and crude as it appeared on the surface.

He noticed that behind the visible intruders, there was quietly a second party hidden.

In other words, there were actually two different forces involved in the recent invasion!

And the photos he had in hand were from the second force.

To be precise, that 'second force' was just a woman!

...

At the same time.

On a certain island in the Pacific Ocean.

Bai Yaoyao was weakly lying on her gaming chair.

She looked like a dead salted fish that had all its vitality drained and was completely ruined.

In front of her were numerous computer screens and a series of high-tech electronic devices.

Clearly, she was the sole hacker behind the second wave of the previous invasion!

Of course, she also had a second, more prominent title in the hacking world.

That is, the world's number one super hacker, Bai Yi!

Her hacking skills were so impressive that she could claim there was no place in the world she couldn't infiltrate!

The defense systems of Western countries like the Free Country were practically useless against her!

No matter how they upgraded their systems, whenever she wanted to take a look around, it was as easy as going home for a drink.

The most crucial part was that after she arrogantly arrived, she could also leave just as arrogantly!

Even to this day, no one had managed to catch even a trace of her!

However, what they might not know even more is that the hacker Bai Yi, whom countless people worshipped as a god, was actually a blonde, blue-eyed girl with twin ponytails!

But even with her powerful hacking skills, she had just been counter-killed by someone she had never heard of before.

And it was a crushing counter-kill!

She had no power to resist!

How could a small company have such a powerful figure in charge?

This was something she could never believe, even if she were to die a thousand times!

"Now I have to investigate this woman, Lin Zichan?"

"In my opinion, that guy Long Wang Long Haotian will eventually die at the hands of a woman!"

"Because he has no idea what kind of existence he has provoked because of a woman!"

Thinking back to how she had immediately chosen to flee thousands of miles away after sensing something was wrong, frantically changing IP addresses, and performing a series of operations to erase traces.

But she was still precisely located and pulled out by the other party.

It was as if she was being watched by the other party's eye of God; no matter where she escaped, she was destined to have nowhere to hide!

Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but shiver.

The most infuriating part was that the guy not only openly controlled all her computers.

But also arrogantly looped her beautiful selfies on them!

Clearly, she had layered and hidden these things very deeply, yet they were still discovered by the other party!

The other party even threatened that if she dared to provoke him again, he would make these things loop in every place with electronic screens around the world.

Letting strangers from all over the world get to know her!

If that really happened, it would be utterly humiliating, wouldn't it!

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more scared she became.

Biting her teeth, Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but crush an entire lollipop.

Just like biting through... an entire lollipop!

"I can't take this task anymore!"

"No matter how much they offer, I can't touch this woman again!"

Bai Yaoyao decisively chose to protect herself.

It was precisely because she was also a hacker that she understood how terrifying a hacker with no limits could be!

However, she still decided to cautiously investigate.

She had been at the peak for too long, and it was rare to encounter someone with skills even greater than hers.

While feeling exceptionally excited, she was also very curious about the identity of the hacker behind Lin Zichan!

...

"So, you weren't just bragging when you said you wanted to collaborate with me?"

After receiving a positive answer, Lin Zichan couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.

If Mu An really had such skills, then the previous claim about wanting to collaborate on game development should not have been just empty talk!

There was a high chance it was a real collaboration!

[Due to the strength you have shown, Lin Zichan's view of you has begun to change, shock emotion fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +3]!]

[From Liu Zichan's skeptical emotion fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]

...

"My dear fiancée, do you really think I have that much free time to come and play with you?"

"To put it bluntly, you are at most one of my fiancées! Don't think that just because you have a bit of beauty, you can consider yourself too important!"

"There are plenty of beauties around me who are prettier than you, and they are the kind I can play with casually!"

After criticizing a bunch of certain photos, Mu An put away his phone and naturally crossed his legs.

The look he gave her contained a hint of invisible mockery.

Lin Zichan: "..."

[Lin Zichan felt somewhat belittled, thin anger and humiliation emotion fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Bad Luck Card *1]!]

Mu An frowned slightly.

Why were all the recent rewards a bunch of bad luck cards?

He had seen several already!

Forget it, let's just treat it as a little extra for the two main characters' mundane daily lives!

[Use all [Bad Luck Cards] on the two main characters!]

[[Bad Luck Cards] have all been successfully used! They are now in effect...]

On the other side.

Lin Zichan also had strong emotional control and quickly forced herself to calm down.

"So, how do you want to collaborate?"

"Let me be clear, if I feel this collaboration is not valuable, I will withdraw directly!"

However, she also understood in her heart.

Since the other party had such impressive hacking skills, their game development capabilities would surely not be weak either!

"You don't need to worry about the game development and value aspects; you just need to manage the operations well, and you can sit back and wait for the money to roll in!"

"As for the shares, it's a 70-30 split, I take 70, you take 30! No bargaining!"

Mu An's expression was calm and composed.

The top game library from the parallel blue star he had obtained contained quite a few top-tier games.

Such as Zombie vs. Plants, Yuanshen, League of Kings, PUBG, and so on.

Each one was a phenomenon-level game that exploded in another world!

He just needed to use them directly, with maybe a little modification!

But Lin Zichan wouldn't think so.

In her view, the game field in Long Country was still in the development phase, with too many uncertainties.

If not careful, it could all go to waste!

And what was this 70-30 split?

The other party takes 70, and she takes 30?!

Hearing such a share division, Lin Zichan's blood pressure, which had just calmed down, was gradually rising again.

"Don't think that this means you earn less!"

"This is based on the fact that you are my fiancée; otherwise, you might not even get 30%!"

"After all, there is a big difference between 30% of a billion and 30% of a hundred million!"

Mu An seemed to see through her little thoughts and couldn't help but scoff.

"But... this is too outrageous! If I start a new game company, there are many places I need to manage and spend money."

"Your game might not necessarily meet market expectations, and I can't be 100% sure it will make money, let alone make a lot of money..."

Knowing that she had no power to choose, Lin Zichan still subconsciously wanted to fight for a bit more, to gain more benefits. This could be considered a professional habit she developed after becoming a CEO! Arguing and bargaining in high-level business!

Mu An smiled. Rather than just talking without evidence, it was better to see it with her own eyes! He didn't say much more and directly installed a zombie vs. plants game onto her computer using a USB drive. After briefly explaining the game rules, Lin Zichan quickly got engrossed.

In a game world that had only developed to the point of stealing vegetables from others, the game Mu An presented was a dimensional strike!

[How infuriating! Why can't my zombies eat the brains in the opponent's house?]

[These plants are too overpowered! Is this a game for humans? My zombie army is dying too miserably!]

[No way! I refuse to believe that I, the great business genius Lin Zichan, can't get past this level!]

[Lin Zichan's competitive spirit was quickly ignited, emotional fluctuation +10, congratulations, you have received a reward [Money +5 million]!]

[Lin Zichan was deeply attracted by this game, emotional fluctuation +11, congratulations, you have received a reward [Entry-level skill: Game Operation]!]

…

If it weren't for Mu An secretly using a [Heartfelt Words Card], one might really think that Lin Zichan, who was playing the game with a straight face, was uninterested in it! It can only be said that no matter where you are, classic games remain classic!

Watching her repeatedly die at the same level, just barely able to pass it. The stubborn Lin Zichan kept dying in the same spot, endlessly looping! Mu An found it somewhat amusing.

[Is there really such a foolish woman in the world?] He mockingly laughed.

"You really suck!"

"Then you come and do it!" Lin Zichan paused, raised her head, and said with a forced smile.

Mu An was unrelenting. He couldn't stand her poor performance anymore and directly stepped forward to 'intentionally' hold her delicate hand, then took control of the mouse.

"Young people should watch and learn, this is how you operate it!"
