《My Account Banned, I Drove Game Developers Crazy》 Chapter 1 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation september 15th, 2024, ten in the morning, light rain. east guangdong province, d city. in a rented apartment that was less than 10 square meters, zhou tianhao sat in front of his computer, playing a racing game under the alias ¡®white belly goose¡¯. the game was called goose speed. at this moment, he was controlling a racing car and was far ahead of the other racers. as long as he did not make any mistakes and drove steadily to the finish line, he would be able to take first place. without any interference from other opponents, it was not difficult for zhou tianhao to finish the rest of the journey without making any mistakes. ¡°after this game, i¡¯ll be the number one racing god. i¡¯ll take a screenshot and brag in the group later! those bastards will be so envious!¡± the god of racing was the highest rank in the game, symbolizing the most awesome player. there were very few people who could reach this level, let alone become the god of racing. as zhou tianhao was thinking happily, he suddenly realized that his car seemed to have run out of gas. he could not drive it anymore, and he could not control its direction. he could only watch as the car crashed into the wall! ¡°what the f*ck? what¡¯s going on? did the internet disconnect?¡± zhou tianhao tapped on the keyboard anxiously, but the car on the screen still did not react. he could only watch as his opponent caught up and surpassed him. ¡°i¡¯m not convinced. what the hell is going on?¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t have any problems with the internet! what the hell?¡± ¡°what kind of lousy game is this! cutting off the internet at this time!¡± after trying to no avail, he had no choice but to close the game and restart. however, when the game interface reappeared, the screen suddenly went black and a pop-up window popped up. [due to your account being suspected of violating the rules, your account was banned on september 15th, 2024 at 10:05 am. the unban date is september 15th, 2034, 10:05 am¡­] zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± he could not believe his eyes! ten years! his account was suddenly banned for ten years! he was banned for violating the rules, but he didn¡¯t even know where he had violated the rules. ¡°this is ridiculous. what is this?¡± faced with this situation, zhou tianhao immediately went to the customer service of the goose speed. ¡°hello, customer service #007 is at your service. may i ask if there¡¯s a problem?¡± ¡°what did i do? why was my account banned? you even said that i violated the rules. tell me clearly, where did i violate the rules? what right do you have to block my account?¡± ¡°please wait a moment. i¡¯ll check it for you.¡± ¡°hello, the system has detected that you have violated the rules and has banned your account. please maintain a healthy gaming lifestyle in the future.¡± ¡°is there anything else?¡± ¡°???¡± ¡°don¡¯t you understand human language? you tell me, i¡¯m the top racer of this season. my technical skills are all here! do i need to break the rules? you¡¯re insulting me, do you know that?¡± ¡°hello, please don¡¯t be agitated. the system has indeed detected that you have violated the rules and banned your account. please wait patiently for the system to unban it.¡± ¡°do you have any other questions?¡± ¡°if not, please give your evaluation of this service. if you are very satisfied, deduct 1 point, if you are barely satisfied, deduct 2, if you are not satisfied, deduct 3¡­¡± ¡°i¡¯ll deduct your f*cking head!¡± zhou tianhao angrily closed the call and realized that he was talking to a robot. unwilling to accept this, he sent the screenshot to the racing group. ¡°quick, quick, quick. what¡¯s with being banned for ten years for no reason?¡± when the active members of the group saw that the racing god had been banned for ten years, they began to comment. ¡°f*ck! racing god, were you cheating?¡± ¡°how could i cheat! aren¡¯t you aware of my skills? i can beat you with one hand!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right! then why was it banned?¡± ¡°if i knew, would i have asked about it?!¡± ¡°f*ck! racing god, why don¡¯t you quickly ask customer service?¡± ¡°i did, but it¡¯s useless! it¡¯s all robot customer service.¡± after he was done, zhou tianhao sent a screenshot of his conversation with the robot customer service. ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. racing god, are you sure you won¡¯t deduct a handful of engine oil?¡± ¡°this customer service is terrible. they only know how to be perfunctory. who doesn¡¯t know your skills? they might not be able to beat you even if they cheat, unless they¡¯re the perverted version.¡± ¡°i already said that it¡¯s a robot. it will answer according to the system¡¯s judgment.¡± ¡°does anyone know what to do? i was supposed to become the number one racing god today. i should have taken screenshots of the achievement to brag, but my account is gone.¡± ¡°if nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn¡¯t be any changes. after all, the final explanation is in the hands of the game company. they have the final say in how the account is handled. i¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know. according to the agreement, the account isn¡¯t actually yours.¡± ¡°is there really no other way? can we sue them?¡± ¡°check out what happened with nanshan pizza hut! instead of paying for a lawyer, you might as well pay me to wash your feet, right?¡± ¡°it¡¯s good to wash your feet! are you serious?¡± ¡°it must be serious.¡± ¡°don¡¯t do it, seriously.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°get lost, get lost. i¡¯ll think of a way myself.¡± ¡°i advise you to stop struggling. i think it¡¯s more convenient to create a new account. how can a self-employed person stand against a big company?¡± ¡°that makes sense.¡± ¡°+1.¡± ¡°if you don¡¯t want to create a new account, you can play with mine. i¡¯ll let you get to the racing god rank for free.¡± ¡°your abacus beads fell on my face!¡± ¡°get lost!¡± zhou tianhao closed the group chat with an ugly expression. the racing group was full of veteran players. based on their words, his account was probably gone. zhou tianhao was both sad and disappointed at the thought of being banned for ten years. he was sad that the account that he had played for so long was gone just like that. he was disappointed with the customer service¡¯s attitude and the unreasonable inspection system. he clearly didn¡¯t do anything, but they forcefully banned his account. as for a smurf account, he couldn¡¯t use it, at least not now. he was not in the mood at all. all he wanted to do now was curse! the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. zhou tianhao decided to make a video of this incident and post it online so that the netizens could speak up for him! he couldn¡¯t just let it go like this! he had evidence to prove that he did not violate the rules. he was not just the racing god of this season! he was even the record holder of several races. there were screenshots and videos on his computer! he could prove that he didn¡¯t cheat and that he didn¡¯t need to break the rules! after half an hour, a simple video with white text on a black background was produced. title: ¡°don¡¯t click here, the ten-year racing god was banned for no reason!¡± the content went from playing goose speed to now, from not knowing how to race on the track to becoming a record holder¡­ ten minutes of eloquence, with a beginning and an end, filled with content and truth. after a cursory look, he uploaded it to all the major video websites. soon, the video was approved. as the video took time to spread, it only had the first comment about an hour later. ¡°i want to click in! also, did the original poster (op) remain clean? otherwise, why would he be banned?¡± with the first comment, the popularity of the video also started to increase. ¡°i can click in if i want to. who can stop me? however, i think the op is indeed capable, but he should have cheated, right? otherwise, why would he be banned?¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t want to click in, but i couldn¡¯t control my hand. also, the punishment of being banned for ten years is very strict.¡± ¡°i think the person above is right. ten years is no different from a permanent ban. and why am i here?¡± ¡°that¡¯s true, that¡¯s true. i¡¯ve used that kind of micro-acceleration cheat before, but they only banned me for seven days. also, i just came in to see which one of you was tricked into coming in.¡± ¡­ gradually, there were more and more comments, and the video became more and more popular. more and more people saw it. zhou tianhao looked at the comments section. all of them did not believe him. he suddenly had the urge to delete the video. however, he knew that doing so would only confirm his crime and turn the groundless matter into solid evidence of his guilt. at this moment, a comment with the name ¡®goose speed¡¯ appeared and attracted zhou tianhao¡¯s attention. Chapter 2 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°hello, op. the detection system of the goose speed is very mature and perfect now. it is impossible for there to be a misjudgment. therefore, you must have used a cheat device or done something illegal and were detected by the system. please wait patiently for the system to unban you.¡± zhou tianhao did not reply immediately. instead, he opened that profile picture. there was a big ¡°v¡± below the profile picture, indicating that it was the official media account of goose speed. as soon as the official comment was made, the comment section became even more lively. a group of netizens began to mock zhou tianhao. ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. this is the fastest slap in the face i¡¯ve seen this year.¡± ¡°no wonder you didn¡¯t let anyone click in. you really didn¡¯t want to be exposed!¡± ¡°god of racing? there are ways to play without skills. although i don¡¯t know how to drive, i can buy new clothes for my wife every day. i can totally treat it as a game of changing clothes. if i cheat, i deserve to be banned!¡± ¡°indeed, he¡¯s suffering because he wants to save face. he even wanted to post a video online to denounce the game, but in the end, he was slapped in the face. i have a feeling that this video will be deleted very soon. i¡¯ll take a screenshot as a memento and put it on my homepage.¡± ¡­ at first, zhou tianhao wanted to avoid the comments. however, as he saw the growing amount of comments, he realized that he couldn¡¯t escape them no matter what he did. he felt like even jumping into the yellow river wouldn¡¯t be enough to wash himself clean. he knew that no one would believe him. it would be a waste of energy to say more! the video had already made it clear with evidence, but the public opinion was still going in the opposite direction, making it feel extremely ridiculous. the truth seemed so weak in front of these people! zhou tianhao suddenly realized that he had only become a stepping stone for others to celebrate online. whether he had violated the rules or not was not that important. he suddenly regretted posting the video! letting the netizens uphold justice was simply the most ridiculous thought of the century¡­ ¡°i don¡¯t understand. who did i offend?¡± ¡°why would the system flag me when i¡¯m playing the game?¡± ¡°what kind of lousy game is this? what rubbish detection system! how disgusting!¡± ¡°why doesn¡¯t anyone believe me? i have the skills and the strength. why would you accuse me of violating the rules and ban my account?¡± the more zhou tianhao cursed, the more he wanted to rush to the goose speed headquarters and smash their broken system into pieces. suddenly, zhou tianhao¡¯s mind shook. he went into a daze and started wavering. ¡°f*ck, did i get a cerebral hemorrhage from anger? am i going to die young?¡± in his panic, an emotionless voice sounded in zhou tianhao¡¯s mind. [ding! detected that the host has encountered injustice, bug system has been activated!] [the system is binding¡­] [binding successful.] ¡°what the f*ck? what¡¯s going on?¡± zhou tianhao patted his head, thinking that he was hearing things. the robotic voice sounded again. [there are no perfect humans in this world, so things created by humans can¡¯t be perfect either.] [however, the pursuit of perfection is the eternal pursuit of humans, and it is also the main purpose of the system.] [games are the crystallization of human wisdom. if you don¡¯t pay attention to it, you will be judged by justice!] [the system deeply sympathizes with the host for what happened!] [at the same time, the system has detected that the gaming world is now mixed with good and bad people. the situation is very serious. host, please take on the mission of reorganizing the gaming world.] [the first battle shall begin with the goose speed!] [ding! first activation of the system. reward: eye of disorder.] [eye of disorder: a seemingly stable structure may only need a simple operation to cause it to fall apart and lose order.] [through this eye, one could see the simple operations that caused the system to be abnormal.] [note: can only be used once per day. 0 refresh rate per day. cannot be stacked.] [ding! activate face slapping lottery function.] [note:] [1. the face slapping is not a physical face slapping. instead, it happens through creating a reversal that makes people feel like they have been slapped when they are caught off guard.] [2. a person who is slapped in the face will reward 1 slapping point. you can repeatedly slap in the face to gain slapping points, but you can only slap in the face once a day.] zhou tianhao¡¯s comprehension ability was not bad. to put it simply, the eye of disorder was like a tool to stop bugs. for example, in a racing game, everyone¡¯s goal was to reach the finish line through the track set by the system. whoever reached the finish line first would win. this was order. however, as long as you used this eye, you could directly ignore the restrictions of the track and go straight to the finish line. it could also be said that others took the main road, but you could take a shortcut. this was disorder. as for the face slapping lottery function, the system had already explained it clearly. as long as someone was slapped in the face by him, he would be able to obtain face slapping points. he only looked at the lottery interface. it was a circular lottery plate with the middle pointer showing: 1000 to spin once. in other words, a thousand people had to be slapped in the face by him before he could draw a prize. to be honest, 1,000 people was a little too much. zhou tianhao could not help but think about how he could quickly earn face-slapping points. ¡°oh right. i can do a live broadcast!¡± he slapped his thigh and came to a realization. although he had never done a live broadcast before, he had seen it before! those top streamers could even reach millions of people watching a live broadcast. if he could reach this level one day, wouldn¡¯t he be able to reap tens of millions of face slapping points with just one slap? at that time, he would be rich! zhou tianhao thought excitedly, but then he paused. he felt that something was wrong. the world suddenly fell silent. zhou tianhao thought hard, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. after he opened and closed the face slapping lottery page to confirm the authenticity of the lottery, he was shocked. ¡°f*ck! isn¡¯t this a f*cking system?¡± ¡°so everything that happened just now wasn¡¯t an illusion?¡± ¡°i almost thought i was crazy! you scared me to death!¡± as an internet-addicted teenager, zhou tianhao had read a lot of novels. the system was a necessary cheat for every protagonist, a tool to show off! he had never thought that he would one day get it. he thought that he had almost gone crazy from anger and started to hallucinate. it was not until he repeatedly confirmed that he indeed had the system that he was able to relax. [host, please shoulder the responsibility of reorganizing the gaming world!] recalling the system¡¯s voice, thinking about the mission that the system wanted him to carry out, and then looking at the unfair treatment that he had suffered, zhou tianhao felt like he was going to fight back. his blood was boiling! the current state of the gaming world could be said to be a stinking ditch with dirty water flowing everywhere. it was extremely dirty, and there were too many things that needed to be cleaned up! he absolutely had to change everything! [ding! mission released. please urge the goose speed staff to fix any bug in the game. mission success will be rewarded with a bottle of body modification fluid.] when he heard the word ¡°urge¡±, zhou tianhao suddenly felt a sense of duty to lead the masses. he had the confidence to fight against the officials. with the system backing him up, what was there to be afraid of? he immediately opened the comments section, his fingers flying around as he started typing. the first target was goose speed¡¯s official account. ¡°excuse me, you said that your detection system is perfect and there¡¯s no mistake, right? can you guarantee that?¡± after a while, the goose speed official account replied. Chapter 3 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation goose speed: ¡°yes. in an era where artificial intelligence is becoming more advanced, there is a supercomputer with incredible computing power behind it. as an individual, it is impossible to defeat such a computer. no matter what actions you take, the system will eventually discover them. if you have been banned, it is likely that the system has detected your actions. it is important to maintain a clean and ethical way of playing in the future for a healthy experience.¡± zhou tianhao looked at the screen and smiled. he didn¡¯t expect the fish to take the bait so easily. he continued to type. ¡°what if i can find a bug in goose speed now? since you claim that your detection system is flawless, there shouldn¡¯t be a bug in the game, right?¡± facing zhou tianhao¡¯s doubts, the goose speed account replied, ¡°you must be dreaming. not only is our detection system flawless, but the game itself was developed by a group of top programmers. it¡¯s impossible for there to be a bug. even if there is, it¡¯s impossible for you to find it!¡± ¡°what if there is?¡± goose speed account: ¡°if there really is, i¡¯ll take the risk of being fired to unban your account!¡± ¡°you have to keep your word. then come to my live broadcast room. there¡¯s a link on my homepage.¡± goose speed account: ¡°???¡± as soon as the conversation was out, the comments section instantly went into an uproar! ¡°someone actually went against the official staff to find a bug in the game. isn¡¯t this foolish?¡± ¡°f*ck, it can¡¯t be. really? aren¡¯t you afraid of being slapped in the face?¡± ¡°who cares if it¡¯s true or not? we¡¯ll know when we go and take a look.¡± ¡°f*ck! it¡¯s so exciting. one person dares to criticize the official website. this op is tough. regardless of whether it¡¯s banned or not, i¡¯ll follow it first.¡± in an instant, zhou tianhao¡¯s account gained hundreds of followers, and his live broadcast room had already gathered hundreds of viewers. ¡­ now, it was extremely easy to broadcast live. with a mobile phone or a computer, as long as you downloaded the software of the corresponding platform, you could start the live broadcast with one click. in order to prove himself, zhou tianhao restarted the computer to make sure that the system desktop was clean. then, he started the livestream. as soon as the live broadcast started, bullet comments flooded in. zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the endless barrage of comments. these were all the points for the lucky draw! he knew that these people were here to see him make a fool of himself. he had to repay them in a good way later! as it was a screen broadcast, zhou tianhao¡¯s expression could not be seen. the comments were still discussing his fight with the officials. ¡°the streamer is really brave and reckless. he actually dares to shout at the officials!¡± ¡°i¡¯m already prepared to see the streamer get slapped in the face.¡± ¡°streamer, if you admit defeat now, i think you can still save some face. otherwise, it won¡¯t end well.¡± ¡°what do you mean? i cooked a big pot of rice. how do you expect me to eat after you close it?¡± ¡°i¡¯m going to be a fan of this streamer¡¯s courage first. this way, i¡¯ll have fun watching it in the future.¡± ¡°that makes sense. if there¡¯s a first, there will be a second time as well. this kind of person won¡¯t stop.¡± ¡°this streamer doesn¡¯t even care about their face for the sake of popularity!¡± [how many flowers have fallen] has already followed the streamer. [xxxx] has followed the streamer. [i don¡¯t love beauty, i love the kingdom] has followed the streamer. [zhenxiongba tiantian] has followed the streamer. ¡­ looking at the comments on the screen, zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t stop smiling. pa! he gave himself a slap, warning himself not to let his joy get to his head. if he didn¡¯t succeed, he would be scolded. after forcing himself to calm down, he first opened the goose speed launcher and entered a smurf account password to log in. the familiar music started playing, and a starter character appeared on the screen. he was dressed in white and black pants, and beside him was a starter race car. ¡°the smurf account is out, but the streamer¡¯s account is really gone. it looks like it¡¯s true that he was cheating and got banned.¡± ¡°that¡¯s a false proposition. if the streamer had known, would we have seen him get slapped in the face?¡± ¡°that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°host, hurry up. it¡¯s been a long time since i¡¯ve seen someone so stubborn!¡± ¡­ in front of the screen, zhou tianhao thought to himself, ¡°eye of disorder.¡± in the next moment, his eyes became extremely deep, and a string of extremely complicated characters slid across his eyes. when zhou tianhao looked at the goose speed¡¯s game screen again, his vision was distorted. as light and shadows intersected, it was as if he had entered a strange space. the space was filled with a huge amount of codes formed by letters, numbers, and symbols. all the codes added up to form the goose speed game. ¡°this is a code space?¡± zhou tianhao was shocked by what he saw. in addition, there were hundreds of red light balls of different sizes floating in the code space. as the user of the eye of disorder, zhou tianhao knew that these red dots represented bugs in the program. the more red dots there were, the more buggy the program was. on the contrary, if there were fewer red dots, the program was outstanding. ¡°i wonder what the standard of the goose speed with hundreds of bugs is?¡± as it was a live broadcast, zhou tianhao did not turn on the other games on the computer. instead, he looked at one of the red balls of light. the moment he looked over, a new set of information appeared in his mind. it was a few simple steps, and when combined, it was: [crashing the track map with a car at 1 minute and 30 seconds: the outer wall of the 19th curve in ghost shadow perplexing track could cause the map to be messed up and create a collision disregard bug.] zhou tianhao instantly understood that as long as he followed the steps, he would be able to create the corresponding bug for the red ball of light. after obtaining the bug, the eye of disorder entered its cooldown period and could only be used tomorrow. the code space disappeared and the computer screen reappeared in his field of vision. with the help of the system, zhou tianhao could easily slap the official account in the face. the next step was to slap the faces of this group of onlookers and cut off their leeks. after rehearsing the steps in his mind, zhou tianhao could not help but become arrogant. he said into the microphone, ¡°has the goose speed¡¯s official arrived? he wouldn¡¯t be scared, right? no way, no way!¡± such an arrogant tone naturally attracted the attention of the bullet screen. ¡°f*ck! how dare the streamer be so arrogant?¡± ¡°could it be that the streamer has a cheat that even the officials can¡¯t detect? otherwise, why would he be so arrogant?¡± ¡°streamer, i advise you to stop. otherwise, if you openly cheat, not only will your account be gone, but your live broadcast room will also be banned.¡± at this moment, the official account of goose speed appeared. goose speed: ¡­ ¡°this is the official style! he doesn¡¯t have many harsh words!¡± ¡°the official face slapping is the most fatal!¡± ¡°the officials are here? start a race!¡± ¡°you brat, you¡¯re really stubborn!¡± ¡­ after confirming that the officials had entered, zhou tianhao controlled the mouse and activated the racing mode. then, he followed the steps, selected the ghost shadow perplexing track map, and clicked to start matching. once the match was successful, he would race with five other players on this new map. ¡°ghost shadow perplexing track? i don¡¯t know who designed this lousy map. it¡¯s so winding, like a maze. i almost couldn¡¯t find my way out after running for a while. i wonder if the map is created by a human because it is so poorly designed.¡± ¡°this is a new seven-star map. the map with the most stars will eventually be difficult. however, with enough practice, it can be a fun challenge to race on. unfortunately, i don¡¯t think i have what it takes to master this map. the thought of attempting it fills me with fear.¡± ¡°yes, yes. i¡¯ve seen the video of a new god recently. the map was incredibly smooth and visually stunning. it was a true pleasure to watch. however, i couldn¡¯t help but feel inadequate compared to their impressive hand speed and skill. despite being confident in my own abilities, i know i have a long way to go to reach that level of expertise.¡± ¡°so you guys are as bad as me? then i feel at ease!¡± ¡°but at least we¡¯re not trapped inside.¡± ¡°indeed, your situation is as awesome as that god to a certain extent!¡± ¡°???¡± ¡­ the bullet comments in the live broadcast room grew more and more, and the popularity increased as well. compared to the audience, some of the bullet comments smelled something different and tried to expose zhou tianhao. Chapter 4 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°is the streamer trying to find a bug in the new map to slap the official account in the face?¡± ¡°the new map seems to be more prone to bugs. the streamer is quite good at exploiting loopholes!¡± ¡°this counts? is this streamer that sneaky?¡± goose speed: ¡°no need to worry! ghost shadow perplexing track is a new and extremely challenging map with seven stars. due to its difficulty, many experienced and professional players will be using it, leaving no room for error. we have conducted numerous tests to ensure that there are no bugs before its release. it appears that the plan of the popular streamer is bound to fail!¡± as soon as the official account appeared, the bullet comments immediately began to mock zhou tianhao. the officials said that there were no bugs, so naturally, there were none. ¡°hahaha! streamer, even your bank card¡¯s password has been found out by the officials!¡± ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. is the host a primary school student? his thoughts were seen through so easily.¡± ¡°you still wanted to exploit a new loophole in the map, but you didn¡¯t expect the reinforced concrete board to block it for you, right? hahaha, i¡¯m dying of laughter!¡± ¡­ as more and more sarcastic comments appeared on the screen, zhou tianhao, who had a pitiful expression on his face, saw the game display [match successful]. the screen changed, and he and the five players entered a stage interface. before the start of the competition, the system would place six players on a stage and dance in a uniform style. during the dance, the system would also make adjustments based on the player¡¯s dress code. those with the highest dressing value would stand at the front, while those with the lowest dressing value would appear at the edge. however, there was an exception. when the dressing value was 0, the player would not dance on the stage. they could only nod and applaud from behind. zhou tianhao was using a starting account and had nothing. his clothing value was naturally 0, so he could only applaud from behind. thus, this scene was met with the ridicule of the bullet screen. ¡°i can¡¯t hold on anymore! why is the host clapping at the back?¡± ¡°there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. no matter what, the streamer can still dance, but he¡¯s cheating. he¡¯s cheating and can¡¯t be seen on the stage. naturally, he can only watch others dance from behind.¡± ¡°how do you know that the streamer is cheating? is it considered cheating if he simply chooses not to go on stage? besides the streamer¡¯s actions, is there something wrong with everyone else here?¡± ¡°good heavens, i just witnessed someone pull out their saber in front of me. would you like to grab one too? or do you want to end up like the host?¡± ¡°it¡¯s already too late.¡± ¡­ zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore. he was certain that this group of people had not even finished watching the video he posted before running to the live broadcast room to mock him with the others. however, the more this was the case, the more fun it would be. only in this way could he slap his face ruthlessly! he was not in a hurry to respond to the bullet screen, but the bullet screen was still relentless. ¡°host, give up. to be honest, i think you can still be saved!¡± ¡°host, are you sure you¡¯ve played this map before? it would be a joke if he was stuck inside and could not get out later!¡± ¡°you can say that, but if you really get dizzy and can¡¯t get out later, don¡¯t quit the game in a fit of anger! when the time comes, i¡¯ll record a video of you and put it on the internet. this kind of funny video can even increase your popularity!¡± ¡°tsk tsk, how can the host tolerate this? are you cursing us secretly with your mic closed?¡± ¡°you really don¡¯t say. it¡¯s possible!¡± ¡°host, if you have the ability to broadcast, why don¡¯t you turn on the microphone?¡± ¡°why isn¡¯t the host saying anything? did we hit the nail on the head?¡± ¡°no way, no way. the host is so stingy?¡± ¡°if you don¡¯t even have this bit of tolerance, don¡¯t be a streamer!¡± ¡­ ¡®you guys can really imagine things by yourselves¡­¡¯ zhou tianhao looked at the popularity of the live broadcast. there were about 10,000 viewers. the popularity value was high and not the actual number of people. the ratio was about 10 to 1. at this moment, there were about 1,000 people in the live broadcast room, just enough for one draw¡­ ¡®i haven¡¯t even slapped any faces yet, and i¡¯m already thinking about the lottery draw¡­¡¯ zhou tianhao smiled and shook his head. then, he placed his hands on the keyboard and prepared to start the competition. at this moment, the scene on the screen changed, and six players, including zhou tianhao, appeared on a race track. everyone sat in their respective racing cars. in front of them was a starting line made up of black and white squares. because it was a new account, zhou tianhao only had a go-kart given to him by the game system. compared to other people¡¯s cars, it looked extremely shabby. when the comparison was made, the bullet comments could not help but be sarcastic. ¡°i¡¯ve seen this scene before, but that player was a bot. he¡¯s used by the system to make up the numbers when there aren¡¯t enough people to match. say something! prove that you are not a bot.¡± ¡°no. could the host be pretending to be a bot, causing the system to misunderstand and potentially catching the bug when it¡¯s not paying attention?¡± ¡°is it possible that the streamer is really a bot? everyone here was tricked into coming in?¡± ¡°this streamer said something at the beginning, but he hasn¡¯t said anything until now. is he afraid that he¡¯ll make a mistake if he says too much and gives himself away?¡± ¡°little blackie, right? caught you!¡± ¡°who¡¯s blackie? i¡¯m telling the truth.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­. as the bullet screen was filled with intense interaction, the match began and the countdown appeared on the screen. ¡°3!¡± ¡°2!¡± ¡°1!¡± ¡°go!¡± the moment the countdown ended, zhou tianhao pressed the forward button. the exhaust of the six racing cars instantly spewed out, driving the cars forward! however, because zhou tianhao¡¯s go-kart was a gift from the system, it could not be modified. as a result, the attributes of the other five people¡¯s cars almost crushed his. therefore, as soon as he started running, he was mercilessly left behind by the others. when the others drifted past the first bend, he had just arrived at the first bend and was ready to cross it. seeing that zhou tianhao had been left behind, the bullet screen started to spam comments again. ¡°host, your bot installation is not good. the system¡¯s bot will not move. how are you going to install a bug in the bot car like this? do you need me to teach you?¡± ¡°other people always get first place when they get stuck with a bug, but you got stuck at the last place. i¡¯m impressed that you got stuck with a bug like this!¡± ¡°does the last place also need a bug? it¡¯s fine if i don¡¯t get stuck!¡± ¡°+1, the last one has a hand¡­ no, it¡¯s fine even if you don¡¯t have hands.¡± ¡­ as time passed, zhou tianhao started to get nervous. this was the first time he had gotten a bug, not to mention in front of everyone. he believed that the bug that eye of disorder saw definitely existed, but to complete the bug according to the steps, it was a test of his own ability. if it was in private, he could try however he wanted, but now that more than a thousand people were watching him, if he failed, he would definitely bear the blame. there was only one chance, and he had to seize it. fortunately, he was almost the best racing god this season. whether it was his mentality or his operation, he was top-notch. he quickly adjusted his thoughts. finally, it was 1 minute and 20 seconds. zhou tianhao had just bypassed the 18th curve and was ready to move on to the next, the most crucial 19th curve. at this moment, he could not even see the taillights of the other players who were in the lead. ¡°damn it, i finally remember the fear of being dominated by this curve!¡± ¡­ Chapter 5 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the 18th and 19th turns were not smooth sailing. it was a tall slope, and there were several irregular curves in the middle. although this section of the road was not the most challenging, it was the easiest spot to make mistakes. the left side of the track was protruding, and the right side was dented. it was extremely irregular. it was very difficult for the racing car to drift completely inside. it had to be adjusted in time with special methods to pass quickly. otherwise, it would keep bumping into each boundary. ¡°damn it, this damn place. i only needed three minutes to complete this map, but it took me 30 seconds to complete this turn. i was so angry that i almost smashed my computer.¡± ¡°the designer is simply not a human. this is too disgusting!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. can¡¯t you let me fly freely from above? why did you have to create those disgusting lumps and force me down from the sky? it makes me wonder if the designer was a dog instead of a human.¡± ¡°the technique required for this turn is very difficult. watching the racing god¡¯s video, i couldn¡¯t even count how many buttons he had to press per second to pass it quickly. i doubt i¡¯ll ever reach that level in my life.¡± ¡°yes, yes! the racing god is truly amazing! he was the first to post the video and came up with the technique himself. many racing videos have since copied it. it¡¯s simply unprecedented!¡± ¡°it¡¯s a pity that the racing god¡¯s video does not reveal his game id. he¡¯s probably afraid of being recognized and added as a friend.¡± ¡°i guess so. there must be a lot of people who want to learn such a skill.¡± ¡°indeed, i¡¯m very happy too! although i might not be able to learn it!¡± ¡°it¡¯s true. even if you understand the principles behind some operations, you definitely won¡¯t be able to do it. this is the difference between an ordinary person and a god!¡± ¡°i¡¯m a cripple!¡± ¡°+1!¡± ¡­ a row of comments rolled by, and zhou tianhao flew out from the terrain above. in front of him was an extremely irregular race track. with the bullet screen as a stepping stone, everyone understood how disgusting this race track was. seeing him fly out like a hothead, the bullet screen was gloating, ready to see how he would suffer on this track. ¡°can the host do it? do you want me to send you the racing god¡¯s video so that you can learn it?¡± ¡°don¡¯t, don¡¯t force the streamer. if he can learn it, i¡¯ll be the number one expert in racing!¡± ¡°there are some skills that can¡¯t be learned simply through desire. for instance, if i wanted to learn how to challenge game officials like the streamer did, even if he were willing to teach me, it would be difficult because it goes against my natural instincts.¡± ¡°that¡¯s true. while techniques can be improved with practice, the ability to be fearless of death requires talent that not everyone possesses. it¡¯s just that the side effects are big, and the brain is not very good.¡± at this moment, zhou tianhao drove the go-kart into the irregular track leading to turn 19. the time had reached 1 minute and 23 seconds. ¡°i recall that god cleared this track in just 7 seconds, but it took me 30 seconds. is that the difference between us?¡± ¡°guess how many seconds the streamer will take?¡± ¡°why bother guessing? i¡¯ve already spent 30 seconds. if the streamer takes less time than me, i¡¯ll uninstall the game right away!¡± ¡°i think you might be overestimating the streamer. it¡¯s hard to say if they can finish in under a minute.¡± ¡°one minute is too much.¡± suddenly, everyone in the live broadcast room heard the sound of typing on the keyboard. it was only produced when the hand speed was very fast! the next moment, everyone saw the go-kart on the screen. the go-kart mysteriously turned and moved. in a way that exceeded common sense, it bypassed obstacle after obstacle. when the go-kart rushed out of all the obstacles, the time had reached 1 minute and 29 seconds! at this moment, they saw that the go-kart in the middle of the screen seemed to have lost control. it was clearly approaching the curve, but it did not drift or turn. instead, it crashed straight into the outer wall! no one knew why the owner of this car would do this after suddenly displaying that amazing operation! this second was very long. it was long enough to change everyone¡¯s mentality. however, it was also very short. 1 minute 30 seconds. everyone watched as zhou tianhao¡¯s go-kart slammed into the wall! in such a situation, it was as if they could see through the live broadcast room and the computer how flustered the owner of the go-kart was! at this moment, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with regret! it was the feeling of seeing a genius being strangled in the cradle. this feeling was like walking on a tightrope to the last step but falling down because of panic at the last moment. it was both amazing and regretful. if he could run through this curve perfectly, he would definitely amaze everyone! even so, the bullet comments that had never stopped before suddenly quieted down. everyone was in extreme shock. some of them had already lost their patience and were about to send out their text comments when they suddenly realized: the go-kart on the screen did not stop because it hit the wall. instead, it went through the outer wall and got stuck outside the track! everyone: ¡°???¡± all the bullet comments were stunned! what the hell was going on? ¡°f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!¡± ¡°is this intentional or accidental?¡± ¡°it should be intentional.¡± ¡°what the f*ck, it flew directly out of the track!¡± the bullet screen was in an uproar. zhou tianhao¡¯s actions of getting out of the race track were beyond shocking! not only that, but his go-kart did not stop because of this. instead, it rushed to the finish line at an extremely fast speed! the map of ghost shadow perplexing was not big. if there were no restrictions on the race track, the starting point and the finishing line were actually very close! even if the other players were far ahead of him, they would not be able to reach the finish line faster than him. because the straight line between two points was the shortest! ignoring the race track, zhou tianhao took only 10 seconds to overtake the other five players and reach the finish line! time: 1 minute 40 seconds! and the video of the racing god that he had seen on the bullet screen took two whole minutes! zhou tianhao used this bug to break the record effortlessly! and the bug was successfully revealed. not only did it slap the official account¡¯s face, but it also slapped the face of everyone in the live broadcast room! the game officials swore that there would be no bugs in this map, but what was this? at this moment, everyone felt as if they had been slapped in the face, and their faces were burning. ¡°f*ck! was this even possible? did it really get stuck just like that?¡± ¡°damn it! although i was slapped in the face, i feel so good. why?¡± ¡°because he did what no one else could. no, i kept scolding him just now. now i¡¯m so embarrassed! my toes began to shrivel. the three rooms and one living room were waiting for me to dig them out!¡± ¡°this is f*cking awesome! this was a slap in the face to the official account in front of everyone! he really did it! how did he do it!¡± ¡°i have no words to say. f*ck!¡± .. in the rented house. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1.¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1.¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1.¡± .. the sound of slaps rang in zhou tianhao¡¯s mind. although the sound of slapping was a little monotonous, the number of slaps increased. the slapping sounds made him feel as if he was on a huge stage with tens of thousands of people, listening to the audience applaud and cheer for him! the feeling of being slapped in the face could not be said to be very good, but it could only be said to be especially satisfying! he looked at his face slapping points. this time, he earned a total of more than 500 face slapping points. ¡°that¡¯s not right! why were there only 500 people out of 1,000?¡± zhou tianhao could not understand why the difference was so huge. he did not manage to reap the full benefits of his face slapping. he estimated that there would be a thousand! 500 face slapping points were not even enough for one lottery draw. what went wrong? at this moment, some bullet comments caught his attention. ¡°no! why would you think that this kind of streamer is awesome?¡± Chapter 6 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°that¡¯s right! what makes a streamer who relies on bugs to win games so powerful?¡± ¡°are the bullet comments in this live broadcast room stupid? no matter what, a bug is still a bug. was there any technical content? can this streamer actually play at a professional level? throughout the stream, the streamer lacked skills and did not make the live stream visually attractive. he did not say much from the beginning to the end. i don¡¯t know what¡¯s so good about this kind of streamer.¡± ¡°indeed. after hearing your perspective, it¡¯s clear that this streamer is indeed like a clown who likes to play to the gallery. he only knows how to win by using underhanded means.¡± ¡°that makes sense. who would watch such a trash streamer?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly understood the reason. not all the viewers in the live broadcast room were attracted by his interaction with the officials. many of them were spectators. they had been attracted to the livestream because of its high popularity. these people didn¡¯t understand why he wanted to showcase the bug, causing some contradictions. since there was no clear cause-and-effect relationship, he couldn¡¯t earn face slapping points. zhou tianhao did not care about the mocking comments. he was more concerned about not having enough face slapping points to draw a lottery. how could he draw with so little? just as he was about to come up with a solution, a different rhythm suddenly appeared on the bullet screen. ¡°those of you who said that the streamer is trash, wait a moment. i don¡¯t know how many of you have seen the racing video of ghost shadow¡¯s perplexing track. but those who have seen it, reflect on it carefully.¡± ¡°f*ck! you really don¡¯t have to say that they look a little alike!¡± ¡°yes. i didn¡¯t dare to speak just now because i was afraid of being criticized. the host¡¯s operation just now was really awesome. i don¡¯t think there¡¯s a second one here!¡± ¡°i think you can remove the ¡® don¡¯t think¡¯ part. there¡¯s definitely no one else.¡± ¡°are you guys suspecting that the streamer is actually the racing god?¡± ¡°what? is it impossible? can you do that?¡± at this moment, a bullet screen appeared and said weakly. ¡°didn¡¯t you guys finish watching the video that the streamer posted?¡± ¡°no. i always enter the comments section directly.¡± ¡°who wants to watch the video first? don¡¯t you all think it would be better to read the comments section directly?¡± ¡°yes. entering the comments section feels like coming home. everyone in there is talented, and their words are nice. before watching a video, i always check the comments.¡± ¡°awesome¡­ i suggest you go back and watch the video first. this streamer might really be a racing god¡­¡± in an instant, there were fewer bullet comments. many people were reminded and rushed to watch the video that zhou tianhao posted at the beginning. ten minutes later, the bullet comments appeared again. ¡°f*ck! was this for real? are those screenshots and videos yours?¡± ¡°no way! wasn¡¯t the video clip edited?¡± ¡°host, how can you prove that those things are yours?¡± ¡°yeah, i don¡¯t quite believe it. the officials dare to ban your account?¡± at this moment, zhou tianhao spoke. his tone was calm and carried a hint of arrogance. ¡°i originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary person. but in return, i was slandered and questioned. now, i won¡¯t pretend anymore. i¡¯m the strongest racing god. i¡¯ll lay my cards on the table!¡± with that, zhou tianhao opened a website under everyone¡¯s gaze. this was another popular platform called douyin. it was the most popular video platform in recent years. actually, he didn¡¯t expect this video to be so popular. back then, he had just randomly posted it, and the title was just a little vague. he didn¡¯t think too much about it after he became famous. he wasn¡¯t too interested in these things. what he pursued was extreme control. when the video was released, it was also at the beginning of the new season. he had been aiming for the number one racing god title and did not care about the video at all. he basically let it spread wildly. in the end, he did not expect that his unintentional action at that time would now help him a lot! zhou tianhao clicked on it and entered his account details. after logging in successfully, he entered the backstage of a submission video. the backstage was empty except for a video. look closely at the title: ¡°seeking maltreatment!¡± the first record of the seven star map ¡®ghost shadow perplexing track¡¯ on the entire internet, a 2-minute unique running method!¡± below the video were millions of views and tens of thousands of comments. looking at the number of followers, just this video alone had made this account called emperor tianhao reach nearly 200,000 fans. although this was not a lot, it gave all the people a way to verify. zhou tianhao¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°i know you don¡¯t believe me. you can compare them yourself to see if these numbers are true.¡± seeing this, the bullet comments all opened their battle voices. those who had followed him found their own list of followers, while those who had not clicked on the input bar to search for ¡®emperor tianhao¡¯. after they found it, they opened the personal info page and began to compare the numbers subconsciously. seeing that the comments had quietened down, zhou tianhao waited for a few seconds. after giving them time to turn on the battle notes, he started to guide them. he used the mouse to point at the corresponding numbers. ¡°6.48 million views. it¡¯s not much, but it¡¯s the same as what you saw on your phones, right?¡± at this moment, all the bullet comments felt like they had been slapped in the face! the applause in zhou tianhao¡¯s mind was endless. [pa! face slapping points +1!] [pa! face slapping points +1!] [pa! face slapping points +1!] ¡­ this time, he gained more than 100 face slapping points. his eyes lit up as he continued to move the mouse over and continued. ¡°13,254 comments. it¡¯s not a lot, but none of them are worse than what you saw, right?¡± [pa! face slapping points +1!] [pa! face slapping points +1!] .. ¡°likes: 350,000. it should be just right?¡± [pa! face slapping points +1!] [pa! face slapping points +1!] .. ¡°number of fans: 18,904. other people might not have as many fans even if they have hundreds of videos. it should be easy to distinguish my videos from others, right? do you still have any doubts?¡± [pa! face slapping points +1!] every time zhou tianhao listed a verification, a large group of people would be slapped in the face by zhou tianhao. after a few verifications, he directly slapped more than 500 people in the face and earned more than 500 face slapping points. adding on the 500 points he had just received, it was enough for him to draw the prize once! zhou tianhao¡¯s actions proved one thing to everyone. that he was the top racing god who had created an unprecedented racing technique in the video, set a new record, and reached the peak of his skills! at this moment, the people in the comment section were all stunned! they had never thought that the streamer in front of them would be so awesome! in response, everyone entered a very common symbol in the bullet screen that matched their emotions very well and began scrolling! ¡°?????????¡± ¡°???????¡± ¡°?????????????¡± ¡°?????¡± ¡°???¡± ¡°?????¡± .. in the office of goose speed, goose speed studios. someone was logged into the goose speed official media account on her computer. a girl who looked very delicate sat there with her lips slightly open and her pupils dilated. she seemed to have lost her vitality. her name was xiao ruoyan, and she was a member of goose speed¡¯s public relations department. she was in charge of the official media account. other than the publicity department borrowing the official media account to release some new versions of the content, she was in charge the rest of the time. in order to improve user engagement, the company also required her to interact with the players frequently in addition to her necessary work. because of her lively personality, she had never felt burdened by this matter until today. because she couldn¡¯t control her tiny hand, she clicked on the title: ¡°don¡¯t click on it, racing god of ten years has been banned for no reason!¡± the video¡­ originally, she could have completely ignored it. although the word ¡®racing god¡¯ was most likely related to the goose speed, she could have pretended not to see it. although this kind of situation was not common, there must be more than one of them. she ended up being involved in this sort of thing. ¡°what a sin!¡± ¡­ Chapter 7 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°is this a dream? why is there really a bug?¡± xiao ruoyan looked at the scrolling question marks on the screen and fell into uncertainty. she had never expected that this player would actually reveal a bug! in an instant, xiao ruoyan felt her cheeks burning as if she had been slapped. she felt that such a big reversal was ridiculous. she clicked on the comment box and typed a question mark. as she was about to send it, she noticed the player listing evidence one after another, proving he was a top player with extraordinary skills. xiao ruoyan: ¡°???¡± the more she looked at it, the more ridiculous it became. she subconsciously added a few exclamation marks. thus, a different person appeared on the bullet screen filled with question marks. goose speed: ¡°???!!!¡± after sending it, she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed on the office chair. she muttered, ¡°what should i do? am i really going to lose my job and unban his account?¡± she had not forgotten her initial promise. however, xiao ruoyan knew very well that as an internal staff member, she had no right to change the judgment made by the testing system. that was the job of the technical department. to do this, she had to risk losing her job and go to the technical department to tamper with the player¡¯s data. for a leading company like the goose speed studios, the player¡¯s data was an inviolable privacy. even their technical staff needed the permission of the higher-ups to check it. as long as she dared to do that, losing her job might not be a big deal. she might even be invited to tea by the relevant departments. oh, no, she would definitely be invited, and she might even stay there for a long time¡­ thinking of this, xiao ruoyan had already begun to retreat. however, she wanted to give up but was unwilling to go against her conscience. after all, she had personally promised. ¡°what¡¯s wrong, ruoyan?¡± at this moment, an ergonomic chair slid out from the workstation next to xiao ruoyan. seated upon it was a slightly plump man in a casual suit. though his face seemed ordinary, it exuded an air of shrewdness and experience. his name was qi jun, and he was also in the public relations department. however, he was usually in charge of offline affairs. ¡°brother jun, what do you think i should do?¡± seeing qi jun, xiao ruoyan seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and quickly told him everything. ¡°that¡¯s easy. trying to help him get unbanned could lead to serious consequences. unless you know someone from the technical department, you can even be sent to jail for this. fortunately, you asked me.¡± after hearing what had happened, qi jun looked at xiao ruoyan, who had a lingering fear on her face, and said with a smile, ¡°do as i say. i guarantee that you won¡¯t have any future troubles. also, we¡¯re the official voice. be more confident. the final explanation is in our hands.¡± ¡°brother jun, please teach me how to deal with this.¡± hearing that this matter could be resolved, xiao ruoyan quickly began to humbly ask for advice. ¡°you¡¯re still too inexperienced. you can¡¯t even think about such a small matter.¡± qi jun stood up from his chair and walked over. he placed one hand on the table and looked at the live broadcast room on the computer. he smiled and said, ¡°you should know that using bugs and cheating are both vicious acts that destroy the balance of the game. he did this in front of so many people. we can submit an application to ban his account.¡± ¡°ah?¡± xiao ruoyan couldn¡¯t react in time and spoke in a daze, ¡°but isn¡¯t the bug an issue with the game? isn¡¯t it our fault? how can we ban his account?¡± ¡°are you stupid? why should we take responsibility for everything? besides, what game doesn¡¯t have bugs? if he had reported the bug to us, we would have appreciated him. however, he used the bug to disrupt the balance of the game and abuse other players. since he chose to exploit it, we have no choice but to take action and ban his account.¡± ¡°but i feel that this reason is so far-fetched. besides, his account was mistakenly blocked, so he showcased a bug to refute me.¡± after hearing this, qi jun expressed disappointment, ¡°you¡¯re new and haven¡¯t learned much in the past few months. can you not find a way to excuse yourself from this situation?¡± ¡°what reason?¡± ¡°when making decisions, we must consider the bigger picture. we¡¯ll use whatever reason is most suitable and beneficial to us.¡± ¡°brother jun, don¡¯t keep me in suspense. tell me quickly!¡± xiao ruoyan said with a bitter face. qi jun¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. ¡°let me think. didn¡¯t he say that he was mistakenly banned? then we can use his action of showcasing the bug. we can say he got banned for exploiting a malicious bug, which is also an illegal operation. this will connect the dots and ensure he cannot deny it, and no one will be willing to support him!¡± ¡°it-it can be¡­ used like this?¡± xiao ruoyan was shocked and speechless for a long time. ¡°remember, this is the benefit of having the right to speak.¡± after qi jun finished speaking, he glanced at xiao ruoyan and probed, ¡°do you know what to do next?¡± ¡°ah?¡± xiao ruoyan¡¯s brain was still in a state of shock. she did not think about what was going to happen next. seeing this, qi jun pulled the chair beside him like a gentleman and said helplessly, ¡°i¡¯ll help you solve it. learn well.¡± ¡°ah, okay. thank you, brother jun.¡± xiao ruoyan quickly got up and pulled out a chair. her face was filled with gratitude as she watched qi jun slide to her computer and place his hands on the keyboard. he said confidently, ¡°the first step is to pour dirty water and dye white into black.¡± ¡­ on the screen, a player character stood on the podium and waved his hands in thanks. the other five were all clapping and cheering. however, it was just a game setting. the losing players would cheer for the winning players. in goose speed, as long as one player reached the finish line first, a 10-second countdown would appear. if the players behind did not reach the finish line within 10 seconds, they would be forced to end the race, and their race would be displayed as incomplete. as for the players who did not complete the race, even if they were in the top three at the end, they would not be able to stand on the podium and could only applaud. during this time, players were free to speak. when they saw a player in a white shirt and black pants standing in the first place, they were all dumbfounded. ¡°f*ck! what was going on? wasn¡¯t this guy a bot? how did he get first place!?¡± ¡°damn, this is cheating! i ran so hard to break out of the tight encirclement and take first place. but in the end, i couldn¡¯t finish and had to applaud from below. what the hell is this?¡± zhou tianhao reached the finish line in 1 minute and 40 seconds. even in his racing video, this map took two minutes. in terms of skill, these players weren¡¯t even worthy of carrying his shoes, so it would only take longer. with only a 10-second countdown, even he himself could not defeat this bug, let alone these passersby. therefore, it was only natural that it wasn¡¯t completed, unless he cheated. in response, the five people who believed they were defeated by the cheat expressed their outrage and exclaimed, ¡°you can¡¯t play fair, can you!¡± ¡°if you have the guts, let¡¯s do it again. i¡¯ll cheat too. i guarantee that i¡¯ll torture you until you cry!¡± ¡°you¡¯re f*cking ridiculous! you went from last place to first place. it¡¯s like you are standing on the podium in your family. you are the only one, right?¡± ¡°those who cheat are orphans. in the novels i read, the main characters are all from the orphanage.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. their parents are sacrificed to the heavens, and their magical power is boundless.¡± ¡­ ¡°what does a cheater have to do with me showing a bug?¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t care at all. he looked at the bullet screen full of question marks and said, ¡°is the goose speed official still around? didn¡¯t you say that your game was free of bugs? also, when will my account be unbanned?¡± with the three consecutive hits, the bullet screen instantly became lively again. Chapter 8 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation goose speed studios. qi jun laughed when he saw zhou tianhao getting scolded by the five players. ¡°brother jun, what are you laughing at?¡± xiao ruoyan asked in confusion. ¡°i¡¯m laughing at the heavens for helping me.¡± ¡°look at how angry these players are,¡± qi jun explained. ¡°this is our best excuse.¡± ¡°what? what do you mean?¡± xiao ruoyan was at a loss. she did not think that the two could be connected. ¡°how did you get into the department?¡± qi jun could not help but complain, ¡°who are we? we are the official developers. these players are our bread and butter. without the players, there would be no us. if the players are being persecuted, of course we have to take action!¡± ¡°oh, i think i understand now!¡± xiao ruoyan came to a sudden realization. ¡°you¡¯re saying that as the managers behind the players, we have the obligation to maintain the fairness of the game. we must see ourselves as the party of justice and judge this streamer. if he violated the rules of the game, it¡¯s justifiable to ban his account!¡± qi jun nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°you might not think it¡¯s nice to say it that way, but it¡¯s the truth. do you understand?¡± ¡°i understand, but¡­¡± xiao ruoyan wanted to say something but hesitated. in the end, she fell silent. for a moment, she seemed to have seen the dark side of this world. she suddenly felt a little afraid. she was afraid to tear open that side, afraid to see that bloody and cruel scene. ¡°as long as the position is high and the power is great, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be black¡­¡± xiao ruoyan thought to herself and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. she knew that this was the real world. when she looked at the live broadcast room, she could not help but feel pity for it. she knew that no matter how good this top-notch player was, he would not be able to turn the tables if qi jun¡¯s combination of punches landed on him! ¡°watch carefully. the next part is the main event.¡± qi jun noticed that xiao ruoyan was absent-minded and reminded her, ¡°learn well. there will be many such things in the future.¡± ¡°oh, okay!¡± xiao ruoyan came back to her senses and looked at the live broadcast room. however, her eyes lacked a pure radiance. ¡­ ¡°are the officials still there? are you really afraid?¡± zhou tianhao spoke again, but he did not get a reply for a long time. after zhou tianhao¡¯s face-slapping, many haters had turned into fans. ¡°f*ck, goose speed¡¯s official account really ran away!¡± ¡°this is the official account?¡± ¡°officials, if you have the ability to bet, don¡¯t you have the ability to honor the bet?¡± ¡°no, can¡¯t you be less shameless?¡± .. qi jun was explaining to xiao ruoyan. ¡°remember, public relations is not as simple as issuing a statement. you have to learn to control public opinion and guide the emotions of the masses. if necessary, you can hire fake reviewers, but not today.¡± ¡°why?¡± xiao ruoyan¡¯s eyes were dark. she felt that she was becoming dirty, but in order to keep her job, she chose to endure. ¡°because the emotions are enough, the audience is now fence-sitters. they will fall in whichever direction the wind blows. you just need to guide them appropriately.¡± as he said that, qi jun typed a few words into the bullet screen as a response to zhou tianhao. ¡°do you think it¡¯s fair?¡± .. in the live broadcast room. ¡°do you think it¡¯s fair?¡± zhou tianhao was taken aback and responded, ¡°what do you mean by fairness? are you suggesting that i won unfairly?¡± goose speed replied, ¡°it¡¯s not about me. it¡¯s about those players you abused.¡± as soon as he said this, the bullet screen quieted down and started to watch the confrontation between the two sides. ¡°why are you telling me all this? i made a bet with you and won. can you please unban me now?¡± ¡°besides, i was banned by mistake. i did this to prove to you that this game has bugs. that means that the detection system is wonky. it¡¯s not a loss for you after all!¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t know why the goose speed official mentioned this, but he instinctively felt that it wasn¡¯t a good thing so he didn¡¯t follow their words. after zhou tianhao finished speaking, his supporters started to speak. ¡°that¡¯s right. don¡¯t you officials know what kind of person the streamer is? with his skills, did he need to break the rules?¡± ¡°i believe the video now. i couldn¡¯t dream of being the first racing god of the season. do you know what you lost by banning such a high-skilled player¡¯s account? don¡¯t you have any idea?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. how many top players have the streamer and the others pulled in for you? just that video alone had a few million views. how much more revenue would it increase for you? do you dare to say it?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. what a disgusting official. i¡¯ll say it here today. if you don¡¯t unban the streamer, i¡¯ll directly uninstall the game!¡± ¡°me too. i mean what i say!¡± ¡­ seeing the public opinion leaning toward the streamer, xiao ruoyan was a little flustered. ¡°he¡¯s even starting to scold us!¡± ¡°tsk tsk, i didn¡¯t expect this guy to have such a sharp mouth.¡± qi jun did not panic at all in the face of the criticism of the bullet screen. he smiled and said, ¡°don¡¯t be anxious. the higher he¡¯s praised now, the worse he will fall later.¡± ¡°it¡¯s my turn.¡± after saying that, he started to send bullet comments. ¡°don¡¯t change the topic,¡± the goose speed account said. ¡°the detection system exists to punish players like you.¡± ¡°originally, we didn¡¯t expose your background, but you asked for it. in front of the officials, do you think you still have any secrets?¡± ¡°look at the angry faces of the five players. the game is supposed to bring joy to people, but you treat them like this!¡± ¡°as officials, we will never forgive the players who destroy the game environment!¡± as soon as this was said, there were more emotional comments on the bullet screen. ¡°i suddenly pity those people. they clearly wanted to play a game, but they were treated like this!¡± ¡°yeah, especially the one who got first place. he worked so hard to get first place, but he was directly beaten by this stupid streamer. he didn¡¯t even reach the finish line. if it were me, i¡¯d probably be so angry that i¡¯d smash my computer!¡± ¡°streamer, you¡¯re so ruthless. how can you do such a thing?¡± seeing that the emotions were almost stirred up, qi jun continued typing in front of the computer: ¡°next is the official announcement.¡± ¡°after our technical staff investigated and collected evidence, you were detected to have violated the rules: maliciously using bugs to play the game and obtain improper ranking points. this was also the reason why you were ahead of others and rushed to the first place so quickly.¡± ¡°goose speed has been running this game for more than ten years based on the principle of fairness and justice. it has an extremely top-notch and perfect detection system that can detect any behavior that destroys the balance of the game.¡± ¡°you thought you weren¡¯t cheating, but your malicious act of using a bug to obtain ranking points for yourself still broke the balance of the game and hurt other players. this is a serious violation of the game rules we established.¡± ¡°therefore, banning you is a very reasonable and legitimate action. please do not harm other players for your own selfish desires in the future. in addition, we will fix the bug as soon as possible. please wait patiently for your account to be unbanned.¡± these few words immediately blew up the bullet screen. Chapter 9 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°tsk, i initially believed the host was innocent, but he was banned for breaking the rules.¡± ¡°f*ck, i trusted you, but it seems like you have a problem. you said you didn¡¯t cheat, but what¡¯s the difference?¡± ¡°so what? could a god abuse players just because they were using a bug? do you have a conscience?¡± ¡°you possess this skill, yet you use cheap tricks. are you crazy?¡± ¡°isn¡¯t your skin as thick as city walls? how can you do such a thing?¡± ¡°how could there be such a person? i was wondering why you were able to rank up so quickly.¡± ¡°oh no, my image of the racing god has been shattered. i used to think they were a talented player, but it turns out they rely on cheating to win.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. trash streamer, stop broadcasting and get lost!¡± ¡­ the comments were all over the place. zhou tianhao¡¯s face was dark, but he did not respond. instead, he chose to close the livestream. although this was equivalent to acknowledging the official statement, the official statement had absolute authority. in the eyes of the players, the officials wouldn¡¯t simply speak nonsense. therefore, once this statement was released, he could not clear his name even if he jumped into the yellow river. whether he closed the livestream or not, he had already confirmed the fact that he had been banned for violating the rules. as the person involved, zhou tianhao knew very well that this was just a counterattack by the officials to prevent him from unbanning his account. he was the only one who knew if he had broken the rules, even if others might be fooled by such a statement. ¡°if you¡¯re heartless, don¡¯t blame me for being unjust!¡± actually, there was another reason why he had chosen to close his live broadcast room. that was because he could only face-slap them once a day and would only be able to refresh it tomorrow. if he were to counterattack now, he would be satisfied with the face slapping, but he would lose face slapping points. this was another lucky draw opportunity, and he didn¡¯t want to waste it. hence, zhou tianhao chose to make a strategic retreat. the live broadcast room suddenly went dark, but the bullet comments were still on ¡°carnival.¡± ¡°idiot, you finally admitted it, right? you ran quite fast!¡± ¡°only the internet can give a child like you a place to live. if you dare to do this in front of me in reality, i would beat you to death!¡± ¡°shameless dog, the environment of our domestic games is so bad because of rat sh*t like you!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. you¡¯re not fit to play games. hurry up and go to hell!¡± .. ¡°done!¡± in the public relations department, qi jun stood up and said, ¡°that¡¯s enough. not only does it protect our official image, but it also completely gives a proper explanation for this person¡¯s ban. he won¡¯t be able to explain it even if he opened his mouth ten times. this way, you don¡¯t have to think about unbanning him anymore.¡± ¡°oh, okay! thank you, brother jun!¡± xiao ruoyan felt very strange. the matter had clearly been resolved, but she did not feel happy at all. ¡°it¡¯s a small matter. in the future, you just have to do this kind of thing according to my method.¡± ¡°yes, i will.¡± after xiao ruoyan finished speaking, she saw that the live broadcast room had suddenly turned black and disconnected. however, the bullet comments were still cursing. she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. she folded her hands, lowered her head, and lay on the table for a long time without moving. half an hour later, xiao ruoyan raised her face. although her eyes were still lifeless, she was more energetic. she opened the office software and typed a document quickly. the content was simple and clear. it was a description of the bug in the new map of goose speed, ghost shadow perplexing track. she wasn¡¯t sure how zhou tianhao did it, but she felt that since the bug existed, it had to be fixed. soon, she printed the document on a piece of paper. when she picked up the paper and was about to leave the public relations department to go to the technical department, she happened to meet qi jun. ¡°what are you going to do?¡± qi jun asked curiously when he saw xiao ruoyan walking out with a piece of paper. ¡°i¡¯m going to submit the bug!¡± qi jun was taken aback by xiao ruoyan¡¯s matter-of-fact attitude. ¡°aren¡¯t you only thirty years old this year?¡± her memory was fading so quickly. xiao ruoyan complained in her heart and explained, ¡°brother jun, don¡¯t you know? you said that you wanted to fix the bug that the streamer triggered. so i prepared a report to submit to the technical department¡­¡± ¡°you¡­ what should i do about you?¡± qi jun was a little disappointed. ¡°the biggest taboo between departments is to manage too much. the technical department is currently preoccupied with their own tasks. as a public relations department, it¡¯s best to avoid adding more work for them. do you think it¡¯s likely for the manager to meet with you over tea tomorrow?¡± ¡°however, should we simply overlook this issue?¡± xiao ruoyan appeared confused.didn¡¯t everyone have to work together to make this game good? why did he ignore the bug now that he had discovered it? even informing them was a mistake? ¡°do you still not understand why the company has so many departments? it¡¯s to separate the responsibilities. no need to concern yourself with matters outside of your control. the technical department will take care of it. i only mentioned wanting to fix the bug in order to address player concerns. our goal is to appease the people. this is the responsibility of the public relations department.¡± ¡°won¡¯t this bug affect the balance of the game? do we still not care about this?¡± xiao ruoyan was still a little unconvinced. she felt that no matter what, she should at least inform them. qi jun saw that he couldn¡¯t persuade her, so he simply stepped aside. ¡°then go ahead. there are many things that are useless to talk about.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll go then.¡± xiao ruoyan pursed her lips and walked through the floors with a trace of stubbornness. she arrived at the entrance of the technical department. just as she was about to open the door, she found that the door of the technical department was locked. she needed an id card to enter. there was no one around, so she could only wait outside. unlike the public relations department, no one here knew who she was, nor did they know who she was looking for. after standing for half an hour, just as xiao ruoyan was about to give up, a man wearing a pair of thick glasses walked over. he looked less than 30 years old but already had a pitiful amount of hair. he was obviously a senior programmer. looking at the work badge on his chest, he was indeed a member of the technical department. xiao ruoyan was relieved. she quickly walked forward and asked, ¡°hello, may i ask who i should hand over the bug report to?¡± when he heard the word ¡®bug¡¯, the man immediately frowned as if he didn¡¯t care how young and beautiful the girl in front of him was. he asked rather impatiently, ¡°who are you? are you new? what bug?¡± ¡°no. i¡¯m from the public relations department. it¡¯s the recently released map, ghost shadow perplexing track. i saw someone showcase a bug that allows them to skip the race track anddirectly rush to the finish line. this kind of bug is very detrimental to the balance of the game. i think¡­¡± before xiao ruoyan could finish, she was interrupted. the man spoke impatiently, ¡°why are you talking so much nonsense? what is the public relations department doing here? do you know what a bug is? who asked you to come?¡± xiao ruoyan, who did not understand the way the man talked, immediately looked aggrieved. however, she suppressed her anger and sniffed. she said solemnly again, ¡°i wanted to come. i felt that this bug would affect the balance of the game, so i took the initiative to inform you guys and ask you to fix this bug!¡± ¡°how much experience do you have?¡± ¡­ Chapter 10 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the man did not hold back at all and retorted directly, ¡°do you know how the bug was created? does this bug fix involve any changes? how much effort does a bug fix take? we¡¯re already so busy with our own matters, and we still have to deal with your problems?¡± ¡°also, why don¡¯t we know about this bug? do you know how it was triggered? if it was just an accidental bug, then we shouldn¡¯t worry about it happening again. spending even a second on this bug is a waste of time. if this bug caused delays in other projects and ultimately resulted in missed deadlines, who would be held accountable?¡± ¡°do you even understand bugs, woman?¡± xiao ruoyan: ¡°???¡± .. when she returned to the public relations department, xiao ruoyan, whose face was ashen, lay on the chair as if she had lost her vitality. suddenly, a cup of coffee was handed to her. she looked up and saw qi jun holding the coffee and smiling. ¡°didn¡¯t i tell you? in the future, remember not to meddle in things that don¡¯t concern you.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± xiao ruoyan picked up the coffee and took a sip, but she was still a little distracted. ¡°this matter ends here. don¡¯t bother about it anymore. there are still other things to do.¡± qi jun comforted her. ¡°i know that you¡¯ve just joined the company, so you have a sense of collective honor. otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have gotten into this kind of trouble. but you have to understand that it¡¯s not that many things can¡¯t be solved, but it depends on what can be achieved after you solve them. you have to learn to use your limited energy wisely.¡± ¡°yes.¡± xiao ruoyan nodded and said gratefully, ¡°thank you, brother jun.¡± ¡°you¡¯re welcome.¡± ¡°cheer up,¡± qi jun said gentlemanly. ¡°there¡¯s a new version to be released soon. we¡¯ll be busy.¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll work hard.¡± .. in the rented house. zhou tianhao rested his chin on his hand and stared at the computer screen in a daze. he was actually waiting. through this live broadcast, the bug in ghost shadow perplexing track had been revealed. the next step was to wait for the bug to be fixed. however, he had been online for nearly an hour, but he still hadn¡¯t received any notification from the system. in other words, the bug had not been fixed. he did not know the exact reason. ¡°maybe it will take a long time to fix the bug. then let¡¯s not care about it for now. let¡¯s draw the prize first.¡± zhou tianhao got up from the chair and lay on the bed. in an instant, a circular prize plate appeared in his field of vision. it was divided into eight areas, but it was covered by a layer of fog, so he could not see the specific rewards. below it was a screen that displayed his face slapping points balance. [face slapping points: 1193.] in this live broadcast, the number of people who were successfully slapped in the face by him was a little more than expected, but it was still alright. since it was from the system, zhou tianhao was not worried that he would get any dangerous items. ¡°lottery.¡± he silently chanted in his heart. after the face slapping points automatically decreased by 1,000, the needle immediately lit up and began to spin rapidly. five seconds later, zhou tianhao saw the needle stop in the north. the fog in the area quickly dispersed. zhou tianhao saw a round bag filled with gold coins. [ding! congratulations to the host for obtaining a money bag. you can randomly draw any amount of money between 1 and 1 million.] [ding! do you want to open the money bag now?] ¡°money bag!¡± zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes lit up. he was overjoyed and said without hesitation, ¡°open!¡± with that, the cloth bag full of gold coins appeared in front of him again. thump! a few gold coins popped out of the cloth bag and fell back into the bag. then, a circle of light appeared and surrounded them. it was very similar to the skin-changing mini games he had played before. it was full of poor sfx quality. as expected, a light appeared with a few large golden words. [congratulations on obtaining 100,000 cash!] [note: the higher the monetary reward, the lower the probability of it appearing.] [note: the cash will be distributed through reasonable and legal channels.] ¡°how much is this?¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t see how much money he had drawn. he started counting with his fingers, ¡°one, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand!¡± just as he finished counting, zhou tianhao¡¯s shattered mobile screen lit up. he focused his eyes. ¡°[bank x], your account ending with 520 has received 100,000.00 yuan. the balance is 100,023.00 yuan.¡± zhou tianhao was stunned. the money had arrived so quickly! at this moment, he looked at the messages on his phone and could not help but feel melancholic. he had just graduated from university before he obtained the system. like many of his classmates, he also fantasized about the time when he would be able to earn millions a year after he started working. however, after he came out, he realized that reality was thousands of times crueler than his dreams. it was difficult to earn more than ten thousand yuan a month, let alone a million yuan a year. in the end, he felt that he was quite talented when it came to games and chose the path of game leveling. relying on his reputation as a pro gamer, he would take on some orders. although he couldn¡¯t be rich, it was better than him being bullied by some lousy company every day. he could make a living. however, since he needed to make a living, the orders he received were all snatched at a discounted price. as a result, although he had no problem supporting himself and could even eat a good meal occasionally, he didn¡¯t dare to buy or even look at anything. he only used xixi to buy online. the only valuable computer he had was the one he had used in his university days. when he bought it, it was only a few thousand yuan. in an era where hardware was constantly changing, the configuration of this computer was already considered an antique. why did he want to play goose speed? weren¡¯t other games good? did he not understand? no, none of that. the main reason was that he didn¡¯t have the money to change to a better pc. goose speed, on the other hand, required a relatively low hardware configuration, and it was one of the few games that his computer could play. this was not pure love, but a compromise for survival. back then, when zhou tianhao accepted the first order, he had fantasized that one day when he had a lot of money, he would definitely buy the best equipment. he wanted to buy anything, be it the feral 5090ti, the trident, or the prodigal eye! he wanted the best mouse, the clickiest keyboard, and a 360hz screen. he wanted to buy two, one for the main and one for the secondary screen! these were the things he had yearned for the most back then, and all of this required money, a lot of money at that. now, he looked at the text messages on his phone. he knew that he could have everything he wanted! with an excited heart and trembling hands, zhou tianhao unlocked his phone and scrolled through the interface. however, he suddenly felt as if he had lost his mind. he slid around and didn¡¯t know which one to order. looking at the dazzling array of applications, he was at a loss for a moment. he suddenly had so much money that he didn¡¯t know how to spend it. ¡°f*ck, can i not be so useless!¡± zhou tianhao forced himself to calm down. he took a deep breath and looked at the screen again. he first opened his beep website and found his watch list. there was an online channel that he had been paying attention to for a long time. zhou tianhao frequently watched videos posted by the channel host featuring high-end computers costing tens of thousands of yuan. late at night, he would observe the host assembling the latest hardware and running various benchmark tests, which fascinated him. these computers embodied the most advanced technology of mankind and zhou tianhao dreamed of owning one someday. there was once when he braced himself and went to use his own computer to run the benchmark score. in the end, the computer in the video ran more than three million points. he didn¡¯t even have a fraction of the other party¡¯s score. he could only show envy in front of the screen. after watching it for a while, he realized that this digital blogger would not only post videos but also accept orders. in other words, as long as you gave him money, he would be responsible for buying computer accessories, helping you assemble them, and finally sending them to you. of course, zhou tianhao didn¡¯t plan to do that. Chapter 11 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation assembling a computer was something that he wanted to try out personally, even in his dreams. how could he just rely on someone else? therefore, he opened beep station just to see which computer met his needs. after looking through the channel¡¯s past videos, zhou tianhao realized that he could not find the video he was looking for. he wanted a computer that was top-notch in all aspects, but he realized that only one aspect of the build was maximized. the other aspects would be reduced accordingly. for example, if someone wanted to play a game and needed a good graphics card, they would use a top-notch graphics card. however, in contrast, the processor did not need to be too good. some people were focused on work. as long as the processor could handle it, the graphics card did not need to be so advanced. the reason why he knew this was because he knew that different kinds of workloads required different hardware. it was not as simple as buying all the best ones. if they were not matched well, they would not be able to bring out the performance of the hardware. he didn¡¯t know what kind of motherboards and power supplies he needed for top-notch graphics cards, top-tier processors, and so on. that was why he came here to look for answers. after all, professional matters should be left to professionals. if you don¡¯t know, don¡¯t pretend to know. this was something he had learned a long time ago. but in the end, there was not a single video that matched his needs. he could not help but doubt himself. could it be that there was a problem with his assembly idea? hence, he could only click on the channel¡¯s profile picture and send a private message. ¡°hello, brother monkey. i want to know what kind of configuration is required to support the best graphics card and processor.¡± .. brother monkey¡¯s digital studio. brother monkey, who was eating dinner from a takeaway box, suddenly saw that there was a private message. due to the limitations of the screen, only half of the words of the message could be displayed. therefore, he saw ¡®hello, brother monkey. i want to know what kind of¡­¡¯ ¡°f*ck, business?¡± brother monkey, who had not received any assembly orders for nearly a week, suddenly had his eyes lit up. he put down the lunch box and quickly opened the private message. however, the content disappointed him. it was just a question about the configuration. he had originally thought of replying later, but in his professional spirit, he typed a reply. ¡°what is this computer for? if it¡¯s just for gaming, the top-notch graphics card and the top-notch processor would create a conflict. as far as the current market is concerned, no motherboards could be compatible with both top-notch graphics cards and processors.¡± ¡°even if it¡¯s compatible, it won¡¯t be able to display its full performance. you can¡¯t have both fish and bear¡¯s paw, you know? that¡¯ll only be a waste of money.¡± zhou tianhao wanted to look at something else, but he suddenly realized that brother monkey had replied. he responded, ¡°then what should we do? is there really no other way?¡± seeing this, brother monkey didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. he had seen many people like this who didn¡¯t listen to advice. but after thinking about it, he still replied, ¡°how much budget do you have?¡± ¡°100,000.¡± brother monkey glanced over and couldn¡¯t help but get angry. he typed, ¡°you can¡¯t even afford a top-tier graphics card with this little bit of money. do you still want to buy a top-tier processor and a motherboard? step aside¡­¡± before he sent it out, brother monkey suddenly realized that he was a business owner and couldn¡¯t use such an attitude. he quickly deleted the last few words and changed it to, ¡°give up. this bit of money isn¡¯t enough.¡± zhou tianhao frowned and replied, ¡°is 100,000 not enough?¡± puff! in front of the screen, brother monkey had already picked up his lunch box and had just taken a bite. suddenly, he saw the reply and spat a mouthful of rice onto the screen! ¡°what the hell? a hundred thousand? didn¡¯t he just say ten thousand?¡± brother monkey did not bother to grab a tissue paper. instead, he used his finger to wipe the screen to look at the string of numbers that zhou tianhao sent. brother monkey carefully counted under the slightly oily, colorful screen: one, ten, hundred, thousand, brother, father! ¡°my dear father! it really was 100,000! something bad almost happened!¡± brother monkey jumped up and down. he did not expect a sponsor to come today and almost drove him away. at this moment, he took out a few pieces of tissue paper and wiped the screen before typing. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i¡¯m sorry. i saw it wrongly. i thought it was ten thousand! brother, tell me what you want. i¡¯ll arrange everything for you.¡± ¡°you require a high-quality graphics card and processor? i have access to a new, unreleased motherboard that is capable of meeting your demands and comes with a quality guarantee. although it may be a bit pricey, your budget of 100,000 yuan should be sufficient. what are your thoughts on this, brother?¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± zhou tianhao was stunned. looking at the sudden enthusiasm of the other party, he felt amused. he replied, ¡°the price doesn¡¯t matter. it¡¯s just that i want to assemble the machine myself. can you just help me buy the parts?¡± seeing this, brother monkey fell into a dilemma. he also had an account to operate. this kind of assembly machine that he had never seen before would definitely attract a wave of traffic, so he did not want to give up. however, he was afraid that this sponsor would have a bad temper and run away, so he could only say tactfully, ¡°brother, the fact that you¡¯re here means that you¡¯ve seen my videos. we need to post videos of the installation, or else we¡¯ll have to delay the update.¡± ¡°no.¡± zhou tianhao rejected him immediately. he wanted to install the machine himself. what was the point of sending it to him? however, considering that brother monkey was a nice person, zhou tianhao sent another message. ¡°how about this? you send the parts to me, and i¡¯ll start a live broadcast. we¡¯ll connect to the microphone, and you can teach me how to assemble the computer. then, you can make a video and post it?¡± in front of the screen, brother monkey¡¯s eyes lit up. this was also a solution. although it was a little troublesome, the other party was the financial backer! if you can¡¯t satisfy your sponsor¡¯s request, do you still think you can earn money? with this deal alone, he could earn at least 6,000 yuan. this was equivalent to one or two months¡¯ salary of a low-level worker! ¡°alright, we¡¯ll do as you say. how about this? i¡¯ll make a list for you. if you think there¡¯s no problem, send me the address and i¡¯ll deliver it to you!¡± ¡°ok!¡± not long after zhou tianhao replied, brother monkey sent the list over. beast 5090, a fifteenth-generation intel processor, a top-notch motherboard that could not be released due to high cost¡­ all the equipment cost a total of 86,000 yuan! in the past, he wouldn¡¯t even dare to look at it! after confirming that there was no problem, zhou tianhao sent his address. ¡°east guangdong province, d city, xiacheng district xx street xx.¡± when brother monkey saw the address and saw the ¡®eastern guangdong province,¡¯ a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind¡­ ¡°brother, your address is very close to our studio. can we invite you over? we¡¯ll teach you how to install the computer step by step. you can bring it back after it¡¯s assembled. how about that?¡± zhou tianhao was about to say that he didn¡¯t have a car and that it was inconvenient for him to be invited when brother monkey said, ¡°when are you free? we can arrange it. no, i¡¯ll pick you up personally. it¡¯s only a short journey.¡± seeing brother monkey insist so much, zhou tianhao did not hesitate and replied, ¡°alright. can you arrange all the parts tomorrow?¡± as a digital review channel, every time a new accessory appeared in the market, brother monkey would buy it and review it immediately. he had all kinds of accessories, so he replied directly, ¡°no problem, brother. tomorrow it is!¡± ¡°don¡¯t i have to pay a deposit?¡± ¡°there¡¯s no need. you¡¯ve already sent me your address. do you think i don¡¯t believe you?¡± ¡°aren¡¯t you afraid that it¡¯s a fake address?¡± ¡°there¡¯s really no need. i believe in my brother¡¯s character!¡± ¡°alright, add me as a¡­¡± ¡­ after everything was settled, zhou tianhao put down his phone and suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful! it was great to be rich! he could be a big brother anywhere! at this moment, he was suddenly stunned. Chapter 12 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation zhou tianhao looked at his small and run-down apartment and suddenly felt out of place. ¡°what level are you at? why are you still living in such a place?¡± he suddenly had the urge to move out. he felt that it would be unsightly to place a computer worth more than 80,000 yuan in a rented house that cost less than 300 yuan a month. as he thought about it, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh again. he only had 100,000 yuan, and he was already so arrogant? seeing that there was still no news of the bug being fixed, zhou tianhao packed up and prepared to go out for a meal. he had a pc budget of 86,000 yuan, so he still had 14,000 yuan to spend. he could eat whatever he wanted now. the residential area where the rented house was located was very old. it was at least a product of the 90s. it was said that it was about to be demolished and rebuilt. although the building was a little dilapidated, the good thing was that there were many cheap and affordable restaurants around that had been open for more than ten or twenty years. it was already common knowledge that one would be stuffed after eating fried noodles that cost ten yuan. as he was still thinking about the system¡¯s mission, he wanted to use the body modification fluid as soon as possible. therefore, he did not dare to go too far away from the rented house for fear of wasting time. ¡°young man, what do you want to eat?¡± zhou tianhao was a regular customer here. as soon as he entered, an honest uncle greeted him with a smile. ¡°uncle, give me some fried rice noodles. make it slightly spicy. what happened? why are you smiling so much?¡± the uncle was the boss of this shop. zhou tianhao knew him. he was kind but not so enthusiastic. there must have been something that made him happy recently. ¡°did you know that my son got into a big company?¡± the uncle looked at zhou tianhao in surprise and complained, ¡°this brat, i told him to take the civil service exam, but he didn¡¯t. he just wanted to go to some online company, and he even succeeded in the interview.¡± ¡°now, he¡¯s bragging to me every day about how good the company¡¯s benefits are and how he can get a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month.¡± ¡°sigh, i really can¡¯t keep up with the times now. what kind of job can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month? i used to work for a few cents a day. i don¡¯t know if it¡¯s hard work or not. this child really makes me worry.¡± as he spoke, the uncle could no longer suppress his smile. he began to fry the noodles while laughing foolishly. his expression was filled with pride. ¡°oh, then your son is indeed very powerful.¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t go against his conscience. a big company wasn¡¯t a place that ordinary people could enter. they either had the ability or connections. in any case, those who could enter were quite powerful. however, he was hungry and only wanted to eat, so he didn¡¯t want to talk too much. the bug issue hadn¡¯t been settled yet. soon, a bowl of steaming hot fried rice noodles was served to him. perhaps he was too excited, the uncle smiled and asked, ¡°young man, what are you doing now?¡± ¡°what? nothing. i just earned some extra money. i haven¡¯t officially started working yet.¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t want to say much, but the uncle obviously didn¡¯t want to let him go. he said earnestly, ¡°young man, you still have to find a job. if you don¡¯t work hard when you¡¯re young, you won¡¯t have a place to cry when you¡¯re old.¡± ¡°ah, right, right.¡± ¡°then how much can you earn in a day?¡± ¡°100,000.¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1.¡± the uncle was obviously stunned for a moment. it took him a long time to react. what kind of side work could earn 100,000 yuan? was this guy trying to scare him? zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes lit up. this could also generate face slapping points? ¡°young man, i¡¯m just advising you out of kindness. you¡¯d better find a job as soon as possible.¡± ¡°alright, no problem.¡± zhou tianhao was in a good mood after getting a point. even though there was only one, it would add up to his total. seeing zhou tianhao¡¯s helpless look, the uncle decided to ignore him. while he was busy with his customers, zhou tianhao opened the video comments section. at this moment, the comment section was filled with curses accusing him of cheating and being caught by officials. there were also a few people who came out to clarify that he was only banned because of a malicious bug and not because he cheated. although the two were fundamentally different, the result was the same. therefore, he was still scolded in the end. it didn¡¯t make much difference whether he cheated or not. there were even people who scolded him in private messages, but zhou tianhao ignored them. everything he did was to spread the existence of this bug and alert the game officials so that he could complete the system¡¯s mission. he believed that in less than a month, everyone would mysteriously disappear and no one would remember him. the internet was like words written on the beach. as long as there was a new wave, the past would be washed away. one month was enough for the internet to go up and down several times. as for the goose speed, he had already thought of how to deal with the goose speed¡¯s official account. they had clearly made a bet in the comments section. but they were an official media account after all, so it was fine if they didn¡¯t keep their word. they even slandered him and said that he was banned because of a malicious bug. he knew the truth better than anyone else. if he could endure this, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself. of course, he had to wait for the bug to be fixed and get the system¡¯s reward first. this was because he suspected that his next move would very likely endanger his own safety. therefore, he had to ensure that he had the capital to escape if he could not win. soon, zhou tianhao got up and took out his phone. in the end, his phone was frozen and the camera could not be turned on for a long time. in the awkward atmosphere, the uncle smiled and said, ¡°it¡¯s okay. you¡¯re my regular customer. you can give me the same next time.¡± ¡°thank you. don¡¯t worry, i¡¯ll definitely pay you.¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t insist on waiting for his phone to recover. instead, he left the place. seeing that his phone was still not working, zhou tianhao could not help but smash it. he had just said that he had earned 100,000 yuan, but then his phone froze and he couldn¡¯t pay for the meal. this made him feel like he had been slapped in the face. it was no surprise that if one walked by the river, they would wet their shoes. the ancients did not deceive him. ¡°let¡¯s go get a new phone first.¡± zhou tianhao wanted to wait until the system mission was completed. but now that his phone was bricked, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. plans could never keep up with changes. zhou tianhao made up his mind and walked towards the nearby phone shop. soon, he arrived at a big mobile phone store. as soon as he entered, a shop assistant in casual clothes looked over from behind the counter. with just a glance, she could tell that zhou tianhao did not have more than 100 yuan on him. this kind of person was most likely here to ask about things and not to spend money. therefore, when he arrived, the shop assistant sat behind the counter without moving, waiting for him to take the initiative. zhou tianhao was not in a hurry to ask. instead, he looked at the cell phone in the glass cabinet and began to browse around the store. when he walked to the place where the model machines and display machines were placed, he picked up one of the models. the shop assistant suddenly said, ¡°be careful. you¡¯ll have to pay for it if you break it.¡± ¡®i¡¯m just taking a model phone, not a real one. you seem really worried. if i were to take a real one, what would happen¡­¡¯ zhou tianhao acted as if he didn¡¯t understand and held the model phone in his hand while asking, ¡°how much is this phone?¡± ¡°3999 yuan. if you can¡¯t afford it, there are cheaper ones here too. do you want to take a look?¡± the shop assistant seemed a little impatient. ¡°cheap?¡± zhou tianhao was expressionless. he took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked the screen. he placed it gently on the counter and pushed it over. at this moment, the screen lit up with his wallet balance, which he had transferred from his bank card in advance. the shop assistant looked over with a puzzled expression. she saw a very familiar interface on the broken screen. wallet balance: £¤20,088.96 ¡°take out your most expensive one. i want it!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. Chapter 13 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t help but look at the new phone in his hand when he walked out of the store with the latest xx model. ever since xx entered the high-end phone market a few years ago, although it was no longer as affordable as before, their cell phones had improved. not only did they look better but also felt good to the touch. their performance was also powerful. a few years ago, xx might have been inferior to other high-end brands. but now, it was not inferior at all and had even become the trendsetter. ¡°it¡¯s just a little expensive, but everything else is good.¡± zhou tianhao looked at the balance on his phone. he only had 10,000 yuan left. the 64gb + 2tb configuration cost him nearly 10,000 yuan. after obtaining the system, he did not want to suffer anymore. he only wanted to have fun. however, he did not have much money now. 6,000 yuan had to be deducted from the remaining 10,000 yuan to pay for the computer. the remaining 4,000 yuan was his true balance. fortunately, money was not just for show. he had already arranged for the computer and phone that he longed for. there was nothing that he particularly wanted in the short term. soon after, he rushed home with a new phone. when he passed by the fried noodles shop, zhou tianhao went up and scanned the code as he said, ¡°uncle, i¡¯m paying you the money now!¡± the middle-aged man had just walked out from inside. he nodded after hearing his words and said, ¡°alright! i knew you were honest.¡± being honest now was not a good thing¡­ zhou tianhao laughed in his heart and prepared to pay. when the uncle saw that he was using his new phone, he asked curiously, ¡°young man, you¡¯ve changed your phone so quickly? this phone is probably worth two to three thousand yuan, right?¡± zhou tianhao pondered for two seconds and said, ¡°i¡¯ll tell you tomorrow.¡± uncle: ¡°???¡± ¡­ it was already two o¡¯clock in the afternoon when he returned home. however, zhou tianhao still did not receive any news of the bug being fixed. the system was helping him monitor this. as long as the mission was incomplete, the bug definitely had not been fixed. considering that the face slapping points would only be refreshed tomorrow, zhou tianhao waited until tomorrow to do the follow-up actions to avoid wasting face slapping points. the new computer hadn¡¯t arrived yet. he didn¡¯t want to play pc games now, nor could he play much on his laptop. but he could play mobile games. just like pc games, it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t like those mobile games. he just couldn¡¯t play it even if he wanted to. playing a little bit of casual games was like holding a hand warmer because his phone would get so hot. it was fine in winter, but it was torturous during summer. but it was different now. with his current phone configuration, he could play any mobile game on the market, even at the highest settings. he opened the app store and searched for the most popular mobile games. while waiting for the game to download, he got a call. zhou tianhao¡¯s contact list was empty. he only remembered his and his family¡¯s phone numbers. he could only guess the other calls. he had never encountered any phone scams with this method. as for the few friends he had, they only communicated through v-messages and never called. he glanced at the number and knew that it was his sister. his younger sister¡¯s name was zhou xinlei. she was four years younger than him and had just started university this year. ¡°hello.¡± ¡°brother, have you found a job?¡± ¡°no, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°can¡¯t i look for you for nothing? you¡¯re my biological brother after all.¡± ¡°if you have something to say, say it quickly.¡± even though zhou tianhao knew that his sister was very beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, in his eyes, it was always the same: nothing. when they were together, they would beat each other up when they needed to, and they would never be soft-hearted. ¡°tsk, did you buy the cyberpunk 2077? if you buy it, lend me your platform account to play with.¡± zhou tianhao was stunned. he didn¡¯t expect his sister to come to borrow the game. it was only then that he suddenly remembered how his parents had been scolding his younger sister, who was banned from playing games for a year in her third year of high school. ¡°do you only play games every day?¡± ¡°what kind of future do you have if you keep playing like this?¡± ¡°if you continue using my computer for games, i will have to take it away.¡± thinking of this, zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the past. and the main reason why his sister became like this was actually him¡­ because one day, when his parents were talking about him, they said, ¡°you only know how to play games every day. look at your sister. she¡¯s four years younger than you, but she¡¯s so self-aware. every time she comes back, she¡¯ll take the initiative to read and learn. look at you, you only know how to turn on the computer every day¡­¡± then, when his parents were not at home one day, he took a game controller and walked into his sister¡¯s room. ever since then, zhou xinlei¡¯s academic performance had plummeted. it was not until her parents forced her to give away all her gaming consoles in her third year of high school that she finally settled down and started studying hard. perhaps it was because playing games could delay one¡¯s studies, but it could indeed make one smarter. after working hard for a year in their third year of high school, he and his sister were admitted to a good university. this made his parents extremely happy. they had almost thought that both of their kids were useless, but they had actually performed well. at that time, zhou tianhao was also quite happy. he felt that he did not have to feel guilty for delaying his sister¡¯s studies. because of all that, he had almost forgotten that zhou xinlei was a gaming addict. zhou tianhao replied, ¡°i haven¡¯t bought one yet, but if you want me to buy one, i¡¯ll buy one. how much is the game? let me think¡­¡± ¡°you really didn¡¯t buy it?¡± on the other end of the phone, zhou xinlei sounded a little doubtful. ¡®cyberpunk 2077¡¯ was a hot topic in the gaming circle. would zhou tianhao not buy it? why didn¡¯t she think about who had led her into this trap? hearing this, zhou tianhao and zhou xinlei did not know what to do. who was zhou tianhao? zhou xinlei¡¯s elder brother was born with the ability to overwhelm her in all aspects. as soon as zhou xinlei opened her mouth, zhou tianhao knew what she was thinking. he went straight to the point and said, ¡°aren¡¯t you talking nonsense?¡± ¡°how much did the computer you bought in university cost? i bought mine for a few thousand yuan four years ago and have been using it until now. it¡¯s an old antique. i want to buy the game, but can i even play it? did you leave your brain at home as soon as you left high school? you can¡¯t even understand this?¡± zhou tianhao was angry at the mention of this. he had wanted to change his computer before graduation. however, after he told his father about it, he was immediately scolded. then, he turned around and asked zhou xinlei to buy a laptop, ¡°buy one for yourself!¡± this made him understand that he was no longer at the age where he could get whatever he wanted. he had to rely on himself to buy whatever he wanted. ¡°oh, i didn¡¯t expect that. then i won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± zhou xinlei, who was already used to being crushed, did not have the slightest intention to retort and was about to hang up the phone. seeing that zhou xinlei had admitted defeat, zhou tianhao stopped and said, ¡°i was just asking you. if you really want to play, i¡¯ll buy it for you now.¡± the person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and said nonchalantly, ¡°forget it. are you that kind?¡± ¡°it¡¯s fine if you didn¡¯t buy it. it¡¯s not urgent anyway.¡± just as zhou xinlei was about to hang up the phone, she heard a notification. puzzled, she turned to look at her phone screen. it was a message from zhou tianhao. the content was that he had transferred 2,000 yuan via a v-messenger! zhou xinlei: ¡°???¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. after the slap and the transfer, zhou tianhao finally showed his elder brother side. ¡°play less games, you have to study in college. don¡¯t just spend all your time playing games, you know?¡± ¡°i remember that the game cost more than 1,000 yuan. take the rest as pocket money.¡± ¡°if you learn how to spend in advance, i¡¯ll break your legs!¡± as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. he was still very concerned about this sister who had become worrisome because of him¡­ ¡°i know, i know, i know, so annoying!¡± after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone. looking at the remaining 2,000 yuan, he felt poverty beckoning to him again. money was always so easily spent. ¡­ Chapter 14 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation song jiang university. in the female dormitory. zhou xinlei was stunned when she saw the 2,000 yuan in her phone wallet. where did zhou tianhao get the money from? turning around just like that? 2,000 yuan was not a small amount for a fresh graduate. she knew that her brother was doing power leveling for other people. she knew a little about this. the price of ordinary orders was low and could only sustain food and clothing. most of the high-priced orders were for professional players. for example, there was a monthly package that only allowed players to play with their sponsors for a month. they could not play with anyone else and had to be on standby at any time. she couldn¡¯t help but send zhou tianhao a message. ¡°you¡¯re not being kept, are you?¡± [1 message has been recalled.] ¡°brother, did you get a big order?¡± brother: ¡°???¡± ¡°get lost!¡± ¡°alright.¡± seeing that zhou tianhao was straightforward, she was relieved. he would only give a long speech when he was lying or scolding her. as for where the money came from, she believed that zhou tianhao obtained it in a legitimate way. she believed that with her brother¡¯s ability, it might be a little difficult for her to get a lot of money, but a little money should not be a problem. ever since she was young, she had always admired zhou tianhao from the bottom of her heart, especially when it came to games. it was as if he was a cheat and could understand all kinds of games. she had asked her classmate before. her classmate took a month to clear the same game, whereas zhou tianhao did it in a week. she was shocked. as for herself¡­ zhou tianhao gave her a very accurate evaluation. she was a noob who enjoyed playing the game. however, this didn¡¯t bother her as she cherished the virtual world. occasionally, she would spend an entire day immersed in the game without any specific objective. her aspiration was to one day create a similar world using her own abilities. therefore, her major in university was game design. if she couldn¡¯t defeat others, then she would set the rules! ¡­ in the rented house. zhou tianhao had already downloaded a few mobile games. he spent the entire afternoon immersed in the world of mobile games. however, the experience was not as good as he had imagined. at first, he found it quite novel. however, when he started playing, he realized that it was completely different from what he had imagined. he was accustomed to using the keyboard controller and struggled with using only two fingers on the screen. despite being a beginner, he relied on his own instincts and was able to defeat his opponents. however, he felt like he was trapped in a cage, unable to fully utilize his skills. this feeling was a little painful for him. after thinking about it for a while, he quit the mobile game. he didn¡¯t want to continue torturing himself. of course, he didn¡¯t think that mobile games were trash. he respected mobile gamers. everyone had different habits, so he just had to choose what he liked. there was no need to force him. it was already late. considering that he still had to go to brother monkey studio tomorrow to livestream the installation of the computer, zhou tianhao decided to rest early. zhou tianhao opened the last bucket of pickled cabbage noodles in the house and poured hot water into it. he brought it to the computer and started playing cards while eating. at ten o¡¯clock in the evening, he finished washing up after losing all his beans. he lay in bed and recalled his experience today. he could not help but sigh. the title, the system, and the face slapping lottery were all things that he did not dare to think about in the past. now that he thought about it, it still felt like a dream. it felt like everything was so unreal. ¡°damn it, am i really dreaming?¡± zhou tianhao felt his heart palpitating as he opened the face slapping lottery system. even though he did not have enough face slapping points to draw the lottery, when he saw the gaudy lottery interface that was full of disadvantages, his heart instantly calmed down. he was also a system holder, he really was! the anxiety in his heart dissipated instantly. zhou tianhao closed his eyes and entered a peaceful dream¡­ the next day, zhou tianhao woke up at 6 am. he felt refreshed. he had never slept so soundly before. after washing up, zhou tianhao went to the fried noodles shop. the fried noodles shop was for breakfast and lunch, so it opened early. ¡°young man, you¡¯re up so early. what do you want to eat?¡± the uncle greeted him warmly when he saw him. ¡°i want some rice noodles with pork offal.¡± he needed to drink fluids early in the morning, so zhou tianhao ordered one with soup. ¡°alright, wait a moment.¡± the middle-aged man nodded and immediately got busy. soon, he placed a bowl of steaming hot pork offal rice noodles in front of zhou tianhao. ¡°enjoy, young man.¡± ¡°thank you.¡± zhou tianhao picked up the disposable bamboo chopsticks on the table and held them in his palm. he rubbed the table and the packaging fell off. he rubbed the bamboo sticks together to remove the thorns before holding them in his hands to enjoy the delicious food. the savory and delicious pork offal, the smooth and delicate rice noodles, and the soup base that was overflowing with the fragrance of scallions, he ate the noodles and meat happily. soon, he finished the pork offal and noodles and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. zhou tianhao stood up in satisfaction and walked to the counter. zhou tianhao scanned the qr code with his phone and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. he turned to the uncle and asked. ¡°uncle, do you still remember the question from yesterday?¡± the middle-aged man was stunned. ¡°are you talking about how much your phone costs?¡± zhou tianhao nodded.¡± i can answer you now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± the uncle was confused. he could not understand what this boy in front of him was trying to do. why did he have to wait a day to answer such a question? ¡®is there something wrong with your brain?¡¯ zhou tianhao didn¡¯t care about the uncle¡¯s pitying gaze. he continued, ¡°i remember you said yesterday that my phone only costs two to three thousand yuan?¡± ¡°yeah, why?¡± zhou tianhao took out a receipt from his pocket and slammed it on the counter. ¡°what is this?¡± the uncle picked it up in confusion and saw the price of a mobile phone on the receipt: 10899 yuan. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± zhou tianhao smiled and left the shop. ¡°hey! your receipt!¡± the uncle came back to his senses and waved the receipt in his hand, but zhou tianhao in the distance seemed to not hear him and quickly disappeared around the corner. seeing that he had left, the uncle took the receipt and complained, ¡°what kind of person is he?¡± after saying that, he could not help but look at the price on the receipt and muttered, ¡°damn, are cell phones so expensive now?¡± ¡°this f*cking expensive phone. could it be that he was telling the truth when he said that he earned 100,000 yuan?¡± thinking of this, the uncle looked outside. the streets in the early morning were cold and quiet. there were only a few people walking around. where was the boy¡¯s figure? suddenly, the uncle¡¯s body trembled and goosebumps appeared. he quickly threw the receipt into the trash can and spat again. he cursed, ¡°it¡¯s so early in the morning. what bad luck!¡± .. on the way back, zhou tianhao bought some snacks. when he returned home, it was already 7:30 in the morning. at this moment, brother monkey sent a message. ¡°brother, we¡¯ll be there soon. we¡¯ll arrive around nine o¡¯clock.¡± ¡°ok.¡± after replying, zhou tianhao opened his goose speed chat group. he wanted to maximize the benefits of this live broadcast. .. Chapter 15 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation zhou tianhao was quite troubled about obtaining face slapping points. he did not have any connections or resources, so it was very difficult for him to obtain a large amount of face slapping points. although he could still earn points like he did from zhou xinlei and the uncle from the fried noodles shop, the efficiency was so low that it was almost negligible. therefore, if he wanted to quickly obtain face slapping points, he had to gather them in places with many people. zhou tianhao felt that he had a lot of ¡®kids¡¯ in the group. the goose speed racers group was a group of 2,000 people created by him and a few veterans. now, the group was almost full. however, many of them were ¡®zombies¡¯. they had either never spoken before or had spoken before but had cut off contact. initially, the group was active in removing these inactive members in order to ensure that only active members remained. however, they soon quit, leaving only about 500 people in the group of nearly 2,000. his goal this time was to pull these 500 people into the live broadcast room and reap their face slapping points. although he wasn¡¯t the group leader, he was quite popular because of his good looks and skills. even if he couldn¡¯t bring all the active members here, there should be at least three to four hundred. that was not a small number either. it would take more than 400 days to farm the same amount from the uncle¡­ he opened the group chat and clicked on the chat box. as soon as he typed in the words ¡®hahaha,¡¯ the following words appeared: ¡®daddy is here¡¯, ¡®filial piety to father¡¯, ¡®filial piety to dad¡¯, and other commonly used words¡­ he chose the first option, typed a few more words, and clicked send. ¡°hahaha, daddy is here. good morning, kids!¡± the moment zhou tianhao appeared, the group became lively. after all, this god of racing had just disappeared from the chat yesterday. he had appeared so early today, giving people the feeling that something interesting was about to happen. ¡°god of racing, are you okay? don¡¯t scare me! this is the first time i¡¯ve seen you wake up earlier than me!¡± ¡°it¡¯s bad. the car number is gone, and there¡¯s something wrong with the person. if you have something to say, say it quickly. i¡­¡± ¡°don¡¯t be discouraged, god of racing. you can play with my account as you like. really, you don¡¯t have to pay for how long you play.¡± ¡°??? your abacus beads are gone, and you¡¯re still calculating?¡± .. the members of the group were already used to the way zhou tianhao spoke. if they weren¡¯t used to it, they would be kicked out¡­ it couldn¡¯t be helped. everyone was counting on him to help them. goose speed would often give out some very difficult storyline missions. if one passed them, they would receive a lot of rewards. the difficulty of the mission in the early stages was still okay, but it would become more difficult as it progressed. a single mistake would cause the mission to fail. however, they had struggled to survive. in zhou tianhao¡¯s hands, it was as easy as lifting his hand. up until now, no plot mission could stump him. other than that, they would also ask zhou tianhao to help them in the ranking competition, but he would usually charge a very low fee. this was a special discount that zhou tianhao gave to his kids. the benefits were right in front of them, so everyone in the group was happy to see it happen. this also led to his high prestige in the group. seeing that there were still people in the group early in the morning, zhou tianhao didn¡¯t waste any time and typed. ¡°i have good news for you. i upgraded my computer!¡± ¡°really?¡± ¡°god, what computer did you upgrade to? an expensive one? what kind?¡± ¡°god of racing, don¡¯t be fooled. nowadays, computers are very tricky, especially graphics cards.¡± ¡°i believe that the god of racing isn¡¯t that stupid, but this thing is indeed very deceptive.¡± zhou tianhao. ¡°i bought it from beep station¡¯s host, brother monkey. i¡¯ve been following this person for a long time. he should be quite reliable.¡± ¡°brother monkey? that¡¯s true. a friend of mine bought a setup from him. the quality and after-sales service are very good. racing god probably didn¡¯t step on sh*t.¡± ¡°that¡¯s good. a racing god is a racing god. he has a clear strategy. if it were me, i would have taken a trial-and-error approach. i wouldn¡¯t have thought of professionals.¡± ¡°yes, i¡¯ve been meaning to replace my computer for a while, but i¡¯ve been hesitant. now i feel confident in what to do.¡± ¡°by the way, god of racing, what¡¯s the configuration of your computer? how much did it cost?¡± zhou tianhao smiled and replied, ¡°not much, 80,000.¡± the group instantly fell silent for a moment. then, it was flooded with messages. some of the people who were hiding came out. ¡°???¡± ¡°??????¡± ¡°????¡± .. ¡°god of racing, are you kidding me? you don¡¯t even need 80,000 yuan to buy a cheaper server!¡± ¡°god of racing, although i admit that your skills are awesome, i really don¡¯t believe this.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. using an 80,000 yuan computer to play a lousy racing game is no longer using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. it¡¯s like using a nuclear bomb to kill mosquitoes!¡± ¡°the god of racing is bragging too much!¡± ¡°god of racing, did you get agitated? you must have been drinking, right? your account was blocked yesterday, and you were so angry that you drank all night?¡± ¡°i think it¡¯s possible. otherwise, i wouldn¡¯t be able to brag like this in my normal state.¡± ¡°you don¡¯t believe me, right? just you wait.¡± seeing that the group members did not believe him, zhou tianhao left after saying that, leaving everyone in the group looking at each other. ¡°the racing god is so crazy. did he really buy an 80,000 yuan computer?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know. anyway, i don¡¯t trust that. i¡¯m using a computer now that i spent 20,000 yuan to buy. i can play almost any game. isn¡¯t it a waste of money to buy an 80,000 yuan computer? do you have too much money to burn?¡± ¡°maybe the god of racing is a rich second-generation heir?¡± ¡°you¡¯ve just joined the group not long ago, so you don¡¯t know the situation. he recently graduated and is still living in a rented house.¡± ¡°he told you that?¡± ¡°no. at that time, he posted a photo of the surrounding scene in the group chat. he said that he had just graduated. which rich second-generation heir would live in a rented house with peeling walls?¡± ¡°so, what the racing god said was fake?¡± ¡°definitely. it¡¯s impossible for this to be true.¡± ¡°then how dare he say such crazy words?¡± ¡°when i get drunk, i¡¯m better at bragging than him. the racing god is considered restrained.¡± ¡°i see.¡± ¡­ ¡°brother, here, here.¡± zhou tianhao stood by the roadside. a 200,000 yuan domestic suv came up to him. the driver¡¯s seat opened, and brother monkey got out of the car. he had specially dressed up today, afraid that he would look unpresentable in front of his sponsor. however, when he saw zhou tianhao wearing casual clothes, he understood that he was an unconventional person. he was relieved. ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t waste any time. he got into the car and sat in the back. ¡°alright.¡± brother monkey knew that for rich people like him, time was money. it was normal for them to be in a hurry. he quickly got into the car and stepped on the accelerator. he brought this sponsor to his studio. along the way, brother monkey saw that zhou tianhao was impassive. he thought that zhou tianhao was a cold and aloof person, so he did not speak. however, after a while, he felt that this was not good. after all, he was his financial backer. if he did not speak, would he feel that he was being ignored and eventually cause the business to fail? thinking of this, brother monkey felt that it was better to find a topic to talk about. he thought about it and prepared to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere. unexpectedly, before he could speak, the sponsor¡¯s singing voice suddenly came from the back row. ¡°brother monkey, brother monkey, you are really amazing¡­¡± brother monkey: ¡°?¡± why did he suddenly start singing? for a moment, the image of the cold and aloof sponsor in brother monkey¡¯s heart collapsed¡­ ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± the singing in the car stopped abruptly. zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± ¡­ Chapter 16 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation in the car, brother monkey relaxed after realizing that his sponsor wasn¡¯t as cold as he had imagined. zhou tianhao also realized that the famous internet persona was a wise man. even though brother monkey had hundreds of thousands of fans, he did not put on airs at all. but after all, the two had just met each other, so they could only chat without saying a word. soon, they arrived at the destination. ¡°follow me.¡± brother monkey parked his car in front of an office building and brought zhou tianhao upstairs. they took the elevator and walked around the corner before arriving at brother monkey¡¯s studio. ¡°are you all ready?¡± brother monkey brought zhou tianhao into the studio. at this moment, there were two or three people in the studio setting up the live broadcast equipment. beside them was a pile of packaged accessories. ¡°it¡¯s almost done.¡± an employee who had multiple responsibilities adjusted the lights and moved the camera to the center of the screen with monkey digital in the background. then, he said. ¡°i¡¯m ready. we can start the live broadcast at any time.¡± ¡°alright, you can send a message to inform your fans.¡± after saying that, brother monkey turned around and looked at zhou tianhao. he sized him up and said, ¡°you¡¯re so handsome, so you don¡¯t need to touch up your makeup. however, i need to put on some powder.¡± ¡°no problem.¡± zhou tianhao was a customer now. although he was a racing god, he couldn¡¯t really treat himself as a host. soon, everything was ready. it was eleven in the morning. the live broadcast was expected to last for an hour. ¡°everything is ready. begin the live broadcast.¡± after the staff finished speaking, brother monkey, who was dressed neatly and had his makeup touched up, smiled at the camera and said, ¡°welcome to monkey digital. today, our studio has welcomed a big shot¡­¡± at first, zhou tianhao found it strange. it was a live broadcast, and there should be very few people at the beginning. why was there an opening speech? however, when he recalled the video of brother monkey he had seen before, he realized that it was all material. the live broadcast would be edited into a video and posted online. after brother monkey finished his introduction, zhou tianhao walked into the camera. it would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t nervous during his first live broadcast, but he still smiled and greeted the camera. at this moment, many viewers had already entered the live broadcast room because of brother monkey¡¯s post. seeing zhou tianhao, many people exclaimed. ¡°wow, so handsome! his facial features are so well-defined, as if they were carved out!¡± ¡°brother monkey, can you move aside? you¡¯re affecting our view of the handsome guest!¡± ¡°brother monkey, is this your master? it was said that tang sanzang was like this, a person who had a face like jade.¡± ¡°hahaha, don¡¯t talk nonsense. although tang sanzang is also handsome, his temperament is elegant and easy-going. this handsome man¡¯s temperament is very resolute.¡± ¡°i agree. i feel that if he were my boyfriend, i would be easily manipulated!¡± ¡°upstairs, tell me in detail¡­¡± .. brother monkey¡¯s mouth twitched as he looked at the comments. he felt that it was a loss to invite zhou tianhao. if the audience couldn¡¯t see him in the future, would he lose fans? in contrast, zhou tianhao did not look at the comments. he was used to being handsome. since he was only here to experience the installation of computers, he did not introduce himself. he only explained why he wanted to buy such an expensive computer, and the rest was controlled by brother monkey. ¡°wow, tall and handsome!¡± ¡°buying a computer that costs more than 80,000 yuan just like that is simply inhumane!¡± ¡°damn it, it¡¯s fine if he¡¯s handsome, but he¡¯s also so rich. i¡¯m afraid he¡¯s being supported by a rich woman.¡± [user 154876] has been muted by the administrator for 24 hours. reason: he couldn¡¯t bear to see others doing well. ¡°there are all kinds of people. so sour. you can¡¯t stand the fact that others are handsome and rich, right?¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. you can tell at a glance that this kind of person is not good-looking or rich.¡± ¡°look at this maggot-like thing, and then look at him. it¡¯s like the difference between cloud and mud.¡± the comments on the bullet screen did not affect the live broadcast. after monkey finished introducing all the parts, it was time for the installation. during this time, zhou tianhao used his phone to share the live broadcast room in the group. the people in the group could enter directly by clicking the link. at the same time, he sent a message. ¡°i was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t believe that it was me in the live broadcast room, so i would make this gesture later.¡± after saying that, the group members saw zhou tianhao send an emoticon. it was a chimpanzee with its arms crossed in front of its chest. its expression was the classic smile of a black boxer. everyone in the group was shocked when they saw zhou tianhao¡¯s post. ¡°f*ck, god of racing, are you serious?¡± ¡°it can¡¯t be, right? did you really buy a computer for 80,000 yuan?¡± ¡°is the god of racing rich or something?¡± ¡°why do i feel like the racing god is fooling us?¡± ¡°is that link a scam?¡± ¡°no, i believe in the god of racing.¡± zhou tianhao did not care about the discussion in the group. he did not expect everyone to come anyway. ¡°next, we invite our guests to experience the installation of machines. we invite you to come to our studio for the fun of the installation of machines.¡± zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t wait any longer. he walked to the workbench and looked at the neatly stacked parts in front of him. he couldn¡¯t help but rub his hands. ¡°first of all, let¡¯s take out today¡¯s computer case and use the latest prodigal eye¡­¡± following brother monkey¡¯s instructions, zhou tianhao took out the parts from the box. after placing the computer case, he took out the top-notch motherboards that brother monkey had promised him. ¡°what is this motherboard? why haven¡¯t i seen it before?¡± ¡°why is such an expensive computer using a low-brand motherboard?¡± ¡°it¡¯s simply a waste of god¡¯s gifts! no, i can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± when the bullet comments saw this unknown motherboard, they thought that zhou tianhao didn¡¯t understand it or that he was trying to save money on motherboards. a few of them even started to mock him. ¡°what if you have money but no brains? a high-quality computer cannot function without a good motherboard. i¡¯m dying of laughter.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. it seems that being rich doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯re smart.¡± ¡°i feel that this computer might not be his. perhaps he was asked to purchase it by someone else, or it was provided by brother monkey.¡± many people agreed with the comments on the bullet screen. after all, no one had seen this type of motherboard before. however, the two people in the live broadcast room acted as if they didn¡¯t see it. they just sized up the new motherboard. the material was sturdy and the texture was thick. it gave people the feeling that it could withstand anything, no matter what load they threw at it. with a tearing sound, zhou tianhao tore off the protective film of the memory stick cover. the process was very stressful. at this moment, brother monkey asked, ¡°is nobody familiar with this type of motherboard?¡± ¡°let me tell you, this is a motherboard that has never been released to the market. of course, it¡¯s not due to any quality issues, but rather because it performs exceptionally well, driving up production costs and making mass production unfeasible.¡± ¡°this year, two components in the tech industry have reached their peak performance ¨C the 5090 graphics card and the 15th generation spider web processor. however, there are currently no motherboards available on the market that are capable of supporting both components simultaneously.¡± ¡°therefore, in an attempt to push the boundaries of performance, a motherboard was designed. but unfortunately, it was not able to be produced on a large scale in the end.¡± as soon as these words were said, all the bullet screens felt their faces burning. they had never thought that this motherboard would be so awesome! ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. Chapter 17 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when the applause in his mind stopped, zhou tianhao realized that he had gained more than 2,000 face slapping points. two lottery chances were in his hands just like that! he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. a famous channel was indeed different. the audience in the live streaming room could easily beat him several times, and it was under the circumstances that he was led by the rhythm and the popularity. when introducing the accessories, brother monkey didn¡¯t introduce the main board in detail. he only summarized it as ¡°enough to carry all the accessories¡±. in addition, the beast 5090 and the 15th generation spider web processor were too eye-catching, which led to the bullet screen misjudging the motherboard and slapping their faces. there would be no more such opportunities. zhou tianhao started to immerse himself in the assembly. after fixing the main board, he took out four small boxes one by one. inside the boxes were 64 gb memory sticks. he wanted to create 256 gb of ultra high-speed memory. he tore off the protective film on one of them, aimed it at the card slot, and inserted it into it. with a click, it was ready. he repeated the same process for the remaining three. click. click. click. zhou tianhao felt a sense of relief. he turned around and picked up the two solid-state drives. he opened the package and took out a solid-state hard drive that was about the size of a memory stick. then, he opened the cover on the motherboard with a screwdriver and unscrewed the screw from the socket. finally, he inserted the drive horizontally into the slot, tightened the screw, and closed the cover. then he repeated the same action for the other one. zhou tianhao was immersed in the world of the machine, and the bullet screen was also very fascinated. ¡°it¡¯s so cool. although i might not be able to afford it in my lifetime, i just love watching it.¡± ¡°yeah, it¡¯s so relaxing. i really envy people who can put these top-notch accessories in by themselves.¡± ¡°sob, sob, sob, sob. i¡¯ll die without regrets when i can pretend to be one myself.¡± ¡°these are the highest achievements of human science and technology. although i am not a scientist and don¡¯t understand any principles, it¡¯s still very desirable to be able to touch them with my own hands!¡± ¡°it¡¯s a pity that we can only watch. not only did big brother buy it, but he also personally installed it and will use it himself. ahhhh, why is the difference between people so big?¡± ¡°no, i think i have to have a way of life. i want to sell my kidney. does anyone have a channel?¡± ¡°no, really don¡¯t. the black market won¡¯t give you that much money at all. they won¡¯t give you a price before you sell it.¡± ¡°why is the person above so aware? have you tried it?¡± ¡°no, i once had a dream. i even dared to sacrifice myself for it¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± [user 16549] has been muted by the administrator. reason: spreading improper values. [user 15457] has been muted by the administrator. reason: this conversation is too wild. [user 45786] was permanently muted by the administrator: he would eat anything. ¡­ after installing the memory stick and hard disk, it was the turn of the two heavyweight components in the computer ¨C the graphics card and the processor. when he opened the packaging of the beast 5090, not only him, but the comments also started to sigh. the luster of steel, the shape of a knife, the texture of heavy metal, and the four turbine cooling fans were all touching the nerves of the men present. ¡°how f*cking domineering!¡± ¡°you really poked my weak spot!¡± ¡°he¡¯s too f*cking handsome! powerful performance, domineering appearance, and the well-deserved king of graphics cards. is this the beast 5090?¡± ¡°ridiculous! it¡¯s emitting an unparalleled charm from both inside and outside!¡± ¡°ahhhh! i really want it, but i can¡¯t afford it!¡± although zhou tianhao¡¯s emotions were not as exaggerated as the bullet screen, it was close enough. he carefully tore off the protective film on the graphics card, then carefully held it with both hands and inserted the card slot into the motherboard. with a click, the graphics card was inserted. zhou tianhao picked up the screwdriver and screwed the graphics card in place. the weight of the graphics card was very high, so it needed to be fixed with screws. otherwise, the card slot would be deformed over time. next, it was the installation of the 15th-generation spider web processor. this part was very simple because of xiaobai¡¯s design. he just needed to take out the processor, aim it at the corners of the same shape, and press the buckle down. after that, he had to apply the silicon grease. according to the processor¡¯s water-cooling, these were all very simple. when he connected the power source, the computer was completely assembled. however, the cables were very messy at the moment and needed to be integrated with plastic straps. brother monkey hired their professional staff for this part. after the lines were sorted out, everything looked much more beautiful. with the case and the cover, the computer worth 86,000 yuan would be completely assembled! zhou tianhao let out a long breath. after all, it was a live broadcast. he would be lying if he said he wasn¡¯t nervous at all. however, it was also very satisfying. as a gamer, it was hard to find anything more satisfying than installing a top-notch computer that belonged to him. very soon, brother monkey started to install the operating system on the computer. the moment he plugged in the power and pressed the power button, all the fans in the entire case began to whir. monkey inserted the usb drive and loaded the system. the current reading speed was quite fast. a brand new system was installed in two to three minutes. after everything was set, he pressed the power button again. at this moment, the connected screen instantly lit up. in less than two seconds, the system desktop appeared on the screen. the computer turned on in a second. no software had been downloaded on the bare desktop. ¡°next is the running segment that we are familiar with.¡± ¡°actually, i¡¯m more curious than you guys. with the beast 5090 and 15th-gen processor and top-quality motherboard, what benchmark score can this computer achieve?¡± ¡°i¡¯ll start a guessing game later. everyone can guess how many points you can run.¡± after saying that, brother monkey gestured to the administrator of the live broadcast room to open the contest that he had prepared earlier. the question was, ¡°what benchmark score can this computer achieve?¡± a: 2 million, 3 million b: 3 million, 5 million c: 5 million, 8 million d: 8 million, 10 million during the preparation period, brother monkey had already downloaded the benchmark software on zhou tianhao¡¯s computer. ¡°the software has been downloaded and the contest has been launched. everyone can start voting now.¡± after brother monkey finished speaking, a small guessing icon appeared on his cell phone. he could click on it to participate in the guessing game. as soon as the guessing game started, many comments started to analyze which one to choose. ¡°although this computer is very powerful, i¡¯ve seen a lot of videos. the configuration of the beast 5090 is only about five million, and its processor is not bad, so this one is at most six or seven million.¡± ¡°you have so many words, i¡¯ll follow you!¡± ¡°not necessarily. this computer is equipped with such a powerful motherboard, so it can display even stronger performance. i think eight million is no problem, or even eight and a half million.¡± ¡°that makes sense. then i¡¯ll follow you!¡± as a result, the gamblers were divided into two groups, focusing on c and d. there were also a few people who chose a and b. it was obvious that they had voted with their toenails and did not care about the results of the contest at all. ¡°it¡¯s starting!¡± while the statistics were being calculated, brother monkey also started to run the scores. all kinds of data kept appearing on the screen. when it came to the video card, it generated a special 3d scene. the detection program would judge the score based on the performance of the graphics card in the scene. after the scenario exited, the running was almost over. the next moment, under everyone¡¯s gaze, a number popped up on the screen, instantly stunning everyone. ¡°f*ck! this is really ridiculous!¡± ¡­ Chapter 18 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation on the screen was a string of extremely eye-catching numbers: 12,567,000 points. a total of 12 million points left everyone dumbfounded! ¡°f*ck! what the hell are these numbers?¡± ¡°is there a problem? there must be a problem, right? how could there be more than 10,000,000-point score?¡± ¡°this kind of score can only be obtained by the servers used by enterprises. it¡¯s impossible. there must be a problem somewhere!¡± what made the bullet comments even more inconceivable was the string of small words under the 10 million figure. ¡°congratulations, your computer has surpassed 100% of the computers in the world!¡± when they noticed this line of words, everyone in the bullet comments was dumbfounded! ¡°f*ck, this is ridiculous! this is the first time i¡¯ve seen this sentence reach 100%. didn¡¯t it always show 99%?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. since ancient times, isn¡¯t that what tu yile said? i remember that when i used a computer assembled from scrap metal to score, it also said that i exceeded 99%! how could it show 100%?¡± ¡°what the hell, am i witnessing history?¡± the comments were all shocked. zhou tianhao was also stunned. could it really reach 100%? ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t believe it and thought that something was wrong. after all, although a computer worth more than 80,000 yuan was expensive and had powerful performance, it was not to the point where it could defeat every other computer in the world. he was not that arrogant. however, when he saw that his face slapping points had increased by more than 3,000, he had no choice but to believe that this was true. beside him, brother monkey saw his confusion and explained with a smile, ¡°as i said before, this type of motherboard has never been released to the market. it can bring out the full performance of the graphics card and processor.¡± ¡°currently, there aren¡¯t any motherboards on the market that can be compatible with both 5090 and 15th-generation processors, but this one is. therefore, you¡¯ve created an unprecedented record, surpassing everyone else and achieving an unprecedented 100% success rate.¡± ¡°moreover, this benchmark software has been categorized before. one is for personal computers, and the other is for industrial computers.¡± ¡°that is to say, within the scope of the personal computer, the computer in your hand is indeed the best in the world.¡± as a professional digital up master, brother monkey naturally wouldn¡¯t speak carelessly. if he could say it, there must be evidence. this also meant that zhou tianhao¡¯s computer really surpassed 100% of the world¡¯s computers! the bullet screen exploded! more than 10 million points! surpassed 100% of computers! ¡°awesome!¡± ¡°is this the power of money?¡± ¡°ridiculous! in the past, i thought that 80,000 yuan was nothing, but now i realize that it¡¯s really a lot. it¡¯s so much that buying a computer worth 80,000 yuan can actually surpass everyone!¡± ¡°may i know how much your monthly salary is? is 80,000 yuan nothing for you?¡± ¡°3,000? why?¡± ¡°great.¡± ¡°i think this is the benefit of spending money wisely. eighty thousand dollars is all spent on performance. for example, the streamers i¡¯ve seen spend two to three hundred thousand dollars on a computer, but most of the money is spent on a fancy case. the performance is only comparable to a computer that costs thirty to forty thousand dollars.¡± ¡°don¡¯t look at those. it¡¯s useless. the person who sold him the computer knows that the streamer doesn¡¯t lack money. a computer costs 100,000 yuan and only performs worth 98,000 yuan. there¡¯s no cost-performance ratio to speak of.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. a certain fish has a streamer with a new computer that costs more than 100,000 yuan. in the end, he only has 60 frames in lol.¡± ¡°i understand. in the future, when you get a computer, you have to learn from others and spend your money in the right place.¡± ¡°damn it, do you still have this motherboard? can you give me one? i also want this motherboard.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. i can still afford 80,000 yuan. do you still have this motherboard?¡± brother monkey was caught off guard by the sudden change in the bullet comments. one second, they were praising the computer, and the next second, they were asking if he had any more motherboards. brother monkey could only smile and explain, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i only have one of these motherboards with me at the moment. i really don¡¯t have any more.¡± ¡°but don¡¯t worry. with the current technology, i believe that it won¡¯t be long before similar motherboards are available.¡± however, brother monkey¡¯s explanation did not calm anyone. ¡°why do i feel like you guys are acting?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. logically speaking, since this kind of motherboard can be shown, it should be mass-produced. otherwise, it¡¯s a trade secret. how could it appear in the livestream?¡± ¡°that makes sense. i¡¯ll report it first and wait for the live broadcast room to be blocked.¡± ¡°i¡¯ve also reported it. brother monkey, if you accidentally expose other people¡¯s trade secrets, hurry up and stop streaming. otherwise, you¡¯ll be in trouble before you can salvage the situation.¡± ¡°yes, this kind of streamer is so powerful that ordinary people can¡¯t do it. only big companies have this ability. brother monkey, don¡¯t make a mistake.¡± ¡°so, this buyer is also a fake?¡± ¡°it¡¯s possible. no, it must be. i suspect that the scoring software is fake. how can there really be a computer that¡¯s 100% in percentile score?¡± ¡°feelings are all part of the script?¡± ¡°brother monkey, you¡¯ve learned how to lie? no, i don¡¯t accept it. i¡¯m shutting it down.¡± ¡°me too.¡± the direction of public opinion was suddenly one-sided, giving brother monkey a slap in the face. he quickly closed the microphone and shouted in the workgroup. ¡°mod, what are you doing?¡± ¡°sorry, i went to the toilet just now.¡± the manager in the toilet rushed into the live broadcast room without even lifting his pants and started a massacre. [user 467816] has been permanently banned. reason: a few rounds of nonsense. [user 19737] has been permanently banned. reason: blind because they talk nonsense. [user 47399] has been permanently banned. reason: don¡¯t come to talk nonsense. .. after a wave of people were banned, the live broadcast room returned to stability, but the popularity also fell by more than half. the remaining bullet comments were less hostile, but they were still unconvinced. ¡°you guys have to show evidence, right? i keep feeling that you guys are acting. besides, in the past, only one person came to brother monkey¡¯s live broadcast.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. isn¡¯t brother monkey streaming to bring goods? i just want to buy a motherboard. why are you deliberately hanging on to us?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. there¡¯s no reason to chase away consumers. brother monkey, aren¡¯t you afraid that the merchants will sue you until you go bankrupt?¡± when brother monkey saw this, he helplessly emphasized again, ¡°i told you, this was a coincidence. i happened to get this motherboard, and this gentleman came to buy a computer from me, so i gave it to him. there really isn¡¯t a second one.¡± after saying that, brother monkey saw that they did not believe him. he immediately took out his phone and placed it in front of the camera. he showed the chat history between him and zhou tianhao. he scrolled up and down and said, ¡°you don¡¯t believe me, do you? then take a look for yourself. where did the script come from? where did the actors come from? i¡¯m just making some money. do i still have to go to the sky and pluck the moon for you?¡± brother monkey¡¯s saliva flew everywhere as he spoke. suddenly, he felt his arm being grabbed by a hand. Chapter 19 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation he turned around and saw zhou tianhao turn off the microphone. he looked at him and shook his head. ¡°before you talk about evidence, you have to talk about logic. everything is based on evidence. they said that we are pretending. why are you in such a hurry to prove that we are not?¡± ¡°what? right.¡± brother monkey quickly put away his phone and smiled apologetically. ¡°it was a mistake. my problem is that i was a little anxious.¡± zhou tianhao looked at the time and reminded, ¡°it¡¯s almost time for the live broadcast to end. we can end it now. this kind of thing will be forgotten very soon.¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll turn off the live broadcast immediately.¡± brother monkey was not in the mood to broadcast anymore. he turned on the microphone and said, ¡°ladies and gentlemen, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s live broadcast. thank you for watching.¡± when the bullet screen saw that brother monkey was going to close the live broadcast room, it immediately clamored. ¡°what¡¯s wrong? don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re too scared to confront me?¡± ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. i used to think that brother monkey was an honest person, but i didn¡¯t expect him to do this kind of thing.¡± ¡°so be it. i¡¯ve finally figured out the whole story. brother monkey revealed the company¡¯s secrets for the sake of attention. he got himself a top-notch computer and hired a scapegoat. this way, he can brag about setting a record for the best benchmark in the world. it¡¯s not surprising coming from brother monkey. he¡¯s really a monkey demon!¡± ¡°i see. listening to you is better than reading ten years of books! i¡¯ve understood it!¡± brother monkey did not care about the doubts and slander on the bullet screen. instead, he planned to close the live broadcast room. however, at this moment, zhou tianhao leaned over and gestured for brother monkey to wait. this time, he personally said, ¡°i originally thought that you would only be spouting nonsense, but now that you¡¯ve presented your so-called evidence, i think it¡¯s best to refute now.¡± then, under brother monkey¡¯s confused gaze, zhou tianhao took out his phone and opened the v-messenger. under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, he clicked on the friend verification column. it was brother monkey¡¯s id, and the time was yesterday. they had just added him as a friend. this proved that the two of them had only met yesterday. how could there be any acting deal? ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± this time, zhou tianhao earned more than 1,000 face slapping points. however, this was not enough. the bullet comments could still be refuted. ¡°who knows if you guys prepared the show in advance? this kind of thing is too easy to disguise. don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re handsome and have a magnetic voice, we¡¯ll believe you easily!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. unless you say a few more words.¡± ¡°¡­¡± .. as soon as zhou tianhao opened his mouth, many people commented that he had a nice voice and was handsome. however, zhou tianhao ignored it. he looked at the bullet screen and said, ¡°since you said that this is easy to disguise, then let me show you if this is easy to disguise.¡± zhou tianhao smiled and looked at brother monkey. ¡°we agreed on a price of 86,000 yuan, right?¡± ¡°what? yes, that¡¯s right.¡± brother monkey was completely dumbfounded. he didn¡¯t allow him to refute just now, so why was he doing it personally now? ¡®didn¡¯t you say that there was no evidence?¡¯ zhou tianhao knew what brother monkey was thinking, but he had no choice. this was a matter of face slapping points. if brother monkey was the one to smack his face, he wouldn¡¯t be able to harvest the leeks. it could be seen from the slap in the face just now that brother monkey¡¯s livestream still had some potential. although it was not as popular as it had been in the beginning, it should not be a problem for him to harvest one or two more lottery chances. ¡°then let¡¯s complete this transaction in front of everyone.¡± as soon as zhou tianhao spoke, brother monkey suddenly understood. he slapped his leg and said, ¡°f*ck! wonderful!¡± that was more than 80,000 yuan. ordinary people could not take it out. using this method to complete the transaction could be used to prove the authenticity of the transaction. brother monkey raised a concern, ¡°while 80,000 yuan is a significant amount, i still run a studio, so spending the money is not a concern. however, it may not be sufficient to prove that we are not actors.¡± ¡°as long as someone says that we are colluding, the result will not change.¡± brother monkey hadn¡¯t shut the microphone during this time. the comments immediately became arrogant after he finished speaking. ¡°you even said that you¡¯re not actors. if you¡¯re not, you must have a way to prove it. but now, you can¡¯t even think of a way, and you still say that you¡¯re not fake?¡± ¡°to be fair, that¡¯s true. it seems like you guys can¡¯t wash yourself clean.¡± ¡°the hammer has been hammered. there¡¯s no turning back.¡± what did he mean by boosting the morale of others and reducing his own prestige? however, brother monkey was not considered one of his own¡­ zhou tianhao said helplessly, ¡°since i said it, there must be a way.¡± ¡°what is it?¡± brother monkey felt dizzy and didn¡¯t know what to think. ¡°just give me the evidence.¡± ¡°evidence?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. first of all, the bullet comments say that you¡¯re doing this for the sake of attention. then, can you please show everyone the data of your past live broadcasts?¡± when brother monkey heard this, he quickly took out his laptop and opened the background of the live broadcast room to check the past live broadcast data. sure enough, brother monkey¡¯s face was filled with excitement when he saw it. he quickly picked up the computer and placed the screen on the camera. he said confidently, ¡°today¡¯s popularity is a little higher, nearly 100,000 viewers. in the past, if you look at it yourself, most of the live stream would have 80,000 to 90,000 viewers. it did increase today, but not by much. so if you think that i spent more than 80,000 yuan just to increase my popularity by 10,000 to 20,000, then i¡¯ll get the admins to ban all of you right now. will you believe me then? at most, i won¡¯t broadcast in the future!¡± ¡°popularity can be increased with money. but spending 80,000 to 90,000 yuan for popularity, it will at least fetch you a million viewers. even if i¡¯m an idiot, i wouldn¡¯t spend 80,000 yuan like this.¡± after brother monkey finished speaking, zhou tianhao said, ¡°your words are crude, but you¡¯re not. is there anyone who refutes you? if there¡¯s no one, then we win the argument.¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± this time, he had earned more than 500 face slapping points. ¡°next, you guys said that i¡¯m brother monkey¡¯s sidekick, right?¡± the bullet comments were silent from the start, but the popularity remained high. it was obvious that everyone was waiting to see. zhou tianhao said, ¡°someone said that brother monkey wanted me to be the scapegoat because he was afraid that trade secrets would be leaked. then this kind of thing is the easiest to handle.¡± ¡°ordinary people like us may not have the corresponding channels, but large companies are extremely sensitive to such matters. if it involves business, they will definitely investigate it clearly. therefore, as long as we report the matter to the platform, we will definitely be able to verify it.¡± the comments were still silent, but silence meant that they agreed with zhou tianhao¡¯s decision. ¡°coincidentally, i know the official staff of beep station. i¡¯ll send him a message now.¡± ¡°no. i can¡¯t let you do it.¡± zhou tianhao rejected brother monkey¡¯s suggestion. ¡°if i let you come, it will only make the water more muddy. every live stream has a supervisor. you just have to call the supervisor.¡± ¡°but supervisors usually don¡¯t appear easily.¡± zhou tianhao pondered for a moment. ¡°why don¡¯t you try lighting a cigarette?¡± brother monkey: ¡°???¡± .. Chapter 20 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°why don¡¯t you try lighting a cigarette?¡± at this moment, brother monkey seemed to realize that his sponsor was not simple. this ability and reaction speed were definitely not something that ordinary people could possess. nowadays, all the major platforms strictly prohibit streamers from showing any objectionable images in their live broadcast rooms. they would be given a warning if it was light, and the live broadcast rooms would be banned if it was serious. even though he could find the officials, zhou tianhao was right. it was useless for him to go on stage personally. they could only find people who everyone agreed with to deal with this matter. and the supervisors who wandered around the live streaming rooms were the best candidates! after thinking through all of this, brother monkey was filled with admiration for zhou tianhao. as long as the officials proved his innocence, his fans and popularity in the live stream would definitely soar in the future! as expected, the live stream was still silent, but its popularity increased. zhou tianhao felt as if he could see mouths harder than rocks waiting for him to pry them open¡­ ¡°i¡¯ll go get the cigarettes now!¡± brother monkey reacted and quickly ran to the staff area. he didn¡¯t smoke himself, but two of his employees were chain smokers. there must be cigarettes in the work area. he ran over and found a pack of cigarettes near the ashtray next to the computer. before the employees could react, he snatched the cigarettes and ran back to the camera. ¡°here it is. the cigarettes are here.¡± ¡°light it.¡± ¡°alright.¡± brother monkey took the cigarette and lighter and lit it up. even though he didn¡¯t smoke, he still pretended to be an old dude smoking pipe and had a look of enjoyment on his face. however, as soon as he took a puff, he immediately started coughing violently. ¡°f*ck! it¡¯s choking me! second-hand smoke is better¡­¡± brother monkey¡¯s actions had already been broadcast through the livestream. now, all they had to do was wait for the arrival of the supervisor. sure enough, less than a minute after the smoking brother monkey appeared on the screen, a red eye-catching word immediately appeared on the bullet screen. ¡°warning, no smoking is allowed in the live broadcast room. this warning will deduct 2 points from the live broadcast room. if you have less than 5 points, the live broadcast room will be banned.¡± every streamer¡¯s live broadcast room had a fixed number of points, just like driving license points. if the host violated the rules, their points would be deducted. in serious cases, supervisors could even directly deduct all their points and ban the live broadcast room. smoking was the lowest punishment. ¡°i¡¯m here, supervisor. i have something to ask you. it involves copyright.¡± when brother monkey saw the supervisor appear, he directly extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can to express his attitude. the supervisor was stunned. however, when he heard that the matter involved copyright, he immediately took it seriously. the company might lose money on copyright. ¡°what is it?¡± as soon as the supervisor spoke, brother monkey immediately told him everything. ¡°you want me to be a witness?¡± after a long time, the supervisor finally understood the whole story. this matter involved the commercial secrets of the motherboards. if brother monkey really caused trouble, he would definitely deal with it seriously. it was fine if he didn¡¯t know, but if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t let it go. unless he didn¡¯t want to work anymore. the job of a supervisor was quite good. the salary was high, the benefits were good, and most importantly, he had the power of life and death. this power of life and death meant that if he saw something indescribable in a live broadcast room, he could feast his eyes on it and then ban the live broadcast room, so that others couldn¡¯t see it. it was a satisfying aspect of his job. if he didn¡¯t get a better job, he wouldn¡¯t want to lose it. therefore, the supervisor typed. ¡°alright. send me the model of the motherboard. i¡¯ll check it out.¡± ¡°no problem.¡± brother monkey opened the backstage and found the official news channel. he sent the model of the motherboards over. as for the outcome, he did not have to worry at all. he knew this better than anyone else. if zhou tianhao hadn¡¯t asked him to prove it himself, he wouldn¡¯t have to deal with this matter through the supervisor. therefore, after the supervisor received the news, he alerted his superior and sent the model of the motherboards that had not yet been released to the market. the higher-ups attached great importance to this. those who could manufacture motherboards were basically large companies. such companies were powerful, and the price they had to bear if something went wrong was very high. his superior quickly found his superior and sent the model number of the motherboard over. soon, the supervisor received a reply. ¡°this is a failed product. it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s confidential or not.¡± upon seeing this, the supervisor heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the live broadcast room again. he typed. ¡°there¡¯s no problem with the motherboard. there¡¯s no copyright dispute.¡± zhou tianhao immediately asked, ¡°you guys were screaming so loudly just now. what about now? can someone show me some evidence to refute the supervisor?¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡­ ¡°the last step, i¡¯ll transfer the money to you now.¡± then, under everyone¡¯s gaze, zhou tianhao scanned brother monkey¡¯s qr code and entered 86000 yuan. there was a beep. enter the password. the sound of gold coins falling into the wallet rang out. a familiar voice came from brother monkey¡¯s phone. ¡°86,000 yuan received on wechat. thank you.¡± at this point, the situation had completely reversed. no one suspected that he and brother monkey were staging a play. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± the seemingly quiet comments earned zhou tianhao more than 3,000 face slapping points. adding on the six thousand plus points from before, it was exactly ten thousand face slapping points, a total of ten lottery chances! now that things had come to this, there was no need to prove anything else. the supervisor had spoken, and the bullet screen had agreed. now that the supervisor was on their side, it was very clear whether the matter was true or not. ¡°f*ck, the supervisor is also dragging things out. this is all part of your show!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, it¡¯s just a script!¡± ¡°how can there be such a coincidence? it must be fake!¡± a few bullet comments were still stubborn, but they could no longer affect anyone. the matter was settled, and the live broadcast ended. brother monkey turned off the live broadcast. ¡°brother, should i send you back now?¡± brother monkey turned off his computer and looked at the money on his phone. he was in a particularly good mood. ¡°no need. i can take a taxi back myself. i won¡¯t trouble you.¡± zhou tianhao rejected brother monkey¡¯s good intentions. after all, he had received such a huge amount of face slapping points from the viewers in the livestream. he did not want to trouble them anymore. ¡°how can that do?¡± brother monkey wanted to insist that he would drive him home, but zhou tianhao rejected him again. next, brother monkey packed the computer tightly and tied a rope around it so that he could carry it. originally, brother monkey had offered to send it back. but zhou tianhao didn¡¯t want to do that. it was better for him to personally escort such an expensive computer. it couldn¡¯t be helped. this was the first big treasure in his life. he had to take good care of it. with two monitors in his left hand and a computer in his right, zhou tianhao got into a cab and left monkey¡¯s studio. before he left, brother monkey had planned to give him a new set of peripheral equipment, but he rejected it. he didn¡¯t want to leave any regrets for this computer. he had also bought the best peripheral equipment, so there was a high chance that he wouldn¡¯t be able to use what brother monkey gave him. he refused to waste it. at three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, zhou tianhao opened the door of the rented house with his arm and walked in with his top-notch computer that was worth 80,000 yuan. at this moment, his eyes were filled with light. ¡­ Chapter 21 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when he got home, zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t wait to dismantle the old computer. ¡°it has been hard on you for so many years. thank you for helping me survive those countless days and nights¡­¡± zhou tianhao stroked the frame of the old screen as if he were looking at his lover. the next moment, he resolutely stuffed the old mainframe and screen into the cardboard box he brought back, sealed it, and threw it into the corner of the room. then, he turned to look at the new computer, his eyes filled with passion. the computer was installed and brought back. he only needed to connect the monitor¡¯s circuit, plug in the power supply, and the network cable. then, he could use it directly. although he didn¡¯t want monkey king¡¯s peripheral, he wanted a shelf that could support the main screen and the secondary screen. he set up the shelf and installed two 360hz screens. the main screen was placed normally, and the secondary screen was placed vertically. he placed the main computer on, plugged in the cable, network cable, and power supply, turned on the power switch with a click, and pressed the main computer button. buzz ~ in the quiet rented house, a buzzing sound rang out, like a calm lake being hit by a big rock, creating a circle of ripples. zhou tianhao revealed a resolute smile. the screen lit up, and it turned on in less than a second. he placed his hand on the mouse and clicked to enter the desktop. suddenly, there was a click from behind the door. the screen instantly went off, and the buzzing sound from the main computer was like a car turning off its engine, returning to silence. zhou tianhao looked at the door with a stunned expression. the position of the door, the air switch, and the power switch were currently in a closed state. ¡°¡­did it trip?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly reacted and hid under the table. he stared at the computer and said, ¡°f*ck, did the computer suddenly crash?¡± ¡°80,000 yuan won¡¯t go down the drain, right?¡± fortunately, after taking a closer look, he did not smell anything or see anything unusual. only then did he relax. after coming out from under the table, zhou tianhao remembered that high-power appliances were not allowed in this apartment. if the power exceeded 1200w, it would automatically trip. his computer was equipped with many top-notch accessories. in order to maintain the operation of the accessories, the power of the power supply reached 1800w. in other words, he couldn¡¯t use this computer in this room. ¡°f*ck, i should have changed places first.¡± zhou tianhao¡¯s mouth twitched. it was too torturous to buy a new computer and not be able to use it. since he couldn¡¯t use the new computer, zhou tianhao decided to lie on the bed and spend the 10,000 face slapping points he had earned today. zhou tianhao turned on the wheel and looked at the poor lighting effects of the lottery. he had no time to complain and started the lottery. in his heart, he silently recited the lottery draw, and the face slapping points automatically decreased by 1000. the wheel then began to spin. zhou tianhao remembered that it would take about three seconds. three. two. one. the needle slowly slowed down and finally stopped above the fog beside the money bag. the fog that was pointed at quickly dissipated, revealing the hidden area. it was an image formed by a simple brush stroke. there was a wrench, a keyboard, a screwdriver, and even a knife and a gun. below it were four big words. [random skill] ¡°random skill?¡± before zhou tianhao could react, a thread-bound book without a cover appeared in front of him and opened automatically. the pages flipped to a random page and stopped. he took a closer look and saw the title of the book: [combat] ¡°just this?¡± he didn¡¯t see anything, but just as he moved his gaze down and before the first line of words entered his eyes, his mind shook. it was as if he had entered another world, just like the code space he had entered yesterday when he used the eye of disorder. however, this space was empty and there was nothing¡­ just as he was thinking about this, zhou tianhao suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him. how should he describe it? eight feet tall and handsome? just as he was sighing over his accurate description, before he could observe the situation carefully, the figure had already walked in front of him with the book and threw it at him. his tone was cold and domineering. ¡°eat it!¡± zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± ¡­ when zhou tianhao came back to his senses, he saw the dark ceiling of the rented apartment. he could not help but squeeze out two tears. who knew what he had experienced in that space! that figure was the devil instructor. he had actually eaten the book! and it was page by page. each page represented a fighting technique. every time he finished a page, the demonic instructor would pull him to train crazily, never stopping, until he finished the entire book. fortunately, the paper he ate was not completely useless. instead, it provided him with mental and physical support so that he would not collapse. it could even help him better comprehend the essence of each fighting technique. although the effect was obvious, he did not want to remember how long he had been inside. ¡°damn it! i don¡¯t dare to continue anymore.¡± zhou tianhao looked at the glowing lottery interface in front of him and panicked. it could only be said that it was indeed worthy of being a face slapping lottery draw. you thought that you would be given something as simple and direct as a money bag, but in the end, you were immediately slapped in the face and given a good beating¡­ now, he had no choice but to smoke the cigarette. while his mind was in a mess, he stood up and tried out all kinds of fighting techniques. the sound of his fists reverberated in the room. zhou tianhao¡¯s movements were smooth and fluid, and his moves were perfect. ¡°my body is a little weak. it seems that i have to wait until the mission is completed, and the body modification fluid arrives before i can unleash its true power.¡± if one¡¯s physical fitness was not good enough, it was useless no matter how strong one¡¯s moves were. he had the pages of the book to support him in the space, but in reality, he did not have such a strong physique. after experiencing the benefits, zhou tianhao was filled with confidence again. ¡°f*ck, continue to draw. who¡¯s afraid of my grandson!¡± zhou tianhao gathered his courage and went back to his bed to continue the lottery. now that there were six regions unlocked, the probability of drawing the same region again was very low. he still had nine chances to draw the lottery. it was impossible for him to win all of them. moreover, he had already won once this time. it was impossible for him to win the same one the next time. zhou tianhao calmed down and thought, ¡°start the lottery draw!¡± the face slapping points automatically decreased by 1,000, leaving 8,000 points. the wheel began to spin again¡­ three seconds later. hiss¨C zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes widened as he took a deep breath. he gritted his teeth and raised his chin. he pointed at the lottery interface with his unyielding nostrils. he extended his right hand and made a friendly international gesture. in the next moment, he fell into darkness and entered a mysterious space. in the empty space, the figure that seemed to have been there all along was stunned when he saw zhou tianhao. however, almost instantly, his gaze became fixed like a hungry wolf. at the same time, he took out a new book from his back and revealed a strange smile. ¡°looks like you haven¡¯t had enough.¡± zhou tianhao was speechless. ¡­ Chapter 22 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when he reappeared in the rented apartment, zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes were lifeless. his mind was made of paste, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse. he ate another book. he didn¡¯t even have any water to drink. what kind of f*cking system is this!? zhou tianhao suddenly sat up from his bed. he was not going to draw anymore. he was going to draw with a hammer. this was ridiculous! he had decided! he wanted revenge! he wanted to get the body modification fluid before drawing the lottery. his physical fitness in the space was the same as in reality. when he finished modifying his body and had enough strength, he would definitely give that demonic instructor a good beating! after closing the lottery interface, zhou tianhao could not help but complain, ¡°how long has it been? why hasn¡¯t the bug been fixed yet?¡± zhou tianhao didn¡¯t understand. the bug should have spread already. why was there no news? could it be that the officials were not going to care about this matter? damn it, it was fine that he was slandering him for violating the rules, but he was not allowed to complete the system mission, right? zhou tianhao was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. the officials actually dared to make things difficult for him! he decided to implement the plan he had thought of earlier. that was to spread the bug out completely! however, the new computer could not be used. zhou tianhao had no choice but to bring out the old computer. ¡°good brother, fight with me again!¡± zhou tianhao caressed the old computer and plugged it into the new display. when everything was ready, zhou tianhao started the livestream. due to the fact that the video was still a little popular, there would be people coming into the live-streaming room from time to time to eat melons. therefore, as soon as he started the livestream, there would be bullet comments. ¡°eh? streamer, you actually dare to livestream? are you really not afraid of death?¡± ¡°streamer, how does it feel to be slapped in the face? are you comfortable?¡± ¡°it¡¯s still the official¡¯s face smacking. i¡¯m so happy. this is the first time i¡¯ve seen someone so stubborn.¡± as soon as the broadcast started, zhou tianhao saw a screen full of weird comments. seeing that he didn¡¯t speak, the bullet screen mocked him again. ¡°a bug in a game? can¡¯t afford it?¡± ¡°the streamer¡¯s game section is set up wrongly. it¡¯s not the online game section, but the bug section.¡± ¡°host, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? is there a bug?¡± at this moment, zhou tianhao had already turned on the goose flying car. ¡°no. how can you still have the face to play games? you don¡¯t even have an account, so don¡¯t come and ruin the environment of the flying car, okay?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. it¡¯s because of a stinky fish like you that the game environment is so bad. hurry up and crawl. don¡¯t log in and unload the game!¡± ¡°i don¡¯t understand. what kind of person would think of playing a game with a bug? is this kind of person really worthy of playing games?¡± the bullet comments started to get intense, but he remained calm. when goose flying car successfully logged in and the game interface appeared, he said calmly, ¡°do you want to learn how to block this bug?¡± ¡°if you want to learn, i can teach you!¡± as soon as he said this, the bullet screen instantly fell silent. in zhou tianhao¡¯s mind, there was a dense sound of smacking. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. he had earned more than 200 face slapping points in one go! in other words, when he said this, more than 200 people were immediately tempted! they wanted to know how this bug was created! these face slapping points caught the bullet screen off guard! however, there were still many comments: ¡°online gaming players all like to pursue fairness. who is like you, thinking of using underhanded methods every day, wanting to rely on bugs and cheats to play games?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. if you can¡¯t afford it, just say it. we online game players don¡¯t welcome you!¡± however, as soon as they said this, those who wanted to know how to stop the bug started to refute them. ¡°i¡¯m sorry. i¡¯ve been an online gamer for ten years. i like it, i like to cheat. i like to bug.¡± ¡°sorry, i like it very much. what does fairness have to do with me?¡± ¡°sorry. do you think you can represent all online gamers? do you know why i wrote the tao te ching? because i¡¯m willing.¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. zhou tianhao was amused. he could actually gain face slapping points from the bullet screen. this wave directly gave him more than 100 face slapping points! he only had five to six thousand popularity points now. the ratio of 1 was already a slap to the faces of all the viewers in the live-streaming room. seeing that his popularity didn¡¯t seem to be rising, zhou tianhao didn¡¯t waste any more time and started a game. the map was ghost shadow. he wanted to reproduce yesterday¡¯s bug! it was the same process as yesterday. zhou tianhao used the initial account to enter the match. he started the starting station and clapped behind the stage. finally, he appeared on the same starting line as the other players. ¡°3.¡± ¡°2.¡± ¡°1.¡± ¡°go!¡± when the time was up, zhou tianhao drove the car out. unsurprisingly, in front of other modified luxury cars, he was still knocked sideways and left far behind. however, without the interference of other players, he could start running the map more smoothly. this was the map where he had set the first record, so he was naturally very familiar with it. running around it was as familiar as going home. every curve, turn, drift, and exit was done to the extreme by him. all the details were captured by him with just one starter car! the bullet comments could not help but exclaim in amazement. ¡°although it¡¯s unfair for him to win the game due to a bug, this method of running the map is really f*cking enjoyable!¡± ¡°there must be an extreme operation behind such a smooth running method. if i didn¡¯t get banned because of the bug, the streamer might have become popular.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. that¡¯s right. why wouldn¡¯t a streamer be strong if he had such skills? why did he have to take the crooked path? he¡¯s really blind!¡± ¡°not going to the professional arena to make a name for yourself, but staying here and being a small streamer?¡± at this moment, the comments on the bullet screen suddenly angered some of the comments. ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. use your brain when you speak. is the internet a place where you can rely on technology to become popular? if it weren¡¯t for that video of his, we wouldn¡¯t even know where we were. no one asked about the ten years of being a racing god, but once the bug was discovered, the whole world knew about it. this was the internet.¡± ¡°f*ck! there¡¯s actually a pop-up comment about the soberness of the human world!¡± ¡°the truth! this is how the internet works!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± just as he was about to get rid of the bug, he suddenly received more than 300 face slapping points. he was also stunned. after reading the bullet comments, he understood why. however, he was preparing to teach the bullet screen how to block this bug, so he did not respond to this matter. moreover, it was not appropriate to respond. his original intention was not for traffic, but to get back his account that had been mistakenly blocked. if he responded, it would go against his original intention. while the comments were getting heated, zhou tianhao started to approach turn 19. ¡°watch closely. i¡¯ll tell you how this bug was created.¡± the bullet comments quieted down and focused on the screen. zhou tianhao explained as he operated. ¡°look at the time. one minute and twenty-nine seconds. as long as you¡¯re not particularly trash, you¡¯ll arrive at this position. you don¡¯t have to worry about anything else after that. you can just let go of the keyboard with both hands and attack directly!¡± as soon as he finished speaking, the starting car on the screen crashed into the outer wall of turn 19 at 1 minute and 30 seconds. it went straight through and rushed out of the track! in an instant, the bullet screen was in an uproar! ¡­ Chapter 23 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the moment the bug reappeared, the bullet screen immediately became excited! ¡°f*ck! awesome!¡± ¡°you can actually do this!¡± ¡°666! what kind of operation is this!? ¡°damn it, i seem to have opened the door to a new world. can games be played like this?¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. as the popularity of the livestream increased, more and more people came. in an instant, some of the bullet comments that were still insisting on not using the bug were instantly slapped in the face. zhou tianhao earned more than 1,000 face slapping points. the reason was simple. they didn¡¯t know how the bug was created at first, and they didn¡¯t know how to use the bug. at this time, if they saw someone using a bug, they would be extremely angry. however, this kind of anger also contained jealousy. the specific expression was that they could not get it but someone else did! they didn¡¯t care if the game environment was fair or not. they only cared if it was fair to themselves. therefore, when zhou tianhao used the bug himself, he would be jealous and angry at them for being unfair. however, once he shared the bug, this unfairness would be transferred to others, and they would become fair. therefore, these people would immediately wag their tails and come back to lick his boots. however, the jealousy of online gamers was not something that had happened for a day or two. this was not something that zhou tianhao could change. he could not do it. he only had one goal in doing this, and that was to use the mentality of these players to spread the bug! if they knew how to use the bug, these players would definitely experiment and use it in the game. although this was unfair to the victim players, his livestream would definitely spread. when the time came, whoever was jealous would be able to block the bug and transfer the injustice to someone else. this way, he would definitely be able to attract the attention of the officials and get the bug fixed, thus completing the system¡¯s mission. after that, zhou tianhao turned off the livestream and left the rest to time. sure enough, in less than ten minutes, zhou tianhao saw a video. the latest bug in goose flying car! ignore collision!¡± the content was about the entire process of him fixing the bug, and there were even subtitles. the moment the video appeared, it had dozens of views. moreover, every time it refreshed, the number of views would increase. in the beginning, it would be ten or twenty views, and later on, it would increase by tens or hundreds. after an hour, zhou tianhao realized that more similar videos had appeared. some people took the original video and added a watermark before posting it again, but most of them personally tried it out before recording and editing it. there were even a small number of players who were proficient in programming who created scripts. the script could make the racing car in the game run according to a fixed program, which was easier to find bugs than human operation. however, this method was easy to be detected by the system as a cheat program, resulting in a ban. the risk was relatively high. zhou tianhao looked at the comments and saw that the video up had packaged the script and sold it for five yuan each to fool new players who did not know anything. ¡°i selflessly offer you for profit?¡± zhou tianhao was so angry that he laughed. in short, the netizens¡¯ ability to spread the news was very impressive. in less than two hours, he could already see no less than 40 to 50 similar videos. he believed that with this speed of spread, this bug would soon be widely known and eventually be noticed by the officials and fixed. in order to verify this idea, zhou tianhao went to the goose flying car¡¯s official forum. usually, if something happened in the game, there would definitely be a reaction here. sure enough, as soon as he logged in with his side account, he saw a post pinned at the top. [goose flying car¡¯s new map reveals a shocking bug] ¡°you¡¯re quite efficient.¡± zhou tianhao clicked on it and saw a video and text explaining the bug clearly. below the post was a group of players¡¯ comments. ¡°damn it, i was running well, but i suddenly went from first to second!¡± ¡°me too. when will this bug be fixed?¡± ¡°i also want to know.¡± zhou tianhao agreed and continued to farm. ¡°i¡¯ll say it here today. if this bug isn¡¯t fixed, i¡¯m quitting the game!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. i have the technology and the financial resources. i just spent 20,000 yuan, but i can¡¯t outrun the bug. if you don¡¯t give the officials an explanation, i¡¯ll make a fuss at your headquarters today.¡± ¡°i heard that this bug appeared yesterday, but it hasn¡¯t been fixed yet. these officials are all good-for-nothings, right? it actually made a bug stay for so long!¡± ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. there¡¯s even a new set of clothes today. there¡¯s a bug and you don¡¯t fix it. you only know how to earn money. i think this game will die sooner or later!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. even new games have bugs.¡± ¡­ the official discussion was so intense that zhou tianhao was completely relieved. the bug was fixed. he exited the computer, took down the old computer, and packed it up. zhou tianhao happened to hear shouts coming from downstairs. ¡°recover old computers, old phones, old fridges, old gas tanks¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°i¡¯ve transferred it. it¡¯s 800 yuan.¡± ¡°alright. i got it. thank you.¡± zhou tianhao, who had reprogrammed the old computer and sold it, waved goodbye to the computer before returning to his rented apartment. all he had to do was wait for the bug to be fixed. once he got the body modification fluid, he would immediately draw a lottery to kill his way back! .. goose flying car studio. ¡°emergency! a major bug has appeared in the new map, ghost shadow perplexing track!¡± ¡°the appearance of the bug has caused many players to have their experience destroyed. their online time has been greatly reduced, and at the same time, they have lost 80% of their profits today.¡± the sudden emergency news forced the employees who were supposed to be getting off work to return to their posts. the loss of two million caused the leaders of all departments of goose flying car to hold an emergency meeting. the general manager of goose flying car, luo wei, sat in the main seat with a serious expression. the meeting officially began when all the department leaders arrived. luo wei was the first to speak. his face was gloomy as he said, ¡°i heard that this bug was discovered yesterday. is it true?¡± the leaders looked at each other in confusion. they had just learned of the existence of this bug. ¡°since you don¡¯t know, there must be a technical problem with the game itself.¡± after luo wei finished speaking, he turned to look at a tall man sitting upright on his left. he was wearing a blue suit that was neat and tidy, and there were not even many wrinkles on his body. what was even more impressive was that he had a head of thick hair. coupled with his face shape and facial features, it was said that half of the women who had seen him had fallen for him. ¡°shen lei, your technical department will be responsible for this.¡± the man who was called didn¡¯t have much of an expression on his face. it was obvious that he didn¡¯t know anything about this. however, the fact was that his technical department couldn¡¯t get away with it. he could only nod and say, ¡°alright.¡± luo wei could not understand shen lei, so he did not say anything else. ¡°meeting dismissed.¡± Chapter 24 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation hearing that the meeting was over, the leaders of the various departments were relieved. however, they were still far from getting off work, because there was still a lot of work to do with this bug. the public relations department wanted to make an announcement. the technical department urgently fixed the bug. the ghost shadow perplexing track map would also be suspended. the other departments also had to cooperate accordingly. in the technical department, shen lei swiped open the door and walked in. at this moment, the programmers who were about to clock out all looked over. ¡°how¡¯s the bug handling going?¡± before shen lei went to the meeting, he had told them to figure out the specifics of the bug. ¡°it¡¯s just a small bug in a new map. i accidentally found it, but i didn¡¯t expect it to be developed. these players are really full of themselves.¡± hearing this, shen lei¡¯s eyes turned cold. he looked at the complaining employee and said, ¡°will players still play games if they aren¡¯t satisfied? and if they don¡¯t play, how will we survive?¡± the reporting programmer looked embarrassed when he heard this. he lowered his head and did not dare to respond. ¡°our mission is to maintain the players¡¯ gaming experience and create a fair and just environment for them.¡± shen lei turned his head. his thick hair was trembling slightly, as if it symbolized the supreme dignity of the programmer world so that no programmer present dared to look him in the eye. he looked around at the 30 or so programmers present and said, ¡°if nothing goes wrong, the losses this time will be borne by our technical department. there is a high probability that this year¡¯s bonus will be canceled.¡± the moment he said this, the programmers present were all unconvinced. ¡°why? it¡¯s not the first time a bug has appeared. why is our year-end bonus deducted?¡± ¡°yeah. if my wife finds out that i lost my year-end bonus, she¡¯ll scold me to death!¡± ¡°i have my parents and children. i¡¯m counting on the year-end bonus to treat them to a good meal. how can this be?¡± more and more voices erupted. shen lei shouted, ¡°that¡¯s enough. if the bug had only appeared today, no one would have said anything bad about us.¡± ¡°but the problem is that this bug appeared yesterday, but not only did we fail to fix it, we didn¡¯t even discover it. this caused the situation to escalate and increase our losses. this is our fault, and everyone, including me, has to bear this responsibility.¡± ¡°we¡¯re all adults. we have to bear the responsibility. since they were here to make a living, if something happened, they had to pay the price.¡± after hearing this, everyone understood that their year-end bonus was definitely gone. an adult should be responsible for his own actions. ¡°wait a minute.¡± suddenly, a man who was less than thirty years old and had very little hair walked out of the crowd. he pushed up his thick glasses and said, ¡°i don¡¯t think we should bear the responsibility for this matter.¡± everyone turned to look at him, and many of their eyes lit up. this was related to their year-end bonus. shen lei also turned his head and stared at him with a sharp gaze. ¡°yu hong, speak clearly.¡± ¡°i heard that something happened in the public relations department yesterday. it seems to be related to this bug.¡± ¡°i feel that since they discovered this bug but didn¡¯t hand it over to us in time, i think they should bear the responsibility!¡± yu hong¡¯s words allowed the others to find a way to avoid punishment. they hurriedly clamored to go to the public relations department to ask. ¡°alright!¡± shen lei shouted and looked at yu hong. ¡°are you sure you¡¯re telling the truth?¡± ¡°i¡¯m sure!¡± yu hong said firmly. ¡°alright, you have to be responsible for what you said. i¡¯ll report the situation now. if it¡¯s true, we just need to increase our workload.¡± shen lei went back to his office after he finished talking and was ready to inform general manager luo wei of the matter. once shen lei left, all the programmers cheered! ¡°yay! i was scared to death! i almost thought i lost my year-end bonus!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. i took a fancy to a new electric car this year and planned to change it after the year-end bonus. i was almost scared to death.¡± someone ran to yu hong¡¯s side and put an arm around his shoulder. he smiled and said, ¡°you¡¯re really something. if not for you, we would have suffered a huge loss!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. all thanks to yu hong!¡± ¡°hahaha, lao yu, don¡¯t look at how dull you are usually, but you are still very useful at critical moments!¡± yu hong pushed his glasses up and smiled innocently. ¡°i just remembered about this. besides, this has nothing to do with us. it¡¯s already bad enough that we have to increase our workload because of this.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. i don¡¯t know which bastard actually has the time to ponder over such a bug.¡± ¡°i¡¯ve said it before.¡± at the same time, in the public relations department. ¡°hello.¡± ¡°what did you say? what do technical matters have to do with my public relations department?¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll go ask now. if there¡¯s no problem, just wait for me.¡± the head of the public relations department, yuan haichuan, put down the company¡¯s internal phone and walked out of the office. at this moment, the public relations department was preparing to make a statement about today¡¯s bug. he walked to a table beside him and knocked on it. seeing that everyone was looking over, he said, ¡°i received news about the bug. someone said that our public relations department had discovered it yesterday. is that true?¡± ¡°you¡¯d better think carefully before answering. the losses in this matter are huge. if you don¡¯t do well, you might have to pack up and leave.¡± yuan haichuan was quite satisfied when he saw that everyone was at a loss. his hint was already very obvious. as long as no one spoke, he could settle this matter. did he really think that he, the supervisor, was stupid to let the public relations department take the blame for a technical matter? he looked around again and found that qi jun¡¯s hands were pressing on xiao ruoyan¡¯s shoulders. the two of them seemed to be flirting. seeing this, yuan haichuan said angrily, ¡°when did you two hook up? do whatever you want after work. don¡¯t do this in the office.¡± after saying that, he prepared to leave and get rid of this blame. at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground behind him. he couldn¡¯t help but turn around. xiao ruoyan pushed qi jun away and said loudly, ¡°supervisor, i clearly went to submit the bug yesterday, but they didn¡¯t accept it. now that there¡¯s a problem, why are they questioning us?¡± when yuan haichuan heard this, his face turned ugly and his voice became low, ¡°so, you knew about this bug?¡± xiao ruoyan, who had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter, did not notice that qi jun, who was behind her, had gradually distanced himself from her. she still said righteously, ¡°yes, i found it, but i also submitted it to them, but they didn¡¯t care. this is their own dereliction of duty!¡± ¡°¡­¡± yuan haichuan stared at her meaningfully. after a few seconds, he sighed and said to the others like a deflated balloon. ¡°you should be prepared to lose your year-end bonus.¡± ¡°as for you.¡± he looked at xiao ruoyan and said in disappointment, ¡°get ready to pack up and leave.¡± xiao ruoyan: ??? ¡­ Chapter 25 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°why?¡± xiao ruoyan was stunned on the spot and only spoke after a while. ¡°¡­¡± yuan haichuan glanced at her, shook his head, and didn¡¯t say anything. he went straight back to his office and prepared to report this matter. if all the employees denied it, he would definitely be able to take it. however, since someone had admitted it, if he forcefully protected her, the risk would only be transferred to himself in the end. in such a big company, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that the news of him protecting his employees wouldn¡¯t spread. if something happened, he would just have to cover up the truth and cover up his subordinates. he would also lose his job. after yuan haichuan left, the other colleagues also looked cold. some of them even gritted their teeth when they saw xiao ruoyan. if it weren¡¯t for xiao ruoyan, why would there be a problem with their year-end bonus? ¡°brother jun.¡± xiao ruoyan looked at qi jun and realized that the man who had taken care of her and taught her many things was also cold. ¡°you¡¯re on your own. i almost fought with you just now and couldn¡¯t stop you.¡± qi jun sighed, shook his head, and returned to his work. the entire office was immediately filled with a strange atmosphere. xiao ruoyan felt so uncomfortable being in it. ¡°why? why? i¡¯m clearly not the one in the wrong!¡± xiao ruoyan couldn¡¯t understand. all of this was clearly caused by the technical department¡¯s neglect. why was she the unlucky one in the end? not long after, yuan haichuan came out of the office and said with a gloomy face, ¡°the results are out. everyone¡¯s year-end bonus will be canceled, and everyone will be given a demerit. if there are any similar mistakes, they will be fired.¡± after saying that, he looked at xiao ruoyan and said coldly, ¡°you can pack your things and leave.¡± when the truth really came, xiao ruoyan couldn¡¯t help but ask yuan haichuan loudly, ¡°why? the fault of this matter is not on me. it¡¯s the technical department¡¯s people who didn¡¯t deal with it in time, which led to a big mistake. why should the company fire me? i don¡¯t accept it!¡± ¡°you¡¯re not convinced?¡± yuan haichuan laughed out loud. ¡°seeing that you¡¯re about to get lost, i¡¯ll personally teach you a lesson.¡± ¡°is the main point of this matter who is right and who is wrong?¡± ¡°the important thing is who will bear the responsibility. the matter has already happened. the main point was how to solve it. the higher-ups were only concerned about this.¡± ¡°originally, as long as you didn¡¯t speak, i could have easily fooled you.¡± ¡°now, you¡¯ve caused everyone to be punished. are you satisfied now?¡± xiao ruoyan¡¯s temper flared up as she retorted, ¡°what do you mean i caused it? i¡¯ve clearly done my duty and done what i should have done.¡± ¡°he was clearly the one who had failed in his duty, and the real culprit was also him. he did not pay attention to the bug that i submitted, which led to the heavy losses.¡± ¡°who told you to submit the bug?¡± yuan haichuan¡¯s sudden sentence stunned xiao ruoyan. ¡°i wanted to submit it myself.¡± ¡°how many feathers do you have?¡± yuan haichuan could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet when he heard this. he said resentfully, ¡°don¡¯t care about things that shouldn¡¯t be your business. didn¡¯t anyone teach you?¡± yuan haichuan laughed. if someone had taught her, xiao ruoyan would not have caused him such big trouble. faced with such a hothead, he calmed down and said helplessly, ¡°that¡¯s good. remember this after you leave here. don¡¯t make the same mistake again.¡± xiao ruoyan saw that she was wrong on yuan haichuan¡¯s side, and she was wrong on the other side. it was as if she was really wrong. thinking of this, she could not help but feel wronged. tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice began to choke. ¡°no, why? why am i the one in the wrong?¡± seeing xiao ruoyan actually cry, yuan haichuan was at a loss. the other colleagues also looked over. xiao ruoyan¡¯s beautiful face was filled with tears. ¡°i-i-i originally thought that everyone was¡­ they were all colleagues and could work together to do this well.¡± ¡°if there¡¯s anything wrong, just change it. if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, just ask. isn¡¯t it only better if everyone works hard together?¡± ¡°but why? when i encountered a problem, i should have escaped, shirked responsibility, and relaxed. i don¡¯t understand, i really don¡¯t understand¡­¡± xiao ruoyan¡¯s words were like a needle and a thorn, fiercely stabbing into the hearts of everyone present. yes, they were as naive as xiao ruoyan when they entered the company. they thought that as long as they tried their best, others would do the same. if everyone tried their best, they would be able to make the game better and better. however, reality soon taught them how to be a good person. ¡°supervisor.¡± xiao ruoyan suddenly interrupted everyone¡¯s thoughts. ¡°hmm?¡± yuan haichuan¡¯s expression was also ugly at this moment. he was also a newcomer. he had the same emotions as the others just now, or even stronger. ¡°can you tell me why i was fired?¡± xiao ruoyan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion, like a homeless child. ¡°¡­¡± yuan haichuan was silent for a while, then said, ¡°it¡¯s very simple. it doesn¡¯t matter who¡¯s right or wrong. it¡¯s a question of who will bear the consequences.¡± ¡°you¡¯re just a new employee in the public relations department, and he¡¯s the backbone of the technical department. the company won¡¯t fire him for you.¡± ¡°not just you, even the entire public relations department is dependent on the technical department. you have to know that the game was developed by this group of programmers. you should know how high their status is even without me telling you.¡± ¡°in this situation, if anything happens, the only thing we can do is to avoid them. don¡¯t fight them head-on.¡± ¡°if you didn¡¯t say anything just now, the company could only blame the technical department for the problem. because of their importance, the company would only bear the losses.¡± ¡°now that you¡¯ve spoken, the public relations department is just a microphone. if it¡¯s not useful, just change it. how can the company be polite to you?¡± ¡°do you understand now?¡± yuan haichuan said that xiao ruoyan had completely given up and knew that things were irreversible. suddenly, she thought of something and said, ¡°can i use the surveillance footage from yesterday? i did have contact with him and submitted the bug to him, but he didn¡¯t accept it. if i use this as evidence, the responsibility will still be theirs. this way, at least we won¡¯t be punished and our year-end bonus won¡¯t be deducted!¡± seeing this, the other employees¡¯ eyes lit up. it seemed that this method was feasible. however, yuan haichuan immediately poured cold water on them. ¡°it¡¯s useless. if you play logic with the science guy, he can play you to death. the surveillance footage has probably been deleted. moreover, the company¡¯s surveillance footage has no sound. if the content of your conversation is not clear, as long as he refuses to admit it, under the premise just now, whatever you say is useless.¡± seeing xiao ruoyan¡¯s face turn red and white, yuan haichuan sighed and his tone became gentle. ¡°hurry up and leave. be careful in the future. this is your first lesson in life.¡± ¡­ Chapter 26 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation xiao ruoyan signed the resignation letter and left the company in a daze after receiving the compensation from the finance department. ¡°ruoyan.¡± xiao ruoyan turned around and saw qi jun. ¡°brother jun.¡± qi jun walked to her side and said with a smile, ¡°do you want to have dinner together tonight?¡± qi jun smiled, but xiao ruoyan shook her head. ¡°brother jun, i understand what you mean, but i¡¯ve always treated you as my brother.¡± ¡°i knew it.¡± qi jun laughed and shook his head. ¡°you might as well just say that you treat me like a good person.¡± xiao ruoyan smiled but did not speak. qi jun did not pester him. a person like him could not be hung on a tree. it was simple and straightforward to succeed or not succeed. ¡°what are your plans next?¡± qi jun asked. ¡°let¡¯s wait. i want to go home first.¡± after xiao ruoyan finished speaking, she seemed to have become the innocent girl before the incident. her eyes were filled with light as she said, ¡°i think i should try to write a novel. i heard that many people who are dissatisfied with reality will try to recreate the world in their dreams in their novels.¡± ¡°i think i¡¯m quite suitable.¡± ¡°hahaha, it¡¯s not bad. i can give it a try. i¡¯ll go on a trip to the dream world.¡± after qi jun finished speaking, he advised, ¡°but in the end, we still have to return to reality.¡± ¡°of course.¡± xiao ruoyan smiled and walked out of the company. her thin figure left a long, slanted trail in the dusk. ¡­ ¡°the matter has been resolved. the public relations department has to take the main responsibility for this matter, but the game is under our control, so we also have secondary responsibilities. today¡¯s mission is to fix the bug before leaving work.¡± half an hour later, shen lei, who had settled everything, announced the division of responsibility to everyone. after knowing that they didn¡¯t need to deduct their bonuses, the programmers forgot about the hard work of working overtime. they quickly straightened their spirits and started to work on fixing bugs. as soon as the work began, this group of science and engineering programmers immediately displayed their professionalism. their eyes were all fixed on each other as they immersed themselves in the world of code. due to the bug¡¯s sudden discovery, everyone was working together to conquer this bug. they also communicated with each other more so that it was easier to solve it faster. when they figured out the principle of the bug, someone couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°don¡¯t say that. it¡¯s quite ridiculous to find a bug like this.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. it¡¯s impossible for an ordinary expert to create this bug at this time.¡± the programmers who could enter the white-bellied goose were basically from famous schools and had excellent professional qualities. however, when everyone saw this bug, their mouths could not help but twitch. this kind of bug could also be triggered. was it human? ghost shadow perplexing track was a seven-star map designed by them. this was the most difficult map. this bug required them to reach this place in one minute and thirty seconds, which required a very high technical requirement. it could even be said that there was no way for them to arrive at this time. however, the players who spread this bug relied on their superb skills and their original running method to create such a flowery job, causing them to almost lose their year-end bonus¡­ this made the group of science and engineering guys love and hate each other. love was that as men, they admired these players who could practice super skills. this was a realm that their brains and knowledge could not reach. the hate was that once these bugs appeared, they would have to shed a bunch of hair to fix them¡­ ¡°fortunately, this bug isn¡¯t complicated. we should be able to solve it in two to three hours.¡± ¡°i already have an idea of how to repair it. i¡¯ll tell you guys to listen and see if it works¡­¡± ¡°i think so.¡± ¡°me too.¡± ¡°this way, we can even save a lot of time.¡± .. at ten o¡¯clock at night, zhou tianhao, who had been scrolling through his phone until he fell asleep, suddenly heard a voice in his mind. ¡°the bug has been fixed. mission completed. reward: a bottle of body modification fluid!¡± ¡°the reward has been given out.¡± ¡°the first mission is completed. the system will be upgraded. the estimated time is twelve hours. please wait patiently.¡± the sound disappeared. because the lights were not turned on, zhou tianhao, who was still in a daze, suddenly realized that there was a hazy fog in front of him. ¡°body modification fluid!¡± he immediately perked up and reached out to touch the light fog. as soon as he touched it, a palm-sized glass bottle fell into his hand. he couldn¡¯t see clearly in the dark, and he couldn¡¯t wait to turn on the lights. he could only get closer to his eyes and look at the moonlight outside the window. he saw a small bottle with a white label with two small song characters on it. [kidney treasure] ¡°6.¡± the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he could not help but think of that classic advertisement slogan. (sichuan and chongqing version) a bottle to refresh his mind. two bottles of forever. three bottles of immortality¡­ ¡°the taste is excellent¡­¡± zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t help but think of a way to make it sound better. he shook his head and opened the kidney treasure in his hand, drinking it all in one go. gulp! gulp! gulp! the moment he drank it, zhou tianhao felt as if his stomach had exploded. he felt as if he was about to become a jet warrior. ¡°f*ck! why did you release it to the outside?¡± without a word, he got up and jumped off the bed, wanting to sprint to the toilet. however, before he could take two steps, he felt his entire body spin. not only did he lose control of his body, but his consciousness also began to weaken. ¡®can you let me spray it in the toilet!¡¯ this was the last thought that came to zhou tianhao¡¯s mind. plop¡­ .. kacha¡­ da da da da¡­ dong dong dong¡­ slightly¡­ after he fell to the ground, zhou tianhao did not lose control of his back door. instead, the sound of bones cracking could be heard from all over his body. his body began to swell, and his originally fitting and slightly loose clothes became tighter. the lines of his muscles were clearly visible, and when he lay on the ground, his buttocks that were facing the sky became more and more curved¡­ after an unknown period of time. zhou tianhao seemed to hear something in his daze. it was the sound of toes stepping on the ground, as if someone was walking on tiptoes. after walking for a few steps, the sound of footsteps became very obvious. slowly, some subtle sounds of metal colliding could be heard. it sounded very much like a key being inserted into a keyhole. however, he soon realized that the voice began to repeat itself, one in and one out, one in and one out¡­ this process repeated countless times before a cracking sound suddenly appeared. then, everything immediately returned to silence, as if the previous sound had never existed. creak¨C after a long time, the sound of the door opening rang out. it was subtle and long, as if someone was carefully opening a door. soon, the sound of tiptoes appeared again. da¡­ da¡­ da¡­ to zhou tianhao, the voice was so clear. especially his right ear, he could even hear the sound of the sand on his shoes and the floor. zhou tianhao was puzzled. what was happening to his body? why was he hearing such a strange sound? was this the function of the kidney treasure? open the door to the body¡¯s treasure? just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his right hand. it was the pain of being stepped on by the sharp tip of a shoe! ¡°aiyo, f*ck! who stepped on me?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly woke up and retracted his right hand. he was completely awake. at the same time, he heard a clang in his ears. a black figure rushed out of the door under the hazy moonlight! after 0.01 seconds, zhou tianhao reacted and shouted, ¡°f*ck, there¡¯s a thief!¡± ¡­ Chapter 27 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation zhou tianhao only reacted when he saw the thief run away. it turned out that the noise just now was made by the thief. ¡°thief, where are you running to!¡± he didn¡¯t know where his confidence came from. as he spoke, he pressed his hands on the floor and wanted to get up and chase after the thief. with this press, he felt his body as light as a piece of paper. with just a little force, his entire body was lifted into the air. it was only then that he realized that he had already taken the kidney treasure and his physical fitness was frighteningly good. in the next second, a bunch of fighting techniques appeared in his mind and fused into his bones at the same time, combining with this powerful body. at this moment, zhou tianhao felt that he was filled with power! ¡°run? where are you going?¡± he turned his head and saw a black figure running wildly in the night. the two of them were now 50 meters apart. under normal circumstances, zhou tianhao would have called the police. it was impossible for him to catch up at this distance. not to mention that the other party might still have weapons in his hands. even if he caught up, it would be equivalent to courting death. but now, he was almost fearless. at this moment, he was like a cheetah ready to hunt. he turned around slightly and faced the door. bang! he took a step forward and the porcelain plate beneath his feet cracked. then, zhou tianhao shot out like an arrow and passed through the door. in his field of vision, all that was left was the race track between him and the thief. the race track was for the 100-meter race, and the thief was already 50 meters ahead of him! at this distance, even if it was the flying man bolt, he would not be able to catch up in a short period of time! however, in his eyes, he felt that he could easily surpass the world record! da! in the process, he tapped the ground lightly with his toes. his body was like a swallow, and his speed soared again! in front of him, a thief in black clothes and a black hat was running desperately. he was panting heavily, but he did not dare to stop. he kept his eyes fixed on the front. there was a beige sedan that he had stolen. as long as he let him sit inside, he could step on the accelerator and run away. at this moment, he was only 50 meters away from the sedan. he felt like his throat was about to split open, and his thighs felt as heavy as cement, but he still ran with all his might. being able to do this, he was very confident in his running speed. he only needed six to seven seconds to run 50 meters! fifty meters. forty meters. thirty¡­ the thief, who was calculating the distance in his heart, suddenly felt something hit the back of his head as he ran. before he could react, a huge force suddenly came from the back of his head. his entire body pounced forward, and his forehead landed first. with a bang, the thief was stunned. at this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. ¡°i¡¯m not going to die, am i?¡± .. ¡°officer, you have to protect me. i haven¡¯t even stolen anything and i was almost killed by him!¡± in the police station, zhou tianhao sat in a chair and watched the thief cry to the police. ¡°shut up. do you think stealing is reasonable? it¡¯s already good enough that you didn¡¯t get beaten to death. do you know how many thieves get beaten to death every year without anyone to claim their corpses?¡± the police officer in the police uniform turned to zhou tianhao and reprimanded him, ¡°you hit him so hard. although it¡¯s against the law for him to steal, he doesn¡¯t deserve to die. you just have to subdue him. look at his bruised face. if it¡¯s just a minor injury, won¡¯t you be detained for ten days to half a month and have to pay compensation?¡± when he heard about compensation, the thief immediately perked up. ¡°i want to do an injury evaluation. he hit me. i want him to pay!¡± the police officer said disdainfully, ¡°the injury appraisal is at least 800 yuan. do you have it?¡±¡± ¡°¡­¡± the thief stopped talking. would he still do anything sneaky if he had money? ¡°alright, you deserve it. you stole things from someone¡¯s house. you¡¯re lucky that they didn¡¯t beat you to death.¡± after the police officer finished speaking, he could not help but look at zhou tianhao¡¯s figure. his muscles were well-defined, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a fitness expert. looking at his well-defined abdominal muscles, the police officer was already thinking about whether he should go to the gym to exercise after work. ¡°officer, can i ask him a question?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly spoke. seeing that the police officer nodded, he asked, ¡°how did you get into my house?¡± ¡°i don¡¯t have anything in my house. it¡¯s just a run-down rental house. what valuable things can you find?¡± after zhou tianhao finished speaking, the police officer was also very curious. he continued to ask, ¡°hurry up and say it. that¡¯s an old neighborhood. there are all the elderly and young people who don¡¯t have much money. what can you steal from there? are you stupid to have just entered the profession?¡± ¡°officer, you can insult my character, but you can¡¯t insult my profession. i¡¯m known in the profession as someone who can open any lock. i¡¯m famous for stealing¡­¡± seeing that the police officer¡¯s gaze was getting sharper and sharper, the thief¡¯s voice became softer and softer. in the end, he could only pout and say aggrievedly, ¡°don¡¯t you have a computer that costs tens of thousands?¡± ¡°computer?¡± the police officer was very surprised and looked at zhou tianhao. ¡°is that true?¡± zhou tianhao nodded and frowned, ¡°how did you know?¡± as soon as he said that, he had a flash of inspiration. as if he had caught a clue, he blurted out, ¡°could it be brother monkey king¡¯s live broadcast?¡± ¡°yes.¡± the thief nodded. ¡°but how did you know my address?¡± ¡°are you following me?¡± ¡°hmm?¡± the police officer¡¯s gaze suddenly turned sharp. this was already a premeditated crime. ¡°no, no.¡± the thief quickly waved his hand. ¡°during the live broadcast today, didn¡¯t brother monkey king release your chat history?¡± ¡°at that time, i was chatting about the records and saw your address. coincidentally, i lived nearby, so i started to wait near your house¡­¡± as soon as he said this, the truth was revealed. zhou tianhao was also embarrassed. the internet was really scary nowadays. he remembered that monkey king had stopped him from posting the chat history. he didn¡¯t expect that his address would still be leaked. it seemed that he had to move as soon as possible. it was two o¡¯clock in the morning when they left the police station. zhou tianhao took the kidney treasure at around 10 am and caught the thief at around 12.30 am. he stayed in the police station for more than an hour. initially, the police officer on duty had planned to send him back, afraid that he would encounter bad people. however, looking at his figure, he was more worried that those bad people would be beaten to death by him¡­ zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t fall asleep when he returned to his apartment. the effects of the kidney treasure made him still very energetic. hence, he packed his luggage and everything else, including his new computer. he was prepared to leave the next day and look for a new place to live. after tidying up, he placed his things by the bed and laid down on the bed. he only had two thousand yuan on him now. he didn¡¯t even have enough money to rent a better house. so, he had to draw the remaining lottery points from the game! he had already tried. the system upgrade did not conflict with the face slapping lottery. he could still draw the lottery normally. looking at his powerful body, zhou tianhao smiled. ¡°instructor, are you alright?¡± ¡­ Chapter 28 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation he activated the face slapping lottery. it was still the same familiar disadvantageous style. in addition to the face slapping points he had earned from his previous livestream, his face slapping points had returned to around 10,000. ¡°lottery.¡± zhou tianhao muttered in his heart. the face slapping points automatically decreased by 1,000, and the wheel began to spin. three. two. one. the spinning needle began to slow down and slowly stopped in an area filled with fog. his eyes lit up. this was the third area that he had lit up. he had only lit up [random skills] and [money bag of fortune]. he did not know what the third area was. under his expectant gaze, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing its true appearance. it was still in a very simple style, depicting a stickman being slapped by another stickman. below the screen, there were a few words: [random face slapping tool] before he could react, the two stickmen on the screen suddenly turned into an animation. the content of the animation did not change. one stickman still slapped the other away. however, as the stickman flew out, a ball of light seemed to have traveled through time and space. it flew out of the lottery draw area along with the stickman¡¯s flying image. the connection between the two was very smooth¡­ ¡°system, you¡¯re really good at this!¡± zhou tianhao finally realized that the system was giving him a face slapping tool. he tapped the ball with his fingertip, and it shattered. a piece of paper that looked like a shopping voucher fell into his hand. ¡°why does it feel like i¡¯m playing a capsule machine¡­¡± zhou tianhao complained. then, he picked up the paper and looked at it carefully. [10x slap in the face amplification]] [function: after a successful face slapping, this coupon can be used to increase the effect of the face slapping by ten times and return it to the host.] [note: consumable, can only be used once.] 10 times amplification! zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes lit up. this thing was very useful! for example, if he boasted to others that he had 10,000 yuan, but others did not believe him, he would take out 10,000 yuan to slap the face and use this coupon. the coupon would increase by ten times and return to him as 100,000 yuan! if he had 100 million yuan in his hands, wouldn¡¯t he be able to get 10 billion yuan with an increment coupon? ¡°one billion, ah, one billion. i can¡¯t spend it all in my lifetime¡­¡± zhou tianhao¡¯s heart was racing, but he soon laughed at himself. where was he going to find 100 million? unless he was lucky every time he drew the lottery. each lucky bag could give a maximum of one million yuan as a bonus. this way, he would have an increase of nine million, which would be ninety million. he was not far from a small goal. this way, when he drew the next increment coupon, he would be a billionaire¡­ however, he could only think about these things first. the probability of obtaining these things was probably even harder than winning the lottery. ¡°we can only use it when the time is right.¡± putting aside his unrealistic thoughts, zhou tianhao put the enhancement coupon into the system and continued with the next lottery draw. with the enhancement coupons as a good start, he felt that there would definitely be more good things coming up. there were still five areas on the wheel that had yet to be unlocked. he did not know what they were. ¡°the first time you came here with an increment coupon, there will definitely be more awesome ones in the future, right?¡± zhou tianhao could not help but rub his hands together. he was fantasizing about a super lucky bag. at the very least, it would be 10 million. that way, he could go out and brag and become a billionaire in minutes! the wheel spun again. three. two. one. the needle slowly stopped. this time, they stopped in an area covered by fog. ¡°nice!¡± zhou tianhao was overjoyed. he stared at the wheel, waiting for the fog to disperse. a gust of wind seemed to blow past the wheel, and the fog on it was blown away. gradually, the fog faded, revealing the contents of the area. zhou tianhao¡¯s eyes followed the fog from left to right and he couldn¡¯t help but recite the words in his heart. ¡°i¡­¡± ¡°really¡­¡± ¡°yes¡­¡± ¡°yes¡­¡± ¡°thank¡­¡± zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± he thought that this person was stupid. you¡¯re just a system, and you¡¯re still playing with jokes, right? however, when the fog dissipated, zhou tianhao realized that he had not finished reading. the complete version was: ¡°i will really thank you for your patronage¡­¡± ¡°6.¡± he was already a little numb. this lousy system. just as he was about to say that it was a good start and that the next lottery draw would definitely be good stuff, the system immediately gave him a thank you for your patronage, which directly slapped his face¡­ it could only be said that this bug system should be renamed the face slapping system. as for the words ¡®thank you for your patronage¡¯ on the lottery wheel, zhou tianhao felt that it was quite normal¡­ ¡®normal my ass!¡¯ ¡®you¡¯re a freaking system!¡¯ ¡®how could you have such a tacky choice?¡¯ ¡®can¡¯t you be a little more cool?¡¯ ¡®can you open up the situation?¡¯ ¡°what lousy system? why don¡¯t you learn from the bad ones?¡± zhou tianhao continued to draw. it couldn¡¯t be helped. it would be worse if he didn¡¯t slap him. at least there was a possibility if he did. the wheel continued to spin. three. two. one. the needle stopped. this time, it was a familiar region. it was a thread-bound book, which zhou tianhao called a skill book. there were four words at the bottom of the book. [random skill] ¡°instructor, i missed you so much!¡± zhou tianhao grinned. he had been abused by the demonic instructor twice, and now he wanted to get back at him for everything! zhou tianhao flipped to one of the pages and looked at the title. [firearms] the next moment, his vision turned black. when he reappeared, he was already in a shooting range. there were many moving targets and fixed targets in front of him. he turned his head and saw an invisible wall of air beside him. the demonic instructor was waving at him from behind the wall of air. zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± ¡­ zhou tianhao¡¯s consciousness reappeared in the rented apartment. he was gritting his teeth. with the obstruction of the air wall, he couldn¡¯t touch the demonic instructor at all. ¡°there should be protection. damn it, don¡¯t let me draw any more fighting skills, or i¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡± after zhou tianhao finished speaking, he recalled the feeling of all kinds of guns and couldn¡¯t help but reminisce. with the help of the kidney treasure, he could almost ignore the recoil of the gun and only enjoy the pleasure of the firepower. he looked at his face slapping points and saw that he still had around 7,000 points left, which meant that he had seven lottery chances. ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter if the others come or not for the time being. give me a lucky bag. otherwise, i can¡¯t even afford to rent a house.¡± zhou tianhao prayed for a while before continuing to draw the lottery. the wheel spun. three. two. one. ¡°i will really thank you for your patronage.¡± ¡­ three. two. one. ¡°i will really thank you for your patronage.¡± three. two. one. ¡°i will really thank you for your patronage.¡± ¡°it¡¯s almost done!¡± zhou tianhao threw the pillow on the floor, shaking with anger. he was like a gambler at the moment, always thinking that he could recoup his losses next time, but the system insisted on slapping him in the face and not letting him have his way¡­ ¡°phew-¡± zhou tianhao forced himself to calm down. the wheel continued to spin. three. two. one. [money bag] three. two one. [money and fortune bag.] three. two. one. [money and fortune bag.] three. two. one. [money and fortune bag.] looking at the four bags of fortune in a row, zhou tianhao could not help but cover his forehead and complain, ¡°it¡¯s really all an insider operation¡­¡± ¡­ Chapter 29 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°lottery? this is all inside information. i really have to thank the system.¡± zhou tianhao opened the four bags of fortune one by one. ¡°give me the highest amount of bonus to make up for the shock i received today!¡± he put his palms together and opened it in his heart. a round cloth bag filled with overflowing gold coins appeared. ding! a gold coin popped out, followed by a gaudy low-quality light effect and a few large words. ¡°congratulations on obtaining 1000 yuan.¡± pow~ his phone rang and a message appeared. ¡°[bank x], account number 520 has received 10,000.00 yuan, balance 10,023.00 yuan. ¡°no, system, come out. are you deliberately messing with me? why didn¡¯t you level up properly and keep doing this every day? do you think it¡¯s reasonable to give me 10,000 yuan for a lucky bag?¡± zhou tianhao cursed at the air, but it was obviously useless. he could not help but feel disappointed. the lucky bag was randomly drawn between 1,000,000 to 1,000,000. the first time he drew 100,000, and the second time he drew the lowest 10,000. the difference was really big. ¡°forget it. 10,000 is money and 10,000 is love. i don¡¯t believe that i can get the remaining few¡­ pa!¡± just as he was about to plant a flag, he immediately reacted and slapped himself to interrupt the casting. otherwise, with the lousy nature of this system, it would probably immediately make the flag planting a reality¡­ ¡°system, qiuqiu, be a human!¡± zhou tianhao prayed again and then silently said the lottery. ding! the gold coin popped out and fell back down. ¡°congratulations on obtaining 70000 yuan.¡± pow~ ¡°[bank x], your account ending with 520 has received 70,000.00 yuan, and the balance is 80,023.00 yuan.¡± ¡°not bad, 70,000.¡± he remembered that the first time he used this bag of fortune, he even gave a note. the higher the amount, the lower the probability of it appearing. it seemed that his fantasy of getting a few million yuan from his lucky bag today was completely shattered. based on the current situation, 200,000 yuan was probably the limit for four lucky bags. ¡°continue.¡± ding! ¡°congratulations on obtaining 60000 yuan.¡± pow~ ¡°[bank x], your account ending with 520 has received 60,000.00 yuan. the balance is 140,023.00 yuan.¡± ¡°why is it getting fewer and fewer!¡± zhou tianhao could feel his blood pressure rising. however, after calming down, he realized that this lucky bag was a purely random thing. it was unlike the lottery mechanism of some games, which was pseudo-random even though it was said to be true random. the probability of getting good items in the lottery would gradually increase with the number of times the lottery was drawn. there was only one lucky bag left. zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t understand. he had read novels before. other people¡¯s systems were worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. they were either big mansions or luxurious supercars. on the other hand, asking for money from the system was like begging it. he really did not know who the host was¡­ ¡°phew, system, do you know that you will lose an excellent host like me if you continue like this? i¡¯ll give you a number. one million, understand?¡± he let out a long breath and chanted in his heart again. then, he covered his eyes with both hands. ding! when he heard a ding, he slowly moved his hand away from his eyes, and the winning numbers gradually entered his sight. ¡°the beginning? is it really one million?¡± zhou tianhao¡¯s heart was beating furiously, and his palm moved even slower. next, he only needed to count the number of zeros behind him. one. two. three. four. five¡­ wait a minute, why is this zero a little small? zhou tianhao removed his hand. ¡°congratulations on obtaining 10000. yuan ¡± zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± ¡®system, what the f*ck is with the full stop?¡¯ ¡®you really don¡¯t deserve to be a human!¡¯ ¡°haha.¡± zhou tianhao collapsed on the bed and laughed at himself. what was he expecting? ¡­ the sun gradually rose in the sky, giving the horizon a majestic golden light. at seven o¡¯clock in the morning on september 18th, 2024, zhou tianhao carried his luggage and walked out of the rented house with a huge sum of 150,000 yuan. he was going to rent a new house. he had already checked out the house on his phone. it was in the rich garden five kilometers away from here. he had already spoken to the landlord about the old house and did not want the deposit. as for why he didn¡¯t want it, it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t love money. it was because he had stepped on a few tiles on the ground when he caught the thief! speaking of this, his teeth ached. at that time, he had stepped on the place where the four bricks were stuck together. he had stepped on four bricks at once. he didn¡¯t even know if his deposit would be enough to cover the cost of the labor and the tiles. fortunately, the landlord was a kind old lady who woke up at six in the morning. after a phone call, she said that she would not return the deposit and just keep the key and move away. in order to save trouble, zhou tianhao called for a car. he thought that he wouldn¡¯t be able to order it too early, but someone soon took the order. at nine in the morning, zhou tianhao opened his new room after completing all the procedures. he put 100,000 yuan in his bank card and withdrew 50,000 yuan. he rented a double room. there was a small room upstairs that could fit a computer. after paying the deposit and rent, zhou tianhao still had 40,000 yuan left in his wallet. he looked at the brand-new furnished room and the ample cash balance. he felt a sense of security. the internet here was very convenient. after paying, one could directly connect to the optical fiber network in the room. after everything settled down, he couldn¡¯t wait to move the 80,000-yuan laptop to the second floor. the new peripheral equipment had not arrived yet, so after assembling the computer and screen, he would use the old keyboard first. wuwuwu- the main computer loaded with performance monsters rang, and the main screen and secondary screen lit up at the same time. as it was a new phone, there was only one system and nothing else. zhou tianhao started to download some drivers and games. 10 am. zhou tianhao was wearing a bluetooth headset that he bought for 30 yuan. he listened to the song playing on the computer and logged into the goose flying car with the initial number. ¡°ding!¡± ¡°system upgrade complete.¡± ¡°details: [click to expand all]¡± zhou tian was stunned for a moment before he reacted. this stupid system was too lazy to read it out loud. he had to open it himself. zhou tianhao read it once and summarized it into the following three points: 1. the system interface is more beautiful. 2. slapping the face: the slap is more crisp and moving. 3. the system experience is more humane. zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± ¡®no, just tell me what¡¯s the use of this upgrade?¡¯ ¡®twelve hours just to refresh his skin?¡¯ ¡®what the f*ck, system upgrade skin regeneration? are you kidding me?¡¯ zhou tianhao was too tired to complain. at this moment, the system rang. ¡°ding! system mission issued.¡± ¡°in view of the goose flying car¡¯s public relations behavior, the system feels very disdainful. host, please publish ten bugs within ten days to make the goose flying car company pay attention to this.¡± ¡°the reward for completing the mission is the second bottle of body modification fluid.¡± zhou tianhao was stunned. the system? a second bottle of body modifying liquid? was this the humanization of the system after the upgrade? and what the hell was the second bottle of kidney treasure? could it be that he really agreed to those words? three bottles could make one immortal? the problem was that this was earth. were they sure that they wouldn¡¯t be dragged into human experiments? zhou tianhao¡¯s endless complaints echoed in zhou tianhao¡¯s mind. however, since the system had already released it, he could only complete it. to be honest, he really wanted to know what changes his body would have after drinking the second bottle of kidney treasure. so, he sat up straight and looked at the goose flying car game interface that had opened on the screen. ¡°eye of disorder, activate!¡± ¡­ Chapter 30 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the eye of disorder opened and zhou tianhao entered the code space. the system¡¯s mission was to release ten bugs within ten days. the eye of disorder could only be used once a day, which meant that one would be released every day. this was simple. he wanted to do the same. as long as goose flying car did not unseal his account, he would keep posting new bugs. let¡¯s see if your programmer is really capable. the speed of fixing can catch up with the speed at which he releases the bug. in the code space, he casually glanced around and saw many red balls of light that represented bugs. in fact, while waiting for the bug in ghost shadow perplexing track to be fixed, he had figured out some things. in other words, not all bugs would be taken seriously. the main reason why the bug in ¡°ghost shadow¡± could be fixed was because of the players who created the script. because the prerequisite for this bug was that one¡¯s skills were strong. otherwise, it was impossible to reach that place in one minute and thirty seconds. the script could replicate the operation of high-end players, allowing many people with bad hands to easily find this bug. this allowed the bug to spread widely. if not for that, zhou tianhao could not tell how long it would take for the bug to be fixed. it might still be repaired in the end, but it definitely wouldn¡¯t be as fast as it was now. after knowing this, he knew that if he wanted a bug to be discovered quickly, it had to be simple and easy for most players to do it. the second was the size of their influence. for example. among the hundreds of bugs he saw, there was a one-star map bug. however, no one had played this map for a long time. it might have been forgotten in a corner for a long time. if a bug appeared in a map like this, it would be difficult to attract the attention of the officials, because there was no need to. anyway, no one was playing it, so why would they fix it? wouldn¡¯t it be nice if he had the time to come up with a new car and skin to earn money? therefore, the bug he was going to release had to meet both of these requirements. it was easy to operate and influential. ¡°which maps are popular?¡± zhou tianhao thought hard and suddenly had an idea. he turned his gaze to the qualifying match. one had to know that a competitive game required a ranking match. defeating others in the game and the thrill of winning the game was a great weapon to retain players in competitive games! this was especially true for the ranking matches. winning could earn points and increase one¡¯s rank. and when you reached a higher level, people would subconsciously think that you were awesome when they saw you. this was the purpose of the ranking competition. for this reason, the ranking competition attracted a large number of players. out of a hundred players, 80 of them were playing ranked games. the rest were the other players. after zhou tianhao understood, he immediately looked at the maps that often appeared in the ranking competition. he quickly chose a target. three-star map, route 56. this map was very popular in the ranking competition. the technical requirements weren¡¯t high, but there were many slopes in the map. when the players were racing inside, it was like flying an airplane. it took almost 60% of the time to complete this map to fly in the sky. it was especially cool to run. hence, route 56 was also known as airstrip 56. after choosing his target, zhou tianhao touched the red ball of light. bang! the ball of light shattered, and a few simple steps appeared in his mind: retreating the race car at 59 seconds would trigger the ¡®rise to heaven¡¯ bug. after obtaining the bug, zhou tianhao started his livestream. since he had changed rooms, he was afraid of being recognized, so he used a bed sheet and two clothes racks to cover the background that the camera could see. only then did he really start the live broadcast. as soon as the broadcast started, bullet comments immediately appeared. ¡°you¡¯ve finally started broadcasting! do you know how long i¡¯ve been waiting for you?¡± ¡°i¡¯ve also been waiting for a long time. i¡¯m finally streaming. oh, right. streamer, your bug has been fixed. you can¡¯t get a new one anymore.¡± ¡°those damn programmers are really fast at fixing things. i¡¯m impressed. it didn¡¯t even get stuck twice before it was gone.¡± ¡°you¡¯re good. i bought that script, but my account was blocked. fortunately, i was smart and opened it with a side account, so it didn¡¯t hurt to be blocked.¡± ¡°i¡¯m different. i used my main account, but it wasn¡¯t sealed for long. it was only sealed for a month.¡± ¡°by the way, streamer, what kind of heaven-defying cheat did you use to make feng shinian so terrifying?¡± zhou tianhao said angrily. ¡°did i say i didn¡¯t open your letter?¡± ¡°yes.¡± ¡°i believe you.¡± ¡°i really believe you.¡± ¡°i really believe it now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± this group of bastards was actually starting to be sarcastic. zhou tianhao didn¡¯t expect that he wouldn¡¯t succeed. shouldn¡¯t he also say something ironic? the system¡¯s face slapping judgment would only be based on objective judgment. to put it bluntly, it was based on what you said and not what you thought. he didn¡¯t succeed, so he didn¡¯t deliberately create suspense. instead, he started the qualifying match. as he was the starting number, his rank was the lowest. he could only encounter some two-star maps and occasionally three-star maps. as for the star map, it was fine as long as it was in hand. if it was too simple, it would not be included in the official ranking map. with zhou tianhao¡¯s true skill, he could beat his opponent with one hand. and basically, he crushed everyone with his bare hands. with his running method, as long as he crossed the line, the others would definitely not be able to reach the finish line in the last ten seconds. however, in order to take care of these new players, zhou tianhao deliberately waited at the finish line until he saw that someone could reach the finish line. sometimes, they would have to spend half a minute waiting for a round. there was no other way. novice players were so noob that they couldn¡¯t even follow the instructions of the track. zhou tianhao¡¯s actions touched many of the comments. ¡°he¡¯s actually waiting for those new players. he¡¯s really¡­ i¡¯m going to cry.¡± ¡°what a gentle streamer. why would such a gentle streamer cheat? i¡¯m starting to believe him¡­¡± ¡°sob, sob, sob. i love a man with good skills and a caring heart!¡± ¡°you¡¯d better say that the goose flying car¡¯s skills are good¡­¡± ¡­ zhou tianhao didn¡¯t pay any attention to this. he was focused on his work. just like that, zhou tianhao spent an hour to advance from bronze to gold. this was the most popular rank in almost all the games. at this time, the two-star map could no longer be seen. a large number of three-star maps and a small number of four-star maps began to appear. at this stage, he could basically meet players with some skill. however, it was just a little. in front of zhou tianhao, he could only be beaten up. however, in order to take care of them, he would still wait for them at the finish line. he did not think that he would not take care of them just because their ranks were high. after all, even if they had reached gold rank, the difference in strength between them was still like heaven and earth. when it came to the fifth piece of the golden section, the system randomly selected a map from the gallery. route 56. the game started very quickly, and zhou tianhao was still the first to take the lead. however, as he ran, he suddenly stopped. the car seemed to have lost control and crashed into the outer wall. ¡°what happened? what¡¯s wrong with the host?¡± ¡°oh no, did the host suddenly die? it was very difficult to suddenly lose control of the symptoms without any unexpected circumstances!¡± ¡°f*ck! was this for real? the live broadcast was still going on, which meant that the internet should still be online? will the streamer really be speechless?¡± ¡°everyone, quickly call yaoyao ling!¡± just as the bullet screen was about to save the streamer, the match ended at 59 seconds. da! the sound of a keyboard rang out, and the racing car that had stopped because it had hit the wall on the screen retreated a little. the next moment, the entire map shook. the racing car on the screen seemed to be equipped with an anti-gravity device. it directly rose into the air and flew out! bullet comments: ¡°???¡± ¡­ Chapter 31 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation the moment zhou tianhao¡¯s racing car rose to the sky. the scene was shocking. the bullet screen is stupid. because it was morning, the popularity of the live stream was not high. there were only a little over 1,000 views, which was equivalent to 100 to 200 people. but even so, dozens of bullet comments popped up in an instant. it was very lively. ¡°wtf?¡± ¡°ah?¡± ¡°???¡± ¡°666!¡± ¡°defy the heavens!¡± ¡°f*ck! what did i just see? what the f*ck is going on? ¡°he¡¯s in the sky! his car is in the sky! this, this, this, what is this?¡± ¡°streamer, did you start the page again? his account had just been blocked, yet he opened it again. wasn¡¯t this too f*cking arrogant?¡± ¡°it¡¯s true that you¡¯re brazen, but you don¡¯t plan on keeping your streamer¡¯s alternate account?¡± ¡°good lord, is the host planning to fight the officials to the end?¡± ¡°awesome, the streamer is a man. i¡¯ll turn from a hater to a fan. i¡¯ll follow this!¡± ¡°why did the streamer hang up? can you send me one? i want to ascend to heaven on the spot too.¡± ¡°+1 +1, i want one too!¡± ¡°me too!¡± ¡­ faced with the doubts of the bullet screen, zhou tianhao¡¯s mouth twitched. he suddenly said into the microphone in a panic, ¡°f*ck! didn¡¯t you hear what i said just now? i seem to have disconnected from the internet. also, what¡¯s going on? why am i flying?¡± bullet comments: ¡°???¡± all the bullet comments were stunned. wasn¡¯t this caused by you cheating? however, zhou tianhao¡¯s shock made them skeptical. was it really an accident? as number 56 himself glided through the air, the map was designed to be a smooth road with no obstacles in the middle. after he ascended to a certain height, he formed a parabola and went straight to the finish line! moreover, since they were in the air, their speed, which could reach 300 ¨C 400 km/h on the ground, increased to over 1,000 km/h. this greatly shortened the time needed for the remaining journey. originally, it would have taken about a minute. in the end, he took off from the ground and headed straight for the finish line. the entire process only took about 20 seconds. this time, he couldn¡¯t wait for the other players because he couldn¡¯t stop the car while he was in the air. because he was flying too high, he did not even see the finish line before he crossed the finish line in the air. at this moment, he took his hands off the keyboard and pretended to be at a loss. ¡°what the hell is going on? can you explain it to me?¡± hearing him say this, the bullet screen immediately became more energetic. most of them thought that he was pretending to be stupid and wanted to expose him. ¡°i¡¯ve really seen people who die on the spot. streamer, stop pretending. just wait for your ban!¡± ¡°how can you pretend that you don¡¯t know when you¡¯re cheating like this? the host knows how to cover his ears and steal a bell.¡± ¡°streamer, when you said that it wasn¡¯t a crash due to a bug, i believed you because i saw the principle behind it. the car might have gotten stuck in the wall because there was a problem with the racing model, but how do you explain this?¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes. i¡¯m a programmer. other than cheating, i¡¯ve never seen a bug like this stuck to such an extent. it can even rise to the sky on the spot and pretend not to know.¡± ¡°tsk tsk, the streamer has met an expert. this is great. you¡¯ve been slapped in the face, right?¡± ¡°hahaha, i still like the streamer¡¯s unruly look.¡± .. ¡°i really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡± zhou tianhao¡¯s confused voice rang out. then, he said in an unyielding tone, ¡°if you don¡¯t believe me, i¡¯ll open another one for you to see.¡± he then created a room, selected route 56, and started the game. soon, he explained while controlling the car. ¡°look, i don¡¯t know what happened. i seemed to have lost control of my network just now.¡± ¡°it¡¯s here. i¡¯m following you guys. when my previous account was blocked, it was like this too. i suddenly lost control!¡± at this moment, his racing car had already reached the position where the game had taken off. due to the difference in the way he ran, he arrived a few seconds earlier this time. ¡°it¡¯s here. i suddenly couldn¡¯t move here just now.¡± then, zhou tianhao stopped the car and pretended to be trying to figure out what had happened. the more he read, the more confused he became. could it be that the streamer really didn¡¯t cheat? was everything just a coincidence? ¡°that¡¯s not a problem? could it be a coincidence?¡± zhou tianhao, who had parked the car, sounded confused. the bullet screen started to believe his words. however, the scene just now was too shocking. many of the bullet comments were still unwilling to believe that it was a bug. ¡°i still think this should be a hack!¡± ¡°i think so too. normally, bugs wouldn¡¯t be so ridiculous! ascend to heaven on the spot.¡± ¡°to be honest, if you didn¡¯t pass the finish line, i would have believed you. but you passed the finish line. how are you going to wash it?¡± ¡°indeed, that makes sense. i¡¯ll follow you if you have more words!¡± ¡°host, why don¡¯t you confess? we promise not to report you!¡± ¡°unless i can¡¯t help it¡­¡± .. ¡°i really didn¡¯t cheat. why don¡¯t you believe me?¡± zhou tianhao sounded puzzled. at this moment, the countdown reached 58 seconds, and his hand happened to be on the down key on the keyboard. da! amidst the doubts in the bullet comments and the streamer¡¯s explanation, the car on the screen seemed to have slipped back without pulling the handbrake¡­ in an instant, the car soared into the sky again with the shaking map! ¡°f*ck! why is it flying again!¡± zhou tianhao suddenly shouted, drawing everyone¡¯s attention to the game. on the screen, the racing car was playing the same scene as the qualifying match. he rose to the sky on the spot! at this moment, everyone realized that this might really be another bug! ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. in front of the screen, zhou tianhao, who was grinning from ear to ear, quickly restrained his emotions and pretended to be very proud. ¡°look, look, i told you, i didn¡¯t cheat. this is a bug! it¡¯s really a bug!¡± this time, the bullet screen that witnessed the bug reappearing no longer refuted the streamer and began to remain silent. some even started to apologize. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, host. i misunderstood you.¡± ¡°host, i¡¯m sorry. i didn¡¯t mean to slander you.¡± ¡°host, i¡¯ve withdrawn the report¡­ i can¡¯t remove this. sorry, i¡¯ll follow you and tip you.¡± [user 48437 tipped a crystal ball.] a crystal ball was worth 100 dollars. zhou tianhao was already very sincere to get 50 dollars. ¡°it¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. i almost thought i opened it.¡± zhou tianhao was very magnanimous. then, he started discussing the bug with the bullet screen. ¡°this bug can be triggered twice, which means that it should be a fixed bug and not a coincidence. why don¡¯t we try to find out how the bug is stuck?¡± his words immediately aroused the interest of the bullet screen. ¡°alright, alright. i love studying these fancy things!¡± ¡°sure, this counts as playing a game, and it¡¯s the way to play with dimensional reduction attacks. i like it the most!¡± ¡°hahaha! although i don¡¯t understand this, if i can use this to play with flowers, then why wouldn¡¯t i!¡± .. ¡°hahaha, this bug is fated with me. by the way, do you think i have the potential to be a streamer in the bug area?¡± zhou tianhao laughed. he clicked on the mouse and started route 56 again. .. Chapter 32 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when the game started, zhou tianhao started to look for the bug. ¡°this is it. tell me, where did the bug come from?¡± this time, zhou tianhao deliberately controlled the hovercar to move around in other places. even after 59 seconds had passed, he still hadn¡¯t triggered the bug. at this moment, some ¡®smart¡¯ bullet comments started to speak. ¡°streamer, you chose the wrong position! not here.¡± ¡°yes, i saw it twice. it¡¯s not this place. it seems to be the shortcut in the middle of the sixth slope?¡± ¡°it¡¯s not like that. it¡¯s that place. i saw it clearly twice.¡± ¡°the sixth slope, the middle shortcut? was that so? then i¡¯ll try.¡± zhou tianhao listened to the comments and drove the car to the place where the bug appeared. however, this time, he could not find a bug even after wandering around for a long time. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°no, why?¡± zhou tianhao, who had secretly collected a wave of face slapping points, was very confused. at this moment, the comments started pointing again. ¡°it¡¯s not that position. we have to go a little further.¡± ¡°yes, yes, yes, not here.¡± ¡°just a little bit, just a little bit more.¡± hence, zhou tianhao followed the instructions and drove the car over. ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +!¡± ¡°it still doesn¡¯t work!¡± ¡°come on, understand brother, are the bullet comments okay?¡± zhou tianhao curled his lips and mocked. this time, many of the bullet comments were excited. ¡°the appearance of a bug requires a lot of things. i probably missed it just now and might need to open another round.¡± ¡°yes, i suggest that the streamer replay the first two games twice and remember all the details.¡± ¡°i think so too.¡± .. ¡°yeah, i didn¡¯t expect it when i watched the video. you guys are awesome!¡± zhou tianhao did not expect the bullet screen to reveal details that he did not expect. goose flying car had a background recording function. after each round of the game, it would automatically save the video of that round. if it wasn¡¯t for the bullet comments, he would have forgotten that the game had such a function. as expected, the saying that there was strength in numbers was not just for show. without further ado, he logged out of the game, found the game recording, and opened it. ¡°let¡¯s see. just now, it was almost here that i suddenly felt like i was cut off from the internet.¡± as zhou tianhao spoke, he suddenly remembered something.¡± that¡¯s not right. i didn¡¯t cut off the net when i arrived here. what¡¯s going on?¡±¡± his words stunned the bullet screen. many of the bullet comments couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°damn it, why do i look like i¡¯m doing research when i¡¯m watching a live broadcast so early in the morning?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, my brain is not enough. maybe there¡¯s no bug at all. those two times of flying were all coincidences, right?¡± ¡°how would i know why the internet was cut off just now but not now? you¡¯re the streamer and i¡¯m the streamer?¡± .. in comparison, zhou tianhao was very patient. he repeatedly watched the recordings of the two games and suddenly asked tentatively,¡± ¡°do you think this has something to do with the timing?¡± ¡°look, the time when the first and the second bug appeared at the same time was at the time of 59 seconds.¡± seeing that he had come up with his idea so quickly, many people who liked to research began to express their opinions. ¡°in other words, we have to reach this location at this time to trigger the bug?¡± ¡°very likely. the more complicated the triggering conditions of the bug, the easier it is to trigger. this is because the program will be more complicated to interface with each other, and it will be easier for problems to occur.¡± ¡°my opinion is the same.¡± .. ¡°then i¡¯ll try again.¡± zhou tianhao was like a 260-month-old child who had just gotten a new toy. he started another game excitedly. this time, he grasped the timing and arrived at this location ahead of time under the watchful eyes of the bullet screen. the next step was to wait for 59 seconds. everyone was filled with anticipation at this moment. it was like finding a solution to a math problem and suddenly being enlightened. then, he would write down the calculation process behind the solution. it was full of motivation to get the answer. there were only 5 seconds left from the 59 seconds. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. ¡°take off!¡± zhou tianhao shouted and everyone stared at the screen. however, the disappointing thing was that the car on the screen did not move at all. only the timer had exceeded 59 seconds and was constantly ticking away. ¡°no, what¡¯s going on? why can¡¯t i fly?¡± zhou tianhao was disappointed, and the comments were also very discouraged. it was like calculating a math question and finding out that the answer was wrong at the end. all the previous process was in vain, and it made people lose all their energy in an instant. ¡°don¡¯t waste your energy. it was just a coincidence that you did it twice.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. there¡¯s no fixed way to deal with bug. most of the time, it¡¯s just a coincidence.¡± ¡°there¡¯s really no need to waste your time. streamer, are you playing with water for a long time?¡± .. ¡°what the hell is this? i haven¡¯t even signed a contract.¡± zhou tianhao said angrily. ¡°no. i have to find this bug today.¡± the streamer¡¯s stubbornness left a good impression on the bullet screen, but there were also praises and criticisms. ¡°good job, streamer. you have to be like you when you do things. you have to be unyielding and brave!¡± ¡°host, you can do it. i have high hopes for you. you will definitely be able to find the bug and benefit everyone.¡± ¡°ugh, there are many times when one doesn¡¯t know how useless one is if one doesn¡¯t force oneself¡­¡± ¡°there are many things that you can force yourself to do, but this is like solving a math problem. you can¡¯t do it even if you force yourself to death.¡± .. ¡°i don¡¯t care. i¡¯m going to find it.¡± zhou tianhao was unusually stubborn as he opened the recording again. at this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. ¡°no, there¡¯s already a video. why don¡¯t i copy the video completely before operating it?¡± as soon as he said this, many people who really wanted to know how the bug came out praised him. ¡°666! why didn¡¯t i think of that!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. as long as the bug is real, we can just copy the same operation!¡± ¡°is the streamer really a genius at fixing bug?¡± .. after saying that, he immediately opened the video and began to compare the two. ¡°look here!¡± suddenly, he shrunk the two video windows, placed one on the left and one on the right, and clicked the play button. two identical images began to play at the same time, and there was still one or two seconds left before the 59-second mark. the next moment, the two images showed the exact same operation. the two racing cars lost control at the same time and crashed into the outer wall. at 59 seconds, they retreated a little and then flew into the sky! ¡°f*ck! it¡¯s exactly the same!¡± ¡°it¡¯s really useful! streamer, hurry up! how do i do it again?¡± ¡°hint, keywords, hit the wall, retreat, 59 seconds, these should be triggered at the same time.¡± .. ¡°the bullet screen of this prompt is very reasonable. i¡¯ll give it a try!¡± ¡°hit the wall and retreat at the same time for 59 seconds, right?¡± ¡°okay, okay, remember the name.¡± he pretended to finish memorizing and drove route 56 again. .. Chapter 33 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation they entered route 56 again. after reaching the shortcut of the sixth slope ahead of time, the time had reached 54 seconds. zhou tianhao stopped the car and said, ¡°all the conditions have been met. prepare for the test!¡± the three-second countdown began. ¡°three.¡± ¡°two.¡± ¡°one.¡± ¡°retreat!¡± when the time was up, zhou tianhao pressed the back button under the watchful eyes of all the comments! the next moment, everyone saw the racing car on the screen slide backward. then, the screen began to shake violently. the car suddenly shot up into the sky like a cannonball! the bullet screen instantly went into an uproar! ¡°f*ck! it really got stuck! awesome!¡± ¡°666! streamer, you know about bugs, but you can even come up with the theory behind it. i¡¯m impressed!¡± ¡°hahahaha, the streamer is awesome! you just created a bug yesterday, and you fixed another one right after it was fixed. i think the game manufacturer is going crazy!¡± ¡°host, quick, quick, try again. i want to edit it into a video and send it out!¡± ¡°i want to see it again, i want to see it again!¡± ¡°i want to see it too. the feeling of creating a bug by yourself and appearing by chance is completely different! this is so f*cking awesome!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. it¡¯s so fun. this is what it means to play a game!¡± .. ¡°seeing how enthusiastic you are, i¡¯ll try again!¡± seeing that he had achieved his goal of spreading the bug, zhou tianhao reluctantly started another game. ¡°are you guys done recording? i¡¯m going to start.¡± ¡°ok! everything is ready!¡± ¡°we can start now.¡± ¡°hurry up and drive!¡± .. the bullet screen recorded down, zhou tianhao re-let the car play up, the first day, and then he was ready to go offline. ¡°right, i think bugs are really fun now. if you encounter any bugs in the game in the future, remember to send me a private message. i will make it into a video or show it in a live broadcast.¡± zhou tianhao said all of this to pave the way for the bugs that would appear in the next nine days, so that the source of the bugs could not be explained. ¡°ok!¡± ¡°are the rewards generous?¡± ¡°could it be a slap?¡± ¡°even if it¡¯s a slap, we have to find the bug first.¡± ¡°.. it seems to make sense.¡± after chatting with the bullet screen for a while, zhou tianhao turned off the live stream. this live broadcast lasted for almost two hours and helped him earn nearly 500 to 600 face slapping points. because it was broadcasted in the morning, the popularity was not very high. it was already noon. ¡°let¡¯s order takeout.¡± zhou tianhao opened his phone and ordered a luxurious scallion pancake and a cup of sugar-free milk tea. as there were many shops around the neighborhood, the items were quickly delivered to the door. after finishing his scallion pancake and taking two sips of milk tea, he started to feel sleepy. because of the kidney treasure, he had not slept since last night. however, no matter how good his body was, he would still feel tired if he was awake all the time. now, he felt dizzy. ¡°sleep, sleep. your life is more important.¡± after washing up, zhou tianhao went to bed. .. goose flying car studio. in the technical department. last night, after fixing the bug in ghost shadow perplexing track, it was already midnight. in addition, they chatted to their heart¡¯s content, and it was late at night. for safety¡¯s sake, they decided to spend the night in the company. as programmers, it was common for them to have to stay up all night, so everyone had a blanket in their closet to keep themselves warm. thus, in the early hours of the morning, the man flattened his engineering chair and made do with it, while the woman was given a leather sofa to rest on. he slept until noon. the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, forming a dazzling ray of light on many employees. some people were more unlucky. they happened to be shone on their eyes and quickly woke up from their dreams. one person¡¯s movement woke the others up, and yawns began to echo throughout the technical department¡¯s floor. ¡°yes¡­ this sleep felt more comfortable than sleeping at home.¡± a programmer looked at his colleague next door rubbing the corner of his eye and couldn¡¯t help but stretch. ¡°that¡¯s right. maybe it¡¯s because i¡¯ve been alone for a long time and feel safe with so many people around?¡± another colleague chimed in with a smile. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, i have a girlfriend. we¡¯re talking about something completely different¡­¡± ¡°???¡± .. soon, almost everyone woke up. after washing up, they went to the cafeteria for lunch and began their work for the day. four in the afternoon. ¡°we¡¯re almost done with the content of the new version. there¡¯s nothing else to do next, just a simple test.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. we just need to submit the test data and make sure that there are no major problems.¡± ¡°anyway, there¡¯s nothing much to do. why don¡¯t we apply to the supervisor to get off work early?¡± someone stretched his muscles and complained, ¡°my chair is too hard, and my back hurts from sleeping. i didn¡¯t sleep well, so i want to go back and catch up on my sleep.¡± hearing this, many people¡¯s eyes lit up. although not everyone did not sleep well, who wouldn¡¯t want to get off work early? ¡°i think it¡¯s good.¡± ¡°sure, i didn¡¯t sleep well either.¡± ¡°not bad, feasible.¡± after finding a reason, everyone discussed who should go to the supervisor, shen lei. just as someone was about to volunteer, the door of the technical department was suddenly pushed open. shen lei, with his thick hair that moved slightly when he walked, walked in under everyone¡¯s envious gazes. everyone was delighted when they saw this. speaking of the devil, they were just about to go find him, but there was no need for that now. seeing this, someone immediately smiled and went forward, ¡°supervisor, the work for the new version has been completed. everyone didn¡¯t have a good rest in the company last night, so we want to get off work early. let us go back and catch up on our sleep. what do you think¡­¡± just as this person spoke, shen lei had already walked up to them. at this moment, everyone realized that shen lei¡¯s expression was not right. it was even a little ugly. everyone was stunned. what happened? ¡°you still want to get off work?¡± shen lei glanced at him and walked to the side. he turned on the big screen, connected it to his phone, and played a beeping video. the moment the video started, the screen showed his own game, goose flying car. in the video, the up master had created a room and selected route 56. this was a very popular map and their proudest creation. ¡± i still remember that when this design was created, everyone laughed so hard that they said it would be better to change the name to goose plane. in the end, this design became very popular, and the usage rate was very high¡­¡± one of the programmers laughed, and the others also smiled knowingly. this was the happiness that belonged to them in the past. ¡°still laughing?¡± shen lei shook his head and continued to play the video. no one present could understand why shen lei was unhappy, so they could only continue watching the video. in the video, the up master suddenly stopped when he was driving the hovercar to the shortcut at turn 6. ¡°what happened? why aren¡¯t you running anymore?¡± just as everyone was thinking about the answer to this question, the racing car on the screen suddenly shook. under their puzzled gazes, it soared into the sky! everyone: ¡°???¡± ¡­ Chapter 34 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation after seeing the racing car soar into the sky with their own eyes, everyone except shen lei was dumbfounded! ¡°f*ck! what the hell was this? are you cheating?¡± ¡°he must have opened it. it¡¯s impossible to do it if he doesn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°i think so too¡­¡± as they spoke, their voices became softer and softer. in the end, they all fell silent. they weren¡¯t ordinary people who didn¡¯t know anything. they were top-notch programmers. they were much more knowledgeable than the average person, or else they wouldn¡¯t be able to do this job. therefore, when they saw the video, they were initially shocked and confused. but soon, they realized something. it was not impossible for him to cheat. however, it was more likely that they were unwilling to face the truth. because they knew very well. in the world of bugs, nothing was impossible. going to the sky and going to the ground, piercing through the mold and exploding the machine were all basic operations. there were even some who could dominate an area and be invincible. to put it in human terms, some bugs were very powerful. for example, if an overlord tried to fix it, the entire program would crash. if it was not fixed, it would run very well¡­ therefore, in their eyes, the scene that appeared in the video only surprised them for a moment. it was more because he was afraid of the subsequent bug repair work. after all, they had just escaped from the swamp of a bug! who would be able to withstand this f * cking strike? when the video ended, shen lei glanced at everyone present and sighed.¡± ¡°i know what you¡¯re thinking, but i¡¯ve also said that you have to pay the price for this. this is what you should do and your responsibility.¡± ¡°fortunately, i discovered this bug early. otherwise, if the bug continued to spread, yesterday¡¯s incident would have happened again. moreover, no one can escape this time. do you still want the year-end bonus?¡± after saying that, seeing that everyone was still unhappy, shen lei frowned and said,¡± ¡°i¡¯ll apply for double overtime compensation for you. work hard. the sooner you repair it, the sooner you can go home.¡± ¡°if there are people at home, call back and let them know first so that they won¡¯t worry.¡± hearing this, the programmers present relaxed. ¡°everyone, cheer up. it¡¯s not a big deal. when we were developing the game, it was even worse. how many hours did we sleep a day? we¡¯ve already made it through the time, what¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± someone began to cheer for their colleagues. ¡°that¡¯s right. with our strength, isn¡¯t it just a bug? it¡¯s over if we do it!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. this bug doesn¡¯t look complicated. if we focus our efforts, we¡¯ll definitely be able to solve it very quickly!¡± after a round of cheering, everyone¡¯s spirits were lifted. they were no longer dejected and began to study the bug repair ideas. soon, after the preliminary analysis of the bug in route 56, everyone gathered together and began their analysis. ¡°this bug is much simpler than the previous one. the previous bug triggered so many conditions at the same time and required very high requirements.¡± ¡°every bug is different. how can you compare them? the more you learn, the worse you become.¡± ¡°i looked at the code corresponding to the bug. in their video, the location selection is redundant. only when the car is reversed at a specific time will the error occur.¡± ¡°that¡¯s much simpler. we just need to fix these two items so that they don¡¯t conflict.¡± ¡°the theory is feasible. let¡¯s start practicing.¡± ¡°good luck, good luck! go home early!¡± ¡°good luck!¡± .. after sorting out their thoughts, everyone divided their work and returned to their respective posts to repair their own parts. .. at eight o¡¯clock in the evening, zhou tianhao got out of bed. he looked at the time and realized that he had slept for eight hours. this time, he only slept soundly, but not soundly. because sleeping during the day violated his biological clock and disrupted his rhythm, he did not feel refreshed when he woke up early. however, his body quickly adjusted to this discomfort, and the unpleasant feeling disappeared in an instant. ¡°you still have to go to bed early and get up early to have a regular routine!¡± zhou tianhao sighed. even though his body was no longer the same as before, he was still affected by these things. he could only look forward to the arrival of the second bottle of kidney treasure to give him more surprises. gulp! gulp! gulp! his stomach rumbled and he felt hungry. zhou tianhao picked up his coat and prepared to go out for dinner. it was better to eat less takeout. although he was not afraid of it, he still minded it a little. ¡°i wonder if that bug has been fixed?¡± zhou tianhao picked up his phone and opened beep website. he started searching for the bugs that were spread through his livestream. he clicked on the search bar and entered ¡®goose flying car bug¡¯. dozens of videos popped up. some directly posted the bug¡¯s demonstration video, while others edited his live broadcast content. the most popular video had already reached 500,000 views, and there were thousands of comments. this was already the standard of a small popular video. he clicked on the comments section. he did not look at what the popular comments were but clicked on the order of the comments. there were a few options at the bottom. new post, many likes, many reposts¡­ he clicked on the new post and immediately saw the latest comments. ¡°how satisfying! he rose to the sky on the spot! this map was the first in the ranking competition! (dog head smiling)¡± [time: 1 minute ago.] like 1, tick 0, forward 0¡­ seeing this comment, zhou tianhao knew that unless the comment was boasting, the bug had not been fixed. it had been nearly nine hours since he had released the video, and the bug was still there. was he planning to wait until the next day to fix it? ¡°how arrogant!¡± zhou tianhao couldn¡¯t help but sigh. as expected of a white-bellied goose programmer. wasn¡¯t he afraid that the bug would continue to spread and cause greater losses to the company? after some thought, zhou tianhao felt that the white-bellied goose did not lack money. however, it was only the first day. he would still post nine more bugs, so they could be arrogant. when the game was riddled with holes, they would know that it was time to take it seriously. the video of his account being mistakenly blocked had not been deleted yet, but no one had watched it at all. this was the internet. without popularity, it would not be able to make a splash. as long as the bug kept appearing, the game officials would definitely track down the source. this way, the matter of his account being mistakenly blocked would be taken seriously and unblocked. at this moment, they arrived at their destination. zhou tianhao got out of the car and stood by the roadside. he looked at the big signboard above his head and could not help but swallow. mmm, the fragrance of cumin ~ barbecue food street, he was here. .. goose flying car studio. dong dong dong! the office building, which had become quiet at night, suddenly heard the sound of a few tables being smashed, followed by a few angry roars. ¡°what kind of bug was this? it looked simple, but it actually involved the entire map. this was more work than developing a new version!¡± no wonder no bug appeared when the map would tremble, so it was the reason! i can¡¯t take it anymore! this is so damn tiring!¡± ¡°i can¡¯t take it anymore. i¡¯ve been in front of the computer for almost 20 hours straight. i¡¯m about to throw up! i really can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± hearing the wails of his employees, shen lei, who had been accompanying them, looked down from the ceiling. he covered his forehead and said helplessly, ¡°first, ban the map. don¡¯t allow players to use it. repair it when you have time in the future. otherwise, you¡¯ll all go crazy!¡± .. Chapter 35 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± ¡°pa! face slapping points +1!¡± .. ¡°hmm?¡± zhou tianhao, who had just ordered the skewers, suddenly received a wave of face slapping points. he was instantly puzzled. there weren¡¯t many face slapping points, only a few dozen, but he didn¡¯t seem to have done anything. who was slapped in the face by him? after thinking for a long time, zhou tianhao waited for the barbeque to arrive. he simply started to eat the skewers. in the past, he didn¡¯t dare to order too much meat when he ate barbecue. now, there were only a few vegetarian dishes on the table. roasted mutton, roast beef, roasted kidneys, and grilled oyster were all available. he could only order one thing in the past. he ate a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine until his mouth was full of oil. because he came here on an empty stomach, his appetite was shocking. he quickly ate half of it, and the rest was swiping his phone while drinking snacks. zhou tianhao had the habit of reading novels. after watching a few videos, he clicked on his novel app. after he finished reading the novels that he was following, he habitually looked for novels that could attract him. at this moment, he suddenly saw a new book. there were not many words, only 10,000, and it was just released yesterday. the title of the book is called ¡± after rebirth, i created an ideal game empire.¡± this name immediately attracted his attention. after clicking on it, the content of the first chapter was very much to his liking. in the beginning, the protagonist was persecuted by his superiors in the game company and was reborn. after rebirth, he found that although the network here was developed, his understanding of the game was only at the gaming stage. seeing this, the protagonist also resigned decisively. he no longer suffered from the oppression of his superiors and began to make his own game based on his understanding of the game in his previous life. although the game was a little crude in the beginning, it quickly became popular because of its creativity in online games. after that, there was nothing else. the author was still writing¡­ ¡°not bad. i¡¯ll keep it as a collection. i¡¯ll also give you the recommendation tickets i saved¡­¡± after zhou tianhao added the book to his update list, he thought for a while and added 1,000 yuan to the novel app. the app¡¯s top-up ratio was 1:100, so he instantly had 100,000 yuan in tips. he first tipped the book with 50,000 yuan, then commented, ¡°the book is not bad. it¡¯s for you. if you add more chapters, you¡¯ll be rewarded.¡± however, just as he finished commenting and was about to exit, he suddenly realized that the book had been updated. new chapter title: a new gaming era! (added for haotian!) hao tian was the name of his novel app. ¡°good fellow, you¡¯re squatting here with your manuscript, aren¡¯t you?¡± this kind of update speed was not something that could be done by humans, so the author must have saved the manuscript. he shook his head with a smile and did as he said. he tipped the remaining 50,000 yuan to the book and commented, ¡°write well, don¡¯t enter the palace to be a eunuch.¡± after commenting, he finished reading the chapter. it was still to his liking, so he prepared to leave. however, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the novel app. he glanced at it and realized that someone had replied to his comment. he opened it and found that it was the author. ¡°don¡¯t worry, hahaha. i will not become a eunuch. after all, i do not have that ability¡­¡± zhou tianhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that the author was a girl. ¡°interesting¡­¡± he smiled and exited the novel app. .. it was already midnight when she returned home. because he had slept too long during the day, he was not sleepy at all. considering that there were still system missions to complete and that the eye of disorder had been refreshed, he simply turned on his computer and prepared to look for new bugs. after opening the goose-goose flying vehicle, he muttered in his heart,¡± ¡°eye of disorder, activate!¡± the screen in front of him disappeared, and his vision entered a space filled with complicated code. he had already figured out the idea of finding bugs yesterday. there were two conditions that needed to be met. one was that it was easy to operate, and the other was that it was highly contagious. soon, he found a map that was second only to route 56 in popularity and was also a regular in the ranking competition. this three-star map was called summoner canyon. this was a primeval forest-style map. the track was designed between giant trees and vines. it was like playing in a primeval forest and was very popular among players. then, he touched the red ball of light, and a few simple steps appeared in his mind: entering the hole of the giant tree at the seventh turn of summoner canyon will trigger a cross-mold bug. after knowing the bug, zhou tianhao immediately started the game. after entering the map, when he arrived at the seventh bend, the roots of the giant tree in front of him seemed to have been hollowed out. there was a huge tree hole. zhou tianhao did not hesitate and sped into the car. as soon as he entered, the moss-covered tree hole in front of him instantly turned black. the green scene seemed to have been neatly cut apart. half of it turned black, and the other half was still the scenery of the map, but it had already retreated as he advanced. ¡°good heavens, he directly passed through the map!¡± after saying that, he gracefully turned the corner and braked. he immediately saw darkness in the depths of his body, and not far ahead was a primeval forest that seemed to be in the void. that was the module of the ¡± grand canyon ¡°, and he had already passed through the tree hole and directly passed out of the module! after successfully fixing the bug, zhou tianhao opened the screen recording software on his computer and started a new game. after recording the process of how the bug got stuck, he opened the editing software and spent some time adding subtitles and dubbing. finally, he added the title: ¡± netizen submission, goose flying car ¡®summoner canyon¡¯ has a bug!¡¯ considering that it was still early, and there were not many people who would read it, and releasing a bug in the middle of the night would make people feel that it was too deliberate. he didn¡¯t sleep at night to study bugs, right? therefore, he scheduled the video to be released at seven in the morning. after doing all this, the system mission for the day was basically completed. when the time came, he only needed to pay attention to whether the video had any views and whether the bug had been spread. if he didn¡¯t, with his current popularity, although it wasn¡¯t very high, it wasn¡¯t low either. he just needed to start another live stream and demonstrate how to fix the bug. after shutting down goose flying car, he thought for a while and downloaded another game platform. there were many kinds of games on this platform, some free and some that required money. now that his computer had top-notch specifications, he naturally could not just play goose flying car. he had to expand his game. soon, he set his eyes on a game that had been popular for more than ten years despite being said to be on the decline every day. the game was called summoner league. this was a tower defense game. in university, almost half of the boys who only had computers around them played this game, which showed how popular it was. in fact, he had played it a long time ago, but he gave up in the end. there was no other way. his computer was not equipped enough. it was not that he could not play, but it was very difficult to play. when he played, he had to look at the powerpoint. this was very torturous for him. in the end, he could not stand it anymore and had no choice but to give up. now, he wanted to pick up the game again and find the fun of the past! it was already two o¡¯clock in the evening after he downloaded the game. zhou tianhao, who was not sleepy at all, opened a match with anticipation. he could not play ranked games yet because his level was not high enough. match successful, loading game, loading successful¡­ ¡± welcome to summoner canyon!¡± .. Chapter 36 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation since he had played it before, he had the foundation. even if he hadn¡¯t played for a long time, he could still pick it up quickly. for the first round, he chose a relatively simple champion as practice. however, he realized that the other party was even more inexperienced than him. the whole time, it felt like they were shopping. he didn¡¯t indulge him and turned around to kill him. very quickly, with his understanding of the game and extraordinary talent, he established a huge advantage. this game was essentially a tower pushing game, so he quickly began to use his advantage to tear down the opponent¡¯s defensive tower. but soon, his opponent¡¯s teammates came to stop him, and the two of them chased after him. however, the advantage that zhou tianhao had was not something they could have imagined, so he killed both of them. gradually, his advantage became so great that no one on the other side could stop him. he had also cleared almost all the way to the enemy¡¯s turret, killing his way to the location where the enemy character resurrected, also known as the enemy¡¯s high ground. there was a summoner crystal here that was guarded by the enemy. as long as the crystal was broken, they could win the game. thus, he was like a god of war wandering back and forth on the enemy¡¯s high ground, killing gods and buddhas who stood in his way. when the other side saw him, they turned around and ran. they did not even dare to look at him. they did not even want the crystal. just like that, zhou tianhao won the match with a crushing advantage. since the ranking competition could only be played at level 30, he was only level 25, which was accumulated from playing in the past. therefore, he still needed to level 5 before he could rank. and this level 5 would probably require seven or eight more to match before it could reach level 30¡­ if it took about half an hour¡­to be honest, he didn¡¯t really want to play matchmaking. after the match, he could not obtain points to increase his rank. he could only obtain experience and game coins, which greatly affected his desire to play games. ¡°why don¡¯t you buy an account?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly remembered that gaming accounts were now considered personal property by the law. property could be traded, so the market in this area was very mature. with the support of the law, it was his own. he was not afraid of being found and was safe. zhou tianhao immediately downloaded an account trading software on his phone. after quickly registering an account, he began to filter the accounts of the summoner league in the account trading market. because the game was very popular, there were hundreds of accounts for him to choose from. he didn¡¯t lack money at all, so he could buy a top-grade account. soon, he picked an account worth 8,000 yuan. the summoner league had no level limit, so the level of this account was as high as 1,500. it was sold by a veteran player. high-level characters were accompanied by all the characters and more than 80% of the characters ¡®skins. many skins were even out of print and could not be bought with money. if they were taken out, they would be able to brag like the game! ¡°this is it!¡± because the account owner had already given the platform full authority to buy and sell the account, he only needed to give the money to the platform like when he was shopping at a certain treasure, and the platform could send the account number to him like shipping. moreover, because it was a virtual product, it could be delivered directly online. even if it was one or two o¡¯clock in the middle of the night, the platform could still deliver it automatically. he pressed his finger on the screen. the fingerprint verification was successful, and the payment was successful. when the platform received the money, it automatically sent him the account number and password. there were also some verification information that was bound to his personal identity. these were all necessary measures to prevent the account from being lost. ¡°it¡¯s quite troublesome to get an account.¡± after zhou tianhao settled everything, he realized that it was already three o¡¯clock in the morning. he logged out of the account that originally belonged to him and logged into the new account that he had bought. once the game was loaded, the game was loaded. zhou tianhao checked his account¡¯s information. there were no problems with his level, skin, and character. then, he started the ranking competition. it had been a long time since this account had played ranked matches, so he could only play in ranked matches now. he had to start from scratch, which was equivalent to a newbie entering the pit. soon, the first ranking match was loaded. as his rank was very low, he still went on a killing spree. moreover, he was not brainless. instead, he would think about some of the game¡¯s mechanics and playstyles and eventually figure out his own style. this was his consistent train of thought since he started playing games. in his opinion, what was a true expert in a competitive game? an ordinary expert would definitely have a faster reaction speed than an ordinary person. they could reach a very high level by relying on their skills. this kind of expert relied completely on their talent to survive. once he got older and his reflexes declined, he would immediately fall from the high ranks and would never be able to turn over a new leaf. however, a true expert would not. because a true expert had both control and awareness. the things that consciousness contained could be summarized in two words: everything. the more things your consciousness can accommodate, the more you can do things that others can¡¯t in the game. the most typical ones were the top pro players of the major pro arenas. they were very good at controlling the game, so they knew the mechanics and gameplay of the game like the back of their hands. only in this way, no matter what the situation was, could they be able to handle it with ease and deal with changes without changing. as far as he knew, in the current professional arena of the summoner league, there were some old players who were already old, but they still relied on their top awareness to become first-class players. in this aspect, awareness was even more important than operation! this was zhou tianhao¡¯s understanding and attitude towards games. it turned out that this method was very effective. he used this method to play goose flying car. he would study the race track and find a shortcut. even if there was no shortcut, he would study whether it was faster to reach the finish line by taking the left or right side of the track. in the same level of racing, this was the key factor that could determine the outcome! that was why he could become the god of racing that everyone admired! as he trained himself, zhou tianhao became more and more familiar with the game. the controls became more and more exaggerated, to the point that it was dazzling! zhou tianhao knew that his ability was enhanced by the kidney treasure. but he also knew that if he didn¡¯t take the game seriously, he wouldn¡¯t understand even if he had ten more bottles of kidney treasure. at eight in the morning, zhou tianhao went from iron-level 5 to gold-level 1 with an average of 20 minutes per round and a 100% win rate. in the middle, he even skipped the silver-level because his win rate was too high. he went from iron-level 1 to gold-level 5. in the alliance, this was known as ¡®jumping levels¡¯. only very powerful experts could do this! it was just that no one had witnessed it with their own eyes. otherwise, no matter who came, they could only be described as terrifying when faced with such speed! ¡°rest for a while.¡± zhou tianhao took his hands off the keyboard and picked up his phone. at this time, the video that he regularly posted had been released for an hour. he clicked on it and realized that there were already more than 100,000 views in an hour. this meant that the speed of the broadcast was very good. this way, he no longer needed to livestream to demonstrate the bug to the audience. ¡°take a break and continue!¡± he smacked his lips, got up, and ran to the toilet¡­ .. at the same time. goose flying car studio technology department ¡°oh heavens and earth! what did i do wrong? why did you do this to me?¡± .. Chapter 37 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation goose flying car studio at this moment, all the programmers were dumbstruck. a few of them were holding their heads and wailing. they had just banned route 56 last night and slept. when they woke up, shen lei came to them and released the bug in summoner canyon. ¡°who is it? who is it? is it deliberately targeting us?¡± ¡°i can¡¯t take it anymore. i haven¡¯t even left the company¡¯s entrance until now. i¡¯m going crazy!¡± ¡°is this f*cking over? why was there another one right after the first one? was this something that humans would do?¡± ¡°alright.¡± at this moment, shen lei, who was at the back, stopped them. he muttered, ¡°the ban on route 56 has seriously affected the company¡¯s interests. if new bugs continue to appear, it will be a devastating blow to the entire game. we have to think of a way to stop the source of the bugs.¡± when the others heard this, they also calmed down. ¡°supervisor, are we going to call the police?¡± ¡°no.¡± shen lei shook his head and said, ¡°there¡¯s no point in calling the police. this bug itself is a technical error on our part. the fundamental error is on us. if we leave the bug alone and go to the police to arrest the person who discovered the bug, what¡¯s the point?¡± ¡°this is like going to steal, but the owner¡¯s house is empty. in the end, we call the police and ask them to arrest the owner because they are too poor?¡± ¡°..¡± shen lei covered his forehead.¡± something like that.¡±¡± the people present were all elites in the industry. after saying that, they understood that calling the police would not help. it would even affect the game¡¯s reputation and be scolded by the players for not doing anything. ¡°then what should we do?¡± ¡± unless we recruit more programmers to fix bugs,¡± someone said with a blank expression.¡± how else can we solve this situation?¡± he¡¯s not the one in the wrong, we are. can we still retaliate?¡± ¡°i can.¡± shen lei suddenly thought of something and stood up.¡± but this matter can¡¯t be solved by us alone. we need the help of other departments.¡± after saying that, he looked around and saw the tired employees present. he said seriously, ¡°cheer up. the moment of life and death for the company has arrived!¡± as soon as he said this, everyone was shocked and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. ¡°wait for my news here. i¡¯ll go and ask the general manager!¡± shen lei quickened his pace and left the technical department. half an hour later, luo wei, the general manager of goose flying car studio, called for an emergency department meeting. all the supervisors had to be present within an hour. those who did not show up would be fired. the company implemented a 10 am to 5 pm system. it was not even 9 pm yet. once the news was out, all the department heads of goose flying car rushed to the company regardless of where they were, whether they were in bed or in the toilet. fortunately, the morning rush hour was approaching the end of the day, so they were not stuck in a traffic jam. the original rule of going to work at ten in the morning was to avoid the morning rush hour. this early emergency meeting almost scared them to death. when everyone rushed into the meeting room, regardless of gender, they were all drenched in cold sweat. ¡°very good, since everyone is here.¡± luo wei, who had arrived at the company at seven o¡¯clock in the morning, sat in the main seat. he crossed his hands and rested his chin on them. he said in a deep voice, ¡°then let¡¯s begin. this meeting is about everyone¡¯s life and death.¡± the moment he said this, other than the public relations department and the technical department, all the supervisors ¡®pupils dilated in shock. they had only slept for a moment. how was it related to life and death? what exactly happened? at this moment, shen lei, who had been organizing documents in the conference room, stood up and connected a video to the big screen. after clicking play, he said, ¡°the cause of everything came from this video¡­¡± .. at noon, the door of the conference room was opened, and all the supervisors walked out. everyone¡¯s eyes were extremely solemn. when shen lei mentioned that if the bug continued to spread, the game would lose 90% of its paying players, they realized the seriousness of the matter. this was indeed related to their life and death! after coming out, all the supervisors quickly returned to their posts and began to implement the final decision made in the meeting: 1. the public relations department was responsible for the docking of the beep station, deleting videos related to bugs, preventing the videos from spreading, and applying to the head office to put pressure on the beep station when necessary. the white-bellied goose corporation was the major shareholder of beep station and had a lot of say. 2. the technical department temporarily suspended all the projects in their hands. all the programmers tried their best to fix the bugs to prevent the company from causing greater losses. 3. the legal department revised the original user contract and added new regulations: if the game bug was maliciously spread, the company had the right to hand over the bug communicator to the relevant department and demand that the communicator compensate the company for all losses. 4¡­ .. those who could enter the goose flying car were the elites of the industry. once this group of people gathered together, the power they could unleash was definitely not to be underestimated. in just two hours, he had made a response. the effects of the first and second rules were very obvious. it was necessary to delete the video about the bug and stop the bug from spreading. otherwise, they would suffer a huge loss if they delayed it for even a second. it was also a must to fix the bug so that it would no longer pose a threat to the game environment. however, the third condition was the most important. it was proposed by shen lei. when the head of the legal department heard it, he was ashamed. as a member of the legal department, he could not think of such a method. however, although the decision was made at the meeting, the company¡¯s revision of the contract regulations needed to be reviewed by the relevant departments. it would take time, but with the power of the white belly goose company, it was only a matter of time before the review was passed. moreover, the speed was faster than other companies. it would take a few days at the latest. normally, it would take a few months. once this rule was implemented, even if players discovered a bug, they could not spread the bug. otherwise, they would be punished by the law. the other decision was to do some supplementary things, purely to not let them be too idle. otherwise, at the moment of life and death, would you be slacking off like that? public relations department. supervisor yuan haichuan walked into the office and assigned several tasks in succession. he contacted beep station¡¯s official website and deleted the video of the bug. at the same time, he banned the video account of the person who spread the bug¡­ although the contract had not yet fallen, as long as the company put pressure on beep website, they could find a reason to temporarily ban it, such as a dispute. the main purpose was to prevent the communicator from continuing to publish new bugs. after shen lei¡¯s investigation, they already knew that this up had started to be called a bug streamer. he used the bonus mechanism to call on netizens to vote for him when they discovered bugs. there were tens of millions of netizens. even they couldn¡¯t guarantee that the netizens wouldn¡¯t find a bug, so it was necessary to ban this streamer! .. riches garden. zhou tianhao played a dozen more rounds and upgraded the summoner league from gold level 5 to gold level 1. his win rate was still a shocking 100%. he looked at the time and realized that it was already 2 pm. ¡°i stayed up all night again. i have to change this habit.¡± after zhou tianhao made up his mind to change his routine, he picked up his phone and opened beep station to see how many views he had. however, as soon as he clicked on it, he realized that his video account actually showed a big red exclamation mark! the next sentence made him very confused. ¡± your account is involved in a dispute and has been temporarily banned!¡¯ zhou tianhao: ¡°???¡± .. Chapter 38 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation when zhou tianhao saw that his beep station account had been banned, he was confused. what was going on? my account is gone again? what was going on? because his account was blocked, he could only use beep station without logging in. although they could still watch videos, they couldn¡¯t comment on them, and there was no big data to push videos that suited their tastes. however, he soon realized that something was wrong. he realized that all the videos related to the bug in goose flying car on beep station had disappeared! this situation made him realize that the goose-goose flying car officials might have made a move! otherwise, beep station itself would not care about such things. he could not think of any other reason. with his account gone, not only could he not post videos, but he could also not broadcast live¡­none of this actually mattered. he could guess that the official¡¯s goal was to prevent the bug from continuing to spread and cause a greater impact. these were all methods to prevent the situation from expanding. they were things that were beyond reproach. however, what he cared about was whether his goose flying car account had been unsealed. there was a video of the account that was mistakenly blocked under his video account. since the official website had personally banned his video account, it was very likely that the official website had seen this video. the evidence inside was sufficient to prove that he had been wrongly sealed. it didn¡¯t matter if beep station¡¯s account was blocked. he just wanted to see goose flying car¡¯s account unblocked. what he wanted was the government¡¯s attitude. as long as the government was honest and unsealed, he was willing to reconcile with the government. although he still had to release the bug for the system mission later, he could find some unimportant bugs to make up the numbers. he wasn¡¯t someone who was deliberately looking for trouble. if it weren¡¯t for the official after-sales service being too perfunctory, he wouldn¡¯t have gone to such an extent. zhou tianhao sat in front of his computer and tried to open the goose flying car¡¯s login interface. he entered his account password. he clicked on the login button and the game began to load. a few seconds later, the game interface came out. before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately saw a pop-up window. [due to your account being suspected of violating the rules, your account has been terminated on september 15th, 2024 at 10:05 points banned, release date: september 15th, 2034, 10:05 points¡­] ¡°..¡± zhou tianhao looked at the screen expressionlessly. he suddenly closed his eyes, shook his head, and said,¡± ¡°looks like you guys are planning to go all out?¡± ¡°then i¡¯ll accompany you to the end!¡± he was really impressed. not only did the goose flying car official website not unseal his account, but they also blocked his beep station account. this meant that not only did they not want to admit that there was a problem with their detection system, but they also wanted to personally kill him in the cradle and prevent him from having the ability to continue spreading bugs. it was different from a game account. nowadays, social media basically tied an account to an id card. it was indeed impossible for him to create a second beeping station account. ¡°hehe, well done. this time, we can fight to the death!¡± he didn¡¯t know if it was because of the kidney treasure, but although he was very angry now, his emotions were abnormally calm. he didn¡¯t vent his emotions into vulgarities like before. ¡°a dog that bites doesn¡¯t bark¡­is that what you mean?¡± zhou tianhao laughed at himself. he was so calm that he was a little scared. shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it. instead, he turned off the beeping station and turned on the battle sound. he was going to counterattack! it was true that the goose flying car official website was backed by an internet giant like the white-bellied goose. it had huge power and a deep foundation. however, he was not the only internet giant. dou yin was one of those who could rival him. behind him stood another internet giant, the blue symbol. this was a big brother who had been working on the internet for many years. his businesses were all over the world, and his strength was unfathomable. more importantly, he was a competitor of the white-bellied goose. due to the rise of battle voice in the short videos industry, the status of the blue characters in the country was not much weaker than that of the white-bellied goose. no matter how powerful the white-bellied goose was, it would not be able to reach into the territory of its competitors. now, he was going to use this to continue posting the bug in goose flying car on the battle sonar! he wasn¡¯t afraid that no one would watch it, because he already had a video of the goose flying car on douyin. that was the original running video of ghost shadow perplexing track. this video had millions of views, which meant that there were many goose flying car players in dou yin. there was no need to worry about the bug not being able to spread! he opened battle voice and clicked submit. at the same time, he uploaded videos of how to fix the bugs in both ¡°route 56¡± and ¡°summoner canyon¡±. soon, the video of road no. 56 was the first to pass the review. because he had nearly 200,000 fans, his video was quickly commented on. ¡°eh, this map is banned. why is there still a bug?¡± zhou tianhao was stunned. he really didn¡¯t know about this. he could only say that he was a good guy. he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to fix the bug of the goose flying car company and directly banned the operation of the map. then, he deleted the ¡®route 56¡¯ video that had just passed the review. at this time, summoner canyon¡¯s video was also approved, and soon, there were comments. ¡°wow, grandpa, grandpa, emperor haotian has a new video. i¡¯ll like it first before watching it!¡± ¡°wow, emperor clearsky actually remembered the password!¡± ¡°finally, it has appeared, bringing the running method of the other maps! he¡¯s really¡­i¡¯ll cry to death!¡± these were all comments before they even watched the video. after a while, there were more and more comments. ¡°damn, i thought it was the new running method of summoner canyon, but it really is a ¡®new¡¯ running method. this running method is really ridiculous! did you go to the other world?¡± ¡°f*ck! could this map be played like this? i¡¯ll try!¡± ¡°i¡¯m online waiting for you to come back and comment after you¡¯ve finished testing!¡± ¡°+1! waiting online!¡± zhou tianhao was relieved to see that the number of views had been increasing since the video was released. this meant that his guess was correct. the battle notes could be used as a second place for the bug to spread. this also indirectly showed how popular douyin was. if it were beep, it would be difficult to see comments without waiting for an hour or two, unless it was a up master with a particularly high number of fans. soon, those who had tried the bug returned to comment. ¡°f*ck, f*ck! it really worked! moreover, this thing could be used in ranked games! do you understand what i mean?¡± ¡°really? f*ck! i¡¯ll try it too!¡± ¡°i can¡¯t outrun my opponents every time i play this map, causing me to be stuck at gold. after watching this, i feel like i can do it too!¡± ¡°charge, charge, charge! was this a bug? this was the first time he had seen such a ridiculous operation! loved, loved, loved, loved, lovey-dovey! ¡°although i don¡¯t play goose flying car, i¡¯ll download one immediately for this bug!¡± .. at four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, zhou tianhao put down his phone after confirming that the bug could be spread again. he found a change of clothes and took a shower. after washing up, he took a towel and rubbed his hair. he subconsciously picked up his phone and turned on the battle sound, ready to see how the bug spread. in the end, she was shocked when she saw it. the comments section was filled with curses! ¡°no! i can¡¯t get in at all. i can¡¯t even get in when the front of my car is smashed. is this video a special effect?¡± ¡± deceive,¡± all ¡°" ¡± ¡°what bullsh*t god, using a fake bug to fool us! doesn¡¯t your f*cking conscience hurt?¡± .. Chapter 39 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation after zhou tianhao took a shower, the comments on the video changed. almost all of them were scolding him. ¡°what¡¯s going on? the bug is useless?¡± zhou tianhao looked at the comments with doubt. he realized that before he took a shower, which was 20 minutes ago, there were many players who had successfully blocked the bug and sent him feedback. however, the comments started to change about ten minutes after he took a shower. at first, some players complained that the video was fake. they couldn¡¯t get out at all, and they couldn¡¯t enter the tree hole at all. ¡°could it be that the bug was fixed so quickly?¡± zhou tianhao frowned. he sat in front of the computer and turned on the goose flying car. after logging in, he immediately played summoner canyon. when he arrived at the huge tree hole again, he sped up with doubt. bang! this time, the front of his car collided with the outer wall of the track in front of the tree hole. an invisible wall of air completely blocked the tree hole, making it impossible to enter from any angle. in this way, he could confirm that the bug had indeed been fixed. zhou tianhao realized a problem when he saw the comments on battle voice. that was, the trouble he had caused for goose-goose flying car had been resolved. even though the bug in road 56 had not been fixed, the players could still block the map and prevent players from using it. he had already used up the number of times he could use the eye of disorder today, so he could only create a new bug tomorrow. it wasn¡¯t even five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, and there were still more than seven hours until tomorrow. this would give the goose flying car official time to catch their breath and rest. ¡°system, what level of importance is that?¡± zhou tianhao suddenly shouted at the system. he knew that the system had been upgraded and had become more humane. it should respond to him. he wanted to know what level the system¡¯s mission of ¡®making goose flying car pay attention to¡¯ needed to reach. compared to the first bug in ghost shadow perplexing track, which took an entire day to fix, summoner¡¯s canyon only took nine hours to fix. as for route 56 being banned, they would definitely have to pay something, and the price would probably not be small. the reason why he asked the system was to know if forcing an originally lazy company to such an extent was considered to have made them pay attention. if that was the case, then the system had already fulfilled the ¡®value¡¯ condition in the quest. he didn¡¯t need to press any further. he just needed to wait for the eye of disorder to respawn and then gather the remaining bugs. but if it didn¡¯t count, he had to think of a way to not give goose-goose flying vehicle any room to breathe. at this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. this made him happy. it was indeed useful. ¡°this system doesn¡¯t think so. as long as the host¡¯s goose flying car account hasn¡¯t been unsealed for a day, it¡¯s enough to show their arrogance. therefore, this system has stipulated that the actual standard for this mission is that the host¡¯s goose flying car account has been successfully unsealed!¡± zhou tianhao pondered for a few seconds and asked, ¡°can you tell me how to truly make people pay attention to me?¡± the system was silent for a few seconds before saying,¡± ¡°the degree of importance depends on your value.¡± ¡°value is the sum of ability, wealth, and status.¡± ¡°i understand. thank you.¡± after zhou tianhao finished speaking, the system fell silent. he got up and left the computer. he sat on the sofa in the living room, half-sitting and half-lying. he faced the ceiling, closed his eyes, and began to think. the eye of disorder was still on cooldown, and there were seven hours left before midnight. what could he do in these seven hours? wait? no, this would only give them time to fix the bug. this way, even if he released a new bug tomorrow, they would be able to fix it with ease. they could be said to have entered combat mode. they were probably waiting for him to release a new bug and fix it immediately. in this way, not only would his account not be unsealed, but they would also continue to improve it due to the bug. this would make the game even more perfect, and in the end, it would fulfill their wishes. then, the outcome might be the failure of the mission. this was definitely not the ending he wanted. as the owner of the system, he would really be nailed to the pillar of shame if the mission ended up like this¡­ but what could he do to make them lose all their fighting spirit? zhou tianhao thought of the famous wars in history. the only war that could make people lose their will to fight was a nuclear war. thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but think of a famous saying: ¡°when others think you have nuclear weapons, you better really have them!¡± at this moment, zhou tianhao opened his eyes and smiled. he jumped up from the sofa and sat in front of the computer. he opened the background of douyin¡¯s video and clicked submit. when he chose to upload the video, he opened the local hard drive of his computer. there was the first video he had posted on beep station, and it was also the video that was mistakenly blocked on the day his goose flying car account was blocked. this time, he changed the title from ¡± don¡¯t click on it, ten years of racing god has been banned for no reason!¡±change it to ¡°why? the god of racing for ten years was conferred the title for no reason!¡± he clicked upload and the video quickly passed the review. this time, he didn¡¯t read the comments. instead, he turned off the battle voice and didn¡¯t care. he ordered another takeaway and opened the summoner alliance. he was actually playing a qualifying match. and from the looks of it, his expression was filled with satisfaction, completely without the sense of urgency he had at the beginning. .. goose flying car studio. in the technical department. all the programmers who were ready to go had already started to fix the bugs in route 56 internally. however, as soon as a new bug appeared, they immediately stopped what they were doing and began to fix the new bug. in order to maintain his condition, shen lei had already sent over ten boxes of coffee and red paper to deal with the incoming bug. they knew very well that the bug would definitely appear again. this was because before the contract that the legal department applied for to prevent the spread of bugs passed the review. the up master¡¯s actions were not wrong. he had the right to do so. in order to prevent losses, they used their connections to temporarily ban this up¡¯s video account and delete all videos related to the bug. although they were the ones in the wrong, the up could only swallow his anger. he could not take legal measures to protect his rights. it was a waste of energy to resort to legal means in front of nanshan pizza hut. as such, the up master¡¯s only method was to collect new bugs and publish them, causing trouble for them and using them to fight against them. after understanding the reason, all the programmers present felt a surge of strength in their hearts, as if their previous fatigue had dissipated. who were they? to be able to work in a company under the white belly goose, they were undoubtedly the elites in the industry. they had their own pride. at this moment, if someone tried to challenge them, they would let this person know what it meant to be an ant trying to shake a tree and overestimating their own strength! even if he had the support of thousands of netizens to help him find bugs, they were not afraid. this was a battle of attrition! as long as they delayed until the contract was approved, they could directly call the police to arrest this person. in front of the law, no one would cause trouble. when that time came, it would be their all-round victory! ¡°boss, this person has uploaded a video again!¡± at this moment, the staff in charge of monitoring the up¡¯s douyin account shouted. everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and prepared to tackle the new bug. however, when everyone looked over, they saw the employee suddenly ask in puzzlement, ¡°but this doesn¡¯t seem to be a bug video¡­he¡­ he admitted defeat! he¡­ he¡¯s begging us!¡± .. Chapter 40 translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation ¡°beg us?¡± in the technical department, the programmers who were originally sitting upright were all stunned when they heard this. wasn¡¯t this their fault? shouldn¡¯t this up be fighting them head-on? why was he begging for mercy? just this? everyone got up and went to the monitor¡¯s computer. after the afternoon meeting, they all knew the cause and effect of the matter. naturally, he had only seen the original video. the headline was: don¡¯t click in! the god of racing for ten years was actually conferred for no reason! however, the title of the video was: why? the god of racing for ten years was actually conferred for no reason!¡± although the content of the video was the same, there were no changes except for the title. however, the attitude expressed in the video was different. ¡°don¡¯t click in¡± was the change. he wanted everyone to come and take a look. his attitude was very firm. but why? after that, his attitude softened completely. why? why did he express his unwillingness and anger? at the same time, this also meant that he could only complain. he was already at his wits ¡®end! seeing this, everyone immediately revealed a knowing and proud smile. they were once again glad that they were working for this internet giant. otherwise, if it were an ordinary company, they would have been tortured to the point of bankruptcy. previously, there had been an artist who felt that he had a lot of influence who had tried to put pressure on beep station and delete certain videos. however, he had failed and even attracted ridicule from the entire internet. therefore, this kind of thing was not something that ordinary people or even companies could do. it had to be an existence with deep influence like the white-bellied goose. ¡°i thought he was a big shot, but i didn¡¯t expect him to die so quickly.¡± ¡°indeed, i was ready to go bald, but he actually gave up.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. i thought he had many tricks up his sleeve. it seems that he was just lucky.¡± the opponent had already admitted defeat, so they started to laugh at him. at this moment, someone exclaimed,¡± ¡°what a pity. if he didn¡¯t touch that thing, the account might actually be able to solve¡­¡± halfway through, he suddenly stopped. everyone was looking at him expressionlessly, as if they were looking at a precious species. he quickly laughed and said, ¡°hahaha, just treat it as me farting just now. that kind of thing is impossible.¡± after he finished speaking, everyone nodded in tacit agreement and stopped looking at him. the person who spoke also felt a lingering fear. they had almost forgotten that this was a fact that they absolutely did not want to face. it was also the ultimate reason why they could not unseal the goose flying car account even though they knew that the evidence in the video was sufficient and that he had been banned by mistake. back to the main topic. in the eyes of all the programmers, they had won this battle. originally, they thought that this would be a tough battle that would take a long time. in the end, the other side surrendered, which caught them off guard. ¡°i¡¯m dying of laughter. now you know how to beg for mercy? where did you go earlier?¡± ¡°why? does he think that we will unseal his account and let the matter rest at this point?¡± ¡°that¡¯s impossible. we still have to use this to force him to release new bugs that don¡¯t threaten us. as soon as the contract was approved, they would immediately call the police and arrest him! let him know the consequences of offending a big company!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. he probably panicked when he saw that we fixed the bug so quickly. he felt that he couldn¡¯t give us any pressure and wanted to calm this farce down.¡± ¡°i think so too. route 56 was banned by us, and the repair method for summoner canyon was so simple that it could be solved by adding an air wall. he probably didn¡¯t have any new bugs in a short period of time, so he chose to do this. now i want to stop, i want to be too beautiful!¡± ¡°we should arrest him!¡± ¡°if it weren¡¯t for him, would we have stayed in the company for so many days?¡± someone said through gritted teeth. until now, he had never stepped out of the company! i feel like i¡¯m going to rot! i¡¯ve forgotten what the sun looks like.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. he deserves it! he had nothing better to do, but he was actually studying how to block bugs. it was really a long-lived experience!¡± ¡°i gave you a chance, but you¡¯re useless!¡± this group of programmers had been suppressed for a long time. now that they saw their opponent admit defeat, they naturally retaliated with their mouths. they were forced to sleep in the company for a few days. if the company hadn¡¯t made a decision in the end and greatly relieved their pressure, they would have collapsed. now that he had a way to vent, he naturally spat it out. ¡°alright.¡± shen lei, who had a head full of thick hair, shouted at the group of people to stop. ¡°you¡¯re a noble, so watch your words.¡± the supervisor spoke, and everyone tactfully began to restrain themselves. however, they still could not suppress the excitement on their faces. ¡°..¡± shen lei shook his head helplessly and looked at the computer screen.¡¯the title was still vivid in his mind. his thoughts were no different from the others. he also felt that this person should not have retreated. although he had the support of the netizens, no matter how powerful they were, it would take time to find new bugs. he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to come up with a new bug in a short period of time, so he did this. with this period of time as a buffer, they could recover their spirits no matter what. in front of a group of energetic top programmers, there was no bug that couldn¡¯t be fixed. this was their confidence. however, he felt that something was wrong. not long ago, he was still in a frenzy, with bugs coming one after another. now, he immediately admitted defeat¡­it was a little too fast. even if he admitted defeat, at least he would have to wait for a while, right? he raised his head and glanced at the employees in front of him. although they were smiling, the fatigue in their eyes could not be hidden. there were even some people who had already leaned back in their chairs and started to doze off. they were simply too tired. the mental and physical pressure on them made them extremely exhausted. seeing this, shen lei finally suppressed the words ¡®wait a bit more¡¯ in his mouth and changed his words,¡± ¡°everyone.¡± seeing that everyone was looking over, he smiled and said,¡± ¡°get ready to go home and have a good sleep.¡± after two seconds of silence, everyone raised their hands and cheered loudly! ¡°ohhhhhh!¡± ¡°long live the supervisor!¡± ¡°the supervisor loves you!¡± ¡°we¡¯re home, we¡¯re finally home!¡± ¡°damn it, i¡¯m going to suffocate to death!¡± ¡°home, i want to go home!¡± .. after shen lei reported the specific situation to luo wei, the company¡¯s state of emergency was lifted. when luo wei heard that the up master¡¯s game account could not be unsealed for some reason, he said worriedly, ¡°in that case, as long as this account is not unsealed, he might still be able to make a comeback with a new bug?¡± ¡°theoretically, yes.¡± unlike shen lei, luo wei had his own considerations, so he said,¡± ¡°give them three times the salary and let them continue to stay in the company. before the contract is reviewed, if they are not around, i¡¯m afraid there will be problems. don¡¯t worry, as long as this matter is over, there will be additional compensation.¡± shen lei naturally had to listen to the general manager. therefore, when he returned to the technical department, he told his subordinates what luo wei had said. although he had three times the salary and compensation, there was still a wave of complaints. ¡°impossible, absolutely impossible! how could he have a bug?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. what¡¯s the point of creating a new bug when he knows that the result is destined to fail?¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. he knows this very well, that¡¯s why he posted this begging video. otherwise, how could he admit defeat?¡± ¡°what a sin! who could withstand being backstabbed by the general manager?¡± ¡± i want to go home!!!¡± .. at midnight, zhou tianhao lay on the bed and opened his eyes. ¡°eye of disorder, activate!¡± ¡­
