In a luxurious standalone villa in Magic City.
Inside a room filled with various high-tech electronic devices.
Gao Liming sits at his computer desk.
His fingers rapidly clatter across the keyboard.
His brows are furrowed tightly.
“The hacker the Dragon King encountered is almost as skilled as me, damn it! Damn it!”
“How many layers of encryption and protection does this have?!”
“It’s been the whole afternoon, and I still haven’t cracked it.”
Gao Liming grumbles.
He glances at the progress bar on the monitor.
It’s truly heartbreaking!
It’s been stuck at 37% for a long time.
Gao Liming takes a sip of milk to recharge.
His young face is filled with determination.
“I’m a master of offense, I refuse to believe I can’t break through your defenses!”
“Let’s change the strategy, first intercept your information, then analyze the data!”
Magic City.
A messy room that resembles a dog’s den.
“Haha, little mouse, you dare to play offense and defense with your grandma?!”
“Watch your grandma destroy you.”
Gao Liyuan has dark circles under her eyes, but her face is brimming with excitement.
She stares at the constantly refreshing stream of information.
Her fingers fly across the keyboard.
The defense station she built has been reinforced.
Not only that.
It’s also equipped with powerful software viruses.
These software viruses.
Are all concocted by Gao Liyuan herself.
Once the other side breaches 50%.
These viruses will invade the opponent’s computer.
Ruthlessly destroying and stealing the information inside.
“Haha, gotcha!”
“Nice try, little buddy, but get ready for grandma’s custom-made software viruses.”
Gao Liyuan gulps down a mouthful of ice-cold soda.
Feeling a sense of exhilaration.
During the process of reinforcing the defense station.
It’s easier to attack.
After all, even the tightest defenses have vulnerabilities.
While making adjustments.
The opponent won’t just sit idly by.
Waiting for you to finish upgrading the defense station.
That’s impossible.
“Hahaha… let’s see how smug you are now.”
Gao Liming laughs uncontrollably as the progress bar on the screen speeds up visibly.
43%… 46%… 48%… 50.01%
Just as Gao Liming is feeling triumphant.
Numerous dubious pop-up windows flood his computer screen.
These terrifying viruses.
Instantly break through the defense station he built.
In just twenty to thirty seconds.
The computer’s CPU starts smoking.
“Damn it! You’re playing dirty with me?!”
Gao Liming is so angry he could spit blood.
He quickly inserts a delicate USB drive into the computer.
The pop-up windows finally stop appearing.
Gao Liming checks the situation first.
Fortunately, the defense station he built.
Managed to withstand the attack.
No information was leaked.
Gao Liyuan purses her lips, “Did that guy just get lucky? I couldn’t steal a single piece of information.”
“This isn’t fun anymore.”
“Let’s just set up a new virtual battlefield and have some fun with that guy.”
She acts on the thought immediately.
This is a gamble.
Gao Liyuan could choose to stay defensive.
The other side wouldn’t be able to do much.
But once she enters the virtual battlefield.
If she makes a mistake.
The other side will get her information.
The same goes for the other side.
If the person who enters makes a mistake during the battle.
Gao Liyuan can also obtain their information.
Soon, a temporary virtual battlefield is set up.
Gao Liyuan is the first to enter.
“Oh? You’ve got some guts! Why not just stay defensive?”
“Little girl, you’re way too confident in your skills!”
“Let’s go!”
When the virtual battlefield is set up.
Gao Liming also sees it on his side.
Without hesitation, he charges in.
At this point, whoever backs off is a coward!
Both sides engage in a life-and-death chase.
While simultaneously building defenses and launching attacks.
Since Gao Liyuan and Gao Liming prefer offense.
They don’t focus much on building defense stations.
So they keep attacking each other endlessly.
This virtual battlefield doesn’t last long before it’s destroyed.
Both sides end up in a draw.
“Impressive! But don’t underestimate me.”
Gao Liming sets up a new virtual battlefield.
Almost instantly after the battlefield is created.
Gao Liyuan enters.
Both sides once again engage in an intense offensive battle.
From afternoon until night.
Gao Liming has taken a body-enhancing potion he created himself.
But age is still a factor.
After so many high-intensity battles.
His body is starting to give out.
This virtual battlefield is who knows how many they’ve been through.
This time, Gao Liming doesn’t last long after entering.
He wants to escape.
It’s like leading a fully equipped army.
Both sides are evenly matched.
But shortly after the battle begins.
He abandons his armor and equipment.
Taking his people and running away.
On the other side, Gao Liyuan’s eyes are bloodshot.
She quickly notices Gao Liming’s unusual behavior.
“Haha… trying to run?”
“Stay here, grandma!”
“Hand it over!”
Gao Liyuan’s army turns around.
Killing everything in their path.
No one can stop them.
They charge back with full force.
Gao Liming, forced into a corner, hastily builds a defense station.
Hoping to buy some time to escape.
But Gao Liyuan’s offensive tactics aren’t so easy to defend against.
The newly built defense station is destroyed almost immediately.
Gao Liming flees without looking back.
Running toward the exit.
If he can escape.
He’ll never choose to confront her head-on again.
“Today, either your location gets exposed, or all the files on your computer are gone.”
“Choose one, grandma.”
“Keep your legs or your arms?”
“Damn it, if you want to keep nothing, go eat shit.”
Gao Liyuan’s cheeks flush with an indescribable pink hue.
Her eyes gleam.
Her emotions are inexplicably excited.
This is her true self.
Don’t ask why a girl likes to curse.
It’s because when playing games.
She’s encountered too many idiot teammates.
If there were no mute mechanisms.
Gao Liyuan would have verbally destroyed them to the point of questioning their existence.
Making them regret being born into this world.
“Ahhhhhhh… damn it!”
Gao Liming’s eyes are moist, he’s already crying.
He regrets it.
He should have stopped earlier.
But now it’s too late.
Everything on his computer is important.
Even if he formats it quickly.
The other side will still break in first.
And back up the files.
Even if they’re incomplete.
The information contained in them is crucial.
Gao Liming doesn’t want to reveal a single piece.
Because it’s uncertain.
He can’t guarantee whether Gao Liyuan will get the most important one.
“Screw it, I’ll take the hit!”
Gao Liming grits his teeth and chooses to expose his location!
Exposing the location.
Isn’t because he’s worried Gao Liyuan will come after him.
But because once the location is exposed.
The other side will gain a lot of information about his network situation.
Making it easier to attack his computer in the future!
