I Am A Prodigy

[Damn, that’s amazing. Is this really something Hacker Y did all by himself?]

[Holding off an entire army by himself. That’s how a man should be!]

[Our countrymen are absolutely amazing. Hahaha, I’m so proud!]

[Those from the Stick Nation better learn their lesson this time. They should know that China is not to be offended!]

[This kind of loss is enough for the Stick Nation to feel it deeply but I don’t think it’s enough. If Hacker Y would keep it up, then they will truly be in deep sh*t!]

[I say, Hacker Y is showing them mercy. Such magnificence!]

[Jiangbei sends our regards.]

[Hong Kong sends our regards.]

…

The Chinese network was incredibly busy. People from all major regions sent in their regard, flooding the comment section.

On the other hand, those from the Stick Nation were dumbfounded, unable to believe their own eyes.

‘What?’

‘This is the loss we suffered?’

‘How can the losses be this bad!?’

Nobody could imagine a single computer virus, a program with only a few hundred kilobytes in size, would cause such a catastrophic loss. Moreover, that was with Hacker Y willingly stopping it. Otherwise…

Countless people could not help but feel a shiver run down their spines.

The Stick Nation had experienced quite a few incidents over the past years. Just the year before, they were met with a tsunami that caused great losses to the nation. However, compared to this incident, those losses were insignificant!

A single virus that caused such losses completely flipped their worldview around!

At that moment, the whole world etched the Y-virus in its history. At the same time, they would also remember the dangerous figure that is Hacker Y!

The internet had even more discussions about Hacker Y.

[Who is Hacker Y?]

[Are Hacker Y’s actions suitable?]

[The Stick Nation’s economy received a major hit. What kind of impact would it have on the world?]

[Those who humiliate China must be taken down no matter how far they may be!]

[The power of the internet; Just how powerful Hacker Y can be!]

[Hyun-Min Kim’s terrible dark secrets. Hacker Y’s existence negates everyone’s privacy!]

All sorts of eye-catching titles were everywhere, causing the debates on the internet to be even more heated.

The person in question, Ye Lingchen, was already used to being viewed in such a light by the world. He remained calm, as though the entire world had nothing to do with him. As for the so-called impact he had on the world, he could not be bothered with it.

However, he was not completely uncaring. He did care for the popularity points in the system.

His popularity points rose explosively once more, increasing by over five million points, reaching a grand total of 17,138,656!

His gains this time were decent. Not only did he teach the Stick Nation a lesson and punished Hyun-Min Kim and his cohorts, he also managed to earn popularity points. It felt great!

More importantly…he learned about the secret of Hell’s Gate!

Thinking of Hell’s Gate, Ye Lingchen’s expression turned serious, feeling a mild headache.

“Chairman Ye, Chief Qin and Chief Lin are here,” Dong Miaomiao rushed in to notify him at that very moment.

‘Qing Baichuan and Lin Tianxiong?’

‘Nice timing. I can ask them how much they know about Hell’s Gate.’

Ye Lingchen got up and headed outside.

Nearby, two old men were walking over, talking happily. They would occasionally point here and there on Miracle Island, making observations. Lin Tianxiong had an envious look on his face, saying, “Oh my, this kid’s island has quite the selection of rare and precious plants. Along the way, it’s filled with precious woods from all over the world.”

“This kid really invested heavily in this. However, I can sense that the environment on this island is really great! Damn, it’s such a waste to sell it to him!” Qin Baichuan thumped his chest, feeling regretful.

No one thought this island would turn out to be such a blessed land. Ye Lingchen had taken over this island just recently, yet he managed to develop it to this extent, turning it into a paradise.

“Old Qin, can you feel it? This island’s spiritual energy is very dense!” Lin Tianxiong checked around, then stated in a serious tone.

“That’s indeed the case. I felt it the moment we set foot on the island. It’s as though we walked into another world.” Qin Baichuan was just as serious.

They were both Inner Force martial artists. Although they could not utilize the spiritual energy around them, they were able to sense it.

A regular person setting foot on the island would only feel the environment being great and refreshing, but they would not feel the existence of spiritual energy.

“Do you think it’s related to the Void Realm?” Lin Tianxiong whispered.

“Keep it down.” Qin Baichuan smiled, then added, “Staying in this kind of environment must be very comfortable. That kid really knows how to enjoy himself.”

“If Chief Qin wants to come, Miracle Island will always welcome you. However…remember to pay,” Ye Lingchen said as he approached them. At the same time he quietly noted the mention of Void Realm.

“Hahaha, you rascal. I haven’t come to rush you yet you’re already plotting at me.” Qin Baichuan laughed at Ye Lingchen trying to ask them for payment.

“Kid, do you remember what was written on the contract? You promised to shoot a top quality military themed TV series for me. Up until now, I’ve not even seen anything. Are you too lazy to even patronize me now?”

Ye Lingchen also felt rather awkward as he had almost forgotten about it.

Lately, he had quite a lot of things on his hands. There was the Spring Festival Gala, the showdown with the Stick Nation, and finally the various incidents he met while heading to the International Medical Association. Compared to those, the matter of filming a TV series was of little importance.

Regardless, he answered, “I’ve never forgotten about your request. However, in order to plan for the survival of humankind, to better guarantee the safety of our people, I’ve rushed day and night to create the cure for rabies and was delayed.”

Qin Baichuan was naturally in the know of those things, nodding. “Your cure is truly wonderful. We thank you for your trouble.”

“Everything is for the benefit of the people. My meager effort is nothing. It’s merely half a month of sleepless nights. This is still within my ability to handle,” Ye Lingchen replied casually.

Beside him, Dong Miaomiao blushed and looked away. Her boss was just too shameless.

“Were you really sleep deprived for half a month?” Qin Baichuan was surprised.

“I would occasionally take a 30 minutes nap, but that’s sufficient.” Ye Lingchen’s expression remained the same. Dong Miaomiao’s face turned into a darker shade of red, wanting to leave badly. Ye Lingchen was just too shameless.

“This time we’ve really caused you much trouble.” Qin Baichuan said respectfully without a shred of doubt. In his mind, creating a cure would be incredibly difficult. “Lingchen, although you’re a martial artist, you’re only human. You need to take care to have work-life balance. After all, your body is your main asset.”

‘H-h-he believed it?’

Dong Miaomiao’s jaw dropped.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen continued, “Chief Qin, I would like to rest too. However, whenever I close my eyes, I can’t help thinking about those families suffering because of rabies. I can’t help but think of those helpless kids being bitten by dogs. The earlier I create the cure, the more people I can save! Unfortunately, Although I have the cure, the pharmaceutical factory would still need some time.”

Dong Miaomiao’s face was completely red. She lowered it as much as she could. If she did not know what Ye Lingchen was planning lately, she might have really believed him.

Qin Baichuan was not paying any attention at Dong Miaomiao. Instead, he said excitedly, “If that’s the case, I’ll report this to the Warrior’s Department to provide more funds and assistance to have your pharmaceutical factory start its production as soon as possible!”

“Chief Qin, you’ve already helped me a lot. I’m too ashamed to accept more of your help.”

“You created the cure to rabies. That itself is a big contribution. My help is a reward that you deserve. At the same time, it’s our Warrior Department’s contribution for the people!”
