The challenge was scheduled to take place three days later on the new map by the Blue Sea. Star Technologies would send a staff member to oversee the battle to prevent any disputes about the outcome.
During these three days, the two teams had time to prepare. Eric was determined to defeat Sunflower and forced his team members to participate in missions to improve their gaming skills. He didn’t consider the need for rest. He even moved his computer to the conference room at the company, insisting that “young people must overcome difficulties” and that they needed to work hard to improve their strength.
He promised some compensation at the end of the year, though the team members doubted how valuable it would be. Reluctantly, they went along with his demands.
Chun Rixue, a programmer at the company, was known for his fast hand speed and had been handpicked by the boss to play games.
While he initially accepted the boss’s behavior in the game as part of the entertainment, he now found himself constantly pressured to play.
Even when it was time to leave work, the boss wouldn’t let him go, forcing him to stay at the company and play games. Chun Rixue was eager to return home and get some rest.
Such prolonged pressure can have two outcomes, either it leads to an outburst of frustration or the person becomes increasingly abnormal. Chun Rixue chose the latter.
He reached out to his contacts to access the dark web and posted a mission to trace an IP address. It wasn’t a particularly challenging task, and most beginner hackers wouldn’t bother with it, seeking more complex missions.
When the boss finally allowed Chun Rixue to leave work, he hadn’t received any notifications about the mission being accepted, leaving him uncertain about what to do.
Coincidentally, Song Fan had refrained from undertaking any missions in the Mist during this time. As per the rules, if she couldn’t complete a mission, she would have to leave the Mist. Thus, she was exploring smaller tasks that she could easily handle, and Chun Rixue’s mission caught her attention.
Song Fan accepted the mission and used the Mist’s multi-encrypted chat room to communicate with Chun Rixue. This was a method devised by the hacker trading platform to ensure that once the two parties left the chat room, the chat records would be wiped clean, leaving no trace of the conversation.
Chun Rixue quickly provided the IP address he had discovered on the boss’s computer, aiming to find out the identity of Grassi. Before Grassi’s appearance, the boss hadn’t been so obsessed with gaming. He had been pushing them to play games at the company to help Grassi accumulate points faster.
When Song Fan saw the familiar IP address, she almost burst into laughter. She had seen this address mentioned in the lawsuit two days ago; it was the IP address associated with the Song family residence.
It appeared that Song Yin was causing trouble even in the game. If not for the mission, Song Fan would never have suspected that this troublemaker was none other than Song Yin.
She leaned back in her chair, contemplating the situation. Based on the current circumstances, it was highly unlikely that Song Yin knew Sunflower’s true identity. There was no need for Song Fan to reveal herself; after all, those who acted foolishly would eventually reveal themselves. She decided to let things unfold naturally and focused on improving her gaming skills.
With this realization, Song Fan nodded to herself and delved into intense training. She had developed software that allowed her to enhance keyboard control sensitivity and reaction speed. If she could shave off a few seconds from her response time, she could outperform numerous players.
After testing it herself, she shared the software with the others. They weren’t initially sure what the software with the black icon was, but they trusted Sunflower and clicked on it.
After a few minutes of exploration, they were all amazed. They couldn’t believe that such software existed, systematically training a player’s speed and agility in an enjoyable mini-game format. It was a must-have tool for players looking to enhance their skills.
As business-savvy individuals, they immediately recognized the potential for profit. If they could expand and improve this software, it could generate substantial revenue.
Xiao Lei was tempted to ask Song Fan about the software but hesitated, realizing they were just friends in the game. It might not be wise to cross the boundaries.
However, Gu Chen had no such reservations and asked directly in the chat room, “Have you considered selling this software?”
