431: Chapter 313 M the Great God 431: Chapter 313 M the Great God Zhang Xiaoman hadnât expected that the guy would actually go and do it, and even cause such a big commotion, just because of a casual remark he made at the time.
He really hadnât expected that the guy would take his words in that way.
He did want him to prove his words, but not necessarily in that manner.
Fortunately, although he had posted the emblem of the Star Alliance, nothing else was left behind, just an isolated pattern hanging on the webpage.
Of course, there would definitely be people who would link it to him.
After all, he had once appeared in front of everyone driving the Anti-gravity Car, and even though those videos were later deleted, many people had seen it at the time.
Itâs important to note that the bottom of the Anti-gravity Car was engraved with the Star Alliance emblem, and even though he was high in the sky and it was nighttime, he was not sure if anyone had seen the emblem.
However, now that things had come to this, thinking about it was useless, Zhang Xiaoman needed to consider the situations that might occur next.
âHmmâŠ
this time, the person only posted a pattern online.
While some people might associate it with me, they donât know who I really am, at most they just know the emblem of our organizationâŠ
so that should not be a big problem.â
âAlso, the kid who runs that dark website claims to be the worldâs third-best hacker.
Given that, his abilities are indeed present, but the scale of his action was too big.
Even an outsider like me can understand the difficulty of hacking so many websites at the same time.â
âIf heâs careless and gets tracked, then wouldnât Wencheen Manor get roped in if they follow the vine to find the melon?
No way, I must find him right now and through my contact, trigger the Shadow Lordâs passive to avoid him being tracked!â
Zhang Xiaoman thought through a lot in his mind, sorting through the entire event from start to finish, and settled on his next course of action.
âBrother Man, howâs it going?
Any leads?â
Brother Hero asked from the side.
âHmm, thereâs a bit of a discovery, but itâs not too certain yet, I need to confirm it further.â
âThen, do you need my help with anything?â
âNo need, I can handle this myself.
Just help me take care of the company here.
Once we have enough staff in the future, Iâll arrange for someone else to replace you.â
Zhang Xiaoman said as he looked around the office with curiosity.
âBrother Hero, how come youâre still not off work?
Itâs already midnight over there in America, right?â
Brother Hero scratched his head and said, âHeh, I actually live here most of the time.
Next door is my bedroom.
Iâm too lazy to rent another place, and Iâve heard itâs not very safe here at night, so Iâd rather stay in the officeâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman nodded in understanding.
âAlright then, if you need anything, just tell me.
Iâll reimburse you for the expenses.
Donât work too hard and take care of yourself.â
âOkay, Iâm actually quite happy living here.
I can play games when I have free time, unlike Old Goat and the others who still have to be trained by Lord Bear every day when theyâre not on a missionâŠâ
âIf I miss Tang Yuan, I just use the Teleportation Technique to go see her.
Itâs just a bit of hassle to get back; I always have to have you send me with the Dawn.
Once I have enough points in the future, Iâll definitely exchange them for my own!â
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and nodded.
The two friends caught up for a bit, discussing some topics they used to enjoy and also planning out Brother Heroâs future.
While he had been staying at the American Company these days, Mrs.
Hero and the two babies had gone to live on Dragon Sleep Mountain.
It was relatively safer there and the scenery was nice.
If it wasnât for the lack of schools and other necessary facilities, Tang Yuan would even want to live there permanently.
Brother Heroâs idea was that, since the Great Fusion was inevitably coming, once the Star Alliance Base was completely finished, he would have his wife and kids move in so the family of three could make a home there.
By then, he hoped to be able to perform Enlightenment on Tang Yuan, allowing her to become an Awakener and possess an unlimited future.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.
After a few more words, the two ended their conversation.
After saying goodbye, Zhang Xiaoman didnât return to Rebirth Island, but directly activated his Teleportation Engraving and went to Wencheen Manor.
He informed the two brothers that someone might come to visit in the next few days, and to notify him when they did, so he could come over.
The two brothers readily agreed; they were now cultivating Touching Spirit Flowers and, following Zhang Xiaomanâs request, had expanded the house and planted crops, keeping everything in excellent order.
âNot bad, youâve done very well.
Iâll include your names in the next batch of Awakeners.
Keep it up,â he said.
His words naturally excited the brothers.
The thought of finally becoming Transcendents, those legendary beings, made their hearts brim with fantasies.
Zhang Xiaoman didnât say much else and hurried off after giving them their tasks.
He found that, before the Star Alliance Base was completed, these branch locations were actually quite useful.
Places like Dragon Sleep Mountain and this one were good for accommodating the families of members.
âŠ
Meanwhile, in an office building on Nanshen Avenue in Sanjiao Mei City, a group of youths were cheering at the computer screens in front of them.
âWe did it!
Brother Yong, you made it!
I just saw it, all those websites were taken down by you at the same time; such a feat is truly unheard of!
I guess the hacker rankings will have to change now!â
âYeah, all our hard work for a month was for these five minutes today.
It really wasnât easy.â
âRight, I believe with this, that big shot must have seen our actions.
Itâs just uncertain whether our proof will satisfy the big shot or notâŠâ
ââŠâ
The group of young men and women were excitedly discussing the event, and it was clear that they were the masterminds behind hanging the âEye of the Starry Skyâ on various major websites.
In the middle of the crowd, a slightly overweight young man stretched and stood up from his computer chair, his face a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion.
He was Shi Yong, also known to the world as âMâ, the third-ranked hacker on the international ladder.
Ever since the encounter with a few Transcendents at Wencheen Manor, he had been planning todayâs operation.
Over the past month, he had been laying out plans and staying up late every night, all to meet the requirements of the person referred to as the âStar Lordâ and prove his hacking abilities, leading to todayâs grand feat.
Of course, achieving all this by himself was not possible, but luckily, his friends, though not able to assist in his field, had no problem completing some of the auxiliary tasks he needed.
In the end, although the mines set up within some websites were discovered and dealt with, the desired effect was mostly achieved.
A girl nearby with a worried expression asked, âUm, Brother Yong, wonât we get tracked for pulling off something this big?â
Shi Yong shook his head and said, âNo problem.
I cleared all the records before I logged out.
I put everything I had into this, and I can say with certainty that even if those two were to look, they couldnât find a single trace!â
Seeing his confidence, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the room was once again filled with cheers.
After a while, Shi Yong finally rubbed his somewhat sore temples and said:
âAlright, alright, I canât take it anymore.
Iâm going to sleep for a bit.
The time we set with the big shot is here, and we have to catch the flight to England tonight.
You all get some rest too.â
