《Global Mining: My GPU Has Infinite Upgrades》


 Chapter 16 - Helena

    "Liu Yu..." Fang Yi had not recovered from the shock until she sat inside the Angel''s Wings. She had a thousand words in her heart, but she did not know where to begin.


    "Don''t talk. I''ll take you to a place." Liu Yu piloted the Angel''s Wings and set off for the crystal love theme park in Rong city.


    Wrapped in the soft seat of the Angel''s Wings, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers that made people feel relaxed and hearing pleasant music flow gently, Liu Yu gently held Fang Yi''s hand.


    As someone who was socially awkward, Liu Yu certainly could not think of all of this. However, his custom-made two-person package included the Supreme Love Guide. The first thing they did was to contact Liu Yu and after learning that Liu Yu was driving Angel Wings, the first thing they did was to formulate an activity plan..


    After analyzing the data, the love guide clearly pointed out the flaws in Fang Yi''s character and well grasped her inferiority complex. The grand welcome was precisely to make her feel valued and make up for Liu Yu''s previous behavior of standing her up.


    After they got into the car, they used the environment and sound to relax her mood. At this time, Liu Yu was supposed to hold her hand to make her feel his firm will. The next thing they did was to divert Fang Yi''s attention, they didn''t want her to feel inferior because of her clothes.


    At the same time, Liu Yu was made to apologize for what happened last time to further dispel her doubts. Under the arrangement of the relationship coach, Liu Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained to Fang Yi, "Fang Yi, last time, I already prepared a dream trip for you, but..."


    "It''s okay, I understand." Liu Yu''s voice brought Fang Yi back to her senses. She recalled Luo Qiang''s words and could not help but interrupt Liu Yu, "Liu Yu, I can feel your feelings, but I don''t want to be a burden to you, the Han family..."


    When Liu Yu heard Fang Yi mention the Han family, he immediately thought of Han Xue''er and hurriedly explained, "I have nothing to do with the Han family. Han Xue''er came to find me today because of other things, you don''t have to think too much about it."


    "Then are you two friends?"


    "Of course not," Liu Yu refused flatly. Although it was not a deadly grudge, they were definitely not friends. "Han Xue''er wants to kill me. We are impossible. Don''t worry." Liu Yu thought that she was jealous of Han Xue''er.


    Fang Yi had long guessed that Liu Yu would deny it, but she did not expect him to have a conflict with the Han family. That meant that Luo Qiang was right. Liu Yu needed a strong backer to fight against the Han family.


    "I''m not doubting you and Miss Han," Fang Yi organized her words and continued, "I''m just worried about you. What if the Han family targets you?"


    "Don''t worry. I have something against them. They won''t dare to act rashly." Liu Yu did not want to continue discussing these things. The atmosphere that he had just created was now gone.


    Liu Yu said unhappily, "Let''s not talk about these things today. Let''s just enjoy this period of time together, okay?"


    As expected, he was entangled with the Han family. Otherwise, where did Angel Wings come from? It seemed that she had to convince him. At the very least, the strength of the head office was indeed enough to go against the Han family. After thinking this through, Fang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, but before that, you have to promise me one thing."


    "Okay, tell me. What is it?" Liu Yu said generously.


    "I want you to accompany me to the head office to participate in the competition," Fang Yi said firmly.


    "..." Liu Yu was a little hesitant.


    "Do you want me to go to the head office alone with manager Luo?" Fang Yi said unhappily.


    "Of course not, but..." Liu Yu wanted to say something, but he saw Fang Yi grab his hand and shake it forcefully. She said coquettishly, "Can you accompany me?"


    "Okay." This was the first time Liu Yu saw Fang Yi like this, and he couldn''t help but agree. He originally wanted to persuade Fang Yi to leave her job, but seeing that Fang Yi insisted, he let her have her way.


    Moreover, the main reason why he didn''t want to go was because he was worried that the secret of his computer would be discovered by others. Now that his computer could be hidden amongst many computers, his worries were much smaller. Moreover, since he could escape from the shackles of the Internet and wires, he could actually do it more covertly.


    Since the most important problem had been solved, it was not a big deal to go to the head office. Moreover, he also wanted to see what an outstanding designer was like in this world.


    "That''s great!" Fang Yi jumped up excitedly and kissed Liu Yu''s face. This caused Liu Yu''s remaining worries to be completely thrown to the back of his mind. The feeling of being in love was really good!


    The two of them began their romantic date journey, while Luo Qiang was still immersed in the shock of seeing Liu Yu walk down from the Angel Wings. Fang Yi''s appearance under the holographic image was as beautiful and moving as a goddess, however, the Prince Charming opposite her was not him.


    His jealousy towards Liu Yu rose to an extreme level, and Liu Yu''s strength was far beyond his imagination. Could it be that he had already made some sort of deal with the Han family? Luo Qiang suddenly felt uncertain about whether he would be able to see Liu Yu and Fang Yi the next day.


    The other protagonist of Luo Qiang''s wild imagination, Han Xue''er, was currently ravaging the intelligent doll with a face full of anger.


    "Alright, Alright. My little princess Xue''er, you haven''t told me what exactly happened!" A blue-haired girl said.


    If someone were here, they would definitely cry out in surprise. This blue-haired girl was actually Helena, the popular star who had recently become famous in singing, film and television!


    "Aiya, Nana! You Don''t even know how infuriating that bastard is!" Han Xue''er spilled the beans about Liu Yu.


    "I see." Helena stroked her dark blue hair and said with a smile, "Looks like he''s a fool who doesn''t understand romance."


    Seeing her best friend staring at her with a half-smile on her face, Han Xue''er pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean?"


    "Haha, of course it''s because our little princess has fallen in love with the wrong person!" Helena smiled and dodged the pillow that Han Xue''er threw at her.


    "Nonsense!" Han Xue''er retorted, but she looked a little pale.


    "He has obviously aroused your interest!"


    "No!" Han Xue''er said stubbornly.


    "Are you sure?" Helena laughed more and more recklessly, making Han Xue''er blush.


    "Ah! You''re so annoying! If you say any more, I''ll..." Han Xue''er said and charged Helena over onto the big pink bed.


    "Hmph! You''re walking into a trap! Let me see how our little princess has been growing recently!" Helena fought back without showing any weakness.


    "Ah! You''re cheating!"


    ¡­


    The two beauties were playing on the bed. If an outsider were to see them, their noses would bleed. After a while, the two of them were drenched in sweat. Helena pressed Han Xue''er under her body and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what exactly are you thinking?"

 Chapter 17 - Crystal Love

    "I don''t know either..." Han Xue''er panted as she said.


    "Is he threatening you with the thing in his hand now?" Helena asked.


    "He wouldn''t dare!" Han Xue''er raised her eyebrows and said angrily.


    "Since he didn''t, it means that he''s not stupid. You can''t be stubborn with smart people."


    "Hmm?"


    "Most smart people have a problem, which is that they think they''re very smart." Helena seemed to have thought of something very interesting, she smiled and said, "As long as we grasp this point of theirs, it''s like holding the bull by the nose.. We can make them move in the direction we want."


    "Aiya, how do you know if he is a smart person, and he is so leud..." Han Xue''er was still brooding over the matter of being scared away by Liu Yu twice.


    "Why is your face red? Hehe, after listening to you say so much, I think this guy should be someone with a soft ear. Although he has a low status, he actually has a very strong self-esteem." Helena patted Han Xue''er''s perky butt.


    "Ah!" Han Xue''er pouted and asked with a red face, "Then what do you think I should do?".


    "It''s very simple." Helena seemed to like the process of teasing Han Xue''er, she smiled and said, "I believe that no man in this world can withstand the charm of Miss Han. Since he likes it soft... aren''t you quite soft here?"


    "You''re annoying!" Han Xue''er screamed and slapped Helena''s hands away. The two of them started to roll again.


    "Okay, okay." Helena finished her hands and said while panting, "Do you know how to hold a man firmly in your hands?"


    "Who wants to hold him!" Han Xue''er spat lightly.


    "It''s not for you to hold him, but for you to control his emotions. If you want him to be happy, then make him happy. If you want him to be unhappy, then make him unhappy. Make him unable to leave you, but you can make him fall into hell at any time." Helena''s expression revealed evil.


    "Eh, your expression is so scary!" Han Xue''er could not help but shiver.


    "Don''t you want him to fall into hell?" Helena asked.


    "Of course!" Han Xue''er nodded fiercely.


    "Then you should..." Helena whispered in Han Xue''er''s ear.


    "Would this work?" Han Xue''er asked suspiciously.


    "How do you know if you don''t try?" Helena said with a smile.


    "You wouldn''t trick me, would you?" Han Xue''er said hesitantly.


    "How could I bear to do that!" Helena said and the two of them started to play fight again.


    Liu Yu, who was clearly set up by Helena, knew nothing about his future fate. He was enjoying the perfect love experience with Fang Yi in Crystal Love.


    From the beautiful exclusive Ferris wheel to the exciting roller coaster and the horror house that displayed the strength of a boyfriend, Liu Yu had never thought that love could be like this. It was like the two of them had booked a whole place and were playing with everything they wanted to play.


    Moreover, the amusement park also had a thoughtful costume changing service. Different costumes were provided at different theme venues. There was also AI smart photography the whole way. After the game ended, the exclusive memories that belonged to the two of them would be generated.


    During the meal at the Yunding restaurant, there was also a well-designed band and a romantic segment. Liu Yu personally put on the crystal love pendant necklace that was given by the Love Guide. This was a custom-made necklace that was said that everyone could only ever buy one.


    Just like the marketing strategy of some diamonds on Earth, the crystal love necklace was even more thorough. Not only would they hire a well-known designer to customize the style, it would also be published in the next issue of a fashion magazine and promote their love story at the same time, double Insurance for love.


    The two of them played from morning to night and did not feel tired at all. At eleven o''clock in the evening, the two of them arrived at the star hotel in the theme park. Fang Yi''s heart was beating non-stop.


    "Liu Yu, let''s go back."


    "Let''s stay here tonight." Looking at the lovely girl in front of him, Liu Yu did not want the duck in his mouth to fly away.


    "But I still have to go to work tomorrow." Fang Yi still wanted to continue struggling.


    "It''s okay. We''ll set off at 8:30 a.m. sharp tomorrow morning and the Angel Wings will arrive on time." Liu Yu smiled and whispered into Fang Yi''s ear, "Is there any other problem? My little baby!"


    "Then be gentle..." Fang Yi''s voice was like a mosquito, but it did not sound like thunder in Liu Yu''s ears.


    "Okay!" Liu Yu picked up Fang Yi and entered the room.


    The next morning, looking at Fang Yi in his arms, Liu Yu felt extremely satisfied. In his heart, he secretly decided that he must protect this girl well.


    After gently kissing Fang Yi''s head, Liu Yu got up and prepared to prepare breakfast for her. Although the hotel had intelligent robots that could directly deliver breakfast to the bed, Liu Yu still felt that he had to personally prepare it.


    He did not expect that the moment he moved, Fang Yi could not help but furrow her brows in her arms. She opened her eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"


    "I''m going to prepare breakfast for you," Liu Yu said dotingly.


    "No, hold me for a while longer," Fang Yi said coquettishly.


    "Okay..." The two of them talked for a long time.


    It was only at 8:30 am that the two of them hurriedly put on their clothes and boarded Angel''s Wings. Fortunately, the smart robot had already delivered breakfast to the car, and the advantages of automatic driving were shown. The two of them finished their breakfast on the road.


    When the two of them walked into the company hand in hand, everyone cast envious gazes at them. Only Luo Qiang was unhappy. He was happier that the two of them come to work, but when he saw them holding hands and Fang Yi''s cute and cuddly appearance, it made him feel as if his heart was being pricked by needles.


    It was especially so when he saw the necklace around Fang Yi''s neck and her unnatural posture. As someone who had been through this before, he knew that the fresh flowers he was about to pick had been snatched by someone else. This made him feel even more resentful. He looked at the smug Liu Yu and his heart was filled with resentment, but he could only smile.


    "Liu Yu is here." Luo Qiang greeted him and pulled Liu Yu to the front of the crowd to announce, "Due to Liu Yu''s outstanding performance previously, after applying to the head office, we have decided to appoint him as the director of the design center. He will be fully responsible for the company''s design work. Everyone, welcome director Liu!"


    "Congratulations, director Liu!"


    ..


    Everyone congratulated him one after another. Liu Yu also said a few polite words, then, Luo Qiang continued to announce, "At the same time, Fang Yi will be the secretary-general of the design center and be in charge of assisting director Liu''s work. In the future, their offices will be next to mine. I hope everyone will cooperate more in the future."


    Liu Yu looked at Luo Qiang in surprise. He did not expect this guy to be so tactful. He was very satisfied with the arrangement this time.


    Amidst the warm congratulations, Luo Qiang called the logistics director to arrange a new office for the two of them. Compared to the small desk in the past, their new office now was bright and spacious.


    Just when everyone was in peace, a voice made everyone quiet down. "Liu Yu! I''m here to bring you breakfast of love!"


    Han Xue''er appeared in front of everyone with a small pink basket.

 Chapter 18 - Breakfast Of Love

    "Miss Han, what are you doing?" Luo Qiang saw that Han Xue''er was looking for Liu Yu, and he had a little plan in mind.


    "I''m here to deliver breakfast to Liu Yu." Han Xue''er saw that Luo Qiang was dressed in a suit and looked like a person in charge, so she asked, "Do you know me?"


    "Who doesn''t know Miss Han, who has possesses both beauty and wisdom in the Han Corporation? It''s a great honor to be able to meet you in person. Director Liu is currently working here. If you want to look for him, this way please."


    Luo Qiang knew that Han Xue''er was only talking to him out of respect for Liu Yu, so he simply flattered her and did not say anything more. He made a "Please" gesture and pointed to Liu Yu''s new office.


    "Okay, thank you. What''s your name?" Han Xue''er was very satisfied with Luo Qiang''s tactful behavior and asked another question.


    "My name is Luo Qiang, I''m the department manager here.. Liu Yu is our new director of the design center. It''s best if you don''t have an appointment. I suggest you greet his secretary," Luo Qiang kindly reminded her.


    Han Xue''er''s inquiry was only to facilitate the recording of the smartwatch. The next time they met, she would be able to see the virtual logo and remarks on Luo Qiang''s head. Obviously, Luo Qiang was also very clear about this. He only mentioned his name and position. There was no intention of further talk.


    However, the friendly reminder was not so simple because Liu Yu was not in that office. Only Fang Yi was there, and his goal had been achieved.


    "Secretary?" Han Xue''er frowned and strode into Liu Yu''s office. She met Fang Yi.


    "Ah! Miss Han!" Fang Yi was first stunned when she saw Han Xue''er, and then she subconsciously turned her head to look inside.


    "You are Liu Yu''s secretary?" Han Xue''er stared at Fang Yi and immediately noticed the crystal love necklace on her neck. She could only quickly check the information on the crystal love official website with her watch and found out that this crystal love actually belonged to Fang Yi and Liu Yu!


    "Yes, Miss Han, are you looking for Liu Yu?" Fang Yi looked at Han Xue''er. Her clothes and accessories had been meticulously matched by a professional designer. They were filled with a sweet and cute aura, revealing all of Han Xue''er''s strengths, it made Fang Yi feel a strong sense of threat. There was a hint of hostility in her voice that could not be detected.


    "Yes, is he here?" Han Xue''er looked at Fang Yi as if she was looking at a kitten protecting its food. Suddenly, her interest was piqued. She raised her eyebrows slightly and stared into Fang Yi''s eyes, pretending to ask casually.


    "He''s not here. Please go back," Fang Yi said subconsciously. Although Liu Yu was indeed not here, her clenched hands were already sweating.


    "Hehe." Han Xue''er laughed lightly, put down the breakfast of love, and casually sat on Fang Yi''s seat. She said openly, "Then I''ll wait for him to come back."


    "You! "Fang Yi had never encountered such a situation before. For a moment, she panicked and was about to ask Liu Yu not to come over.


    She heard the noise of footsteps outside the door. Liu Yu was the first to rush into the office, followed by a group of people who had come to watch the show.


    It turned out that Liu Yu was packing up his things. Luo Qiang saw that Han Xue''er had gone to the new office, so he ran to Liu Yu and told him loudly that Han Xue''er had come to look for him. The people around him heard it clearly, and everyone followed Liu Yu, this was what happened.


    "Liu Yu!" Seeing Liu Yu running over, Fang Yi could not help but call out. Her voice was filled with anxiety. She did not want Liu Yu and Han Xue''er to meet at all.


    "Why are you here again! ?" Liu Yu saw Han Xue''er and said in a bad mood.


    "I was afraid that it would be too hard for you to get up early for work, so I specially asked the chef to make you a heart-warming breakfast. I''m here to apologize to you. Don''t be so fierce!" When Han Xue''er saw Liu Yu, she immediately became like a kitten, she revealed a pitiful expression.


    As she spoke, she opened the small pink basket that she had brought with her. A fresh fragrance assailed her nostrils. Regardless of whether it was the color combination or the arrangement of the dishes, they were all exquisitely designed. Just one look at them was enough to make one drool.


    "I''m sorry, I don''t need it." Looking at Han Xue''er who had brought out her cuteness to the extreme, Liu Yu could not say anything against her. He could only reject her with a cold face.


    "Then did you eat breakfast this morning? Don''t work on an empty stomach. I''ll feel sorry for you!" Han Xue''er went over and continued to ask.


    When she said this, everyone was shocked. Liu Yu had been blessed several times over. He could actually make Miss Han treat him so gently!


    "Fang Yi and I have already had breakfast together. You don''t have to worry about these things!" Liu Yu pulled Fang Yi''s hand with a dark face, as if he wanted to use this to reject Han Xue''er.


    However, Han Xue''er, who had been instructed by Helena, was not someone that could be easily dismissed. Her eyes immediately turned red, and her tone was choked with sobs. "So it was her that was in your room that night! I''m sorry, I was overthinking things..."


    After saying that, she ran out with red eyes. Everyone made way for her. Looking at Miss Han who was drenched in tears, they could not help but pity her. The way they looked at Liu Yu gradually became unkind.


    "Aiya, what a sin!" Someone couldn''t help but say.


    "Yeah, I don''t know what Miss Han meant by that night. Could it be that Fang Yi was a third person in the relationship?"


    "It can''t be. If one could gain Miss Han''s favor, no one would be able to pry her away."


    "Hey, don''t forget that Liu Yu is full of vigor. Fang Yi is obviously more willing to spend her capital."


    ¡­


    It had to be said that the imagination of the crowd was terrifying. Things had already developed in a direction that Liu Yu could not control. Hearing the discussions around him, Luo Qiang felt great, because at that moment, Fang Yi''s face was as dead as ash.


    "Why aren''t you doing your work properly!" Luo Qiang said angrily, "Don''t you want your bonuses!"


    After dispersing the crowd, he smiled and said, "Liu Yu, they are just too free. Don''t take their words to heart."


    After saying that, Luo Qiang also left, leaving behind the livid Liu Yu. He had never thought that he would encounter such a thing, especially how he would explain that night to Fang Yi¡­


    What was going on! Liu Yu sighed in his heart. He could clearly feel that Fang Yi''s hands had become extremely cold. Han Xue''er had really dug a good hole for him.


    "Fang Yi... "Liu Yu wanted to say something, but was blocked by Fang Yi''s soft lips. Liu Yu''s eyes widened. He did not expect Fang Yi to be so proactive. Could it be that she wanted to try office play?


    A moment later, Fang Yi pushed Liu Yu away. Her eyes were red and her voice was a little choked. "I don''t care what other people say. I just want you to always be good to me..."


    "I will always be good to you. I promise!" Liu Yu immediately promised. He felt that it was not enough. He stood at attention and raised his hand with a solemn face. "I swear!"


    "Look at your silly look!" Seeing Liu Yu''s silly look, Fang Yi broke into a smile.

 Chapter 19 - Fang Yi’s Hobbies

    Seeing that Fang Yi was smiling, Liu Yu didn''t plan to stay in this troubled place any longer. He pulled Fang Yi along and walked out.


    "Where are you going?" Fang Yi hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues when she walked outside.


    "Let''s go! I''ll take you for a walk!"


    "But it''s work time now..." Fang Yi said anxiously.


    "How can you still be in the mood to go to work now? Besides, don''t I have the final say in the design department?" Liu Yu said casually, "Now, I''ll announce that you have a day off. I''ll go shopping with you, okay?"


    "But what if other people have something to ask you?" Fang Yi was still a little worried.


    "Then contact me by mail. Don''t worry. What can they do? It''s already good enough that they can draw their own blueprints."


    "Then what if they can''t complete the mission..." Fang Yi was still a little worried, but Liu Yu said, "Don''t worry! I have my own ways!"


    He wrapped his arm around Fang Yi''s waist. After he sent out a message in the work group chat, Liu Yu brought Fang Yi onto Angel''s Wings and arrived at Jiangcheng''s largest commercial street.


    To be honest, Liu Yu had never gone shopping seriously since he graduated from university. On one hand, it was the continuous improvement and development of online shopping. On the other hand, he had a high-intensity job, so there was no time for him to go shopping. At the same time, the meager salary he earned was not enough to support consumption beyond the necessities of life.


    In these years, other than the basic expenses, Liu Yu''s biggest expense was upgrading his graphics cards. His main goal was still mining. After so many years of development, Blue Planet already had a set of effective methods to control the proportion of of Bitcoins production and people''s lives.


    If they did not invest a certain proportion to buy new computers and graphics cards, with the increasing difficulty of Bitcoin production, the graphics cards that could not keep up with the times would lead to a decline in mining capacity, resulting in less money on hand. And if one did not have the money to buy the latest graphics cards, it would lead to a decline in mining capacity again, forming a vicious circle.


    Therefore, the vast majority of people could only struggle on the survival line and did not have the opportunity to consume. Therefore, all the commercial streets served the rich.


    Driving the Angel Wings to the parking area, as expected, there were many luxury cars and hover sports cars everywhere. However, the Angel Wings was still a beautiful scenery.


    "Angel Wings?" The surrounding people would cry out in surprise when they saw the Angel Wings. However, in their eyes, this was just a new car, and they were not surprised by its price.


    "Weiwei, look, the new Angel Wings!" A girl in a gorgeous dress reminded her companion beside her.


    "It''s so beautiful!" The girl named Weiwei praised.


    "Yeah, I really want to marry a man with Angel Wings." The girl''s face was full of envy. When she saw Liu Yu and Fang Yi coming down together, she said in disappointment, "Another one with female companion. We haven''t even opened today."


    Weiwei suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Yi!"


    "Huh?" Fang Yi was suddenly stunned when she heard someone calling her. She looked at the girl in the distance and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Weiwei?"


    "Wow! Fang Yi, it''s really you!" Weiwei ran over excitedly. She wanted to give Fang Yi a hug, but she seemed to be a little afraid of Liu Yu. She was clearly very excited, but she suddenly lowered her voice and did not dare to come closer.


    "Liu Yu, I''ll go over for a while..." Fang Yi glanced at Liu Yu.


    "You go ahead." Liu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. He was not a ferocious beast, so he did not know why the girls did not dare to come over.


    The two girls exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly separated. Weiwei ran to the side of the girl who was with them, and Fang Yi also walked back.


    "Why are you back so soon?" Liu Yu asked curiously.


    "My friend was afraid that you would be unhappy, so she left a contact and went off," Fang Yi explained:


    "Weiwei is my classmate from university. Because she is prettier, she has always wanted to find a rich man to marry. She thought that she would be able to get in touch with the rich second generation here, but she did not expect to live a humble life and look up to others'' faces everywhere..."


    "Everyone''s life is their own choice." Liu Yu changed the topic and said with a smile, "And I think you are much prettier than her!" Fang Yi''s face was plain, and with a little dressing up, she was completely incomparable to Weiwei.


    "Aiya, don''t talk nonsense." When Fang Yi heard Liu Yu praising her, she said that she didn''t want him to say it, but in her heart, she was very happy. "Liu Yu, she is now working as a shopping guide in the Commercial Street. Why don''t you let her take us around?"


    "I''ll listen to you. You''re in charge today!" Liu Yu said generously.


    "Darling, you''re the best!" Fang Yi kissed Liu Yu''s face and sent Weiwei a message with a smile.


    After a while, Weiwei ran over, but she was wearing a cat-eared maid outfit. It seemed that she wanted to show off that Fang Yi was the real female companion.


    It had to be said that Weiwei really knew this place like the back of her hand. Where there were special snacks and delicacies; where there were special toys and accessories; where the latest cutting-edge technology was sold; where there were fashionable and beautiful clothes.


    In particular, there were all kinds of high-end custom-made clothing stores. One had to walk into them to know how incredible the life of a rich person was. Although it was called a clothing store, it was actually more like a small clothing factory.


    The contracted designers would customize the clothes for their customers online. Then, through the selection of clothing materials and using 3D printing technology, they could directly take away the ready-made clothes within ten minutes. If the customers were not satisfied, they could directly decompose the clothes in the store and remake them.


    The lunch was enjoyed in a fusion restaurant. With the increasing social atmosphere of efficiency, there were few restaurants in ordinary cities. The main way for people to get food was through the synthetic food in convenience stores.


    With the increase in production efficiency, the channels for ordinary people to get fresh ingredients were also shrinking. All the food that could be industrialized had disappeared from the family kitchen, Liu Yu had basically never eaten food in the traditional sense before.


    "You must try the poached fish here! It will be so delicious that you will cry!" Weiwei strongly recommended her favorite spicy poached fish.


    "Huh! ?"Liu Yu tasted the fish and was immediately conquered by the smooth and tender taste. Although the taste of the seasoning was not much different from that of the synthetic food, the taste of the raw meat was still not completely imitated by the synthetic materials. In particular, the heat that was controlled by the chef gave the boiled fish a soul, which created a sharp contrast with the food produced by industrial production. Of course, this was also inseparable from the skills of the chef. Even Fang Yi could not help but give up on eating to her heart''s content.


    "Fang Yi, I really miss the days when you used to cook," Weiwei sighed.


    "You can cook?" Liu Yu looked at Fang Yi in surprise.


    Hearing that, Fang Yi blushed. "I''ve always liked to cook. Even if it''s synthetic food, I''ll try to reprocess it. Usually, when I procrastinate, I like to watch historical videos about cooking..."

 Chapter 20 - Haunting

    Liu Yu didn''t expect Fang Yi to have such a hobby, which made him a little surprised. If possible, he could open a restaurant for her?


    The three of them were full. When they checked out, Liu Yu glanced at the menu. A few simple dishes actually cost 0.01 Bitcoin, which was equivalent to a year''s rent for him. As expected, the consumption of the rich was far beyond his imagination.


    It seemed that if he wanted to open a restaurant, he had to take a good look at it.


    ¡­


    "This shop is the Meow Meow House that my favorite cat designer has signed a contract with! Do you want to give it a try?" Weiwei excitedly pointed at a shop that was full of cute kittens.


    Liu Yu looked at Fang Yi and realized that she was actually a little tempted? Could it be that she also liked this style? He could not help but look at the energetic Wei Wei. It seemed to be not bad!


    Shopping was indeed a physical task. Although all the goods were carried by the smart trolley behind him, Liu Yu still felt deeply tired.


    On the other hand, Fang Yi and Wei Wei were still happily shopping. They sat on the intimate male seats of the trolley and followed behind the two to observe the entire commercial street.


    Other than the technology that far surpassed the Earth, whether it was the consumption pattern or the living conditions, Blue Planet was actually closer to the Earth. In other words, this was where life was. The lives of ordinary people had been squeezed into cans by the heavy work, and they had almost lost their sense of self.


    How could there be good ideas and good works in such a state of life? It seemed that everyone''s job was to solve a mathematical problem without an answer. The meaning of all life was to calculate, and this kind of life was often meaningless.


    After experiencing the rich and the poor living conditions, a seed sprouted in Liu Yu''s heart. A seed that would eventually grow.


    "Aiya! What a cute puppy!" Fang Yi''s voice pulled Liu Yu''s thoughts back to reality. They came to a pet market. This shop, which had disappeared in other cities, was full of all kinds of unexpected creatures.


    From traditional cats and dogs to flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even sharks and eagles, some of the creatures even had mechanical aids, which could better communicate with humans. This shocked Liu Yu greatly and made him extremely uncomfortable.


    Obviously, Fang Yi felt the same. When she saw some creatures that had been added with mechanical consciousness and left in a strange shape, she left quickly. The cruelty of humans became more and more intense after the rapid development of science and technology.


    The last stop was a living square. There were fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and other basic ingredients. There were also high-end ingredients such as mussels and tuna. There were also synthetic ingredients that did not exist on Earth. Liu Yu was dazzled by what he saw.


    "Looks like I''m going to have a good time tonight!" Seeing that Fang Yi was seriously choosing, Liu Yu said with a smile.


    "Mm, if you''re willing, I''ll cook for you every day from now on," Fang Yi said gently. Her gentle appearance stunned Liu Yu.


    As night fell, the long shopping trip finally ended. Under the intense advice of Fang Yi and Weiwei, Liu Yu also changed into new clothes. Of course, according to his usual low-key style, there was no obvious logos on the clothes.


    The one who benefited the most was naturally Fang Yi. Not only did she buy a lot of clothes and shoes, but she also bought a lot of ingredients. For this, Liu Yu also bought a big freezer and left a message for the store owner. In the future, fresh food could also be sent directly to her home.


    It was already nine o''clock in the evening when he returned to Fang Yi''s dormitory. It was just time to get off work. The gorgeous Angel Wings flickered with a dreamy light as they landed in Fang Yi''s apartment, attracting everyone''s attention.


    Liu Yu already knew that on the day he stood her up, Luo Qiang drove Fang Yi home in his newly bought supercar. This time, he did not quietly stop at the top of the building. Instead, he stopped in front of the building with great fanfare. He wanted to let everyone know that Fang Yi was his woman.


    Fang Yi was the head chef and Liu Yu was the assistant. They worked for a long time before dinner was finally ready. Although there were only two simple dishes, Liu Yu felt that this was real life.


    Switching to the virtual background of the candlelit dinner, the two seemed to have returned to the restaurant in Yunzhong Harbor. There were waiters playing moving music around them, gently shaking their wine glasses, and the two spent a happy night.


    The next day, Liu Yu came to the office alone. Last night had been a little long. He gave Fang Yi a day off to rest at home. He came to find Luo Qiang to understand the matters of the head office.


    When he arrived at the top floor of the company, he found that the helipad on the top floor seemed to be exceptionally clean. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. When he entered the elevator, the feeling was even stronger, because there was actually a faint scent of perfume in the elevator, and it was even cleaner than usual.


    When he got out of the elevator, he realized the problem. From the elevator to the front of his office, there was actually a bright red carpet. It felt good to step on it, and there were flowers decorated along the way.


    Sure enough, he saw the expected figure at the door of his office -- Han Xue''er!


    "You''re here! You''re late today!"


    Hearing the footsteps, Han Xue''er turned around and gently tapped her lips with her finger, showing Liu Yu a beautiful silhouette.


    Today, she adopted an intellectual style, and the way she spoke had also changed to an intellectual big sister. Even her voice had become much more mature, but it still gave Liu Yu goosebumps. This young miss was really haunting him.


    "What do you want?" Liu Yu looked at Han Xue''er in front of him and could not help but feel a headache.


    "I want to get to know you better." Han Xue''er said as she slowly walked to Liu Yu''s side, forcing Liu Yu to step back step by step. He had already retreated to the door, and only then did he realize that many people were poking their heads out to look in his direction.


    This bunch of bastards!


    Liu Yu knew that someone would tell Fang Yi about today''s matter no matter what. He had to be more resolute. He sent a message to captain Liu of the security team through the communication channel, asking him to bring people up.


    "Not bad. who picked out these new clothes for you? Did you bring your new lover to go shopping? Do you still need the money I gave you?" Han Xue''er suddenly said, her voice full of resentment.


    "When did I use your money? !" Liu Yu immediately flew into a rage, but in the ears of others, it was a different feeling.


    "Hey, Hey, did you hear that? Liu Yu really took Miss Han''s money!"


    "Wow! The drama of the century! He actually took Miss Han''s money to take Fang Yi Shopping!"


    "That''s right, that''s right. Usually, he looks quite honest. I didn''t expect him to be this much of a playboy..."


    ¡­


    The surrounding discussions made Liu Yu''s head hurt. He wished he could rush over and tear their mouths apart. At the same time, he hated Han Xue''er even more.


    "I don''t want that money, but can you not abandon me?" Han Xue''er saw Liu Yu''s fierce expression and felt great. She suddenly revealed a pitiful expression and said pitifully.


    Miss Han meant that Liu Yu had abandoned her from in the beginning! ?


    "Boom!"


    The gossipy souls of the surrounding onlookers were completely ignited!

 Chapter 21 - Wealthy And Willful

    Suddenly, Captain Wang ran up with his men in an aggressive manner.


    "Director Liu, what instructions do you have?" Captain Wang''s voice was sonorous and powerful, but his eyes still inevitably drifted toward Han Xue''er from the corner of his eye.


    "Ahem, Captain Wang, you don''t have to be polite. In the future, don''t let people from our company come up if they aren''t from our company. It will affect the normal work of the company''s employees." Although Liu Yu''s words were meant for captain Wang to hear, his eyes were fixed on Han Xue''er. He was afraid that she would do something drastic, and he would have to explain it to Fang Yi.


    "Okay, director Liu, we understand!"


    "Then young lady, please leave." Liu Yu pointed at Han Xue''er, but he saw that Han Xue''er was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    Captain Wang was a little embarrassed.. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. The daughter of the Han corporation was not someone that a small fry like him could offend. Liu Yu and Miss Han had a deep relationship. Liu Yu dared to say that but they did not dare to do so!


    However, it was his duty. He braced himself and said to Han Xue''er, "Miss Han, please!"


    "Captain Wang, right?" Han Xue''er smiled and said, "What is the name of your security company?"


    "Yu Wei Security," Captain Wang said subconsciously.


    "Okay." Han Xue''er sent a communication to her subordinate, Ah Wei. A moment later, Captain Wang''s information was sent to Han Xue''er''s smart watch.


    "Liu Junjie, 35 years old. He once joined the police force. You have retired for five years and has been working in Yu Wei security company. You were promoted to captain two years ago and are responsible for the security work in this area, right?" Han Xue''er looked at Captain Wang with a faint smile.


    "Miss Han... I¡­ My child is still young..." When Captain Wang heard this information, cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He had already thought of all kinds of tragic possibilities, and he couldn''t even speak clearly.


    Liu Yu''s face also darkened. If because of him, captain Wang suffered Han Xue''er''s revenge, then he wouldn''t be able to get over this hurdle no matter what.


    "Captain Wang, you''re very good." Han Xue''er glanced at the information on the smart watch and said with a smile, "This is your company''s equity transfer contract. Now I''m the largest shareholder of your Yu Wei Company. Now, do you still want to ask me to leave?"


    "Of course not, Miss Han... No, CEO Han, please give me your instructions." Captain Wang felt relieved and immediately surrendered to Han Xue''er.


    "Very good. Take your people and protect the safety of this place. Don''t let those unimportant people get close to this office." Han Xue''er pointed at Liu Yu''s office.


    "Roger! I promise to complete the task!" After saying that, captain Wang lined up everyone in a row and blocked the door of Liu Yu''s office.


    Liu Yu was dumbfounded at this moment. Although he might be richer than Han Xue''er now, he did not have the power of the Han family. To put it bluntly, even if he wanted to buy power, he might not be able to contact her even if he wanted to.


    "What exactly do you want?" Liu Yu looked at Han Xue''er who was approaching him step by step in the office and was a little at a loss. She could not have fallen for his beauty, right? However, Liu Yu, who had looked at himself in the mirror this morning, knew that it was impossible.


    "I want to walk into your heart." Han Xue''er gently tapped Liu Yu''s chest with her fingertips, drawing circles nonstop. It made Liu Yu''s heart itch.


    "Miss Han, I already have a girlfriend. I don''t want her to have a misunderstanding because of you." Liu Yu thought of the gentle Fang Yi and said helplessly, "I won''t counter hack your account anymore okay?"


    "No, I care about you, not the money." Han Xue''er came closer again. Liu Yu could feel her breath on his face.


    "I don''t believe it." Liu Yu hurriedly operated the computer at home remotely to stop the hacking. Not only that, he also returned the dozens of Bitcoins that she had lost previously.


    A huge amount of assets entered her account. Sure enough, he saw the smartwatch on Han Xue''er''s hand light up. It seemed that her subordinates had already noticed the abnormality.


    "Hmph, you''re quite proactive. Then I''ll let you off today. But you have to be careful. I''ll come back to look for you tomorrow." Han Xue''er threw a flying kiss at Liu Yu and left the office with victorious footsteps.


    "Phew..." After Han Xue''er left, Liu Yu let out a long sigh. Smelling the lingering fragrance in the air, Liu Yu felt a headache. What was going on! !


    After a while, he found Luo Qiang. "Manager Luo, when are we going to the head office?"


    "The original plan was to go next week. Director Liu, don''t tell me you don''t plan to go again?" Luo Qiang''s expression turned ugly.


    "Of course not. We can''t go back on our words. I just want to know the specific schedule after we go."


    "We have never participated in this kind of competition before. If you didn''t render that design, our company wouldn''t be qualified to participate in the competition. Therefore, we have to familiarize ourselves with the competition system and the precautions," said Luo Qiang.


    "Then wouldn''t we not have enough time to go a week in advance?" Liu Yu pretended to be troubled and said, "I can render it myself, but what if I''m afraid of not performing well on the competition field because of nervousness and affecting the company''s image?"


    "Then what do you mean?" Luo Qiang could hear the hidden meaning in Liu Yu''s words.


    "I want to go earlier so that I can familiarize myself with it for a period of time. If I can familiarize myself with the competition field as well as at home, then there won''t be any problems!" Said Liu Yu confidently.


    If it wasn''t for President Xiang insisting that you go, I wouldn''t even be willing to go with you. What does the company''s image have to do with me. Luo Qiang muttered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face. "It''s great that director Liu can think for the company. Then when do you want to set off?"


    "Tomorrow," Liu Yu immediately said.


    "So early?" Luo Qiang was stunned. He didn''t know why Liu Yu was so anxious. "Do you want to make more preparations?"


    "No need! I can prepare it tonight!" Liu Yu said firmly.


    "Then inform Fang Yi. I''ll see if there''s a plane ticket." Luo Qiang began to inquire about the plane ticket for the next day.


    "Okay, then I''ll go prepare something first. Just inform me directly when you''ve booked the ticket." Liu Yu took his leave. He indeed had some preparatory work to do.


    Actually, Liu Yu''s idea was very simple. Wasn''t Han Xue''er powerful? Wasn''t the Han corporation powerful? If I can''t afford to offend her, can''t I avoid her? He really did some serious research on the internet and found that the head office was indeed one of the giants.


    As long as he went to the head office, Han Xue''er shouldn''t be able to do anything to him. At the very least, she shouldn''t be able to do as she pleased like now. The ensuing matters would become much simpler.


    Liu Yu believed that once he arrived at the head office, with his ability, he would easily attract the attention of the company''s higher-ups. Naturally, he would no longer have to worry about the Han family''s harassment. Moreover, he had also returned the Bitcoins. Now, the two of them were even. In comparison, Liu Yu''s losses were actually greater.

 Chapter 22 - Preparation Before Departure

    Liu Yu had already thought it through. If Han Xue''er still didn''t know what was good for her, he would teach her a lesson when he grew up to be powerful and independent enough! As the saying goes, it''s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Since her father didn''t give her a good upbringing, then it''s up to me to teach her how to behave!


    Driving his Angel Wings and leaving the company, Liu Yu ordered some more things on the way back. When he returned to his apartment, he saw that the goods had already been placed downstairs.


    He had the intelligent robot carry all the things up, and Liu Yu began to modify the mining computer.


    The previous modification was not complete. He had only removed the internet cable from the computer. This time, he wanted to make the computer look like a laptop that was easy to carry. After all, he could not go to the head office and also carry a huge desktop computer, anyone would realise that there was a problem.


    With the previous experience, Liu Yu built a simple operating table in his apartment. On the test table, it could simulate magnetic field power and wireless charging.. At the same time, it could stabilize the wireless network and data support.


    With the help of the mechanical arm of the experiment table, Liu Yu easily dismantled the computer''s host. Then, he gradually connected the graphics card to the prepared notebook. This notebook was also the latest model on the market, it carried the most powerful RTX3090.


    The last time his graphics card was upgraded from the RTX8090 to the RTX8090TI, the biggest difference apart from performance was that the shape became smaller. It was even smaller than the castrated RTX3090 on the notebook, which was exactly what Liu Yu liked.


    The graphics cards of Blue Planet were designed with distributed computing transfer function in order to not affect mining during the replacement process. Taking out the prepared graphics cards, Liu Yu began to perform the graphics card replacement surgery for the two computers.


    He had the intelligent robot find a fixed bracket from the package that was sent. He installed the RTX8090ti on the laptop and opened the virtual projection. The computer prompted him that his computing power was insufficient. Then, he gradually connected it to the distributed computing, and his computing power continued to increase.


    When the entire graphics card was installed, the laptop could operate normally. Liu Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Last time, he only changed the shell, power supply, and network. This time, the successful transfer of the graphics card could be considered another improvement.


    After the laptop shell was installed, it was finally completed. At this time, the smart watch vibrated. It was a message from Luo Qiang: "The plane ticket has been purchased. See you at Jiangcheng Airport at 9 am tomorrow."


    At this moment, in the Blue Sky Villa.


    "Helena! I won today!" Han Xue''er said proudly.


    "Oh, not bad. Our Xue''er is still very capable!" Helena seemed to have just taken a bath. She wiped her wet long hair, revealing a pair of white jade-like calves under her white bathrobe.


    "Humph! Quickly tell me what I should do tomorrow?" Han Xue''er said excitedly.


    "You want to go again tomorrow?" Helena looked at Han Xue''er in surprise and said, "Hasn''t he already returned your money?"


    "But he is still ahead of me on the computing power leader board!" Han Xue''er said angrily.


    "Have you not looked at the computing power leader board recently? You are almost out of the top 100. Why are you still arguing with him at this time?" Helena tried hard to hold back her laughter and said.


    "What! ?" Han Xue''er quickly opened the Computing Power Ranking List. Sure enough, she had already dropped to the 50th place. She immediately flew into a rage. "Liu Yu! You and I can not live under the same sky!"


    "My lovely lady, what does this have to do with Liu Yu? "Helena could not help but hold her forehead. She did not understand Han Xue''er''s brain.


    "If it wasn''t for him counter hacking me, how could I not have the funds to upgrade my graphics card! How could I fall off the computing leader board! ?" Han Xue''er pouted as she walked back and forth in the room, as if she had thought of something. "No, I have to play big tomorrow!"


    "What do you want to do?" Helena suddenly became interested, and the two of them discussed a lot.


    After discussing the countermeasures, Han Xue''er called Ah Wei. "Have you confirmed Liu Yu''s schedule for tomorrow?"


    "He seems to be taking a plane to Chengdu tomorrow. He has already booked a plane ticket."


    "To Chengdu?" Han Xue''er was stunned. She instantly understood Liu Yu''s thoughts. "Hmph, you still want to avoid me? Then I''ll just make sure you can''t get to Chengdu!"


    Han Xue''er and Helena modified some of the details and then made specific work arrangements for Ah Wei. Like a little fox, she sneaked out of the room. She also had to prepare for tomorrow''s trip.


    After Han Xue''er left the room in satisfaction, Helena called her sister.


    "Sister Louise, Han Xue''er has such a plan tomorrow..."


    Liu Yu brought the things he had prepared and went to Fang Yi''s apartment. It had to be said that Fang Yi''s requirements for the living environment were indeed much higher than his. Even if there was a smart robot to clean it, that old rundown place of his still did not look like a home.


    Although Fang Yi''s apartment was rented, she managed to create a warm feeling, which made Liu Yu unable to resist wanting to stay here for a long time.


    "We''ll go to the head office tomorrow morning," Liu Yu said to Fang Yi.


    "So soon? I haven''t prepared anything yet!" Fang Yi was preparing dinner for Liu Yu when she suddenly heard the news.


    "What else do you need to prepare?" Liu Yu grinned and hugged Fang Yi from behind. "You take me and I''ll take the money. Isn''t that enough?"


    "Aiya, you''re so annoying!" Fang Yi pushed away Liu Yu''s hands that were groping all over the place and said coquettishly, "We''re going to take a plane tomorrow, right? There are some things that you can''t buy even if you have money on a plane."


    "Hmm? What things can''t be bought?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.


    "Stupid! Of course, girls have to wear face masks when they fly. Don''t tell me you''re going to ask a flight attendant to buy such things?" Fang Yi smiled and knocked on Liu Yu''s head.


    "Aiya, Aiya, you knocked me silly. No, I can''t. I''m stuck with you. I can only rely on you to serve me for the rest of my life," Liu Yu pouted and teased.


    "Silly!" Fang Yi smiled and began to pack up her things. Her heart was filled with sweetness.


    After the two of them finished packing up and had dinner, Liu Yu pulled Fang Yi into his arms. "Little baby, look at how talented you are in cooking. Why don''t I open a restaurant for you?"


    "It''s not that easy to open a restaurant. Much less, my culinary skills are good enough to make a home-cooked meal, but I''ll definitely die if I open a restaurant." Fang Yi shook her head and said, "Besides, nowadays, only the richest people can go to restaurants. The environment needs to be luxurious. How can we afford to open a restaurant?"


    "You don''t have to worry about that. Money is not a problem. As long as you like it, we can take it slow. We''ll hire a chef at the beginning, and when your skills improve, you''ll be our head chef, okay?"


    "Whatever you say is fine. Rest early. We have a plane to catch tomorrow!" Fang Yi advised.


    "There''s no rush. The small plane in the bed hasn''t taken off yet!" Liu Yu said with a smirk.


    "Aiya, you''re so bad!"


    ¡­

 Chapter 23 - Boarding The Plane

    The next day, Luo Qiang paced anxiously at the airport gate. The time was almost up, but Liu Yu and Fang Yi had not arrived yet. Their communications had been rejected. He was really worried to death.


    Suddenly, he heard someone exclaim, "Angel Wings!"


    A blue streak of light streaked past the airport gate. Not long after, Liu Yu and Fang Yi finally arrived. Fang Yi''s face was flushed red as she kept complaining to Liu Yu:


    "It''s all your fault! You insisted on playing... Aiya, it''s so embarrassing! We were almost late."


    "Aiya, isn''t there another flight in twenty minutes? Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing.." Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and said with a smile.


    Seeing the two of them arrive late and still smiling cheekily, Luo Qiang became even angrier. "Liu Yu, what''s wrong with you! Are you still going or not!"


    "I''m sorry, manager Luo, I forgot about the time. There was a flight that was 20 minutes later on the same flight route. I thought it was that one. Fortunately, Angel Wings flew fast enough." Liu Yu touched his nose and said awkwardly.


    Hearing Liu Yu mention another flight, Luo Qiang couldn''t help but say, "That''s an anti-gravity flight. The price is 100 times that of an ordinary flight. Although the company has funds, we can''t waste money like that!"


    "Isn''t that because I want to go to the head office early to get into training..." Liu Yu laughed. Although the anti-gravity plane was expensive, its speed was five times that of an ordinary aeroplane. Moreover, it was safer, however, he also knew that Luo Qiang wouldn''t be willing to spend this money.


    "You really have no sense of time. You can''t do this when you arrive at the head office! Here, this is your boarding pass." Luo Qiang complained.


    "Huh?" Liu Yu was stunned when he saw the boarding pass. He and Fang Yi were not seated in the same row. On the other hand, Luo Qiang and Fang Yi''s seats were actually next to each other. It was really clear what Luo Qiang''s intentions were.


    "Manager Luo, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yu''s face turned cold.


    "What do you mean? Hurry up and leave. It''s almost time," Luo Qiang said impatiently.


    "Hey, don''t you know what kind of relationship Fang Yi and I have now? You separated the two of us and instead you two want to sit together? I want to exchange seats with you!"


    "What exchange? !" Luo Qiang said with a stern face but a weak heart:


    "It was automatically generated when I bought the ticket. What can I do? Besides, Fang Yi doesn''t have any experience in participating in such a competition. I''ll explain it to her on the way so that you can enter the training faster when you arrive at the place! Also, don''t you know that the company doesn''t allow office romances?"


    "Pfft! Don''t think that I don''t know you have some tricks up your sleeve. You''re telling your experience only to her and not me? Let me tell you, Luo Qiang, you''d better not have any wicked ideas about Fang Yi in the future. Otherwise, I''m not done with you!" Liu Yu saw that Luo Qiang still dared to talk back, a mouthful of saliva almost landed on his face.


    "Then are you going or not? You''re the one who''s in a hurry to go. Now that you''ve changed your mind at the airport, you still have the face to say that you''ll keep your word?" Luo Qiang knew that he was in the wrong and started to badger him.


    "Yes, of course I''m going, but it''s too slow. We''re going to take the anti-gravity flight. See you at the head office! I''ll be waiting for you there in advance!" Liu Yu snorted coldly, booked the ticket for the anti-gravity flight, and pulled Fang Yi out of the terminal.


    "You!" Luo Qiang was furious, but he really couldn''t afford the price of the anti-gravity flight. At this time, the stewardess began to urge him, "Sir, please board the plane immediately. The plane will take off in one minute."


    "Hmph! I Won''t reimburse you a single cent when I go back!" Luo Qiang said sourly and boarded the air-powered flight.


    Liu Yu slowly directed the intelligent baggage transfer vehicle to transfer their luggage to the anti-gravity flight.


    Under the guidance of the intelligent robot and the flight attendant, the two boarded the anti-gravity flight. The facilities here were much more luxurious than the ordinary flight facilities. The economy class of the anti-gravity flight had the same configuration as that of the first class in ordinary flight. As for the first class cabin here, it was even more luxurious.


    Not only did the entire space use non-light source lighting, the light was extremely soft, and you could gesture to adjust the brightness anywhere you needed to meet the needs of reading or using electronic devices.


    Needless to say, the seat could rotate 360 degrees, and it could be used for massage, electronic physical therapy, and even provide Hot Maggie. It seemed that Fang Yi''s face mask was really useless.


    Although the floor beneath her feet was carpeted, it could be moved in a modular manner. In other words, if she met someone she knew, they could switch positions with each other. Of course, this required the other party''s consent, but the flight attendants had the authority to forcefully adjust the seat in case of an emergency, they had the authority to forcefully adjust their seats.


    "I really couldn''t imagine that the life of a rich person was so comfortable." Fang Yi couldn''t move when she saw thermage Every girl''s pursuit of beauty was endless, the equipment here was obviously much more advanced than the equipment on the market. She laid down on it directly.


    With the translucent hatch cover covered and soft music playing, Fang Yi began a beauty journey. She was comfortable, but she left Liu Yu to the side. Although the seats also provided holographic gaming equipment and information services for men, Liu Yu was not interested.


    Because he realized that he usually cared too little about Fang Yi. He did not even notice her need for a beauty salon.


    Just as Liu Yu was reflecting on himself, he found that Fang Yi''s seat slowly moved behind him, while another empty seat moved to his side!


    "What''s going on?" Liu Yu frowned as he looked at the stewardess. However, he discovered that a person had rushed up the second before the cabin door closed. It seemed to be a lady with a slim figure, panting heavily, then, under the stewardess'' guidance, she came to the seat next to him.


    "Hello, what''s going on?" Liu Yu frowned as he pointed at Fang Yi''s seat and said to the stewardess, "Our seats should be together. It suddenly moved to the back just now, and then this..."


    Liu Yu was speechless as he spoke, because Han Xue''er, who was sitting next to him, was looking at him with a smile. "I was the one who asked her to change seats. Is there any problem?"


    "Han Xue''er! ?" Liu Yu looked at her in shock. He did not know what to say for a moment.


    "I''m so tired. Why did you change your flight for nothing? I almost missed it." Han Xue''er waved the stewardess away. She laid on the back of the comfortable chair casually, revealing the curves of her body in front of Liu Yu''s eyes.


    Especially her pair of beautiful black legs, which were slightly raised, attracted Liu Yu''s eyes. Her makeup and dressing today had changed twice. She was completely going the sexy route. Even the laziness on the back of the chair exuded endless temptation.


    "You followed me! ?" Liu Yu looked at the beauty in front of him, but his heart was cold. He did not know what this young miss was going to do this time.

 Chapter 24 - Plane Hijack?

    "It''s all for a heartless man like you!" Han Xue''er said bitterly.


    "You''re the heartless man! Your whole family is a heartless man!" Liu Yu said angrily. Han Xue''er''s hypocritical behavior made him not know what to do.


    "Okay, I''m a heartless man." Han Xue''er saw that Liu Yu was anxious and recalled Helena''s words last night. She seemed to have made up her mind. Her face was slightly red. She stood up and went to Liu Yu''s seat. She leaned over and said, "Then can I change my mind?"


    As she spoke, she drew circles on Liu Yu''s body with her fingers. Her breath was like orchids, giving Liu Yu goosebumps.


    "No!" Liu Yu quickly refused..


    He did not expect Han Xue''er to say, "Then you admit our previous relationship?"


    "Of course not!" Liu Yu continued to deny, but Han Xue''er looked at him with a faint smile.


    Liu Yu did not expect Han Xue''er to be so difficult to deal with now. He did not know how to deal with it for a moment.


    "Your heart is beating so fast... What are you afraid of?" Han Xue''er put her hand on Liu Yu''s chest and whispered into his ear. Now her body was hanging on Liu Yu''s chair. From the other people''s point of view, it looked like she was laying on top of him.


    "Hurry up and get down." Liu Yu felt his throat dry. The fragrance of Han Xue''er''s body had entered his nose, and he could not help but want to hug her.


    "What? Are you going to make a move?" Han Xue''er''s face was also flushed red. Clearly, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. "Your girlfriend is right next to us... Ah, what are you doing!"


    Han Xue''er was about to continue to provoke Liu Yu, but she did not expect something to press against her lower abdomen. She used her hand to touch it and immediately screamed. Liu Yu''s expression was awkward. Some things were not under his control, especially when there was such a beautiful woman in his arms.


    "It''s all your fault!" Liu Yu could not help but complain. He felt extremely wronged when he saw Han Xue''er looking at him like he was a hooligan. You were the one who wanted to seduce me, and you were also the one who wanted to catch the thief. Women were indeed unreasonable.


    "I don''t care! You have to be responsible for me!" Han Xue''er looked at Liu Yu with tears in her eyes. Liu Yu felt even more troubled. He was laying on the seat and did not do anything. Instead, he was in a bad mood. Just as he was about to refute, the plane suddenly jolted!


    Han Xue''er''s arm could not hold on and she fell into Liu Yu''s arms. Liu Yu subconsciously caught her, forming an extremely erotic scene. A sexy beauty in black silk was laying in the man''s arms with a flushed face. She could not help but moan softly.


    Liu Yu felt that time seemed to have stopped. The air in the cockpit seemed to have frozen. He could only hear two hearts beating violently. He felt the touch of her body. Liu Yu did not move. He only hoped that Han Xue''er would quickly get up.


    Han Xue''er, who was laying in Liu Yu''s arms, instantly stiffened. Her mind was blank. Suddenly, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside. She struggled to get up, when she realized that it was the air stewardess standing at the junction of the first-class cabin and the captain''s cabin, she ran to the economy cabin in a panic.


    Liu Yu felt that Han Xue''er, who was in his arms, was struggling to get up. Suddenly, he had an impulse to pull her back into his arms. He sniffed the remaining fragrance on his body and felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.


    As Han Xue''er got up, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Her expression became very ugly. She got up and ran to the captain''s cabin, only to find that the captain''s cabin had been locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside.


    Seeing Han Xue''er''s panicked expression, Liu Yu realized that something might have happened on the plane. Seeing that Fang Yi was still calmly lying in the cockpit enjoying the beauty treatment, he felt slightly relieved. He turned his head and asked, "What happened?"


    "I don''t know, but it''s impossible for an anti-gravity plane to be bumpy. The last time it happened, it was because someone interfered with the normal operation of the plane."H an Xue''er''s expression was heavy.


    Liu Yu still did not understand. "Isn''t it normal to be bumping into clouds or something? Why do you have such a big reaction?"


    "Look outside," Han Xue''er said as she pulled the curtains open automatically. Only then did Liu Yu realize that there were no clouds outside the cabin. The flying environment could be said to be very excellent.


    "What are your thoughts?"


    "This situation happened because someone brought a strong interference signal source, which affected the control of the cockpit. If we don''t handle it properly and find the signal source in time and turn it off, then we can only parachute out," Han Xue''er said with a serious expression.


    "Parachute out?" Liu Yu was stunned when he heard that. "Could it be that the plane will crash! ?"


    Han Xue''er nodded with a heavy expression. When she reached the interface with the economy class, she realized that the passage was locked from the other side. There was no news from the stewardess who had just passed by.


    "You can''t get through?" Liu Yu also walked over. "Where are the flight attendants?"


    "I don''t know. The captain''s cabin has already been locked. The signal has also been blocked." Han Xue''er''s expression became more and more unsightly.


    Liu Yu opened his smartwatch and sure enough, it could only connect to the signal inside the cabin. The first page was actually an emergency notification from the captain, saying that there was a hijacker and that they had already taken control of the economy class. All first-class passengers, please pay attention to your personal safety, prepare for evacuation.


    Liu Yu''s expression changed drastically. He didn''t expect to really encounter a hijacker. He wouldn''t be so unlucky, right. However, the reality was right in front of him. He had no choice but to face it. Just as he was about to wake Fang Yi up, he suddenly heard Han Xue''er cry out in alarm, "Help..."


    He realized that at some point in time, a man in black was holding a segmented hidden dagger against Han Xue''er''s neck. He was dragging Han Xue''er toward the economy class.


    "What are you trying to do! ?" Liu Yu was shocked, only then did he remember that the three of them were not the only ones in the first class cabin. The cockpit at the back had been closed when he boarded the plane. There was probably someone inside, and the masked man in black in front of him should be one of them.


    "Put your hands on your head and squat on the ground. Our people have complete control of the entire plane. Don''t try to resist, or I will cut off your woman''s head!" The man''s voice came through the electronic loudspeaker after the processing.


    Liu Yu frowned and said, "She''s not my woman, but please don''t hurt the innocent."


    "Who are you laying to! I clearly saw the two of you hugging each other just now! You''re really lucky with women, this girl looks really nice!" The man said disdainfully.


    Liu Yu wanted to explain, but seeing that Han Xue''er was suffocated by the man, he could not care about these things. His brain was spinning quickly, trying to find a solution. He first comforted, "Okay, okay, okay. As long as you don''t hurt her, I''ll listen to you!"


    "At least you know what to do. Quick! Cover your head and squat down!" The robber shouted.


    Liu Yu could only slowly squat down. When he squatted down, he looked around and saw that there was an intelligent flight attendant robot behind the robber. He immediately had a plan.

 Chapter 25 - Hero Saving The Beauty

    Liu Yu connected to the laptop on his seat through his smart watch. The laptop with the graphics card changed was not as big as a briefcase. In addition to the lack of a physical screen, it was very convenient to carry around. Naturally, he did not choose to ship it, but carried it with him.


    Most of the network on the plane had been controlled by the robbers, which was also a necessary means of hijacking the plane. Before controlling the plane, they did not have the conditions to negotiate with the outside world, so they would cut off the external contact first, after controlling the plane, they would then negotiate with the outside world.


    Although the external network was no longer connected, part of the plane''s internal network was still in the hands of the captain. Otherwise, the captain would not be able to issue an asylum notice, and the intelligent flight attendant robot and the various cabin doors on the plane were the robbers'' primary targets of control.


    This kind of control method, to put it bluntly, was a competition of computing power. Since it was a competition of computing power, Liu Yu felt that he should have found a solution.


    Connecting to the laptop''s computing system, Liu Yu quickly found the main battlefield of the fight between the captain and the robbers.. A cold notification sounded, "System notification: whether to engage in invasive calculation."


    "Begin calculation!" Liu Yu had already squatted down at this moment, and the robbers snorted in satisfaction. Han Xue''er''s face was filled with despair. Liu Yu felt a little heartache for no reason.


    "The hack was successful. Do you want to proceed with the control panel?"


    As Liu Yu made his choice, his vision changed. The entire plane seemed to be in his hands. Only then did he realize that the plane did not seem to have been hijacked. Everything was normal in economy class. The reason the stewardess rushed over was because a passenger had suddenly fallen ill, the stewardess was dealing with it.


    The only thing that was abnormal was the first-class cabin. The other passenger was also a woman. Like Fang Yi, she was also enjoying the beauty service. She did not know about the hijacking that happened in the first-class cabin, the captain had indeed lost control of the first-class intelligent flight attendant robot.


    The entire first-class cabin seemed to be isolated from everything in the outside world. Even the communication that the captain sent out was forged by the robbers. Could it be that there was only one masked man in the entire plane?


    If that was the case, things would be easier. Looking at Han Xue''er, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier, Liu Yu could not care less. He controlled the intelligent flight attendant robot to give the robber a vicious blow.


    "Rip." The sound of electric arcs rang out, and the masked man fell to the ground. Han Xue''er also fell to the carpet. Liu Yu hurriedly got up and ran over. He kicked away the dagger in the robber''s hand and let the intelligent flight attendant robot control the robber.


    Then, he helped Han Xue''er who was still laying on the ground. Han Xue''er seemed to have received a shock just now. After she got up, her legs felt weak. Her body went limp and she fell into Liu Yu''s arms. This time, Liu Yu did not refuse and carried her into her seat.


    "Are you okay?" Liu Yu asked worriedly.


    "Did you save me?" Han Xue''er coughed lightly and asked weakly.


    "Uh, I guess so." Liu Yu suddenly felt a little awkward. Was he the hero saving the beauty? Looking at Han Xue''er in his arms, she was looking at him with anticipation. Fang Yi was laying in the cockpit next to him. Indeed, Love was a ray of light!


    "Don''t go!" Han Xue''er saw that Liu Yu was planning to return to his own seat and begged, "Can you accompany me?"


    Liu Yu''s body shook when he heard that. He unexpectedly sat down on the side and said, "The captain doesn''t seem to know about this yet..."


    "Thank you." Han Xue''er said with a red face.


    "Ahem, although you''re very hateful, it''s a traditional virtue of the blue planet to do what is right. I believe that anyone who encounters this kind of situation would not sit idly by when they have the ability to do something about it." Liu Yu heard Han Xue''er suddenly say this, he was a little embarrassed.


    "Do you know who did it?" Liu Yu had already gotten the intelligent flight attendant robot to remove the robber''s mask and record his information. He was preparing to hand it over to the flight attendant.


    "I don''t know, but it''s not important. There are so many people who want me dead every day, who would care?" Han Xue''er''s expression suddenly became desolate.


    "Uh..." Liu Yu suddenly wanted to say that he cared! However, he realized that the words were not appropriate. He rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Every family has their own difficulties."


    "Are you pitying me?" Han Xue''er said faintly.


    "A little." Liu Yu thought for a moment and nodded honestly.


    Han Xue''er was about to say something when the chief steward rushed over with his men. "Who hacked into the plane''s control system! ?"


    "Huh?" Liu Yu looked at them in confusion. Were these guys that slow to react?


    "It''s me." Han Xue''er stood up and said lightly.


    "Miss Han..." The chief steward frowned. He suddenly saw the robbers controlled by the intelligent flight attendant robot. "What''s going on?"


    "I''ve been hijacked," Han Xue''er said.


    "What! ?" The chief steward was shocked. A few electromagnetic pistols instantly locked onto Liu Yu. Liu Yu raised his hand helplessly to prove his innocence.


    Through Han Xue''er''s explanation, the flight attendant finally understood what had just happened. In addition to retrieving the data of the intelligent flight attendant robot to prove the authenticity of the matter, he was instantly extremely ashamed and hurriedly apologized to Han Xue''er. At the same time, he was extremely scared.


    This was the daughter of the Han Corporation. If something went wrong on his own flight, then his career would be over. Han Xue''er hid Liu Yu''s appearance.


    After all, hacking the anti-gravity plane''s control system was a very dangerous thing for an airline. Liu Yu was very likely to be listed as a key target for the airline to monitor, although it was not likely that they would take any drastic measures, but it was still not safe.


    But if it was the Han Corporation, there would be no problem. At the same time, Han Xue''er said that she would not announce this matter, which also made the flight attendant sigh in relief. Liu Yu was very satisfied with Han Xue''er''s actions. Combined with the incident just now, he suddenly realized that Han Xue''er wasn''t completely unreasonable.


    The air stewardess station was treated as a temporary prison, and the robber were locked up. The intelligent flight attendant robot was specially watching over him. Liu Yu and Han Xue''er returned to their own seats as if nothing had happened.


    This time, Han Xue''er didn''t insist on sitting with Liu Yu. She obediently sat behind Liu Yu, and Fang Yi''s seat returned next to Liu Yu''s seat. Han Xue''er''s actions made Liu Yu feel even more guilty. From time to time, he would look behind him and meet Han Xue''er''s affectionate gaze.


    "Is she really falling in love with me?" Liu Yu felt that he was panicking now, but Han Xue''er''s heart was already beaming with joy. The airplane battle that she had planned was a great success!


    It turned out that the hijacking time on the plane today was planned by Han Xue''er. It was so that Liu Yu could save the beauty in distress. Even the passengers who needed the help of the flight attendants were specially hired actors. It was to create the opportunity for Liu Yu!

 Chapter 26 - Again?

    And to be on the safe side, the other lady in the first-class cabin who had a beauty treatment was also arranged in advance. If Liu Yu was helpless, she would appear and create an opportunity for him. If Liu Yu could not even seize this opportunity, then Han Xue''er would be really disappointed in him.


    As for the price of disappointment, only Han Xue''er herself knew. A man who did not have the courage to take responsibility in the face of danger would not enter Miss Han''s line of sight, nor would he become a mainstay of the company.


    At this moment, the rude and unreasonable miss suddenly became obedient and sensible. This contrast made Liu Yu''s impression of Han Xue''er improve greatly. However, he already had Fang Yi. Although his impression of Han Xue''er had changed, he still did not think that she was the best partner for him.


    After what happened just now, Liu Yu also felt a little tired. He wanted to LAY down in the cockpit and sleep comfortably. However, the plane jolted again.. Liu Yu jumped up instinctively and looked at the weather outside. There were no clouds in the sky.


    Immediately after, the plane began to shake violently, as if it was constantly adjusting its flight path. A shrill alarm sounded in the cabin.


    "Alarm! Alarm! The plane has been invaded by an unknown signal!"


    "What''s going on! ?"


    "The plane has been hijacked?"


    "Are we going to die! ?"


    The entire plane was thrown into chaos, especially in the economy class. Everyone began to wail.


    "Psst... can you hear me? Cough cough... very good... Hello, passengers on the plane, I''m here to announce to you: You have been kidnapped!"


    "Mommy! I want my mommy!"


    "I''m not married yet, I don''t want to die!"


    ¡­


    The information about the robbers was made public on the plane''s channel, and the plane was once again in chaos.


    "My hostages, I''m very happy to see all of you wailing. Now let me see how many people there are in total... 35 people, very good! If you want to live, please listen quietly to what I have to say."


    The robber seemed to be a chatterbox. Through the electronic voice, he could also feel his excitement:


    "Now everyone, please transfer money to my account! I need 3500 bitcoins! You can transfer as much as you want, but if you can''t reach the number I want, then all of you please die! I''m looking forward to how big the waves will be when the anti-gravity plane rushes into the sea at high speed! Haha!"


    Seeing the account number that the robber announced on the communication, everyone fell silent. They didn''t want to die, but 3,500 bitcoins was a huge sum of money for anyone. On average, it would cost 100 bitcoins per person, most people couldn''t easily take it out.


    Including Han Xue''er. Although her net worth far exceeded 100 bitcoins, she had no way to quickly take out 100 bitcoins in cash.


    "100 bitcoins per person. If everyone wants to live, let''s start raising money now," A plump fatty said.


    "Who can lend me some money? As long as I can get out, I will sell all my assets and pay it back!"


    "I don''t have 100 bitcoins at all. What should we do!"


    "All my money is in my wife''s hands. She will definitely take my assets and remarry. I hate her so much!"


    "Hey, lawyer He? I want to make a new will now..."


    Fatty''s words were like a fuse. Some people began to borrow money, some began to complain, and some began to prepare to explain their funeral arrangements. Everyone was in a mess.


    "It can''t be! Again?" Liu Yu couldn''t help but wail.


    "What''s wrong?" The alarm woke Fang Yi up from the seat. She hadn''t figured out the current situation, but when she saw the public communication on the plane, she immediately understood. "Liu Yu, what should we do?"


    "Don''t worry. Let''s see if we can access the restrictions of the plane first," Liu Yu comforted her.


    "Liu Yu, can you connect to the plane''s control system now?" Han Xue''er walked over from behind.


    "Ah! Miss Han, you''re here too! ?" Fang Yi looked at Han Xue''er in shock.


    "What? I can''t fly?" Although Han Xue''er no longer spoke ill of Liu Yu, she didn''t have a good expression toward Fang Yi.


    "Of course not..." Fang Yi hurriedly denied, her voice becoming softer and softer. Liu Yu saw that Fang Yi was being bullied and could not help but ask, "Miss Han, what''s the matter?"


    "You just hugged someone in your arms, and now you call her Miss Han. Heh, this is what a man is like..." Han Xue''er snorted coldly. Seeing that Liu Yu''s expression had become unfriendly, she immediately said,


    "The current situation should be that the hackers have hacked into the plane''s control system. Try to see if you can regain control of the plane. If you succeed, you can resolve this crisis. I''ll assist you."


    As expected, the chief steward quickly ran over and begged Han Xue''er, "Miss Han, the plane has been hijacked by an electronic hijacker. You should have seen the information of the hijackers just now. Do you think you can regain control of the plane?"


    Han Xue''er looked at Liu Yu and saw him nodding slightly. She replied, "Okay, I''ll give it a try. Get the captain to open up all of his privileges to me. Liu Yu, come and assist me."


    Liu Yu answered straightforwardly, "Okay, Miss Han."


    Although the flight attendant did not understand why Miss Han needed this young man to assist her, being able to sit in the first class cabin and knowing Miss Han must not be a simple matter. He thanked her profusely and ran over to get the captain to open up his privileges.


    However, the economy class outside had completely exploded.


    "I don''t care. I don''t have any money. If you guys don''t pay for me, we can all die together!" Someone who did not have money began to give up on himself.


    "I don''t want to live anymore either. My wife is already not answering my calls! She must be waiting for me to die. If you guys don''t help me, then we will all die together!"


    "I don''t want to die yet. who has extra money? Please, as long as I can go back safely, I''ll pay you back double!" A middle-aged man in his thirties said. His future was still limitless. He didn''t want to die here right now.


    "I don''t want to live either. I''m an old man in my eighties. I''ve just made a will. You guys can do whatever you want..." An old man said indifferently. Instead, he looked at everyone with a gloating expression.


    "Old man, you''re so ruthless!" Someone was furious and was about to make a move.


    "Don''t be anxious. The robbers didn''t say that everyone had to pay 100 bitcoins. The people in the first-class cabin are even richer. After this incident, won''t they say anything?" Someone suddenly said.


    "Yes! Yes! Where are the people in the first-class cabin? !" Someone shouted, "Anyway, they have money. They can all pay! Otherwise, everyone will be finished!"


    ¡­


    The people in the economy class were furious. Someone had already come to the door of the cabin and started to bang on the door and shout. The purser was collecting computers for Han Xue''er and Liu Yu, trying to increase their computing power as much as possible. He did not expect that the people in the plane would start a fight.

 Chapter 27 - Battle

    "What a bunch of pig teammates!" The chief steward felt a headache coming on. Now that the entire plane was under the surveillance of the other party, he could not tell the people in economy class what Han Xue''er and the others were doing.


    If the robbers were desperate and controlled the plane to crash before Han Xue''er and the others regained control of the plane, then it would really be over. After all, no one wanted to risk their own lives to try it. Moreover, the chaos in economy class was also a kind of smokescreen, it could temporarily stabilize the hijackers.


    The hijacker seemed to have expected the disturbance in economy class. Not only that, he seemed to be very confident in his own technology. He did not restrict the communication between the plane and the outside world at all. Now, the whole world knew about the hijacking of this flight.


    The Public Security Bureau had already begun to search with all their might. They soon found traces of the hijacking. Through further investigation, they indeed found that someone planned to carry out a hijacking on this flight route, however, after verification, they found that all the clues pointed to another flight on the same route..


    It was the ordinary flight that took off 20 minutes earlier than the anti-gravity flight, which was the one that Luo Qiang was on.


    However, for some unknown reason, the hijacking was not carried out. Currently, that flight had been informed to control the suspicious people, and the risk had been temporarily eliminated.


    The crisis of the anti-gravity flight was still not resolved. The encryption method used by this robber was very sophisticated and did not belong to any of the existing ones. This shocked the relevant technical experts. They thought that the person who invented this encryption method must be a genius!


    It was not certain whether the robber was a genius, but he was a complete maniac:


    "Ahem... everyone on the plane, I''m very happy to see your desperate performance. As the controller of your lives, I announce that you can pay less, but you have to use human lives in exchange! Every death on the plane will be reduce the amount due by 100 bitcoins!"


    Everyone fell silent. Someone could not help but ask, "Are you going to watch us kill each other?"


    "Kill each other? ... Well, that''s a great description. Then, please start your performance!"


    The plane fell into a dead silence. Suddenly, someone remembered the old man who had already made his will. He could not help but ask, "Sir, since you are ready to die, can you..."


    "Of course not!" The old man said indifferently, "What right do you have to decide whether I live or die?"


    "Then you want to drag everyone to death?" Someone could not help but ask.


    "Young man, you have to think carefully. Do you think that everyone who can''t come up with 100 bitcoins will die?" A glimmer of light flashed in the old man''s eyes as he said lightly, "I''m just an old man. It doesn''t matter if I die, but do you think you can live?"


    Most of the people were silent. If the old man died, who would be next? Would all those who didn''t have the money die?


    "Then what do you think we should do?" Someone couldn''t help but ask.


    "Don''t you want to ask the people in the first-class cabin how much money they can afford?" The old man raised his hand and pointed at the door of the first-class cabin:


    "As far as I know, Han Xue''er, the daughter of the Han Corporation, seems to have boarded this plane. Although 3,500 bitcoin is a huge sum of money, it''s not impossible for the Han Corporation to afford it, right?"


    "Really?"


    "Yeah, how could the Han corporation not be able to afford it?"


    "Open the door! We want to see Han Xue''er!"


    "Send a message to the Han Corporation!"


    ¡­


    "President Han, the flight miss is on has been hijacked," Ah Wei reported.


    "Have you contacted the Public Security Department?" Han Xue''er''s father, Han Guoqing, had already learned the whole story through Han Xue''er''s communication.


    "I''ve already contacted them, but they haven''t found the exact location of the robbers."


    "Garbage!" Han Guoqing was furious. Han Xue''er was his only child. Although Blue Planet''s technology was highly developed, after Han Xue''er was born, he could not give birth to a second child. Therefore, he had always regarded Han Xue''er as his precious pearl.


    "The public opinion is very unfavorable to us now. The relatives of the other people on the plane have contacted us and want us to pay the ransom..." Ah Wei said as he braced himself.


    "These B * stards! Someone is leading the pace. Do you know who did it?" Han Guoqing frowned. He smelled something unusual.


    "The Bai family''s old man is also on the plane..." Ah Wei wanted to say something but hesitated.


    "Then there''s no doubt about it. It was his idea. This old fart!" Han Guoqing was furious. After a moment, he said, "Send a message to the outside world saying that we are willing to pay in advance, but a large amount of cash flow has been blocked by the Bai family. Now, we are negotiating with the Bai family."


    "What about the Miss?"


    "Xue''er said that she has a way. You can all cooperate with her. I believe her." Han Guoqing snorted coldly. "First, argue with the Bai family. You know what to do. If you dare to divert the trouble, then you will not have a good time either!"


    ..


    Liu Yu did not know about anything going on in the outside world. He was using his laptop to connect to the plane''s control network. He wanted to bypass the robbers and gain control of the plane.


    On one hand, Han Xue''er connected her smart bracelet to the computer that the flight attendant had collected, providing Liu Yu with additional computing power. On the other hand, she contacted Mouse. "Have you found the source of the other party''s signal?"


    "Miss, we''ve already gathered all the computing power, but we haven''t found it yet. However, I heard that this guy may be using a brand new encryption mode, which can increase the computing power consumption by ten times, so it''s very difficult."


    "So this guy''s computing power itself may not be outstanding, but it''s just that he''s caught a new encryption method, resulting in an increase in computation amount?" Han Xue''er immediately grasped the key point.


    "Yes, so there''s no good way yet, but the security forces in all the places are ready. Once they lock onto his location, they can immediately move out and guarantee to capture this guy within ten minutes," Mouse consoled.


    "I got it. Let me know if there''s any new information." Han Xue''er turned off the communication and told Liu Yu the intel.


    "A new encryption method?" Liu Yu muttered to himself. Perhaps he should change his train of thought.


    Previously, because he was afraid that he and the robber would directly fight for control of the plane, causing the other party to be desperate and cause the plane to crash in advance, he wanted to bypass the robber and directly seize control of the plane before locking onto the robber''s location.


    However, after such a long time of calculation, he still could not completely bypass the robber. It turned out that the other party had used a brand new encryption algorithm. After knowing this news, Liu Yu decided to first use a small portion of his computing power to disguise as the plane''s own computing system to make contact with the robber.


    Then, he would learn the other party''s computing logic. If he could grasp the other party''s encryption methods and rely on his own computing power advantage, he could instantly gain control of the plane and lock onto the other party''s location.

 Chapter 28 - Critical Moment

    "System Notification: A new computing method has been discovered. Do you wish to conduct in-depth learning?"


    "Indeed!" Liu Yu decisively chose yes. He did not expect the smart graphics card to notice the difference in the other party the moment they came into contact. It seemed that he still did not know enough about the smart graphics card. After this matter was over, he should conduct a test on the performance of the graphics card.


    "Everyone on the plane, it seems that you have not given up. You still want to fight with me for control of the plane? Now I will let you know how much control I have over the plane!"


    Liu Yu''s contact inevitably attracted the attention of the robbers. Although it did not pose a threat to him, this kind of rebellious spirit was naturally not allowed to exist.


    "Creak." The door between the economy and first class cabin opened automatically. Han Xue''er''s seat was moved to the position of the two cabin doors.. Han Xue''er, who was connecting to the plane''s control network, was exposed in front of everyone.


    "Miss Han!"


    "It''s Han Xue''er!"


    "Huh?" Han Xue''er looked at the chaotic mess outside and could not help but frown.


    "Miss Han, how much is your Han corporation going to pay for the ransom this time?" The old man who had made his will said first.


    "You are... grandfather Bai!" Han Xue''er recognized the old man who spoke. He was Bai Pengcheng, the founder of the Bai Corporation. She had heard of the things that happened before, and when she saw grandfather Bai, she instantly understood many things.


    "I don''t deserve it. Miss Han is really lucky to know an old man like me." Bai Pengcheng did not expect Han Xue''er to recognize him at a glance. If he had known earlier, he would have hidden behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire.


    "Over there, grandfather Bai is our Han family''s biggest partner. He controls our largest amount of cash flow. How much cash we can take out depends on your Bai family''s face!" Han Xue''er had already received a message from Ah Wei, she said humbly.


    "Miss Han, you can''t say that. How big is the Han Corporation? How can our Bai family take up your cash flow?" Bai Pengcheng immediately denied it. In this kind of situation, he could not admit it.


    "I can''t do anything if you don''t admit it. After all, you just made a will and are prepared to let everyone die with you. I mean, no matter how much, we still have to feed the fish with you, don''t we?"


    Han Xue''er could not be bothered to waste her breath on elder Bai anymore. She had just discovered that Liu Yu had used all his computing power and might have launched an attack on the robbers. Now, she had to do her best to cooperate with him.


    "What a sharp-teethed little girl." Bai Pengcheng''s expression was unsightly. Now, the people around him were looking at him with unkind eyes.


    "So it''s elder Bai. I''m so disrespectful. I wonder how much the Bai family is planning to pay for the ransom?" The fatty from the beginning had long become impatient. Elder Bai had never done anything good from the start. Now, he had to really disgust him.


    "Didn''t I already say it?" Grandpa Bai did not accept any threats at all. He said coldly, "I have already made a will. If any of you are willing to accompany me, I naturally have no objections."


    "Is this your own idea or the Bai family''s idea?" Fatty gritted his teeth and asked.


    "Of course it''s my own idea. It has nothing to do with the Bai family." Bai Pengcheng was very clear that if he died, so be it. However, he could not drag down the Bai family.


    "Hmph, what you said is easy. If you want to clear the name of the Bai family, no way!" Fatty said fiercely, "I''ll contact the Bai family right now. If they dare to disregard your life and death, hehe, even if I die, I won''t let them last until next year!"


    "What do you mean, kid?" Bai Pengcheng''s expression changed greatly. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Fatty''s face. He actually could not think of who this fellow was.


    ¡­


    Liu Yu did not have the time to care about the rubbish in the economy class. He was now focused on cracking the encryption algorithm of the robbers. After coming into contact with this algorithm, Liu Yu was attracted by this algorithm. Even he could see the exquisiteness of this algorithm.


    With only a little computing power, it was able to construct an extremely complex password, which made the difficulty of external hacking increase exponentially. Until now, Liu Yu had already invested all his computing power, but he was still unable to crack it.


    In other words, the computing power of the smart graphics card was not completely used to crack it. Instead, it was used for in-depth study of this algorithm. According to the computing power of the smart graphics card, the construction of the algorithm could actually be deduced in reverse.


    However, this encryption algorithm should have a fatal flaw, causing the smart graphics card to consume a large amount of computing power to perfect the algorithm. The robber obviously lost his patience. Liu Yu''s strong computing power also made him feel uncertain.


    Because of the flaw, he could not really control the operation of the algorithm. He could only constantly issue new instructions to make up for the flaw, and the constantly updated instructions provided a large amount of learning content for the smart video card.


    "My lovely hostages, you have really disappointed me. The plane is about to reach its destination, but your money has not been transferred yet, and not a single person has died. It seems that you do not plan to have a sea burial. Perhaps a gorgeous firework at the airport is your favorite destination!"


    "Don''t be anxious, we are currently raising money!"


    "Yes, yes! We are already raising money!"


    The people led by fatty started shouting.


    "Hmph! It better be like this. There are still people among you who are fighting with me for control of the plane. You really overestimate yourselves. I will give you five more minutes. If the money is not received, then you can blame yourselves for being useless!"


    The robbers shut off the communication, and everyone fell silent. It was fatty who broke the silence. "Now let''s calculate how much money we can raise. I can take out 200 bitcoins."


    "Hiss!" Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. In such a short time, he could actually gather 200 bitcoins in cash. This fatty''s power was indeed formidable!


    "I have 100 bitcoins here."


    "I only have 50 bitcoins here."


    "I have 30."


    ¡­


    "What about you first-class cabins?" Fatty frowned as he looked at the people in the first-class cabins. The gap was still very big, so he could only hope that there would be more people in the first-class cabins.


    "I... I only have 0.01 bitcoins..." The first person fatty asked was Fang Yi. She blushed and stammered, her voice pitifully soft.


    "What! ?" Fatty was furious. "Are you kidding me! ?"


    "No... I really don''t have any money..." Fang Yi was so anxious that she was about to cry. Han Xue''er could not stand it and said, "She was brought here by me. Our family can offer 500 bitcoin, no more."


    "Miss Han is indeed generous!" Fatty cupped his hands. Fang Yi looked at Han Xue''er gratefully and then looked at Liu Yu worriedly. He was sitting in the cockpit, his head full of sweat. There were only two minutes left until the time set by the robbers.

 Chapter 29 - So It’s Uncle Wang

    "There''s only one minute left. How''s the money going along?" The robber''s tone became unfriendly.


    "Right now! Right Now! There''s only 400 left." The fatty touched the beads of sweat on his forehead. Running around made his fat body unable to bear it.


    "You''re really stubborn. Why don''t you just kill the four with the least amount of money?" The robber said playfully. He seemed to have a special dedication to sowing discord among the crowd.


    "You don''t have to worry about that." Han Xue''er could not help but say. She had already received Liu Yu''s signal. The decryption was successful.. Now, she just needed to delay for a few more minutes.


    Liu Yu was also having a headache now because he had received a notification voice message from the smart video card. "Deep learning completed. Automatic upgrade started. It will take about a minute!"


    Initially, when he saw the words ''learning completed'', he was so excited that he almost jumped up. He was prepared to fight for control of the plane in one go, but he did not expect the video card to be upgraded at such a critical moment.


    "Hehe, Miss Han, right? Why did you give up? Weren''t you still fighting with me for control of the plane just now? Haha, I''ve changed my mind. As long as you kill Miss Han, I''ll let all of you go."


    The robber''s words shocked everyone. A person''s life in exchange for the lives of the people in the plane. No matter how they looked at it, it was a profit. It was obvious that many people were already tempted.


    "Everyone, wake up. He said to let you go? If he kills Han Xue''er and still wants to kill you, it''s the same predicament. Can you refuse him? And even if he let you go, do you think you can escape the Han family''s revenge?" Fatty shouted when he saw the restless people.


    "Humph! I''m a man of my word. If you want to live or die together, you have to think carefully! However, since you all didn''t agree, then I''ll add on my conditions now. I also want the life of that fatty who spoke just now. If Miss Han personally kills this fatty, I don''t want Miss Han''s life anymore. Now, only if the fatty personally kills Miss Han will I let all of you go."


    The robber''s words caused everyone to fall silent once again, hHn Xue''er stood up and said, "I don''t have any objections to using my life to exchange for everyone''s lives. However, you went back on your words and are not worthy of our trust at all. How can you prove that you will let everyone off after I die?"


    "Hmph, don''t forget your own situation. If you want to live, you can only believe my words. However, if you continue to talk nonsense with me, I will immediately crash the plane!"


    "Alright! I believe your words!" Liu Yu suddenly stood up at this time, seeing Han Xue''er looking at him, he gestured for her to finish, and then continued, "Now, everyone vote. Those who agree to kill Miss Han, raise your hands. As long as there are more than half of you, I will take action!"


    Seeing that someone was willing to take the initiative to take action, many people raised their hands. The first to bear the brunt was Bai Pengcheng. Liu Yu memorized these people''s appearances and then said to the robber, "Can I do it? If it''s possible, I will do it now."


    "Oh, although it''s not that fatty, I agree. I really like people like you who are willing to sacrifice themselves. You''re really too stupid!" The robber laughed arrogantly.


    "Okay, then I''ll do it!" Liu Yu said as he raised his hand and then gently flicked Han Xue''er''s head, making a "Pop" sound.


    "Ah! I''m dead!" Han Xue''er fell to the ground in response, and then the two of them laughed out loud. Everyone was stunned by the actions of the two of them.


    "Hey, robber! Are you satisfied?" Liu Yu shouted at the virtual screen with a smile.


    "Are you kidding me! ?" Although the robber was wearing a mask, one could feel his distorted expression from his voice. "Do you think I don''t dare to do it! ?"


    "No, of course you do, but you don''t have a chance anymore." Han Xue''er climbed up from the ground and said arrogantly to the robber.


    "What do you mean... Ah! Why is there no reaction?" The robber''s voice suddenly became panicked, then, they heard the sound of a collision coming from the other side of the screen. A group of security forces armed to the teeth appeared on the screen, and then the screen was cut off.


    "Miss Han?" Fatty called out, his voice filled with excitement.


    "I''m happy to tell everyone that I''ve successfully seized control of the plane just now, and with the help of others, I''ve locked onto the location of the robbers. Everyone should have seen it just now. The security forces have found him."


    Han Xue''er took a deep breath and said, "Now, we''re safe!"


    "Wow! ! !"


    "That''s great! !"


    "Long Live Miss Han! !"


    "Long live the security forces!"


    ¡­


    Everyone fell into a sea of joy. Han Xue''er brought Liu Yu and fatty to the first-class cabin. The cabin door was closed, and all the survivors were shut on the other side.


    "May I know your name, sir?" Han Xue''er asked sincerely.


    "My surname is Wang." Fatty Wang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Han. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"


    "Surname Wang?" Han Xue''er thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Could it be uncle Wang from the Qihang Group?"


    "I don''t dare to have you call me uncle." Fatty Wang smiled and said, "But you are too young. I have dealt with your father before. From now on, you can call me uncle Fatty."


    "Uncle Wang, why are you sitting in Economy Class?" Han Xue''er couldn''t help but ask. Ordinary people didn''t know that the Qihang group was no less powerful than the Han group. They were only obsessed with the field of technology and weren''t well-known by outsiders.


    What was even more legendary was that the boss of the Qihang Group was extremely mysterious. Most people only knew his surname was Wang and didn''t even reveal his name to the public. They didn''t expect to meet the real person here. No wonder he could easily raise a huge sum of 200 bitcoin.


    "This little brother is?" Fatty Wang looked at Liu Yu and asked Han Xue''er.


    "This is my friend. This time, I was able to quickly find the location of the robbers thanks to his help." Han Xue''er knew that Liu Yu did not want to expose her, so she took the initiative to introduce him.


    "Hello, CEO Wang. My name is Liu Yu." Although he did not want to expose his identity, Liu Yu had a very good impression of fatty Wang. He was calm in the face of trouble and was able to deal with it calmly. He was indeed a person who handled big matters, so he naturally did not mind forming a good relationship with him.


    "Young and talented. It seems that your Han family has a very unique vision. Haha." Fatty Wang looked at the two of them with a smile. Han Xue''er said with a red face, "Uncle Wang, don''t talk nonsense. We are just ordinary friends."


    "Yo Yo Yo, your face is red. If there''s a chance, I will tell your father. He will still listen to my words." Seeing that Liu Yu and fatty Wang still wanted to explain, fatty Wang waved his hand:


    "Let''s not talk about it anymore. I''ll give you young people more privacy. I''ll return to my seat. Hmph, there are some things that need to be settled."


    Hearing his words, Liu Yu and Han Xue''er''s faces turned cold. There were indeed some things that did not need to wait until they got off the plane. They should settle them now.

 Chapter 30 - Arriving At HQ

    The crisis on the plane had been averted, but the battle outside had just begun.


    "Xue''er did a great job this time." Han Guoqing looked gratified. "Ah Wei, go and inform the public relations department. This time, it was old dog Bai who made a mistake. Use this opportunity to make him pay. Also, Fatty Wang came to inform us just now. He will cooperate with us."


    "Okay, chairman." Ah Wei accepted the order. The thousands of people in the public relations department began to get busy nervously. In Blue Planet, where information was spreading rapidly, how to quickly and efficiently guide public opinion was a compulsory course for every public relations department.


    How to create Han Xue''er''s heroic image and the image of grandpa Bai''s selfish villain was just a basic procedure. The Bai family would certainly launch a series of counterattacks. How to deal with the following counterattacks was the beginning of the war.


    "Liu Yu!" Han Xue''er called out sweetly, "Thank you."


    "No need to be so polite. We are all in the same boat. I also have to thank you. After all, you have been pushed into the wind. The pressure that you will have to bear next will be much greater," Liu Yu said sincerely.


    Han Xue''er looked at him and gestured with her hand. She sent a message, "I have to thank you twice."


    The two of them suddenly looked at each other and smiled. There was a tacit understanding between them. After this collaboration, both of them had gotten to know each other better, especially the final act, which had brought them much closer to each other.


    Fang Yi, who was at the side, was left on the sidelines. When she heard fatty Wang''s words, she felt a sour feeling in her heart. Now that she looked at the two of them, they really looked like a couple. What was she then?


    She could not help but feel bitter in her heart. If only she could be like Han Xue''er and help Liu Yu instead of being a burden.


    The flight attendant also came over to express his gratitude to the two of them. However, the main target of his gratitude was Han Xue''er. However, Liu Yu had also received the airline''s VIP card, which allowed him to enjoy a 50% discount on all services. At the same time, he could enjoy free upgrades, free ticket changes, and other services.


    However, the most important thing was that he could take the exclusive green passage. Not only could he board the plane ahead of time, but he could even make the plane stay for a moment for himself to a certain extent. This was the symbol of his status.


    Han Xue''er would be very busy after that. A continuous stream of communication requests and some prominent people in economy class came over to express their gratitude. In the meantime, Liu Yu also got to know quite a number of big shots whom he could only look up to in the past.


    In the corner, Fang Yi became more and more lonely. Fortunately, not long after, the flight landed on the airport smoothly. This trip finally came to an end, and everyone''s hearts were relieved.


    When they left the terminal, they found that the outside was already full of people. On one hand, they were relatives and friends who were picking up the plane. Most of them were reporters who came after hearing the news. Han Xue''er could not hide. Han Guoqing also made arrangements for her to directly hold a press conference.


    She had also sought Liu Yu''s opinion, but Liu Yu naturally did not want to participate. Han Xue''er did not force him, only saying that she would go back to look for him at night. Seeing her winking at him, Liu Yu could not help but smile. This was the Missy Han who was so mischievous!


    Liu Yu brought Fang Yi out of the VIP passage quietly. They took a self-driving driverless taxi to the company''s headquarters -- Penguin Network Co. Ltd. All along the way, the news was full of related reports about the hijacking incident.


    "What''s wrong? Don''t you feel well?" After getting into the car, Liu Yu realized that Fang Yi was feeling a little down.


    "Nothing, I just feel a little tired. You should be more tired, right?" Fang Yi touched Liu Yu''s face with heartache, as if she wanted to imprint his appearance firmly in her heart.


    "I''m fine, you should rest too." Liu Yu hugged Fang Yi in his arms, feeling the softness in his arms. He could not help but think of Han Xue''er. When she hugged him, it seemed to be a different feeling?


    Fang Yi Lay in Liu Yu''s arms, but she smelled a faint fragrance. She couldn''t help but let her imagination run wild. This should be the smell of Han Xue''er, right? Could it be that she was the third wheel? She wanted to look for him at night. What did she want to do?


    In the reception room of the head office, Liu Yu and Fang Yi waited for Luo Qiang, who had rushed over.


    "Are the two of you okay?" Seeing that the two of them were unharmed, Luo Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.


    "We''re fine. Thank you for your concern, manager Luo." Although he did not know what Luo Qiang''s motive was, it seemed that the other party was indeed very worried. Liu Yu still expressed his gratitude.


    "There were robbers on our flight, but they were already discovered by the general security bureau before they even started the operation." Luo Qiang took two deep breaths, he complained, "I didn''t expect both flights to be in danger. What bad luck."


    "Yeah, we heard about it." The plane hijacking incident was so concentrated that it felt a little strange, especially since it happened twice on the flight he was on. However, now was not the time to be conflicted, Liu Yu said, "Since you''re here, let''s go and report."


    "Okay, I''ll bring you to report in first." After saying that, Luo Qiang brought the two of them to the venue specially prepared for this competition and checked in the three of them. The three of them were in single rooms, and under Liu Yu''s forceful request, he placed his room between Fang Yi and Luo Qiang.


    "You guys rest well. I''m going to meet Chief Xiang." After saying that, Luo Qiang stood up and exhorted, "Don''t run around in the headquarters. Some departments here involve the headquarters'' secrets. Even if you enter by mistake, you''ll get into big trouble."


    "Got it. Go quickly!" Liu Yu said impatiently. He needed to find a quiet place to see the changes in the video card.


    ¡­


    Luo Qiang came to the door of an office and gently knocked on the door. Immediately, a woman''s low voice came from inside, followed by a rustling sound. Soon, a man''s voice was heard, "Come in."


    Luo Qiang entered the room and said embarrassedly, "President Xiang, I''m sorry to bother you."


    "So it''s you. Why are you here so early today?" The man said unhappily. He was the vice president of the head office, the Chairman''s biological son -- Xiang Qingnan.


    "Speaking of which, it''s a bit unlucky. You should have heard about the incident on the plane..." Luo Qiang said embarrassedly.


    "Plane? Isn''t that the anti-gravity flight? What has it got to do with you?" Xiang Qingnan said discontentedly.


    "Liu Yu and the others were on the anti-gravity flight, and there were robbers on the flight I was on. However, the public security bureau discovered it in advance, and they were subjugated before they could hijack the plane," Luo Qiang explained.


    "They were on the anti-gravity flight?" Xiang Qingnan said in surprise and suddenly thought of something. "They?".


    "Liu Yu and Fang Yi, they''re both on an anti-gravity flight," Luo Qiang said honestly.


    "What''s their relationship?" Xiang Qingnan suddenly became interested.


    "Uh... boyfriend-girlfriend relationship," Luo Qiang said softly as he carefully observed Xiang Qingnan''s expression.

 Chapter 31 - Xiang Qingnan

    "Luo Qiang, don''t you know the company''s rules and regulations?" Xiang Qingnan asked with a cold face.


    Sure enough, Luo Qiang''s heart sank. He knew there would be a problem. Xiang Qingnan was especially concerned about the relationship between male and female colleagues in the company. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Chief Xiang, this Liu Yu originally wanted me to fire him, but didn''t you specifically ask him to come this time..."


    "So it''s my problem?" Xiang Qingnan asked back.


    "Of course not. This is a special situation. Hehe, you see...." Luo Qiang said with a smile.


    "The company has its own rules and regulations. Even if I''m the Vice President, I can''t violate them! If the rules are ignored, then what''s the point of specifying rules and regulations! ?" Xiang Qingnan said sternly.


    "Yes, yes, yes..." Luo Qiang repeatedly agreed.


    "You fired Liu Yu?" Xiang Qingnan snorted coldly. "Then why didn''t you fire Fang Yi?" As he spoke, he pulled out Fang Yi''s information and then looked at Luo Qiang with a sneer.


    Cold sweat trickled down Luo Qiang''s head. His current position could be decided by one sentence from Xiang Qingnan. He stuttered, "Because Liu Yu didn''t obey management and contradicted me in public. Everyone in this branch saw it..."


    "Are you sure there''s nothing between you and this Fang Yi?" Xiang Qingnan asked.


    "I''m sure! I swear! Nothing happened between me and Fang Yi!" Luo Qiang said hurriedly. In his heart, he was actually glad that he didn''t succeed. Now that he said it, he was confident.


    "Okay!" Xiang Qingnan slapped his thigh.


    "I believe you. Since it''s like this, I''ll go see the two of them when I have time. You don''t have to worry. Don''t give Liu Yu''s reward this time. We''ll talk about it after the competition is over." Xiang Qingnan signalled for Luo Qiang to leave.


    Luo Qiang bowed his head in acknowledgment and quickly left. After he left, he let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his head. He had passed this round. Although Xiang Qingnan did not mention his reward, as long as Liu Yu had it, he would have it. He was not worried about this, but what about the secretary in Chief Xiang''s room?


    In the past, when he went to Xiang Qingnan''s office, there was always an aloof secretary. He never smiled at his subordinates. Why wasn''t there anyone today? He had clearly heard a woman''s voice in the room just now... And why was the sound of Xiang''s thigh slapping so crisp. It was as if he wasn''t wearing pants.


    Luo Qiang thought about it and left Xiang Qingnan''s office. At that moment, the cold and aloof female secretary that Luo Qiang was thinking about was barfing her way out from under Xiang Qingnan''s desk. She changed her usual cold and aloof image and looked at Xiang Qingnan with hidden bitterness.


    "Director Xiang, you have taken a liking to that Fang Yi?"


    "Why? Did you feel it?" Xiang Qingnan did not deny it. Instead, he looked at the female secretary kneeling in front of him with interest. "Are you jealous?"


    "Of course not. I still want to have a few sisters to help me share the burden. You are really too amazing..." The female secretary said with an indescribable coquettish look on her face.


    Xiang Qingnan laughed happily. He liked this feeling. On one hand, he was strict with the company. On the other hand, he was a thief. Especially those beautiful married women who were his favorite. Whether it was the aloof female secretary or other lovers, they were all people with families.


    If Fang Yi was single, he would not be interested. However, since she was Liu Yu''s girlfriend, he would feel guilty if he did not do anything. Ever since the rendering was sent to the head office, he had investigated Liu Yu thoroughly and was very interested in him.


    In particular, he couldn''t understand why Liu Yu could render the design. He decided to meet this young man and Fang Yi at the same time. Looking at the photo, she should be the type of girl who was easy to control, it could also be used as a bargaining chip to control Liu Yu.


    Liu Yu did not know that he had been targeted. He locked himself in his room and connected the backup power supply and the network connection to the graphics card. This time, the evolution of the graphics card might be due to the in-depth learning of a brand new algorithm. The change was even greater.


    It had already left the scope of the traditional graphics card and became smaller in size. Liu Yu tried it and could pretty much put it on his smart watch. After connecting to the virtual monitor, Liu Yu took off his smart watch and began to change the graphics cards.


    After more than half an hour of installation and debugging, the brand new smart watch was completed!


    Liu Yu couldn''t wait to test the performance of the new graphics card, but there was a knock on the door. Through the face recognition at the door, it turned out to be Fang Yi. Liu Yu quickly opened the door by remote control and let Fang Yi in.


    "What''s wrong?" Liu Yu was still immersed in joy.


    "Manager Luo wants us to have lunch. He said he has something to say."


    "It''s fine if he has something to say, but he still wants to have lunch. How troublesome," Liu Yu muttered. However, since it was Fang Yi who called him, of course he could not deny her face. He followed Fang Yi to the staff restaurant of the head office.


    "Manager Luo, it''s rare for us to come out. Why don''t you treat us to some good food? How can eating in the staff restaurant be a good reflection of your status!" Liu Yu said sarcastically.


    "Ahem, Liu Yu, don''t underestimate the staff restaurant of our head office. There are real chefs here. They are not the intelligent robots of small companies, but real chefs. So, order whatever you want to eat!"


    Luo Qiang said with a smile. He didn''t care about Liu Yu''s sarcasm at all. Instead, he handed the menu to Liu Yu. Liu Yu took it and took a look. Sure enough, there was a portion made by a chef. The price was no different from other restaurants. It seemed that Luo Qiang had spent a lot of money today.


    Seeing him like this, Liu Yu was not used to it. There must be something wrong! Luo Qiang definitely didn''t have any good intentions in this meal, or he had something to ask.


    "Manager Luo, if you have something to say, just say it." As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling person. Liu Yu also became more polite and asked.


    "It''s nothing. Order the dishes first. Let''s talk while we eat." As Luo Qiang spoke, he ordered two dishes first, then he said, "Today, I went to see the Vice President of our company, Xiang Qingnan. He is our big boss, the son of chairman Xiang Qingtian. He might come to see you in the afternoon."


    "See us?" Liu Yu didn''t understand why Xiang Qingnan wanted to see him, but seeing Luo Qiang''s fawning look, he seemed to understand a little. "Manager Luo, you want us to say good things about you, right?"


    "Ahem, Liu Yu is really straightforward. Let''s be frank and not beat around the bush. I do have this intention, but that''s not the main purpose." Luo Qiang coughed twice and continued, "Manager Xiang has always been responsible for our company''s rules and regulations have always been responsible to you."


    "What does it matter?" Liu Yu did not understand, but Fang Yi seemed to have thought of something. "Manager Luo, you mean not to expose our relationship?"

 Chapter 32 - Virtual Conference

    "Ahem, yes and no." Luo Qiang coughed awkwardly and said, "You two can''t hide your relationship. Everyone in our company knows about it. If one asks around, you will be exposed, so there is no need to deliberately hide it."


    "Then what does manager Luo mean?" Liu Yu looked at Luo Qiang with puzzlement, not knowing what he meant.


    "It''s like this. director Xiang has always taken the company''s rules and regulations very seriously, so when he finds out about the relationship between the two of you, he might be very angry," Luo Qiang explained. Seeing that Liu Yu''s expression was a little unfriendly after listening to him, he quickly said,


    "But it''s nothing personal. Moreover, Liu Yu is the person that director Xiang pointed out to come, so nothing will happen. I just want to tell you in advance, don''t have any psychological pressure."


    Liu Yu originally wanted to say that he could just quit.. In any case, his relationship with Han Xue''er had already eased up, so there was no need for him to hide here. However, since Luo Qiang was trying to persuade him nicely, he would wait until he met Xiang Qingnan.


    "Manager Luo called the two of us to talk about this?" Liu Yu saw that Luo Qiang was no longer speaking, so he asked.


    "Hehe, that''s it. Also, if director Xiang asks about me, I hope the two of you will show mercy," Luo Qiang said with an accompanying smile.


    "Since we''ve already let manager Luo spend so much money, we won''t make things difficult for you. We will say what there is. We won''t add fuel to the fire. Don''t worry." Of course, Liu Yu wouldn''t lie just because of a meal, as long as he didn''t deliberately say bad things about Luo Qiang, he should be content.


    "Then thank you, director Liu." Luo Qiang quickly picked up a glass of water and raised his glass to Liu Yu. Drinking alcohol was not allowed in the head office at noon. This was also an iron law. This made Luo Qiang breathe a sigh of relief. He could spend less today.


    It had to be said that the food in the head office was indeed good. It did not lose out to the restaurants outside. Liu Yu was very satisfied with the food, but he still had the matter of testing the graphics card in his mind. After eating, he returned to his room, connected to the public network, and began the performance test.


    On the other side, Fang Yi was a little disappointed. Previously, although Liu Yu was not as close to her as glue, he would not hide in his room and ignore her like today. Although he had said in advance that he had something to deal with, but what was it?


    Han Xue''er even said that she would come to look for him tonight. Could it be about her? Fang Yi then thought about the situation on the plane today. The two of them worked well together. In the eyes of outsiders, they were a match made in heaven, and she didn''t even have the right to risk her life on the plane today.


    She couldn''t help but start to think if she was right to be with Liu Yu. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had a good impression of Liu Yu in the beginning because he was just an ordinary boy. What attracted her was his kindness.


    And now, Liu Yu, although she had confirmed their relationship, Han Xue''er suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and she didn''t know when he had become so rich. Not only did his ability become stronger, but his ideas also became more creative. This design competition seemed to be tailor-made for him.


    "Meeting reminder: Please choose whether or not to participate in the meeting invitation initiated by Luo Qiang (remark: Director Xiang''s meeting) ."


    After choosing to agree, Fang Yi discovered that Liu Yu''s holographic image had already arrived at the venue. There were two people in front of the round table. One was Luo Qiang, and the other was an aloof beauty. There was an empty seat between the two of them, it seemed to be for the Director Xiang that Luo Qiang had mentioned.


    As expected, a young man dressed casually came to the venue. When he saw Liu Yu and Fang Yi, he warmly said to Liu Yu,


    "You must be Liu Yu! I''m very happy to see you. I originally wanted to visit you in person, but something came up at the last minute, so I used the holographic image method. I hope I didn''t disturb your work."


    "Director Xiang?" Liu Yu asked tentatively.


    "Hi!"! "Look at my memory. My name is Xiang Qingnan. You all look very young. You can call me brother Nan usually. If you have any needs in the head office, feel free to ask. I will try my best to meet them. This should be your first time participating in a competition. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."


    Xiang Qingnan patted his head and said embarrassedly. His sincere smile made it easy for people to have a good impression of him.


    "Okay, brother Nan!" Liu Yu called out casually. He looked at Qingnan and nodded with satisfaction. He asked, "If I want to borrow a computer to carry out design operations, does the head office have a computer here that can provide it?"


    "Of course!" Xiang Qingnan said to the cold beauty, "Berna, I''ll leave this matter to you. Also, prepare a copy of the specific rules and requirements for the competition for Liu Yu."


    "Okay, director Xiang."Berna nodded and noted it down. Then, Xiang Qingnan said to Liu Yu, "Do your best! I have high hopes for you. If you can win the championship this time, I''ll give you a big gift!"


    "Then I''ll thank brother Nan in advance!" Liu Yu said confidently.


    "I like your confident look! If there''s time, I''ll look for you. Let''s have a good chat!" Xiang Qingnan said with a smile. Then, he looked at the time and said, "It''s time. I''ll leave first. You guys do your handover!"


    After saying that, he left the virtual conference room. Then, Berna began to introduce the relevant information about this competition to Liu Yu and Fang Yi:


    "This competition is divided into three stages. The first stage is the pre-selection stage. Participants are recommended by the various branch companies. The two of you are the contestants recommended by the branch company. The other portion of people are the contestants who were publicly selected."


    Berna pushed her eyes away and said coldly, "Don''t look down on the public selection contestants. They are all very strong. Some of them are even experts sent by the rival company to suppress the designers of our company, so you have to be careful."


    "Especially when some companies don''t conduct the selection during the recommendation. The strength of the contestants are not outstanding, so you have to be careful," Berna said as she looked at Fang Yi meaningfully. Fang Yi immediately felt her face burn.


    She did not struggle on this point, Berna continued, "The second stage will be the semi-finals. Four contestants will be selected from the head office and the public to participate in the finals. The top three contestants in the finals will receive generous rewards."


    "The semi-finals will be held in half a month''s time. You are here a week earlier than the contestants from the other branches. You can familiarize yourselves with the computers and blueprints used in the competition in advance." As Berna spoke, she drew out two streams of data.


    "This is the training room specially prepared for the contestants. If you need anything, you can contact me here. This is my address. If you have any questions, you can look for me at any time. In that case, the meeting is adjourned."


    Berna did not seem to leave any face for Luo Qiang. She directly announced that the meeting was adjourned, and everyone withdrew from their holographic projections.

 Chapter 33 - Start Training

    After the meeting ended, Liu Yu found the training room based on the location information sent by Berna. He had not only come here to train, but also to test the upgraded graphics card.


    Fang Yi told him that she was not feeling well and did not come with him. Although it did not feel good to leave Fang Yi alone in the room, Liu Yu still wanted to know the limit of the upgraded graphics card.


    In the training room, Liu Yu learned about the specific operation process of the competition. It was simple and crude, rendering. However, the rendering of the design drawings wasn''t ordinary. This kind of design drawings not only needed the support of computing power, it also needed the designer''s own design philosophy and thinking to be integrated into it.


    This way more details could be rendered during the rendering. The evaluation criteria for this kind of design drawings were the overall completion rate and the completion rate of the details. Computing power could only determine the latter. The former could only be completed with computational power under the guidance of the mind..


    After understanding this point, Liu Yu decided to use the computational power to render the design drawings. After an hour of hard work, Liu Yu completed 80% of the design drawings marked as a basic drawing library.


    Looking at the training records over the years, this result could only be said to be ordinary, there was nothing special about it. However, Liu Yu did not use the intelligent option of the graphics card this time, he did not know whether the difficulty of the design drawing this time was the same as the one he had rendered the last time.


    If it was like the last time, and the rendering was completed in one second, it might be a little too eye-catching. He still wanted to keep a low profile and develop himself until he had accumulated enough strength to soar to the sky.


    "Hmm? There''s a local option?" Liu Yu found that this place could support local tests. There was no need to upload the ranking, which meant that only he would know the results were good or bad?


    "That''s it!" Liu Yu rubbed his hands excitedly. This was what he wanted. He directly clicked on the highest difficulty level. He wanted to see if he could find the limit of the smart graphics card here.


    "Ding! Rendering complete!"


    "Ding! Rendering complete!"


    "Ding! ..."


    The most difficult rendering map was rendered by the smart graphics card in less than three seconds, not to mention other ordinary blueprints. He had nothing to do, Liu Yu was rapidly rendering all the blueprints while observing the changes in the design when the smart graphics card was rendered.


    This was also a rare learning opportunity for him. Due to the high degree of intelligence of the smart graphics card, the calculation path and methods it chose were all optimal solutions. It was just like how there could be many ways to solve a math problem, however, there was always one way to solve the problem faster than the others.


    The smart graphics card obviously chose the fastest, but because it was rendered too fast, Liu Yu''s brain could not keep up at all. When he wanted to observe carefully, the entire design map was often rendered. This was also after he slowed down the rendering of the graphics card by ten times.


    "There''s not a lot of greatest difficulty design blueprints here..." Liu Yu said discontentedly. If others heard this, they would definitely vomit blood, their Penguin Network Limited had always been famous in the industry for the number of designs with the highest difficulty.


    There were even more designs with high and medium difficulty. That was why each branch company had designs with medium and high difficulty to screen for talented designers. Otherwise, Liu Yu would not have had the opportunity to come into contact with such designs.


    "Let''s start learning from the lowest difficulty." Liu Yu reluctantly opened the low difficulty design and began to render it with the help of the smart graphics card. At a super slow speed of 10,000 times, Liu Yu''s mind finally caught up with the speed of the smart graphics card.


    The rendering speed of an average of 10 minutes made Liu Yu''s brain work at a high speed. Soon, he entered a state of flow and completely forgot about the passage of time. It was not until Fang Yi''s call in the afternoon that Liu Yu woke up from his dream and looked at the time in a daze, he was about to miss dinner time.


    After returning to his room to wash his face, Liu Yu felt refreshed and did not feel tired at all. It was as if he had a brand new feeling when he looked at the world in front of him. He did not know that he had entered an extremely high realm as a designer.


    As the saying goes, a mountain is no longer a mountain, and a cloud is no longer a cloud. Everything changed before his eyes. When he came to the restaurant with Fang Yi and saw him looking around excitedly, Fang Yi asked in puzzlement, "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing. I just feel that everything is very interesting now," Liu Yu said after thinking for a while.


    "Is it the result of today''s training?" Fang Yi said enviously.


    "Yes, you should come with me tomorrow." Liu Yu just remembered that Fang Yi was also going to participate in the competition, so he asked, "How was your rest today?"


    "It''s almost done... Miss Han?" As Fang Yi said this, she suddenly saw a beautiful figure walking toward the two of them.


    "Huh?" Liu Yu was stunned. He looked up and saw a young girl dressed in fashionable clothes walking towards him. It was Han Xue''er. Liu Yu could not help but feel a headache when he felt Fang Yi pulling his arm slightly harder.


    "What are you doing here?" Liu Yu could not help but complain when he saw Han Xue''er getting closer and closer.


    "I''m here to look for you. Didn''t I say that I would look for you tonight?" Han Xue''er said matter-of-factly.


    "Are you done with your matters over there?" Liu Yu asked in return.


    "Of course... No, but those matters aren''t as important as looking for you!" Han Xue''er said slyly, not caring at all about Fang Yi who was holding Liu Yu''s arm.


    "So, what exactly do you want to do?" Liu Yu couldn''t help but hold his forehead, feeling a great headache.


    "I''m here to repay the favor! To repay the favor of you saving my life!" Han Xue''er walked closer and closer, enunciating each word clearly.


    "For saving your life?" Fang Yi was stunned. Liu Yu wanted to say that he would beg her to stay away from me, but he did not have the chance to say anything, Han Xue''er immediately went up to Fang Yi and said, "Let''s go, I''ll tell you. You don''t even know what happened on the plane today!"


    Before Liu Yu could react, Han Xue''er actually pulled Fang Yi away, leaving him to the side.


    "Where''s the promise of repaying me? You mean stealing my girlfriend away?" Liu Yu stood alone on the spot, helplessly spreading his hands. He sighed, but still chased after her. After all, he did not know what she would say to Fang Yi.


    ¡­


    "That''s how it is. I won''t use the family''s resources, and you won''t have sex with Liu Yu. Let''s start a fair competition!" Han Xue''er said generously.


    A crow flashed across Fang Yi''s face, followed by a string of ellipses. She was really defeated by Miss Han''s brain circuits. She clearly knew that she was Liu Yu''s girlfriend, but looking at how magnanimous she was patting her chest, it was as if she was the third party who stepped in.


    She could still confidently say that she wanted a fair competition. She really didn''t know what to say. Coincidentally, Liu Yu followed her.


    "What are you two talking about?"

 Chapter 34 - The Hand Reaching Out To Fang Yi

    "It''s a deal! A fair competition!" Han Xue''er saw Liu Yu and warned Fang Yi. She didn''t give her a chance to refute and ran away.


    Liu Yu was left with a face full of question marks and Fang Yi, who didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "What''s the situation?" Liu Yu couldn''t help but ask Fang Yi. After listening to Fang Yi''s story, Liu Yu was really speechless. He covered his forehead and said, "Ignore her. She''s a lunatic. She''s a classic example of being a big Miss and being a fool."


    "She said that I don''t agree she would do a night attack on you." Fang Yi said with a red face.


    "Night attack? What''s that?" Liu Yu was stunned..


    "It''s getting into your bed and having sex with you in the middle of the night." Fang Yi said faintly, "Are you tempted?"


    "What? Impossible!" Liu Yu quickly retorted, but his pounding heart betrayed his thoughts. Some indescribable scenes had already surfaced in his mind.


    "Hmph! You''re lying! Men are indeed big hogs!" Fang Yi pretended to be angry.


    "Who''s lying!" Liu Yu quickly began to coax her clumsily. The two of them dragged each other to the restaurant. They did not see that everything just now was recorded by Berna in the distance.


    Xiang Qingnan''s office.


    "Han Xue''er?" Xiang Qingnan looked at the virtual screen in front of him with great interest and said playfully, "Interesting, really interesting. Liu Yu, oh Liu Yu, you really make me look forward to it, but I''ll take down Fang Yi first..."


    Xiang Qingnan dialed a number.


    "Director Xiang, you''re looking for me?" Luo Qiang''s virtual image appeared in Xiang Qingnan''s office.


    "I heard that you''re interested in Fang Yi?" Xiang Qingnan asked.


    "No, no, don''t listen to people''s nonsense. She''s Liu Yu''s girlfriend, how can I..." Luo Qiang quickly explained.


    "That isn''t important. I''m not questioning you. Whether you''re interested or not, you need to get in touch with her now and be a bad person. Do you understand what I mean?" Xiang Qingnan interrupted him.


    "Uh, can you be a little more clear?" Luo Qiang said carefully.


    "Come to my office now." After Xiang Qingnan said that, he hung up the call. At the same time, he dialed another call and said, "Come to my office now."


    Not long after, a beautiful woman in a business suit came to Xiang Qingnan''s office. She waved at him. "Don''t close the door. Someone is coming later."


    "Do you want to play together? You''re so bad!" The beautiful woman smiled and came to Xiang Qingnan. She bent down and began to serve him.


    Not long after, Luo Qiang came to the door. Seeing that the door was open, he knocked on the door symbolically. After getting permission, he entered the door and saw Xiang Qingnan sitting in front of the office like last time.


    "Close the door. Come here." Xiang Qingnan waved at him.


    "Okay." Luo Qiang closed the door and said as he walked, "Director Xiang, I don''t quite understand what you just said... Ah, director Xiang, I didn''t see anything!"


    Luo Qiang came to the desk and saw the beauty. She was the front desk of the company. He had seen her when he came to the head office. He heard that she was already married. He didn''t expect that she was actually serving Xiang Qingnan now.


    "No, you saw everything." Xiang Qingnan patted the head of the front desk clerk and pointed at Luo Qiang. The beautiful woman glanced at Luo Qiang and said reluctantly, "He doesn''t seem too capable."


    "You''ll know after you try?" Xiang Qingnan said faintly.


    Luo Qiang stood in the same place as if he had been cast with a spell, allowing the front desk clerk to fiddle with him. His brain seemed to have gone haywire. It was not that he had not heard of the rumors in the company, but he was still greatly shocked by what he saw.


    After a long time, Luo Qiang was already drenched in sweat. Xiang Qingnan began his crusade on the other side. He panted heavily and asked, "Do you understand what I mean now?"


    "You mean Fang Yi?" Only then did Luo Qiang remember his purpose for coming here.


    "Yes, regardless of whether you are interested or not, she will come here, just like her." Xiang Qingnan pointed at the beauty at the front desk between the two.


    "..."Luo Qiang swallowed hard and felt his throat dry. Although he was interested in Fang Yi, it didn''t mean that he was willing to share it with others. But this feeling seemed to be not bad?


    "Excited?" The beauty at the front desk smiled and patted Luo Qiang. "You are indeed not a good person!"


    "Haha!" Luo Qiang laughed dryly. Xiang Qingnan was very satisfied with this result. After the three of them finished their exercise, he explained to Luo Qiang what to do, especially how to use Han Xue''er''s influence on Fang Yi.


    How to use Fang Yi''s weakness in personality to control her, and even raise Liu Yu''s value to make her worship Liu Yu, and then use this psychological gap to force her step by step into the abyss¡­


    After listening to these words, Luo Qiang was full of admiration for Xiang Qingnan. It turned out that when it came to dirty matters, it was these rich people who were dirty!


    However, driven by Xiang Qingnan''s promise and his own greed, Luo Qiang still came to the door of Fang Yi''s room.


    "Dong Dong Dong" The knocking on the door interrupted Fang Yi''s thoughts. Liu Yu did not spend the night in her room. After all, living in the head office was different to living at a hotel. There was always the issue of influence, especially since Liu Yu was the dark horse that the company favored. She did not want to delay his future because of her.


    She opened the portrait identification system and saw that it was Luo Qiang. It was already night time, so she did not want to open the door. She used the keypad and asked, "Manager Luo, what''s the matter?"


    "Fang Yi, I have something to talk to you about." Luo Qiang seemed to know that she would refuse, so he quickly said, "It''s about Liu Yu."


    "It''s about Liu Yu?" When Fang Yi heard this, she couldn''t help but open the door.


    "I see that you''re not in a good mood." Luo Qiang keenly observed that Fang Yi''s expression was a little unnatural. When he thought of Xiang Qingnan''s analysis, he couldn''t help but admire him again.


    "It''s nothing. It''s still about the hijacking incident this morning. I still have some lingering fear," Fang Yi said casually.


    "Then I''ll make it short. You should rest early," Luo Qiang said as he closed the door of the room. "Director Xiang is paying special attention to Liu Yu this time. He will specially look for you two this afternoon to talk. I want to know your thoughts."


    "What?" Fang Yi didn''t understand what Luo Qiang meant.


    "You''re also a contestant. Have you forgotten?" Luo Qiang reminded her.


    "You know my situation. I''m not that good at this. I came here because of you..." Fang Yi couldn''t help but complain.


    "So you''re ready to give up?" Luo Qiang said calmly.


    "Of course not. It''s just..." Fang Yi immediately denied it. However, people should know their limits. She didn''t think that she could make a difference in this competition.


    "Let me get straight to the point. What do you think is the biggest obstacle between you and Liu Yu?" Luo Qiang asked.


    "Huh?" Fang Yi did not expect Luo Qiang to ask this question. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

 Chapter 35 - The Semi-Finals Began

    "Do you think it''s Han Xue''er?" Luo Qiang''s tone suddenly became serious.


    "I. . . I don''t know..." Fang Yi''s words were a little lacking in confidence.


    "Of course not. You can''t imagine how outstanding Liu Yu is right now. Director Xiang thinks highly of him. As long as he performs well this time, even if he can''t win the championship, Director Xiang will transfer him to the headquarters and train him as a part of the manager candidate!" Luo Qiang said in a low voice.


    "Huh! ?" Fang Yi knew that the position of department manager in the company could be considered as the position closest to the top leadership. With the power of Penguin Group, this was simply impossible. She didn''t expect that Liu Yu could actually reach this stage.


    "So what do you think is the biggest problem between the two of you?" Luo Qiang looked at Fang Yi and didn''t wait for her answer. Instead, he said coldly, "It''s because you''re not outstanding enough."


    Fang Yi was silent.


    "So when Liu Yu reaches this position, even without Han Xue''er, there would still be Li Xue''er, song Xue''er, and Wang Xue''er. They would all be better and more charming than you. Do you think Liu Yu can resist the temptation once, and resist it a thousand times?"


    Luo Qiang did not give Fang Yi time to think. Instead, he continued, "So you have to thank Han Xue''er."


    "Huh?" Fang Yi was stunned when she heard that.


    "Because her appearance made you valuable to the company," Luo Qiang said seriously.


    "Valuable?" Fang Yi did not understand what value she had to the company.


    "Do you feel that Han Xue''er is sincere towards Liu Yu?" Luo Qiang asked.


    "I don''t know. Manager Luo, what exactly are you trying to say?" Fang Yi became more and more confused as she listened.


    "Liu Yu has a good impression of Han Xue''er. I guess you can feel it too," Luo Qiang said bluntly. "But Han Xue''er probably only wants to control Liu Yu, and does not really like him."


    Fang Yi shook her head helplessly. She didn''t know what had happened between Liu Yu and Han Xue''er.


    "So whether it''s to protect Liu Yu or to keep Liu Yu, the company will give him a better position, and will also provide him with the best spouse."


    "Spouse?" Fang Yi looked at Luo Qiang in shock.


    "That''s you." Luo Qiang stared at the girl and said seriously, "If it weren''t for Han Xue''er, the company wouldn''t be in a hurry. Liu Yu will encounter many temptations and you will be easily eliminated. But with Han Xue''er, your value will be shown."


    "The company will make you a person who can compete with Han Xue''er and help Liu Yu''s career. But these are all given to you by the company, and Liu Yu will stay in the company because of you. It''s very simple logic, you should be able to understand it." Luo Qiang finished everything in one breath, he looked at Fang Yi quietly.


    "But can I really do it?" Fang Yi was not confident at all.


    "This competition is your chance. Director Xiang has prepared half a month of closed-door special training for you. Berna will personally train you. She was once a genius contestant who received special training from Director Xiang and became the second runner-up in the competition. Now, she is the company''s secretary general, so that you can stand out in the competition."


    "Can I really do it?"Fang Yi was a little in disbelief.


    "This is what director Xiang just told me. I immediately came over to tell you that when you can become Liu Yu''s assistant, you will be able to confirm the fact that you are his girlfriend. If you don''t even have this little bit of confidence, you will lose him soon," said Luo Qiang.


    "I need to think about it."


    "Give me an answer tomorrow morning. The time for the competition is very close. I hope you can seize this opportunity." After saying that, Luo Qiang left the room, leaving Fang Yi to think about what she had just said.


    The next day, Fang Yi told Liu Yu''s head office to arrange for Berna to undergo a closed-door special training for her. In order to be able to stand side by side with him on the podium, she decided to participate.


    Liu Yu naturally supported it. Of course, he also hoped that Fang Yi would become more outstanding. His method was not suitable for other people, so even if he wanted to guide Fang Yi, he could not get the gist. It just so happened that the head office gave him this opportunity.


    However, he did not know that this farewell had caused him to lose Fang Yi forever. Or rather, the Fang Yi he knew had already left this world forever.


    Fang Yi began her special training, and Liu Yu also plunged into the training room. Other than eating, he did not come out. From analyzing a basic design diagram every ten minutes to analyzing a basic design diagram every minute, Liu Yu only used three days.


    From the fourth day, Liu Yu began to analyze intermediate design drawings. By the time the contestants from the other branches began their training, he had already begun to analyze advanced design drawings. In advanced design drawings, he finally showed his advantage as an earthling.


    Regardless of whether it was a basic design drawing or an intermediate design drawing, they were still essentially dominated by calculation. Design was only a guide and supplement. However, advanced design drawings truly reflected the understanding and insight of design, this aspect was extremely precious on blue planet.


    However, as a former Earth design dog, Liu Yu had a huge advantage in this aspect. Although the difficulty of the advanced design had increased sharply, Liu Yu was enjoying it because he discovered the joy of design, in particular, mechanical repetition was replaced by computational power.


    The pleasure of pure design made him forget to eat. On the night before the semi-finals, he finally finished analyzing all the advanced design drawings. At the same time, the single-player system sent out a notification: "All advanced design drawings have been successfully rendered. Hidden function activated."


    "Hidden function?" Liu Yu was stunned. Could this be a special reward from completing the game?


    "Downloading Cloud Palace City design... Ding, download successful! Successfully rendered Cloud Palace City design. You will directly become the champion of this designer competition!"


    "Directly become the champion?" Liu Yu was not very interested in the champion, but he was very interested in this design that could directly make someone become the champion.


    "Then let me try it." Liu Yu started to render the design of cloud palace city in high spirits.


    With just a glance, Liu Yu was deeply attracted by this design. Whether it was the description of the details or the advanced design concept, it was an eye-opener for Liu Yu. It was like the call of another world, making him sink into it and unable to extricate himself.


    When he started to render it, all the contestants had already drawn lots. In the first round, Liu Yu was lucky enough to miss the round. He would directly participate in the second round of the selection. But he knew nothing about this.


    The next day, the semi-finals officially began. Fang Yi was the first to go on stage. She was wearing a professional outfit with exquisite makeup on her face. Her cold and aloof temperament amazed everyone. In the first round of the competition, she was the first to participate in the second round of the selection with a completion rate of 90% .


    Liu Yu did not see all of this because he had spent the whole night last night. At nine o''clock in the morning, he finally fell asleep with satisfaction and perfectly missed the first round of the competition.


    A second before the start of the second round, he was dragged onto the stage by Luo Qiang.

 Chapter 36 - He Forfeited?

    Liu Yu sat on the stage in a daze. When he heard the notification for the start of the match, he climbed onto the table with a thud. Soon, he snored.


    "F * ck, no way. What''s going on? How did he fall asleep just like that?"


    "Even if he didn''t sleep all night, he wouldn''t be so tired, right?"


    "He''s giving up, right? Can''t he just give up? He wasted his free pass into the second round."


    The surrounding crowd expressed their jealousy towards Liu Yu''s quality of sleep. Xiang Qingnan looked coldly at Luo Qiang. "What''s going on? He didn''t appear at the draw last night. Didn''t you notice anything unusual?"


    "I went to the training room to look for him last night. At that time, he was in good spirits and seemed to have learned a lot.. I even specifically told him to rest earlier tonight..." Luo Qiang had a sad face. Who would have thought that Liu Yu would do such a thing.


    "Are you sure that he seemed to be in good spirits yesterday?" Xiang Qingnan frowned. "Even if he didn''t sleep all night, he can''t be this sleepy!"


    "I''m sure!" Luo Qiang quickly patted his chest to guarantee. Xiang Qingnan snorted coldly. "You think of a way to wake him up. If he doesn''t make it to the finals today, you should know the consequences."


    Luo Qiang shivered and quickly agreed. However, he was cursing in his heart. This kind of large-scale competition was broadcasted live all over the internet. As long as he appeared at the scene, he would be suspected of interfering with the competition. No matter how he operated it, it wouldn''t feel very good.


    He thought of many ways, but they were all rejected. Luo Qiang was like an ant on a hot pan. He walked around the competition venue again and again. Finally, he thought of a method that wasn''t a method. He increased the volume of Liu Yu''s notification sound.


    Every contestant would time their own renderings. The competition also allowed them to bring their smartwatches into the competition. After all, if they relied solely on the human brain, their computational ability wouldn''t be able to keep up with the competition. Moreover, it wasn''t realistic for real renderings to not have the assistance of computational ability.


    However, in order to prevent any negligence on the part of the contestants, the organizers would still provide reminders when they were halfway through the competition and ten minutes before the end of the competition. The volume was fixed, and the contestants could adjust the volume according to their own conditions.


    In the middle of the match, Luo Qiang doubled the volume of Liu Yu''s reminder, but it didn''t have any effect. Liu Yu was still laying on the table like a dead pig. It wouldn''t be right to say that it didn''t have any effect because he had changed his position.


    Luo Qiang, who was on the sidelines, was dumbfounded. The next reminder was the last ten minutes. Although Liu Yu was good, the players in the same arena were all experts. No matter how good he was, he couldn''t use ten minutes to render someone else''s work for an hour, right?


    Xiang Qingnan''s gaze gradually became unkind. Luo Qiang was very flustered now. He wished he could rush up and kick Liu Yu awake. If he had known earlier that he would drag him onto the stage, he would have poured a bucket of cold water on him to wake him up.


    He originally thought that he would wake up once he entered the stage. Who would have thought that he would lay on the table and fall asleep at the beginning of the match.


    As time passed by, Luo Qiang''s heart had already fallen to the bottom. After half a month of training, Fang Yi had already completely become Xiang Qingnan''s slave. He had also recklessly humiliated her under Xiang Qingnan''s instructions. However, how happy he was before was how panicked he was now.


    He was already very clear about Xiang Qingnan''s methods. If this matter was messed up, his end would only be worse than Fang Yi''s.


    On the stage, Fang Yi did not seem to care about Liu Yu. She maintained her calm and cold demeanor from the first match and elegantly analyzed the design. She did not look like some of the contestants who were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.


    Naturally, she became the focus of everyone''s attention.


    "That beauty, number three, is very impressive."


    "She''s new, right? She''s just like that in the first match. She directly crushed those men. She''s practically a goddess!"


    "What do you mean by ''practically''? She''s now my goddess!"


    ..


    Finally, it was the last ten minutes. In one breath, Luo Qiang raised Liu Yu''s notification tone to ten times its original volume. If it weren''t for the fact that he was afraid that Liu Yu''s voice would be too loud and affect the other contestants, he would have raised his voice to a hundred times its original volume.


    However, the loud notification tone finally had an effect. Liu Yu crawled up in a daze.


    "Huh? The competition has already started?" Liu Yu scratched his head in pain. Last night, he had been analyzing the blueprints of Cloud Palace City. The extremely high difficulty and the burst of design thinking gave him an incomparable sense of satisfaction.


    It was as if he had taken drugs. After spending an entire night, he had finally completed the analysis. The deep tiredness flooded him like a tide. Now, the side effects of using his brain too much were starting to appear. He felt like his head was about to split open.


    "Only nine minutes left?" Liu Yu looked at the time and then looked at the design for the competition.


    "So simple." Liu Yu felt a little bored. It was more fun to sleep. He looked around and saw that everyone was immersed in their analysis. Fang Yi, who was in the crowd, was unusually eye-catching.


    "You look very beautiful today!" Liu Yu could not help but praise. However, he did not know that the moment he got up, everyone''s eyes were focused on him.


    "D * mn, why didn''t you hurry and render your work when you got up? Instead, you looked at the beautiful girl. You''re really shameless!"


    "That''s right. Do you even need to say that beauty # 3 is beautiful?"


    "Looks like you''ve given up."


    Everyone was talking at once. Looking at Liu Yu holding his head, many people thought that he had just woken up from a hangover.


    Luo Qiang was also secretly anxious. It was not easy for him to wake up, but he had to do something serious. He felt that his heart attack was about to be triggered by Liu Yu.


    "Ah! It''s so uncomfortable!" Liu Yu rubbed his eyes in pain. After a moment, he finally relaxed. There were only three minutes left. He patted his head and carefully looked at the design in front of him.


    Liu Yu began to look at the design but immediately lost his interest. It was still more interesting to look at a beauty.


    "Look at No. 3''s speed. I feel that she should be able to complete more than 80% of the design."


    "That can''t be. This time, she''s using a design for the intermediate difficulty. Although it''s definitely the easiest of the intermediate difficulty, it can''t be more than 60% in an hour, right?"


    "What do you know? They''ve all gone through specialized training. They would give up on the hardest 10%. If they''re lucky, their completion rate can reach 90% ! But generally, if they can reach 80% , it''s basically guaranteed win."


    "So that''s how it is. She still looks very relaxed. It''s unbelievable."


    ¡­


    "The competition is over. Please stop rendering." An electronic notification sounded. The system displayed everyone''s work in front of everyone.


    "See, I''m not wrong. 82 percent. That''s the champion for the semi-finals for sure."


    "Hey, look at the answer."


    "The answer? That shouldn''t be. This..."


    "F * ck, it''s not the answer. It''s the contestant completing a 100% rendering!"

 Chapter 37 - Cheating?

    Everyone was attracted by the 100% rendering. When they saw the contestant''s number, they were stunned.


    "It''s that sleeping God! ?"


    "No way. He''s only been awake for five minutes?"


    "Five minutes? At most three minutes."


    "F * ck, he must have cheated!"


    "Right! He must have cheated!"


    "Which branch is he from? That''s too low!"


    ¡­


    Ignoring the discussions of the others, Luo Qiang and Xiang Qingnan looked at Liu Yu in shock. They knew very well that Liu Yu did not cheat, but to render a 100% design in three minutes, this level was indeed a little heaven-defying.


    The results were soon announced. Liu Yu won first place with 100% rendering, and Fang Yi won second place. This time, the onlookers were in an uproar!


    "Shady! Shady!"


    "Give my goddess justice!"


    "That''s right! We want an explanation for our goddess!"


    ¡­


    "Please calm down, everyone. After our technical examination, contestant number six, Liu Yu, did not violate any rules..."


    "Bullsh * t! There''s behind the scenes dealings!"


    "You''re lying!"


    "Quiet!" The host said loudly, "We''ll ask contestant number six to explain himself."


    The screen switched to Liu Yu, who was scratching his head in pain.


    "Huh?" Realizing that he had switched to the main screen, he was a little stunned. He did not listen to what the host said at all, seeing that everyone was staring at him.


    "Am I supposed to say my acceptance speech?" Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "It''s not the finals yet, there''s nothing to be excited about."


    "Bah! Shameless! Who wants to listen to your acceptance speech!"


    "That''s right! Give justice to my goddess!"


    "What goddess?" Liu Yu was stunned as he looked at Fang Yi and understood. So this group of people treated his girlfriend as a goddess. Liu Yu was both angry and amused. He shook his head and said, "It''s such a simple design. What''s there to cheat about? It''s boring."


    As Liu Yu spoke, he walked to Fang Yi''s side and raised his arm. Fang Yi''s body stiffened, but she quickly reacted. She held onto Liu Yu''s arm and left the arena together.


    Fang Yi''s behavior was a little strange, but Liu Yu didn''t care. He just wanted to go back to sleep. It was fine if he left, but the audience immediately exploded.


    "F * ck! What''s going on?"


    "He took the goddess away! ?"


    "Did you see the Goddess'' expression just now?"


    "The Goddess definitely didn''t want to do it!"


    "Is this Liu Yu one of the company''s higher-ups? There must be something fishy going on! We have to dig him out! We have to change the Goddess'' innocence!"


    ¡­


    Liu Yu held Fang Yi''s arm as they left, gradually diverting everyone''s discussion. However, it also happened to divert their attention from the cheating. Luo Qiang rushed over, but Liu Yu had already returned to his room. He closed the door and no one could find him.


    "Fang Yi, what did he say to you?" Xiang Qingnan asked.


    "Master, he didn''t say anything." Fang Yi knelt in front of Xiang Qingnan and said obediently.


    "Very good. When he wakes up, you have to ask him how he did it and why he exaggerated it so quickly!" Xiang Qingnan was very satisfied with Fang Yi''s attitude. The results of the training over the past half a month were remarkable.


    "Yes, master." Fang Yi said obediently, "Then can you give me a reward now?"


    "Hmph! What an insatiable dog!" Xiang Qingnan laughed and began to give Fang Yi a "Reward.".


    Han corporation headquarters.


    "Xue''er, tell me about Penguin Corporation''s semi-finals. You should know this Liu Yu better. Do you think they cheated?" Han Guoqing looked at his daughter.


    "Based on my understanding of Liu Yu, he probably didn''t cheat. However, I can''t figure out why he could complete the rendering so quickly. I only know that he has a computing power that is far beyond imagination. However, his computing power is not equal to the entire rendering design. Perhaps I should continue to investigate in depth."


    "Yes, I''ll leave this matter to you. You must make sure to find out if it''s a problem of his personal ability or if he has mastered some technology that we don''t know about. This is very important. If It''s a new technology, it might very well affect the entire world''s structure," Han Guoqing said seriously.


    "Alright, father. I''ll go and prepare now." Han Xue''er received the order and skipped off to prepare the things. This time, she was carrying out her father''s orders and was very confident.


    On the other side, at the Blue Sky Villa.


    Helena made a call with hidden bitterness. "Sister, what you did won''t be discovered, right? Isn''t that guy the genius you said he was? How could he be countered by that little girl, Han Xue''er?"


    "I don''t know either. I''m having a headache right now. I feel that we might have overlooked that guy called Liu Yu. Today, Han Xue''er said that his calculation ability is far superior to ordinary people. Maybe the incident on the plane was his doing." Louise gently stroked her sea-blue hair, there was some worry in her eyes.


    "Will that guy drag you into this?" Helena asked worriedly.


    "Don''t worry. He''s already in the mental hospital. He won''t say anything." A cold light flashed in Louise''s eyes.


    "Sister, are you coming back these two days? The old man has been looking for me recently. I''m so annoyed," Helena said unhappily.


    "I''ll arrange Han Xue''er''s matters first. Then, I''ll follow him. You can also relax for a while," Louise looked at her sister with a heartache, then, she said fiercely, "Han Guoqing, this old dog, just let him enjoy a few more days of glory. Sooner or later, the Han corporation will be mine."


    ¡­


    Penguin Group, Liu Yu''s dormitory.


    Driven by a strong sense of hunger, Liu Yu slowly woke up. He saw the food Fang Yi had left for him on the table. It was still warm. He looked at his watch. It was already past 10 o''clock in the evening. He casually grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, only then did Liu Yu feel that he had come back to life.


    Although his mind was still a little groggy, it was already much better than in the morning. By tomorrow morning, it should be back to normal.


    After a day of emergency public relations, public opinion was speculating that Liu Yu must have come into contact with a similar design, which led to his extraordinary performance in today''s match. At the same time, they released the video information that Liu Yu had crazily rendered in the training room. They also bragged about the number of intermediate and advanced design drawings that Penguin Group had.


    Although there were still a lot of doubts about this statement, there was no better explanation at the moment. Moreover, the third-party inspection did not find anything wrong with Liu Yu''s match, so everything had to wait until the finals tomorrow.


    Thinking back to the match this morning, Liu Yu was very curious about how Fang Yi was able to suppress the others. Although he had achieved a dimensional reduction blow through the smart graphics card, he still wanted to know how the others had designed and rendered it.


    "Have you rested?" Liu Yu sent a communication.


    "You''re awwake?" Fang Yi said excitedly, "Have you eaten? You haven''t eaten anything for a day!"


    "Yes, I have. Are you in your room? I''m coming to find you now."

 Chapter 38 - The Finals Begin!

    "I''m in the training room now. I''ll go back to my room immediately. Wait for me in my room. I left the door open," Fang Yi said, her tone a little anxious.


    "Why are you panting?" Liu Yu asked curiously when he heard that Fang Yi seemed to be exercising.


    "This is the physical training that Berna assigned to me. I''m running. Let''s talk later. I''ll go back immediately." After saying that, Fang Yi cut off the communication and looked pleadingly at Xiang Qingnan behind her. "Master, hurry up. Liu Yu has woken up."


    "You actually dare to urge your master! ?" Xiang Qingnan patted Fang Yi''s body, but he still ended the exercise very quickly. He panted and said, "You''re not allowed to take a shower. You can go directly. Remember the task I gave you."


    ¡­


    Liu Yu saw that Fang Yi had turned off the communication and was somewhat puzzled. There was a treadmill in the training room? Why didn''t he have any impression of it? He didn''t wait in Fang Yi''s room. When he arrived at the training room, he didn''t find Fang Yi.


    "Maybe Berna specially got a place for her? "Liu Yu curled his lips. "She''s really biased." Then he returned to Fang Yi''s room and saw Fang Yi walking toward the room with a flushed face.


    "Fang Yi!" Liu Yu shouted.


    "Ah! Liu Yu!" Fang Yi was startled by Liu Yu''s voice. She patted her chest and said, "Why aren''t you waiting in the room? You scared me to death!"


    "I was going to give you a surprise!" Liu Yu chuckled and returned to her room with Fang Yi.


    Fang Yi''s room was always so tidy and had a unique feminine smell. Looking at Fang Yi who was still breathing heavily, Liu Yu smiled and said, "There''s no need to be in such a hurry. Look at you. You''re sweating all over. I can already smell it."


    "Then I''m just afraid that you''ll be anxious." Fang Yi was afraid that Liu Yu would smell the scent of Qingnan on her, so she quickly said, "Why don''t the two of us go take a bath together?"


    "Sure!" Liu Yu looked at Fang Yi, whose face was flushed red, and his heart beat faster. He had not seen her for half a month, and with Fang Yi''s cold makeup in the morning, he was eager to try it.


    "Aiya, my body is covered in sweat. Wait a moment..." Fang Yi screamed and dodged in the bathroom.


    "Hehe, what are you afraid of? I don''t mind..."


    After more than an hour, the two of them lay on the bed. Liu Yu hugged the cute girl in his arms and said with a smile, "I haven''t nourished you recently. How come your skin has become smooth instead?"


    "Maybe it''s the effect of physical training..." Fang Yi said with a red face. Her heart couldn''t help but think of the "Special training" of Berna and Xiang Qingnan. She said guiltily, "What happened to you today? Why are you so sleepy?"


    "I was too excited when I rendered a design last night. I only realized it was already morning when I finished rendering the whole night." Liu Yu didn''t know if he should tell Fang Yi about the blueprints of Cloud Palace City.


    "You scared me to death. I thought you weren''t coming," Fang Yi said softly, but in her heart she thought, if it weren''t for you, what would be the value of my existence?


    "It''s my fault, it''s my fault," Liu Yu said with an embarrassed smile. Then he turned to ask, "Tell me about your special training. I really want to know how other people train."


    "Huh?" Fang Yi was stunned when she heard that. The "Special training" that she had gone through basically had nothing to do with the design rendering. She was able to perform well purely because she cheated.


    Yes, Fang Yi had cheated. Her design ability had not improved at all. The reason why she was able to render quickly was purely because Xiang Qingnan had installed a plug-in in her smart watch. This plug-in could receive real-time information from outside the arena.


    Outside the arena, Berna had gathered six designers to provide answers to Fang Yi. It could be said that Fang Yi only needed to control her speed well in the arena and successfully render 80% .


    "Why don''t you go first? I''m more curious about how you can render it in three minutes." Fang Yi looked at Liu Yu with admiration.


    Looking at her eager eyes, Liu Yu was elated. He smiled and said, "Because I''m very good!"


    "And then?" Fang Yi said unhappily.


    "Don''t tell me I''m not good?" Liu Yu said with a smile. His big hands became disobedient again.


    "Aiya, you''re so bad. We''re talking proper business!" Fang Yi blushed and said coquettishly, "Hurry up and say it!"


    "The main thing is that I don''t know how to say it." Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You should also know that rendering a design relies on computational ability on one hand, and on the other hand, it relies on the designer''s understanding of the design..."


    Fang Yi had never heard about the stuff Liu Yu explained because she actually did not understand what a real design should be like. She could only quickly memorize it. When she saw Liu Yu finish speaking, she revealed an expression of sudden realization, then, she said in admiration, "You''re really amazing!"


    "Alright, I''ve finished talking about my matters. It''s time to talk about you!" Said Liu Yu.


    "Me?" Fang Yi thought for a moment and really did not know what to say. She could not say that she had been humiliated by Xiang Qingnan and Luo Qiang, and then she had even been filmed into a video. From then on, she had been blackmailed, and then, step by step, she had fallen into slavery.


    "I actually have nothing to say here. I''m listening to Berna''s arrangements. If you want to ask, you should go ask her." Fang Yi had no choice but to kick the ball to Baina.


    Liu Yu felt a little strange. Was there anything that couldn''t be said about this kind of thing? Especially when Fang Yi seemed to have not thought about many things when he had just explained it. This made him very puzzled. Could it be that other designers were like this?


    However, since Fang Yi wasn''t willing to say it, he wouldn''t press on. After a night of silence, the next day, the finals arrived as promised.


    This time, with Fang Yi by his side, Liu Yu naturally wasn''t late. After eating breakfast, he arrived at the arena in high spirits. This time, he was without a doubt the focal point. In particular, with Fang Yi by his side as if she was a little bird, he attracted countless hatred.


    "This guy is really arrogant! He has a smug look on his face, it''s infuriating!"


    "Yeah, I wonder what goddess sees in him?"


    "Sigh, who asked him to be so fast!" Someone said sarcastically.


    "Goddess! Men can''t be too fast! We are more worthy of having you! Haha!" Someone couldn''t help but shout, which made Liu Yu''s face black.


    "Alright, welcome everyone to the final of Penguin Group''s designer competition. Please return to your seats." The host didn''t give Liu Yu a chance to refute and signaled for everyone to take their seats.


    "Many people still have doubts about yesterday''s competition, but I believe that everyone can tell whether contestant number six has real skills through today''s competition. Now, we will introduce the design drawings to be used today."


    "Today, we are using a synchronized design for everyone. The design will all be made public. It is worth noting that the design used in this final match is an advanced design!"


    "Boom!" As soon as these words were said, everyone was astounded.

 Chapter 39 - Overwhelming Others With Skills

    "Are you serious? ! The advanced design is being released to the public?"


    "They can''t be joking about this, right?"


    "No way. This is a global live broadcast. Even if they made a mistake in saying this, they have to go along with it!"


    It was not surprising that the onlookers were too surprised. The advanced design had always been the treasure of the major companies. Penguin Group had always been proud of the fact that they had many intermediate and advanced design designs, which was why they were able to hold the designer competition.


    Since the design drawing for the grand finals had been chosen to be synchronized with the public, it meant that this design drawing was completely open to the public, and everyone could learn all the details of this design drawing.


    Whether it was to improve their own abilities or to use this advanced design drawing as a template to design the corresponding intermediate design drawing, it was all feasible. This was equivalent to giving everyone a big free gift, which was why everyone was so excited.


    "I can understand everyone''s excitement, but please be quiet and hear me out.." The host had already anticipated the reaction of the crowd. Even he was extremely shocked when he just received the news.


    "This time, as we are all designing simultaneously, after the competition officially begins, we will open a dedicated network design channel. Everyone can download the design drawing through the dedicated channel and render it online. After an hour, the dedicated channel will directly retrieve the data that has already been rendered."


    The host continued, "We will also rank the players according to the feedback data. There will be rich prizes! Everyone, don''t worry. This design will still be available for download after the competition ends. And all the players'' render data will be uploaded for everyone''s convenience!"


    "Wow! Is that for real? Is it a fake?"


    "Won''t we know if it''s real or fake once we download it?"


    "Penguin Group has spent a lot of money this time!"


    "I announce! I will be a loyal fan of Penguin Group from now on!"


    "Look at how useless you are!"


    "If you''re so cool, don''t download it later!"


    ¡­


    Actually, Penguin Group had no choice but to do this. Only a brand new design would eliminate everyone''s speculation of cheating. On one hand, the brand new design would automatically generate a protection code when it was created, once the rendering started, the protection code would disappear.


    On the other hand, although it was painful to announce the brand new design, as long as the publicity was done well, as long as the person who downloaded the design had at least read Penguin Group''s good name. At the same time, due to the use of a dedicated channel, they also did a promotion for their own channel.


    Liu Yu did not know how much sacrifice penguin group had made because of his outstanding performance. At this moment, he was sitting on the chair waiting for the host to announce the start of the competition.


    "Now, I announce the official start of Penguin Group''s designer competition!"


    As soon as the host finished speaking, a huge design appeared in front of everyone''s eyes. Penguin Group''s technicians began to frantically maintain the stability of the channel. The main reason was that people from all over the world were flocking here. If something went wrong, their saliva could drown them.


    Liu Yu looked at the design. He had indeed never seen it before, but this did not affect his rendering. When everyone started to render, Liu Yu first analyzed the design as a whole.


    When you understood the design concept of the designer and the ideas that he wanted to convey, then it would be very easy to analyze the design work. Relying on the design concept that was far beyond blue planet, Liu Yu quickly found the idea that the design was trying to convey.


    Knowing that his performance last time was too eye-catching, Liu Yu did not plan to use too much of the ability of the smart graphics card this time. Now he had experienced the charm of the design, it was easier to obtain knowledge and inspiration from the design relying on his own thinking and understanding.


    As time passed, some people encountered difficulties and were so anxious that their faces turned red. Some people had only dabbled in all the elements and had already skimmed through the whole thing.


    Only Liu Yu was like a precise machine, pushing forward bit by bit. No matter how many problems he encountered, he did not shrink back. His steps were steady, and soon, he was halfway through rendering.


    "Look at number six. His rendering technique is a bit awesome."


    "Yeah, it''s as if there are no difficulties in front of him. Did he really finish an intermediate design in three minutes yesterday?"


    "No way, that''s too insane!"


    The other contestants present couldn''t hear the others'' discussions, but they could still feel the general progress of each other.


    Currently, one of the two people in the lead was Liu Yu, and the other was actually a middle-aged man. Even Fang Yi was thrown behind by him.


    This middle-aged man had a pair of sharp eyebrows, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. It was as if he could easily see through everything on the blueprint. His way of rendering was also quite different from the others. It was precisely the type of person who only dabbled in the entire blueprint.


    After sweeping through the entire blueprint, it was easier to understand the designer''s intentions. It was similar to Liu Yu''s method, but his comprehension ability was still very different from Liu Yu''s, and his speed was only half of Liu Yu''s.


    The remaining three designers who were publicly selected were all very high-level, but their rendering methods were normal, and their speed was only slightly inferior to Fang Yi, who fought in a team battle. On the other hand, the other two internal designers from Penguin Group did not perform well and were ranked last.


    "Goddess, go for it! Don''t let that blade eyebrows pull apart the gap!"


    "Goddess, go for it! Get rid of that God of sleep!"


    "God of sleep, go for it! Let them feel the power of sleep!"


    People began to support the designers they liked. Even Liu Yu became a koi for the insomnia crowd because of the good quality of sleep: forward this god of sleep, sleep whenever you want, sleep well!


    Liu Yu, who was immersed in the design, gradually ignored the passage of time. He finished rendering the entire design in 50 minutes and stretched comfortably. Only then did he realize that the others had not even finished rendering half of it.


    He could not help but shrug his shoulders and lie on the chair until the time was over.


    "What''s going on with the god of Sleep?"


    "F * ck! He finished rendering! ?"


    "Is this for real? !"


    "F * ck! He''s really done!"


    Countless awesome players flashed across the public screen. In the history of the Penguin Group Designer Competition, there had never been a contestant who could complete the final design within the specified time. Xiang Qingnan looked at Liu Yu in shock. He had actually had doubts yesterday, he was afraid that what Liu Yu did was just a coincidence.


    He didn''t expect Liu Yu to really give him a big surprise! Such a talent could not be let go!


    Luo Qiang also opened his mouth wide as he looked at Liu Yu, who was relaxing on the chair. He suddenly had some lingering fear. If he knew about Fang Yi''s matter... he did not dare to think about it and could not help but shiver.

 Chapter 40 - Elder Feng Making Things Difficult

    Finally, it was time for the competition. In everyone''s eyes, Liu Yu won the championship with a 100% completion rate, while the second place went to Fang Yi. The main reason was Liu Yu, who had finished rendering ahead of time, caused a huge psychological pressure on the others.


    However, Fang Yi had a team behind her, so she was the least affected. Instead, in the last 10 minutes, she surpassed the middle-aged man and won the second place. In this competition, Penguin Group had taken the top two places. It could be said to be the best result in recent years.


    In particular, Penguin Group promised to release the player''s rendering data, so Liu Yu''s 100% completion rate was equivalent to giving everyone a complete advanced design. It saved the small and medium-sized designers months or even years of work.


    Immediately, the public screen began to worship Liu Yu.


    "Sleeping God yyds!"


    "Sleeping God is amazing!"


    "God of Sleep I love you!"


    "God of sleep Nb!"


    "I have a problem with the fairness of this competition." Just when everyone had accepted Liu Yu''s heaven-defying performance, a fat old man stood out from the judges'' seats and raised his doubts.


    "Elder Feng, what do you mean by this?" Xiang Qingnan looked at the old man with a frown.


    "I think the Protection Code on the design map that you used for this competition is a forgery!" Elder Feng said bluntly.


    "A forgery?"


    "It can''t be. It looks normal when I download it?"


    "But sleeping God''s rendering speed is too fast. It''s indeed a bit abnormal."


    "Elder Feng is an expert. His words still have credibility, right?"


    "Don''t be anxious. Let''s wait and see!"


    "What evidence do you have to prove that the protection code is a forgery?" Xiang Qingnan''s face became unfriendly. He had already paid the price of a high-level design. How could there still be people jumping out? Moreover, it wasn''t someone else, it was the judges they had invited themselves! ?


    As a senior designer, elder Feng had countless students, so his words caused a huge uproar on the internet. Faced with Xiang Qingnan''s doubts, his mouth also felt bitter. He had taken money from the Bai family. Although there was no problem with the competition, he still had to find a problem.


    "Ahem," Elder Feng slowly said, "At first, I didn''t think there was anything wrong with the Protection Code, but contestant Number Six''s rendering speed made me suspicious."


    "Sure enough, the problem lies with Sleeping God."


    "Could it be that sleeping god cheated?"


    "Maybe. Look, elder Feng has already spoken."


    Xiang Qingnan came back to his senses at this moment. Elder Feng was the judge he had invited. There must be a reason for him to jump out at this time. He sent a message to Berna: "Go and find out who elder Feng had contacted after receiving our invitation. Don''t leave out a single one.".


    "Hehe, this can only mean that Liu Yu''s rendering skills are superb. How can it mean that there''s a problem with the protection code?" Xiang Qingnan asked in return.


    "Contestant Number Six''s rendering skills are indeed unheard of, but as everyone knows, rendering has a lot to do with computational ability. And the Protection Code is simply a form of data encryption. These can be bypassed through computational ability..." Elder Feng was interrupted by Xiang Qingnan before he could finish.


    "Everyone knows what you''re saying, but even if you bypassed it through computational ability, there would still be traces left behind. Just say what you want to say."


    Elder Feng furrowed his brows tightly. He also wanted to know what he wanted to say. Unfortunately, it wasn''t written in the script given by Bai Jia. There was nothing to do in the competition, so he could only ramble on. Suddenly, he thought of something and said lightly.


    "Contestant Number Six''s rendering method is very special. Is It related to the new encryption method? Moreover, everyone should still remember the time of the anti-gravity plane hijacking half a month ago. The robber used a new encryption method, so we have been unable to track his location for a long time."


    "What does that have to do with the Protection Code?" Xiang Qingnan said impatiently.


    "In this hijacking incident, contestant number six seems to have helped the General Security Bureau lock down the location of the hijacker together with Miss Han of the Han Corporation. Then I have reason to suspect that he might have mastered similar technology, so he might be able to bypass the protection code..."


    "Hehe," Xiang Qingnan received the information from Berna, after reading it, he sneered and said, "Elder Feng, everything you said is just a guess. Since no one raised any objections when we checked the design at the beginning, why did you raise this question again after the protection code became invalid?"


    "I just thought of it." Elder Feng''s face was slightly red. He braced himself and said.


    "Then how do you think this matter should be handled?" Xiang Qingnan looked at elder Feng with interest.


    "I have a design here. Let contestant number six try to render it. If he can''t finish it in the same time, it means that there is something wrong with his algorithm!" As elder Feng spoke, he showed a design.


    "Elder Feng, if you do this, you''ll be suspected of being jealous of a wise person." Xiang Qingnan looked at the design and said bluntly.


    "What right do you have to say that? You''re slandering me!" Elder Feng loved his feathers the most, so Xiang Qingnan''s words immediately angered him.


    "Hmph, I''m slandering you?" Xiang Qingnan directly released a few photos, he said faintly, "The person sitting in front of you in this photo should be Byron of the Bai family. Although I can''t see how much money he transferred to you, your wife''s surgery fees shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    "You!" Elder Feng was shocked. He didn''t expect this matter to be discovered by Xiang Qingnan. He was at a loss for words for a moment.


    "Ahem, elder Feng, can you let me take a look at your design?" Liu Yu, who was listening to their noise, was about to fall asleep. When he saw the design displayed by elder Feng, his interest was immediately piqued.


    "Huh?" Everyone was stunned.


    "Of course." Elder Feng was overjoyed. This Liu Yu had given him a way out. This design was extremely difficult. It already had some of the charm of the Cloud Palace City Design. He absolutely did not believe that Liu Yu could render it.


    "Thank you." Liu Yu said politely. When elder Feng heard this, his face was a little embarrassed.


    This time, Liu Yu was really excited. He first looked at the whole design. It was indeed very interesting. He couldn''t help but start to render it, and everyone quietly watched him start to render it.


    As he went deeper into the analysis of the design, Liu Yu became even more excited. This design should have been written by a master. It might have been derived from the real blueprint of Cloud Palace City. This way of thinking gave Liu Yu a lot of inspiration.


    "It''s done!" This time, in order to save time, Liu Yu used the in-depth learning function of the smart video card after understanding the intention of the designer. It only took him 20 minutes to finish rendering the design.


    "You actually finished rendering it! ?" Elder Feng looked at Liu Yu in shock. Everyone knew that he was the one who made things difficult for Liu Yu. He did not expect Liu Yu to finish it in only 20 minutes!


    "This is the pseudo-cloud Palace City Design!" A fatty who was watching the show suddenly shouted as if he had been injected with stimulants, "I will pay 5000 bitcoins to buy this design!"


    Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
