Inside the Red Leaf Apartment rental.

"Acquiring target, target acquired Prestige Value 15000!"

"Acquisition failed, insufficient Prestige!"

Ye Fan pinched his forehead, looking at the two messages that popped up before his eyes, which gave him a headache. A mere Graphene Phone required 15000 Prestige Value!

Host: Ye Fan!

Prestige Value: 33

Acquired Units: Holographic Projection Technology, Supercomputer Technology!

Within his brain, he possessed the Billion-Crystal Tech System, filled with technologies far surpassing modern civilization, for both civilian and military use. It had everything, both what you could imagine and what you couldn't.

However, acquiring these technologies required a large amount of Prestige Value. For instance, the cheapest item in the Billion-Crystal Tech System was the Graphene Phone, but acquiring it needed 15000 Prestige Value!

His total Prestige Value combined was only a little over thirteen thousand. But after purchasing Holographic Projection Technology and Supercomputer Technology, his current Prestige Value was a pitiful single digit, 33.

He was just a college student, not a Big Star, nor a Streamer or Internet Celebrity.

To gain Prestige Value, he could only become famous.

Although fame was important, his most crucial need right now was to make money. He couldn't even survive without money, let alone gain Prestige Value. With money, everything else would be manageable.

Ye Fan logged onto a website and browsed all the information regarding Holographic Projection Technology. Currently, all holographic projection technologies globally were merely in their nascent stages. To develop to the level of the technology he possessed would require more than 20 years.

This demonstrated just how precious the technology in his hands was.

Furthermore, Supercomputer Technology, as the name suggested, was more than thirty years ahead of all computer technologies worldwide. Whether it was programming, Artificial Intelligence computers, or supercomputers, he could create them. As long as he was willing, nothing was impossible.

Even hacker techniques were insignificant within the realm of Supercomputer Technology.

Ye Fan's fingers flew across the keyboard, pili pala, as he explored the entire Internet.

With this kind of technology, why worry about not having money?

61 Program Website was a site for fixing all sorts of bugs. For example, if a company's software had a vulnerability that their programmers couldn't fix, they would post it on the website, offering a bounty. As long as someone could solve it, the reward would be theirs.

Without registering, he could only see a small portion of the bounty postings.

Ye Fan looked at the bounty postings, his mouth almost splitting into a grin. This was practically a tailor-made money-making plan for him. His first pot of gold would likely come from here.

Real-name verification. Ye Fan had considered not verifying his identity, but it wouldn't work. Once he solved a bounty, the payment would be transferred to his verified account.

This kind of website was legal.

There was absolutely no need to avoid real-name verification.

Registration, real-name verification, bank card binding—Ye Fan completed the entire process quickly.

Next, it was time to sweep through the entire Bounty List.

Ye Fan's registered name was K.

Apprentice-level: 0 experience.

That's right, this website was very detailed, a paradise for programmers. Here, you could not only earn money but also share insights and experiences. It had a dedicated Tieba, essentially the Jianghu of the programming world.

There were grades. After completing each task, you would gain experience. The experience points were based on the difficulty of the Bounty Mission.

There were three difficulty levels: Simple, Difficult, and Hell.

If your grade was too low, you couldn't take on tasks above your level. This also prevented review difficulties.

Crack~

Ye Fan's joints cracked as he smiled. Next, it was his turn to shine!

He worked with both hands!

A light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. Subsequently, his entire temperament changed instantly. He was no longer decadent; he became unapproachable, fully immersing himself in the joy of programming.

The computer screen had turned blue. The first task he accepted was to fix a BUG loophole in a certain local chess and card APP. This loophole was of Simple difficulty, with a bounty of five thousand.

Pili Pala, countless symbols and letters appeared on the blue screen.

One minute slowly passed, and countless symbols had filled the entire blue screen.

Five minutes!

Ye Fan stopped.

Because he had already finished!

He uploaded the resolved software source code. Ye Fan didn't stop but continued to take on other tasks.

The room was quiet, with only the pleasant, rhythmic sound of keyboard typing.

Task after task was solved frantically.

Another three hours passed. After uploading the source code, the publishing company would review it in the shortest possible time and then transfer the money.

And within these short three hours.

Ye Fan had accepted all the tasks, and even most of them were already completed, just waiting for review.

Liu Zeming was an Apprentice-level programmer. He had finished learning the courses he bought for over thirty thousand yuan. During this period, he started his own business but found that programmers of his level were not in demand. Big companies wouldn't hire them, let alone those high-value groups.

A small company, the salary it offered he couldn't see eye to eye with, so he could only continuously learn experience and earn money on this 61 Program Website. Although the Apprentice-level tasks weren't difficult for him, they were enough to make a living.

Solving one in half a month, two in a month. If he got lucky, maybe he could even take on three or four. Earning over ten thousand a month was definitely not a problem.

En?

Just as Liu Zeming went to accept a task, he discovered the task was already under review. This meant someone had already completed the task, even submitting the Source Code.

Tsk tsk tsk, quite discerning. This task wasn't difficult, but the Bounty Amount was a lot. It seemed this company was very anxious, otherwise, why would they offer such a high bounty? He was beaten to it.

Let's look at the others.

Liu Zeming thought to himself, but when he went to accept other tasks, he found that another task was also being submitted for review!

"Holy Crap, what's going on?"

"Are you trying to Stir Up Trouble!"

Liu Zeming was a little Annoyed. He frantically accepted tasks.

Submitting, please wait!

Submitting, please wait!

I Crap!

Liu Zeming let out a shout, his Whole Person's head was a bit dazed!

Why were most tasks being submitted?

Impossible.

These tasks were all released today.

What Happened!

Liu Zeming Hurriedly entered Tieba. Upon seeing this, it was no trivial matter, he instantly Exploded on the Spot.

Because in Tieba, most Apprentice-level elites were discussing this matter.

"Who is this Code K? Whose Alt Account is it? Is it interesting to do this?"

"Exactly. Why are you, a Great God, Stirring Up Trouble here? The Bounty Amount for your difficulty level is hundreds of thousands, ours is only a few thousand. You're still going after ours, are you even human?"

"So annoying, I didn't get a single task today. Even if I got one, they had already submitted it!"

Liu Zeming understood what Happened upon reading this.

Exploded!

Had this exploded into a frenzy?
