[Ding, Alipay payment received: 5,000 yuan!]
That pleasant sound kept ringing out from Ye Fan's phone, one notification after another.
The bloated, obese landlord stared at Ye Fan in stunned disbelief. Wasn't he just a poor student?
Why were so many people sending him money?
What exactly did he do?
The landlord's heart was in turmoil.
Looking at the notification on his phone, Ye Fan directly asked the landlord, "How much?"
"Uh, including this quarter's rent, sixteen hundred!"
The moment the landlord finished speaking, Ye Fan said, "I'll pay you two thousand. The rest is interest. Get out of here."
After scanning the code and paying, Ye Fan slammed the door shut, leaving the landlord standing there in a daze.
"Hmph, what are you acting all high and mighty for? Who knows where you got that money illegally. Hmph, so what if you've got money? I'm the landlord!"
"If you've got the guts, buy your own place!"
"Tch!"
The landlord stood outside the door with his hands on his hips, baring his teeth as he shouted.
Ye Fan heard it inside the room as well, and his gaze turned slightly cold. Ever since obtaining the Billion-Crystal Tech System, his demeanor had changed drastically. He was worlds apart from the insecure, self-abased person he used to be.
Buy a house?
It wouldn't take long.
Ye Fan looked at his balance. A total of 130,000 yuan!
Seeing that string of numbers, Ye Fan was so excited that he clenched both fists tightly.
When had he ever seen so much money?
This was only the result of three hours, and these had been the simplest missions. What about difficult missions?
Making money was way too easy!
Ye Fan was incredibly excited.
Everything he couldn't afford or didn't dare buy before, he could buy now. Still, this was only a little money. He had to keep his mindset steady, or what would make him any different from a nouveau riche?
Keep going!
The Difficult Task Board!
Inside the Program Network forum.
"Code K hasn't made a move for an hour. Looks like he was just seeking attention!"
"Single-Handed Masha God was right. He's just an attention-seeking clown. I thought he was going to sweep the Difficult Task Board. Doesn't he just want fame?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The forum gradually quieted down.
Just as Ye Fan was about to type out code to fix bugs and accept missions, he noticed something unusual.
His Reputation Points seemed to have increased!
Host: Ye Fan!
Reputation Points: 333
Source: Holographic Projection Technology, Supercomputer Technology!
What the hell was this?
When had his Reputation Points increased by three hundred? Where had they come from?
Ye Fan still didn't know how much shock his three-hour sweep had brought to the people in the forum.
Couldn't there at least be a notification?
"Ding, Reputation Points +3!"
"Ding, Reputation Points +1!"
Just as Ye Fan muttered to himself, notification sounds rang out in his mind.
???
Was this system voice-activated?
At least there were notifications. That would help him better understand how these Reputation Points increased.
Sweeping the boards gave him Reputation Points, so what was he waiting for?
He wasn't sleeping tonight.
Why sleep? Time to go wild!
Tap tap tap~
The keyboard clattered again. His hands moved as though they had been put into overdrive, unbelievably fast, leaving only afterimages across the keys.
Accept mission.
Complete mission.
Submit source code.
Audit mission.
There were more than twenty missions on the Difficult Task Board.
Over a hundred people had accepted the missions, yet not a single one had completed or submitted one.
But now—
A sea of red appeared.
Once a mission was submitted, it could no longer be accepted while under review and would be temporarily frozen. If it failed the review, it would be reopened.
But the sea of red that had appeared caused the forum, which had only just quieted down, to explode again!
"Fuck, fuck! Who the hell said he was a Minor God? This is a Minor God? In just one short hour, he's already completed three missions! Is that even possible? Is he still human? Give him another three hours and he'll sweep the entire Difficult Task Board, okay?"
"Terrifying! Even a real master couldn't possibly do this, right?"
"Exactly! Even Single Hand Driving Maserati couldn't do it. Didn't he say it himself? Sweeping the Simple Board was already insanely difficult for him. It was impossible to finish it within three hours, but this Code K did it!"
The forum exploded.
The masters who had also been watching the forum all fell silent.
They truly couldn't match Code K's speed. These missions had all been newly updated today. Forget preparing in advance—it was impossible.
Sitting before his computer, the bespectacled and scholarly-looking Single Hand Driving Maserati was furious. He had been slapped in the face and even trampled underfoot. Just who was this Code K?
Single Hand Driving Maserati, who was nearly bald, had a livid expression. Xiong Xiong fury blazed within him, and he was deeply unwilling to accept this.
Code K was stepping on his head to climb upward.
I'll definitely find you!
I refuse to believe you can sweep the Hell Task Board too!
He quickly typed out a line in the forum.
"Code K is nothing more than a despicable man, an attention-seeking clown. Trying to become famous with this kind of trick? You're still too green. Everyone, be careful. Maybe he isn't even a programmer—maybe he's a hacker!"
A hacker?
The forum instantly erupted.
Hackers were vastly different from them. Hackers specialized in breaking into other people's computers and stealing all kinds of information for profit.
As for programmers, they were only responsible for writing code and building all sorts of programs and software. They were creators, while hackers were thieves and burglars.
"Fuck, no wonder! If he's a hacker, doesn't that mean all our computers could have been breached?"
"No wonder! He just has to break into everyone's nearly completed source code and steal it. Wouldn't that make it his?"
"All hackers are trash!"
The forum was filled with anger. These people had been led along by the narrative, but some smarter people disagreed.
Hackers wouldn't even bother with such petty tricks here. This required Real-name Authentication, and the Net Police were ruthless these days. Wouldn't that be asking for death?
In truth, when compared directly, programmers were sometimes inferior to hackers because they lacked hackers' skills.
Programmers spent most of their time figuring out how to create things.
Inside Ye Fan's room at Red Leaf Apartment.
Ye Fan's typing speed slowed, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face because the notifications in his mind kept sounding.
"Reputation Points +10!"
"Reputation Points +20!"
In only ten minutes, his Reputation Points had already surpassed one thousand.
Why had they increased so much this time?
Ye Fan browsed the Program Website. Since so many Reputation Points had been added, the source had to be here. Sure enough, he found the forum and discovered that it was filled with discussions about him.
Code K. Every forum post began with something about Code K.
The corners of Ye Fan's lips curved upward, and he felt extremely pleased.
There were only a little over five hundred active users in the forum.
Though there were only that many people, the more shocked, fearful, excited, or otherwise emotional they felt toward him, the more Reputation Points he gained after those emotions deepened.
In other words, it wasn't that each person could only add Reputation Points for him once before becoming useless.
That wasn't how it worked. They would continuously give him more as long as they experienced Emotional Fluctuation Value because of him!
So that was how it worked!
Just as Ye Fan figured out how Reputation Points worked, over at the headquarters of the Programmer Official Website—
"Director Liu, Director Liu, it's started again!"
Bang!
The secretary directly slammed the door open, startling Director Liu, who had been squinting as he read a novel.
"Can't you knock before coming in? You scared the life out of me!"
The secretary had no time for that. Panting heavily, he shouted, "Director Liu, this is bad. That Code K—"
"What did he do now?!"
Hearing that name gave Director Liu a terrible headache!
"Code K has started sweeping the entire Difficult Task Board!"
Bang!
Hearing this, Director Liu abruptly shot to his feet!
"What?!"
Director Liu's eyes widened in fury, and even his heart trembled.
Code K, are you even human?!
