"What the hell? A big shot opened an alt account to sweep the Apprentice-level tasks? Are you really that broke?"

"What's wrong with the site? Didn't you promise Real-name Authentication? One Person One Authentication? Then why can someone still use an Alt Account to take jobs?"

"Please have the site explain itself. This is seriously no fun at all!"

Tieba erupted. Countless people complained bitterly, while the Minor Gods and big shots watched the show, occasionally fanning the flames.

Liu Zeming looked at the exploding Tieba forum and felt utterly helpless. If this continued, the site would lose all credibility. Who would still come here?

The website released an announcement!

"We are currently investigating. Please remain calm!"

"However, according to our Preliminary Investigation, this may be an Alt Account opened by a big shot. Once the evidence is confirmed, we will freeze the account and permanently block the IP Address!"

When they saw the announcement issued by the website, Tieba exploded once again.

"So it really was an Alt Account opened by a big shot? That's inhuman! What good would that do them?"

"Who the hell knows? Maybe they've lost their minds. Once your level goes up, you can't apply for tasks below your level or make a Level Skip application. Could it be that Hell-level tasks don't make them enough money?"

"What nonsense are you talking? Hell-level tasks are handled by several big shots working together. Even after splitting the reward, each person gets hundreds of thousands. Are they really worried about going hungry? A big shot opening an Alt Account to grind here is pure insanity!"

Tieba was completely set ablaze by the message from the official website.

The website itself had said it was suspected to be a big shot's Alt Account. That practically confirmed someone had opened one.

While things were lively over there, Ye Fan was still crazily clearing tasks.

He had already thrown himself into it wholeheartedly.

At Program Network Headquarters.

K's sweep of the task boards had stirred the entire company into action.

The person in charge investigated K's Real-name Information and found that there were no issues at all.

"Director Liu, the Real-name Authentication is genuine. There are no problems, and there's no suspicion of an Alt Account. We compared the IP Addresses of every programmer and found no matches. This should be a Senior Programmer, probably at the Minor God Level. It's their first time on our website, and we have their Contact Information. Should we ask them about it?"

Director Liu was the person in charge of the website. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow.

If that was the case, there was no need to investigate at all. They might even offend a Senior Programmer, which would be a tremendous loss for the site!

"Don't contact him. Are the task Source Codes he submitted real?"

Director Liu narrowed his eyes as he asked.

"I'm not sure. I've already contacted the companies that posted the tasks and asked them to review them as quickly as possible. We'll know soon enough whether they're real!"

"Notify me the moment there's news!" Director Liu said, then continued browsing the messages on Tieba.

Tieba was now filled with complaints about the website. This was terrible news for them, since Personnel Loss would be a major blow.

There were now many websites just like theirs, all relying on this business model to make money.

They provided services for programmers.

At most, they earned the difference as middlemen.

Programmers were the tools they used to make money. Without programmers, wouldn't their company go bankrupt?

Ring, ring, ring.

Just as the secretary was about to leave, a Phone Ringtone sounded.

"Yes, right, okay, I understand!"

The secretary hung up, both shocked and delighted. "Director Liu, all the Source Codes submitted by Code K are correct. Every review has passed, and all those bugs have been resolved. The companies have also transferred the money over. Should we transfer the payment to Code K?"

Hearing the secretary's words, Director Liu was stunned as well. Could this really be a big shot willing to use their website?

He hoped so!

"Transfer the money. Also, Level Up Code K. We can't let him keep sweeping the Simple Task Board!"

After Director Liu spoke, the secretary immediately went out to carry out his orders. As long as Code K left the Simple Task Board, those Apprentice-level programmers would have nothing to complain about.

Meanwhile, at Red Leaf Apartment.

Ye Fan stopped.

His level had gone up, so he could no longer accept tasks from the Simple Task Board. More than three hours had passed without him even noticing.

Looking at the densely packed Red List, Ye Fan smiled. Red represented Under Review, and every one of them had been completed by him. This Sense of Accomplishment was unbelievably satisfying!

Yet even after Code K's level increased, Tieba remained in an uproar.

"What's going on? His level went up? Didn't the website say he was suspected of using an Alt Account? Why would they increase his level?"

"Could this not be someone's Alt Account, but a big shot who just arrived?"

"What nonsense are you talking? If he were a big shot, he could just tell the website and take one task as a test. It's not like there isn't a system for that!"

"Look, Code K stopped accepting tasks after leveling up. He's probably just a Minor God!"

"That's true. He should be a Minor God, not a big shot. Looks like it really is his first time on this website!"

"Heh, he's just showing off. Did you notice? When he swept the Simple Task Board, every task was completed in under half an hour, some even faster. Even as a big shot myself, I can't do that. So this guy must have accepted all those tasks long ago. Some were posted today, but some had been sitting there for ages. He finished them early and waited until today to submit them all at once so he could become famous. That kind of stunt is disgusting!" Single Hand Driving Maserati!

"Whoa, Single Hand Driving Maserati! A big shot!"

"What the big shot said makes sense. This guy's just putting on an act!"

The website was in an uproar.

And what was Ye Fan doing now that he was no longer taking tasks?

His landlord had arrived.

So he stopped.

"Ye Fan, it's been half a month already. Have you found a job yet? I heard you've been staying in your room alone for about a week, ordering takeout every day. If you have money for that, why can't you pay your rent?"

"And another thing!"

"If you don't make up the money today, then get out today. Do you think Red Leaf Apartment is short on tenants?"

A fat woman stood with her hands on her hips and rattled off a long string of abuse at Ye Fan, spittle flying everywhere.

This fat woman was the landlord of Red Leaf Apartment. Ye Fan had only been in this city for a short time when he unexpectedly encountered that technological miracle. He had not gone back to school, either.

He did not have a job, either.

Looking at the landlord's vicious expression, Ye Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable fury rise within him.

"I'll give you the money this afternoon."

Ye Fan looked at the landlord coldly.

"Heh?"

"This afternoon?"

"You have money? This afternoon, my ass! Do you think this place is free? You think you can stay as long as you want? You think I don't charge interest?" The landlord planted her hands on her hips, pointed at Ye Fan's nose, and cursed furiously.

And right at that moment.

[Ding, Alipay received 5,000 yuan!] [Ding, Alipay received 10,000 yuan!] [Ding, Alipay received 6,000 yuan!]

The pleasant sound of receiving red packets rang out one after another.

For a moment, the entire air seemed to freeze. The landlord, who had looked so vicious just moments ago, could only stare in stunned disbelief!

Seeing the landlord's utterly exaggerated expression.

That felt good.
