The Time to Announce It Had Come

The technology supervisor's face darkened when he heard the technician beside him.

The only company that would tell them to get lost was probably Future Technology Crystal Company. There was nothing they could do about it—who could blame them when they had kept bothering the company?

They had no confidence themselves.

"Supervisor, the fact that we have no way to fully study this Lotus-Shaped Drive Array doesn't mean that nobody knows it or can use this technology. Although it doesn't look human-made, since it can run, it must use some kind of unusual method of computation."

"This time, when we announce the core technology, programmers all over the world will be watching. They'll definitely be able to figure it out."

Seeing the supervisor's terrible expression, the technician could only offer some consolation. It was probably a way of comforting himself, too.

Sure enough, the technology supervisor felt much better after hearing that.

He spoke solemnly. "When the time comes, publish it directly!"

There was no need to worry about anything else. Since Future Technology Crystal Company had said it was real, then it had to be real. They wouldn't dare deceive the Federal Court.

After all, where were they? The Federal Court!

Although they had failed to understand the Lotus-Shaped Drive Array—not to mention the code structure, computational methods, and arrangement methods inside it—they knew absolutely nothing no matter how many times they were asked, and were completely stumped by every question.

But they could be certain of one thing: this Lotus-Shaped Drive Array could run. In fact, simply right-clicking and selecting run would launch Warfire Hero directly.

In other words, this was Warfire Hero's core technology. As for the troublesome problems, they could leave those to other people to deal with.

At Future Technology Crystal Company,

Guo Yang wore an irritated expression. A phone call from the Federal Court had just made him furious.

He had just gotten some inspiration and felt that he would soon be able to crack one of the simplest pieces of code in Warfire Hero.

If he could hold on to this inspiration a little longer, he might be able to crack it tonight and learn countless things from it.

But that phone call kept asking over and over whether this was Warfire Hero's core technology, driving Guo Yang completely berserk.

He had directly cursed at them to get lost.

He had the feeling again. Guo Yang closed his eyes and recalled everything. At once, he regained that sensation of breaking through the heavens.

Once he solved this X×N97 method, it seemed he would have perfectly cracked the code. Guo Yang hammered away at the keyboard.

Ring, ring, ring~

The phone rang again.

"Ah!!!"

Guo Yang grabbed his scalp and shot to his feet, letting out a howl. The other programmers could only smile helplessly at the sight.

Recently, everyone had been working desperately to study the code. Why were they so eager to research it? Wasn't it all for the sake of growing?

The first time they saw Ye Fan's Core Code, they were stunned by its brilliance. It was practically a heavenly book.

They couldn't understand it. But once they did, they would be able to ascend to immortality.

Of course, without Ye Fan's guidance, they couldn't understand a single thing. Ye Fan would also regularly spare an hour or two to sit in his office and teach them some basic concepts of code.

The programmers, each already over thirty years old, sat in front of Ye Fan like obedient children.

"Who is it?" Guo Yang answered the phone and immediately shouted into it.

"H-hello, we're from the Federal Court. We're calling to inform you that Warfire Hero's core technology will be announced in forty minutes. Do you have any other requests?" Following the supervisor's orders, the technician hurriedly called Future Technology Crystal Company to notify them. It was all part of the procedure.

If it had been a small company, they wouldn't have bothered notifying it.

Future Technology Crystal Company was not a giant yet, but it was rapidly becoming a well-known technology company. It had a reputation, so they had to follow procedure. However, the person on the other end didn't seem very friendly and appeared somewhat irritable.

"No. Get lost!"

Guo Yang cursed loudly and hurriedly shut off his phone. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the computer.

He was studying the code.

He felt that he was about to crack it.

It was just like doing a math problem as a child. Before learning how to solve it, the problem seemed incredibly difficult. But after using your knowledge to find the answer, you discovered that it was incredibly simple, incredibly fun, and incredibly interesting. That was the charm of mathematics.

But the moment you bent down to pick up an eraser during math class, you would find this when you raised your head:

????

What was going on?

What had I missed?

Why couldn't I understand anything anymore?

Why?

Forget it. I'm not listening anymore.

That was why so many people were bad at mathematics.

Seeing that their team leader had become completely obsessed, everyone else caught the mood as well. If the team leader could crack it soon, then why couldn't they? Was it because the team leader was the team leader, while they would forever remain low-level employees?

No!

They had to study. They had to grow.

The boss was too formidable—practically inhuman. They had also come to deeply understand one thing: at Future Technology Company, if they failed to learn, they might end up doing nothing more than menial work.

And before they knew it, they might even be fired.

They had to give it everything they had!

Everyone desperately tried to crack the code.

At that moment, all kinds of reporters had already gathered downstairs from Future Technology Company. Their main purpose in coming was to find out what Ye Fan would say after the core technology was announced.

They wanted to obtain the information at the earliest possible moment.

They even wanted to enter the technology seminar and film news footage.

West City Hotel.

This was the finest hotel in all of Nanshan City. It had a large conference hall, and quite a few people had already arrived inside—some old, some young, from all over the country.

They held computers in their hands and chatted while watching the news.

They were all waiting for the Federal Court to announce Warfire Hero's core technology. They also wanted to obtain the Core Code as soon as possible so that they could understand how the game operated.

What exactly was its core technology like?

"Ten minutes left!"

A programmer shouted excitedly. The others hurriedly turned on their computers and kept their eyes fixed on the Federal Court's first announcement.

"Five minutes!"

"Only five minutes left. Why is it so slow?" Everyone silently grumbled to themselves.

[Ding-dong~]

All their computers chimed at once. They had all followed the Federal Court's official website, so any news would trigger an immediate notification.

It was early.

The announcement of Warfire Hero's core technology had come several minutes early.

Bluehole Group.

The chairman had personally come to the Technology Department to guide them.

"Chairman, it's available for download! We'll have Warfire Hero's core technology soon. We've cracked it! What are they even worth?"

"Hahaha!"

The chairman of Bluehole Group laughed heartily. The other employees cheered, as though victory were already within reach and everything was wonderful.
