Everyone's Frenzy

[Ding-dong!] All the computers simultaneously chimed with a notification from the Federal Court's official website. Everyone turned to their screens and saw that an updated File Package had appeared.

It could be downloaded now.

"Quick, quick, quick! Download it and see what this Core Code actually looks like."

"I'm so excited. Releasing the Core Code is practically like tearing off Warfire Hero's protective shell for everyone to see. If they hadn't torn it off, we'd never get to see it in our lifetimes."

"Exactly. I think Warfire Hero's defense system is already the best defense system in the world."

All the programmers in the conference room discussed it excitedly.

Warfire Hero's Core Code had been the object of their research for some time, but they had not even broken through its defense system, much less entered its interior to view the Core Code.

They could not even crack the defense system alone.

Beep beep.

The download-complete notification rang out. Everyone immediately double-clicked it. Their computers instantly blue-screened, followed by countless lines of code that left them exhilarated.

Canceling defensive measures!

A line of Chinese appeared on the blue screen, followed by a lotus flower blooming across it!

Core Code opening!

"Th-This..."

"What the hell is this?"

Uh... The conference room instantly fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the screen, completely baffled by the lotus-shaped code displayed there.

Their mouths hung open. They could only stare helplessly, at a complete loss.

Bluehole Group headquarters.

"Chairman, it's been released for public download. We'll be done downloading it shortly!" the head of the Technology Department shouted with a flushed face, brimming with excitement.

The Federal Court released the Download Package by region. China had been the first to receive it, and their region came next, so there was a slight time difference.

Beep beep.

The download-complete notification sounded. The head of the Technology Department hurriedly worked the keyboard, opening and displaying the Core Code.

Every technician in the department watched with rapt attention.

Seeing how engrossed everyone was, Bluehole's chairman smiled. With these professional elites here, wouldn't Warfire Hero's core technology soon be theirs?

A lotus flower appeared, blooming across every computer screen.

"W-What is this?!"

One technician cried out in astonishment. The others stared at it as well, equally baffled.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Bluehole's chairman was no fool. He naturally realized that something was wrong.

"What's going on?" the chairman asked coldly as he walked over to the head of the Technology Department.

The department head was baffled too.

They had never seen code like this before.

How the hell was he supposed to know what it was?

"Chairman, could the Federal Court have sent the wrong file?" At those words from the Technology Department, the chairman nearly exploded with rage.

Would the Federal Court make such a low-level mistake?

Did they really not understand it?

If they didn't understand it, they should just say so.

"Go investigate whether they sent the wrong file!" the chairman ordered the secretary beside him with a grim expression.

The secretary hurried off to investigate, while the head of the Technology Department swallowed hard and continued staring at the code, which looked like an incomprehensible heavenly text.

He could not understand a single character. This is so hard.

The Technology Department head trembled inwardly. He felt that something was seriously wrong.

The other technicians continued silently studying the code. Though they could not understand it, they possessed extensive experience.

As they looked at the incredibly ingenious arrangements of the code formations, their eyes widened. They panted heavily, growing more and more shocked the longer they looked.

This code...

It was too miraculous.

"Chairman, the Federal Court says there is no problem. This is indeed the code. As for why it takes the shape of a lotus, they don't know either. But one thing is certain: this is Warfire Hero's core technology!" the secretary reported after running back at full speed.

Lotus-shaped Core Code? Who were they trying to fool?

Bluehole's chairman instantly blew up. No such code had ever appeared anywhere in the world.

It was over.

In that instant, Bluehole's chairman felt as though he had fallen into Future Technology Company's trap.

They had deliberately been waiting for him to jump in.

No wonder. No wonder they had agreed so readily. They were humiliating them.

Damn it!

Bluehole's chairman had the urge to strangle Ye Fan to death.

"Which one of you can understand this?!"

"What exactly is this thing?!"

"Can it be cracked?!"

Bluehole's chairman roared three hysterical questions in a row.

"Chairman, this lotus-shaped code should be Warfire Hero's Core Code. But from what we can see, both its computational methods and its code formation arrangements differ enormously from our technology. Our technology feels like beginner-level material, while theirs is far ahead of ours. We've never even seen technology like this before. This is a brand-new computer language created by a god. Code K—he is a god!" one technician said excitedly, trembling all over.

As soon as he finished speaking, another technician hurriedly stood up and said with fanatical excitement, "I agree. As long as defensive code is written around the outer edge of every lotus-shaped code formation, the entire Core Code becomes invincible. No matter where you begin, there will always be a wall blocking you. You can't bypass it, and you can't break through it. Once the code starts running, the entire lotus rotates. It's utterly invincible!"

All the technicians present looked like fanatics. Their expressions were crazed as they stared at the lotus code with blazing eyes. If the chairman had not been there, they would have already begun researching it.

This code was simply too exquisite.

Too perfect.

Rage burned in Bluehole's chairman's heart as he glared wide-eyed at the technicians who had just praised it.

Damn you.

Did they have to worship Ye Fan that much?

"Chairman, how about we just let this matter go?" the head of the Technology Department asked, looking at the chairman's grim face.

"Let it go? Why should we? Even if we can't understand their Core Code and it differs from ours, their framework and the code for the other map data are exactly the same. I want to sue them."

"This is also our chance. Once our lawsuit succeeds, their technology will be ours!" the chairman said through gritted teeth.

Watching this, the secretary shook his head slightly. The chairman was being impulsive. When the secretary had called the Federal Court earlier, their attitude toward Bluehole had clearly been unfriendly. It seemed that the Federal Court would directly reject this lawsuit.

Just think about it: they could not understand a single line of the other party's Core Code, yet they still claimed the other side had plagiarized them?

Where was their shame?
