Sweeping the Difficult Task Board!

Chapter 3: Sweeping the Difficult Task Board!

[Ding, Alipay payment received: 5,000 yuan!]

The pleasant notification kept ringing, one after another from Ye Fan's phone.

The fat, bloated landlord stared at Ye Fan in utter 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 turned to the landlord. "How much?"

"Uh, including this quarter's rent, 1,600."

Before the landlord could finish speaking, Ye Fan said, "I'll pay you 2,000. The extra is interest. Leave now."

After scanning the code and paying, Ye Fan slammed the door shut, leaving the landlord standing there dumbfounded.

"Hmph, what are you acting all high and mighty for? Who knows where you got that illegal money from. Hmph, so what if you have money? I'm the landlord!"

"If you've got the guts, go buy yourself a place!"

"Tch!"

The landlord stood outside with his hands on his hips, baring his teeth as he shouted.

Ye Fan heard him from inside the room, and his gaze turned cold. Ever since obtaining the Billion-Crystal Tech System, he had changed drastically. He was nothing like the insecure, self-conscious person he used to be.

Buy a house?

It won't be long now.

Ye Fan looked at his balance. A total of 130,000 yuan!

Seeing that string of numbers, Ye Fan was incredibly excited. Both fists clenched tightly.

When had he ever seen so much money?

That was only the result of three hours, and those had been the easiest tasks. What about difficult tasks?

Money was far too easy to make!

Ye Fan was thrilled.

Everything he couldn't afford or didn't dare buy before, he could now buy. But this was only a small amount of money. He had to stay calm, or what difference would there be between him and a nouveau riche?

Continue!

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 Hand Driving Maserati 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 to get famous?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

The forum gradually quieted down.

But as Ye Fan prepared to take on more tasks by fixing bugs and writing code, he noticed something unusual.

His reputation points seemed to have increased!

Host: Ye Fan!

Reputation Points: 333

Acquisition Sources: Holographic Projection Technology, Supercomputer Technology!

What the hell was this?

When had his reputation increased by 300 points? Where had those reputation points come from?

Ye Fan had no idea how much shock his three-hour board sweep had brought to the people in the forum.

Didn't it even give a notification?

"Ding, Reputation Points +3!"

"Ding, Reputation Points +1!"

Just as Ye Fan muttered to himself, notifications rang out in his mind.

???

Was this system voice-controlled?

As long as there were notifications, it was fine. That would help him better understand how reputation points increased.

Sweeping the board gave reputation points, so what was he waiting for?

He wasn't sleeping tonight.

Sleep? Forget sleep, time to go wild!

Tap tap tap~

The keyboard began clattering again. His hands moved at blazing speed, leaving only afterimages over the keys.

Accept task.

Complete task.

Submit Source Code.

Audit Mission.

There were over twenty tasks on the Difficult Task Board.

More than a hundred people had already accepted tasks, yet not a single one had completed or submitted one.

But now...

A sea of red appeared.

Once a task was submitted, it could no longer be accepted during the audit process. It would be temporarily frozen, and only reopened if the audit failed.

But the sea of red that had appeared now caused the forum, which had just quieted down, to explode again!

"Holy shit, who the hell said he was a Minor God? This is a Minor God? He's completed three tasks in just one short hour! Is this even possible? Is he even human? Give him another three hours and he'll sweep the entire Difficult Task Board, okay?"

"Terrifying! Even a real expert couldn't possibly do this, right?"

"Exactly! Even Single Hand Driving Maserati couldn't do it. Didn't he say that sweeping the Simple Board was already incredibly difficult? It was impossible to finish it in three hours, but Code K did it!"

The forum erupted.

The experts following the forum also fell silent.

They truly couldn't match Code K's speed. These tasks had all been newly updated today, so there was no way anyone could have prepared in advance.

Single Hand Driving Maserati, a bespectacled and mild-mannered man sitting before his computer, was furious. He had been slapped in the face and even trampled underfoot. Just who was this Code K?

Single Hand Driving Maserati, whose hairline was already receding, had a livid expression. Xiong Xiong fury burned in his heart, and he was deeply unwilling to accept it.

Code K was climbing upward with his foot on his head.

I'll definitely find you!

I refuse to believe you can sweep the Hell Task Board too!

He quickly typed a message into the forum.

"Code K is nothing but a despicable person, an attention-seeking clown. You want to become famous using this method? 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 data for profit.

Programmers, on the other hand, merely wrote code and built all sorts of programs and software. They were creators, while hackers were thieves and robbers.

"Holy shit, no wonder! If he's a hacker, doesn't that mean everyone's computers have been hacked?"

"No wonder! As long as he hacks into everyone's nearly completed Source Code and steals it, wouldn't it become his?"

"Hackers are all trash!"

The forum was filled with rage. These people had been led along by the narrative, though some clever people disagreed.

Hackers wouldn't even bother with such petty tricks. This required real-name authentication, and the Net Police were formidable these days. Wouldn't that be courting death?

In truth, 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. The notifications in his mind kept ringing.

"Reputation Points +10!"

"Reputation Points +20!"

In just ten minutes, his reputation points had already exceeded a thousand.

Why had they increased so much this time?

Ye Fan browsed the Program Website. Such a large increase in reputation points had to have come from there. Sure enough, he found the forum, where everyone was discussing him.

Code K. Every post began with talk about Code K.

Ye Fan's lips curled upward, and he felt extremely pleased.

There were only a little over five hundred Active Users in the forum.

Though there were few people, the more shocked, fearful, excited, or otherwise emotional they felt because of him, the more reputation points he gained as those emotions deepened.

So it wasn't that each person could only give him reputation points 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 were gained, over at the Programmer Official Website Headquarters!

"Director Liu, Director Liu, it's happening again!"

Bang!

The secretary burst through the office door, startling Director Liu, who had been squinting at a novel.

"Can't you knock before coming in? You nearly scared me to death!"

The secretary had no time for that. Panting heavily, he shouted, "Director Liu, this is bad. That Code K—"

"What did he do now?!"

Director Liu got a terrible headache the moment he heard that name!

"Code K has started sweeping the entire Difficult Task Board!"

Bang!

Upon hearing that, Director Liu shot to his feet!

"What?!"

Director Liu's eyes widened in fury, and even his heart trembled.

Code K, are you even human?!
