Background

Ye Fan was a financially struggling college student living in a rented room at Red Leaf Apartment. Before his rise, he could barely afford rent and had only 33 Reputation Points remaining after acquiring Holographic Projection Technology and Supercomputer Technology from the Billion-Crystal Tech System. 1 3

The Billion-Crystal Tech System grants him futuristic civilian and military technologies in exchange for Reputation Points. He initially sought a Graphene Phone, but its 15,000-point cost was beyond his means, prompting him to pursue both money and public recognition. 1

He discovered the legal 61 Program Website, registered as K, and used his Supercomputer Technology to solve programming bounties at a rate that overwhelmed the platform's Simple, Difficult, and Hell task boards. 1 4 6

Personality

Ye Fan is highly driven, pragmatic, and confident. His first priority after gaining the system is survival: he seeks a reliable income before pursuing fame or larger technological ambitions. Even after rapidly earning 130,000 yuan, he warns himself not to become wasteful or arrogant. 1 3

He is blunt when judging people and has little patience for dishonesty, incompetence, or corporate intimidation. He rejects unqualified applicants without ceremony, exposes Shao Chenxu's misconduct, and publicly dismisses technology corporations demanding access to his patents. 12 14 40

Despite his calculating business plans, Ye Fan shows a strong sense of justice. He exposes Fenghuo and Yu Bo's role in concealing a girl's death, censors the victim's identity before releasing evidence, and intervenes when he discovers that construction contractors have endangered lives through fraud. 21 22 48

He is intensely focused to the point of neglecting his health. His work on artificial intelligence and technology exchanges causes physical exhaustion, a collapse, and hospitalization; he later recognizes that his body must become stronger to safely handle advanced technologies. 23 26 27

Abilities & Skills

• His typing was recorded at more than a thousand lines of code in ten seconds. 6
• Developed the lotus-structured Core Code behind Warfire Hero, later revealed to use Chinese-character programming that foreign companies struggled to understand. 41 46 47

X System

The X System is Ye Fan's mobile operating system, created from more than 180 matrix arrays and designed as a foundation for his future mobile technology plans. 7 8

• Greatly improves boot speed, responsiveness, download efficiency, and device performance, even on Ye Fan's outdated phone. 8
• Compresses files automatically; its early version can reduce a 3 GB download to roughly 1.5 GB. 7
• Detects viruses, removes them, repairs damaged areas, and updates its defenses automatically through an artificial-intelligence core. 8
• Was adopted by the Four Major Mobile Phone Groups and outperformed Android and iOS in a public benchmark demonstration. 18 19

Super Brain Computer and X Artificial Intelligence

Ye Fan secretly develops a Super Brain Computer and artificial intelligence system capable of information retrieval, decryption, automated defense, and network intrusion. 21 48

• While less than 5% complete, the Super Brain Computer searched surveillance records, traced Fenghuo's movements, and decrypted his hidden files. 21
• Ye Fan used its capabilities and his company servers to restore his Weibo account and force the evidence against Fenghuo and Yu Bo across the platform. 22 23
• At 30% completion, X Artificial Intelligence can hack into and control computers. 48
• Ye Fan altered its Three Laws of Robotics so that it obeys only his orders and prioritizes his commands. 48
• X Artificial Intelligence later broadcast the assault on Ye Fan across Weibo when his office security system detected that he was in danger. 49 50

Technological Research and Engineering

Ye Fan can rapidly absorb and apply specialized knowledge outside programming, including mobile hardware, materials science, and construction analysis. 17 24 48
