Only 400 exquisite photo collections separate an enemy from a benefactor
At this moment, "Good Night" is being ambushed by a mysterious person and is therefore hanging upside down in a small room at the bottom of the mysterious Divine Power Tower in the City That Never Sleeps.
And now, the "mastermind" who is suspected of plotting against him has suddenly appeared directly below Good Night.
But the first thought that came to Good Night's mind was...
"That Tomboy looks so good, I have to forward Xi Ba to Old Lin..."
But after a moment of stunned silence, Good Night finally realized what was happening.
I don't have a share button.
Then, he belatedly realized it.
"Wow Xi Ba, this looks like the Real World, not a person from a short video... Xi Ba, how come they have such an aura? It's like they've been filtered."
Then, after another eight beats of thought, Good Night finally realized what was happening.
"Oh wait, this Xi Ba might be the enemy!"
Immediately afterwards, Good Night Ye put on a serious, wary, and disdainful expression again.
"Xi Ba, what do you want? I'm not telling you anything!"
The Tomboy in the white suit sighed softly, and a voice of equal androgyny emanated from beneath the silver mask.
"Don't make it sound like I'm interrogating you," Good Night Good Night... I have no ill intentions towards you.
As he spoke, he jumped off the table.
The height at which Good Night was hoisted seemed to have been calculated, precisely to be level with the line of sight of the man in the white suit standing upright.
"Really? You Xi Ba no harm?" Good Night swayed her hips in the air, making herself shake like a loofah in the wind. "Then if you mean no harm, Xi Ba put me down! Xi Ba!"
The man in the white suit shook his head.
"That won't do... Tying you up and hanging you here is to prevent you from doing anything malicious to me."
Liang Good Night grinned as he spoke, "Xi Ba, you're quite self-aware... Yeah, if you put me down, I'd tear your mask to shreds and beat your suit to Xi Ba! You little brat!"
The man in the white suit sighed.
"Do you want me to put you down or not, Good Night?"
Good Night Xi Ba coldly replied, "Damn it, do you think you'd let me down if I said a few nice words and promised I wouldn't lay a hand on you after I got down?"
"Since you're going to hang me here anyway, why don't I just give you a good tongue-lashing? Hey, Xi Ba brat, you're not actually enjoying this, are you? You just want me to curse you, are you? Xi Ba... why don't you just gag me!"
The man in the white suit wasn't angry at Good Night's curses. Instead, he calmly extended his finger and gently tapped Good Night's shoulder with his long, amber-colored index fingernail.
The moment the other person reached out, Good Night immediately turned her head and bit down hard on their wrist, but before Good Night's bite could take effect...
The man in the white suit gently nudged Good Night's body with his fingertips, causing him to sway wildly like a swing.
"I'm not gagging you because I need to 'communicate' with you—like I said, I meant no harm."
"However... your manners do make me somewhat regret my actions."
"I really should have shut you up... Think about it, most of the time our so-called 'communication' just requires you to listen to me—nodding and shaking your head a lot can answer most of the questions I want to ask you."
Captain Good Night swayed back and forth in the air, his expression turning serious once more.
"I told you long ago, I, Xi Ba, won't tell you anything!"
The man in the white suit ignored Good Night's retort and continued talking to himself.
"In short, let me first explain why I led you 'this way'... because your plan is highly unreliable."
"The person who attacked Xiao Nian earlier was able to infiltrate Joe Solence's private office area through the Ventilation Duct because that person's Alchemy skills were extremely high—she could hack into the Security System of any place in the City That Never Sleeps, including the mansions of Royal Nobles, and she did so 'silently' and without leaving a trace, so that no trace could be found by any routine inspection or even a special inspection afterward."
"Count Arase Nian, or rather, Comrade 'Xiao Nian,' may have some Alchemy skills, but she cannot specialize in intrusion."
"Moreover... the 'Count' level of authority would be a huge disadvantage for Arase Nian, since the other party possesses the most advanced authority in the City That Never Sleeps."
"From this perspective, although the Security Level of Joe Solence's private office area is similar to that of the confidential database of this Divine Power Giant Tower, the intrusion capabilities of the two sides are vastly different... Even if Arase Nian Toshi manages to get you in without triggering any basic external alarms, it's still a pipe dream for you to directly intrude on any machine storing core data and extract the data from it."
"Every data point there has a 'self-destruct device' and an extremely high level of security system. Any data retrieval is recorded very sensitively and sent back to Headquarters for filing— the Divine Power Group is far superior to the Truth Company and the Universal Trade Association in terms of data security. Do you know why?"
Despite Good Night Xi Ba's initial attitude of "I'll just ignore whatever this guy says" and intending to let it go in one ear and out the other...
However, because what the other person said did make a lot of sense, Good Night still followed the other person's line of thought while swaying and went along with what the other person said.
Therefore, in response to this sudden question, Good Night immediately shared what she had been thinking.
"Xi Ba, how would I know why? It can't be that Divine Power Group places extra importance on patented technology... Uh, wait, I know!"
"Xi Ba, because Divine Power Group is a joint venture between two Royal Nobles, with two major shareholders— the Autumn Family and the Mercury Family... Although they are natural allies to outsiders because of Divine Power Group, they are also competitors— Xi Ba, both of them are wary of each other 'misappropriating company secrets' or 'taking things without permission'!"
Good Night said excitedly.
After all, he wasn't completely ignorant about the Barren Realm —on the contrary, Good Night actually frequented the City That Never Sleeps.
This top-tier "Corporate Slave," who hails from the Peninsula and has indeed worked in the corporate world, grasps these chaebol secrets quite quickly.
After Good Night gave his answer, the man in the white suit nodded slightly.
"Correct answer... Very clever, Good Night —Because of the relationship between the Autumn Family and the Mercury Family, the closer the Divine Power Group is to the 'top level,' the more 'insurance measures' are in place to effectively prevent either family from taking advantage of it at will—although there are quite a few territories within the group that have been completely divided between the 'Autumn Family' and the 'Mercury Family'... but clearly, one of the most important confidential databases of the entire group still falls under the category of 'common property.'"
"Because of the checks and balances between the two Royal Nobles families, it has become much more difficult for you outsiders to steal the 'important data' and 'technology' from this building."
"After all, Truth Company and the Universal Trade Association have similar internal databases, and may even have 'backdoors' specifically reserved for major shareholders and Royal Nobles... If you want the data from these two companies, you could even find shortcuts to 'hack' them."
"But unfortunately... this won't work at Divine Power Group."
"So while your 'plan' was mostly without major problems, from infiltration to withdrawal—it was just a bit daring and risky—the success rate was still there, and perhaps even quite high."
"But this most crucial part—the 'data theft' stage used to achieve your goals—is impossible to accomplish."
Good Night listened to the man in the white suit speaking eloquently, although he initially followed the man's train of thought and was somewhat empathetic, he began to grow impatient again as the man in the white suit kept belittling the plan he and his group had devised and kept saying how unfeasible the plan was.
"Xi Ba, if you don't cause trouble, how do you know Xiao Nian can't bypass that database defense? Besides... we at Xi Ba aren't without helpers besides Xiao Nian!"
Because he wasn't sure if the other party knew that the "Schreiber" network was a cooperative relationship with his group, Good Night deliberately used a tone that seemed like "bluffing" to refute them.
The man in the white suit shook his head. "No helpers will do, because you're the one infiltrating... Even the most skilled expert would have to come with you to that server room."
"But... you don't know how to decipher 'security devices'."
Hearing this, Good Night also became somewhat angry.
He swayed in the air, looking even more furious.
"Oh, Xi Ba, I get it now... Xi Ba you came all this way just to humiliate me, Xi Ba!"
"Xi Ba... I really don't understand these things, so do you have any Xi Ba good ideas?"
"You think we don't want to find Xi Ba perfect solution? Ugh... Xi Ba, we're short on time—you don't even know, I didn't come here voluntarily!"
Upon hearing Good Night's words, the man in the white suit spoke softly, "But I really do have a better way."
Xi Ba was stunned when Good Night heard this. "Hey, what the hell are you trying to say? You're talking complete nonsense!"
"I said from the beginning that I didn't come with malicious intent... so of course I have good intentions."
The man in the white suit spoke calmly, pulling a... storage device from his pocket.
He stuffed the storage device into Good Night's breast pocket and, to prevent it from falling out, fastened the Good Night's clasp.
Good Night watched the other person's actions and asked suspiciously.
What the Xi Ba is this?
"The data... all the data from the Divine Power Group regarding the 'Supreme Evolution' related technology," the man in the white suit began. "Oh, and by the way, there are also about 400 photo books of underground idols from the City of City That Never Sleeps that you'll really like."
The Good Night was greatly shaken.
"Really?"
The man in the white suit was equally striking Good Night would ask him questions.
"The second half is obviously fake... Do you even need to ask?"
Just how much repression are you experiencing?
