The Omnipotent One

Ji Chuxing had only come to try her luck, but she hadn't expected a website like the Resource Network to exist in this spacetime too.

This was no ordinary resource network. It was a website that brought together technology and medical information from around the world, and people had all sorts of names for it. Some called it the Resource Network, while others called it the Bounty Network. It all depended on what visitors needed.

Of course, an ordinary person who stumbled in might not understand what it was and might even think they had landed on a webpage full of pop-up ads. After all, pop-ups for all sorts of products appeared from time to time, including treatments for nail fungus and hair loss, and even games.

Ji Chuxing's fingers flew over the keyboard. In an instant, she cleared all the pop-ups and opened the Resource Network.

"Wow..."

She couldn't help letting out a little gasp of amazement.

The Resource Network brought together big shots from countries across the world and all sorts of fields, including business, medicine, and technology. Competition for medical and technological resources was especially fierce, and many of the things and products on the site weren't for ordinary people to use.

Or rather, they weren't things ordinary people had any use for. Most people might never even have heard of them.

Yet some of those very things were targets pursued by the world's top powers.

Ji Chuxing gave the site a quick browse, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter!

Sure enough, it was a great place to make money.

Good heavens!

A bottle of special hair-growth treatment could sell for 5,000 yuan!

A single whitening face mask could sell for 3,000 yuan!

A silenced, miniature portable pistol with a range of 100 meters could sell for five million yuan!

Making money was so easy!

Ji Chuxing felt as though countless little coins were flying toward her!

She would soon be able to live a retired life!

So, after a moment's thought, she quickly registered an account with an imposing name. She was very pleased as she looked at it. Surely lots of people would come to her with orders. But only after registering did she remember that hers was a beginner account, which couldn't buy high-grade resources for experiments.

So for now, she could only make things like hair-growth treatments and beauty masks.

"Sigh." Ji Chuxing let out a soft sigh and drooped again.

Never mind. Even with limited resources, she could make the best hair-growth treatment on the Resource Network!

To that end, Ji Chuxing immediately bought a hundred jin of raw materials for hair-growth treatment!

A hundred thousand yuan vanished in a rush, and Ji Chuxing's heart ached terribly.

After buying the materials, Ji Chuxing frantically completed tasks on the beginner account page. They included, but were not limited to, attacking websites, creating data models, and solving difficult chemistry problems from around the world. In short-providing any kind of top-tier product.

Half an hour later, Ji Chuxing watched with satisfaction as the hundred thousand yuan she had just spent flowed right back into her account.

"Huh?"

A site-wide notice highlighted in red on the homepage caught Ji Chuxing's attention.

According to the rules, anyone could post a site-wide notice. Some buyers posted them to find someone to make what they wanted as quickly as possible, or when they couldn't find the right person.

Ji Chuxing clicked on it and saw that it had been posted by a special-grade account. The poster wanted a design for a core chip device. She skimmed the requirements and raised her brows slightly.

Then, with a click of the mouse, her tiny, lousy beginner account, buried among countless big-shot accounts, accepted the order with a five-million-yuan bounty.

Almost at the same time.

A certain Young Master Wei was drinking when his phone suddenly chimed with a message. He picked it up and glanced at it.

That glance left him stunned.

Someone had actually accepted the bounty he had posted last night!

Could it be Z?

He opened it and looked, and the corner of his mouth immediately twitched.

A beginner account, with a name that sounded especially childish-The Omnipotent One?

Speechless! He was utterly speechless! Did the other party even know what omnipotent meant?

Heh heh heh heh, what kind of elementary-schooler account was this?

The Omnipotent One? Whose little brat had wandered into the Resource Network by mistake?

Wei Xingzhou was a little irritated.

The Resource Network was unusual. Once someone accepted a bounty, no one else could take it. If that person couldn't do it, they would naturally have to pay compensation for accepting the order. Once she clicked on "task failed," the bounty would become active again, but the time wasted in the meantime couldn't be measured in money.

He had wanted to use the bounty to lure Z out, but now, not only had he failed, a little brat had snatched it out from under him.

Wei Xingzhou was so angry he laughed and sent a message straight over. "Kid, you can't handle this order. Just click on 'task failed.'"

To his surprise, the other party replied very quickly.

The Omnipotent One: Three days.

Handsome W: "??"

The Omnipotent One: Have the money ready. Delivery in three days.

After sending those messages, Ji Chuxing logged off. She was getting ready to go back for her afternoon nap.

Wei Xingzhou sent back a long string of messages, only to find that the other party had gone straight offline!

He wanted nothing more than to crawl through the network cable, find the little brat called The Omnipotent One, and use the other party's account to click on "task failed."

With no other choice, he went to Bo Yanchen. "Let's just have someone hack his account and cancel the task. We'll post it again."

Bo Yanchen glanced at The Omnipotent One's account, whose profile picture was entirely black.

He seemed quite interested. "The account was registered half an hour before accepting the task. In that half hour, it completed fifty beginner tasks, each in less than a minute."

Wei Xingzhou waved a hand. "Those were beginner tasks."

Beginner tasks were so easy. Anyone who could get into the Resource Network could do them, couldn't they?

Bo Yanchen merely smiled without saying anything.

Wei Xingzhou said, "Just hack it."

With that, he made a call and gave instructions.

Five minutes later, his phone rang again. A young man was roaring on the other end.

"Wei Xingzhou, what the fuck kind of godly account did you have me hack? Its defenses are SSS-grade, with automatic counterattacks! Do you know what my computer's like right now? It's completely blank, and there's wailing and howling everywhere. You fucking-!"

He hung up as soon as he finished cursing, without even waiting for Wei Xingzhou to speak.

Wei Xingzhou was dumbfounded.

Bo Yanchen looked at him with the hint of a smile. "A little brat?"

Wei Xingzhou was still dumbfounded. "Was that Speeding Car yelling at me just now?"

Bo Yanchen motioned for him to look at his own phone. Sure enough, it had been hacked badly, and the jumble of images on the screen was simply unbearable to look at.

Only someone with Speeding Car's explosive temper would do something like that.

Wei Xingzhou felt that his life had suffered a heavy blow.

Were little brats this formidable these days?

Bo Yanchen looked thoughtful. "Interesting."

Ji Chuxing returned to the classroom with her schoolbag on her back.

Before she could enter, Zhou Sixue, who had been waiting anxiously outside, hurried over. "God Ji, what happened on the forum started because of me. Don't worry, I'll clear things up, and I'll explain everything to the principal."

Ji Chuxing still didn't know what had happened on the forum. She didn't have a phone, and unlike Zhao Feifei and the others, she didn't spend all day glued to one.

"The forum? What happened?"

Before Zhou Sixue could speak, Zhao Feifei came out.

"God Ji, don't worry, leave it to us. Director Yan won't do anything to you. We'll fight back for you. They're just a bunch of trash who only dare make trouble behind your back. If they've got the guts, let them use their real names!"

A group followed behind Wu Hao, every one of them fired up and looking ready to charge into a fight. "That's right! Bullying God Ji is the same as provoking us!"

Amid the chatter of the chuunibyou teenagers, Ji Chuxing finally understood the whole story.

"Oh, so we have a forum here too."

She looked thoroughly eager for gossip, not at all worried about her own situation.

Lu Xing and Zhao Feifei's mouths both twitched.

God Ji was God Ji, all right. Sure enough, she was as steady as Mount Tai.

Ji Chuxing waved a hand. "It's just a small matter."

Zhou Sixue didn't think it was a small matter. She was on the verge of tears.

This was her greatest secret, but Ji Chuxing had helped her that morning. If not for Ji Chuxing, she might already be dead. But she couldn't hide anymore. She had to speak out!

She turned and started toward the administration building. Although Ji Chuxing wasn't looking at her, her hand caught Zhou Sixue's wrist with unerring accuracy.

"I told you, it's a small matter. It can be resolved."
