ROSGT Chapter 113: Wishing to Kneel Down and Worship Him**
Volume 1,
Chapter 113:
"How about 3500 a month from now on?" Ye Chui said to Robert.
Upon hearing this number, Fang Nan, Fang Xi, and Zuo Xiaoyou all felt a sudden urge to faint. After all that talk, it only increased by 500 yuan a month? Could he be any more stingy?
What left them speechless was that Robert, hearing that Ye Chui had raised his salary by 500 yuan, actually looked incredibly moved. He agreed with tears in his eyes.
"Oh my god, Boss Ye, you're so kind. I've only been working with you for less than a month, and you already gave me a raise. I promise I'll work even harder from now on."
"..."
He was so easily satisfied, being happy over just 500 yuan, almost like he wanted to kneel down and worship Ye Chui.
Although Fang Xi, Fang Nan, and Zuo Xiaoyou were astonished, they didn't say anything.
They understood that Ye Chui’s talk of a salary raise was just a formality. For someone like Robert, money wasn't the main attraction. Judging by how effortlessly he dealt with that counterfeit version of Skeleton No. 7, if he ran a network security business, he'd undoubtedly be a top expert in the field with no shortage of income.
Robert chose to stay low-key and work with Ye Chui, possibly due to some personal reasons. Or maybe, as he said himself, he stayed because following Ye Chui allowed him to play games.
To him, salary was probably secondary.
Moreover, the salary Ye Chui offered was just a small part. Given Ye Chui’s character, he wouldn't treat his people poorly. The bonuses were quite generous.
"With this 500 yuan increase, I can buy meat every day from now on. Fang Xi, you treated me to a meal last time, and I haven't returned the favor. You can eat as much as you want at that noodle shop, my treat," Robert said happily to Fang Xi.
To outsiders, it might seem like he had won a huge prize, rather than just a 500 yuan salary raise.
Fang Xi covered his face with his hand, pretending not to know this country bumpkin...
Neither Ye Chui nor Fang Xi, Fang Nan, Zuo Xiaoyou, nor other employees of X-Warrior Network Company asked Robert about his hacker identity.
Hacking is a profession that operates in the shadows. Those in the network industry knew how hackers valued their anonymity and wouldn’t ask such questions lightly.
However, Zuo Xiaoyou realized that Robert was very approachable, especially when it came to Ye Chui.
So, she walked up to Robert and said with a smile, "Mr. Robert, thank you for solving our virus problem. However, it seems someone is targeting our company. Since they attacked us once, they might do it again. Mr. Robert, could you help us set up some protective measures? I'll offer you a satisfactory payment."
"No need for payment. I can install a security software I developed myself. Even if the top seven hackers attack, there won’t be any problem," Robert replied with a grin.
His words sounded like boasting, but after witnessing his earlier performance, everyone instinctively believed him.
They felt that the firewall he set up might indeed withstand attacks from the top seven hackers.
"What was this guy before? Could he really be one of the top seven hackers?" Ye Chui wondered, becoming increasingly curious about Robert's background.
Then, Robert sat down at a terminal and began typing away.
Several attractive female employees diligently brought him tea and water, asking if he needed a shoulder massage.
If he hadn’t responded with his heavily accented rural dialect, it would have been perfect.
Seizing the opportunity, Zuo Xiaoyou introduced the company's staff to Ye Chui.
This was Ye Chui’s first time meeting the company’s employees.
He had been quite nervous initially, but after the Skeleton No. 7 incident, his anxiety vanished. Sitting in his wheelchair, Ye Chui now gave off an aura of profound mystery.
Seeing that even a great talent like Robert was one of Ye Chui’s subordinates, the staff felt proud to work under Ye Chui.
...
Meanwhile, in a rundown residential area in Yanjing.
This area had few permanent residents left, mostly consisting of daily or monthly rentals.
In one of these rundown rooms, the curtains were drawn, making the room dim. The floor was littered with various snack wrappers, and a portable terminal sat on a nearby table. This type of terminal, unlike the wearable ones, was a simplified version of a desktop computer, more advanced than a portable terminal but easier to carry than a desktop.
It was akin to a laptop in Ye Chui’s original world.
The terminal was running, but suddenly, a series of urgent beeping sounds erupted from it.
On the nearby bed lay a girl.
She was a tall, white woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin, a high nose, and long blonde hair typical of Western women. She also had the fuller figure characteristic of Western women compared to their Eastern counterparts.
She wore nothing but a pair of black panties, sprawled out on the bed in a rather ungraceful position, asleep.
The urgent beeping eventually made her eyelids flutter, a look of irritation crossing her face. She seemed angry at being disturbed.
After the sound persisted for half a minute, she finally reacted, her eyes snapping open in surprise.
"This sound... Damn!" she exclaimed in English.
This was Ava, the girl who had contacted Lin Xiangfeng earlier.
Ava quickly approached the table and looked at the terminal screen.
"Someone cleared the Skeleton No. 7 virus I planted? How is that possible? To achieve this, they must be a top expert. But that’s just a newly established small company. How could they afford a top expert?"
Ava was incredulous, her hands moving rapidly across the keyboard.
"It seems the Skeleton No. 7 I made following my teacher's template still has many issues. Someone must have found its loophole by chance. But no matter, I'll personally hack into their servers this time and delete all their data myself!"
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of furious typing filled the room.
Soon, Ava looked surprised: "My attack was completely blocked? So they do have a top expert!"
Ava's eyes blazed with determination.
She jumped up from the terminal and rummaged through a pile of snacks, eventually pulling out a lollipop. She unwrapped it and popped it into her mouth.
With the lollipop in her mouth, she was ready for a big fight.
"Didn’t expect to meet a pro. Let's see what you’ve got!"
Ava threw herself into the intense battle.
However, she didn’t notice that the small lens representing the camera function on her terminal suddenly flashed...
...
At X-Warrior Network Company.
Ye Chui, Fang Nan, Zuo Xiaoyou, and some employees were gathered around a terminal, reviewing the website they had developed over the past month.
Meanwhile, Robert had been typing away at his terminal, then paused.
Lines of code were running automatically on his screen—his developed automated defense system.
A few minutes earlier, Ava had begun her manual intrusion.
But she was completely blocked by Robert's automated defense system.
Now, Robert's eyes flashed with determination as he thought, "Only she has seen the Skeleton No. 7 template... I’ve already taken control of the hacker’s terminal and am activating their camera. Soon, I’ll know if this hacker is her!"
While thinking this, Robert looked around to ensure no one was watching him.
He connected to the camera on the other end.
A video window popped up on his screen, showing the scene on the other side.
But the window was filled with a flash of white.
"Huh? What’s this?" Robert squinted, examining the screen closely.
Before he could figure it out, a loud voice suddenly exploded in his ear: "Whoa, Robert, are you secretly watching adult movies?!"
Robert jumped in shock and turned to see Fatty Fang Xi grinning at him.
Before opening the video window, Robert had checked his surroundings but hadn’t noticed Fang Xi behind him.
"Though I don't have a thing for foreign women, I have to say, Robert, your taste is quite good. This woman's body is amazing. Tsk tsk, her chest is even bigger than my sister's..." Fang Xi remarked, smacking his lips and leaning in closer to the screen.
The video window was indeed showing Ava’s bare chest.
Robert's face turned pale as he hurriedly closed the window, sweating profusely and shouting internally, "Oh my god, how many times have I told her not to walk around the house in just her underwear?!"
