#### Chapter 117: Defeat
“I'll ask the Master if he needs you tomorrow. Wait for my message,” Robert continued as he looked around Eva’s place, dissatisfied with the condition. “Your place is too shabby. Tomorrow, move in with me. The Master rented me a small apartment with an extra room for you.”
“Okay!” Eva agreed, then asked, “Robert, how did that website manage to get you to help? Was it because of this Master?”
“That website was originally co-founded by the Master and someone else. Helping out with the defense was just my duty,” Robert replied, frowning as he observed the room cluttered with snack wrappers. Despite not being a neat freak, he found the mess overwhelming.
“This Master again…” Eva felt even more resentful towards the so-called Master.
However, she couldn’t express her thoughts about the Master in front of Robert. To drive a wedge between Robert and the Master, it wouldn’t work to speak ill of someone behind their back. The most effective way was to create an irreversible reality.
Like seducing the Master and having Robert catch them in the act...
With this plan in mind, Eva continued, “Since that’s the case, Robert, let me tell you who’s behind the attack on the website…”
Robert quickly put his finger on Eva's lips, stopping her, “The first rule of being a hacker is never to betray your employer’s identity. Did you forget that?”
Eva trembled slightly and quickly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, I forgot. I understand. I won’t reveal his information.”
“Good, that’s better.”
Robert nodded and continued, “Although the hacker’s code doesn’t allow you to reveal his identity, it doesn’t prohibit you from refusing to work for him again… Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Eva nodded.
Robert walked to the door, opened it, and said, “Wait for my message tomorrow. If there’s no problem, the Master should allow you to join his studio. Then you’ll experience the joy of game development.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it,” Eva said, but her eyes flashed with cunning.
Robert, I’ll make sure you reclaim your throne as the King…
Watching Robert’s figure gradually disappear from the window, Eva giggled mischievously.
Then she seemed to remember something, pulled out her portable light brain from a pile of small underwear, and requested a communication with Lin Xiangfeng.
...
“What? You’re ending our deal? Why!?” In an office of Tianyang Biological Research Institute, Lin Xiangfeng, who was working overtime, roared in anger, “We had an agreement, and I’ve already paid the advance!”
“I’ll return that money to you,” Eva coldly replied. “Our collaboration is over.”
“How can you be so untrustworthy?” Lin Xiangfeng fumed, “Doing this will ruin your reputation in the hacker world!”
“How much do you know about hackers?” Eva coldly retorted. “Don’t force me to take action against you. Do you think I’m unaware of what you did in America? If I reveal these things, not even your family can protect you!”
“You… you dare…”
Lin Xiangfeng’s face turned pale.
“Of course, I thoroughly investigate my employers,” Eva sneered. “One last reminder, stop trying to mess with that website. It’s futile!”
With that, Eva ended the call.
“Bam!”
Lin Xiangfeng threw his portable light brain to the ground.
His face twisted with obsessive fury as he muttered, “Damn it, damn it, damn it! She broke our agreement… so untrustworthy! I hate this, I really hate this…”
Ye Chui had always felt a sense of mental instability from Lin Xiangfeng, which was not entirely unfounded.
After muttering for a while, Lin Xiangfeng suddenly thought of something and opened a document on his desktop light brain.
A sinister smile spread across his face.
Since discovering that Ye Chui and Fang Nan were together, he had been investigating Ye Chui and found many interesting details.
Like Ye Chui’s past with SB, his feud with Cao Kang, and so on…
But the most surprising discovery for Lin Xiangfeng was Ye Chui’s father, Ye Haishan!
“Unexpectedly, Ye Chui’s father is…”
Lin Xiangfeng’s face was twisted with a cunning smile as he stared at the screen. “Hehe, Ye Chui, I didn’t want to do this initially, but now that I can't benefit from the website incident, I’ll just have to target your father… You’re going to suffer. Prepare for your family to be ruined!”
...
Ye Chui was woken up by Fang Nan’s angry shouting.
Whenever Fang Nan encountered something frustrating, she would vent by yelling—a typical behavior for a tomboy.
Ye Chui was used to it.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he got out of bed and habitually massaged his withered legs.
The feeling in his legs had fully returned, and the second injection was scheduled for next week.
After the second injection of the muscle vitality serum, his leg muscles would gradually regain vitality.
After the third injection, he would completely regain his ability to walk.
“I really can’t wait to stand up again!” Ye Chui thought excitedly as he dressed and got into his wheelchair.
After quickly washing up, he wheeled out of his room.
Seeing Fang Nan standing with arms crossed, still angry, Ye Chui asked with a smile, “Nan Nan, what’s wrong? Did Fang Xi make you angry again?”
“It has nothing to do with Fang Xi…” Fang Nan shook her head.
Fang Xi had been diligently following her weight loss plan and had gone out for a run early. Fang Nan was upset about something else.
She pointed to the screen of her desktop light brain and said angrily, “I just saw this news. I can’t believe there are such shameless people in the world!”
“What’s up?”
Ye Chui looked at the screen curiously and saw a news headline: “Haifeng Game Company’s Boss Boasts: Our ‘Heavenly Wolf’ Will Defeat Professor Ye Chui’s ‘Hungry Wolf’!”
“Hm? A game company challenging me?” Ye Chui was intrigued.
In the past month, various game companies had sprung up, and even some big companies had established game development departments.
Numerous games had been released.
Ye Chui roughly estimated that about thirty games had been released in nearly a month.
Most of them were arcade-style fighting games inspired by Ye Chui.
But their sales were nowhere near Ye Chui’s, with the highest being just twenty or thirty thousand copies.
Far from his minimum of a million copies.
After all, the concept of game design isn’t something that can be perfected in a few weeks.
And now, a company was challenging him?
Their game was called “Heavenly Wolf,” obviously named to compete with Ye Chui’s “Hungry Wolf Legend.”
Today was the release day of “Hungry Wolf Legend,” and “Heavenly Wolf” chose to release on the same day.
“This Haifeng company is really overestimating themselves, daring to challenge us!” Fang Nan said angrily. “Look at what the boss said in this news article. He claims he’s fully capable of challenging us and that Professor Ye Chui is overrated and not truly deserving of his fame… It’s infuriating!”
Ye Chui understood that Fang Nan was so angry because the article mentioned him, which made him feel happy.
But after reading the news, Ye Chui sighed, “This Haifeng company is quite clever.”
“Why do you say that, Hammer?” Fang Nan was puzzled.
Ye Chui smiled and explained, “After reading this news, what do you want to do the most?”
“Beat up that Haifeng company’s boss!” Fang Nan immediately replied.
“...” Ye Chui rolled his eyes, “A more rational approach?”
Fang Nan thought for a moment, then said, “Buy their game when it releases and see how it compares to ours. Then, post a review mocking their game for being inferior!”
“Exactly!”
Ye Chui snapped his fingers, “That’s probably what Haifeng company is aiming for. By challenging us, they’re generating interest in their game, making people curious to see how it compares, which will boost their sales!”
This behavior is known as hype!
A common tactic in the other world, but just starting to emerge here.
Seeing this kind of news, Ye Chui didn’t feel angry but rather found it familiar.
“The boss of this Haifeng company is quite smart. I’m now curious to see how high their sales will go with this tactic.”
