Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Master Xue Yun looked at the message in front of him and revealed a cryptic smile, "So, this is Lu Xiaobu? A unity of Buddha and demon, he can either lead people to enlightenment or astray!"

"I thought restraining him with the Second Level Rich List for half a year was of little use, but now it seems, I was the one being plotted against!"

"Could it be, after this half year, he really can leap across the entire Second Level Rich List?!"

"Originally there was nothing, wherefore comes the dust!"

...

Master Xue Yun remained calm, but Xia Jie and Zhan Longyan couldn't keep their composure!

Zhan Longyan: "Dammit! What's going on?! When did another Extinction Express pop up?!"

Xia Jie: "Exactly! Damn! Lu Xiaobu pulled this off without anyone noticing! We all were paying attention to his website, who would've thought he'd take a new path!"

Zhan Longyan gritted his teeth: "No worries! With such speed, he must be spending a fortune, he won't last many days!"

Xia Jie: "Right! Right!"

Though Xia Jie outwardly agreed with Zhan Longyan, privately he knew it was just Zhan's self-deception.

They had already learned that the so-called Extinction Express was merely an extension of Lu Group's logistics.

That is to say, most of the expenses had already been paid for initially.

Now, they only needed to cover the additional labor costs and the increased transportation costs.

And how much could those costs be?

Thus, though reluctantly admitted, Lu Xiaobu's move was indeed a masterstroke!

Look, it won't be surprising if Lin Feng's Taobao loses a significant chunk of business to Lu Xiaobu!

...

As Xia Jie predicted, over the following period, Extinction's traffic and transaction volume steadily grew, and although still far behind Taobao, they had firmly established themselves!

That is to say, Lu Xiaobu's Extinction Company had successfully entrenched itself amid the fierce competition in online shopping, and had captured a significant market!

The battle for supremacy was next!

...

Extinction Company.

"How is it going?"

Lu Xiaobu asked the sweating Zeng Changhong in front of him.

"Young Master, our bounties have been claimed several times already, but none of them wish to join the company. I'm still negotiating,"

Zeng Changhong said, wiping his sweat.

They had previously thought their firewall was extremely secure, but got breached five times within a day after Young Master issued a bounty.

That slap severely jostled their security department!

They realized then that their so-called firewall was no different than a paper window in front of these hackers!

"Hmm, do you know who the top hackers in the country are?" Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Cannot afford random searches anymore, time waits for no one, who knows what tricks Lin Feng might pull!

"The top hackers?" Zeng Changhong's expression awkwardly shifted.

"What's wrong? You don't know?"

Lu Xiaobu was surprised, "Working in this field, and you don't even know who the top hackers are?"

"That, Young Master Xiaobu, I'm wronged!"

Zeng Changhong immediately protested, "Of course I know the well-known hackers in the country, but these hackers usually have their own employment, either in top network companies or state cybersecurity departments, and are essentially immovable unlike other professions!"

Lu Xiaobu nodded at this point.

That made sense; imagine if a hacker who knew all about a company's cybersecurity was poached, wouldn't their network become a backyard for others?!

Come and go as they please!

Seeing that Lu Xiaobu understood him, Zeng Changhong sighed in relief, "Of course, the most famous aren't necessarily the most skilled! We all know that there's a handful of the best hackers in the country, but these hackers never expose themselves and barely interact with the outside world, they aren't ones we can easily approach."

"Simply put, once they show up, they'll be caught, right?" Lu Xiaobu quirked his lips.

"Cough cough cough, you're not wrong about that," Zeng Changhong forced a laugh.

"Alright, you carry on, I'll think of a solution." Lu Xiaobu nodded and walked out of the office.

He could somewhat understand the thinking of those top-level hackers.

At their level, money really becomes trivial because all they need to do is tap a few keys to earn a hefty profit!

They are like Dugu Qiubai's swordsmen, with nothing but the sword in their hearts and no other pursuits!

Thus, to get these people on board, you must present something breathtaking.

Like, a top-level virus!

He believed these top-level viruses would be like unparalleled Martial Arts Secret Skills to these hackers, possessing an immense allure!

However, releasing them is a huge problem.

After all, in the digital age, one careless move could cause massive damage!

Firstly, it can't be released domestically!

Secondly, it can't be released domestically!

Lastly, it can't be released domestically!

Yes, that's right!

"System, find me a virus, something this world has never seen, with tremendous destructive power."

Lu Xiaobu spoke to the system.

"Damn it, why do I feel like I'm more of a servant than a system?! You only look for me when you need something, and ignore me when you don't?!" the system grumbled.

Lu Xiaobu: "Hey, are you getting an attitude now?! Who was it that said not to bother you whether something comes up or not?!"

"It's just boredom!" the system brazenly bluffed: "With no new forms of entertainment, what am I supposed to do?!"

"Go to hell! Tell me, what do you want?"

Lu Xiaobu immediately knew the system definitely wanted a favor.

"I... I want..." the system began to say but stopped halfway.

"What's up?"

Lu Xiaobu was stunned, this wasn't like the system at all!

"Well, I want to help you out, but you have to promise me something."

The system spoke cunningly.

"No, how am I supposed to know what you want if you don't tell me?"

Lu Xiaobu's heart skipped a beat, sensing that what the system wanted must be no small thing.

"Anyway, you decide. If you don't agree, I won't help you find the virus! Or else you can just slowly try your luck at drawing it, and if you succeed, consider it my loss!" the system shamelessly said.

"You bastard! You're openly threatening me!"

Lu Xiaobu couldn't help but laugh!

What kind of system talks about losing if I manage to draw it?!

It simply means Lu Xiaobu won't be able to get it!

Seriously, what system acts as shamelessly as this?!

"Yeah, right, threatening you!"

The system confidently said: "I learned it from someone, don't forget the last time someone brushed me off!"

"Fine! Fine! Whatever your condition is, I agree, okay!"

Lu Xiaobu said helplessly: "Just go and handle it!"

"This is you saying it!" the system exclaimed excitedly.

"I said it, now scram!"

Lu Xiaobu resignedly.

However, his curiosity was still piqued, what in the world did this system want to do?!
