80: Chapter 80 The Third Employee, the Troublemaker Han Xiaoxin

Many years later, Fox Hunter would still feel somewhat fortunate when looking back, thinking about how wise he had been to choose to hack into such an unremarkable little website. If it hadn't been for his own efforts, wouldn't he have missed out on a sincere romance?

Waist-length hair, a straight, delicate nose, cold and stern eyes, a slender waist, straight, long legs, plus a pair of black-rimmed glasses and professional office attire—she was the absolute embodiment of a nerd's fantasy.

Fox Hunter was stunned for a moment.

Having spent so much time as a shut-in in front of a computer, he had almost zero resistance to this.

Liu Yemei furrowed her brows.

"Are you the new employee that President Wang mentioned?"

Fox Hunter snapped back to reality, shrank his neck slightly, and said: "I believe that would be me. My name is Han Xiaoxin."

"Follow me." Liu Yemei turned and walked away.

Han Xiaoxin hurriedly followed.

As soon as the two left, the crowd of reporters at the entrance began buzzing with conversation again.

...

Wang Shuo was currently in his office on the third floor. On the large screen directly in front of him, Chen Xin's beautiful face was displayed.

"That is what I plan to do. If you truly have no issues with it, I will proceed."

Wang Shuo said calmly.

"I have no issues."

Chen Xin said calmly, though there seemed to be a flicker of disturbance in her eyes as she looked at Wang Shuo: "My eldest uncle has already had people place the equipment you requested in the designated location. I will ask my father to find a way to get the other equipment."

"I have already had it checked, there are no issues." Wang Shuo nodded and said: "I will repay the money I owe you as soon as possible."

Chen Xin's eyes flickered, and she finally nodded: "Alright."

The call ended.

"Zero, are the calculation results ready?"

"The calculation results appeared thirty-five minutes ago, Sir."

"Report them."

"After deducing Scenarios One, Two, and Three and incorporating them into the current event for preliminary simulation analysis, if you adopt Scenario Three, the success probability will reach forty-five percent, which is the highest. The probabilities for adopting Scenario One and Scenario Two are thirteen percent and sixteen percent, respectively."

Wang Shuo frowned. This situation did not actually meet his expectations, but...

"Zero, have Liu Yemei go out and tell those reporters that the company will announce a major decision in half an hour, and ask them to keep it down."

"Understood, the message has been sent."

"Also," Wang Shuo continued, "how is the sub-program you were deducing coming along? Can you derive a simplified sub-program based on your core source code?"

"It is currently being deduced. It is expected to be finished and the code generated in four hours and fifty-six minutes."

"Very good." Wang Shuo nodded. Limited by the state of the servers, Zero achieving such high efficiency was already a credit to the new code; he could not ask for more.

Having quieted down for the moment, Wang Shuo opened a document on his computer desktop. Rows of blueprints appeared. Wang Shuo frowned and used his tools to examine them carefully.

"Sir, Liu Yemei wishes to see you."

"Enter stealth mode and open the door."

The door opened in response. Through the subtle adjustments over the past two days, Wang Shuo had already integrated Zero with the company's entire relevant system, including surveillance, door locks, and so on. Automatic door opening was one of the newly added features.

"President Wang." Liu Yemei walked in, followed by the newly arrived Han Xiaoxin: "This is..."

"I know him." Wang Shuo looked at Han Xiaoxin with a half-smile and said to Liu Yemei: "You go ahead and get busy. I have some words for this new employee."

Liu Yemei nodded and turned to leave.

Han Xiaoxin's attention was still fixed on Liu Yemei. Seeing her leave, he felt a bit disappointed, and then he glared at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo chuckled: "What's wrong? Do you not recognize me so soon?"

What do you mean 'do not recognize me so soon'? Have we met? Han Xiaoxin was furious and wanted to humiliate young man in front of him, but thinking of the mysterious person's terror, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

To show his toughness, Han Xiaoxin turned his head to the side, only to see the strange patterns on Wang Shuo's computer.

Looking at the complex blueprints, then looking at the young Wang Shuo, Han Xiaoxin curled his lips. This guy was putting on an act, and he was even better at it than himself.

As the self-proclaimed defending champion of the world of posturing, Han Xiaoxin considered himself to have reached the pinnacle of pretense. Back in the day, typing code on the subway and such—he had done that plenty of times. Every time he saw the envious and surprised looks of passersby, and then gave them a response that 'everything is just child's play,' that feeling...

So, little brother, in terms of posturing, you have already lost.

"Han Xiaoxin, male, Han ethnicity, born in 1996, student at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Because you liked computers, you taught yourself programming, later becoming a professional hacker and serving as a technical mentor for the Hongmeng Alliance. You once hacked multiple famous websites because you wanted to teach a class to your classmates, causing huge losses, and you have been wanted by the authorities ever since..." After reading a paragraph, Wang Shuo threw the printed paper on the table and said: "Do you need me to continue?"

"No need to continue, I concede." Han Xiaoxin curled his lips: "This information was all told to you by that senior, right? Meeting such an expert, I, Fox Hunter, concede! But you must keep your word. I have already come! You must also keep the identities of our team members a secret!"

Wang Shuo looked at the Han Xiaoxin in front of him with a faint chuckle. This guy still thought until now that he had mastered the identities of other team members besides him and "Little Black."

However, one had to admit that, apart from anything else, Han Xiaoxin's own experience could be considered an inspirational legend. Unfortunately, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not picking a soft persimmon to squeeze and running into him. Others couldn't catch you because both sides were on the same technical level, but for Wang Shuo, with this type of person, it was better to just crush them with technology directly.

Using technology to suppress people—this was the path Wang Shuo had set for himself.

"My words naturally count." Wang Shuo nodded.

"Also..." Han Xiaoxin twisted his neck and said: "Please let that senior come out. I want to meet him. Even if I, Fox Hunter, lose, I want to lose clearly!"

"Oh?" Wang Shuo raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

"Naturally, I am sure!" Han Xiaoxin said decisively: "Or is it that this senior doesn't dare to come out to see me? If that's the case, then I am truly disappointed!"

"I am just afraid of crushing you." Wang Shuo said calmly. After the tempering of the past two days with the Chen Group, he had slowly begun to learn from Chen Xin: "But since you asked for it, then..."

"Zero, come out and meet our new friend."

Putting on an act! Just as Han Xiaoxin was about to scoff, he heard a male voice suddenly come from the speaker next to him.

"Hello, Han Xiaoxin. I am Zero."

"What the hell?" Han Xiaoxin was startled.

"You can call me Zero. I am the first-generation Artificial Intelligence, version number 1.20."

That's right, in just these few days, Wang Shuo had already upgraded Zero by two minor versions.

"Huh?" Han Xiaoxin showed a comical expression, then showed a look of contempt toward Wang Shuo, laughing loudly: "You are too good at putting on an act. You just found some random voice assistant somewhere and want to trick me? Am I that easy to trick? Zero? I'm One, then."

"Heh." Wang Shuo smiled calmly: "Zero, introduce yourself and your capabilities to our new employee."

"My name is Zero, first-generation Artificial Intelligence, core-authorized by Wang Shuo, built using a new code language, possessing a certain degree of reasoning ability. I can provide you with suggestions and guidance in any aspect."

"Han Xiaoxin, you attempted to hack this system forty-eight hours ago and were counter-attacked. I have recorded your information and reconstructed your underlying information code. If you have any situation that violates company regulations, I will notify the relevant departments after reporting to Sir."

Han Xiaoxin grinned: "I am also a technical expert. This level of script can be trained in advance. There are quite a few smart voice assistants on the market now, right?"

"You are right." Wang Shuo nodded. It was good that he was so unconvinced; it was the perfect time to test Zero's new capabilities after the upgrade. He then said calmly: "Zero, collect Han Xiaoxin's voice information and perform a voiceprint analysis, synchronize the simulation, change the voice channel, target: Han Xiaoxin."

"What a joke, simulate my voice? How can you collect it if I don't speak?" Han Xiaoxin sneered, thinking to himself, keep putting on your act; I'll see how long you can keep it up.

"Command confirmed. Analyzing based on the voice data already collected in the database... Simulating... Simulation complete. Confirm changing voice attributes?"

"Change." Wang Shuo said calmly.

The next moment, Han Xiaoxin heard his own voice coming from the speaker.

"Change complete, Sir."

Han Xiaoxin's eyes widened instantly.
