“Zeh... Boss Sheng, if you're looking for security now, Director Cai will be crying to find me soon...” The Black-Clad Man lazily leaned against the doorframe of the conference room, flicking nonexistent dust off his shoulders. The curve of his lips was cold and mocking, his deep voice revealing no inflection. “I suppose your tech department should be here by now—”
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the tech department, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a checkered shirt, rushed in, drenched in sweat. Upon seeing the Black-Clad Man, his panicked expression instantly calmed down, as if he had found his anchor. “Mr. Qin, you’re here... Ah, Boss, have you two already been introduced?”
“Old Cai, what’s going on?!” Boss Sheng shouted angrily at the pale-faced Director Cai.
“Boss, this... this is...” Director Cai stammered nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Seeing this situation unfold, the secretary who had previously calmed Boss Sheng could no longer stand by. He stood up and said, “Boss, the genius that Director Cai mentioned regarding the data issues must be this gentleman here... Mr. Qin?”
“Tsk, I’m just a person; I hardly deserve the title of genius,” Qin Huai said with a seemingly smiling expression in his arched brows, though his eyes were devoid of warmth. “Director Cai, regarding the issues with Zero Point’s operation, there’s no need to rush. If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first.” He raised an eyebrow at Boss Sheng, whose expression had suddenly darkened, and continued nonchalantly, “As for the commission... let’s leave it at that—”
“Mr. Qin!”
Director Cai turned pale and hurriedly interrupted Qin Huai ’s words, his attitude increasingly anxious. “We were indeed late because there was a major issue with the operation...” At this point, he anxiously looked toward his Boss. “Boss, there’s been data overflow in Zero Point; it’s about to go out of control. If it does go out of control, the consequences are unimaginable. Perhaps all players currently online will be trapped in Zero Point—”
“What?! Old Cai, why are you only telling me this now—!” Boss Sheng also turned pale as he grasped the implications of Director Cai's words. It felt as if he had several tons of explosives in his chest; his scalp tingled and breathing quickened. He hurriedly looked at Qin Huai. “Mr. Qin, I apologize for any offense earlier; it was my fault. Please bear with me. You’ve heard about Zero Point's situation; it truly cannot wait. Could you kindly lend a hand? It would be a great help to all players...”
Listening intently to their conversation without missing a word, Qin Huai felt a tightening in his chest as well. If the data overflow was severe enough to cause a game shutdown...
The unimaginable consequences!
Especially since the Military Department's freezing technology was not yet fully developed...
Thinking back to what he had seen in the Military Department's secret laboratory—the experimental subjects—darkness flickered in his eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that the Military Department was completely under his control now, he wouldn’t dare believe that those people—no, those things—had once truly been human—
They were clearly just skeletons with ghostly blue flames!
Moreover...
They bore a striking resemblance to Zero Point's Dark Camp Monsters by seventy percent.
The only difference, perhaps, was that they still had skeletons, while the Dark Camp Monsters were entirely composed of a Soul Fire.
"Take me to the Technical Department."
His cold voice rang out, and both Boss Sheng and Director Cai felt a wave of relief wash over them.
Technical Department.
As soon as they pushed the door open and entered, a scene of chaos unfolded before their eyes.
The Light Screen displayed overflowing data that flickered rapidly, with elusive characters flashing by in a blur, occasionally interspersed with many strange symbols—twisted, obscure, yet familiar...
Familiar?
Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, focusing intently on those peculiar characters. When he encountered an odd symbol formed by two special signs, a look of astonishment crossed his face. Wasn't this—
The Fallen Gate?!
Zero Point had four doors in every class transfer hall, and that special Fallen Gate was known to all Zero Point players... including that bizarre symbol representing darkness and light.
What on earth was going on?
Recalling the information he had gathered earlier, his absurd thoughts about Zero Point became increasingly clear. Could it be—
No, he needed to find the girl and ask her directly.
"Mr. Qin?!"
Seeing the exquisitely handsome man in front of him staring blankly at the Light Screen, the previously frantic members of the Technical Department had unknowingly stopped what they were doing, entranced by his beauty. Director Cai wiped away the beads of sweat accumulating on his forehead and shouted, "You all! Why aren't you finding a solution? Staring at us won't help!"
"Shut down all overflow data processing operations in the System—"
Qin Huai's cold and deep voice issued the first command. His gaze swept over a girl from the technical department who was still in a daze, and he impatiently shouted, "Hurry up!"
"Ah?—Oh!" The girl, coming back to her senses, blushed and rushed to the interface to start working.
Director Cai tightly gripped the cloth in his hand and shouted, "Do you all want to end up in prison? Move it! Everyone listen to Mr. Qin's orders, quickly!"
Boss Sheng observed the chaotic scene but noted that at least the technical department members were managing to complete the commands one by one. He glanced at the calm man in black operating at the main control interface, and his anxious heart eased slightly.
"Activate the auxiliary equipment, switch on the backup System, and Guidance all overflow data into the backup System. You... yes, you, keep an eye on this row of jumping data values. If it exceeds the safety threshold, input this code, then record the value changes for the next thirty seconds..."
"Director Cai, adjust the value range of the backup System to its maximum. Also, clear out the operating System in the auxiliary equipment and replace it with the main operating System..."
His cold and hoarse voice carried a calming magic that instantly steadied the chaotic technical department. With each clear and concise command he issued, everyone immersed themselves in their tasks without hesitation. Meanwhile, his long fingers danced across the Light Screen interface, creating an effective and swift System barrier.
His taut jawline resembled a meticulously crafted piece of art—flawless and perfect. His crimson lips formed a cold arc, indifferent yet focused; his piercing gaze shone brightly, leaving an unforgettable impression.
When Huo Suixin entered the main control room with Huo Yuwei, they found the man in black standing amidst the chaos of the control room. His tall and slender figure bent slightly, accentuating his alluring back lines. His side profile was strikingly serious as he typed away with swift fingers, seemingly unaffected by anything happening outside.
Huo Yuwei's heart skipped uncontrollably.
