Chu Tians bedroom.

Chu Tian sat down before his computer and turned it on.

After he signed into his Hackers Forum account, three private messages popped up on the screen.

Wang Xiaofeng: Shadow Bro, youre a bit too blunt this time, no? You left after taking the money without saying anything?

Wang Xiaofeng: Oh, thats right. Shadow Bro, doesnt it feel good to work with the government? Arent they extremely prompt with their delivery of the money?

Wang Xiaofeng: Shadow Bro, send me a message when youre on. Theres a new job for you.

The last message was sent half an hour ago. After Chu Tian finished reading it, he compiled a reply.

Chu Tian: Hey, Im on now. So, whats up? Whats the new job?

Chu Tian had only just sent the private message but he immediately received a response from Wang Xiaofeng.

Wang Xiaofeng: Damn, Shadow Bro, youre finally online. Its so difficult to catch you online nowadays.

Chu Tian: Hahaha. Nothing I can do about it. My grandsons just born so all our relatives and friends are here to see him. I have no choice but to entertain them.

Wang Xiaofeng: Right, right, right. Gotta do what you gotta do. So, did your old military comrades show up?

Chu Tian: Its not like I gave birth to a new son. Why would my military comrades come? I didnt mention my grandsons birth to them.

Wang Xiaofeng: Oh, thats right. Shadow Bro, Im quite curious with your computer skills. Did you learn them in the military?

Military?

Theyre attempting to learn more about my identity?

Chu Tian smiled and started typing away: How could that be? Back in the days when I was in the military, computers werent a thing yet. Well have to forward the time to the 1980s, thirty-some years ago.

Chu Tian: Youre still young so you havent experienced that era before. Back in the 1980s, much less computers, even TVs were extremely rare. Back then, it would be amazing if a village had two or three black and white TVs.

Chu Tian: Back then, even electricity wasnt stable. We will have electricity one day and without the next. We were all lighting candles. Moreover, landline phones were even rarer than TVs. Back during the time of the black and white TVs, you wouldnt be able to find a single phone in an entire village. We would all be writing letters to each other.

Chu Tian: Its only later that we started having giant cell phones, pagers and color TVs. Even computers were gradually popularized throughout our country. Back then, we couldnt even imagine something like the computers. It was simply too magical. Its something we wouldnt dare imagine.

Wang Xiaofeng: Now that you mention it, if its during the 1980s, things were indeed like that. In that case, Shadow Bro, youre quite up with the trends. Youre actually able to become this skilled with computers.

Chu Tian: Im just keeping up with the flow. Ive always been interested in these electronics. When I came in contact with computers, I was enchanted by it.

Chu Tian: Oh, thats right. You mentioned something about a new job in your message? Whats the job?

Wang Xiaofeng: Ah. The government verified all the system loopholes you found last time. Its true, they were all present. But, an issue occurred.

Wang Xiaofeng: The loopholes you found, some of them seemed to be difficult to fix. Because of that, the government wanted to ask you to fix those loopholes. If youre up for it, theyll like to hire you again.

Sure enough!

Reading the message sent over by Wang Xiaofeng, Chu Tian started smiling.

It was exactly as he predicted yesterday!

He suspected that the job would not end with only finding the loopholes. After all, it was one thing to find a loophole and a completely separate thing to fix the loopholes.

It would seem that Ill be able to make a big sum of money again!

Thinking that, Chu Tian immediately replied: Tsk fixing loopholes? Sigh, thats not going to be easy. As were both in this trade, you should know that fixing loopholes arent like patching clothes. Its going to be very difficult and labor intensive.

Wang Xiaofeng: Completely understand. I obviously know that fixing loopholes isn't that easy. If one was to make some careless mistake while fixing a loophole, one might introduce new loopholes into the system. That being said, the government is willing to pay quite a bit. Itll be 5 million per loophole.

Wang Xiaofeng: Say, Shadow Bro, dont you want to earn some more baby formula money for your grandson?

Chu Tian: Hahaha. Kid, you know how to incite me. Indeed, I cherish this fat grandson of mine. Very well, send over the loopholes that needed to be fixed. Ill go and make myself a cup of coffee to freshen up my concentration. Even if I must work overtime tonight, Ill get this done.

Wang Xiaofeng: Got it. Im sending them over now.

Wang Xiaofeng:

Wang Xiaofeng: A total of thirteen loopholes. At a price of 5 million a loophole, theyll be enough to pay for not only your grandsons baby formulas, theyll be enough to pay for your second grandsons baby formulas too.

As Chu Tian saw the thirteen loopholes Wang Xiaofeng sent over, he couldnt help himself from licking his lower lip and smiling.

13 loopholes at a price of 5 million each. In other words, 65 million!

The government was truly generous!

After the smile disappeared, Chu Tian started typing away on his computer.

Time flashed past. It was already 11PM.

Inside Chu Tians bedroom. Typing rapidly on his keyboard, Chu Tian seemed to have discovered something all of a sudden and stopped typing.

He slowly turned his head around to look at his bedrooms door that was being opened. He pressed a couple keys on his keyboard and his computer screen changed to a file folder.

It was the folder of the web-novels he was ghostwriting before.

Finally, as the door of his bedroom was slowly pushed open, Bai Xiaochun, with a smile on her face and her long hair in a free fall, appeared.
