The affair of swindling the cryptocurrency circle finally came to an end.
The stolen money was recovered, and the mother who had contemplated jumping off a building burst into tears, incessantly thanking Pingping and others involved in the group.
The players also benefited, with many feeling that the money they earned that day could serve as a down payment for a house.
In the group, they couldn’t stop expressing gratitude for Black Tech, while sneakily asking if Black Tech needed any friends, daytime or nighttime.
To these inquiries, Black Tech didn’t reply, though he read the messages.
Not only that, but he straightforwardly disbanded all the groups, allowing himself to completely vanish from everyone’s sight.
However, in the “Morals Aid Group” he often visited, someone curiously asked, “Black Tech, did you really pull this off?”
Black Tech: “Yep.”
“Impressive. Oh, by the way, I found a pretty interesting strategy while playing a game recently; do you want to try it with me?”
Reading the message, Black Tech smiled.
Even though the people in the Morals Aid Group lacked morals, they had a redeeming quality—they only liked playing games and didn’t care much about anything else.
There, all of Black Tech’s auras were ineffective, and all that remained was a label: “pretty skilled at games.”
As a genius, Black Tech loved the atmosphere here, where people treated him just as a player, not anything else.
After carefully reading through the strategy mentioned by the other, Black Tech replied in the group: “Sure.”
Meanwhile, Fang Cheng, who was in the Star Sea hunting down other consciousnesses, suddenly sensed something.
Focusing on the Dustfire in his hand, he discovered that it had begun to mix with other colors.
Though the additional color wasn’t prominent at first, it gradually spread over time and threatened to replace the original hue.
Noticing Fang Cheng’s concerned expression, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, who was serving as bait, asked worriedly, “Great Heavenly Lord, what’s wrong?”
“Three rather troublesome issues.”
Zhiyi Heavenly Lord’s face turned pale with shock.
If Fang Cheng deemed something troublesome, then it truly must be problematic.
Taking a closer look, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord gasped in surprise.
To him, Fang Cheng was enshrouded with karma, as thick and chilling as a fog of darkness.
“Great Heavenly Lord, what has happened to you? Would you like me to make a sacrifice for you?”
“Minor problems, no big deal. And why are you like the people in Immortal Village, always ready to offer yourself up the moment there’s trouble?”
“To die for the Great Heavenly Lord would be my honor.”
Glancing at the earnest Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, Fang Cheng didn’t want to say more.
Looking at the karma entwined around him, Fang Cheng felt it closely and found that most of it was related to “Here Comes One Trillion.”
After all, that thing was a bit sinister.
A web game with such strong computing power—it was somewhat incredible.
Later on, curious minds would ponder why this game could harness such strong computing power, what Fang Cheng Studio was really up to, and the principles behind their technology, among other things.
And then, the more they pondered, the more complicated the resulting karma became.
But fortunately, the issue was not significant.
Twisting the karma around himself, Fang Cheng uprooted it and, with a stroking motion of his hand, turned the grey karma into a long halberd.
Raising his hand, the River of Destiny unfolded before him, with its golden waters tumultuous and forbidding, where not even immortals dared to enter rashly. Even Zhiyi Heavenly Lord beside him felt a sense of fear.
But Fang Cheng simply stared at the river, and before long, he spotted his target.
“Go.”
The halberd flew from his hand, the gray weapon plunging directly into the River of Destiny and dissolving that bit of cause and effect into the waters.
“It can be done like this!” Zhiyi Heavenly Lord exclaimed in astonishment.
“It always could,” Fang Cheng said casually, “Cause and effect originate from the River of Destiny, so naturally, they should be returned to it.”
“Not that… I understand the principle, but why on earth?”
The River of Destiny was visible to the Heavenly Lords, but that was about all they could do—just watch it.
Many Heavenly Lords had thought of harnessing the power of this river, but sadly, they lacked the strength and ability, and often ended up suffering backlash from the river’s waters, disintegrating and waiting to be resurrected.
Using the river to deal with cause and effect was really an overkill.
This felt like planning to throw away some trash and someone pulling the sun closer, then pointing inside and saying, “Throw it here, it has a strong pull!”
After clapping his hands, Fang Cheng had dealt with those causes and effects, and then the next issue cropped up.
Staring at Dustfire, Fang Cheng realized that players were utilizing “Here Comes One Trillion” in some outrageous ways.
Even though the cause and effect had been resolved, the players had already discovered the proper way to use this game.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
That is, computational power.
The computational power within this game was astonishingly high; using it to merely run the game was indeed wasteful. Many people started to share methods of creating different environments in the game and then harnessing its computational power to serve their own purposes.
They were currently a niche group, but as this platform became more popular, more and more people would use it, and Dustfire would gradually evolve towards a scientific research orientation.
Realizing that this situation could not be reversed, Fang Cheng sighed.
Black Tech, I always knew you were no ordinary being.
Noting this name, Fang Cheng knew he had one more person to watch out for in the future.
The issue of cause and effect was easily resolved, the problem of Dustfire was unsolvable, and the final problem was money.
His money had increased.
The players had earned too much this time, and Black Tech didn’t accept any red envelopes, but in the end, shared an opinion:
[This time it was thanks to Fang Cheng Studio’s game that the goal was achieved. If you want to express gratitude, thank Fang Cheng Studio.]
That statement woke people from their dreams.
[Yeah, we’ve been freely using their computational power, and it doesn’t seem quite right not to give anything back.]
[Right, but I have a question: Why is Fang Cheng Studio’s server so powerful?]
[It’s probably quantum computing and other Black Tech. Think about it; Fang Cheng Studio is now the nation’s leading gaming company. Wouldn’t it be normal for the country to give some support? And Fang Cheng Studio isn’t short on cash—maybe they really did buy quantum computers worth one trillion.]
[I see, that makes sense. So how do we repay Fang Cheng Studio?]
[As for me, I’ve already bought ten sets of every game from Fang Cheng Studio and give one set away whenever I meet someone.]
[Good idea, I plan to buy virtual helmets and matching equipment, and the top-spec ensemble comes to about 220,000.]
[It’s expensive, sure, but since it’s not my money, I’ll consider it supporting national products.]
[Great idea, I’m going to buy too.]
[Count me in.]
[Me too. I’ve seen plenty of game manufacturers that make me spend money, but this is the first time I’ve seen one that gives me money to spend. I can’t help but support them.]
And so, orders flew in like snowflakes—even as the CEO of Kirin Industry kept stressing that their factory’s production capacity was limited and it might take a month to receive the goods, the players who had made money were still willing to pay upfront and wait for delivery.
Looking at the flood of orders, Gao Tianyun felt a mix of pain and pleasure.
However, he was still a bit apprehensive and approached Fang Cheng asking, “Mr. Fang, our recent orders have surged; do you have any clue why?”
“How would I know?” said Fang Cheng, helpless. “Are you short on money? Are you still looking to invest?”
