Taicang Company·Li Yuanxiu Office

Li Yuanxiu has recently developed a new habit: every few days, he will take the initiative to send Zero the latest mecha information or technology-related materials as a sign of "respect".

Sometimes it is a new model of mecha psychic computing, sometimes it is the latest rune cannon improvement theory, or even some epoch-making virtual network technology research.

Of course, his ultimate goal is to make Zero feel his "sincerity" and thus strengthen their cooperative relationship.

However, Zero's response remained the same—

"oh."

Li Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, and silently saved the message in his private notes, naming it: "Quotes from Master Zero - No. 126".

"As expected of a master."

"So calm and composed."

"He is indeed at the pinnacle of technology. Our mundane mecha research probably wouldn't even be of his liking."

He became more and more convinced that Zero's identity was definitely extraordinary.

However, what really shocked Li Yuanxiu about Zero was not his attitude, but his terrifying efficiency.

Every time Li Yuanxiu sent Zero the technical problems his company was working on with regard to mecha technology, he would receive a complete technical solution just two or three days later.

Not only does it solve the problem perfectly, it even has optimization solutions and additional expansions!

For a certain psychic circuit optimization, the company estimated that the R&D team would need two weeks to complete it. However, Zero sent back a complete analysis in two days, along with ten feasible expansion plans.

The latest core research on AI mecha control took the technical team half a month to come up with a preliminary architecture, but Zero wrote a more stable algorithm in just 72 hours, with a note saying, "This should work. Give it a try."

The direction of Taicang's mecha development over the next five years was originally a strategic discussion among the company's top management, but Zero had already whipped up a 50-page PowerPoint presentation detailing all the possible development paths, complete with computer simulations...

Every time Li Yuanxiu received a file from Zero, he would be deeply shocked.

"What kind of monster is this guy...?"

He would always submit it to the R&D team for review with extreme caution, but the result was always the same—

The solution proposed by Zero was flawless and even exceeded their expectations!

Therefore, Li Yuanxiu became more certain——

"Zero is definitely a super boss from some secret technological holy land!"

Taicang Company·Li Yuanxiu Office

Li Yuanxiu recently encountered a problem - how to pay Zero's salary.

Logically, since Zero had become Taicang's special consultant, he should receive the corresponding compensation. So, Li Yuanxiu personally checked Zero's virtual account to settle the first salary.

Then, the problem arose -

"Invalid account."

"Insufficient permissions."

"This user information is confidential."

Li Yuanxiu frowned and checked five times to make sure he had entered the correct account number.

Then he fell into thought.

"Could it be that... Zero doesn't need our salary at all?"

"He doesn't care at all?"

"As expected of a master!"

“They don’t even care about the salary!”

At this moment, he was even more convinced that Zero's identity was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try a different approach.

"Since Zero is unwilling to disclose his account information, I can only offer it to him proactively."

So, he sent a private message to Zero:

"Sir, your salary has been settled. This is a dedicated virtual account and the funds have been deposited into it. Please check it when you have time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

At the same time, he attached an account password and noted the detailed redemption method, hoping that No. 0 would be so kind as to check it out.

Then, he waited for Zero's reply with a nervous mood.

Spirit Realm Battlefield·King Ranked Tournament

Xiang Fan is leading Shadow Killer, Ling Ruoxi, and Ling Ruochen on a high-intensity winning streak to rush for points.

"Hurry, hurry! Shadow Killer, go around the back and don't waste time!"

"Ling Ruoxi, hurry up and support, this guy is stalling for time!"

"Ling Ruochen, what are you doing? Don't overclock casually!"

The scene was chaotic for a while, and at this moment, Li Yuanxiu's message popped up.

He glanced at Xiang Fan.

"Salary settlement...account password..."

"oh."

He was too lazy to read it carefully, so he just saved the message and continued to shout and lead his teammates to slaughter the opponents crazily.

Li Yuanxiu saw Zero's reply——

"oh."

He took a deep breath.

"Sure enough...Zero doesn't care at all."

He folded his arms across his chest, lost in thought.

"It seems that the little bonus from our Taicang Company is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the experts..."

"Perhaps Zero doesn't even bother talking about money and is guiding us purely out of interest."

"The wealth we possess may really be just a string of meaningless numbers to him..."

This time, he didn't dare to urge him at all. Instead, he took a screenshot of Zero's **"Oh** and saved it, naming it - Zero Master's Quotes No. 127.

In the spiritual battlefield, the battle is fierce

"Shadow Killer! You idiot! Didn't you agree to go around the rear?"

"Ling Ruoxi, your mecha is about to explode, why don't you retreat?"

"Ling Ruochen, what are you doing? Did you use the wrong skill again?"

Shadow Killer: "Ahhh! Boss, help me!"

Ling Ruoxi: "I don't care, I'm going to fight!"

Ling Ruochen: "Cousin, please don't be so fierce. I'll try again!"

Xiang Fan held his forehead, feeling that he was leading a group of stupid teammates to gain points every day.

At this moment, Li Yuanxiu's message popped up again -

"Sir, if you have any opinions about the salary, please let us know."

Xiang Fan glanced at him and replied casually:

"Nothing. I'm busy."

Li Yuanxiu: “!!!!”

He took a deep breath, slowly put down the communicator, and stared at the line "It's okay, I'm busy." He felt greatly shocked.

"Sure enough, Zero doesn't care about money at all!"

"He didn't even bother to log into his account!"

"This is the true hidden master!"

His admiration grew, and he even began to think about how he could truly get closer to Zero.

At the same time, Xiang Fan completely put the issue of salary behind him and continued to lead his fellow players to make great strides in the qualifying competition.

At the end of this game, he had a total of 23 kills, while Shadow Killer had zero damage and was still frantically shouting "Boss, help me!"

In the distance, Li Yuanxiu was still thinking about how to "please" this unfathomable Boss Zero...
