Yang Jia seriously discussed with Zhang Zitao the feasibility of laying a network on Hope Star to connect with the Earth.

Although Li Bai would definitely take this matter to heart, she couldn't be left to fight alone. So Yang Jia felt that he needed to share some of the burden.

Zhang Zitao was left in a state of confusion at her wild idea. "President, Boss, our computer science field is divided into many different areas. I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Zhang Zitao is undoubtedly talented, but with so many people on Earth today, there are certainly people more gifted than him. Coming from a humble background, he lacks the tools to advance, which is why he struggles in the real world and has no prospects for advancement. He needs to focus all his energy on gaming.

To be honest, he was able to achieve such achievements in the game, not only because of his own talent, but also because of Yang Jia's support.

Of course, a bit of luck is also indispensable.

So Yang Jia suddenly threw a task that Zhang Zitao was completely unable to handle. Even if Zhang Zitao tried his best, there was nothing he could do.

Yang Jia was very disappointed about this.

Of course, she knew that Zhang Zitao's research direction was also very meaningful, at least in this game world. After all, if her and Li Bai's guess came true, and the system master of this game was really an intelligent life, then it would be a perfect match for Zhang Zitao's profession.

You can't force someone to do a decathlon, right?

But for her, getting in touch with Hope Star is more important than anything else at the moment.

In the past, Yang Jia and Li Bai always discussed everything together. Now that they were apart, coordination was needed, and this communication became even more necessary. But in this situation, communication depended entirely on telepathy. While Yang Jia believed that she and Li Bai understood each other well enough to easily divine each other's intentions, objective conditions were constantly changing, and any speculation that ignored these variables was tantamount to folly.

Zhang Zitao felt his scalp tingling when he saw Yang Jia sighing.

To be honest, Yang Jia had never made any requests of him before, and this was the first time he had done something he absolutely couldn't do. Zhang Zitao felt very distressed. He had no choice but to bring out the results of his recent research to try to divert Yang Jia's attention.

The last time Yang Jia tried to enter the data world, he was almost knocked unconscious by the impact of the data flow. Afterwards, he learned a lot from these data and realized that he was also one of the chess pieces of the system and would not be easily thrown out by the other party. In addition, there were more important things to do, so he put aside the security issues for the time being.

But Zhang Zitao's research did not stop.

Having learned from Yang Jia's lesson, he became more cautious in his actions. He stole data fragments from the data world one by one, and then analyzed and restored them, hoping to decipher the content.

Although Zhang Zitao also thought about it, since he was in the game, no matter how cautious he was, could the system really not detect what he did?

However, as a scientific researcher, Zhang Zitao has always been adventurous and courageous. Although he can only speculate, there is no response from the system at present, so he will naturally not give up this research.

Compared to Yang Jia and Li Bai who attach more importance to the information contained in information fragments, Zhang Zitao, as a professional, is more interested in using this to understand how the system works.

This idea is extremely bold. I guess not many people would do such a thing while playing games, right?

Especially knowing the development background of this game.

You have to know that he has to deal with not only the system itself, but also the research team that developed and is responsible for maintaining it. They are all industry veterans, and Zhang Zitao's little tricks are nothing in their eyes.

However, he also has his own advantages, that is, when he is in the game, many data are difficult to monitor in reality because the system will not open up monitoring rights in this regard.

Even when the DIE virus was at its worst, Zhang Zitao didn't give up on this research. Because viruses weren't his forte, and besides creating an analysis program for them, he couldn't offer much help, so he decided to focus on his own work.

Not long ago, based on the results of his recent research, he conducted a massive maintenance on the guild platform. During this process, he secretly made some minor adjustments to the systems of other guilds.

Although he had built all the platforms and left backdoors, he couldn't take advantage of others. Being wary and cautious of the Nirvana Guild, they naturally constantly modified and patched the original system, rendering most of the methods they had left behind ineffective.

But after Zhang Zitao made progress in his research, he was able to see the flaws from a high vantage point and thus succeeded easily.

He didn't tell anyone about this arrangement.

While he was confident his method wouldn't be cracked immediately, Zhang Zitao also knew it could only be used once. After that, the other party would become wary again and abandon the system platform. Therefore, he had to keep this trump card hidden for as long as possible, saving it for a crucial moment to maximize its effectiveness.

However, this was nothing. After Yang Jia finished being happy, Zhang Zitao tried hard to suppress his excitement and pulled him in front of the computer. "Actually, my real achievement is this!"

Yang Jia leaned over to take a look and saw the screen filled with various codes. She stared at the screen in thought for a few seconds, and finally coughed helplessly, "My computer skills are limited, can you explain what this is?"

Zhang Zitao's face flushed with excitement, and he lowered his voice with uncontrollable excitement, "I implanted a piece of data into the system!"

A piece of data was implanted in the system?!

Yang Jia was stunned for a moment before realizing what this meant.

The system is constantly self-checking, and if errors or violations are found, they are immediately cleaned up. Therefore, before they enter the data world, they need to take various protective measures.

And now, Zhang Zitao can do this, which undoubtedly means that he has deciphered some of the rules of the system.

In other words, to a certain extent, he can now exert his influence on the system to a limited extent. Of course, the only thing he can do now is to implant meaningless data, which is too obvious and will definitely be discovered.

But this can be said to be a big step forward.

All things are difficult at the beginning. After taking this step, it will naturally be much easier to follow this direction.

Thinking of this, Yang Jia couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Zitao changed a little. After a moment, he said excitedly, "As expected of Zhang Zitao, he always brings surprises!"

In fact, on the road of scientific research, truth, talent, ability, etc. are certainly important, but many times, a little luck is also needed.

And Zhang Zitao is obviously very lucky.

Yang Jia was beginning to suspect that the person favored by the system was not him, but him.

Hearing Yang Jia's praise, Zhang Zitao also smiled, and then continued, "Before, I left a backdoor in another guild system. Because there were several people assisting, even though I asked them not to tell anyone, I couldn't guarantee absolute safety. This one, I took full responsibility and didn't let anyone know."

This matter is of great importance, so of course he has some sense of propriety.

Yang Jia couldn't help but pat his shoulder. "Okay. Since you can produce such results, I certainly can't hold you back. No matter what kind of investment you need, just ask. I won't use it in the short term, but I hope it can be used at a critical moment."

"I understand." Zhang Zitao nodded.

It was not until he left the computer room that Yang Jia came to his senses and realized that his original purpose of coming here had been completely misled by Zhang Zitao.

But she didn't care. Although she still urgently needed to contact Li Bai, the project he was holding was obviously more important at the moment.

She really didn't expect Zhang Zitao to be so troublesome, and she didn't expect him to be so good at hiding things. He really held back and didn't reveal any information. Even she didn't know about it until now.

What a talent!

Inspired by this, Yang Jia then visited all the labs, asking about projects of all sizes. Not to mention, she actually found several promising projects. Of course, they couldn't compare to Zhang Zitao's, nor were they immediately urgent or expected to generate significant returns. But in the long run, these projects would be very beneficial.

Just like that, a day passed.

It was only after Yang Jia left the experimental building and returned to his residence that he heard about the guests.

Xuan Zijie and Bai Shu came together.

It was surprising that they were still running around at this time. Yang Jia felt that the presidents of the major guilds seemed to be constantly running around, leaving the specific matters to the people below them.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate to have lured Qin Yan here. This guy had originally aspired to be a great businessman, but before he knew it, he had become the vice president of the Nirvana Guild, specializing in handling various affairs. Only he knew the feeling.

Yang Jia, who rarely felt guilty, decided to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of the president, and immediately turned around to meet the two guests.

Their purpose was simple. Before the previous raid, Yang Jia had said there would be further opportunities for cooperation, but they had to achieve something first. Now that the raid was over, Xuan Zijie came to collect his debt. Perhaps feeling he couldn't make a strong enough impression alone, he called Bai Shu along as well.

Anyway, we're all in the same boat right now, and it seems like we're collaborating happily, so we can keep it up. So, deepening our connection wouldn't be a bad idea.
