Chapter 241 Cryptocurrency Expert
Seeing Hu Jiayao's reaction, Wen Nan was a little confused for a moment.
If it's unlocked, it's unlocked. If it's not unlocked, it's not unlocked. What's there to be hesitant about? Although Hu Jiayao felt that this was a difficult question to answer, he was not a shy person after all.
With a raise of his hand, Hu Jiayao directly called out a page of information from his system.
With two clicks, it was sent directly to Wen Nan's system through the short-range data transmission system.
In front of Wen Nan, a floating panel that only he could see immediately appeared -
【Name:**】
【identity:**】
【introduce:**】
[Faction: To be unlocked]
Seeing this, Wen Nan immediately understood that the murderer's identity information had been hidden.
How did he do this? Did he use some special props? Is there such a prop? Why didn't he see it in the system mall before? However, even if it was hidden, it just failed to unlock. With Hu Jiayao's personality, he should have said it directly in anger. Why is there any need to hesitate? "The other party's identity, any other questions?" Wen Nan turned his head and looked at Hu Jiayao.
Hu Jiayao rubbed the stubble on the back of his head. "The identity card in the system is useless, but... President, I think I seem to recognize the other person."
Wen Nan looked into the other person's eyes seriously, "What do you mean?"
Hu Jiayao straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and after making sufficient mental preparations, he blurted out what he had been holding back in his heart:
"I'm a rough person, not as careful as Gu Jinxing. If you ask me to recognize someone directly, I definitely won't be able to do it. Just like when you suddenly came in front of me just now, I didn't recognize you at first glance.
"But I am very sensitive to people's kung fu, especially some people who have their own habitual little movements. I can recognize that kind of situation at a glance.
"At noon in the cafeteria, I fought with that guy. He was very cautious, covering his face tightly. Not only did he wear a hood, but he also wore a hood underneath. However, when he fought back, I could see the small movements of his wrists clearly.
"I saw that little trick in the previous copy, in front of the Irene Building. That person is an old acquaintance."
Hearing this, Wen Nan was startled, and a vague guess already came to his mind.
Sure enough, I heard Hu Jiayao say the name in a deep voice:
"Yang Mingzhong, it's him, nine times out of ten, there's no doubt about it."
Wen Nan fell silent for a moment.
Hu Jiayao gritted his teeth and said, "We are all from the same guild, so we are all brothers. Logically, we shouldn't fight to the death. However, in this instance, we are loyal subjects and he is an assassin...
"President, if you give me the order, I will not hold back and will fight to the death next time we meet."
Wen Nan did not respond to the other party's words. After a moment, he said, "Although he took action, he may not be an assassin."
Hu Jiayao didn't understand. "He killed someone. When the woman was taken away, I was close and saw it most clearly. She definitely didn't survive. Who else could be the assassin who could kill her like that?"
Wen Nan recalled what happened at the scene before. He approached the two people, activated his [Mind Reading] skill, and heard the victim's inner voice.
It was a sound similar to that of a loom, squeaking.
That strange sound was definitely not the voice of the heart, but it was not the first time Wen Nan heard such a sound.
He had heard similar sounds from his junior sister in the copy in the office and when he was at her home.
That is the sound made by skills or props such as soul thread when controlling the character.
Wen Nan told Hu Jiayao the information he had obtained directly.
Hu Jiayao was stunned for a long time, and then he recalled what happened in the cafeteria at noon, and then said: "President, what you mean is that Yang Mingzhong took action because he recognized that the other party was in a state of being controlled and was not a normal player or character?"
Thinking about it this way, Yang Mingzhong’s behavior may not be considered “murder”. After all, the person he stabbed with a knife was probably just a soulless doll.
Hu Jiayao's expression of "heartache and grief" and "destroying one's own family for the greater good" disappeared at this moment, and he began to speak for his fellow members: "So, Yang Mingzhong actually has his own reasons? On the surface, he looks like an assassin who kills people right from the start, but in fact, he may just have discovered the existence of the soul thread, so he wants to follow the clues and find the mastermind behind it?"
Wen Nan did not comment on this statement.
The person Yang Mingzhong killed may not be a "person", but his act of "killing" is real.
Even if the person on the other side is a character controlled by soul threads, and even if you want to follow the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes, is it really necessary to "stab" the person to death directly?
Of course, if it were Yu Shujun who was in charge of this matter, he would really stab the other person to death with one sword. That’s how the junior sister fell in front of Wen Nan before.
But, on the one hand, Yu Shujun is just that kind of person. When he is unhappy, he will just take action without any nonsense.
In addition, when Yu Shujun was with Wen Nan, he was always outside the copy and was not bound by the copy tasks.
Besides, with Yu Shujun's strength, he does have the capital to "fight if he doesn't accept it". After all, as a gold rank, he is not afraid of primary and intermediate copies.
But Yang Mingzhong's situation is different. He is a player who deleted his account and started over. He was assigned to this copy by the system and was bound by his identity, faction, and mission. With his current strength, such action will definitely do more harm than good.
Moreover, given Yang Mingzhong's cautious character, he shouldn't do such a thing.
There must be something else behind this...
But Wen Nan did not ultimately discuss these thoughts with Hu Jiayao in detail.
"I guess I can only figure this out when I meet Yang Mingzhong again in the future."
Hu Jiayao nodded vigorously. He also felt that instead of thinking about it here and wasting his limited brain cells, it would be better to scan more pictures and find that big brother as soon as possible and ask him face to face.
Wen Nan quickly moved on to the next topic. He sent the information about Hu Jiayao's identity that he had unlocked earlier to the other party through the system.
This was obviously the first time Hu Jiayao had seen the system's description of himself. After carefully reading it from beginning to end, he rubbed his chin, frowned his eyebrows, and repeated with a look of disapproval:
"My behavior is a bit reckless? My temper is a bit bad? Why is this system introduction so nonsense? Is this my personality?"
Wen Nan smiled but said nothing, and asked, "Did you get my introduction information?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. I'll send it to you right away."
An introduction page soon appeared in front of Wen Nan.
[Name: Ye Jiu (Xiao Jiu)]
[Identity: A charming junior majoring in biology at the School of Life Sciences at T University]
[Introduction: Ye Jiu's academic performance is not outstanding, but his hobbies are very wide-ranging - he has extensive experience in cryptocurrency trading, first-class fish farming skills, superb horse riding skills, and is also very good at driving.
He is a master of time management and owns a large fish pond. The fish in the pond are of various kinds, fat and juicy. When his classmates and friends see him, they are all envious and praise him highly.
The reason why he has developed so many hobbies and managed them so well is that he has a quality that has always been envied by all the teachers and students in the school - he is so charming that it is difficult for teachers and students who meet him not to be interested in him, and even more difficult to refuse his requests.
As a doctoral student in the same college as him, you didn’t have much interaction with him, but you felt his specialness the first time you saw him...】
【Faction: To be unlocked.】
Wen Nan looked at his introduction page and was silent for a moment.
This introduction cannot be said to be nonsense. It can only be said to be correct, pertinent and realistic.
After putting away the introduction page and glancing at the time, Wen Nan walked out. "It's almost time to get off work. I need to go to Professor Wang's laboratory as soon as possible."
Hu Jiayao hurriedly followed, "Go out and turn left. It's the second room at the end of the corridor."
Wen Nan paused, turned around and asked, "What did you talk about with Professor Wang when you went in just now?"
Hu Jiayao scratched the back of his head. "We didn't talk about anything. Professor Wang was so mysterious. He smiled at me when I first entered. He sat far away the whole time. I didn't even have a chance to get close to him. From beginning to end, it was Wu Qing who was chatting with me. The content was also very meaningless. He talked about things like being brave and righteous is a good character, and thanking me for bringing honor to the laboratory. I was drowsy after listening to him. If I hadn't thought about finding a refresh point...
"Oh, by the way, President, have you found your refresh point? I just found a suitable position just when the countdown was about to end, just--"
"—No! Stop it!"
Just when Hu Jiayao was talking about a lot of things like pouring out beans, and was about to reveal the location of his exclusive refresh point, Wen Nan hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted him.
In fact, it is easy to figure out that Hu Jiayao's refresh point must be in Professor Wang's laboratory. After all, he never left there the whole time.
However, Wen Nan definitely doesn't want to know where the opponent's refresh point is.
Knowing this information did not benefit Wen Nan in any way, but instead added some burdens—
If there are other players or characters in this instance who have mind-reading skills like Wen Nan, or items like truth serum, or equipment with hypnotic effects, then if Wen Nan is tricked, there is a risk of exposing two [Loyal] cards at the same time.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't tell me this kind of information."
After being reminded by Wen Nan, Hu Jiayao realized the problem and hurriedly stopped talking.
The two came out of the men's restroom one after the other and went their separate ways like two strangers.
Wen Nan walked to the door of the laboratory with a sign that read [Wang Yajun] and knocked gently.
A familiar female voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
Wen Nan pushed the door open and saw Wu Qing sitting in front of the laboratory table near the door. He was still wearing the white shirt and knee-length skirt that he had worn in class before, but he was wearing a white coat on the outside.
Seeing Wen Nan coming in, she stood up, smiled and led Wen Nan through one laboratory table after another to the innermost office.
Without knocking, she opened the door directly, "Teacher Wang, Ye Jiu is here."
The space inside the office is not big. There is a row of sofas and coffee tables on the outside, and an office desk on the inside with an old and very heavy desktop computer on it. Sitting behind the desk is an old man with a big belly.
The old man looked to be in his late sixties, with grey hair and a bald head, which was supported by sparse bangs combed stubbornly on both sides.
This is obviously the Professor Wang that Wu Qing mentioned.
Professor Wang is very fat. He looks short, but he weighs nearly 300 kilograms. When he sits in the chair, his belly bulges like a hill, higher than the table in front of him. His butt fills the entire round seat cushion, and fat is squeezed out from both sides of the armrests.
Seeing Wen Nan coming in, Professor Wang just turned his body slightly, and the chair he was sitting on immediately made a creaking sound as if it could not bear the weight.
He had no intention of getting up. He sat where he was and sparingly uttered two words: "Well, sit down."
After he finished speaking, he looked back at the computer screen in front of him without even glancing at Wen Nan.
Wu Qing turned around, smiled at Wen Nan, led him to sit on the sofa next to him, and asked, "Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Black tea?"
"Hot water is enough, thank you." Wen Nan sat down on the sofa, near the inside.
Wu Qing went to the water dispenser nearby and poured a cup of hot water for Wen Nan to bring over, "Be careful, it's hot."
Wen Nan hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hands, and carefully took the cup of water, his fingertips lightly touching the other person's fingertips.

[Name: Wu Qing (Qingqing)]
[Occupation: Substitute teacher of biochemistry course in the School of Life Sciences]
[Introduction: Although Wu Qing is only a fourth-year doctoral student in Professor Wang Yajun's laboratory, she has been substituting for the professor for two years when Professor Wang Yajun was in poor health. She is a very responsible teaching assistant.
She treats her students like her own children and adheres to the principle of "students' performance is above all else" during her teaching process. As a result, in the two years that she has been teaching, the biochemistry course has received many praises from the director of teaching and research.
This made Wu Qing pay more attention to each of her students, and you, as the student with the biggest problems in this class she taught, gave her a headache.
Now that the professional courses are coming to an end, given your current situation, it may be difficult for you to pass the final assessment. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask Professor Wang to call you to the laboratory for a long talk...】
【Faction: To be unlocked.】
Wen Nan sat back on the sofa, holding the water cup, and carefully read the introduction text. He always felt that there was something wrong...
While he was thinking, Wu Qing on the opposite side had already put on his glasses, took out his score sheet, spread it out, placed it in front of Wen Nan, and pointed to the column with [Ye Jiu].
"Look at yourself. Your attendance rate in biochemistry class is not even 50%. I'm afraid most of them were signed by your classmates, right? " "The midterm exam is an open-book exam, and all the questions are easy to get points. Other students scored above 90 points, but you were the only one who just passed."
"With your grades, how many points can you get in the closed-book exam at the end of the semester? At this rate, you won't be able to pass this course and will have to retake it next semester. Do you understand that?"
Wu Qing was under tremendous pressure. She had taught two classes of students before. According to her previous experience, after such a scolding, the students on the other side would surely lower their heads in shame and would be unable to speak for a long time.
But the boy opposite him looked up and said seriously: "Teacher Wu, you are right, this is not a solution.
"I want to improve so badly. Can you give me private lessons? I want to learn from you."
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
She always felt that the word "study" from the other person's mouth was not the same as her understanding of "study"...
But since the other party had already taken the initiative to ask, she couldn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, she turned her head and looked at the professor behind the desk for help, "Teacher Wang?"
Professor Wang nodded, and the sparse hair on his head trembled, and he responded through his nose: "Hmm."
Wu Qing seemed relieved. "Student Ye, it's great that you think so. I'll check the schedule for the rest of the class and email you the time for the individual make-up class as soon as possible. Remember to keep an eye on your mailbox."
Wen Nan nodded vigorously, like a studious student, "I look forward to meeting Teacher Wu alone next time."
Wu Qing raised his hand and made a gesture to see the guest off. "If there is nothing else, classmate Ye, I will take you out."
Wen Nan nodded in response, walked around the other side of the sofa, and seemingly inadvertently tripped, spilling a cup of hot water on the man behind the desk.
"I'm sorry! Professor Wang, I didn't mean it. I'll help you clean it up."
Wen Nan said this with a panicked look on his face. He reached across the desk and raised his hand to wipe the other person's cuff.
Noticing Wen Nan's actions, Wu Qing, who had already walked to the office door, suddenly turned cold and rushed to Wen Nan like a flash of lightning, grabbing his arm and trying to stop him from taking any further action.
At the same time, the fat man sitting behind the table, seeing Wen Nan reaching out his hand, immediately retracted his hand with great resistance, refusing Wen Nan's touch.
However, Wen Nan's movements were still a step faster. As Professor Wang was retracting his hand, the fat and old back of his hand was inevitably touched by Wen Nan's fingertips.
A system prompt sounded in my mind.
