Yin Zhu believed her proposed solution was convenient and reasonable. Perhaps due to her high regard for Yin Zhu, Hirano Shan did not refute it. She simply closed her eyes to rest for a while before telling Yin Zhu the answer:
There's no way.
"Huh? It's impossible to create an unsolvable world, right?"
Yin Zhu looked shocked and didn't quite believe Hirano Shan's words. The latter ladylike picked up a strand of hair with two fingers and tucked it behind her ear: "The people in this city have been here since birth, and they all have their own unique numbers. We can't change the system data."
"So, hackers are needed?"
Yin Zhu instantly understood the situation behind Hirano Shan's words and came up with a new way to deal with it.
An old saying goes, "Where there are poisonous snakes, there is always an antidote within ten steps." While this proverb isn't entirely accurate, it's a saying derived from years of experience by the older generation.
Yin Zhu's current situation is like being poisoned by a snake. Since the Chosen Ones cannot leave without a "Good Spirit Officer," there must be a hacker in this apartment who can help them solve their problems. Could it be that there really is a professional hacker among the Chosen Ones on Earth?
Yin Zhu was right about that.
At that time, the chosen ones of the Bear Kingdom, like the chosen ones of the small countries, relied on their own strength and even attempted to win by force in the new instance.
The two had very similar outcomes, encountering an indestructible metal robot.
However, as a great power, the Russian nation is also known for its fierce people and resourceful land. After the previous Chosen One died due to negligence, the new Russian nation quickly welcomed Igor, the second Chosen One in this instance.
All countries will see their national fortune increase once they clear the level, so many people don't really feel the impact of the rewards.
Many things are valued for their scarcity. If something is something that everyone has, people tend to overlook its importance, just like the significance of air to humanity—it can be ignored, but it's not life-threatening.
In reality, most small countries may not realize the significant changes in the benefits that national fortune brings to a nation, but large countries have long since noticed many clues:
Experiments that were previously impossible became much easier for scientists to conduct after the nation's fortunes improved; compared to the previous two instances, there were far fewer instances of civilian riots, whereas there had even been incidents of civilian attacks and assassinations against the chosen ones; international cooperation and exchanges were also becoming increasingly smooth, and everything seemed to be developing in the best possible direction...
However, the "forbidden zone threat" hanging over the heads of all countries is like a sharp and vicious sword, making it difficult for any country to express gratitude for the unspeakable.
If you absolutely had to put it, it would probably be sarcastic: "I really should thank you."
Even if the current chosen one dies, the next successor's talents will be more suitable for the current instance. This is one of the reasons why many countries struggle with whether or not to help the chosen one who enters the instance first.
How do you know if the next chosen one will have the right talents for the current meta?
Although it's highly likely that some players will face weaker challenges after this dungeon ends, on the bright side, at least you survived this dungeon, and if you're lucky, you might even pass a few more levels. It's better than starting against the meta from the beginning.
The topic returned to Igor.
The hackers from Russia have always been famous internationally. In addition, countries with high national fortune would normally select more intelligent citizens. So, after many twists and turns, Russia once again randomly selected young people with hacking careers.
Almost as soon as he heard the name of the instance, Igor had already guessed the situation of this world.
Mythology is not something the Chosen Ones can access at the moment, while Cyber is an element that Igor is very familiar with, having read countless related works and games.
After seeing the "Notice to Tenants of the Poor Apartment," Igor became even more convinced of his hypothesis: this kind of world absolutely needs hackers. Only hackers can dig out and expose many hidden things, allowing ignorant humanity to learn the truth.
This is exactly the same aspiration he had when he first encountered the profession of hacker as a child; it is his original intention.
Igor's only problem now is the lack of tools and time. Given enough resources and time, Igor is confident he can hack into the entire city.
Other countries would find it hard not to feel envious, jealous, and resentful when they see this.
...
"I don't think Sister Sun majored in computer science, right?"
"I remember it was the literature department."
"Alas, scholars are useless! What's the use of studying humanities? It's better to study science."
What did you do wrong by studying humanities?
"Hackers are so lucky in this world, it's like they're going back to their hometown."
"What can we do when other countries can just send hackers whenever they want?"
"Do you think it's too late to have the think tank send Yin Zhu the book 'Hacking in 5 Minutes' now?"
"Even if so much content could be sent from Earth to the world of ghost stories, it's impossible for Yin Zhu to learn it in just five minutes, right?"
"However, I did a search, and there's no such book at all."
"You're such a troublemaker."
"If hacking could be mastered in five minutes, most hackers would be out of a job, right?"
"So how should Yin Zhu break this deadlock?"
"Hmm... I've never seen Yin Zhu do much decent work since I started watching her live streams, so I suspect she might take a pretty girl from Japan to rob a neighboring hacker, force him to add data to her account, and eventually the two of them end up being wanted by the police."
"Compared to that, I think the one upstairs that lets Yin Zhu learn in five minutes seems more reliable."
"That's even more outrageous!"
The comments section offered many unreliable suggestions, and one person actually guessed Yin Zhu's idea: "Let's go and hire a hacker."
Hirano San couldn't help but rub her forehead and sigh, "Is this how you usually complete the ghost story worlds?"
"Is that not allowed?" Yin Zhu looked at her innocently.
“…I suddenly feel that cooperating with you might not be a good choice.” Hirano Sane hesitated for a moment, then stopped herself, and after several repetitions, she finally gave this answer.
"Can you find out who the hacker is in this apartment?" Yin Zhu had completely given up thanks to Hirano San's mind-reading ability—after all, she had such a powerful teammate by her side, so she could just stick to him and follow along, which would save her time and effort in clearing the game.
Hirano Sane looked somewhat helpless, but finally asked in a serious tone, "Do you remember that when I wanted to clear a dungeon, I could only do a perfect clear?"
