Chapter 246: Old Liu’s Belated Realization (Part 1)

Li Zhi’s childhood friend, named Zhang Quan, was simple and shrewd.

Zhao Qingfeng encouraged him, “Brother Quan, don’t be nervous. They are the ones seeking us, so we need to hold our ground. Listen to me, take a deep breath, then go in and stick to the price. Once the deal is done, you keep three hundred thousand for yourself, and mail the rest back to me. That’s all you need to worry about.”

Taking a deep breath and steeling himself, Zhang Quan stomped his foot, “Okay, I’m not nervous. I’m going in now!”

Zhao Qingfeng gave him a few more instructions, telling him to keep the phone in his pocket without hanging up, and to listen carefully while hailing a cab to the most luxurious shopping mall in the provincial city, Zhuo Zhan Mall.

A few minutes later.

The bustling noise of Starbucks came through the phone.

When Zhang Quan entered, Old Liu and Li Jiahang, who had come from afar, were each holding a cup of iced Americano, waiting.

After exchanging pleasantries.

Li Jiahang asked some professional questions, puzzled, “You’re not Legend Bro! He knows everything, but you don’t seem to know anything. What does this mean, he dares not show his face? He’s not trying to scam us with fake stuff, is he?”

Zhang Quan, prepared, repeated the explanation Zhao Qingfeng had given him, “Navigator, my big brother said, this is just a transaction. Moreover, his identity is special, somewhat related to your previous guesses, so it’s really inconvenient for him to appear. Society is dangerous, and people’s hearts are complex. He still wants to do well in his own field. If you mind, then forget it, I’ll leave right now!”

Old Liu, in a panic, grabbed Zhang Quan just as he was about to stand up, “Brother, don’t go, let us see the source code!”

Zhang Quan shook the encrypted USB drive in his hand, “Want to see it? Where’s the money? Cash on delivery!”

Old Liu brought cash.

A large travel bag filled with over a million yuan.

His entire cash reserve wasn’t enough; he even mortgaged property, truly investing a fortune.

He slightly opened the travel bag, handing it over, “The money is all here; you can check its authenticity. If you’re not reassured, there’s a bank nearby, I can accompany you there for the transfer.”

No need for accompaniment, Zhang Quan carefully checked everything, confirming it was correct.

He also remembered what Zhao Qingfeng had said; the other party was seeking their services, unlikely to play any tricks.

“Okay…”

After counting, a total of 165 stacks, Zhang Quan asked Li Jiahang, “Where’s your computer?”

Li Jiahang had brought a laptop. He took it out from his bag, plugged in the USB drive, and inserted it into the USB port.

The Legend of Mir client was already prepared.

After connecting to Starbucks’ network, Li Jiahang conducted a comprehensive and meticulous check in front of Old Liu.

An hour later, once verification was complete, he turned to Old Liu, “Uncle Liu, the source code is fine, all PK functions are intact, and it’s designed quite ingeniously. Every line of code is like poetry, simple and elegant. I really don’t know who the other party is. But I can responsibly say that his ability probably surpasses my teacher and even professors.”

These words nearly infuriated Old Liu on the spot.

Useless!

Still boosting the morale of others and undermining his own?

Initially, he had lured you here to lead in the cheats development.

But now.

Not only had he failed to produce anything, but he had also spent a great deal of money purchasing someone else’s source code. If it weren’t for the fact that you could still extend and update on the source code, he really wanted to throw a cup of cappuccino in your toad face!

“It’s good that there are no problems. Jiahang, Uncle Liu has invested a lot, and you have a stake in it too. Whether we can make money depends on you!”

Old Liu smiled, but his laughter lacked warmth.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Liu, I’ll start developing as soon as I get back. I guarantee the cheats we produce will be even stronger than their original version. Within a month, I’ll make sure to earn a fortune for you!”

Li Jiahang packed up the USB drive and put away the computer.

But then he seemed to remember something, asking Zhang Quan, “Brother, can you call and ask why Legend Bro only used a little over a hundred lines of code to achieve so much functionality? How did he do it?”

Zhang Quan kept mum, “Still asking? Didn’t I say not to inquire too much? If the deal is done, then I’m leaving! Oh, and one last thing for you, Legend Bro said, ‘I hope your cheats sell well and you reach the pinnacle of your life soon!'”
