The instigator, Lin Xuan, was leisurely scrolling through posts about the game "King of Glory" on Weibo.
—Damn! What’s going on with Starlight Group? It’s been so long, and they still haven’t fixed the game. I’m waiting so long I might as well wither away.
—I just bought a new skin and wanted to test how it feels, but the game crashed. This game is such a tease.
—Yeah, me too. Gotta admit, that skin looks absolutely stunning.
Seeing these comments from players who had purchased the skins, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.
He had crashed the game just before 2:00 PM. They had announced the skin release for 2:00 PM, so theoretically, these players shouldn’t have been able to buy anything.
Unless they had started selling early.
Lin Xuan called Lei Hui.
Lei Hui was gleefully watching the players’ outcry over the game’s crash.
Right now, it was the players wailing. Soon, it would be Starlight Group’s turn.
Tsk, tsk.
What an entertaining show.
Working for the boss was truly satisfying.
When his phone rang and he saw it was Lin Xuan, Lei Hui immediately answered.
"Boss, what’s up?" Lei Hui asked respectfully, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
If the boss was calling him now, maybe he had another plan to mess with Starlight Group.
Lin Xuan asked, "Do you know the exact time Starlight Group actually released the skins? I need the precise timing."
Lei Hui glanced at his notebook and replied, "It was at 1:59:02 PM."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Just as he had suspected—Starlight Group had released the skins slightly early.
Exactly one second before he crashed their game.
In that brief window, they must have sold hundreds, maybe thousands, or even tens of thousands of skins.
He had sworn that Starlight Group wouldn’t earn a single cent from this game.
A few hundred or thousand yuan was still too much.
Lei Hui couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, why do you ask? Do you have something planned?"
Lin Xuan smirked. "Nothing much. I just feel like paying Starlight Group’s backend another visit."
With that, he hung up.
Lei Hui: "..."
Damn it!
Boss, do you know how frustrating it is to leave someone hanging like that?!
Lei Hui wanted to press for details, but he had more urgent matters to attend to—arranging the launch of their own game, "Pesticide," across major app stores.
Night Garden
Lin Xuan returned from the living room to his study and booted up his computer.
His fingers flew across the keyboard in a rapid clatter.
After his last intrusion, Starlight Group had hired top-tier cybersecurity experts to rebuild their defense systems.
This time, their firewall was even more robust.
But to Lin Xuan, it made no difference. He breezed through their defenses effortlessly.
Deliberately, he triggered Starlight Group’s security alarm.
A sharp "beep-beep-beep" echoed through the tech department.
The staff, already scrambling to fix the game crash, nearly lost it.
At a time like this, someone had to hack their system?!
One technician tried to reassure them, "Don’t panic. We’ve upgraded our firewall—it’s solid now. There’s no way they’ll get through."
He sneered confidently. "Since they dared to attack, I’ll track their identity and location. They’ll be eating prison food soon."
Hearing this, the rest of the team relaxed and returned to fixing the game.
The technician took a leisurely sip of water before calmly opening his computer to deal with the intrusion.
Then his jaw dropped.
The hacker had already breached the fourth firewall.
From the moment the alarm sounded, only two minutes had passed. There were nine layers of defense in total.
Meaning, this person had shattered three firewalls in barely over a minute.
At this speed… could it be the same guy from last time?
The technician’s heart sank.
If it was really him, their department stood no chance.
But maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t.
Clutching at straws, the technician frantically tried to block Lin Xuan’s advance.
This time, Lin Xuan didn’t toy with them. He plowed through their defenses without pause.
Sixth firewall—gone.
Seventh—obliterated.
Eighth—shattered.
Sweat beaded on the technician’s forehead.
"Little Liu, why are you still messing with the hacker? Shouldn’t you be done by now? Come help us!" Little Cheng snapped impatiently.
As Lin Xuan reached the ninth firewall, Little Liu shouted, "Everyone, get over here and stop this guy! He’s too strong—I can’t hold him back!"
"It might be the same person who hacked us last time and wrecked our systems!"
Last time, Lin Xuan had waltzed into their system with impunity, leaving the entire department helpless as they watched his brazen maneuvers.
The memory was burned into their minds.
"What?! It’s him again?!" The entire tech department gaped in horror.
The manager barked, "Hurry! All hands on deck—stop him now!"
This was a critical moment for the game’s relaunch. They couldn’t afford another disaster.
The technicians scrambled to their keyboards, desperately trying to counter Lin Xuan.
But just like before, they were powerless against him.
All they could do was watch as Lin Xuan dismantled all ten of Starlight Group’s firewalls.
"We’re finished," the manager muttered, slumping into his chair, face pale.
His eyes remained glued to the screen, praying the hacker would just leave like last time—without doing any damage.
On their backend, the cursor moved.
Lin Xuan clicked into the game’s administrative panel and began working.
He raised an eyebrow. "These players move fast. In less than a second, they bought twenty thousand yuan worth of skins."
Far more than he’d expected.
With another flick of his mouse, Lin Xuan initiated a mass refund—for every single player.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
