There's something wrong with me

Chapter 258 The Cause and Effect Cleanup Plan
It was noon that day.

In a reality that is semi-virtualized.

Several personnel files marked with an 'S' on their covers were slammed onto the main conference hall facing outwards by a middle-aged man.

"I'd like to ask, what do you... usually do for a living?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man's words were harsh, and his expression was also very unpleasant.

"Just now! Just now! Mr. Zhang specifically came to find me and asked me to go to his office."

Do you want to know what he said to me?

The middle-aged man's expression grew increasingly grim as he spoke, his gloomy face practically dripping with water.

The six special forces team leaders in the hall remained silent, and dared not speak.

However, some information was not kept from them internally.

And then there were those words from the captain.

This made them realize that the reason their captain was angry was because he had been 'scolded' in General Manager Zhang's office.

But in the captain's view, it wasn't exactly a reprimand.

Because Mr. Zhang spoke very calmly and asked me to handle the matter.

Only to a certain extent.

Instead of having my own system identify criminals first, Mr. Zhang gave me direct instructions.

This is a big deal.

It could even be said that without Mr. Zhang's special permission, he might not have been the one to execute this plan.

Instead, the data center's security department will 'investigate' him first.

This was a huge oversight.

Because this criminal was a resident staff member in the Land of Extraordinary Things, and one of the general managers in charge of the Heng Province Superconducting Manufacturing Plant.

Honestly, the captain was furious after seeing this information.

Because of the safety and embezzlement incident more than 20 years ago, which was also related to superconductivity.

Now, it's superconductivity again, and it seems to be related to this issue.

But upon closer examination, it makes sense; superconductivity is currently experiencing a period of unchecked growth.

Superconductivity is needed in all industries.

If problems arise in other industries, the root cause will ultimately point to a certain superconducting production site.

At the same time, the captain felt even more embarrassed and ashamed after thinking about this.

Because not only did Boss Zhang provide him with a list of people to be arrested, but this list also pointed directly to the final 'old monster'.

So what is it used for?
The captain felt his face burning with embarrassment, and seeing that the six squad leaders remained silent, he angrily shouted:
"I'm just asking! What are you all good for?!"

……

'This person in charge...'

At the same time, Zhang Feng also used his spiritual sense to see the scene of the captain disciplining people.

Goodness, everyone inside and outside is asking what others do for a living?
But do they ever think about what they're doing?
Zhang Feng smiled and shook his head, not angry at all, because this captain was just concerned about saving face, but he handled things in an orderly manner.

The reason why the person in charge of superconductivity could not be found cannot be entirely blamed on him, nor can the entire department be blamed.

Because Zhang Feng reads the briefings every day, he knows that the "alignment of the moon and the earth" over the years has led to some job changes in many departments.

Furthermore, the integration of the virtual world and reality is not yet very mature.

The powerful establishment of the Extraordinary Department, which took command of related units such as finance and merit cards, caused some fluctuations in the prices of goods in various regions.

Therefore, it is normal for some people to take advantage of loopholes and use their positions to seek personal gain.

Just like in a normal school, if a student blatantly takes a school basketball out of the school gate, the nearby physical education teacher will definitely ask questions after recognizing the basketball from the school.

But if a colleague who is also a physical education teacher has it, then what's there to ask?

There must be a reason why colleagues use resources.

Although it's unreasonable, that's the reality.

Finally, there are the price differences in different regions, the integration of various units, and the migration of people to connect the moon and Earth.

It's like the school is about to be demolished, and all the teachers are rushing to find a new school and getting familiar with the affairs of the new school.

Then who would care about the ownership of the old basketball team at this former school?

And this is the loophole in the federal system.

Even though the federal government has taken many precautions, many intelligent people still believe there are loopholes.

After all, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to turn all life and rules on a planet into a unified structure.

But nowadays...

Yet, cause and effect accomplished this 'repair'.

If we combine this with the calculation of the world and then apply it to reality, then it will inevitably be that 'no one's good or evil can hide from us'.

But that would be against human nature.

Zhang Feng knew that if he dared to implement this, it would be an explosive sensation.

When everyone can no longer hide their secrets, the good may remain good, while the evil may become even more evil as they no longer conceal their true nature.

Of course, it could also be a case of "repentance without regard to feelings" and a complete change of heart.

For example, a person with evil intentions might keep doing good deeds and pretend to be a good person.

Deep down, he was still evil.

But others can only see that he has done a lot of good deeds, and then play with him, until this wicked person causes a huge incident.

In Zhang Feng's view, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages, so he decided not to extend it to the virtual and real worlds, but to keep it within the data center.

This also indirectly transforms the data center into a 'heavenly court,' where evil is punished and good is promoted, and a certain degree of fairness and justice is implemented.

It is also a link in the chain of the Heavenly Way.

After thinking it over, Zhang Feng felt that this was a good idea.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also saw the captain and others carrying the personnel list heading to the Land of Extraordinary People.

Let's consider them as the 'Heavenly Enforcement Team' of the Immortal Realm for now.

……

More than 200 miles away.

Today, the Land of Extraordinary People truly lives up to its name.

Because the current scene in the city is exactly the same as the scene in the dreamland that Zhang Feng fabricated for the emperor.

Flying cars and buildings fill the sky, along with detectors for life and spiritual energy.

There are also organizations that are willing to spend a lot of money to rent "shops" in the air, where they are showing 3D stereoscopic advertisements.

Besides, this shop doesn't belong to them.

Some flying cars and aircraft can also freely pass through these advertisements.

And it's not just shops that are floating.

Including on the outskirts of the city center, rows of three-in-one low-rise residential buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, seemingly floating in the air.

Beneath them lies a superconducting geomagnetic field, along with numerous Z1 structures and miniature buildings, providing additional virtual computing power for the entire city.

Such a world is no longer like magic; it's more like fantasy.

However, there is a small residential area in the city center.

They are still old buildings that are far ahead of their time, with reinforced concrete structures.

The entire residential area does not have any floating technology and remains situated on the ground.

However, flying is prohibited in the airspace above this area.

This is the same residential area where the owner, Master Wang, and others live.

It is filled with great figures from the extraordinary era.

However, the decision not to renovate the house, nor to follow the mainstream, was not the intention of these important figures, but rather a federal policy to preserve the historical building from before the Great Civilization.

Not only in the Land of Extraordinary Things, but also in other cities and dynasties, there are many.

However, in the Land of the Extraordinary, due to the economic island effect and the special significance of the birthplace of the pioneers, the area is unique.

In addition, there was support from data centers and the gathering of elites from various regions.

This will definitely make this neighborhood seem more special.

This is an unavoidable problem.

Even on the largest virtual forum in the federal government, many people have made fun of this neighborhood.

They say, 'Anyone born into this neighborhood has already reached the end of their extraordinary life.'

According to the saying "first fate, second luck, third feng shui," this is the highest level of 'fate'.

As long as one has this innate destiny, then everything else serves this destiny.

Most people in reality are well-versed in Buddhism and other schools of thought, and understand this concept to some extent.

On Zhang Feng's list of arrestees, the owner of '17 evil value' is Huang Yuanxi.

He is 86 years old this year, but his face looks like that of a 40-year-old middle-aged man.

And it was through his initial extraordinary era that he gradually stepped into the threshold of this extraordinary village courtyard over nearly fifty years.

A month ago, he finally obtained his housing permit, marking the 'final stop' of this life achievement.

Hwang Won-seok was undoubtedly excited.

Especially when he wasn't busy during the day, he would wander around the courtyard, trying to make more connections with some real big shots.

Furthermore, in his opinion, the courtyard was where he had the least status and power.

So, in order to make connections with superiors and those above me in the future, this is definitely something I need to do.

Just like today.

One p.m.

After finishing his meal, Huang Yuanxi used the virtual world to handle his official business online, and then went downstairs happily as usual.

When we arrived at the courtyard.

His eyes darted around like lasers, trying to meet a few people related to his manufacturing industry.

In this way, as long as there is some work-related involvement, there will inevitably be some opening topics, so it won't seem so abrupt.

He looked around but didn't find it.

Because the people who come to this small courtyard from the manufacturing industry are basically true 'workaholics'.

They wish they could eat and poop at their workstations.

His eyes never left the production line or the reports.

Unlike Huang Yuanxi, who knew how to read between the lines and managed his subordinates effectively.

It relies on a kind of management.

Of course, there are also some transactions that others are unaware of.

He kept this matter to himself.

Even now, the desire to get to know some important people is also a way of seeking protection.

Because although he appears to be living a glamorous life, he is actually afraid inside.

I'm afraid that one day the truth will come out.

This pressure caused him to rely on Ocean Group's 'sedative pills' to fall asleep every night.

Thinking of the pills, he also wanted to get to know 'Boss Hai' or 'Old Master Hai' of the Ocean Group.

'I heard that a long, long time ago, before the supernatural, Grandpa Hai had some dealings with the Pioneers...'

Huang Yuanxi thought to himself that Old Master Hai was the kind of legendary figure who had already reached the pinnacle of mortals and was even touching the edge of the Heavenly Court!
As for the Heavenly Court, that is naturally the data center.

Those who can work in the Heavenly Court are kept secret.

Apart from Mr. Liu, whom Huang Yuanxi knew about in the public eye, he didn't know about anyone else and didn't want to know.

If we actually run into people from that side, and something goes wrong...

This is not something a nobody like him can handle.

He even heard that long ago, some officials in charge of superconducting regions were allowed to work on the periphery of the Heavenly Court.

But because of someone, this benefit that allowed them to 'ascend' was canceled.

As for which bastard it was, and what the specific incident was,

He only heard things secondhand, and after hearing them, he would just laugh it off without saying anything more or asking any more questions.

And this time.

Two neighbors came down from the building next door.

One of them was an elderly man, and the other was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

They work in the Extraordinary Department and the Martial Arts Department respectively, and both are in charge of the second-in-command role.

They are now using quantum communication to hand over some related work to their consciousness as they walk.

"Is it... Captain Zhou... Captain Li?" Huang Yuanxi immediately stood at attention when he saw them, lining up to welcome them like elementary school students seeing their teacher.

And they dared not speak.

"Oh, Xiao Huang." Old Captain Zhou recognized Huang Yuanxi and asked, "I vaguely remember him."
"How are things? I remember you've been here for a month now. Are you settling in well?"

"Thanks to you... I'm used to it..." Huang Yuanxi gave a pleasant smile while still being polite.

It gives people the feeling that it's not about fawning, but rather a comfortable and virtuous friendship.

"You'll get used to it. I have other things to do." Captain Zhou nodded with a smile. Although he didn't dislike Huang Yuanxi, he didn't want to talk to him anymore. He had only greeted him out of politeness.

However, the middle-aged Captain Li standing next to him merely glanced at Huang Yuanxi and nodded slightly, which was enough for him to have asked.

Team Leader Li is from the Extraordinary Department, and his liaison and inspection work involves manufacturing, finance, and related fields.

These days, if Captain Lee doesn't say anything when he runs into Hwang Won-seok, and doesn't even say "Hello, I am so-and-so," it's already a great thing.

If he really said a lot, then I'll have to go with him.

Hwang Won-seok was also intimidated by Captain Lee, and when he saw that Captain Lee was silent, he naturally didn't dare to talk to him anymore.

This includes everyone in the entire community.

When Hwang Won-seok realized that the other person didn't want to talk much, he didn't dare to ask any questions.

Newcomers should act like newcomers.

Hwang Won-seok knew that he had just reached this 'end', and he also knew that those who had reached this level before were all seniors with great power.

then.

After seeing the two leave.

Hwang Won-seok naturally followed his gaze, which was the proper etiquette for seeing a senior colleague. There was nothing wrong with the rules, and there was no need to hide anything.

They waited for the two to leave.

Huang Yuanxi was still walking in the residential area when he walked around the pavilion in front of him.

This neighborhood is small, but compared to the extraordinary development of today, it's a tiny step.

But in reality, it's similar to other high-end residential areas, with even a small garden in the middle.

For a normal person to walk from Building 1 to Building 50, following the planned community roads, it would take at least five minutes.

Although Hwang Won-seok's physical condition is 57, he still maintains a normal walking speed.

Sometimes I encounter children playing.

He would also stop and take a look, mainly waiting for their parents to show up so he could identify whose child it was.

If you want to make friends through your children, at least you'll be able to find the right people and avoid any misunderstandings.

Hwang Won-seok is quite knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

He also considered all the other methods he could think of, and even came up with a more detailed plan than his superconducting production plan.

A person who can cater to the preferences of superiors while maintaining control and management downwards has no reason not to succeed.

Of course, he also knew that he had only encountered "benefactors" and had not met any troublemakers.

Otherwise, if someone clicks on it, it'll be gone in a flash.

If nothing goes wrong, then it's all about luck the day after tomorrow.

Otherwise, what good is having ability alone?

There are countless people in the world more capable than him.

But Huang Yuanxi also knew that luck alone was not enough; he also needed to have the corresponding skills to seize this rare opportunity.

Hwang Won-seok has always adhered to this principle.

A combination of skill and luck.

And it was also when he turned around the garden and passed a small pavilion.

He suddenly spotted a legendary figure in the neighborhood: 'Master Wang, the head chef!'

Meanwhile, Master Wang is currently alone in the pavilion, watching virtual tutorials and setting up chess scores, entertaining himself.

'Let me learn a few more tricks, then I'll practice with Old Zhang...' Master Wang was secretly learning new skills, hoping to catch Zhang Feng off guard.

And 100 meters away.

Huang Yuanxi was somewhat bewildered when he saw Master Wang.

Because this is a truly important figure in the military!
Not only the head instructor, but also a close friend of the pioneers!
The value of a single pioneer friend goes without saying.

The idea of ​​touching the Heavenly Court is a joke compared to the Heavenly Emperor's closest friend.

However, when Huang Yuanxi saw that Master Wang seemed to be studying intently, he didn't know how to greet him.

At that moment, he was so anxious that he was practically tearing his hair out.

"Hmm?" Master Wang was playing chess, but when he heard footsteps approaching from outside the passageway, he looked at Huang Yuanxi who was passing by.
"I've noticed you keep glancing at the chessboard. Do you know how to play?"

"Me?" Huang Yuanxi paused for a moment when he heard "President Wang" call him, and didn't react at all.

Because he never expected that this important person would take the initiative to call him.

"If I can, I'll give it a try." Master Wang simply wanted to find someone to practice with and hone his chess skills.

"Okay...okay..." Huang Yuanxi was trained in how to interact with people, so naturally he knew a little about things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Not to mention before one becomes extraordinary, chess is suitable for all ages.

But, playing chess with President Wang?
He really didn't expect that.

I never expected that just moments ago I was thinking about luck, but now I've suddenly been struck by incredible fortune!

'Should I lose... or win...?'

It was also the moment I sat down opposite Master Wang.

Before even touching a chess piece, Hwang Won-seok had already started planning various strategies.

The words "win" and "lose" seem to have only two outcomes, but in his mind they are also divided into things like "pretending to be defeated" and "winning decisively."

And if Master Wang is actually very good at chess, then he will have to rearrange things to make Mr. Wang happy.

It's like when he played ping-pong with a senior player, and even though he tried his best, he still lost.

His senior then said, "Little Huang, you can't receive left-spin balls, you can't receive right-spin balls, you can't receive bottom balls, but you should at least be able to receive top balls, right?"

Then Hwang Won-seok 'moved up'.

Similarly, in Huang Yuanxi's view now, whether he wins or loses in today's chess game with President Wang is not important.

Can I make Mr. Wang happy, and so that if we happen to meet again, he will remember this happiness and invite me to play chess again?

This is the most important thing.

However, the chessboard had just been set up and only a few moves had been made.

Hwang Won-seok was still reveling in his good fortune.

Eight people dressed in plainclothes approached from a distance.

The person in the lead was the captain.

"Go and take Huang..." He said with a gloomy face, and was about to send someone to take Huang Yuanxi down when he saw the person opposite Huang Yuanxi, Master Wang.

Master Wang is in a high position and has access to the data center.

The team leader naturally recognized him and knew that Master Wang had a close relationship with General Manager Zhang and General Manager Liu.

So, in front of Master Wang, they arrested someone who was suspected to be his friend?

The squadron leader's computer crashed.

then.

Hwang Won-seok was still fantasizing about good fortune.

The captain was also very troubled.

'What's going on today!'

The captain suddenly felt that today was the most unpleasant and unlucky day of his life.

First, I was criticized by General Manager Zhang, and now it's General Manager Wang speaking to my face?
He even wondered if God wanted him to die, so why not just make it quick?
"Captain Chu?"

Just then, Master Wang saw the team leader and asked curiously:

"What are you doing here?"

"I..." The captain hesitated, unsure whether he should speak frankly.

The other team members were also looking at each other.

Finally, one of the team members stepped forward, perhaps with the captain's tacit approval of being scolded, and said with a forced smile:

"Reporting to General Manager Wang!"

He deftly produced a chip, and at the same time, an ordinary investigation warrant appeared in the air.
"As instructed by the center, Huang Yuanxi needs to come with us."

His words were censored and cannot be heard by outsiders.

Now all we can hear from are the relevant personnel.

'Federal regulations...' Huang Yuanxi already had something on his mind, and seeing that these people's backgrounds were not normal, he roughly knew what it meant.

In an instant, his previously spirited demeanor vanished, leaving him looking utterly dejected.

Seriously, even a normal person here could see something very strange: Hwang Won-seok, who was originally a bit chubby, suddenly looked deflated and a little shriveled.

But to be precise, he aged suddenly; his once upright figure became hunched over in the next second.

"Arrest warrant?" Master Wang was curious when he saw his new chess friend's appearance and wanted to ask the team leader and the others.

But the captain looked like he dared not speak, and seemed to be forcing himself to speak.

Although Master Wang is usually easygoing, he can distinguish between what is important and what is urgent, and he knows that this matter is important.

This man named Hwang Won-seok has a problem.

It's possible they deliberately approached me.

Master Wang has seen far too many people like this.

"Please ask Captain Chu to ask him to leave."

Master Wang got up from his seat and, under Huang Yuanxi's despairing gaze, put away the chessboard.
"Tell me what you have to say right away. Trust the Federation; they will never let a bad person go unpunished, nor will they wrong an innocent person."

Done.

Master Wang nodded to the group, "I'll leave the matter to you."

"Yes, sir!" The captain and the others saluted.

We also waited for Master Wang to leave.

The captain and the others' expressions suddenly turned cold as they looked at Huang Yuanxi, who was staring blankly into space.

"please."

……

Two minutes later.

Mr. Wang's home.

Master Wang was genuinely curious about what this person was up to, but he didn't make things difficult for the team leader. Instead, he sent a message to Zhang Feng, wanting to ask Master Zhang about it.

(Hey Zhang, come eat! I've learned a new chess move; I doubt you can beat me.)

at the same time.

Inside the data center.

Because there's a virtual building on the intranet, there's no need for a shielding network.

then.

Zhang Feng, who was having nothing to do, also received this message from Master Wang.

Originally, Zhang Feng didn't pay much attention when he saw the words "eating" and "studying a game of chess".

But when he saw Master Wang, whom he had defeated, he actually said that he could beat him?

Zhang Feng couldn't sit still any longer.

(Okay, you wait)

……

"I thought it was something else."

Thirty seconds later.

Mr. Wang's home.

Zhang Feng could tell what was going on just by looking at Master Wang's luck and at the team leader and Huang Yuanxi, who hadn't even left the residential area yet.

"Is it really necessary? He's just an ordinary prisoner, we can just ask him directly."

"You actually tried to seduce me by playing chess?"

Zhang Feng shook his head and looked at Master Wang, who was laughing and scratching his head.

"By the way, the important matter is this arrest, which is related to the newly released 'Cause and Effect Elimination Plan'."

Our data center will act as a go-between, and we will also join forces with your military department and other units to carry out a major crackdown to ensure the highest level of security.

Especially this large-scale federal manhunt and crackdown, unlike before when they could simply flee to other overseas cities.

At this point, Zhang Feng pointed to the sky again.

"Now, even if they run to the moon, it won't work; they'll still be brought back."

“It’s a good thing.” Master Wang nodded, then smiled and said, “At first I thought it was some kind of confidential matter, so I didn’t want to make things difficult for Captain Chu and the others.”

After all, they're all people who get things done.

"So you're going to make things difficult for me? Make me make a special trip?"

Zhang Feng was speechless at his friend's words, but since he was already there, he said to the laughing Master Wang, "Let's invite the owner and the others over, and go fishing after dinner tonight."

“They might not come,” Mr. Wang said bluntly. “They’re all very busy these days, Lao Zhang, you’ll have to wait in line to make an appointment.”

"Making an appointment is easy," Zhang Feng said with a smile. "Just tell them, 'I've also learned a new skill. This time, even if they go fishing properly, they might not be able to catch me.'"

Please relay this message to Dr. Wu and Xiao Li.
