I am weak and friendly

Chapter 326 Aren't you afraid that Tang will unleash his dogs on you?

Tang Yiping's wheelchair rolled automatically into the 41st floor.

Tang Yiping is currently sitting in the wheelchair that Luo Han, the prosthetic body provider, brought over last night. This wheelchair is the most comfortable one Tang Yiping has ever used.

However, it was also the largest wheelchair Tang Yiping had ever used.

Tang Yiping had ridden in an electric wheelchair before, but his previous electric wheelchair was the lowest-end kind, unremarkable and ugly, which was completely outclassed by the sports wheelchair he later rode.

But this wheelchair is quite futuristic; it's heavy, stable, and... fast.

Sitting in this wheelchair, Tang Yiping felt like he was Professor X without his bald head, having entered his own mutant academy.

Is this what you call a wheelchair?
This is called a moving throne!

Considering his profession, going bald is just around the corner, and maybe he'll be as cool as Professor X someday.

Fortunately, I only have 30 days to live, so I won't end up bald.

Tang Yiping immediately attracted everyone's attention when he appeared in such a cool and stylish wheelchair, and many people turned their heads to look at him.

Tang Yiping froze at the doorway. Wait, what's going on? Why is everyone looking at me?

Am I currently using the "harmless" setting?

But after looking at Tang Yiping, everyone turned their heads away, as if his presence there was perfectly normal.

Whew, that scared me to death! I thought my "harmless weakling" ability had failed.

Yes, now it's "the weak are harmless," not "the weak hide."

In the past, people would ignore me and turn a blind eye to me, but now it's different.

You have to get used to it! You have to get used to it!
Tang Yiping arrived at the center of the hall and found that his preferred spot had been taken by several people.

These people were working hard, their hands clapping away on the keyboard. Looking around, everyone seemed busy and tense.

"Hey bro, what happened?" Tang Yiping patted the man who had taken his spot and asked.

"Ah..." Qian Haoran raised his head blankly, glanced at Tang Yiping, and casually replied, "Last night we were attacked by the fake world on the other side, and we are currently reviewing the situation."

"A cyberattack from the other world?" Tang Yiping's eyes widened immediately; this was something new!
"What was the final result? Did you manage to stop them? Who did they attack? Why did they attack you?"

"Of course we held them off!" Qian Haoran proudly raised his head, but he immediately deflated: "However, we didn't know who the enemy was, and their attacks were extremely fierce, like mercury pouring down. If I hadn't had a secret weapon, we probably would have been overrun..."

"Wow, you're amazing, bro!" Tang Yiping gave Qian Haoran a thumbs up.

"So what are you reviewing now?"

"Shh, calling it a debriefing is really just about seeing how much damage was done, how many systems were destroyed, and how much information might have been leaked..." Qian Haoran whispered. "It looks terrible right now."

"Give me the permissions so I can take a look?" Tang Yiping immediately became interested.

He had never actually seen what the other side looked like after an attack.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." It's always good to know more about this.

"Ah, this..." Qian Haoran was a little embarrassed. Could he just grant someone a certain level of access?

“I’m a student,” Tang Yiping said.

—[Showing weakness] succeeded, [the weak are harmless] bonus *5
“Okay then…” Qian Haoran said, “I’ll register an account for you… Luckily I have administrator privileges.”

Qian Haoran, who had just been granted the highest level of authority, said this last night.

"I need to find a place to use the computer now..." Tang Yiping was just about to find a table when he heard his wheelchair say:

"Upon receiving the instruction, immediately commence programming mode."

Tang Yiping: "???"

Then he noticed that his wheelchair made a few "click-clack-clack" sounds as it transformed, and a screen rose up from the side, extending in front of Tang Yiping. Then the armrests of the wheelchair opened, and two separate keyboards with built-in trackballs extended out from them, directly into Tang Yiping's palms, slightly lifting his hands.

Tang Yiping: "???"

Wait, what's going on? I do have SMA, but I'm not Stephen Hawking!

What's going on with this Hawking model?!
Wait, I love this mode!
"Wow, that's cool, bro!" Several programmers nearby stared wide-eyed as Tang Yiping's wheelchair transformed.

—【Feigning weakness】does not work, 【The weak are harmless】adds 3 times.
Holy crap, he broke through two layers of "The Weak Are Harmless"?
It went directly from *5 to *3?
This wheelchair transformation is incredibly powerful for programmers. Does every programmer dream of being Stephen Hawking?

Tang Yiping didn't dare to be negligent and quickly struck a pose resembling Stephen Hawking with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

—[Showing weakness] succeeded, [the weak are harmless] bonus *4
That was close; I almost messed up.

It's just that Hawking's crooked mouth and slanted eyes pose that's a bit hard on his face.

The network here is all physically connected. Qian Haoran personally helped Tang Yiping plug in a network cable under the handrail. Tang Yiping leaned back and with a slight movement of his hands, he was already connected to the coordination office's intranet.

However, after browsing the intranet for a while, he logged out.

Ugh! What am I looking at? I don't understand anything!

Tang Yiping was a complete novice when it came to cybersecurity; even if he wanted to look into it, he couldn't understand it.

After pretending to look around inside for a while, Tang Yiping asked Qian Haoran, "Brother, don't you guys have any kind of report or anything?"

"As for the report, I see that Group Three just sent it to Commander Lin."

Understood, I'll go find your boss now.

Tang Yiping unplugged the internet cable and maneuvered his wheelchair toward the indoor elevator. Qian Haoran scratched his head, looked at Tang Yiping's back, and asked the others around him, "Who was that again? He seems... very familiar."

"A student."

"Oh!" Qian Haoran stopped thinking and continued working. In the innermost office of the duplex, Lin Po-xiao was frowning as he looked at a document.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

"Who?" Lin Po-xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

His subordinates all knew his rule: they had to announce their names before knocking on the door.

“Ah, it’s me,” came the voice from outside the door.

You? Who are you?
Who is so ignorant of the rules?
Then the door was pushed open a crack, and a head peeked in: "May I come in?"

Lin Po-xiao: "???"

"Who are you?" How can this child be so ill-mannered? But this face looks familiar, who is it?

"I'm just a student," the person at the door said.

Oh, so you're a student.

No wonder they don't know the rules.

Lin Po-xiao frowned, clearly annoyed, but still managed to utter, "Come in."

He's just a student; what bad intentions could a student possibly have?

"Next time, state your name before entering." Lin Po-xiao lowered his head again.

"I'd like to see the report on the previous invasion of the other world. Is the report here?" Tang Yiping asked.

Lin Po-xiao frowned. He wanted to say something, but then he remembered that the other person was a student, so he handed over a report that he was reading.

"Can you understand it?" he asked. "Shall I explain it to you?"

Tang Yiping really couldn't understand it. He had no idea what the various databases mentioned in the report were for.

Lin Po-xiao was actually willing to explain it to him, and he thought that Lin Po-xiao was actually a pretty good person.

As Lin Po-xiao was explaining yesterday's intrusion report to Tang Yi-ping, there was another knock on the door.

"Commander Lin, this is Wei Song."

"Please come in!" Lin Po-xiao said in a deep voice.

When Wei Song came in, he immediately saw Tang Yiping sitting next to Lin Po Xiao, and at that moment, he was filled with question marks.

What's Tang doing here?
Ah, it's quite normal to see Tang here, isn't it?

Tang is perfectly normal wherever she is.

Wei Song said to Lin Po-xiao, "Commander Lin, our [Touchpoint Interconnect] servers have been fully restored."

"This is great! Can the negative entropy monitoring algorithm be relaunched?" Lin Po-xiao stood up excitedly, then paced back and forth, saying, "Great! Now we can finally end this situation where we were completely in the dark. I really didn't know how bad things were. I hope it's not too late..."

Seeing Wei Song's serious expression, he frowned and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Yes, although our servers have been fully restored, we are unable to control the data transmission from all the vending machines..."

"I think Tang's OIFU or Robo-FU has completely taken control of those vending machines, but when I looked at the OIFU code, I found that it doesn't have that function..."

"Could it be that the other world is controlling these vending machines?"

"The way the vending machine is being controlled is a bit strange, it doesn't seem like the style of the other side. I'm still inclined to think it's controlled by Tang, so, Tang..."

Wei Song looked at Tang Yiping, about to speak to him and ask him how he controlled these vending machines.

Tang Yiping quickly waved his hands repeatedly.

Don't expose me!
He discovered the skill "The Weak Are Harmless," which is quite powerful, but not absolute.

For example, it seems not very useful to people who already feel harmless and have a good relationship with them?
"Tang? That Tang Yiping? Does he have such abilities?" Lin Po-xiao frowned. "According to the report I received, he is just an ordinary student, and his programming skills are only slightly better than the average person."

Wei Song: "???"

No, who wrote your report?

Who gave you the courage to speak so highly of someone who pulled you back with just his code?

That makes sense, though, as a program cannot know anything outside its own "sandbox".

You were pulled back into a sandbox called "Tang Tongxue," so it's normal that you don't understand Tang Tongxue.

But... isn't Tang right here?

Aren't you afraid that Tang will unleash his dogs on you if you criticize him like that to his face?

And you didn't know this was Tang?

He was a little puzzled.

“It seems we need to find this Tang student and take back his authority,” Lin Po-xiao said, turning to Tang Yi-ping.

"Mhm!" Tang Yiping nodded.

Wei Song: "??????????"

Wei Song was utterly puzzled and scratched his head vigorously.

M's bald head, with strands of hair falling loosely.
