[Transfer out 10000 City-State Coins]

At the bank, Chen Bei carefully put away his card, and Song Ming, standing beside him, finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

These city-state coins are more than his monthly salary!

"You're saying that Boss Cao was able to hack into the city's information terminals? He should have been arrested long ago, right?"

Chen Bei didn't rush to let him go. Their purpose in coming to the city this time was to investigate why the Shangcheng District had increased its efforts to arrest Fusu people.

Based on the investigation, we should improve our strength as much as possible.

As we all know, the closer a district is to the upper district, the more information it receives, much of which is firsthand news.

Furthermore, since all nine districts are processed through information technology, if we could get Boss Cao to hack in and find some information... that would be much better than him and Ye Zhixue being here like headless flies.

"I'm not too sure about that either. I only know that he never leaves District D. He must have some kind of trick up his sleeve."

Song Ming shook his head and continued, "Boss Cao is eccentric. Sometimes he won't even ask for money when you ask him for help. It seems to depend entirely on his mood, so I came to give it a try."

"Including today, I've been kneeling for three days now, and he still doesn't plan to see me. I guess there's no hope..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bei felt a headache coming on.

Money is one thing, but going by your feelings is a whole other question. It's like going on a blind date; does the girl want money, looks, or sex? At least you have a goal in mind. Going by your gut feeling...

"Do you also have something you want to ask Boss Cao for? Why don't you two come with me to kneel down tomorrow?"

Upon hearing Song Ming's words, Chen Bei looked at him with a strange expression.

He pointed a finger at himself and asked, "Do I have to kneel too?"

"Yeah! If the three of us kneel together, maybe Boss Cao will come out and let us in!"

"Isn't there a more decent way?"

Ye Zhixue, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up. This method was a bit too unique, and most importantly, this kind of cooperation would put her at a disadvantage.

Songming scratched his head and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "There is another rule, but..."

"But what?"

"But in the more than ten years since I've known Boss Cao, I've never heard of anyone succeeding in this field. I advise you not to waste your resources."

Songming sighed and continued, "This rule was set by Boss Cao himself. You can meet him for 5 minutes by spending 100 million city-state coins."

"You have five minutes to talk to him or make your request. Whether he takes action or not is up to him."

In short, it means spending 100 million city-state coins for a chance to meet.

That's incredibly presumptuous.

Chen Bei silently complained to himself. He could afford 100 million city-state coins, but in the end, it all depended on the other person's mood.

Unless you have a way to make the other party definitely agree, then these 100 million city-state coins will just be a waste of money.

Looking at Ye Zhixue beside him, he saw that she was also frowning and hesitant.

"That's all I know. You can find the rest of the information online. I need to buy some baby formula, so I'll take my leave now." Song Ming said, then stopped at the bank entrance and looked at the two of them. "If you want to kneel with me, see you at seven tomorrow morning!"

Chen Bei and his companion were speechless; kneeling was out of the question.

"Let's go, let's connect to the local network and check some information first. If that doesn't work, we can go back and ask Qian Feng. Their caravan makes so many trips every year, maybe they can find out something."

The two hit it off immediately and spent the rest of the evening engrossed in searching for information about Boss Cao and the Fukushima people at the hotel.

The two compared their findings and compiled a comprehensive report.

There isn't much information about Boss Cao online; most of it is what Songming told them, and the point of contention is the 100 million city-state coins.

Although technology has advanced, netizens' intelligence and quality remain unchanged.

Chen Bei paid particular attention to several posts about how Boss Cao had helped him.

The first post was about how Boss Cao helped him deal with his cyber soul. This person's situation was the same as Song Ming's. Boss Cao not only restored his cyber soul to its original state, but also saved him from paying monthly fees. He even got back all the money he had paid in previous years!

Most importantly, neither the Cyber ​​Information Bureau nor the local police station came to arrest him!

It is a completely efficient, safe, and reliable service.

No wonder Songming knelt and kowtowed so earnestly, yet still begged Boss Cao for help.

The second post also presented the same situation, but this Mr. Cao's solution was completely different.

He paid the penalty for breach of contract for the poster and then bought the Cyber ​​Soul from the poster for a high price of 100 million city-state coins.

Although it's unclear whether he used hacking techniques to clear the penalty, the 100 million city-state coins were indeed given.

"They're both cybernetic souls, so why was the second one bought?"

"The second cybernetic soul is the poster's mother-in-law... This Boss Cao doesn't seem to have any unusual fetishes, does he?"

Chen Bei pondered, completely unaware that this cyber soul was the poster's mother-in-law; if he investigated further, he would probably have to switch platforms.

The third post was very short. The poster asked Boss Cao to attack the information brain terminal of the 9th district. The attack was successful, and the Cyber ​​Information Bureau made emergency repairs.

To understand this post, Chen Bei even dug out information about the nine districts.

If we consider the nine districts as a country, the information brain terminal is the data bureau of this country, and the cyber information bureau is equivalent to the network defense department.

This Mr. Cao single-handedly broke through the firewall of the information brain terminal, causing a two-hour-long information paralysis across the entire city.

Looking at the compiled information, Ye Zhixue couldn't help but rub her temples. "This Boss Cao's abilities are beyond my imagination."

"This is beyond imagination," Chen Bei stared at the information in front of him. "They caused such a big incident that the police station mobilized a large number of people to arrest them, but they retreated before they even entered the D area."

"Even if he is the son of the lord of District 9, shouldn't he be taken back for a re-education?"

The two looked at each other and fell completely silent.

They had thought of no fewer than dozens of ways to meet with Boss Cao that afternoon, both respectable and unrespectable.

After reading this post, all violent methods were immediately rejected.

If we really do that, it's hard to say who will resort to violence against whom.

"What should we do? Should we try spending 100 million?"

Chen Bei glanced at her and said, "Half for each of us?"

"Ahem, I'm just a high school student, where would I get money? In the end, all my savings were spent on weapons."

"Then what are you talking about?" Chen Bei said irritably. "Let's go, we'll ask Qian Feng during dinner."

The two didn't go out again. Chen Bei sat down next to Qian Feng and the others when they came back from packing up their stall and had dinner.

"Brother Qian, do you know that Boss Cao from District D of the 9th District?"

"You mean Cao Chengxiu? I did deal with him last year; he ordered a state-of-the-art prosthetic limb from me."

"Tsk tsk, he's got money to burn. That prosthetic limb cost 1000 million!"
