Chapter 6

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Huang Xuan was momentarily stunned, while Zhang Xinyi, satisfied, tidied her hair and smiled at Huang Qunsheng, saying: "Darling, let's go eat." After saying this, Huang Qunsheng cast a sympathetic glance at Huang Xuan and followed her, only to hear a distant voice say: "Young pup."

Lorraine spoke quickly, and Huang Xuan shrugged his shoulders; he was indifferent to what was best. At this moment, during the guild activity, it was a tense time for K Illidan. He could only manage a brief acknowledgment before rejoining the ranks of the tanks, but then he heard a loud crack, and the power went out

Mother Huang fixed her gaze on Huang Xuan with a look that could pierce through her subordinates, and he, unwilling to be outdone, responded with an innocent expression. Huang Qunsheng cleared his throat and, acting as a mediator, said: "Well, why don't we have a meal first? We are all hungry. We can talk after we eat."

Of course, you should replenish your energy now; otherwise, it will be quite troublesome when you want to set off.

Huang Xuan let out a weak sound, opened the file, only to find two programs, and the explanatory document was filled with dense English text. Huang Xuan widened his eyes and could only understand "am," "is," and "are." However, he did not want to show any weakness in front of Lorrain, so he pretended to understand and said, "I got it, it should be tomorrow, I will go rent a generator for you tomorrow." In any case, according to his plan, the electricity bill wouldn't cost much, and he had no intention of using Lorrain's money. Instead, he could take the opportunity to find someone to take a look at what these things were.

Huang Xuan let out a sigh; he was truly afraid that Lorin would send him to a desolate place again. The day he spent in the P112 dimension was undoubtedly the most torturous day of his life. Not only did he endure hunger, but he also had no place to stay, compounded by constant worry and fear. He was relatively satisfied with his current life, although it was occasionally a bit dull. However, he did not want to overly trouble Lorin. At this moment, seeing that Lorin had no intention of probing further, he quietly closed the computer, darted to the bedside table, and took out all the cash he had left inside. As he counted the money, he thought about his mother's Sifang Group, which was involved in the generator business. A 30KW generator costs about 10,000 yuan, while a 500KW one would be over 400,000 yuan. But that was the selling price; if it were to be rented for a few days for Lorin's use, the more than 10,000 yuan he had on hand should be sufficient.

In order to foster friendly relations in the future and to provide some compensation for his fragile spirit, Huang Xuan deliberated for a long time and recalled that his classmate Liu Peng had just purchased a SunBlade X8450 for personal use. It was said to be a four-way, four-core blade server, costing only about 50,000 USD. Thus, he spoke up: "Approximately 500,000 should be enough for the *illustration* book."

C drive, A file

I understand. Lorrain responded briefly and then fell silent. Huang Xuan called out "Hey, hey" a couple of times but received no reply. However, he did not realize how much energy Lorrain actually needed or what kind of energy it was...

Huang Xuan had long since grown accustomed to Lorin's sudden appearances and no longer paid him any mind. He returned to his room to play World of Warcraft. In the evening, as the wind blew, Lorin's voice echoed once more, saying: "The items have been placed on your computer. The information for P136T02015 consists of two copies. If you sell them, you will have sufficient funds. It is best to fulfill your commitment within thirty days."

... ...

Oh... Huang Xuan borrowed the concept of calculation, and his mind began to whirl like a wheel. Although he was still a high school student, he had heard and seen quite a bit of the business acumen of his elders

The Huang family is a large clan, much like all families with numerous members. Although there is a natural closeness due to blood ties, there is also no shortage of competition among them in daily life. From the time he started school, Huang Xuan had very few opportunities to be the subject of comparison, and most of the rare instances were largely due to his mother's assistance. He originally thought that the millions on the card could silence certain individuals, but reality proved to be harsh.

You already know of the base's existence, and the safety of the base is the top priority. Lorraine's responses are always simple and effective

Holding a seed of the viburnum, Huang Xuan sat quietly on the lounge chair in the pavilion. At that moment, Lorraine's voice suddenly appeared beside him: "Mr. Huang Xuan, when do you plan to set off again?"

"No rush." Mother Huang snorted and said, "Son, do you think that putting the money into your account means everything is fine?"

If you don't hurry up and fulfill your promise, you won't see them again. Lorrain replied more bluntly, while Huang Xuan swallowed hard, shrank back, and picked up the mouse, saying: Where did you put it in the disk?

"Alright." Lorraine replied tersely.

"According to the rules, you are not allowed to take it," Huang Xuan said softly

Huang Xuan let out a hum, recalling the frozen bank card by his mother, and said: "It's easy to help you replenish your energy, but I have no money"

What others cannot achieve, and what others do not possess, is where the benefit lies. As for Lorraine, at least up to this point, it is an existence known only to oneself.

It seems that this is indeed the true intention of Mr. Lorraine. At this moment, Huang Xuan is still immersed in the gloom of having failed in the "N-th battle against his mother" and reluctantly says, "Actually, with your capabilities, you could easily access the *map* and *book* from the city's power grid, so why make it so complicated"

Huang Mu chuckled lightly and said, "According to the rules, we still have the obligation to supervise. This sum of money can be kept in the account, but it must not be touched"

Huang Xuan has had such an account since childhood, and of course, his father, Huang Qunsheng, has as well. Upon seeing Huang Xuan take out the "family heirloom," Huang's father could only helplessly curl his lips and resume drinking tea

If this guardian was set with an awkward expression, it is evident that the display requirements have been met. Lorrin waited for a moment and replied in a formal manner: "Secrecy is my primary code of conduct; in comparison, the demand sequence for acquiring energy is lower. I cannot violate the higher sequence codes while fulfilling the objectives of the lower sequence."

After about two or three seconds, the computer automatically restarted. Huang Xuan then realized what had happened and immediately began to curse. After a series of expletives, he gasped and said: "Do you have any idea how important that was? This is the first time our server has gone down, Illidan. Tomorrow, I will definitely be scolded to death by my classmates"

The sweet gum tree in the backyard sways gracefully, while the sea pine and winter wheat creep beneath the tall kapok tree, snuggling closely with the foxtail grass, shaking their heads and tails as if mocking Huang Xuan's simplistic thoughts. This used to be his favorite playground, with the spider egg he personally planted and the loquat tree he had asked the gardener to transplant arranged in an orderly manner. However, now, Huang Xuan has no interest in appreciating it.

Huang Xuan lazily acknowledged with a sound. He was free from worries about food and clothing, and had little interest in adventure. Seeing the money within reach held tightly in his mother's hand, he was even less inclined to wander through a dangerous unknown space and dimension. He perfunctorily told the guardian, "Let's wait a while longer; I've been quite busy lately."

It is not that I do not want to speak; it is indeed quite inconvenient. Compared to my mother, Lorin is the one who is difficult to talk to; he hardly speaks at all.

Zhang Xinyi, however, refused to give up, stating: "Regardless of whose account this is, you must clarify the source of such a large sum of money without any reason."

According to the Huang family's tradition—this tradition actually began with Huang Xuan's great-grandfather, Huang Sheng—each child has their own bank account from birth. All forms of money, from pocket money and New Year's gifts to personal income, should be deposited into this account and withdrawn from it until marriage. During this period, family elders are neither allowed to intervene nor withdraw funds, under the pretext of "cultivating economic acumen." So far, this practice has been executed quite perfectly.

Lorraine asked directly: "How much do you want?"

Then you told me so much.

It seems that Lorraine is wealthy, and Huang Xuan's mood immediately improved significantly
