Chapter 5

And Liu Chuang's Nuoxing War God supergene, compared to the Galaxy Power, was significantly inferior.

Although both are among the Three Divine Creation Projects, Liu Chuang could only keep pace with the Galaxy Power in the early stages; the farther they progressed, the greater the gap between them would become.

Of course, this is in comparison to the Galaxy Power.

In fact, among all supergenes, Liu Chuang's Nuoxing War God supergene was still among the top tier.

Its manifestations were immense strength and defense.

If Ge Ge Xiaolun's Invincible Body was about having blood so thick it was nearly limitless,

then Liu Chuang's defense was a crazy armor-stacking.

The farther he progressed, the higher his defense became—except that his stacking armor had a hard cap beyond which it could not grow further.

The same applied to his strength.

Liu Chuang's strength could continuously rise with the base amount of supergene energy in his body, but this increase, too, had its limits.

But regardless, both supergenes were extremely powerful.

Especially the Galaxy Power.

Jiang Hao had already set his mind on obtaining it.

But acquiring either of their supergenes was no simple matter.

First, both were under covert surveillance; any sudden contact with them would draw Du Kaao's attention.

Second, even if he obtained their blood, hair, or similar samples, analyzing their genes would be extremely difficult.

The Angels, Shenxue Academy, and Sa De Nuo civilization were certainly not generous benefactors.

They must have implemented protective measures on their genes.

Such as placing a "lock" on their genes.

Such operations must exist.

Even if he obtained their supergenes, given his current condition, analyzing them would consume enormous time and energy.

And what he needed most right now was time.

For Jiang Hao, his goal was to possess sufficient power before the Tianhe Campaign began in 2014—power enough to deter the Taotie from initiating war in Tianhe City, or even on Earth.

To repel the enemy beyond Earth's borders.

Only then could his parents, family, and friends be safe.

Therefore, rapid development was what he needed.

Not to waste vast amounts of time on two unstable variables.

After all, whether unlocking their gene "locks" or replicating them, neither was a simple undertaking.

Rather than pursuing these, he should first strengthen himself, then venture into other worlds to gain more options.

The resource limits of a single world could never compare to the infinite resources of countless worlds.

After eating, the time was already six in the afternoon.

Jiang Hao turned on his computer.

He began searching online for the materials he needed.

By 2012, it was already the internet age.

Many things Jiang Hao could now directly find on his computer.

But soon, Jiang Hao realized one thing: knowledge also cost money.

Many things required payment to access.

Especially the books Jiang Hao sought on genetics and biology.

And he was currently broke.

His predecessor had left him only fifteen hundred yuan.

Next month's rent was twelve hundred yuan, not counting utilities or his daily living expenses.

It seemed earning money was still the top priority.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao typed rapidly on the keyboard.

Soon, some unusual things appeared on the screen.

Don't misunderstand—it wasn't study material, but titles like "How to Become a Hacker," "What Are the Basics of Becoming a Hacker?," "What Is a Hacker? What Can a Hacker Do?," and "What Do You Need to Learn to Become a Hacker?"

Three hours later.

After watching numerous videos and studying related knowledge,

Jiang Hao succeeded in becoming a hacker.

Within just three hours, Jiang Hao learned computer science, programming, and design.

No, describing it as merely "learning" was inadequate; it was more accurate to say Jiang Hao had fully mastered computer science, programming, and design—and had even innovated.

Without exaggeration, in just three hours, he had transformed from an ordinary person into a super hacker.

So, next, let's run an experiment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao logged into OO and opened his colleague group, locating a contact labeled Wang Jingli.

Wang Jingli was his predecessor's superior.

His predecessor had constantly been forced to work overtime by Wang Jingli under various pretexts.

And he received no overtime pay.

Having just graduated, he feared losing the job and struggling to find another, and due to the Chinese preference for stability, he had endured it all.

Before resigning, his predecessor had intended to deliver a scathing rebuke to Wang Jingli—but ultimately, he could not bring himself to speak.

In Jiang Hao's memory,

he hated this Wang Jingli intensely.

Though not to the point of killing him, the thought of teaching him a lesson had always been there; lacking the ability, however, he had never acted on it.

"Manager Wang, you will serve as my experiment." The corner of his mouth curled slightly.

Jiang Hao's hands began to operate.

First, he wrote a program for himself on the computer.

At the same time, he began to modify his computer's IP; he did not want anyone from the Zhaoshang Sect to come knocking afterward.

……………………

Wang Shengli was a department manager at Lisheng Company.

He managed a small department under him.

His daily work mainly involved software-related business.

Because he dealt with software-related business, he often needed to communicate with customers and his subordinates, so the OO chat tool was the software they commonly used.

Although VX had gone online in November of the year 11, it had not yet been adopted as the primary chat tool for office work.
