Lin Yu sat in her office, holding the latest market analysis report, her brow furrowed tightly, resembling a student trapped by a difficult problem, or an ant on a hot pan, frantically scurrying about.
The data on the report was shocking, like sharp knives and steel needles piercing her nerves, leaving her restless. Each declining curve felt like a heavy blow to her heart, making her dizzy and nauseous. The market share of "Dream Journey" continued to plummet, akin to a sheer cliff drop; the speed of user loss was accelerating, like a flood that had burst its dam, rushing out uncontrollably. The company was on the brink of survival, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
"What on earth is happening? Why has our new version of the game not only failed to recover market share but has instead dropped even faster?" Lin Yu was at a loss, feeling as if she were lost in a maze or blindfolded, completely bewildered. She felt like a headless fly, darting around aimlessly without finding an escape.
She slammed the report down on the table with a loud bang, like a bomb exploding or a thunderclap shaking the entire office.
"Jiang Chen! It must be Jiang Chen's doing!" Lin Yu gritted her teeth, her tone filled with anger and resentment, as if she wanted to swallow Jiang Chen whole to relieve her frustration. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms until they almost drew blood. Besides Jiang Chen, she couldn't think of anyone else who would go to such lengths to undermine her; it was as obvious as Sima Zhao's intentions.
"Inverse Light, are you there? Come out!" Lin Yu urgently called out to the system in her mind, as if grasping for a lifeline.
"I'm here, host. Please give your instructions," the system's voice remained calm.
"Can you track Jiang Chen's recent activities? I have a feeling this guy is up to no good!" Lin Yu asked anxiously in her mind, like a child eager for answers.
"Host, searching for Jiang Chen's movements... Search complete. Jiang Chen has been frequently contacting major gaming media and streamers. From my analysis, he seems to be gearing up for something big; he may be manipulating public opinion behind the scenes to tarnish 'Dream Journey'," the system's voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind, calm and objective like a detached observer.
Lin Yu's heart sank like a heavy stone dropped into deep water, sending ripples through her thoughts. It felt as if cold water had been poured over her from head to toe, chilling her instantly. Jiang Chen was actually manipulating public opinion to slander her game? How despicable! It was utterly shameless! He had resorted to such underhanded tactics.
"This despicable man! I must expose his true colors! Clear my name and reclaim my hard work!" Lin Yu vowed internally, filled with anger and determination as she envisioned Jiang Chen beneath her feet. She silently swore that she would make him pay!
She stood up abruptly, like an enraged lioness ready for battle or a sword drawn from its sheath, radiating sharpness.
"System, exchange for all of Jiang Chen's background information! I want to know everything about him! No matter the cost, I will expose him!" Lin Yu declared firmly, sounding as if she were issuing an order or setting down a military decree.
"Host, exchanging for all of Jiang Chen's background information requires 5,000 points. This is not a small amount; you should consider it carefully," the system replied with a hint of caution in its tone.
5,000 points? Lin Yu bit her lip as she made up her mind; it felt like making a difficult choice. Although 5,000 points was substantial, she couldn't afford to hesitate any longer! This was all she had left. She needed to know Jiang Chen's secrets in order to find a way to deal with him! Knowing herself and knowing him would ensure victory in every battle!
"Exchange! No more talking; hurry up!" Lin Yu said decisively, her tone resolute and tinged with determination.
"Understood, host. Deducting 5,000 points; remaining points: 0. Exchange successful!" A stream of data flashed through Lin Yu's mind as if fast-forwarding through a movie.
After the successful exchange, a detailed profile of Jiang Chen appeared in Lin Yu's mind. The information revealed that Jiang Chen's background was far more complex than she had imagined; it could be described as unfathomable. Not only was he the president of Jiang Group, but he was also a member of a mysterious organization that wielded immense power and resources capable of controlling the entire gaming market. It was as if he could cover the sky with one hand!
Lin Yu stared at the profile, filled with shock and fear, as if she were facing a terrifying monster or gazing into an endless black hole. She finally understood why Jiang Chen had such overwhelming confidence to challenge her. It turned out that he had a vast organization backing him! This was nothing short of a dimensional strike!
“System, what is this organization? Why are they targeting me? I have no grievances with them; are they just looking for trouble?” Lin Yu asked, her tone filled with confusion and unease, like a lost child desperately seeking answers.
“Host, based on my analysis, this organization's goal is likely your system. They want to acquire your system and use its power to control the entire world. At that point, what school beauty or domineering president would not be at their mercy?” the system explained, its tone tinged with concern.
Lin Yu's heart sank like a stone dropped into an abyss, as if she had been struck hard on the head, causing her to see stars. She finally realized that Jiang Chen's target was not just her company but her system! He wanted to seize her system and control the world! Such ambition was outrageous! It was nothing short of delusional!
“This is too terrifying! How can they do this? It's utterly lawless! What should I do? I'm just a weak woman, powerless to fight back against them!” Lin Yu felt overwhelmed with fear and helplessness, like a child lost in darkness or a lamb awaiting slaughter, utterly defenseless.
“Host, you must quickly enhance your strength to combat this organization. You can use points to exchange for more powerful items and abilities or seek allies to fight against your enemies together. However, you currently have zero points, so you might find yourself powerless,” the system suggested, its tone carrying both hope and resignation.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't panic; she had to pull herself together to protect herself and her system! She couldn't just sit back and wait; she needed to take the initiative!
“System, exchange for the ‘Advanced Market Analysis’ feature! I want to know Jiang Chen's next move! I refuse to believe I can't outmaneuver one lousy man!” Lin Yu declared firmly, as if rallying herself or declaring war on Jiang Chen.
“Host, exchanging for the ‘Advanced Market Analysis’ feature requires 2000 points. Given your empty pockets, it seems you’re more willing than able,” the system replied with a hint of sarcasm.
“Is there any other way?” Lin Yu asked anxiously.
“Host, you can earn points through other means, such as completing special tasks or challenges. However, these tasks and challenges carry certain risks; you need to consider carefully so you don’t end up losing more than you gain,” the system cautioned.
“What tasks? Tell me!” Lin Yu inquired.
“Help Old Wang next door find his lost dog that has been missing for three years; reward: 100 points,” the system stated.
“Uh…” Lin Yu was left speechless. What kind of task was that? It would be faster to collect trash for points!
“System, be serious! Do you have any legitimate tasks?” Lin Yu insisted.
“Alright, there is another task: revive ‘Dream Journey’ within a month; reward: 10,000 points,” the system said.
"This is more like it, but isn't a month a bit too short?" Lin Yu asked.
"Host, this is already the easiest task. If it were any easier, you'd be picking up trash," the system replied.
"Alright, I'll take it!" Lin Yu gritted her teeth and said.
"Host, good luck!" the system said.
"Wait, I have one more question. Can you give me a hint about Jiang Chen's next move?" Lin Yu inquired.
"Host, I can't provide that, but I can give you a piece of advice: 'A cautious approach leads to long-lasting success.' Jiang Chen is not someone to be underestimated; you must be very careful," the system warned.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, system," Lin Yu replied.
"You're welcome, host. It's what I'm here for," the system said.
Lin Yu closed the dialogue with the system and began to think about her next steps. She knew that her only hope now was to revive "Dream Journey" within a month. Only then could she earn enough points to exchange for the "Advanced Market Analysis" feature, which would reveal Jiang Chen's next plan and help her find a way to counter him.
"Exchange!" Lin Yu gritted her teeth and said, deciding to take a leap of faith.
After the exchange was successful, an analysis report regarding Jiang Chen's next plan appeared in Lin Yu's mind. The report indicated that Jiang Chen planned to exploit vulnerabilities in "Dream Journey" to completely destroy the game and bankrupt Lin Yu's company! He intended to cut off her resources and force her into a corner!
Lin Yu's heart tightened as if a string had snapped or someone had stepped hard on her foot, causing her pain. She had to find the vulnerabilities in "Dream Journey" as soon as possible to thwart Jiang Chen's scheme! Time was of the essence!
With urgency pressing upon her, Lin Yu immediately gathered the company's technical team to begin investigating the vulnerabilities in "Dream Journey." She briefly explained the situation to the team, and everyone realized the gravity of the problem. They were all fired up, eager to confront Jiang Chen head-on.
"Listen up, everyone! This crisis concerns our company's survival. We must do everything we can to find and fix the game's vulnerabilities!" Lin Yu declared, her voice strong and resolute.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their voices booming.
"Great! Let's get started!" Lin Yu commanded.
"Yes!" they echoed again before diving into their work.
However, Jiang Chen's plan was more meticulous than she had imagined. He had secretly implanted a special virus in the code of "Dream Journey," a virus that could silently corrupt game data and cause the game to crash! This virus was extremely stealthy and difficult to detect, like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Lin Yu and her team worked day and night, trying to trace the source of the virus and eliminate it. Everyone was spinning like tops, unable to afford even a moment's rest.
But the virus spread rapidly, having already infected most of the game servers, and it continued to expand, spreading like a plague to every corner.
The collapse of "Dream Journey" seemed inevitable...
Lin Yu stared at the flashing red alerts on her computer screen, filled with despair and helplessness, like a drowning person struggling desperately but sinking deeper. Was she really going to lose? Would she have to watch her hard work go to waste?
At that moment, a voice from the system suddenly echoed in Lin Yu's mind: "Host, a new type of virus has been detected. Analyzing virus structure... Analysis complete! Virus source has been locked, and a removal plan is being formulated..."
Lin Yu's heart leaped with joy, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness or grasped a lifeline. The system could actually analyze the structure of the virus and devise a removal plan? This was fantastic! It felt like there was still a way out!
"System, how long will the removal plan take?" Lin Yu asked eagerly, as if she could see hope on the horizon.
"Host, the removal plan will take 24 hours," the system replied.
Twenty-four hours? Lin Yu's heart tightened. Would "Dream Journey" still hold up after 24 hours? Would Jiang Chen just sit back and watch her eliminate the virus? Would he let her have even this slim chance of survival?
This battle had only just begun! The contest between both sides had entered a fever pitch!
