Lin Yu sat in her office, holding the latest market analysis report, her brow furrowed as if she were a student trapped by a difficult problem, restless like an ant on a hot pan.
The data on the report was alarming, piercing her nerves like sharp knives or steel needles, leaving her feeling uneasy. 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, resembling a steep cliff, with user losses accelerating like a flood that had burst its dam, unstoppable. The company was on the brink of collapse, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
"What on earth is happening? Why hasn't our new game version improved our market share? Instead, it's dropping even faster!" Lin Yu pondered in confusion, feeling lost in a maze, as if blindfolded and unable to grasp the situation. She felt like a headless fly, flailing about without finding an exit.
In frustration, she slammed the report down on the table with a loud bang, akin to an explosion or a thunderclap that shook the entire office.
"Jiang Chen! It must be Jiang Chen's doing!" Lin Yu gritted her teeth, her voice filled with anger and resentment as if she wanted to tear Jiang Chen apart to relieve her fury. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms until it 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 day.
"Inverse Light, 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 command," the System replied in its calm tone.
"Can you track Jiang Chen's recent activities? I have a feeling this guy is up to no good!" Lin Yu asked anxiously, like a child eager for answers.
"Host, searching for Jiang Chen's activities... Search complete. Jiang Chen has been frequently contacting major gaming media and streamers. According to my analysis, he seems to be gearing up for some financial maneuvering. He might be orchestrating 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 dropping into a deep pool, sending ripples through her thoughts. The realization that Jiang Chen was manipulating public opinion against her game was infuriatingly despicable! Such shameless tactics were beneath contempt!
"This despicable little man! I must expose his true nature! Clear my name and reclaim what’s rightfully mine!" Lin Yu vowed inwardly, filled with anger and determination as she envisioned Jiang Chen beneath her feet. She silently swore that he would pay for his actions!
Suddenly standing up like an enraged lioness ready for battle or a sword drawn from its sheath gleaming with intent, she declared, "System, exchange for all of Jiang Chen's background information! I want to know everything about him! No matter the cost, I will reveal his true self!"
"Host, exchanging for all of Jiang Chen's background information requires 5000 Points. This is not a small sum; you should consider it carefully," the System cautioned.
5000 Points? Lin Yu bit her lip as if making a resolute decision or facing a tough choice. Although 5000 Points was substantial, she could no longer afford to hesitate! This was all she had left. She needed to know Jiang Chen's secrets to find a way to counter him! Knowing herself and her enemy would ensure victory!
"Exchange! No more talking; hurry up!" Lin Yu said decisively, her tone filled with determination and resolve.
"Understood, host. Deducting 5000 Points; remaining Points: 0. Exchange successful!" A stream of data flashed through Lin Yu's mind like fast-forwarding through a movie.
After the successful exchange, Lin Yu found herself flooded with detailed information about Jiang Chen. The data 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 possessed immense power and resources, capable of manipulating the entire gaming market! It was as if he held the world in his hands!
Lin Yu stared at the information, her heart filled with shock and fear. It felt like confronting 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 a vast organization was 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 utilize its power to control the entire world. At that point, what school beauty or Dominant CEO would not be at their mercy?" the System explained, its tone tinged with concern.
Lin Yu's heart sank, feeling as if a stone had dropped into an abyss or 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 take her System and control the entire world! Such ambition was outrageous! It was nothing short of delusional!
"This is terrifying! How can they do this? It's completely 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 the enemy together. However, your Points are currently at zero; it seems you are powerless," the System suggested, its tone carrying a mix of 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' function! 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' function requires 2000 Points. With your current empty pockets, it seems you are lacking in both means and strength," the System replied with a hint of sarcasm.
"Is there any other way?" Lin Yu asked anxiously.
"You can acquire Points through other means, such as completing special tasks or challenges. However, these tasks and challenges come with certain risks; you need to consider carefully so that you don’t end up losing more than you gain," the System warned.
"What tasks? Tell me!" Lin Yu pressed.
"Help Old Wang next door find his missing Big Yellow Dog that has been lost for three years; reward: 100 Points," the System stated.
"This..." Lin Yu was left speechless. What kind of task was that? It would be quicker to pick up trash for Points!
"System, be serious! Do you have any legitimate tasks?" Lin Yu insisted.
"Alright, there is one more task: revive 'Dream Journey' within a month; reward: 10,000 Points," the System announced.
"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 just 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 what Jiang Chen's next plan is?" Lin Yu inquired.
"Host, I really can't provide that. However, I can give you a piece of advice: 'A cautious ship sails for a thousand years.' Jiang Chen is not an easy opponent; you must be very careful," the System warned.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, System," Lin Yu said.
"You're welcome, Host. It's my duty," the System replied.
Lin Yu closed the dialogue with the System and began to contemplate 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 move 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 her mind. The report indicated that Jiang Chen planned to exploit vulnerabilities in "Dream Journey" to completely destroy the game and drive Lin Yu's company into bankruptcy! He aimed 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 stomped on her foot, causing her to wince in 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; there was no room for delay!
With urgency pressing upon her, Lin Yu immediately gathered the company's Technical Team to start investigating the vulnerabilities in "Dream Journey." She briefly explained the situation to them, and everyone realized the severity of the problem. They were all fired up, eager to confront Jiang Chen head-on.
"Listen up, everyone! This crisis concerns the survival of our company. We must do everything we can to find and fix the game's vulnerabilities!" Lin Yu declared with a strong voice.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their spirits high.
"Great! Let's get started!" Lin Yu commanded.
"Yes!" they echoed again before diving into their tasks.
However, Jiang Chen's plan was more meticulous than she had imagined. He had implanted a special virus within the code of "Dream Journey," a virus that could silently corrupt game data and cause the game to crash! This virus was extremely insidious 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 pause.
But the virus spread rapidly, infecting 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, her heart 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 down the drain?
Just then, the voice of 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 in, formulating elimination plan..."
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 an elimination plan? This was fantastic! It was as if there was still a way out!
"System, how long will the elimination plan take?" Lin Yu asked eagerly, as if hope had finally appeared.
"Host, the elimination 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 this slim chance of survival?
This battle had only just begun! The struggle between both sides had entered a fever pitch!
