Chapter 50: Unlocking Skills

Chapter 50: Unlocking Skills

[Stupid Sister, you think just because you show up somewhere, I'll know it's dangerous?]

[Stupid Sister: I don't know what's inside, so I'll just assume the worst.]

[If it really is stealing national secrets... then Captain Qing and Jiang Xiaoya might not be able to walk out of this building alive.]

[If it really is that dangerous, there's a high possibility the room or the entire building is rigged with a self-destruct sequence, potentially an irreversible physical destruction.]

[Stupid Sister, run!!]

[Stupid Sister, just leave, stop playing around. Your life matters too! If you leave, who's going to make me laugh?]

[I suggest Captain Qing and Stupid Sister leave immediately.]

[I suggest Captain Qing and Stupid Sister leave immediately.]

[...]

Yu Cuo and Wu Lun arrived at the outskirts of the abandoned factory area with their team. Upon hearing the report from their colleagues regarding the bullet comments, they hurriedly took out their phones to call Qing Tianfeng, warning him and Jiang Xiaoya not to touch that warehouse under any circumstances.

"..."

Jiang Xiaoya heard it.

She glanced at the warehouse without saying a word, but her expression made it clear she was cursing them out internally.

The system was treating her like a Japanese spy.

"Are we still going in?" Qing Tianfeng asked Jiang Xiaoya after hanging up the phone.

"Not going? Then let's go." With that, Qing Tianfeng turned to leave.

Jiang Xiaoya: "..."

"What? You really want to go in? If it really is that thing, both of us will..." Qing Tianfeng watched her with a teasing, knowing gaze.

He had figured her out; Jiang Xiaoya clearly had the personality of someone who would walk straight into a tiger's den even when she knew the tiger was there.

"Tsk..." Why did he seem so annoying?

Jiang Xiaoya wasn't someone easily manipulated, so she immediately countered: "Captain Qing, if it really is that thing, is there a bonus?"

Qing Tianfeng: "I'm really not sure about that."

Jiang Xiaoya: "Then let's not go in."

To hell with whatever is inside, she was staying right here.

"However, since this case is so big, the reward will definitely be substantial," Qing Tianfeng said after a few seconds of hesitation.

Jiang Xiaoya instantly perked up. She patted his shoulder: "Captain Qing, that's not right of you. For such a major matter, as citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, how can we just stand by and watch?"

"Whether there's a bonus or not doesn't matter to me. For such an act of betrayal and selling out the Dragon Kingdom, how could I possibly sit idly by?"

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

He had been trying to figure out what kind of person Jiang Xiaoya was.

At first, he thought she was driven by money; then, he thought she could be a coward; and now, it turned out she was indeed driven by money.

The netizens had the same thought.

[Money doesn't matter, what matters is the bonus.]

[Not sure? Then let's not go in. Is there a bonus? Money doesn't matter, but I can't sit idly by when it comes to money matters.]

[Hahaha, Stupid Sister is truly short on cash.]

[Stupid Sister comes from a poor background, of course she knows the importance of money.]

[Stupid Sister is so inspiring, a modern role model for the underprivileged.]

[Stupid Sister: Are you all still complaining about being corporate slaves? I'm already risking my life.]

Jiang Xiaoya had accepted her fate. She first turned several cameras aside to ensure they were out of sight. After confirming there were no other cameras in the vicinity, she took white gloves out of her backpack and put them on one by one.

Qing Tianfeng was stunned by her actions: "Is professional trash picking this advanced nowadays?"

Ropes, gloves—this was looking very criminal.

"This? This is gear everyone prepared themselves before joining the show. I was just worried I wouldn't find enough trash and would end up sleeping on the streets."

So, she had prepared survival tools.

It had to be said, this was truly foresightful.

Qing Tianfeng fell silent again, as if it happened every time.

She was clearly full of loopholes, yet in the end, she always appeared flawless.

As a criminal investigation captain, a veteran in his field, he couldn't see through her heart even after being in such close proximity.

It was evident that Jiang Xiaoya was a person of profound calculation.

If she truly had criminal intentions, she would be the most formidable high-IQ criminal he had encountered in all his years of service.

If Jiang Xiaoya knew that Qing Tianfeng had been thinking this way and reaching such conclusions, she would be utterly speechless.

*Profound calculation? Give it to me! Give it to me!!*

*Do you want it? Do you want it!!*

Wearing her gloves, Jiang Xiaoya walked up to the warehouse door. She first studied the lock and determined it was a high-level combination lock.

Why did she make that judgment?

Because it was too high-level; she couldn't understand it and couldn't figure anything out.

Jiang Xiaoya gave a profound, mysterious smile: "......"

*I don't understand, so I'll just smile (pretend) for a bit.*

When the netizens in the livestream saw the combination lock on the door, someone quickly stepped up to explain what kind of lock it was.

[I've heard of this kind of combination lock a long time ago. It's not rare, but it's not cheap. Very few people use them; they are usually only used in classified departments.]

[That's a combination lock equipped with a self-destruct sequence. There are several types of self-destruct sequences. Some can only be entered once, and one mistake triggers an explosion; some only destroy the contents inside, while others launch an indiscriminate attack both inside and out. You've all seen the recent news about the war in ###, right? There was an incident where a combination lock caused an explosion that killed people.]

[Can a hacker crack this kind of lock?]

[A top-tier hacker can, but they need a computer and a pairing device.]

[Stupid Sister wouldn't happen to know how to do that, would she?]

[A hacker!! My Stupid Sister is a master with a secret identity!!]

Seeing the comments, the anti-fans let out absurd, heartless laughter.

[An ordinary person who graduated from an ordinary university is a hacker? There's no such thing as ridiculous, only more ridiculous.]

[A master with a secret identity? Why not say she can fly?]

[Heh, if she's a hacker, let her be a hacker. Let all the hackers on the internet see just how much skill she has.]

[What "hacker master identity"? It's full of holes. I bet this was prepared by the production crew in advance. Jiang Xiaoya definitely knows the code.]

[I could use my toes to tell you she knows the code.]

[If you don't know the code, you dare to crack this lock? Tell me, who would dare! How is this any different from hopping around on a bomb?]

[Haha, fools meet their end. I want to see how she acts now.]

Jiang Xiaoya also took out her phone with the intention of seeking information.

Although internet access for watching livestreams would be hindered due to the police deploying wireless jammers at the crime scene, Jiang Xiaoya's phone was connected to her Sky-Eye earphones and was completely unaffected.

Then, she saw the explanation in the bullet comments.

"..."

Qing Tianfeng stood beside her, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"This kind of combination lock usually self-destructs after three wrong attempts, but it's also possible it self-destructs after just one mistake. So, we only have one chance."

"..."

Jiang Xiaoya gave another polite smile and spread her hands in a "whatever" gesture.

Internally, she was gnashing her teeth.

*Did you hear that!!*

*Three times, two times, one time—I can't afford to lose even once!!!*

*After all, my life matters too!*

Jiang Xiaoya turned around, intending to retreat.

The system's voice followed immediately after.

[The host can use points to unlock the latest skill~]

"..."
