The big boss said, "We'll send you a component chip and a starter via express delivery within three days. You just need to connect this to your holographic pod. Follow the instructions, and we'll give you a notification after you've completed the process. Upon receiving the notification, we'll quickly attack the interstellar mainframe to buy you two hours. This is an extra charge; we won't refund the funds if your previous plans are completely abandoned, it will be used to offset these two hours. After you've completed what you want to do, implant the code I asked you to bring in and your own code program into the mainframe, then come out. Remember, you must come out within two hours. Just follow instructions and don't close the communication channels. Once inside, the interface that opens is the mainframe's universal access interface. Everything will be automatically determined based on your thought process; you don't need to learn anything. I still need to discuss the specifics with my subordinates, and I'll hand it over to you after you receive the components."
Lin Shu-ying said, "I'm waiting for your good news."
This period was perfect for refining her plan; the previous plan was definitely unusable and needed to be modified. Besides, she was still worried that these people would target the mainframe. If the mainframe failed, they could simply revert to offline work; the holographic network would be gone. But affecting the overall strength of humanity was a different story. The Zerg were watching closely, and if humanity were wiped out, Lin Shuying would be devastated.
Even if the interstellar people are not a continuation of her timeline, they are still a civilized race.
Thinking of this, she contacted the Grand Marshal, who was surprised that Lin Shuying contacted him alone.
"Hello, Designer Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Shuying didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "I'm contacting you personally this time. May I ask if the military's weapons and other procedures are controlled by the mainframe? Or, if the mainframe shuts down, will the military's high-tech weapons and equipment be affected?"
As long as the military remains stable, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?
The Grand Marshal was taken aback. Why would anyone ask such a question?
"I... I can't reveal anything about military matters; it's classified. I'm sorry. But don't worry, the military has measures in place to prevent disruptions to the power grid, holographic communications, and other technologies, so there will be some impact, but it won't be significant."
"That's good, Marshal. As a reward for telling me this, I'll also tell you something. Remember to arrange for people to participate in the next Qingfengyi event, the more the better, within five hours. Please don't leak this information; it won't be good for you if it does."
The Grand Marshal realized that Lin Shuying's condition was not right and that her tone was strange. He hurriedly asked, "What are you planning to do! I will not allow you to do anything that endangers interstellar security!"
Lin Shuying laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't. Remember the next Qingfengyi event, whether we succeed or not depends on you guys. Good luck."
After saying that, Lin Shuying hung up the call, which could be considered her last act of kindness.
The space pirate who had been in contact with Lin Shuying sent her a message asking, "Aren't you worried about your men?"
He didn't know the specifics of the plan or the collaboration between the big boss and Lin Shuying, but he suspected from his superiors that it was a do-or-die, all-or-nothing plan.
Lin Shuying replied: "I have given them all my belongings. I believe that even without Qingfengyi, they will live well, at least better than before."
Putting aside the high salaries these years, food, drink, and basic necessities are basically free, and people save as much of their salary as possible.
Even if you don't save money for some expensive expenses, the skills you learn here will definitely be enough to make a living in this interstellar world.
Lin Shuying: "Besides, my studio has been established for almost ten years, which is quite a successful company, right? Businesses will eventually go bankrupt. Everyone needs to be mature and learn to face the situation of a business going bankrupt."
What's the point of worrying about her now that we've already killed her?
Although she had become indifferent to life and death after arriving here, and even had her lifespan extended due to some bizarre event involving time-space alignment, this was not a reason for them to murder her!
Lin Shuying thought of the saying: "When a person is about to die, his words are good."
Reality seems to be different. We need to analyze how that person died—whether it was a wrongful death, a murder, or an accident. Even the kindest person who is murdered or wrongfully killed would harbor resentment, wouldn't they?
No wonder there were so many vengeful ghosts in ancient times. It is said that fierce ghosts only become fierce ghosts because they harbored resentment before they died.
Does she count too?
He was lucky enough to learn of his injustice before he died.
It doesn't matter anymore.
How amazing! The countdown to her life didn't seem so dramatic for her, nor did it feel like she needed to do something in the end to avoid regrets. Instead of counting the things she wanted to do that would take days, she decided to just sit there and daydream.
Arriving at that secret spot in Qingfengyi, the peach blossoms were still falling. I remember eating under the trees with my parents and grandparents when I was little, and mosquitoes would always bite her from the rice paddies next to us. My grandparents would say it was because she was cute, and that her blood smelled sweet, which was why the mosquitoes liked her. It was summer, and the heat was shielded from the shade of the peach and plum trees.
But in Qingfengyi's secret base, there were no rice paddies, no grandparents, no parents, and certainly no mosquito that she had killed.
Flowers bloom and fall, forming streams; spring comes and autumn goes, all four seasons are complete.
Dreams of beautiful scenery can't compare to a single peach blossom in one's hometown.
Sitting here, I see everything remains the same, even the finest details; the fragrance of yesterday has faded away.
My eyes are filled with hope, but all I see are empty sighs; neither things nor people are to be found.
There's no similarity at all; they're completely dissimilar!
Lin Shuying woke up in the holographic chamber, her eyes still stinging from the tears. The fluid in the chamber had been found to contain excessive amounts of tears and needed to be filtered.
The images of peach blossoms and loved ones linger in my mind, filled with longing.
Lin Shuying's grandparents are no longer here. She wasn't this heartbroken or missed them this much when they left in her previous life. When she went to sweep their graves, she could still laugh and talk about random things, but right now she really, really misses them, like she's going crazy with longing.
I miss that land, I miss those people, I miss that moment, I miss my hometown.
It's said that people experience a final burst of energy before death, a moment when their minds are filled with thoughts of their most beloved people, their happiest or saddest moments, and the people they most want to see...
The effects of the medication were wearing off, and Lin Shuying was about to receive her next injection. Her energy was returning, but the feeling of impending death was intensifying; she could truly feel death approaching. She hadn't believed the older generation's stories about sensing one's impending doom, but now that she was experiencing it herself, she knew they were right.
However, her radiant complexion greatly improved the atmosphere in the studio. Everyone seemed more focused and started working diligently. There was a sense of wanting to boost the boss's morale and make him happy through good performance.
Wei Linwei and his team planned to handle all the design for the next event, so Lin Shuying wouldn't have to worry about it. However, Lin Shuying rejected this, saying, "I'll be fully responsible for the next event, including the data. You guys fix the bugs and data issues from the previous event. Players..."
