"Everyone, the Q3 data looks impressive."
Su Wenxin stood in the conference room of the tech company, dressed in a sharply tailored suit, her fingertips lightly tapping on a tablet. A holographic projection unfolded behind her, with data streams cascading like a waterfall.
"However—" a signature cold smile played on her lips, "our competitors are clearly not limited to those you see here."
The projection switched, and real-time data charts emerged.
"Your insight is appreciated," the Technical Director adjusted his glasses, "we have indeed detected some unusual energy fluctuations."
"Unusual?" Su Wenxin swiped her finger, and several red markers appeared on the projection. "This is more like a direct confrontation. Someone is using cultivation techniques to interfere with our Quantum Computing System."
A murmur of shock rippled through the conference room.
The combination of technology and cultivation was no secret in this era. However, being able to impact Su Technology's quantum system was no ordinary feat.
"Meeting adjourned." Su Wenxin shut off the projection. "Promise me you won't dismiss shareholders with comments like 'cultivation is unscientific' anymore. In this age, cultivation is the forefront of science."
In her office, she activated the Light Brain projection and quickly typed out several lines of code. A complex formation diagram materialized on the holographic screen.
"Ding—"
A notification lit up.
Family Confidential Report: Anomalies detected at ancient ruins. Suspected attempts to break the seal. Immediate investigation required.
"Tsk, they couldn't hold back for long?" Su Wenxin tapped her fingertips, and the glass of her office instantly turned opaque. She waved her right hand in the air, and a Spiritual Barrier unfolded.
A red dot was moving rapidly across the projection of the Light Brain. It was the signal sent back from the detection arrays she had set up throughout the city.
"Interesting," she said as she pulled up more data. "It can evade all the surveillance cameras, yet it can't escape my spiritual detection."
Her wristwatch vibrated, indicating a warning from the company's security system. Normally, any energy fluctuations beyond human limits would be recorded by the system. However, this time, it only detected a slight anomaly, as if something was interfering with the signal.
"It seems I need to pay a visit." Su Wenxin stood up, her fingers tracing an arc in the air as a talisman slipped into the collar of her suit. "To think I'd have to personally handle an ancient relic."
She walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window and lightly tapped her fingertip against it. The window slid open silently. A gentle breeze swept through at thirty stories high.
"I hope it won't be too boring."
With that, Su Wenxin stepped out, her figure vanishing instantly into thin air. Only a nearly invisible trace of spiritual energy indicated her departure.
In the office, the Light Brain continued to operate, and data streams flowed slowly. Suddenly, a red warning popped up on the screen:
【Warning: Super User intrusion detected】
【Warning: System Core under attack】
【Warning: Quantum Firewall... reconfiguring...】
On the screen, digital codes flashed wildly before finally freezing on a line of text:
"Long time no see, Manager Su."
Underneath the Interchange Bridge, Su Wenxin's figure quietly materialized. She activated the Light Brain projection, and data streams swirled in the air.
"Tsk, someone with skills is messing with my system." She tapped her fingertip again to bring up a string of code. "Using Taoist techniques to interfere with quantum computing—this is outrageous."
The watch vibrated, and a new message popped up:
【Location of Anomalous Energy Fluctuation: Old District Abandoned Subway Station】
【Energy Type: Unknown】
【Danger Level: SSS】
"SSS?" Su Wenxin raised an eyebrow. "When did our company's firewall become so modest?"
With a flick of her right hand, a silver chip floated into her palm, engraved with intricate runes. This was her original Technological Artifact, capable of converting Cultivation techniques into Digital Signals.
"Activate protection."
The runes glowed, and a translucent barrier enveloped her. In the modern city, such means of concealing energy fluctuations were essential. The world of Cultivators hid in places invisible to ordinary people.
The Old District subway station had long been abandoned. Su Wenxin descended the steps, her footsteps silent. The watch projected a map of the station, with a red dot indicating that the anomalous fluctuation was coming from the end of the platform.
"Interesting." She gazed ahead. "An energy fluctuation that even the barrier can't conceal; something's definitely going on."
Suddenly, the Light Brain alarm blared.
【Warning: Detected Super User attempting to breach again】
【Warning: System is... wait... this is...】
【Warning: WTF!!!】
Su Wenxin: "......"
Well, it seemed even the system had been compromised.
From the end of the platform came the sound of a drunken song:
"I should be wandering the rivers and lakes~~"
"Drinking a jug of murky wine~~"
"......"
Su Wenxin stared expressionlessly ahead. A man leaned crookedly against the wall, holding a wine jug in his hand.
"Oh, isn't this Manager Su?" The man looked up, revealing a handsome, drunken face. "What brings you here today? Want to join me for a couple of drinks?"
Su Wenxin scoffed, "Ao Tian, you’re pretending to be drunk quite convincingly."
"Tsk, found out?" The man straightened up, the drunkenness vanishing in an instant. "As expected of Manager Su, sharp-eyed as always."
"Cut the act." Su Wenxin projected data into the air. "My firewall has been completely stripped bare by you, and you’re still here pretending to be drunk and cute?"
"Come on now." Ao Tian shook the wine jug. "I just wanted to have some fun with you. You work all day long; how boring is that?"
In the next moment, the wine jug flew through the air.
Su Wenxin flicked her fingers, and a talisman met it midair. The jug exploded, sending droplets of wine scattering like fine points of light, each drop containing terrifying power.
"Thousand Mechanisms Scattering Blossoms?" Su Wenxin squinted. "This wine isn’t cheap."
"Of course not." Ao Tian grinned. "It's specially prepared for Manager Su."
The points of light burst apart, transforming into countless sword energies. Su Wenxin's talisman flickered as several protective barriers sprang up in an instant.
Amidst the clanging sounds of collision, her Light Brain went into a frenzy of alarms:
"Energy fluctuations exceed the warning line."
"Detection system overload."
"Immediate evacuation is advised."
"Ahhh, it's going to explode, it's going to explode!!!"
Su Wenxin thought, "I need to fix the system when I get back; this character setup is falling apart."
"Are you done playing?" she looked at Ao Tian. "If you want to test me, just say it directly."
"Aren't you afraid that Manager Su won't take it well?" Ao Tian replied, his smile fading. "What do you think about the ancient ruins?"
"I think you're a troublemaker."
"Likewise." Ao Tian pointed to the sky above them. "But it seems like there's a bigger problem coming now."
A cold voice echoed from above the platform:
"You two have performed quite well in this 'Reunion After Long Separation' act."
Su Wenxin and Ao Tian both looked up. At the top of the platform stood a figure in white, hands clasped behind their back, exuding an ethereal presence.
Ao Tian whistled softly. "Friend, would you like to join in on the fun?"
