Chapter 76: Talking Big

Mei Shu chuckled lightly, “Don’t block my path to wealth! One million, huh! Although this amount isn’t much to the Mei family, it can still be considered pocket money!”
Whoa! This woman’s tone was quite bold!
S’s voice gradually turned cold, “Well, that depends on whether you have the ability to earn that money!”
After saying that, he stopped rambling and focused on typing on the keyboard.
The system he was working on far surpassed the current computer systems in the country. Even he couldn’t complete it independently; he needed to collaborate with others and expected it would take three to five years to finish.
He didn’t believe Mei Shu could really learn it!
Despite looking young, S was very serious when he worked, even reaching a state of complete immersion.
He seemed to enter a state of meditation, continuously typing code for ten minutes, yet still seemed to be enjoying it and not willing to stop.
Lu Yan kept watching from the side.
He was simply dazzled, unable to understand what S was doing, let alone Mei Shu, who had only recently started using electronic devices!
“Alright, that should be enough!” Lu Yan reminded unhappily.
Only then did S realize that he was currently in a bet, not working. He withdrew his hands apologetically and said, “Sorry, 1 got a bit too engrossed just now. But it’s okay, as long as you can write the first hundred lines of code, I’ll admit you win!”
To him, writing those hundred lines of code would be a piece of cake, but for Mei Shu, it would probably be an impossible task.
S was confident he would win this bet.
However, he never expected that at this point, Mei Shu would still smile calmly and say, “No need to reduce the difficulty for me. 1 can replicate everything you just did, every single line of code.”
“Are you kidding me?” S’s expression immediately turned unpleasant.
He realized that this girl was all talk and no substance!
Was she going to die if she didn’t show off?
It seemed he really had to teach her a lesson for her to understand!
Feeling disdained, S stepped aside, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to witness Mei Shu’s failure.
Lu Yan, somewhat concerned, tried to stop Mei Shu’s hands from typing, “Are you really sure? It’s okay if you can’t do it. You don’t need to prove yourself. I won’t look down on you because of this.”
“You don’t believe in me that much?” Mei Shu understood Lu Yan’s good intentions and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this money in the bag! When he transfers the money to my account, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
On the side, the hacker S let out a cold laugh full of disdain.
Mei Shu wasn’t annoyed; she simply brushed aside Lu Yan’s hand blocking the keyboard and deleted the entire string of code that S had written just now.
S couldn’t help but lose his temper and roared, “Why did you delete everything? Do you know how much effort 1 put into writing that code? If you wanted to show off, you could have just opened a word processor! Why did you have to mess with my code?”
He was really angry!
One of his quirks was that he didn’t like doing the same task twice. That’s why he always worked meticulously, avoiding the need for rework because he disliked trouble.
But Mei Shu’s actions just now invalidated his ten minutes of effort!
She could easily use a little coquetry to get by if she couldn’t finish the task, but he had to rewrite that portion of code again!
Only he would end up being the one unlucky in the end!
Damn woman, the tuition fee of five hundred thousand was really too little.
If he knew she was so stubborn and shameless, he should have asked for five million instead of five hundred thousand as her tuition fee!
While he was complaining about Mei Shu’s arrogance in his mind, suddenly clear and pleasant sounds of keyboard typing echoed from the other side.
Mei Shu focused her mind, recalling every operation S had done just now, almost mirroring his every move. Occasionally, her actions hesitated because she didn’t understand the technology and only knew how to copy and paste without understanding the principles behind it.
But even so, this was enough to win the bet.
Full of confidence, Mei Shu typed for ten minutes and finally reproduced all the codes that S had typed on the computer screen.
Lu Yan was dumbfounded, completely shocked by her series of actions!
He never expected that Mei Shu would have this ability!
But he couldn’t understand whether what Mei Shu did was right or wrong, so he called S, who was standing by with a disdainful look, to judge.
Of course, S also noticed Mei Shu’s actions, but he didn’t believe she could perfectly reproduce that string of code.
He had figured it out; this woman was shamelessly trying to impress Lu Yan by randomly typing a bunch of gibberish to fool him!
Perhaps she would use some strange means to hint at him not to reveal the truth in front of Lu Yan and even promise him some benefits!
If that was the case, she was mistaken!
He was very angry now, determined to expose her true colors in front of Lu Yan!
Just you wait! Now, he was going to see what trick she was playing!
