Gu Yuluo let out a string of expletives before poring over the code again and again. About three minutes passed before Gu Yuluo spoke, her face a mixture of emotions, "Do you think they had this planned all along, or was it a spur-of-the-moment decision last night to upgrade the system?"
If it was premeditated, writing the code would have taken longer. If it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, then it was all done in one night.
"Whether it was premeditated or a spur-of-the-moment idea, this code is beyond our capability," said Gu Xiyue. Unlike Gu Yuluo’s excitement, Gu Xiyue’s tone was cold and calm.
As to how tumultuous her heart was, only she knew.
Hearing Gu Xiyue speak, Gu Yuluo sighed deeply, her voice deflated, "Indeed, with this code on my hands, it would take me at least another hundred years to write it."
On the other end, Gu Xiyue remained silent.
Gu Yuluo continued, "Do you think there’s a possibility that this Jiu and Angel are like organizations, made up of many people?"
"Not satisfied with one person being better than you, you suspect a whole group is?" Gu Xiyue said indifferently when she heard Gu Yuluo’s speculation.
Gu Yuluo decided to go silent.
After going silent, Gu Yuluo didn’t stay idle. She earnestly looked at the backend code. While studying it, she spoke again, laboriously, "This algorithm is too damn difficult, I can’t even understand it."
Gu Xiyue on the other end remained silent, saying nothing. Seeing this, Gu Yuluo asked another question, "Moon, can you understand it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo finally felt comforted.
If even Moon, the freak, couldn’t understand it, then it was normal for her not to understand it either.
"Jiu mentioned settling wages, what do you think we should do?" Gu Xiyue asked, her tone still measured and cool.
"Ah? They’ve asked you for wages?" Gu Yuluo’s voice took on a tinge of surprise.
"It’s the last message in the screenshot."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo reopened the screenshot and, sure enough, found that the fourth sentence was about wages. Seeing this, Gu Yuluo’s eyes flickered and she suddenly straightened up, "This is a good opportunity to win them over."
On the other end, Gu Xiyue didn’t speak, waiting for Gu Yuluo to continue.
Gu Yuluo raised her hand to her chin, thought coloring her eyes, "I have an idea, but it depends on whether you’re willing."
"Split a part of Web Weaver’s shares with Jiu, and let them take dividends."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue fell silent.
"However, there are pros and cons."
"The advantage is, as long as they accept the shares, they’ll actively maintain Web Weaver for the dividends, and we won’t have to worry about them grouping up with Angel and the others for a while. Plus, if they’re willing to cooperate, they could become a strong addition to Web Weaver’s team."
"The downside is, no one among us can restrict them."
"However, regarding the downside, it can be considered negligible. After all, if they want to cause trouble, whether they’re with us or not, we can’t stop them. From this perspective, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages."
"Of course, all this is based on the premise that they like money and prefer to earn it ethically. But, looking at the messages they sent you, they seem to be exactly that type of person."
Gu Yuluo lowered her eyes, the depth in her gaze full, as she laid out the pros and cons with Gu Xiyue.
After Gu Yuluo finished, Gu Xiyue was silent for a few seconds. Not making Gu Yuluo wait too long, she finally spoke, "You contact them. As for how many shares to allocate, discuss it with 003 and the rest. If any of them are not happy with it, the shares can come directly from me."
