"I never play games that have no practical significance," while Mo Xixi is an outstanding hacker in the cyber world, she is a complete realist at heart. Everything she does in the virtual information world must have an impact on reality before she undertakes it. Since her student days, she has had little interest in computer games.
"You should check out ’Military Road,’ it’s a highly realistic world," Lin Yi had just logged out from "Military Road" and couldn’t shake off the words Xianxian had said. In his inbox, there was also a new email from Xianxian. Judging from the emotionally-charged words and the time it was sent, she too had spent a sleepless night.
Lin Yi deleted that email; this is the nature of the virtual world – once you delete an email, no one, without specific technical means, will be able to find out about his secret communication with Xianxian.
Not Vice Admiral Lin, not Saint Father David; perhaps he should try Xianxian’s approach and create his own love in "Military Road", or like Octavian, create a kingdom of his own.
Lin Yi didn’t just summon Mo Xixi to ask about her experience with the game "Military Road."
"Can you help me find out where the servers for this game are located?" Unlike the disk that had been copied to the National Security Department, the now multi-national Military Network tested "Military Road" should have traceable origins. Its system maintenance servers could offer a breakthrough. Before this, Lin Yi had tried asking several top hackers from the National Security Department to track down the location of the servers without success.
Mo Xixi might not be the best hacker in the Rand Military District, but she has a unique trait that sets her apart from other intelligence officers – she was never systemically trained. Her tracking and hacking are completely unpredictable, and she might accomplish what others could not.
"No problem, but Major Lin, what’s the reward if I achieve this?" Though Mo Xixi wasn’t interested in "Military Road" itself, she was certainly interested in the reward for completing the task.
"What reward do you want?" Lin Yi found dealing with his female subordinates headache-inducing; each one of them was a skilled negotiator, exhibiting women’s inherent nature to the fullest.
"I’m not interested in military rank, but if I succeed, can you elevate my security clearance to access the database?" Mo Xixi was indifferent to military rank. The higher the rank, the more restrictions one must endure. In this regard, she was quite "content with her lot."
"Database? The national database?" Lin Yi recalled that even the security clearance for non-commissioned officers was at level C. With Mo Xixi’s special skills, she should easily be able to breach level B.
"I can only give you level B access," according to military region regulations, the rights granted by a superior to a subordinate must be lower than their own level. Lin Yi’s database access level was A, and for his work, he had accessed data from the national repository, which to most people would be meaningless.
"Level B is enough," Mo Xixi was satisfied. Once she reached level B, then much of level A and even level S wouldn’t be far out of reach. For Mo Xixi, the highly classified documents hanging in level S were like a juicy piece of meat dangling before her, tantalizing both her eyes and desires.

What Xia You did not expect was that the Military District Prison was located within the Rand Military District.
Just how vast is the Rand Military District? Xia You has been working at the National Security Department for almost two months, but only when she took the inter-district transporter did she realize that she’d only been active in a very small area of the Department.
The helipad she had seen during her time in "Military Road" was on the very outskirts of the military region, where military planes that transported daily supplies landed. Every kilometer, there would be a gateway, and there were three in total. The deeper into the region, the fewer the vehicles.
The daily work departments were all scattered along the periphery, while the communal facilities were concentrated on the second layer.
"The prison of the military region is set up in the innermost layer?" Xia You was surprised, in front of her appeared an administrative building of more than twenty stories. Xia You swore she had never noticed such a layer of building in the military region before. Upon closer inspection, the building’s surface gleamed with a layer of light-absorbing paint. It seemed that this building had undergone a special treatment like that of stealth coating for invisibility.
