In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

This historic video lasted quite a while, mainly because everyone hadn't been in touch for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about, and they chatted until late into the night.

Both sides were a little reluctant to part when they hung up. Fortunately, the base station has now been completed, so they no longer have to suffer the pain of longing for each other. They can chat whenever they want, including when Su Lin and the others will come and what preparations need to be made. These can all be discussed in detail later.

night.

Back at his residence, looking at the communication bracelet that could finally be used again, Xu Shi felt a little emotional.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't touched such high technology for so long that he suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Just then, the bracelet's communication function rang for the first time in a long while.

The person who called was Gu Yi.

"You miss me already?"

Xu Shi answered the call with a smile; it certainly seemed like something she would do.

"Dream on, I'm so happy I'm not being bullied by you."

Miss Black Rabbit adopted a haughty demeanor, "But I do have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

"Well... I forgot to tell you earlier, I tried using 'Ascension' a while ago, and now I'm an A-rank or even A+ rank 'Ascended'!"

"Would you like to know what my abilities are?"

"Do not want to."

Xu Shi's answer was concise and to the point.

"Hey, Xu Shi, you bastard!"

Gu Yi on the other end of the call visibly blushed. "I came to you out of kindness, and this is how you treat me?"

Warning warning!

"Oh~ It's clearly you who missed me too much, okay?"

Shameless Xu Da Guanren was determined to expose the little black rabbit's true colors, saying, "So it should be me who shows mercy... Why don't you hurry up and thank Chairman Xu?"

"You...you're driving me crazy! I didn't believe people before when they said men were fickle, but now I do!"

Enraged that her little scheme had been exposed, Gu Yi jumped up and down in a fit of rage, "You...you...you...you'll see how I deal with you!"

Come on, come on... Xu Shi laughed so hard he rolled on the floor. To be honest, he also missed Gu Yi, mainly because it wasn't as fun to bully anyone else as she was.

Shen Qin? Who's that? I don't know her... And to be honest, it should be called "training" instead. Besides, my dear sister is still unconscious and hasn't woken up yet, right?

But just as he was admiring Miss Black Rabbit's impotent rage, she suddenly reached out her hand to him.

Before he could react, he felt someone tap him on the head.

Ok?

Looking around, there was no one else, only Miss Gu Yi laughing heartily on the other side of the screen.

"Hehehe... Now you know how powerful I am, right? Hmm?"

Miss Black Rabbit said smugly, "Bad men who are fickle and easily bored deserve to be severely tortured!"

Oh ho?

Xu Shi blinked, quickly realizing the other party's new ability.

In layman's terms, this is like... hitting someone through the internet cable?

Holy crap, does this really exist?! I only found it funny when I read novels about it in my past life, I never imagined it could actually happen to me...

However, Xu Shi couldn't help but wonder about this. If his memory was correct, when Gu Yi's "data supercomputing" broke through to level A, the new ability that emerged should not be this. It should simply be a further deepening of the original ability, resulting in stronger personal focus.

That's why she had AI-like abilities in the original work... and now she's come up with something new?

Quite interesting.

However, upon reflection, he felt relieved. In the end, the current situation deviated from the original timeline by a significant margin. If we were to calculate it in terms of time, it probably wasn't even the day of his final battle with Shen He yet... It was already a completely different story.

Similarly, for Miss Black Rabbit, both her environment and her personality and development have undergone tremendous changes.

Under such circumstances, it's not impossible for her abilities to mutate... This thing is inherently related to one's own circumstances, even though he himself has gone much further, hasn't he? It's no longer the time to simply recite the original text.

So, upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem like something to worry about.

but.

That being said, that's no reason for some little devils to act recklessly with their new abilities, right?

then.

"Serves you right for deliberately provoking me, so I should give you a few more hits, hmph... Hey hey hey?"

Miss Black Rabbit was still immersed in the joy of turning the tables and becoming the master when she suddenly felt her wrist being grabbed and suspended in the air, unable to move.

Before she could react, she saw Xu Shi appear in front of her.

"Xu Shi, you..."

Seeing the bastard man so close to her, the little black rabbit was completely dumbfounded. "You, how could you..."

"What? You think it's so great to be able to hit people through the internet cable?"

Xu Shi grinned mischievously. "I heard someone was spouting nonsense just now, saying they were going to torture me severely?"

"No, you, how can you... I can't hold onto anyone like this..."

Gu Yi was too preoccupied to discuss such matters with him; she was rambling incoherently and had no idea what had happened.

Do you think you're the only one who's made progress during this period?

Xu Shi laughed happily; he never expected that his brilliant idea would actually come true.

He was able to do this thanks to his new ability, "Threshold Space".

Theoretically speaking, both "threshold space" and Gu Yi's new ability "consciousness datafication" are manifestations of one's own high mental strength, such as condensing it into a physical form... otherwise, how can you hit someone from a distance?

Even the effects are similar, namely, allowing one's consciousness, or to put it in a more fantastical way, the soul, to leave the body and enter a different dimension, and then do what one wants to do.

So he was just thinking, could he use his own abilities to fine-tune his skills and connect with Gu Yi on the same wavelength, so that they could have this peculiar meeting, like radio waves?

It turns out that it really is possible—of course, if he wanted, he could go even further and directly bring the other person into the "threshold space".

However, that might harm the little black rabbit's mental health, so he wouldn't actually do that; the Ethernet platform is just right.

"Yuan, is that so?"

When he said that, Gu Yi understood. To be honest, she knew about Xu Shi's new ability; he had mentioned it during their previous conversation. However, she never imagined that the ability could be used in this way, so she was never afraid at all.

Otherwise, how dare she flirt with Xu Shi like that?

Now look what happened: the little devil was making a scene online, only to get solo-killed offline—it's happened again...

This made Miss Black Rabbit almost cry.

Damn it, even before I evolved my abilities, I was already being manipulated by that bastard Xu. And now that I've evolved my abilities, I'm still being manipulated by him?

Then all my evolution of this ability was for nothing?!

"What, you're not convinced?"

Xu Shicai didn't spoil her and easily grabbed her ear.

That's how it should be—before you went to sea, Gu Yi, you were just a B-level "Upgrader," while I was already an A+ back then, okay?

So now that you've got an A+, what's wrong with me getting promoted to S or even S+? No problem!

"No, Chairman Xu, I was wrong..."

Gu Yi's speed in admitting defeat was as fast as ever; Pan Ling should learn from her in this respect... The most important thing is to get by by being cute and not be bullied. What is face? Can you eat it?

After all, although it was a mental capture, the pain was real. In the end, this world is not so fantastical. It may seem that the spirit has separated from the body, but in reality, it is not a complete severance. Especially when facing a being with high mental strength like Xu Shi, one can completely synchronize the sensations with reality.

Unfortunately, admitting defeat was useless. Adhering to the belief that "if you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles," Xu Shi still laid her horizontally on his lap and gave her a well-deserved spanking.

"Will you dare to do it again?"

Some people asked arrogantly.

"I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore, okay..."

Miss Black Rabbit rubbed her bottom, shaking her head with teary eyes.

"...It's enough that you know you were wrong."

Xu Shi stopped there, kissing her on the forehead. "But no matter what, you've made great progress, which is a good thing."

"Now you know how to say nice things?" Gu Yi grumbled indignantly, but she was actually quite happy inside.

Everyone knows that this bastard's specialty is slapping and then rubbing, but what's the use of knowing that? The fact is that everyone buys into it... It's not just the influence of his "entropy of malice" ability, but also his own control over the degree of his actions, which makes it impossible to hate him at all.

"Speaking of which, your ability is quite interesting. Have you done quite a few things like this?"

Xu smiled and thought it was interesting, so he took the opportunity to talk to her more.

"Of course, this ability is very useful!"

Miss Black Rabbit nodded vigorously and began to tell him in detail, "You have no idea how fun it was..."

The truth is, ever since she gained her new ability, she's been having a blast—she was already a top-tier hacker, and now she can use this ability to monitor and even spy on Night City without any restraint.

The high level of technology in Night City made it the perfect stage for her. With the help of Ethernet coverage, she could go anywhere she wanted with just a thought, and no one would even notice her. She wouldn't be noticed if she was being watched.

What's even more ingenious is that she can use "consciousness datafication" to discover many potential vulnerabilities or even viruses, thereby better solving these problems. This process, in turn, can hone her abilities, creating a wonderful virtuous cycle.

Of course, she had encountered tough opponents before. Xu Shi was one of them, and she had also suffered a loss with Grandpa Wen. Just as she was about to scare him, he noticed her and gave her a look that almost caused the little black rabbit to separate from its machine.

"Is there anything else going on?"

Xu Shi pressed for an answer.

"There are basically none left, but it's not like no one has noticed at all. But if they do notice, I just run away, and they can't catch me..."
