After 19 hours of verification, the technical department confirmed the two spies were indeed spies and immediately handed them over to the National Security Bureau. An arrest plan was arranged that very night, and the two were apprehended in an urban village 17 hours later.

The two spies, unaware of how they were exposed, insisted they had arrested the wrong people. It wasn't until the security bureau released the data, including the correlation between bank accounts, chat logs, clothing purchases, and surveillance footage, that the decisive evidence emerged.

The two spies initially suspected the other of leaking their information, then suspected an internal mole within the organization. Unfortunately, they were unable to send the message out, and faced with the surveillance video showing the deployment of biological agents, they had no way to refute the claims.

The National Security Bureau transferred the surveillance video to the National Security Bureau, much to the relief of Li Guofeng, who was under immense pressure. This was because his recent actions of driving crocodile whales into international waters had drawn criticism from various countries, who subsequently launched public opinion campaigns accusing Dongda University of releasing biological viruses.

[Li Guofeng reported the video and other materials showing the spies releasing biological agents. That same afternoon, a department angrily denounced the foreign countries for turning the tables, and international public opinion instantly reversed.]

[Multiple government departments had long suspected the espionage activities involving biological agents; this is the first time the evidence is conclusive. Therefore, a special team has been established to rigorously investigate the transport of biological agents at various checkpoints, and personnel have been deployed to patrol forests and wastelands.]

[XY detected that the video had been taken down, and quickly released a third video, focusing on bank statements to avoid violations. It quickly garnered 109 million views, with netizens in the comments section urging it to disclose the bank assets of corrupt officials nationwide.]

The video was taken down again an hour later, but it caught the attention of many high-ranking officials. Many couldn't sleep that night, and 3562 people, unable to withstand the psychological pressure, voluntarily surrendered themselves the next day, confessing to their embezzlement and bribery.

The IT department worked through the night to track XY's account IP address, dismantling 106 botnets, but still couldn't find any specific information. Therefore, they issued a technical alert and invited top experts from across the country to join the investigation.

[Under their surveillance, XY released a fourth video, which was an untitled video showing the deployment of a special creature. However, the video was blocked immediately after its release. Despite the best efforts of technical experts, they were still unable to trace the real IP address of the infected device. They concluded that this was a top-tier overseas hacking team aiming to incite public sentiment, and therefore decided to ban all infected device IP addresses and Douyin accounts.]

[XY registered a second account and posted a fifth video, which contained chat logs and coded messages between the spy's superiors and subordinates. The technical department banned the account again and mobilized more than 7,000 hackers to peel back the layers of the botnet like an onion.]

[XY registered a third account and posted a sixth image and video, but the technical department still couldn't find the real device IP. Everyone was on high alert. The founders of major online platforms heard the news and were so scared that they called their employees overnight to ask them to temporarily disable the registration function...]

3. It didn't cause you any actual trouble.

Are these two stubborn mules locked in a battle of wills?

Roy was both pleased and speechless.

The good news is that XY is so powerful that it can stand up to the entire technology department on its own.

What's frustrating is that it just wouldn't stop; it kept registering accounts and posting revealing videos, scaring major platforms into shutting down their registration functions.

If this continues, something terrible is likely to happen; many people are so scared they can't sleep.

Luo Yi checked the program page and flipped to the task command he had just received.

The cause was quickly found.

He asked XY to register an account and post the exposé video, adding an extra requirement: to let more people see it.

This requirement can be large or small.

XY must have been interpreted as "the more the better," which is why it went on and on.

Luo Yi pulled out a chair, sat down, and began typing on the keyboard:

"I'm now adding these conditions as the highest priority. All tasks I give you from now on must adhere to these conditions."

Condition 1: Avoid escalating the impact and avoid attracting the attention of government departments as much as possible.

"Condition Two: If you discover any trace of government surveillance, you must immediately erase all evidence and report the situation to me. Only after receiving my instructions should you proceed to the next step."

"Condition 3: If the probability of you being tracked by someone exceeds 60%, you must report to me immediately."

XY quickly replied: "Received! I have set these conditions to the highest level, and they will be given priority when executing the task."

Luo Yi consulted the omniscient system again to confirm that the situation would not escalate before shutting down the computer, locking the door, and leaving.

The XY smart program runs on a server, so it doesn't affect operation even if the user's phone or computer is turned off.

When needed, you can open your phone and assign tasks just like sending a WeChat message.

Arriving at a small room on the third floor of the villa, Luo Yi unlocked the door and went inside, walking to the box made of dough.

"To achieve level 4 physique, you need leopard fire ants, and this one comes in handy."

"The medicinal herbs and morning dew have been distributed; all that remains are the special biological blood essence and the water-soaked ores."

Luo Yi looked at the leopard-print fire ants in the dough and started to make plans in his mind.

These three special creatures are the crocodile whale, the pangolin turtle, and the wolf-tailed boar.

He had caught pangolin turtles before, and the National Security Bureau had them in stock. He could exchange them for blood essence using points.

Besides that, he also remembered a captain who had caught a wolf-tailed boar.

If I can exchange for both of these, the only special creature I'm missing is the crocodile whale.

In terms of materials, only one type of water-soaked ore has not yet been arranged.

"I didn't expect to get the materials for level 4 physique so quickly."

Luo Yi was overjoyed.

The plan is to get the water-soaked ore over first.

Finally, go to the National Special Bureau to exchange for special biological blood essence, and while you're at it, capture the crocodile whale.

He had looked up information about water-soaked ore, which is basically a special type of ore that has been soaked in a water-permeable area for a long time and is extremely hard.

However, what he is digging now is not an ordinary seepage area, but the seepage area under the thousand-year-old tree.

To put it simply, it's the water-absorbing point of the roots of an ancient tree that's thousands of years old.

Luo Yi didn't want to look for that ginkgo tree anymore, so he used the Omniscient System to ask about other ancient trees that met the criteria.

Not to mention the world, there are quite a few in China as well.

Excluding the protected ancient trees, there are two trees in the forest that are left unattended.

Please recommend a suitable mining company and provide detailed information.

"Condition 1: I can contact you now and I am willing to accept small individual orders."

"Condition 2: The closer to the thousand-year-old cypress tree in Zhouzhuang Mountain, the better."

"Condition 3: The company and team have leading technology, good credit, no unexpected problems in cooperation, and no history of gossip or leaks."

This issue is expected to take 33 seconds.

The search for "Recommended mining companies..." has been completed.

[Zhoushan Mining Company: Located 36.2 kilometers from the thousand-year-old cypress tree in Zhouzhuang Mountain, we specialize in high-difficulty mining operations. Currently, order volumes are low, but we are beginning to accept some individual orders. We possess industry-leading equipment and a top-notch team… Contact address is… Contact phone number is…]

"As long as the skills are up to par, I can take individual orders."

Luo Yi took out his spare phone, entered a number, and dialed the number.

"Hello, who is this?"

As soon as the call connected, a loud voice came from the other end, accompanied by the roar of machinery.

Luo Yi said, "Hello, I saw your GG (Girlfriend) profile. It says you can take on personal mining jobs?"

"That's right! The economy is bad right now, there are no orders, and the machines are just sitting idle anyway, so what's the harm in doing them? What's your name, boss? Do you want us to drill holes for wells, or dig through mountains to build roads?"

"My surname is Shi. I'd like you to mine the waterlogged ore under that thousand-year-old cypress tree in Zhouzhuang Mountain. How much will it cost?"

Luo Yi initially wanted to say he was digging for something else, but then he thought there was no need to hide it, because this thing was very common and could be found in every seepage area. Who knew what purpose the things under the thousand-year-old tree might serve?

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then walked to a quiet spot and chuckled, "The boss isn't joking, is he?"

"I'm serious. How much? Give me a quote."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then the person on the other end said:

"Water-soaked ore is usually found in very deep places. Underneath that thousand-year-old cypress tree, the roots are all intertwined. If we go all the way down, we'd have to kill the ancient tree. The amount of work would be too much, and it's illegal too."
