The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"How dare you hit me?!"

"My face hurts so much!"

"I'm going to sue... *smack!*"

Another slap landed, and the pain from the swelling on both sides of Eve's face finally brought her to the horror of reality.

Lu Qianwei wiped his hands and said in a calm yet cruel tone, "I've changed my mind now."

"Whoever tells me where the Eternal Source Code is first, I'll let them live."

Lu Qianwei pointed at the two of them as if he were inspecting troops, continuing to exert pressure without any emotion.

"So...who among you doesn't want to live?"

Chapter 217 Ready Player One

Having gained the upper hand, Lu Qianwei and his group obtained the Hengjiu source code plugged into the computer with almost no effort.

Of course, he kept his promise and shot Eve, leaving only Seth, who had survived the ordeal but was somewhat insane, lying in the snow after the quiz.

Lu Qianwei glanced at the person on the ground, too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Since he had started, he should go all the way.

Anyway, he won't be staying in this world for long, and it's not even in China, so what's the point of talking about the law?

After ordering the soldiers to take away the readily available reality printing projection device one by one.

They went to the city center and carried out a major cleanup of Incom and Dillinger.

The snow and ice on the Alaskan ice fields had not yet melted when the airship carrying the entire armored force broke through the high-altitude clouds of North America and sped toward the bustling city center.

Lu Qianwei stood in front of the airship's porthole, lightly tapping the air with his fingertips. The sixteen armored vehicles were divided into two teams. One team headed straight for the Dilinger Technology headquarters, the tallest building in the city center, while the other team went straight for the Yingkang Group building, which was adjacent to the business district.

The airship was in stealth mode, with no roaring engine noise, so neither company realized that someone had hacked into their company.

After all, it had only been an hour since the physical internet and power outages occurred.

Thousands of white-collar workers, technicians, and security personnel are still busy, even investigating and searching for moles within the company.

Without any warning or indication, the headquarters of Dillinger Technology was the first to lose signal.

All fiber optic links in the entire building were forcibly severed by stealthy drones using pulses of light.

The external base station and wireless signal transmitter were rendered useless instantly, and the building's internal network, external network, and backup emergency network were all paralyzed.

The screen suddenly went black, the office computers all crashed, the surveillance cameras started flashing static, and the internal intercom system completely stopped working.

The entire building was completely isolated from the world, becoming a closed information island.

Just as all the company employees were once again startled by what happened, eight powered armored vehicles crashed through the windows and landed, smashing through the high-rise glass curtain wall with tremendous force. Their heavy alloy feet slammed onto the polished marble office floor, producing a dull, deafening roar.

A black and red steel giant stood in the office area, its cold cannon muzzle sweeping across the entire area. A chilling warning emanated from inside the mech: "All personnel are prohibited from moving!"

"Put your hands behind your head and crouch down on the spot!"

"Do not touch any electronic devices or storage devices!"

"No talking, calling for help, or recording!"

"Those who violate this rule will be apprehended on the spot!"

Hey, if you didn't know better, you'd think the company's assets belonged to them.

"Shhhhhh!"

When the gunshot that could melt through the building rang out right in front of you, the screams that were loud enough to shatter glass were incredibly loud.

"Shut up!"

The soldier paid no heed to these ugly creatures with their brightly painted faces and slapped them across the face.

Well, the bloody scene of things bursting open made them scream even louder.

Only after the soldiers killed dozens more people did the pale-faced company dogs shut up and obediently crouch down with their heads in their hands.

Eight people naturally cannot control so many people, but they all have special spatial rings, so one person can easily form an army.

More ruthless and efficient mechanical soldiers, drones, and mechanical dogs advance in small teams, clearing and controlling each layer one by one.

From the top-level executive offices and the middle-level R&D department to the bottom-level administrative areas and security control rooms, all on-duty personnel were driven away one by one and gathered together in the spacious lobbies on each floor of the building.

Soldiers and machines prioritize efficiency, and they don't have much time to spare.

Therefore, in the face of absolute force, ordinary people are left with only endless fear and compromise.

After that, there was nothing more to say; a group of grinning traitors were the first to bow and scrape.

They were led into the technical archives, the confidential database, the secret underground laboratory, and even physically isolated, unknown materials.

In just forty minutes, the two extreme looting sprees that spanned the city center came to a complete end.

All encrypted hard drives, mobile storage media, experimental USB flash drives, technical manuscripts, and chips from both companies were collected and stored together.

Even the physical hardware and equipment were ruthlessly dismantled by the engineering robots and stored inside the space, leaving no mechanical hardware behind.

It's so moving that it could bring tears to the eyes of gamers.

Lu Qianwei looked at the teleportation device that allowed a real human body to connect to the 'digital world' and felt very satisfied.

I wonder if placing a portal between these two worlds would truly enable bidirectional travel between two dimensions and three dimensions?

emm~

This idea is both wonderful and dangerous.

His intuition told him that doing so might cause the two-dimensional world to collapse.

"Tsk, back to the party, back to the party!"

No longer wanting to think about such trivial matters, Lu Qianwei waved his hand, quickly took away the two teams of soldiers, and then left.

As for where to go?

Of course, he went to pack up and take Kevin and his family away, and he even extended the time for this purpose.

This is the only way to confirm that Kevin, the God of the Internet, is still hiding in the Creation World and force him to show himself.

This old man is clearly addicted to being a higher-dimensional being; he doesn't even want to come out of reality.

What other options does Lu Qianwei have?

The invasion and capture of the interstellar digital world created by Xi Gang has caused disharmony.

He took it away physically.

No matter how angry the old man is, taking his family to another parallel world will give him something to look forward to.

If the other party has nothing to lose and isn't afraid of those wearing shoes, it wouldn't be good to cause them any trouble online.

Who are you people?!

Sam Flynn was both frustrated and terrified by the sudden appearance of armored soldiers and airships.

Damn it, who would have thought?

They're enjoying company stock dividends and living a shameless life, and they're having a picnic with their families out of sheer boredom—they're going to be wiped out.

Oh, right, and his grandfather is in the digital world, so that doesn't count as a total wipeout either.

It wasn't until Lu Qianwei gestured for them to move that he said, "On behalf of Mr. Kevin, I would like to ask you two to move."

Well, they've really been wiped out.

Faced with the menacing muzzle of a gun, the family had nothing to say but to obediently raise their hands and move away with tears in their eyes.

"Hehe, the timing is just right."

Standing in front of the time portal, Lu Qianwei glanced at the time on the terminal.

As he was about to step into his home, he asked again, "By the way, Xihe, did you do what I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, sir. I've sent this world of China a complete set of technical data and production equipment covering the period from 2000 to 2150!"

"Given their current size and technological accumulation, they will inevitably reach space by 2060."

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly, stepped into the time portal, and completely severed ties with this world.

There's not much to say. Although he didn't take the other person with him when they took off, he would still help if he could.

Whether it's worth it or not, whether anyone knows or not, he'll do it.

After all, who wouldn't want to see their homeland continue to prosper?

.........

While Chuangjie Network is less of a two-dimensional digital world, it can actually be viewed as a game-like world.

When a realistic physics engine can be implemented on the network, it really is not much different from reality.

Of course, it's impossible to say there's no difference.

Even with the administrator's permissions, the two-dimensional physical rules can still be modified.

However, compared to games with realistic physics engines, the digital world still has some differences.

Its underlying architecture is in the original program written by Kevin using the eternal source code, in which the essence of all matter and living beings has undergone some subtle changes.

The source of life, which represents life, miraculously appeared in some data people!

Even though it's tiny, the matter, energy, and information represented by the source matter truly tell you that they have their own unique bodies, consciousness, and memories.

The Source Institute cannot refute this point!

However, Lu Qianwei didn't want to bother with such trivial matters; he'd rather let them bother Kevin, who had been exposed.

He continued his time-traveling adventure.

And it's unclear whether it's because of the acquisition of two- and three-dimensional transformation technologies.

The world he entered this time was a game world with an extremely advanced network, even somewhat obsessive.

The world is not so special.

However, the connection between reality and virtuality is so extreme that most people spend most of their daily lives in a holographic online game called 'Oasis'.
