You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 1
Chapter 1: System, Activate The Cave!
China, Northeast China.
In a certain unnamed deep mountain and forests, there is a spatial node directly leading to the Daojian Sect.
Inside the Daojian Sect, Su Qin’an was lying on the bed, boredly playing with his cell phone.
“…This phenomenon, once discovered, quickly attracted the attention of all sectors of society. Even MacArthur, a five-star reviewer far away in the USA, said…”
“Snap! ”
“Damn! ”
Su Qin’an sat up, rubbed his brow which had been hit by the cell phone, looked at the cell phone beside him, and suppressed the countless curses in his heart.
After all, it cost more than five thousand yuan, so cherish it!
“Detecting that Uncle Sam is about to launch a military strike against the host’s nation, a quest is now issued. ”
The sudden voice startled Su Qin’an.
“Goodness, System, you’re not dead? I thought you were gone after so long without a sound…”
Three months ago, Su Qin’an had just woken up after a nap when he heard a voice in his mind telling him that he had unlocked the System.
At that time, besides being surprised, he had also asked many times what the System was for and what its use was.
But the System only said, “You have activated,” and nothing else, which made Su Qin’an very depressed for a while.
Ignoring him, the System said to itself: “Dual cultivate with Saintess Xie Yingqing, raise your cultivation base to Condensation Core Fourth Stage, and obtain the reward of top-tier Hacker Technology （which can evolve）. ”
“Uncle Sam is about to launch a military strike against China? ” Su Qin’an asked doubtfully, “Dare they? ”
After all, China today is no longer the China that could be bullied at will. Not long ago, during negotiations with Uncle Sam, a diplomat had powerfully declared, “You are not qualified to negotiate with China from the perspective of strength. ”
“Uncle Sam, together with its domestic Cultivation Faction and Japan, etc., is attempting to annex China in one fell swoop and then advance globally. ”
The System said, “Please have the Host complete the quest as soon as possible. Uncle Sam’s military strike will be launched on the fifth of next month. If the Host fails to complete the above quest within a week, this System will automatically disappear, and the Host will also be erased. ”
“Damn! Forced buying and selling! ” Su Qin’an cried out in pain, “Okay, okay, I’ll go… wait, dual cultivation? Is that what I think it means? ”
Although this… Xie Yingqing is his girlfriend, but…
Both of them are not even eighteen yet, isn’t it a bit too early?
The System’s voice clearly stuttered for a moment, and after a few seconds, it slowly spoke, “You… besides yellow waste in your brain, what else is there? ”
“Can you blame me! It’s clearly because you didn’t explain clearly! ” Su Qin’an said righteously, “Next time, explain clearly, okay? Forget it, I have to go on the quest! ”
Lingchu Pavilion, Xie Yingqing’s residence.
Xie Yingqing, dressed in white, was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating and cultivating. Her black hair cascaded behind her, and the sunlight from outside the window slanted in, making the girl even more dreamlike and beautiful.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Yingqing frowned slightly and went to open it. Upon seeing Su Qin’an outside the door, her slightly furrowed brow immediately unfolded into a light smile.
“Why, Su, True Disciple, do you have time to visit this humble servant today? ”
Su Qin’an smiled, “Saintess Xie says that, making it seem like I rarely come! ”
“So why did you come? ” Xie Yingqing pulled Su Qin’an into the room and asked, “Do you have any good things for me? ”
“Nothing, can’t I just come to cultivate with you? ” Su Qin’an said, “I’m currently at Condensation Core Triple Stage, and I’ll be able to break through to the Fourth Stage soon. Can you cultivate with me? ”
“It’s not impossible…” Xie Yingqing looked at Su Qin’an with a smile, “It’s just that, the incense in my room is almost used up…”
“No problem! I’ll buy a carload and have them delivered by express right now! ”…
…
Three days later, in Xie Yingqing’s room, Su Qin’an listened to the voice in his mind, his lips slightly upturned.
His cultivation base had broken through to Condensation Core Fourth Stage, and he had also completed the System’s quest.
“Quest completed, receiving reward: top-tier Hacker Technology （which can evolve）. ”
Instantly, a torrent of information poured into Su Qin’an’s mind like a tide, making him feel a headache.
“Detected quest completion, issuing next phase quest. ”
“Given that Uncle Sam will join forces with its domestic Cultivation Faction to launch a military strike against China, the new quest is: inform the Chinese Authorities of this news. Reward: Nanolithography Machine Manufacturing Technology. ”
Su Qin’an felt a surge of joy: It’s like someone sent a pillow when I was sleepy! I was just thinking how to tell the Authorities about Uncle Sam, and now here’s the quest!
But directly sending an email definitely wouldn’t work, at least other evidence is needed.
As for where the evidence comes from…
Didn’t I just get such powerful Hacker Technology? What am I doing not using it?
Su Qin’an opened his eyes, just about to return to his room to hack into Uncle Sam’s intranet and get the evidence, when he saw clear bright eyes in front of him.
“Awake? ”
Xie Yingqing sat beside Su Qin’an, staring into his eyes.
“You…”
Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing looked at each other for a moment, then quickly looked away, his ears beginning to redden. He mumbled softly, “Wh… what are you doing? Do I have a flower on my face? ”
“Just admiring our Su, True Disciple’s handsome face! ” Xie Yingqing still looked at Su Qin’an, “You know, I have such good taste, to have fallen for…”
“Cough, Yingqing, calm down first! ”
Su Qin’an felt that if Xie Yingqing continued like this, his face would really not be able to hold up, “That, I’m going back first! ”
“Alright, I’m going out tomorrow, are you coming? ” Xie Yingqing asked.
“No, I need to consolidate my cultivation. ”
Su Qin’an shook his head, “I’m not like our Saintess Xie, who casually cultivates to Condensation Core Fifth Stage! ”
“You’re the only one who can say that! ”
Xiaoxuan Pavilion, Su Qin’an took out his laptop and began the great action of hacking into the external network to search for Uncle Sam’s evidence.
Although this was his first time doing this kind of work, with the top-tier Hacker Technology given by the System, various kinds of hacker technologies naturally appeared in his mind, giving him the illusion that as long as the hardware supports it, he is the only god in the cyber world!
The antique-style room, paired with Su Qin’an’s state-of-the-art laptop, and a long electrical wire beside him, looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
“This must be Uncle Sam’s IP! ”
Su Qin’an sneered, “Let the people of the world admire your deeds! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, only the sound of keyboard tapping remained in the room.
…
Five minutes later, the White House Cybersecurity Department’s alarm bells rang loudly.
“Who dares to attack the White House network! Do you want to die?!”
A white official roared, “Everyone, get to work! Be sure to find this person’s address! I want him to die without a burial place! ”
For a time, the entire Cybersecurity Department was filled with the sound of keyboard tapping.
…
China, a certain group chat.
Fanjian’s Life: Brothers, did you see? Uncle Sam’s network is under attack!
Dongli: Huh? What? I’ll go check it out now!
Huaxing: Wow! It’s true! Brothers, get on the machines!
Dongli: Brothers! I don’t know which Big Shot can’t stand Uncle Sam anymore, they’re attacking their White House website right now!
Sansheng Bujian: It’s true! I’m getting on the machine first, you guys continue!
Huaxing: Getting on +1
Fanjian’s Life: Getting on +1
Dongli: Getting on +1
Their identities are diverse. There are kindergarten teachers, white-collar workers, university professors, famous chefs from restaurants, and even several college students.
But at this moment, without exception, they all put down their work, found a secluded place where no one was around, opened their computers, and activated their other identities.
