Chapter 27:
The viewers could no longer hold back. They were terrified Silver Wolf might refuse and frantically spammed the barrage to persuade her.
They were ordinary people—they couldn't bear to see such an incredible opportunity slip away.
{Silver Wolf wife, accept it quick! Ten million annual salary—just work a few years and you can lie flat forever.} {Yes! This job is what countless people dream of. If you refuse, it'll be such a regret.} {Young people should find stable work, not stream. You're so young and already cracked a virus that big internet companies couldn't touch—you're clearly a genius. If you put your mind to internet development, you could really become a legendary master.} {....}
Officer Liang Zhengxia couldn't help but speak up too: "Miss Silver Wolf, this really is a rare opportunity."
Tang Yu stayed silent. He simply watched Silver Wolf.
No matter what decision she made, he would support her.
"Thank you everyone, but I don't want to join any company for now," Silver Wolf replied with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, Chen Yang's brows furrowed deeply.
The reason he extended the olive branch to Silver Wolf was actually because of his own selfish motives.
If Silver Wolf accepted, he could bring her under his command. With such a capable subordinate, how could his future not be bright?
So when Silver Wolf refused, his mood turned extremely sour.
Still, he was a seasoned veteran. He didn't let his emotions show on his face. Instead, he tried again to persuade her earnestly: "Miss Silver Wolf, please reconsider. At your age, joining a big company is the best choice."
"I'm sure," Silver Wolf nodded, her tone firm and unshakable.
{Sigh! Why though? I really don't get it.} {Is this the difference between ordinary people and geniuses? Something others dream of getting, and she rejects it without hesitation.} {Such a pity… I feel bad for her, sigh!} {.....}
The viewers pounded their heads in frustration, unable to comprehend.
Tang Yu and Liang Zhengxia were also surprised. Neither expected Silver Wolf to refuse so decisively.
"The reason I'm refusing is because I don't want to be tied down. Streaming is much freer," Silver Wolf said, suddenly flashing a playful smile. She winked at the camera: "Don't you all want to keep seeing me?"
{Haha! Wife is right—let's just keep streaming!} {Hehe! Wife still loves us—happy!} {I was feeling sorry for wife earlier, but now I'm genuinely happy, hehe.} {....}
With just a few playful words, Silver Wolf instantly revived the atmosphere.
Liang Zhengxia and Chen Yang saw that her mind was made up and didn't press further.
After they ended the connections, Silver Wolf and Tang Yu continued streaming until 8 PM.
Only then did they say goodbye to the viewers.
{Wuwu… wife, we haven't seen enough. Can you stream a bit longer?} {Want more, want more.} {Can't bear to leave! Can't bear it!} {...}
Ignoring the viewers' pleas, Tang Yu decisively ended the stream.
He checked the backend stats.
The account had gained 200,000 followers.
This growth speed left him very satisfied.
And gift revenue had reached nearly one million yuan.
"I'm hungry. Take me to eat the food of your world?" Silver Wolf said from behind Tang Yu after he finished.
Tang Yu nodded and shut down the computer. "Wait a sec—I'll call and see if Hu Tao is back."
He pulled out his phone and dialed Hu Tao.
The call connected quickly.
"You back yet?"
"Almost."
"Then take a taxi straight to Shanghai Wanda. We'll meet there."
"What for?"
"Dinner. Also want to introduce you to a friend."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Tang Yu noticed Silver Wolf staring at him.
"Who's Hu Tao?" Silver Wolf pushed her sunglasses up slightly, eyes full of curiosity.
"Uh… a friend," Tang Yu said, pressing his lips together. He had no idea how to explain his relationship with Hu Tao to Silver Wolf.
After all, if maxing affection required that final "deep interaction" step… he was worried Silver Wolf might find out he'd already been intimate with Hu Tao.
If she didn't mind, fine. But if she got jealous and decided to castrate him on the spot… that would be disastrous.
Even though his body had been enhanced by the system and his strength had increased significantly— plus he now had Combat Mastery— Silver Wolf was still a character from Honkai: Star Rail. Her combat power must be terrifying.
Of course, the current Silver Wolf definitely hadn't fully recovered her strength— just like Hu Tao, she only had a portion of her original power.
Even so, Tang Yu had to tread carefully. Protecting his little brother was priority number one.
Seeing Tang Yu hesitate and stammer, Silver Wolf's look of curiosity deepened.
But she didn't press the question.
The two headed out and flagged down a taxi to Shanghai Wanda.
On the way, a system notification suddenly sounded in Tang Yu's mind.
{Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing Task 1. Reward: Hacker Skill LV9.}
"System, how strong is this skill?" Tang Yu mentally asked.
{Ding: As strong as Silver Wolf. In this world, you two can invade the computers of any country.}
Hiss!
Tang Yu couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Invading any country's computers—what kind of concept was that?
It basically gave him the power of life and death over other nations.
After all, most modern nuclear weapons were controlled by computers.
If he hacked their defense systems and made their nukes detonate on their own soil… it would be pure catastrophe.
"Hehe… if Sakura Country gets out of line later, I'll just hack their nukes," Tang Yu suddenly thought.
But it was just a fleeting idea.
Nuclear bombs were devastating. An explosion would kill countless innocent civilians.
Something like that… he couldn't bring himself to do.
Lost in wild thoughts, the driver stopped the car.
"Young man, we're here," the driver said to Tang Yu—though his eyes kept drifting toward Silver Wolf beside him.
Not because the driver was a bad person. Just basic male instinct.
After all, Silver Wolf's legs were way too fair and slender.
Tang Yu's mouth twitched. He naturally noticed the driver's gaze.
He glared at the driver, then took Silver Wolf's hand to get out.
The next moment, he immediately let go of her hand.
Because Hu Tao was standing not far away, staring straight at them.
"How do I explain this to Hu Tao?" Tang Yu's mind buzzed.
But as they approached Hu Tao, he froze in shock.
Because Hu Tao and Silver Wolf were actually…
