Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#435 - Easy to get

Midnight approached~

New York City was still brightly lit at this hour.

However, even in the most developed cities, there are always corners that the light cannot reach.

It was under these circumstances that Liang Yue drew a circle in the void and stepped onto the rooftop of Hammer Industries.

Looking around, the night air was filled with cold breezes, and the faint sound of sirens could occasionally be heard.

Standing in the shadows of a high platform, Liang Yue silently injected spiritual power into his eyes, and the Hammer office building, dozens of stories below, instantly became transparent.

The originally dazzling cyan-green light flames were concealed by the facial disguise, revealing no sharpness or abnormality.

Everything proceeded silently~

Soon, in just one or two breaths, Liang Yue had already locked onto Ivan Vanko's location.

Looking down below at Ivan Vanko, who was chewing on a toothpick and concentrating on typing on the keyboard late at night, the corners of Liang Yue's mouth curved slightly.

In the next moment, his entire being instantly blurred.

Then, like a phantom ghost, he slowly descended.

The solid reinforced concrete walls offered no resistance whatsoever!

This was one of the abilities awakened by the Tenseigan in Liang Yue's previous Naruto world ~ 《Intangibility》!

After using this ability, even space could be traversed smoothly, freely traveling between various adjacent alternate dimensions. Naturally, these small walls were no obstacle!

Soon, he had passed through layers of ceilings and quietly arrived behind Ivan.

The area in front of him was more like a semi-enclosed dark room than a regular room.

Besides a thick iron door, there wasn't even a window.

The interior layout also appeared very simple, or rather, concise.

Apart from a well-configured computer, there was almost no decent furniture.

At this moment, Ivan Vanko was reclining on an office chair with his legs crossed, wholeheartedly immersed in the program development in front of him.

A pile of finished lunch boxes was placed in the wastepaper basket at his feet, and a can of beer was placed not far from his hand.

Ivan was completely unaware of Liang Yue's arrival.

Before coming, Liang Yue had already instructed Xiaowu to cover all the surveillance facilities in the room.

As his exclusive intelligent optical brain, Xiaowu's functions themselves have some rigid restrictions, and cannot blatantly break the rules of law.

But in fact, rules are something that has loopholes.

Sometimes, how the various laws and regulations are written is one thing, but how they are interpreted is another.

It's all about interests.

Otherwise, how could the lawyer industry in the United States be so popular?

The existence of the intelligent brain Xiaowu, in the final analysis, is to help Liang Yue better deal with some trivial matters in life, making his daily life more convenient.

At this time, it cannot directly break through the framework of the law and copy back the programs and various data that Ivan is developing.

But if Liang Yue himself comes forward and artificially adds a few extra steps to the originally simple and direct hacking action.

Xiaowu is only responsible for a few of the segmented details.

Then, all of this can work.

For example, Liang Yue is now only asking Xiaowu to cover up the surrounding surveillance cameras, replacing them with footage from a few minutes ago.

This behavior itself is not illegal, or rather, it is in a gray area.

For example, when Liang Yue wants to copy technical data from Ivan's computer later, he can temporarily shield Xiaowu's intelligent management state and simply use it as a super storage disk.

Then this matter itself will be regarded by Xiaowu as the personal behavior of Liang Yue, the host, and there is no supervision and accountability mechanism at all.

For example, when Liang Yue interrogates Ivan later and obtains relevant information.

Liang Yue is the one who breaks the law, not his intelligent optical brain~

And afterwards, when he gets the technical data he wants, Xiaowu copies and replicates this information from someone's brain.

The ownership of these things has already been changed to Liang Yue himself~

So, in this whole process, it seems that only a few intermediate links have been added, but the original illegal operation has become feasible… …

Therefore, under such convenient conditions.

With the cooperation of Liang Yue's powerful strength.

Plus, with the relevant intervention of someone's soul interrogation talent derived from the Ōtsutsuki bloodline.

Everything proceeded silently… …

… …

Half an hour later, Liang Yue returned to his manor with a circle.

"Not powerful enough~"

"I originally wanted to have a gunfight or something, but as a result, I came back unknowingly. Ivan Vanko probably didn't notice anything at all~"

"I also want to have a fight, but my strength really doesn't allow it… …"

Back in his room, it took about five minutes. Liang Yue had just turned on the computer and looked at the hot news.

Xiaowu had already sorted out the copied technical data.

Then, Liang Yue submitted the task, and the system's prompt sound followed~!

"… …Task rewards have been distributed, please pay attention to check."

"Ding~! According to the host's current real environment, the second stage system task 《Technology Core》 is specially issued, based on the Ark Reactor, applied to specific technological practice."

"Task requirements: Initially create technological tools or facilities with utilization value."

"Task rewards: One random technology-oriented lottery permission, 5,000 mall points, the task rewards will fluctuate depending on the technological content of the results submitted by the host."

… …

"That is to say, 5,000 points is just the basic salary, right?"

"Got it~!"

After reading the task information sent by the system, Liang Yue immediately had a bottom line in his mind.

"However, this second stage task is a bit interesting, one ring interlocking with another~"

"When we get to the back, won't you still ask me to develop a spaceship or something?"

"It seems that always staying in one corner like this is not a good thing."

"I have to recruit people!"

"Speaking of which, those Transformers or something, should they have quietly come to Earth by now?"

"According to the timeline of the plot, Bumblebee and the others seem to have come during World War II~"

"Looking at it this way, Megatron should have been frozen for nearly a hundred years at the Hoover Dam."

Thinking of this, Liang Yue's thoughts couldn't help but become active.

In the past, he didn't seem to have much willingness to take care of the trivial matters in the real world. Apart from his classmates, family, and friends, he would hardly take the initiative to take on things.

The plot moves forward, and he will move along with it.

The current situation may have to change somewhat.

After all, regarding the issue of technology research and development, he cannot only rely on Xiaowu, an intelligent optical brain.

The current system task is only a beginning, and perhaps there will be more such things in the future.

Therefore, Liang Yue needs to prepare for it early~ … …
