Shenhao Rebirth: From Dumped to Dominant

Chapter 8: Hacker Beauty Attempts to Scam Me?!

Late that night, Luo Tian sat in his beachfront villa’s master bedroom, scrolling through stock reports and property listings the system had auto-recommended.

“Tech stocks rising… Hmm, maybe I’ll invest tomorrow.”

Suddenly, a new ding echoed in his mind.

[Incoming Security Alert – Attempted Unauthorized System Access Detected!]

[Warning: Digital breach blocked by Shenhao Firewall Protocol.]

[Source traced: IP address – Tianhai University, Female Dormitory, Room 502.]

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow.

“Someone tried to hack the Shenhao System?”

He tapped a virtual window, and a live surveillance projection appeared.

On screen: a dimly lit dorm room. A girl sat cross-legged in a hoodie, laptop glowing with lines of green code. Her black hair was tied in a messy bun, glasses reflecting the monitor. Her fingers danced across the keyboard like a pianist.

Ye Linglong.

📎 System Alert:

[New Encounter Detected: Ye Linglong – Hacker Genius]

[Favorability: 0% (Hostile – Mistaken Identity)]

[Hidden Condition: If exposed, chance of romantic entanglement increases.]

[Mission: Confront the Hacker. Optional Reward: Charm +10, Skill: Cyber Defense Mastery]

Luo Tian smirked.

“A hacker tried to mess with the wrong guy.”

He stood up, grabbed his jacket, and tapped his phone.

“Let’s meet… Ms. Hacker.”

The Next Morning – Campus

In the university cafeteria, Luo Tian intentionally picked a seat near the tech department’s table.

And right on cue—Ye Linglong walked in.

Short, sharp, and confident, she carried her laptop under one arm, a lollipop in her mouth, and a glare that could kill.

He waved.

“Morning.”

She froze.

“...Do I know you?”

“You tried to. Last night. Through my firewalls.”

Her eyes widened slightly—but she quickly recovered.

“You’re mistaking me for someone else.”

Luo Tian leaned in slightly, whispering:

“IP: 10.26.3.55. Dorm Room 502. Your laptop’s using outdated encryption on port 443. Maybe upgrade your proxy next time?”

Her face changed instantly.

She stared at him like he was an alien. Then… she smiled.

“Who are you?”

“Let’s just say…” Luo Tian took a sip of his coffee, “someone you shouldn’t try to scam.”

She tilted her head, intrigued.

“So what system are you hiding that triggered seven of my worms to crash?”

“Classified,” he said. “But I’ll make you a deal.”

“Oh?”

“Lunch. You, me. You bring your laptop. I’ll show you something that’ll blow your mind.”

A pause.

Then—Ye Linglong grinned.

“Now you’re interesting.”

📎 System Notification:

[Ye Linglong Favorability: +12 → 12% (Intrigued)]

[Charm +3]

[Mini-Quest Activated: Impress Ye Linglong with Tech Supremacy – Reward: Advanced Coding Skill!]

Luo Tian didn’t just want revenge.

He wanted dominance—in every area of life.

Wealth. Status. Love. Power. Even the underworld of cyberspace.
