26: Do a big job

“Host, this technology is the latest from Xiao Yinghua Technology Institute, and it is highly valued and closely watched. The System needs to remind you that if you choose to steal this technology now, there will be a great risk.”

“If you want to complete it without risk, you need to purchase a System service to help the Host disguise his identity. Preliminary calculations show it will cost one hundred national treasure value, and the national treasure value obtained from completing the mission is also one hundred. For you, it’s not cost-effective.”

Lin Yang frowned. The System’s identity disguise was a type of System service. When he stole the photolithography machine from Netherlands before, because it was his first mission, the System didn’t charge him, but he didn’t expect the fee to be so high.

“One hundred national treasure value just to disguise my identity? Isn’t that a bit of a rip-off?” Lin Yang couldn’t help but complain, trying to haggle.

“Respected Host, the fee for identity disguise will fluctuate based on the difficulty. Because this technology is currently receiving worldwide attention, the price is relatively high.”

The System explained.

“Alright, then help me disguise it.” Lin Yang said no more.

“Host, are you sure? If you are sure you want to steal this mission, after calculating the profit and expenditure, your profit for completing this mission will be zero. Please confirm!”

“Confirmed!” Lin Yang confirmed without hesitation.

Are you kidding me?

Let alone zero profit, even if he had to pay out of his own pocket, he would do it without hesitation!

This was a great opportunity to thoroughly disgust Sakura!

It’s just that there’s no profit. I believe any Shangxia person would know what to do!

And from another perspective, if the expenditure and profit are exactly equal, doesn’t that mean a free opportunity to deal with Sakura?

He saw the Netizens’ comments under that hot search. Stealing the data from the spokesman’s computer at a critical moment would definitely disgust Sakura to death!

Yes, that’s right.

Lin Yang didn’t plan to steal the original draft and backup data.

For a technological breakthrough of this magnitude, the original resources and backups were probably too numerous to count. He couldn't get all of them.

What's more, even if he got all of them, as long as the Experts from Xiao Yinghua Technology Institute weren't dead, they could re-record everything.

So he decided to follow the Netizens’ suggestion and make the spokesman’s data disappear.

At this kind of technology summit, the spokesman needs to immediately provide some technical data to the outside world.

This is a worldwide rule.

To promote worldwide technological progress, any country that voluntarily holds such a technology summit must unconditionally provide some data on newly breakthrough technologies to participating personnel, so as to help other Countries make breakthroughs in technology.

It is precisely because of this rule that technology summits attract many countries to participate, and even some hostile countries send people to attend.

Almost no country opposes this.

Because providing data does not strictly require providing important data; only a portion of ordinary data is needed.

This has little impact, and it also allows one’s country to show off greatly, so this rule has been widely accepted.

After all, if you don't offer some benefits, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to another country just to watch you show off!

The high-level officials of various countries also understood this principle, so over time, it became an increasingly tacit understanding.

As for Lin Yang, since he couldn't make all the data disappear, he might as well let them lose face badly during the press conference.

Having one's computer network invaded on the spot at a technology summit is tantamount to a slap in the face, and it will definitely make Sakura lose face terribly!

As for destroying the shrine?

Lin Yang planned to do that after the technology summit.

If he destroyed the shrine first, it would undoubtedly make Sakura heighten their vigilance, and if the System charged extra for it, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Anyway, the technology summit is only two days away, so there's no rush.

“Announcing a technological breakthrough and then holding a summit two days later, they’re really in a hurry!”

Lin Yang glanced at the time and place of the event, and couldn't help but curse again.

Because, according to previous technology summits, preparations usually take several months.

However, Sakura is holding the summit in just two days, which shows how eager they are to demonstrate their power to Shangxia and immediately become the leader of the East Continent!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry!

“Truly a mere Little Countries, showing small-mindedness everywhere. They can’t even wait a few months. It seems they truly want to see Shangxia’s humiliation.”

Lin Yang also somewhat understood why Sakura was so hastily rushing to hold the summit.

The two countries can be said to have a long-standing feud, and Sakura definitely hopes to see the ugly expressions on the faces of the people from Shangxia.

How does that saying go?

Tell us your unhappiness, and let everyone be happy!

Sakura is now in a similar state of mind: speaking of their happiness to annoy others!

“Let them be proud for two more days!”

Afterward, Lin Yang no longer paid much attention to the news.

He didn’t plan to waste these two days either. It was his first time in Sakura, and he wanted to see if he could complete the task of artifact repatriation during these two days.

Sakura did a lot of bad things on the Shangxia land back then.

Artifacts should not be scarce there!

Indeed, that was the case!

When he proposed to detect artifacts, the System quickly informed him that there were twenty-six places in the entire Dong Du City where artifacts existed!

Aside from two official museums, the rest were basically famous clans and wealthy families of Sakura!

The artifacts in their families were all brought over from Shangxia by their ancestors.

“Damn it, those hateful things!”

Lin Yang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he heard there were so many.

Little Eagle Sauce also did a lot of evil on the Shangxia land back then, but there were only a few places in the entire imperial capital.

Sakura, on the other hand, had twenty-six locations!

Simply despicable!

“System, mark all twenty-six locations where the artifacts are. I need to plan.” Lin Yang’s eyes flickered.

Originally, he thought that if there were few artifacts, he would just take them directly.

But since there are so many, and they also involve the local powerful families of Sakura, he decided not to take them for now.

He planned to take them on the day the technology summit begins!

On the day of the technology summit, the people of Sakura will definitely focus most of their attention on the summit.

These prominent families will be no exception, and they will inevitably relax quite a bit then.

While they are relaxed, he can not only successfully acquire the artifacts but also plan to invade the Sakura spokesman’s computer network at the same time as acquiring the artifacts.

If he’s going to do it, he might as well go big.

Acquire artifacts, invade computers, destroy shrines—all on the same day!

He wanted to make that day the most humiliating day for Sakura in recent years!
