75: How's your mess hall's cooking? Do you provide room and board?

As expected.

Instructor Huang, the leader in the domestic cryptography field, immediately turned into a fanboy after witnessing Su Yun's high-level skills.

It didn't matter if he was old or wrinkled.

As soon as Su Yun made a move, learning was mandatory!

Instructor Huang was even more persistent than those who came before.

"Professor Su Yun, could you explain the principle?"

"I have studied cryptography for so many years... I have never seen this method of decryption!"

If he had only dealt with a safe that had a lock core, that would have been fine.

The key point was: could that technique solve the internal mechanism?

This was like fixing a computer software error using hardware!

This was... completely on a different level.

Instructor Huang followed him all the way to the safe house and refused to leave.

Even if he had to sleep on the floor at night, he wanted to learn.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng and Officer Hong were assigned by Bureau Chief Chen to follow them.

They watched Instructor Huang's thirst for knowledge, looking exactly like a university student calculating the classic 'chickens and rabbits in a cage' problem for an elementary school student.

Please...

You are the leader in the domestic cryptography field!

So many people beg and plead just for a chance to meet you.

And yet?

This leader suddenly decided to apprentice himself to a young man?

Su Yun felt his scalp tingle.

If he had known, he wouldn't have acted in front of everyone...

"Instructor Huang, it's really not that I won't teach you."

"It's that there's no way to teach it at all..."

"This isn't something you can learn in a day or two!"

"Sigh..." Su Yun said with a wry smile, "Instructor Huang, I still have to collect scraps tomorrow."

"I have a lot of work to do."

"How about... we talk another day?"

Instructor Huang shook his head vigorously, clearly refusing.

This kind of 'another day' excuse might work on children.

Old Huang had lived for most of his life; how could he not understand the hidden meaning?

"Sigh..." Zheng Jianfeng rubbed his forehead, standing between the two, and said, "Instructor Huang, Brother Su Yun..."

"How about this?"

"Don't you need to collect scraps?"

"How about I take you to collect them at our Military Region training ground?"

Military Region training ground?

Are there scraps in that place?

Before Su Yun could ask, Zheng Jianfeng patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Don't worry, as long as you go."

"All the scraps in our entire training ground and the whole base will be yours alone to collect!"

"How about that!?"

"Hmm..." Su Yun fell into contemplation.

Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng's condition was very tempting.

For one, every hot-blooded man wanted to see the Military Region training ground.

Secondly, the fact that Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Jianfeng could guarantee that Su Yun would collect alone meant there would be no competition from peers!

Satisfied wishes and increased income... these two points truly moved Su Yun.

However... he didn't agree immediately.

He countered, asking, "Big Brother Zheng, I can go."

"But I only have one question."

"Does your place include food and accommodation?"

That one sentence caused the few people present to suffer cerebellar atrophy, leaving them utterly dumbfounded.

--- [Pfft hahaha...]

--- [Streamer, you must be the King of Free Meals!]

--- [I've seen people mooch meals, but never someone who mooches this well!]

--- [Seriously, Streamer, mooching meals from the Police Bureau was one thing, but you dare to mooch meals from the Military Region too? Are you crazy!]

--- [Holy crap! Streamer is awesome 666!]

--- [I wouldn't support a wall, but I support the Streamer!]

--- [Mess Hall Staff: We're finished! He's coming for us!]

--- [Instructor Huang: So, I'm not as tempting as a single meal?]

The livestream room bullet comments erupted.

Officer Hong looked at Su Yun as if he had seen a ghost.

That's why they say this kid looked smart since he was little.

No matter what he was doing, he never neglected his stomach...

And now?

He got tired of the food at our Police Bureau cafeteria, so he wants to try the Mess Hall Staff's cooking, right?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jianfeng took a long time to react.

So, that was his only request?

"Brother Su Yun, the way you speak..." "Are you looking down on someone!"

"We have such a huge place; how could we not feed you?"

"Don't worry, as long as you go..." "The scraps are yours, and the food is all yours!"

Officer Hong: ... He said nothing.

He just quietly watched his old classmate show off.

So, just because you have a big family and a big business, you're amazing, huh?

Fine... changing locations for this little ancestor was acceptable.

Recently, the Longhai City Police Bureau had been under immense stress... letting Su Yun go to the Military Region to collect scraps was also quite good.

Hearing a satisfactory reply, Su Yun nodded.

"Alright then!"

"I'll go with you tomorrow!"

... On the way back.

Zheng Jianfeng comforted Instructor Huang: "Instructor Huang, don't worry."

"As long as Brother Su Yun goes to our place, won't you have a chance to consult him?"

"At that time, you can consult him however you wish."

"I refuse to believe that any other Experts or professors will be able to compete with you then."

Instructor Huang: "..."

He nodded silently.

He had already mentally recognized Su Yun as his teacher.

Ever since he became the domestic leader in cryptography, he had never respected anyone in the field, domestically or internationally...

Today, he was finally conquered by Su Yun!

At the same time.

Program Headquarters.

A group of leaders and managers were sitting in the Chief Director's office past midnight.

Their eyes were wide open... even though their dark circles were large enough to befriend a panda, they still dared not slack off.

"Director, you are advanced in age, why don't you go back and sleep earlier?"

"We are watching; we will take turns on duty for the latter half of the night, and we will notify you if anything happens..." The head of the monitoring group said.

A warm current flowed through the Chief Director's heart.

His aged face was pale and weary...

"Sigh..." They were in the variety show business.

Originally, they just sought leisure and happiness...

But now, Contestant No. 54 Su Yun had them constantly terrified.

They even had to work overtime every day.

These leaders and managers now essentially ate, drank, slept, and lived entirely at the company.

When they opened their eyes, it was Number 54 Su Yun; when they closed their eyes, they still dreamed of Number 54 Su Yun...

The head of the data group said miserably, "Director, why don't we just declare Number 54 Su Yun the first place winner already!"

"..." Everyone fell silent; they wanted to suggest the same thing.

Unfortunately, the Chief Director shook his head: "No."

"Our program is no longer about profitability."

"The current situation is that some official state departments have started paying attention to us."

This was something that had only happened recently.

As the popularity grew higher and higher, Contestant No. 54 Su Yun alone caused the program to change its nature...

Major brands and advertisers hoping to invite him was one thing.

The attention from various state-level departments was another.

It could be said that they were now the pearl held in the palm of the hand...

If Contestant No. 54 Su Yun performed well, their pearl would shine brightly.

Conversely, if he failed, they would all crash and burn.

The Chief Director looked at the livestream screen, which had just gone dark.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Alright, everyone go back and rest."

"We made it safely through today!"
