New Times, New Hell

Ch12 - Battle of Gods

After reaching the company, Yu Zhengdu handed the marionette to his coworker for examination. He found out that the ghost inside the marionette was an orphan that unfortunately was on the receiving end of a Daoist's evil spell. It died because of this, and its spirit was contained and refined by the Daoist to be his servant. It eventually escaped, but couldn't stop obsessing over how it had been wronged. As it also hadn't resolved its grudge with the Daoist, it couldn't enter samsara, and could only spend its time wandering through the mortal realm.

In these circumstances. Luofeng couldn't order him into reincarnation either. There was also no need for incarceration, so in the end he only received a lecture, was warned not to scare people anymore, and was released.

As graduation season drew closer, the number of posts on the nation's famous IT skill discussion forum, starflicker, increased too. Most were hopeful graduates asking for help on their senior thesis designs. Technology forums typically were not too friendly regarding these kinds of question posts, and the experts normally wouldn't even bother answering, unless the question was particularly interesting. Because of this, most posts were only popular for a short period of time before completely disappearing.

But in the past few days, a post on the forum garnered the attention of quite a few people. There was a lot of discussion around it too; even those big experts who rarely commented on the forum replied to the post.

But most people weren't paying attention to the content of the post. Instead, they were shocked by the author and title.

Title: Logically discussing the probability of using code to lessen the effects of some parents using C-sections to change children's times of birth.

Contents: As everyone knows, with the advance of medicine, Cesarean sections have become all the rage. Some parents will use this technology to change the natural time of birth of their children. Imagine all newborns' birth times were scheduled by a system; how should one use code to create a program that would lessen the side effects created from a change in birth date after C-section?

The post was made two days ago. Not long after, it became one of the most popular posts.

Floor 1: When did an elementary school student sneak into the forum?

Floor 2: When I saw the title I was shocked. Was just about to mock them when I read the author's name. My smile froze......

Floor 3: I clicked into the author's homepage 3 times. It's the real deal, not a high-quality imitator.

Floor 4: In reply to floor 1, open your eyes and look at the author. If singer is an elementary school student, then this forum is probably preschool.

Floor 5: What happened? The expert got hacked?

Floor 6: singer finally posted? This topic is quite interesting.

......

Floor 58: I reread this post 30 times and still don't understand. Is my IQ so far off from the expert's?

Floor 59: [osone]: Thanks for the invite. Clicked in with the intent of discussing cutting edge technology with singer. Let me smoke a cigarette first to calm down, smoking.jpg

......

Floor 345: [lan]: Thanks for the invite. If it were anyone else making this kind of post I would just ignore them, but since it's singer, then I'll simply analyze the probability. Typically speaking...... (here we have omitted 6,756 words)

Floor 346: Oh shit, expert lan really replied!

Floor 347: As soon as I saw expert lan's classic opening, "I will simply analyze it", I knew that the response wouldn't be simple.
