His Panic Attack

Meanwhile, Jingwei was oblivious to Xue Ning's thoughts. He was focused on beating this unnamed hacker at his own game!

It seemed that the hacker knew a few new tricks that Jingwei hadn't known about. This was the problem in any fast-paced industry - the moment you stop catching up, you'll get left behind! 

Jingwei cursed again, gnashing as his attempts were yet again thwarted. He could sense the other party cackling behind the screen. If it was him a decade ago, he'd be doing so too!

But unfortunately, it seemed like he was a decade too late for this war. He was effectively bringing a knife to a gun fight - sure, the knife could do some damage, but only if he could even get close enough to bypass the firewalls set up by this person!

Xue Ning watched him struggle and sighed.
