The Tycoon's Odyssey

Evan leaned back in his chair, considering Aurora's suggestions. "Which technologies should I prioritize on buying from the system next?"

Aurora's voice came through clearly, [I recommend starting with four key technologies. They'll enhance your capabilities and streamline your operations.]

- Advanced Computing Technology

- Quantum Computer Technology

- Advanced Simulation Technology

- Energy Technology

- Virtual Reality

- Wireless Charging Stations

- Quantum Charging Units

- Neural Interface Systems

- Holographic Projection Systems

- Advanced Robotics

[Out of this, we need to begin with first four and slowly proceed to below."

Evan tilted his head thoughtfully. "Why these four?"

[Advanced and Quantum computing will significantly boost our processing power, which is essential for any complex task. The advanced simulation will save you considerable time and money on research by allowing detailed modeling of systems and scenarios. Energy technology will provide greater flexibility and efficiency.

Lastly, Virtual Reality will enable immersive interactions with simulations, making them more practical and user-friendly.]

"That makes sense," Evan agreed. "Let's see what's available."

He navigated to the system's shop and typed "computing" into the search bar.

Sorting the results from most to least expensive, he eliminated those with magical components and those beyond his current tech capabilities and focused on Quantum Computing.

[ Quantum Computing ]

[Utilizes quantum bits or qubits to perform complex calculations, offering a significant boost in processing power at hyper speed. Ideal for simulations, cryptography, and task optimization.]

[Price: 5 million SP ]

Evan added it to his cart and proceeded to search for "Simulation."

[ Planetary Simulation ]

[ Solar System Simulation ]

[ Galaxy Simulation ]

....

..

Beyond galaxy simulation, everything was beyond his budget, so he could only opt for the Galaxy Simulation.

[ Galaxy Simulation ]

[Simulates entire galaxies or complex systems based on available computing power, providing flexible and scalable simulation capabilities.]

[Price: 1 million SP]

He added this to his cart, appreciating its versatility.

Next, he searched for "Virtual Reality."

[ Comprehensive VR Systems ]

[ High-Resolution VR Systems ]

[ Full Immersion VR Systems ]

[ Augmented Reality Systems ]

After sorting and reviewing, he selected a Comprehensive VR System, which offered a broad range of VR types and applications.

[ Comprehensive VR System ]

[Includes extensive knowledge of various VR types, such as Non-Immersive, Semi-Immersive, Fully-Immersive, and Augmented Reality.]

[Price: 5 million SP]

With the VR system now added to his cart, Evan reflected on his budget. Although he was interested in exploring other technologies like advanced energy systems, his current constrained SP balance limited his options.

Evan decided to finalize his purchases later, choosing to rest before completing the transactions.

"These are the technologies I've chosen," Evan informed Aurora, ensuring she integrated these elements into her planning.

[Excellent choices, sir.] Aurora acknowledged his selections with approval.

That evening, Evan prepared for bed, feeling a mix of anticipation and fatigue. He tidied up, showered, and put on his pajamas.

Once in bed, he opened the system shop and reviewed his cart. With determination, he pressed the "buy" button.

[DING!!!]

Without hesitation, Evan pressed "Proceed."

A torrent of information about Quantum Computing briefly overwhelmed him. However, this time he managed to absorb and comprehend the knowledge with ease, unlike the previous struggle.

After about thirty minutes, he felt confident in his understanding of Quantum Computing. The process continued with the Comprehensive VR System, which he also assimilated smoothly.

"Damn, I feel invincible," Evan thought, marveling at his newfound expertise.

However, the next wave of information was overwhelming, presenting endless, incomprehensible formulas. The system's approach suggested that a detailed understanding wasn't necessary since the computer would handle the intricate calculations and simulations.

Evan accepted this, realizing that the system's capabilities were designed to support his goals effectively, even if some complexities were abstracted away from his direct comprehension.

"Now it's time to build the world's greatest computer."

Lin Wei Ding paced in the office.

The acquisition of CodeZipper had been a strategic move to stay ahead, but the app's complex encryption and proprietary technology proved to be far more complex and challenging to crack than he had anticipated.

Mei Chen entered the room, her expression a mix of frustration and determination. "Mr. Ding, we've been working around the clock to understand CodeZipper's technology, but it's proving to be more difficult than we imagined."

Lin Wei's eyes narrowed. "Difficult how? We need to understand every aspect of it if we want to remain competitive."

Mei Chen handed Linwei a tablet showing him a series of code snippets and security protocols. "The encryption is far more sophisticated than we initially thought. Although our team has managed to reverse-engineer some parts of it, the core algorithms are still eluding us. The tech used to build it seems to be highly advanced, far beyond the scope of our current tools."

Lin Wei scrutinized the data. The complexity of the encryption and the sheer sophistication of the algorithms were evident. "This is unacceptable. I need you to get to the bottom of this. Use any means necessary. We cannot afford to fall behind."

Though her frustration was evident, Mei Chen nodded, "Understood. We're already exploring additional avenues, including enlisting external experts if needed. I'll update you on our progress."

As Mei Chen left the office to continue the investigation, Lin Wei's mind churned with possible solutions. He needed to find a way to break through the encryption and decipher CodeZipper's secrets.

"It seems I need to contact the other side. I am sure they will also want to have a share of the pie."

Meanwhile, in the depths of Youkou Technologies' secure lab, Lin Wei's project manager, Patrick, sat hunched over his workstation. Dark circles under his eyes were a testimony to all the sleepless nights he had spent trying to crack the app's code. His team had been working relentlessly but was still at a loss.

Lin Wei stormed into the lab, his face a mask of frustration. "How is the project going?"

Patrick looked up, his voice tired and strained. "We're still struggling to understand how CodeZipper's core functions work. The encryption is extremely intricate, and despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to modify the files effectively."

Lin Wei's face reddened with anger. "I gave you the source code nearly a month ago! This program was built on rudimentary hardware, and you're telling me that you still can't figure it out with all the advanced tech you have been provided with?"

Patrick, clearly on edge, tried to maintain composure. "We are working as fast and more as we can. My team and I haven't even had a break in these two months. We want to finish this project just as much as you do. At present, by using it as a template, we can only code a similar one for 4X.."

"I want 10X...Do you think 4X is sufficient?"

Lin Wei's frustration was palpable. "Take a week off with your team. Rejuvenate and come back to finish it within the next two months. We can't afford any more delays."

As Lim Wei left, the project manager and his team were left to ponder the implications of this decision. The much-needed break could provide a fresh perspective, but it also meant that the project would take more time to crack the crucial code.

Back in Lin Wei's office, Mei Chen returned with a cautious update. "Mr. Ding, we've had a breakthrough with some external expertise. They believe they can assist us in understanding the core algorithms. However, it will take some time to integrate their findings with our research."

Linwei nodded, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes. "Do whatever it takes. We need to uncover the secrets of CodeZipper and ensure that our position remains secure."
