Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 146: Ruthless Person Li Zirui

Looking at the list Lao Cheng handed him, Lin Yi felt a bit perplexed.

At the same time, he also felt Lao Cheng was somewhat unreliable.

He wanted Lao Cheng to prepare a list of talents, but what did he actually receive?

Isn’t this clearly messing with him?

A freshman who hasn’t even enrolled yet, ranked first on the list, shows how perfunctory this was.

Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, Lao Cheng laughed playfully and said:

"Why, do you think I’m fooling you?"

Lin Yi didn’t deny it. He sat on the sofa and stared intently at Lao Cheng, waiting for an explanation.

Lao Cheng chuckled:

"Haha, looking at your expression, I know what you’re thinking. But let me tell you, I’m not fooling you. Li Zirui, he’s absolutely a super talent."

He pointed at Lin Yi before continuing:

"Let me put it this way, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re to my liking, I wouldn’t tell you this secret no matter what.

Don’t be fooled by Li Zirui just having gotten into university; he’s definitely not an impostor.

Let me explain, you’re a special recruit by Tsinghua, and so is Li Zirui.

Moreover, I must tell you, Li Zirui’s English score is only 8, yet Tsinghua specially recruited him. Now you understand why he’s ranked first?"

After saying this, Lao Cheng looked as if to say, ’See, I wasn’t lying to you,’ but Lin Yi was at a loss:

"You haven’t said anything, how am I supposed to know? You’re introducing someone who scored 8 in English and claim it’s not perfunctory? Doesn’t everyone know coding is in English? With a score of 8, he might not even recognize words, right? How skilled can such a person be in computing?"

Lao Cheng was momentarily stunned and realized he hadn’t explained clearly.

He laughed awkwardly and continued:

"Looks like I wasn’t clear. What I meant was, even though Li Zirui scored 8 in English, he got into Tsinghua, proving he has great achievements in a certain domain. Forget it, I’ll tell you directly, but you better not spill it."

At this, Lao Cheng lowered his voice:

"You’ve heard about the Beautiful Country’s national website being hacked recently, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned, recalling the sensational online news from a while back.

Beautiful Country’s top website, after being opened, directly led to a black screen, and two large, blood-red letters ~SB appeared on the screen.

The agency responsible for website security, along with many top hackers in the Beautiful Country, worked together for a whole day and night to remove those letters.

However, what happened afterward surprised everyone following the incident.

Beautiful Country couldn’t trace any clue about the hacker.

In other words, the hacker’s skills surpassed the entire network security agencies of Beautiful Country.

Beautiful Country was dumbfounded, but their shameless politicians failed to find the hacker’s whereabouts and directly contacted major media outlets.

Subsequently, media outlets issued articles claiming those two letters ’SB’ likely belong to a new extremist organization.

’SB’ quickly became an online sensation.

When our onlookers saw these letters, they burst into laughter; the meaning was self-evident.

Days after the incident, the hidden meaning of ’SB’ in Huaxia was caught by the media, leading to waves of denunciation against Huaxia.

Of course, politicians from Beautiful Country vehemently denied any connection to Huaxia, asserting that ’SB’ was just an extremist organization’s code.

Admitting the netizens’ claim would be a slap in their own face.

"What!! You mean that incident was..."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yi stopped mid-sentence and stared unwaveringly at the name ahead.

Instantly, disbelief filled his heart. He was completely surprised that such an astonishing event could be tied to this ordinary name.

"But why would someone like him come to our school?"

He muttered in disbelief.

Lin Yi wasn’t wrong. In Huaxia, though Tsinghua and Beida are famous, some universities excel in certain specialties far more than Tsinghua.

Upon hearing this, Lao Cheng rolled his eyes irritably and responded disdainfully:

"What nonsense are you spouting? What’s wrong with our school? We are one of Huaxia’s top schools, isn’t it normal for him to come here?"

After glaring at Lin Yi, Lao Cheng continued softly:

"The impact of that incident was too significant. To avert unnecessary trouble, some universities had to give up painfully."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi instantly understood, feeling relieved. No wonder the National Defense University didn’t intervene.

Turns out it’s to avoid suspicion.

Still, Lin Yi never imagined that such a tough character could be a student about his age, which is quite incredible.

If he didn’t have a system, he’d still be wasting time. Yet, this person already has such abilities.

It’s truly remarkable.

Seeing Lin Yi’s stunned look, Lao Cheng chuckled and snorted:

"Now, do you see my good intentions?"

He sipped his tea and continued to caution:

"But remember, don’t go around talking, this is no joke."

Lin Yi quickly nodded with a smile, agreeing while grabbing the paper on the coffee table.

Looking beyond Li Zirui, there weren’t any other freshmen listed.

This changed Lin Yi’s view of Lao Cheng significantly, and he felt fortunate to have such talent under his wing, immensely strengthening him.

Just as he imagined his career skyrocketing, Lao Cheng suddenly poured cold water on his aspirations.
