Chapter 886: Chapter 886 Ruanruan: I Just Like Dealing with Puppets

Ke Yiming knew Qin Ruan was helping him, and quickly followed up with an explanation, "I’m not a registered member of the website; I just occasionally browse it. I haven’t done any transactions on it before.

"Thousands of people from within the country browse that website every day. We’re only on there to look for things Aunt He left behind, and as long as we don’t do anything else, we shouldn’t run into trouble,"

What he didn’t mention was, several of his classmates in the same major would frequently visit the site in their spare time, and they were regulars on the Black Mandala Flower network.

It was indeed someone else who initially brought him onto that site.

Ke Zhibin glanced at Qin Ruan, as if he had remembered something, and walked briskly to her with the item in his hand.

"Miss Qin, this is a small token of my gratitude for saving our family of four,"

The item presented to Qin Ruan was a check filled out for one hundred million. Qin Ruan looked at the string of numbers but did not reach out to take it.

"Mr. Ke, you are too kind. I truly wouldn’t be able to rest easy if I accepted such a large sum. If you really want to thank me, how about bringing me more business instead? I don’t have many other hobbies; I just enjoy dealing with Puppet Monsters."

Her red lips curved into a dizzying smile, seemingly gentle but actually assertive and cold.

"This..." Ke Zhibin’s face showed difficulty, thinking it was the first time he had heard of someone who liked to associate with those dangerous Puppet Monsters.

However, in the business world, there were still quite a few who believed in such supernatural beings, though most wouldn’t openly talk about it.

Until today, he had been a staunch materialist. To actively bring business to Qin Ruan would not only be challenging, but it would also mean losing face in front of his old friends.

Ke Zhibin held the one hundred million check in his hand, faced Qin Ruan’s smirk, and finally clenched his teeth, "Alright, I’ll make some introductions for you later."

Losing face is just that—not painful or itchy, at most one might get laughed at a few times.

Once time passed and those people truly witnessed Qin Ruan’s capabilities, it would be them who had things backward. By then, he would stand at the top, watching others react with shock and awe.

Ke Zhibin took back the check and tentatively said, "Since you can access the Black Mandala Flower network, why doesn’t Miss Qin stay and we can research it together?"

In his view, Qin Ruan was a capable person; if something really happened, she would be an additional force to reckon with.

Qin Ruan glanced at Ke Zhibin, noticed the unease on his face, and said with a smiling voice, "Mr. Ke, even if you didn’t ask, I would have insisted on experiencing it for myself."

It was precisely because she heard Ke Yiming mention the ability to access the Black Mandala Flower network that she decided to linger longer.

Now that Ke Zhibin had brought it up, it seemed their thoughts coincided.

"Great!" Ke Zhibin exclaimed with joy upon hearing her words and immediately asked his younger son, "I remember there’s a computer in your room; it should be usable, right?"

"Yes, yes of course!"

Ke Yiming stepped forward from behind Qin Ruan, leading the two back to his bedroom.

His room held three high-performance desktop computers, beside which lay an opened laptop.

Ke Yiming walked to the desk, switched all three machines on.

The next moment was his chance to show off his skills.

His hands danced across the keyboard, executing moves swift and powerful, dazzling onlookers, while lines of code leapt across the computer screens.

Qin Ruan leaned against the computer desk, surveying the bedroom that belonged to a young man.

The room was warmly decorated, carrying the disordered sense of a boy Ke Yiming’s age, yet the electronic devices filling the space showed his real obsession.

On the computer screen controlled by Ke Yiming, lines of code abruptly stopped.

"We’re in!" an exclamation rang out.

Qin Ruan turned her head back to see the computer screen where code had been replaced by mysterious and sinister Black Mandala Flowers.

Normally, the Mandala Flower has alternating single leaves, with the upper part in opposite pairs, and its flower buds borne in the axils of the leaves, trumpet-shaped.

The Mandala Flowers displayed on the computer screen now took on an even more bizarre form.

Their petals extended outward, expanding several times more than the plant-like Black Mandala Flowers, and the most horrifying aspect was the red skulls on the petals.

Evil and seductive, the flowers seemed to allure those who saw them, magnifying any lurking malevolence within their hearts.

Upon seeing these blood-tainted black flowers, Ke Zhibin couldn’t help but express his disgust, "What on earth is all this stuff!"

Qin Ruan’s expression remained calm but also became much more serious, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Ke Yiming ignored the two of them, expertly entering his name, account, and private password.

As his fingers struck the keyboard with a crisp click, the Black Mandala Flower network appeared before their eyes.

Ke Zhibin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

A look of surprise flashed across Qin Ruan’s beautiful eyes.

Ke Yiming lifted his chin slightly, turned back with a proud smile as if waiting for praise like a child.

Ke Zhibin swung his hand towards him and ruffled his hair roughly, cursing under his breath, "What is all this mess? So many dense words on it, and I don’t recognize a single one!"

As a business tycoon who dealt with people year-round, Ke Zhibin was somewhat versed in several common foreign languages and had a basic grasp of them.

The characters displayed on the Black Mandala Flower network, aside from the punctuation marks, were completely alien to him.

"Ouch! Dad, please be gentle!"

Ke Yiming protected his head, trying to avoid his father’s rough treatment.

Qin Ruan looked down, her gaze intensifying as she asked the question that had been weighing on her mind, "Hen Nianzhen once said the Black Mandala Flower network can’t be directly accessed by any tool or browser, how did you get in?"

The pride on Ke Yiming’s face, expecting praise, disappeared, replaced by a look of infinite grievance.

He rubbed the back of his head and earnestly said, "Actually, it’s not as mysterious as the outside world says. If we go by the rumors, it’s impossible to access it with current computers; you’d need a quantum computer.

In reality, as long as you get recommendations from three website members and find the correct way to enter the site, paying a fee on a regular basis, you can come and go from the site as you please.

However, for an unregistered visitor like me, I can only browse some of the peripheral content. Beyond that, I have no other privileges."

Qin Ruan, with her hands resting on the computer desk, asked with a smile, "So I could also register and just log in whenever?"

Ke Yiming shook his head, "Accessing the Black Mandala Flower network still requires breaking through the surface protection. The screen now shows a virtual image, a deception for the unintended members who stumble upon the site.

To access the site’s real content, you’d need to break through the website’s three layers of protection. Even after you’re in, the content you see isn’t from the core area, but what you can see is already secret and off-limits to ordinary people."

His hands struck the keyboard once more, breaking through the website’s shallow three-tier protection.

Within ten minutes, the images on the computer screen changed repeatedly until Ke Yiming stopped, revealing the true visage of the Black Mandala Flower website.

On the display, titles in various languages from all over the world presented the entrances.
