Chapter 446: Chapter 242: Bizarre Wish: Coder Dies from Overwork, Wishes to Delete Study Materials_4
Officer Xiaoli poked his head out and said apologetically, "I’m really sorry for the trouble this time, Little Daoist, but don’t worry, Daoist Master. I will definitely persuade them. Even if it doesn’t work, I won’t skimp on the money to honor the Grandmaster."
"Nah, it’s alright."
Officer Xiaoli didn’t say much more. He stepped on the gas and the car sped towards Changchun Temple.
Afterward, Ning An purposefully headed towards the inpatient department, returning to the third floor.
He had just met a special incense burner here.
"Things have been really strange lately."
In the third-floor bathroom, while washing his hands, Ning An spoke in this direction.
However, in the mirror above the sink, besides Ning An’s reflection, there was nothing else.
"Daoist Ning, I had no other choice; I really left too suddenly."
The young ghost scratched his head, feeling genuinely embarrassed.
"Alright, go ahead and talk. Anyway, in your current state, no one else can see you besides me."
The young ghost wanted Ning An’s help, so naturally, he didn’t dare to hide anything and told his situation in detail.
His name was Zhou Yaping, a minor employee in a company in Z City about to go public.
Due to the intense competition, he frequently worked overtime until two or three in the morning. Two days ago, he died suddenly at his desk.
To avoid affecting the company’s IPO due to his death, the company promptly gave his family a huge sum of money.
This amount, plus what he had saved over the years, was already quite substantial.
He had a younger brother, and though his parents were heartbroken, they weren’t completely despairing.
With the company being supportive and the family being able to get by, Zhou Yaping logically shouldn’t have any unfulfilled wishes.
However, because his death was too sudden, he hadn’t deleted or prepared anything, and he left so abruptly.
"How many gigabytes?" Ning An immediately understood and raised an eyebrow.
"Not... much," Zhou Yaping hesitated. If he still had a flesh body, his face would likely be flushed by now.
"Alright, but rules are rules. First, come with me to offer incense, and then wait for the Grandmaster to grant your wish."
Ning An waved his hand, understanding the situation well.
As men, they could relate.
So, one human and one ghost took a cab straight to Changchun Temple.
Upon arriving at Changchun Temple, Ning An lit three incense sticks for him and placed them in the incense burner.
Then he turned to Zhou Yaping and said,
"Don’t just stand there, make a wish."
"Oh, okay!"
With that, Zhou Yaping clasped his hands together and earnestly began wishing.
Looking at Zhou Yaping and recalling recent events, Ning An concluded: The great era is arriving faster than he expected!
Just as he was lost in thought, the system panel lit up faintly.
[Gender: Male]
[Occupation: IT Programmer]
[Name: Zhou Yaping]
[Wish: To delete the learning materials stored on the company’s server]
[Wild Completion Method 1: The company where Zhou Yaping worked suddenly experiences a network outage. When technicians come to fix the network, they just happen to delete the learning materials he stored on the server discreetly;
Wild Completion Method 2: The host helps the deceased by personally completing the task, thereby gaining one-third of Zhou Yaping’s IT skills before his death and an opportunity for a mysterious draw.]
"Holy crap?"
Ning An rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he hadn’t seen wrong.
Is there even a choice?
Definitely go for the second method of wish fulfillment!
After all, Zhou Yaping’s wish isn’t hard to achieve, and there’s the bonus of a mysterious draw.
He would have to be foolish not to choose the second method!
"Let me ask, why did you store these things on your company’s server?" Ning An was a bit curious, as normally, such data should be kept on one’s home computer.
"Mainly because overtime is standard in our industry, and I spend much more time at the company than at home. Also, the company’s servers not only have a lot of storage space but also fast internet speed, plus I’m in charge of them, so..." Zhou Yaping scratched the back of his head, a bit embarrassed.
"I understand, I understand."
Ning An instantly got it, showing a knowing smile understood only by men: "So, what should I do next to help you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yaping said, "It’s really simple. You just need a computer that can work remotely, log in to my company’s server account, and it’ll be quick."
"A computer for remote work."
Ning An rubbed his chin. His Daoist Temple didn’t have such a device, but there were plenty of internet cafes down the mountain.
After a brief consideration, Ning An headed straight for the university city, going to the place where the grandson of Big Black Dog’s owner usually hangs out.
He had checked out that cybercafé from the outside. The environment looked quite comfortable inside.
Unlike the shady internet cafes back on Blue Star, this type of student-friendly cybercafé not only had excellent computer configurations but also snack areas, rest areas, and beverage areas.
Of course, with such good amenities, internet fees weren’t cheap, fifteen yuan an hour. However, you could get a membership, recharging a hundred got you thirty extra; recharging five hundred got you two hundred fifty more; and recharging a thousand got you seven hundred more, following a similar pattern to the cafes on Blue Star.
Ning An started a computer in a corner seat and, under Zhou Yaping’s guidance, began to download File Transfer Protocol...
After the software was downloaded, he followed Zhu Yaping’s prompts to proceed step by step.
"Brother Sect Leader, you just need to enter the IP here, my username, and password, connect to the company’s server, and delete the private instructions I set up, and it’ll be mission accomplished," Zhou Yaping said excitedly, seeing success within reach.
