As soon as he heard that the screen had given him away, Kong Haoxia hurriedly turned it to the side.

This action directly betrayed him.

Wei Xinyu suddenly understood; the bit of admiration that had just sprouted turned into a feeling of 'so that's all it was'.

And there was even some hostility mixed in.

"I thought you were really that good. Turns out you were using hacks. For hand-players like me, cheaters like you are absolute archenemies."

Kong Haoxia also laid his cards on the table: "No choice, man! What's the point of carrying a girl if you don't use hacks?"

"Besides, isn't the reason I hack because there are tons of people using hacks in this game?"

"Low-tier matches are okay, but in high-tier matches, more than half the people in a single match have hacks, it's just a matter of whether their hacks are outrageous or not, whether they're acting or not."

"Like those Game for Peace streamers, AK with a 6x scope, steadier than my red dot, not a single shake."

"Ask them, and they say it's playing on a tablet, sensitivity tuned just right."

"And their fans actually believe it."

"So, me hacking is purely because in this game, other people hack, and I'm just using hacks to counter hacks."

Wang Zhong's meal seemed to be almost done, as he was already bringing dishes to the table.

He also overheard the discussion and asked, "With so many hackers, doesn't the game's official team do anything about it?"

Kong Haoxia chuckled, "Heh, they can't even properly optimize their own game. No matter what device you use, it gets hot and lags like crazy after playing for a while. They care about this?"

"They made this game entirely focused on how to make more money."

"Besides, this hacking thing... the official game studio might even..."

He gave a mysterious smile, then said to Wei Xinyu, "Another round?"

Wei Xinyu was a bit worried, "If I keep playing with you, won't my account get banned?"

"Don't worry, it won't. My hack costs a lot of money every month, it's not some cheap junk. And if anyone gets banned, it'll be me."

"Come on, even if I do get banned, I'm not scared."

"After all, I've spent over two hundred thousand on this game. I'm its daddy."

So, the two of them started another game.

As they started their game, the dishes were being served.

For lunch today, Wang Zhong had prepared the following:

Stir-fried tomato and egg, stir-fried pork with peppers, and cold dressed century eggs.

Placed on the dining table, they looked okay appearance-wise; it was just unknown how they would taste.

Because those two were gaming,

Yang Kang and the other three ate first.

"The taste is passable."

Yang Kang gave this evaluation.

"Better than what my girlfriend makes. Wang Zhong, are you really cooking for the first time?"

Yang Kang was suspicious.

Wang Zhong: "It's the first time. I just followed an online tutorial step-by-step. So if it tastes bad, blame the online tutorial."

Yang Kang: "Then you really do have talent."

Yang Kang took another bite of the stir-fried tomato and egg.

His mouth was stained with quite a bit of red juice.

Wang Zhong also started eating. Eating the meal he made himself gave him an indescribably strange feeling.

As he ate, he suddenly said, "Yang Kang, are you in America researching drugs related to treating leukemia?"

The sudden question made Yang Kang, who was buried in his food, stop instantly.

Wang Zhong quickly added, "Actually, I've heard a bit about you too. I took some time to search for you online while cooking."

Yang Kang nodded, "Yes, I'm currently engaged in research in that area."

Wang Zhong asked, "I heard that in America, they can already treat leukemia just by taking medicine?"

Yang Kang shook his head, "Only some types of leukemia can be controlled and alleviated with medication."

"For example, chronic myeloid leukemia, some acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia can all be controlled and alleviated with medication."

Wang Zhong sighed, "After all, America has sucked up the elites from the whole world. It's not strange they're so far ahead."

Then, he added, "Yang Kang, if you died here, it would be quite a blow to human medical research!"

Yang Kang stopped his chopsticks and gave a cold laugh, "Although I research this area and have achieved some small success, I haven't reached that level yet."

"However, I absolutely will not, and cannot, die here!"

"I haven't won the Nobel Prize yet, I can't die!"

Wang Zhong adjusted his glasses, "I thought you'd say you haven't completed your research yet, so you're unwilling, that's why you can't die."

Yang Kang said, "There's definitely regret in that aspect too, but my current wish is for my research achievements to earn a place in the long river of history."

At that moment,

Wei Xinyu and Kong Haoxia over there finished their game.

Kong Haoxia opened his mouth and cursed, "Those three bastards on the other team, their hacks are even more outrageous than mine! Just wait, I'll report you to death!!!"

Wei Xinyu, however, calmly put away her phone and came over to eat.

Lü Youwei asked, "Lost?"

Wei Xinyu nodded, "Lost. The last five people, three of them were a squad on the other team, all three had hacks, even more outrageous than Kong Haoxia's."

Lü Youwei smiled, "No choice, a lot of games are like that."

After finishing lunch,

Yang Kang asked the other four who would go with him to the first floor to find an opportunity to administer the Paraquat.

Wang Zhong stood up and said he would.

So, these two left Room 501.

The remaining three stayed in the apartment.

Lü Youwei, staying here, still needed to answer phone calls from time to time, communicating with subordinates about company matters.

Therefore, seeing Wei Xinyu continuing to play games with Kong Haoxia in the afternoon, he was utterly baffled:

"Wei Xinyu, I searched for you online. Your background is no small matter either!"

"You're the director of a pharmaceutical research institute."

"Logically speaking, you should be quite busy, right? How come I see you being so idle since coming here?"

Lü Youwei was almost dying from being busy with phone calls.

Everything required his decision.

Even if Wei Xinyu's pharmaceutical research institute was relatively less busy, it couldn't be *this* idle, could it?

"Oh, I told everyone else at the institute long ago that I'm going on a trip this week, don't call me unless it's important."

Wei Xinyu answered absentmindedly, her fingers constantly tapping the screen.

On Yang Kang's side,

Although the idea of poisoning was a method discussed with the experienced Lin Feng and Wang Baobao,

those two really had no idea about the specific details and steps of when the manager prepared the food and drinks for the welcome party.

Watching the livestreams, it seemed like they watched everything very carefully.

But when they needed to use the information, they realized many crucial details had long been missed.

Therefore, Yang Kang and his companion needed to figure things out themselves.

Wang Zhong simply followed Yang Kang.

The two of them went all the way to the first floor.

Checking the time, it was now a little past one in the afternoon.

The first floor seemed empty.

The two arrived at the management office but didn't see the manager, Wu Meiling.

However, at that moment, they suddenly heard a voice cursing and grumbling.

Curious, the two looked in that direction.

They saw a rather handsome young man walking out of the surveillance room.
