The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd!

186 Frog in the Well
“Go… go where? Las Vegas?” The sudden news stunned Shan Xing. She put on a look of disbelief and the bread that she had just taken a bite of slid out of her mouth.

Shan Xing was not the only one. The other three people at the table basically had the same reaction as her. At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen. The three of them were like three statues, all of them shocked. After all, no one would have thought that someone who was in a poor area would have the chance to travel to Las Vegas in their lives. The three of them looked at each other.

“Then Sister, aren’t you… going overseas?” Shan Chen spoke intermittently and forced out a sentence. Clearly, he had yet to react to this message. “Could it be that you’re going alone? That’s too dangerous.”

Shan Yue used a low and mellow voice, accompanied by a smile on her face. She raised her hand and touched Shan Chen’s head. “I’m going to work with a project partner. After we finish discussing work, I will be there for a few days. As for how long I’ll be gone, I can’t tell now. Don’t worry about me.”

In Shan Xing’s heart, the person she had always mocked and looked down on had long surpassed her. She turned to look at the admission letter that Shan Yue had bought for her in the room and immediately felt mixed emotions.

“Why can you go to Las Vegas?” Shan Xing’s pride did not allow her to be inferior to Shan Yue. Her words were filled with mockery as she put on a superior attitude. “You’re just a high school student who just finished the college entrance examination. You still want to talk about some bullsh*t project. You’re just finding an excuse for yourself. I think you’re being kept by some rich man and hanging out with him. It’s just that you’re too embarrassed to say it.”

Shan Yue’s emotions did not show on her face. Her face did not show any dissatisfaction, but it was replaced by a trace of disdain and mockery. She casually threw a few photos of herself in the competition of the project onto Shan Xing’s face. Then, she got up and turned on the television. The Las Vegas bidding process was playing, and Shan Yue’s figure appeared clearly in the middle of the rostrum.

“Look at how ignorant you are. Do you think everyone is like you?” Shan Yue’s lips curled into an evil smile. Her brows relaxed and she pursed her lips. “Stop being a frog at the bottom of a well. You could only slander others to satisfy your pride now. You are nothing, yet you don’t work hard. Do you think everyone is like you?”

Looking at the scene on the television, Shan Xing was speechless. There was a hint of embarrassment on her cold face as she lowered her head and fiddled with the bread in her hand.

On the other hand, Shan An was abnormally excited. He kept staring at the television. When he saw his daughter appear on the screen, he felt that his suffering had finally paid off. His lips curled up, and tears subconsciously welled up in the corners of his eyes and flowed down the sides of his face.

Sun Ling stood up and quickly turned off the television. She didn’t say anything else and continued eating silently.

In the end, everyone accepted this fact.

Before they could finish eating, Shan Chen turned to Shan Yue’s ear and smiled confidently. “Sister, when you’re free later, I’ll show you the results of my so many days of practice. I’ve already watched your video no less than a hundred times. See if I’ve improved!”

Shan Yue nodded and smiled, her eyes filled with kindness and gentleness. “My good brother is so hardworking. You definitely won’t be bad!”

“Of course. I’m confident that I’m about to break through the third level of the firewall!”

“What? You can reach the third level already?” A trace of surprise flashed across Shan Yue’s eyes. Other than her and Zhou Xuan, this was the first time she had seen someone with such a strong comprehension ability.

“Then you’re already strong enough to start challenging the hacker rankings.” Shan Yue’s lips parted slightly. She rubbed the cup in front of the table with one hand and muttered softly, “Let’s start with the “Lone Wolf” ranked 100th on the rankings.”

The two of them sped up their meal. Three minutes later, Shan Chen was already sitting at the computer table. He kept moving his wrists, preparing to show off his skills. He held the mouse in one hand and the keyboard in the other.

His joints were well-defined, and his fair hands were especially agile against the pale yellow equipment.

Shan Yue, who was standing behind him, could not help but feel a trace of pride when she saw how skilled her brother was.
