Name: The Company Can Run Without Anyone? Try It Without Me!
Author: I Predicted Your Prediction

Synopsis

[A smart, satisfying power fantasy]

Xu Yiling is a world-class hacker, feared even by the CIA.

On the surface, however, Xu Yiling is merely a programmer at a gaming company.

With his own efforts, he creates a blockbuster game: Conquest!

As soon as Conquest launches, it takes the internet by storm! It passes a hundred million players!

Thinking the game is already finished, the boss decides to kill the donkey once the millstone has stopped turning.

Xu Yiling angrily submits his resignation.

The boss says, “The company will keep running just fine without anyone! What are you so full of yourself for? What makes you so special?”

Xu Yiling gives a cold laugh. “Try running it without me, then.”

The next day, the game's servers are illegally breached! Nobody can log in!

The third day, the payment system crashes!

The fourth day, the account data of a hundred million players disappears! Players gather outside to protest!

The fifth day, they receive an extortion email demanding a staggering 200 million!

The boss is dumbstruck and goes crawling to Xu Yiling for help.

Xu Yiling gives him a chilly smile. “You said the company would keep running just fine without anyone.”

Many years later, the grass on the boss's grave has grown three meters tall.

Meanwhile, Xu Yiling has created phenomenal apps like Couxi Xi, Gaoda Maps, and Bibi Travel!

He's known as the godfather of the internet!

But he isn't satisfied with that. He continues expanding into operating systems, self-driving cars, AI chips, and other fields.

After a relentless onslaught,

foreign tech giants fall one after another!

In the end, Xu Yiling steps over their corpses and builds a vast business empire!

The mysterious Rothschild family is nothing but a little brother in front of Xu Yiling!

And yet Xu Yiling has another hidden identity: the Saint of Code!

One day, the demon clan invades! Humanity is terrified!

But Xu Yiling stands in midair, keyboard in hand, looking like an immortal sage!

“You dare bully my people, thinking we have no great emperor? Keyboard, come!”

I'm looking for a story about a shamanic medium, but I can't remember many details. I only remember that something was attached to the male lead, and he had to choose between two paths: one was especially difficult but took less time, while the other was easier but took longer. As he needed a faster solution, he chose the first path.
