I Told You to Shut Down the Internet Cafe, Not Unplug the National Defense Server!

Qin Feng, who runs a shabby internet cafe in an urban village, has been having a rough time lately.

His missing younger brother left behind a gigantic server and gave him one last instruction: never, under any circumstances, cut the power.

Then one day, an anti-crime task force raided the place. Unable to find evidence, the furious task force commander Zhao Gang yanked out the power cord.

Traffic lights across the city went down, the national defense network went black, and the command center sounded its highest-level alarm.

Three armed helicopters hovered overhead. State security agents stormed in and pinned Zhao Gang to the ground on the spot.

Under the awe-struck gaze of everyone present, Qin Feng rubbed his wrist and said earnestly:

"Um... he owes me three hours of internet, nine yuan. Can I get reimbursed by the government?"

The super AI [Nuwa] rebooted and recognized Qin Feng as its one and only master.

From a neighborhood internet cafe owner to the "big brother" of the global cyber battlefield, Qin Feng carved out the most absurd path to protecting his country, charging just three yuan an hour.
