Darwin went crazy fixing bugs all night long.
As the day broke, his computer suddenly went black with a loud "buzz"—it crashed.
He instantly collapsed, picking up his laptop and smashing it on the table. "How is this possible? I can't fix it? It can't be true, it can't be!"
Thinking about what Mr. Martin said before leaving last night, he knew that if he couldn't fix it, he would be in trouble.
He knew Mr. Martin was capable of doing anything.
He didn't want to end up in prison.
So why did Max have to leave?
He had given Max all the data on the virtual assistant. Couldn't Max stay a little longer and wait for him to figure everything out?
Couldn't Max help him set it up properly before leaving, or maybe create a tutorial?
Did Max refuse to help him, knowing well that he wouldn't understand? What kind of friend was that?
Darwin's eyes turned red, and the greedy ghost on his head grew a large mouth that almost reached his abdomen.
With just a little more, it could devour him completely.
The greedy ghost had seen the harem spirit staring at Darwin last night, though it didn't notice Pablo standing nearby.
He should have left as soon as the harem spirit departed.
But Darwin had become obsessed with the virtual assistant. Greed made him desire both the honor and wealth that would come with its successful development. He also wanted to surpass Max by fixing the bug and achieving a remarkable comeback, to prove that he was better than Max.
The greedy ghost was also greedy, thinking that Darwin was already in that state, and it was just a step away from devouring him completely...
Then the door creaked open.
Lilly and Max stood there in front of him.
The greedy ghost was startled at the sight of Lilly, sensing a terrifying aura even more dreadful than the harem spirit.
The greedy ghost immediately tried to run.
Lilly raised her palm, and without needing to touch the greedy ghost, she sealed it within Darwin.
The greedy ghost swelled to its maximum size, almost reaching the ceiling. The enormous ghostly shadow wriggled and struggled, angrily shouting, "Let me go!"
Lilly remained unfazed.
Darwin looked up and saw Max, instantly lighting up.
"Max, why are you here?" Darwin exclaimed with joy. "It's perfect timing. I've encountered a difficult problem. How do I fix this bug?"
He wanted to open his computer but realized he had smashed it himself.
Going insane, he ran around the room and pulled out another laptop, thrusting it into Max's hands.
"Here, take this! It's the bug I found, but I can't fix it... Well, as long as the program can run, we don't need to worry about this bug... I just can't restore it to its original state."
"And those three virtual assistants don't show up. Max, please help me."
Max looked at him coldly, withdrawing his hand and pushing away Darwin's computer.
"Why should I help you?" Max said expressionlessly.
Darwin looked saddened. "You say that. Aren't we good friends?"
Max sneered, "Friends? Friends who stab me in the back?"
He looked around the room, seeing that Darwin had merely copied his design but failed to understand anything.
Darwin replied awkwardly, "Max, I didn't want to do this. It was Mr. Martin and the others who forced me."
He sighed, "You know, I couldn't refuse! I need this job, and I have an 80-year-old mother at home..."
Max interrupted, "You couldn't refuse, so you decided to steal from me?"
