Chapter 5 - Stop Them!

"What a guy! He openly violated the law to manufacture firearms in front of everyone!" A staff member who was watching the livestream on his official account and issued the warning slapped his thigh. "I hope he enjoys prison food."

"Ah… Hi?"

Zhou Chuchu didn't expect them to attract the attention of the officials. At this point, she didn't know if she should continue filming Xiao Yuyao assembling the Gatling gun. He was supposed to assemble the parts after this.

Zhou Chuchu's face turned pale when she saw the official account post. She wouldn't survive in prison!

What was going on?

Why were official accounts here?

These weren't website cyberpolice, they were the official government police!

Zhou Chuchu was so scared she started trembling. She moved closer to Xiao Yuyao and saw him preparing a thick steel plate to fuse the gun together. 

"H-hey… Should we stop? The police are here."

She sobbed. "They're asking us to stop! We need to stop! I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to live in a square box!"

"You don't have to panic." Xiao Yuyao didn't even raise his head. He pushed Zhou Chuchu aside and cut the parts with an electric gun. He raised the parts and aimed them at the light. Then, he inserted the steel pipe into the gun barrel and fixed the barrels.

"We won't go to prison. Nothing will happen. I make guns. That's it. Why are you panicking? Plus…" Xiao Yuyao was not very happy to be interrupted. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Is it illegal to make firearms? Even children play with them, how can they be harmful?"

Zhou Chuchu looked at Xiao Yuyao with an obvious expression. 

"I know that you rarely surf the net, but you should know some common sense, right?"

"Is this considered common sense? If it's illegal to make children's toys... Everything else should be considered illegal as well."

Since he was already going against the law, he didn't mind going all the way. He asked Zhou Chuchu to continue the livestream and lowered his head to start assembling the Gatling gun.

During the Ice Empire era, laser cannons, starships, and interstellar orbit were all created by Xiao Yuyao. The scientists who had created many technological weapons didn't know how a small toy could cause such a big sensation.

However, this also made Xiao Yuyao fully aware of the backwardness and problems of this era. 

The weak follow rules and the strong make the rules.

"Everyone, don't panic. We've already assembled the gun barrel and the main body. Next, we'll need to look at the springs and parts inside the gun barrel, as well as the tracking and precision."

Xiao Yuyao's hands were dexterously operating on the machine tool. He put the hot glue into the gun barrel to adjust the angle and accuracy. Then, he used the simulation composition to draw out the butt of the gun and cut it off with the numerical control machine tool.

Zhou Chuchu looked at the almost completed Gatling gun and her vision started to blur. "Are you on a suicide trip?"

The popularity of the livestream and the number of people reached a new high after the official game.

[Wow, this is awesome. This is the first time I've seen someone continue despite the official threat!]

[Terrorists don't livestream and make guns. They only know how to sneak around. This guy is more than that!]

[I want to know his thought process. Does he really think that is a toy? This is the real deal! He's scaring Chuchu!]

After the number of real online users exceeded one million, the headlines on the net were dominated by Xiao Yuyao. The hot searches for a popular Gatling gun skyrocketed. 

Xiao Yuyao's goal of using livestreaming to increase his popularity and establish a technology company has been achieved… But at what cost?

At this moment, in a certain official special criminal case conference room, a livestream was being broadcasted on television.

"Now, we will proceed with the construction of the internal software, the bullet path, and the trigger sensitivity." Xiao Yuyao's voice rang. He lifted the five gun barrels and installed the triggers.

The internal structure was clearly visible, and it looked like it was more than half completed. As long as the remaining main body was installed, the Gatling gun would be usable.

This made the person in charge of the special criminal case's face turn dark. He slammed the table and ordered the counter-terrorism unit to prepare themselves. He also brought the intelligence personnel and network information technology personnel into the meeting room.

"Look into Xiao Yuyao's records. I want to know his identity, his specific location, where he gets his funds, what material he's using, and whatever information you can find on him." A middle-aged man with white hair said, "We must investigate this matter thoroughly and stop him before things get worse!"

The network information technician's expression looked bleak. He was at his wit's end. When he hacked into the network, he was forcefully beaten back by an unknown hacker.

He turned around to face his computer and rolled his shoulders. He tried to click around to find more information. Suddenly, the screen turned dark and a huge rabbit appeared in the middle with its tongue out. The rabbit jumped around with its ears swaying, raising a Gatling gun and shooting at them.

Some people's expressions turned even worse.

"Team Leader, Director, there's an expert hacker supporting this person. They immediately used a firewall to block me from finding the source and blacked out my system!"

He paused and hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "After our internal and external networks were invaded to varying degrees, all information about Xiao Yuyao was intercepted. We couldn't find his personal information and files. We can only confirm that he is related to two popular streamers only because they've transferred funds to him before.

"One of them is Yang Mimi, and the other is Zhou Chuchu. Not only does this person have no household registration or ID card, but he also has no useful identification information. He doesn't seem to go out often, and the surveillance cameras can't find any traces of him.

"However, through the purchase and intake of the parts and materials in the livestream, we can deduce that he doesn't seem to have any other channels or connections. Excluding the fact that he's a local resident, we can only confirm that he's someone who sneaked into this country. Moreover, the source of funds is provided by those two celebrities, so we cannot track any of his past working records.

"If we get clearance to run through the investigation, we can lock any exits and keep them in their neighborhood."

After the report, the counter-terrorism unit quickly contacted the person in charge of the livestream platform and the entertainment company of the two celebrities.

"Gather the technicians and continue to attack their platforms. We must act fast! Also, get the security department to investigate this villa area and evacuate all civilians!"

Yu Lun was a higher-level AI that could not be hacked that easily. This forced the counter-terrorism unit to have no choice but to contact the counter-terrorism soldiers in the capital to investigate this matter. That was in case the other party had weapons that could cause harm to the country.

[Shocking news! The technology god is openly creating a Gatling gun. He is suspected to be a sc*mbag who scammed Yang Mimi and Zhou Chuchu!]

When the person in charge of the counter-terrorism unit saw the trending searches, he was so angry that he almost crushed his communication device. "Cut off their networks! He must have had sellers for the materials! Search for clues! He must have traces! Keep searching!"
