The entire community went wild, something Evan had never expected. For men of cultures, it was akin to a blessing straight from heaven.
Evan laughed hysterically as he went through the comments.
[Damn! Now I can finally relax and store my 2GB videos of practical biology lessons without any worry.]
[#Me Too]
[#MeToo]
[2GB ... .Pathetic…What kind of man of culture you are unless you have at least a TB of lessons?]
[It's revolutionary…Every time I create a big file and lock it, my family always snoops it out but now Hehehee….]
"These single dogs are wild," Evan muttered, clicking his tongue as he scrolled for useful comments.
[CodeZipped is perfect for organizing code games and keeping them in store. Highly recommend it.]

[Discovered CodeZipped today and it's been a game-changer. Sleek interface, cloud sync—definitely worth it.]
[Using CodeZipped, but the search function needs some improvement. Overall, a solid app with potential.]
[CodeZipped is now essential in my workflow. Helps access snippets anywhere, top-notch organization.]
[I like it very much, just don't add annoying ads and videos.]
These short and simple messages captured the essence of users' experiences with CodeZipped, highlighting its strengths and areas for improvement which Evan might need to work on.
Soon, words about CodeZipped spread like wildfire across the web forums and numerous social media platforms. Tech enthusiasts and developers alike began sharing their experiences and opinions about the app, sparking lively discussions and debates.
On one forum, a user praised CodeZipped for its hassle-free design and user-friendly interface, calling it a game-changer for organizing and managing code snippets.
Meanwhile, on a programming subreddit, another user shared their positive experience with the app, highlighting its powerful search functionality and robust tagging system.
But not all feedbacks were glowing. Some users voiced concerns regarding certain features or suggested improvements to enhance the app's functionality. While the app worked great, it lacked in terms of aesthetics.
Evan planned to address those issues in the second update of CodeZipper Pro.
He took note of the criticisms, eager to continuously improve CodeZipped based on the user feedback.
Despite occasional critiques, the overall response to CodeZipped was overwhelmingly positive. Evan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment as he went through the myriad of reviews and comments praising his creation.
Although he was tempted to release the pro version, he controlled the growing urge knowing that neither he nor his company were ready for this.
With Teabox Cafe closing its offline services, Maria had lots of free time. So, Evan asked her to book an office building, generating another quest.

The quest came at an unexpected time, but life was full of surprises.
Meanwhile, they had already finished third centre, marking the end of BBSR. Now, it was time to move out, but before that, Evan needed to clear his name and the moment had finally arrived.
.....
15th February 2023.
Celina accompanied Evan for the case that was going to take place in Bombay.
As Evan and Celina arrived at the bustling International Airport, the heat and humidity hit them like a wave as they stepped out of the air-conditioned terminal.
Evan, carrying their luggage, scanned the crowd for their ride while Celina adjusted her sunglasses and took in the sights and sounds of the vibrant city.
Celina grasped Evan's right arm firmly as if fearing that he would be lost, making Evan chuckle.
"Auntie, is this your first time?"
"No, I may look like a country bumpkin but I'm not. I have visited Bombay a few times; our company had a branch here…"
"HUH?" Question marks appeared over the face.
"Which company did you work for before?"Evan decided to pry, having never dared to ask before in case it made her uncomfortable.
Celina looked at Evan's face and then smirked, "I worked for FabWorld Fashion and Jewellery."
Evan's expression froze for a moment and he muttered, "FabWorld… The number-one Fashion brand in Indra…"
"Hmm! If not for that bastard and my bad luck, why would I have returned to my hometown," Celina nodded, raising her chin proudly.
Evan took a deep breath, taking a moment to process his thoughts while tagging along with Celina.
As Evan and Celina stepped out of the airport, the bustling crowd seemed typical for any other busy day in Bombay. As they were looking around for a taxi, Evan's senses suddenly heightened, and a feeling of unease washed over him.
He glanced around, trying to pinpoint the source of his discomfort, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a shadowy figure emerging from the crowd.
"Aunt, follow me back," he said.
"Evann…" Celina began, but Evan cut her off.
"Aunt, just keep quiet and follow me back."
Evan then pulled Celina, deciding to go back inside, and to his shock, he saw the man following them.
In a panic, he decided to behave cluelessly and walk towards the security, but it seemed that the figure had anticipated his thoughts.
[DING]
[Emergency Quest]
[Protect yourself from the evil-doer's action.]
[Rewards: Fighting Skills Advancement.]
Before Evan could even react, the figure abruptly sped in their direction startling Evan who immediately screamed to grab attention.
"Security….Security…Guards…This man is a murderer."
"Ahhhh!"
As soon as he shouted, the surrounding crowd panicked.
The man who was aiming at Evan also panicked a bit and halted his steps before he pulled out a few glass objects and threw them at Evan.
"EVAAANNNNN!" Celina shouted in panic, grabbing Evan tightly. Her heart pointed as she saw the things that were hurtling toward them. With her defense gear kicking in and adrenaline surging, she tried to push away Evan and stood before him to shield him.
Evan, with his sharp eyesight, glanced at the glass and noticed that it contained some kind of liquid.
All the accumulated fighting instincts in his body kicked in and his mind raced.
Instinctively, Evan pulled Celina away and threw his luggage as a shield, striking the glass beads as they shattered on its surface. The acidic substance splattered harmlessly onto the ground, sizzling as it made contact with the pavement.
"FUCK!"
The hooded man cursed and started fleeing while people just widened apart in fear but after some distance, a group of policemen and security chased after him.
The security guards nearby swiftly reacted, rushing towards the assailant and apprehending him before he could disappear into the crowd.
Evan's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the situation. It was clear that someone was targeting him, but why?
Celina stood beside him, her expression a mix of shock and concern. "Evan, are you alright?" she asked, her voice slightly trembling.
Evan nodded, his mind racing with questions and uncertainty. Who was behind this attack, and what did they want?
[DING]
