Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Having received Lingxu's answer, Xiao Ce said, "Then let's shut it down."

As soon as he said it, Xiao Ce thought of the people in the base on the other side of the computer screen.

Xiao Ce then asked Ling Xu, "Ling Xu, I was just in the outermost control room contacting people outside. Do you have access to that area?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ling Xu replied with certainty, "Master, there is absolutely no problem with that... This is the most crucial control zone."

Upon hearing Lingxu's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Then help me get in touch with the person on the other side."

Lingxu flicked his sleeve, and the screen in front of him displayed the exact same image as the computer screen from before.

After the screen was brought up, Lingxu immediately told Xiao Ce that it was ready to operate.

The screen remained the same as before, with no response from the other end.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, why not just shut it down? Why send them messages? After all, we can't tell if they're friends or foes right now. What if they're just testing you... and then, after finding out you can really shut it down, they try to capture you and use you..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's true... However, I just like challenges... Besides, once they discover that we've lost contact here, they'll know it was me who shut it down, so it makes no difference..."

"Actually, being able to be used by others isn't necessarily a bad thing..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er seemed to understand something, then nodded to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, what you said doesn't seem to be a problem..."

At that moment, Xiao Ce began to input his information directly into the light screen in front of him.

I have activated the core area and am preparing to close this lost island.

Xiao Ce sent the message cleverly, without directly explaining the situation on this side.

They only stated the result, not the process.

After Xiao Ce sent this message to the other side...

The other end quickly replied: "Great, you've passed the second level of authentication? Where are you sending the message from now?"

It's obvious that the first outermost control room can be seen from the opposite side.

Moreover, it was clear that they found no one in the outermost control room.

The other party's question was clearly a test...

At this moment, Xiao Ce had no intention of playing mind games with them...

Moreover, from their replies, Xiao Ce could guess that the other party probably couldn't sense where he was.

I simply replied to them: "Yes, I'm currently in the core area. Should I shut it down now?"

After seeing Xiao Ce's reply, the other party continued to reply to Xiao Ce: 【Very good, close! Can you close it?】

Xiao Ce naturally wouldn't give them a very concrete answer, but instead replied: "I'm not entirely sure either, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I need to try it out, but I see I can message you here, so I need to confirm with you..."

After seeing Xiao Ce's reply, the other party seemed very anxious: [Close it.]

Xiao Ce replied to the other party: "So you'll all fulfill the conditions you promised me, right? You won't discard me after you've served your purpose, will you?"

Xiao Ce continued to deliberately negotiate with the other party.

Then the other party started showing off again: "Xiao Ce, you should know very well now that you have no right to negotiate with me. We agreed to your conditions, and we will naturally fulfill them. After you close Lost Island, we will naturally come looking for you..."

Xiao Ce has already gained Ling Xu's approval, and now Xiao Ce has complete control over this area.

Of course, Xiao Ce wouldn't tell them this.

Xiao Ce was now feigning weakness: "Okay, I hope you'll keep your promise."

Just then, the other party seemed a little anxious: "Hurry up."

Xiao Ce looked at the reply and then stopped replying.

Yin Pan'er, standing to the side with some worry, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, could this be a trap...?"

Seeing Yin Pan'er's worried expression, Xiao Ce said to her, "Pan'er, don't worry... You just need to know... everything here is under my control. If there are any problems after we shut it down, we can just restart it, right?"

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said to Xiao Ce, "What you say makes sense... I was overthinking it."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "Alright, I'll begin then."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce said to Ling Xu, who was waiting to the side, "Ling Xu, then help me shut down this Star Network Hub."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ling Xu nodded, then quickly clicked on the light screen in front of him and entered the information.

Then a huge red button appeared on the light screen.

Below the button is a line of text: "Please have the system developers perform this operation."

Lingxu then echoed Xiao Ce, telling him to press the giant button on the light screen...

Just then, Xiao Ce, still somewhat hesitant, asked Ling Xu, "Ling Xu, are you sure I am the developer?"

Lingxu said to Xiao Ce, "Master, although you don't remember, our authentication system will not have any problems! We will only succeed if the developer is identified."

After receiving Lingxu's affirmation, Xiao Ce said no more nonsense.

I just pressed it on.

Xiao Ce was still somewhat uneasy and asked, "Won't shutting down the Star Network Hub System cause any problems for us?"

Lingxu remained patient as he spoke to Xiao Ce, "Master, please rest assured. Regarding the Star Network System, you can proceed with the modification and concealment of Lost Island after leaving this area..."

"You will not be safe at all."

After receiving confirmation from Lingxu, Xiao Ce pressed down, and then another green light covered Xiao Ce's body.

The screen currently displayed: "Verifying identity..."

Even as he waited, Xiao Ce remained extremely nervous.

Although he didn't know why Lingxu was so certain that he was the developer.

Doesn't he know whether he's developed it or not?

He definitely isn't...

There must be some misunderstanding here.

However, Xiao Ce was extremely nervous.

But then a green checkmark appeared on the screen, followed by a line of text.

[Verification Successful]
