It was nearly a month''s sry for her.
Tonight, Anthea had racked up more than twenty grand gifts in tips, along with a slew of other
gifts...She was killing it!
Meanwhile, the number of viewers in her live stream had skyrocketed from a cozy gathering of
thirteen hundred to a bustling crowd of three thousand three hundred. The numbers were still
climbing.
By the time she signed off, the room was teeming with an astounding ten thousand viewers!
Seeing that her earnings for the evening topped out at a cool eight grand, Anthea decided to treat
her crew to a night out for some grilled delights.
After indulging in the smoky goodness, they found themselves strolling back home close to
midnight.
Fresh out of the shower, Anthea suddenly remembered that the OS System was nearlyplete.
She fired up herptop, wrapped up the remaining code, and logged onto GlobalGigaNet to
message the other party.
N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
"Hey, you there?"
"Right here, master!" came the swift reply.
"The OS System is ready. Should I send it to you now?"
Daniel nearly dropped hisptop in surprise when he read her message. Clutching the device, he
bolted for Sherman''s bedroom.
"Sherman! Sherman!"
Roused by themotion, Sherman leisurely shut down the gaming website he''d been browsing
and nced over. "What''s up?"
Daniel,ptop in hand, announced, "It''s done!
"What''s done?"
"The OS! The master finished the OS System!"
Sherman sharpened the expression and extended a hand adorned with a cross wristband. "Give me
theputer."
Daniel passed theptop over without hesitation.
Sherman saw that the chat window was still open and quickly typed a message, "Please send it
now."
The OS System was a hefty file and would take at least an hour to transfer under normal
circumstances, but this file zipped across in less than three seconds.
That was not normal. It could only mean that the OS System wasn''t actuallyplete!
Daniel frowned as he murmured, "Is this some kind of empty file? And here I thought the master
actually finished it."
It made sense, after all. The OS System, a project tooplex for even a thousand-strong team,
couldn''t be done in just one month, no matter how skilled the master was.
With that thought, Daniel fell with disappointment.
Sherman, however, remained stoic, his lips pressed into a thin line, fingers idly toying with the cross
wristband as he navigated the mouse and opened the file.
Expecting an empty package, they were bombarded with a deluge of data.
Sherman narrowed his eyes slightly, silently taking in every bit of information. His gaze was fixed on
the screen, but his fingers flew across the keyboard.
At that moment, Daniel turned to a stone-like expression.
Holy smokes! It was done!
The master was a true legend!
Epic!
The master hadpressed a file of several terabytes down to this.
Daniel had the sudden urge to drop to his knees and worship the master.
The typing ceased. Sherman, as calm as ever, opened the chat window to reply, "File received."
"How do we handle the payment?" came the prompt response.
Sherman methodically typed, "The fee is substantial. How about we meet in person?"
The idea of sitting across from such a legend aroused his curiosity.
Anthea hesitated for a moment before replying, "I''m in Cloudcrest. Where are you?"
"Holy cow! The master is in Cloudcrest too!" Daniel eximed, jumping up in excitement. "Sherman,
you gotta take me with you when you meet!"
He needed to pay homage to the legend. He wanted the master’s autograph. And he even had
ns to line up a date for the master
The more Daniel thought about it, the more excited he became.
Sherman, face still a mask of neutrality, continued to type, "Coincidentally, I''m in Cloudcrest too. You
pick the time and ce."
After a moment of thought, Anthea tapped out a response, "How about this Saturday at eleven in
the morning at the Comfort Cafe? Any issues with that?"
