Chapter 26: Childhood Friends

  Chen Heng had been in the remote military school for a long time, and even butterflies looked like beauties to him. Now his eyes darted back and forth, staring non-stop, and he muttered in a voice that no one could hear: "A 28-year-old woman would have been married off in ancient times!"

  Is he looking for theoretical basis for himself?

  Look at that pitiful appearance, how else can you describe the hardships of the Liberation Army?

  As for Chen Yi, when the four of them came over, he smiled with a grin. When they arrived in front of him, he happily called out to the girl in the middle: "Han Jie?"

  "Easy does it." Han Jie smiled and responded with a cheerful tone.

  She had a shiny black ponytail, her lips were not very clear and hadn't been made up, but they were plump and tempting to bite. Her slightly raised chest shape, combined with her extremely slender waist, was overflowing with the breath of youth.

  Little sister squeezed out from between the two brothers, her eyebrows not being eyebrows and her eyes not being eyes, said: "Second brother, Han Jie has returned from Xijing, didn't expect that, did you?"

  Chen Yishi said bluntly: "Really didn't expect it, haven't seen each other for half a year, how's Auntie's body?"

  "It's all right, it's just that every day she makes me read girls' school." Han Jie pouted and looked especially pretty, but Chen Yi didn't have any feelings.

  The two of them were really too familiar with each other.

  From kindergarten to primary school, and then to junior high school, Chen Yi and Han Jie, as neighbors, were not in the same class but at least in the same grade, and can be said to have grown up together since childhood.

  What's most rare is that the Chen and Han families are on good terms, with the elders being extremely close. If it weren't for this era not being fond of arranged marriages, they might have even skipped the formalities.

  However, elders' matters are for the elders to handle. The two of them were like two innocent children who grew up together and had a close relationship like friends - at least in Chen Yi's eyes.

  It was half a year ago that Han Jie's mother fell seriously ill and was hospitalized, so she went to Xijing for treatment, and the two were separated for a relatively long time. Now they meet again, extremely delighted.

  The little sister glanced at the second brother and Han Jie with interest, then introduced her big brother to the other three. Fortunately, everyone was young and there were no lengthy or tedious pleasantries, so they quickly became familiar with each other.

  At this time, the five boys also moved their things and gathered on the other side of Chen Rongxi, eagerly waiting for an introduction.

  Chen Heng didn't give them a chance, with a military demeanor he commanded: "You two, go prepare the barbecue, you go chill the beer, and the remaining two, clean up the backyard again, it's too dirty."

  The ground is actually not dirty, especially the four delicate girls who came early, they had already cleaned up the ground, and now their faces are even more blushing.

  The military bearing cultivated since childhood makes everyone dare not resist. The little sister looked at the prepared computer that no one was using, and a group of people really did barbecue, feeling both helpless and indignant.

  When the aroma of barbecue wafted up, she finally couldn't bear it, blocking her big brother's way and shouting: "Chen Yi, you go grill, Xiao Yu, you guys come over, we start competing."

  After doing a child's hair for an hour, Chen Heng was also getting tired, so he closed his eyes and pretended to agree.

  The students waited for a moment, then cheered excitedly and rushed to the computers.

  The little Yu in the lead opened the water-sealed box, and it was indeed a supercomputer terminal identical to Xiao Mei's. He took out a crumpled paper, unfolded it while reading: "144.092.000.000.255…… We're attacking this address. Whoever gets in first is the winner."

  "Where is this?" asked the older brother seriously.

  "It's up to your skills now." The match began, and Xiao Yu obviously took them as opponents.

  Chen Heng was paying attention to the situation, while Chen Yi continued to barbecue.

  In the middle of the oven, there is a hamburger patty that has entered a mature state and has forgotten its original identity. It is not close to other parts of the pig. Near the grill's semi-heated zone are various chicken parts - body parts that had never met before now have the chance to get intimate. The heaviest should be steak, with Australia being the most famous, while Argentina's traditional beef cannot escape the flames' licking, plus the cow's own tongue and a small amount of vegetables. The backyard of the villa is filled with an enticing aroma.

  Under the awning and eaves, the students under the two rows of computers only slightly wrinkled their noses, but their eyes remained fixed on the two people in the middle, as if they were two large mammals covered with seasonings and stuffed with spices.

  The computer made a humming noise, expressing its discontent with mammals.

  "Do you understand computers?" A little girl came up to the barbecue grill and asked Chen Yi in a low voice.

  Chen Yi thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "I don't know much. Are you Lin Xiuli? Are you also a member of their association?"

  "Yes." Lin Xiuli was a girl who looked quite lovely, although she didn't have Liu Xiyu's delicate features and devilish figure, she had fair skin and bright eyes, looking like a white radish that had just been washed by a vegetable farmer in the early Qing dynasty.

  Her eyes swept across the two Chen brothers, then shifted to the right by two steps, making the distance between her and Chen Yi suddenly change from close to narrow. Only then did she say: "They are competing to invade a large website's server, both of them have prepared many meat chickens and various software, but whether they can break in sometimes still depends on luck."

  As they watched the two talking, Chen Heng's mouth curled up into a strange smile, and he readily gave up his position at the grill, standing behind the computer crowd instead.

  Chen Yi smiled and took a step back, almost imperceptibly, saying: "Aren't the rest of you participating?"

  "They were competing for the leading position, and after several rounds of competition, only Chen Rongxi and Xiao Yu were left. Lin Xiuli smiled and said: "I am a first-year student in the Computer Science Department of Jiangning University, what about you?"

  "Jiangning High School, third year." Chen Yi smiled and said, "How did you and little sister get to know each other?"

  "I am her senior sister, and I also attended an all-girls school in middle school."

  In a flash of insight, Han Jie suddenly patted her shoulder and squeezed in between the two.

  Lin Xiuli blinked her eyes, suddenly realized something, and smiled with a pursed mouth.

  Han Jie gave him a slight glare and smiled lightly: "I'll help you with the barbecue."

  Before he had finished speaking, he nimbly turned the spit.

  So, near the barbecue grill, it became a combination of two girls and Chen Yi's three people. The boys on the other side started to look over continuously, except for busy Little Yu comrade.

  At this time, the competition between the two computers also entered a **period, and the sound of keyboards could be heard from far away.

  Han Jie gently tapped Chen Yi's arm and whispered: "Are you worried about your sister or are you interested in computers yourself?"

  "It's mainly about hacking." When talking to her, Chen Yi became much more natural. His slightly stiff expression earlier softened, and he smiled: "In the past, I also wanted to hack into some game and get an invincible account."

  "You'll be disappointed, most hackers are very boring, and invading is no exception. It's just scanning, cracking and the like. Sounds exciting, but in reality, most of the time it's just waiting for tea to brew." Han Jie said with a nod, "What makes them more formidable than ordinary hackers is that they not only use hacking software, but also write their own suitable software. Xiao Ning once breached the external network of Jiangning University's Computer Research Center, and Rong Xi breached the email server of the Jiangning government website, though it took them many days."

  "You're really good at computers, I didn't know before."

  "When I was in Xijing, there was a boy who showed off in front of me." Han Jie smiled with great satisfaction.

  Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Then how long will it take for them to determine the winner this time?"

  "It seems like the scan just ended and they're making some minor adjustments to target." Han Jie was referring to the dense keyboard clacking sounds.

  Just as she said, the concentrated knocking sound didn't last long. Xiaoyu was the first to stop and picked up a cup of tea, saying: "The address is the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Institute for Business Development's mainframe. It has been stripped clean."

  Chen Heng coughed heavily.

  Xiao Yu's classmate smiled awkwardly, rubbing his head and said: "Anyway, Chen Rongxi, you can still admit defeat now, I have at most one more hour to finish. By the way, their port protection ability is really ordinary, the computers in the School of Business are poor, if it were the School of Computer Science, it should be much better."

  Chen Rongxi clenched his lips and didn't speak, the sound of smashing keyboards grew louder.

  Less than half an hour, she has just jumped from a Saudi meat chicken to a Korean meat chicken, and then started scanning from Brazilian meat chicken, using software to find IP to determine the opponent's computer version and port information, but how to attack specifically to gain control rights, she has not had specific ideas yet.

  This gave her full confidence with a slight wavering.

  Another girl retorted: "What's so great about being a meat chicken?"

  So-called meat chicken, is a computer under its control, belonging to the previous accumulation. They have many uses, used for jumping can hide their whereabouts, in large quantities, used for DDOS attacks can paralyze the opponent's host.

  In comparison, Xiao Yu's preparations were clearly more thorough. In addition to the meat chicken, he had also prepared various hacking software, and just for system password cracking software alone, he had several types, each corresponding to Win series, Liu series, OS series and so on.

  This is also his style, or that of most hackers: judge, then use software to crack.

  Chen Rongxi, having received a complete computer education, has a natural advantage in programming and other areas. If she continues to develop from here, her achievements will surely far surpass that boy's in another 10 years.

  However, the current situation is that whoever uses software more skillfully has a greater advantage.

  "Who wants to cultivate the root?" Chen Yi suddenly shouted.

  ……
