Chapter 30: The Worlds Challenge

  Chapter 30: The World's Challenge

  Klinham of Stanford University was clutching his hair. Next to him were two FBI agents, stiff black suits, red striped ties that could strangle people, bulging waistbands with guns, and hands standing upright with piercing eyes.

  Two people stared at the screen with all their might, although they couldn't see anything.

  Clinger often works for the US government, handling events that some government officials are unable to handle, such as this one. He needs to capture the "killer" who is causing chaos in North America. This should be a simple task, he doesn't need to actually defeat the hacker, just find out its approximate location, IP segment used and other information, and naturally there will be federal agents with search warrants in the country or other countries to do the rest of the work.

  But today, things are a bit different.

  17:00 Beijing Time

  "Klingon's sweating profusely said: 'I lost him. He didn't move anymore.'"

  "Where will he strike next? Or North America?" The FBI agent was more sensitive about location.

  Clingham wiped his forehead with a white shirt and sighed, "All we know so far is that he's in Asia. As for the direction of his attack, you know this is the world of networks, real networks, it could be anywhere."

  "I'm certainly not going to tell the boss that he's attacking everywhere." The agent loosened his tie in annoyance, hating being a babysitter for tech personnel.

  After a brief pause, the investigator continued to ask: "You said he didn't show up, did he stop or was he done away with by someone else?"

  Although the United States was hit hardest, it is possible that another country or entity discovered and eliminated this "killer" first.

  Kreinhelm continued to wipe his sweat and shook his head.

  "I have a bad feeling." Another detective put his hand on his gun, as he usually did when faced with danger.

  Klingham shrugged.

  "I want to shut down all the servers he's used." Another agent said abruptly.

  "He has at least 20 meat chickens, all overseas, plus dozens of servers that have been successfully invaded... "Kleinham said helplessly: "You can't let foreign governments shut down their servers, and the time it takes to issue orders is enough for him to occupy more servers. He's like a virus, and manual killing is not feasible."

  "I can't let him continue on, he's even trying to get our supercomputer, you know what's on there?" The detective almost yelled.

  "Sir, I know what I'm doing and I know what's inside the supercomputer. I guarantee you that even the best hacker in the world would need several years to get into it, by which time technology will have advanced again... so it's impossible for the supercomputer to be invaded."

  In the end, he said with a hint of guilt, but still managed to lift his head and put on a determined air.

  The detective remained silent for a long time.

  Kleinham returned, calmed down and continued working hard.

  His observation scope is wider, borrowed resources are more, analysis content is more complex...

  But it's of no use.

  At 17:15 Beijing time, a server in Wisconsin, USA was attacked. It was the 40th server to be attacked within three minutes. At this moment, apart from some unknown hackers that Americans hate, many well-known hackers also joined the chaotic wave. Therefore, except for a few people, no one paid attention to it.

  Stanford University's Klinham saw the real-time report, and with just a grunt of "jinxed", he tossed the report aside. Today was really terrible, what's the big deal about a power station server? Maybe looking at the collapsed servers of the University of Wisconsin will bring some joy after the disaster.

  At least 40 security experts in the United States saw it, but none of them took it seriously.

  Until then, in one minute.

  Kirkham suddenly thought of something and was about to hastily retrieve the data when the warning light on the right side of the screen flickered.

  "What's going on?" the federal agent asked immediately.

  "The mermaid was invaded."

  "Didn't the Kraken sever physical links?"

  "It didn't disconnect from the power station server. To be exact, the power station server was in a separate LAN, paired with the supercomputer, and Kraken's own power supply system was only used in emergency situations......" Kligham hurriedly thought of going to make amends for something, but found that he couldn't do anything.

  The FBI agent almost shouted: "Isn't this an emergency now?"

  "State of emergency is strictly regulated, war, natural disaster..." Klugman muttered a sentence unclear to himself and felt absurd, shaking his head not knowing what to say.

  The warning lights kept flashing without a break.

  Countless security experts have begun to throw themselves into this battle, perhaps the last one.

  Innumerable computer geniuses began to pay attention to this battle and spontaneously named it "World Challenge Time".

  By finding the mermaid's weakest link and taking targeted action, Chen Yi finally infiltrated a supercomputer.

  A strange virus, unprecedented and specifically targeting supercomputers, began to wreak havoc within "Kraken".

  Two minutes later, the administrator password of the sea monster was automatically modified.

  At 17:15 on August 8th, the Agile Scroll effect stops.

  At 17:17 on August 8th, the effect of Intelligence Scroll stops.

  At 17:19 on August 8th, the effect of copying scrolls ends.

  Chen Yi was almost paralyzed and floating in his chair, within the short span of 3 hours, he not only used 4 levels of scrolls but also continuously used multiple agility and intelligence scrolls, despite drinking energy recovery potions like mineral water, it absolutely exceeded the limit.

  He barely lifted his head and happened to see Chen Rongxi's moon-like eyes widened to the size of suns.

  Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's wrong? Didn't you realize that Second Brother is a martial arts master?"

  His tone of voice couldn't ease the tension, and for Chen Rongxi, who was well-versed in programming, completing thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lines of code without stopping was unimaginable, let alone the short but extremely complex program he wrote last.

  Even now, she is still savoring the memory.

  As for Xiao Yu, he was already confused and became a spectator.

  Only Lin Xiuli, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, shouted "The internet is all messed up. Whether it's a portal website or an online community, everything is now a mess. Videos can't be played, pictures are crossed out, unfortunately we can't tell others that we did this."

  Xiao Yu hastily said: "Today's matter, no one is allowed to mention."

  Everyone nodded. Those who can walk together, even if their family background is not as good as the Chen's, are not much worse off either. There are too many things to show off about, and for this reason, they will put themselves in a awkward position. On the other hand, as members of the computer club, being able to witness with their own eyes the world-class hacking battle that they have always dreamed of is indeed more exciting than watching a movie.

  Everyone's face turned bright red, and Chen Yi's eyes were different now.

  Han Jie then brought up a plate of barbecue and smiled: "Look at you, typing away until you're exhausted. What's that drink you've been drinking all along?"

  "Uh... carrot-flavored mineral water, Mount Tanggula..." Chen Yi's mind was muddled, his words almost incoherent.

  "The taste is really unique." Han Jie smiled and poured some fruit juice in front of him on the table, saying: "I see you've been drinking that... mineral water all along, try a different flavor."

  Big brother's computer doesn't understand much, can't see the way out, still thinks it's lively, and laughs: "Drinking so much water, drinking juice, will you get a bloated stomach?"

  His military identity made him feel a low sense of international mission, and in fact he didn't know how much chaos was outside.

  Chen Yi lowered his head and drank juice, smiling but saying nothing.

  What happened just now is like a dream for him. Now that he recalls it, his heart is racing with fear.

  What is the concept of infiltrating a supercomputer?

  To put it bluntly, this is at least a $10 billion resource. Even with the wealth of the United States and numerous supercomputers, they are all used in a few fields such as national defense, finance, and research. The total annual security expenditure on supercomputers is also over $10 billion.

  Chen Yi's right hand unconsciously began to draw on his thigh, repeating the modified password of "Mermaid".

  Little sister looked at Second Brother with a worshiping gaze, and after a long time, she said fiercely to Little Yu: "This round counts as my win, right?"

  That boy called Xiao Yu looked like a deserted monkey, with tears in his eyes, looking at Chen Yi and then at Little Sister, and said after a long time: "It's not that you succeeded on your own, the last condition doesn't count."

  The last condition, that is, the condition of "letting the loser do one thing", I don't know when it started, such a broad bet appeared on land, and instantly swept across half of the world like a cold.

  Little sister stood firm like a Bolshevik, raising one finger and saying: "Not a man."

  As he spoke, his fingers curled slightly.

  The boys' faces all turned green.

  "From today on, I am the executive vice president of Jiangning University's computer club. Next time we invade Fushan platform, it will be my responsibility. Xiao Yu, you are the second vice president." Little sister has learned from me and even came up with the term "executive vice president".

  The president of the club in Jiangning University needs to be appointed by the school, but as of today, it is not the case. The so-called vice-president has become the actual president.

  Xiao Yu frowned and turned his head left and right, wanting to find an ally. He said, "You're not students of Jiangning University..."

  "Never mind, I'll just go get a fake ID then." Chen Rongxi smiled mischievously and tiptoed to pat the boy's head, saying "A good gambler knows when to concede, men are more straightforward. It's settled then, let's start the barbecue!"

  Under her leadership, all the girls ran to the barbecue stall, and some went to fetch iced beer.

  Under the leadership of the girls, all the boys ran to the barbecue stall, and some even went to help carry ice beer.

  Only Chen Jia brothers and Xiao Yu were left on the scene. Chen Heng patted his shoulder sympathetically, saying "Get used to it."

  Chen Yi continued to draw circles on his thigh, constantly repeating the backdoor he left for himself in his mind. After losing the ability to copy the scroll's power, he could no longer determine whether it was successful or not, and could only wait for later to prove it.
