Zhang Chengyong: "Classmate Qiao? What gift are you returning?"
He couldn't help but worry a little, wanting Qiao Ying to keep an appropriate level.
Qiao Ying: "It's been reported in the news."
Zhang Chengyong was startled, taking out his phone: "It's on the news already? It's only been a few minutes, which country's news? Don't..."
Qiao Ying: "Worldwide."
Zhang Chengyong: "???"
Terms like [Hacker X] [Hua Country hackers are the most awesome], [Playing national anthem in Times Square] dominated the hot search trends.
The news was reporting wildly.
Qiao Ying's feat made Hua Country hackers cheer excitedly in front of screens, shouting X God, long live Hua Country.
On this day, Hua Country's computer experts and hackers stood up.
For outsiders, knowing Hacker X was from Hua Country might not have had huge shocking impact; it was just like soccer superstars Messi and C Ronaldo being from Hua Country.
But for the hacker empire, it was far more than that.
Various short video platforms were also filled with related videos.
Many overseas Hua Chinese flocked to the iconic buildings in the hacked locations where they lived, going live with viewer counts reaching hundreds of thousands, with gifts flying wildly.
They were all witnessing this historic moment.
All the country's people shared this moment of glory.
Hackers were already mysterious existences to start with; the veil of mystery around them added a filter that made Hacker X seem almost godlike to the public, with netizens shouting to marry Hacker X.
Not even Chinese New Year now had this kind of atmosphere.
Technical staff worked frantically but still could not restore the screens back to normal, so in order not to amplify the impact they could only unplug the power in the end.
Country M's Times Square, after intense work by technical staff and indignant local hackers who could not bear their wounded national dignity and rose up to resist, also decided to unplug the power eventually.
But they didn't succeed in unplugging the power that night.
The screens kept working, the Hua national anthem kept playing.
With the situation resolved, Qiao Ying came back, and Zhang Chengyong had not felt this good in a long time. He could not resist his curiosity.
"Classmate Qiao, could you have been doing some secret research this past year, or went into closed-door cultivation to intensively study medicine? Don't worry, I can keep secrets; I'm just concerned why you lost so much weight."
Qiao Ying closed her laptop: "Huo Chengdong said I was imprisoned by Qin Han Yue."
Zhang Chengyong: "That's the most farfetched version."
Qiao Ying: "What other versions are there?"
Zhang Chengyong thought about it: "The one our classmates talked about the most is that you secretly married the Qin brat and gave birth to his child, dropping out to be a housewife."
Qiao Ying said awkwardly: "That's the most farfetched."
Hacker X, who attracted worldwide attention, had his identity revealed, and news reports came out one after another about his brilliant feats. Netizens only now realized that playing the national anthem in Times Square and Red Square was nothing.
Any single one of his feats could be talked about for three days and three nights at the United Nations.
He was practically an aircraft carrier capable of expanding territory and reclaiming land in battle, not just the father of computing.
He was lacking only hacking into other countries' nuclear weapons arsenals to destroy the dead hand systems.
Maybe he had really done that, even succeeded at it before.
It just hadn't been discovered or reported.
On campus,
The students were all discussing this matter.
"Our first time being so close to a real hacker in life, so is Hacker X the most capable hacker?"
"The most capable? He went straight off a cliff!"
"Will our school not have situations like network being hacked and data being stolen from now on?"
"Are you kidding, who would still dare, with 90 percent of those who looked down on Hua Country's hackers actually being Hacker X's brainless fans, go ahead and judge for yourself if that seems possible or not."
"The hacker X who hackers treat like a god turned out to be from our Hua Country, fxxk me I need to calm down."
"How does a single English letter manage to automatically contain awesomeness? I'm going to get an X tattoo on my forehead right now!"
"This school belle Qiao Ying is a bit mystical, as soon as she came back this huge incident happened, instantly resolving the school's problems~"
"Did you guys forget that before, in the computing competition between us and Hanxi University, school belle Qiao Ying said she knew Hacker X quite well, she probably gave X God a phone call."
"Damn, this really happened? Why did no one report this to me?"
"I'm now wondering if that previous false accusation and nationwide network paralysis incident might not have been Young Master Qin's doing, but rather Hacker X helping school belle Qiao Ying get back at them."
"School belle Qiao Ying's computing skills must be teachings passed down directly from X God!"
"Having a hacker friend is fxxking awesome enough already, but this school belle Qiao Ying's friend happens to be the most fxxking awesome one!"
"Where did she make friends with such fxxking big shots."
"Is it just me who feels like school belle Qiao Ying and Hacker X have similar temperaments?"
"I feel the same way, playing the national anthem at Times Square, I feel like school belle Qiao Ying would also do something like that, friends have similar tastes right?"
"Indeed, no matter how handsome or capable, all personalities will eventually not escape Qiao Ying's Laws, with school belle Qiao Ying as the big shot among big shots!"
"Huh? School belle Qiao Ying is back? Weren't the rumors that she dropped out to secretly marry Young Master Qin and have his child, with the child already able to run around?"
Huo Chengdong excitedly ran over: "Miss Qiao, your friend is too fxxking awesome, playing the national anthem at Times Square, what a great idea, did you suggest that to him? That was such a sublime move!"
Huo Chengdong was extremely impressed by this accomplishment, bowing down in admiration with all five limbs prostrate on the ground.
"Miss Qiao, can you recommend him to me on WeChat? I promise not to bother him, I just want to have a big shot on my WeChat friend list to increase its awesomeness."
Qiao Ying: "Don't you already have him?"
Huo Chengdong looked at his phone: "Who?"
Qiao Ying: "I'll have her send you a message?"
Huo Chengdong: "Great!"
Huo Chengdong immediately put down his phone, rubbing his hands, with an expression of anticipation and nervousness: "Is he going to hack my phone?"
Right after he finished speaking, his phone rang. Huo Chengdong promptly widened his eyes: "Here it comes? For real?"
Qiao Ying: "Mm-hmm."
Still doubtful, Huo Chengdong became even more eager, thinking to himself that as expected nothing less from a top hacker, so fast.
He picked up the phone to look, everything was normal, WeChat was fine, there were no unknown messages, and no extra friend added out of the blue to his friend list either.
There was the new message his dear Miss Qiao sent him.
Miss Qiao: "."
Huo Chengdong: "What does that mean?"
Qiao Ying: "What do you think?"
Huo Chengdong was stunned for a few seconds, pupils contracting, sharply inhaling.
On one side, all kinds of reports about Hacker X continued to emerge, without revealing all of X God's glorious deeds yet.
On the other side, the chat records of the hackers' chat group were leaked.
It directly brought things to another climax.
[Hackers will be hackers, even their chat groups are special]
[I'm laughing to death, every single person in this group randomly pulled out is a big shot, but they are all chasing after X God's ass calling him big shot haha]
[These hackers are kissing too much ass! No, I won't allow them to kiss what's mine, X God is mine!]
[X God tagging Y to ask why aren't you moving to retaliate when they bullied you to your door, so handsome my legs are limp, I love this kind of face-slapping plot too much!]
[Y's reply is also sublime hahaha]
The chat records of the hacker chat group also spread on campus.
[Who is this hacker Y? Not just a Hua Country hacker right, should be privately friends with X God too right?]
[We'll have to ask school belle Qiao Ying who's quite close to them~]
