Chapter 2401 - 2409: Another Great God?

Chris clearly wasn’t fooled and chuckled, "Yakunta, are you trying to set me up? Attacking the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau at this time would mean declaring war against the legendary long_7, wouldn’t it?"

"Chris, don’t worry. If you successfully break through the vulnerabilities repaired by Liu Yi, we can help the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau fix a vulnerability. That way, we wouldn’t owe the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau anything."

"Yakunta is right, Chris. We’re just testing Liu Yi’s skills. At least on the surface, I haven’t found any vulnerabilities."

Seeing everyone persuading her, Chris smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll give it a try. Maybe, I might not find any vulnerabilities either."

"Chris, you must be joking. Although your overall strength doesn’t rank in the top ten, when it comes to finding vulnerabilities, you could definitely be in the top five in the world!"

"Chris, we all know each other here, no need to be modest. Let’s get started."

In the midst of everyone’s flattery, Chris felt great and laughed, "Okay, I’ll give it a try. Since Liu Yi is using base-32, I won’t take advantage of him and will use base-32 too!"

"Hahaha, Chris, you make it sound like you know base-64? It seems not even all the top ten greats necessarily know base-64."

"Pff! Can’t you keep some secrets?" she joked, and Chris began her attack on the vulnerabilities repaired by Qin Yu.

Chris’s ability to find vulnerabilities was strong. In the blink of an eye, she input dozens of source codes, launching probes through various ports using different disguising methods.

At first, Chris’s expression was calm, as Liu Yi was not well-known.

But in less than two minutes, large beads of sweat appeared on Chris’s forehead. She was completely blocked outside the official website of the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau, unable to find even a single backdoor!

"Impossible! How could it be so perfectly repaired? Even the legendary long_7 couldn’t achieve this!" Chris started to lose it and grabbed her hair.

"Eh? It seems Chris is unable to do anything with these vulnerabilities! Are there any greats who can use base-64 here?" Yakunta yelled out.

Unfortunately, Yakunta’s shouting didn’t receive any response! Because those who can use base-64 are the top ten experts in the World Hacker Rankings!

Such masters wouldn’t bother competing against an unknown junior. Winning would bring no glory, but losing would be disastrous!

Even some of the top twenty greats had tried, but they had no solution!

Five minutes later, Chris said with a frustrated face, "My fellow comrades, I have let everyone down! I cannot break through the vulnerabilities repaired by Liu Yi! At least from my perspective, his repairs are flawless!"

Chris’s words brought silence to the entire chat window, and everyone’s expressions were priceless as they turned their attention to the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau’s official website.

Some skeptical hackers began attacking the vulnerabilities repaired by Qin Yu, but no matter what methods they used, these repaired vulnerabilities were like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron! They couldn’t find any way to break through!

"How is this possible! Even if the vulnerabilities were repaired using a base-64 computation method, they couldn’t be this robust! This is unscientific!"

"This is insane! Is Huaxia about to unveil another great master?"

Qin Yu had no idea that he had caused such a great impact on the World Hacker Alliance, and he continued to repair vulnerabilities at his leisure.

The situation finally started to calm down for Chen Dong, "Good! Good! These little rascals are still somewhat useful. Half an hour has passed, and the Internet Surveillance Bureau’s official website is becoming more stable! Fewer IPs are breaching in!"

Chen Dong didn’t realize that all this was actually Qin Yu’s accomplishment. While others repaired vulnerabilities through which hackers could find other backdoors, Qin Yang’s repairs were thorough, leaving no backdoors to exploit.

Therefore, each vulnerability fixed by Qin Yu made the Internet Surveillance Bureau’s official website more stable, and reduced the pressure on its staff.

An hour had passed, and the South Korean hackers finally ceased their attacks, realizing that there were fewer and fewer vulnerabilities to exploit on the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau’s official website!

Initially, a single person at the Internet Surveillance Bureau was responsible for several vulnerabilities, which definitely led to some oversights.

But gradually, as the vulnerabilities decreased in number, now one person was in charge of each one, and there was hardly any room for error. As soon as a rogue IP was detected, the Internet Surveillance Bureau would launch a concerted attack.

Unless they were top-ranked experts, no one could withstand such an onslaught.

"Yay! The little sticks have finally given up! Long live the director! Long live my brothers and sisters!" a staff member of the Internet Surveillance Bureau roared with joy!

Soon, the Huaxia Internet Surveillance Bureau turned into a sea of joy! They did it! Even without the legendary Lin, they did it!

Qin Yu gently shook his head, wondering if they really needed to be this happy? Among the South Korean hackers who had just attacked, the highest-ranked one was only thirty-ninth.

"Don’t celebrate too soon," he said, "those who just attacked were just small fries. If a few hackers ranked in the top twenty break through, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold them off."

Qin Yu’s voice was soft, but it clearly resonated in everyone’s minds.

Chen Dong laughed, "Mr. Qin, you worry too much. The World Hacker Alliance has an agreement, the top ten ranked hackers are forbidden from attacking any country’s Internet Surveillance Bureaus without cause."

Qin Yu shrugged, "Since it’s really safe now, Mr. Chen, please take care of the ransomware on our Emperor Group’s smartphones."

Huh? Chen Dong was stunned. Damn it, was Qin waiting here for him? If he had known, he wouldn’t have shown off so much! Now, look, he was caught in it, wasn’t he?

With a pinched nose, Chen Dong had no choice but to say, "Did you hear that? Attack the ransomware on the smartphones under the Emperor Group’s brands with all your might!"

The staff members of the Internet Surveillance Bureau showed bitter smiles, as they couldn’t trace the attacker’s IP and eradicate the source of the ransomware.

Even if they managed to eliminate the virus on the smartphones, the attacker could simply create a variant, and the virus would explode again!

However, they couldn’t tell this to Qin Yu and Mo Yuqi, as that would just reveal their incompetence.

The staff members of the Internet Surveillance Bureau buckled down and attacked the ransomware ferociously!

Soon, the ransomware on several smartphones under the Emperor Group was completely eliminated, and the complaints from users subsided substantially, as did the calls for refunds.

After receiving the report from below, Mo Yuqi sincerely thanked Chen Dong, "Thank you, Director Chen, for helping our Emperor Group through this tough time."

"Hahaha... no need for thanks, it’s our duty! Moreover, we didn’t do very well," Chen Dong felt somewhat guilty, hoping there wouldn’t be any variants of the ransomware!

"Hehe... Director Chen is really modest," Mo Yuqi laughed.

Qin Yu, however, gently shook his head, "Qiqi, actually, Director Chen isn’t being modest. He’s telling the truth. They really did a poor job, and it was very unprofessional!"

Huh? Qin Yu’s words stunned Mo Yuqi. Mo Yuqi blinked, unsure why Qin Yu would say such a thing.

Chen Dong’s face turned the color of liver, and he coldly said, "Mr. Qin, you do have some hacking skills, but what gives you the right to make such outrageous claims?"

"Outrageous claims? Hehe... let me ask you, Director Chen, why don’t you find the root source of the ransomware? Why do you perform these superficial tasks meant to fool us?"
