Chapter 176: The Hacker Who Crushes the Entire School (Ch 176)

“We can withdraw now. It’s a complete waste of time.” Taro Yamamoto said. His tone was very firm. He felt that there was no point in continuing to monitor “LittleBoy”.

Matsushita Ai didn’t say anything, but her eyes betrayed her inner feelings. She also felt that continuing to monitor LittleBoy was a waste of time. An internet celebrity was not worth their attention at all.

At the scene, Tuantuan had successfully broken through nine firewalls and obtained the files in the server.

This is not the end yet.

It is an encrypted file.

The questions posed by the organizing committee were indeed not that simple.

The last level is decryption.

Su Yang called up an analysis tool and found that the file used several complex encryption algorithms.

“It’s a bit difficult, Tuantuan, do you need daddy’s help?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

“No, Dad, I can do it.” Tuantuan said confidently.

As he was talking, Tuantuan retrieved several decryption tools and started to decrypt the files.

Time passed by minute by minute, and an hour passed. LittleBoy was still the only one who broke through nine firewalls. The masked contestant sitting in the first row had already broken through the eighth firewall, but was stuck at the last one, which was also the most difficult one. Tuantuan also took ten minutes to break through this firewall.

One hour and ten minutes later, the masked contestant finally broke through the ninth firewall.

One hour and twenty minutes later, the third, fourth, fifth… several contestants successively broke through the ninth firewall.

But what they were immediately faced with was an encrypted file.

Tuan Tuan has not yet succeeded in cracking it.

Su Yang is not in a hurry and he believes in Tuan Tuan’s strength.

There are 20 minutes left in the game.

“The time is almost up. Is there anyone who can complete the challenge?”

There are students talking in the audience.

At this moment, a prompt message suddenly appeared on the big screen:

“LittleBoy, successfully cracked the encrypted file!”

“Wow!”

“It’s LittleBoy, did it work?”

A student blinked and looked carefully at the big screen. It was LittleBoy.

LittleBoy was the first to complete the challenge.

“Yeah~~”

Tuan Tuan’s excited voice came from the headset, “Dad, I succeeded in the challenge!”

“My Tuantuan is so awesome!” Su Yang smiled.

“Brothers, take it down!”

Su Yang called out to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

“Wow! Boss, you’re awesome!”

“666666!”

“Boss, I bow down to you!”

“I knew there was no suspense in this match from the beginning.”

“My brother is awesome.”

…

The barrage of comments filled the screen.

A contestant sitting in the fifth row saw the prompt message on the big screen and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He had just broken through the sixth firewall, and there were still more than ten minutes left in the game. He had no chance.

His name is Wang Peng, and his technical level is considered very impressive in the circle. Before, when he was backstage, Wang Peng was not convinced by LittleBoy, especially after he knew that LittleBoy was a player specially invited by the organizing committee, he became even more unconvinced.

Just an internet celebrity.

As a result, I’m now slapped in the face.

At this moment, he was convinced.

The gap in strength is too big, I have no choice but to accept it.

“drop!”

With less than two minutes left in the game, the second contestant successfully cracked the encrypted file.

It was the contestant wearing the mask.

Su Yang glanced at him. This contestant’s name was unfamiliar and he had never heard of it before. Su Yang guessed that it was probably a pseudonym.

On the big screen, the countdown begins:

“The first round of competition is over!” the emcee announced loudly, “Please invite the judges to give the scores.”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

The contestants held their breath, waiting for the result.

A few minutes later, the emcee spoke, “Okay, please let the judges announce the scores.”

On the big screen, the contestants’ score rankings appeared:

First place: LittleBoy, time: 1 hour and 23 minutes, total score: 96 points.

Second place: Shadow, time: 1 hour and 58 minutes, total score: 82 points.

Third place: HackerZ, time: 1 hour and 59 minutes, total score: 80 points.

Fourth place: King, time: 2 hours and 1 minute, total score: 78 points.

Fifth place: Queen, time: 2 hours and 2 minutes, total score: 76 points.

…

The bottom 50 players were eliminated.

“Congratulations to the 50 contestants who advanced,” the emcee said. “Unfortunately, the bottom 50 contestants will have to leave the competition.”

One contestant, with frustration written all over his face, stood up and walked off the stage.

The other eliminated contestants also stood up one after another and left the stage.

There were only 50 contestants left on the stage.

“Take a 10-minute break. Players who need to go to the restroom, please hurry up.”

10 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The emcee walked onto the stage again, holding a microphone in his hand, and said loudly, “Dear guests, dear friends, welcome back to the first Matrix Cup Hacker Competition!”

“The second round of competition is about to begin. Please look at the big screen.”

On the big screen, the topic for the second round of competition appeared:

The organizing committee set up a closed room with no internet access. The contestants needed to obtain information from a computer in the room and transmit the information out.

This question tests the contestants on how to invade without an Internet connection.

Some people say that no matter how powerful hackers are, they can’t do anything without the Internet. Is that true?

Next, the picture on the big screen switched to a room with a computer and a staff member.

“Hello, hello, can you hear me?” the emcee shouted to the big screen.

“I heard it, host, hello, contestants, teachers, students, hello everyone.” The voice of the staff came from the big screen.

“Right now, I’m in a room in the teaching building of Shenzhen University.” The staff member said as he opened a chat software on his computer and simulated a voice call. Then he unplugged the network cable and the power cord of the router. “Now there is no network in the room. The contestants need to get the content of this video call without network.”

The challenge escalates again.

The time is still two hours.

“Contestants, please get ready. One minute countdown!”

On the big screen, a countdown appeared:

…

“Crackle, crackle…” The contestants have started typing on the keyboard.

“How can I get the information without Internet?”

“Isn’t this possible? Isn’t this too difficult?”

“No matter how powerful a hacker is, without the Internet, he can’t make a meal without rice!”

The contestants in the audience were whispering to each other.
