Chapter 249: Yan, Don’t Be Angry with Me

“See? I told you no one knows this.”

Chu Luo pursed her lips and paused for a few seconds on the keyboard. “I’ll try alone.”

The boys looked at her at the same time, shocked by her persistence. Then, they advised her:

“Junior, this isn’t easy to do.”

“That’s right. If you want to build a Taiji Eight Trigrams defense wall, you have to build one that can cover the entire empire. Not to mention anything else, just the amount of work alone can’t be completed in two days.”

“That’s right. Junior Chu, don’t waste your energy.”

“Let’s pay more attention to those teams that are taking advantage of the situation.”

“Basically, everyone from the Empire who’s participating in the competition this year has participated in it two years ago. Everyone has experience now.”

Not only did these words not dispel Chu Luo’s enthusiasm, but they also aroused her competitive spirit.

She asked, “Will my withdrawal from the defense affect you guys?”

When the boys heard her question, they knew she hadn’t given up. Everyone thought she could play with it if she wanted. They hadn’t expected her to be able to do anything anyway.

“It doesn’t matter if one is missing.”

Chu Luo nodded and left the defensive line that everyone had built.

Then, she didn’t act immediately. Instead, she combed through all the computer science knowledge she had learned and the online classes taught by professors from all over the world.

Half an hour later, she quickly moved into action.

2:00 AM.

A row of words flashed across the empire universities’ Computer Science departments and computer enthusiasts’ computers.

“I’ll be borrowing this computer for two days. Please keep it on at all times. If you copy, please press the space button.”

Those who left computers on for the Empire Team were all night owls. They were definitely watching the live broadcast of this match.

When they saw this line, they quickly moved away the instruments that could interfere with the computer. Some people who had the financial means even specifically prepared a small generator.

At 2:30 in the morning, all the backup computers that the entire empire had prepared for the participants pressed the blank button.

When a participant in City H went to the toilet and heard someone talking about this, he was shocked.

He quickly ran back and said to his companion, “Imperial University’s Feng Ling is controlling all the empty computers.”

“No way. Does this person really intend to set up a Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network?”

“Isn’t this a waste of effort?”

“Not only is it a waste of energy, but if we had to borrow a computer at the last minute, it would be very troublesome.”

“Didn’t you guys read the information? Feng Ling is Chu Luo, this year’s college entrance examination top scholar, the one who stole the limelight at the Imperial University freshman mobilization.”

“Pfft, how dare she challenge everyone in a place like Imperial University? I wonder if she’s been dealt with?”

“Definitely not. Chu Luo is so beautiful. Who would bear to do that? Hahaha…”

“No. No matter how beautiful she is, she can’t fool around. This concerns the glory of the entire empire’s university students. We have to make her stop.”

“Someone is already warning her.”

After a while.

“That Chu Luo is too much. She actually didn’t listen to the warning.”

“If she doesn’t listen, destroy her program. We can’t lose the greater for the less. If we lose, can she take responsibility?”

5:30 AM.

“F*ck! Chu Luo’s programming network can’t be destroyed.”

2:00 PM.

“Hah! We’ve finally eliminated that group of people who teamed up to attack us!”

“Did you notice that the two teams that wanted to rob us couldn’t successfully attack?”

“It’s normal that they couldn’t successfully attack. We’ve sent participants from several provinces to deal with them.”

“That’s true.”

…

The people who were dealing with the two teams were dumbfounded.

“What’s going on? I’ve been waiting for so long. Why aren’t these people attacking?”

“Are they so weak that they can’t break through our protective wall?”

“That’s impossible. The ones attacking us are the teams from Country B and Country L. These two teams are best at sneak attacks. We compete every year. It’s impossible for them to leave without leaving a trace this year.”

“Indeed… Then what happened?”

…

Tang Zhiyun looked at Chu Luo, who had been typing on the keyboard, and said worriedly, “Junior, go back and rest for a few hours. You have been programming for so long. Can your fingers stand it?”

Chu Luo had been typing on the keyboard. She hadn’t rested for so many hours. Even they couldn’t stand it.

The others were also shocked by her “valiance,” especially the four boys.

Hu Yong said, “Junior Chu, it doesn’t matter if we can’t build the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network. Didn’t we resist the team that ambushed us just now?”

Zhou Xingyu also said, “That’s right. I can’t take it anymore. I plan to rest for a few hours. You should go back to your place and sleep.”

The others also advised her similarly.

Chu Luo looked up from the computer screen after almost a minute. She looked at them with her confident eyes. “Who said I can’t build the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network?”

The rest of them looked at each other and walked behind her to look at her computer.

What they saw made their mouths drop open in shock and their eyes widen.

Hu Yong: “Awesome! Junior Chu, you actually succeeded!”

Yu Lei: “Too cool! This kind of defensive net really looks like a Taiji diagram.”

Zhou Xingyu: “Junior Chu, how did you do that?”

Zeng Xiaoqiang: “Junior Chu, has your defensive net been operational before this?”

…

As she faced everyone’s question, the corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. “Taiji gives birth to the two principles. The two principles give birth to the four phases. The four phases give birth to the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams give birth to the sixty-four paths. From then on, there are endless changes.”

Other than Tang Zhiyun, who seemed to understand what Chu Luo said, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Xie Minghai scratched his head. “Junior, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

The others nodded in agreement. “We don’t understand either.”

Chu Luo laughed, and so did Tang Zhiyun. “Junior, you mean that this defense network is ever-changing and that the other party can’t attack even if they want to, right?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

Wang Luming was speechless. He couldn’t help but ask, “What if it’s a real hacker attack?”

Chu Luo was very confident. “Even if it’s a real hacker attack, I’ll let him in but he won’t be able to leave.”

Hu Yong: “D*mn! So awesome!”

“You’ll know how effective it is soon.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and stood up. “I’ll go back and sleep for a few hours. I’ll come over again at night.”

“Okay.”

The rest of them watched Chu Luo leave and quickly surrounded her computer. Looking at the Taiji diagram on it, they felt that it was incredible.

Hu Yong looked at the changing images without blinking and asked, “Do you think Junior Chu’s defense network can really trap hackers?”

Xie Minghai had a proud look on his face. “If Junior says yes, it definitely can.”

…

At this moment, everyone was exhausted.

Many people were prepared to rest for a while.

However, there were also teams that took advantage of this moment to deliberately launch a sneak attack.

When they thought about how the other teams who had ambushed the Empire Team had kicked an iron plate, those people were shocked.

“Why did the Empire Team’s defense network suddenly become so strong?”

“It’s not strong, it’s crazy. I’ve never seen such a defense network that transforms more than ten thousand times per second. I’m certain that even the most powerful hacker in the world or the people at the center of the country’s network can’t break through this defense network.”

“How can we fight them now!”

…

Chu Luo returned to the building, and when she woke up, it was already past nine in the evening.

After washing up, she went downstairs and saw Li Yan sitting on the sofa, typing on his computer with a cold expression.

The moment Li Yan heard footsteps, he turned to look at her. He put down his laptop and stood up to stride towards her.

Chu Luo stopped on the last two steps and looked at Li Yan, who didn’t look too good. She touched his cheek and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Yan reached out and carried her over.

Chu Luo blinked and looked up at his face.

Li Yan frowned and asked in a low voice, “You only came back this afternoon?”

Chu Luo nodded. “I created an especially powerful defense net for our empire last night.”

After saying that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tiptoed to rub her face against his.

Li Yan’s cold expression was instantly ruined by her wheedling actions.

He raised her up a little higher and lowered his head to seal her lips.

“Mm…”

After a while.

Chu Luo pushed him away, panting. “I’m going to the technology building.”

“Eat first.”

Li Yan let go of her and led her to the dining table.

After walking to the dining table, Chu Luo wanted to pick up her chopsticks, but she realized that her fingers were a little sore.

Li Yan kept looking at her. Once she stopped, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Luo looked at him and suddenly felt a little aggrieved. A watery glint appeared in her eyes as she said pitifully, “My hand hurts.”

Li Yan pursed his lips and his expression turned ugly. However, he carefully took her hand and massaged it. As he did so, he asked in a low voice, “How long have you been programming for?”

“Ten…”

Chu Luo looked at his darkened expression and tugged at his sleeve with her other hand. She said in a soft voice, “Yan, don’t be angry with me.”

Li Yan couldn’t withstand her voice and the anger in his heart dissipated.

However, in order to teach her a lesson, he deliberately said with a dark countenance, “Don’t do this again.”

Chu Luo nodded obediently. “Okay~”
