224 Competition
Oswald’s words infuriated Qiao Yue’s classmates instantly.
If it wasn’t for Hong Ning, they would have already surrounded Oswald and given him a beating.
“What are you talking about? If you know how to do it, why don’t you help?” Xu Hao frowned as he looked at Oswald.
“It’s not my business. Besides, you guys didn’t ask me for help.”
Xu Hao didn’t know if it was he was imagining things but when Oswald said this, he was looking in Qiao Yue’s direction.
But Qiao Yue’s eyes were staring at the error page displayed on the computer screen.
The computers in the security control room have probably been infected by a virus, and a primitive virus at that.
It would be easy to remove the virus, but the virus had a self-destruction code that would corrupt the data that was originally stored on the system. If the virus was simply removed, it might destroy the programs and data that were originally stored on the computers.
She didn’t know who Qiao Xin found to help her.
In less than 20 minutes, they beat someone up and implanted a virus. It was a rather impressive move.
Qiao Yue knew of another solution. She had studied this type of virus with YQ before and they had come up with many different solutions.
It was just that these methods involved some advanced frameworks and programming, which were probably unfamiliar to a college student of their age.
If she were to solve the problem now, she would be revealing her true capabilities in front of these people.
Qiao Yue took a deep breath. Hong Ning was a friend she made in Harvey, and she didn’t want her friend to get hurt.
She walked up to one of the workstations and was about to remove the virus when Oswald walked up. “I can help, but I have a condition.”
Qiao Yue ignored this random person and continued to deal with the virus.
“Aren’t you going to listen to my condition?” Oswald reached out and held down Qiao Yue’s hands.
“You college students probably can’t see the nuance of this virus.”
Qiao Yue pushed Oswald’s hand away. “Mr. Oswald, if you’re unwilling to help, please don’t disturb us here.”
Oswald chuckled. “You guys probably can’t tell, but if this virus was simply removed, you wouldn’t be able to retrieve the information you want.”
The few students with better grades who had been trying to solve the problem frowned. They had indeed thought of a way to crack it, but they had not expected it to be so dangerous.
Oswald sat in front of the workstation and took off his watch and necklace.
He quickly set up his watch and necklace. The necklace was a mini mainframe and a projector, while the watch was a monitor. Oswald had a satellite computer on him.
He connected his remote computer to the system in the security control room and raised an eyebrow at Qiao Yue. “You’ve never seen this before, right?”
How could Qiao Yue not have seen this before? These gadgets were produced by KA, which served advanced hackers.
Qiao Yue turned her head and continued to deal with the virus.
“I know you’ve already discovered the secret of this virus.” Oswald whispered to Qiao Yue while coding frantically.
Qiao Yue frowned and ignored his words.
However, Oswald wasn’t unhappy because of this. He coded while leaning back in his chair, as if he was relaxing on his couch at home.
Qiao Yue’s hands moved so fast that the students around her were stunned.
“Qiao Yue, do you really know how to do this?”
“Yeah, I know you’ve made great progress in your studies, but it’s such a tricky virus. Why don’t we get a teacher to help you?”
Everyone looked at Qiao Yue worriedly. They didn’t want the surveillance video to be destroyed.
Qiao Yue ignored their words and continued to focus on dealing with the virus.
Oswald was also very quick. It didn’t take long for him to type out a bunch of code.
Xu Hao looked at their screens with his mouth wide open. There were so many lines of code he didn’t recognize on both their screens. And the programming framework they were using was also something he had never seen before.
He remembered Qiao Yue’s performance when St. Faustina’s Institution attacked the Harvey forum.
Qiao Yue was not a substandard, country bumpkin student like he had imagined. Her mastery and understanding of programming definitely surpassed many people.
As time passed, everyone held their breath, waiting for the virus to be resolved.
Finally, the computer screens refreshed, and the surveillance video was displayed.
