Chapter 05: Developing Specialized Attack Tools

Cheng Xu moved the mouse and excitedly clicked "Yes"; the computer immediately returned to calm. No matter how the mouse was clicked, the infinite resurrection virus no longer activated.

Since a treasure trove has been acquired, one must find a way to convert the treasure into wealth

Cheng Xu thought about how most websites on the internet were inaccessible: "It seems that the spread of this virus is indeed rapid, even those major websites have been affected. I estimate that the network administrators are engaged in an endless battle with this strange virus."

Cheng Xu stood up and happily said to Director Chai, "The computer is functioning normally now"

A minor issue, easily resolved in a matter of minutes

Then, Cheng Xu cast a guilty glance at the small office and deliberately lowered his voice to repeat, "It was personally arranged by Director Chai."

Having finished speaking, Cheng Xufei rushed out of the Party and Government Office, as he did not want to give He Jie any time to lose her temper

Discretion is also a way of conducting oneself in the officialdom. Cheng Xu, unknowingly, began to align his thoughts and actions with certain unspoken rules of the political arena, gradually bidding farewell to the era of being a "novice"

Cheng Xu rushed out the door and sprinted to the office, then immediately lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over his head, and laughed triumphantly.

Cheng Xu quickly took a deep breath to calm his emotions and, seizing the moment while Director Chai was in a good mood, requested: "Director Chai, today is Friday, and this afternoon there is a vehicle to deliver Mayor Li's article to the county. May I catch a ride with the library's vehicle?"

Watching Cheng Xu skillfully typing and producing a series of strange characters, He Jie, who had studied basic assembly language, realized what Cheng Xu was doing and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you could program. What are you coding? I can't understand it"

What is going on

Chai Sang found these two individuals somewhat interesting, yet they merely wore smiles on their faces without expressing anything further

It turns out that they were all infected with a virus

Unexpectedly, Director Chai not only agreed to his request but also showed exceptional kindness by allowing him to leave work early to pack his things, which was an unexpected gain

Cheng Xu was extremely excited at that moment, quickly exiting Director Chai's office, fearing that his overwhelming emotions might affect his image in Director Chai's eyes

Today has been truly delightful! To receive a smile of appreciation from the usually indifferent Director Chai, and to see the proud town government officials at a loss for words, is indeed a great joy in life

Cheng Xu could finally hold his head high in front of He Jie and said, "Director Chai asked me to go back to the dormitory to pack my things and hitch a ride home this afternoon"

Cheng Xu placed the document into the startup items and then restarted the computer

As Cheng Xu's excitement subsided, he immediately realized that he had become too complacent. He thought to himself: "This won't do; one must remain low-key in the face of events. After all, how did the hacker Maierdan meet his end? Was it not due to his excessive ostentation and the reasons behind it?"

Thinking about the need to remain low-key, Cheng Xu quickly regained his excitement and further enhanced his ability to control his emotions

Success is imminent

At this point, Cheng Xu felt absolute confidence in resolving this virus. With knowledge of computers from thirty years in the future, eliminating this minor virus was indeed a trivial matter

Cheng Xu picked up "Assembly Language" again and began to read. However, after a few pages, he had to put it down helplessly, as the content was incomprehensible. Just a few pages in, he felt dizzy, reminiscent of his previous experiences reading such books.

Cheng Xu understood that if knowledge inheritance is merely applied without creation, certain aspects cannot be fully integrated, thus failing to truly acquire the essence of knowledge inheritance. Therefore, Cheng Xu decided to take this weekend to visit a bookstore to explore books on computers, identify methods for transforming knowledge inheritance, and formulate a learning plan, striving to convert knowledge inheritance into his own capabilities in a short period of time

All right

Chai Sang picked up the mouse and tried it out; indeed, the restart prompt did not appear again. Smiling, he said to Cheng Xu: "Xiao Cheng, I didn't expect you to be such a computer expert. Thank you very much."

What happened

Is it necessary to learn according to a certain process based on one's own knowledge in order to truly transform inherited knowledge into one's own? Is it that, in daily life, one can only apply the inherited knowledge?

Of course

Success or failure hinges on this one decisive moment

It is indeed not easy for Director Chai to sincerely say the word "thank you" to his subordinates

This book covers the most fundamental knowledge of computers, and the ability to remember it in a short period may be attributed to the medium of the book awakening the knowledge inherited in the mind, thus transforming it into personal memory, which will not be forgotten in the future. However, why do I forget the code I write?

Chaisang was feeling quite pleased and readily replied, "Alright, if there’s nothing going on in the office, you can go back to the dormitory to pack your things."

Thank you, Director Chai

Hmph

Is it fixed

Cheng Xu shot a displeased glance at He Jie, who, in a huff, turned and left the office. Looking at the things he had produced, Cheng Xu suddenly felt a bit perplexed. He was entirely working based on the instructions that emerged in his mind, engaging in a subconscious act. What he had created was incomprehensible even to him; he only knew to follow the commands. Regarding He Jie's questions, he actually did not understand them himself and did not know how to respond, so he could only resort to verbal sparring. Even he could not make sense of it, only knowing to follow the instructions. As for He Jie's inquiries, he truly did not comprehend them and was at a loss for answers, thus he could only engage in verbal sparring.

The computer started up slowly, and Cheng Xu, feeling anxious, stared intently at the startup screen, feeling that time was indeed dragging on. Once the computer finished booting, the screen flickered, and a dialog box popped up: "Infinite Rebirth Virus detected, would you like to remove it?"

He Jie looked at Cheng Xu, who was beaming with pride, in confusion

As Cheng Xu's mood began to calm, he started to tidy up his belongings. Noticing the unpatched "leak" in the window, he quickly found a ruler to measure its size and ran to the town to cut a piece of glass to install. "No leaks means safety." While organizing his things, Cheng Xu repeatedly recalled the process of writing the specialized malware removal tool, hoping to find a method for acquiring and utilizing knowledge transfer. However, Cheng Xu felt disappointed. What code had he just written for the specialized malware removal tool? "No leaks means safety." While tidying up, he kept recalling the process of writing the specialized malware removal tool, hoping to find a way to acquire and utilize knowledge transfer. Yet, he felt disheartened. What code had he just typed for the specialized malware removal tool? What was the function of each line of code? What was the relationship between the codes? Cheng Xu felt as if he had lost his memory; apart from remembering that he had indeed opened the notepad and typed some characters, everything else seemed to have slipped his mind.

Cheng Xu wanted to laugh heartily, but in front of the stern Director Chai, he did not dare to do so. He could only force himself to suppress his laughter, and the expression on his face was exceedingly awkward.

Alas, controlling one's emotions is indeed quite difficult. If one wishes to achieve success in the officialdom, this is indispensable. No wonder others used to say that I was oblivious to the situation; it turns out that everything is written on one's face. It seems that I must cultivate this aspect further in the future

All this information is stored in one's own mind, and it will suddenly emerge when needed

The problem has been resolved, and Cheng Xu felt a sense of satisfaction as he gazed at the *map* and *book*, finally believing that he possessed computer knowledge that surpassed the times by thirty years. "From now on, I shall be the top computer expert, surpassing the times by thirty years, standing tall in the world, who can rival me?"

Soon, Cheng Xu finished coding, pressed the save button, and saved the document as a special program type. This small specialized tool was completed in less than ten minutes.

Do not make a fuss; do not interfere with the work of professionals

He Jie looked angrily at Cheng Xu's shadow disappearing at the office door, her heart filled with even more confusion: "This guy, after just one drink, has become so enlightened. How did his abilities increase so dramatically? He can even easily resolve computer viruses?"

Chaisang saw a smile appear on Cheng Xu's face and said, "Xiao Cheng, can this computer be repaired?"

After tidying up, Cheng Xu noticed a computer book titled "Introduction to Computer Knowledge" on the desk and couldn't help but pick it up to flip through it. One page, two pages, three pages; Cheng Xu read with remarkable fluency, turning a page almost every second. A few minutes later, he finished reading the book and silently recalled it, surprisingly managing to memorize all the knowledge contained within in such a short time.

No.

Cheng Xu felt reassured. The moment the computer restarted, he quickly pressed "F8" to enter safe mode, opened the laptop, and began typing away.

Director Chai noticed Cheng Xu's unpleasant expression and inquired
