Chapter 09: A Girlfriend Emerges in the Internet Café

Having spoken, disregarding the astonished gazes of those around, he opened the notepad he had just created and made a small modification, allowing the file to automatically self-destruct after 24 hours

I rely on it

Cheng Xu Mao mustered his courage and shouted loudly

The reason for this modification is that Cheng Xu aims to resolve the troubles of this evening; as for the computer restarting tomorrow, he is not particularly concerned about it

While reading an article about the future development directions of computer knowledge, Cheng Xu was greatly excited by two keywords: "personalization" and "intelligence." However, when Cheng Xu carefully searched the internet for information on these two aspects, the knowledge he obtained was minimal

The entire computer team exhibits an inverted pyramid distribution, with the highest number of individuals mastering Level A and the fewest mastering Level G

Long Lili glanced at Huang Mao Qin Ge, placed her hand on Cheng Xu's shoulder, and playfully said: "Cheng Ge, could you let me use the computer? I promise to agree to our relationship, okay?"

Cheng Xu was finally awakened by the clamorous noise, took out his phone, and checked the time; it was already 11:30.

Hackers emerged starting from Level D, and as one progresses to higher levels, the skills of the hackers become increasingly advanced

Unbeknownst to him, someone shouted, and instantly, a crowd surrounded Cheng Xu. Some who were about to leave, having already taken a step out of the internet café, turned back. Cheng Xu suddenly felt like a gorilla in a zoo, being observed by the masses. Each person's eyes were filled with a longing expression, fixated on the screen of Cheng Xu's computer.

At that time, Cheng Xu, out of curiosity, went to take a look, only to find that Long Lili looked down on him completely, saying that Cheng Xu was like a piece of wood and not fun at all

Seeing Cheng Xu engrossed in his book, the old man in the internet café suddenly burst into laughter. Cheng Xu felt embarrassed and did not understand what was happening. At that moment, the café owner brought over a napkin and a mirror, pointing at Cheng Xu's face. Cheng Xu picked up the mirror and took a look, and his face instantly turned bright red. It turned out that when the Little Dragon Girl left, she had bitten his cheek, leaving a red lip mark on his face.

Through exploration, Cheng Xu has summarized a grading standard for computer knowledge based on his reading speed of posts on the website: Level A: Basic computer knowledge, including fundamental computer concepts and software application knowledge, which Cheng Xu has basically mastered; Level B: Basic knowledge of software applications, including the use and techniques of commonly used computer software, which Cheng Xu is currently in; Level C: System operation knowledge, including system maintenance and common troubleshooting; Level D: Basic knowledge of computer languages, including simple programming and the use of hacking tools; Level E: Computer network technology, which Cheng Xu has basically mastered; Level B: Basic knowledge of software applications, including the use and techniques of commonly used computer software, which Cheng Xu is currently in; Level C: System operation knowledge, including system maintenance and common troubleshooting; Level D: Basic knowledge of computer languages, including simple programming and the use of hacking tools; Level E: Computer network technology, including network communication, website construction, and server construction, starting from this level, some tasks cannot be completed by an individual but require teamwork; Level F: Advanced knowledge of computer languages, including the writing of complex, large-scale programs, and the diverse and innovative application of hacking techniques, at this level, one can basically be considered a hacking expert; Level G: Computer language development, at this level, includes network communication, website construction, and server construction, starting from this level, some tasks cannot be completed by an individual but require teamwork; Level F: Advanced knowledge of computer languages, including the writing of complex, large-scale programs, and the diverse and innovative application of hacking techniques, at this level, one can basically be considered a hacking expert; Level G: Computer language development, at this level, one has the ability to restructure computer operating systems and develop unique computer languages, such as the development of Unix, which was initially developed by Ken and Dennis at Bell Labs, later giving rise to three main branches: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD, which have been continuously developed and utilized throughout their evolution. Individuals who master knowledge at this level are considered top experts and leaders in the development of computer technology.

As more people gathered in the internet café, it became lively. What was even more interesting was that two groups were engaged in a heated CS battle, truly intense and fervent. Those who arrived late and did not get to use a computer stood by watching, and around several skilled players, a crowd of spectators had formed, creating a scene of throngs of people.

This young man with yellow hair is precisely one of the key players from one side of the recent CS match

Swiftly, Cheng Xu devised a plan in his heart

A charming female voice rang out, and Cheng Xu turned to see a stylishly dressed woman in her twenties squeezing her way to the front of the crowd. Cheng Xu immediately felt overwhelmed; this girl was Long Lili, the daughter of Long Haisheng, the head of the county's Business Bureau. Cheng Xu recognized her because, shortly after graduating, some well-meaning individuals learned that he had been accepted into a prestigious university and was about to become a civil servant, leading them to introduce him to potential matches.

This world has been completely turned upside down

At exactly 12:01, the sound of computers restarting in the internet café rose and fell, as all the computers fell into a cycle of 365 restarts. Accompanying the restarts were countless curses echoing throughout the café. Just as the game was about to determine a winner, this sudden restart was unbearable for anyone!

Such bold words coming from Long Lili took everyone around her by surprise. Long Lili usually plays and goes wild with everyone, but it has never been heard that anyone could engage in a romantic relationship with her. Some daring individuals attempted to approach her, only to end up with their noses rubbed in the dirt.

The internet café owner was the first to react, quickly taking out the USB drive he carried with him, copying the antivirus program, and hurriedly following Cheng Xu's instructions to address the computer issue

Cheng Xu was diligently searching for information in the internet café, completely oblivious to everything around him. He was unaware that after 7 PM, the number of people in the café was increasing. Due to the impact of the Infinite Rebirth Virus, home computers would enter a reboot loop as soon as they were powered on, which was quite frustrating. As a result, many people chose to go to the internet café to go online, as the machines there would not reboot until midnight, and there were still five hours left until then

Dah! Dah! Dah! ... ...

Cheng Xu has come to understand that the two groups are not fighting over the use of a single computer, but rather over authority. This Long Lili, whom he saw as pure and innocent during their blind date, surprisingly seems to be thriving in society, regarded as a "big sister" by these young men. When the two groups clash, he finds himself caught in the middle; if a fight breaks out, it could be quite uncomfortable for him.

This has delighted the owner of the internet café. Since the gradual popularization of home computers, it has been a long time since so many people visited the internet café to go online. However, this bustling scene can only be sustained until 12 o'clock. It can be said that the owner has a complex relationship with the infinite respawn virus, feeling both love and hate.

Another young man said: "Brother Qin, once this virus breaks out, the CS servers are all shut down, and we can only play the single-player version. It's not fun to play alone, so why don't we go out for barbecue and come back after 2 o'clock"

Huang Mao and Long Lili were momentarily taken aback by the shout, turning their heads to look at Cheng Xu

Upon witnessing Long Lili's actions, most people in the internet café had such thoughts

After the internet café owner finished handling all the computers, order was restored in the internet café m. hetushu. comcom, and the two groups, Huang Mao and Long Lili, continued their CS battles. Although it was a local area network version of the game and not as thrilling as online battles, it was better than nothing

Long Lili proudly tossed her head back, her face full of triumph, and her body unconsciously leaned against Cheng Xu, as if there were indeed something to it. As soon as Long Lili finished speaking, the members of her team and those of the Huangmao team quickly divided into two groups, creating a strong possibility of a confrontation.

After Cheng Xu wiped the marks off his face, the internet café owner said, "Brother Cheng, thank you for helping me out. Your internet fees for tonight are on the house. How about selling me that specialized weapon? Name your price."

As soon as everyone saw this, they could continue playing on the computer, and all attention turned to the internet café owner to see if he could truly eliminate the virus. Sure enough, after a series of operations by the internet café owner, one computer quickly returned to normal

However, in the face of the domineering virus, all that people can do is sigh in regret and curse.

Cheng Xu felt a sense of regret, but what could be done now? He had no choice but to proceed with his studies step by step, striving to quickly master the existing knowledge of computers, reach the pinnacle of the pyramid, and then gradually explore the issues of computer personalization and intelligence

Immediately afterward, Cheng Xu downloaded some interesting content from the website to his computer, preparing to continue his efforts after 12 o'clock

Stop messing around

I have an antivirus program here. For the infected machine, start it in safe mode, place it in the startup items, and then restart to eliminate the infinitely regenerating virus

Good

Since the night after graduating from university when he spent the entire night playing with his classmates in an internet café, nearly two months have passed, and he has not spent such a long time online in an internet café. Previously, Cheng Xu would play all night long, engaging in games and graphic adventures, just like others in the café. A week ago, he could hardly have imagined that he would plan to stay up all night for the purpose of learning computer knowledge.

The final battle has begun! The last game!

When the computer starts up and operates normally, the internet café is filled with bursts of applause.

However, Cheng Xu's enthusiasm for reading grew increasingly high, and he wanted to continue. To avoid being affected by the Infinite Rebirth Virus, Cheng Xu opened a notepad and began to develop a specialized tool to eliminate the virus. Before long, he completed the tool and then activated it. Once the virus was triggered, it would be eradicated by the specialized tool.

There is a computer here that is still functioning normally

Hearing the applause, Cheng Xu felt a surge of pride in his heart

At that moment, the internet café owner hurried in, ready to mediate the conflict

Will computer knowledge in the next thirty years develop in these two directions? To awaken the knowledge inheritance in my mind, there must be existing computer knowledge. However, the current computer knowledge can barely be considered to have touched the edges of personalization, let alone intelligence. How can we awaken this knowledge inheritance?

A young man with blonde hair spoke up: "Hey there, if you let me use your computer, I will cover all your internet costs for tonight."

"Cheng Xu, it is you"

But now, she actually

He is my boyfriend, so what

Long Lili is the leader of another CS team. Upon seeing her, Huang Mao immediately turned cold and said: "Little Dragon Girl, I was the one who proposed this first. We must adhere to the principle of order in everything."

As the clock approaches twelve o'clock, the people in the internet café appear to be invigorated, displaying an extraordinary level of excitement

Specially killing for money? Cheng Xu, who had little concept of money, suddenly saw countless colorful bills flying before his eyes
