Chapter 300: Chapter 299: The World Hacker Competition

Late at night, 10th Street, Angel Road, New York.

The shops on the street closed their doors one by one, and the dim yellow street lights came on one by one. Only a few beverage shops were lit up. Out of nowhere, the white fog shrouded this quiet street, separating it from the rest of the world.

It was an extremely quiet street.

The world hacker competition was an underground competition. Only hackers and enthusiasts in this field knew about the existence of this competition. At this moment, the hacker forum was crowded. The forum had opened a live broadcast room and invited a black-masked, black-robed “Hacker K” to give a live commentary.

In the live broadcast room, Hacker K cleared his throat, and he put on his voice changer. “Hello, old friends. It’s 10 o’clock on September 25th, and there’s still an hour before the official start of the competition. Today, we will be watching this gam — cough, I mean, this hacker competition.”

Hacker K chirped, “The competition is divided into three parts. Finding system vulnerabilities; breaking through the firewall; and finally, the peak showdown.”

“Hackers need to find the vulnerabilities in the first stage. Within an hour, the first 10 hackers who find the most number of system vulnerabilities will enter the top 10.”

“In the second stage, the abilities of the hackers will be tested with the firewall test. The hackers who enter the top 10 will need to hack into the development system and completely disable the system. The two fastest hackers will enter the finals.”

“The third stage is the showdown. The two hackers who enter the finals need to attack the other party’s computer and must disable the other party’s computer in order to win. The winner will get 30 million dollars — oh my God! That’s a lot of money!” Hacker K was terrified.

30 million dollars…

He didn’t know if it was legal.

Hacker K covered his mask, his heart surging.

“Ahem, okay, okay. Everyone in the live broadcast room understands the rules of the competition. Now, let us look at the picture on the big screen. The finals will be held within a five-kilometer radius of Tenth Street. All hackers must enter the participating area and connect to the network signal source of the forum. They can choose to find a corner and sit down. Those who have money can go to a hotel and book a room. They can also take a bath and play with their computers.”

Unlike normal competitions, the top 100 hackers are not required to show their faces. As long as they brought their computers into Tenth Street and connect to the signal source of the forum, they could officially start the competition.

“Alright, alright. Everyone, please calm down. The contestants are slowly entering Tenth Street.” Hacker K yawned and lazily rested his chin on his hand, “Viewers in the live broadcast room, I’ll remind you by the way. Don’t call the police and control yourselves. This competition is not official — Haha, I’m Just joking.”

Viewers in the live broadcast room: “…”

The comments kept rolling across the screen.

“This year’s commentary style… why is it a little b*tchy? It doesn’t seem very professional…”

“Hacker K, I don’t know why but he reminds me of Ace of Hearts. Is there any connection between the two?”

“If I ride a small electric scooter to Tenth street, maybe I’ll run into Tiger by chance.”

“Blind guess, this year’s champion is still Tiger!”

“Come on, Ace of Hearts is the dark horse. Tiger is nothing…”

…

On the screen of the live broadcast room, [ K ], who was wearing a mask and a black robe and had covered himself completely, was completely not in the mood to pay attention to these comments. He lazily stretched his back and waited for the start of the game in boredom.

…

Tenth Street.

The black luxury car slowly drove in. Bobo pointed at the neon-lit KFC not far away. Bobo said, “Brother, let’s go to that 24-hour KFC. This is the location I chose. If you’re hungry, you can eat a luxurious family bucket too..”
