Chapter 23: Top Hacker Attempts to Hack into System, Gets Beaten Up by the Village Dog's Firewa
A top hacker tried to infiltrate the system but was brutally beaten up by the firewall of the big yellow dog at the village entrance.
The piercing alarm still echoed in the spacious floating living room, while the blood-red skull on the main control screen opened and closed its jaws wildly.
Shen Youran removed her hands from the piano keys, her fingertips still burning hot, and looked worriedly at Lin Xian's back.
Mu Xiaotian brought over a freshly brewed coffee, the cup wobbling in her hand, spilling a few drops of brown liquid onto the marble tabletop.
"Boss, this Ghost is a formidable figure who has dominated the international dark web for three years. He's even thoroughly explored the Pentagon's internal network."
Lin Xian let out a long yawn, and without even sitting down in the swivel chair, he simply raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.
A deep blue holographic control panel unfolded in the air, with a dense stream of data cascading down like a waterfall.
He looked at the frantically scrolling cracking code on the other side and rubbed his temples in exasperation.
"This guy's coding speed is pretty fast. How many years would it take to develop that skill?"
"Make me write the code to defend it myself? That would be too unfair to him, and I need to get some time to take a nap."
In a basement on an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean, Ye Xiu's fingers flew across the keyboard, leaving a trail of afterimages.
He gulped down a large mouthful of ice-cold energy drink, watched the progress bar jump to eighty percent, and a haughty sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of bullshit Eastern mysterious firewall is it? In front of my logic bomb, it's as brittle as paper."
The green code on the screen was refreshing rapidly, and it looked like they were about to gain full control.
In the floating manor, Lin Xian turned his neck and his gaze fell on the big yellow dog from the village entrance, which was lying in the corner of the sofa and snoring.
Lin Xian walked over and took out a coin-sized quantum brainwave connection patch from the system space.
He casually slapped the patch onto the big yellow dog's forehead.
The big yellow dog sleepily raised its head, wagged its tail perfunctorily twice, and let out a loud burp with a bone-like smell.
"Little Sweetie, bridge Big Yellow's brainwave signals directly to the outermost layer of the firewall."
Mu Xiaotian opened her rosy lips wide, looking at the boss as if he were a deity, but still obediently pressed the enter key.
Lin Xian picked up a sausage from the coffee table and waved it in front of the big yellow dog's nose.
He abruptly threw the sausage toward the holographic screen, pointing at the blood-red code.
"Big Yellow, that red skull on the screen is trying to steal your sausage, bite it to death!"
The big yellow dog was still dazed, but when it heard someone snatching its food, its eyes instantly flashed with a ghostly green light.
It roared and stood up, baring its sharp canines and staring intently at the data stream on the holographic screen.
In the virtual quantum network world invisible to ordinary people, a virtual yellow dog as huge as a mountain materializes out of thin air.
In the basement of the island, Ye Xiu prepared to press the last line of the Enter key to seize control of the manor.
His computer screen suddenly flickered violently, and the skull icon was swallowed whole by a drooling dog's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar erupted from the high-end speakers, causing Ye Xiu to fall off his gaming chair.
He scrambled to his feet, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
The tens of thousands of lines of virus code that he had carefully written were being chased all over the screen by that virtual big yellow dog.
With a single swipe of its paw, the big yellow dog crushed his prized Trojan program into dust.
With another bite, it tore a gigabyte of core data packets into unrecognizable gibberish.
"What kind of defense mechanism is this? Direct access to the quantum network via biological brainwaves?"
Ye Xiu felt a chill run down his spine and frantically typed on the keyboard, trying to sever the physical connection and retreat as quickly as possible.
But he discovered to his despair that his IP address had been firmly held by that mad dog, and he couldn't get out at all.
The big yellow dog not only dismantled his code in the virtual world, but even started to output massive amounts of junk data in reverse through the network cable.
There was a muffled "bang".
Ye Xiu's top-of-the-line liquid-cooled PC, worth three million, emitted a pungent plume of black smoke directly from its heat dissipation vents.
The motherboard melted instantly at a temperature of several thousand degrees, and sparks splattered all over Ye Xiu's face, burning off half of his eyebrows.
This top hacker, who once dominated the dark web, now stood there with an afro, staring blankly at the computer that had been burned to scrap metal.
His supposedly invincible skills were utterly crushed by a dog in a rural area of China.
Ye Xiu's pride shattered. He gritted his teeth, packed his bags overnight, and booked a first-class ticket to China.
The next day at noon, the sunlight shone perfectly on the lawn of the floating manor.
Lin Xian was lying on a rocking chair in the yard, having Shen Youran peel the newly delivered mutated lychees for him.
Outside the manor, on the light-guided staircase, Zhou Bapi carried a disheveled young man with dark circles under his eyes up like a chicken.
"Boss, this kid has been loitering around the door all morning with a tattered bedding roll on his back, insisting on seeing you. We can't get rid of him no matter what we do."
Ye Xiu broke free from Zhou Bapi's hand and knelt down in front of Lin Xian's recliner with a thud, holding up a signed contract of servitude.
"Lin Shen! I'm the ghost who tried to hack your computer yesterday. I've come to apologize!"
He looked up and saw the big yellow dog gnawing on a bone next to him, and his body involuntarily trembled.
That was a cyber shadow he could never erase in his life; a dog was able to achieve a microsecond-level cyber counterattack.
"I don't want a salary, just food is enough. Please let me stay and work as your network security guard!"
Lin Xian spat the lychee pit into the automatic trash can and glanced at the genius hacker casually.
"Sure, since Xiaotian is usually too busy playing games, you can be in charge of fixing network cables and cleaning the server room from now on."
Ye Xiu was overjoyed, kowtowing repeatedly. He felt he had made a huge profit by becoming a subordinate of such a god-like being who could deliver such devastating blows.
Mu Xiaotian accepted the contract of sale and was just about to drag her former idol to the basement to visit the god-level server.
Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps came from below the holographic staircase, and village chief Wang Fugui ran up, covered in sweat.
He ran so fast he lost a shoe, clutching a document stamped with a red seal tightly in his hand, and stumbled into the yard.
"Hey kid, this is serious! The county just issued a forced acquisition order; they're going to buy this whole mountain out of us for a thousand yuan!"
