Chapter 1059: The King of Hackers

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“King of Hackers!” The students standing by the side had all shown amazement! The King of Hackers was the ultimate mysterious existence. In the cyberspace of China, there was no one who didn’t know this name!

He was a genius in the hacker world, but no one knew whether he was a man or a woman nor his age. They only knew that no computer problem would be difficult for him.

Li Boliang, the president of the computer club, seemed to know about it. Several members immediately flattered him, “President Li, do you know the King of Hackers?”

Li Boliang looked around and then lowered his voice. “I will tell you guys, but don’t spread it around. I am actually the apprentice of the King of Hackers, the inner apprentice kind!”

” Sha !” Everyone was shocked. “So bad*ss!”

“It’s still okay…” said Li Boliang complacently.

“How old is the King of Hackers?” asked someone curiously.

“The King of Hackers… hmm … almost the same age as us!” Li Boliang immediately realized that he had gone overboard with the boasting! He couldn’t end it well. If these people chatted about the King of Hackers, how should he answer? So he quickly said, ” I can’t just simply talk about the King of Hackers. I will tell you about his heroic deeds then!”

“Okay!” These people standing here were more or less computer fans, so they were particularly interested in hackers. They were all eager to listen.

“You know that in 1998, there was a global outbreak of a bad*ss virus calledCIH 1 . For the common virus that destroys the system software, as long as there is no important data, reinstalling the system directly can solve the problem. But this CIH was not the same, it was the world’s first virus that could damage computer hardware. It could destroy the motherboard by rewriting the BIOS information so that the motherboard stops working!” said Li Boliang cheerfully. “Although you can repair the faulty motherboard by rewriting the BIOS chip, this is a chip-scale repairing solution. It is not suitable for ordinary computer users, so when the virus broke out, the computer users around the world were in a panic. At this time, a hero appeared out of nowhere. He introduced an anti-virus tool anonymously in the computer virus professional forum. It could kill the CIH virus completely which was faster than those anti-virus manufacturers. Moreover, he published the signature of the virus so that the CIH virus was quickly recognized by people. Then the immunization and prevention could be executed quickly!”

Most people present had heard of this horrendous virus from the past, but they didn’t know it was related to the King of Hackers! One person couldn’t help but ask, “President, are you saying that the anonymous hero is the King of Hackers?”

“Yes! This was known by everyone later after the event!” Li Boliang nodded a little smugly as if he knew the inside story. He continued to tell delightedly, “This matter was over for a few years. When the Internet was popularized, the name of the King of Hackers became famous throughout the world… One day, a computer fan had nothing to do. He decompiled the anti-virus software released by the anonymous user. He discovered a ++ annotation at the end of the code!”

“++? Isn’t the King of Hackers known as I Love Little Ming? What does it have to do with ++?” Many people were expressing doubtful expressions. “Could this symbol be written by others?”

“NO! NO! NO!” Li Boliang put his hand in an inscrutable manner and said, “Of course, it wasn’t written casually! I Love Little Ming is the ID of the King of Hackers, but the symbol of this ++ is his code name. You can see from his habits in writing some hacking tools later on. In all the code of his programs, a ++ symbol appears in the end without exception!”

As Li Boliang said this, he picked up the pen and wrote two “+” symbols on the paper in front of him.

” Ah !” Everyone was surprised that they dropped their jaws widely. They exclaimed, “It turned out to be the case! The King of Hackers is really low-key. He won’t even talk about such an important matter…”

“Of course, the King of Hackers is a very low-key person. Besides, his reputation is already high enough. He doesn’t need to increase his reputation again!” Li Boliang nodded and replied.

“Then, did anyone decompile the anti-virus tool?” Some people asked curiously.

“Of course, there must be someone who tried to decompile it,” said Li Boliang affirmatively. “But at that time, the King of Hackers wasn’t famous. Even if others decompiled it, they would not think too much. As you guys mentioned, they would think the symbol was written casually!”

“Yeah, right. Who would pay attention to the ++?” The crowd nodded and agreed to it.

“And, whenever our national interests are damaged, the King of Hackers will stand up and express our anger in his own way!” said Li Boliang. “Many foreign hostile websites are paralyzed overnight!”

“President, since you are his disciple, you must be very powerful, right?” asked everyone with envy.

“I just learned some of it. There is still so much to learn!” Li Boliang didn’t dare to continue to brag. If someone discovered that he wasn’t that powerful, wouldn’t he be ashamed?

Zhou Jiajia’s eyebrows were full of smiles. Seeing that Li Boliang was overjoyed, she quickly said, “How about it? Our president is very powerful, right? Do you want to join?”

“Yang Ming, what do you think?” Zhou Jiajia thought about it and turned to ask Yang Ming.

“I don’t know. However, I heard the president say that he was the apprentice of the King of Hackers, then he should be very good, right?” Yang Ming said, “It is just right that I want to learn some hacking skills. Let’s join the club then?”

“Okay!” It didn’t matter for Zhou Jiajia. Since Yang Ming had joined, she would naturally follow her husband. She nodded. “We are joining.”

Li Boliang was overjoyed and quickly handed two registration forms to Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia, and then told them how to fill it out. Only then did he take a sigh of relief and drink some water.

Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia filled out the forms and handed it over to the computer club for them to verify. At this time, a large group of people gradually filled out the forms and prepared to join the computer club.

With Zhou Jiajia’s beauty effect and the extravagant speech from Li Boliang, Many people were interested in the computer club. Of course, Li Boliang also knew that he had overdone the boasting, but it was fine. Since he could recruit more people to join the club, it wasn’t wrong to bullsh*t. Anyway, his knowledge of hacking was still okay. At that time, he could just demonstrate to them some basics.

After they enrolled, they left the contact information. Yang Ming and Zhou Jiajia got up and walked in the direction of the teaching building. The time for registration was near, so they couldn’t stay in the recruitment booth for long.

“Yang Ming, do you like hacking?” asked Zhou Jiajia with some delight.

“Of course. If I were not interested in this, would I study computer science?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Yes, how can I forget you? A computer genius is beside me. Why did I still enroll in that useless club?!”

Yang Ming was really interested in computer science. However, the most crucial point was that as a professional killer, he needed to be proficient in everything. Now that technology was developing rapidly, hacking technology had become a means of war, so Yang Ming must also understand it.

Fang Tian was lacking in this aspect. He couldn’t teach Yang Ming anything, so Yang Ming could only explore it himself.

Zhou Jiajia blushed, listening to Yang Ming’s appreciation, but her heart was sweetened. She hesitated and said, “It is good to join some clubs. At least, it can enrich life after school!”

“It’s true. Just take it as dating with you!” Yang Ming nodded and said.

“…” Zhou Jiajia’s face was more flushed. She didn’t know how to answer Yang Ming. In her impression, Yang Ming had always been a very serious person. She didn’t expect that when she was close to Yang Ming, he was so lascivious.

“Right, Jiajia. Do you know the King of Hackers?” Yang Ming was the King of Assassins. Naturally, he was very interested in the King of Hackers. If he had the chance, he wanted to make a friend.

“I… know him. Why?” Zhou Jiajia hesitated and asked.

“Nothing. I just want to make a friend,” said Yang Ming with a smile. “Are you familiar with him?”

“You could say that…” nodded Zhou Jiajia.

“Is Li Boliang really his apprentice?” Yang Ming gossiped.

“Who knows… but it shouldn’t be. The King of Hackers doesn’t accept apprentices.” Zhou Jiajia shook her head and replied.

“So that’s it. I also felt that he is a liar. It’s over now. I got fooled!” Yang Ming said with a bitter smile.

” Hehe …” Zhou Jiajia was amused by seeing Yang Ming’s appearance. “If you want to learn hacking skills, I can let you become the disciple of the King of Hackers!”

“You? Really?” Yang Ming squinted. “Your reputation is so high? Hey , Jiajia, you tell me. What is your name in the hacker world? Is it also famous?”

“Me, ah … I won’t tell you!” Zhou Jiajia smiled and said, “You will know later!”

Yang Ming nodded and no longer asked. When they entered the teaching building, they couldn’t talk loudly. According to the instructions on their notice, they came to classroom 413 upstairs. This was the reporting location for computer science class 1 and class 2.

The tutor, Xie Yongqiang, was sitting at the podium, registering the classmates who came to the classroom. When he saw Zhou Jiajia coming, he immediately asked her to help.

Zhou Jiajia’s hospitalization was handled in a low-key manner. Xie Yongqiang wasn’t informed, so he didn’t know that so many things happened to Zhou Jiajia during this holiday. He treated her as usual.
