Chapter 138 Among this group of people, I only don’t know you

After Yu Wu finished speaking, he looked in Ji Jinhe's direction with some anticipation.

Ji Jinhe was curled up on the sofa and his eyelids lifted when he heard a certain word.

Yu Wu noticed her expression and mistakenly thought she was interested in this, and continued, "Don't worry, the participants are all selected young masters and young ladies from Country A, as well as a small number of talented ordinary people.

During your participation, you will be escorted by members of the Burning Moon Guild to ensure your safety. Just treat it as a chance to have fun."

They are already busy enough with Mr. Qi's return, and now with Miss Ji coming, they really can't bear it.

Qi Xiuxu turned around and squeezed Ji Jinhe's hand, then looked down into her eyes and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Ji Jinhe thought for a while and nodded slowly.

Joy suddenly flashed in Yu Wu's eyes. He quickly agreed and then went down to prepare.

Cheng Feng just came in with food in his hand. He looked at Yu Wu's back as he rushed out and muttered, "What good news has happened?"

Cheng Feng bent over and placed the food on the table. One dish after another that looked good, smelled good and was delicious was brought out.

Qi Xiuxu lowered his head and explained to Ji Jinhe the Burning Moon Guild that Yu Wu had just mentioned.

"The Burning Moon Guild is a new chamber of commerce in Country A. Although new, it has taken control of the lifeline of Country A's industry in just one year." He paused, then continued, "But don't worry, they're easy to get along with."

Ji Jinhe raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Have you ever been with them?"

"Yeah." Qi Xiuxu smiled and touched her head, "Just treat this place like the capital."

Ji Jinhe blinked and nodded slowly, "Okay."

…

The TBD Alliance is an international hacker alliance, formerly known as The Binary Dominion, and is abbreviated as the TBD Alliance.

Because it is stationed in Country A, many hackers come here just to join or compete with the masters in the alliance.

The purpose of the TBD Alliance's competition is to discover talented hackers. The name of the competition is Root Me, and it is also known as the alliance's recruitment competition.

The reason why young masters and young ladies from major families in Country A were invited to participate in this competition was mainly for the investment of each family.

Although the TBD Alliance is not short of funds, they are naturally happy to have someone willing to pay to help them train new members.

The reason why each family participated was to gild their young masters and young ladies, so that they could have a title of having participated in training and be considered half a computer expert when they go out.

The TBD Alliance's recruitment competition is held almost every five years, and Ji Jinhe happened to catch it when he came to Country A this time.

In the car, Zhu Si introduced the origin of the TBD Alliance to Ji Jinhe, and also introduced the major families in Country A.

"The most powerful organization in Country A right now is not a certain family, but the newly emerged Fanyue Union. But don't worry, President Qi has a good relationship with them.

Don't worry about the rest of the Nelson and Carter families, just have fun. If anyone makes you unhappy, you can call me."

Zhu Si sat next to Ji Jinhe, his voice slow and gentle.

Ji Jinhe leaned back in his chair and nodded lazily.

The car slowly drove into a base. The surrounding buildings were covered with nano-level anti-reconnaissance coatings, which glowed with a cool matte metal tone in the sunlight.

There is a circular building in the middle, and the driver in front slowly drives the car to the front of the building.

Cheng Feng got out of the car from the front and opened the door on Ji Jinhe's side, while Zhu Si got out from the other side and walked quickly to her side.

"Miss Ji, do you need me to take you in?" Zhu Si said respectfully with his hands folded in front of him.

"No need." Ji Jinhe looked at several men in black trotting through the door not far away.

Zhu Si followed her gaze, then looked away and put on a standard smile, "Okay."

Ji Jinhe nodded and put his hands in his coat pockets.

The man in black quickly walked up to Ji Jinhe, bowed slightly, and asked in Mandarin A: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"This is the second daughter of the Qi Group," Zhu Si stepped forward and explained, speaking in standard Country A dialect. "Please take good care of her."

The man in black nodded and respectfully gestured "please," "Please come this way."

Ji Jinhe turned to look at Zhu Si, and said in a neutral tone: "Then we'll go first."

Cheng Feng also participated. Qi Xiuxu was worried about letting Ji Jinhe attend the training alone, so he added Cheng Feng.

"Okay, Miss Ji," Zhu Si said gently, "I hope you have a good time."

Ji Jinhe nodded and walked into the circular building.

Cheng Feng followed her without looking away. The man in black glanced at him but did not stop him.

Ji Jinhe followed the instructions of the man in black and walked into the circular building. As soon as he walked in, he raised his eyebrows at the high-tech hall.

There is a giant screen in the center of the hall, on which data streams of global hot spots are scrolled in real time, and the 3D logo of the TBD Alliance is projected on the side.

It looks very high-tech.

Ji Jinhe took out his cell phone and took a picture of the scene, tapping his finger on the phone as if he was sending a message to someone.

The man in black stood aside without looking around and said anything.

Only after Ji Jinhe raised his head did they continue to lead Ji Jinhe inside.

After walking through a long corridor, the man in black opened a door and let the two of them in. "Miss, we're here."

Ji Jinhe nodded and walked inside.

Cheng Feng followed her closely. The man in black glanced at him and closed the door.

There were already quite a few people in the room, most of them were from Country A, with only a few who looked like they were from Country Z.

At first glance, the crowd was clearly divided into two groups, with a row of seats in between, clearly separating them.

A blonde girl stood in front of the two groups. She held a form in her hand and looked at Ji Jinhe and Cheng Feng, speaking in Mandarin A: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ji and Mr. Cheng?"

Under everyone's gaze, Ji Jinhe slowly nodded.

Her peach blossom eyes were slightly lowered, and she met everyone's gaze without dodging or avoiding it. She stood there straight with her hands in her pockets.

"Okay." The girl ticked her watch twice, then made a "please" gesture towards the group on the left, "That way, please."

Ji Jinhe walked in the direction her finger pointed, which was the group of people on the left.

There were only seats left in the last row. Ji Jinhe slowly walked to the last row. When he looked up, many people who were looking back quickly turned their heads away.

Only the man and woman sitting in front of her turned their heads to look at her. Ji Jinhe raised her eyes and looked at them.

The girl turned her head and stared at Ji Jinhe, her chin slightly raised, "Whose family are you from?"

Cheng Feng, who had just sat down, looked up at her warily when he heard this.

"Is this important?" Ji Jinhe asked calmly in Mandarin A.

"Of course," she pointed to the group of people on the right, "those people came in through regular interviews, while those on our side are the young masters and young ladies from various families who were invited here.

You are the only one among this group of people I don’t know.”

Ji Jinhe finally showed some expression. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it strange that you don't know others?"

"It's not surprising," the boy who had been watching Ji Jinhe replied. He pointed at the people sitting in front of him, "However, the young masters and young ladies of the major families in our Country A all know each other. You are obviously new here."

and……

The boy looked at Cheng Feng. This man didn't have the temperament of a young master at all. Next to this lady, he looked like a... bodyguard?

Ji Jinhe said "Oh", "Our family just came to Country A and doesn't know much about this place yet."

The woman suddenly realized something. She looked at Ji Jinhe and said, "Your family is very powerful."

To be invited by the TBD Alliance right after arriving in Country A, one must be very capable.

But she is not in power, so she doesn't know which new families have come to Country A recently.

"Hello, my name is Yuli Nelson," the girl said, pulling the boy sitting next to her, "and this is my brother, Kerry Nelson."

Ji Jinhe raised his eyebrows slightly. This surname sounded familiar. Zhu Si seemed to have mentioned it in the car.

"Ji Jinhe."

"Ji Jinhe." Youli repeated the name. She raised her head and looked at Ji Jinhe with her eyes tilted. "Your name is very nice."

"Thank you." Ji Jinhe nodded politely.

The two looked at Cheng Feng again.

"Cheng Feng." Cheng Feng said coldly with his arms folded. He still felt that these two people had bad intentions.

Youli and the others felt his indifference and didn't want to bother to please him. They originally wanted to ask why their last names were different, but now they didn't want to say anything more.

Youli pointed to a woman in front of her who was wearing a silk dress and had her golden hair tied loosely behind her head and said, "That's the daughter of the Hall family. I hate her very much, so you'd better not play with her."

Her tone was arrogant and commanding.

Ji Jinhe looked up and the girl happened to turn around and their eyes met.

She has a pair of eyes like sapphires, very special.

Ji Jinhe's gaze stayed on the other person's eyes for a few seconds, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.

She had no intention of listening to Yuri, and she didn't sense any malice in the girl's eyes just now.

"Oh." Ji Jinhe responded lazily.

Yuri opened her mouth to say something, but a clear male voice came from the stage.

Keli pulled Yuri and turned around, his expression a little serious.

"Hello everyone," the man on the stage put his water glass on the table in front of him, glanced at the people sitting in the room, and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Mir Eddie, from the TBD League, and I will be providing pre-match training for everyone in the next period of time.

I hope that in this short period of time, everyone can study hard and finally achieve a satisfactory result."

After he finished speaking, applause broke out in the room.

Ji Jinhe glanced around and saw the contestant sitting on the other side standing up straight, raising his hands and clapping with a serious look on his face.

The noble young masters and young ladies sitting here leaned back in their chairs casually, not looking like they were taking it seriously, but they all raised their hands out of courtesy.

Mil noticed the completely different expressions and attitudes on both sides.

"Next we will go to another classroom for practical classes, but before the class, I will explain some basic knowledge to you. Please listen carefully." Mil kept smiling, and finally his eyes fell on the noble young master and young lady.

"There will be homework every day from now on. If you fail to meet the requirements more than three times, you will be expelled from the competition. Please take it seriously."

Two sentences, two serious words used.

The room was silent, and no one spoke.

Mir began to explain some basic knowledge. Youli, who originally wanted to turn around and talk to Ji Jinhe, straightened her back slightly, her face tilted to the side with a serious expression.

Obviously, Mil's last sentence was directed at these noble young masters and young ladies. Many people straightened their backs and listened carefully. It seemed that these young masters and young ladies did not want to be expelled.

Ji Jinhe withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes unfocused, and he looked like he was in a daze.

Cheng Feng, who was standing by, took out a notebook and pen like a good student and started taking notes.

About an hour later, Mil finally stopped explaining and picked up the water cup beside him to drink.

His eyes swept across the last row on the left, and then retracted without leaving a trace.

"Okay," Mir cleared his throat, "I've finished the basics. Please be prepared for the next lesson."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him.

Everyone stood up. Youli took this opportunity to turn around and look at Ji Jinhe, "Ji."

Ji Jinhe raised his eyes to look at her and paused slightly.

"Let's sit together later. I have learned about this before and maybe I can help you." She smiled brightly, as if she was very sure that Ji Jinhe would not refuse.

"casual."

Ji Jinhe put his hands in his pockets and walked out with the crowd.

On the way, several noble ladies found Youli and wanted to be with her, but they were all rejected.

Ji Jinhe half-lowered his eyes and listened to the movement behind him. It seemed that Youli had a very high status among this group of young ladies.

Mir led everyone to another classroom. This classroom had an open design, with code streams projected in real time in the middle of the transparent glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows. There were dozens of newly developed computers in the classroom, and each seat was half a meter apart.

Everyone sat down in the same seats as before, and after everyone was seated, everyone realized that the seats here were just right.

Youli sat on Ji Jinhe's left, Cheng Feng sat on his right, and Keli sat in front of Youli.

Mir stood on the stage and began to organize everyone to operate the computer. Youli turned her head and said a few words to Ji Jinhe, then turned back and followed Mir's operating steps.

Ji Jinhe supported his chin, held the mouse in his right hand, and clicked lazily.

The phone in her pocket kept vibrating. Ji Jinhe took advantage of the computer screen blocking her view, took out her phone and started replying to messages.

Mir on the stage happened to mention a question. He clicked on an operating table next to the podium and looked at the contestants below. "I will randomly select a contestant to answer this question through the system."

There was a sigh in the classroom. Some people nervously tugged at their clothes, while others looked at Mil with confidence.

Ji Jinhe raised his head amid the sighs, and only had time to see Mil press the start button.

Then a circle of light lit up next to everyone's computer screen, and then went out again, flickering randomly among dozens of computers.

Finally, the lights in front of everyone went out, leaving only one beam of light.

Everyone's eyes were searching the classroom, and finally they all turned around and looked in one direction.

Ji Jinhe looked at the light in front of him expressionlessly and slowly stood up.
