Chapter 61 Selection
◎Why did you pick me?◎
Her butler robot!!!
The butler robot's eyes glowed with an unusual red light, and the strong light on its body became brighter and brighter. Qin Shu could even clearly feel an energy riot that made the air vibrate.
The worst thing is that the person closest to the runaway butler robot is Xu Wen, who has not yet woken up!
Qin Shu had no time to think carefully, so she could only quickly raise her hand and press the forced power button on the terminal, wanting to force the butler robot to shut down. However, the butler robot only froze for a few seconds before bursting out with strong light again.
"Collect!" Fortunately, Yun Shangjun reacted quickly and directly trapped the butler robot with an aura shield.
Qin Shu suddenly jumped up, and without saying a word, quickly opened the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the living room, and then kicked the butler robot out along with the spiritual shield.
"boom--"
The butler robot exploded in the aura shield before it could even fall. The force was so great that even the aura shield had cracks. Fortunately, Yun Shangjun waved his sleeves, and the aura shield, which had barely escaped shattering, fell to the ground with the remains of the butler robot.
At this time, Xu Wen also woke up. When he saw this situation, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes and hurried to deal with the matter.
In just a few seconds, a group of Starfleet soldiers appeared inside and outside Qin Shu's house, and many professionals began to search the house.
"How could this happen suddenly?" Yue Shanshan still hadn't figured out what was going on with this series of events until this moment.
Qin Shu also felt a little strange, because all this happened too suddenly and there was no sign at all.
If I have to say, the only sign is the deathly aura on Xu Wen.
Thinking of this, Qin Shu suddenly turned around and looked at Hei Wuchang, who was thinking about something. "Master Wuchang, may I ask, when did the death energy appear on Xu Wen's body?"
"It wasn't there when we had dinner yesterday, but it was there before dinner today."
So, something happened to her butler robot during this time, leading to tonight's explosion?
Xu Wen returned quickly. "We've inspected the wreckage of the robot. It was hacked and its program was tampered with. However, since your butler robot was specially customized by us, even if it were hacked, it wouldn't be able to harm you. It would only go into a 'static' state. However, the hacker was very cunning. Since he couldn't protect it, he chose to cause the butler robot's internal energy source to react, causing the explosion."
This butler robot was delivered a few days late because of Qin Shu's safety. Many programs and hardware were specially changed, but unexpectedly there were still omissions.
Qin Shu didn't speak immediately. She just frowned slightly as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe I'm overthinking..."
"What did you think of?"
Qin Shu glanced down at the terminal on her wrist. "When I was hacked online earlier, didn't I find out that many of the people who were hacking me weren't actually from the Interstellar Federation? It could have been hacked and used by hackers to steal other people's accounts."
"Another hacker." Yue Shanshan couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
Although these two things are far apart and seem to have nothing to do with each other, after being reminded by Qin Shu, they seem to be closely related.
Are they hackers targeting Qin Shu?
"If the hacker really targeted Qin Shu, how did he confirm that this butler robot belonged to Qin Shu, and how did he hack into it?" You know, the Interstellar Federation has always attached great importance to Qin Shu's safety. In addition to personal safety, information security is naturally indispensable. Therefore, they have been strictly preventing hackers. The staff of the Information Department are dealing with the dangers and threats from information security that Qin Shu may encounter 24 hours a day.
Moreover, all the information about this butler robot is confidential. No one knows this secret except a few important people. If you want to read the relevant information from the database, it is impossible to do it so quietly.
But the other party determined it so accurately and quickly.
Yun Shangjun frowned upon hearing this. "The questions you're having trouble understanding are all based on the assumption that the other party is targeting Qin Shu. Perhaps things aren't as complicated as you think. Is it possible that the hacker simply hacked into a robot he found difficult and challenging to pass the time?"
Qin Shu didn't like to think about these things, so she just turned her gaze back to Xu Wen.
Seeing this, Xu Wen immediately understood the meaning behind Qin Shu's eyes and nodded in response, "We will continue to investigate and let you know as soon as we have any news."
"Um."
"It's late at night. We are here. You should go back to your room and sleep." Xu Wen hurriedly said when he saw this.
The Interstellar Federation did indeed lose control of this matter. Not only did they poison Qin Shu and almost kill her last time, but this time they almost caused someone to be blown up at home. Xu Wen didn't even dare to look at Qin Shu's eyes.
Qin Shu also knew that Xu Wen was under a lot of pressure. Although she still had a lot to say, she was not in a hurry. So she nodded and took Yue Shanshan back to her room to sleep. As for Yun Shangjun and Hei Wuchang, they both said that they did not need sleep and could help investigate the matter, so they stayed to help Xu Wen.
Yue Shanshan thought that after experiencing this kind of thing, she would never be able to fall asleep again, but because of the side effects of eating in the restaurant, she fell asleep again after a while. Qin Shu, on the other hand, began to think carefully about whether she had offended any hackers in the past.
However, she did not find the answer to this question. After all, she had experienced too many fast-travel worlds, and many things seemed too long ago and vague to her.
Unable to figure this out, Qin Shu simply gave up thinking about it and forced herself to fall asleep again.
Fortunately, there was no domineering CEO in her dream this time, allowing her to have a rare good sleep.
…
At this time, in a mansion in the Copra Empire.
The young and handsome man looked at the screen in front of him with an interested smile.
The images that were constantly playing on his screen were exactly what had just happened in Qin Shu's house. The man had been looking at Yun Shangjun with interest, especially the moment when Yun Shangjun released the spiritual power shield. He had watched it countless times, but when the camera turned to Qin Shu, especially when Qin Shu resolutely kicked the butler robot out of the window like a hamster ball, the man's expression became a little cold.
"Tsk, this damn woman always makes things difficult for me."
If Qin Shu were here at this moment, she would definitely recognize this face that she had seen before.
The man complained, then pulled out a secret group from the screen and typed a line of words.
[joker]: "Where's Jeffrey? I've found an interesting individual here, and I think you'd be interested in cutting him open and studying him in detail."
[Ace of Spades]: "Don't look for him. He's very happy to have found a new experimental subject. You know what kind of lunatic he is. He won't pay attention to news from the outside world until his enthusiasm for the new experimental subject fades."
[joker]: "Oh, okay."
[joker]: "By the way, my new movie is out, remember to watch it."
[Ace of Spades]: "I'm busy. Oh, by the way, haven't you contacted Queen in a while? She's angry. Go and comfort her. It's so annoying."
[joker]: "What happened to her?"
[Ace of Spades]: "What else can I do? I just find Qin Shu too annoying, but I just can't get rid of her no matter how many times I try."
[joker]: "...I don't like to coax her. Can she grow up on her own?"
[Ace of Spades]: "Don't say that. After all, she's your biological sister. Besides—don't you all hate Qin Shu? I thought you would have a lot of common topics."
The handsome young man couldn't help but frown when he saw the last sentence, stopped talking, and directly exited the group chat.
But his gaze fell on the image that was still looping endlessly over there, which happened to be Qin Shu's camera.
"Sure enough... it's disgusting."
…
Qin Shu had no idea that someone was upset with her last night. She got up on time, washed up, and then went to call Yue Shanshan, who looked tired.
"I don't have classes until the afternoon..." Yue Shanshan was really sleepy. She didn't even open her eyes, but moved her mouth a few times.
"Then go to sleep." Qin Shu didn't force her. She packed up and went downstairs.
When Xu Wen saw her coming downstairs, he greeted her and said, "Come and have dinner."
Because the butler robot was gone, Xu Wen brought food from outside.
"Stay up all night again?" Qin Shu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the two dark circles under Xu Wen's eyes.
"Um."
"Did you find out anything?"
Xu Wen handed Qin Shu a spoon and chopsticks and nodded in agreement. "Well, it wasn't just your butler robot that was hacked yesterday. It can be said that all butler robots of this model were hacked yesterday, so it's not an isolated case."
"I remember there weren't many butler robots of this model in the entire Interstellar Federation, right?"
"Yes. After all, due to various technical reasons, this type of butler robot cannot be mass-produced. Moreover, it is not a model that can be purchased by anyone with money. It can only be obtained after special approval from the Interstellar Federation. There are only 2,000 of them in use in the entire Interstellar Federation."
"Doesn't that mean that the one who owns this kind of robot is either rich or noble, and even has a profound influence on the Interstellar Federation? When you think about it this way, people with this kind of identity can easily become targets of hackers from other countries." Qin Shu reacted immediately.
"Yeah, so the other party should be casting a wide net."
"Did the other robots explode?"
"No."
"Oh, he cast a wide net, but in the end he chose me. I think my 'lucky' is not just due to luck, right?" Since he chose her, there must be a reason.
