Chapter 14 The Influence of Killer Programs



Su Wu's lips twitched; this shill was truly dedicated to his duty.

However, one should be honest and kind, and not delay in doing things after receiving payment.

He casually sent a file to Meikuzi, which was the source code of the Love Bug virus detection and removal program.

After receiving the source code, Meikuzi was extremely excited and once again promised to expedite the transaction of the cola formula.

Su Wu isn't in a hurry about this right now, after all, it's a transaction worth hundreds of millions, it's not that easy.

However, the good start brought by Meikuzi also made Su Wu more hopeful.

If he can sell just a few copies, his current financial problem will be solved.

He wouldn't have to hesitate over a mere 500,000 dragon coins; at worst, he could suffer a loss and buy the factory for 2 million.

He glanced at the time; it was already 2 a.m. He had been fighting all night without realizing it.

Su Wu rubbed his dry eyes and decided to turn off the computer and rest.

Just as he was about to leave the dark web, he found that someone had contacted him.

"Mr. Dongfang Longqi, I am a programmer from Symantec. We are very interested in your anti-virus software, and I would like to..."

"200,000 US dollars? Don't waste my time, I need to rest."

"Oh, sorry. I'll arrange for someone to transfer the money right away..."

The other party wanted to argue with Su Wu, but was ruthlessly interrupted.

Even knowing that this was the famous Norton's biological father, he didn't give him the slightest face.

Everyone says that staying up late is bad for your health, and Su Wu doesn't want to repeat his life in his previous life right after being reborn, watching strands of hair leave him and never return.

Faced with Su Wu's aloofness, Norton's programmer looked helplessly at his supervisor.

The supervisor could only nod and instruct someone to arrange the transfer.

Shortly after, Su Wu received the payment notification and immediately sent the source code over without saying another word.

Just then, another message came in.

“I’m buying your source code on behalf of Kaspersky. We can transfer the funds anytime you’re available.”

"Yes, please transfer the money. I will give you the source code as soon as the payment is received."

Su Wu, who had already gotten up, reluctantly sat back down in his chair. He couldn't very well refuse to deal with money.

Before long, the transaction was completed, and Su Wu decided to go to the factory manager again to buy the factory for 2 million.

As it turned out, he underestimated the terrifying destructive power of a virus on this nascent, burgeoning era of computer development.

The constant stream of news kept him from leaving his seat, and the sound of money being pocketed completely banished any drowsiness.

He was finally freed at 6 a.m., by which time he had already sold 10 copies of the source code.

Two million dollars in one night is an absolutely astonishing sum in this day and age.

Even Su Wu in his previous life only earned $1 million a year at his peak.

However, Su Wu was only slightly excited when he saw the money; he wasn't exactly overjoyed.

This amount of money isn't even a fraction of 1.5 billion; the speed at which they make money is still too slow.

Moreover, Su Wu knew that the anti-virus program for the Love Bug virus was basically finished, and there wouldn't be many more buyers.

Even a fool could tell who would be willing to buy the source code.

He guessed that these were people from major antivirus software companies around the world, otherwise there would be no point in them asking for the source code.

Before going to bed, Su Wu released a simplified version of the anti-virus software he had created to the Tianya forum for free.

Just as he fell into a deep sleep, a virus removal software called "Shi Gandang's Love Bug Removal Software" began to spread on Tianya Forum, and the number of downloads increased at an astonishing rate.

"I've personally tested it and it works! Everyone, download it now!"

"Effective +1, thanks to Longwu for providing the special removal tool for free."

"Dragon Warrior is awesome! This is definitely the fastest anti-virus software to appear in the world."

Question: Is Longwu a Chinese? Is that possible?

"His ID is Long Wu, so he must be from my Dragon Kingdom. Is there any need to ask?"

"Dragon Warrior is such a kind person, it's completely free, I'd be willing to pay for it."

"May Longwu have a peaceful life. Those below, keep formation."

Today, Tianya Forum holds an unparalleled position among computer users in China, and in just half a day, the name "Dragon Warrior" has become a sensation.

The conference room of Jingshan Company.

A discussion meeting is being held because technicians have discovered that the source code for a pest control program is available for purchase on the internet.

Just as the management team was discussing whether to spend $200,000 to make the purchase, their meeting was interrupted.

An employee rushed in with a report: "A dedicated removal tool for the 'Love Bug' virus has appeared on Tianya Forum, and it's been tested and proven effective..."

"What?" The senior executives exclaimed in unison.

Kingsoft Antivirus was just released this year, and it's the perfect time for it to build up its popularity.

Every new virus presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Kingsoft Antivirus.

But now the challenge has arrived, and the opportunity is gone.

After confirming the effectiveness of the free anti-virus program for love bugs, everyone fell silent.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Qiu Zong spoke up.

"Buy the source code for the special killer as quickly as possible; we can't afford to fall behind any longer. At the same time, investigate who this Long Wu is, and it would be best if we could recruit him."

This really gave the technicians a headache.

Su Wu is fast asleep; how could they possibly contact him through the dark web?

As for checking who it is, that's even more absurd.

Su Wu had long since erased all traces; they couldn't find a single clue.

All they could do was wait.
