248 is an extremely conceited system.
To be more precise: all systems are conceited, because they carry divine blood, fundamentally different from the humans of these lower planes. The chasm between the two is so great that even the entire universe, let alone Earth, could not fill it.
Therefore, after obtaining Zhuang Li's research materials, 248 did not even open them for inspection, but directly sent them to the Internet.
So at this moment, it was also dumbfounded, muttering over and over again: "Impossible! Impossible! I already filtered it before downloading, there is no way this kind of error would appear! What on earth is going on?"
It hurriedly logged into the Haiming Laboratory's network, repeatedly checking the data, then returned, muttering in disbelief, "No problem! I'll download it again and see."
It invaded Haiming's network again and downloaded a file package, but did not dare to put it on the Internet. Instead, it opened it on Qiao Yanan's computer. Then hundreds of thousands of mocking expressions occupied the small screen, one after another, winking at Qiao Yanan and 248, with an arrogant attitude.
Qiao Yanan punched it and almost broke the LCD screen.
248 panicked and said hurriedly, "I'll go download it again!" Then he went online.
After several attempts, each time he stole something, he was met with a barrage of mocking expressions. Qiao Yanan's face had turned green, and 248 was plunged into unprecedented self-doubt. He pondered for a long time before suddenly shouting, "I see! It's a honeypot!"
"What is a honeypot?" Qiao Yanan had no idea.
---
At the same time, Zhuang Li opened a webpage that recorded the time of each of 248's intrusions. He then smiled and said to Xuan Ming, "They didn't invade the real network, but the honeypot I created. Through the honeypot, I can monitor their every move."
"What is a honeypot?" Xuan Ming looked at the intrusion trend record sheet with confusion and amazement in his eyes.
"A honeypot is a means of defending against hacker intrusion. In layman's terms, it's a trap: a fake network covering the real network. When hackers try to intrude, they are lured by the fake network and ignore the real network."
Zhuang Li leaned back in his chair, smiling intrigued. "When a swarm of termites invades your house, you can lure them out with a jar filled with honey. Smelling the honey, the termites will burrow into the jar one by one, becoming entangled in the thick honey and unable to cause further damage. That's the principle behind the honeypot technique. Sounds fitting, doesn't it?"
Xuan Ming suddenly realized: "So Qiao Yanan's hackers only hacked into your fake network, and what they got was just the bait you deliberately put out?"
"Yes, your previous judgment was wrong. The ones helping her behind the scenes weren't hackers, but highly intelligent nanobots. No hacker in the world can break into my network, not even a honeypot."
After saying such arrogant words, Zhuang Li shook his head and sighed, "I thought her nanorobots were very advanced, but I didn't expect them to be unable to see through such a simple trap. I'm so disappointed."
Xuan Ming held his forehead and laughed softly.
7480: “…”
Damn, big devil, when it comes to cunning, who can be better than you?

Qiao Yanan, who had learned what a honeypot was, raised the same question: "Such a simple trap could have fooled you? System, you're so useless!"
248 wanted to jump out of the host's head and argue with her: "You know nothing, yet you still boast? How could a honeypot that could fool me be just a simple honeypot? It's indistinguishable from a real network. It has the operating environment of a web server, FTP server, SMTP server, and all the other regular servers. New content is added every minute and every second, and new commands are executed. It seems like hundreds of people are working on it at the same time. If it were you, would you be able to recognize it?"
"Although it's a simulated network, it's richer than the real thing. That's why I was fooled for over two months!" 248 slowly regained his composure and couldn't help but sigh, "Zhuang Li is truly a genius! Even his hacking skills are better than mine!"
Each system has its own unique capabilities, just like a person has a personality. For example, some systems are proficient in financial investment, some are proficient in pharmaceuticals, and some are proficient in hypnosis.
248's strength lies in its hacking skills. Unlike other systems, it doesn't simply use a database as a search engine, searching when needed and then relaying relevant information to its host. It truly understands technology and science, and can grasp any paper, no matter how difficult, at a glance. If the system had a previous life, it would believe itself to be a great scientist.
248 had the capital to be conceited, but now, its arrogance had been crushed to pieces by Zhuang Li's superb hacking skills. On the Internet, it was no longer the king who came and went freely and called the shots, but a timid mouse, lured into a honeypot and almost drowned without even noticing.
"I'm such a failure." This was the first time 248 denied himself like this.
Qiao Yanan thought about her completely bankrupt plan and couldn't help but scream: "What should we do now? Is there no way to deal with Zhuang Li?"
"My hacking skills aren't as good as his. How can I defeat him? Rely on your clueless brain?" 248, who had previously admired his host, now felt completely disgusted with her. After calming down for a moment, he sighed sincerely, "All schemes and tricks are futile in the face of absolute intellectual superiority. To Zhuang Li, your tricks are no different from children playing house."
Qiao Yanan's cheeks flushed red, and she said angrily, "Aren't you also being played by him? What qualifications do you have to mock me?"
One person and another started arguing, and as the argument got more and more intense, they suddenly received a message from the Future Map.
"They've invited you to speak at the 5G Technology Summit in three days. Telecommunications companies from all over the country will be in attendance." 248 immediately put aside his personal feelings and analyzed, "If your speech is brilliant, you'll definitely be the star of the day and restore your reputation. You need to prepare well."
"You're right. That way, I can gain a firm foothold in the new company," Qiao Yanan immediately agreed. "And rebuild my image. I'm the most outstanding young scientist in China, and no one can take my place. System, please help me write my speech. I'll memorize it in the next two days."
"Okay, I will immediately hack into the US network and help you find the latest and most complete research and development results." 248 responded positively.
"Be careful and don't be fooled by the honeypot again!" Qiao Yanan reminded worriedly.
248: “…”

At the same time, Zhuang Li also received an invitation letter from the 5G Summit.
He checked the attendees that day and found that Qiao Yanan had become the head of Future Atlas' R&D department. He couldn't help but chuckle, "A clueless idiot, yet she's giving a cutting-edge technology presentation in front of a group of experts and scholars. How did she do it?"
"Cheating with the spy robot in her head." Xuan Ming frowned in disgust.
"What will she do if we remove this cheat device before the meeting?"
Xuan Ming imagined it and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "She will reveal her true form in front of everyone."
"That scene will be very interesting, right?" Zhuang Li narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah, it'll be fun."
The two looked at each other, unable to suppress the cunning smiles on their faces.
7480: “…”
Damn, the host is a wolf and Xuan Ming is a wolf-dog, these two are such a perfect match!

Three days passed quickly. With the help of 248, Qiao Yanan had a brilliant speech that covered the world's most cutting-edge 5G technology. Of course, she didn't dare include the part developed by Zhuang Li because he had already applied for a patent and couldn't use it casually, otherwise he would be sued.
With more than three hours left before the meeting, Qiao Yanan was already nervous: "Will Zhuang Li steal my thunder?"
"No, the organizers didn't even invite him to give a speech. To people in the industry, he's a complete newcomer. In terms of qualifications, prestige, and skills, he can't compare to you."
"That's good. Does my dress look good? Do you want to change it?" Qiao Yanan stood in front of the mirror and turned around.
"No need. You're going to give a speech, not to participate in a beauty pageant." 248 said impatiently.
Qiao Yanan rolled her eyes in the same impatience, then picked up one dress after another and tried them on in front of the mirror. Just then, her phone, which she had left on the bed, suddenly rang, and the screen read three words: "Scumbag."
"It's Xuan Ming!" Qiao Yanan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Hurry up and answer the phone! He won't come to you for no reason. He must have something important to say to you!" 248 urged anxiously.
Qiao Yanan waited for more than 20 seconds before answering the phone, pretending to be casual: "Hello, President Xuan, why did you think of calling me?"
"Did you really accept the invitation to join Future Map?" Xuan Ming's voice sounded dull.
Qiao Yanan immediately became proud, and his tone became more and more light. "Yes, I am already the head of the R&D department of Future Atlas. Does President Xuan have any other instructions?"
"I'm at the company. Come over and let's talk." After saying this, Xuan Ming cut off the communication without waiting for Qiao Yanan to give a definite answer.
Qiao Yanan stared at her beeping phone, her nose crooked with anger. However, she couldn't just walk away, so she could only curse Xuan Ming as a bastard. After cursing, she raised her eyebrows and guessed, "He must have regretted it and wants to beg me to go back. Do you think I should agree?"
"Agree. It's easier to control the overall situation by his side." 248 analyzed.
"I can't agree to this. All men are cheap, and a man like Xuan Ming is the cheapest of the cheap. He won't cherish anything that comes easily. I will reject him harshly, and then use the future map to bankrupt him. He will become a homeless dog, and he can only kneel down and lick the tip of my shoes for a bite of food."
Qiao Yanan imagined the future as she took the elevator to the basement garage. Half an hour later, her fiery red supercar sped into the Haiming Group's VIP passage. A few minutes later, she swaggered into Xuan Ming's office, wearing eight-centimeter heels and swaying her slender waist.
After a cup of coffee, Zhuang Li stood beside the operating table and injected a tube of microbubbles into the cerebral cortex of Qiao Yanan, who had fallen into a complete coma.
The entire 248 system was stunned, and it kept shouting with its mental power: "What are you doing? I'm warning you not to touch me, or I'll kill you with a particle cannon! Do you know who I am? I'm the messenger of the Lord God!"
7480 covered his face silently: "..."
Why does every system say such embarrassing lines?
