In Z continent, how could they accurately locate Qi Silin's base and launch an invasion? Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, and it can continue to be a coincidence?
She didn't believe there were so many coincidences in the world; they wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't done their homework beforehand.
This only proves that those people did it on purpose, but only... would have the audacity to directly intrude.
The man held the wine glass between his fingers, swirling it gently. The liquid swayed back and forth in the glass, and his dark eyes held a slightly complex emotion.
"Zero...are they trying to regain their momentum?"
Qi Jiu shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. This might just be a test. Although they hired a hacker, he couldn't even defeat Su Chen. He's just a mediocre hacker."
Su Chen: "..."
No, what do you mean by "connected"? He's a hacker from The Matrix, a place so many hackers dream of visiting!
If he were to leave The Matrix, there would be countless people eager to acquire his skills!
Qi Silin nodded knowingly.
The conversation between the two did not last long, as the current atmosphere and their identities were somewhat inappropriate. In just over ten minutes, the girl returned to the computer room.
I never expected that as soon as I got back, my wrist would be grabbed and I would be pulled to another place. Looking at the familiar face in front of me, I finally gave up struggling.
In a spacious corner of the server room, Qi Jiu looked at the few people in front of her and suddenly smiled.
"What are you doing? Giving up being proper students to become kidnappers? You're all from different groups, aren't you sure you won't get beaten up for slacking off now?"
These people in front of us can be considered the backbone of the group. Is it really okay for them to slack off now?
It was Yu Qi and the others who brought her over. Although Leng Ruo was the one among them who knew the most inside story, she still came along.
"Don't worry, they're also very interested in the questions we're about to ask."
An Ran's eyes disappeared from her smile, but she couldn't feel any warmth at all.
Qi Jiu cleared her throat. "Ask."
"Do you have other identities that haven't been exposed? A hacker? Or do you have other identities? How can we find out?" Yu Qi's eyes widened several times, looking at the person in front of her with great expectation.
The girl looked at them and smiled.
Such an identity... of course they can't know!
A hacker's identity should not be exposed to others, but since this identity does not violate Chinese law, it should be fine.
"Yes, but I can't say. Just think of me as someone who's good at playing computer games."
Her ambiguous words immediately elevated her image in the eyes of the people in front of her. The others, being quite tactful, knew what she wanted to say and didn't press further.
With the domestic competition approaching, Qi Jiu did not sit with An Ran and the others this time.
With the teacher's command, the academic competitions at various universities officially began.
Everyone was well-prepared and gave their best. Although they are currently representing their own schools in this competition, in the future, they may be representing China and fighting for their country.
Therefore, everyone put in their best effort.
"Time's up! 4 teams have won!"
Looking at the huge gap in scores behind her, Qi Jiu's face remained unchanged, as if she had already expected it.
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage. Looking at the scores on the screen, almost everyone was filled with emotion.
"Only one point? That's outrageous. I knew Qi Jiu was a good student, but I didn't expect her to be this good. This is simply unbelievable."
"Help! Why aren't we in the same group? She only got one point, that's so embarrassing! I'm under so much pressure!"
"Don't say anymore. That one point was deliberately given to her by Qi Jiu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten any points at all. Qi Jiu has already been very accommodating."
"So, you're saying I came into this world just to fill a quota?"
"..."
"Qi Jiu, we're all classmates, is it really necessary to make such a scene?"
The one who lost was a little girl from Group 6. She was now sobbing, her head on the table. Her teammates couldn't stand it anymore and started questioning her.
She is indeed a righteous young woman, but her righteousness is not in terms of time.
"This is a competition, what, can't accept losing?" The girl crossed her legs and laughed as she looked at the man.
The person choked for a moment, then, feeling the gazes of the students in the classroom, spoke again. "Even though it's a competition, haven't you heard the saying 'friendship first, competition second'? That's really hurtful. Don't we have any pride?"
Looking at her phone, the girl gave Yu Qi a reassuring look.
"Friendship first, competition second? You're supposed to be competing for China, and you're giving me that kind of talk? If China weren't strong now, who would be your friend? Face? What's your face worth internationally?"
Being backward and weak invites aggression; that's the reality.
You can't stand it now? There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. If you met a formidable opponent abroad who didn't give you a single point, would you also cry and ask, "Isn't it supposed to be friendship first, competition second?"
Don't you feel ashamed?
When they go abroad, they represent China. Every word and action they take represents China. If such a situation occurs on the international stage, it will only bring shame to China!
The man choked on his words, unsure what to say. The girl who had returned and been crying on the table now looked up.
The atmosphere in the classroom had become tense at some point. Qi Jiu looked at everyone in Group 6, her face expressionless. "Only the students with the best grades can represent China. Otherwise, what are we even doing here?"
Friendship first, competition second; let's just pull two people over from the street.
The classroom fell silent after these words were spoken.
Seeing this, the teacher nodded. Friendship is friendship, but a competition is still a competition; this matter must be taken seriously.
The competition continued, and perhaps because of what had happened before, everyone was incredibly serious from then on.
"The first-ranked group is Group 4, and the second-ranked group is Group 1..."
The teacher looked at the rankings on the multimedia screen and nodded; it wasn't too different from what he had expected.
The match had just ended, and Qi Jiu and her friends were about to leave the classroom when two figures appeared in front of them. Looking up, they recognized two familiar faces.
The girl raised an eyebrow as she looked at the two of them.
"I was wrong about what happened during the match, I understand now, please don't be angry with me."
The girl at the front hesitated, looking at the ambiguous smile on his face, and became a little anxious. "I also want to fight for my country. I understand all those grand principles, but there are some..."
