ADAPTED FROM JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY NOVELS

WRITTEN BY TWENTINE (ZHOU AIHUA)

Lina, we have arrived.

Are you at school?

Gao.

This is for you.

Did you buy this?

Last time, you treated me to dinner,

so consider this a thank you.

You are so polite.

Thank you.

I didn't know,

so I chose one that looked nice to me.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Won't you open it?

I'll like it either way.

Okay.

Gao, did you come alone again?

Where is Li Xun? Is he here yet?

Yes.

Where is he?

He's in our room.

We changed our project as he said.

I wanted him to take a look.

Let's go upstairs.

He's sleeping.

Why is he sleeping at this hour?

Is he an old man?

He has been irritated lately.

Don't bother him.

He scolds people mercilessly.

Really?

Fine.

Then I'll go shopping.

I'll go with you.

I'm free.

I would like to take a walk.

All right.

This is so cute.

Yes.

This macchiato is too sweet.

-I'll get fat. -Then give it to me.

I'll buy you a new one later.

-This. -Thank you for coming.

I didn't choose this.

Check out our comprehensive oral care brand.

How can I help you?

I want to buy a toothbrush for my friend.

Can you recommend one?

Okay, then you can take a look

at our marble electric toothbrush.

It's popular and cleans effectively.

-Really? -There are 12 modes.

You can adjust the intensity.

Is this for couples?

Yes, it's for couples.

It's pretty. Then I would like a pair.

Okay. Will that be cash or credit?

Cash.

-Okay. -Wait. I'll buy it myself.

-Credit. -Okay.

-You're back. -Yes.

I bought some fruit.

-Have some. -Okay.

How was the discussion today?

Pretty good.

That's good. Why are you back so late?

I was stopped on my way back.

Good luck with the competition.

You'll always be number one to me!

Xu Lina.

Tonight, let's go to the restaurant that we booked last time.

Our teams can dine together.

-How many of you are there? -Zhu Yun?

You can go ahead.

Bye.

Did you change your number after high school?

I forgot to get your number last time.

Are you also competing?

You didn't answer when I asked before.

I didn't see your name on the list.

Come on. Did you have to be secretive?

I have a group meeting later.

It will end around seven o'clock.

Let's have dinner then.

No, thank you.

It has been a long time since we last met.

Let's catch up over dinner.

I have dinner plans with my team.

Is Li Xun here too?

Of course.

You're good at hiding your trump card.

I really want to see how capable he is.

I have to go. I'm going to be late.

By the way, give me your number.

I don't have my cell phone with me.

I can't remember the number.

If you say so.

Next time then.

Bye, old friend.

SUBMISSION CATALOG

PROGRAM CODE

SUBMISSION CATALOG

Have you submitted it?

The deadline is 12 p.m.

It's 11:40 a.m. now.

What are you doing?

Click submit.

Should we test it again?

No need. It's done already.

Let's test it again.

You've tested it many times.

What if there is a problem with this platform?

There are only three competition platforms.

Windows, Linux,

and Unix.

Not even pupils can mess up.

But I'm afraid…

UPLOADED

-Is-- -Done and dusted.

Is that it?

What a coward.

Hello.

-Over here. -Okay.

Hello. I'm so sorry.

There was traffic due to the heavy rain.

It's okay. I just arrived.

Is that so?

Well, I'm going to the restroom.

Order a macchiato for me.

-Okay. -Okay.

Excuse me.

-Hello. -One macchiato, not too sweet.

Okay.

Thank you, Tian Feng.

How is it?

Isn't this a good place?

You should avoid suspicions at this time

instead of meeting me in private.

I'm cautious. This place is so far away.

-Fang Zhijing? -So what is the matter?

Isn't that the sponsor of the competition?

Tian Feng, I heard

that Nanhu University has a pretty good project.

The judges love it.

Did you hear this?

Have you seen their project?

What did you think of it?

What's wrong?

Are you scared?

Am I scared? Not at all.

One can't be too careful though.

By the way, Tian Feng,

do you think

you can speak with Mr. Chen

to ask the committee to create a special prize?

There is no such award.

It won't work.

Tian Feng, listen to me first.

Think about it.

Haven't we made an agreement?

The contract is just waiting to be signed.

Mr. Chen also needs

to boost his performance this year, right?

If something goes wrong here,

the company will treat him as a joke.

How should I persuade Mr. Chen?

How about this?

I can give up another 3%

of the patent transfer fee.

Tian Feng,

in the future,

30% of the annual patent transfer fee will be yours

and 70% will be mine.

Okay, I will give it a try.

Great. Thank you, Tian Feng.

I have an afternoon meeting. I have to go.

Let me walk you out.

Wait, Tian Feng. Take an umbrella.

Thank you for this.

Discuss it with Mr. Chen.

Fang Zhijing?

Isn't the guy next to Fang Zhijing

our competition's sponsor?

Do you know him?

He was also present in the forum.

What is Fang Zhijing doing with him?

What are you going to do?

He must be up to something.

During the competition,

meeting with sponsors privately is against the rules.

Don't be so impulsive.

I'll report them to the committee.

Do you have any evidence?

We saw it with our own eyes.

So what?

Did you hear what they said?

It's against the rules to meet privately.

But at most, they will get a reprimand.

Will that help?

Isn't it a coincidence that we came across him?

I didn't expect Fang Zhijing to do such a thing.

What about Fang Zhijing?

When we had coffee this afternoon,

we ran into Fang Zhijing.

I've never met anyone so dishonest.

We saw him with someone

from the organizing committee.

What happened?

Sorry, I have to get this. Carry on.

The competition will start soon.

He met with the sponsor in secret

in a far-off place.

It couldn't just have been a normal chat.

I think they were discussing

predetermining the award winners.

Do they have a favorite for the finals?

What finals?

They are toying with us fools.

Why is it so cold?

Has the taxi arrived?

Soon.

What would you like for dinner?

Some people are really despicable.

They will do anything for an award.

Being able to sell patents is a skill.

Instead of gossiping here,

some people should go back and improve their skills.

What kind of skills?

The skills to play dirty tricks and pull strings?

What bullshit are you talking about?

Whether it's bullshit is clear

to everyone.

Xu Lina.

What right do you have to slander me?

You only got accepted because of extra credits

as a student gifted in folk dance.

Don't you know your own programming level?

Have you no shame

to talk about pulling strings?

Explain yourself.

You know very well

how many people you asked for help

to make your shabby program.

On your own,

you couldn't advance to the finals in your life.

I've improved it

with at least three iterations.

Right, Li Xun?

Ms. Xu.

Before you criticize someone next time,

consider whether you are in any position to.

You…

Let's go. The car is here.

How can there be such a person?

Fang Zhijing.

Is what Xu Lina said true?

Zhu Yun,

why are you still so naïve?

How can you be so blunt?

I asked you if it is true.

Are you participating

because you really want to compete with me?

What a pity.

I would love to compete with your amazing Li Xun.

But there's no chance.

Maybe next time.

So it really is rigged.

You got scared once Li Xun showed up

and resorted to such dirty means.

Is it called means when the judges think my work is good?

You have seen the tricks

that people like Xu Lina play.

They have their resources.

I have my own way.

We are no different.

And I don't care.

Do you know the essential difference

between me and them?

They can choose to talk nonsense or not.

I can also choose to listen or not.

But whether they talk nonsense or not,

my result will not be changed.

If I choose to listen,

at most, I will be annoyed for a while.

If I choose not to listen,

then I'm the winner.

You're so smart.

You should understand

who is better.

In this world,

heroes are always judged by their success or failure.

People always

worship only the victor.

Believe it or not,

as long as I keep succeeding,

everyone will forget today's criticism

and become my fanatical followers

and admirers.

Okay, I'm done.

Bye.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I didn't carve out so much time

to see you like this.

I'm sorry.

Do you hate Fang Zhijing?

I see.

Aren't you going to ask why?

No.

What if the reason doesn't convince you?

It doesn't matter even if there is no reason.

Everyone makes decisions based on their emotions at times.

Do you have a solution?

No.

Do not overdo it.

Some things never come to fruition.

Cut your losses.

Don't waste your time.

I'm tired. You should leave.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY

Hello.

How are you? Are you nervous?

I have to tell you.

On the day of the competition,

the group leader will explain on stage first

and the judges will score on the spot.

You only have ten minutes to explain.

Then it's the product demonstration.

Zhu Yun.

Ms. Zhu?

Mr. Lin.

I mean to say,

do a practice run on your own first.

Within a short amount of time,

clearly show the product's creativity,

technology roadmap,

and application prospect

to the judges and audience.

This is very important.

Got it?

Yes.

Mr. Lin, is the USB encryption project

from Information Technology University

already chosen as the winner?

Ms. Zhang told me about it.

I also inquired about it indirectly.

There is indeed a rumor

that says

there will be a special prize.

Don't think so much about it.

This is beyond our control.

Just mind your business.

We learn for ourselves, right?

I understand.

I have class.

I'll be waiting for your good news.

-Bye. -All right. Goodbye, Mr. Lin.

Goodbye, Mr. Lin.

Didn't you hear Mr. Lin?

They're giving them a special prize.

This is good for us.

Our biggest competitor is out of the way.

It will do us no harm.

We have a better chance.

There is no chance.

He will still gloat on stage

and proudly give an acceptance speech.

No one knows how dirty he is.

Nor can anyone tear off his hypocritical mask.

In this world,

there is no absolute fairness.

Moreover,

there are countless roads to victory.

Even if you block off one path,

there are countless other paths open to him.

Where is Li Xun?

Where did he go?

He hasn't been back for days.

He didn't answer any calls or WeChat messages.

I don't know if he came

to compete or on vacation.

I'm tired. I'm going back for a nap.

By the way, Tian Feng,

do you think

you can speak with Mr. Chen

to ask the committee…

Do you really think no one can defeat you,

Li Xun?

Even if you block off one path,

there are countless other paths open to him.

DELETE

CONFIRM

Do you really think you can do anything?

INFORMATION SECURITY COMPETITION

JIANGUANG ELECTRONICS CUP

I think we will be fine.

Princess, take another look.

Stop that.

Where is Li Xun?

I don't know.

Congratulations.

You don't know yet, do you?

You won first prize this time.

Really?

And what about you?

I can't compete with you.

I got a special prize.

You don't even have a chance to compete with me.

Are you disappointed?

Where is Li Xun? Is he absent again?

He's busy.

He is really mysterious.

He doesn't leave others any chance to worship him.

This result for a freshman

is really amazing.

Let's have a chat later.

Bye.

He sure has thick skin.

Next, we are going

to issue the first prize.

Nanhu University,

Switch-based LAN ARP

Attack Defense System.

The winners

are Gao Jianhong, Zhu Yun,

and Li Xun.

Let's go together.

You go.

Thank you.

Nice!

-Great job! -Great job!

Next up

is our most important segment.

We have a work

that stood out at the competition stage

and received the opportunity to a contract offer in advance.

The purpose of this competition

is to promote exchange and cooperation

between enterprises and universities.

This work has taken the first step for us.

As a result,

we set up a special prize.

The winner is the Information Technology University,

USB Smart Encryption Interface.

The participants are

Fang Zhijing, Wang Yujun, and Zhang Shuo.

We also invite

the sponsor of this competition,

the leader of Huake Technology Co., Ltd,

to present the award to them on stage.

Thank you.

I'm going to call Old Lin.

-Can you say a few words? -Yes, sure.

Hello, everyone.

I am Fang Zhijing.

Here,

I would first like to thank the organizing committee

for giving us this special prize.

Secondly,

I want to thank all of you here.

Thank you for your hard work. Thank you.

Get off the stage!

I know that

there have been a lot of rumors in school recently

saying that I cheated

or I stole others' work.

I believed

the truth speaks for itself.

I don't need to explain something I haven't done.

But this is quite unfair

to the rest of my team.

So I solemnly state here

that I, Fang Zhijing,

have never done anything

in violation of the competition's rules.

Those irresponsible remarks,

be it slander or false accusations,

damaged this competition's reputation

and are a great insult to the fairness

and impartiality of this competition.

It's an insult to the fairness of the competition

that your shabby project can win a special prize.

-Who's that? -Isn't that Li Xun?

Is it Li Xun?

Who is this?

Li Xun.

What's up?

Why did you disappear?

Where have you been?

I was away doing bad things.

JIANGUANG ELECTRONICS CUP

What do you mean?

I mean,

your so-called encryption interface

is totally vulnerable

and doesn't deserve this prize.

Li Xun,

you need to take responsibility for your remarks.

Am I afraid of responsibility

or are you?

-Right! Are you afraid of responsibility? -Yes!

-Yes! -Yes!

-You are afraid! -You are afraid!

-Are you afraid? -Are you afraid?

-Are you afraid? -Are you afraid?

-Are you afraid? -Are you afraid?

-Okay. -Are you afraid?

If he can

crack my encrypted USB disk,

I can give up

the patent transfer fee

to him.

But

if you can't break it,

you need

to apologize to me.

Okay.

It's a deal.

For the sake of fairness,

I will use the committee's computer.

Help yourself.

This competition will be spectacular.

I have confidence in Fang Zhijing.

JIANGUANG ELECTRONICS CUP

USB ENCRYPTION

What are they doing?

Li Xun is cracking Fang Zhijing's encrypted USB disk.

I've seen your program introduction.

Good concept.

Of course.

Or I wouldn't take your challenge.

I have three ways

to crack it within a minute.

Okay.

This USB disk contains my personal information.

If he can crack it,

I'll show it to all of you.

Are you sure?

I'm sure. Go ahead.

You're very thoughtful.

To prevent forgetting the password,

while the USB disk is encrypted,

a key is usually generated.

Indeed.

Our patent takes into account

that many people forget their passwords.

But you aren't skilled enough.

What is generated is a local static key.

This kind of key can be found

by hacking your computer.

The "e" here represents the drive letter to be unlocked.

This is the local static key

that you saved.

Incredible.

Let me see.

There is nothing private here.

Did you hide it all?

SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS

Goodness.

His girlfriend is in there.

You didn't hide such private files well.

Looking at the file source, you have another WeChat account.

Does your girlfriend know that?

That's not good.

DELETING 102 ITEMS

It's not over yet.

Does everyone want to see more?

-Yes! -Yes!

Let's continue.

The second way.

Empty disk cloning.

Now I am going to use Ghost

to clone the disk.

But I must say

your encryption software is quite secure.

Even in DOS,

it prohibits the use of Ghost.

Once Ghost is activated,

the USB will automatically eject.

COPY SECTOR

Even if you plug it back in,

it is not visible in Ghost.

Therefore,

I used DiskGenius,

a software for direct operation of a hard disk.

I insert two USB disks and directly copy it.

Decryption successful.

This encryption software

is associated with the USB disk's serial number,

so if it enters a new USB disk,

the files will be automatically released.

-Amazing. -Amazing.

He's incredible.

You can't even delete a file cleanly.

You need better security awareness.

This is the Information Security Competition.

You don't deserve

the special prize.

Well done, Li Xun!

You're so cool!

Good job!

That's his girlfriend.

How embarrassing.

This is too outrageous.

Mr. Peng, you can't let him continue.

Don't worry.

Isn't he testing your product?

This doesn't comply with the rules.

This isn't the right place for this.

We'll continue this later.

Are you leaving just like that?

If you run away,

you won't be able to sell your patent.

I'll give you a chance

to patch it.

USB ENCRYPTION

UPDATE PATCH SUCCEEDED!

Only five seconds are left.

Li Xun,

only five seconds are left.

Can you do it?

Let's get started.

Li Xun, three seconds left!

What did he do?

Mr. Peng, look at him!

Does that mean he can't afford to lose?

Who says?

Are you afraid to lose?

Look at him!

He's afraid to lose!

Well?

Admit you lost.

Do you still need me to explain it to you?

The third method

is a physical method.

As long as the memory chip

or the controller chip is replaced,

the original software encryption

will be automatically invalidated.

It's such a simple concept.

I don't need to explain it to you, right?

Sorry.

I took up a minute of your time.

But next,

I have to take up a little more time.

This is the surveillance footage at a cafe on Nanchang Road

last Saturday afternoon.

What can that show?

I am acquainted with Tian Feng.

I should have been more circumspect,

but I haven't seen him in ages.

We just met up for coffee. What's wrong?

Is there a problem with that?

Really?

By the way, Tian Feng,

do you think

you can speak with Mr. Chen

to ask the committee to create a special prize?

Think about it.

Haven't we made an agreement?

This is the cafe I went to that day.

The day I saw him.

Mr. Chen also needs

to boost his performance this year, right?

If something goes wrong here,

the company will treat him as a joke.

How should I persuade Mr. Chen?

How about this?

I can give up another 3%

of the patent transfer fee.

In the future,

30% of the annual patent transfer fee will be yours

and 70% will be mine.

Okay, I will give it a try.

Look at what you've done!

Mr. Chen!

Mr. Chen, listen to me.

Li Xun,

I'll remember you.

Young man,

I feel that your actions

seem to run afoul of the competition's rules.

This will also affect your competition results.

I see.

Then can you tell me

why you did this?

Because of love.

Li Xun, I love you!

You are so cool!

-Li Xun! -Li Xun!

That was a slap in the face

to the judging committee.

That's good, I suppose.

You did make sure

of the fairness and justice of our competition.

We will revoke the special prize.

But

you have to be punished too.

I know.

By the way, I have a project in Sanya this summer.

It's still in the confidential stage.

Would you like to go with me?

Let me think it over.

You are putting on airs.

All right. See you later.

Let's go.

Fang Zhijing.

You are actually quite smart in some ways.

Some of your ideas are also correct.

In this world,

heroes are indeed judged by their success.

But it's a pity.

You got the end time wrong.

There is still a long way to go.

It is

not over yet.

Okay.

I'll be waiting.

Let's go.

Are you happy now?

Then give me a smile.

Silly girl.

Are you really that happy?

Yes.

I've never been so happy.

That's good.

Or else, this would've been a big loss.

Where did you go the past few days?

Do you really think

I can decode Fang Zhijing's encrypted USB

within one minute?

I worked on it for several days.

I'm so exhausted.

Li Xun.

What kind of person can be called a princess?

A princess?

First,

a princess should have clear eyes.

Second,

she should be innocent and fragile.

Of course,

if she has the daring spirit of risking it all on one thing,

then all the better.

Do you think he and I are…

A perfect match.

Go slowly.

Li Xun.

I want to start a business with you.

Let's start with L&P.

Do whatever you want.

I'm your confidence.

Li Xun!

I've come to see you, brother.

Why are you here?
