Chapter 008: Miss from a Wealthy Family (8)

After receiving the notification, Ye Shaohua went to the country M.

Upon learning that Ye Shaohua had achieved the highest score in the province, her father had considered bringing her back. However, to his surprise, it seemed as if Ye Shaohua had disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't find any information about her.

Gradually, both Ye's family and Ningcheng almost forgot about Ye Shaohua.

It wasn't until two years later when a game company called Star River Network emerged in country M, developing a technology called StarNet and a game based on brainwave sensing. Although still in the trial phase, it instantly shocked the world.

No one knew who was behind this company. All people knew was that within just a month of its launch, Star River Network had dominated the market in M continent.

Even the giants in the IT industry couldn't deny that Star River Network would bring about a revolutionary change in the internet era.

Countless businessmen wanted to get involved with this company, but they couldn't even find out who was behind it.

Meanwhile, in the country of Hua, Ye Ke also made a name for herself.

Having been reborn ten years ago, she had advanced directly to the prestigious Jing University in these two years, thanks to three forward-thinking software applications, and was successfully recruited by the national laboratory.

Not only that, she also had a good grasp of the financial changes in recent years. By manipulating several stocks, she successfully acquired several companies during the financial market fluctuations, ultimately relocating the Ye family's headquarters to the capital city.

Most importantly, the software she developed was recognized by the hacker alliance.

She was the most elusive figure in the business world in recent years, and a shining star in the computer industry. Even senior figures in national laboratories had to seek her advice on the software she developed.

Online, people hailed her as the national goddess.

She was Ye Ke.

At this moment, Ye Ke was in the largest computer company in the capital city. Although this company appeared no different from an ordinary company on the surface, Ye Ke knew that the person behind it was actually the chief genius of the international hacker alliance and the champion of the previous global hacker competition. Most importantly, his ancestors were high-ranking military and political figures.

If it weren't for her memories from her previous life, she would have had no idea that this seemingly low-key company had such a terrifying background.

In this life, she had long planned to establish a good relationship with the manager of this company, Gu Jingyan.

She lacked nothing, except for a strong background.

"Five, a pleasant cooperation," Ye Ke signed the document and looked curiously at the lounge, but then withdrew her gaze.

Over the past two years, Gu Jingyan had come to admire her. After all, the wisdom accumulated over the past ten years, even the most discerning person would find no fault in it. As a result, the two had become friendly partners.

Ye Ke had been worried that Gu Jingyan might still be in contact with Ye Shaohua, but in these two years, she had never seen Gu Jingyan communicate with Ye Shaohua, which finally put her mind at ease.

"Tomorrow is the hacker competition, and you seem to be in a good mood," Gu Jingyan was curious.

"The organizer of this hacker competition is Star River Network," Ye Ke's eyes lit up, "I want to win first place. The people at Star River Network are too mysterious, and this is the only way to meet their leader."

This Star River Network had never appeared in her previous life, and Ye Ke felt that this might be a butterfly effect caused by her rebirth.

She had also studied the software released by Star River Network and found that it was completely different from what she had seen in her previous life. She couldn't figure anything out.

It was evident that the person who created Star River Network had far surpassed her in this field, even surpassing the hacker alliance. Therefore, she knew how terrifying Star River Network was.

"First place?" Gu Jingyan smiled meaningfully, "Are you that confident?"

"Of course," this time, Ye Ke answered very quickly. Not to mention that she knew the content of this hacker competition, her mind was still filled with the wisdom of the global hacker competition over the past ten years.

She had already emerged as the top in Asia in the preliminary round of the hacker competition two years ago, and no one had expected that the relatively unknown Ye Ke from two years ago would surpass all the geniuses.

Hackers from other countries were watching this dark horse from the country of Hua with envy.

In the global hacker competition, almost everyone would subconsciously look over when they heard the name Ye Ke.

This made Ye Ke feel extremely superior.

Unlike other competitions, each participant in the hacker competition had their own independent workspace with a camera to ensure the fairness of the competition. The difference was that each participant could choose to bring in an audience to watch the process.

Ye Ke brought people from the Ye family and the Fu family, and even invited Gu Jingyan.

Confidently pointing at the computer screen showing the Windows "zombie" machine, she said to the crowd, "This is an attack and defense competition. Do you see? I used this kernel vulnerability to execute remote code, then took over the StarNet browser's system privilege. By the time the other competitors find me through the vulnerability, I will have already won 11 points. The first place is definitely mine."

The people from the Ye family and the Fu family couldn't understand, and Fu Jiachen looked at Ye Ke with a slight daze.

Gu Jingyan understood these things, and after looking at the screen, he suddenly shook his head, "Miss Ye, don't be too happy too soon."

At that moment, the alarm set by Ye Ke suddenly sounded sharply—someone had touched her IP?!

How was this possible?

Ye Ke couldn't believe it. The firewall and remote code she used were the same as those used by the previous first-place winner in her previous life, and the official competition had spent two years improving them before releasing them on the official website for free.

Such an almost perfect firewall, even now, most people wouldn't be able to attack it in the short term.

"Don't worry, my firewall comes with its own virus. If someone wants to attack me, they are still too inexperienced. Do you know there's something called phishing in this world?" Ye Ke immediately placed her hands on the keyboard, with a hint of pride and mockery in her tone. Trying to attack the firewall two years later, how naive.

She had great confidence in her firewall and remained calm, continuing to monitor for any potential threats.

With only one minute left in the competition, Ye Ke was leading with 11 points.

However, at this moment, a change occurred. The code on Ye Ke's desktop went crazy and turned into garbled text. Her captured browser was used as a springboard for a direct intrusion into the browser's internal system!

And that wasn't all, her computer screen turned black, and then two white letters appeared out of nowhere—KO!

Ye Ke turned abruptly, and on the competition wall, the previously leading first place had been taken over by someone else.

Y, with 19 points.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ke bit her lip fiercely, unable to believe it. "Y? How could it be Y? How could they possibly participate in a hacking competition?!"

The black competition has an age limit, only those under 25 years old can participate, and only once in a lifetime.

Y had caused a sensation in the hacker community, and everyone instinctively believed that someone with such skills must be older, perhaps a former champion of a previous hacking competition.

But unexpectedly, this Y was not only very young but also participating in a hacking competition for the first time!

"Y is indeed Y." Gu Jingyan seemed to have anticipated the result long ago, so he wasn't surprised.

As the competition ended, teachers from the national laboratory also came in. Ye Ke had secured second place, which was already a commendable achievement.

After hearing Gu Jingyan's words, he nodded and sighed, "Yes, young people nowadays are remarkable. With 19 points, the last time someone achieved this score was Three Shao, right? I bet Y is going to be snapped up by Star River Network, and their future achievements will be limitless."

"The most important thing for hackers is to create a new virtual world and develop the most perfect software." Over the past two years, Ye Ke had created numerous software for the Ye family, making it one of the top 100 global companies. However, achieving this at the age of nineteen was nothing short of a miracle for most people.

As someone who had achieved extreme success in various aspects, Ye Ke was naturally extremely confident. "I don't deny Y's hacking skills, but that doesn't mean he has achieved the same level in programming. The world has never lacked hacker geniuses, but truly reaching the pinnacle is a rare feat."

What she had accomplished was something that many people wouldn't achieve in several lifetimes. Y might have some talent in hacking, but that's all. If it came down to a comparison, a member of the Ye family alone would be enough to surpass Y.
