Techniques and Dao

Chapter 195 Nighttime Visit
Upon seeing the figure in the light blue martial arts uniform, Zhang Jia, nicknamed "Little Strawberry," immediately thought of the little brother who had given her a candy in the hospital, helping her recover from a serious illness.

He flew out of the window!
But upon closer inspection, Zhang Jia realized that apart from the same clothes, this young man looked different from the previous one.

The two were about the same age, but the first one had short hair, while the second had long hair. The hair didn't look like it had grown in just a few months.

What's more, this person is wearing a sparkly earring on their left ear.

Little Strawberry, remembering that her mother was still watching TV inside and worried about causing trouble, could only peek out softly at the figure and ask, "Who... are you?"

"My name is Taishang Xiaojun."

The other party's polite demeanor reassured Little Strawberry.

The young man named Taishang Xiaojun took out a phone from his pocket and swiped out a photo of a boy.

Because the phone screen was broken, it took Little Strawberry a while to recognize the person before she exclaimed, "I know this brother!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun said, "His name is Hua Sheng. I am his fellow disciple... no, classmate."

"You can all fly! That's amazing!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun glanced at the schoolbag next to Xiao Cao Mei and asked, "You're already in school?"

"Yes, all children have to go to school."

"Hmm, your human textbooks are quite powerful. I even used a textbook to seal a giant beast called Chaos."

Little Strawberry gets a headache just thinking about the textbook, and takes the opportunity to complain: "The questions in this textbook are so difficult, even a god wouldn't be able to do them."

"So what do you usually study?"

Little Strawberry thought for a moment and said, "Besides Chinese, math, and English, it's about following the natural way."

Upon hearing this, Tai Shang Xiao Jun was greatly surprised: "Wow! You're now learning the same courses as the Daoist Arts Academy?"

Little Strawberry was even more surprised and asked, "What? Do you study ethics, law, and natural sciences where you live?"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun wiped the sweat from his brow and replied, "It seems that what you learn at the Dao of Arts Academy is slightly different from what you learn..."

Little Strawberry sighed and said, "I think so... Your courses are definitely not as difficult as ours. If we don't go to tutoring classes here, it's very difficult to pass the exams."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun didn't continue discussing such a heavy topic, but instead said anxiously, "Zhang Jia, I have important business to attend to today. Hua Sheng and I have talked about you. He said that you will become the most outstanding computer genius in the world and develop some kind of super intelligent agent."

"Huh? You mean the software code that can achieve the Internet of Things and self-develop and update itself? How does he know I'm doing this now?" Zhang Jia turned the laptop screen on the coffee table.

The computer screen clearly displayed "Strawberry beta test version 0.02".

Strawberry beta test version 0.02! This is a super intelligent program!

Seeing this line of text on the screen, Tai Shang Xiao Jun was startled and hurriedly said, "This timing is wrong! Didn't Hua Sheng say it should be more than ten years later? Could it be because you took the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill?"

Zhang Jia tilted her head and asked, "What's this 'Nine-Processed Tangerine Peel Pill'?"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun rested his chin on his hand, pondering as he said, "It must be related to this elixir, but that shouldn't be the case. Why didn't others... No, could it be coffee? There might have been some coffee powder left in the alchemy furnace. We might have mistakenly mixed coffee into it as a medicinal ingredient, causing side effects and prematurely stimulating this child's potential?"

Little Strawberry Zhang Jia was completely confused: "Um... I don't quite understand."

"That's great! I think it's promising!" Tai Shang Xiao Jun clapped his fist in his palm. "Little Strawberry, there are two very important and urgent matters that I need your help with! But I don't know if you understand them."

"You have to explain for me to understand?" Little Strawberry looked at Supreme Lord Xiaojun. "I need a command and control system for my troops, like a platform to issue orders to the front lines. There are... one, two, three, four, five! Five people at the front!"

Little Strawberry thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... there aren't many people. When do we need to go?"

"I'd better do it now!"

Without even blinking, Little Strawberry replied, "But I need the battlefield map to optimize the program."

Upon hearing this, Tai Shang Xiao Jun felt there was hope and exclaimed with delight, "The map is Jinling City! No, it should be NJ City now. So you think it's possible?"

Little Strawberry said, "My Strawberry Smart Program has a similar function. We can try to call up the existing code and add it to the map to basically complete the task. However, you need to equip those combat personnel with wireless headsets, otherwise the command and control platform's instructions will not be transmitted to everyone."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun said, "That's no problem, I'll think of a way!"

"And what's the other thing?"

"That's a difficult matter; this is the first time I've heard of it either. Do you understand that the internet can connect almost all current electronic devices?"

"Ah."

"The combined computing power of these electronic devices will be sent to a place in Paris called the Klin Magic Academy."

Little Strawberry jumped up excitedly, "Wow! That's amazing! So awesome!"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun said with a helpless expression, "It's impressive! But unfortunately, this technology is on the enemy's side and is being used to attack the Jinling Dragon Vein. Therefore, I need some method to reduce this powerful computing power to zero, no, even a significant reduction would be fine. And this problem needs you to solve now..."

After hearing this, Little Strawberry lowered her head and focused intently on typing on the keyboard.

She remained silent for a while, as if she hadn't heard the question. Tai Shang Xiao Jun, standing to the side, couldn't help but urge her, remembering the passing time, "I know this matter is very complicated, and you might not understand what I mean. It's alright, solving the problem with the command and control platform has also been a great help to me..."

Little Strawberry suddenly interrupted him, speaking rapidly: "If global computing power is input into Paris, there will be a delay due to the undersea fiber optic cables in various locations. This delay will vary from place to place, and it's difficult to solve this all at once using a Trojan virus. So, if, as you say, the computing power aggregation point is in Paris, then the most efficient method is to implant a Trojan virus into Paris. At the same time, since Paris is also part of the global internet, this will not only intercept the computing power as it enters, but once Paris is compromised, the Trojan will also spread rapidly around the world. In this way, the input of computing power will become weaker and weaker."

Tai Shang Xiao Jun was completely confused and asked, "Then... how do we put the virus you mentioned into those electronic devices in Paris? I know the convergence point should be at Klin Magic Academy. Do we need to directly implant the virus you mentioned into the electronic devices at Klin Magic Academy?"

As Little Strawberry typed on the keyboard, she said, "That would be ideal! But I don't think it would be very easy for you to do that, right?"

"how do you know?"

"If that's really possible, then you can just destroy the convergence point directly. Why bother trying to reduce computing power?"

Tai Shang Xiao Jun nodded: "That's true. We know nothing about the computational magic circle at Klin Magic Academy, let alone its exact location. We have far too little useful information at the moment!"

"Then we must use a method that has never been used before to spread Trojan viruses. Because it has never been done before, the relevant channels will not set up firewalls against this type of attack, so that the spread speed can compete with global computing power. Otherwise, once the speed slows down, the spread will be suppressed by global computing power."

After listening to Zhang Jia's earnest explanation, Tai Shang Xiao Jun asked with a blank expression, "Then... what are you talking about regarding the virus transmission channels?"

Little Strawberry stopped typing, stood up, and went into the room.

When she walked back to the balcony, she had a colorful plastic card in her hand.

Tai Shang Xiao Jun looked at it closely and said, "This is a bank credit card? Then what channel are you talking about?"

"money!"
