Bit Mania [Hacking]

An electronic document was sent, Zhou Xiao gathered himself together, got rid of the embarrassment of being seen through before, concentrated his energy and began to read the topic above, who knew that the more he read it, the more wrong it became, an inexplicable sense of familiarity haunted him, but he could I'm sure I haven't seen these topics before, what is going on here?

The entire examination paper has roughly fifty or sixty questions. The first half is very difficult and is all about cutting-edge knowledge. Zhou Xiao racked his brains for a long time before he filled in a few boxes uncertainly, but there were still vacant ones. Most of the papers, and the second half of the papers took a sharp turn for the worse. They were all computer-based things that even college students could do, and it didn't look like they were written by the same person.

On the other side, his uncle who was teaching in Europe was still talking endlessly.

Vogt: ...Octo is really far-sighted. We didn't even think of putting the question in this form. You see, the first half covers a very wide range, covering almost most aspects of the computer field, and it is very in-depth. It is easy to divide the ability direction of each candidate, and then you can assign them different jobs... Wow, Octo is really a genius with a wide range of blogs...

Zhou Xiao didn't reply here, Vogt said to himself again: ... and the second half, although they are all simple questions, but have you discovered the intention here?The strength of our volunteers is uneven, the strong ones are very strong, and the weak ones... Although they are not too weak, but the mediocre strength still accounts for a large proportion. If the first half of the problem is to select generals, then The second half is to screen soldiers, and at the same time, it can calm people's hearts, and it is not easy for people to have negative feelings of inferiority. It is really a brilliant move...

Vogt: Xiao, are you still there?

At this time, Zhou Xiao had already pulled out the backup draft of the test paper of the computer application class of Beijing University, and compared it with Octo's test paper. A bold guess caused waves of turmoil in his heart. He couldn't restrain his shock. After thinking for a long time, he finally Still sent the Beijing University test paper to Vogt.

Aurora: Uncle, can you take a look at these two papers? ...

The other party was looking at what he sent, and at the same time, Zhou Xiao slowly told Vogt what happened.

After a long time, there was a reply from the other end. Vogt: ... Judging from the content of the test paper and the method of proposition, there is a 90.00% chance of five. It is certain that these are two test papers with half of the content swapped!

Aurora: God...could he be a child?

Vogt: Are you sure it's actually a little boy? ... To be honest, I prefer to believe that he is a dwarf who looks like a child... If what you said is true, it is simply too scary, did you learn computers from the womb...

He said so, Zhou Xiao was also a little uncertain. When he collided with Zixin for the first time, he didn't pay much attention to that person's appearance, so that he didn't dare to confirm that it was the other person when he went to find someone during the day... Speaking of Looking for someone, he would have stomachaches. If possible, anyone would wish to never see another guy who exposed his transvestism in his life.What's more, after being told the truth before, I fell into a feeling of embarrassment, and I still didn't notice what the other person looked like. I only knew that she was thin, fair-skinned, and quite big eyes... In short, she was cute.

Aurora: I'm not sure...

Vogt: Well, the network situation is tense now. Octo is our core figure. He can easily make those software companies feel uneasy, and the battle with IT giants such as MS and MBI is becoming more and more fierce. If O reveals his identity, It is likely to lead to a fatal disaster. You must find him, but you must also keep this matter secret to the end. No one can tell, including your parents, relatives, classmates, teachers, and girlfriend, and then try your best to protect him. , what happened, tell me immediately, got it?

As a member of the Octo group, Zhou Xiao naturally knows the seriousness of the matter. If Octo fails, maybe both FSF and Linux will be in chaos... But I never thought that one day I would bear such a heavy secret on my shoulders, which made this young man People are a little tense for a while.

Aurora: I see, I will do my best to protect him.

Vogt: Well, I'm relieved for you.You also need to go to the professor to deal with the test paper. The Linux system certification exam here... I will tell Octo, but it seems that it will continue. This paper is very suitable for the exam... Remember to keep it secret, if If it is leaked out, someone with a heart is fully capable of touching the country of Hua along that half of the simple scroll!

Aurora: Yes!

Zhou Xiao cleared the chat history, turned off the phone and went offline. It was snowing heavily in the cold winter night of the twelfth lunar month, and the windows were crackled by the howling wind. He randomly took a dark coat from the hanger and put it on, and was When I went out, I suddenly remembered that I was wearing women's clothing, but I didn't wear a wig. I was about to turn back after a step, and looked up at the wall clock on the wall. I gritted my teeth and stomped on the spot. Tighten the coat and rush into the snowy sky...

He, Zhou Xiao, is half responsible for getting the test paper wrong, and he must solve the hidden danger immediately. If Octo is exposed because of one of his own mistakes, then, maybe, the entire history of the Internet will be overturned tonight...

A week later, the results of the final exam came out. As always, some were happy and some were sad, but the results of Associate Professor Jiang Yunhua's computer application class surprised the students, and the worries turned into joy.It turns out that the difficult questions in the second half of the examination paper are all additional questions. Points will be added for correct answers, and no points will be deducted for wrong answers. There are as many as six out of [-] questions, but I am happy with the result, and I am glad that I did not fail the subject.

Many people even thought that the professor was deliberately frightening them with difficult problems. After a psychological gap, they realized Professor Jiang's "good intentions".

At the same time, Zixin and Zheng Xiu have set foot on the road back to Huanjiang.

The holidays in the past were short, and the winter vacation only lasted for two weeks. When I returned home before the New Year’s Eve, it was time to go back to school on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Zheng Xiu was alone, and the villa he lived in was deserted. Even without pretending, people could already feel that he was It was pitiful enough, so he hit it off with Zixin and decided to follow Huanjiang.Originally wanted to take Mr. Paul with him, but he was rejected because he said that the repair of the loophole had reached a critical moment, and he had to stay in the capital to overcome the difficulties. In addition, he was an old man in his 80s and [-]s. After many considerations, he still left a lot of necessary supplies and took Zheng Xiu back home.

When I got off the car, there was a breath of tide from the river. In the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, I felt refreshed in my bosom.This is Huanjiang, a small town built by the water, which is different from the wind and sand in the capital. If one side of the water and soil nurtures one person, then the children who grow up in Huanjiang must be surrounded by the southern river smoke day and night. Cage a body with unique icy muscles and bones, Zhongling Yuxiu.

Stepping into Huanjiang Town, Zheng Xiu's problem of not knowing the way has completely exploded. His memory has problems with Luo Zixin's residence. Many roads have no names, only the locals are used to calling them "East Street" and "North Street". This is all right, and he doesn't even leave him a chance to cheat, so he came to the town for a few days Residents of all ages on the street saw this novel scene: a white boy grabbed Zixin by the sleeve and was led around without parting for a moment.

"What's wrong, is there a way to cure it?" Zixin asked him.

Zheng Xiu was silent for a while, and replied: "I don't know if it can be cured... But, it should only be done by one person."

"Who?"

"Make me like this."

"Where is he now?"

He only vaguely remembered where that person would appear many years later: "Why, do you think I'm annoying?"

Zixin's eyes widened, and he was successfully distracted: "I'm afraid you, an idiot, will get lost!"

The amount of salary received from FSF and Mayer Company is very considerable, but considering that Zheng Xiu still has a share of the money given by FSF, with a little pride of joint financial management between two close friends, Zixin didn't touch the money, and only used the salary paid by Meyer to bring various gifts from the capital to his father and Mr. Song, then Du Feixue, his brother-in-law Chen Zhang, Aunt Du, and the others. I paid New Year greetings to the brothers and sisters one by one, and got a lot of red envelopes.

His cheeks were flushed by the women's hands, and his pockets were full of halva. He covered his face and ran out of Du's house. Behind him were the crisp laughter of the young women. Repairing the brakes with a face full of bumps, the two staggered, supported each other to stabilize each other, looked up at the sky, the sky at night was red, and light snow fell down one after another, and then there was a sudden scream, burning from the ground. Rays of light shot up straight into the air, and after climbing to the highest point, they bloomed with a "pop", and the gorgeous fireworks lit up the sky.

"...Zheng Xiu, thank you."

"no need thank me?"

Zixin didn't answer, but turned around and hugged each other vigorously with both hands wearing woolen gloves, and then let go, and the two walked the streets of the town one after the other as usual.

"...We seldom snow here, and even if there is, it is as sparse as it is now, and when it reaches the ground, it has turned into water...In primary schools, the school will organize to go to the theater to watch movies before the Spring Festival, but I don't like it. I don’t know why I just can’t see it, until now. Every time I can’t escape, and the other children are looking forward to it, so after escaping, I became a person... One year, the same Xiaoxue, was caught The teacher found that the person was missing, thought I was abducted, and searched everywhere urgently, but it was over there," Zixin pointed to the river-crossing bridge connecting the east and west banks of Huanjiang Town.It is said to be crossing the river, but in fact it is just crossing a tributary that is not too wide.

The smell of the river water and the sulfur smell of the firecrackers are mixed together. The smell is not very pleasant, but he doesn't hate it at all: "...I was caught under the bridge, and I was delirious from the cold, and I can't remember Why did I go there at that time... There was a pale yellow puppy who kept licking my face with its tongue. The place where it was licked was hot and humid, and when the wind blew, it was very cold, so it kept licking. …I was carried home by my father. He was still young at the time, and although his waist was injured, he was still quite strong… After returning home, I slept very lightly, as if I heard a dog barking in the distance… Woke up the next day and I went back under the bridge and saw the townspeople throwing a big stiff thing into a black trash bag...I saw it, it was the puppy...it...didn't make it through... "

Zheng Xiu listened to him quietly, following behind him.

Zi Xin paused and turned slightly sideways: "Zheng Xiu, can you walk beside me?"

"it is good."

"Do you know what to do for New Year's Eve?"

"doing what?"

"It's suitable for fishing," Zixin said, "Look, on the riverside, you have a wide view, and you can see all the fireworks in the town. It's the most suitable for watching the New Year while fishing. The fish you catch are also suitable for Chinese New Year. Vegetables are more than enough every year, killing two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”

The weather in the south is not easy for the flowing river to freeze. The two went home and got the tools, then returned to the river, walked carefully down the slope, and opened the folding chairs when they came to the river. They didn’t even need to light the windproof lamp , just flicking the fishing rod with the fireworks all over the sky, and started fishing decently.

The clock was turning slowly, and there was an endless stream of fireworks. The two chatted, sometimes cheering, sometimes silent. When it was close to midnight, the fireworks for the New Year’s Eve became more and more brilliant. Zheng Xiu tilted his head , but Zixin on the left has closed his eyes, and the flickering fire softens the immature lines of half of his face.

He stared blankly for a while, then unzipped the cotton-padded jacket, carefully supported the person in his arms, and wrapped it in the cotton-padded jacket.Thinking of the past that the boy just said, he lowered his head in a mysterious way, and stuck out his tongue to try to lick it, but when it landed on the face, it turned into a light kiss.

For a moment, I hope that the years will continue to flow peacefully like this.

At this moment, the fish floated, and the boy in his arms opened his eyes in a daze, and then his face beamed with joy: "Zheng Xiu, a fish has been hooked, please help!"

Zheng Xiu's arms were empty, and he quickly stood up, but he was annoyed by his flashing negative thoughts.

Octo, you are destined to be the brightest legend of this era.
