Chapter 785: 768. Feng Ge is becoming more and more like a programmer! (3)
At night, under this tent, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng embraced each other as they slept.
Above Ling Mountain, below the clouds, they dined and lodged in the wild, becoming one with nature.
Everything was beautifully indescribable.
The next day at 5:30 a.m., the students got up one by one, rubbing their sleepy eyes, yawning, and sleepily waiting for the sunrise to arrive.
A group of young people, both male and female, stood atop the high mountain, looking up at the white belly gradually appearing on the horizon...
Their bright eyes reflected the red glow, slowly witnessing the sun rise from the clouds, illuminating all things in the world, illuminating the myriad human conditions, illuminating the grand civilization...
The ancient capital of Beijing, the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Siheyuan, and more, all reflect the enduring Chinese civilization from ancient times to the present.
Standing at the peak of Ling Mountain, looking out over this splendid landscape, it was indeed hard not to feel exhilarated.
Pu Sangzhi sat next to Huo Feng, held by his arm, and thought to herself that perhaps a simple life with him, watching the world’s beautiful sceneries, wouldn’t be so bad.
"Do you know?"
Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi spoke, "Beijing is the only artificially created feng shui capital. Every structure in Beijing, the layout of the Siheyuan in the Forbidden City, and even the positioning of modern buildings like the Water Cube are all based on the principles of feng shui and the five elements. Perhaps it is because of the superstitious knowledge left by our ancestors that Beijing has always been the everlasting capital, maintaining peace for China."
Huo Feng, who half understood, asked, "Is this what your teacher taught you?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "This kind of superstitious belief isn’t found in textbooks, but almost every teacher touches on it when mentioning architecture. Although we in the Civil Engineering Department deal with steel and concrete, our teachers have suggested we take some courses in architecture. They said learning a bit about feng shui and the I Ching is always beneficial."
Hearing this, Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and said, "Our Professor Yao told us to uphold science. The cultural construction of cities is all due to the advancement of technology. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to be promoting superstition to me now?"
Pu Sangzhi then looked up at him and asked, "Then do you believe in Buddha?"
Huo Feng, "I do."
Pu Sangzhi responded, "So, it’s better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn’t!"
Huo Feng pinched her shoulder, "I hear you."
Pu Sangzhi, puzzled, "Hear what?"
Huo Feng solemnly said, "I hear you pushing me to buy a house and arrange feng shui for it."
Pu Sangzhi, "That’s not it..."
Huo Feng nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to earn money for a house!"
Pu Sangzhi was a bit amused, "That’s not what I meant."
Huo Feng continued, "Let me tell you, you’ll never know how much money my dad can shell out for buying me a house until I push him a bit."
This time, Pu Sangzhi genuinely laughed!
But after her laughter, she slapped Huo Feng on the shoulder and said, "Don’t pressure your dad! Earn it yourself!"
Huo Feng, "..."
This time, Huo Feng felt a great deal of pressure!
...
After the Wilderness Association event ended and students returned to campus, lively academics and club activities began to dominate their time.
University courses were relatively relaxed and casual, with a mix of required and elective courses. As long as students completed enough credits and passed the exams each semester, they were fine.
Regarding exams, the most formal ones took place in the last two weeks before the end of the semester.
Those two weeks were known as exam weeks. Basically, all courses taken during the semester had to be completed within those weeks.
There might be a few tests during the midterms, but these didn’t weigh much in comparison to the final semester credits.
Whether one would fail a course at the end of the semester largely depended on the final grades and regular performance.
Thus, after entering university, besides studying, enriching extracurricular life was a pretty popular pursuit among the students.
Students at Tsinghua always had their own set of self-discipline methods for studying.
Therefore, disciplined people were always able to organize very regimented schedules.
Without Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng, after joining several clubs, also started setting up his daily schedule.
He scheduled time for sports, review sessions, club activities, and, of course, essential dating times!
It could be said that he was quite enriched!
During regular dates, Pu Sangzhi still loved to go to the library, and Huo Feng would accompany her...
At the library, he often encountered Professor Liang as well.
This was a good situation, as Huo Feng would often ask Professor Liang privately about coding issues.
He was also self-learning C++ and Java, which Professor Liang didn’t regard highly as they were quite basic and already known by any programmer, not something that researchers like him cared much about.
But still, he taught Huo Feng a lot.
Eventually, after half a month of self-study, Huo Feng successfully created a virus that silently hacked Professor Liang’s computer!
Indeed...
As a hacker, one must study with a purpose.
Huo Feng’s goal had always been simple, which was to challenge Lun Liang’s limits!
That afternoon, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were sitting in a corner of the library.
Pu Sangzhi was reading a book next to him while Huo Feng fiddled with his laptop. Suddenly, he exclaimed in a low voice, "yes!"
Pu Sangzhi turned her head upon hearing him and stared at his laptop screen, "What are you doing?"
Huo Feng deliberately turned his head, looked into the distance, and saw Lun Liang, who was also typing on his computer with his back to him.
Now, all of Lun Liang’s operations were reflected on Huo Feng’s computer.
Huo Feng could see Lun Liang’s operating interface and could also manipulate Lun Liang’s computer interface. He smirked, turned back to Pu Sangzhi and said, "Take a look at Lun Liang’s computer screen."
Pu Sangzhi also turned back and looked at Lun Liang’s computer screen in the distance.
She saw it!
"His computer..."
"Is being monitored by me."
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows at her and patted his chest, "Lun Liang’s computer has multiple firewalls and even has passwords, making it very difficult to infiltrate! I switched several algorithms, and finally, I managed to hack it. It’s all self-taught, impressive right?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded silently, amazed, "Impressive..."
Lately, in the library, she had indeed often seen Huo Feng coding, which really gave off a programmer vibe.
After being in different departments, her major was vastly different from Huo Feng’s, so she couldn’t really manage his studies.
However, what comforted Pu Sangzhi was that even without her supervision, Huo Feng was still studying quite hard.
She was really quite impressed!
"My laptop’s specs are too low, not compatible with more complex program settings, and it’s so easy for Lun Liang to counter-monitor."
Huo Feng tapped his fingers on the desk, "I need to buy a high-spec one, and set up a server as well. I’ll ask my dad for some money..."
As he said this, he picked up his phone and quickly sent Huo Mingshan a text message.
Pu Sangzhi asked him, "How much do you need?"
Huo Feng replied, "Start with twenty thousand for now, high-end stuff is expensive."
Pu Sangzhi was shocked, "That’s so expensive."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "I’m a genius, so I need to use good equipment."
Pu Sangzhi was astonished, "Why are you suddenly so focused on studying..."
Huo Feng furrowed his brow, "To make money. I need to learn some skills to earn extra cash, to buy a house and marry you!"
With that statement...
Pu Sangzhi remembered that he had started coding like crazy ever since they returned from Ling Mountain.
She had thought he was focusing on his studies, but he was actually trying to make money?
"I was just saying, don’t put too much pressure on yourself..." Pu Sangzhi said.
"Pressure is motivation."
Huo Feng said, "I plan to go to Hangzhou next month to find Yan Ji and start a studio with him, to take on some projects during our spare time. Yan Ji said he’s in a relationship now and is running short on money. I need to buy a house, and am also short of cash. And you won’t let me pressure my dad."
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Hey..."
She thought he was joking...
Could he really be planning to pressure Professor Huo into buying a house?
Pu Sangzhi stared at him, "Huo Feng, are you serious?"
"Serious!"
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows proudly, "I’m telling you, I didn’t start learning programming just this past half a month. I studied proper operations for two months during the summer. What I’ve been learning these past half a month are illicit operations, creating cheat devices and viruses. Next month, I’ll go to Hangzhou to see Yan Ji and test his skills, hoping that me, a Tsinghua big shot, can defeat that little Zhejiang University underling!"
"If you speak about Yan Siyuan like that, be careful not to get hit in the face," Pu Sangzhi warned him.
"What’s there to fear!"
Huo Feng snorted, "It’s not like I haven’t been struck before!" He was used to it!
"So when are you going to Hangzhou next month? I’ll see if I can go together with you," Pu Sangzhi said.
"Want to see Little Green Grass?" Huo Feng asked.
"Yeah, it’s been a while," Pu Sangzhi also said.
By the way, Pu Sangzhi also wanted to go out with him to see the natural scenery...
Ever since that day at Ling Mountain, Huo Feng started thinking of making money, and she started thinking of traveling the world with him.
Often, the decisions of people change in an instant.
