Chapter 786: 769, Brother Feng’s extraordinary hacker talent! (1)
Lun Liang still didn’t realize his computer was being monitored.
In the library, positioned diagonally from Lun Liang, Huo Feng’s screen displayed whatever Lun Liang was doing on his laptop, their backs to each other.
Furthermore, Huo Feng could control Lun Liang’s computer, using the same principle as remote desktop access.
The difference was, Lun Liang had no idea he was being remotely accessed. Moreover, the firewall system he had installed on his computer had failed to detect Huo Feng as a bug!
Huo Feng watched with pride as Lun Liang worked on his PPT on Huo Feng’s screen.
Lun Liang’s PPT content revolved around a future index of artificial intelligence science, inspired by Turing’s theory.
All students in Professor Yao’s class knew that he delved deeply into artificial intelligence research and continuously explored the field. In fact, to further his exploration of artificial intelligence, Professor Yao even founded the Nanjing Turing Artificial Intelligence Research Institute in Nanjing.
So, the PPT that Lun Liang, as Professor Yao’s assistant, was editing could be considered, on some level, a result of ongoing research...
In simpler terms!
It wasn’t content that a student of Huo Feng’s level should be accessing.
Huo Feng watched Lun Liang type away for a while, then delete, seemingly in a state of indecision.
Huo Feng casually sipped his coffee with Pu Sangzhi also paying attention to the screen beside him.
Of course, Huo Feng had a limited understanding of the content, while an outsider like Pu Sangzhi understood even less.
It’s true what they say, different professions might as well be different worlds.
Although she couldn’t understand the file contents, when she occasionally glanced at Huo Feng’s seriously furrowed brows, she could comprehend the deep investigative look on his face.
Pu Sangzhi had been tutoring him since the first year of high school, and in academic matters, his initiative and curiosity were indeed rare.
Before university, she had repeatedly warned him that she wouldn’t be capable of tutoring him anymore and that he had to work hard on his own.
She had thought that he’d been somewhat nonchalant since university began.
But now, it seemed he could also be very serious.
At this moment, the earnest interest and concentration he showed toward learning surprised and impressed Pu Sangzhi!
Later, Pu Sangzhi stopped looking at the screen and didn’t feel like reading either; she just wanted to watch Huo Feng’s focused expression.
This serious side of Huo Feng suddenly reminded her of Brother Ye Xi.
Indeed...
Do all serious people look alike?
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, Huo Feng slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Just giving up like that?"
Huo Feng noticed Lun Liang hit a snag while editing the PPT!
He typed, then deleted... deleted, then typed...
Then, he stopped writing altogether!
What a hasty surrender!
Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi turned to look at the screen, and sure enough, Lun Liang’s PPT interface had disappeared.
In its place was... a gaming interface!
His teacher was playing a game!
And it was the game Minesweeper!
Pu Sangzhi found it astonishing!
"I was really getting into it."
Huo Feng complained, then turned to glance at Lun Liang.
As expected, Lun Liang was stretching his arms high, yawning!
After that, he set the difficulty of the Minesweeper game to the highest and started to play quietly...
"What’s so fun about that, the games aren’t even from the same era, it’s really..."
Huo Feng felt a strong urge to pull Lun Liang into the "League of Legends" trap!
"Did you understand what you just saw?" asked Pu Sangzhi.
"Part of it. It was about quantum field analysis," Huo Feng replied simply, "We’ll learn about it later too, but just at a very basic level. Anyway, they keep researching; artificial intelligence is a bottomless pit, there’s no end to it."
Having said that, Huo Feng also stretched, raised his arms high, turned to Pu Sangzhi with a smile, "I don’t have such lofty aspirations. I have no desire to devote myself to scientific research. Having one scientist in the family is enough! I’ll just mix some tech skills to make money!"
Indeed, the path of scientific research can be seen as promising yet daunting...
Not all research personnel can become scientists, nor can all research succeed.
Listening to Huo Feng’s casual words, Pu Sangzhi felt a twinge of melancholy.
To think that in high school, he had struggled with subjects like language, math, and English.
And now, he could even discuss scientific research...
Her Huo Feng was indeed becoming more excellent, more mature—not just physically—but also in his thoughts.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huo Feng noticed her gaze was somewhat strange.
"I’m wondering, what would Mr. Huo think if he knew you were saying these things?"
Pu Sangzhi rested her chin in one hand, her dark eyes intently fixed on him.
Indeed...
On the day Huo Feng would speak such professional stuff in front of Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo would surely have a look of ’I don’t understand, I don’t want to pick up the conversation,’ or ’Has my son become this amazing?’
Anyway, that’s what Pu Sangzhi, who is not in the same field, thought.
"He definitely wouldn’t understand a thing,"
Huo Feng said offhandedly while scratching the back of his head, "I can’t show off my expertise in front of him, or he’ll feel ashamed and won’t dare to talk loudly to me ever again."
Pu Sangzhi was somewhat surprised, "So you want Mr. Huo to talk loudly to you?"
Huo Feng flashed his white teeth with a smile, "Of course. We’ve always been like that. If one day he starts listening to me obediently, I would actually think he’s gotten old."
At this point in the conversation...
Pu Sangzhi slowly began to understand what Huo Feng meant.
Back in high school, he had desperately wanted Mr. Huo to look up to him and bow down to him.
But when he really started to shine brightly, from the bottom of his heart, he began to respect Mr. Huo and preferred Mr. Huo to continue being overbearing.
He really had matured...
She hadn’t even realized when her little boy had grown up to this extent?
"Wait, I’m going to harass Lun Liang a bit!"
Suddenly, sparked by a thought, Huo Feng reached for the mouse.
As Lun Liang was focused on the highest difficulty of Minesweeper, Huo Feng took control of his computer, moving the cursor over a mine, circling around it!
Just then...
Lun Liang sensed something odd with the mouse!
Lun Liang, over there, pushed up his glasses, initially thinking the mouse was malfunctioning, and turned the mouse around...
Suddenly, the cursor clicked on a mine, setting off an explosion across the board, Minesweeper game over!
"What?" Lun Liang raised his eyebrows.
Just as Huo Feng was about to take delight in Lun Liang’s misfortune, Lun Liang turned his head in a second, his gaze shooting straight towards Huo Feng!
Then, Lun Liang left his laptop aside and walked straight towards Huo Feng with furrowed brows...
"Hey, Lun Liang!"
Huo Feng didn’t hide his actions, turning his head and extending his palm towards Lun Liang.
Lun Liang wasn’t in the mood to high-five him but rather glanced at Huo Feng’s computer screen and indeed saw the remote monitoring system!
"You’ve got some nerve, Huo Feng!"
Lun Liang couldn’t hide his annoyance, slapping Huo Feng on the shoulder, "I teach you programming, and this is how you repay me?"
Huo Feng didn’t respond to his question, only saying, "I broke through the firewall of your custom system, hey, and your password too. Impressive, right? Am I worthy now?"
You’ve got to say!
In just half a month of self-study, Huo Feng had hacked his computer, indeed showing some hacker skills.
"How did you do it?"
Lun Liang, no longer concerned about the rest, just wanted to know how Huo Feng had breached his firewall.
His firewall was airtight, and even every file on his system’s main disk had a protection code. How had he done it?
"Virus," said Huo Feng.
"How did you install it? What virus? I haven’t downloaded anything." Lun Liang said.
Even if it were a virus, Lun Liang had never downloaded anything he shouldn’t have, nor had he visited any unsuitable websites.
So where did he start to plant the virus?
Then, Huo Feng cocked an eyebrow at Lun Liang, "Hey, don’t you ever use the bathroom?"
Lun Liang: "..."
That little brat!
To think he went straight for his computer while he was using the bathroom!
Angered, Lun Liang patted Huo Feng’s head and said, "Sneaky kid, you’re still too green!"
Lun Liang didn’t scold Huo Feng but left with that comment and turned to go back.
Of course, once back at his seat, he was certain to reprogram the virus Huo Feng had installed on his computer and return the favor with a surprise.
As he searched, he started to second-guess.
He had to admit, Huo Feng did have a real talent for computing.
After the virus was installed on his computer, not a single firewall detected it, and the antivirus software couldn’t find it.
He really had to spend some time manually inspecting and dealing with it!
Meanwhile, Sangzhi, having witnessed Lun Liang’s leniency towards Huo Feng, couldn’t help but sigh, "Are all of your teachers this easy-going? They don’t blame you at all?"
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "Like I said, he likes me."
At this, Sangzhi also felt that the teacher really did like Huo Feng.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for Lun Liang’s special fondness for Huo Feng, Huo Feng wouldn’t have even been able to get into Tsinghua!
"I’ll spar with Lun Liang a few more rounds and then go find Yan Ji next month."
Huo Feng nodded, "I need to be fully prepared to have a chance against a freak like Yan Ji!"
Sangzhi: "..."
So, he’s still working so hard because he’s competing with Yan Siyuan?
