250 A Secret Conversation
The second round of the competition wouldn’t happen until the afternoon. The spare time in the morning was for the students to discuss the previous problem.
Qiao Yue didn’t have anything to discuss. She sat in the computer lab with nothing to do and watched the others discuss.
“Qiao Yue, I was so close. I was just about to submit my solution when he submitted his. And then my spot was gone.”
Xu Hao complained non-stop as if Oswald didn’t just take his spot but his Olympic gold medal.
“Even without this person, you wouldn’t have made it. Brother, wake up.” Qiao Yue said as he patted Xu Hao’s shoulder.
Xu Hao’s face fell, and he looked resentful.
Opposite Qiao Yue, Oswald looked at her with an unhappy expression.
Qiao Yue didn’t care about the look that Oswald was giving her and comforted Xu Hao.
Oswald walked over to Qiao Yue and knocked on her table. “I know what you’ve done. Is this how you people from Harvey treat others?”
“What did I do?” Qiao Yue smiled.
“The message you sent me contained a virus. Qiao Yue, did you need to play dirty in a hackathon?”
When Xu Hao heard Oswald’s words, he was so shocked that his mouth could fit an egg.
What message? What virus? When did his brother become someone who could implant a virus when sending a message?
“I’m just using the same method you used to send me a message to send you a message.”
Of course, Oswald wouldn’t just send a casual message to Qiao Yue. The message he sent also contained a virus, which could wipe out Qiao Yue’s code.
If not properly handled, all the codes that Qiao Yue had written would become invalid.
Qiao Yue looked at Oswald and smiled. “Giving someone a taste of their own medicine. That’s how I treat my guests.”
Annoyed by Qiao Yue, Oswald wrapped his robe around himself and left the lab.
Xu Hao quickly came near and asked, “Why did Oswald play dirty?”
Qiao Yue shook her head. “His problem-solving skills are very impressive. If I didn’t interfere just now, he might have been the first one to solve the problem.”
“But you’re pretty good too. Since when did you become such a good hacker? When can you teach me?” Xu Hao nudged Qiao Yue with his elbow.
Qiao Yue laughed and typed out a program for Xu Hao to study.
It was a set of basic code. By using this set of transformation code, he could have quickly solved the problem just now.
If Xu Hao could understand it, he would make great progress in this area.
Qiao Yue looked at Xu Hao, who was studying the solution, and decided to go out for a walk. The computer lab was stuffy in winter, so she felt that a walk would do her good.
She walked to the rooftop of the teaching building where the computer lab was located. The winter wind cleared her mind a little.
She had just replayed Oswald’s actions on her computer. His coding style looked very familiar. His cracking method was very similar to another person’s.
This person was no other than herself.
Usually, when she cracked a virus, she would look at it from a macro perspective and solve the most difficult part first before cracking the other parts.
This was the way of thinking that the Godfather had taught her. Some of Oswald’s detailed code were also very similar in style to hers.
Oswald’s identity, in relation to the Godfather, had become a mystery.
“That Qiao Yue is very capable. You’d better not let your guard down.”
A girl’s voice suddenly rang out from the edge of the rooftop.
“She’s just a good dog raised by the Godfather. I’m not afraid of her.” It was Oswald’s voice.
Qiao Yue hid in a corner of the rooftop so as not to be discovered by them.
“How do you know that she’s not capable? Don’t forget that you were also taught by the Godfather.”
The girl’s voice was clearly anxious. “Oswald, you didn’t come to St. Faustina’s to play house with them. You haven’t completed your main mission yet, and you’re not here to deal with Qiao Yue. Can you be more serious?”
Mission?
Qiao Yue frowned. Not only was Oswald connected to the Godfather, but he also seemed to have some ulterior motives for coming to C-Country.
“Anyway, Andy has to stay here for another month. It’s not too much for me to take a break now, right? Besides, Qiao Yue is quite interesting.”
