The Cybersecurity Competition of university students from all over the world had teams divided by countries.

Chu Luo’s team was called the “Empire Team.”

The difference between this kind of Cybersecurity Competition and hacking attacks was that everyone knew the other party’s domain name. Defeating the other party blatantly and sticking one’s team’s flag on all the other participants’ computers would be considered a win.

The competition would start at ten in the morning and would last until three in the afternoon on the third day.

Chu Luo and the others gathered around seven to go online and greet all the “Empire players.”

“When the time comes, we’ll split into three shifts. We can’t let down our guard for a second for the next three days.”

When Chu Luo and the others gathered in front of the technology building, a large group of computer science students was already gathered there.

When everyone saw Chu Luo appear, they were so shocked that they fell silent for a while.

Then, everyone became excited.

“Could Chu Luo also be participating in this global Cybersecurity Competition among university students?”

“Are her standards good enough? Although she was internally recruited as a student by Professor Wu, I don’t believe that she’s really good enough to participate in such a high-tech Cybersecurity Competition.”

“Exactly. This is a Cybersecurity Competition participated in by top computer science students worldwide. Everyone in the Empire Alliance has a computer. If she can’t defend her computer and is attacked by others, the other computers will be finished.”

“What are you worried about? Maybe Chu Luo just followed them in to watch. After all, she has such a good relationship with the Four Swordsmen. Isn’t it normal for her to go in and cheer for them?”

“That’s true.”

As everyone spoke, someone said, “Did you see the advertisement for ‘Battle of Lightyears’ today?”

“I’ve seen it. Who exactly is that Phoenix Skies Corporation? Not only did they broadcast advertisements in the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ game that never showed any advertisements, but they even hired all the members of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ to advertise.”

“It’s a pity that Bai Ling still hasn’t taken off her mask. However, the close-up shots of her hand and chin were simply too perfect. I don’t think I have a hand fetish, but I’ve fallen in love with her hand now.”

“Me too, especially her chin. It’s so fair and tender that you can even see the tiny hairs on it. I wonder if water can be pinched out of that skin!”

“There are also the Four Swordsmen. To be honest, when I saw them recently, I felt that they looked a little different. I finally know why after this advertisement. Their skin has become very good.”

“Do you think the Four Swordsmen and Bai Ling shot the advertisement in the same place? After the Four Swordsmen returned, so many people in the school followed them, but nobody saw them interact with any special girl.”

“Why not? Isn’t Chu Luo special enough?”

“Do you think Chu Luo is Bai Ling?”

“F*ck! How is that possible? No matter how powerful Chu Luo is, how can she have such an awesome gameplay?”

“That’s right. One look and I can tell that she doesn’t know how to play games!”

Everyone refuted this idea. No one believed it at all.

…

Chu Luo and the others had no idea what was being discussed outside.

After entering the technology building and arriving at the computer room, they saw that the other participants were already in position.

Seeing that Chu Luo had entered, they were a little surprised.

A boy with pimples on his face asked in surprise, “You’re Feng Ling?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

The boy had a strange expression and only asked, “Junior, do you know how how to play in Cybersecurity Competitions?”

The other three people’s expressions were a little strange, but Chu Luo was beautiful, so they couldn’t say anything excessive.

Tang Zhiyun glanced at them and wasn’t in a hurry to say anything. He introduced them to Chu Luo. “This is Hu Yong. His IP name is Brave Warrior. This is Wang Luming. His IP name is Dawn and Twilight. This is Zeng Xiaoqiang. His IP name is Powerful Spear. This is Zhou Xingyu. His IP name is Victory in the Universe.”

After the introductions, they went over and sat down.

After everyone had sat in their seats, they first assigned missions. Then, everyone connected to the Imperial University network.

Tang Zhiyun said, “There are a total of 36 people from the Empire Team who are participating in the competition this time. Everyone, find your own chance to greet them later. Then, we will split into three groups. Each group will be online for eight hours, which is exactly one day. Of course, if you can handle it, you can go online continuously for the next three days.”

Chu Luo asked, “What if we encounter a rather troublesome problem that can’t be resolved by a group of people?”

“We’ve considered that too,” Hu Yong replied. “It’s best if everyone doesn’t leave the school for the next few days. Your phones are on standby 24 hours a day. If you encounter any especially big problems, hurry over immediately.”

Xie Minghai continued, “Or find a computer nearby and connect to the Empire Team via other high-end computers.”

Chu Luo asked again, “It’s easy to be attacked like this, right?”

Tang Zhiyun said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Junior. These past few days before the competition, all the students in the Computer Science Department who own high-end computers have restored their computers to the factory setting. There is no software in them that makes them prone to attacks. They are on standby for us to use as a backup.”

Chu Luo didn’t expect everyone to do that, so she nodded.

This kind of international university student competition was also highly valued by the school.

At around eight o’clock, the dean of the Computer Science Department and a few other school heads personally came to cheer them on.

After the school heads left, the members of the Empire Team greeted everyone in their own way.

Then, they started discussing how to split up into groups.

Tang Zhiyun said, “There are ten of us. I, Junior, and Hu Yong will be in one group. Minghai, Old Yu, and Zeng Xiaoming will be in the same group, and the remaining four will be in the same group.”

“This grouping won’t do,” Zhou Xingyu said. “Old Tang, you guys can form a group of four. Our group doesn’t need four people.”

Tang Zhiyun said, “No need. The three of us are enough.”

Zeng Xiaoming wanted to say something, but Wang Luming put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Zeng Xiaoming, what are you worried about? In any case, we plan to stay here for the next few days, not counting eating and going to the toilet. We’ll even be guarding this place when we sleep. If anything happens, we can just deal with it directly.”

Zeng Xiaoming felt he made sense and didn’t say anything else.

At ten o’clock sharp, the International University Cybersecurity Competition officially began.

A large screen was hung on one wall of the computer room.

Tang Zhiyun gestured for Chu Luo to look at it. “Junior, those lit-up spots are all the participating countries.”

The large screen displayed the entire map of Earth. At this moment, many countries had already lit up.

“When a team is taken over, the points of a country will disappear.”

After Tang Zhiyun finished speaking, everyone started to move on the keyboard.

All the computers were showing programs that ordinary people couldn’t understand.

An hour later, a powerful protective net was built throughout the entire empire.

In the afternoon, someone started attacking the Empire Team.

The empire’s strength was indeed not to be underestimated. Within a few battles, they eliminated the red dots of three countries in a single afternoon.

At five in the afternoon, Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo, “Junior, if you are tired, take a rest first.”

Xie Minghai chimed in, “Why don’t you go to the school cafeteria to eat? You can rest your brain.”

Chu Luo glanced at the computer screen in front of her and nodded after thinking for a while.

She had something to do too, so she should take a rest.

When Chu Luo stood up, she even said to them, “I’ll order takeout for you guys later.”

“Okay,” the boys replied in unison.

Chu Luo left after saying that.

She walked out and saw Wu Yiyao sitting there.

When Wu Yiyao saw Chu Luo, she stood up and walked over. “Little Chu, what do you need?”

“I’ll go eat first. I’ll order takeout for the seniors.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Mm.”

The two of them walked out of the technology building.

Wu Yiyao didn’t go in to disturb them, but she went in in the afternoon to deliver food and drinks to them.

Chu Luo said, “Sister Wu, you don’t have to keep guarding us outside. There’s a water dispenser in the computer room. We can prepare some food ourselves.”

“I have nothing to do either,” Wu Yiyao said. “Little Chu, as a participant, you probably won’t be able to understand how we feel. Every time we see you attacking and being attacked, we’re even more excited and nervous than you.”

Chu Luo curled her lips.

Wu Yiyao smiled too. “Especially since we know computer science. Look outside.”

Chu Luo followed Wu Yiyao’s instructions and looked outside. Only then did she realize that there were still many people guarding outside.

Everyone had a laptop in their hands.

“They’ve been guarding here?”

“Mm, everyone is using their laptops to watch your competition.”

The two of them walked out as they spoke.

Once they went out, many people looked at Chu Luo.

“Why did Chu Luo come out? Did she retreat halfway?”

“Surely not? Indeed, this kind of competition isn’t suitable for girls. Chu Luo probably can’t withstand such strong pressure.”

…

Hearing everyone’s whispers, Wu Yiyao asked Chu Luo, “Little Chu, why don’t you explain?”

“There’s nothing to explain,” Chu Luo said. “The best explanation is talking with ability. No matter how much I explain now, they might not believe it.”

“That’s true.”

The two of them quickly went to the school restaurant. As it was the National Day period, there weren’t many people on campus. The two of them found a booth and sat down. After ordering what they wanted, along with takeouts, Chu Luo took out her phone.

Not long after, two more people entered the restaurant. It was Wu Siyi and Xiao Ling.

As Xiao Ling walked, she complained, “What exactly does that boy surnamed Wang mean? Didn’t he say that he would send you three meals in the next three days? Why didn’t he bring you food at night?”
