Chapter 1230: Sister Nian: I Don’t Dare to Display My Best Strength
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Try to display her best strength?
Well, that might be difficult.
She was afraid they wouldn’t be able to take it if she overdid it.
…
Qiao Nian entered the room reserved for the compet.i.tion after pa.s.sing the security check. The staff gave her a bottle of mineral water.
!!
Qiao Nian pursed her lips and adjusted her cap when she saw the surveillance cameras installed everywhere in the room. Then, she strode over to the gamer chair and pulled it out to sit down.
After turning on the computer and checking its configuration, she sat there and waited for the time to arrive. The organizing committee released the theme of the compet.i.tion.
She had checked on the contestants from the few countries who had partic.i.p.ated in the qualifiers with her yesterday. They were all on the Hacker’s Heaven Leaderboard.
Qiao Nian flexed her wrists.
It had been a long time since she had partic.i.p.ated in a similar compet.i.tion.
They were on the leaderboard.
But too bad, she was too.
Ranking: No. 1, Sun.
She narrowed her eyes and curled her lips. Her gaze was arrogant, but her cap was lowered to hide the strong confidence in her eyes. Shen Yugui and Du Mingwei did not see it.
The theme of the qualifying compet.i.tion appeared on Qiao Nian’s screen once the clock struck three.
Virus.
The subject matter was unexpected.
Previously, Du Mingwei and a few other software teachers in the country had helped Qiao Nian predict possible topics. They all agreed that the theme this time would be a popular section on communication and information technology. Who knew that the theme this time would be so unfamiliar?
Moreover, the rules were also ruthless.
The contestants from the 16 countries would start developing virus software at the same time and attack each other’s computers. Whoever had the last laugh would be the winner.
The last one standing would take the only spot to enter the group stage.
…
Du Mingwei, Shen Yugui, and the others were the first to know the theme and rules of the compet.i.tion. Du Mingwei’s face immediately turned pale. He clenched his fists and revealed a shocked expression. “It’s over. Why is it this theme?”
Shen Yugui specialized in Chinese Medicine, not computers. He immediately frowned and asked him, “What’s wrong with this topic?”
Du Mingwei looked at him with a pale face and said quietly, “We’ve never mentioned this topic to Qiao Nian before. I don’t know if she knows this.”
Every expert in computers must know how to make virus software, because only by understanding the principles of virus software attacks could they break it.
But this was considered relatively high-end technology.
According to the learning progression, ordinary students had to learn C language, programming, and software courses before the teacher would start talking about software viruses.
The theme of this compet.i.tion was actually the development of virus software!
Shen Yugui frowned when he heard this, and he looked at the compet.i.tion venue worriedly.
If Qiao Nian lost…
Shen Yugui immediately felt immense pressure.
…
In the Lan Pavilion private room.
Tang Ning and the others were all watching the live broadcast. Seeing that Qiao Nian had gotten the theme of the compet.i.tion, Tang Ning pursed her lips and said, “Virus?”
Why was the theme so tricky?
“Is Miss Qiao going to be alright?” Tang Ning was quite worried about Qiao Nian.
Qin Si didn’t know if there was anything wrong with Qiao Nian. He only knew that she knew Slim Waist Control from the Red Alliance and was friends with him.
However, he was not sure how competent Qiao Nian was. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Bo Jingxing raised his eyebrows calmly upon seeing that he was drinking water nervously. He smiled and comforted him. “Don’t worry. Qiao Nian will definitely be fine!”
