The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

If there are still a few junior contestants among the students who get the qualification to register for the college security competition every year, then those who can pass the preliminary round and enter the semi-finals are really rare.

Obviously, Ji Cheng is that rare one.

After seeing the list of semi-finalists, Lu Simiao's expression was visibly ugly.

Originally, he could still comfort himself: network security is a relatively unpopular field in China. Even if Lin Jicheng has some ability in this area, it may only be limited to "some ability".

Moreover, Lin Jicheng may be able to get the qualification to register only because he has studied the routines of previous years. After all, this is just a threshold competition, and there will not be too many tricks in the obstacle setting. Lin Jicheng's performance is not bad, and it is not impossible to use most of the three-day cracking time to guess the answer.

But now he has even passed the preliminary round-according to gossip, Lin Jicheng passed with a considerable ranking. Now Lu Simiao can't cheat himself even if he wants to.

After this incident, the gossip in the school forum became more and more intense. Not only that, Lu Simiao received strange looks from others several times in real life. He has been the center of attention since he was a child. How could he tolerate such treatment? Not to mention that Lin Jicheng has been in the spotlight!

The webpage he opened showed the schedule of the next game of the college safety competition. Lu Simiao's face was also quite gloomy: Lin Jicheng can't be so proud anymore.

Absolutely!

Now going to Professor Ju's class has almost become Ji Cheng's regular entertainment every week - he has outstanding grades and outstanding looks. Just sitting there can receive all kinds of admiring looks, and there is also Lu Simiao next to him whose face turns green when she sees him. It's particularly interesting to think about it.

And today is similar to the past. Professor Ju is giving a lecture, and Ji Cheng is sitting in the classroom, a distance away from Lu Simiao. But this was not because he suddenly had a change of heart, but because Lu Simiao had called enough people to surround him in front, behind, and on both sides of the class recently, and that posture seemed to be determined to guard him to the end.

Ji Cheng was too lazy to squeeze in, he just found a seat in the corner, turned on the computer, and started typing.

Then he felt a ball of paper rolling to his feet.

Ji Cheng paused, he bent down to pick up the ball of paper, unfolded it and took a look, then raised his head with interest.

He swept his eyes across the classroom: everyone seemed to be listening to the class, even Lu Simiao was sitting upright in the front row against the wall, and next to Lu Simiao was his big protector - the one who handed Lu Simiao the answer cheat sheet on the first day.

During this period of time, Ji Cheng also heard about this "big protector": the other party's name was Shen Yu, he had a good family background and studied hard, and he was honest compared to Lu Simiao, but he didn't know what was wrong with his brain that he kept following Lu Simiao.

But the other party has good grades and is very serious in class, so as long as he sits next to Lu Simiao and helps pass the cheat sheet, Ji Cheng's "enthusiastic help" of raising his hand to answer the questions will not work.

Therefore, since Ji Cheng came to punch in the freshman class, Shen Yu's status in Lu Simiao's circle of followers has risen sharply, and recently he has been almost inseparable from Meng Meng.

Ji Cheng's eyes turned around the classroom again, he silently raised the corners of his lips, and stuffed the crumpled paper ball into his bag.

The bell rang, Ji Cheng slowly closed the computer, and Lu Simiao in the front row had quickly packed up his things and left with his friends.

His steps were happy, as if he was about to reach the peak of his life.

Ji Cheng's lips curled up again, and he walked out of the classroom slowly with his computer bag on his back.

While Ji Cheng was still punching in at a fixed time in Professor Ju's class in his freshman year.

At this time, the sophomores had already finished their classes. Zhao Jingchen had found a part-time job before and left in a hurry after class. Ji Cheng was in Professor Ju's class, so Qiu Mingshu was the only one in the dormitory now.

The professor assigned a few more questions in class today. Qiu Mingshu was flipping through the textbooks for research, when someone suddenly knocked on the dormitory door.

The person outside asked, "Is anyone there?"

Qiu Mingshu said, "Come in."

The person outside pushed the door open, and Qiu Mingshu recognized that the man was Xiang Yang, also a sophomore in their college. However, they were not very familiar with each other, so it was a bit strange that he suddenly came to the door.

Xiang Yang walked in and looked inside their dormitory: "Is Lin Jicheng here?"

Qiu Mingshu was a little surprised: "Old Lin is not here, what's wrong?"

Xiang Yang smiled at him: "It's good that he's not here, it's good that he's not here."

He pulled a chair over and sat down: "Qiu Mingshu, in fact, you have good grades in our college."

Qiu Mingshu frowned, not understanding why the other party suddenly said this.

Xiangyang asked again: "Lin Jicheng is always in the spotlight, are you willing to do that?"

Qiu Mingshu: "What do you mean?"

Xiangyang smiled and said: "I'm telling the truth."

"You see, you're not bad, but when Lin Jicheng is there, you'll never be seen by others."

"There are three people in your dormitory, do you think you have a say?"

Qiu Mingshu showed an angry expression on his face: "Then what's the point of you trying to sow discord here?"

Xiangyang said proudly: "You haven't driven me away yet, doesn't it prove that what I said hit you?"

He pointed to Qiu Ming's textbook on the table: "Isn't Lin Jicheng capable of participating in the college safety competition? Why doesn't he help you?"

Qiu Mingshu stood up angrily: "What does it have to do with you? You are not welcome here!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Xiang Yang said continuously, "I was asked to come to you for help today. I can not only teach Lin Jicheng a lesson, but also make a fortune."

He pointed out a number.

"How about it? Are you interested?"

Qiu Mingshu showed a struggling and hesitant look on his face.

After a moment, he clenched his fists and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

A "Sure enough" expression appeared on Xiangyang's face, and he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket: "What you have to do is very simple."

"Isn't the rematch of the college safety competition going to be held this weekend?" He handed the USB flash drive into Qiu Mingshu's hand, "You only need to plug this USB flash drive into Lin Jicheng's computer a day or two in advance, and you don't need to do the rest. You worry."

The content of each stage of the college safety competition is different. The preliminary competition is in the form of problem solving and is held on the Saturday of the week when the entry list is released.

The competition team gave three questions in different directions of network security, with a time limit of five hours to solve the problems. The top 20 teams were ranked based on the number of problems solved and time, and the top 20 entered the semi-finals.

Compared with the preliminary round, the semi-finals introduce more practical elements: the twenty players who enter the semi-finals will be randomly divided into ten battle groups. Each player will be assigned a virtual host, and the players will compete with the opponents they have drawn. In a one-on-one offensive and defensive duel, the first to break through the opponent's defense is the winner and enters the finals.

In layman’s terms, this is actually a bit like a tower defense game——

Players have their own "positions". They can freely build "defenses" on their own positions, but at the same time they have to attack their opponents' positions. Whoever breaks through the opponent's core first and gains control will win.

However, because personal abilities are inevitably limited, the Academy Security Competition will give players a day in advance to prepare for defense, and they can just attack directly when the game officially starts.

The list of duels for the rematch is public on the official website of the competition——

From this point of view, it is not difficult to guess what this USB flash drive is used for.

Qiu Mingshu was a little shocked: "Are you going to——"

Xiang Yang quickly made a move to lower his voice, and then nodded: "Actually, with Lin Jicheng's level, he might not be able to enter the finals, but just in case!"

Qiu Mingshu: "But that was the college safety competition!"

Xiang Yang said nonchalantly: "Isn't this just right? It won't affect his usual grades."

"Isn't Lin Jicheng very arrogant recently because he passed the rematch? Then let him suffer some losses!" He said in a seductive tone, "You and he are roommates, it shouldn't be difficult to find an opportunity to insert the USB flash drive into his computer, right? ?”

"And he doesn't suspect you at all. Since it's a simple task and you can have fun once, why not do it?"

Qiu Mingshu hesitated for a long time, and finally put the USB flash drive into his pocket: "...Okay."

He looked at Xiang Yang again: "Did Lu Simiao ask you to come?"

After getting the result he wanted, Xiang Yang relaxed a lot. He smiled and said, "Otherwise, who else can afford this money?"

He sneered: "If you ask me, Lin Jicheng is stupid. He knows the Lu family's financial resources and still dares to provoke. So what about a quota in a training camp? Just send it out obediently? If he can please Lu Simiao, he You’ll only get more!”

"You are much wiser than him on this point," Xiang Yang patted Qiu Mingshu on the shoulder, "As long as you do everything well, we will definitely not treat you badly!"

Qiu Mingshu nodded silently.

"Okay, it's getting late," Xiangyang looked at his phone and stood up, "The freshman class has ended. I guess Lin Jicheng will be back soon, so I'll leave first."

He walked towards the door, but did not forget to turn around and tell Qiu Mingshu again: "Remember to get the matter done as soon as possible. Contact me when it is done. You are indispensable!"

Qiu Mingshu hummed and watched Xiang Yang leave. He thought for a while, took out his mobile phone from the drawer and sent a message.

Not long after, another person wandered in at the door of the dormitory.

At this time, Qiu Mingshu had already looked through the teaching materials again. He heard the footsteps, turned his head and looked over. After confirming the identity of the person, he nodded slightly towards the person, then took out the USB flash drive from his pocket and put it on the on the table.

Jicheng lazily walked in with his bag on his back. He held his mobile phone and asked with a smile: "Is everything done?"
