Yifan, who was discussing with Jamie and Bobby at the competition venue and restoring some of the competition scenes, turned her head and saw Liang Qing and Xiaoyan coming from a distance, she quickly said hello to Jamie and some people who came to congratulate her.

"Yifan, you are amazing!"

Xiao Yan couldn't suppress his excitement, and stepped forward to give Yifan a big hug, and Liang Qing also came over to hug his good sister.

"Today I have really seen the true face of your Lushan, and I know what kind of dangerous person you are, for you, as long as there is a place where you can connect to the Internet, there is no secret."

Before Yifan could respond to Liang Qing's words, the host of the competition invited the winning team to come to the stage to receive the award.

"Wait a minute, I'll come when I go."

Yifan turned around and walked towards the stage.

Just when everyone thought the competition was coming to a successful end, a thin middle-aged man wearing a dark red plaid shirt, jeans and flats walked up to the stage and waved to silence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself, I am a partner in the 'Hacker Line' studio, as the name suggests, the purpose of our studio's work and research and development is to prevent the random intrusion and theft of those unscrupulous saboteurs on the Internet, so that our network will be more secure in the future."

As soon as the speaker's voice fell, the crowd gathered in all corners of the hall could not help but exclaim, for those of them that the Hacker Defense studio was a relatively independent studio owned by a very well-known computer software development company, located in Silicon Valley, with a high reputation in the industry, and it was difficult to imagine that they would put down their bodies to participate in such an unofficial semi-underground event.

"Recently, our studio and our parent company have collaborated to develop a new browser, and we have done a lot of internal testing, and the results are quite satisfactory, and we have reason to believe that our new browser will be the most secure and robust browser available."

"Although we have enough confidence in our products, but after all, we have not been tested in reality, and we have received an invitation from the organizer to come here this time, but we don't want to participate in this kind of slightly simple competitive competition, especially the preliminaries on the first day, you must know that there are many topics in that kind of competition that are temporarily arranged, and there are many loopholes in itself, but watching today's finals made us change our minds."

"After ad-hoc discussions with the organizers, it is indeed a rare opportunity today, and we would like to add an additional play-off, inviting all members of the four teams participating in the finals today to simulate attacks on the browser we developed and the security protection plug-ins bundled with it, our purpose is to find out our vulnerabilities so that we can provide our customers with more complete and secure services in the future."

"For each contestant who successfully cracks our browser, we will provide a reward of up to $5,000 based on his attack speed, and for the contestant who can provide the vulnerability discovery and breach process, we will provide additional rewards in addition to the additional reward and will also receive an offer from our company, and now I sincerely invite all contestants to join this temporary additional play-off, although we offer a generous reward, but I am not optimistic that you will have the opportunity to take it, This stems from my absolute confidence in our products. ”

After the introduction of this slightly abrupt partner, it caused a lot of commotion on and off the stage, and it is said that there are similar competitions every year, some of which are even gambling in nature to attack some portals and some government agencies, often these underground competitions are mostly out of some people's adventures and the purpose of showing off their skills, but they have caused a very bad impact, and some of the games and the targets of the attacks have even aroused the alarm of the federal security department.

And it is the first time that a regular, even well-known company like today has come out with its own product to encourage everyone to attack, which is enough to show that they have enough confidence in their products, and for these graduate students who have not yet stepped out of the school but have a very high level of competition, compared to the bonus, the offer given by this famous Internet company is more tempting, because it is the company that many young students yearn for the most.

Seeing the increasingly enthusiastic emotions in the audience and the envious and eager eyes of many people, the partner then directly extended invitations to the three champion players who remained on the stage.

"I was amazed by your performance today, and that's why I made up my mind today to test this newly developed product for an attack, and I hope you will accept the invitation to participate in today's temporary additional competition."

As soon as the partner's words fell, Jamie nodded preemptively and agreed, "We are glad to accept your invitation to participate in this test." ”

In Jamie's view, no matter whether this challenge can be successful or not, it will definitely become a stepping stone and a golden sign for them to go to society and promote themselves in the future.

As if he felt that his hurried statement ignored the feelings of his teammates, Jamie turned to his two teammates, Yifan and Bobby, and asked slightly embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't think you guys will refuse this test competition, right?" ”

Bobby still looked very shy, but nodded frequently, which was in response to Jamie's statement, while Yifan didn't say much, and there was not much excitement on her calm face.

"I noticed that there was a beautiful female member of today's championship team, especially because she had a brilliant brain hidden under her beautiful appearance."

Looking at Yifan's noncommittal expression, the partner obviously wanted to liven up the atmosphere of the scene again, and then asked Yifan:

"Come, let me guess, what country are you from? Japan? Singapore or South Korea? ”

After Yifan, who was still smiling, heard the partner's question, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Jamie, who was standing next to her, felt the sharp change in Yifan's expression, not only him, but also Liang Qing and Xiaoyan who were standing in the audience.

"Uh......, Yifan is from ......" Jamie obviously wanted to alleviate the embarrassment in front of him, and wanted to preemptively relieve the questioner.

"I'm from China!"

Before Jamie could finish speaking, Yifan stopped him and replied a little stiffly to the partner in front of him.

Her words were relayed through the microphone to all corners of the synagogue.

But the partner apparently didn't notice the change in expression and tone, and academic-focused researchers like them rarely cared about ordinary people, and although they didn't do it on purpose, sometimes they said things that were really difficult for others to accept, especially for foreign students and immigrants who were often discriminated against.

"Oh! Then you must be Chinese-American, you must know that young people who have not received this kind of open education in the United States since childhood, it is generally difficult to have such a smart mind and innovative thinking, you let us ......"

Before the partner could finish speaking, Yifan interrupted his tirade again.

"I'm sorry sir, I don't think you understand, I'm from China, I received more than ten years of basic education there, I'm the same as every student here, I was admitted here through my own unremitting efforts, through layers of selection and assessment, before I didn't know what special advantages Mi's education had."

The partner, who was choked by Yifan for a few words, may also feel that what he just said was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly explained:

"I'm sorry! I don't mean to offend, please believe me, to say from the bottom of my heart, I admire your ancient nation, and I am really surprised to see your outstanding performance today, because in my impression, you still seem to be a blind spot in the development and application of computer technology. ”

Seeing that Yifan was about to speak again, Jamie hurriedly grabbed the conversation: "It's a blind spot now, it may not be possible in the future, with my understanding of Fan, they are really talented." ”

The host on the side also hurriedly cleared the siege: "Okay guys, this kind of discussion about the future is not our topic today, because we can't predict what will happen tomorrow, these questions are left to those idlers and politicians to discuss, the venue is ready, please come with me for all the contestants who are interested in participating in the competition, and the other participants please stay in this small hall to watch and help, thank you." ”

The competition was set to 30 minutes, and the partner was still on stage to introduce the product they had developed together, while live footage from another field was transferred to various projection screens and monitors of various sizes in the auditorium through different camera positions.

It was said that it was a 30-minute time limit, but in less than 20 minutes, most of the team members who went to challenge walked out dejectedly, and this newly developed and absolutely leading new browser made these people feel like they had nowhere to start.

At this time, all the people here have not yet realized that they are facing a huge change and leap in the Internet era, and the ordinary competition that took place here on this day has almost given birth to a new generation of Internet technology elites.

Looking at the challengers who kept coming out of that competition venue, the self-confidence of the partner in the auditorium, who is also a developer, is also getting more and more inflated, and it is no wonder that this is the result of nearly a year of development in their studio, and after extremely rigorous internal testing, he is absolutely confident in this new browser, and this partner is the only person here who can foresee what kind of impact this product will bring to the world so far.

But it doesn't include Yifan who walked out of here after ten minutes.
