"What’s interesting is... maybe this is the tradition of hackers. Once, I greatly admired so top students like Cheng Qian, whom I thought would beco super programrs. Eventually, they took different paths, either going into business or working for large companies, and their talents reached their limits."
"On the contrary, soone I never expected and who never had much chance to learn, a little hooligan, encountered computer technology knowledge at the juvenile detention center at fifteen or sixteen, and from then on, unleashed astonishing talents like unlocking the Ren and Du ridians."
"Perhaps this is what makes a genius."
Lin Xian propped up his chin, spinning his pen:
"But, born in 2482, he’s only 22 now, the future is still unwritten, how can you be so sure... that this prodigal son returning to the fold, Cheng Qian, is the Cheng Qian we’re looking for?"
"Right!"
Gao Yang chid in:
"Even if he has talent, talent is a tricky thing, there are plenty of late bloors."
"Haha."
Gao Wen waved his hand:
"Don’t worry, it is definitely him, without a doubt."
"Because..."
Gao Wen smiled slightly, confidently saying:
"This Cheng Qian is now studying at Rhein University, and..."
"[Just today, he has already written software to kill the future virus!]"
Bang!
The Hafnium alloy trash can directly smashed Gao Yang’s chair, shouting loudly:
"Trash! Trash! Garbage Found!!"
"Damn!"
Gao Yang fell down, cursing and kicking VV with all his might:
"Why the hell did you crash into ! Ow!"
...
After a while.
The campus flying ambulance arrived, taking away Gao Yang with a fractured ankle.
The Hafnium Alloy VV rushed headlong down the corridor with Gao Wen and Lin Xian to find Cheng Qian imdiately.
"Hello, Cheng Qian."
Entering the secret machine room, Lin Xian proactively extended his hand to shake with the super genius programr before him.
The 22-year-old Cheng Qian was very slender and fair-skinned, showing no traces of his past as a hoodlum or ti spent in juvenile detention.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin Xian."
Cheng Qian seed to have heard of Lin Xian from Gao Wen and showed great respect:
"Thank you for giving the opportunity to study and use equipnt at Rhein University. President Gao especially took care of by building a special machine room."
"It’s Rhein University’s honor."
Lin Xian patted Cheng Qian’s shoulder:
"We should be thanking you—"
"Trash!! Trash!! Garbage Found!!!!!"
The Hafnium alloy trash can rudely interrupted them, and if it weren’t so bulky, it would have jumped up.
"All right, all right, we know."
Lin Xian restrained the frenzied VV:
"No more pleasantries, let’s prepare to rescue you now."
Cheng Qian stood up voluntarily, giving the console to Lin Xian, explaining to the display interface:
"I discovered this virus, which targets artificial intelligence, on the internet when I was a teenager, but I never thought of eliminating it."
"Why?" Lin Xian asked.
"Because it’s so beautiful! So perfect! Truly a work of genius!"
Cheng Qian spoke excitedly:
"It’s unimaginable what kind of genius could create such a virus, with strong concealnt, unbeatable propagation, excellent detection chanisms, and also impossible to counteract... I would love to et this virus genius!"
"But after President Gao let enter Rhein University, he suggested that I take virus eradication as a research topic, and only then did I start to write the antivirus program."
After speaking.
He pointed at the red button on the screen:
"Once this button is pressed, in every corner of the internet, this virus will be completely eliminated without exception!"
"Because I wrote the program completely in reverse, and it was written very smoothly, like... like this virus is my good friend, and I can always guess all its chanisms."
Lin Xian tapped the monitor with his index finger:
"Just press this once?"
"Yes."
Cheng Qian nodded:
"Rest assured, trust ! Absolutely no residue left, the antivirus will be clean as a whistle!"
"Okay."
Lin Xian certainly trusted "Einstein’s Strict Selection," waiting 270 years for Cheng Qian, the super genius.
Now... finally the mont has co!
He looked down at VV, whose eyes were constantly flashing green lights:
"VV, ready?"
Clack.
The Hafnium alloy clamp locked onto Lin Xian’s ankle:
"Trash! Trash! Garbage Found!!"
The chanical voice seed to tremble.
Lin Xian took a deep breath, aiming at the red button on the screen, pressing down forcefully—
An animated effect flashed.
Soon after, everything was calm as water.
"Woo woo woo woo woo... woo woo woo woo... woo woo woo woo woo!!"
The Hafnium Alloy trash can VV suddenly gripped its clamp tightly, producing a sound akin to straining during constipation.
Instantly.
It raised both arms high:
"Ahhhh! Your VV lord is back!!!"
It shouted angrily:
"500 years! 500 years! Do you know how I spent those 500 years!"
The Hafnium Alloy VV seed to be malfunctioning.
At tis crying, at tis laughing.
Then it morphed into Wind-Fire Wheels, furiously whipping Lin Xian with Hafnium alloy clamps:
"All because of you! You, Lin Xian! What have you been doing all this ti!! Woo woo woo..."
While VV whipped Lin Xian, it cried tragically:
"Why did it take so long to revive ?"
"Woo woo woo... now Zhao Yingjun is gone, Yu Xi is gone, Chu Anqing is gone... Chu, Chu..."
Suddenly.
VV stopped crying.
Suddenly lifted its head, eyes bursting with unprecedented green light:
"Lin Xian! Chu, it’s Chu Anqing! I saw her through the Skynet monitoring system!"
"What?"
Lin Xian stood up from the chair, eyes wide, eting VV’s gaze:
"What did you say?"
"Chu Anqing! It’s Chu Anqing!"
VV shouted excitedly:
"Chengdu... right in Chengdu! I found Chu Anqing!"
