The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute Chapter 129 - Attacked by a Hacker

Chapter 129: Attacked by a Hacker

Chu Luo slept until nearly noon before getting up.
When she opened the bedroom door, she saw a few boys sitting in front of a computer, engrossed in playing a game.
Coincidentally, Wang Mingtao was facing Chu Luo. When he saw her, he immediately grinned and greeted her, “Sister Chu, you’re awake.”
Chu Luo subconsciously scanned the living room and finally turned her gaze to the bedroom beside hers.
Tang Zhiyun stopped and turned to her. “Junior, Brother Chu left at around eight o’clock. He asked me to tell you that he has something to deal with these next days and that you shouldn’t look for him.”
Chu Luo: “…”
He made it sound like it was true.
She wasn’t even going to look for him!
Tang Zhiyun didn’t notice Chu Luo’s mood. He took out his phone and said, “Since you are awake, let’s have lunch first. I will tell you about the rules of the competition.”
He then called the housekeeper.
Wang Mingtao added enthusiastically, “And our bet.”
Chu Luo nodded.
There was a knock on the door, followed by two housekeepers pushing a food cart in.
The lunch was sumptuous and nutritious.
While they were eating, Xie Minghai couldn’t help but praise, “The ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming group treats us contestants really well. Not only did they assign us four housekeepers, but they even made every meal look like a national banquet.”
Yu Lei smiled and said, “For the sake of the gaming team’s generosity, we have to overcome all obstacles and get first place.”
“Haha! That’s right!”
After the meal.
After Chu Luo sat down in front of the computer, she first looked at the betting thread.
Wang Mingtao stood behind her and pointed angrily at the amount of the bets placed on them losing.
“Sister Chu, look. It’s only been such a short time, but so many people have placed so much money on us losing.”
Xie Minghai tilted his head and looked over. “Who wouldn’t want a share of such a huge bet?”
Yu Lei looked at his computer. “Then we’ll let them see how we win this money.”
Xu Qingfeng said, “Let me calculate. According to the current bet amount, the odds are 1:35.”
“It’s already so high!” Tang Zhiyun thought for a moment and said to them, “I have decided to sell out the little programs that I programmed before and bet the money. Maybe after the competition, we will even have the capital to start a company.”
“Yeah, I think so too,” the other three chimed in.
Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao looked at the four of them.
Chu Luo asked, “You want to start your own company?”
Tang Zhiyun replied with a smile, “Of course. We are programmers anyway. Instead of working for others at a company, we might as well develop our own software… unless we can get into the Blazing Glory International Gaming Group.”
Chu Luo thought that their idea was good, so she nodded and said, “How much are you short of when the time comes? I’ll help contribute some.”
“Really!”
“That’s great!”
When the boys heard this, they were so excited that their faces turned red and they couldn’t even speak.
As computer science students, their biggest dream was to set up a company and develop their own software.
Wang Mingtao looked at Tang Zhiyun and the others expectantly. “Seniors, I want to join you too.”
“No problem.”
The boys laughed.
Chu Luo also smiled. She thought about the billion yuan she had earned last night and decided to return to Li Yan the hundred million yuan that he had given her. She then placed the rest of that billion yuan into the bet.
The sound of the gold coins falling into a pocket immediately made the excited boys look at the nearest computer subconsciously.
The system message sounded at the same time.
[The banker of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has added 1.5 billion yuan.]
……
The game world, which was originally very lively, instantly fell silent.
Then, all the players exploded.
“D*mn! Is the banker of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ being forced into a corner?”
“No! It’s obvious that the banker is suicidal and wants to continue sending us money.”
“Since the banker is so generous, what are we waiting for? It’s a waste not to earn this free money.”
“That’s right. Let’s increase our stakes. When the time comes, we’ll make the banker lose so much that they can’t even afford the northwest wind.”
Right on the heels of that, the players continued to raise their stakes. Most of them bet that “Phoenix Skies Legend” would lose.
Wang Mingtao sneered. “Drink northwest wind[1]? Ha! Let’s see who will drink northwest wind, then!”
Xie Minghai replied, “Since these people made a bet, those bosses should be following suit too.”
“They won’t place their bets at this time,” Chu Luo said after thinking for a while. “Those people will probably place their bets after our preliminary match.”
When the boys heard this, they guessed the reason at the same time.
“Those people want to see how strong we are and then consider betting on us winning or losing.”
“What a good plan. They want to earn money from us regardless of what happens. If you want to win, you have to see if the rest of us agree.
“Why don’t we hold off from revealing all our strength in the preliminary round? It’s fine as long as we can advance.”
“Good idea.”
The preliminary round of the World Championship had finally begun.
Compared to the opponents they had encountered in the empire competition, the opponents they encountered in the World Championship, even in the preliminary rounds, were very powerful.
However, “Phoenix Skies Legend” was a team that becomes stronger when faced with the strong.
One-third of the hundred-plus world-class players had advanced to the next round after three days of team PK matches.
“Phoenix Skies Legend” had advanced, but their ranking was dead last.
Even so, more people came to know about “Phoenix Skies Legend.”
Of course, most people were surprised.
“I’ve always felt that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ from the empire won’t advance. To think they actually managed to advance!”
“It’s possible that they were lucky and didn’t encounter any powerful opponents.”
“It’s possible. If their team was really strong, their ranking wouldn’t be so low.”
“I bet that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ won’t make it to the semi-finals.”
“Before the bet on ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ ends, I’ve decided to bet again. When the time comes, I’ll just have to wait for the money to be distributed.”
…
On Chu Luo’s side.
After three days of intense PK matches, not only did the boys not show signs of fatigue, but all of them were still extremely excited.
Yu Lei laughed and said, “Indeed, the opponents in the World Championship are stronger. PKing with these people and then beating them feels like an accomplishment.”
Xie Minghai also smiled and said, “Luckily, we followed Junior and learned the Thirty-Six Stratagems. I feel that our empire’s ancestors are indeed talented. To think that the Thirty-Six Stratagems can be used everywhere.”
When the others heard this, they smiled knowingly.
Tang Zhiyun called out to everyone at this moment. “Everyone, take a look. The map of the semi-finals is out.”
“What is it? What is it?”
The rest of them quickly craned their necks to take a look. What they saw made them shout again.
“Holy shit! It’s actually an interstellar war!”
“A map won’t help much in an interstellar war!”
“Quick, take a look at the competition rules.”
The semi-finals would also be held over three days. The competition would be held from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon. Within these three days, every team had to find a planet in the galaxy to build their base. The system would distribute energy from their base, and the team would use energy to build battleships.
The rules of the competition were: The last team to remain advances.
“Therefore, whoever builds the battleship first and launches the first attack to defeat the opponent will have the advantage in advancing.”
“If some teams deliberately hide and don’t come out, won’t they easily advance?”
“Since the gaming team is going to announce the semi-finals, there must be many more details that will be announced during the competition.”
“Besides, no one knows which planet we will be placed on. I’m just afraid that there will be many monsters on the planet.”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft. Yu Lei, stop jinxing us. Our luck can’t be that bad.”
When Chu Luo heard them say this, an idea flashed across her mind. She suggested, “Since no one knows which planet everyone will be sent to, why don’t we watch more Star Wars films in the next few days and study astronomy?”
The people who were discussing immediately stopped and looked at her.
Chu Luo curled her lips and asked, “Do you know where the background images of ‘Battle of Lightyears’ came from?”
Their eyes lit up.
“What Junior means is that we should first understand the background images of ‘Battle of Lightyears’ before we delve deeper?”
“That’s right. Although there are many planets in the galaxy, the variety of monsters on them must be limited. As long as we understand them, we can save a lot of time.”
“Good idea!”
The group quickly sat back down beside their computers and quickly searched for the background images of ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Xie Minghai had a look of disbelief on his face. “‘Battle of Lightyears’ actually has more than a thousand background images. It’s already good enough if we can finish looking at them in three days. We don’t even have time to understand, do we?”
The other boys had the same expression.
Chu Luo looked at their expressions and said, “I’ll handle this matter. You guys just need to be responsible for finding all the information.”
The rest of them looked puzzled. “Junior, what’s the use of finding information?”
Chu Luo pointed at her head and said confidently, “I’ll memorize them.”
Looking at her expression, they actually felt that she could really do it, so they went to look up information without saying anything.
Wang Mingtao didn’t know what to do, so he asked, “Sister Chu, what should I do?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and said, “Help me get the housekeeper to make some snacks. Just don’t disturb me from now on.”
Wang Mingtao quickly nodded and asked, “Then, Sister Chu, what do you want to do?”
“Me.” Chu Luo pointed at the computer. “Of course, it’s something important.”
With that, she turned on the betting platform.
What she saw made her lips curl up.
“What a bunch of ignorant fools.”
After saying that, Chu Luo announced the end of the bet.
The group of businessmen who were watching couldn’t sit still when they saw the deadline appear on the page.
“The banker is actually stopping the bet so early!”
“Can’t keep watching on the sidelines anymore. There are still six hours until midnight. If I miss such a good opportunity to earn money, I’ll never have such a chance again.”
“Quick, continue placing your bets. We’re definitely going to win this time.”
…
Chu Luo watched as more money surged in, and the smile on her face widened.
She had already expected these people to go crazy in the last few hours.
She exited the betting thread and quickly did some programming.
…
The amount of money that was transferred into the betting post that Chu Luo had opened had exceeded everyone’s imagination.
She had long attracted the attention of many people.
In the world’s underground market, two bounty posts attracted the attention of many people who had been wandering in the dark for a long time.
The first bounty post: 50 million yuan. Find out all the information about the person who opened the betting post.
The second bounty post: Bounty of 200 million yuan. After discovering all the information about that person, kidnap him/her.
The moment these two bounty posts were released, a few of the world’s hackers accepted the orders.
So while Chu Luo was programming, the protective wall sent out a warning signal that someone was attacking.
She looked at the various spots getting attacked and pursed her lips before quickly responding.
Tang Zhiyun, who was sitting next to her, happened to turn his head, and he saw the abnormality on her computer. He asked worriedly, “Junior, are some hackers attacking your IP address?”
“Mm.”
The other boys immediately gathered around her.
They said at the same time, “We’ll help you.”
“No need. You just need to protect your IP address.”
This was the first time Chu Luo was facing off against several world-class hackers. She didn’t show any signs of panic or helplessness. Instead, she quickly counterattacked.
Half an hour later, seeing that Chu Luo couldn’t hold on anymore, the boys’ hearts rose to their throats.
“Junior, be careful. This hacker’s attacks are too strange.”
“Junior, quick, a crack has appeared on that protective wall.”
