He Is the God of the Internet

Ordinary citizens might not have noticed, nor were they aware of the news regarding the current cyber warfare. Even if they heard a little, it was mere hearsay and not to be taken seriously, perhaps serving as a pastime for idle conversation.

However, those who were paying attention, or even participating in this event, knew clearly that this was a massive war rarely seen in a century.

Guo Hua, the founder of the Eastern Alliance, established a vast hacker security organization at the age of 16. He was hailed as the youngest Hacker Godfather.

He was also known as the founder of the Eastern Alliance, hailed as number one in Asia.

At this moment, Guo Hua was also paying attention to this matter.

When he first received this news, he wasn't sure what he felt. Surprise? Amusement? Disdain?

Perhaps it was a mix of everything. He initially thought of a spoiled rich kid who, after developing a rather powerful software, had become too arrogant.

Even he wasn't confident he could withstand the combined attacks of hackers from around the world.

Or perhaps it wasn't about confidence, but rather how long he could hold on – maybe a few minutes.

After all, Origin Company was too young, and Chu Feng was also too young, so young it was hard to believe.

Guo Hua didn't even consider helping Chu Feng. It wasn't out of indifference, but because investing significant resources into something destined to fail was simply unwise.

When the first wave of attacks arrived, Guo Hua shook his head and sighed upon seeing Origin Company's seemingly fragile first layer of defense. Was it as expected?

But the subsequent events left him somewhat dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected Origin Company to hold out for so long. This in itself was a glorious achievement and something to boast about, as no one else at the time possessed the ability or skill to withstand such global attacks for so long.

However, as time went on, more and more hackers joined the attack, with even long-established hackers entering this war without smoke.

The first layer of firewall had the hackers fiercely engaged, creating a dazzling display that caused the hackers to fall into disarray.

This also delighted Guo Hua; he learned that things could be done in such a manner, broadening his horizons.

After finally breaching the first firewall, the second firewall presented a bizarre interface, causing Guo Hua to spit out his tea.

Everyone outside of China was completely baffled, while those in China were on the verge of bursting into laughter.

The second firewall was a fill-in-the-blank test of Chinese idioms, with each step leading to the next. Getting even one wrong meant starting over. Even Chinese people had to ponder for a long time, let alone foreigners.

The second firewall once again showed foreigners the terrifying nature of the Chinese language, with one idiom having so many different interpretations...

Fortunately, China was strong now, and there were many Sinologists. They realized it was an idiom test, and the next day, as everyone frantically flipped through idiom dictionaries, idiom dictionaries in the country saw a minor surge in popularity, much to the delight of bookstore owners.

After finally passing the second stage, they encountered the third stage: listening comprehension.

How the hell are we supposed to do this? This time, even many Sinologists were bewildered.

Xiao Hong: "Xiao Ming, are you coming to my place tonight?" Xiao Ming: "I'll go, I won't go." Question: "Did Xiao Ming go to Xiao Hong's place?" ... Girlfriend: "Coming or not?" Boyfriend: "Coming!" Girlfriend: "Still coming or not?" Boyfriend: "Not coming anymore." Question: "What do these instances of 'coming' mean?" ... This was too difficult... Many foreigners were on the verge of tears from frustration.

Many people collapsed by the third day...

On the fourth day, they had to find fault with things, and it had to be done by visual inspection...

The fifth day featured the famous matching game...

By the sixth day, only a few organizations remained, facing the "Eight Trigrams Maze"...

The seventh day... no one was left...

Everyone gave up. This was not something humans could do.

The members of the Eastern Alliance were almost rolling with laughter. Who knew what Chu Feng was up to, making hackers worldwide play games with him...

Meanwhile, in Chu Feng's office, Lin Lin was also stunned. What happened to the promised technical challenge? What happened to the hacker supremacy battle?

Why did the style change so drastically? Although she was worried about whether Chu Feng could hold out, and for the first time wished she could lose, she didn't expect to lose in such a bizarre way.

The top hackers from various countries, who had been thoroughly defeated, also pulled their hands away from their keyboards.

Mitnick hadn't slept for days. This defeat left him both dejected and excited. Firewalls could be played with like this?

Time was up, and they hadn't even breached the firewall. If he knew that Chu Feng had maliciously set up 81 firewalls, would he vomit blood?

"General Kalman, I apologize, but I am powerless. Origin Company's technology far surpasses ours," Mitnick reported dejectedly to General Kalman of the USA's Information Security Department.

General Kalman was like a deflated balloon.

His initial ambition had vanished without a trace. He never expected that technology surpassing the USA would emerge in the world, and even in China, which he looked down upon. How could he stomach this?

"It's not your fault; you did your best. It's just that this Origin company is too bizarre. This needs a thorough investigation."

After comforting Mitnick, General Kalman also discussed the results of the operation with the director of the CIA.

"We must take down this junior artificial intelligence. It's too powerful. If it's applied to the military, we'll fall behind completely..."

"I can't even get in touch with this Chu Feng. He completely disregarded the USA's invitation. Since we can't have it, we'll destroy it. Without his platform, he'll realize offending the USA is the most foolish choice!" CIA Director Johnson said sinisterly.

Japan, India, and the European Union all abandoned their attacks.

A rumor also spread across the internet: the designer of Origin company is the world's number one hacker, a god of the internet, an irreplaceable deity.

Chu Feng, who had already become an idol to many hackers, was unaware of the situation. He was still feeling a bit regretful, wondering if he had gone too far with his setup, causing all these hackers to back down.

A battle of the century ended dramatically, under somewhat comical and somewhat regrettable circumstances.

The Chinese hackers who learned that Origin company had held its ground celebrated as if it were New Year's. Origin company was subtly becoming the benchmark for Chinese internet technology.

Even Guo Hua declared that Origin company was the world's technological pioneer.

"So? I won the bet, didn't I?"

Chu Feng looked at Lin Lin triumphantly. Lin Lin gritted her teeth, annoyed that such a grown man was obsessed with this matter.

"A loss is a loss. I'll do whatever you say," Lin Lin conceded resignedly, completely giving up.

"Heh heh, I'll hold onto the condition. I'll tell you when I think of something,"

In reality, many people believed this online war was Chu Feng's way of seeking attention, or perhaps advertising for Origin company.

But Chu Feng wasn't that idle. He was merely using this opportunity to collect the information he wanted with the Ship's AI.

While those countries tried to hack Origin company's servers through the internet, Chu Feng had also ordered the Ship's AI to secretly infiltrate their computers, obtaining the information he desired and expanding his database in the process.

To this day, they still didn't know they hadn't successfully obtained any information from Origin company, and Chu Feng had turned their entire backgrounds upside down.

When Chu Feng first returned, he had only gathered information in a general way, and some of it even had gaps.

As a result, some technologies were too advanced, with breaks in between, making them impossible to apply. His auxiliary robots, while capable of many things, lacked research and development capabilities.

Now, with the world's data integrated, some technologies could be openly developed. At the very least, experimental results that were close to completion, but about ten years ahead of their time, could now be presented without being too shocking.

Overly advanced technology would only instill fear in the world, and eventually, even his own country would not spare him. Although he had a spaceship and wasn't afraid, he didn't want to be an enemy of the world.

Being alone on a destroyed planet would be too lonely. How could it be as exciting as now?
