Infiltration

Mission accomplished!

I'll contact this secretary when I have some free time.

Xu Yi then walked up to a police officer and said, "Sir, can I borrow your computer for a moment?"

"What?"

"My Douyin is being throttled, I need to increase my traffic."

Everyone was taken aback. "You're going to pay for traffic?"

"It's useless; the platform is deliberately blocking your data usage. No matter how much money you spend, it's all for nothing."

"Of course not, I need to generate traffic for myself."

"Data manipulation?"

Everyone looked puzzled, then realized what was happening.

They were probably scammed by some unscrupulous merchant.

[Streamer, calm down! Anything that tries to get you to spend money on in-game purchases is a scam.]

[Back when CrossFire was incredibly popular, someone scammed me out of 1000 yuan, claiming they could get me a full set of legendary weapons.]

[I even used SVIP membership.]

[You guys really go and spam this pointless stuff? I've been using Macau Membership for thirty years.]

[Brother, can I borrow your phone to talk?]

Xu Yi shook his head and explained, "No, that's not it. I plan to go directly into the Douyin backend and promote my own content."

Are you a Douyin employee?

"Then how do you get into the backstage area?"

"Why not just hack in?"

"Six."

The crowd was speechless. You might as well say you paid to artificially inflate traffic.

A boy who seems to have been crushed by reality and has begun to immerse himself in a world of fantasy.

Sun Xiang, you deserve to die!

Sun Xiang couldn't help but scoff, his tone mocking, "I thought you could come up with some brilliant ideas."

After holding it in for so long, you ended up with a huge mess? Hacking into Douyin's backend, what were you thinking?

But the next second, his smile vanished abruptly.

Xu Yi's hand speed was like a blur, and countless lines of code were continuously typed out.

The blue light from the screen made his pupils appear deep and mysterious.

"Heh heh~ Playing tricks!"

"If you can really hack into it, I'll call you daddy."

SQL Injection firewall bypassed!

Xu Yi watched as his Penetration Tool tore a gap in the CNC Node, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Son, remember to call me Dad in three minutes."

"Tch, you're making it sound like the truth."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Xiang let out another scream.

[Guilt Points +200]

Xu Yi twisted his dislocated arm back into place, then twisted it to the other end.

Dislocated, fixed, then dislocated again.

The pain must have been unimaginable.

Everyone who saw this felt a chill run down their spines.

[Negative Emotion Points +2000]

"Xu Yi, what are you trying to do?"

"Remember this pain. If you don't call me 'Dad' after three minutes, you'll experience this feeling for the rest of your life."

Sun Xiang trembled uncontrollably from the pain, but still stubbornly insisted, "Successfully infiltrated in three minutes? Is this a new challenge to suppress laughter?"

Xu Yi ignored him and continued typing.

One of the officers walked forward curiously, and his pupils immediately contracted.

"You actually created your own 0-day Vulnerability Database? You're serious!"

The code waterfall cascaded across six split screens, and Xu Yi tilted his head.

"Not bad, you can actually understand it."

"I used to be a programmer at a big company, but I got too stressed, so I became a police officer to retire."

The conversation between the two startled those around them.

Sun Xiang, in particular, looked utterly incredulous.

Dude, you're really good at this?

But even if you know how, it's useless; this is Douyin.

The next second, the officer clutched his head and shouted, "They've cracked the seventh layer of digital certificates? A miracle, it's simply a miracle!"

Ma Chang looked completely bewildered. "Could you explain this?"

"Director, to put it bluntly, the recommendation algorithm's backend has been completely hacked."

That's impossible!

This voice resonated in everyone's hearts at the same time.

But the next second, another officer shouted excitedly, "Our account has been unblocked!"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi smiled and said, "No need to thank me, it was nothing."

[Shock Points +200]

[Shock Points +200*10]

Everyone's expression changed drastically. You really cracked it?

This is Douyin!

National software!

Sun Xiang lay on the ground, pale-faced, without uttering a word.

How is that possible?

"No, this must be a coincidence..."

"It must be because the lockdown was just lifted at that exact moment," Sun Xiang roared.

Xu Yi sneered, "The show is just beginning."

Everyone immediately crowded around the computer, their eyes fixed intently.

Although they couldn't understand a single thing.

"Director, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to just stand by and watch? After all, we're police officers."

Ma Chang's Mediterranean-style hair fluttered in the wind as he struck the pose of a pensive figure on the toilet.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Write it! Xu Yi deceived us completely; we had no idea what was going on."

"Not a single word changed?"

"No change!"

Municipal Party Committee Building

Fang Tang stared blankly at the screen, his eyes wide with shock.

He knew Xu Yi was quite capable, but he never expected him to be this extraordinary.

They can even hack into Douyin.

"Old Zhang, haven't we gone too far?"

"I'll take care of everything, don't worry."

Zhang Mu looked at Xu Yi on the screen, his expression filled with pride.

"Let's look at it another way. Since Xu Yi was able to hack into it, it proves that Douyin still has vulnerabilities and needs further improvement."

If we were invaded by a foreign country, that would undoubtedly be a disaster.

Fang Tang nodded. "Then I'll report to the National Security Bureau first, to give them a heads-up, so they won't be alarmed."

"Go ahead, I'll take care of everything."

Fang Tang nodded, picked up his briefcase, and left with his secretary.

Zhang Mu continued to stare at the screen, muttering to himself.

Xu Yi, oh Xu Yi, how many more surprises can you bring me?

The crowd gathered around the computer stared intently at the number of Livestream Room in the upper right corner.

One thousand people, five thousand people, one hundred thousand people... two hundred thousand people, one million people!

In just a few minutes, the number of viewers in the Livestream Room skyrocketed from one hundred to ten thousand.

Even more terrifying is that the number of people is still rapidly increasing.

Xu Yi, terrifyingly powerful!

At this moment, Sun Xiang lay on the ground, ashen-faced.

Xu Yi kicked him twice, and Hei Zi spoke up!

You think you're qualified to wage a war of words against me?

Sun Xiang remained silent, only sending messages to his wife for help.

Douyin backend~

Wang Ning, the operations manager of Douyin, conducted the inspection as usual.

When he saw on the monitor screen, an account called "Eel Can Also Kill People" was gaining followers at a rate of tens of thousands per second.

The data stream from the Recommendation Pool exhibits a bizarre Mandelbrot Fractal Pattern.

His first reaction was that he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes, he realized that the sky had fallen.

Oh my god!

He immediately pressed the emergency disconnect button, but suddenly a burning smell came from the server room again.

Twelve Load Balancer overloaded simultaneously, and the sparks from the tripped circuit breaker ignited the dust filter.

His vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground.

With his last ounce of strength, he dialed the phone, "Chairman, something terrible has happened..."

At this point, the Livestream Room chat was practically overflowing the entire screen with comments.

[Guys, Douyin's haunted! Every video I scroll through is by this streamer; there are no other videos at all.]

Is Douyin creating idols?

[What the hell? Even if you created another one, it shouldn't be that nine out of ten videos I watch are about him.]

[This makes me so angry! Where's Sun Xiang? What's his Douyin account?]

[The Son of a Hero shouldn't be treated like this. Sun Xiang, come out and apologize.]

Ma Chang angrily plucked a small tuft of hair, "Is this a dream?! Ten million viewers in the Livestream Room!!"

(PS: I went for a job interview today, wearing a blazer in the cold wind. It was at a branch of a big company. The headhunter introduced me to the interviewer as a novelist with a large following and strong logical thinking. The interviewer replied, "What do you need so many fans for? Come work here!")

Later, I was successfully rejected because I was too inexperienced. They said I had no experience and wouldn't consider me. How could a college graduate like me, fresh out of school, have any experience? I was speechless...
