Chapter 311: Chapter 311

A new pinned post suddenly appeared in the forum: The Most Handsome Guy contest is heating up, the preliminaries start on November 22nd at 8 PM and end on the 23rd at 8 PM.

After selecting the top four, they will advance to the finals. Until 8 PM on November 30th, the voting window will close.

As soon as this news came out, the first-year classes that had just finished school suddenly exploded.

Does the most handsome guy even need to be chosen? Isn’t it unspoken that it’s Leng Yunyang?

When they saw the post was by the forum administrator shell, everyone was even more puzzled.

Could it be that the school, in the interest of fairness, is holding a Most Handsome Girl contest, so they must have a Most Handsome Guy contest too?

After all, the administrator shell is considered an official representative of the school.

But everyone is happy to see such an event take place, as studying is too stressful. More activities add a bit of fun during tense study times.

"Mr. Jiang, here’s your chance," Zeng Liang said, catching up with Jiang Shengyao with his phone in hand.

Jiang Shengyao glanced at the post, and indeed was a bit surprised.

He gave Zeng Liang a look: "Did you do this?"

Zeng Liang quickly waved his hand: "How could I have the power? The administrator shell posted it. Looks like it’s the school’s idea. Mr. Jiang, maybe the school leaders secretly arranged this contest for you. No one in the world could be more fitting than you."

These school leaders sure know how to get things done.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. This time, the brothers will do everything to ensure you get first place. We absolutely cannot lose to Leng Yunyang."

Jiang Shengyao didn’t care much about it and casually waved his hand: "I’m leaving first."

Zeng Liang called a few brothers, "Let’s go to my place. We need to come up with a plan first. No matter what, we absolutely can’t let Young Master Leng lose to the other Leng."

He remembered that the post exposing Luuo Yunqi’s vote-rigging was published by Leng Yunyang himself. He must have enlisted the help of a hacker.

Zeng Liang asked while walking, "Does anyone know any skilled hackers?"

Xu Jian said, "You can post a bounty on the dark web, and if a hacker sees it, they’ll take the job."

Zeng Liang heard about this for the first time: "What’s the dark web?"

Xu Jian sent him a link, and when Zeng Liang clicked it, a pile of sketchy pop-up ads suddenly appeared, almost blinding his eyes.

"What the heck is this?" he almost dropped his phone in shock.

Then, nervously, he looked around, afraid of being misunderstood as a pervert if someone saw him.

Xu Jian said, "It’s a disguise."

After waiting a moment, a window popped up, and Zeng Liang, impatiently, clicked into it. Suddenly, a red "Black" icon jumped out, with a loading bar underneath.

Once the loading bar completed, it entered a webpage similar to a forum, but the page was particularly simple, without any flashy stuff.

Several posts were floating on the homepage.

——On the use of the fseek function in C language.

——My wife is cheating, how to install a tracker on her phone, urgently seeking expert help.

——Seeking "Hacker’s Guide to Techniques" with urgency.

——Bounty $: How does one class call another class’s method in Java.

Those with the $ symbol were bounty posts, answering the questions or taking on the tasks could earn rewards.

Zeng Liang sighed, "Suddenly opened the door to a new world, Xu Jian, how did you know about this?"

Xu Jian said, "My older brother is a student in the Computer Science Department at Qingzhou University. He knows many experts in this forum who helped him solve lots of academic problems. I got to know about it through my brother."

"Brother Zeng, if we want to help Mr. Jiang get first place, we must find the most skilled hacker."

Xu Jian said while clicking a hidden icon in the top right corner, immediately a LIST popped up on the right side of the phone.

"This is the domestic hacker leaderboard, the first on the list is the most skilled hacker."

Zeng Liang saw the first name was "SNOW."

"s-n-o-w, Xuehua?" he read it out loud.

"Why is his avatar greyed out, and how can we contact him?"

Xu Jian said, "His avatar lights up only when he logs into the forum. It’s been half a year since his last login. This master is elusive, reaching out to him is very challenging."

Zeng Liang’s gaze fell to the second name: "R-O-G-E-R. Roger?"

"Don’t even think about this one, no amount of bounty will entice him to take a job, he probably doesn’t need the money."

Zeng Liang was frustrated: "Then what should we do?"

Xu Jian pointed to the third name: "We can’t reach those two masters, nor can Young Master Leng. So, this third-ranked rain becomes important. He is active in the forum and frequently takes on bounties. We might try to hold out for him."

Zeng Liang laughed and patted Xu Jian on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Xu Jian scratched his head: "I also hope Mr. Jiang can win, but I looked at the forum chats between Luuo Yunqi and that hacker. I asked my brother, he knows that person, although he doesn’t have a ranking on the dark web, his skills are quite good. If Young Master Leng’s hacker could easily crack it, the hacker Leng knows must be more skilled than we think."
