Chapter 369: Chapter 43: Killing Three Birds with One Stone_2 Chapter 369: Chapter 43: Killing Three Birds with One Stone_2 “The five players we’re sending out are our country’s top computer talents.
To ensure their security, the National Security Bureau has sent a specialized troop and plane for their close protection.
It concerns national prestige and dignity; there cannot be the slightest negligence.”
National Security Bureau.
Dedicated personnel, dedicated aircraft, close protection.
Isn’t this exactly what I need?
Lin Xian held a deep trust in the strength of the Dragon Nation’s National Security Bureau.
Especially since the five top computer talents they’re sending this time, two from Penguin and 360, with the remaining three from the national cyber security departments; the top five picked from 1.3 billion people…
They represent the pinnacle of China’s computing technology.
Shouldn’t such rare talents be well protected?
If anything were to happen to these five, it would undoubtedly be a colossal loss to the country’s information security field.
Therefore, the troops assigned to protect these competitors must be the elite forces of the national government.
In comparison, teams participating in previous hacker competitions certainly didn’t receive this level of treatment, nor did the competitions have such significant influence.
But this time is different.

Those three top experts from the national cyber security department have skyrocketed the prestige of the team, making it worthy of being called the [national team].
Moreover.
For Lin Xian.
If he could join this national team for the World Hacker Competition, not only would he be able to protect the Dragon Nation’s Great Internet Wall, guard the Skynet System…
But he could also take advantage of the opportunity to address a personal matter he’s been contemplating for a long time—
With the National Elite Forces’ close protection, he would visit Einstein’s House to see the gift Ji Lin left for him.
“VV.”
Lin Xian looked up at the refrigerator:
“How far is it from New York to Princeton University?”
“160 kilometers.”
The refrigerator’s small screen flickered:
“Just over an hour’s drive will get you there,”
“That’s acceptable, quite close.”
Lin Xian weighed the pros and cons, feeling that this trip to Mi Country was indeed quite necessary.
He cared deeply…
About the code that Ji Lin had found in the “The Sorrowful Einstein” painting.
Why are there eight original versions of the painting?
And where are the other seven?
Also, most critically.
Does the code within the painting have any connection to the Genius Club?
In any case.
It was best to go to Mi Country and find out for himself!
As long as he offered the Dragon Nation’s Security Bureau enough bargaining chips, they should not refuse to protect him on a slight detour.
Besides, Princeton University isn’t far from New York…
It’s only reasonable to escort someone who’s contributed to guarding the nation’s cybersecurity defenses, right?
And another thing.
The World Hacker Competition doesn’t require coding on the spot; you can write the code in advance and then simply run the program.
He could certainly let VV write a program for him in advance, and all that would be needed at the time is a double-click for the program to run automatically.
Whether it’s cracking Google’s website, jailbreaking Apple phones, or even breaching the firewall of the Pentagon, there’s no need to worry about being exposed.
Because.
“These cybersecurity vulnerabilities exist in reality, it’s only a matter of if and when they are discovered.”
It wouldn’t involve any knowledge from the future, nor would it expose VV’s existence.
It’s just like Kevin Walker attempting to breach the Dragon Nation Skynet System.
No one would suspect that he is a space-time traveler or has some sort of futuristic hacking technology.
Just like VV just said.
The larger the program, the more vulnerabilities it has.
If there are security vulnerabilities, they are bound to be breached.
There are plenty of self-taught hackers around the world, and if Mi Country can have a genius young hacker, why can’t China have a talented young hacker too?
Lin Xian turned to the refrigerator:
“VV, can you write me a one-click hacking program?
It doesn’t have to be overly powerful, just a little better than the other contestants.
If they hack websites, mobile phones, and jailbreak operating systems, we’ll just hack a Tesla car or take control of the power grid.”
“Of course, that’s no problem.”
The refrigerator’s compressor chuckled:
“As easy as flipping one’s hand.”
Lin Xian took a deep breath.
Now.
His thoughts were clear, and his plan was smooth.
He could protect the Dragon Nation Skynet System,
And also fulfill his wish to visit Princeton under the protection of the national forces.
Truly a win-win!
“No…”
Lin Xian shook his head and smiled slightly:
“It’s [three birds with one stone]!”
Once VV is in Mi Country, it could gather facial recognition data from all over the world, more photos of foreigners.
That way…
Perhaps he could identify the real identity of the mysterious old man from the dreamland; then in the present year of 2023, find a way to deal with him, change the future, and save himself caught in a dead end in the Fourth Dreamland 600 years later!
“I’m going to sketch a portrait now; you do your thing.”
Lin Xian waved at the refrigerator and walked into the bedroom.
He turned on the desk lamp.
Picked up a sketch pencil and some A4 paper.
Lin Xian began to sketch the portrait of the mysterious old man from the Fourth Dreamland, based on memory…
He drew with great care.
And with much detail.
He tried to capture every little detail of the old man’s face, aiming to make this sketch as lifelike as a photograph.
It could be said, this was the most effort he had ever put into a sketch.
In the past, everyone was amazed at Lin Xian’s high level of skill in drawing, how his portraits resembled photographs.
