“Mm-hmm,” Liu Feng nodded.
“To participate in the World Hacker Competition?”
“Yes, yes,” Liu Feng nodded again.
“You’re kidding me!” Chu Anqing couldn’t help but snort with laughter,
“He’s not even a hacker!
What’s he doing getting involved in that mess?”
“Everyone’s constitution is different,” Liu Feng repeated Lin Xian’s words, also looking at Chu Anqing with a baffled face,
“That’s what he said.”
Tap, tap, tap.
Outside the door, another round of footsteps approached, a tall woman with a short skirt and a belly-baring tank top leaned on the doorway, ruffling Chu Anqing’s hair:
“You ran so fast!
I was calling you from behind, and you didn’t hear!
You didn’t even answer your phone!”
“Auntie!” Chu Anqing giggled, looking up at Su Su:
“Phones have to be on silent during class, and I forgot to switch it back afterward.”

“But you didn’t have to run so fast!”Su Su chuckled lightly,
“You ran like a rabbit, as if there was a big bad wolf chasing after you.”
Liu Feng held the instrument in his hand.
He looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, whose makeup might have been heavy and clothing a bit too summery, but whose pretty face and sexy figure were not inferior to those models on the billboards.
More importantly…
This beauty seemed to be about the same age as Lin Xian, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old—a peer.
“Mm…”
He nodded in satisfaction.
That’s more like it.
This fit in with mathematical logic; the [arithmetic progression] was now complete, the missing link filled in.
“You’re late too,” Liu Feng said to Su Su, earnestly:
“You should have come 20 minutes earlier.”
“Huh?” Su Su looked at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression, the one who looked like a teacher or research fellow:
“Why should I have come 20 minutes earlier?”
“If you had been 20 minutes earlier, Lin Xian would still have been here,” Liu Feng replied.
“Wow, are you sick in the head or what!”
Su Su exclaimed,
“What’s it to me whether he’s here or not!”
She looked down at Chu Anqing,
“An Qing, who is this?”
“This is a friend of Senior Lin Xian, Liu——”
“Tss!
Birds of a feather flock together!” She interrupted Chu Anqing disdainfully and pulled her away:
“Let’s go eat, stupidity is contagious.”
…
Today is Friday.
Su Su happened to be nearby the university town, so she volunteered to pick Chu Anqing up from home and drove her McLaren straight into the school.
Unfortunately, Chu Anqing had her phone on silent during class so she couldn’t be reached, so Su Su waited outside the classroom building where Chu Anqing had her class.
And then.
The moment the dismissal bell rang, the girl bolted like a rabbit, impossible to call back, and headed straight for the deserted laboratory building, leaving Su Su with no choice but to follow.
“Let’s not go to your place for dinner; let’s just grab something casual outside,” Su Su suggested.
Su Su flicked on the turn signal, twisted the steering wheel of the McLaren, and glanced over at Chu Anqing:
“Your parents are such nags, if I went to your house for dinner, I’d get an earful about setting me up on blind dates and getting married and all that.”
Afterwards.
Su Su drove into a quaintly decorated restaurant, ordered several signature dishes, and chatted with Chu Anqing while eating.
“What?”
With chopsticks suspended mid-air, Su Su looked at Chu Anqing with a pained expression:
“You’re saying Lin Xian is going to Mi Country to compete in the ‘World Hacker Competition’?
Isn’t that plainly asking for humiliation?”
She snorted as if quite proud:
“He might be somewhat skilled at driving, I admit that.
But when it comes to hacking, that’s all about real skill, and Lin Xian isn’t even a computer science major nor does he work in the field, yet he dares to represent our country in the ‘World Hacker Competition’…
The world is really going nuts.”
“And he’s going to be the fifth one to appear.” Chu Anqing added:
“He’s supposed to directly face that what’s-his-name, the genius hacker kid from Mi Country, Walker something…
This has been all over the internet recently, I’ve even been seeing it a lot on Douyin.”
“Even less of a chance~”
Su Su spread her hands, laughing:
“Kevin Walker, this guy is universally acknowledged as the strongest hacker on Earth.
Regardless of his young age…
Ah, who knows if his name and age are even real, but this genius hacker is indeed light-years ahead of his time, so strong it’s unreasonable, the kind of strong that shouldn’t even exist in this era.”
“There have been many such geniuses throughout history who were ahead of their time.
When their contemporaries meet these true geniuses, it really is a disaster, completely overshadowed by them, living under their shadow.”
“Look at racing, science, sports…
Every now and then, an unreasonably powerful genius emerges who dominates an entire era, and it’s only after they pass away that their peers can breathe a sigh of relief.”
Sipping on her drink, Su Su smacked her lips:
“So, it’s certain that Lin Xian stands no chance.
Ah, I think I understand why the country is sending him to face Kevin Walker.”
“Why?” Chu Anqing blinked.
“Tian Ji’s Horse Racing, of course!
Hahahaha!” Su Su laughed loudly:
“An inferior horse against a superior horse!
Using Lin Xian as cannon fodder to wear down the genius Kevin Walker!”
Bang.
Chu Anqing slammed her hand on the table:
“How could that be!
Auntie, how can you say that?
How can you be so sure Senior Lin Xian will lose?”
“Do you even need to ask?”
Su Su felt it was rather absurd:
“How could he possibly win?
𝕟𝑜𝘃𝕘𝑜.co
His trip to New York is meant for him to lose!”
“I don’t believe it.”
Putting down her chopsticks, Chu Anqing bit her lower lip:
“Senior Lin Xian isn’t that kind of person!”
“[If he’s traveling all the way to Mi Country just to lose a competition, what’s the point of him going?]”
“Tian, Ji, Horse, Racing!” Su Su articulated slowly:
“Did I not make myself clear?
Losing that match is Lin Xian’s purpose; the contest against Kevin Walker is unwinnable, so it would be the same no matter who goes!”
“I don’t believe it!”
Chu Anqing’s eyes were steadfast:
“Senior Lin Xian won’t lose!
At least…
if he knew he would lose, he wouldn’t go.
Or rather!
Even if he knew he was going to lose, he would still find a way to win and show everyone!”
“Yo, is that so?”
Su Su looked at Chu Anqing with a slight smile, intrigued:
“So sure of him, eh?”
“Of course!
Senior Lin Xian is really amazing and smart!”
“Hehe, since you have so much faith in him.”
Twirling the chopsticks in her hand and raising an eyebrow, Su Su looked at Chu Anqing with interest:
“How about…
we bet on something?”
