Chapter 44: You Lost

Yin Yichen and his group were fueled with excitement, their speed increasing even further.
On the other side, the headmaster was sweating for Nan Yan, wishing he could take her place.
Those little brats already took advantage of their numbers by playing 4v1.
Why did she still even give them five minutes more?!
These four little brats had decent skills. If she didn’t intercept, it would have been easy for them to breach an uncontrolled firewall in five minutes!
The headmaster was getting anxious, but all he could do was fret while Nan Yan leisurely reclined in her seat.
Seconds ticked away, and the last thirty seconds were drawing near.
The progress bars on the four computers had reached 99%, with only 1% remaining.
But, even with twenty seconds left, that last 1% proved invincible no matter how they attacked.
As the final second ticked away, Nan Yan took the lollipop stick out of her mouth, threw it in the trash can, and placed both hands on the keyboard.
Unlike the first round of 1v1, this time, Nan Yan’s hand speed reached an incredible state.
Her fingers moved so fast they were like blurred remnants, causing onlookers to feel dizzy.
One minute.
All four computers on the other side malfunctioned simultaneously, and Yin Yichen and his group lost control over their respective computers.
Then, on their screens, two characters appeared, spanning the entire display —
“What the f*ck…
The computer teacher behind Nan Yan, witnessing her actions, was so shocked that he blurted out an uncivilized word.
But, apart from those words, there was truly no other expression that could accurately convey his current mood!
Yin Yichen and his group felt a sense of powerlessness.
Facing Nan Yan’s overwhelming presence, they couldn’t make a dent. They could only watch helplessly as their computers were infiltrated bit by bit, losing control and losing the match.
Nan Yan rested her hands on the desk, stood up, and calmly looked at the four individuals across from her, saying slowly, “You lost.”
Her voice was not loud, but it carried a cold and detached tone as she spoke matter-of-factly.
It was a huge slap in the face.
“I’ll take the role of team leader. The four of you, please cooperate with me in the future.
Yin Yichen and the others blushed and turned pale, feeling embarrassed.
However, they had no way to argue.
Considering the bet they made, since Nan Yan had won both rounds against them, she naturally became the team leader of their participating group.
There was no doubt about it.
And, based solely on their skills, they truly had to concede.
Feng Tianji rubbed his ears and was the first to acknowledge her position. “Team Leader Nan Yan, welcome to our small team.” Zhou Shaojie said, “Welcome to the team, Leader An.”
Zhao Ziang added, “Welcome, Leader An.”
After witnessing Nan Yan’s abilities, the three of them readily accepted her.
After all, Nan Yan was undeniably powerful, and she was also beautiful. It was hard to feel any resistance learning and competing with someone like her.
Strength can dispel all rumors.
And beauty can easily captivate the opposite sex.
Especially when it came to someone like Nan Yan who possessed both.
Who could resist a girl who was both beautiful and talented?
Except for Yin Yichen, the devoted pursuer of An Muyao, the other three switched sides without hesitation.
Yin Yichen gritted his teeth as he watched his three companions change their attitude towards Nan Yan. He would never allow her to stay in their group!
He had to find a way to drive her away!
After meeting the four team members and obtaining the position of team leader, Nan Yan didn’t linger in the computer classroom. She returned to the office with the headmaster.
A few other computer teachers left with her.
“Student An, are you planning to pursue a career in the computer industry? If you are, I can recommend you to NTA Computing Institute. As long as you can win the championship in this International Computer Science Competition, you can join directly, skipping the internship stage,” said Zhang Lingxian, the teacher in charge of the computer science competition, extending an olive branch to Nan Yan.
He himself was a member of the NTA Computing Institute, a Level 2 member, and had the qualification to recommend others.
When the other computer teachers heard Zhang Lingxian’s words, they assumed Nan Yan would agree.
After all, NTA Computing Institute was one of the top computing technology research institutes in the country, with a very high entry barrier. Without the recommendation, no matter how strong one’s abilities were, there was no way in.
However, Nan Yan shook her head without any hesitation and straightforwardly refused, “Thank you, Teacher Zhang, but I don’t have that plan for now.”
“Uh…
The headmaster secretly nudged her arm.
This foolish girl had such a great opportunity!
Yet, she rejected it without even a moment’s hesitation!
Zhang Lingxian smiled amiably and said, “It’s alright, An, let’s exchange contact information. It will be convenient for us to stay in touch in the future.
If you change your mind, feel free to let me know.”
Nan Yan didn’t refuse this time and added Zhang Lingxian as a friend.
Computer teachers had their own office, so only Nan Yan left with the headmaster.
Back in the office, Nan Yan immediately asked, “Headmaster, how is the name change going?”
“It’s not that fast!” The headmaster scolded, “I have to submit the application first, then go through a process to make the change.”
“How long will it take?”
She really didn’t want to be associated with the surname “An” for even a minute longer.
“If it’s fast, it’ll take about a month. If it’s long, then it might take two to three months.”
Nan Yan licked her lips, a playful smile on her face. “Headmaster, I need to borrow your computer.”
“Oh, go ahead and use it.” The headmaster was not stingy and allowed her to use it.
Besides, this time he didn’t open any random websites, so he had nothing to worry about.
Nan Yan sat in front of the computer, placed her slender fingers on the keyboard, and hacked into the Education Bureau’s information network.
This public network wasn’t a classified area, so the firewall level wasn’t high, making it easy to infiltrate.
Then she found her student record in the file and directly changed her name.
An Nan Yan — Nan Yan.
Done!
After changing her name, Nan Yan’s mood noticeably improved. She smiled, her lips curling, and thanked the headmaster, “Thank you, Headmaster.”
The headmaster was speechless.
This was possible?!
Well, this was the special ability of a computer genius.
If she wanted to change something, she could simply hack the opponent’s firewall and change whatever she wanted.
The headmaster rubbed his temples and indulgently said, “Alright, during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, I will announce that you’ve joined the competition group and also inform the whole school about your name change.”
There was no other choice. This little troublemaker would cause a ruckus if not indulged!
“Can I leave now?”
“Yes, you may.”
Nan Yan left the school in the afternoon.
Looking down at her phone while strolling, she walked about two to three hundred meters before noticing several people surrounding her from the corner of her eye….
