Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

While Lu Xiaobu was chatting with this mysterious master, the system came back online.

"Host, prepare a USB drive for me; I'll give you the virus."

The system said to Lu Xiaobu, "Panda Burning Incense, you should be familiar with it, right?"

"Sure thing!" Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu's eyes lit up instantly.

So, while he asked Zeng Changhong to prepare a USB drive, he typed out to the mysterious master, "How about I help you break free, and you meet me in person?"

"What do you mean? Just by yourself? With your company's crappy defenses, what can you do to break free?! You're not negotiating with Korea, are you? Forget it! I'm not that despicable!"

Lu Xiaobu: "What's the matter? Do I, Lu Xiaobu, look like someone who would collude with Korea?! Let me tell you the truth! They originally came to trouble me but ran into you instead!"

"Damn it! So you're saying I took the bullet for you?!"

Lu Xiaobu: "Yep, to be precise, you all took the bullet for me!"

"*************!"

Lu Xiaobu: "What do you mean?!"

"I'm so angry I can't think of any other words to curse you with, so I'm giving you a string of asterisks, figure it out yourself!"

Lu Xiaobu immediately laughed. This guy was quite interesting. "So, do we have a deal?!"

"Deal! I'll trust you this once! But don't play any tricks, I've left a backdoor in your company. If you dare play any, I'll paralyze your entire company!"

Lu Xiaobu: "Don't worry! Just give me a way to transfer the file, and I'll send you a virus to toss into Korea."

"Hold on!"

Two seconds later.

"All set! Transfer it over!"

Lu Xiaobu transferred the virus: "Just so you know, don't get curious. If it accidentally spreads in our country, you'll be the criminal!"

"You're scaring me!"

He was full of disdain. Spread it and become a criminal? It's not like it's the Atomic Bomb!

Honestly, he did want to take a look.

However, due to the urgent situation in Korea, he didn't have the luxury to be curious. So, he threw the Panda Burning Incense virus over there like a desperate last resort.

At that moment, the Atomic Bomb went off!

...

In the Dark Web chatroom.

32: "Hahaha, do you guys know who we've caught?!"

&: "You're the last to know! If I didn't know who we were dealing with, do you think I could mobilize the full force of the Three-Eyed Group, even getting the officials involved?!"

32: "Me! I want to meet you in real life and punch you!"

H: "Enough, cut it out! It's a fortunate accident that we caught GH this time!"

Qi: "Right, I've received the orders from above. If possible, we should make him work for us; if not, then destroy him!"

H: "Exactly my thought!"

32: "I'm gonna go provoke him! GH, oh Master, hahaha, you got caught by us after all!"

The hackers from Korea were in high spirits, preparing to close the net and capture GH when!

32: "Damn it! I've been hacked!"

H: "What happened!? Explain the situation so we can all analyze it. Wait! No need to analyze!"

&: "What's up?"

H: "I've been hit too! It's definitely a virus made by GH! Damn it! Watch me decode this!"

One second, two seconds, three seconds!

H never came back with a sound after mentioning decoding, and 32 also disappeared without a trace!

Then, news spread among all the Korean hackers involved in the siege on GH.

IO: "Damn! Who released the virus?!"

A female hacker from Korea said, "I've been infected too! My machine can't run any programs now!"

Another person said, "Dammit! What's up with this virus?! When was I infected? I just checked my email!"

59: "For crying out loud, I'm not free to send you viruses!? Are you stupid? It's definitely GH's virus!"

& in shock: "How did it spread so fast? You didn't turn on your firewalls?!"

59: "We did! There were no alerts, it just silently infected us!"

&: "What the hell are the characteristics?! Can someone just tell me already?! Cut the crap!"

七(Qi): "I'll tell you! The most obvious thing is that all the EXE files have turned into an image of a panda holding up three sticks of incense and burning them, and there's a line of small text on the incense!"

&: "What does the text say?!"

Qi: "Offering condolences to dumbasses!"

&: "Damn it! No, wait a minute! Qi, you know so much! Could it be that you—"

Qi: "That's right! I'm infected too! And I can't..."

Qi's message vanished.

"Shit shit shit! What's happening?!" & sat in front of the computer, frantically smashing it.

He was in charge of the defense for the Three-Eyed Group, so his computer's defense level was pretty much on par with the Three-Eyed Group's, which means, so far no harm!

"Motherfucker! It's just a virus! Watch me crack it!" & gritted his teeth and said.

As the highly paid Security Director hired by the Three-Eyed Group, you do have some confidence in that!

He was just pissed because he was sure GH would take the opportunity to run away!

But!

The very next second!

A panda holding three sticks of incense appeared on his computer screen—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

In the next second, all his EXE files turned into the same icon!

"Motherfucker!"

Now, & was truly panicked!

Like he said, his defense was almost like the Three-Eyed Group's, and now his defenses had been breached!

So!

He hurried to make a call!

But it was too late, the news had already reached him!

Three-Eyed Group servers—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

Korean Cyber Monitoring—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

Korean Government websites—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

Korean Stock Exchange—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

Korean Police stations—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

Korean Communications—paralyzed! Panda burning incense appeared—Offering condolences to dumbasses!

...

In just a moment, it was as if every network place in Korea had fallen!

Like an Atomic Bomb had hit Korea's cyber territory!

Heavy casualties!

At the same time!

A string of messages was madly being sent to his phone!

There were interrogations from company CEOs!

There were commands from government officials!

There were leasing requests from other companies!

There were shocks from other hackers!

...

Looking at all these messages, & collapsed onto the chair, his phone dropped to the floor, staring blankly at the icon of the panda burning incense on the computer screen!

It's over! It's all over now!

The loss this time for Korea might just skyrocket!

A couple of tens of billions won't suffice!

Has GH gone mad?!

How could he be so ruthless?!

And where did he get such a powerful virus?!

He thought that GH released the virus, but little did he know, GH was just as stunned!
