Chapter 516 Ling Wu's Suggestion, Hacker Competition
Chapter 516 Ling Wu's Suggestion, Hacker Competition
The night sky is like velvet and the sea breeze is blowing.
The old man in white brought Tang Lingwu to the house, so Zheng Fa simply took the two of them and headed straight to an uninhabited beach.
The three of them, like ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation, sat on the fine sand.
There were few vehicles on the road behind.
The sound of waves crashing against the shore deepened the silence between the three of them.
Zheng Fa actually felt much more relaxed:
If the modern world is his sanatorium, then the two people in front of him are his best psychologists.
Even if he just talked and confided some of his troubles to the two of them, he could get a lot of comfort.
But the old man Bai and the other man couldn't relax.
The old man in white looked blankly at the black coastline in the distance. Tang Lingwu lowered her head, as if silently counting the grains of sand at her feet.
Finally, it was the old man who broke the silence: "You mean, there is deadly danger over there?"
Zheng Fa nodded slowly.
He hadn't thought of telling everything to the old man Bai and the other two.
The reason is simple: the strength of the old man Bai and the other man is far from enough, and telling them out would only cause them more trouble.
It's not just the two of them.
Ever since the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor showed up, he has been just a spectator and could only watch.
The battle between Jiuyou Demon Ancestor and Lu Yao can almost be said to be a battle between Golden Immortals.
"The Book of Life and Death, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation..."
The old man's expression was also a little numb.
He didn't know how powerful the Golden Immortal was, but these two magic weapons were well-known enough.
Even though it may not be authentic, it's still scary.
After a while, Tang Lingwu raised her head and looked at Zheng Fa.
"Ok?"
"Will you... die?"
Even Zheng Fa didn't expect that Tang Lingwu would be so direct.
The old man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he met Tang Lingwu's eyes, the words in his throat inexplicably turned into a long sigh, which disappeared soundlessly with the wind.
Tang Lingwu looked extremely thin as she sat on the beach.
It seemed that if the waves were louder, they would knock her down.
She reached out and grabbed Zheng Fa's arm, with the joints clearly visible and she was grabbing it with great force.
"It's unlikely. After all, I'm so afraid of death that I will definitely do everything I can to save my life."
Zheng Fa said softly.
"Besides, I have more cards up my sleeve than others."
"I still have the Fusang tree, and I can still come to this world..."
"I even have the means to bring the dead back to life."
Zheng Fa comforted him endlessly.
Tang Lingwu seemed not to hear and just asked
"You're sure you'll be okay?"
Zheng Fa stopped talking.
Tang Lingwu looked at his tightly closed mouth, waiting for his promise.
But Zheng Fa cannot guarantee it.
The expression on Tang Lingwu's face made Old Man Bai turn his head away, unable to bear to look at her closely.
Seeing that the two were silent, Zheng Fa didn't know what to say, so he simply started talking about the matter of Venerable Tianhe.
In the past, Old Man Bai and the other man only knew that Zheng Fa had another business, but they didn’t have much in-depth knowledge.
As for the experience of Reverend Tianhe and the ins and outs of the Tianhe Rebellion, they didn't know much.
Zheng Fa started from the profound structure of the Demon Ancestor Era, talked about the rise of Venerable Tianhe, and then talked about the inexplicable fall of Venerable Tianhe, the Tianhe Chaos, the revenge of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and Lu Yao's back-up plan.
This history is too long and too complicated.
Tang Lingwu and the other person were so absorbed in listening that they forgot their earlier panic.
"So, the biggest danger is actually Lu Yaozhengdao?"
Zheng Fa pondered for a moment and added, "I can't understand the thoughts of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor."
This is a very difficult matter to talk about.
Lu Yao is certainly a big threat.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is no pushover either.
He naturally sympathized with the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, but this man had experienced too many tragedies and had accumulated so much hatred in his heart. It was really difficult to guess what he wanted to do.
Zheng Fa could understand that he wanted to overthrow the entire immortal sect, but for the Nine Mountains Realm, this was a calamity.
What's more, this person also knows about the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant.
To Zheng Fa, Jiuyou is really a huge thunder that will explode if touched.
The old man scratched his head and said:
"This is too passive. Can we only rely on luck?"
Old man Bai's words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the root cause of Zheng Fa's uneasiness.
In the battle between Jiuyou Demon Ancestor and Lu Yao, the only thing Zheng Fa can rely on is luck.
To put it bluntly, it’s gambling.
I bet that Venerable Tianhe has a backup plan.
Bet he could escape death.
Bet he can sever the connection between the modern world and the mysterious world.
Considering Zheng Fa's personality, this is not much different from waiting to die...
"Since the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor set up the sword formation, I have lost control of the situation." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor has the Immortal Execution Formation Diagram and the Book of Life and Death. I can't contend with him."
"Not to mention Lu Yao."
"Looking back now, I'm lucky I went to Tianhe Sect, otherwise I wouldn't even have the chance to get lucky."
After hearing this, Old Man Bai didn't know what to say.
He is also a cultivator, so he naturally understands that cultivators must ultimately speak with strength.
The difference in strength between Zheng Fa, Jiuyou Demon Ancestor and Lu Yao meant that he could only be a spectator.
Even the best brains in the modern world combined would be unable to solve this problem.
Sometimes, wisdom isn't real strength after all.
……
"Control..." Just when the old man was at a loss, Tang Lingwu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Can you try to control the Zhuxian formation?"
"Ok?"
Tang Lingwu spoke slowly, as if she was sorting out the inspiration that had just come to her:
"You just said that the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is a bit like a maze game, a kind of programming for the universe and the laws of physics."
"Ah."
"I don't know if the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is perfect, but if we can crack the symbol structure of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, does that mean we can gain higher authority than others?"
Zheng Fa listened, his eyes lighting up slightly.
The old man seemed to understand: "Game cheating device?"
"That's about what I mean." Tang Lingwu nodded and said, "And Zheng Fa, you also have the Xianjian Sword, so you naturally have certain authority."
"It is also a natural loophole in the Zhu Xian Sword Formation."
"Even if the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is perfect, we still have something to do."
Zheng Fa was stunned.
To put it bluntly, Tang Lingwu's idea is to take advantage of system loopholes to develop a game plug-in.
On the one hand, she was thinking about this problem completely from a procedural perspective.
On the other hand, she also gave Zheng Fa the possibility to regain the initiative.
The old man slapped his thigh fiercely: "If Zheng Fa can control the Zhuxian Sword Formation, doesn't that mean that you also have the strength of the Golden Immortal level?"
Zheng Fa stood up from the beach abruptly, feeling excited: "I don't need to be a Golden Immortal. The four swords of the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation combined into one are far superior to ordinary True Immortals..."
"Then Lu Yao sneaked into the underworld, probably because he was afraid of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation..." "He hasn't even achieved the Golden Immortal yet. He is definitely stronger than other True Immortals, but maybe not even the Golden Immortal."
“If the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor had not been restricted by the Book of Life and Death and controlled the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, he would not be so passive.”
Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, I’m afraid this Golden Immortal is also a bit exaggerated, after all, the Book of Life and Death is not yet complete.
But this does not mean that Lu Yao must be very strong.
After all, this person has not yet truly attained the Golden Immortal status.
The biggest reason why the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is now at a disadvantage is that Lu Yao took advantage of Zhitong's sacrifice to target the Book of Life and Death, making it impossible for it to exert its own strength.
Needless to say, the Book of Life and Death.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed unable to even control the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
This is the biggest problem of Tianhe Method.
This is also the reason why Lu Yao went to so much trouble to sneak into the underworld.
As far as the Xuanwei Realm is concerned, the combat power of treasures has a great impact on people's strength.
For example, Xie Qingxue, with the Qingping Sword, is the number one person under the Dao Fruit.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, holding the Book of Life and Death, dares to say that he is a Golden Immortal.
Not to mention Zheng Fa, the Fusang wood allowed him to enter the Xuanwei upper class society at an early stage, and he chatted and laughed with various great Daoguos.
If I could make the Zhu Xian Sword Formation awesome...
Only Zheng Fa can truly control the outcome of the battle.
At that time, even if Venerable Tianhe had nothing left, he would never sit back and watch the situation change like he is now.
Although it is only a possibility, it is a direction that is worth striving for.
For Zheng Fa, this direction is extremely important and can almost be said to be a life-saving straw.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He walked up to Tang Lingwu, put his hands through the girl's armpits, picked her up, and held her above his head.
The moonlight was gentle, blending the two people's shadows on the beach into one.
“There are still people!”
The old white man snorted.
Zheng Fa put the blushing Tang Lingwu down and smiled at the old man: "If Lingwu's idea succeeds, it will really be called saving the world."
There is more than one world.
"I understand, but I, an old widower, am not here with you guys in the middle of the night to eat dog food."
"Grandpa Bai!" Tang Lingwu said angrily, "How about you go back first?"
The sound was small, but it shocked the old man greatly.
"...What's Zheng Fa's speed? What's my speed? When will I be able to fly back?"
"It's a good opportunity to practice flying..."
The old man was silent for a long time, as if he didn't recognize Tang Lingwu. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Fortunately, there is the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor."
"...Nine Nether Demon Ancestor?"
"I just lost my sweet little Lingwu. He lost a lot of things."
"Not only has the Tianhe Sect been destroyed, but now the Book of Life and Death is also going to be lost." The old man counted on his fingers, "This is great, the Zhuxian Sword Formation will also be lost."
Thinking of this, Zheng Fa felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, if I want to seize the Zhu Xian Formation Map, I may really have to thank Lu Yao?
If Lu Yao had not seized the Book of Life and Death and pinned down the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, the difficulty of gaining control of the Zhuxian Formation would have been more than ten times as great.
Tang Lingwu thought for a long time and muttered, "Then I guess the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor should be used to it, right?"
"..."
"You are definitely not my little Lingwu!"
……
"Confederate hacking contest?"
"No nationality restrictions, can you participate online? Just one question?"
"Can we form teams freely? Even communicate with each other?"
The Xiandao Confederation has been established for several years.
Although Zheng Fa did not intervene, the order of the entire modern world had undergone fundamental changes.
The most obvious ones are:
There are almost no more wars, and even small-scale conflicts are rare.
This is also determined by Zheng Fa's personality.
As the saying goes, if the leader likes something, the subordinates will follow suit. Although Zheng Fa seldom reveals his attitude, it is just like Team Leader Yang who would analyze Zheng Fa's resume over and over again in the past.
Think tanks from various countries have never stopped analyzing Zheng Fa.
His preferences, his ideas, and even his views on the world situation are no secret to many people:
Zheng Fa didn't care about these things. His control over the modern world made him not care about these things.
What's more, most of the disputes in the past were about the competition for resources and markets.
just now……
The most valuable resources are spiritual materials and spiritual veins, which are in the hands of the Confederation Research Institute.
The largest market is the Confederation.
Speaking of energy, a golden elixir is nearly endless energy - Hongshan's most important project now is to use new spiritual materials and spiritual veins to create external elixirs.
To some extent, the rules of the world have completely changed.
If we talk about the most worthy thing to fight for, there is actually only one:
Places at the Confederation Institute.
Now this inexplicable hacker competition has such a reward!
One can imagine the appeal of this competition.
……
Zheng Fa took Tang Lingwu into a conference room that was full of people.
Team leader Yang stepped forward quickly and explained, "I have invited all the experts and scholars in the fields of computers and mathematics to come here."
Zheng Fa took a quick look and saw bright reflections everywhere, and he immediately believed in the professionalism of this group of people.
Team leader Yang added: "The symbols you provided, Dean, are much more complicated than ordinary procedures."
"Some of them seem to be new algorithms that have never appeared before. Fortunately, you, Dean, have determined their functions."
I have to thank Senior Sister Zhang for this.
She worked day and night, and analyzed all the talismans that Zheng Fa had recorded in the sword formation without any omission.
With these data as a basis, experts in the modern world can analyze the program logic.
Zheng Fa nodded towards Team Leader Yang and looked at a familiar face in the conference room - this was a mathematician from the research institute who seemed to be quite proficient in computers and was considered a leader among this group of scholars.
He stood up and explained, "From analyzing these runes alone, we found seventy-eight possible loopholes."
"There's just one problem. These runes are not complete."
“Some of these loopholes may not be loopholes or may not work.”
It’s not that these people are incompetent.
But Zheng Fa did not have a complete battle formation diagram in his hands.
When analyzing, there is naturally a lot of speculation involved.
It is even hard to say whether any of these seventy-eight loopholes will be usable in the end.
He also held this hacker competition for this reason:
It doesn't mean that all the skilled programmers are among the people, but there are indeed many skilled programmers who are working in the industry. Some of them are unwilling to show up in public due to their personality and career reasons, and are only famous in a small circle.
On the other hand, he is not looking for a standard answer:
Because the talisman is incomplete, Zheng Fa has to find more loopholes, prepare more possible solutions, and then go back to Tianhe Sect to try them one by one.
The hacker competition format was suggested by this group of scholars.
There are many similar competitions in academia and industry, which are very effective, can provide more feasible ideas and are more efficient.
Tang Lingwu said at the side: "In fact, if we add the authority of the Immortal Sword, it may not be as difficult as we think."
Zheng Fa nodded: "I've thought about it. I don't need to surpass the authority of Jiuyou Demon Ancestor. I just need to have higher authority than others."
Of course, he wanted to seize the Zhuxian Sword Formation from the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
But this seems a bit difficult, after all, this thing has been in the hands of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor for an era.
Fortunately, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was restrained by Lu Yao and could not be distracted, and his control over the sword formation was not as good as before.
This is much less difficult.
In this case, if he could really seize the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Lu Yao would be worthy of a silk banner.
