Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - I Am Also a Millionaire Internet Celebrity

The next day at ten in the morning, after Elliot woke up, the first thing he did was check his points.

"Haha, 2 million points!"

Elliot was in a great mood. Next, he first spent 100,000 points to exchange for a super virus pack.

This virus pack contained thousands of various viruses.

He used this stuff to set traps.

Just like that, Elliot logged into a botnet and began setting traps, turning this botnet into a gambling den.

As long as someone stepped in, they would fall into the virus den.

At best, their computer would crash; at worst, all the files and data on their computer would be destroyed.

...

Summit City.

"Decryption failed!"

Gavin looked at the computer screen, leaning powerlessly against the back of his chair, his face full of exhaustion.

Last night, he copied a control program from Elliot's botnet and tried to crack the encryption algorithm within it.

He was busy all night, but failed.

Failure was normal.

Gavin didn't know that the encryption algorithm Elliot used was biological DNA encryption exchanged from the store.

The complexity of this encryption algorithm was far beyond his imagination.

To crack this kind of encryption algorithm, it required not only superb technology but also massive computing power.

At the very least, it would take a supercomputer of the level of "Frontier" to do it.

"Snap!"

Elliot snapped his fingers, and the trap was set.

Next, he just waited for the prey to take the bait.

Elliot logged into the botnet, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.

"Di di di!"

An ear-piercing alarm immediately sounded on Gavin's computer.

Gavin instantly became alert.

He knew that Little Boy was online.

Almost simultaneously.

"Di di di!"

The computer alarm also woke up Lucas, who was sleeping slumped over his computer desk.

Lucas quickly sat up, cheering up.

Little Boy was online.

"Crackling!"

Ten minutes later, Lucas successfully breached the first botnet.

Following that were the second and third...

"Di di di!"

The ear-piercing alarm sounded again.

"Not good!"

Lucas's expression changed, realizing that he had fallen into a trap.

A trap was set in the third botnet.

Countless virus programs, like a tide, surged into Lucas's computer.

"Damn it! So many viruses?!"

Lucas exclaimed, frantically banging on the keyboard, trying to stop the virus invasion.

However, it was all too late!

The virus programs instantly took over his computer.

"Fuck!"

Lucas let out a frustrated wail.

The next second, his computer screen turned blue.

...

In comparison, Gavin's technology was a bit more advanced than Lucas's.

He discovered the trap set by Elliot in time and took countermeasures.

However, there were simply too many viruses.

So many that the firewall couldn't withstand such a fierce attack.

"Ah, hell!"

Gavin shouted.

The computer blue-screened.

Gavin looked in disbelief at the computer screen that had turned blue.

In this round of confrontation, he was defeated.

However, Gavin quickly adjusted his mindset.

His skills were inferior; the opponent was indeed strong.

"Haha!"

Elliot looked at the screen and couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

Just after he went online, twenty to thirty IPs attacked him. Now, these attack signals retreated like a tide, disappearing without a trace.

The world was finally quiet.

Elliot got up, humming a song, and poured himself a glass of milk.

Returning to the computer, he leisurely drank his milk while opening the store and browsing various vulnerability tools.

For a top , nothing was more fascinating than vulnerabilities; they were the sharpest weapons in ' hands.

Elliot didn't hesitate to spend 1.2 million points to exchange for two five-star vulnerabilities.

Each five-star vulnerability was worth 600,000 points, which was much more expensive than the four-star vulnerabilities (300,000 points) he had exchanged before.

This wasn't even the highest; there were even higher-level in the store, each worth 5 million points.

That's right, you didn't read it wrong, it was 5 million points!

were hardware-level killing weapons that could cause devastating damage to electronic hardware, absolute big killers.

The two five-star vulnerabilities Elliot exchanged were one numbered targeting the Windows System, and the other .

As is well known, the world's computer operating systems are mainly divided into two major camps: one is the Windows System produced by NexusCorp, which dominates the personal computer market; the other is the open-source Linux System, which holds absolute dominance in the server market.

With these two five-star vulnerabilities, it was equivalent to all the computers in the world opening a door to Elliot, allowing him to enter and exit at will.

He still had 700,000 points left, which he would save.

Time flew by, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Elliot was about to go out for lunch when his phone suddenly rang. It was his roommate Leo, inviting him to eat together.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Elliot hung up the phone and, while walking out, searched for news about "Sweet Nina."

So many netizens reported Sweet Nina last night; he wondered how the situation was now?

He found it.

He saw it on the trending list.

Million-fan female streamer Sweet Nina suspected of tax evasion, reported by netizens.

"Hehe!"

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Elliot's mouth.

Getting on the trending list meant that this matter was already set in stone.

Grandma Nina, this is the consequence of offending a .

...

After the meal, Elliot returned to his rented room and continued to catch up on sleep.

It was the weekend today, so he didn't have classes.

The third-year courses were a piece of cake for him; it didn't matter whether he went or not.

He would only show up occasionally when attendance was called.

He slept until six in the evening.

After waking up, Elliot made something to eat for himself.

The clock pointed to seven o'clock.

Elliot sat in front of his computer and logged into the TrendTok backend.

<[TrendTok Profile: Little Boy]>

[Followers: 900,000]

He was just a little short of a million.

"Brother is also an internet celebrity now, hehe!" Elliot smiled.

He wasn't in a hurry to start streaming. He first observed the botnet network to see if there were any new attacks.

After waiting a few minutes, the network was calm as water, with no activity.

"It seems they learned their lesson this morning and chickened out," Elliot muttered to himself.

That's right, the trap he set this morning had badly tricked several .

He put on his mask and hood.

Elliot opened his live stream.

[Boss is live.]

[Haha, I got the front row!]

[Front row with popcorn and soda, waiting for the gossip.]

[Female streamers are trembling.]

[They're here, they're here!]

...

The live stream room was extremely popular, with thousands of people pouring in as soon as it started.

Elliot scanned around and didn't see any paid trolls... only a few trolls.

The paid trolls didn't come.

It was a bit of a shame.

Elliot hoped there would be paid trolls; they could bring a lot of popularity.

"Brothers, tonight, we'll continue to connect with female streamers. If you want to see which female streamer, just type her name on the public screen."

[Kiki UwU!]

[Kiki UwU! Kiki UwU!]

[@Boss, I want to see Kiki UwU!]

...

More than a dozen bullet comments appeared on the public screen @'ing a female streamer named 'Kiki UwU'.
