Chapter 59 - Chapter 59 - 10 Million Points Super Virus "Volcano"

The elevator arrived very quickly.

Zack walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the 3rd floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, stepping out of the elevator led directly to the door of unit 304.

Zack took out his key and opened the door.

Walking into the room—

The next second, Zack turned around, wanting to run away.

It was already too late.

"You must be Zack?"

Inside the room, four cyber police officers were standing.

On the sofa in the living room sat a young woman, her head hanging low and not saying a word.

"Click!"

A pair of cold handcuffs were clamped onto Zack's wrists.

The live broadcast screen cut off here.

The last image Strong-zun left for the netizens was a dumbfounded expression.

[Hahaha... Strong-zun's expression is too hilarious. *laugh-cry*]

[Fantastic! Fantastic! It was truly fantastic!]

[It was even more thrilling than a police and gangster blockbuster!]

[If he had known this day would come, why did he do it back then? Strong-zun must be regretting it to death, knowing this would be the outcome. He shouldn't have called to threaten the streamer.]

[Streamer Godlike.]

[Streamer, you're amazing!]

[This is the power of a top-tier .]

...

The bullet comments in the live stream room exploded.

The number of online viewers reached 150,000, once again breaking Elliot's live broadcast record.

Unknowingly, he had been live streaming for three hours.

Elliot looked up and glanced out the window; the setting sun had already dropped below the mountains.

"Brothers, Strong-zun has taken his bow, and today's live stream ends here."

Elliot casually bid farewell.

[Ah, it's ending already?]

[Streamer, keep streaming for a bit longer, we haven't watched enough yet!]

[When will you start streaming tomorrow? What time?] ...

"Hmm... I should start streaming around the same time tomorrow. I'll post an announcement in advance. Bye-bye, brothers!"

Elliot waved at the camera and turned off the live stream.

He couldn't stream for too long.

In the evening, he still had more important things to do, which was to continue "teasing" Solaria.

The game with the 301st Electronic Warfare Squadron was not over yet.

Elliot opened the and checked his points: 63 million.

This live stream brought him 1 million points.

Of course, this couldn't compare to the earnings from a job done by "Joker".

The "Little Boy" TrendTok account's strength lay in its steady, long-term, safe, and stable income, whereas the work done by "Joker" was like dancing on the tip of a knife.

With so many points, should he keep saving them, or exchange them for some good stuff?

He needed to keep saving, saving up 200 million to exchange for a quantum computer or a powerful Artificial Intelligence.

Both were epoch-making technological products with infinite potential.

Various tools also needed to be exchanged to increase his strength.

So, he would keep 50 million points untouched and use the remaining 13 million points to exchange for some good things.

As for what to exchange for, Elliot already had an idea in mind.

"System, exchange for the 'Volcano' virus code."

Elliot said to the .

The "Volcano" virus was a super virus targeting mainstream commercial and military series CPUs.

It could exploit the of excessive CPU operating voltage to cause permanent damage to computer hardware.

This originated from an error in the processor's microcode algorithm, which would send inappropriate voltage requests to the processor, causing the CPU to overheat or even burn out.

And the global computer chip market was basically monopolized by a few major corporations.

In other words, the Volcano virus could paralyze over 90% of the world's computers; its power was comparable to a nuclear weapon, and the exchange price was as high as 10 million points.

[Confirm exchange for 'Volcano', deduct 10 million points, remaining points 53 million.]

The 's voice said emotionlessly.

An encrypted compressed package appeared on Elliot's computer desktop.

This was the "Volcano" virus.

Opening the compressed package, inside were a virus toolkit, a documentation file, and the virus source code.

Elliot opened the source code file; the dense code made his eyes dizzy.

It would take some time to finish reading over ten thousand lines of code.

"Let's test it first and see just how powerful it is."

Elliot thought to himself, got up, walked to the bed, pulled out a box from under the bed, opened it, and took out an old laptop from inside.

He connected the power and turned it on.

Then, Elliot copied the "Volcano" virus to the laptop and directly activated the virus.

The next second, the laptop screen instantly went black.

Elliot tapped the keyboard, but there was no response.

The CPU fan was still spinning, and it spun faster and faster, making a "buzzing" noise.

Elliot touched the bottom of the laptop with his hand and felt the temperature rising rapidly.

In less than thirty or forty seconds, the laptop emitted a puff of black smoke.

"Holy crap!"

Elliot was startled and quickly unplugged the power.

He even thought the laptop was going to catch fire.

Black smoke was still continuously coming out.

Without even looking, he knew that this laptop was completely scrapped.

"Awesome!"

Elliot looked at the smoking laptop and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The "Volcano" virus truly lived up to its reputation.

It could cause abnormal CPU voltage, leading to a sharp rise in temperature, then a black screen, burnout, and in severe cases, it could even burn through the motherboard.

As expected from the 's product, it was powerful.

Volcano was simply a "nuclear bomb" level weapon.

If it were released onto the internet indiscriminately, computers worldwide could potentially be destroyed.

This was no different from a disaster affecting the global internet.

Such a "great killer weapon" shouldn't be used lightly.

Elliot originally wanted to use it to deal with the 301st Electronic Warfare Squadron and give Solaria a taste of its own medicine.

But he decided against it.

Why use an ox cleaver to kill a chicken?

To deal with the 301st Electronic Warfare Squadron, he had plenty of methods and didn't need to use "Volcano".

At the very least, a scene like "4.18" would be worth using "Volcano" for.

Elliot put the laptop away and set it aside.

Continue exchanging.

"System, exchange for the AstraLink Satellite Network Super Administrator account."

Owning a satellite was a dream Elliot had had for a long time.

Just imagine, how cool would it be for a to own a satellite?

Of course, to fully own a satellite, he would need at least 50 million points, which was far from enough.

Elliot settled for the next best thing and exchanged for a super administrator account for the AstraLink Company's satellite network, which only required 2 million points.

However, using the super administrator account carried risks.

If used too many times, it might be discovered by the satellite company, leading to the account being blocked.

He could only use it for now.

Being a little careful and cautious, there shouldn't be too many problems.

[Host exchanged for 'AstraLinkk Satellite Network Super Administrator account', deducting 2 million points, remaining points 51 million.]

The 's voice sounded again.

AstraLink was a massive commercial satellite company in the United Federation.

Its satellite network consisted of 180 satellites covering the globe, providing satellite navigation and mobile network communication services to hundreds of countries worldwide.
