Chapter 479
Ying Zigui’s expression grew grave.
This attack technique was the same as the attack on Norton University and the venus group, both were sudden attacks.
However, it was even stronger than the previous two.
It was quite a good look for her.
Ying Zidian finished typing a program and pressed confirm.
The progress bar got stuck at this moment and did not move next.
However, the other side obviously had several people attacking her together, trying to decode her IP address.
The ip addresses on the nok forum were all dynamic, so they had been difficult to decode.
As one of the four founding numbers, her account was even more difficult to decode.
Time pa*sed by, and the progress bar that was stuck began to vibrate again.
“Ying Shen, here!” At this point. Ji Li ran in panting, “I’ve turned it on.”
“Trouble.” Ying Ziyi took it, quickly opened the computer and connected it to the phone using Bluetooth.
The girl’s long, slender fingers danced on the keyboard so fast that the computer’s response speed couldn’t even keep up with her tapping speed.
It was only after she finished typing a line of code that it slowly began to appear on the computer.
Ying Ziji faded: “Too slow.”
Ji Li looked dizzy, and she didn’t recognise many of the characters.
She also knew that this was not an area she could cover and went to the side to continue her experiment.
Half an hour later, the blacked-out phone screen finally came back on.
A window popped up.
[Safe].
Ying Ziji let out a slow breath.
The other side was very targeted, but with her special ability, divine calculation, she was able to know where the other side would attack next.
So she was able to set up her defence points in advance.
By the time the other side went to attack, she was already defending the next one.
It would have been useless if the other person had been replaced by someone else, no matter how skilled the computer was.
Ying Ziji rubbed her brow, got up and left the lab.
Her eyelashes drooped and she tapped a series of numbers with little expression, logged into the lnok forum with her phone and opened the friends bar.
There were only five people in the friends section of the account Divine Reckoner.
Apart from Cesar Laurent, the official number of Norton University, and 10, the remaining two friends were the other two founding numbers of the nok forum.
Only, these two numbers were always greyed out and never went online.
Ying tapped on 10’s avatar.
[Divine Reckoner]: Spam.
[10]: ????
[10]: Elder Divine Reckoner, what’s wrong with me? What are you cursing me for? No, you’re actually swearing?
[The Divine Reckoner]: I said, your forum is rubbish, I was attacked and my ip address was almost decoded.
[10]: !!!
[10]: Attacked you?
[10]: Impossible, I made the system, using not only computer technology, but also my special ability, how high the concealment is don’t you know? The hallmark of the Hidden Alliance is the word “hidden”.
[10]: Your own concealment ability is strong, and I help you cover up, who can attack you?
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
[10]: ……
[10]: I’m rolling to reinforce!
[10]: Dad, after reinforcement, do you think I still have a chance?
Ying didn’t reply. She exited the nok forum and fell into deep thought.
There were many people checking her out, which batch would it be?
**
Meanwhile.
Somewhere on Earth.
“Bang!”
A young man slammed his fist on the table, his expression all a bit fierce: “I thought the Divine Reckoner was an old man? Why is it still able to counterattack? How do you guys do things?”
It was so close that they were able to track down the Divine Reckoner’s location.
As long as they knew where the Divine Reckoner was, they could immediately leave the city and bring the Divine Reckoner back.
Even if the Divine Reckoner didn’t listen to them, they still had many ways to do so.
As long as the Divine Reckoner came to them, no one in the world could find it.
The few people in front of the computer fell to their knees in fear: “My Lord, spare my life!”
“What a waste.” The young man calmed his anger a little, “The signal in the city is now cut off from the outside world, we’ll have to wait until the next time it opens, all of you get out!”
“We have to find out next time!”
A few people rolled and ran out.
The young man still couldn’t calm down as he had always been confident that their level of technology was far superior to any other place in the world.
Not even Norton University could compare.
However, the last time a family with an axe to grind with the Divine Reckoner had asked them to borrow someone to attack Norton University to find out the trajectory of the Divine Reckoner, it had failed.
Then they invaded the venus group themselves and tried to open the p4 biosecurity lab to release the virus on Earth, and that didn’t work either.
This is the third time.
Another failure.
The young man clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead jumping.
No matter what, they had to find the Divine Reckoner, it was very important to their plan.
**
The following day.
Morning.
International Virus Centre.
In the president’s office.
“President.” The secretary up knocked on the door and walked in, “A paper and information on a new virus has been handed over from the Kee family.”
“A new virus?” The president paused and looked up from his computer, “It’s been matched with all the viruses in the virus database?”
There were two types of virus databases.
One was open to all labs, and the other was internal.
The latter was completely inaccessible to the general public.
“It’s been matched.” The secretary nodded, “But the internal virus bank hasn’t been matched yet.”
“Then the matching will begin now.” The president nodded, “It shouldn’t be any new virus.”
Even ibi hadn’t found any new viruses in a while, could the Kee family?
The secretary responded and quickly started matching in the virus database.
A few minutes later, the secretary spoke, “President, it’s indeed not a new virus, it’s the Chiara virus, with a grade C.”
A grade c meant that the virus was not very strong.
The death poison mist was also in the internal virus bank, with a grade of s.
It was highly damaging and highly contagious.
The president faded: “Then send it back.”
He remembered that the Ji family hadn’t sent papers directly like this before, they would always ask the international virus centre to match them first.
Why was it so impulsive this time?
The secretary responded and retreated.
The president proceeded to work on the mock-up on his computer until a message popped up.
The source was from the nok forum.
[Please take a pill]: Man, I’ve sold enough sunscreen, can I come to your organization for some fun?
[Buy you a pill]: Hey, I don’t want any special position either, how about giving me a front desk? Let me see the good looking ladies.
The president’s eyelids fluttered and he took a deep breath.
If he could, he really didn’t want to pay attention to this snake-bitten Third Poisoner.
But the Third Poison Master was indeed very strong.
With the Third Poisoner, they were able to determine the ingredients of death poison mist as soon as possible.
[Come on, there just happens to be a poison that needs your analysis.]
**
The other side.
Ying Zidian finished the last step of the experiment.
She went to the inner courtyard with Wen Fengmian and Ji Li to hand in the experiment.
This alerted all the vice-presidents of the inner courtyard, and even the dean himself came.
The entire Inner Academy had concluded that the experiment was absolutely impossible to complete, which was why they had obeyed Ji Yi Yuan’s suggestion and handed the mess over to Wen Fengmian.
Once Wen Fengmian failed, he would be able to smoothly push him out to take the blame.
“Fengmian.” The dean walked over, “How did you make this experiment?”
Wen Fengmian smiled faintly, “Sorry, Dean, this is a personal secret, the Ji family only look at the results, don’t they?”
The dean was choked for a moment and could only retreat: “What about the experiment materials? Did you buy the experimental materials?”
Wen Fengmian blandly: “Substitutes.”
The dean was blocked from saying anything and could only nod: “Then we will deliver the results of the experiment to the O Continent.”
Two a*sistants stepped forward and carefully filled the potion bottle in Wen Fengmian’s hand.
On the side, Ji Yiyuan snorted coldly.
He really did not believe that Wen Fengmian could succeed without the experimental materials.
When the research institute over in O Continent got it, that was when Wen Fengmian’s original form would be revealed.
“The reply will take a few days.” The dean spoke, “You’re a genius of the Ji family, I’ve always believed in you, it’s not a matter for you and your daughter to keep living in someone else’s house.”
He took out a set of keys, “The family has allocated you a villa, if you succeed in this experiment and your merit points recover, you will be able to have more resources.”
Wen Fengmian took it, “Yao Yao, Xiao Li, let’s go.”
“Beat what? Don’t go yet.” A cold voice came out, “I’m looking for you too, Ying Ziyuan.”
Ji Yiyuan’s expression lifted, “Miss Yan.”
Yan Ruoxue walked in on her high heels, holding her computer, “Didn’t you say the c-virus had been discovered? It just so happens that the International Virus Centre has read my email and replied.”
“I came with you to see how ridiculous your words are.”
Ying Zidian was on his feet and looked slightly sideways.
Yan Ruoxue wasted no time in setting the computer on the table.
In front of the deans and vice-deans, she clicked on the latest unread email.
Chapter 480
Yan Ruoxue was confident.
She had dealt with the people of the International Virus Centre and knew that their style was always ruthless.
If her new discovery had not been recognised, the International Virus Centre would not have even bothered.
Since the International Virus Centre had replied to her, it must have entered her discovery of the c-virus into the virus database.
So after she received the email, she immediately came to the inner courtyard.
As soon as Ji Li saw Yan Ruoxue, her heart was filled with disgust.
She tugged at the girl’s sleeve and lowered her voice: “Ying Shen, she’s doing it again on purpose.”
“At ease.” Ying Ziji yawned, weary and lazy, “See.”
If the International Virus Centre really did treat the c-virus as a new discovery, she was going to doubt the Fifth Poisoner’s ability.
The dean also knew about the c-virus and was concerned about it.
A new discovery could bring a lot of glory to the Kee family.
He leaned closer to read the words on the computer screen.
[The c-virus discovered by your party has been recorded in the internal virus database, please be careful not to make this mistake again in the future, Kee family].
Attached below the email was a pair of screenshots.
The screenshot was a sentence from the email sent by Yan Ruoxue.
[Please ask the International Virus Center to admit the c-virus as soon as possible, one second later and you will lose a lot.]
So in response to the screenshot of this chapter, the email also specifically mentioned one sentence –
[This reply is a reminder that the International Virus Center will be happy to work with the Kee family in the future, but please be careful.
It just about says “Don’t be arrogant”.
“Wow.” Professor Yan, you’re already better than the International Virus Centre.”
The dean’s face also sank, his voice lightened a bit: “Professor Yan, you’ve gone too far this time, what’s going on?”
Before the twentieth century, domestic scientific research was still a bit behind.
Now with the Imperial University, it had begun to solidify and be ahead of its time.
The Ji family’s international standing has only risen in this decade.
There are also many family powers in the same field as the Ji family on the o-continent, just waiting to catch the Ji family in the wrong
Mistaking what has been discovered as a new discovery is not really something that has happened, there have been many before.
But it was the first time that the dean had ever seen someone who had written such a well-written paper and said that it was their loss if the International Virus Centre did not record her discovery of the c-virus.
He knew that Yan Ruoxue was used to being arrogant, but this time he was really angry and laughed.
Yan Ruo Xue was indeed powerful and the Inner Academy basically obeyed her in everything.
But when it came to the honour of the Ji family, everything had to be done according to the rules.
Hearing these words, Yan Ruoxue’s body stiffened.
She looked at the email reply incredulously and also panicked: “Dean, I ……”
The International Virus Centre would reply to her, so it was because they were provoked by her words?
But she didn’t think anything was wrong when she wrote it, she was used to being tough and that’s what she wrote.
If she had known it would be like this, she should have asked someone else to check it again for her and delete the sentence with the strong tone.
“Professor Yan, I don’t know if the International Virus Centre has lost anything.” The dean interrupted her, “But you certainly have losses, Vice President Liu.”
To the side, Vice Dean Liu, who was in charge of the merit list, stepped forward, “Dean.”
“Look at the regulations.” The dean said, “How many merits will be deducted from Professor Yan for this one mistake.”
Yan Ruoxue looked up sharply, “Dean!”
“Professor Yan, please remember.” The dean was unmoved, “The Ji family, surnamed Ji.”
After Vice Dean Liu finished checking, he spoke, “According to the 14th rule, two thousand merit points need to be deducted.”
The dean waved his hand, “Then deduct it.”
Yan Ruoxue’s face turned slightly white, and a drop of cold sweat rose on her back.
One thousand merit points was not a small amount, and she had to do an A-grade experiment to get them.
But an a-level experiment could take as little as three months, or as much as three years.
She was on the threshold of 20,000 merit points, and being deducted so much would waste a lot of time.
Ying Ziji stuck one hand in his pocket and nodded slightly, “I’ve finished reading, you’re quite ridiculous.”
This time, Yan Ruoxue didn’t get to speak.
She also lost her earlier arrogance, and her face was burning with pain.
Without even raising her head, Yan Ruoxue picked up her computer, stumbled a little on her feet and left in a huff.
Ying Ziyi turned around, “Dad, let’s go.”
“Serves you right.” Ji Li grunted under his breath, “Let her be proud, won’t she fall on her face now?”
There were many people internationally who were more powerful than Yan Ruoxue and knew how to curb their sharpness.
Wen Fengmian just smiled.
He had never been worried about Ying Ziyi’s learning problems.
She was a good learner, and she was serious about learning.
In such matters, he only trusted Ying Zigian.
The dean hesitated for a moment, but called out to the girl: “Miss Ying, how did you know that the c-virus had been discovered?”
Ying Ziyi didn’t stop this time, but replied back, “Read more, sleep early, don’t go bald.”
“……”
Killing people to death.
The dean had hit a wall with Wen Fengmian and was even more blocked from saying anything with Ying Zidian, so he could only see them out.
“It seems we underestimated the isc finals champion’s ability.” The dean sighed, “Originally I thought this was a theoretical knowledge competition, at most at the level of a university student, but I didn’t expect her learning to be truly bountiful.”
After all, with so many people in the Ji family, there were quite a few professors who didn’t know that the c-virus had been discovered a long time ago.
Hearing this, two of the vice deans glanced at each other and both raised their guard.
I’m afraid that Wen Fengmian is really going to regain her former status when she returns this time.
**
The three of them left the inner courtyard.
Although Ji Li was quite relieved, she was still a bit worried: “Yan Ruoxue was able to block our family’s experimental material channels because I didn’t go to her experiments, this time she’s P*ssed off, she won’t be looking for something again, right?”
Ying Zigui blandly: “Let her look for it and beat the gopher.”
Ji Li, who didn’t understand at all: “???”
Wen Fengmian coughed twice and smiled faintly, “What your cousin means is that she pops up and hits back until she’s killed, the process is pleasant and the result is comfortable.”
Ji Li: “……”
Ying Zidian: “……”
Although she did mean that, why did it always feel strange when her dad explained it like that?
“Yao Yao, the experiment has come to an end, you should also get some rest.” Wen Fengmian nodded, “It’s been a long time since you’ve seen Yun Shen, right? Go and meet him, young people should be more active.”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji paused, “I’ll go back and get some sleep first.”
Yesterday, after Fu Yunshen had asked to sleep with her, he did come over.
But when he came over, she had already let Wen Fengmian and Ji Li go to stay in the guest room next to the lab, and she was the only one who continued to do experiments in the lab.
So this was something that Wen Fengmian didn’t know about yet.
But in the end she didn’t sleep either, and she listened to the story all night.
Ji Li suddenly stopped and pointed at the big screen at the entrance, excited: “Ying Shen, look, the merit list has changed.”
The merit list showed the top 100.
Yan Ruoxue was originally 49th, but now she had receded to 64th after having a thousand merit points deducted backwards.
The further up the list, the greater the difference in merit points.
There was a difference of 50,000 merit points between the first and second places.
Ying Zigui looked up and swept a glance: “What use is there for the merit list?”
“Let the people of this family look at it.” The one who opened his mouth was Wen Fengmian, who was faint, “The higher the merit points, the more things the Ancient Martial World side will give, including some Ancient Martial and Ancient Medical resources.”
Ancient martial arts had a portion of moves that could be refined without internal energy.
But again, these moves would not be pa*sed on outside.
Ying Ziji pondered, “Ancient medical resources?”
“Ah, this I know.” Ji Li nodded, “This side of the family places a lot of importance on the biochemistry piece, as they want to see if they can match the ancient medicine with their high tech techniques.”
Ancient martial arts families didn’t like to use outside high technology, but not without it.
The Ling family was, and so was the Ji family.
There were many ancient martial arts families, hundreds of them, big and small.
But one could count the number of ancient medical families on ten fingers.
So not every ancient martial arts family had the ability to ally with an ancient medicine family.
The Ji family does not, and whenever something happens, it is very inconvenient to ask an ancient doctor, so they focus on scientific research.
Yan Ruoxue’s postgraduate transformation, coupled with the fact that she was actually able to condense her internal energy, made the Ji family pay even more attention.
“So.” Ying Zigui nodded slightly, “I’m afraid not.”
The only people who could be on par with ancient doctors were alchemists and poisoners.
Both of these were the same as the Gua calculation, it was all about talent.
“Who knows.” Ji Li spread his hands, “Anyway, with my merit, I guess I won’t get a summons from this family for the rest of my life.”
Ying Zigui turned his head, “You want to go to the Ancient Martial World?”
“A bit.” Ji Li scratched her head, “I’m curious, and I especially want to know what the Ancient Martial World is like.”
“The Ancient Martial World is not much different from the ancient times, the houses inside are also ancient and they fight and kill every day.” Ying’s voice eased, “Don’t go to the Ji family either, the Ji family isn’t good either.”
Ji Li was stunned, “Ying Shen, could it be that you ……”
She suddenly recalled the day Ji Yiyuan sent someone with two ancient martial artists to barge into the house, those two ancient martial artists had launched into a sheepish fit for no reason and the crisis had come into contact then.
Now it seemed that it must be something that Ying Ziyuan had done.
Ji Li was in a trance and thought of a slogan from the superlatives.
Ying Shen, she is all-powerful.
**
Three days later, a reply came from the o-continent.
It proved that the potion Wen Fengmian had finally made was even more effective than they had imagined, and sent some supplies specifically to the Ji family.
The Inner House was so happy that they not only restored Wen Fengmian’s status, position and all his merit points, but also added another three thousand.
Now on the merit list, Wen Fengmian was at the forty-third position.
Ying Ziji and Ji Li, as one of the experimental members, also both got their respective merit points.
When Ji Yiyuan learnt about this, he was once again furious, so angry that he slapped the table, “D*mn, I can’t believe that even Miss Yan couldn’t clean up after them, what a way to let them get lucky.”
Moreover, Yan Ruoxue had clearly asked Manuel to block the channel of Ji Yihang’s experimental materials, but Ji Yihang actually still got the experimental materials, it was unbelievable.
Ji Yiyuan was even more furious: “If we let that Ji Yihang experiment succeed again, it will be really bad.”
For many years, he had always wanted to expel Ji Yihang’s faction from the Ji family.
“Dad, I have an idea.” Ji Yundong thought for a moment, “Didn’t the side of this family send you two invitations to the auction?”
Ji Yiyuan frowned, “What?”
“I remember that there is a medicine on the auction list that has the power to cure quite a few diseases.” Ji Yundong said, “Isn’t Ji Yihang’s old man, the one with the disease? And it can’t be cured at the moment.”
“Dad, you tell Ji Yihang to withdraw from the experiment, then you give him the invitation, it’s enough that we have one invitation anyway.”
Ji Yiyuan’s expression lifted, “Not bad, Yun Dong, you’re still good.”
After saying that, he flipped out the invitation card and then immediately went to find Ji Yihang.
**
At this time, Ji Yihang was still doing his experiments.
Ji Yi Yuan’s arrival made him raise his guard, “Ji Yi Yuan, what kind of tricks are you trying to play again?”
“I’m not playing tricks, I’m delivering something to you, do you know about the Ancient Martial World’s annual auction?” Ji Yiyuan shook the invitation in his hand, “There is an auction item that can cure your old man’s illness, how about this, you apply for the failed experiment and I will give you the invitation to the auction, how about that?”
“You don’t want to see your old man die early, do you? If he dies, do you think you alone can still protect your wife?”
Because of her looks, Madame Ji had been looked at by a member of the Ancient Martial World’s own family.
But since Madam Ji’s father had done a lot for the Ji family anyway, the family had not moved, but that member had never died.
The family has always been aware of this matter and has not allowed Madam Ji to go to places where there are fewer people.
With many people, the ancient martial artists would not show themselves in order to hide their secrets.
Ji Yihang’s eyes were red: “Ji Yiyuan!”
“Don’t you see that your niece has gotten merit points once she returned to the Ji family.” Ji Yiyuan tsked, “It’s really quite impressive, but do you think she can give you an invitation to the Ancient Martial World Auction?”
