97 Controlling Tencent Corporation’s Server

99.6%… 99.7%…

The hacking progress on the big screen was slowly but steadily moving along.

Li Jinteng and Dr. Li Lin stared at the big screen with excitement and anticipation.

99.8%, 99.9%…

!!

“President Li, the source code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App will soon belong to Tencent Corporation.” Dr. Li Lin’s voice was filled with excitement. He had personally hacked at least 500 softwares.

However, there had never been any software that was as difficult to hack as the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

It took him almost two days.

However, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would ultimately fall in his hands.

“That’s right!” A happy smile appeared on Li Jinteng’s face. The performance of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was obvious to all. This was a world-leading technology. The encryption technology used by the App was also ahead of the times.

After Tencent Corporation laid hands on these two technologies, the company would become substantially more powerful.

By creating a similar virtual machine and tapping Tencent’s powerful market reach, the Divine Dragon Company Software would no longer exist.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

The big screen seemed to be stuck. It remained at 99.9% level.

“What’s going on? Is it stuck? Even a supercomputer can hang?” Li Jinteng asked Dr. Li Lin after seeing no progress despite having waited patiently for 10 minutes.

“President Li, it’ll be done soon, it’ll be done soon.” Li Lin kept typing lines of code, wanting to speed up the hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

“Done!” After entering the last line of code, Li Lin looked at the big screen with a smug smile.

At this moment, the progress on the big screen had finally reached 100%.

The icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App exploded on the big screen like a fireworks display.

Countless codes flashed across the big screen.

Lines of text flashed quickly.

“Hacking of the Divine Dragon Optimization App detected…”

“Divine Dragon Optimization App anti-hacking program activated…”

“Anti-hacking program has been successfully activated. Evidence of your attempt to hack the Divine Dragon Optimization App is being compiled…”

“System Control program successfully activated. Highest level controls of all computer equipment and systems in your company have been obtained…”

“Website hijack program successfully activated. Divine Dragon Optimization App promotion code successfully inserted into all websites. Promotion code has been successfully run…”

“Network control program successfully activated. Highest level controls of all management facilities and remote servers have been obtained…”

Under the big screen, Li Jinteng and Dr. Li Lin saw the notifications that kept refreshing on the big screen. Dr. Li Lin was so frightened by the content displayed on the big screen that he broke out in cold sweat. Li Jinteng’s pupils constricted and his heart almost stopped beating.

This was because the content displayed on the screen was too scary!

“Shameful! This is an insult!” Li Lin was not too flustered because he had already equipped his computer system with defense software.

On his computer, other than the most basic systems, only specific software could run on the computer.

The content displayed on the big screen looked scary, but it was only a scare tactic.

When Li Lin came back to his senses, he realized that all the content on the big screen was displayed through the system’s notepad application. There were no new programs running.

In fact, this was a very simple thing to do. As long as there was a batch file built into the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it could easily execute this program after it has been hacked.

“Li Lin, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that you will definitely succeed?” Li Jinteng recovered from his daze and screamed.

Li Jinteng shouted as he operated the computer in front of him. Although he believed that the content displayed on the big screen was just a scare tactic, he was worried and wanted to verify it.

The computer screen lit up.

A majestic golden dragon swam on the desktop.

The dragon was almost identical to the icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

Li Jinteng was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

“This… The company’s computer has really been hacked!”

“The content on the big screen is real…” Li Jinteng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt the chills all over his body. The content displayed on the big screen showed that it wasn’t just the computer that was hacked.

All the servers and websites were hacked, and the promotion code for the Divine Dragon Optimization App was added on them.

“Li Lin, what are you f*cking daydreaming about? The content displayed on the big screen is all true. Quickly call Niu Quan and ask him to deal with it immediately. Restore the company’s network, server, and computer equipment.”

“Huh? Really?” When Dr. Li Lin heard this, his eyes widened. He immediately verified it and placed his hand on the keyboard.

Then… there was no reaction from the computer.

“Oh my god, it’s actually true! My computer is being controlled!” Li Lin looked at the computer in front of him in disbelief.

He called Niu Quan in a panic.

While Li Lin was making the call, Li Jinteng picked up his phone and opened his chat software with trembling fingers.

After the software was activated, there was a beautiful golden dragon swimming around the frame.

The chat interface was also filled with animated divine dragons.

He gently clicked on divine dragon and was redirected to the download page of Divine Dragon Optimization App.

“It’s exactly the same as Baidu Corporation’s software!” Li Jinteng said with a trembling voice.

Then, he opened each and every one of Tencent Corporation’s apps, one after another. There was a divine dragon swimming in every mobile app. It was extremely eye-catching.

“So, we were all wrong!” At this moment, Li Jinteng finally understood that Baidu Corporation’s experience was definitely similar to that of Tencent Corporation’s.

...

“The same thing happened to Baidu Corporation. Their server, network, and computer equipment have also been controlled by the Divine Dragon Optimization App!”

In just a short while, Tencent Corporation’s internet and systems experts all rushed over.

Then, they tried everything, but just couldn’t regain control of the computer.

They couldn’t regain control of the server!

They couldn’t regain control of the website!

“President Li, call the police. Try to get the police’s technical experts to take action and see if they can identify the hacker.” Niu Quan was the person-in-charge of Tencent Corporation’s network. He spoke solemnly after having tried all means.

“No, now that the hackers have controlled all our data and even the backup server, if we call the police and antagonize him, he will delete the files and cause irreversible damage to our company.” Li Jinteng rejected the idea without a second thought.

“President Niu, the current situation is not caused by the hackers. This is what happened…” Dr. Li Lin told him about hacking into the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

“President Li, we’ve tried everything just now. I think we’ll have the same outcome even if we invited others over.” Niu Quan was used to hacking. What surprised him was the anti-hacking methods of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. It was simply terrifying.

Niu Quan thought for a moment and reported to Li Jinteng.

“Actually, this matter is very simple to deal with!”

...

“The first method is to cut off all the company’s networks and reinstall a system on all the servers again.”

“However, doing so will have very serious consequences. All our company’s products will malfunction when we cut off the network and reset the system. The chat software and games can’t be accessed. This will have a huge impact on our company.”

“Furthermore, we might not be able to eliminate the virus software of the Divine Dragon Optimization App even if we use this method of disconnecting the network and reinstalling the operating system,” Niu Quan said seriously.

Zhou Linlin, the system security expert who came over together, unplugged a normal computer and began to reset the system.

“The other safest way is to let the developer of the Divine Dragon Optimization App solve this problem.”

“He that hides can find. If the people from Divine Dragon Software Company come, our company’s virus software will be wiped out very quickly.”

Niu Quan looked at Li Jinteng. “If President Li leads a team to mediate with Divine Dragon Software Company, I think they will definitely accede to your request.”

Li Jinteng looked at Zhou Linlin. “Let’s wait for Zhou Linlin to reload the system and see if we can get rid of the virus first.”

“If we can get rid of the virus, there will be no need to contact the people from the Divine Dragon Software Company.” Li Jinteng’s voice was cold. He was indeed in the wrong for hacking the Divine Dragon Optimization App and causing the company to be invaded by the virus.

However, the Divine Dragon Software Company was also too much. They seized control of Tencent Corporation’s server, software, and website and inserted their App’s promotion program, making Tencent Corporation promote their App for free.

Li Jinteng had never suffered such a huge loss in his life. He was indignant.

He had already resolved that when this matter has been settled, he will garner all resources to wipe Divine Dragon Software Company off the face of earth.

How was it possible for him to have to capitulate to a 17-year-old young man?
