Chapter 16

Xia Linfei's first impression on Su Yuan was that she was beautiful yet wild, with a striking appearance and explosive energy, a fine steed that all men yearned to tame. However, as their interactions deepened, her image began to change, gradually developing a "domineering" aura. By now, Su Yuan felt she was quite domineering.

Daring and bold!

This was the real Xia Linfei.

Su Yuan didn't know why he had such a perception of her.

"Xia..."

"Didn't I tell you to call me Xia Jie? Did you forget again?"

"Xia Jie, do you have a boyfriend?"

Xia Linfei smiled slyly, "What, do you want to date me?"

"No."

Su Yuan felt his lips twitch. The good image of Xia Linfei in his mind was completely shattered. Oh heavens, could this woman, who looked like a top beauty, essentially be a tomboy?

Seemingly realizing she had lost her image in front of Su Yuan, Xia Linfei coughed lightly, "I was just joking. I'm actually quite reserved."

Would anyone believe that now? Su Yuan was speechless. Sure enough, Xia Linfei then revealed her true nature, "Let me tell you, I don't have a boyfriend yet. If you want to date me, you'd better act fast."

See, it took less than ten seconds for her to reveal herself. Su Yuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond!

"About that... let's talk about it later."

He thought Xia Linfei would be furious, but unexpectedly, her expression changed, and she smiled at him. Su Yuan suddenly found it interesting. They had only known each other for half a day, yet they were already discussing marriage. It was quite unusual.

The flyers were paid daily, without delay. After saving Xia Linfei's contact information on his phone, Su Yuan realized for the first time how easy it was to get a beautiful woman's contact details! He would definitely tell Ji Yehao and Gao Jun, who would be envious!

As dusk fell, the crowds gradually dispersed. The bustling traffic of the day quietly retreated, and the earth, after a day of scorching heat, finally got a chance to breathe. The chirping of insects replaced the rhythm of vehicles, and the entire park was immersed in the fragrant flowers and plants.

Room 330, Building 17.

"Hey, yes!!"

Ji Yehao looked up and saw Su Yuan, who was holding a phone, suddenly waving his fist, wondering what had gotten into him.

Su Yuan, with a lollipop in his mouth, was excitedly swiping on his cheap phone. He had just logged into the school's academic system and found out that the calculus makeup exam results were out, and he had scored 93 points.

If he had gotten this score at the end of the term, he would have been an excellent student! Unfortunately, it was a late bloomer, and this joy came a bit too late. It wasn't until the makeup exam that his wisdom had quietly opened.

"Did something good happen?" Ji Yehao asked curiously, seeing her smiling and full of passion.

"The makeup exam results are out, I got 93 points!"

"So high?" Ji Yehao was stunned, thinking she would be lucky to pass.

"Of course!" Su Yuan, like a proud peacock, threw an unopened lollipop at Ji Yehao, hitting him on the head. "From your tone, it seems you're surprised by my score?"

"How could I be...?" Ji Yehao laughed awkwardly and picked up the lollipop from the table.

"Go ahead, I bought it at the campus supermarket on the way back." Su Yuan, in a good mood, easily forgave Ji Yehao's disrespect.

Gao Jun was typing away, finally completing the last line of code.

"GOOD JOB! Done!!"

"How's it going? Did you finish the software?" Su Yuan leaned over to Gao Jun's computer.

"Of course, who do you think did it?" Gao Jun was full of confidence.

"Here, this is your reward." Su Yuan, who was fair in rewards and punishments, pulled out another lollipop from his pocket and asked, looking at the packaged software on the desktop, "How do I use this?"

"It's simple, let me show you."

Ji Yehao also leaned over. Under the attention of the two, Gao Jun clicked to run the software. A black bat window appeared on the screen, collecting computer information, and then a "capture" prompt appeared. Gao Jun entered "Y" to continue, then ran the genuine dial-up software, and the entire process was captured.

After the process was completed, Gao Jun closed the genuine software on the computer, copied the generated "text" to the corresponding directory, and said, "During the capture process, 50 pairs of 'genuine' network interface account passwords were generated. In theory, through the router, it can bypass the telecom monitoring and support 50 computers in the local network to go online."

Using the software to dial up.

The webpage in the browser opened smoothly, the test was successful!

Now they could go online. Su Yuan praised Gao Jun a few times, returned to his seat, and opened his computer to connect to the long-missed social network.

The information on the internet was vast and complex. Although it allowed people to stay informed about major events without leaving their homes, it was undeniable that much of the information was not close to reality, often processed or embellished with sensational "words."

To discern objective information, one needed the discernment of the recipient. As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise, but how many people reached the standard of wisdom?

Logging into the campus forum, there was a piece of gossip about a "senior student eating chilled watermelon while watching the freshmen's military training," a despicable incident. The "senior students" cursed the behavior of the parties involved, but their words also revealed a desire to try it themselves.

Another piece of news caused a significant stir on the campus forum. It was said that on the night of September 2nd, an extraterrestrial object visited Earth. Many astronomy enthusiasts in Binhe City captured a fireball streaking across the sky with their telescopes, and many posted that they heard a loud explosion.

This was quite a fresh event. Although small meteorites visit Earth every year, with about 5 to 10 incidents annually, it was unheard of in Binhe City. Some curious netizens investigated and found that, not just in Binhe City, but in the entire Donghai Province, there was only one incident in 1992 in Hai Zhou, Su Yuan's hometown.

Therefore, this low-probability meteorite visitation event in Binhe City attracted significant attention.

"The meteorite fell in Binhe City? Fortunately, it didn't fall on our school, or we would have had to stop classes." Su Yuan always treated such gossip as entertainment.

"It's not a meteorite, but a military satellite," Gao Jun shook his head, refuting Su Yuan's statement.

Su Yuan was surprised, "A satellite? But the internet says it's a meteorite..."

Ji Yehao said, "You can't believe everything on the internet. Gao Jun's father is a key researcher at a military institute, so he definitely knows the inside story."

Su Yuan suddenly understood, remembering Gao Jun's father's identity. Being in the technology field, he would know more than outsiders, especially since the incident happened in Binhe City. "Gao Jun, tell us more!"

Gao Jun nodded, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard my father on the phone. It's definitely a military satellite, but I don't know which country's. It fell in our city. The military quickly controlled the unburned components and dispatched an elite team for reverse engineering. My father is part of the technical team, and there's been no news yet."

"Do you think it's from which country?"

"Who knows!"

Gao Jun said mysteriously, "And did you know, even the 1992 incident was a satellite! An American one. The U.S. side argued with us for a long time and even sent special forces to take part of it back. Our higher-ups were furious, but it was during a leadership change, so the matter was suppressed."

"Ah! There was such a thing!"

This was a secret. Su Yuan never imagined that such an international incident had occurred in the city where she grew up.
