8 min read1,930 words

The computers and local area network in the school are actually maintained by a few computer teachers on a part-time basis. If there are problems that the teachers can't solve, they would call a professional maintenance company to handle it.

During this period, the Halloween virus was spreading wildly on the internet, and the few computer teachers naturally knew about it long ago. So they immediately adjusted the security policies and temporarily disabled the download function of the school network.

Without the ability to download files, the chances of getting infected would be reduced to the minimum.

Therefore, these few days have passed smoothly without any infection by the so-called Halloween virus.

However, today, for some unknown reason, the school suddenly got infected with the Halloween virus. The teachers received a call and immediately rushed to the computer room to check the server.

The server had already been infected, and the image of the Halloween virus looked so ironic.

With the technical skills of the few computer teachers, they couldn't handle this crazy virus. Just as they were about to call the professional company, something surprising happened.

The server started to kill the virus and reboot itself, then automatically ran and began to clean the virus from the entire local area network... This could only mean one thing: a skilled expert was remotely controlling the server.

In other words, the server was hacked, and the hacker, surnamed Lei, not only did no harm but also helped to kill the virus. That's how the situation was.

Not long after the incident, they received feedback and thanks, even the school leadership called to say that they handled it well.

However, they knew that they hadn't done anything. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they didn't have the time.

They thought, "Thank goodness for this expert who acts like a living Lei Feng. We just don't know who he is or why he helped the school. Could he be a hidden expert in the school?"

Zhang Qiu said he had killed the viruses on all the computers, and at first, no one believed him. Then a teacher from the next room said, "Our computers suddenly got better. How about yours?"

"They're better too..." Mr. Huang replied somewhat dazedly. After answering, he remembered what Zhang Qiu had said. At first, it seemed unbelievable, but now it felt like a dream.

They couldn't believe that Zhang Qiu's computer skills were so strong. He had fixed all the computers in the school so quickly.

"Good, good! It seems the few computer teachers in the school are quite capable!" The teacher from the next room sighed and prepared to go back to class.

Mr. Huang almost blurted out, "What capability? This is all thanks to my student!"

Being able to have such an outstanding student made him feel proud and he couldn't resist showing off.

What is the greatest pleasure and sense of achievement for a teacher? Isn't it to have a few outstanding students? Having many talented students is a wish, and having a few exceptional ones is a wish within a wish.

Even if this student's success has little to do with him, he still felt honored because he had taught him.

However, at this moment, Zhang Qiu suddenly said, "Teacher, if the school asks, I hope you can keep it a secret. I'm about to take the college entrance exam and don't want to draw attention."

Mr. Huang then held back his words and nodded, "Alright. Zhang Qiu, you're great. You have the skills and know how to be humble. You're a good student."

Killing the virus on one computer might not seem impressive to everyone, but to clear the virus from all the computers in the school, and to do it while standing in front of just one computer, is something even non-technical people would find amazing.

The less technical knowledge someone has, the more likely they are to have a "high, grand, and superior" or "though I don't understand, it seems impressive" feeling, making Zhang Qiu's skills seem even more magical.

The whole class was stunned.

"Damn! Zhang Qiu is like a dog that doesn't bark until it bites!" a jealous boy said.

"Hey, that's called 'not making a sound until it's a big bang.' What a lousy metaphor!" a classmate next to him immediately rebutted.

"Are you going to tell your family that? Zhang Qiu is really impressive now. Be careful, he might beat you up after school! I heard that the tall and strong PE committee member was beaten by him at noon."

The girls' eyes were all drawn to Zhang Qiu, their heads following his steps until he sat down.

"Alright, we've wasted enough time. Let's start the class. We should thank Zhang Qiu. Of course, we should also thank the first student who stood up. Everyone should be brave enough to face difficulties. Only by standing up can we hope to solve them." After a few words, the teacher opened the presentation and started the class.

After class, many people gathered around Zhang Qiu, mostly girls. Over the past few days, Zhang Qiu's presence had added some color to the monotonous high school life.

After scoring 100% on the dictation, some curious classmates wanted to ask Zhang Qiu for the secret to improving their grades, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

That evening, the head teacher suddenly called Zhang Qiu, and then personally asked for a day off for him, which made people even more curious.

When the news that Zhang Qiu was taken away by the police for alleged sexual harassment came back, everyone finally knew about him and couldn't ignore him anymore. When the beautiful police officer personally brought him back and cleared his name, it further fueled everyone's curiosity.

At this point, many people's curiosity about Zhang Qiu was at a critical point. However, this usually low-key boy was so unfamiliar to them that many girls were still holding back their curiosity.

Today, Zhang Qiu fixed all the computers in the school, once again igniting everyone's curiosity. Many people, especially the girls with strong curiosity, couldn't hold back and gathered around to chat with him.

"Zhang Qiu, how did you suddenly become so amazing? We've been classmates for two years, but it feels like we just met!"

"Right! I have the same feeling. Zhang Qiu used to be too low-key."

"I feel like Zhang Qiu has changed. He didn't used to have this kind of aura or look this handsome."

"Right! He even seems to have more muscle! No wonder he can save the day!" The girl who said this even boldly pinched Zhang Qiu's arm, feeling his muscles and letting the others see how solid they were.

Zhang Qiu, though not looking particularly strong, had a lean and fit appearance, which was fundamentally different from the flabby and fat boys of the same age.

Even the boys who played basketball regularly, though they had thicker arms, didn't have muscles as strong as Zhang Qiu's.

One girl's bold move set an example, and other bold girls also "wow"ed and pinched Zhang Qiu's arm.

Zhang Qiu remained calm and let the girls curiously touch him. This made even the shy girls join in.

Among these girls, though there were no city or county-level beauties, they were all young and lively, and their figures were quite attractive. At least there were no ugly girls, which Zhang Qiu found quite refreshing.

The boys, seeing Zhang Qiu surrounded by so many girls, were envious and jealous, but they had no way to change the situation.

Many boys with weaker social skills didn't often chat with girls, and those with better social skills, though they got along well with girls, never experienced being surrounded by so many goddesses.

Suddenly, a girl said, "Zhang Qiu, did you suddenly get transported to another world?"

"Uh..." Zhang Qiu was taken aback, and his heart started beating faster. Did she notice something strange?

Then the girls started to speculate, "I think it might be a rebirth."

"It must be! How could someone suddenly become so amazing if they weren't transported?"

"Have you guys read too many brain-dead穿越 (穿越 means '穿越' in Chinese, which translates to '穿越' in English, but it's a term used for 'time travel' or 'transported to another world' in the context of novels) novels? There's no such thing in the real world!" A rational girl immediately rebutted.

"Really boring, can't we just imagine? Zhang Qiu, what do you think?"

"Ha!" Zhang Qiu laughed, thinking that web novels were quite popular, even high school students who focused only on their college entrance exams knew about time travel and rebirth and could joke about it.

But then he thought, wasn't he also a high school student?

With the popularity of several time travel dramas, the term "time travel" quickly became known across the country, even by the aunties who danced in the square, let alone high school students.

The internet was slowly changing many people's lives, and one day it would change the world. Zhang Qiu felt that his future battlefield would also be on the internet. The first world-class skill was computer technology, which was a fateful connection.

"I am indeed from another world." Zhang Qiu said with a smile.

"Really! Can you tell us tomorrow's lottery numbers?"

"232292639" Zhang Qiu said. (Search this number on QQ for a surprise)

Everyone laughed, not expecting Zhang Qiu to be so humorous and not to be nervous even with so many girls around.

If the dictation last time made people start to notice a classmate named Zhang Qiu, then today's incident would make everyone remember him by the time they graduated.

For the rest of the afternoon, after each class, girls would come to chat with Zhang Qiu. He didn't discriminate based on appearance, neither showing dislike nor preference, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, which earned him much admiration.

This attention made Zhang Qiu truly feel the taste of a former nobody who had made a comeback.

After school, the previously empty campus was filled with young figures. Among them, a pair of figures stood out, attracting the temporary attention of many male students.

"Nana, do you think this virus will affect the upcoming joint exam? I heard it's quite serious."

"We don't need to worry about that," Lin Lai said, "Meizi, any new news about that scumbag?"

"I heard he's not a scumbag anymore but a hero who saved a girl. But there's another rumor that a very impressive person dunked a basketball, beat someone up, and hugged a girl at the gym at noon."

"Who?" Lin Lai asked, "How dare he be so arrogant. Do the teachers know?"

"I heard his name is also Zhang Qiu. But the teachers probably don't know yet, or even if they do, they can't do anything. It's just a rumor, and no one has reported it to the teachers," Ye Mei said, "If all these Zhang Qius are the same person, I think he might really be a pervert."

"I think so too," Lin Lai nodded.

After saying this, she suddenly saw a figure and her face darkened. She pulled Ye Mei and said, "Meizi, let's walk over there."

Zhang Qiu, hearing the system's prompt, "30 meters ahead, found a city-level beauty," watched the two figures suddenly turn away, touched his nose, and smiled with a hint of amusement. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature for better updates and faster updates!)
