Chapter 492 Invitation and Awards

At this time, for Tadahin Kashimura, the finals of this hacker competition, with the situation in the qualifiers, the purpose of this finals is no longer simply to compete with hackers from all over the world, and then give out bonuses. It's as simple as gaining visibility for your company.

As the qualifiers began, the server firewall, which was supposed to have excellent security protection and was world-leading in technology, was breached not long after the qualifiers started, and the other party blatantly locked the question-answering function of the qualifiers. It can be regarded as an announcement that the new firewall system developed by Sindora Company is vulnerable——

This situation completely exceeded the expectations before the "World Hacking Competition" was first held.

Originally, this competition was held to test the firewall system in advance for the launch of "Cocoon". The original intention was to see whether the system could withstand the attacks of hackers from all over the world. As a result, it suffered such a blow not long after it was launched for the first time.

Although from a technical point of view, the other party should be the most mysterious super hacker on the dark web, but since the other party can find the loopholes in the firewall so quickly, it actually means that sooner or later other hackers will be able to break into the firewall system.

The technology of "cocoon" is too forward-looking and will definitely be coveted by other companies once it is released. Therefore, at least before the release, safety measures must be taken to the end.

Therefore, in this finals, I thought that since the mysterious hacker chose to take action in the qualifiers, he should naturally appear in the finals.

But now it seems that among the eight teams present, no one matches the technology possessed by the mysterious hacker. It can be seen that the mysterious hacker did not choose to show up after all...

Although this was within the expected range, I didn't expect that the winner in the finals would be a team that didn't play according to common sense at all. It didn't rely solely on hacking skills to win, but relied on various off-field methods to win.

If such a team wins, is this competition still considered a "hacker competition"?

Moreover, it would be fine if the winner is a capable team of hackers, and they can be invited to participate in the test of the firewall system during the award ceremony, but such a team...

For a moment, Tadashi Kashimura began to make his own decisions——

Indeed, what Team "3" did was not against the rules, and at least there was no evidence to prove that those accidents were caused by members of their team.

However, as long as they investigate, they will surely be able to find evidence. As the person in charge of the competition, I can actually forcibly invalidate their competition results on the grounds of "disturbing the order of the competition."

However, this does not seem to be a good idea, because it is the opponent's ability to make the most of the rules without violating them.

In addition, during the qualifiers, the mysterious hacker directly invaded the backend server. In the end, such an approach was tacitly approved by himself. It is somewhat inappropriate to deny the approach of the "3" team at this time.

Then again, for me, there is no conflict in who will win or lose in the end. In the absence of the mysterious hacker, it doesn't matter who the hackers present are. It's just that the company needs an explanation. …

After all, the reason why we let such a situation happen in the qualifiers without doing anything to deal with it was that we hoped to meet the hacker in the finals. As long as we find him, ask the hacker to help point out the problems with the firewall system, or just invite him directly. If the other party joins, then the firewall development of "Cocoon" should be able to fill the loopholes immediately.

But now, among these people present, who can do such a thing?

Therefore, this is what makes Tadaki Kashimura feel melancholy now——

After all, apart from the fact that he is Japanese, another important reason why he can come to Japan to be the person in charge of the finals is that when a situation arose in the qualifiers, he proposed not to deal with the situation in the qualifiers. Let it develop, and think that the mysterious hacker will most likely appear.

As a result, now, the finals game has turned out like this...

…

"It's boring, it's really boring..."

At this time, the game is about to end, but the temperature control of the server I am responsible for has completely failed, causing the entire server's processor data to frequently malfunction and freeze. Even if it gets anxious, the server may directly freeze. , under this situation, Binga was in an extremely bad mood about the experience of this game, but at this point, he felt very helpless——

I managed to qualify for the finals because I wanted to meet the mysterious hacker who was rumored to have only appeared once on the dark web. After all, even Rum was paying special attention to this matter, so of course I had to do it. Find ways to show your value.

I just didn’t expect that the mysterious hacker didn’t see that the so-called hackers present at the finals of this hacking competition all had average skills. There were no guys worthy of special attention, and there were even some who were dirty and relied entirely on other than hacking skills. A team that uses off-field tactics to win, this guy...

Thinking of this, Binga only felt that this operation was a pure waste of time. In the end, there was no gain at all. Not to mention that he wanted to weigh the value of the mysterious hacker that Rum was paying attention to in advance. He didn't even see him like this. hackers appeared at the finals.

Thus……

"Forget it, I thought that because of being valued by Rum, I might be absorbed into the organization and become a threat to my rising status, but I didn't even choose to show up...

"Huh, I guess you don't have to worry about this anymore."

With a cold smile on his lips, he watched as the countdown of the game ended, and in the end, the points of team "3" firmly occupied the first place.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the supporters announced that the final champion of this "World Hacking Competition" is a member of Team "3".

In this way, when this moment comes, the other missing member of team "3" will finally appear at the competition site, and then the two of them are invited to the host stage to prepare for the award...

…

"How does this contestant feel about winning the championship in the 'World Hacking Competition' this time?"

After a procedural speech on the emergence of the competition champion, Mio Tokiwa, as the host, asked this question to the members of team "3"——

Of course, because the competition is anonymous, so naturally you will not ask the other party's true identity and name at this time.

In this regard, when the microphone was handed to this player with messy hair, thick glasses, and a plaid shirt, he stood in front of the contestant who raised his hand nervously. He was faced with having to be in front of the camera and with so many people. Speaking in front of the audience, the contestant appeared very nervous. Finally, he swallowed hard several times before nervously saying:

"It feels... quite fun."

This time, the answer was in very authentic Chinese.

For a moment, after hearing this response, Mio Tokiwa and Tadahina Kashimura, who were present, did not react. They did not expect that the other party was not Japanese.

So, I quickly called the translator to translate. Looking at the player's appearance, I felt that it was not easy to communicate with the other player, so I simply passed through to the next stage quickly——
