Cracking the Virus

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Let's go in!"

The teacher let Ralph in.

Under such circumstances, no one would deliberately pretend to be a master programmer to enter the main computer room. Otherwise, if they did not understand any problems, they would only be laughed at.

Moreover, there were too few students who came to help. If there were more, there would be more hope.

And the big streamer Mary also came in. As a celebrity streamer, her popularity was enough to make the teachers not dare to neglect her.

Therefore, Mary wanted to come in and have a look.

Of course, Mary also live-streamed the process of the elites of Lorraine University cracking the virus.

As for whether it could be cracked, many other viewers and fans did not expect it.

Many countries around the world were invaded by the virus. This was not a simple virus.

They believed that the virus would be cracked, but not so fast.

"Ralph, you're also proficient in hacking virus programs?"

The teacher in the main computer room looked at Ralph in surprise.

"Kant!"

Ralph walked over.

Kant was Ralph's computer course teacher, but his major was business administration, while the computer major was just an elective course. Not many people took this course, and Kant always called out names, thus, he recognized Ralph.

"Kant, not only am I proficient, but I'm already confident in cracking ransomware!"

Ralph smiled.

"What?" Kant was shocked.

The other students and teachers also looked at Ralph. Even the live broadcast of the live broadcast was directed at Ralph.

"Ralph, this is not a joke!" Teacher Kant said solemnly.

"Teacher, I'm not joking. Furthermore, I've already added a program to crack the ransomware virus into an anti-virus software that I've long written overnight. Originally, I was going to apply for a patent, but the school's system crashed, so I immediately came over. 

Lorraine University announced that their student, Ralph, had cracked the ransomware virus and helped Ralph apply for a patent.

The Central anti-virus software was officially launched!

And this anti-virus software was free. Anyone could go to the main website of the Central company and download it.

After a while.

The number of downloads on the main website of the central company increased at an incredible speed --

100,000!

Million!

Ten million!

Not long after that, an advertising company approached the Central company and prepared to spend money to buy advertising spots on the website of the Central company.

Ralph handed over the matters of cooperation and advertising spots to Alice to manage.

The Central company was officially transformed into a software system company.

And the DIFA project was the Central anti-virus software!

Ralph also took the 500,000 USD prize money from the school.

In fact, this time, Lorraine University did not lose anything. They had made a huge profit because the school had earned the attention of the whole world. Their popularity had increased all of a sudden.

Originally, Lorraine University was just an ordinary university. Now, its reputation was even higher than that of a top university. This was an honor that could not be bought with 500,000 USD.

With the Central anti-virus software, extorting viruses were like rootless duckweed. They were completely useless.

Subsequently, other anti-virus software companies also updated their anti-virus software. It was obvious that they had cracked the virus as well. Unfortunately, they were a step too late. Moreover, it wasn't as useful as the Central anti-virus software. It couldn't threaten the status of the Central anti-virus software at all.

The extortion of the virus could be considered as a temporary thing. However, Ralph did not intend to end it just like that.

He was very curious. Who was the person that created the virus?

It took him a few days.

Ralph constantly shuttled through the Internet, looking for the origin of the extortion virus. Currently, the mysterious person or organization was still trying to release the virus, so Ralph quickly found it.
