Chapter 51 Warning


Chapter 51 Warning

This is really... heartbreaking.

It can be seen from this that the specific process of this auction is absolutely confidential at the highest level, and the organizer does not allow any accidents to occur.

"It seems that they are determined to succeed in this auction."

Xu Zhiyan quickly made a copy of the map of the auction house's work area, "Yi Wen, can you find the location of the items for sale?"

"It's on the third underground floor in the southeast corner, but if you want to enter, you need administrator rights."

"What time is it now?"

"No more, no less, eight o'clock sharp."

"Evan, help me time the time." Xu Zhiyan changed into the clothes of a staff member here and covered the identity information on Louis' work card. Now, her irises and fingerprints can be used unobstructed in most areas of the auction house, except for the core area, which she cannot enter. And there is the location of the collection.

The young man's eyes sparkled with determination.

Half an hour is enough.

As the first generation intelligent AI of Meson Company, even though the main body is not here, Yiwen, who has strong computing power, can still easily plan an extremely complete road map.

Xu Zhiyan pretended to be a staff member and wandered around. The control room she destroyed could operate automatically even without supervision. She was sure not to be discovered in a short period of time.

Time passed by minute by second, and when the iron gate appeared in front of her eyes, she knew that this was her destination.

The young man quietly put his ear to the smart lock. The permissions of this door were extremely high, and the work badge he had just picked up would definitely not be acceptable.

But it's a pity that this lock is intelligently controlled. As long as it is a program, there will always be errors.

She raised her hand and pressed the glasses she didn't usually wear. The holographic screen that appeared in front of her eyes flickered like snowflakes for a few times before finally settling down.

Pay attention to the time again, it's half past eight in less than five minutes.

……

At the same time, in the Fourth Dimension Internet Cafe, almost everyone who logged on showed the loading page of Sword Talk, and Qiu Yi was no exception.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle for the top rankings, Shuojian officially conducted an emergency server optimization. He was already excited just by staring at the progress bar of the update page!

The annual highest level and largest 1V1 competitive mode of Sword Talking is about to start. If players climb to the top of the rankings, players will be eligible to enter the Sword Talking Hall of Fame. Their ID and character image will be displayed in the Hall of Fame for a month. Get generous and exclusive customized rewards.

And today is the first day of the ranking competition!

All players can't wait to plunge into the exciting world of martial arts and the unique atmosphere of the battle for the top spot in the martial arts world.

Finally, the update was completed, and Qiu Yi fiddled with the scroll wheel on his mouse a little anxiously. Even though he was about to turn 30, the original passion that e-sports brought to him had never faded away.

The wait for the server to open is so long. The official even opened a new map for the Fengyun Summit showdown this time. Everyone wants to be the first player to enter the new Fengyun Continent.

Under the spotlight of Miracle players, the time to launch the server has finally arrived!

Qiu Yi was stuck logging in for almost a few seconds, but it was not clear whether the server was stuck or for some other reason when he logged in for the first time. The system popped up a login failure interface:

[Dear young hero, there are too many players logged in in a short period of time. Please click Confirm and try again to log in normally. 】

Perhaps there were too many accounts flooding in at once, so the official forced a re-login so that players could go online at staggered times?

Qiu Yi clicked to confirm and followed the system prompts again. This time it went smoothly. The eagerness and joy of entering the game overwhelmed his emotions. The abnormality when he logged in for the first time had long been forgotten by him.

However, what he didn't know was that at the moment he clicked to confirm, in the computer world, countless logical chains composed of 0s and 1s began to operate. The "confirmation" of the input port was filtered layer by layer, and the information was filtered one by one. It is issued layer by layer, and the final output is an access signal, which is transmitted to a set endpoint through the Internet.

In many corners that he didn't know, all the miracle players in the world experienced the same login failure on the day when the Top Rankings started. They all pressed the same confirmation key, and the same access signals were passed on one by one. .

The same thing is that everyone thinks this is just a trivial matter.

No one would link an inconspicuous game account login abnormality with the most serious auction accident in the history of Beijing's largest underground black market.

Xu Zhiyan waited quietly as the seconds on the screen continued to increase. The numbers with light blue fluorescence seemed to carry some kind of prophecy, slowly and unstoppably climbing to the destined end.

20:29:58……

20:29:59……20:30:00……

The changes at the auction house began at this time.

"What's going on?"

All the staff were horrified to see that the intelligent supervision system covering the entire store suddenly crashed, and there was no response even if any instructions were entered.

They watched helplessly as all the screens in front of them displayed huge red bold fonts one after another:

"Warning!"

"Warning! The server has suffered a large number of illegal connections and has exceeded the CPU storage limit!"

Soon, all the machines collapsed. And now, the auction has begun! Once something goes wrong, the consequences are immeasurable!

"This must be man-made sabotage, hurry up! Find out what's going on!" The manager quickly issued an order.

The engineers in the main control room all looked at each other in confusion. They looked at the screen in front of them with different expressions.

"General manager..." one of them spoke, his tone clearly unbelievable: "What we suffered was a DOS attack."

The steward's eyes widened.

DoS attack is an attack method in which the attacker sends a large number of connection requests to the attacked server in a short period of time, causing the other party's CPU to be fully loaded and crash.

Today, with the rapid advancement of digital technology, the computing power of computers is already considerable, and it is difficult for anyone to choose to use such a backward method. How come people still use this traditional method of DOS attack?

However, it was such an ancient virus from the last century that brought down their server.

A shameful feeling of frustration spread in the control room.

"Unblock the server as soon as possible and find out who the attacker is! Where is the source!"

The steward roared angrily: "Quick! A bunch of stupid pigs!"

However, after the engineers were busy for a while, all of them fell into a state of freeze, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"What's wrong?"

The engineer from before spoke tremblingly, his tone was so incredible.

"Manager, there is more than one attacker."

"How many are there?" The manager felt a little uneasy.

"More than...30 million people..."

And...

He stared in horror at the flashing dots of light on the screen.

……

"The number is still increasing!"

Xu Zhiyan said excitedly.

She has always had confidence in the influence of the sword.
