Chapter 42: If one doesn’t appreciate a face-saving measure, ditch it.

“Post this announcement now!” Robert Thomp had already arrived at the location of the F University’s Computer Interest Group’s activities. Such school clubs would generally have a place provided by the school for activities. Not to mention this high-end computer interest group was also responsible for maintaining the school’s official website and the server for the forum.

As the head of the computer department, Robert Thomp was quite familiar with the folks here. With Thomp around, the students couldn’t say anything and proceeded to post the announcement Thomp specified on the forum.

“…Attention, students of F University, the recently posted video on the forum, slandering our teachers, is entirely a fabrication. This video, from wherever it originated, is nothing but a blatant falsehood. As for the resemblance of the characters within to any, it is a pure coincidence, we hope everyone will exercise caution. Let’s not allow such videos on our clean school forum. We hope everyone will resist such videos and maintain a clean academic environment in the school forum.”

The announcement essentially meant this. But after reading this announcement, most students sneered at it, although quite a few believed it, given that the video, placed alongside those widely dispersed on the internet, was quite similar in content, so it was possible that a considerable number of people didn’t believe it.

At this moment, Robert Green and others also got wind of the situation. Robert Green was left speechless. If this issue continues to gain momentum, it could instantly become national news, and F University could become famous nationwide, Robert Green can only fantasize what would follow!

Regardless of whether the man in the video was Thomp or not, this incident must be covered up! This is no longer just about Thomp, but about the reputation of F University! Almost all the higher-ups of F University shared the same thoughts. After a brief interchange, the Vice Principal directly came here, staying with Thomp in the forum.

“Don’t you all have good computer skills? Can you trace this IP address?” The Vice Principal immediately asked the leader of the interest group.

“We have it displayed in our backend. However, it shows that it comes from a mobile server, possibly uploaded via mobile device,” answered the leader of the interest group.

“What do you mean? Why can you only track the mobile server? If you log in with Wi-Fi on a mobile phone, isn’t it supposed to show a physical address? And if it is through 3G or 1+G network, doesn’t the mobile phone have its own physical network card and a unique IP address?” Robert Thomp, being the head of the computer department, interjected, setting the record straight.

“We’re not sure—for now, it is possible that the person on the other side is obscuring these technical details,” the leader of the interest group, Sea Springs, shook his head saying.

“However, he shouldn’t be able to post in the school forum now,” Sea Springs added.

However, Thomp was getting a little uneasy. He thought of something quickly and turned to the Vice Principal: “Vice Principal Joey, help me keep an eye here, I have some business to take care of in my office.”

“Sure,” Vice Principal Joey glanced at him and nodded. Only after setting off did Thomp remember. The videos were saved on his own computer. Now that they had ended up in someone else’s hands, Thomp believed he must destroy them all.

Unbeknownst to Thomp, Finn Lewis at his home at that moment was furious. He was livid when looking at the shameless announcement on the school forum, added to the punishment announcement that Thomp had arranged for him earlier on. Finn exploded, ordering: “Zero, I remember I got a reward to use your authority once in my task, didn’t I?”

“Yes!” Zero’s reply was succinct.

“I’m exercising that authority now! Block this server for me! And upload all the videos to this server! Order the title according to what I just said, from number one to the end. Blur out the female lead’s face as well! Oh yes, put up my announcement first!” Finn uttered ferociously.

“Roger!” Zero’s reply was equally succinct. Then, nearly instantaneously, he acted just as Finn had commanded, eradicating all forum administrators of the entire forum with a violent lot.

“Group leader! My account has been locked out!” Suddenly, a member of the interest group yelled out.

“Same here!”

“Mine, too!”

“We’ve all been locked out, our server was hacked!” One of the more technically proficient members proclaimed.

“What?!” Sea Springs was taken aback at first but promptly rushed to his computer! A terrible premonition surged in his heart. Although the school forum’s server was often attacked and even numerous such incidents were caused by the hardcore technical guys from the computer department! But then most of the people in this interest group were technically superb students from the department.

Therefore, maintaining the school forum was a piece of cake. Sure, like their computer department had often clashed with the Tsinghua computer department in Beijing, and they targeted each other’s school forums at times. But at such a critical point, the school forum getting blacked out, Sea Springs couldn’t fathom that either a hardcore student from the university or those jerks from Tsinghua were responsible.

Well, perhaps he can’t be entirely sure of the in-school hardcore guys not being responsible for this!

The unexpected news that just broke made Thomp, who was ready to leave, stop in his tracks. Along with Vice Principal Joey, they hastened to Sea Springs. Springs had already refreshed the school forum’s homepage.

But to their shock, the homepage of the school forum had undergone a total transformation! All posts were entirely wiped out, leaving behind only one-one post or more precisely, one announcement, which stood out in glaring red!

‘If they do not want face, then throw it away, Why not!’ was the title of this post. Even though everyone was locked out, they could still access the forum normally. When the post was opened, both Thomp and Vice Principal Joey turned pale.

“You’ve refused your face, then why not throw it away? How could such a beast, such a disgrace serve as the department head of F University?! Alright, you deleted my posts and blocked my account. I dare you to do it now! I’ll strip him of his fig leaf today, exposing your ugly face to everyone in the country! Students of F University, keep your eyes wide open, watch closely! Unveiling in ten minutes!”

Currently, the school forum is in very high demand. Because of the widespread among the students, at least 80% of the students are focusing on the school forum, even including some off-campus students. When their accounts were suddenly locked out, they could still access the forum perfectly.

After the emergence of this post, all students visiting the school forum, after reading the announcement, were nearly trembling with excitement. They felt a wave of goosebumps all over them. The situation was out of control! This was every student’s initial reaction after seeing the announcement! They didn’t expect Literati Saucy Poet to be a hacker! It wasn’t long since the administrators of the school forum began blocking accounts. However, the other party had already knocked down the entire server of the school forum!

Then everyone’s face was filled with excitement and passion.. Holy cow! This was nothing short of fantastic! They did not expect they would witness a

hacker’s infiltration at such close quarters! As for Thomp, they have been pissed with him for a long time now!
