4: Ransomware Trojans are threatening the world, and Jarvis has developed a special anti-ransomware software.

... A moment later.

As soon as he returned to his rented apartment, a cold, electronically synthesized voice entered Lu Xingye's ears, surprising him greatly.

"Boss."

"Welcome home. If there's anything Jarvis can do for you, just say the word."

Lu Xingye casually placed Tongtong's computer on the computer desk, next to his own Alien desktop computer. The two computers placed side-by-side on the desk made the space feel a bit cramped.

As for Tony's computer, it was naturally placed on the floor; its size was a bit too large for the computer desk.

"Help me check the Ransomware Trojan information," Lu Xingye said casually.

[Boss.]

[This is just a low-level Trojan. Aside from its strong replicability, it poses no threat whatsoever.]

Jarvis accessed Tongtong's computer via Wi-Fi signal, then said dismissively.

"Low-level Trojan?"

Lu Xingye paused, as if realizing something, and added, "Is 'low-level Trojan' relative to current technology?"

The blue indicator light on Tony's computer flashed, and then Jarvis's electronically synthesized voice came through.

"That's relative to Stark Industries."

"I am currently offline and cannot access the Kyushu internet. I am unaware of Kyushu's technological development status, so I cannot make a judgment."

Oh, right!

Lu Xingye slapped his forehead, finally remembering. After he brought Jarvis over, he physically disconnected it from the internet, and he hadn't given it permission to connect.

The reason Jarvis was able to access Tongtong's computer just now was through the local router's LAN.

"Can't you connect to the internet yourself?"

"Boss, this small problem certainly won't stump me. I am a super artificial intelligence; as long as there's a signal, I can access the internet."

"Then why don't you connect to the internet yourself?" Lu Xingye asked faintly.

"Without authorization from the highest authority, Jarvis cannot connect to the internet automatically..."

"Who is your highest authority?"

"Lu Xingye."

Hearing this, Lu Xingye felt completely relieved.

Although Jarvis was an artificial intelligence with its own thoughts, he completely obeyed his commands.

Only if he allowed Jarvis to connect to the internet, could it connect.

This also indirectly proved that Jarvis was safe, and he could use it with confidence.

Moreover, he was Jarvis's highest authority owner.

In other words, Jarvis completely obeyed his commands. Even if Lu Xingye told him to self-destruct, Jarvis would execute it without hesitation.

"Permission to access the internet," Lu Xingye said softly.

"Okay, Boss."

"Boss, I suggest you get me an AR projector. That would greatly increase efficiency. This physical screen is really too inconvenient," Jarvis complained to Lu Xingye while searching and evaluating information about the Ransomware Trojan.

"Also..."

"Your internet speed is too slow... Can't you switch to a 10-gigabit fiber optic connection?" Jarvis muttered.

Lu Xingye rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this.

Want high-speed fiber optics?

And an AR projector?

But, he didn't have money right now.

And AR virtual projection doesn't exist in the world right now; if he wanted it, he'd have to build it himself.

With such weak basic technology in reality, even the design blueprints for an AR projector couldn't be produced all at once.

That's not right!

Jarvis is an artificial intelligence. Why am I arguing with him?

Just ignore him... A moment later.

Jarvis completed his assessment of the Ransomware Trojan based on Kyushu's technological situation.

"Extremely harmful."

"Extremely replicable."

"If we want to develop a dedicated antivirus software, it will take at least a week."

"Then that would be a super Trojan," Lu Xingye thought to himself, looking at the information Jarvis summarized.

This Ransomware Trojan was going to extort the whole world!

If a dedicated antivirus software couldn't be developed within 24 hours, then there would be big trouble.

How about... how about I develop a dedicated antivirus software?

Then sell it to a cybersecurity company to earn his first pot of gold?

Lu Xingye pondered for a moment, finding the idea increasingly feasible.

He acted on his thoughts.

Lu Xingye paused and issued an instruction to Jarvis: "Help me check how many computers nationwide have been infected?"

"Okay, Boss."

The indicator light on Jarvis's computer flashed, and information about the Ransomware Trojan appeared on the screen as far as the eye could see.

First discovery of Ransomware Trojan: Yanjing University Library, Time: 12 hours ago.

A total of 1.26 million computers in Yanjing have been infected.

A total of 35.84 million computers nationwide have been infected.

And the Ransomware Trojan is still growing explosively, with more and more computers continuously being compromised... Now, 35.84 million computers nationwide have been infected?

Looking at the data compiled by Jarvis, Lu Xingye was secretly alarmed. This super Trojan was truly terrifying; so many computers had been infected in just a dozen hours.

"Let's check the situation online again."

Lu Xingye moved the mouse to 'Today's News'. He found that the Ransomware Trojan dominated the rankings, with the top three trending searches all related to the Trojan.

#Give Me Back My Data? Ransomware Trojan Extorting the World.

#245 cybersecurity companies nationwide are holding emergency seminars, racing against time to develop dedicated antivirus software for the Ransomware Trojan.

#To eliminate the harm caused by the Ransomware Trojan as quickly as possible, relevant departments are calling on all software engineers to participate in the cracking effort. Individuals or companies that are first to develop the dedicated antivirus software will be rewarded 1,000,000 dragon coins.

"360 Security is in action."

"Kingsoft Security is in action..."

"Spark Security is in action..."

"Software engineers nationwide are in action."

"Although I am just a software worker, for the sake of my hard drive data, I am also taking action."

... It seems this storm caused by the Ransomware Trojan is far bigger than I imagined.

Lu Xingye sighed.

"Jarvis, based on the current situation, write dedicated antivirus software for the Ransomware Trojan."

"Okay, Boss. It's already completed."

"Huh? That fast?" Lu Xingye was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

"I can compute tens of billions of times per second. Developing this kind of low-level software only takes 0.001 seconds."

So strong!

Lu Xingye couldn't help but give Jarvis a thumbs up. This compilation speed was unmatched by any programmer; it seemed programmers would all be out of a job in the future.

He sat on the stool, picked up Tongtong's pink laptop bag with his right hand, and gently pulled the zipper. He took out Junior Sister Tongtong's computer from the laptop bag.

Then he copied the dedicated antivirus software to a USB drive and inserted it into Tongtong's computer.

A progress bar immediately appeared on the screen, and the progress bar was moving rapidly.

[Scanning for Ransomware Trojan...]

1%

2%

3%

4%

...100%

As the progress bar reached its end, the black and white skull on the screen instantly disappeared, replaced by a fresh screen.

The computer finally returned to its original state.

The desktop picture was an orange cat bigger than a dog, quite adorable. Through the desktop picture, Lu Xingye seemed to imagine Junior Sister Tongtong as a cat owner.

He hadn't expected Junior Sister Tongtong to be such a cat lover.

He heard that cat lovers are super compassionate.

Hehehe... Oh, right.

I wonder if the data has been recovered?

Lu Xingye, with a serious and responsible attitude, opened 'My Computer' and checked each disk.

Of course.

He swore!

He was checking the computer to verify if the computer data had been recovered, absolutely not to look at Junior Sister Tongtong's photos.

At least Lu Xingye wouldn't admit it.

C drive data could be read and written, so there shouldn't be any problems.

D drive data... As soon as Lu Xingye clicked on the D drive, his hand trembled, and his eyes instantly went wide. A wave of shyness rose from within him, making him quickly close the D drive.

Then.

He hesitated for a second.

Then he openly reopened the D drive and earnestly admired Junior Sister Tongtong's photos.

The scale was a bit large.

A bit sexy.

Super fierce... Hehehe!

This benefit will be the reward for helping you fix your computer.

Lu Xingye admired it for a while with a clear conscience, then closed the D drive with satisfaction.

As for copying the photos, Lu Xingye stated that he was a decent person and would never do such a thing.

After doing all this, Lu Xingye prepared to earn his first pot of gold.

First, he downloaded the online Ransomware Trojan to his laptop, then opened his phone camera and started recording a video.

He recorded the entire process of the dedicated antivirus software clearing the Ransomware Trojan, then packaged some of the dedicated antivirus software code together and sent it to several companies specializing in cybersecurity in the country.

Among them, he focused on 360 Security Co., Ltd. and Kingsoft Security Co., Ltd. Both were famous large companies, and they had plenty of money to be confidently exploited.

Developing dedicated antivirus software cost me 0.001 seconds. I worked so hard; isn't it reasonable to take tens of millions as a hard-earned fee?
