Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: But I am an upright person!

"Zhao Yi, we were in the same class in junior high. We’ve been classmates for over five years. Do you remember that time in the eighth grade, when we went to the arcade? I spent all the ten dollars in my pocket to buy game tokens for you."

"Zhao Yi, I’ve also signed up, count me in. My geography and history are excellent, I can guarantee a top-three spot if you let me be in charge!"

"Zhao Yi, we live in the same residential area. As the saying goes, ’don’t let the water you own flow into others’ field’. I’ll treat you to a lavish meal!"

"Zhao Yi..."

"Zhao Yi..."

The allure of being on TV is just too strong.

Throughout the day, Zhao Yi was swamped by constant flattery and attempts to win his favor. The passion from his classmates was so intense it was almost melting him.

There’s not even space on his table for any more drinks.

The variety of new stationery items are so plentiful they’re barely fitting.

Several girls even audaciously came over to hand him love letters, their faces blushing red as they handed them over to him, anxious that Zhao Yi wouldn’t know who they are.

This feeling isn’t too bad!

Zhao Yi piles up several envelopes together and with a grin, he can’t help but sigh, "Being handsome is such a burden. Being this popular sure is annoying!"

"Tsk~~"

Lin Xiaoqing’s face shows a look of disdain, "They’re only doing this to get on the competition team. Who would actually fall for you?"

"You’re just jealous!"

"Me, jealous of you?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Lin Xiaoqing snorts and reaches for a stack of envelopes on the desk, nonchalantly heading for the trash can.

Rip, rip.

Rip some more.

Toss them away!

Zhao Yi takes in a deep breath, tearing the letters in his hands into shreds and throwing them into the trash can.

Lin Xiaoqing turns around and props herself on the table, her lips curving in a smile as she asks, "So, what’s your plan?"

"I haven’t thought that through yet, but..."

Zhao Yi’s face is filled with righteousness, "But I’m certain that there will have to be a selection process for the new members. And it has to be fair and just. I’m not the sort of person who would let someone in just because they have a good relationship with me. Impartiality is my motto."

Lin Xiaoqing sits upright, a look of disbelief on her face, "You? Really?"

"Zhao Yi!"

Sun Liang says discontentedly, "I’ll say it again, we’re best buddies!"

"Buddy!"

Zhao Yi abruptly stands up, accidentally stepping on Sun Liang’s shoe. He then says earnestly, raising his voice, "Even buddies need to separate public from private. If you want to join the competition team, you have to go through the selection process!"

...

Zhao Yi thought that once he got home from school, he would find some quiet.

He was wrong.

There were two groups of guests in his house, and gifts were piled up by the door.

"Little Yi is back!"

"Come in! Come in!"

"You know, even if it is the senior year, the school shouldn’t let out so late. It’s almost ten o’clock. The well-being of the kids is important!"

"Little Yi, have you had dinner? Auntie bought you chocolates and nuts..."

"..."

Zhao Yi responds with a few words, sitting on the sofa massaging his forehead and saying, "I’ll just get straight to the point. If you’re here about the competition team, take all your stuff away. There are just too many applicants."

He takes out a piece of paper from his pocket, filled with names.

Forty-three of them!

If there were a few more, they could form an entire class!

"I can’t decide this on my own anymore. We’re going to have to do a test for the selection. Whoever scores the highest gets in."

Zhao Yi explains.

"Then what’s the exam about? Little Yi, is there a syllabus..."

"Yeah, what’s the exam about?"

"Knowing the topic in advance doesn’t make it unfair. High school textbooks are there to study, and yet some people still fail!"

"..."

"Enough! Enough!"

Zhao Yi was not in the mood to deal with it, so he simply opened the door and took the gift outside, frowning severely and said, "It’s too late, it’s time to sleep, all of you should go home!"

Both couples immediately felt extremely embarrassed and could only leave with civilities.

Liu Jing closed the door and sat back on the sofa, complaining, "Xiao Yi, you’re so insensitive, you pushed people out, Uncle Li and your dad are colleagues, and we often see Zhang Guilin when buying groceries."

Zhao Yi felt a little irritated, "What the hell! If they’re chased away then so be it, who do they think they are?"

"If it were something ordinary, I would’ve helped, but clearly I can’t help in this matter. They hope that by giving gifts, their child could get in; if people found out, how am I supposed to survive in school?"

"Yes, if they’re chased away, then let them be! If they’re offended, then let them be!" Zhao Zhenxi took a rare stand and said, "For their children, they could give gifts or take advantage of their connections, such shameless people! Don’t they have any dignity!"

Zhao Zhenxi paused, then spoke again, "By the way, Xiao Yi, you got full marks in the competition? And the school even gave you a cash prize? Why didn’t you tell us about such a prideful thing?"

Liu Jing looked at him accusingly, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "The child has grown up; he doesn’t tell us anything anymore. If Zhang Guilin hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known about this."

Zhao Yi’s scalp tingled as he listened, he quickly waved his hand, "It’s nothing! It’s nothing!"

"Is it because of the cash prize!" Liu Jing’s gaze tightened on Zhao Yi, "It’s a thousand yuan, are you keeping it for yourself? Don’t spend it recklessly, okay?"

Zhao Yi subconsciously covered his pocket.

"Ahem..."

Zhao Zhenxi said solemnly, "I support Xiao Yi in this matter, it’s the first time he earned money on his own. When you make your own money, you should spend it yourself, children have to grow up sometime."

He winked at Zhao Yi as he spoke.

Zhao Yi immediately smiled at Liu Jing, "Mom, don’t worry, it’ll be your birthday in two months. I was planning to save the money to give you a surprise, I didn’t expect you to find out."

Liu Jing was immediately overjoyed, but still modestly declined, "I’m at this age now, just tell me about it instead of buying a gift, no need, no need."

"Yes, yes, good idea!"

Zhao Zhenxi looked a bit upset, this wasn’t the direction he had planned.

When Liu Jing went to take a bath, Zhao Zhenxi quickly pulled Zhao Yi aside, "Xiao Yi, I’ve always been good to you, right? I’ve definitely given you a lot of pocket money privately, now..."

Zhao Yi pulled out his wallet reluctantly.

One bill.

Another one?

Forget it!

Zhao Yi withdrew the second bill, he looked serious, "Dad, Mom has already said, men become corrupted when they have money. I can’t have too much pocket money regularly, a hundred is enough."

After he finished speaking, he went into his bedroom.

Zhao Zhenxi stood there stunned, puffing with frustration, he opened his mouth towards the room, glanced fearfully at the washroom, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is the son between us two!"

...

That night, Zhao Yi slept soundly.

On the other side of the Earth.

The technical department at Apple Company noticed the third bug report he had sent and immediately reported this extraordinary event to the general manager of the technical department, Daleson.

Daleson was organizing some report documents when he noticed a message from the back office, he immediately stopped, called Miller, and asked, "Are you saying that the same mailbox from China submitted a bug report three times?"

Miller replied, "To be precise, it’s seven bugs, two of them are very important and could even allow external invasions, we fixed one of them in the last update."

Daleson’s expression became serious.

Apple’s operating system is closed, and each update fixes some bugs. Although it seems like there might be many bugs, in fact, there are relatively few. Most of the fixes in the updates are for operational experience and to ensure smooth use.

Therefore, the bugs submitted by the technical staff are generally code hooks which are loopholes that can affect the security and stability of the operating system by operating and coding invasions.

Few people worldwide can find bugs in the iOS system.

Many European and American hackers are dedicated to invading iOS, some of them have succeeded, but being able to find one or two bugs and use them is already quite impressive.

One mailbox, seven bugs?

When did the iOS system become full of loopholes?

"Could it be like this." Daleson thought of an explanation, "Behind this mailbox, there is a world-class hacker team. They focused on the iOS system and conducted various probing and cracking studies."

Miller continued, "Then they report the bugs they found to us? just for that bit of reward money?"

Daleson thought it would be impossible.

He checked his computer and found some account information linked to the mailbox, including the name, bank account number, and location of the bank.

"Zhao Yi?"

"China, Zhengyang City."

"As long as we find this person, everything will become clear."

Daleson made a final decision, "I’ll leave this matter to our China branch. They are more familiar with China."

"If he is an individual, he must be a top computer genius. No matter the cost, we must get him to Apple..."
