The Plague Virus really did spread like a plague, stirring up a huge storm in the online world!
Many antivirus companies didn’t take the Plague Virus seriously at first. After all, there had been plenty of worm viruses before, and they had all been perfectly eliminated.
So they didn’t pay much attention to the Plague Virus either, thinking it would be just like the previous ones.
But they never expected that this new Plague Virus would be so ferocious. Almost all antivirus software on the market had no effect on it.
Netizens’ personal computers had their systems crash, their files deleted—situations like this were everywhere.
For a moment, the entire online world was in a panic. Some people even shouted pessimistically, “The end of the virtual world is here!”
And those users who had purchased genuine software memberships were even more furious. They flooded the official websites of the major antivirus companies, their anger boiling over as they cursed out the antivirus companies!
Those antivirus companies also had their own difficulties to complain about.
This virus was simply too bizarre. It could even disguise itself as a normal file, evade the antivirus system’s scans, and then tamper with the system’s source files. This was already beyond what ordinary antivirus software could handle.
For this kind of new worm virus, cracking it was not something that could be done overnight.
But how could they possibly say these things to their users?
These users were already on the verge of exploding. If they knew that the worm virus couldn’t be solved within this period of time, who knew what they might do!
And for antivirus software, users were life itself! If they offended a large number of users, then the company would be finished.
So, in their announcements, they could only say they would solve it as quickly as possible, without giving a specific time.
This kind of vague statement made all the netizens very dissatisfied.
But at the same time, when they saw that almost all the official antivirus websites gave the same kind of reply, it meant that… this Plague Virus seemed to be different from all previous viruses—very powerful!
At the same time, the National Cybersecurity Center immediately held an emergency meeting. The Plague Virus had already seriously affected social order and had to be resolved in the shortest possible time.
A war without the smoke of gunpowder had begun.
However, this battle had nothing to do with Qin Yunxuan. Over the past two days, she had been completely immersed in the code-writing process for the artificial intelligence.
She didn’t even know when Chen Xiyuan had come in.
“So tired!” Qin Yunxuan stretched lazily. After a full two days, she had finally written out the preliminary code for the artificial intelligence.
Of course, there was still a long way to go before it could be considered true artificial intelligence, but this was already enough to rival the most powerful artificial intelligence programs in the world.
Gurgle gurgle!
Glancing at the time, Qin Yunxuan realized it had already gotten late. It seemed she hadn’t eaten in two days?
Huh, that’s strange. I vaguely remember I ate some fast food, but I don’t remember ordering any fast food.
Working with such intense focus gave Qin Yunxuan a feeling of mental confusion.
“Are you done with work?”
At that moment, Chen Xiyuan’s voice came from behind Qin Yunxuan.
Qin Yunxuan was startled. “Xiyuan, you… why are you here?”
Was there anything more terrifying than someone appearing behind you?
Except for a beautiful woman, of course!
But clearly, Qin Yunxuan, who was originally a stunning beauty herself, was not included in that exception!
“I came yesterday!”
Chen Xiyuan’s tone was very calm. “The door wasn’t closed at the time, so I came in!”
“How come I didn’t know!” Qin Yunxuan looked like she had seen a ghost.
“You were working too seriously at the time, so I didn’t disturb you!” A faint blush appeared on Chen Xiyuan’s face. “I originally wanted to wait until you finished work to talk to you, but I didn’t expect you to keep working the whole time. I ordered food for you in between, but even when you were eating, you were still working!”
Qin Yunxuan had a bit of a headache. It seemed she had fallen into that self-forgetting work mode again.
“What time did you come today?”
“I…”
Chen Xiyuan’s face blushed slightly. “I didn’t leave yesterday. I slept on the bed behind you for the night!”
Hiss!
Qin Yunxuan’s eyes widened. What? She didn’t leave last night?
That means… she stayed at her place for the night?
Although her inner core was a woman, Chen Xiyuan didn’t know that!
A lone man and a lone woman, sharing a room—wasn’t she afraid that she would lose control of her beastly desires and do something she would regret for the rest of her life?
Or rather… she clearly knew Qin Lang had the intention but not the courage?
No, no! There must be something here that she didn’t know about!
Chen Xiyuan’s heart was also very uneasy. Yesterday was the first time she had ever stayed out overnight.
Actually, she had planned to leave quietly that night, but seeing how seriously Qin Lang was working, she found herself drawn in by his work ethic.
As the saying goes, a serious man is the most charming!
Originally, Chen Xiyuan already had a bit of a good impression of Qin Lang. Now that she was discovering more and more of his good qualities, she sank even deeper, unable to free herself.
So she did something that even she found somewhat incomprehensible—she stayed out overnight, sleeping at Qin Lang’s place.
Of course, in her heart, she justified it grandly: “Qin Lang is working so selflessly. If something unexpected happened, it would be very dangerous without anyone nearby, so I have to stay here and watch over him!”
But her truest inner thought was… she didn’t want to miss this side of Qin Lang working seriously.
Because she felt… it was too fascinating!
How could a man be this handsome, this attractive?
The two of them were silent at this moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
“Um… about what happened before, I’m sorry!” Qin Yunxuan felt she had to break this awkwardness, otherwise it would just be too unbearable.
“I should be the one saying sorry!” Chen Xiyuan shook her head and said, “You didn’t do anything wrong. It was me being petty and causing you some trouble! Qin Lang, I actually came to find you because I have something to tell you!”
Qin Yunxuan’s mouth twitched. “Um… can’t whatever you have to say wait until tomorrow? It’s already late…”
“But I want to tell you now. I’ll leave as soon as I’m done!”
Before Qin Yunxuan could speak, Chen Xiyuan continued on her own, “Before, we pretended to be a couple to eliminate the impact of the cyberbullying on you. But after spending these past few days together, I’ve realized that I seem to have really fallen for you, Qin Lang. Can we not be a fake couple? I like you. Can I be your real girlfriend?”
Qin Yunxuan’s heart sank. This girl had still said it.
Being confessed to on the spot by a beautiful woman—what to do? Asking online, quite urgent!
