Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 146 Campus Belle-Level Beauty Moves In

Yang Siqi's viewpoint was not accepted by most people.

The reasons are twofold: firstly, everyone here is a student from a prestigious university and has basic integrity; they feel that using hacking techniques to attack other people's websites is simply shameful. Secondly, everyone's attitude towards the Galo Forum is significantly different from Yang Siqi's.

The Galo Forum is currently Yang Siqi's personal website, and his income and expenses are not disclosed to the public. Everyone only receives a meager base salary. Even the technical lead, Chen Wei, doesn't receive more than a thousand yuan a month.

Although Yang Siqi promised to give everyone a certain number of shares, he only talked about it and never signed any agreement.

Therefore, Yang Siqi treated the Galo Forum like her own child, while most others only regarded it as a part-time job.

Tang Jiakai was a member of the Red Hacker Alliance and abhorred the act of attacking other people's websites without cause. So even though Yang Siqi tried to brainwash him, he remained firm in his opinion and solemnly stated again: "President Yang, if you insist on attacking Renren.com, then find someone else. I can't do it."

Yang Siqi was also a little upset.

To my surprise, Tang Jiakai was so clueless.

When the Galo Forum was first established, I brought him over to be the security manager. But this small website has never encountered any hacker attacks, so Tang Jiakai has basically no workload here. Now that I finally need to use him, he actually shirks his responsibilities.

Yang Siqi said angrily, "Tang Jiakai, if you can't handle this, you won't be responsible for the security of the Galo Forum anymore."

Tang Jiakai nodded nonchalantly. He wasn't a very sociable person to begin with. Although he didn't have much work on the Galo Forum, he didn't earn much money either. So he stood up and said bluntly, "We have different paths, so from today onwards, I am officially leaving the Galo Forum."

Having said that, without waiting for anyone else to respond, he strode out.

The others exchanged bewildered glances.

In their view, Tang Jiakai was capable, and even if he disagreed with attacking Renren.com, Yang Siqi had no reason to ostracize him.

However, because Yang Siqi was the founder of the Galo Forum and the head of the college's student union, even if people had some complaints about him, they didn't dare to turn against him.

Yang Siqi was furious at the moment, so he turned to Chen Wei and ordered, "Dawei, stop working on the photo album. By the time we finish the photo album, the campus network will probably be up and running. Tonight, you and everyone work overtime to figure out how to get the campus network working. Just follow my idea and squeeze its bandwidth to the limit!"

In 2002, bandwidth was extremely precious on the internet.

The vast majority of websites and forums are text-only and rarely allow users to upload images and attachments. The reason for this is the high cost of bandwidth.

Furthermore, the bandwidth of a website server is shared. If it works perfectly when there are 1,000 users, but lags when there are 1,100 users, the server cannot guarantee stable operation for the previous 1,000 users. Instead, everyone will be affected in the same way.

Once the website's bandwidth is fully utilized, it will affect all users on that server.

The reason why modern online games are divided into many regions, and each region has many servers, is because the carrying capacity of each server is limited. It is necessary to distribute the load to ensure everyone's gaming experience. If a server crashes, at least players on other servers will not be affected.

Yang Siqi's idea was to use scripts to seize bandwidth on the school's intranet in batches. "You're running a photo album? I'll set up thousands of accounts to upload pictures at the same time, and I can saturate your bandwidth in no time. Then everyone will experience terrible lag."

Chen Wei understood his thoughts, but he was also a little embarrassed, so he advised him: "President Yang, the other party can develop such a useful website, so I think they must be very experienced in security issues. We might work hard, but they might find a way to deal with it quickly. Moreover, if the other party finds out our IP during the attack and reports it to the school, it will be troublesome for us."

Yang Siqi said nonchalantly, "Why don't you find a way to change the IP address so they can't find it?"

At this point, Yang Siqi said coldly in an unfriendly tone, "Dawei, I promised you 15 percent of the shares in the Galo Forum. If you don't want them anymore, you can just say so. I can find another technical partner."

When Chen Wei heard him say that, his heart skipped a beat.

Yang Siqi is known for his ruthlessness; if you really offend him, he'll definitely kick you out of the Galo Forum.

Putting aside whether the 15% stake will ultimately materialize, I still have at least several hundred yuan in income each month, and my living expenses depend entirely on the Galo Forum. I absolutely cannot give up this income.

Left with no other choice, he nodded and said, "Let's hurry."

Yang Siqi demanded sternly, "It must be finished by 9 p.m. tonight! Tonight is peak internet usage time. Take this opportunity to crash his server and ruin the user experience. If a new website crashes on its first day, hardly anyone will play it tomorrow!"

Chen Cheng had just finished taking photos of Yan Ruoxuan and hurriedly took her back to the school's printing shop.

On the way, Chen Cheng asked her, "Class monitor, let's hurry up and choose some photos after we get back. I'll create an account for you and upload your photos to the school's intranet, what do you think?"

When Yan Ruoxuan heard that her photos would be posted online for others to see, she felt somewhat uneasy.

Given her personality, the last thing she wanted to do was appear in the public eye. However, being clever, she quickly realized that Chen Cheng must have his reasons for doing this, and perhaps her account and photos could help his website attract more registered users.

So she asked Chen Cheng, "If I upload the photos to your website, will it help your website?"

"Of course!"

Chen Cheng said, "A beautiful woman like you is a strong magnet on social networking sites, attracting many male users. But you don't need to worry too much. If you're afraid of being harassed, you can set this account so that only people who follow you can leave messages or comments. That way, they can only see you online, but they can't interact with you at all."

After saying that, Chen Cheng added, "Of course, if you are unwilling, I certainly won't force you."

Upon hearing his words, Yan Ruoxuan realized that she could indeed help him, so she made a decision without hesitation and said with a smile, "I'm willing! It would be best if I could help you!"

Chen Cheng then said, "If you have no objections, I would also like to recommend this account to all Jiangda students. After Jiangda students register an account in the future, I will also put you in the list of recommended followers, is that okay?"

"Ok, Ok!"

Yan Ruoxuan nodded repeatedly: "I'll listen to whatever you say."

Chen Cheng told her, "You might get a lot of attention from others in the future, but to be honest, with your current look, you'll become famous on campus very quickly, even if you don't go on Renren (a Chinese social networking site). You might even become the most beautiful girl in the Computer Science Department after classes officially start tomorrow!"

Yan Ruoxuan lowered her head, looking unsure of herself, and said with her long eyelashes trembling, "Don't joke with me. How could I possibly be the most beautiful girl in the college?"

Chen Cheng said with utmost seriousness, "In my opinion, she's definitely going to be the most beautiful girl in the college, and she's not without a chance at being the most beautiful girl in the school!"

Back at the print shop, Chen Cheng registered an account for Yan Ruoxuan, then exported the photos from his digital camera, selected a few really cool ones, uploaded them to Yan Ruoxuan's personal album, and chose one of them as her profile picture.

He guided Yan Ruoxuan step by step through setting up her account permissions, instructing her: "After I open your account to search, everyone who knows your name can search for you and see your profile and photos. But as I just said, they don't have permission to interact with you. The system will send you a notification to everyone who follows you, and you can see their names and information in the list. If they are people you know, you can follow each other and then send messages directly."

"Ok."

Yan Ruoxuan nodded, then waved her hand dismissively: "Anyway, I don't usually have time to go online, so you can keep this account."

Chen Cheng knew she didn't like playing these games, so he asked her, "Do you want to post a status update first? Just a sentence you want others to see."

Yan Ruoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll just send a message like 'Renren is so much fun!'"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "That's too fake. You haven't even played yet."

Yan Ruoxuan said in a serious tone, "I think it's really fun. As your website becomes more and more famous, maybe my high school classmates will find me and follow me. Gradually, many former classmates will be able to reconnect on this platform and see how they are doing now. It's pretty amazing!"

Chen Cheng was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Yan Ruoxuan to have such good observation skills; she had grasped the core of the product right away.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully.

Yan Ruoxuan also liked computers, which is why she applied to the School of Computer Science at Jiangnan University. Moreover, she had excellent grades in her major during her four years of university in her previous life, so she must still have a keen sense for this area.

Unfortunately, Yan Ruoxuan didn't achieve anything in her professional field in her previous life, but if she is properly guided in this life, she might become a leading expert in the computer or internet field in the future.

Seeing that Yan Ruoxuan had no objections to the account, Chen Cheng said, "Then I'll just open up search and promotion directly, and see how fast your follower count grows."

Yan Ruoxuan nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, go ahead and see if anyone will pay attention to me."

Chen Cheng enabled the "Find me through search" option in Yan Ruoxuan's account, then went into the backend and pushed her account to every Jiangda user.

Soon, new followers began to pour in. Although they didn't know who Yan Ruoxuan was, they immediately recognized her as a stunning beauty of school beauty level based on her profile picture and photos, so they naturally followed her first.

Within minutes, Yan Ruoxuan's number of fans exceeded fifty, but the fan list was entirely composed of men.

Yan Ruoxuan was somewhat taken aback and exclaimed, "More than fifty people already?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I have a feeling that your number of fans will exceed five thousand in just a few days!"
