I am weak and friendly

Chapter 241 The entire internet is waiting for Hirako to reach 1500 points.

While netizens on L-site were enthusiastically discussing Tang Yiping's industry commentary, a post Tang Yiping made on the forum immediately became the most popular post on the entire website:

Live broadcast! Tonight, your favorite Hirako is aiming for 1500 points on Markos!

"Dreams! Passion! Forge ahead! Youth is all about limitless possibilities! Hello everyone, I'm Pingzi, your Marksman with a score of 1407! A programmer with dreams will never be satisfied with 1407 points forever! An ambitious programmer should always challenge himself! Because everyone says my code is too mediocre, to prove my strength and break everyone's stereotypes about me, your beloved Pingzi has decided to aim for 1500 points on Marksman! Tonight from 20:00 PM to 22:00 PM, Marksman Weekly Contest, see you there!"

"Please note that you must not mention any problem-solving strategies or code during the live stream. Master Pingzi will rely on his own strength to crush the competition!"

"It's time to show our true strength!"

"Tremble before the power of Boss Hirako!"

Everyone was momentarily dazed.

What the hell?

We were just discussing how Pingzi's industry commentary was revolutionary and enlightening.

He single-handedly raised the industry standard.

Is Pingzi now aiming for 1500 points on Maike.com?
Is there any comparability between these two?

This feeling is like a top academic scholar who has already published in a top journal suddenly having to participate in a kindergarten academic competition.

This is a bit too... abstract.

Most people were confused, and they left messages below asking for advice:

"I haven't been to Maike.com for a long time. Has Maike.com changed? Is 1500 points the highest score?"

"No, it hasn't been changed. The score of 1500 is still the initial score."

"So now, the lower the score, the better?"

"No, the higher the score, the better."

"What's the story behind Hirako's 1407 points?"

"That is, the current situation of Pingzi, who has 1407 points."

"Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture!"

"6666, is Pingzi playing with abstract art? I love abstract art! I'll definitely support him!"

"Where is the live stream? I want to watch Hirako's abstract art online tonight!"

"I've already reported to the leadership, and they've decided that we'll all have dinner together tonight and then collectively study Pingzi's tournament strategies in the conference room."

"Wow, is Maike.com this advanced now? Back in our day, only elementary school students were aiming for high scores... What kind of competition is it? I want to participate too!"

However, just as Tang Yiping thought, most people in this world wouldn't understand just how brilliant his industry commentary really was.

The forum bigwigs, who used to be just background figures with their "I'm so uncultured, all I can do is 'fuck' them" attitude, couldn't even understand the discussions. Now, suddenly, they have something else to discuss.

"Although, my Marksman website has a whopping 1600 points!"

"I just registered a new account, and I'm already higher than Pingzi."

"We've found Pingzi's ID and sent a friend request. Please accept it, Pingzi!"

L-site is, after all, just an industry forum, and its overall traffic is limited.

As expected, the popularity of other posts gradually decreased due to the siphon effect of Tang Yiping's abstract post.

The incessant warning messages in front of Tang Yiping finally subsided.

Tang Yiping breathed a sigh of relief.

With some effort, [Tang, the mediocre coder] might be able to keep his job!
"Is this... a turning point?" Shen Hong had been watching Tang Yiping's actions from the sidelines. Although he didn't quite understand, he did understand Tang Yiping's original intention of wanting a "mediocre persona".

After all, everyone needs a false identity when they're out in the world, right?

Just like his name is Shen Hong, and Gao Ming's name is Gao Ming.

"Hmm... let's see how I perform tonight." Tang Yiping clenched his fist: "Pingzi, good luck! Show everyone your true abilities! Let everyone know just how weak you really are!"

Shen Hong: "..."

Although he didn't know much about programming, and didn't understand the abstract concepts of today's young people, but...

He always felt that something about Tang Yiping's words sounded off.

Then he saw several technicians loitering around nearby.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

"We...want to find Professor Hirako."

Shen Hong assumed these people had some technical questions for Tang Yiping, so he waved his hand, indicating that they should ask them themselves.

Then these people gathered around and asked, "Teacher Pingzi, are you planning to do a live stream tonight?"

Do you need a property manager?

"Let me set up the live streaming environment for you! I've done this before, so I'm very familiar with it!"

Shen Hong: "???"

So you're just here to watch the show, huh?

……

On the 8th floor of Qihang Building, Gao Yuxiang is working diligently.

He looked serious, his brows furrowed, his hands clapping rapidly on the keyboard. Occasionally he would pause, furrow his brow, and ponder for a moment, as if he were seriously trying to solve some coding problem.

From any angle, he seemed to be seriously coding.

Until he suddenly burst out laughing.

Ze, who was sitting next to her, was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

He said, "Pingzi is going to do a live stream."

"Why is he doing live streaming?" Ze Ge was a little confused. No matter how down on his luck Pingzi was, he didn't need to become an internet celebrity.

"you guess."

Zege used her limited imagination: "Live stream code censorship?"

She felt that this was probably the only thing worth broadcasting live.

Perhaps Hirako intends to use this method to increase OIFU's influence?

"No, guess again."

"I can't guess..."

"Live on Maike.com to reach 1500 points."

Ze Ge: "???"

"Right!" Gao Yuxiang suppressed a laugh.

"Why?" Ze asked, bewildered. "Are scores on Maike.com really that useful?"

"I think he doesn't want others to think he's very capable," Gao Yuxiang said after a moment's thought.

"why?"

"The troubles of being famous," Gao Yuxiang said.

Li Ze scratched his slightly messy hair and shook his head.

Li Ze, as an industry expert, has always been a relatively well-known figure in the field, but her fame is several orders of magnitude lower than that of other well-known individuals in other industries. She has never felt that being famous has caused any trouble.

"Sigh, I don't understand... Maybe I haven't reached that level yet." After saying that, she frowned and looked at the screen again, seemingly continuing to ponder some difficult problem.

But if you look closely, you'll find that her screen isn't a programming interface, but rather OIFU's PR interface, and the mascot is secretly learning the legendary "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party".

After a while, she looked up at Gao Yuxiang: "Will you watch then?"

"Look! How can you not watch this kind of fun?!"

"Then together."

……

At the same time, another Qihang Building.

A cleaner knelt on the ground, wiping the floor inch by inch with a rag.

Suddenly, a roar came from the next room.

"asshole!"

Then, with a "bang," something hit the door.

"Tell those doctors that if they can't find the cause, they should all die! All of them, die!"

Even though she knew it wasn't directed at her personally, the cleaner still trembled with fear.

He quickly sped up, intending to leave this place as soon as possible.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly saw a mouse hiding in the corner.

In that instant, the man and the mouse stared at each other.

It was a brown rat with a white patch on its back, and black eyes the size of beans, possessing a unique intelligence.

In that instant, the cleaner felt as if he were staring at a person, not a mouse.

The cleaner instinctively wanted to scream, but then suddenly remembered something and quickly covered her mouth.

He didn't dare make even the slightest movement, afraid the security cameras would spot his mistake. He gently picked up the rag, unfolded it, and then...

Before he could pounce forward, the rat had already turned the corner.

As it passed by, the cleaner noticed that it seemed to be dragging something.

The cleaner hesitated for a second, but finally decided to pretend that she hadn't seen anything.

He wiped the corner of the wall with a rag, erasing the line of tiny footprints.

……

"Hiss... Bastards! They're all bastards! Useless! Hiss... A bunch of useless trash!"

In the stairwell of the basement of a building opposite Qihang Building, Fan Zhihong listened carefully to the sound coming from his headphones, adjusting the signal cautiously until he heard a familiar voice. He knew then that the little mouse had succeeded.

Lagrange, well done!
Hearing Young Master Tang's angry roar, a smile crept onto his lips.

Rumor has it that Young Master Tang tripped and fell when he got up this morning, which made him furious. He then took his anger out on the doctors at the hospital, and now the doctors are all on edge, afraid that they will be the ones to examine Young Master Tang.

It now appears that this was not just a rumor.

Although he sympathized with the unfortunate doctor, he could easily guess why Young Master Tang's health had deteriorated again.

Well done, Tang!

Then he heard a familiar voice.

That was Captain Li's voice.

"Young Master, the experts on the committee say that your symptoms may be due to..."

As he spoke, Captain Li's voice suddenly lowered, and even when Fan Zhihong tried to turn his voice up, he still couldn't hear him clearly.

Then I was almost scared to death by Young Master Tang's roar.

"What? Him? What did he do?!" Young Master Tang roared.

Fan Zhihong quickly adjusted his voice back to normal and then rubbed his ears vigorously.

Then his heart sank.

These guys... they've discovered the truth.

They wouldn't do anything to Tang, would they?

“As you know, the boss strictly forbids any of us from getting close to him or having any contact with him, so this information can only be gathered through the internet… According to my current intelligence, ‘he’ has open-sourced a software called OIFU online, which is currently very popular in the open-source community,” Captain Li said.

"OIFU? What does that do?"

"Uh... According to the report, this is an app that allows people to open the Lingxi vending machine of [Touchpoint Interconnect] and take out expired food from it."

"What???" Even from his voice, Tang Shao Ye's expression was full of confusion. "Touchpoint Interconnection? How did he get access to Touchpoint Interconnection? Opening a vending machine to take expired food? What's the use of this application?"

"Uh... some people may be in trouble, they're out of food, so they need this app to get through this temporarily..."

"Why? Why don't they go to a restaurant to eat? That way they can eat whatever they want," Young Master Tang asked.

"Uh...maybe they have to pay to eat at restaurants too," Captain Li explained helplessly.

"Is that so?" Young Master Tang's voice was still full of doubt. "I still can't figure out what the use of this thing is. How can this broken thing affect the flow of negative entropy..."

"Yes, that's true... It's really not very useful; it can only help some marginalized people who have no value in society," Captain Li said.

"Why do these people waste so much effort on such pointless things?" Young Master Tang scoffed. "Marginalized people should be abandoned. Keeping them around only increases entropy. They're more useful as resources... That [0xT1P] is writing FOEW, and that idiot is writing OIFU. What's the point of all this? They should all be sent to be talents. This world doesn't need so much trash..."

Captain Li echoed his agreement.

Then he cautiously continued, "But... the committee's experts said that it might be because of the OIFU he wrote that this transfer phenomenon occurred. They named this phenomenon the 'Dominos-Ira' effect... According to the committee's experts' research, the 'Junker-Wutan method' phenomenon that caused our previous abnormal entropy increase is also related to the FOEW written by [0xT1P]. The experts believe that these programs played some unknown role, leading to the local accumulation of negative entropy, which ultimately led to abnormal flow. This is a phenomenon that has never appeared before, and they have not yet been able to give a detailed explanation for this abnormal disturbance..."

"Useless! Useless! What can they do besides naming things? What's the point of keeping them around! I'm going to send them all to be trained as talents!"

Then came another burst of smashing and roaring.

Fan Zhihong quickly took off his headphones and moved away.

Several times he felt the voices were unusually close, and he couldn't help but worry for Lagrange.

Fortunately, Lagrange was not discovered.

After a long while, Young Master Tang regained his composure.

Young Master Tang asked, "Haven't you found out who [0xT1P] is yet?"

"[0xT1P] is related to Linghai Technology, and 'he' is also at Linghai Technology, so our people dare not approach. Currently, investigations in other directions are progressing slowly..."

"Useless! [0xT1P], [0xT1P] can't be found! You can't even handle that bastard! What use are you! Believe me or not, I'll send you all to be used as human resources!"

Captain Li fell silent, admitting his mistake repeatedly.

"If you don't dare to investigate, I will! If you can't solve it, I will! [0xT1P]'s talent can only be mine!" Young Master Tang snorted coldly, and then said, "Where is that person's OIFU open sourced? I'll go take a look! I will deal with this guy personally."

Captain Li reported the details and then said, "According to the latest news, he plans to do a live broadcast tonight."

"Live stream? Live stream what?"

"Live on Maike.com to reach 1500 points."

Young Master Tang: "???"

No, is this all my lifelong rival is capable of?
