Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"He did die." Danrito nodded. "You still have things to do now, right? Then go ahead."

Xiao Tao was puzzled: "You won't let us work overtime?"

"It won't take a while." Tan Lidou waved his hand nonchalantly, "I also need to make some preparations. Come back to me after you finish your business."

Yuzu naturally refused to go to the Engineering Department with Xiaolu and Xiaomo. Although Yuzu knew the seniors in the Engineering Department, she naturally refused any non-essential outings. Tolerating Danrito's presence was already the highest level of concession Yuzu had ever made!

"Um, Mr. Danrito..." Yuzu finally asked Danrito for her occupied laptop: "Can you give that laptop back to me? I have a lot of files stored in it..."

Honestly, Danrito didn't really need a computer. He could access information anywhere with a network connection, so a computer wasn't even necessary. However, in some situations, a computer could be useful.

"Then take it back." Dan Lidou waved his hand and said, "Xiao Tao, are you guys going to the engineering department? Bring me a computer! Millennium Academy must have a lot of scientific products, right? Bringing a computer shouldn't be a big deal."

"The Engineering Department should have quite a few slightly older computers. Is that okay?" Xiaolu asked. "After all, it's a bit awkward to ask them for the latest models. Utahara-senpai and the others all have computing tasks."

"Need computing? That's great. I'll get a server for me too." Danrito's instructions were as if they were a given. "I'm planning to set up a company server as the update address for the cartridge data. You can take care of all these things while you're at it."

"Conveniently?" Yuzu was stunned. "This is not convenient at all!"

"That's called rational resource allocation." Tan Lidou didn't care at all, even puffing out his chest with pride at his own actions. "That's how it is in the early stages of a business! Be thick-skinned and make use of every resource!"

"Dirty, filthy sir!"

Xiao Tao waved to Alice: "Alright, alright, Sister Alice, just come with us to the Engineering Department. We've already made arrangements there!"

Alice asked, confused, "What kind of place is the Engineering Department?"

"Good question! I'm not very good at answering this question either!"

Xiao Tao said somewhat awkwardly, "But I do know that the seniors in the Engineering Department have been providing weapons maintenance and replacement services to students throughout the school. However, their greatest achievement is in building rockets, a super project that can fly into space!"

"Oh!" Alice exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. Although Alice was as innocent as a newborn, it seemed someone had instilled some basic common sense into her. She had no trouble using most nouns and objects, and naturally understood what a rocket was.

"That's right. If we're talking about who can provide weapons to Sister Alice, it's the Engineering Department."

Xiao Tao said confidently, "Let's go, Sister Alice! Let Utahara-senpai and the others pick out a suitable weapon for you!"

Xiaotao and Xiaolu took Alice out of the game development department's activity room. The engineering department was a very important department in Millennium Academy.

From the repair and renovation of school buildings to the maintenance and replacement of student weapons, the Engineering Department plays a vital role.

Therefore, the Engineering Department has always been one of the departments that receives the most funding. As a result, the Engineering Department's activities are held on the other side of the school, in a very large factory - that is incomparable to the Game Development Department, where the group of students huddled in an activity room that is half the size of a classroom!

"Mr. Danrito... are you here now?"

Yuzu looked at Danrito, who had been twitching from time to time. It wasn't a human twitch, but rather a flickering twitch, like a video missing frames. After Momo, Lu, and the others left, Danrito's eyes began to light up.

Dan Lidou waved his hands: "Don't talk, I'm fighting with a group of people."

"fight?!"

In the cyberspace that cannot be directly observed, Danrito's clone data transforms into his own Kamen Rider image, and is fighting against the overwhelming various attack programs and virus packages!

"Hoohoo! Now you can experience the power of Kamen Rider!"

Danrito swung his sword, severing an attack program that had transformed into a young student holding a rifle. Simultaneously, he pulled the trigger of the worm incubator (in beam gun mode) equipped in his left hand and fired, blasting the virus data robots that had come to support him from afar into a sieve. "I've been fighting these things since a while ago! Someone must be conducting a data attack on me!"

"Data attack? Hackers?" Yuzu was confused. "Don't hackers attack computers? Could your body, Mr. Danrito, also be hacked?"

"Ah...it's a long story, just think of it this way." Danrito answered Yuzu's question here, while in the cyberspace on the other side, the attack became more and more fierce.

"Qing! This strange virus program is so tenacious! I've been attacking it for so long and still can't take it down!"

Maki, a red-haired girl and the righteous hacker of the Truth Society, discovered a 'network virus program' without any license or label, which was nakedly hanging on the Millennium Academy network and stealing data during her routine network security inspection today.

Someone had so obviously released a data-scraping virus and brazenly posted it on Millennium Academy's public network? This was pure provocation!

How could this be tolerated? Maki couldn't tolerate it!

"At first I thought it would be solved quickly, but I didn't expect it to drag on until now..." Maki tearfully begged her good friend Haru, "Please, help me!"

"There's a virus program you can't fix yourself?"

Haru, another powerful hacker from the Truth Society, approached with her long white hair tied back in a ponytail and a Yo-Kai MAX drink in hand. Her eyes scanned the screen, her initial indifference turning to confusion within seconds. "Is this a virus program? So intelligent?"

qun九五零⒈８○⑨○九

6. Be brave, my friend. Even if there is no rainbow tomorrow.

"Is this a virus program? Isn't it too intelligent?"

Qing watched as the various attack codes sent out by his attack program were destroyed as if they were "intercepted". There were even several code packages of the attack program that were directly tracked down and cleared by the opponent. He couldn't help but frown even deeper.

The members of the Truth Society have faced quite a few hacker attacks. Maki and the other hackers' daily duties are to patrol the campus network security. There are always criminals who want to invade the Millennium Academy network, or students who want to cause trouble online, or perhaps the Truth Society members just want to use hacking technology to get what they want...

There are always various reasons to encounter things that require hacking skills to solve, but every time, everyone in the Truth Society can solve it perfectly!

"Xiaoyu, are you free? Come and help me!"

Qing's brain was working at full capacity, and she began to call up more attack programs. "Let me borrow all the attack codes you wrote!"

"What happened, Haru? Don't interrupt me while I'm gathering intel."

Xiaoyu was still reading the news. Recently, other academies hadn't been peaceful either, and the various news reports were showing a worrying trend. Xiaoyu was sorting through the information, trying to come to a correct conclusion to analyze the situation.

"It's even more important than the news!" Maki's eyes turned into circles. "We encountered a very powerful virus program on the Millennium Academy website. Haru-chan and I have used all our attack programs, but we can't do anything about it! It's very troublesome!"

"Is there such a powerful virus?" Xiaoyu pushed up her glasses. "Didn't the attack program left by Minister Himari start?"

"No matter what, a hacker's pride won't allow him to just use his ultimate move!" Maki insisted, "Only use that when there's absolutely no other choice!"

Everyone in the Truth Society is a hacker, and the Minister Himari mentioned by Xiaoyu is the previous minister of their Truth Society, the star Himari.

He claimed to be a supremely gifted, sickly hacker, a holder of the degree of "omniscience" granted to only three individuals in millennia... perhaps that was the case? A genius whose hacking skills surpassed those of the three members of the Truth Society combined, and whose attack package they left behind was what the three called their "trump card." Using that would mean they and their group had truly encountered an insurmountable problem, and at the same time, an alert would be sent to Himari.

"Using that would be like admitting defeat!" Maki muttered gloomily. "Inviting Minister Himari, who has already left the Truth Society, wouldn't that mean none of us three can do anything about this strange virus?"

"But is there really such a difficult virus?"

Qing no longer had the relaxed look she had at the beginning. Hacker attacks didn't require a fool to type on the keyboard like in the movies. Most of the attacks were done by pre-written programs, which only took up the computing power of the host.

Under the attack of this "unknown virus", more than two-thirds of the hosts and servers of the entire Truth Society were running at full power, the air-conditioning system was fully started, and the entire studio was busy.

In cyberspace, Danrito, the incarnation of a data life form, has transformed into a LV2 form, holding two weapons and continuously attacking, facing the increasingly surging enemy forces!

"Why does it feel like I'm facing my own zombie army? Is this playing 20 Minutes to Dawn?"

Danrito pressed the button of the special move with the ray gun in his hand, and the burst of ray of light cleared out a large area of ​​data debris in one breath, but more debris also rushed up and replenished the space that had been defeated before.

One of the great advantages of Danrito being a data life form is that when in cyberspace, he can view things happening in cyberspace in a concrete form.

Hostile antivirus software becomes a visible enemy, and defeating it blocks its attacks in code. Problems that require coding outside of a computer are treated like everyday combat by a living being embodied in data!

"I guess it's some antivirus software out there, trying to remove me, the alien from the network."

Danrito finally understood why he'd been attacked. Previously, no one had ever been able to pursue him in cyberspace. As long as he hid online, antivirus software of the same era wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

However, this world is not without its share of computer experts. In the technologically oriented Millennium Academy, not only the Truth Society but even ordinary hacker enthusiasts are capable of launching cyberattacks. Especially the star, Hinami, known as the "genius sickly beauty," is a one-in-a-million hacker expert—perhaps even capable of competing with Danri.

Therefore, after the Truth Society finally surrendered and used the "Super Virus Countermeasure Toolkit" left by Himari, the firepower attack suffered by Danrito suddenly increased to a higher level!

"Tsk! If it weren't for the one billion that I couldn't use, how could I, as a Kami, be suppressed like this!"

Danrito hid behind a wall made of data. He had thrown his real-world body directly into cyberspace. Over at Yuzu's side in the game development department, Danrito vanished into the network interface on the wall, leaving her alone to look around in panic.

"Mr. Danrito!? Why did he suddenly disappear?!"

Yuzu circled the activity room in confusion, but Danrito had no time to explain. Faced with a growing data onslaught, unable to use his all-conquering "Billion," Danrito, forced to transform into his Level 2 form with "All-Action X," was in real danger!

"Have the enemy's attack frequency and firepower increased... Could it be that they have external reinforcements?"

Danrito stretched out his hand, drawing a light curtain to block the overwhelming barrage of bullets. The opposing army, composed of data, had transformed from a mediocre student unit into a full-fledged mechanized force equipped with standard weapons and operating armored vehicles. Danrito, alone on the scene, was truly pinned to a corner, unable to move!

"The All-Action Armor's ability to handle large groups of enemies like this is definitely lacking..." Danrito reached out and used his beam gun special move to knock down an advancing armored vehicle. "If only I had the 'Energy Bike'... The Flywheel Armor would be a piece of cake in situations like this."

Danrito reached out and felt the power of the "God's Limit X" cartridge within him. However, for some reason, he couldn't remove it to use as his transformation tool.

"Even a billion of power can't be mobilized. Is there something missing?" Tan Lidou irritably shook his hands. "I originally wanted to wipe out all these things and then follow the network line to find them. Without full strength recovery, even doing anything is so difficult—"

Danrito snapped his fingers, and his remaining life count flashed beside him. Honestly, after developing the Divine Billion, he no longer thought he'd lose his life. However, that thought vanished when a certain knight shattered his life force.

"There are 99 lives remaining. After the reset, even the remaining life force is reset."

Danrito closed the panel and inserted the cartridge into the special move slot at his side. "This is actually cheating - but I don't care!"

The winning move——!

Mighty Critical Strike! !

All the ultimate skills in his body and soul gathered at his feet. Danrito jumped high into the air and aimed at the port in front of him that was reinforced by a wall of data - I can't do anything to you online, but you are the real you offline!

"Follow the network cable to hit someone!!"

7. We’ll be at your activity room door soon!

A powerful knight's kick pierced the defensive line of data soldiers before him, like a cavalryman on a heavily armored steed, spear drawn, charging into a formation of common soldiers. The power of the knight's kick had been amplified to its limit. With the added power of idealistic force, the force would be terrifying beyond imagination. However, in the data world, Danrito simply used this power to smash through the enemy's defenses with unstoppable force, charging towards his destination—the gateway port!

"Let me see who gave me such a big gift—"

As Danrito advanced rapidly, approaching the network interface, the three girls from the Truth Society began to panic. In their eyes, the strange, powerful virus program, finally suppressed by the super attack package left by Himari-senpai and seemingly under siege by various attack programs, had, in a way they couldn't understand, broken through the network of numerous disinfection programs and even targeted the location of them, the hackers!

"Wuuuuuu! Tama! What should I do? What should I do?" Maki was frantic. "The Truth Society's IP address has been discovered! The hacker failed in his duty!"

"Strange... we should be using a virtual address..." Xiaoyu, the girl with glasses, pursed her lips, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and her hands moved quickly: "I'm re-encrypting our IP address!"

Qing yelled, "It's too late! An unidentified data stream is attacking our server!"

"Mobilize all your computing power to stop it! Maki!"

Usuki 0 also II glimpse and beg for

"The opponent is very fast! It's impossible to stop him!"

A red light lit up in the room of the Truth Society and an alarm sounded. That was the alarm that would sound when the most important server of the Truth Society was about to be breached. When the red light came on, it meant that all of the Truth Society's network defenses were about to fail. Now, there was only one final plan to be implemented, and it was also the most humiliating plan.

"Maki! Turn off the power!!"

Maki stood up. Above the array host where she was, there was a lever closest to her. It was covered with a plastic cover and had a conspicuous yellow and black logo on it. Pulling this lever down would physically cut off the power to all the computers, servers, and terminals running in the Truth Society. Afterwards, the mechanism built by the engineering department would automatically and physically unplug all network terminals, thus saving the Truth Society at the cost of giving up the cloud.

"It's over..." Without hesitation, she pulled the power off lever, and the surroundings became pitch black. Maki slumped down in a chair with sadness: "The Truth Society lost..."

"I've never been defeated so miserably..." Haru's heart was filled with bitterness, and the can of Yokai MAX drink in his hand was crushed. "Even with the weapons left by Minister Himari, we couldn't defeat it, and we were forced to this point..."

"I don't understand how that program managed to crack our attack." Xiaoyu took off her glasses and rubbed her dry eyes. "If it were before, at least I could understand the structure of the program and its attack strategy, but this virus program..."

Recalling the strange virus program's attack, its random yet seemingly selective attack method, Xiaoyu had a thought: "Could it be... artificial intelligence?"

Maki raised her head. "Xiaoyu, are you saying that the virus that attacked us is intelligent?"

"It's just a guess." Xiaoyu nodded and said seriously, "Its attacks aren't like regular virus attacks, but each attack is selective. Every time this strange virus attacks, an unrecognizable data stream suddenly appears within our attack program."

"The last time, when the alarm was sounded, that unrecognizable data stream suddenly increased dozens of times, breaking through our firewall in an incomprehensible way."

Xiaoyu sorted it out, "Perhaps it's some kind of artificial intelligence created with technology that surpasses our Truth Society..."

Nourishes—

A strange voice rang out, interrupting Xiaoyu's reasoning, and what shocked everyone was that the voice came from the server room of the Truth Society.

"what sound?"

Maki reached out and hugged his machine gun in his arms. Qing and Xiaoyu beside him also took out their small pistols, looking nervous: "Impossible? The network and power are already physically cut off. How can they still track us?"

crunch.

Click, click, click.

In the blacked-out activity room, from the sealed server room, where one was certain no one was, a strange noise suddenly erupted, followed by footsteps. Even colder than the air conditioner set to 16 degrees Celsius was this ghost story segment that no millennial student would believe.

"Nannannan, could it be a ghost?" Maki's eyes had turned into circles. "We can't take the engine room anymore! Let's open fire together! Use incendiary bombs! Use mortars!"

"No, don't scare yourself!" Qing yelled. "A good materialist wouldn't be afraid of ghost stories! They're just scary!"

squeak-

The door of the computer room was held down by a purple hand.

"Alas!!"

As the door of the computer room was slowly opened, a pair of huge red eyes emitted a faint red light in the darkness.

"Found you!"

“Aa ...
