Chapter 1699
Nicole began to size Ryder up.
Suddenly, she felt the seat beside her moving.
Her eyes darted sideways and she immediately saw Preston and Edwin.
"Nicole! You're here too?" Preston asked, feeling quite excited when he saw Nicole.
The school's computer competition was usually conducted through the simple process of drafting a few unlucky souls in class to make up the numbers. It was only until the citylevel competition, in which the wheat had been separated from the chaff, that the pros would duke it out.
However, for Nicole's identity and level of skill, participating in a national competition in a developing country was truly a disservice to her talents.
Nicole too wore a helpless look on her face. "Yeah, no one in class registered for this."
That was why the teacher had picked her.
"But your class has quite a few capable folks, right?" Preston glanced at the general direction of Bradley, Wayne and Jack.
The mention of this reminded her that she was still a little mad at Bradley. "If that bugger had raised his hand earlier I wouldn't have needed to come. Long story short. Meh."
Preston smiled coyly. "It's alright. Just think of it as a game."
When Gary heard that, he felt as if Preston seemed to know something. 'Is it possible that he knows Nicole's identity?'
Thinking that perhaps he was the one who had known nothing all along, Gary could not help but feel deflated, feeling like an absolute fool.
"So be it. I want to see how a pro does it." After she had said that, Nicole glanced at Ryder on the stage.
Gary was suddenly sweating profusely. 'Sh*t, Ryder probably ran into a brick wall this time."
At that moment, the teacher had already gotten Ryder to commence with the briefing of today's test. "What people love the most when it comes to tech, is cracking. So I've come up with a question for all of you today. If you can crack the code in this test, then I shall believe that you will have no issues acing the city-level tests."
As he said that, Ryder tapped on his laptop and sent a compilation of viruses to everyone's computer.
"Eh? We're tasked to crack a virus?" they asked.
