My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1861

Such an invasion had left her opponent no way to fight back. Even the host had never seen such an intense competition before. "In our past competitions, most people just crashed their opponents' computers. This is the first time someone has blacked out their opponent's computer directly."

The atmosphere was exhilarating! Just as the host and the crowd were cheering, Gary could not hold on any longer and shouted, "I can't take it anymore!"

Immediately, his computer blacked out. However, unlike others, his face showed no sense of defeat. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction. "Sheesh! This match was spectacular!" Gary exclaimed. He finally fulfilled his long-awaited dream to compete until he was worn out while taking on his idol. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Gary turned to look at Ryder.

Ryder was typing very intensely and quickly on the keyboard. His forehead was littered with sweat too. However, he was doomed to failure with no power to turn the tables. After two minutes, Ryder could not take it and gave up. His screen instantly blacked out. Ryder breathed a sigh of relief, and he could feel the fatigue in his hands.

Gary noticed and handed him a bottle of water, smiling. "So? Was it exciting?"

However, Ryder was staring at Nicole. "It was. She's indeed powerful. We still have a long way to go."

Ryder has always been working hard to catch up with the idol in their hearts. They thought they were getting closer to her skills, but they found out today that they were still too naive. Nicole had probably not shown her true strength until now.

The host excitedly announced, "Let me announce this year's third place goes to Ryder Finley!"

"Woohoo!" Loud cheers rang out continuously. The people from Royal Creek Institute were feeling rather proud of Ryder. Mr. Zach was in high spirits. "Way to go, Ryder!"

Although Ryder lost to Zeke, he still got third place. Besides that, Preston and Gary were fourth and fifth place, which were pretty good results. To his surprise, the one on stage competing with Zeke was Nicole. Looking at the big screen, even Mr. Zach as a layman could see that Nicole was not in a vulnerable situation. Her attacks seemed more aggressive than Zeke's.
