Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1010

The breathless gasps sent a cold spike of panic through Bianca's chest, her triumphant smile vanishing instantly.

"What flawless logic? What architecture? It's just a cheat code!" she snapped, her voice pitching up in desperation. "What are you all talking about?"

The head of the technical committee, Official Barrett, was known internationally for being incredibly strict and uncompromising.

Yet right now, his hands shook with excitement. He stared at the data pathways on the monitor as if he were looking at the Holy Grail.

None of the experts paid Bianca any attention.

Their eyes were glued to the code.

Slowly, they turned to stare at Serena, who was still lounging comfortably in her chair.

Their gazes burned with fanatic awe. "Miss... Miss Serena?"

Official Barrett's voice cracked. He stared at her with burning intensity. "Did you write this code just now?"

Serena let out a soft breath, lazily lifting her gaze to meet his. "Why? Is there a problem?"

"No problem! Absolutely no problem at all!" Official Barrett yelled, nearly losing his voice.

Frantic with adrenaline, he snatched the microphone from The Hope Initiative's desk, spinning around to address the stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a comprehensive diagnostic and rigorous inspection by our technical committee..."

"The Hope Initiative's data is completely flawless."

"There are no illegal exploits, no third-party hacks, and no unauthorized intrusions."

"Every single keystroke executed by Serena Lancaster was one hundred percent compliant with the rules!"

The arena erupted into absolute chaos.

"She didn't even answer the questions! How could she accumulate a score? If that isn't a cheat, what is?"

"It certainly isn't a cheat!" Official Barrett shot Bianca a look of utter pity, pointing enthusiastically at Serena's monitor. "This is raw strategy. Pure skill. Unmatched technical dominance!"

When he looked back at Serena's screen, his face flushed red with uncontainable excitement.

"Miss Lancaster didn't just deploy a standard virus!"

"She engineered a Predatory Resource Hijacking Protocol!"

"To put it simply, while staying strictly within the boundaries of the rules, she built a Central Data Relay Node on the local network."

"Every time your team answered a question correctly, your data packets were routed straight through her node before hitting the server."

"So, she didn't just intercept your points—she hijacked your processing power to run her own calculations!"
