"You! You don't have a grandfather…"
"Are you Scholar Lin?"
Upon hearing this, Old Ma and the others instantly fell into a daze. All of them pointed at Lin Zai, unable to speak properly. But then, they frowned again.
"Lin brat, we just want to visit your grandfather. You don't have to give us the runaround. Besides, you know Scholar Lin's research level in the field of computer science. He can achieve great results if he wants to.”
"Young man, it's not that I don't believe it, but you know this type... Ah right, how powerful was the Babel system? Even the few of us old fellows can't crack the encryption method alone. This isn't something that can be done at your age.”
Lin Zai understood after hearing the mocking words. It seemed that these people took his words as bragging. They even thought that there was a groundless grandfather behind him, making these old men want to pay him a visit.
After thinking about all this, Lin Zai knew that the Babel system would allow him to enter the competition. However, at the same time, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
Indeed, he was too young to be trusted. However, Lin Zai wanted to let more people know that science did not care about age.
At his age, he could only attract more viewers and fans by developing heaven-defying black technology.
This way, it would be beneficial for him to implant the black technology faster.
Lin Zai opened his mouth.
"Let's not talk about scholars for now. Let me enter the competition first. When the competition is over, you'll know what you want to know.”
Lin Zai knew that no matter how much he said, these old men would not believe him. Therefore, he was prepared to crack the Tower of Babel on stage!
After all, to make people believe in him, strength was always more practical than words.
Hearing this, Old Ma and the others revealed uncomfortable expressions. Obviously, they thought that their humility towards Scholar Lin had made Lin Zai complacent.
"Humph! Young man, just because we respect your grandfather doesn't mean that we will bow down to you.”
"If you want to try, that's fine. But let's be frank. Regardless of whether you pass the qualifiers or not, you have to arrange for us to contact Scholar Lin later.”
Old Ma and the others looked at each other and immediately agreed. Then, he pulled a staff member beside him and whispered a few words to him. Immediately after, someone led Lin Zai to the stage.
Soon, Lin Zai went on stage.
It was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon. The thousands of spectators in the venue all had their eyes on Lin Zai.
"What happened? Wasn't the contestant an old scholar?”
"Why did you bring a child up?"
"Wait, what is he doing!"
As soon as Lin Zaigang appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience. However, due to Old Ma's introduction of Babel's encryption method being too heaven-defying, all the audience instinctively thought that the person who developed Babel was a highly respected old scholar.
Just as the audience was discussing animatedly, the staff member told the host what Old Ma and the others had said.
Instantly, the host's face revealed a shocked expression. However, his many years of hosting skills allowed him to maintain his composure. Then, he came to Lin Zai's side and introduced him.
"Dear viewers, I just received news that Scholar Lin might not be able to come to the venue in person. However, the young man standing on the stage was Scholar Lin's junior and would be participating in the competition in his place.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience exploded. They were here to watch the scientific research competition, not to watch the shady business.
"Are you kidding me? It's obvious that he used the back door! We're here to see the real deal!"
"Black curtain! Shady!"
"Black curtain…"
For a time, the audience who didn't buy it became more and more vocal, and the host didn't know what to do. But at this moment, Lin Zai suddenly took the microphone.
"Everyone, calm down. Let me explain. The host's words just now were a little mistaken. There was no Lin Scholar. I was Lin Zai himself. The Babel System was developed by me alone. Perhaps because I was too young, the staff made up a groundless old scholar!”
"Whoosh!"
It would have been fine if Lin Zai hadn't said this, but when he did, the audience was in an uproar. At the same time, the reporters in the corridor also pressed the shutter of their flashlights crazily.
If Old Ma and the others had admitted that a dark horse had appeared in this competition, it could only be considered information. Whether Lin Zai was telling the truth or not, it was a huge piece of news. It was enough to get them a promotion and a raise.
The spectators were not afraid of things getting out of hand. The audience also began to discuss, not hiding the mockery in their voices.
"F * ck, this young man! You're really not afraid of the wind hurting your tongue!"
"Awesome, you dare to brag like this. If that system was really designed by him, I'll go home tonight and livestream my dick-chopping!”
"Seriously, the shady business is still so natural. It was really a disgrace to the scholar who designed the software! Wait a minute... What is he going to do!"
Lin Zai was mentally prepared for the audience's reaction. Therefore, he didn't explain much after saying that. He went straight to the only computer on the stage and sat down.
Only facts could prove everything. Moreover, there might be unexpected gains from his plans to become famous.
Thinking of this, Lin Zai sat down. As soon as he placed his hands on the keyboard, a special feeling immediately appeared in his mind. It was as if his hands had been tapping on the keyboard countless times, and the operation was like flowing water.
In the next second, Lin Zai moved. He opened the software and started cracking the password.
At the same time, his situation and his computer desktop were also broadcasted to the nearly 1,000 audience members through the big screen behind the stage.
"Stop! Don't touch it carelessly. Once this system fails, it's no joke!”
"Hurry up and make him stop, or the computer will crash!”
"Wait a minute…What do you think he's doing?"
