At the same time, in order to understand English, he even went out of his way to get a translation software. With his intelligence, learning English wouldn’t have been difficult, but he simply didn’t like using any language other than Chinese, so he never bothered to learn it.

However, even so, since he needed to study some technical terms, he still had no choice but to figure out English. Although he couldn’t speak it, he could now understand it.

This is the helplessness of life—some things are simply unavoidable.

At this moment, in front of a large screen in the base, a tough-looking old man was standing, scolding the person next to him: “This is our most advanced computer, and yet you’re telling me it’s been hacked, and the hack was successful.”

The person beside him replied, “Yes, General. If someone hadn’t discovered that data was being downloaded, we wouldn’t have known we’d been hacked at all. The person who did this is definitely a top expert.”

“Have you found the source of the intrusion?” the general asked, frowning.

“We can only trace it to a satellite owned by Japan. We haven’t found the real source yet—it’ll take more time.”

“Japan?” The general fell into thought. Although on the surface everyone was strategic partners, the competition behind the scenes never stopped. The general was well aware of this, so he immediately ordered an investigation to find out what was going on.

At this moment, Brian Carter was still looking at data from the American base when suddenly his defense program displayed “Warning!!” on another monitor.

His first reaction was to disconnect, but he immediately had another idea. He quickly tapped on the keyboard, hacking into Japan’s network. He redirected America’s trace to Japan, pinned the Japanese intrusion on America, then went back to hacking the American network, stirring up a cyber war between the two countries.

“You keep working, I’m going out for a late-night snack.” He ordered the AI program to continue wreaking havoc on the American and Japanese networks, and also took the opportunity to test the program.

Brian Carter hopped on his Forever bicycle and sped to a ramen shop on the street, ordering a bowl of ramen.

After finishing his ramen, Brian Carter left the shop. He saw a beautiful woman walking toward him from across the street (in his mind, he was fantasizing—the woman was just crossing the street, but Brian Carter happened to be on this side).

But isn’t the light red right now? There’s no need for the beauty to rush over to me. Just as Brian Carter was thinking this, he saw a BMW speeding down the road, and the woman noticed it too, but didn’t know what to do and just stood there, frozen. Brian Carter calculated that even if the car braked now, it would still hit her (don’t ask how he could figure this out—Brian Carter is a genius in this area).

Without thinking, Brian Carter instinctively let go of his bike and ran over at the fastest speed of his life, leaping to push the woman out of the way. The woman was pushed aside, but he knew he was definitely going to get hit. However, he had just pushed the woman’s chest, and it felt really nice.

“Bang…” With a loud crash, Brian Carter felt himself flying. In fact, he really was flying—he’d been hit and sent airborne.

“Bang…” Another loud crash, and Brian Carter lost consciousness.

Very soon, Brian Carter was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his heart had already stopped on the way.

Just like that, Brian Carter left this world. As the saying goes, I left quietly, not taking away a single cloud. But he did leave many things behind—he just didn’t know it himself.

After learning that the person who saved her had died, the beautiful woman waited at the hospital for Brian Carter’s parents to arrive and claim his body. Knowing that Brian Carter was their only son, she decided to take care of the two elderly people for the rest of their lives.

But the trouble Brian Carter left behind was that AI program. From the moment he ordered it to continue, the program kept causing trouble for both countries, inflicting huge losses. The US and Japan tried every possible method, but simply couldn’t stop the program from hacking their networks.

At first, both countries thought the other was behind the attacks. It wasn’t until Japan protested to the US that America realized it wasn’t Japan.

The news quickly spread around the world, and every corner of the globe was speculating about which power this hacker organization belonged to. With such technical prowess, it was simply unimaginable. They never dreamed that it was just a program created by Brian Carter. In the end, with no other options, the US and Japan jointly issued a bounty for this “hacker organization,” with a record reward of one billion US dollars.

It wasn’t until a week later, when the beautiful woman accompanied Brian Carter’s parents to collect his belongings, that they discovered what Brian Carter had left behind! As it turned out, this beautiful woman was also a well-known international IT entrepreneur, so she naturally understood the value of these things and reported them to the authorities. It wasn’t that she didn’t want them, but when she saw the monitors, she realized these computers were the cause of the chaos in the US and Japan.

During that week alone, the direct economic losses to the US and Japan exceeded 60 billion US dollars, and if you included indirect losses, the number was astronomical. Such a huge mess was not something she could handle, and besides, she was a patriot and would never sell this to the US or Japan.

When the Chinese Academy of Sciences got their hands on these things, all they could do was sigh. In the end, they were left numb, completely unable to extricate themselves!
