Chapter 447: World Hacker Rankings!
The virus rankings were updated .
Every country's reaction was different .
Panda Burning Incense had managed to get ranked in second place amongst the notorious ranking of dangerous viruses, yet it was congratulated and cheered on by the people of China . This made Zhang Ye at a loss of whether to laugh or cry . However, after thinking about it, wasn't he such a person? He was also an ordinary citizen of China . He did not have such broad horizons, nor was he that refined . He, too, was a Chinese national who loved to see the world burn, and enjoyed watching the bustle, cursing, swearing, and even if provocated, would even beat others . A satisfied balance of gratitude and revenge was a portrayal of them as a people . What about world peace or morality or the meaning of life? He didn't think much about that at all . If he was angry, he would hit back . Who cares about your meaning of life!?
Americans:
"This virus was very formidable . "
"Yes, 77 Virus has been dethroned . "
British:
"The hacker ranking hasn't been updated yet?"
"Let's wait a little while longer . "
"Right, they always update the dangerous virus and trojan horses first . Next should be the world's hacker rankings . "
Russians:
"'2' should be listed on there . "
"There's no need for you to say that . I heard that China has another formidable expert . I heard he is a programmer from the Internet Surveillance Bureau . I wonder if he will get ranked . "
Chinese citizens:
"JIN will be taken down . "
"A new generation replacing the old . "
"Hurry up and update!"
"That's right . I'm anticipating the gods of China to be ranked!"
A typical ranking would be updated in one go after any major international internet security issue or hacker invasion in a hacker war . After the updating of the virus rankings, the hacker rankings and other miscellaneous things would be next . However, what made the world surprised was that although the virus ranking had been updated, but the hacker ranking had not been updated after a long time . It was still the old rankings from the previous month .
Many people left their comments below .
"What happened?"
"Where is the staff?"
"Update please, we are all waiting . "
"They must be sleeping . "
"It's already midnight over here . "
"Haha, I just woke up this morning . There's no rush . I can wait . "
Due to the different time zones and different languages, most people communicated in English . There were also many people using Russian, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese . There were people from all over the world watching .
Zhang Ye was also looking at the website .
About half an hour later .
Someone refreshed the page and immediately shouted, "It's been updated!"

Numerous people hurried over to take a look . It wouldn't have mattered much if they just took a look, but many people were left stunned . Some of the rankings had been guessed, but there were some that far exceeded their expectations!
This was a comprehensive list of hacker rankings . Inside, there were internationally dangerous hackers, as well as programmers from security companies and anti-virus companies!
Korean hacker, JIN's ranking had dropped . He had previously been ranked 45th on the world hacker ranking, but now he had been dropped to 59th . Similarly, the Korean 59-V, who had just resigned from a security company, also dropped in ranking . He went from 89th to below 100th . He did not even appear on the first page . Out of all the Koreans, only "Jen" rose in rankings . The reason why he rose was because as a rookie, he did not have any ranking prior to this . Although the Koreans had suffered a miserable defeat, Jen's programming skills were evident . Hence, this new rookie had left his mark on the world stage of hackers . Jen's ranking was 65, just lower than JIN by a few places . There was a feeling of how each new generation excelled compared to the last one .
What was most worthy of concern was placed on China!
The first shock to the world was FAN's ranking!
The performance of FAN, from the Chinese Internet Surveillance Bureau, had indeed given the hackers, who watched the war, a fright . On the internet battleground, this was a person who fought through all odds . She was good at both offensive and defensive measures, lures, data, ports, loopholes . She was a very well-rounded hacker . In the battle, FAN had faced three top Korean hackers, JIN, Jen, and 59-V alone without any pressure, and even managed to send them packing . Eventually they could only use an encirclement strategy and not clash with FAN directly . Besides, FAN had even managed to pursue one of Korea's top hacker, "Ying" . From her technical skill, it could be seen that she was on a completely different level . She was overwhelmingly better than them!
Everyone knew this!
Everyone understood all of this!
However, the ranking of FAN was too f**king high in everyone else’s eyes!
World hacker ranking: FAN — 10th place!
No one knew how a rookie like FAN, a rookie, who had never appeared on the world stage, could enter the top ten!
Was it a mistake?
This ranking must be wrong, right?
YOYOT (USA): "How could this be?"
Fujiwara (Japan): "What's up with this ranking?"
47 (USA): "It can't be a mistake . This is a hacker's heaven . The people making the evaluations are the most professional amongst professionals in the world . Could there be any trick to it?"
Cepera (Russia): "FAN's ranking is so much higher than ours?"
Advertisement
TOM (UK): "It's normal for it to be higher than yours . You are old, and your technological skills have been regressing . However, how can FAN be higher ranking than YOYOT? To enter the top ten?"
On the other side .
JIN said, "This ranking is so unconvincing!"
Jen: "I know FAN is formidable and definitely is more skilled than me, but anyone with eyes wouldn't admit that she can enter the top ten, right? Her true strength can’t even be seen, but whatever that was presented would at best, put her somewhere in the forties . "
Everyone was surprised in different ways!
The officials soon published an explanation . Actually, it was not an explanation . It was like everyone else . They had added a piece of information to FAN's personal profile . Some of the people ranked on the world hacker rankings had more complete information . For example, some orthodox anti-virus programmers . They were all working, or they were employees of government-related internet departments . Their personal information was already known and something simple would be written . Things that intruded on personal privacy, or things the person in question did not wish to reveal would not be revealed on the website . There would only be a known label added . These were "White Hats" . As for other hackers, most of them had incomplete information . Some of them had nearly zero personal information .
FAN's official profile was written in a long paragraph in English:
FAN .
Sex: Unknown .
Age: Unknown .
Nationality: China .
First appearance in the Sino-Korean Hacker War . Works for China's Internet Surveillance Bureau . However, after repeated analysis and experiments of professionals, we have unanimously come to a conclusion that FAN's operating methods, technological skill, and technological trajectory, as well as some relevant evidence that temporarily will not be disclosed, FAN has a 90% chance of being responsible for the paralysis of all the computers in CPAA Internet Security Company last year . That matter has been labeled as 'Supernatural hacking incident'!
That was all the information there was .
When everyone saw this, they were dumbfounded!
JIN gasped: "FAN is the one who invaded the top American security company last year?"
Jen: " . . . "
Hyo: "Holy sh*t! So it's him!"
59-V: "F**k! I was wondering why I succumbed to him! So it was that monster from last year! No wonder his skills are so impressive!"
On the other side .
YOYOT (USA) was enlightened . "No wonder!"
47 (USA) felt a yearning . "Finally found him! That matter caused such a commotion . I was nearly affected by it! So the culprit is here, and even went to work for the Internet Surveillance Bureau?"
Cepera (Russia): "Then there's no surprise regarding this ranking . Let's not even talk about an hour . Even if you give me a year's time, I wouldn't be able to paralyze all the computers that belong to hackers, programmers, and security experts in a top American security company without any detection!"
So for the "Supernatural hacking incident'" back then, many programmers and experts of the world came to a conclusion that not more than ten hackers in this world could do it!
For FAN to be ranked tenth, that was very normal!
The citizens of China went hysterical!
"Wow!"
"Tenth place!"
"Heavens, the Internet Surveillance Bureau has someone that awesome!"
"Last year's incident? What happened last year? To even call it a supernatural incident?"
"I don’t know about it . I just know that it definitely has to be very awesome! What is the concept of being the tenth best hacker in the world? When has a hacker from China ever received such a high ranking!?"
"Hahaha, our country is full of such fierce people!"
"Right, who said China's programming skills are weak? We are staying on the down low!"
After Zhang Ye saw this, he blinked his eyes . Oh no, was Fan Yingyun's identity revealed? People had guessed her identity? However, now that she was working for the Internet Surveillance Bureau, she should be fine, right?
. . . . . .
Internet Surveillance Bureau, First Department .
There were many people working overtime in the office .
Fang Xiaoshui pointed at her computer, stunned . "Sis Fan, you’ve been exposed!"
Meng Yi said with a serious face, "What are we to do now?"
"Things aren't good . Sis Fan, take a look! Stop playing games!" Zhang Er looked at the gaming Fan Yingyun . He was thinking how this was the perfect situation of how he was more worried than the person in question .
But who knew that Fan Yingyun ended saying nonchalantly, "Shut up . It's so trivial, so what if they found out . I've never tried to concealed it anyways!"
When her colleagues heard this, they smiled wryly . They were just reminded that back when Officer Fan was teaching in the People's Public Security University of China, she had used her the computer in her office to intrude into the American security company . She did not even delete any traces or modify any records . She had gone in openly and left openly . When it was time for class, she went to teach . She did not conceal herself at all!
That's right!
She didn't even hide!
She was never afraid of being caught to begin with!
Typical thoughts of Meng Yi and company was to do such stuff sneakily . They had to hide for that was an average person's thought process, but today, they finally realized that an expert amongst experts like Officer Fan had a thought process unlike ordinary people, and with that bad temper of hers, she was not the kind of person who would hide . Looking at her, back then, she couldn't even be bothered to clear the records from her computer . Man, such a arrogant and defiant hacker was really seldom seen . She was a wonder of the hacker world!

A Sith? During The Fall
Darth Zaros was the Empire’s Wrath; the greatest Sith Warrior and a man feared across the galaxy. He was also just my Old Republic game character until I somehow woke up as him. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was sent thousands of years into the future to the eve of the Great Jedi Purge. Alone and surrounded by enemies, can Zaros survive long enough to figure out how he got there? Can he ever find his way back? Follow along as Zaros uses his powers and more importantly, the knowledge of a fan, to navigate his way through a dangerous Universe. I'm working with a mixture of canon and legends stuff. If it hasn't been written over in canon then it will probably be free game. Because I’m reconciling various different sources, power levels won’t be blown out of proportion to the point that force users become the only relevant people in the Galaxy. I added the gore tag just in case. This is Star Wars, so there won’t be any needless blood spatters, but lightsaber duels often end with some body part cut off.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
