Chapter 183 - 183 The Semifinals
183 The Semifinals
After the preliminaries were out, Yu Han’s results, which were ranked second, exempted her from the second round of the additional competition and she entered the semi-finals directly. The competition happened in these two days.
In the semi-finals, she took a look at the competition schedule. It was far from as simple as the pre-selection and preliminary rounds. She had to have enough time. However, the competition was held according to overseas time. Ordinary hackers would not be so particular, but Yu Han had a proper job now, so time became a problem. In addition, she had to find an excuse to fool her team.
Now, with the excuse of practicing games, she had more reasons to touch the computer without arousing suspicion. Yu Han was very satisfied.
That day, when she logged into the computer, she realized that her emails had been stuffed with all kinds of emails. Most of them were to provoke her and ask her if she hid because she was afraid of being surrounded.
!!
Yu Han laughed it off. She cleared all the emails and logged into the competition’s official website.
There were many people who had been watching her and waiting for her to come online because of the generous bonus and the strength Yu Han had displayed during the pre-selection and preliminary. Especially when they knew that she was going to participate in the competition and that she would definitely appear near the semi-finals, they were all waiting there.
Hence, as soon as Yu Han logged onto the official website, many people received the news and rushed over like a swarm of bees. Her firewall immediately issued an emergency warning.
Yu Han opened it and took a look. In less than a minute, she had been attacked thousands of times. Fortunately, she had expected this situation before she logged in, so she specially upgraded the system. Otherwise, her computer would probably shut down before her firewall was broken.
However, Yu Han’s mind was focused on the semi-finals, so she did not have time to pay attention to these people.
The semi-finals were an attack and defense battle. The contestants who entered the semi-finals were paired up in pairs. In a limited period of time, one side would defend and the other would attack. There were a total of 32 contestants who passed the preliminaries. They would undergo two rounds of attack and defense battles respectively. In the end, eight contestants would enter the finals and compete for the top three.
Yu Han was on the attacking side in the first round. Her opponent was also an individual hacker. He was ranked 21st in the preliminary round, and the difference in strength between him and Yu Han was quite obvious. Hence, Yu Han did not take long to break the defense mechanism that the other party had carefully built.
Half an hour later, the second round of the competition began. This time, Yu Han defended. The contestants who entered the second round were much stronger than those in the first round, but Yu Han still held on until the end.
At this point, the list of the eight participants was released. As it was an attack and defense battle, there was no judgment of the results this round.
After Yu Han received the notice about the finals from the official website, she directly logged out of the Internet. As for those people who were anxious to attack, she let them be happy for the time being. She would harvest another wave when she was free.
On the other side, the boss of “Beast”, the stupid rich second-generation heir, also received the news that Yu Han was online. He immediately came to watch Yu Han being attacked.
However, he widened his eyes and waited. No one could break through her defense net when Yu Han won the first round of attack and defense, the second round of attack and defense, and went offline. The rich second-generation heir was so angry that he smashed something again. “Trash! All of you are trash! Is there no one who can punish this bastard?”
His subordinates could only comfort him. “Those who were in a hurry to attack and provoke in the early stages are all small fries. The really powerful people are still watching and haven’t attacked yet, so we don’t have to be anxious.”
When the rich second-generation heir heard this, he barely restrained his anger. “Since these people aren’t tempted, it means that my money isn’t tempting enough. Increase the reward!”
Fortunately, Yu Han had already left the Internet at this moment, so she did not know that this rich second-generation heir had become even more generous, causing even more people to go crazy. However, even if Yu Han knew, she would only be even happier. After all, she had long treated this bounty as her property, so it was naturally better to have more money.
The grand finals would be held a week later. Other than filming, Yu Han spent most of her remaining time on gaming practice. Hence, when Ji Jun knocked on their courtyard door with a watermelon again, Yu Han was still lying on the sofa facing the computer. She had just finished a ranking competition.
