The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Nathalie: Actually, It’s Very Simple_1

”I’m quite sure that before I handed the USB flash drive to Mr. Radcliff, it didn’t contain any of these things. Someone from The Ninth Institute intentionally planted the Trojan. It wasn’t me hiding anything,” Nathalie said openly as she tossed the removed USB flash drive to Wallace Radcliff in front of everyone.

Wallace Radcliff almost didn’t catch it, but luckily his quick reflexes allowed him to grasp it at the last second. He clenched the USB in the palm of his hand, with a stern look on his face, and hesitantly said, ”Ms. Quinlan, is the Trojan virus on the USB really the ’Lizard’s Tail’?”

”Mm-hmm.” The girl lifted her eyes slightly, showing a carefree demeanor. She leaned casually against the podium with one hand and rested her long leg on its edge, her delicate facial features wearing an indifferent expression.

”...” Wallace Radcliff fell silent for a moment.

People from The Ninth Institute and a virus from Red Alliance, the only person he could think of was Phoebe Hoffman!

He didn’t understand why she would do this after having put so much effort into autonomous driving technology!

How could this possibly benefit her?

Wasn’t she afraid of embarrassing the whole Ninth Institute along with herself?

Xavier Rabenstein wasn’t thinking that far. His mind was fixated on one thing as he eagerly stared at the girl on the podium, his voice trembling with excitement, ”Ms. Quinlan, how did you solve the ’Lizard’s Tail’ virus? Isn’t this Trojan a top-level Trojan program developed by Red Alliance that no one has managed to crack to date? I don’t have a clue, and I really want to know how you cracked this Trojan program... Ms. Quinlan, would you be willing to tell me how?”

A piercing gaze fell upon her.

Nathalie knew who it was without even looking.

Before she stood in for Radcliff, she hadn’t considered this problem, thinking only of lending a hand. Now she realized she might have slipped up.

She couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. She furrowed her brows, trying to ignore the almost mocking gaze, and slowly responded, ”Actually, it’s quite simple.”

Xavier Rabenstein: ”???”

The ’Lizard’s Tail’ virus had been around for about five years, and no one had cracked it during that time. How could it be simple?

”The Trojan program itself harbors a bug. Once you find the bug, it becomes quite easy to crack. It just takes some time to repair the document...” Nathalie said casually.

Xavier Rabenstein and the rest of The Ninth Institute’s technical staff were as if they were listening to something unfathomable.

A bug in the ’Lizard’s Tail’?

What the hell?

Is this the legendary super Trojan virus from Red Alliance they had heard about?

He felt that in Ms. Quinlan’s description, this super Trojan virus sounded like a failed project made by a child playing house.

”I don’t quite understand,” Xavier Rabenstein said, gazing at her urgently, as if he desperately wanted to pull Nathalie aside immediately and have her explain in detail, ”I’ve attempted to crack it several times myself and never found the supposed bug. Where exactly is this bug you’re talking about, and why can’t I find it?”

He couldn’t find it, but Ms. Quinlan spoke of it as if it were a trivial matter. That was just too unscientific!

Nathalie didn’t waste words and got to the point, ”After the conference, I’ll give you a demonstration and you’ll understand. The ’Lizard’s Tail’ isn’t as complicated as you think; it’s just a Trojan with flaws.”

As she spoke, her eyebrows didn’t even twitch, clearly not taking the ’Lizard’s Tail’ virus, which Xavier Rabenstein and the others considered a big deal, seriously at all.

In fact, it was quite normal for Nathalie not to take the rigid ”super Trojan virus” that was touted by the outside world seriously. A few years ago, when she was bored and not just playing games, she took an interest in programming in the C language. During this time, she created a lot of things. The verification system mentioned by Radcliff before and the ’Lizard’s Tail’ that Xavier Rabenstein and the others were discussing were all prototype creations she made back then.
