The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: 184 Very regretful, very devastated [2nd update]

After he entered, the door closed again.

But less than three minutes had passed before the door opened once more.

The male student’s face was pale as he came out, drenched in sweat as if he had just experienced something utterly terrifying.

This was beyond He Xun’s expectations.

Although it was difficult to get into Norton University, it shouldn’t have been enough to scare someone like this after just one interview.

He Xun frowned but did not scold him; instead, he turned to the two students from the International Class, “It’s your turn now.”

They nodded and queued up to enter in turn.

Their time inside was longer, but when they emerged, they seemed none too pleased either.

“Teacher He, I’m sorry,” one of the students said with shame, “I think I’ve failed. The school tested me on Latin, but I haven’t learned it.”

All three students were in this state, which sent He Xun’s heart sinking to the bottom.

His task was to successfully send two students into Norton University, and into an A-level faculty at that.

But now, he had none.

This meant his assessment was impossible to pass.

The sunlight was fervent, but He Xun’s heart grew colder and colder.

He suddenly regretted it deeply.

He was so confident in passing the assessment because, before he knew that Wen Tinglan was Ying Zijin’s brother, he believed Wen Tinglan was certain to get into Norton University.

After the interview qualifications were distributed, he specifically followed Verdant to test Wen Tinglan and the others’ IQ.

The two students from the International Class were average, but Wen Tinglan’s IQ was as high as 228!

While it wasn’t the highest ever recorded in history, it was still a terrifying figure.

If it weren’t for the public Q&A incident, He Xun would have certainly not withdrawn Wen Tinglan’s interview qualification.

He had always been the pride among his peers and simply couldn’t tolerate the humiliation Ying Zijin brought upon him, so he took back the interview qualification.

Although the interview results wouldn’t come out for a few days, He Xun knew it was completely hopeless.

His expression ugly, he pursed his lips tightly and shook his head, “It’s alright, let’s wait for the results.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world.

In a room.

A young man sat in front of a computer, with a screen background of pitch black covered in strings of numbers and characters, forming many codes.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, so quickly that it was impossible to see which keys he pressed.

The strings of numbers, characters, and symbols on the screen kept changing constantly, dazzling the eyes.

“How’s it going?” The middle-aged man beside him couldn’t wait to ask, “Did you find anything?”

The young hacker shook his head, just as surprised, “No, I can’t penetrate their firewall.”

The middle-aged man was shocked, “Not even you can do it?”

They knew Norton University’s technology was far ahead of the outside world, which is why he had sought out a hacker from that area.

The young hacker’s skills were definitely not inferior to the boss of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance, yet he couldn’t even breach the firewall of Norton University?

The previous day’s attempt to infiltrate the vice-chancellor’s mobile phone had failed, leaving them still in the dark about whether the Diviner had gone to Norton University.

If they couldn’t break through Norton University’s firewall, it meant they had no way of discovering the Diviner’s identity!

The middle-aged man slammed his fist onto the table, cursing, “Damn it.”

Things weren’t the same as before.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, without the Internet or high technology, finding a person was extremely difficult.

That’s why the Diviner had left no information or traces behind all this time.

They even speculated that the Diviner’s disappearance for two hundred years was probably because he foresaw the advancement of future technology and feared revealing his identity.

This time, the Diviner had finally shown himself voluntarily, an opportunity too rare to come by.

But now the opportunity was right before them, and all they could do was watch helplessly as it slipped away.

“Something’s not right,” the young hacker shook his head, “No matter how advanced Norton University’s computer technology is, it shouldn’t be able to stop me. Someone must have helped them fortify their firewall.”

“Who?” startled, the middle-aged man asked, “Someone from your side?”

“Possibly.” The young hacker stood, apologetically saying, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t complete the task. I will return the reward to your family later.”

The interview results came out faster than He Xun had expected.

On the third day, they were already posted on the campus internal network.

The three students he had brought not only had failed, but also ranked very low.
