After that, the lot of them sat in front of the computer and began to follow the administrator’s instructions to retrieve yesterday’s surveillance footage.
The computer science students had dealt with a vast range of systems, but this was their first time delving into the school’s system, so they were very much looking forward to it!
Their fingers flew across the keys; confident smiles were plastered on their faces.
As time ticked past, Robert wiped his sweat and asked with great difficulty, “Can you do it?”
“Mr. Goldstein, Caspar is our best student this year. If he can’t get it done, then none of us can.”
Upon hearing this, the boy named Caspar curled his thin lips up in a confident smile.
The school system seemed simple on the outside, but it turned out that it was quite difficult to maneuver!
Woodsbury University certainly lived up to its reputation; even their system was hard to crack!
The confident smile on Caspar’s face slowly collapsed.
His eyes darkened as he used the last trick he knew.
Caspar wrote the last line of code, then his finger pressed down hard on a key.
All of a sudden, an alarm sounded on the computer. Caspar had caused the entire server to crash!
The few people present were stunned, and Robert was at a loss once again. What’s happening?
Wiping his sweat, Caspar took a nervous gulp, then reported to the principal, “Mr. Goldstein, I’m sorry. I crashed the university’s server!”
Robert almost fainted when he heard this.
Crashed the university’s server? What does that mean? Is all of the backup surveillance footage irretrievable?
He just wanted to get one video, not lose everything else.
“Quickly, quickly! Get the computer science professor here!” Robert paced around frantically.
The people in the room felt a huge weight lift off their shoulders.
The professor must have a way!
A mere system couldn’t possibly defeat him.
The principal pounded his chest and he was filled with remorse. Why didn’t I call the professor over just now?
A while later, a middle-aged man with glasses knocked on the door; he was Jason Hobbs.
“Come in!”
The man slowly opened the door and walked in.
“Professor Hobbs, you’re finally here!” Overjoyed, Robert pulled the professor to the computer.
After listening to Robert’s explanation, Jason roughly understood what he meant.
He had to recover the university’s system, then retrieve yesterday’s footage.
Although Jason reckoned that restoring Woodsbury University’s system would be a little tough, he nodded and agreed.
After all, he was currently ranked top ten in Sandfort City. If he couldn’t solve it, then no one else could.
Jason promptly sat down in front of the computer.
Janet looked up, waiting to see just how good Woodsbury University’s computer science professor was.
She took lazy steps forward and came to stand behind him, then watched on seriously.
Pushing his glasses up, Robert looked helplessly at Janet.
The system had crashed. Why was Janet acting like nothing had happened?
Had she forgotten that the video they were looking for was related to her?
Jason turned on the computer and connected to Woodsbury University’s server.
At this moment, the server’s alarm was still ringing non-stop.
Jason tapped quickly on the keyboard.
Seeing this, Caspar got excited. “There’s hope; there’s hope!”
Everyone knew that Jason’s computer skills were ranked high in Sandfort City.
He remained patient and his hands continued to move across the keyboard.
Although he anticipated that recovering Woodsbury University’s system wouldn’t be easy, he didn’t expect it to be such a difficult feat.
