Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Outside the teaching building, dozens of students were still launching repeated attacks. Five of them had formed a team, preparing to seize the hidden information within the school first. They planned to then find the teacher and claim the corresponding reward, which they would then split equally.

With proper teamwork, the difficulty can indeed be greatly reduced. Even if the rewards for scoring are less, it's still worthwhile.

Using the flashbang tactics they had secretly learned, the group, under the cover of cover, advanced, sequentially depleting their own data strength. When all four of them had reached their critical point, they finally managed to get one of them to the gate.

I finally managed to sneak inside. Even if I can't complete the level, I can still use this opportunity to explore the interior structure.

The interior of the teaching building was even more cramped. Although the soldiers who stormed in killed the patrolling soldiers, they also triggered the alarm. A large number of soldiers, alerted by the alarm, chased after him. Under this pursuit, he had no good options and could only flee in panic. But the space inside the building was limited; once his location was locked, he faced a situation of being blocked in front and pursued from behind. After several fierce firefights inside the teaching building, the person who had been transmitted back via data appeared at the camp. He hadn't lasted three minutes inside the teaching building before being annihilated and sent out.

"That's enough for today, everyone. Time is running out. Continuing to renew the server subscription is too expensive. We haven't fully investigated the situation inside the campus yet. Under these circumstances, obtaining the data in one go is simply impossible."

"Why don't we come back tomorrow? Following our previous plan, we can explore in different directions and figure out the layout of the building first. That will make the rest of the operation much easier."

His words were echoed by everyone.

"Forget it, it's probably impossible to get a result today."

"Indeed, we need at least another six months of study before we can reach the level required to break through this defensive position."

"Even if we try again and again here today, it will probably be a waste of time. Before, when our whole class went together, we still couldn't break through the defense. We definitely need skills and methods."

"That's right. Even a high school sophomore might not be able to handle this level of data protection. You guys have done a really good job."

Suddenly, many students began to curry favor with Cui Pengqi and the other students who had achieved the best results. These were the students who had made the most in-depth breakthroughs. These students were also among the top students in the class.

Just as everyone was preparing to disperse and disconnect from the virtual world, the teaching building behind them suddenly shook violently, followed by intense gunfire. Then, a blinding flash illuminated an entire floor of windows, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass. Intense gunfire echoed throughout the entire building.

Someone leaped directly out of the window. Flames roared from the thrusters on their backs, and wings unfurled. Clutching a box, they glided swiftly through the sky.

The fierce data attacks hit him, triggering his passive defense, but still left his equipment battered and bruised.

Smoke billowing in mid-air, it spun and plummeted, crashing outside the defensive perimeter to the astonished eyes of the onlookers, miraculously escaping the range of fire.

And inside that box was data. Data protected by layers of guards throughout this building.

"Are you kidding me? How could he succeed on the first day? And he doesn't even have any teammates."

"Didn't this guy just disconnect? Could it be that he didn't just log off because he ran out of internet fees, but instead took advantage of the chaos he created to hide in the teaching building?"

"Could there be a shortcut to this test? Damn it, why wasn't I the one who discovered it first?"

Immediately, many classmates cast envious and jealous glances. They naturally wanted to snatch the data. But at this point, it was pointless. Mo Chengzi's process of retrieving the data had already been recorded in the system. Unless they had the ability to hack into the school's network and modify the data, the first person to obtain it was already determined. No amount of fighting over it would make a difference.

To the point that breaching the school's network security to modify data would be far beyond their capabilities. Even a random teaching system on the school's servers has such high security; one can only imagine how formidable the security of the school's main system must be. They couldn't even find the entry point into the school's firewall.

The network defenses within the virtual machine before them were at least comprehensible to them, and they could discern the clues. Seeing the defenses told them how to attack.

They couldn't even see the school's defenses. Even though they were immersed in the virtual world, they didn't know the address of the network their school was using. They could only use the network interfaces that the campus allowed to open.

In fact, within this visual interface, their school is also a massive mechanical fortress, far more fortified than this temporary outpost. They simply can't see it because the fortress representing the school possesses a kind of invisible double-sided effect, concealing itself so that even those who don't know its location wouldn't know where to attack.

Mo Chengzi quickly replaced his equipment with a backup of the intact gear before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

For him, stealing data was theoretically possible. Others couldn't see the fortress surrounding the school, but he could. Norrell had already cracked the network address of their high school, essentially seeing through the invisible barrier. Therefore, from his perspective, he could directly attack the school's surveillance system over the area, interfering with it and thus stealing the data. Taking away his number one position was theoretically possible, and even when he was weakened, doing so would have been much easier.

Fortunately, his classmates were clearly not on the same level as him, and no one thought that he could directly attack the school's system.

After obtaining the data, he directly submitted it to the school system to redeem the rewards. Rewards for hacking-related courses are relatively easy to obtain. The rewards, once redeemed, are deposited into their campus accounts, corresponding to server usage time and computing power limits. In addition, they can use the campus AI to design their own programs and customize functions.

This is also one of the features he values ​​most. Campus AI is true commercial-grade artificial intelligence. Using campus AI is, in a sense, equivalent to using the API of a major company.

They are mostly version 10.0 AIs, which are much more advanced than Norexit. However, they are not open source, so even if you can borrow them, you cannot copy the model's code through normal means.

However, Mo Chengzi had already figured out how to solve this problem: the AI ​​model used by the campus agent. Compared to the commercial versions released by large companies, its integration level is relatively lower. After all, it was developed to cultivate students' hacking skills, requiring a higher level of expertise from the user, resulting in lower integration and more functional interfaces.

Mo Chengzi remembered that when he was in the Shanhe Republic, he had also downloaded pirated AI models from others. Although the Shanhe Republic had a relatively strong awareness of copyright, some privately released artificial intelligence models were still maliciously priced. If the price was too unreasonable, there would be malicious retaliation and theft of model files.

Although the technology used at that time was later patched and became unusable, it was quite popular back then. He got his hands on it as soon as it was developed and downloaded a bunch of his favorite closed-source AI models from the internet.

The underlying principle isn't difficult to understand. AI models are theoretically capable of reading their own code, but user agreements typically prohibit direct output of AI source code commands.

The relevant technical approach involves using another form of artificial intelligence. This involves designing a logic to extract source code, then asking frequently asked questions, using a borderline approach to obtain and reverse-engineer the model file itself.

This kind of task requires a large number of question-and-answer sessions, involving a staggering amount of text, which is beyond the capacity of human resources. Therefore, the task should be delegated to capable artificial intelligence, thus using computing power to offset the computational burden and automatically complete the download of unfamiliar AI models.

The related technical approach is actually somewhat similar to the breakthrough of human large language models in the early 21st century, except that this way of describing language is made more systematic and then handed over to another artificial intelligence model to complete.

Mo Chengzi had Norege connect to the school's data, access the server's computing functions, and use her own abilities to gain reward privileges. She then began the illegal copying operation.

"Damn it! Master dumped such a huge workload on me. I'm going to be exhausted." Norrell accessed the campus network's AI at a rate of tens of thousands of times per second, attempting to download data. Such high-frequency access would likely take several hours to complete the download of a rough model.

Mo Chengzi did not intend to use a pirated large model of version 10.0 or higher as his own private artificial intelligence for local deployment.

He simply couldn't deploy an AI of this scale locally. He was living a life of luxury, living in a closed furniture store, eating free samples, and using money he found. Apart from the basic equipment to maintain his life, he had no additional computing facilities, not even a personal computer. Relying solely on the computing power of his built-in computing modules, he could barely even deploy Noreiki locally, let alone models above version 10.0. Deploying them on him would be impossible.

If someone really wants to use it, even after cracking the pirated model, it can only be deployed in the cloud, by renting a private cloud server and deploying it on the server. However, this might trigger cloud detection by major companies and trigger data breach warnings. If caught using a pirated model, he might have to pay compensation until he goes bankrupt.

So he copied this data mainly to use as upgrade data for Norrell. Consuming a complete model of version 10.0 or higher would be enough to evolve Norrell to version 8.1, a level comparable to many lightweight models of version 10.0 AI.

Many large models release their own quantized versions to run on servers with limited computing power, which reduces performance to the level of the earlier versions.

Version 8.1 of Norrell is just right for him right now; he doesn't need to rent expensive servers to keep her running. Her abilities are also sufficient for her to evolve quickly and handle most problems she encounters in daily life.

"With this guy, I no longer need to manually sign in every day for my cheat system. I just need to give all the sign-in and lottery activities to Norrell and let her use the script I wrote to operate them."

Mo Chengzi felt that he had finally seen a glimmer of hope to escape the bottom of society. Without having to worry about the daily expenses of life, he finally took this opportunity to acquire a skill that would allow him to make a living in society.

If he were willing to sell Norexia now, directly selling the copyright, even an older version like the 8.x, many small companies would be willing to accept it. He could get at least several hundred thousand dollars in one go, enough not only to pay off the loan but also to have some left over.

However, this also means that the technology will be leaked, and the relevant technological routes will be quickly blocked. It will then be very difficult for him to find opportunities to make money through this route in the future.

From a long-term perspective, the potential long-term losses from selling the AI ​​now far outweigh the gains. Therefore, even with low usage returns and exorbitant long-term maintenance costs, he still chose to maintain a private AI assistant—an extremely luxurious luxury among students.

Fortunately, since they've reached a point where it can be commercialized, Norege's abilities are already at a level where she can make money. This means that by participating in certain AI tasks on the internet, the rewards she receives would be enough to offset the cost of renting servers, and she could even make a small profit.

Just as he was considering sending his AI out to work and earn money, a new branch suddenly split off from his overpowered divine body system. This branch created an overpowered AI divine body, which then attached itself to Norrell. It instantly provided him with hundreds of websites—websites recruiting AI services. Personal AI assistants could be sent to these sites to work in their spare time, providing an opportunity for many middle-class individuals who were neither rich nor poor to earn extra income.
