I am weak and friendly

Chapter 222 New Open Source Project, OIFU (3K)

Once Tang Yiping starts writing code, he becomes completely immersed in it, stripping away everything from the outside world.

Tang Yiping is a case in point now.

He was typing away on the keyboard, unaware that several people were quietly standing behind him.

Stoka whimpered a few times, looked at Tang Yiping, then at the three of them, and simply lay down beside him.

At this moment, Tang Yiping had basically completed all the code.

This is a very small tool with a very simple function. Most of the initial code has already been completed, and now it's just a matter of refining and encapsulating it.

Thanks to the previous Diting project, Tang Yiping was introduced to Flutter. Although he was not capable of making Diting a product-level application and packaging it into an app, he could still manage to write an open-source project with only one page, where aesthetics didn't matter.

For him, the biggest challenge was... getting rid of the "stacked bug" in his code.

Because the code enhanced by the [Stacking Worm] is the most unique style of [0xT1P], its recognizability is extremely high.

There is only one person in the world whose code cannot be changed by even a single word.

If Tang Yiping doesn't drive away all the [Stacked Insects], his identity will be exposed.

They'll definitely be exposed.

This forced him to do something he had never done before.

Eliminate all bugs in your program.

But this is too difficult!

Tang Yiping was so distressed he wanted to cry.

He wrote and wrote and wrote, and then he discovered a bug. Then he saw the [Stacking Bugs] rushing in excitedly with their luggage, eager to claim it first.

One bug even housed three [Stacking Insects].

then……

Tang Yiping worked hard for a while and fixed the original bug.

The original [Diechong] left its homeland cursing and swearing, or died on the spot in protest.

As a result, the original bug was fixed, but the fix created even more bugs.

What should I do?
Faced with even more excited [Stacking Insects], Tang Yiping had no choice but to harden his heart and continue making changes.

At first, the number of bugs kept increasing as they were fixed, but gradually, the number of bugs decreased until the last one, "Stack Bug," crashed into Tang Yiping's code, cursing and swearing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tang Yiping muttered, feeling like a complete butcher. "Daddy loves you all, sweeties! But not this time, not this time..."

Behind him, three men looked at each other.

They had no idea what Tang Yiping was doing or why he had suddenly started writing code, but seeing how serious he was, they didn't dare to disturb him.

And now, they don't know why Tang Yiping suddenly started muttering, why Daddy loves you?
I don't understand, it's hard to jump, I can't comprehend it.

But after fixing the last bug, Tang Yiping took a serious look at his work.

then……

Tang Yiping felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

This was the first time he had independently completed a fully packaged app!

When FOEW was first completed, it was only a semi-finished product. Later, it was simply modularized and encapsulated, and all other functions were handed over to other open-source developers.

The same applies when FORK and FOCU were open source.

FOCU eventually became [Di Ting], but that wasn't Tang Yiping's doing; it was entirely Gouzi's doing.

But this program is not.

This program was entirely written by him, encapsulated by him, modified by him, and he didn't even use his own unique language.

This is an extremely normal and ordinary program, written by an ordinary programmer, a complete program that can run on any mainstream mobile phone.

"Ah, I'm so awesome!" Tang Yiping clenched his fist!
Later, when Li Tieqiang heard Tang Yiping say this, he immediately felt a deep respect for the procedure.

What? Even Tang Yiping says he's awesome?
That program must be earth-shattering and awe-inspiring!
Li Tieqiang subconsciously looked out the window.

The emergence of such a program would be a thunderbolt from the blue, a bolt from the blue.

There was nothing there.

There wasn't even a cloud in the sky.

Li Tieqiang felt that God was being a bit unreasonable.

Since learning that Tang Yiping was the big shot [0xT1P], to be honest, Li Tieqiang was... unable to look Tang Yiping in the eye.

Previously, Tang Yiping was just an ordinary teenager, at most the "innate criminal investigation physique" that Zhao Xinyi mentioned.

Later, after learning more about Tang Yiping, I realized that this young man was extraordinary.

Later, when it was discovered that Tang Yiping was actually fighting against people from another world all by himself, I felt even more awe.

Later on, it wasn't just ordinary respect; people even welcomed Gao Ming to regard Tang Yiping as the "founder of the Dragon Group" or something similar.

He himself regarded Tang Yiping as the leader of the Dragon Group.

but……

He still couldn't imagine it.

Tang Yiping is probably one of the best programmers in the world.

It doesn't look like it at all!

How is this possible!
Hearing Tang Yiping speak, everyone knew he had finished writing. Gao Ming asked him, "You're done writing? What are you writing?"

Tang Yiping turned around when he heard the sound and saw three people, which didn't surprise him.

He explained, “Oh, it’s a program that lets you get expired food for free from those interconnected vending machines downstairs.”

"Huh?" Gao Ming was stunned. That's it?
"Is it the one you used downstairs today?" Shen Hong asked. He had watched the surveillance footage and knew that Tang Yiping could operate the vending machine with his mobile phone. "Yes, I plan to open-source it," Tang Yiping said.

"Why?" Shen Hong was a little confused. "Isn't the focus right now on finding the missing Wei Song, and... cracking the secrets of Touchpoint Interconnect?"

While talking to Tang Yiping, Shen Hong suddenly found that many memories began to surface.

The first time, Gao Ming placed the report on his desk, which surprised him, and he made a phone call.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time...

It was like a long-forgotten memory suddenly resurfacing, stirring up countless ripples, causing Shen Hong's brain to buzz like a struck bell.

Then, the information received along the way, but forgotten, echoes, amplifies, and reverberates in the brain.

Negative entropy, surveillance, another world, Dragon Group, Tang Tongxue...

Strange... I actually remembered it.

Your guess was right!
What's wrong with this boy?

Why would a teenager like this choose to write a program at this time?
What does this have to do with forgetting or going missing?
“Forced citation,” Tang Yiping said.

"what?"

“I think the reason why Touchpoint Connect has been forgotten is because it has become a dangling object, and everything related to it will be forcibly cleared from memory,” Tang Yiping said.

Li Tieqiang, Gao Ming, and Shen Hong: "???"

No, can you speak like a human being?

However, they could understand it with difficulty.

"Therefore, all clues related to them will gradually disappear, including memories, records, and even... Wei Song's surveillance footage from before."

"Have the surveillance videos disappeared too?" Tang Yiping exclaimed in shock.

"The surveillance footage only shows you, and the water bottle you gave him is in mid-air. To be honest, it's very strange," Shen Hong explained.

But... anything related to this boy seems... will never disappear, and people related to this boy will never be forgotten?

Why is that?
“This kind of disappearance has its limits. Information records will be erased, but physical objects will not be erased. However, they will be ignored by most people, or… they will be isolated in other ways,” Tang Yiping said. “If I’m not mistaken, Touchpoint Interconnect’s office is on the 41st floor right below us. Wei Song should be there too, but that space is now isolated from the world. It’s a ‘suspended object’ that is not referenced.”

“I’m trying to get more people to ‘cite’ it and bring it back.”

"Is this... how the world's best programmer solves problems?" Shen Hong exclaimed in amazement.

He recalled that after learning of Tang's existence, he did investigate Tang Yiping's background.

Although I forgot the information after reading it, I did conduct an investigation.

Unlike someone else... who seems to still not realize Tang's true identity.

Tsk, even if I've had my memories wiped too many times and died or gone insane, I can't give up my position to him.

So tender!
Still have to practice!
Shen Hong glanced at Gao Ming, who was listening with a bewildered expression, and shook his head slightly.

"I don't know if it will work, but I'm going to give it a try." Tang Yiping didn't dare to mention the world's strongest programmer, so he could only change the subject. "If it doesn't work, we'll have to think of other ways."

Holy crap, what have I done to deserve being considered the world's number one programmer?
think too much!

He had an urge to tell these guys to get away and stop looking at his release program.

So embarrassing.

A young man who had just written an extremely mediocre program now felt utterly hopeless.

"Could you guys please stop looking?" Tang Yiping said to the three people who were full of curiosity. "I'm getting embarrassed if you keep staring at me like that."

He turned around so that his back was to the wall, opened his browser, logged into his alternate account on a certain hub platform, and began preparing to upload his open-source project.

When he looked up, the three people were still staring intently at him.

The expressions are different.

Ugh, it's so annoying. It always feels like I'm being watched while I'm taking an exam.

and……

"My first question... what should I call this open-source project?"

Tang Yiping was stumped.

This software has only one simple function: to check inventory and display the food and drinks that are listed before payment. The software itself was written by Tang Yiping for himself.

To be honest, unless these vending machines are sold, their value is just that the food has already expired.

Who in this world would eat expired food, except for him, who's been contaminated by scavenging and doesn't care about food safety at all?

He was actually quite anxious, wondering if his project would be effective once it was released.

He was prepared to use his main account to contribute some code to his alternate account if all else failed.

【0xT1P】This is my first time contributing code to another open-source project. It's kind of a gimmick, I guess. Maybe it will attract attention?
But... will that really work? Will it create a close connection? Will it allow for "forced referencing" and "opening up space"?

In that instant, Tang Yiping suddenly recalled the image of that night when he and Stoka were walking home together, of the figure desperately reaching into the vending machine but unable to get instant noodles out.

I wonder how he is doing now. I haven't seen him for the past few days. Is he able to eat every day?
If you see this project, please download it.

For you, and for us.

I'll help you open the vending machine, and please help me... open that enclosed space too.

After this idea popped into his head, Tang Yiping suddenly knew what to call this program.

He reached out and typed four letters on the keyboard.

OIFU.

Open It For Us, Open It For U.
