My Hi-tech Library - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Huge Income

Through the contact information provided by the platform, Zhao Xiaohui added the QQ of the loophole finder. His nickname was Muzi.

The friend request was quickly accepted.

“Hello, I’m Little Zhao from Wind Valley Technology. Thank you very much for the loopholes you submitted. Your technical ability is very powerful.” Zhao Xiaohui organized his words and sent a message.

In Zhao Xiaohui’s understanding, submitting 227 loopholes at once was definitely not something a single person could do. Instead, it was a powerful technical team.

At the moment, there was no automatic loophole digging solution for the system. There was also no automatic loophole digging procedure. There were only some ideas, methods, and auxiliary tools for exploiting loopholes. They still had to rely on manual analysis.

The ideas and methods of digging out loopholes vary from person to person. However, the methods of digging out loopholes are generally traceable. There are mainly patches to compare.

Moreover, the two methods of testing techniques are both extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, only a powerful technical team could find more than 200 loopholes in such a short period of time.

Dorm 407.

Li Yi sat at the computer table. The LCD screen was filled with dense code that was running automatically, digging for loopholes in another project.

After receiving this message, Li Yi perked up and hurriedly pressed the pause button.

“Thank you. Are those loopholes alright? How much is the reward? When can it be distributed?” Li Yi could not wait to reply and went straight to the point.

After receiving such a direct message, Zhao Xiaohui could not help but roll his eyes.

“Expert, the number of loopholes you provided is a little too much. I can’t pay you the usual price. Ordinary loopholes cost 3,000 yuan each. Serious loopholes cost 8,000 yuan each. Can you accept this?” In order to not get too much of the project bonus deducted, Zhao Xiaohui gritted his teeth and made up his mind before typing out the message.

After sending the message, he did not receive a reply for a long time.

Zhao Xiaohui’s heart immediately rose, and he was nervous.

Was the other party dissatisfied with the price?

“Expert, if you’re not satisfied, we can discuss the price again!” Zhao Xiaohui hurriedly sent another message to comfort him.

If he had angered the technical team that could dig out so many loopholes, the consequences would be very serious if the other party decided to secretly teach them a lesson.

“Sorry, I was busy just now. This price will do! No problem.”

Just as Zhao Xiaohui was hesitating about bidding again, he suddenly received a reply.

The other party had accepted it?

This was great!

Looking at the contents of the chat box, Zhao Xiaohui was overjoyed.

“Alright, alright. Thank you, Expert. We’ll confirm the loophole again. If there’s no problem, we’ll be able to give you the bonus next week. Please provide your bank account number,” Zhao Xiaohui said excitedly.

“Yes! After receiving the money, I’ll send you the next batch of loopholes at this price.”

In the next second, when he saw the other party’s reply, the smile on Zhao Xiaohui’s face froze.

What!

There was another batch of loopholes? How was that possible?!

Zhao Xiaohui patted his frozen face gently with both hands and forced himself to calm down.

“Expert, are you joking?! There’s another batch of holes? How many are there?!” Zhao Xiaofeng forced a smile that was uglier than crying and asked with concern.

“More than 300! I’ve found more than 600 in total. There are a lot of loopholes in your project!”

Seeing this heartbreaking reply, Zhao Xiaohui’s vision darkened, and his heart ached faintly.

There were actually so many loopholes.

Their entire technical team of more than forty people had spent a year and a half working day and night to develop this project. However, there were actually so many loopholes.

Their project rewards were all going to be claimed by this guy!

Zhao Xiaohui wanted to cry.

“What terrifying news. I have to ask the leader for instructions. I’ll reply to you later.” Zhao Haitao could not take it anymore. He sent a message and hurriedly left his desk to find the leader.

“Alright!” Li Yi smiled and replied with a word in the chat.

Then, Li Yi continued to activate the loophole scanning tool and let it detect the loopholes of another project on its own.

He was about to be rich!

Li Yi looked at the LCD screen and could not hide his smile.

On the LCD screen, green code flowed like a waterfall. From time to time, a red code would appear. The red code groups were potential loopholes that had been sifted out by the loophole scanning tool.

Five thousand yuan per loophole… Even robbing a bank and digging a gold mine would not be better than this. Moreover, this was completely legal.

More than two hours passed.

Li Yi received another message from Wind Valley Technology.

Zhang Peiyong personally communicated with Li Yi.

After a round of discussion, they finally decided to buy all the data from Li Yi at the price of 2 million yuan (after taxes).

“Thank you, Expert Muzi. I look forward to our next collaboration.” Zhang Peiyong thanked him gratefully.

To be able to obtain 638 loopholes at such a low price had completely exceeded Zhang Peiyong’s expectations. He was sincerely grateful to Muzi.

“You’re too polite! Remember to inform me when you release the new project!” Li Yi smiled and replied.

He had earned two million yuan at once. It was as if he had picked it up for free. Li Yi was somewhat embarrassed that the other party was still so grateful to him.

“No problem. The next project originally had an internal test planned. At that time, I’ll send you an invitation.” Zhang Peiyong was overjoyed and decisively arranged.

Expert Muzi seemed to be young and was quite easy to talk to. His attitude was so good that it made Zhang Peiyong somewhat flattered.

The two sides ended the exchange very happily. Then, they signed an electronic contract on an online third-party platform. Li Yi submitted all the loopholes there, and Zhang Peiyong urged the finance department to transfer the money.

The next day, after school in the afternoon, on the way to the canteen, Li Yi’s phone suddenly rang. He had received a message.

Ding… transaction reminder: your account: *5431, 2,000,000 yuan has been transferred. Sender: Wind Valley Technology Information Co., Ltd., balance:…

Li Yi picked up his phone and looked at it. A series of zeros entered his sight. It was a message from the bank.

Li Yi was overjoyed.

He had received 2 million! He was rich!

He had never seen so much money in his life. Li Yi was so excited that he was at a loss.

As he walked on the road, Li Yi was suddenly in high spirits. He danced with joy and jumped up and down. Zhang Haitao, Lin Hang, and Liu Wenfeng looked at each other in confusion.

“Old Li, what’s wrong? Is your foot cramping?” Zhang Haitao asked with a teasing smile.

Li Yi was amused and asked happily, “Hahaha, is this how your leg cramps work?”

“Damn! What made you so happy? Share it with us!” Zhang Haitao scolded jokingly.

Li Yi smiled and stopped smiling. “I earned some money and just received it. It’s my treat tonight!”

Hearing this, Zhang Haitao, Lin Hang, and Liu Wenfeng were all happy.

“Old Li, did you earn it on the Hackerone platform? How much did you earn?! Is it more than ten thousand?!” Lin Hang looked at Li Yi and asked with concern.

“That’s right! It’s all thanks to your introduction.” Li Yi smiled and nodded as he said gratefully.

Two million was a huge sum of money. Li Yi still understood the principle of not revealing his wealth. He did not dare to tell his roommates.

Seeing that Li Yi was unwilling to reveal how much he had earned, Zhang Haitao and the others were very tactful and did not continue to ask. They turned around and excitedly discussed the arrangements for dinner.
