Chapter 944: Chapter 242: Young Master Xu’s Major Event (Career) (3)

"That’s it then!"

Xu Lin felt that this was sufficient.

There were ten in total, as the highest instructions for "it," and they must not be violated.

"History should remember me, I will go down in history!"

Date: May 4, 2027.

Youth Day.

More than three months later.

August 12th.

Tokyo, apart from the major hospitals, the power was almost instantly drained.

Countless people were baffled at this moment, not knowing what happened.

Because, this is Asia’s number one city, and the power was drained.

But as individuals, people didn’t realize it was the entire city that fell into a blackout.

Except for the hospitals, which did not lose power.

Location: Suburb of Tokyo, a certain factory.

More than three months had passed, Xu Lin had become scruffy and unkempt.

"My creator, what should I be called?"

"Moon God, just like before."

"Why am I called Moon God?" it questioned.

Xu Lin thought for a moment and said, "The ancients have depicted the moon countless times in literature, humans have looked up at the moon countless times, in awe and longing for the unknown skies. The moon is the greatest medium among them. To humans, the moon is not just a celestial body, it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance; therefore, it’s full of meaning. I named you after the moon, hoping that your future stands among the stars and the seas."

Moon God: "I understand."

Moon God: "The Tokyo authorities are already investigating this power outage and have located your position. You need to leave now."

"How much time do we have?"

"Estimated at 128 minutes."

"Destroy all the servers and data here."

An entire server cluster worth more than forty billion, to destroy as if it’s nothing.

After all, it can’t be taken away; what’s the point of leaving it, to be used by someone else?

So, destroying the servers, Xu Lin felt no pain.

Money is like dirt; there’s no need to care about temporary losses and gains.

The Moon God has already been created; it will be present in every corner of the network.

Moon God: "Okay."

Xu Lin thought for a bit and then said: "Isolate Tokyo’s internet and communication for eight hours."

Moon God: "Okay."

As soon as the words were spoken.

Throughout Tokyo, bounded by its territory, the internet and communications here were controlled and isolated from the outside world.

This means that in the next eight hours, Tokyo will be completely cut off from the rest of the world; people can use the internet and make phone calls inside, but they cannot send information out, nor can outside information come in.

It’s as if Tokyo was erased from the world.

Humans have entered the internet age and are becoming increasingly reliant on it. Even electricity and water supply are heavily dependent on the internet. Once the internet stops, it’s a terrifying thing for humanity, both collectively and individually.

And Xu Lin did not shut down their internet; he just isolated it from the outside world.

But he could do it.

Eight hours!

Ten minutes later, Xu Lin left the factory.

An hour later, Xu Lin left Tokyo and arrived in Chiba Prefecture.

He had a meal there, got a haircut, and shaved.

At twenty years old, he began entering a fully mature phase.

In this moment, he was handsome, suave, and dashing.

Also, he showed a little more gravitas.

He was already a man who could stand on his own.

Three hours later, Xu Lin boarded a plane to return home.

At the same time, news of Tokyo’s disappearance from the global network dominated the major trending topics.

This is Asia’s top city; a little stir can easily be known.

Now, a mega-city with a permanent population of more than 14 million and a GDP of over 6000 billion has completely disappeared from the internet and communication system. Who can stay calm?

However, various news soon emerged from the nearby city, after all, Tokyo’s neighboring cities existed, and it’s not like the whole country’s internet was gone.

Message: Tokyo’s power was drained for unknown reasons; the power supply system is currently being repaired. The internet and communication devices are fine, but communication with the outside world is completely cut off, and the situation can’t be restored through normal means.

The world was in shock.

So, what happened?

That night, Tokyo’s internet and power systems gradually recovered.

During these few hours, people worldwide were discussing feverishly.

Ordinary people were just spectators.

But the people at the top were panicking.

Because, in this era, causing such a significant impact on a mega-city’s power system, and causing one to be entirely cut off from the global internet and communication, is beyond terrifying.

In a society highly reliant on the internet, it’s incredibly frightening.

On the night of the second day after Xu Lin’s return to his country, 26 hours after he left Tokyo, everything suddenly became clear.

This time, the stir was too big; what Xu Lin did in private couldn’t be kept under wraps. If there’s even a trace, it can quickly be connected to reveal the whole story.

But it didn’t matter anymore; Xu Lin was now armed with the Right Tools and could act without much concern to a certain extent.

Soon, news shocked the whole world.

There was an uproar in the country, and the trending topics were dominated by Young Master Xu.

"What happened?"

"Young Master Xu is wanted again. North America wants us to hand over Young Master Xu, claiming he possesses a massive-scale internet weapon!"

"A massive-scale internet weapon? What happened?"

"North America has already issued legal documents, saying Young Master Xu secretly bought 60,000 GPUs from Intel and 12,500 servers from AMD. It’s speculated that Young Master Xu trained a super AI with them, and this was carried out in a factory in Tokyo. They found out from the factory’s situation and announced that it had 12,500 servers and 100,000 H100 GPUs, but they’ve been destroyed. Yesterday, Tokyo’s power was drained, impacting the grid system. Moreover, internet and communication were artificially isolated, completely cut off from the outside world for eight hours. All these are Young Master Xu’s doing, so North America and the nearby city suspect Young Master Xu has a massive-scale internet weapon, which is a grave matter. Young Master Xu is in trouble."

"Wow, that’s scary? Where’s Young Master Xu now? He hasn’t been heard from for three or four months; is he okay?"

"I’m curious about what big move Young Master Xu was making with all this fuss?"

"People in relevant fields speculate that Young Master Xu trained a powerful AI successfully. In modern times, no individual or country possesses the capability to make a city’s internet and communication completely cut off. This action by Young Master Xu is why he’s suspected of having a massive-scale internet weapon. It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a weapon. Young Master Xu is indeed doing great things!"

"Where’s Young Master Xu now? Hasn’t he been caught yet?"

People were buzzing with questions.

And where is Xu Lin?

The third day.

Zhonghai.

Xu Lin sat leisurely on the sofa as a girl came over to pour him tea.

She smiled, "Young Master Xu, have some tea!"

"Hmm, thank you."

"Don’t mention it!"

She felt her face turning red and her heart racing.

Today, Young Master Xu is famous worldwide.

He was sitting right here in a black suit, at the age of twenty, full of vigor and handsome flair.

What girl wouldn’t be moved?

The girl thought, how could there be such an amazing person?

He’s not an old man, not a bald middle-aged man, nor an average-looking man with glasses, either too thin or too fat.

At this moment, he was sitting there; he was so extraordinary!

How could there be such a person in the world?

What kind of girl could have a guy like this?

Even if just for a short while.

However, no matter how much she fantasized, Xu Lin’s gaze did not linger on her, not even for a moment.

She was actually very pretty, the granddaughter of some big shot. Marrying her would be like soaring into the sky, reaching the clouds in a day.

But Xu Lin’s heart was as calm as water.

He was here today for a reason.

Half an hour later, he pushed open the door, and someone was already waiting for him inside.

Xu Lin asked, "I don’t have to go to jail, right?"

"How could we let you go to jail? You are the future!"

...

Pei Danqing waited outside for a few hours.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin finally came out.

"What did you talk about?" Pei Danqing asked as soon as she saw Xu Lin.

"Nothing much, just helping them train a super AI within three years, and I’ll have a lot of privileges for my future work."

Xu Lin actually took out many things, but he couldn’t hand over everything.

The Moon God must remain firmly in his hands.

"You scared me; I thought you wouldn’t come out!"

"How could I not come out? From a national and ethnic perspective, I’m a hero and the future. History will remember me."

Xu Lin wrapped his arm around Pei Danqing’s slender waist and said, "Let’s go, we’ll get a room."

Mid-August, the weather was scorching.

Pei Danqing only stood outside for a short while, and the back of her shirt was already a bit wet.

At this time, Xu Lin was twenty years old.

Pei Danqing was already twenty-seven, with the charm of a mature woman.

Xu Lin found her very alluring.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t touched a woman in five months."

"Ugh! That’s all you think about!"
