Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Is it the serious kind?

Before long.

Xinxin rode back on her electric bike in a hurry, kicked out the stand, stepped over with her long legs, and placed the packed beef noodles she was carrying right in front of Lin Chuan.

“Lin Chuan, here you go.”

Lin Chuan looked at Xinxin’s flustered appearance, smiled, and took the beef noodles.

Then, he opened the outer plastic wrapping.

The top of the bowl was covered with slices of beef, with a few scattered pieces of green onion and cilantro for garnish, making it look less monotonous.

As for the noodles, they were nowhere to be seen.

Only beef, no noodles.

“Little Landlady, how generous!”

Lin Chuan grinned and gave Xinxin a thumbs up.

Xinxin caught her breath, the Pikachu on her T-shirt seeming to jump about, and pursed her lips, “Eat up, and then help me fix my tablet.”

“Mou problem!”

Lin Chuan threw out a Cantonese phrase.

The Little Landlady rested her cheek in her hand, watching Lin Chuan eat beef noodles with bored interest.

Finally, after a long while.

Lin Chuan patted his stomach contentedly, “Time to get to work.”

Xinxin’s eyes lit up, perked up with energy, “What tools do you need? I’ll fetch them for you.”

Lin Chuan shook his head and pointed at an old-fashioned computer next to the supermarket counter, saying with a smile, “No need, that computer will do the job.”

Without any hesitation, Xinxin immediately made room for Lin Chuan to sit in front of the computer.

This was an old desktop computer, an entry-level model with not so strong performance.

It was basically good for playing Minesweeper, fighting landlords, and watching videos.

However.

For a hacker with top-notch skills like Lin Chuan, it was completely sufficient.

Lin Chuan first held down the tablet’s volume ‘-‘ button and power button; then the screen lit up, displaying several options.

This was the tablet’s recovery interface.

It’s a system recovery mode that allows for modification and restoration of internal data and system, such as flashing firmware, system upgrades, backups, restoring to factory settings, and so on.

This interface is similar to a computer’s DOS interface.

“You’re a writer, and you can fix tablets too?”

Xinxin watched as Lin Chuan accessed the recovery interface, her eyes gleaming, a smile with a touch of surprise appearing on her face.

“Basic operations.”

Lin Chuan replied succinctly.

Indeed, these were basic operations. Generally speaking, under the recovery interface, you can choose to wipe user data and restore to factory settings, clear the system cache, and this will clean up general trojan programs, allowing the device to boot normally.

But clearly, the Little Landlady wanted to keep the learning materials stored on it, and some trojans disguise themselves as system software, so even after restoring to factory settings, they would still be present on the tablet.

Therefore, Lin Chuan needed to connect the tablet to the computer to analyze this trojan program.

Xinxin watched Lin Chuan’s professional and skilled actions closely, her gaze intense and surprised.

True, she only knew how to watch short videos.

When it came to dealing with trojans and viruses, she was completely clueless.

“What’s next?”

The Little Landlady asked curiously, her brows furrowed.

Lin Chuan turned his head to glance at Xinxin with a smile while sitting in front of the computer, “If you don’t need to keep the data and information inside, you could just download a powerful firmware flashing software, and it would sweep the trojan off along with it.”

Xinxin lightly pursed her lips and said softly, “I want to keep it.”

“If you want to keep it, then we have to get technical,” said Lin Chuan with a chuckle.

“Get technical with what?” Xinxin asked blankly.

“Just watch and learn,” said Lin Chuan with a smile.

He immediately opened a text editor on the computer, his fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard.

Xinxin watched with her mouth slightly open as line after line of code appeared and scrolled on the computer screen, drawing a sharp breath of amazement.

Was he writing code on the spot?

She glanced at Lin Chuan, his slightly handsome face completely focused.
