You passed

The day of the party.

The venue of the party wasn't on the resort the Leng and Cai Family were staying. They moved in an another resort that has a banquet hall.

When Qiao Ning Xi got there, she was surprised to see well-known people and celebrities. Qiao Ning Xi could really feel the difference between them.

Since there were many guests, Leng Shaoming and Cai Zhenghao were busy greeting and socializing with others that it was hard for them to have fun with Qiao Ning Xi.

After the party.

Every guests had left except for one.

"Ning Xi, this is my grandfather's godson, my uncle and also my master." Cai Zhenghao introduced Steal to Qiao Ning Xi. Cai Zhenghao knew that Qiao Ning Xi is interested at programming after he found a book about programming language which Qiao Ning Xi left intentionally.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Ning Xi, Zhenghao's friend. Nice to meet you." (English) She said fluently. Steal is a foreigner, even though he can speak p language, it was still quite hard for him.

Everyone was surprised to see her speak english so fluently, well, except for Cai Zhenghao. This wasn't the first time he heard her speak in english.

"Hello, little girl. I'm Jeremy, you can call me Uncle Jeremy. I heard you are interested at programming?" Steal's real name is Jeremy Hunter. Qiao Ning Xi nodded at his question.

Cai Zhenghao called Steal before and introduced Qiao Ning Xi. Of course, Steal doesn't have the plan to accept her as a disciple when he came here. Out of politeness because he didn't want to embarrassed Cai Zhenghao so he told him that he's going to judge Qiao Ning Xi's skill and as long as it is passable he will accept her.

"Should we go to the computer lab?" Grandpa Cai asked.

Qiao Ning Xi, Cai Zhenghao, Steal, Father Cai and Grandpa Cai went to the computer lab. While the others didn't know about this and Leng Shaoming was included. Since Steal has a special identity, only Father Cai, Grandpa Cai and Cai Zhenghao knew that he is a hacker. While they introduced Steal as a programmer to Qiao Ning Xi.

Grandpa Cai and Father Cai knew that Cai Zhenghao introduced Qiao Ning Xi not just for Steal to teach her programming but to become his disciple and learn hacking along side with him.

"What programming languages did you master?" Steal asked Qiao Ning Xi.

"Javascript, Html, Python, SQL, C++, C, Brainfuck and Cow." She answered. Steal frowned. Cai Zhenghao was amazed but Steal only felt that she was boasting.

"Use brainfuck to make the best webpage you can make. I'll only give you 20 minutes."

Steal doesn't like the fact that she was boasting and requested her to use brainfuck. Javascript is the most commonly used programming language and it's normal for her to master it but brainfuck is one of the hardest programming language to master since coding a word can take 5 minutes or more. He wants to see how she could do it in 20 minutes.

Brainfuck took the longest time for Steal to master but it also helped him in increasing his typing speed.

For Steal within that 30 minutes he can already make a website using Javascript. Webpage is a lot easier compared to making a website. It's not like he's underestimating Qiao Ning Xi but because she is still young and only self-taught, so he lengthen the time. He couldn't help but to think of Cai Zhenghao. Cai Zhenghao is gifted in programming and he trained him since he was 3 yeas old. Cai Zhenghao can make a webpage within 5 minutes and a website within 2 hours professionally.

Cai Zhenghao is already within the top 10 fastest programmer in Counrty P.

Normally, it will take weeks or even month to perfect a website and usually in developing an app it can take 3-9 months for a professional app development team.

"Master! Brainfuck? Are you serious?" Cai Zhenghao was flustered after hearing that Qiao Ning Xi will be making a webpage using brainfuck. If it was him, he could make it within the given time since he had learn it for years with his master but Qiao Ning Xi was only self-taught.

Father Cai and Grandpa Cai were confused why Cai Zhenghao was agitated since both of them doesn't know programming.

"It's fine. Can I start now?" Qiao Ning Xi interupted him when she saw him wanting to say something again.

Steal set the timer in the other computer then said. "You can start now."

Qiao Ning Xi started typing at the keyboard. Her handspeed was around 60-70 WPM (word per minute) or 300-350 CPM (character per minute) which is already above the average adult typing speed. A typical 13-year-old has a typing speed around 23 WPM or 115 CPM

Cai Zhenghao and Steal noticed her typing speed. A minute had passed and Cai Zhenghao was relieved to see that Qiao Ning Xi was doing it right. While Steal noticed that the longer Qiao Ning Xi type, the faster she gets.

4 minutes have passed and her typing speed increased and were around 650 CPM. Steal couldn't help but to be surprised but suddenly the screen went dark or blacken but Qiao Ning Xi kept on typing.

"What happened?" Father Cai asked but seeing that no one was answering he kept quiet. Steal and Cai Zhenghao also wanted to know what happened but baised on Qiao Ning Xi's attitude, it should be fine.

Steal's impression towards Qiao Ning Xi changed after witnessing her typing speed. Cai Zhenghao's typing speed is 613 CPM while his is 855 CPM which is top 25 in the hacker alliance. He might be the 9th ranker but that doesn't mean that his speed type also rank 9.

Hacking isn't all about speed type. In hacking having the skills such as computer networking skills, programming skills, linux skills, data-base skills, problem-solving skills and etc. are also important.

It was about to reach 20 minutes when Qiao Ning Xi looked towards the screen that went dark before pressing the enter.

After she pressed the enter, the screen was back to normal and 2 windows were displayed. One was the webpage that Steal was requesting while the other one showed an information, an information of Steal!

Steal, who was observing her, clutched his hand after seeing the information displayed on the screen. His eyes quivered and lost focus for a second.

Everyone were surprised because the information is not about 'Jeremy Hunter' but about 'Hacker Steal'!

The informations were simple but hard to get.

Code name: Steal

Real name: ???

Rank: 9th

Gender: Male

Age: ???

Location: ???

"You.." Cai Zhenghao wanted to say something but couldn't get the word out.

"I want to learn from Steal, not from Jeremy." Qiao Ning Xi said then turned the chair around looking at Steal. Her eyes looks like it can see anything, the fake you and the real you. She was saying, she wanted to learn hacking not programming.

Steal didn't answer her but grab the keyboard and mouse from her and started typing.

Qiao Ning Xi stole an information from hacker alliance which isn't easy but in her previous life, Steal taught her but there is always an aftermath. It isn't easy to steal information from the hacker alliance because once you step on their system, you will be in danger.

They will track your location then kill you to shut you up. That's why no one or only just a few among the hackers have the courage to do it.

It is impossible for them not to track you but you can use someone's IP or location instead and that's what Steal was doing. He is stealing someone's IP to change the IP that Qiao Ning Xi used to that IP then gave or transferred the IP back to its original owner.

This is Steal's specialty, which is why his code name was 'Steal'. He can steal anything without being track or without them knowing.

The hacker alliance wouldn't get suspicious about it because it is common for hackers to use multiple IP to confuse them. It is easy for them to see the fake and the real one but it will be hard for them if Steal did it.

After finishing, Steal finally felt relieved and sighed.

"You do know that was dangerous, right?" He looked at Qiao Ning Xi full of helplessness. He could already imagine how busy he would get if he accepted this reckless girl.

"But aren't you here?" She tilted her head. Seeing her, Steal stared at her blankly then laughed aloud.

Cai Zhenghao also laughed to relieve this nervousness that build up inside him because he also know how dangerous that was. While Father Cai and Grandpa Cai were clueless at first but realized that what Qiao Ning Xi did was dangerous.

"Did I pass?" Qiao Ning Xi looked at Steal, expecting something. Others also looked at him, waiting for his respond.

"You-- Why do you want to be my student? With your skills and talent you can even choose your teacher among the rank 5." Actually, Steal wanted to accept her immediatelya because he knows that she can achieve more than he can achieve in the future but he still have doubts so he asked her.

She smiled and walked towards Cai Zhenghao then grabbed his arm. "Because I know you won't harm the Cai Family and the people around them. I don't want to be in danger."

The corner of Steal's lips twitched, even Father Cai's and Grandpa Cai's because they knew that what she did earlier already put her in danger and walking the path of a hacker also means you walking in the path full of danger.

"I understand. You passed..Now... you're my second student so .... please don't be reckless and ruin my reputation. Also Cai Zhenghao you better watch after your younger sister." Steal couldn't help but to show helplessness.

Qiao Ning Xi became Cai Zhenghao's younger sister because Steal is their master.

Both of them looked at each other and said.

"Yes, Master!"
