The three looked at each other and smiled. The girl stood straight, put her hand to her head in a military salute, and said: "Boss this is what we are here for! Your orders are absolute!"
Feng Xi smiled and said: "Good! What are your names?"
"I'm Zhu Zexi, but my hacker name is Tech" Zu Zexi said. She still stood in her military salute.
"My name is Su Bo, hacker name Laughing Man" Su Bo replied, he too, was standing in a military salute.
"Gao Ling, hacker name Black." Gao Ling was the only one standing there leisurely. He seemed to be bored because after he spoke he let out a big yawn.
"Zexi, Bo, you two can be at ease no need for military salutes. You are my people. I only ask for your loyalty and to follow orders. All that ceremonial crap is not needed. " Feng Xi waved her hand. She hated formalities but she knew at certain times they were needed. "Only on missions will I call you all by your hacker names. Outside of missions, you are normal people. As of now, I will give you all a test."
Feng Xi walked over to the laptop that Dai Fen prepared for her. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a USB drive and stuck it into the slot. She then opened a file and installed a program. This program was something she had written herself. It was a program that hosted a dummy bios system with a massive security system built into it. "This program here is a little something I wrote a few days ago. Your task is to hack this laptop and access my program and copy the hidden file inside. The file itself contains your next job. But I must warn you. As soon as you trigger one of the security breaches you will have to work even harder as the program will begin counter hacking you. So if you do not want your computers to be destroyed I would suggest not to get detected."
All three people standing in front of Feng Xi stared at her in disbelief. She wanted us to break some program she created? Did she not know that they were the best of the best in China!? What program could she write at her age that they couldn't hack!? Only if these three knew that in Feng Xi's past life she had a master's in computer science and could code programs beyond anything they had ever seen.
Feng Xi gave them a sly smile as she saw the main window for her program fire up. On the screen, the words Hells Gate appeared. "Okay, the program is up. Just remember to back up your files before accessing this laptop…. Otherwise don't blame me for what happens."
After she gave them their task Feng Xi left the room followed by Prince Jin and Dai Fen. "Young Miss isn't this test a little too simple…" Dai Fen couldn't help but think that anything she created would be easy for those three.
"Grandpa Dai, you will know by tomorrow morning how hard this task actually is. We might even hear a few screams of agony during the night." Feng Xi explained. Dai Fen could see that Feng Xi seemed to be pretty sure of herself but he still couldn't help but think that it was all just a ruse.
"Grandpa Dai, have another bed brought into my father's room. Jin'er and I will sleep in there tonight." Feng Xi paused her steps and turned to the Qiu sisters, taking a piece of paper out of her pocket. "You two take some board guards and find as many of these medical herbs as you on this list. I will need them for my father's recovery."
"Yes! Boss!" The Qiu sisters said at the same time.
"I will have Mo LuiXian get some people to bring your bed in. This old man needs to take a break himself." Dai Fen complained as he patted his back.
Feng Xi let out a laugh as she gave Dai Fen a hug. This hug startled Dai Fen causing him to blush. "Little girl, you already have a husband, don't be going and hugging us old men."
Feng Xi laughed but did not let go. "This is my way of saying thank you! Also, you should move into the palace as well. It will be dangerous for you right now."
"This old man already planned to do so. I still have to inform your grandpa who is coming back from overseas on what is going on. He said he should be here by tomorrow night." Dai Fen explained.
"Okay, I won't keep you. Have a good night Grandpa Dai." Feng Xi released Dai Fen and walked into her father's room. Dai Fen smiled and went to talk with Mo Luixian.
Inside the room Feng Xi sat in a chair next to her father's bed, reading his pulse. Prince Jin was telling the guards where to put the second bed. He then made it up nice, making sure it was perfect so that Feng Xi could get a good night's sleep.
It had been no more than twenty minutes when a knock came at the door. Feng Xi could hear faint sobbing on the other side. Her lips curled upwards as she got up out of the chair. She walked over to the door and opened it to see a teary eyed Zu ZeXi standing there with her laptop in hand. "Boss! Your evil! What kind of program was that! As soon as I even touched the edge of the program my laptop was instantly hacked and every file deleted! If I did not save all the files like you said my life's work of hacking programs would have been gone! Boss, that program is evil! There was even a picture of a little devil with a pitchfork that laughed at me right before my screen went black!"
Feng Xi looked at the aggrieved Zu Zexi and laughed. "Did you think just because I am young that you could easily hack my program. That program is called Hells Gate and is made to be one of the best file protection programs in the world. I spent a whole three hours on that program. But you didn't even last thirty minutes!"
