Chapter 813: Collaboration

“Yes.” Oscar nodded. “Ever since Black Hole joined, the Red Maple Alliance has become more demanding of newcomers. They almost wish that every new member could be as good as Black Hole before they could join.”

“Really?” The corner of Fair’s mouth twitched. “Then do they still intend to recruit new people when they are like this? Black Hole is truly exceptional. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a rare genius. I’ve even thought about poaching Black Hole into our alliance.”

“Although they don’t necessarily have to reach the standard of Black Hole, looking at how their alliance only has only added a newcomer after five years, it means that although they don’t necessarily use Black Hole as the standard, they probably won’t lower their standards by much. At least, even if the newcomers couldn’t reach the level of Black Hole, they aren’t far from being a genius,” Oscar said.

“This reminds me of our confrontation with the Red Maple Alliance today,” Muscle said in a deep voice. “Their methods today were very different from before. I thought it was because of that Black Hole. However, after thinking about it, I feel that something was wrong. Black Hole had officially joined the alliance five years ago.”

Before that, Bingbing was only Anti’s disciple. He knew the people in the Alliance and had participated in many alliance activities, but he hadn’t officially joined.

“Ever since Black Hole joined the alliance, we have fought against the Red Maple Alliance many times. However, because Black Hole learned from Anti, his methods and ideas are somewhat similar to Anti’s. After a few exchanges, we could confirm that Black Hole was indeed powerful. However, his methods were somewhat similar to Anti’s, allowing us to determine who the opponent was. However, today was very different. It was obvious that we’ve never seen this method before,” Fair said.

“We’ve been fighting against the Red Maple Alliance for many years, so we’re actually very clear about each other’s methods. Although the alliance is composed of different members, they are always together, discussing and studying each other. They would be inevitably absorb some of their companions’ habits. Therefore, even if their methods are different, there are still places where they are interconnected. But today was different,” Fair said. “The tactics and starting moves are completely different. It was subversive. Not only have I never seen it in the Red Maple Alliance, I haven’t even seen it in any of the alliances. This means that the person who joined today could not be Black Hole. No matter how talented Black Hole is it’s impossible for him to act like a completely different person. It’s impossible for him to not have any traces of his own habits.”

Muscle nodded. “What you said makes sense. So you suspect that during today’s confrontation, when the Red Maple Alliance said that they had a newcomer, it was this GG?”

Oscar nodded. “I think so too.”

“It’s a pity that there isn’t much information about the members in the alliance. I don’t know who this GG is. It would be great if I could fight her again in the future,” Muscle said regretfully.

“Since she has joined the Red Maple Alliance, we will meet again sooner or later,” Fair said.

It wasn’t just the Lightning Alliance that was discussing GG.

Everyone in the industry was discussing.

As one of the three major alliances in the world, the Red Maple Alliance was very popular.

Moreover, ever since Black Hole joined the alliance five years ago, the Red Maple Alliance hadn’t added any new members.

The people in the circle were all guessing if the Red Maple Alliance had raised the threshold to join the alliance again.

Was it possible that they were trying to match up to Black Hole?

Then the Red Maple Alliance would probably never be able to recruit new members for a lifetime.

Just when such speculations were going around, a newcomer suddenly joined the Red Maple Alliance.

Furthermore, all information about the newcomers was kept confidential.

Not even the most basic information like age.

The past results were even blank.

How did such a person join the Red Maple Alliance?

Could it be another genius like a Black Hole?

Regardless of whether they were newcomers just entering the field, experienced individuals who had been in the industry for a while, tech-savvy veterans who were knowledgeable about the community’s affairs, members from various alliances, or even independent hacking experts, everyone was discussing this matter.

Jiang Xun didn’t know that her joining the Red Maple Alliance had caused a lot of discussion and curiosity in the cybersecurity community.

One day, she received a call from Yicheng.

Junjie had something to discuss with Jiang Xun.

Junjie had briefly explained it to Yicheng.

However, Yicheng couldn’t make the decision for Jiang Xun, so he decided to set a time for the two of them. The three of them could meet up or discuss it through a multi-person voice call.

It was naturally best to discuss it in person.

Yicheng contacted Jiang Xun and said, “The people at ‘Superpower 1 to 1’ wants to do something different. They specially contacted Director Ji to come up with a special plan. It’s a collaboration between the two programs. However, isn’t Su Youlan a mentor for ‘Superpower 1 to 1?’ Director Ji was worried that you would be unhappy, so he wanted to ask for your opinion.”

“He is asking for my opinion? If I’m not willing, he won’t cooperate?” Jiang Xun was surprised. “Is my opinion that important?”

Yicheng was speechless for a moment. “I think Director Ji is afraid of repeating the mistake of ‘In Position, Shoot.’ Weren’t you angry because the show deliberately hid it from you and even invited Su Youlan and Jiang Yuexi?”

“Although I was angry, I didn’t want to cause trouble. It’s because the judges were unfair that things escalated,” Jiang Xun said. “Besides, it was ‘Superpower 1 to 1’ who took the initiative to contact Director Ji. It’s not like Director Ji is deliberately hiding it from me. It’s different from before.”

“So, you don’t mind?” Yicheng asked.

“Of course not. Even if Jiang Yuexi is also in ‘Superpowerl to 1,’ I wouldn’t mind,” Jiang Xun said.. “But why would Director Ji consider agreeing to it?”
