[Summit of Our Youth]

[Episode 18]

Remember Ms. Zheng from B&C Motors?

The one who tried

hitting on you at that

dinner party?

She's been working her team

to the bone,

a total cancer in the business!

She's Lin Jiadong's aunt.

Got the same taste, huh?

You knew all along,

but still

kept him around, why?

Not worried

he'll stab you in the back?

He's not

exactly a saint,

but I doubt

he's involved.

He's just indecisive,

easy to sway.

Care about your fans, huh?

So, what'd they wreck?

Just a couple of computers.

Idiots.

Breaking our gear

doesn't slow us down.

Data's

been in the cloud forever.

If anything,

it lit a fire under the team.

Now the team spirit is

absolutely unshakable.

Good to hear.

Try this.

Too much sodium.

Bad for my heart rate.

Then try this.

Full of allergens.

I'll break out.

What's wrong?

Didn't say this one was bad.

Bitter melon.

It's bitter.

Not exactly lucky.

TCM, Western Medicine,

and omens, we take everything

seriously, right?

Guess so.

So...

This one's for you.

Protein, carbs, vitamins,

perfect balance,

all yours.

Let me try.

How is it?

This takeout...

Takeout?

I made it!

No wonder it's so good!

For real?

But I've got something

even better than food.

What?

Come here.

You...

Where'd you pop up from?

Been here this whole time.

You two were so busy

being lovey-dovey,

you forgot I exist.

Where'd you pick up that line?

It's okay.

Go on, just pretend I'm invisible.

I don't mind.

You...

You're not feeling well?

Headache, huh?

I'm calling a doctor!

I'm fine!

No way, your brain's priceless!

Really, it's nothing.

Seriously,

he's not made of glass.

Girl,

you've been here this whole day.

Anyone'd think

he'd suffered major trauma.

Little girl,

what do you know?

Like you're some wise old lady.

Stop acting like one.

Listen, kid,

I'm way more mature than I look.

What about you?

Shouldn't you be doing homework

instead of scrolling on your phone?

Guess your teachers

don't pile on enough.

Just say the word!

I'll bring you

college entrance exam

prep books next time.

As many

as you want.

Rest assured.

Your girlfriend is so fierce.

You'll get used to it.

What time is it now?

Why? Got plans?

You got

company coming?

Just tired.

Feels like

nap time,

right?

Yeah.

Finish eating, then rest.

I gotta head back to campus.

The competition's

been keeping me so busy

I can't even keep up with classwork.

That sounds tough.

I'll root for you from here.

How about I feed you?

I can feed myself.

I was doing fine!

Not really.

Okay,

fine.

You forgot

I was here again?

Thought she didn't mind!

I'll do it myself.

Okay then.

I'm heading out.

Go on, don't worry.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

I'm off.

Bye, don't worry.

Eat up.

I'll clean the plate.

Sorry, you really can't go in.

They're in a meeting.

Sorry,

you really can't go in.

Investment of 1.2 million...

What's wrong with you?

Ms. Zheng hates being interrupted

during a meeting!

Lin,

long time no see.

Take him to the reception room.

Don't bother.

Need to show Ms. Zheng something, then I'm gone.

Last night's security footage.

Turn that off!

I know

Ms. Zheng hates being interrupted.

Likewise,

Team Capital U

feels the very same way.

No idea what you mean.

That's fine.

But if you guys

pull another stunt,

this video won't just

stay on my phone;

it'll be

all over social media.

Maybe Ms. Zheng

doesn't care about her rep,

but I bet B&C Motors does.

[In-patient Department]

Kiddo,

don't tell the nurse

I slipped out, yeah?

No way!

She told me

to keep an eye on you.

Stuck on that question?

Come on,

I'll help you out

if you keep my secret.

Deal?

Are we living in the Stone Age?

I can always find an answer online.

Saves you the trouble.

Messi's Legendary Journey?

Book cover trick?

I'm telling your mom.

It's not a trick!

It's THE legend,

you know?

How about this?

You keep quiet,

and I'll tell you

when Messi wins his next title.

Why would I believe you?

Smart!

Always fact-check first.

In a few weeks, in the World Cup qualifiers,

China beats Korea 1–0

for their first win.

Come on,

at least make up a good story.

What's it gonna hurt?

Could be true.

You seriously know

when Messi wins a title?

For real?

For real!

Keep it to yourself.

Where are you going?

Citizenship & Conduct

Assessment's coming up.

Can I skip it?

Wanna watch the national team

make us proud.

What, planning to retake it again?

[China Dragon Team Fan Club]

Why even watch?

We're gonna lose anyway.

True.

Come on, we're gonna be late.

Move it.

Take Lin Jiadong down

in this round,

or nobody leaves, got it?

Got it!

Wrap this up in five minutes,

don't wanna

miss the qualifiers.

Let's do this!

Beat Lin Jiadong in five minutes?

Savage.

Three minutes, tops.

Gonna hear the anthem.

Here comes the soon-to-be loser.

Lin, welcome back from the hospital!

Show me your

firewall source code.

So?

Pretty ironclad, right?

Check this out.

Isn't this our source code?

All out in the open now?

Posted half an hour ago.

Guess we didn't clean up

the wreckage properly,

someone swiped it.

Last time, our computers

got smashed to pieces,

we salvaged what we could,

something must've slipped out.

You don't think

they recovered our hard drive data,

did they?

What now, Xuejiao?

The intra-team comp's

about to start.

There's no time to recode.

Zhihua, you're here!

Zhihua!

Don't worry,

we're fully prepared,

ready to roll.

Scared

to watch me lose?

Hello, Gu Xuejiao.

Hello, Shu Lan.

Hello,

Wenbo.

Hello,

the rest of "Nobody Cares".

I'm Zhao Feifei.

This is Siqi.

Whatever.

After this match,

we're done seeing you.

Did you leak

our firewall source code?

I beg your pardon?

Checked it already.

You all saw it?

Help me reach out

to the teams on this list.

Get me details

on their deals with B&C.

Nice work.

Shame it's leaked.

Your perfect code

is now scrap paper.

Such a waste.

How about this?

Merge the two teams.

But I'm afraid

that'd be like

mixing oil and water.

You've got an idea, don't you?

I do.

For this comp,

Professor Tan's

heading the judging panel.

Also,

to keep it fair,

we've got

a mystery

guest judge.

Now,

I'll announce the new rules.

Due to unforeseen circumstances

affecting

one competing team,

as per Professor Tan's instructions,

the format's shifting

from smart-device control

and attack/defense

to precision strikes

on distributed server nodes.

Forget about your firewalls,

attack only,

no defense.

With school's approval,

Professor Tan

will repurpose

all idle classroom PCs

during

this afternoon's

Citizenship & Conduct

Assessment.

They'll form a local network

of distributed server nodes.

Both teams

must precisely locate

the judges' PC

hidden in a matrix

of hundreds of

campus computers,

then hack

and take over

its smart-device simulator.

All PCs

run the same

simulation program

with dozens of randomized

countermeasures

and dynamic IPs.

Zero hints provided.

Pure tech skills only.

First team to break in

and take control

wins the competition.

Any offensive tactics allowed,

attacks stay

inside the campus LAN.

All the campus PCs are ancient.

Shu Lan,

mask your laptop

as the OS server

and push

system update requests to every node.

Once you've logged

all their system versions,

launch zero-day attacks on the targets.

Quick reminder, everyone:

among all distributed nodes,

only one

is your real target.

Waste time

on the wrong machines, and you...

Check this one

in Lab 1,

something's off.

Check this out.

Where?

On it.

Okay.

Team China's doing great.

Maybe

they'll surprise us.

Look!

Yeah?

Send it over.

[Citizenship & Conduct Assessment Exam time: 14:00–15:00]

[Capital University Citizenship & Conduct Assessment]

The exam's started.

[Citizenship & Conduct Assessment Exam time: 14:00–15:00]

[Capital University Autonomous Driving Lab]

I'm good here.

How about you?

Got the wire tapped and ready?

Can you hijack it?

Keep going with the hijack, okay?

Alright.

Your target...

Bro,

hack into that LAN.

On it.

Send us the short list.

Okay.

[Virtual machine system's been breached]

Tan,

guess we've

been spotted, huh?

Yep.

A team nailed

this exact classroom.

Looks like

we've got a winner.

Let's see who it is.

[Citizenship & Conduct Assessment Exam time: 14:00–15:00]

Lin's really

improved a lot these past two years.

Xuejiao's gonna

have to work harder.

Yes!

We won!

Made it!

Winner!

We won!

Yes!

Bro!

We're getting hacked back!

What?

Putting your face

on the big screen?

That's cruel.

Let me show you

something better.

Chief Lin,

your team made a clean breach

into the judges' PC.

Impressive, I'll give you that.

But we

hacked every computer

in the building

in the same time.

You go for precision,

I go for brute force.

Good thing you walked right into

the trap we planted.

Otherwise

this wouldn't

have been such a blowout.

Uh, technical glitch!

Everyone, don't look!

Turn in your papers,

now!

Nice shot!

Nice!

Goal!

Team China!

Great goal!

What's happening?

Go, China, go!

Let's go!

Team China, go for it!

Team China, go for it!

Come on!

Looks like he's

picked his side.

So, judge,

who's your winner?

I'll pass.

Huh?

You little punk.

Hear that crowd outside?

They're the real judges.

We won!

We won!

Why are you clapping?

Shouldn't we

toss the captain in the air?

Where's the captain?

Where's Xuejiao?

Congrats!

This win's

all yours.

You're the brain

behind the intrusion strategy, right?

No work talk during our quality time.

Alright.

Awesome job!

What reward do you want?

I'll decide later.

Take a break.

Get some real food?

Deal.

Where's the remote?

Where's the remote?

Phone down.

Put your phone down.

Stop recording!

We're all adults here.

What's the big deal?

What's that?

Gonna take a video.

Stop staring, single pringle.

Find the remote!

Let's go!

Hey!

Find the remote.

My phone!

Dig in.

Dig in.

Why aren't you eating?

So, primates

evolved the sense

of smell

so they could identify

rotten food in the wild.

Don't worry,

it's legit stuff.

It won't kill you.

Well,

you try it first.

Nope, you go.

Come on,

let me feed you.

No, I'll feed you.

Come on.

Time to prove your love.

Wait.

I'll do it myself.

Figures,

breaking your limits

takes baby steps, huh?

Want more?

Sure.

Half a bowl.

You didn't

leave me a single bite!

I was just

trying to push you out

of your cautious bubble.

Didn't think I'd overdo it.

Guess I'll

tackle this junk alone.

No need to drag you into it.

No way.

This doesn't count.

Then what does?

Want me instead?

No!

Primates, you know,

evolved the sense of smell

to detect

rotten food in the wild,

not to eat luosifen

and kiss me.

Well,

guess it's time

to prove your love.

Scared?

Nope.

Smell's gone.

What's going on?

No idea.

I'm emo.

Need to crash here a few days.

You guys, carry on.

Rui,

you've been here the whole time?

Just woke up

and needed water.

Didn't see a thing.

You guys go ahead.

So,

rough night?

Whatever.

Just

feels off.

I'm fine.

Doesn't

look that way to me.

Just carry on.

I'll get the door.

You're here too?

Hello?

It's me, Gao Rui.

You okay now?

Thanks for taking care of me last time.

So, uh,

I lost my phone,

using a backup now,

just in case

you need me.

Here's my new number,

wanna save it?

Got it, thanks.

Bye then.

Hang on!

One more thing.

Spill.

Well, uh,

your earring fell off at the...

I've got it here.

I can drop it off

when you're free.

Earring?

We'll see.

I've been swamped.

Oh, and

if it's easier,

I can just mail it.

Got another call,

hanging up if it's nothing urgent.

No, it's urgent!

This is super urgent!

Hello?

Slippers here!

Bag can go up there.

I've

got a few things

to wrap up.

Just make yourself at home.

What's the deal?

Xuejiao!

Knew I'd find you here.

Congrats, little rockstar!

Thanks, Zhiyue!

Petal's been stressing

about this competition thing nonstop,

worried you'd be down if you lost.

But now it's all good,

happy ending!

By the way,

talked to everyone

on that list you sent me.

Here's

their feedback.

What list?

Well,

I won't crash

your duo time.

I was just

passing by anyway.

Trio?

I'm out.

You're leaving?

What now?

Do something!

Zhiyue,

we're out of...

Soy sauce!

Can you take Gao Rui

to grab some?

Got it.

Let's go.

Yeah, I see.

But the more money

the industry raises,

and prepares to deploy,

and the more it is open to ordinary investors.

The more pressure

it will come from regulators

to improve transparency.

Okay,

call you later.

Zhiyue,

you've been

pretty busy lately, huh?

Swamped.

Laying the groundwork

for your startup team

takes a ton of paperwork.

Still caring for me then, right?

What's that mean?

Well, after that night,

I tried calling,

but you kept dodging me.

So I wondered

if maybe

I messed up that night.

What else

do you remember?

That night,

things got kinda blurry and we just…

Well,

next morning

I woke up feeling guilty.

But don't worry,

I'll definitely

take good care of you.

Who asked for that?

Come on,

as a guy,

I should

take responsibility.

Gao,

I think

you might've gotten the wrong idea.

Wrong idea?

No way.

So,

that 300 yuan

you left me

that night...

Was that hush money?

Hush for what?

That was for your cab.

Now I get

what you mean.

Listen.

First,

I didn't do

anything to you that night.

Hitting on my brother's friend

would be way out of line.

You were just too drunk,

and I was worried about you.

So I got you to a hotel.

Second,

I was looking out for you

only because

Lin got you hurt

once before.

As his sister,

it's only right

that I take care of you.

Third,

I'm not the kind

to play the games like you think.

So,

please get that idea

out of your head right now.

Sorry,

I misunderstood.

I'll hop out up ahead.

Your stuff.

Thanks.

This year's National College

Intelligent Security Competition Preliminaries

have successfully concluded.

The prelims used

a mix of group matches

and round-robin rounds.

From Group A,

the long-time powerhouse Capital U,

and from Group F,

the dark-horse UFE,

both punched their ticket to the final.

This edit is amazing!

Got me all fired up!

Totally!

Come on,

here's to our most esteemed MVP!

Someone commented,

"Who says geeks can't be gorgeous?

Capital U's captain proves them wrong."

Xuejiao, you're totally stealing the spotlight!

Too bad no one was allowed

to watch the prelims in person.

I'd have been there with my camera,

snapping you from every angle.

Can I come to the final?

Oh, come on!

Give me a break.

Besides,

your boba shop is super busy.

You wouldn't even have time.

But speaking of the final,

you're

facing Zhou Shiyun.

Who'd have thought you two'd

end up as rivals after all this time?

Thinking back to high school,

this is gonna be

a drama-packed showdown.

Drama? Seriously?

This is a championship match

and you're thinking about drama?

Didn't you hear the host?

Capital U is the long-time powerhouse,

while UFE's the dark horse.

Plus, you're the team captain,

and she's just a regular member.

It's pretty clear who's got the edge.

Guess

no room for drama then.

Sounds like

you're disappointed?

I'm already exhausted

running my shop all the time.

Now I can't even enjoy some drama.

All your fault

for being so darn good.

Still,

Zhou Shiyun making the final

is impressive.

I can't underestimate her.

In my heart,

no,

objectively,

you're still the best.

Alright,

you keep making the money,

I'll bring us the glory.

Just remember

to take care of me when I'm old.

Deal!

Out of beer. I'll grab some more.

I know you're good,

but with the final coming up,

don't get too carried away.

Last bottle.

Cool.

Two beers.

Xuejiao!

What a coincidence!

Long time no see.

The final is soon,

just relaxing while I can.

You guys too, huh?

Shiyun's team is totally on edge...

The committee hasn't released

any details yet.

But word is,

the challenges

are tougher than ever.

Sounds like

it's gonna be brutal.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

we'll find a way, as always.

You sound really confident.

Well, yeah,

the final is almost here

and you still have time to eat out.

Aren't you here too?

I saw your team's match.

You gave clear calls the whole time,

and your team worked great together.

Great job.

I'm glad

we're facing your team in the final.

We've known each other forever,

but I'm not going easy on you.

Funny,

neither will we.

Just wait and see.

Pick up my tab.

Are you...

feeling upset?

Nope.

She's Capital U's captain,

I'm just

a regular UFE member.

I don't even get to feel upset.

Just to be clear,

even though Xuejiao and I

are siblings by blood,

I never spoke up for her.

So don't take it out on me.

Oh,

should we grab some snacks

for your roommates?

The more things change,

the more they stay the same,

Xuejiao's kinda right.

It is just the same game in a different skin.

Nothing to stress over.

Glad you see it that way.

Your team's way too tense.

You barely even eat.

Just watching you guys

gives me stomach cramps.

So, in the final,

who're you rooting for,

Xuejiao or me?

Both of you.

Only one's gonna win,

pick.

Well...

I pick you!

You hesitated.

I'll definitely pick you.

The final is open to spectators.

Wanna come?

Happen to have a few extra tickets,

no point wasting them.

Um...

Got plans that day.

Alright then, forget it.

Ma'am, ready to order.

Coming!

[LAB309 Capital University Autonomous Driving Lab]

[1st National Intelligent Security Competition]

Sugar's good

for calming nerves.

Congrats!

You talked your way

into the final,

carried by your team.

My bad.

If we'd faced you in round one,

you'd be

in the audience chilling right now.

If it were a bragging contest,

I'd lose hands down.

Too bad

it's not.

Attention all contestants,

competition's about to start!

Ready, everyone?

Ready!

Ready!

Three, two, one,

go!

Welcome

to the very first

National Intelligent Security Competition.

I'm your

special guest commentator today—

game designer, Gu Mingze.

Just call me Mingze.

Today we'll be

using B&C Motors'

newest smart car,

a model

loaded with cutting-edge

autonomous driving tech

and an unmatched driving experience.

Ladies

and gentlemen,

[National Intelligent Security Competition]

the NISC final

starts now!

This round's arena

is split into a free-battle zone

and a scoring zone.

The ultimate goal

is to use remote-control tech

in a cyber offense-defense battle

to seize control of the car.

[1st National Intelligent Security Competition]

We've already got a team

breaching the vehicle's security system.

[1st National Intelligent Security Competition]

Told you it'd only take ten seconds.

Blue Team scores.

[1st National Intelligent] Score's now 0–1.

[Security Competition] Score's now 0–1.

[Capital UFE vs. Capital University 0:1]

Nice!

Sway to the left.

I'll cover the right.

Blue scores again!

Red puts one on the board.

Wenbo, hold your side.

Got it

Blue scores again.

[Capital UFE vs. ] Score's now 1–5.

[Capital University 1:5] Score's now 0–1.

[NATIONAL INTELLIGENT SECURITY COMPETITION]

Keep up, guys!

Not bad!

That was close,

you totally saved us!

Piece of cake.

Xuejiao,

something's off.

How's UFE

injecting commands

faster than

our firewall can process?

Let me check.

Same here.

Don't panic, I'm checking.

Data's not moving.

It's frozen.

Let me check.

Looks like Capital U's data commands

are acting up.

Red scores.

Can you block it?

Nope.

No way, Xuejiao,

it's dead.

Red scores again.

Good!

I've been attacking their flag

nonstop,

but can't break through.

Red scores.

[Capital UFE vs. Capital University 4:5] Score's 4–5.

So, Mingze,

who do you think's

got the upper hand?

Take it easy.

Personally, I think

Capital University's

got standout individual skills

across the board,

but in terms of potential,

I'd say

[Capital UFE vs. Capital University 5:5] UFE...

Red scores!

We're tied, 5–5!

Red's closing the gap!

UFE's

straight-up taunting

Capital U, huh?

Capital U calls a timeout.

Any issues on your side?

None here.

What about you?

No issues here either.

Then why are we

bleeding points like this?

We've run these plays forever,

same offense, same defense,

old playbook.

It's not like

they got cutting-edge tech.

Then it's not the machine.

So, a human issue?

It's the remote control signal.

This router

came from the organizers.

I checked it

before the match.

Pull it up, quick.

I'm on it.

Easy!

Be careful!

We need you to send

the vehicle's command logs

to us.

Pull up the logs.

Lin Jiadong's sent the logs!

What's going on?

Packet loss rate

is over 50%?

It's a hardware issue.

I'll talk to the organizers.

What's going on?

Look.

According to the rules,

no swapping hardware

mid-match.

If you think

the race isn't running smoothly,

you'll have to fix it yourself.

I've checked it a million times,

still no idea

what's wrong!

Feels like my time at Capital U

was a total waste.

Come on, think!

Signal?

Packet loss?

Tried, no luck.

We've basically got this won.

Really?

In the bag.

Shu Lan,

got any gum left?

How much do you want?

All you've got.

I've got some here.

Me too.

Shiyun,

great observation and analysis,

kudos.

You'll be MVP

if we take the championship.

Thanks, Captain.

Alright.

Start sticking.

What's Capital U's team

doing over there?

Are they losing it

under the pressure?

I have to remind you,

Capital U,

you've only got

ten minutes left!

Alright.

You go.

Go, go, go!

Signal's back yet?

Lin Jiadong, shift right a bit.

Got it.

It's working!

Yes!

We've got speed.

This signal booster is...

It's working!

We made it!

So cute!

Nice one, Xuejiao!

Don't go easy on them now.

Got it.

Watch me take them down.

Blue scores again!

I got to their flag.

Pull it back fast.

Don't let their wheel spin.

Blue puts another point on the board.

No worries.

Found their weak spot.

Go this way.

Got it.

Blue scores!

♪Because I'm certain of this love♪

♪Summit of our youth♪

♪Even if the wind roars, it's okay♪

♪There's a figure approaching♪

♪I know it must be you♪
