"Zzzzzzzz. And here I thought I could take my time to do stuff." Kraft said as he received the message from both the System Channel and Jin. He sighed a little while dropping his shield and focused fully on the current console that he was on.
Breaking the lock was something he had already done roughly about thirty seconds into the local network but Kraft wanted something more. The Devil Fox wanted more information about the maximum security prison spaceship. Being a prison ship meant that there were definitely protocols that had been used to call out for the backup. And those backup signals would be encoded with the encryption this military organisation would have been using.
It might sound far-fetched to be able to decode the encryption in less than a minute considering the differences in coding compared to Jin's world but Kraft was somehow a genius when it comes to cracking stuff down. He managed to understand the way the encryption worked and he infiltrated the military channel, allowing him to peep at their radio communication.

Instead, through radio communications, it gave him a better picture of how the military worked and that was his side objective for breaking into the local network. In the meantime, all the data Kraft had fetched were currently being recorded by the System as he performed the greatest heist in this particular universe.
Stealing the maximum security prison spaceship so that they could reverse engineer the technology and make it theirs. Screw the Royal Zodiac Clans and Jin's Dungeon Supplier's store. If Kraft was able to get this as his and understood the concept of space travel, the Royal Zodiac Clan would be standing at the pinnacle of the world when it comes to the multi-country space race. China as a whole will no doubt be pushing their money to ensure that the country would be the first to conquer the Moon or even Mars.
Perhaps with that, Jin could solely concentrate on making his Dungeon Instances to his deathbed without having to worry about money and glory. "Hah! As if I will make it that easy for him to live." Kraft smiled as he finally found the final firewall that was protecting the ships' system.
"System, do you think you can beat the Ship's AI? Or are you too outdated to even do that?" Kraft said as he attempted to connect a physical portion of the System into the current console he was jacked on. Aye, the System had condensed a portion of itself into a portable hard drive so that it could infiltrate the ship. If there was anything to commemorate, it was technically the System's first virgin battle against another AI.
"Just some forewarning. If you fail this battle, you will kinda be an embarrassment especially when you think about it, you the System, a heaven defying magical product lost a fight against a highly advanced technological computer assistant. ASSISTANT."
"The System now understands why some if not all of the minions would have some sort of grudge against you." The System said as Kraft could see that the System finally started its attack against the prison ship's on board AI.
To most people, they might think that the System would have generated a digital Avatar to fight against the Prison's AI but in reality, it was less lit. Numbers and thousands of code were being generated in real time as the System used a variation of techniques to attack the firewall.
In Kraft's eyes, it did feel like a caveman was going up against a grade 15 modern cultivator with the best equipped inscriptions and weapons. Each 'blow' the System tried to give Prison AI, it was met with fierce resistance as the AI even tried to shut the System out of the network.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnfortunately, Kraft knew that this fight would be a skewed one as he plugged another USB drive that had a cute fox sticker attached to it. (Of course with on site modification by yours truly so that he could attach Earth's technology into the console.) "You owe me lots. System. I am demanding Lynn cook me the same kind of affectionate meal Jin has." Kraft said with much anticipation as another wave of code was seen water falling through the console list.
The Devil himself had inserted a USB Drive filled with customised malware and if he could imagine it, they were like little foxes running around to disrupt the stability of the firewall by pouring oil, salt, cement, water and other nonsensical stuff. In short, he was not fighting fair by unleashing a horde of viruses, almost simulating a sort of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack without the need of other networks.
And that little bit of Foxy Technology was more than enough for the System to get up to speed in analysing the Prison Ship's AI, allowing it to 'mutate' and 'evolve' into something more potent to break the defences of the Prison Ship's AI (Sounded a lot like digital evolution from the anime Digital Munsters)
Not to mention, the System daringly absorbed Kraft's malware code and used it as its spear to break the firewall defences. "Come on. Once you have the ship under control, we can skittle diddle away with all these remnants and avoid additional damage to the ship because I am totally not going to waste my chi opening a portal this big just to get this to our world." Kraft said as he could feel that the fighting got even more intense from the sounds of the battle as well as the multiple shockwaves being felt despite the layers of walls Qiu Yue had created.
"Do not worry. The time that Original Bellator Kraft had bought was more than sufficient for the System to understand the workings of the Prison Ship AI. Although the knowledge obtained was still considered minuscule, the System believed that it has a 49.8% chance of breaking the firewall defences in less than 10 minutes." The System reported and Kraft was shocked.
"TEN MINUTES? THAT'S LIKE…ten years in hyperspeed space." Kraft was talking gibberish but he just meant that the ship or the rest might not even have an additional ten minutes to spare. (In hindsight, they had more than ten minutes but it's just that Kraft could not sit still for too long. Perhaps he had an ADHD condition that was never diagnosed.)
"The System will try its best." Not a very assuring answer but it was better consolation than nothing for the time being since Kraft had to waste his time watching the digital battle unfold right in front of his eyes slowly.
'Slowly'.
