Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 74: New Profession, Embark Again! (2/2)
Yu Shan glanced at the caller ID and immediately picked up the phone.
From the receiver, the grave voice of Director Zhang Biao came through:
“Comrade Yu Shan, an urgent notice. The provincial cybersecurity and informatization leadership group has issued instructions, requiring all Cyber Security Detachments in the province to initiate emergency protection measures and rigorously prevent cyberattacks by foreign hackers. There must be no mistakes.”
“Yes, Director.”
Yu Shan’s heart tightened.
If it were normal times, instructions would usually come in the form of documents.
But now, had the situation become so serious that the Director himself was calling to notify?
“How is your cyber defense going?”
Director Zhang Biao asked.
“Reporting to the Director, at the moment, Jintang Network Security Company is optimizing and upgrading the firewall. We expect to complete the upgrade by tomorrow. Our detachment’s defenses are also being carried out in sync to ensure nothing goes wrong,” Yu Shan replied hastily.
“That’s good.”
Zhang Biao’s tone finally eased a bit.
Yu Shan thought for a moment and mustered the courage to ask, “Will there be a large-scale operation by overseas hackers in the coming days?”
Over the phone, Zhang Biao ‘hmmed’ and said, “Our provincial experts have captured some activities of overseas hackers. It has been detected that in the next few days, they will act in a premeditated and organized manner against Han River Network, especially our government networks.”
A shock went through Yu Shan’s heart.
The situation was severe, and he dared not take it lightly, immediately starting to arrange work and stay on guard at all times.
The internet has never been a peaceful place.
The Cyber Police’s job isn’t just to patrol the network.
…
The night deepened.
The moon shone coldly, and on the quiet streets, pedestrians and vehicles were few and far between, with the night enveloping the whole of Anling City.
A breeze brushed through the old town of Anling, wafting into the Happiness Community. Lin Chuan, looking through the window, could hear the sighs of swaying tree shadows outside his cramped rental, as if lamenting the passage of time and heralding new beginnings.
A day’s time.
The data for “Hacker Kingdom” had skyrocketed again.
System panel:
[Work: “Hacker Kingdom”.]
[Current status: Published.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 7878/6000. (Including overseas Popularity Value: 5508)]
Domestic: 2370.
International: 5508.
Although Lin Chuan had urgently halted Angelina’s promotion within the country in the morning, pushing it to fifty thousand readers had resulted in good conversion rates, and the domestic Average Subscription had increased to 2307.
It was still rising.
Without any surprises, in two days, the boutique status should be within reach.
As for the main overseas readership, it came from the Hacker circles of North Bear, with astounding growth in Average Subscription.
This morning it was still 2108, and now it had reached 5508.
A full increase of 3400 in just one day!
Reaching ten thousand subscriptions is just around the corner!
Standing at the window in his narrow rented room, Lin Chuan took deep breaths of the cool air outside and looked up at the bright moon, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
Fortunately, “Hacker Kingdom” succeeded in going international.
His professional life didn’t fall at the ‘Hacker’ hurdle.
Now.
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 7878/6000.]
A new professional experience begins again!
