Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Astonishing Increase!
“`
The night deepened.
Above, a bright moon hung high, and silver moonlight scattered across the sky, immersing the city of North Bear in silence. Only the occasional bark of a dog or the shout of a drunken man broke this tranquility.
However, in the silent virtual network, a powerful program quietly swept through the entire hacker community of North Bear.
Let’s call it a rogue program.
Because it was neither a Trojan nor a virus but a simple push notification.
It appeared in the search engines, social media apps, and infiltration tools of hackers in an almost impudent manner.
Inside a bachelor’s apartment.
A young man engaged in network penetration had just finished his day’s work.
Full of vigor, he effortlessly accessed a certain short video website.
“Tired from a whole day, time to relax,”
he muttered in North Bearian, then started flipping through the pages, looking for a video to his taste.
“This one looks good,” the young hacker said with interest as he clicked on the video.
‘Loading.’
‘Load successful.’
Suddenly!
A pop-up ad appeared right in the middle of the phone screen.
[Congratulations, you have been selected as a reader of ‘The God of Hackers’ autobiography.]
[Open this autobiography.]
[You will see the legendary life of The God of Hackers!]
[“Hacker Kingdom,” redirecting in 3 seconds!!!]
Huh?
The young hacker’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the pop-up ad.
After 3 seconds.
The short video website actually redirected to another page automatically.
The Sailing Novel international site, webpage.
“Oh, you madman!!!”
“Which lunatic hacked my phone and pushed this on me?”
“I just wanted to watch some short videos!”
“The God of Hackers?”
“Hmph! Once I’m relaxed, I’ll see what this God of Hackers is all about!”
The same scene unfolded in various parts of North Bear.
On one hand, the hackers were filled with rage, tracking down the origin of this rogue program.
On the other hand, they clicked into Lin Chuan’s novel to see who dared claim to be The God of Hackers on North Bear turf.
Keep in mind:
North Bear is globally known as the most thriving place for hacker culture and the cradle of top-level hackers.
This night,
the hacker community of North Bear was destined to be sleepless.
In the studio,
Angelina, wearing a black off-the-shoulder top, blinked her eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. She then sent Lin Chuan a message:
“The push is complete.”
“That fast?” Lin Chuan, who had just finished washing up and was lying in bed, was somewhat surprised.
“It’s just a matter of coding a program. Tomorrow I’ll also recommend it in your area. I really love your autobiography; they will definitely love it too!!!” Angelina sent another message.
Her words conveyed a sense of ‘no big deal’ and ‘true fan.’
Lin Chuan smiled.
For a world-class hacker, recommending a novel to a friend indeed only required a simple program.
However,
Angelina’s second message made Lin Chuan curious: “Do you also know my friends from over here?”
A touch of pride appeared on Angelina’s face as she sent two consecutive messages.
“Of course. /smug.jpg”
“Don’t underestimate the channels of top North Bear hackers, we can contact anyone in the world.”
“Impressive!” Lin Chuan replied with a ‘thumbs-up.jpg’ emoji.
