Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Are you promoting me like this? (2/2)
Lin Chuan just smiled faintly and asked, “This is just a work of fiction, no need to take it seriously.”
“NONONO!”
Angelina sent three NOs in succession: “What I see is a masterpiece by a world-class hacker at the peak of his craft!”
Lin Chuan’s eyebrows rose, and his fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard: “Angelina, thank you for your recognition.”
“SO, I, on behalf of HK, am extending an invitation to you, hoping that you will become our ally and fight alongside us,” Angelina invited.
“?”
Lin Chuan was taken aback. She’s inviting me to become an ally of HK?
HK, the most influential hacker organization in North Bear. They have defeated countless hacker organizations in cyber battles and are renowned worldwide.
They are both North Bear’s sturdiest firewall and sharpest spear in the Virtual World.
Angelina explained the reason for inviting Lin Chuan: “In your autobiography, you once committed crimes and later transformed into a Red Hacker to fight for your country, which aligns perfectly with our HK’s principles. We really hope you will become our ally.”
Lin Chuan calmed his emotions and declined politely: “Sorry, I am just one person who wants to write novels.”
Angelina: “We respect your wishes. Your novel is very good; I think I must recommend it to my friends—they’ll love it.”
Mr. Lin’s eyes brightened, and a smile appeared on his face: “Thank you.”
As a hub of hacker culture, North Bear.
Should Angelina recommend “Hacker Kingdom” to her friends, it is bound to be well received.
“I hope we can become friends,” Angelina sent the message sincerely.
Lin Chuan smiled, “I hope so.”
“Alright, I will come to you next time,” Angelina replied.
“Don’t find me like this next time; you can add my QQ or WeChat,” Lin Chuan said with a laugh.
“Okay.”
Angelina left the chat.
A few minutes later.
A notification popped up on Lin Chuan’s QQ.
Ding dong ding dong.
‘Angelina has requested to add you as a friend.’
‘Additional information: Mr. Lin, I am your loyal reader.’
‘Source: Found by account search.’
Lin Chuan smirked to himself, sure enough, even the QQ account is not a secret before a top-class hacker.
Accept.
“Next time you have something to talk about, you can send it directly to me here,” Lin Chuan sent a message to Angelina through the QQ chat window.
“Okay/OK.jpg.”
Angelina replied with an OK emoticon first and then said, “Your novel is just too good. I have to promote it tonight.”
Lin Chuan smiled, “Then thank you for the promotion.”
Loyal reader fan +1.
But.
What Lin Chuan didn’t know was that Angelina wasn’t just a loyal fan, but a fanatic one.
…
North Bear.
In a sci-fi-themed studio.
A girl wore an off-shoulder black top, her white shoulders and neck as graceful as a swan. She blinked her large brown eyes and murmured in the North Bear language:
“‘Hacker Kingdom’ is truly the pinnacle in the Hacker World. I think every hacker should be aware of its existence!”
“Yes! They must be aware of its existence!”
She was Angelina.
Angelina immediately turned on her computer, started editing code, and fiddled with a specific push notification program.
All to promote Lin Chuan’s “Hacker Kingdom.”
That night, an untold number of hackers in North Bear mysteriously received a special push notification on their phones.
