Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 64: What Level of Hacker is Lin Chuan (2/2)
Her fingers eagerly clicked to open “Hacker Kingdom,” the contents of the novel filling her vision.
“`
‘I am a hacker.’
‘A person shrouded in darkness, who can’t stand the light.’
‘I have faced countless top hackers from abroad, and they have all become my defeated opponents, without exception.’
‘In the virtual world of the internet, I am the absolute king!’
‘Many have tried to challenge my position, and all have ended in failure.’
‘I stand at the pinnacle of the internet, looking down upon my Hacker Kingdom.’
‘There, the flags are a brilliant red.’
‘Fluttering in the wind.’
‘…’
Xia Qingqing looked at the opening and slightly pursed her lips, “Mr. Lin indeed didn’t lie to me, there indeed is a part about him transitioning to a Red Hacker.”
She and Li Qing were doing the same work related to network security and protection.
Thus, a theme like hacking was not a reading barrier for her.
Not only that.
As a reader with experience in cyber police, her focus would be different from others.
‘My surname is Lin.’
‘Hackers, do not reveal their real names.’
‘For now, you can call me Mr. Lin.’
‘…’
‘In the corner of this dark internet café, I installed a software called ‘***’, entering a 16-character web address.’
‘The web address is valid.’
‘I continued the operation, set up a VPN, made multiple jumps through networks, and I successfully logged into the dark web.’
‘From that moment on, my life’s trajectory started to deviate.’
‘Because, on there, I saw…’
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing’s brows slightly furrowed, and she couldn’t help but murmur, “Lin Chuan really went all out to write this book, even visiting the dark web.”
“So hardcore!”
As a cyber police, Xia Qingqing was more than familiar with the dark web, and she had only four words to describe the depiction of the dark web in the novel:
Extremely meticulous.
Those who have never entered the dark web might be able to imagine its evils, but they couldn’t depict the details of its sinful transactions as Lin Chuan did.
However.
As long as one did not engage in illegal and criminal activities, cyber police wouldn’t go into detail about who has accessed the dark web through VPNs.
Continuing to read on.
Xia Qingqing gradually became immersed in the ‘Hacker World’ that Lin Chuan experienced.
The pace of “Hacker Kingdom” was not slow.
It quickly entered into the ‘cyber technical offense and defense’ storyline which Xia Qingqing liked.
‘After I became a hacker.’
‘I made my first pot of gold from Company X within just two days.’
‘Twenty thousand dollars, I felt an unprecedented joy.’
‘That figure, in my life, was just a drop in the ocean.’
‘Later, I made fifty thousand dollars, a hundred thousand dollars, a million dollars, but none gave me the happiness that first twenty thousand did.’
‘Because, its significance to me was extraordinary.’
‘It was the first money I made using my skills, opening the door to my new world.’
‘Going back to Company X.’
‘X Company is a technology company, not very large but with a strong sense of protection.’
‘I still remember, that damn firewall, which actually blocked me for a full six hours.’
‘Their firewall used…’
‘…’
Outside the window, the moonlight was clear.
Under the covers, Xia Qingqing’s frown grew deeper as she read on, and she couldn’t help but mutter, “These cyber attacks and defenses are so refined… what level of hacker is Lin Chuan?”
But she didn’t have time to think it through.
In the WeChat work group, it was a late-night bombardment!
‘@All members–Emergency situation, several cities within the province are under attack by foreign hackers, Anling is entering emergency protection mode, all members of the Anling cyber police team to gather in the meeting room at 06:00 on April 3rd!’
‘Received, reply!’
‘For those who do not reply, the squadron leaders will notify each one to ensure the notice is received.’
00:26.
Xia Qingqing’s vision went dark, and after replying with ‘received’, she could only put down the novel that she was just getting absorbed in and hurriedly went to sleep.
