Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Hiss, this author is really a Hacker huh

Li Qing rose from the flower bed under the Jintang Network Security Company building, headed to the bus station, and boarded the number 13 bus.

His rental place was in an old neighborhood of the City East District.

Sitting on the hard bus seat, Li Qing scrolled through his phone and tapped into the QQ group titled ‘Everyone has a Responsibility to Follow the Law’.

‘My new book “Hacker Kingdom” has been released!’

‘Who says only those in the light are the heroes!’

Li Qing’s gaze landed on the link sent by Lin Chuan, and his brows shot up, emitting a light “Huh?”

“Huh?”

“The author released a new book, and it’s about hackers?”

His major in college was Computer Information Security Technology, and his greatest aspiration was to establish his own network security company and build his own virtual kingdom.

As it turned out.

For most ordinary people, aspirations are just aspirations.

Forget about starting a network security company, even joining one was challenging.

“Hacker Kingdom, sounds pretty interesting by the name,” Li Qing murmured to himself and casually clicked on the link.

QQ redirected to Sailing Novel.

The world of “Hacker Kingdom” slowly unfolded before Li Qing’s eyes.

‘I am a hacker.’

‘Someone who lurks in the shadows, shunned by the light.’

‘I have battled with countless top-notch hackers from abroad, and they, without exception, have all been defeated by me.’

‘…’

Immediately, Li Qing’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he shifted in his seat, securing his checked shirt with one hand while holding his phone with the other.

“Mr. Lin’s personal writing style is too distinct,” he said.

“First-person narrative, strong sense of immersion, it feels like reading the author’s autobiography.”

“This hacker theme is right up my alley.”

Li Qing’s lips curled up slightly as he mumbled a few words to himself.

He continued reading.

‘In the virtual world of the internet, I am the absolute king!’

‘Countless people have tried to challenge my position, only to fail.’

‘I stand at the pinnacle of the cyberworld, looking down upon my Hacker Kingdom.’

‘There, it is filled with bright red flags.’

‘Billowing in the wind.’

‘…’

At this point.

Li Qing’s pupils shook, and two words slipped out: “Red Hacker!”

Since he started touching the internet and became a computer enthusiast, the term ‘Red Hacker’ had been deeply etched in his heart.

In several massive international hacking wars, the presence of Red Hackers was noted.

The most exhilarating one was when even on the webpage of a white palace, one could see the red flags fluttering in the wind.

Every time he recalled such events, Li Qing only regretted being born a few years too late to participate.

It was quite a pity.

However, reading these two words in Lin Chuan’s “Hacker Kingdom,” Li Qing felt rejuvenated.

His interest intensified.

It could be said that he was the most precise target audience for “Hacker Kingdom.”

Swallowing saliva, Li Qing then immersed himself in Lin Chuan’s novelistic world.

‘My surname is Lin.’

‘A hacker will not reveal their real name.’

‘For now, just call me Mr. Lin.’

‘I first encountered the internet in a dark alley’s illegal internet cafe.’

‘At that time, I didn’t know that crimes could be committed on the internet.’

‘Until, I logged into the dark web.’

‘What you need to know is that the internet has multiple layers, and the ‘surface web’ is what ordinary people access and browse through standard search engines.’

‘Beneath the surface web lies the ‘deep web’.’

‘The dark web is a subset of the deep web.’

‘There, you’ll see a different world, one that may overturn all your understandings.’
