Chapter 15: The Hacker's Weapon
Just as Guan Yu needs the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and Zhao Yun needs the Dragon Gallant Bright Silver Spear, what does a Hacker like Wang Yue need? A computer, of course!
Wang Yue returned after showering and lay on his bed, checking his savings. The money was barely enough for living expenses, and he couldn't afford to splurge.
He had to find a way to earn money! It was absolutely impossible to get by without it. But what could he do?
People need to push themselves; otherwise, they'll never know their potential. In the real world, Wang Yue could never figure out how to make money and always felt restricted.
Online game private servers should be quite profitable during this period, but that's illegal! What are some ways to make money that aren't explicitly outlawed? How can he at least eat well first? He really missed pickled cabbage fish and twice-cooked pork. Sigh, his mouth started watering.
He couldn't think of a good method, so Wang Yue decided to wash up and sleep. He'd see when he went to the internet cafe. He had class tomorrow, in a field of architecture he was unfamiliar with. Come on, I'm the all-around little prince.
The next day, Wang Yue arrived at class early, securing four seats in the third row by the window. As he was flipping through his book, he suddenly felt a commotion. He looked up towards the entrance.
The four girls from Dorm 402 each had their own unique charm and were all very pleasing to the eye. Their entrance into the classroom caused quite a stir.
However, the commotion only lasted a moment, as it had already been several days since the semester started.
But this time was different. The girls from Dorm 402, led by Zheng Wei, walked directly towards Wang Yue and his friends, stopping beside Wang Yue.
Wang Yue looked up and gestured for Second Brother Zhang Yang and the other two to move further in.
After everyone settled back into their seats, Wang Yue continued reading. Not long after, Zheng Wei, sitting next to him, nudged him with her elbow.
Wang Yue turned to look at her. Zheng Wei saw a string of question marks above his head and couldn't help but smile.
Her smile made Wang Yue uneasy, so he said sternly, "If you have something to say, say it. If you use this Beauty Trap again, I! I'll go along with it!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Those around them who could hear their conversation couldn't help but chuckle.
Zheng Wei was also amused by him. She didn't actually have anything important to say; she just hadn't been able to find Lin Jing for several days and wanted to go to Lin Jing's school to look for him today. She couldn't calm down and just wanted to chat with someone.
"Such little self-control! You still need to practice!" Zheng Wei looked at Wang Yue disdainfully, feeling smug inside. So, this pimple on my face hasn't affected my boundless charm.
"I do need to practice. If something is too easily obtained, you don't know how to cherish it, so I need to protect myself." Wang Yue looked at the blackboard, pretending to listen intently to the lecture, and casually replied to Zheng Wei.
"Pfft!"
Another burst of laughter. Wang Yue was speechless; their sense of humor was too low. Could they still have fun together?
Zheng Wei looked at Wang Yue's serious expression, but she felt a bit hesitant about going to Lin Jing University.
However, she quickly convinced herself. It was her dream since childhood, and she had to face it bravely.
As soon as class ended, Zheng Wei threw her books to Ruan Wan and rushed towards her dream.
Wang Yue tidied his books and turned to ask his three buddies if they wanted to go to the internet cafe. They all shook their heads and advised Wang Yue not to go.
Such good kids! But he had to disappoint them. After all, this was related to Wang Yue's future quality of life. He tossed his books to Zhang Yang and hurried to the internet cafe without delay.
He found a relatively large internet cafe near the school, paid the deposit, found a secluded spot, and started looking for outsourced work.
He browsed major popular websites, forums, and even contacted some company websites to see if anyone needed help. He actually got a reply asking him to design first and get paid upon inspection.
There was no other way; there was too little online work now, so he had to accept. After downloading the corresponding auxiliary software, Wang Yue began his work.
Time ticked by, and Wang Yue was constantly busy. He didn't know how long it took, but he finally completed the task.
He inquired about the boss through internal mail, but the boss didn't reply immediately. Wang Yue took this time to re-examine what he had just finished. After all, he needed to make a good impression with his first job. Fortunately, he didn't find any issues.
Half an hour passed, and the boss still hadn't replied. Wang Yue had lost the patience he had learned from Xiao Nai.
Thus, Hacker Wang Yue, newly entering the arena, struck his first blow against this boss.
Back in his office after a meeting, a certain company boss saw a line of text on his computer screen: "Please review, boss. Work has been sent to your email!"
If Xiao Nai knew that the hacking skills he diligently learned were being used for this, he would probably despise him. In Xiao Nai's words, "vision" is very important.
The boss was startled but quickly opened his email. He was incredibly satisfied with Wang Yue's design. However, Wang Yue's subsequent actions made him consider calling the police.
The monitor suddenly popped up a document with a line of text quickly appearing: "If the customer is satisfied, please remit payment to 6222..." Below it was a list of his business scope, involving mechanical design and computer technology. This document was also saved to his desktop.
The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly replied via email, "Technical review complete, payment will be made."
Wang Yue thought to himself that he couldn't always be searching for work himself; it was better to be a GG. So, he posted on various forums to see if he could attract business.
After finishing these tasks, he noticed it was past eight o'clock. Wang Yue hurried back to school. Passing by the pedestrian street, he specifically bought a few more steamed buns to have as a late-night snack back at the dorm.
He ambled along until the day of registration. As he walked down the tree-lined avenue planted with subtropical plants on both sides, Wang Yue saw a familiar figure. Looking closely, why did she look so much like Zheng Wei?
"Zheng Wei!" Wang Yue quickened his pace and caught up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zheng Wei's attire and gasped.
Zheng Wei now looked nothing like the bright, cheerful young beauty from earlier. Her clothes were slightly disheveled, her eyes were red, and anyone who saw her would immediately think of unspeakable things.
Wang Yue thought to himself, We're only a few episodes in, and the female lead has already been... what? Or is the dark loli not the protagonist?
"Zheng Wei, are you okay!" Wang Yue was at a loss. Despite his age, he didn't have much experience, let alone...
"Wang Yue! Lin Jing is gone, he's gone abroad! He doesn't want me anymore!" Zheng Wei looked at Wang Yue. Seeing a familiar face, her pent-up grievances instantly broke through, and she couldn't hold back anymore.
