The ability to draw inferences from one instance to another and to apply knowledge to new situations is a fundamental skill acquired through learning. Some people are born with this ability, some grasp it instantly, and some are not particularly sensitive to it. Li Xingkong considers himself not to be someone who is naturally gifted, but he is the type who grasps things quickly.
Inspired by this high-tech criminal, he naturally came up with even better ideas.
Now that he can see electromagnetic signals, he can completely imitate and forge them without even needing to log in or use any equipment.
What he needs is a spell that can emit electromagnetic signals. All he needs to do is construct a simple spell structure, or rather, copy the structure of a mobile phone that emits signals.
He could easily forge an identical message and send it out.
In other words, he could use the group's account, posing as a contact person, to send messages to Dong Yu, and these messages would only be visible to Dong Yu's mobile phone. This is quite terrifying.
Although these two spells have no offensive power, on the internet, their combination is already at a god-like level. Unless we return to the era of paper letters, there is simply no way to deal with such spells.
Some encryption technologies may be able to protect information, but for every encryption there is a corresponding decryption. Li Xingkong doesn't need to brute-force crack it himself. He just needs to find the corresponding place for receiving and decrypting information, copy the decryption logic, and that's it. As for how the decryption actually works, he doesn't need to know.
We should thank the internet industry for its spirit of technology sharing; technical information can be found directly for any content.
This spell is relatively simple because it has something readily available to refer to: the cell phone in Li Xingkong.
From the beginning of his cultivation of magic until now, Li Xingkong has mastered a considerable number of spells. At first, he felt that magic was mysterious and unattainable, but now he can encapsulate everything in the world into magic. Li Xingkong's concept of magic has also changed.
Previously, he thought magic was just about fighting, attacking, defending, flying, and escaping. But now, when he looks at magic again, he can only say that any principle that exists in the world and any law that can operate can be encapsulated into a spell.
It is essentially closer to a program that can manipulate reality; creating spells is equivalent to writing a program that runs in reality and can interfere with the real world.
Learning a spell is like downloading and installing a software package on a mobile phone. Whether it can be installed, whether it can run after installation, and whether there is enough memory depends on the phone's own hardware and software.
If you have an iPhone, you definitely can't run Android apps. Similarly, an old phone with only 200MB of memory just can't open WeChat.
In this sense, spiritual practice is like treating the human body as a mobile phone, undergoing a process of gradual upgrades and replacements.
Once the veil of mystery surrounding magic was removed, Li Xingkong was able to use it even faster. After understanding the underlying theories of magic, Li Xingkong now had the ability to transform any man-made tool he saw into a magical form.
While the difficulty of constructing spells varies, it's ultimately just a matter of time.
That night, Li Xingkong couldn't sleep at all, he was busy figuring out the structure of the spell. A signal transmission port on a mobile phone is not complicated for modern industry, and correspondingly, it shouldn't be too difficult for Li Xingkong either.
He spent the whole night constructing the spell's structure and even tested it on his own phone.
This spell is indeed effective.
Li Xingkong tried sending himself a text message:
"Dear user, 10 billion yuan has been deposited into your bank account xxx. Please check your account."
I found a random bank number in my phone and pretended it was the sender.
Li Xingkong then received a text message on his phone.
The text message was exactly what he expected, and even the sender was the same bank.
It's exactly the same as a real text message, with absolutely no difference.
Even if this text message is submitted to our bank for verification, it is still genuine. However, the message only exists on the recipient's phone; the bank will not have a record of it being sent.
The experiment was a success. Li Xingkong then tried various apps on his phone, and they were all very successful.
He had no intention of becoming a high-tech criminal, nor did he intend to make a fortune from this, yet the magic was indeed his creation.
Li Xingkong felt a little inexplicable. This spell was basically useless when used for good purposes. But when used for evil purposes, it was simply a magical weapon.
Is this considered sorcery? I'm such a kind person, how did I invent such evil magic?
I don't understand. Anyway, I won't spread this stuff around. Even if someone else makes it up later, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
However, now that the spell is complete, it should still be used at this juncture.
After cultivating for a while, around 7 or 8 a. m., Li Xingkong began his operation.
He impersonated the WeChat account of the director of Cherry Blossom Wind Group who was in contact with Dong Yu, and sent a message to Dong Yu.
"The plan has changed. You'd better come and give me the plant today. Come yourself, don't give it to anyone else."
Li Xingkong had a pretty good idea of when Dong Yu would reply. This guy was incredibly diligent when it came to money, and he definitely wouldn't delay for his cash cow.
Sure enough, Dong Yu replied to the message in less than a minute.
"Yes, Director, I'll prepare it right away. Should I deliver it to the group myself?"
He didn't dare ask a single question about the previous plan; he was merely an executor, and whatever others said was law. He only had the right to follow orders.
"I'll send someone to pick it up; all you need to do is hand it over to him."
Li Xingkong, mimicking the tone of a board member, sent a message to Dong Yu.
"Okay, I'll set off right away."
Dong Yu didn't dare to ask anything. He immediately jumped out of bed, quickly put on some clothes, and started washing up.
"He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding." Since you've accepted their payment, you'd better do their job properly.
He rushed out the door, not even bothering to clean up the mess his house had been in all night.
Li Xingkong sent him the location again, and also provided a common communication password used within the Cherry Blossom Wind Group. He had seen this while spying on the screen, so he figured he might as well use it; it would make things seem more authentic.
Having done all this, Li Xingkong prepared to go to the agreed-upon place to retrieve the Body Tempering Grass. Of course, he had to disguise himself before setting off. Although the Cherry Blossom Wind Group was located in Divine Land, its core members were mostly from Cherry Blossom Country, so Li Xingkong's disguise was mainly based on the appearance of Cherry Blossom Country, with some appropriate adjustments.
If he met Dong Yu in the guise of Divine Land People, Dong Yu would definitely be dissatisfied. But if he went in the guise of Cherry Blossom Country, it would be different. Some people act like dogs out of necessity, while others act like dogs because they genuinely consider others their masters.
They even treat everyone from other countries as masters.
