Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: 134, Treasure chest opened! Even the world’s number one hacker is shocked! _7
 

Although Lin Mo didn’t understand many of the terms, he chewed on the content like a gourmet savoring a fine meal.

An exaggerated and mad idea gradually took shape in his mind…

…..

The next day, late at night.

After a busy day, Lin Mo and Zhang Li sat on the beach, drinking beer and chatting about the future.

Unwittingly, their relationship had grown much closer, no longer marked by the awkward politeness of before but filled with jokes and teasing about their current predicament.

After all, in a sense, they were now truly bonded by a life-and-death friendship.

One could also say they were grasshoppers on the same string.

Zhang Li took a sip of beer and said, “Bro, maybe I shouldn’t ask, but I’m really curious, can you tell me about your story? You can’t imagine how shocked I was when I followed you home that time and saw you driving a Maybach.”

Lin Mo knew he was referring to the time he drove the Maybach to take him home when he was discharged from the hospital.

Song Xuyan had come along to see them off that day.

“Haha, I still remember your expression,” Lin Mo laughed as he took a sip of beer, then teased, “Did you think at the time, ‘Damn, is money that easy to make?’

‘A porter can drive a Maybach?'”

Zhang Li smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to speak.

His thoughts at the time were more or less along those lines.

It wasn’t that he looked down on Lin Mo, but rather that a luxury car worth several million just didn’t seem to fit with the people around him.

It was like suddenly finding out that your elementary school classmate had become the governor of America, hard to believe.

“Actually, there’s nothing I can’t talk about. Let me think… where to begin…”

Lin Mo finished the last sip of beer in the bottle, took a bite of grilled fish, and then said, “Um… I guess I’ll start from your car accident…”

The last time he talked about these things with Li Jinwen was more about unburdening himself.

Keeping those things inside was just too uncomfortable.

But today, recounting these events to Zhang Li felt like a thirty-year-old man telling a twenty-something lad about his heroic deeds of the past.

Less introspection and a bit more exaggeration and boasting.

Halfway through the story, Zhang Li couldn’t help but raise his thumb, his face filled with shock and admiration, and said, “Bro, you’re incredible… If I were in that situation, I probably would’ve panicked and gone to die with Chen Kainan.”

“If so, I guess our whole family would only be able to accompany each other on Nether Road by now.”

Awe was written all over his face!

Lin Mo wiped the beer from the corner of his mouth and laughed, “Wait until you’re married and have kids, then you’ll understand what I was thinking at the time.”

“Come on, another round.”

“Cheers, to my hero, bro!”

Under the moonlight, beside the sea, on the beach,

two men brought together by the caprices of fate raised their bottles together and drained them in unison.

Hum… hum hum…

Just as they set down the bottles and before they had time for further reflection, Lin Mo felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, with the frequency of a message from the deep web.

He immediately put his thoughts aside, stood up, and said, “I’m going to take a call from Tai, probably about the buyer. He’s a bit peculiar and doesn’t like other people around.”

Zhang Li nodded: “Yeah, I understand. These big shots all have their quirks. Don’t mind me, bro, go ahead.”

Lin Mo took his phone and walked towards the off-road vehicle not far away. He got into the car, covered the camera with his hand, and then accepted the video call request from the hacker Dark.

[Abyss, good evening.]

[I have good news for you. I’ve found some potential buyers for your jewelry. They are friends of mine, and they’re very interested. I’m currently negotiating the price with them.]

[If you trust me, you can leave the goods with me, and I’ll handle the sales for you. It would be much more convenient. Of course, if you have any reservations, I can also figure out a way to create a platform for you.]

Dark’s voice, altered by a voice changer, sounded.

Although they had never met, Lin Mo still knew Dark quite well from the series of reports provided by the system.

A dying man certainly wouldn’t covet wealth.

Besides, even if Lin Mo were to sell the jewelry himself, the money would still end up with Dark, who would use it to develop the live streaming software.

Use the right man for the job; don’t doubt the ones you employ.

There really was no need to doubt a man suffering from a terminal illness, potentially dying at any moment, and who also happened to be the world’s number one super hacker.

In a strict sense, such a person wouldn’t be short of money.

With this in mind, Lin Mo smiled and said, [Mr. Kevin, I have complete trust in you, and I admire your actions in Gaza and in Northern Myanmar.]

Dark sounded momentarily taken aback, then joked, [Abyss, I’m very curious, how much do you actually know about me?]

[Do you know? My friend, for the first time in my life, I felt an unknown fear coming from someone else. Before I met you, mystery and omniscience were my trademarks.]

No wonder he was so surprised.

Despite his identity being so well hidden, not only had he created the most secure deep web system, but he had also done so many things internationally that even the elite red hackers of various countries couldn’t find him.

Yet to Lin Mo, he seemed completely transparent.

Not only did Lin Mo know his real identity, but he also knew about his terminal illness and the possibility of his imminent death, and he even knew his past deeds?
