Chapter 16
Eva's words were indeed too straightforward, but they also played a role in initiating enlightenment, thus stirring up the fire of revenge in Mike's heart. Certain chemical reactions produce subtle changes in Mike's cerebellum, and the original sadness gradually transforms into a clear anger. He picked up the piece of meat that had been cold for a long time next to him, and ate it with the bread. After some nonsense, he suddenly remembered the black notebook that his mother was holding tightly at the end and flipped it open.
'The desert is so hot that it looks like it's about to roast all my trachea......
'I'm going to camp in the mountains today, and I hope the mosquitoes will come home sooner after they've eaten their fill. '
It looked like Papa Mack's notes, and Mike continued to read on.
'When defeating a weak enemy, you need to keep your eyes open, or you will die; When defeating enemies similar to you, you'll need to concentrate yourself while separating them; To defeat an enemy several times your size, you first need to shrink yourself to nothing, and then burrow into its head and wait for it to destroy itself. The page is marked with emphasis in red strokes. Although Mike couldn't understand it, he inexplicably felt that it was like an unfathomable martial arts mantra. So he watched it three more times.
'Omaiga~ I think I'm a little insane today, her innocence, her simplicity, her smile has completely melted my heart. It was as if her beauty was supposed to come from another perfect world, and any flowery rhetoric would be pale and empty in front of her! I hesitated for a long time before I finally mustered up all the courage to invite her to a dance when the minuet sounded. After hesitating for 3 seconds, she stretched out her slender left hand to me, and my heart was about to jump to my throat! '
Mike felt sour when he saw this, and immediately closed the notebook. The words in the notebook evoked an incomparably familiar image in his mind, except that now he saw a boys' version of the same story on the other side. But now any sadness is a useless burden to Mike, and he does not allow any weakness in his heart, even the slightest mention of it will make him feel sick.
For the next week, the old king traveled around to raise funds, but the buddies who were usually not good at iron seemed to be busy at the same time. It's hard to see each other, even if a few people who barely meet before he can open his mouth, they cry bitterly and cry poorly. The old man was often alone in the middle of the night in the office, meditating on something. Casey and Eva, on the other hand, were immersed in the dojo from morning to night until they were exhausted. The entire palace was shrouded in a heavy air pressure. All of this was clear to Mike through the monitors in the back room. He didn't seem to exist at the moment, but he was everywhere.
Two days later, a young man in a black sweatshirt who wanted to meet the king was arranged to wait in the empty parlor. Because he was a new face, Mike paid attention to him.
"I'll see King Shata in a moment. Don't worry, everything is going well at the moment. He doesn't know about my defection to the Silicon King. Okay, let's not talk about it yet. You're just waiting until you're done, counting the money until you get cramps, cluck. The young man in black covered his mouth and whispered on the phone.
'Turtle King or Ghost King?' Could it be one of the six kings that the old king didn't finish talking about last time? What does it mean to defect? Mike thought to himself.
After a while the old king came in.
"Hello, young man. This time, the Silicon King sent you here, what are you doing? The old king asked impatiently.
"That's right. I think the people in the organization have already communicated to you what you want to accomplish at the end of the month. I'm here ahead of time to maintain network security. You know that you have to make sure that you do everything in the right place. There must be no leakage of information, and nothing can go wrong. I'm just the first batch of personnel, and someone will come back in two days to re-check, so please find someone to take me to your main server room. Also, there is no need to deign the king to entertain us every time. Next time, just call your men to lead the way. The young man said.
"You're the number one hacker under the Silicon King, how can you be lazy. Naturally, the people who come next time will not be treated like this. "The old king greeted him.
"That's all in the past, and now I'm just an errand runner, hehe." The young man replied modestly.
"You're being too humble. Okay, time is pressing, so I won't delay your business. Xiao Su, take Mr. to the computer room. "The old king has been tired of even greeting lately.
The young man in black messed around in the computer room for a long time, put a small black box in a very inconspicuous place, and then left in a hurry. Mike had been watching the whole process from the back room.
'The Turtle King, the defection, the server, the hacker... What the hell is this kid trying to do... Mike muttered to himself.
"You're finally willing to eat! That's great! "When Eva heard the report of the maid who brought Mike food, she came to see him in the secret room. But instead of answering Eva's words, Mike hurriedly pulled her to the screen and showed her the replay of the monitor of the young man in black before.
"Can you tell your father to find someone to investigate this man secretly? As fast as you can! Because I have a hunch that he may well be the key to solving your father's current problems! Mike said solemnly to Eva.
Two days passed.
The old king entered the chamber, and the wet humidity in the room made his knees ache slightly, which was one of the main reasons why he did not come often. But Eva anxiously urged him to talk to Mike immediately, how could he be reluctant to pass this princess who was spoiled by himself.
"Are there any important discoveries, little one? Early in the morning, I asked my precious daughter to call Lao Rotten. The old king asked
"Let's take a look at this replay first." Mike skillfully operated the computer and showed it to the old king.
"The person who asked you to investigate came back late last night, and since you slept early, he reported it directly to the princess as soon as possible. The result of the investigation is indeed that he has been expelled from the family by the Silicon King a month ago. The reason is that he recently lost the title of the World Hacker Contest for the seventh time in a row, and the 13-year-old genius who beat him was then almost poisoned by him. He disappeared after the East Window incident. Mike explained.
"Turtle King? Who is it? Casey asked again habitually interrupted
"He is a newcomer to the golden family that has only risen in the last 10 years or so. He currently controls 45% of the world's e-commerce transaction volume, and has been in the limelight for the past two years. Since his main business IT is built with silicon elements, the family gave him the title of silicon king. Although he was crowned king, after all, the foundation is incomparable with those old six king families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. I heard that he often made fun of the turtle king. The old king replied as he motioned for Mike to continue.
Mike continued: "I think our network may have been hacked by him a long time ago, so there is no news of his defection at all. I guess he was in charge of this cyber security check before he was expelled from the family. And he ventured to appear here after defecting, and he definitely didn't come to help the Silicon King, presumably to sabotage this futures transaction for the purpose of revenge, so that the Silicon King could take the blame and make a big profit from it. I don't know exactly what he's going to do. But on the other hand, since someone has already helped you carry the black pot, then why don't we go with the flow. As long as you pretend to be completely ignorant of this, and then quietly buy futures in the opposite direction of your family in the overseas futures market, as long as you immediately submit the video of the man in black coming afterwards, you can not offend the family and make a lot of money! ”
"That really sounds like the best solution I've heard so far. But how can you be sure that he will be able to sabotage this futures trade? Like he said, the Silicon King will also send someone to check. The old king asked.
"At the moment we only need one thing, and that is – wait! Although now it's not certain whether he must have been destroyed. But the people sent by the Silicon King are our touchstones. As long as he doesn't check out that this person has done anything to our server, then he's pretty much sure he's safe. And you're ready to act. Mike said confidently.
"Well, you tell me to think about it again, and if nothing goes wrong, we'll do it. If you succeed this time, you'll be doing me a great favor, young man. I will not do you any wrong! The old king said excitedly.
"It's my pleasure to help you, Your Highness. What's more, without the help of you, Eva, and Casey, I might have died a long time ago, and I don't know what happened. So that's what I'm supposed to do. In fact, Mike had already thought about his own needs after the success of the matter, but he didn't say it. On the one hand, because his heart is not as sure as he said, and on the other hand, he also feels that the time is not ripe now. It's just that he knows deeply that this is what he should do now, what he must do, and the only thing he can do.
