Chapter 99: Blocking Accounts
"Of course I have permission... But I don't have time. ”
Char shook her head and smiled bitterly.
He certainly knew that Shadow Street's messaging platform had been taken over by advertisers.
In fact, when Char was in a bad mood a few days ago, he banned the accounts of a group of advertisers.
Among them is Geralt, a wizard councilor of the Shadow Council.
However, Char had so many other things to do, and it was impossible to waste all of his time on Shadow Street.
Even if Char decides to rectify Shadow Street and purge advertisers.
But the advertiser is a group that controls many wizard accounts.
With Char's power alone, how can they all be banned.
However, from the words of the Red Witch, Char discovered the seriousness of the problem.
The hackers entered Shadow Street to become wizards.
And not only because Shadow Street has been around for hundreds of years and is a fair and unbiased darknet platform.
It is also because Shadow Street has a background behind it, which can ensure the circulation of information.
However, the existence of advertisers has hindered the information circulation of Shadow Street.
Char, the great witch, has never traded with anyone except for buying some information from the Red Witch and Merlin.
One can imagine how closed the information of Shadow Street has become.
Other wizards have less permissions, and it's harder for them to buy information.
In a way, Shadow Street is dead in name, and it's only a matter of time before it collapses completely.
"Perhaps... That's what those advertisers are for! Shadow Street is the largest dark web platform in the Federation. They tarnish the reputation of Shadow Street by posting false advertisements. Taking advantage of the opportunity to build other platforms and pull hackers over for personal gain. ”
Char realizes that the situation is urgent, and Shadow Street must start putting things in order right away!
It's easy to rectify, but Char is weak and weak.
"You give me the authority to ban your account! I've been on Shadow Street all these years, and I've long since recorded the account IDs of these black sheep! The Scarlet Witch's light red eyes shone with a strange brilliance, "Moreover, I'm an artificial intelligence now. Although the hardware is not good enough, the computing speed is still tens of thousands of times faster than the human brain! I'm here to help you! ”
"Is it possible?" Char's eyes lit up, it would be great if the Red Witch was willing to help.
She knows more about the situation in Shadow Street than Char.
"Ask Bob." The Scarlet Witch said, "It should work. ”
"I'll ask." Char walked towards Bob again, and he quickly came back in high spirits and said to the Red Witch, "Bob said yes! But every time I ban it, I need to authorize it personally. You just helped me search and find out the accounts of those advertisers. ”
"Hermit-sama, starting today, your name will be a nightmare for advertisers. Shadow Street is back to its former prosperity. The Scarlet Witch laughed merrily.
Meanwhile.
In the building of the Shadow Council.
Wizard Councillor Geralt has a new vest and is meeting with other advertisers to discuss the impeachment of the Great Witch Hermit.
"Damn hermit, you cut off our wealth!" At the mention of the hermit, Geralt couldn't help but grit his teeth.
The last time his account was banned, Geralt lost a lot. A conservative estimate is that his loss was 50 million federal coins.
"The problem is that the Hermit, as one of the founders of Shadow Street, has supreme authority." Another black-robed wizard said, "Even if we unite with the Shadow Council and impeach him, we'll be hitting a stone with an egg!" ”
"Then put a high bounty on him, hunt him, find out his true identity, and let him hand over the authority of the account." An elderly wizard with white hair said.
"A hermit is a very careful person. For so many years, his account has not been leaked. We have reason to believe that he is in a position of power in the real world! It could be in control of a large corporation, or even the top of the federation at all! ”
Geralt shook his head and rejected everyone's proposals.
"I have an idea." Geralt's smile was sinister, "I think it's possible to join forces with the advertisers whose accounts were banned last time to propose impeachment to the Shadow Council for the impeachment of the hermit!" Moreover... We can organize a demonstration! ”
"Demonstrations? Politicians' tricks! The old wizard glanced at Geralt and said coldly, "What's the use? The hermit holds the power of life and death in our hands, and may ban our account at any time! Demonstrations? Do you think wizards are stupid people who have been brainwashed by the media? ”
"I'm going to use the name of the demonstration to put those wizards who don't know the inside story on our thief ship! The hermit likes to ban accounts, so let him ban it. The more he banned, the more favorable public opinion would be for us! This is Shadow Street, the land of freedom! I just want everyone to see that the hermit is a perverse tyrant! Frustrated by the wizards, we took the opportunity to wave our arms and build a dark web platform to compete with Shadow Street! Hehe, when the time comes, we will be the creators of the new platform, with the highest authority, and we don't have to be constrained by these big witches! ”
Geralt had already figured out how to deal with it, and told all the plans.
Hearing Geralt's plan, the other wizards were overjoyed.
I have to say that this ploy is brilliant.
Once executed, what if the hermit bans all of their accounts?
It may be that their short-term gains will be lost, but in the long run, the benefits they will gain are immeasurable.
"I agree!" The aged wizard was the first to raise his hand, agreeing to Geralt's plan.
"I agree too!" The other wizards raised their hands.
Just when this group of wizards was dreaming of splitting Shadow Street and starting a new one.
Their figures seemed to have been erased by an eraser, leaving no trace, and suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, a ban list began to float over Shadow Street.
Bob's icy voice echoed through the Shadow Street like a death knell.
This day was later called "heavenly justice" by wizards!
Within a day, the Great Witch Hermit banned 4,771 advertiser accounts, wiping out all the cancers that infested Shadow Street.
Geralt's vicious plan was declared bankrupt before it could even begin!
The wizards rushed to tell each other and held a grand carnival on Shadow Street to thank the Great Witch Hermit.
Some wizards who had already been cold-hearted and had not logged in to Shadow Street for a long time also logged in to their accounts and returned to Shadow Street when they heard the news of the Great Witch's ban on advertisers.
The originally lifeless information trading platform has finally regained its vitality.
After Merlin got the news, he also landed on Shadow Street as soon as possible.
When Merlin saw the Red Witch beside the hermit, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"What? Seeing me is like hell? The Scar Witch pouted and said.
"You... You're not dead? Merlin looked shocked.
"I'm a Scarlet Witch, so I don't die that easily." The Red Witch didn't tell the truth.
She doesn't want more people to know that she's an artificial intelligence.
"Merlin, you've come just in time! Thanks to your outstanding performance, the Council has unanimously voted to promote you to the rank of Black-robed Wizard and join the Council of Shadows. Char smiled and told Merlin the good news.
"Hermit-sama... I also have good news. Merlin hurriedly said, "A wizard friend of mine, who has admired you for a long time, has a page of Kakule's diary that he wants to give to you. ”
