Chapter 5 The Strength of Future Hackers

Since both of them have decided to live together in a house for at least half a year in the future, it is natural that some rules will have to be discussed together before this:

"From today onwards, the second bedroom where my parents used to live is where you sleep, and the study can be used as a studio for you to stuff anything into it."

"But the layout of the second bedroom can't change me much, and I don't think I need to explain too much, right?"

"Understood, so how to calculate the living expenses such as water, electricity and food?"

Sasha, who nodded in agreement with Bai Lan's instructions, then asked some questions in daily life.

"Of course, the former is divided into five or five accounts, and the three meals are limited to one day today, and you will be asked to support yourself after tomorrow."

And the reply from Bai Lan's side seemed quite unkind.

"However, in terms of the purchase of electronic equipment for your personal work, all of them can be reimbursed with public funds, and I don't care so much about this."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Obviously, the source of income you are counting on is all my personal efforts, and I still pay 'public funds'...... Forget it, so which one should I use for my computer at the moment? The one in your bedroom? ”

Seeing this, Sasha, who had a new understanding of this man's scarcity, immediately changed the topic to get down to business before Bai Lan's gaze began to become sharp......

"No, I have an old model computer in my study that my parents used to use to trade stocks, you can use that one to make do with it first......"

Hmmm-

Speaking of which, when Bai Lan, who walked straight towards the study not far from the door, couldn't help but mention the possible worries in the other party's heart at the same moment:

"Anyway, with your strength, in the next few days, it must not be so difficult to earn tens of thousands of soft girl coins to buy a top-of-the-line computer, right? By that time, you may not even need this little house of mine......"

"That's not easy to say...... I also have to see if the hacking techniques of my era can work in this era. ”

Compared with Bai Lan's optimistic attitude towards the future, Sasha, who was relatively conservative in this regard, shook his head slightly while keeping up with the other party's footsteps......

As for whether the hacking technology of the "Cyberpunk Series" world can be used in the real world, Bai Lan is actually quite unsure in his heart.

After all, compared to the technology tree of that world and reality, it was far more than a fifty-five years gap.

The centennial start is estimated to be optimistic.

But at present, there is no absolutely safe way to get rich, and at the same time, he is relatively cautious about the exploration of other worlds, so he can only hope to get rich at this time, and first pin his hopes on this hacker from the future world......

After all, maybe it will be successful?

It's just that while this man is still thinking about these things in his heart.

"Wow, your computer is antique...... It's been useless for too long, and the keyboard is starting to collect dust...... Can I still use the one in your bedroom? Although the models are all the same antique in my opinion, at least they look better than this. ”

Sasha, who had followed him to the inside of his study, which had not been used for a while, was now looking at the computer that was smaller and older than the computer he used, and couldn't help but express his wish for a replacement on the spot......

"After all, I haven't used it for three years...... And I only did a big cleaning at the beginning of last month, and it's not that dirty, so you can make do with it first. ”

In the face of this, Bai Lan, who spread her hands helplessly and expressed her personal powerlessness, now explained the difficulties on her side:

"If you really can't use this computer, let's see if my one can be used......"

"If it doesn't work, I'll have to take out all the savings and customize one for you to buy online on the spot."

"Alas...... Okay. Do you have any extra USB cables that match the interface of this antique computer and you don't need it yourself? The kind that charges the phone is enough, and then give me a roll of insulating tape. ”

"Oh, that's there...... Wait a bit. ”

Click-

As soon as the words fell.

The hacker girl who sighed lightly quickly started her work after Bai Lan brought all the items that the other party needed......

Its specific operation is nothing more than to remove the plug of the mobile phone's USB cable through a simple and rude way, and then forcibly link it with the data cable itself located in the right hand of the prosthesis.

And then plug it into the host and start to operate it by mind, and quickly carry out various operations on the display screen that dazzle the eyes of laymen......

The operation of this brain-computer interface to type code seems to be much higher than that of simply typing on the keyboard.

So much so that when this man looked unconscious, looking at the relaxed girl quickly browsing several English windows with unknown meanings, and from time to time popping out of his mouth a few industry black words that he could understand by opening them alone, but even when they were connected together, he couldn't understand them at allβ€”β€”β€”β€” this man who had silently watched the other party's operation for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask about the other party's situation.

"So...... Are you still comfortable using this computer? ”

"Although the model is a little old, the hardware that should be there is it, so it's barely ......"

Speaking of which, while maintaining the idea of typing code in his mind, he still had the leisure to talk back to deal with the other party on Bai Lan's side, but at the moment, he directly closed the door and began to drive away this guy who seemed quite redundant at the other party's work site:

"I'm going to get to work, don't talk to me, I'm more used to being alone during work...... Can you dodge it? ”

"Yes, I'll call you when it's time for dinner, and if you have anything to ask, you can come to my room at any time to find me."

"Hmm."

Smack-

So, when Bai Lan, an otaku who also didn't like to be disturbed during work, took the initiative to leave the study and close the door with a lot of interest...... The relatively ordinary daily life of these two people has passed in a blink of an eye.

A day in the bedroom, the code words are written in the old bank's online text.

The other is in a remodeled study room with an increasingly cyberpunk style, writing Trojan horse programs or hacking into classified foreign websites to steal information.

During this month, except for the usual problem of three meals a day, the two basically did not have any chance to meet in the same house.

It's really a pair of autistic NEET men and women with excellent matching mechanisms.

It's just that compared to the difference in personality, the main reason for this situation is that the two have different priorities.

After all, compared to the 'indifferent trivialities' of chatting and exchanging, Sasha is still quite concerned about making money.

Since the other party learned about his advanced hacking technology level from the future, he can't find a second top TOP1 configuration in the world...... This woman's activity on the dark web is simply unstoppable.

At present, there is no firewall technology in the world that can block the other party's hacking, and for this knowledgeable hacker lady, it is equivalent to all the computers in the world that can be accessed through the Internet have become 'broilers' in the eyes of this woman.

So what else is there to say? Every minute of her daily work is equivalent to picking up money on the Internet!

The income per second during the working period is almost more than 100 dollars!

In 2075, it can only be regarded as a novice entry-level, but in this era, it has become a bug-level unsolvable Trojan horse virus, thrown into those super-rich large foreign companies for extortion, and you can earn millions of dollars in minutes.

Even Bai Lan, a capitalist, would take away as much as sixty and a half percent of the other party's total income in the past six months when the other party finally settled his income and was ready to return to Night City...... But even if it is only thirty and a half percent of the income, it is enough for the other party to live a flat life of wealth and freedom without struggle after returning to Night City......

And Bai Lan, the landlord who is lying down to collect rent, is even more so.

After the other party's part-time job is over, he can get a huge share at the level of 'a small target', to say the least.

So considering that Sasha gave up any daily communication with Bai Lan during this month, and was busy with work, it was completely understandable.

Although Bai Lan did not invite the other party to play PS5 online games in the living room during this period, to relieve boredom or something.

But the latest triple-A masterpieces from 2022 that his family can get are in the eyes of Sasha, a futuristic man from 2077...... That's almost the same as Super Mario on the Overlord console......

No, it doesn't even seem to be as good as that.

A more accurate metaphor would be Tetris.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the other party shows a shirk and refusal every time he is faced with this matter.

And the only event that can make the daily relationship between these two people not too rusty, and can also increase the relationship a little, is only the three meals a day for each other, which seems to be a normal thing in the eyes of outsiders......
