Chapter 20: The First Job (Seeking Follow~)

Homeowners' associations are non-profit organizations that are widely present in the United States and are voluntary and contribute dues to homeowners.

The primary purpose of the association's existence is to manage the public facilities, safety, landscaping, and other shared resources of the residential community, and to ensure that the overall quality of the community is maintained and improved, and is an integral part of American community culture.

Of course, the existence of owners' associations is usually a little subtle for poor people like Hell's Kitchen, especially in such a special time.

Either way, Lille has now decided to use this approach to gain a foothold in society, and the pressing issue he needs to address is security.

In this way, he needs a reasonable identity to handle these things, such as a company that provides security services.

Security services are of course not only about hiring bodyguards, but also about electronic security systems, such as surveillance networks.

The complete human-computer interaction security system from the world of Cyberpunk 2077 may be full of loopholes in that world, but it is also based on the strength of the hacker's personal ability in the cyberpunk world.

In the Marvel world, in this era, Lille's hacker level is definitely one of the best, not to mention more than 99.9% of the people in the security area, at least 99% of the people.

For example, the portrait recognition system used in the camera, the hazard identification and recording mechanism, and the design experience of the safety system are all things that can be organized into a safety solution.

But his clients were poor people, and he was too embarrassed to take money from Mr. Rigodo.

So he had to earn the first money himself.

He had a lot of software to borrow from the cyberpunk world, but he was a ghetto kid who had just woken up from a coma, and there was no way the rich people would invest in him like that.

You have to make a name for yourself.

Another reason is that the people in the community here helped his family a lot during his coma, and of course he can't just walk away.

First and foremost, the first thing to do is to restore and secure the surveillance network that the community already has, whether private or public.

Mr. Rigaudo did not comment on the first thing to be done by Lille.

He took out a stack of signed agreements and documents, and said with some anger:

"We, plus you and me, have a total of eight families, 26 people, and one family... Hmph, the kid said he had found a job as a typist and was going to move out.

Damn, he owed me two months' rent before! I always thought he had no money, so I made him owe it for the sake of his little daughter!

As a result, as soon as I finished talking yesterday, he settled the money and ran away! Coward! ”

"It's already pretty good – and... There is no shortage of strong men in the manpower of the remaining families. ”

Lille scanned the information of the occupants with his prosthetic eye and recorded all the data in his head.

As for the documents that Rigodo gave him, they were the documents appointing Lille as the representative of the owners' association and entrusting him with the relevant operations.

"What's the use of that? They were all porters, the port was not alive, they were all waiting to starve to death. ”

"It can't be said useless in the current situation." Lille put the papers away and put them in the rag bag that he had sewn and mended, "Then I'm going to sign a contract with my own company, I'm going to change the power lines around the house, and reorganize the monitoring network, free of charge." ”

"Since it's free, you can do whatever you want, just don't break it for me - speaking of which, there are cameras in the apartment, and I don't know why the power is out.

The company that installed this thing for me before went bankrupt and ran away, and no one knew how to fix it. ”

Rigordo said as he mimicked the appearance of the men: "'The line here is maggots in a dung pit' - fuck it." ”

Lille was confident: "I'll fix it - um... And then I'm going to have two more bodyguards. ”

As he spoke, he selected two strong men from the information.

John Burnett, 32, black, with a young son; Anthony Flor, 40 years old, Latino, his wife is the loud Natalia, who has a daughter.

Both were porters, and were gifted in this trade, eating less and working much harder, and being physically strong.

Walking down the streets of Hell's Kitchen, like Lille, you will probably have a blue nose and swollen face when you come back from a walk, not to mention your wallet.

Of course, an extra bit of a tongue as to why tenants are also joining owners' associations.

Because the tenant rights in the United States are quite broad after several strengthenings, but in Mr. Rigodo's case, everyone is poor and owes several months of rent.

There's nothing to do anyway, but if you don't do it, you'll have to get out, so it's better to follow along.

After knocking on doors to find people, Lille's work team was formed.

Looking at the two bodyguards, Lille said: "Our job today is to sort out the wiring of the apartment and reinstall the surveillance system. ”

Anthony raised his hand and asked, "I know you, Lille, I gave you money last year when I still had a job, why did you suddenly become a little prodigy?" ”

Yes?

Lille was a little embarrassed - he had met a savior.

"Uh... I can't help it, I have to help my mom relieve the pressure, right? Besides, everyone doesn't want to be a homeless person, so I naturally have to study hard. ”

"Well, I'm willing to do it with you, and now I can't find a job when I go out, and if I lose my house, I'll have to wander with my wife and children.

But I'll say it first, we're all good citizens, and we won't do anything illegal or dangerous. ”

The big black brother on the side had no opinion, and seemed to be more reticent.

Beside him, he was followed by two black and white double-shakers of one meter eight, full of a sense of security.

The street slickers on the street are a lot more pleasing to the eye.

As a large city with a history of several hundred years, New York's circuits are nothing short of, especially in ghettos like Hell's Kitchen.

Lines stumbled out of telephone poles and covered the street like spider webs.

An electrician's nightmare is nothing more than that.

However, the scanning function of the prosthetic eye of the divergent eye makes it easy for Lille to record and track the lines of the apartment.

The point of finding the wires is that Lille can see where the distribution station that supplies power to the apartment is and think about optimizing the circuits to reduce the risk of fire and, more importantly, to ensure the supply of electricity.

Even, it is possible to install a back door in the transmission network.

The two bodyguards followed Lille in a bored manner, marking all the substations along the way, and then came to the substation.

Then, Lille is going to hack into the substation.

So how do you hack in?

In the cyberpunk world, the reason hackers can stare at the hack is that people are basically on the web.

But in New York in 2011, it was a bit difficult.

Mature hackers certainly won't be stumped by this step.

Lille spent the afternoon crouching outside the substation, and with the prosthetic eye of the divergent side, he found the man who said Senior Engineer on the badge.

After finding his name, the specific information of this person was found on the web.

If you find information, you can find him on the Internet - that would be ideal, but the reality is that in 2011, most people are not in the habit of pointing fingers on the Internet.

Therefore, Lille needs to trigger from the communication base station, he can directly crack the message packets sent and received between the communication companies, find the name of the engineer, and directly use the base station to hack the engineer's mobile phone.

Once you have the basic workflow and other information of the substation from your phone, you can install hacking devices in the right places to control the substation lines.

The process is not so legal, but it can only be done now.

Otherwise, this monitoring one, three, five work, two, four, six rest, there is no monitoring at all.

For the sake of safety... Maybe more should be done.

With that in mind, Lille found the nearest communication base station.

Then, he was surprised to find a sneaky figure near the base station tinkering.

Bang.

"It's so difficult, why is it different from what it says on BBS..."

The figure, apparently a girl, slammed the iron door of the control panel shut.

The mouth is still swearing.

When she looked up, she saw two big men, one white and one black, behind Lille, looking at her like that--

"I'll go!"

The girl was so frightened that she turned around and ran, panicking.

Plopped, tripped over wires, and fell to the ground.

The three of them looked at each other and decided to go up and have a look.
