Lin Mo was also quite emotional when he saw the applications from hackers from all over the province displayed on the computer screen.
Since he raised his intellectual attributes to the human limit half a year ago, in order not to waste such a high "talent", he has also used his time as much as possible to learn all kinds of useful knowledge.
However, there is no limit to the sea of learning, and turning back is the only way to reach the shore. After all, the learning of knowledge is not achieved overnight.
He spent most of his energy on learning the prosthetic knowledge of [Speed Component], so that he could become a "genius researcher" and make more than half of the research progress of Qiandai 5.
This also resulted in him not having so much energy to do these things in the process of learning hacker knowledge.
With his current level of hacking skills, he is no more than a newbie at best.
If you change to the hacker equipment - [Network Access Chamber], you can use hacking tricks like [Open Sesame].
It can be imagined from this that it is not easy to learn a skill in a regular and step-by-step manner. Even if your attributes are not low, if you want to reach the sky in one step, you must rely on other things to assist you.
...For example, with skills and expertise, you only need to activate them to quickly master a specialty.
"Now the time for my sister to return to Night City is imminent. It seems that the day to activate the intelligence skill expertise has to be put on the schedule. But this is also thanks to the AI who is doing things behind the scenes. After so long, I can finally get it. It’s reached 1 expertise point and 1 attribute point." Lin Mo thought to himself.
The oil refinery explosion and the attack on the press conference yesterday were enough to provide a reward of 1 expertise point and 1 attribute point.
In Lin Mo's estimation, if he could perfectly deal with the AI that was causing trouble behind the scenes, this kind of "great achievement" of humans defeating the AI, plus it was the "first time", no matter what, he would have to have 1 expertise. points reward.
In this way, he will be more confident when he returns to Night City.
"But for now, let's take a look at the list of applicants."
Lin Mo retracted his scattered thoughts and turned his attention to the computer screen. He concentrated on reading the application list and basically confirmed that there were only two applicants who met his requirements.
Due to the requirements he had set before, if others wanted to accept this commission, they must meet the conditions he listed and also need to seek his consent.
However, given the current domestic situation, if you want to find a cyber hacker who does not work in a company, you must also have a certain level of skills. At the very least, you must know how to enter cyberspace...
After screening these conditions, very few people meet the requirements.
Although he gave a lot of remuneration and the official guarantee of the app, Lin Mo still hasn't found a suitable candidate after all this time.
This kind of behavior has also led to many app users leaving a lot of negative comments under his commission, saying that "Party A is fishing" and "How long has this commission been pending? If Party A doesn't cancel it, is it dead?" Wait for the bad comments.
But hard work pays off, and now there are finally qualified people to take over his commission, and there are two of them!
Lin Mo quickly checked the basic personal information of the two applicants.
Well, the two portraits were of a bright moon and a cute cat... He put his chin on his hand and began to think. He always felt that these two portraits had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
After pondering for a while, he suppressed the suspicion in his heart and continued to observe the other party's basic information.
There is nothing special about the user names. Neither of the two applicants seemed interested in giving them nicknames. Both user names were randomly chosen by the software.
For example, his own username is the one he chose, and his name is [Kang Gaijie’s Lei Feng No. 1]
But...they are all foreign friends?
Lin Mo touched his chin and suddenly frowned at the first piece of identity information on the information column of the two applicants.
He continued to look down, and soon saw the application message submitted by one of them:
[I am familiar with various hacking methods and am willing to provide guidance on the premise that it does not violate laws and regulations. However, if either party is dissatisfied, I can terminate the coaching process unconditionally at any time and the remuneration fee will be fully refunded... 】
Lin Mo keenly noticed one of the words - "full refund"
"It seems she's not too short of money." He whispered.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at another person's message application:
[If it is a lot of common sense and general knowledge about hackers, I can teach you without reservation, but if it involves some more obscure and dangerous hacking methods, these contents need to be understood by us before I can consider teaching you. , but don’t worry, if we all don’t like each other, I will also return all the commissions to you, and we don’t owe each other anything. 】
"Both of them have very demanding requirements..." Lin Mo muttered.
If either party is dissatisfied, the contract can be terminated at any time.
...seems to be fair to both parties, but Lin Mo guessed that this was probably an excuse for the two of them. If they didn't like his client, the two applicants could use this to leave immediately.
And neither of them seemed to be short of money, so they unanimously proposed the preferential condition of "full refund".
But this doesn't seem strange. After all, the two of them are foreign friends. People who have spare money to travel to China are probably not in a hurry to need money.
But I don't have much choice... Lin Mo sighed.
Time was tight, and although the two applicants seemed to be ordinary people who "judge books by their appearance," he still believed that with his "charitable" and "generous giving" friendly attitude, it would not be a problem to satisfy both applicants.
He randomly selected one of the applicants whose avatar was the moon, clicked on the other person's chat box, and tried to have a private conversation with him.
[...Leifeng No.1: Hello]
After sending this message, Lin Mo planned to close the app and go back to sleep. After all, at this time, it was unlikely that the other party would reply to his message.
However, to his surprise, just when he was about to close the app, the reply that popped up shocked him.
[Other: Hello. 】
It's so late, and this guy still hasn't slept?
With surprise, Lin Mo continued to reply tentatively:
[Your conditions are in line with my requirements. Maybe we can try to meet each other. What do you think? 】
[Other: Yes, please give me the time and place]
Yes, it's straightforward and neat. We meet as soon as we say we'll meet, without any hesitation at all. It's completely in line with what I want... Lin Mo nodded secretly.
At least the first impression the other party made on you was pretty good. Being quiet and capable is what professionals can do.
On the other hand, if the other party not only talks a lot, but also shows enthusiasm towards you, this may sound like a sales pitch.
Lin Mo thought for a while, then typed on the keyboard:
[How about just setting it in three days? 】
His sister needed to leave Shenyang for Night City within three days, leaving little time for the two of them to prepare, and he probably wouldn't be able to get away to do other things.
Therefore, he chose to meet three days later. When Xu Wanxue officially left Night City, it would not be too late for him to consider the meeting again.
[Where is the location? 】
[This is tentative, I haven’t thought about it clearly yet] Lin Mo replied.
[I will decide the meeting place. What do you think? 】The other party's answer made him startled.
Lin Mo thought about it for a long time and finally agreed:
【Can. 】
There is a high probability that what he has done recently has not revealed his identity, and the commission he posted on the app has no illegal content or doubts on the surface. He just wants to find a hacker.
Compared with other weird commissions, he is already very "regular".
Just like "Looking for someone to chat with late at night", "Lonely and cold at night" and other commissions, such commissioned posts that a discerning person will know what they are at a glance will still "survive" well on the app.
Therefore, if the other party wants to choose the meeting place on his own, Lin Mo is not worried about any problems with his identity.
The two continued to chat for a while.
Seeing that the other party's attitude seemed a little cold, Lin Mo thought about it and didn't want to waste any more time. He casually replied, "I'm going to bed," and then stopped talking to the other party.
Soon he set his sights on another cat avatar user.
This is also for insurance purposes. If the applicant I just chatted with doesn't like me and doesn't want to teach me anymore, then he can find a good job.
And with one more teacher, he can learn more.
Opening the other party's chat section, Lin Mo tentatively typed:
【Hello】
I thought that the other party would not reply to me immediately this time, but what Lin Mo didn't expect was that this applicant responded faster than the previous one, and gave the answer almost the moment he asked the question. .
[Other: Hello]
Lin Mo suddenly became suspicious.
No, are these two people together? Why did they both reply so quickly?
Could it be a conspiracy of some fraud group...
Although with his strength, it was the liar who should be worried about the safety of his life and property in this kind of scam, but he didn't want to waste time in this place more than being cheated.
Lin Mo asked warily:
[You are probably in the same group, right? 】
【Um? What's the meaning? I'm just one person, why don't I belong to a group? 】
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but still said vigilantly: [In addition to you, I have also passed the task acceptance application of another user. At this point, both of you can reply to my messages in time. This Makes me feel very confused]
[Well, I understand. Let’s get back to the topic. Do you have any thoughts on my commission? 】Lin Mo typed.
[Of course I have ideas, but I think we should meet each other first before communicating. And are you the only one I need to teach? Or do you have other siblings? 】
【It’s just me. 】
[That’s good, I thought you were recruiting class teachers... When do you want to meet? 】
Lin Mo thought for a while and replied: [In three days, what do you think of this time? 】
Anyway, it’s just a meeting with the other person. To save time, he can meet with one of them at noon to discuss, and then meet with the other person in the evening... The main thing is time management!
Moreover, this applicant's attitude seems to be more friendly, and the impression given to him is much better than that of the previous applicant who pretended to be aloof and cool.
[Okay, I am free during this time, but you can decide the time, and then I can decide the location, okay? 】
Is it up to the other party to agree on the meeting place?
Lin Mo frowned, suddenly feeling that there was something fishy about this.
In order to ensure that the other party was not a fraudster, he hinted cryptically:
[Yes, but my parents will definitely not let me meet strangers alone. I will be accompanied by bodyguards. Do you mind? 】
[Ah...Is that so? Then he won’t even follow you to the toilet, right? 】
[That’s not the case. If necessary, I will let him follow us far behind. 】Lin Mo typed.
[Well, this makes me feel relieved. The main reason is that there are many places I want to visit. If we can chat, we can have a meal, watch a movie, and visit an amusement park together... ヾ(@^▽ ^@)ノ】
These days, when netizens meet at a meeting place, do they start by eating and watching movies together?
Eating is normal, but watching movies and going to an amusement park afterwards... there's something wrong.
Lin Mo, who had never had such an experience, was very puzzled. His brain was running at high speed and he suddenly came up with several guesses.
Maybe this way of meeting is the local custom of the other person’s country?
Or maybe the other party is not short of money at all and just wants to eat, watch a movie and visit an amusement park.
Or is it that the other party misunderstood the content of my commission and regarded me as a single person looking for a blind date?
Lin Mo had a lot of thoughts for a moment, and had no choice but to type a reply:
[I may not have that much time. 】
[It’s okay, if we talk properly, there will be a lot of time in the future...]
[With all due respect, I just want a teacher. 】Lin Mo said bravely.
【Um? Isn’t it normal for teachers and students to go out and relax together in their spare time? Isn’t there an old saying in your country called balance of work and rest? 】The other party seemed very puzzled.
Are all the students in your country living in heaven? Lin Mo couldn't help but complain.
However, the other party is a foreign friend after all, and it is normal to have different opinions.
For him, ordinary students should stay in the classroom, but in other people's understanding, students can go out and play in their spare time.
Lin Mo could only reply: [Okay. 】
Just when he had no desire to continue the conversation and was about to end tonight's chat, the other party suddenly took the initiative and said:
[By the way, when I was chatting with you just now, I happened to see an advertisement for a tourist destination in Shenyang on the Internet. How about this restaurant introduction... (a long link)]
Lin Mo was still vigilant, a little worried whether this link might be a virus or something.
But now he is only using the computer, and he is always cautious and will not save any important information on this computer.
Even if the other party wants to steal your own money, it is impossible to succeed.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo uneasily browsed the things stored in the computer again, deleted the browsing history, and then clicked the link with confidence.
However, the Internet link was normal. The moment he clicked the link, an advertisement page for a beach restaurant quickly appeared on the computer screen.
Of course, this is not a normal beach restaurant. Shenyang is not a seaside city after all.
Lin Mo took a cursory glance and found that this was a restaurant that used holographic projection technology and other architectural methods to simulate a beach style. It seemed to be quite popular.
"It seems good to go here at night." Lin Mo said to himself.
Later, he also replied in the chat column:
[The restaurant is good, I can go. 】
[Well, if you think it’s okay, then let’s stop talking here tonight. We’ll see you in three days. Bye┏(＾0＾)┛】
【Bye-Bye. ] Lin Mo typed and turned off the computer without any hesitation.
Overall, both applicants are very suspicious, and their motives should not be so simple... Or is this just him being paranoid?
But then he can use the simulator to predict the situation the next day in advance, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but yawned, turned around and walked towards his bed.
