Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Little Landlady
The system’s voice continued to broadcast.
[Host, based on your ‘Hacker Professional Life’ experience, the novel ‘Hacker Kingdom’ has been automatically generated.]
[The estimated length of the novel ‘Hacker Kingdom’ is 1 million words, and it will take 10 hours to export.]
[Would you like to export it now?]
Lin Chuan laughed and said, “Export!”
The night had grown deep.
Apart from the trickle of dripping water, all was quiet and still.
The windows were blurred with rain, faint light shining through, as if they were telling wordless tales.
After completing his Hacker Professional Life experience, Lin Chuan was flooded with memories, causing a slight headache.
Whew—
He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow!
…
Lin Chuan slept very soundly through the night.
The rain outside had stopped, the sky clearing after the storm, sunlight piercing through the clouds like the break of dawn, shining down on the old neighborhood, glistening on blades of grass and verdant leaves with crystal-clear droplets, twinkling with dazzling light.
The warm, sunny day after the rain also shone into Lin Chuan’s rented room, lighting up his handsome face.
10:55.
Lin Chuan slowly woke up, first rubbing his sleepy eyes, then stretching, turned over to get out of bed, and opened the writer’s dashboard on his computer.
Average Subscription for “Swindler”: 5829.
Average Subscription for “This Assassin Is Too Professional”: 6013.
Seeing the numbers ‘5829’ and ‘6013’, Lin Chuan’s face broke into a satisfied smile.
“Swindler” is close to an average subscription of 6000.
At that time, he would have two top-quality books in hand.
Next month’s manuscript fee settlement, plus the 50,000 yuan prize money from ‘Heroes Compete’, would be nearly 400,000 yuan!
The after-tax income should be 350,000.
Lin Chuan couldn’t help but grin and laugh.
Only 99.65 million yuan left to achieve a small goal, which was not far off.
And there was key good news—last night he had gained ‘Top Hacker Technology’.
This skill was different from the other skills he had acquired, like ‘Pickpocketing’, ‘Lock-picking’, ‘Homicide Case Handling’, ‘Combat Fighting’, ‘Firearms – Precise Shooting’.
It was something that could truly be applied to life, capable of helping Lin Chuan make money quickly.
Lin Chuan looked up, glancing at the sunlight outside his window.
Life with cheat codes had begun to surge!
His goals, like most people’s, were not grand or lofty.
In fact, one could say they were quite superficial.
Which was to make money!
He knew money wasn’t everything.
But money was the material guarantee of life.
Lin Chuan didn’t dare to date because he was broke and couldn’t shoulder the responsibility.
Now.
If Lin Chuan had a stable source of income or a sufficient capital reserve, he could begin to look a little forward.
As for other societal philosophies about money and those advocated grand goals, Lin Chuan was too lazy to think about them for now.
Not causing trouble for the country was already the limit of what ordinary people could do.
Gurgle gurgle.
Lin Chuan touched his stomach, smiling and saying, “The money isn’t in hand yet, but let’s solve the problem of hunger first.”
He walked down from the sixth floor.
The small supermarket downstairs.
The little landlady, Zhang Xinxin, wore a Pikachu-printed oversized long-sleeved T-shirt, but due to some considerable force of hers, the baggy T-shirt’s Pikachu was stretched out, making it appear lifelike.
At that moment, she rested her chin with traces of baby fat on the glass showcase, her fingers gently tapping on the glass surface, utterly bored.
“Lin Chuan!”
Zhang Xinxin suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by the supermarket entrance, and her eyes instantly brightened.
Lin Chuan turned his head toward the supermarket and raised his eyebrows, “Little Landlady, what’s wrong?”
“I need to talk to you.”
The Little Landlady looked at Lin Chuan with a beaming smile.
“What’s the matter?”
Lin Chuan stepped into the supermarket, looking at Zhang Xinxin with a rising smile on his lips.
Zhang Xinxin peeked out from behind the counter, checked outside the supermarket to make sure no one was passing by, and then whispered, “I can’t watch videos anymore.”
Lin Chuan’s expression changed slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched a little, “Little Landlady, you go through them that quickly?”
“What are you talking about?” Zhang Xinxin pouted.
“Then why can’t you watch videos?”
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Little Landlady.
Her skin was smooth and delicate, with a bit of baby fat, as tender as petals, puffy, and looking further down, the Pikachu was lifelike, making Lin Chuan sigh inwardly, thinking, typical college student.
Zhang Xinxin pouted, took out her tablet used especially for watching videos from the drawer, and said with a bit of grievance, “My tablet has caught a virus.”
“Wow, how much did you watch?”
Lin Chuan took one look at the tablet and saw that its edges were quite worn, and he knew straightaway that this was caused by frequently holding the tablet under the covers to watch videos.
“I didn’t watch!”
The Little Landlady pretended to be angry, with her lips pursed slightly.
Lin Chuan took the tablet; it felt somewhat cold to the touch, obviously, it hadn’t been used for a while.
He then pressed the power button.
No response.
“When did it get infected?” Lin Chuan looked at Zhang Xinxin and asked.
The Little Landlady thought for a moment and recalled, “Around ten o’clock last night, I think.”
“How exactly did it get infected?” Lin Chuan continued to inquire.
“I accidentally clicked on a website, accidentally touched some page, and then it redirected me to another page, and I couldn’t control the screen anymore. I couldn’t even go back,” Zhang Xinxin sulked.
“And then?”
“Then, it automatically opened some programs, and immediately started blue-screening, showing a string of codes scrolling like crazy. After I held down the power button to turn it off, it wouldn’t turn on again,” Zhang Xinxin said helplessly.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, “Your tablet is infected with a Trojan horse virus. Why didn’t you take it to a repair shop?”
“I… I didn’t dare,” Zhang Xinxin stammered, somewhat coyly, glancing at the tablet in Lin Chuan’s hand.
“Learning materials?”
Lin Chuan guessed the reason immediately.
In the past, someone had their computer repaired and explosive photos were leaked, rocking half of the port circle.
With computers and tablets, if they contain your important study materials, it’s better not to take them to a repair shop. It’s best to ask someone you know to fix it.
Otherwise, use a VPN, go out to watch a video, and you might end up being the star of the video.
“Hmm.”
Zhang Xinxin nodded, speaking softly, “Can you fix tablets?”
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then with a hopeful Little Landlady gazing at him, he smiled and said, “I can fix a Trojan horse infection, but…”
“But what?”
Zhang Xinxin’s eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly.
Lin Chuan grinned, “I haven’t had breakfast yet.”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you!” Zhang Xinxin immediately offered, “How about beef noodles?”
“Sure,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Zhang Xinxin beamed, ran out from behind the supermarket counter, with the Pikachu on her chest bouncing like a big white rabbit.
After that, she hopped on her little electric scooter and vanished in a cloud of dust.
In such a hurry!
Not sure if it was to get Lin Chuan his beef noodles or to get her tablet fixed.
Lin Chuan smiled, shaking his head, “The Little Landlady is good in every way, except for her love of watching videos. Whoever becomes her boyfriend will probably have to eat goji berries at every meal.”
Can’t handle it, not at all!
