Chapter 269

After browsing the deep web for a while, Lin Mo quickly found the hacker who had previously helped him hack into the East Sea City surveillance system. After paying a consultation fee of 1 million, Lin Mo made contact with him.

“I wanted to ask if it’s possible to create a software that bypasses internet regulation to display specific content that I want netizens to see, though the content is somewhat dangerous.”

“Which country?”

The other party replied in English, very tersely.

“Grand Xia Country.”

“Grand Xia Country… How many people do you want to see it?”

How many people?

Lin Mo thought about it, wishing to create enough noise to influence Chen Shanhe, so the more viewers, the better.

“Money is not an issue, the more, the better.”

After sending the message,

Lin Mo stared at the screen, waiting patiently.

He wasn’t afraid to spend money; with the Intelligence System, making money was merely a matter of time for him.

What worried him was that such technology might surpass the technical limits of the hackers in the deep web.

However,

the fact was still disappointing.

The reply came, “I’m really sorry, my friend. With my skills, I can’t do this in Grand Xia Country. Perhaps it’s possible in Isan Country.”

“Oh…”

Was it indeed too difficult?

The other party’s answer was within Lin Mo’s expectations, so he wasn’t too disappointed.

The network security of Grand Xia Country was well-known, and the vast majority of netizens couldn’t even get past foreign networks, not to mention watching unrestricted content that he wanted them to see.

Such a notion was almost like a pipe dream.

Lin Mo didn’t get discouraged, thought for a moment, and continued to ask, “What about other people? Is it possible for anyone? I’m willing to pay a high reward.”

Maybe there is someone out there who could do it?

“Sorry, my friend, I know you are very generous, but as far as I know, no one can do this. Maybe you should ask someone else.”

“Alright, thank you.”

“Goodbye, looking forward to serving you next time.”

Closing the chat interface, Lin Mo consulted several other top-ranking hackers in the deep web.

He spent a lot of money, but unfortunately, it was all in vain in the end.

Even the hacker ranked 3rd on the leaderboard told him that at most, he could influence a few thousand, maybe tens of thousands of people—equivalent to trying a breakthrough in a small city. As for reaching millions, tens of millions of people? That, he feared, only God and Dark could achieve!

Dark was not only the name of this deep web but also the name of its operator.

And the top-ranked hacker on the deep web leaderboard was also Dark!

But the hackers ranked first and second had no contact information, and Lin Mo couldn’t find any message board for them online.

Lin Mo contacted the same hacker again, asking, “Could you tell me how to find the top-ranked Dark? I believe I can offer a reward that will satisfy him.”

“NONONO, no one can find Dark, and no one knows who Dark really is. It has always been Dark contacting others, no one can initiate contact with Dark. I’m sorry, I can’t help you with this.”

“It’s okay, thanks for your response.”

“You’re welcome. Considering the money, I look forward to serving you. Besides, it’s an interesting experiment. If you can find Dark, please make sure he allows me to participate in this project. I am willing to pay.”

These deep web hackers have always been in pursuit of higher technology, so he was not the first one to express interest in Lin Mo’s project.

Other hackers, upon hearing Lin Mo’s plan, were also very interested.

“I hope I can find him.”

After replying, Lin Mo closed the deep web and glanced at the time; it was already two in the morning.

“Huh…”

“I’ve done what I could. Whether or not I can find Dark before he dies, it’s up to luck now.”

“Don’t rush it, there’s always a way.”

“Time to sleep, tomorrow I accompany my parents to go beachcombing!”

Lin Mo slowly lay down.

He kissed both Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao on the cheek, closed his eyes, and while pondering various questions, he peacefully fell asleep.

…

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It felt like I had just fallen asleep, yet as if I had been sleeping for a long time.

“Daddy… Daddy… Daddy…”

“Time to get up! The sun’s going to warm your bum!!”

In the early morning,

Lin Mo opened his eyes to the sweet sound of his daughter’s call, and right after, he saw Li Jinwen and his daughter already washed up, neatly dressed, each holding a small bucket and a long pair of tongs.

“I couldn’t stop her; she’s too excited,”

Li Jinwen said with a smile, “Your parents are also ready. We wanted to let you sleep more, but this girl…”

“Haha, no worries, I overslept,”

Lin Mo stretched, sat up, and said with a laugh, “Parents are ready? I really didn’t expect that. They ran around all day yesterday, and my back’s starting to hurt.”

“Um, everyone is waiting for you.”

“Alright, I’ll wash up, quickly. Just give me a minute!”

As he was about to close the bathroom door, Lin Mo remembered something and reminded, “Oh, right, I ordered some things online last night. They should have arrived. I told the delivery guy to leave them at the reception. Could you ask Mom and Dad to help you bring them?”

Huh?

Ordered something last night?

What did he order?

Li Jinwen was about to ask, but by then Lin Mo had already entered the bathroom.

“Got it, I’ll go get them now.” Without further questioning, as she’d see it soon enough, Li Jinwen told her daughter, “Mumu, you wait in the room for Daddy, no running off!”

“Yeah, I won’t run off. Running off means elimination. I know!” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
