Chapter 447

While Gu Ding and the others were busy tracking down the files, the Stephens and the other higher-ups of the Gates family were not idling around. They once again appeared at the negotiation table for various projects, which surprised many people.

Faust thought he could relax a little now that his dad and the others had woken up. He did not expect Stephen to ask him to participate in every project negotiation. He was still unusually busy, but the pressure was much less.

On Neptune's side, although they had cleaned up the designer's belongings, they were still monitoring the designer's every move.

Two days later, an encrypted number dialed the designer's communicator.

The designer glanced at the number and immediately pressed the answer button.

A man's voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Burgess, it's time to deliver the new decrypted file today!"

"Boss, I think the project file that I recently decrypted might touch on a core secret. The password for this file is dozens of times more difficult than the previous ones. Two days is far from enough. I estimate that I'll need at least a month to complete the decryption, "Burgess, the designer, explained.

"What's the file number?" The voice asked in surprise.

"The file number is 0009527," Burgess immediately answered truthfully.

"I got it. I'll find someone else to decrypt this file. You can move on to the next one. If you find any more difficult passwords later on, don't waste your time. Report it to me directly, and I'll find someone else to decrypt it. "The voice on the other end of the communicator quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"What about the reward …" Burgess asked worriedly. After all, he was earning money from the decryption. If he was not allowed to decrypt these core files, how would he calculate his reward?

"I'll give you the money. If it turns out to be a core file, I'll double your reward. Although you didn't decrypt it, you were the one who discovered it. You'll be credited for it. "The words of the person on the other end of the communicator put Burgess at ease.

"Thank you, boss!"

The conversation between Burgess and the boss was clearly heard by Gu Ding and Neptune.

"The guy called boss only asked for the file number and said he'll find someone else to decrypt it. This means that he should have at least one of these files with him." Gu Ding came to a bad conclusion.

"Don't worry, I've cracked the real number of the 'boss'. He's indeed from the Koch family. I just found out that after he ended the call with Burgess, he dialed another number. That person should be the second person who cracked the password … because he asked that person to stop cracking the password and focus on cracking the file that Burgess mentioned. "

After Neptune finished speaking, he directly hacked into the hacker's intelligent wristwatch and replaced all the documents. He also scanned the person's intelligent wristwatch and found two different encrypted numbers in the person's contact list. After leaving a surveillance virus in the opponent's wristwatch, he exited the opponent's intelligent wristwatch.

Through the two encrypted numbers, Neptune did not have to spend much effort to trace back to the original numbers. One of them belonged to the "boss", while the other one belonged to the Fallor family.

Neptune then found another hacker from the Fallor Family member's communication records, and used the same method to switch the hacker's identity and eavesdrop.

Originally, he was only monitoring one person, but now he was monitoring five people, including the three crackers and two contacts from the Koch family and the Fallor family. However, Neptune only dared to secretly pry into the communication records of the Koch family and the two Fallor family members. As for other information, Neptune did not continue to investigate further because both of them had extremely high clearance. If they were to forcefully break in, Skynet would definitely notice. Although Neptune was powerful, he did not want to provoke someone like Skynet.

The rest of Gu Ding's crew entered Robert's domain and entered a state of cultivation, leaving only Gu Ding and Robert outside.

As for Neptune, he informed Gu Ding and Robert immediately if there was any news. They also reported the day's surveillance results to the Gates family once a day. In reality, it was Robert who did all the work. Gu Ding, on the other hand, seized every minute and second to improve his pharmacologist level.

Another three to four days passed, and Gu Ding finally finished refining all the S-grade conventional medicine in Medicine King Valley. Before he could get certified as a pharmacologist, Neptune urged him to leave the virtual world of Medicine King Valley.

"What happened?" Gu Ding asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's good news." Neptune kept Gu Ding in suspense, then said, "A few days ago, I was worried about how to hack into the wristwatches of the 'boss' and the Fallor family member. So, I talked to Miko about it, and he gave me an idea to guide other Skynet hackers to help me get the information.

"So, in an hour, I forcibly hacked the wristwatches of more than two thousand top hackers in the Cosmic Sea. Then, I disguised the attack addresses as those of the Fallor family and the Koch family. The wristwatches of those two guys were quickly attacked. I took the opportunity to sneak in and replace all the information. He even swaggered around and scanned the area, obtaining quite a few useful things. "

"You guys are so smart!" Gu Ding could not help but praise them.

"I've completely replaced the information of the Gates family that was leaked outside. They don't have to worry anymore." Neptune smiled proudly. "I found out from the wristwatches of those two guys that they only kept one copy of the information to prevent the information from being leaked or the family's spies finding out."

"The identities of these two people are not simple. Since their families chose them to keep the information, they must be higher-ups in their families." Gu Ding guessed.

"That's right. One of them is the former head of the Fallor family, Conrad Fallor, and the other is the current head of the Koch family, Cecil Koch." Neptune's voice sounded like he had succeeded in his conspiracy. "There's one more thing I want to tell you. I transferred the money in one of their family bank accounts to more than a hundred thousand fake accounts and completely erased the transfer records. Unless Skynet does it themselves, no one will be able to find the transfer records. "

"How much money is there?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"If everything is added up, it's an astronomical number. It should be enough to rank 288th on the Cosmic Sea Personal Wealth Leaderboard." Neptune still did not seem satisfied. "Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. Otherwise, I would have robbed more than just one of their accounts. People like them have extremely high authority on their accounts. It would take me a few seconds to crack one. This money is not even one percent of their net worth. "

"Can it be used?" Gu Ding had a strange look on his face when he asked this question. He was a little worried that he could only look at such a large sum of money and not touch it.

"Of course. As long as Skynet doesn't interfere, it can be used continuously. If this money is used to buy cultivation resources, it would be enough to push everyone in the crew to true god-level, and there would still be leftovers. We basically don't have to worry about money anymore. "

"Neptune, you're amazing!" Gu Ding could not help but praise again.

"Hehe, don't forget that I'm also an Interstellar Pirate. This time, I robbed the rich to help the poor. Anyway, these two families are not good people." Neptune laughed. "However, this kind of thing will only happen once. If it happens again, the possibility of Skynet intervening is very high. This is because such a large amount of money will be reported to Skynet by the bank. This is the first time it happened, so Skynet probably won't care too much. She might think it's an occasional malfunction in the bank system. However, if there's a second time, it's very likely that she'll investigate. "

"This money should be enough for a long time. Besides, we're not just spending and not earning. We've always been earning money, so let's talk about the future in the future." Gu Ding grinned.

After telling the Gates family about the destruction of all the information, the Gates family finally felt relieved. The Gates family also treated Gu Ding and his crew with more respect. The Stephens were also very impressed with Gu Ding's abilities. What they did not know was that Neptune was the one who did all this.

Neptune had also obtained some information about the recent projects from Conrad and Cecil's wristwatches. He had also asked Gu Ding to share it with the Gates family.

After the Gates family obtained the information, it was as if they had the help of God in the following negotiations. They managed to clinch three projects with astronomical amounts of money in one go, as well as a few smaller projects.

The Fallor family and the Koch family suspected that the hacking of the wristwatches was orchestrated by the Gates family, but they had no evidence. As for the amount of money that had evaporated from the bank, they also proposed an investigation to the Gates family. Naturally, the Gates family accepted the investigation calmly. In the end, the investigation naturally did not find any problems.

On the other hand, the Fallor family's cracker had also deciphered the file serial number 0009527. It turned out to be a complete video of the former head of the Fallor family, Conrad Fallor, bathing. Moreover, it was a full 3D projection without any codes or dew points.

On the other hand, the Koch family had obtained a video of the head of the family, Cecil Koch, and his secretary having an affair in his office. However, the video was a little short, less than two minutes.

The two families who had obtained the two videos had completely given up. The Gates family's crisis had finally been resolved, and they had gained a lot from it.

Gu Ding and his crew had stayed on Planet Gates for more than ten days, and they were ready to set off again.

As for Faust, he went to look for his father. He hoped that he could leave with Gu Ding and his crew.

In the study, Stephen stared at his son for a long time before saying, "Gu Ding and his crew have indeed helped our family, and it has greatly changed my view of Interstellar Pirates. However, I still find it difficult to approve of you wanting to become an Interstellar Pirate."

"Father, I just feel that everyone's future has many possibilities. My path has always been arranged by you, but now I want to explore other paths. While I'm still young, I want to try out more possibilities, and let my life have more color. "Faust did not back down this time. "Interstellar Pirates may not be a career that suits me, but I still want to give it a try."

"I don't know much about Interstellar Pirates, but I know that it's a career with a high mortality rate. You often encounter all kinds of life-threatening situations, and you're hunted by all kinds of forces. You should have seen the news about Gu Ding and his crew's strength. Their strength is comparable to a Higher Deity's, but they can barely protect themselves. Have you ever considered the possibility that you might fall? Also, with your strength, you'll completely become a burden to their crew. When they encounter a major crisis, you might even get the others killed. "

"I'll become stronger!" Faust had obviously thought about these issues, and his gaze was still determined.

"Stephen, let him go!" Faust's mother suddenly said, "Young people, it's not a big deal to try their luck."

"Why are you …" Stephen looked at his wife in confusion.

"If you don't let him go, he won't be satisfied. Didn't you have a dream of becoming an Interstellar Hunter when you were young? "Faust's mother laughed.

Stephen was a little stunned. After a while, he let out a long sigh. "Alright, I can let you go, but I have a condition …"
