Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 289
Chapter 289: 134, Treasure chest opened! Even the world’s number one hacker is shocked! _8
This is too terrifying.
If Dark hadn’t known that Lin Mo’s hacking skills were mediocre, he might even have suspected that the other party was the world’s number one hacker.
[I’m sorry to have bothered you, I just wanted to express my admiration for you,] Lin Mo said in a very calm tone, continuing, [However, I advise you not to be too curious about me, it could affect our friendship.]
Dark was equally nonchalant, [Of course, I have no interest in becoming enemies with someone like you, especially since I don’t have much longer to live. I just want to leave behind one last outstanding work in this world. Since that’s the case, please send me the coordinates of the treasure, and I will arrange for someone to retrieve it.]
Lin Mo agreed, [No problem, I’ll send you the detailed coordinates later. Also, ten percent of the transaction amount will be yours.]
[Abyss, you’re too polite, but no need, I’m not interested in money. I don’t lack money either. Consider that ten percent personal assistance from me to you.]
[Thank you.]
Lin Mo was not surprised by Dark’s response, as the Intelligence System had indicated that Dark was a man of justice who regarded money as mere dung.
After hanging up the video call, Lin Mo immediately sent his location to Dark, then put away his phone, opened the car door, and went to sit by the bonfire on the beach.
Zhang Li passed him a bottle of beer.
Lin Mo waved his hand, “No more for me. My alcohol tolerance is actually quite average; drinking too much could interfere with business.”
“Tai just said he would send someone to pick up the goods.”
Zhang Li nodded, “The batch of treasures can be sold?”
“Yeah.”
Lin Mo nodded.
Zhang Li couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Bro, can you tell me about this Tai?”
“Knowing those things would be of no benefit to you.” Lin Mo rejected the question very straightforwardly.
Tai didn’t even exist in the first place; the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
“Well, then I won’t ask,” Zhang Li was tactful and didn’t press further.
After a silence, Lin Mo sat down and initiated, “Actually, I’m quite interested in knowing about your previous life and why you fell for my little sister.”
“Of course, if you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.”
“Actually… it’s not complicated…” Zhang Li scratched his head a bit awkwardly, and said embarrassedly, “You know, brother, I’m an orphan and always lived on my own. That year, the army was recruiting, and our village was short one person. The village chief took care of me and reported my name. So I sort of stumbled into being a soldier.”
“I started as a motorized infantryman, on patrol at the border. Every day was trudging through icy rivers, climbing over snow mountains, crossing the Gobi. Sometimes, when the vehicles got stuck, we couldn’t wait for rescue for a whole day and night….”
“The most ridiculous time, the vehicle got so deeply mired, we really had no choice but to dismantle the truck right there, and then reassemble it nearby. It took us almost half a month to sort it out.”
“After I was discharged, I thought about finding a job to earn some money and keep myself busy, and that’s when I met Siyu.”
“I don’t really know why I liked her, just that when I first started, I didn’t understand anything, and then she took good care of me. Although she’s younger than me, she was like an older sister.”
An older sister?
Lin Mo was taken aback.
Zhang Li’s face flushed instantly as he hurriedly explained, “No, brother, it’s not what you’re thinking. I just felt like…”
Knowing that Zhang Li wasn’t good with words, Lin Mo didn’t tease him further: “Haha, no need to explain. Alright, it’s getting late, you go get some sleep, and then come take over for me in the second half of the night.”
“This place is pretty safe, but with so much stuff here, I don’t feel comfortable without someone watching over it.”
With a heap of invaluable items in the warehouse, even if the location was safe, it was natural to feel a little anxious.
“Why don’t I just keep watch?”
“Cut the chatter.”
“Fine, I’ll come to relieve you at three.”
“No rush, this isn’t the army. Whenever you wake up is fine, come over. By the time you get here, the person Tai arranged could already be here.”
“Got it, I understand.”
Watching Zhang Li enter the factory, Lin Mo was left alone on the beach.
He had wanted to call his wife and chat for a bit, but it was too late, and he didn’t want to disturb their rest, so he ultimately gave up.
“I’ll continue to gather information on the stock market and funds!”
“To earn big money quickly and without leaving a trace, this is probably the fastest way.”
“With a few good pieces of intel, maybe I could become someone like Buffett, charging millions just to have a meal with someone.”
Lin Mo opened TikTok and found some livestreams explaining the basics of stocks and funds, then listened attentively to the streamers.
Going long, going short, building positions, liquidating positions, being fully invested, being in cash, lightening up, doubling down, washing out for delivery, crashing, getting trapped, getting out of a trap, market collapse….
The professional terms spewed out of the streamer’s mouths, and Lin Mo felt almost dizzy but still couldn’t quite grasp it.
He had no choice,
but to give up on the livestream and instead found a couple of long explainer videos on the basics of stocks on Bilibili to watch.
On one hand, it was about learning new skills, and on the other, maybe he could also gather some relevant information.
Time passed by slowly.
In the blink of an eye, it was past three in the morning, and a bleary-eyed Zhang Li came out of the factory.
“Ah…” He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said to Lin Mo, who was still on his phone, “Bro, you should head off to sleep. I’ve got it from here.”
