The first rays of the morning sun were faintly discernible. A ray of white gradually penetrated the dawn, ushering in the dawn of a new day.
At this time, in the inner ring of Shangdu, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, faint snoring could be heard coming from a three-hundred-square-meter mansion.
The room was decorated in a classical European style, but the messy clothes, scattered beer bottles, overturned trash cans, and ashtrays in the room all spoke of the owner's sloppiness.
On a luxurious bed in Paris, a mature man in his thirties was snoring away.
The man's face still retained the heroic spirit of his youth, but under the pressure of putting on weight in his mid-life crisis, this heroic spirit was almost completely gone.
In modern internet terms, it would be more accurate to say 'greasy'.
The man's name was Zhan Fei. Seven or eight years ago, he made his fortune through YY. Four years ago, he established his own guild and signed hundreds of live streamers. Now, he mainly relied on live streaming to make a fortune.
However, this was only his public identity.
Secretly, Zhan Fei was also a hacker. In his early years, he dropped out of school because he heard that there was a future in the computer industry, so he learned computer programming. Later, he became obsessed with the unfettered freedom of the internet.
Back then, when he was young, Zhan Fei first came into contact with the dark web and fell headfirst into the most evil and forbidden areas of the internet that even the law could not control.
Gradually, Zhan Fei became skilled in hacking, cracking, compiling, decompiling, and so on. In 2016, he even wrote an extremely lethal worm virus and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Until today, he was still lurking in the shadows of the internet. He was like a killer, and no one in the whole world knew his true identity.
However, this was completely broken today.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
Zhan Fei, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by the strange sound of an alarm.
It was a clear sound similar to that of a music box. The entire song only had a crisp melody, but there was no accompaniment or harmony. The entire style of the song was calm and pure.
However, for someone who was woken up in the middle of a sleep, even the most beautiful melody was considered a type of noise.
"Damn it …"
Zhan Fei muttered in a low voice. He grabbed the phone beside his bed and was stunned.
The moment he turned on his phone, the ringtone disappeared.
On his phone, there was a notification that he had received an anonymous email.
Although Zhan Fei was nearing middle age, he was still very alert due to his years of wandering in the dark. When he saw this scene, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
This was because he had never set an alarm for 7 o 'clock in the morning, nor had he set such a ringtone that he had never heard before.
Moreover, this email was the one used by his Dark Web identity. There were no more than ten people in this world who knew about this email account.
"Is the phone infected?"
Zhan Fei frowned. Relying on the vigilance of a hacker, he did not open the email. Instead, he got up with a grunt and walked to the computer with his phone.
Zhan Fei found a USB cable and connected his computer to his phone. Then, he downloaded the compressed file on his impenetrable computer.
At the same time, he opened the Android emulator and prepared to open this unknown email on his computer.
After he unzipped it, he discovered that there were three software installation packages inside.
"Little X translation assistant? What the hell is this? "
Zhan Fei was a little stunned. He looked at the introduction below. "Software that can translate foreign web pages? What does that have to do with me? "
However, considering that it was something sent from the Dark Web, Zhan Fei still installed the installation package on the Android emulator after making all the necessary preparations.
The overall icon of this program was in the form of a cartoon. It was basically a big X with two eyes on it, just like a cartoon.
Zhan Fei double-clicked the icon. Instantly, the entire screen of the emulator was covered by a transparent film. At the same time, a window popped up.
"Chinese language system detected. Do you want to automatically translate all foreign languages into Chinese?"
Zhan Fei thought about it and clicked "Yes".
After that, there was nothing else.
It seemed that the software was already running automatically in the background. Other than that, nothing had changed.
"That's it?"
Zhan Fei was stunned. He looked at the bottom right corner in disbelief. There was no pop-up saying that an unknown virus had been detected. This installation package seemed to be clean and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, Zhan Fei quickly recovered. He thought about it and tried to open a foreign web page. However, the moment he opened it, he realized that these so-called foreign web pages were all in Chinese?
"I haven't seen them for a while. This website has also developed a Chinese language system?"
Zhan Fei was a little puzzled, but he still logged out and opened another well-known foreign web page.
However, what surprised Zhan Fei was that the web page of that website was still written in Chinese.
"This..."
At this point, Zhan Fei finally noticed that something was wrong.
"That's impossible. How can a piece of software change a web page?"
After thinking about it, Zhan Fei quickly shook his head. "No, it didn't change the web page. It changed the web page I opened?"
Thinking of this, Zhan Fei brought up the system settings on the emulator and forcibly stopped the program process of Little X Translation Assistant. Then, he opened that foreign web page again.
Sure enough, the English was still English. This website did not have a Chinese page for users in the Mainland.
"That's true!"
At this point, Zhan Fei finally understood. However, he frowned again and immediately opened the search tool to search for "Little X Translation Assistant".
There was nothing on the Internet.
"So, this is an application that hasn't been officially released yet?"
At this point, Zhan Fei finally understood a little.
He could not help but feel a little excited. Although he was not familiar with the translation market, he knew that even Baidu Translation could not translate English-Chinese so perfectly.
This technology definitely far surpassed all the translation software on the market.
"But why send it to me?"
"Ding ding ding..."
However, before he could finish, Zhan Fei's phone suddenly rang again.
This time was different from the previous one. It was an unknown caller.
Yes, there was no number on the call, only the words "Unknown Caller" were displayed.
Zhan Fei was silent for a moment. This situation had occurred because the nearby base station had been hacked by the other party.
It was obvious that the sender of this email had begun contacting him.
Thinking of this, although Zhan Fei was a little flustered, he immediately restrained himself. As a hacker, the most important thing was to maintain calm.
If he could not even maintain his calm, then he could not be a hacker.
Moreover, the other party had expended so much effort just to show off and send him to jail?
The probability of this happening was very small. The other party probably had something on him and wanted to use it to blackmail him.
Although he was in the open now and the other party was in the dark, once the two of them established contact, he might have a chance to kill them.
Thinking of this, Zhan Fei made up his mind. He picked up his hand and gently accepted the call.
The moment the call was connected, a childish voice suddenly sounded from the phone.
