Wenbai Studio.

Outside the window, the rain grew fierce, large raindrops hitting the tightly closed window like bullets, creating a ‘bang bang bang’ sound. A layer of mist quickly collected on the windowpane, blurring the view outside.

Hoo, hoo, hoo.

Bursts of strong wind swept by, water on the window forming interlacing streams. From the inside looking out, it resembled the scenery of a Water Curtain Cave.

Lin Chuan sat at his desk, listening to the sounds of wind, rain, water streams, and the occasional thunder outside, as if he was listening to a magnificent war concerto.

“Here’s your pearl milk tea.”

Youyou walked over to Lin Chuan and handed him a cup of milk tea.

Lin Chuan took it, smiling, “Thanks for the milk tea, Editor-in-Chief.”

“Flatterer.”

A bright smile emerged on Youyou’s face. She then opened her phone, scrolled through Quick Shake videos, and with another smile said, “It’s only been ten minutes, and our video already has 50,000 views, so fast!”

Lin Chuan sipped his milk tea and smiled, “Of course it’s fast, we went straight to the homepage’s trending section.”

Youyou smiled easily too, batting her eyes at Lin Chuan, “With skills like these, I suddenly feel it’s such a waste for you to be writing novels.”

Yeah, what web novel writer is this versatile?

“This is my old profession; I can’t forget where I started!”

Lin Chuan smiled and said, “Besides, if I don’t write novels, where would your achievements come from? Don’t you want to be the editor-in-chief?”

“Editor-in-chief… Of course I do.”

Youyou said with pursed lips and a smile.

“When I acquire Sailing Novel, I’ll let you be the chief editor,” Lin Chuan said half-jokingly.

“Then my career’s soaring depends on you,” Youyou said with a laugh.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then denied his previous idea, “No, you can’t be the chief editor.”

“Ah?”

Youyou pursed her lips, looking somewhat aggrieved as she said, “Why can’t I be the chief editor?”

“You should be the CEO!”

“CEO, I’m afraid I might run Sailing Novel into the ground,” Youyou joked with a smile.

“No problem, if it collapses, it collapses, I was just talking big anyway.”

Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

Compared to the tension and solemnity of the Ancient Moon Museum, the atmosphere inside Wenbai Studio was much lighter.

After all, Lin Chuan was now lying in wait, holding the upper hand, playing the role of the hunter.

“There’s movement.”

A popup appeared on the laptop on the work desk.

–– A foreign IP is attempting to intrude.

Lin Chuan put down his milk tea, his thoughts returning to the battlefield.

Youyou silently moved Lin Chuan’s milk tea further away, then quietly watched from the side.

As Lin Chuan’s editor, she had seriously read his “Hacker Kingdom” and had a basic understanding of cyber defense, so she was also curious if Lin Chuan’s hacking skills were really as miraculous as described in his book.

“Bro, I’m fired up!”

Old Bai rushed over from his computer desk, his eyes shining as he said.

“Fired up about what?”

Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback, but his hands continued their work, fingers flying over the keyboard at a blistering pace. The computer screen displayed lines of code that seemed indecipherable to the uninitiated.

At the same time, several software windows opened, and Lin Chuan’s operations left Youyou beside him confused.

“The cyber warfare described in the Hacker Network!” Old Bai said excitedly, “I never thought I’d witness it in real life. I’m already feeling pumped!”

Lin Chuan’s fingers moved quickly, initiating multiple program commands at once. A moment later, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, “Old Bai, stop getting excited, it’s already over.”

“Ah?”

Old Bai was instantly surprised, a puzzled look on his face, “It ended just as we started talking?”

“The other side was trying to breach my firewall. Defending against it was naturally simple,” Lin Chuan said with a lifted eyebrow and a smile.

“I thought it was going to be a back-and-forth battle. I didn’t expect them to be so weak,” Old Bai said with a pout.

“They aren’t weak; the intrusion method was very sophisticated. Let me just locate their network IP address,” Lin Chuan began to track the adversary’s network IP address.

This could very likely be related to the Antique Forgery Gang.

“Who’s on the other side?”

Old Bai asked curiously.

It wasn’t long before Lin Chuan locked onto the adversary’s network IP address, his brow furrowing slightly, “Them?”

“Who is it?”

Youyou’s eyebrows knitted together.

“An old rival, another hacker organization, AW,” Lin Chuan glanced at the string of network IP addresses with a slight frown.

“Are they the ones behind the scenes?” Youyou couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Chuan shook his head and explained, “Probably not, more likely they are the guys hired by the Antique Forgery Gang.”

“Can we use this to track down the Antique Forgery Gang?” Youyou quickly asked.

“It’s difficult.”

Lin Chuan smiled, “Not knowing their exact connection to the Antique Forgery Gang, it’s hard to trace the gang’s whereabouts, but…”

“But what?”

Youyou and Old Bai both had intense expressions.

Lin Chuan’s gaze fell on the thin-walled jade vase nearby, then he smiled, “But, the fact that the Antique Forgery Gang has started asking AW’s hackers to attack us means they are panicking. AW’s hackers can’t breach my defenses, so soon they will contact us themselves. At that time, it will be our opportunity.”

Youyou and Old Bai had a moment of realization.

Just as Lin Chuan expected.

Within a short two minutes, a private message popped up on the Quick Shake video account on the laptop: “Think about what you want.”

The nickname of the sender was a combination of initial letters and numbers.
