"Do you have a hacker?"

Hearing Jack say this, Yun You's eyes lit up instantly, but she still asked cautiously, "Wouldn't it be a newbie who just entered the profession?"

"This mission is very difficult, can't bring just anyone..."

"Oh, don't worry about that."

Jack waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "The person I recommend is definitely reliable... it's just that his personality is a bit strange, very cold."

"That's not a problem, as long as he has real skills."

Yun You didn't mind, shrugged and said, "Geniuses always have some quirks, that's normal... anyway, you contact him first and see if he's planning for a mission."

"Alright, sure."

Jack agreed with a smile and then made a phone call.

A few minutes later, the hacker he mentioned arrived at the private room in the bar.

"Jack, I've told you many times, don't disturb me when I'm hacking gambling sites."

"Now it's great, you call, and my week's pocket money is gone."

The hacker's calm yet slightly dissatisfied voice appeared at the doorway.

Yun You only felt that the voice was a bit familiar, as if she had just heard it somewhere.

So, she lowered her head, following the sound to look.

Immediately, a little guy half a head shorter than her appeared in front of her.

The newcomer was a dusky gray teenager, wearing an oversized white jacket that didn't fit his physique, with a hood and big headphones, hanging various electronic devices around his waist and chest that even Yun You couldn't recognize, with an antenna on his temple...

It was clear he wanted to appear mature, hence the professional outfit.

But his youthful face wrapped in bandages, and a physique even smaller than Yun You, couldn't shake off that air of naivety no matter how he dressed.

Seeing the white cowlick on his head, Yun You was first confused, then immediately remembered the boy's name.

This kid, wasn't he just the one who greeted her on the street — Frost Moon?

Back then, Yun You thought this kid seemed a bit unusual, but she didn't expect he was a hacker.

Frost Moon obviously recognized Yun You too, was equally surprised, but then regained composure and nodded slightly to the girl.

"We've met again, big sister."

"Looks like, we indeed have a bit of fate."

Yun You lightly nodded and placed a glass of orange juice on the table, signaling Frost Moon to sit.

"You know each other?"

Jack was somewhat surprised.

"Just happened to meet once."

Yun You shook her head calmly.

"Oh..."

Jack realized, then said, "Let me introduce him to you."

"Frost Moon, a seasoned hacker, has rich hacking experience, can complete tasks like 'electromagnetic interference', 'prosthetic body invasion', 'network hacking', 'paralyzing mechanical equipment' with just a laptop."

"Don't be fooled by his age, only 12, but his hacking career spans over 4 years, with achievements that are quite remarkable. Today hacking into big corporation networks, tomorrow daring to change government website logos into turtles."

Speaking of which, Jack didn't forget to pour some juice for Frost Moon, taking away the liquor he intended to sample amidst Frost Moon's complaining look.

"All in all, as a hacker, this kid is definitely more reliable than most people you find online."

Hearing Jack praise Frost Moon like this, Yun You silently shook her finger, indicating "Talk is cheap, show me some real skill."

Seeing this, Frost Moon immediately understood Yun You's intention.

After thinking for a while, he took out a tablet from his pocket, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Yun You.

The screen showed a live broadcast of a news program known for its "serious realism", with the host in a suit, pretentiously reporting on news of "a wealthy person doing good deeds and donating."

"This is..."

Yun You frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

She was about to ask what Frost Moon was doing, but the next moment, the boy snapped his fingers in front of her.

"Snap—"

And then...

The same "snap" sound, but it didn't appear in Frost Moon's hands, rather in the tablet... more accurately, in the news studio on the other end of the screen.

The curtain behind the host suddenly flicked.

Followed by the disappearance of the "wealthy doing charity" footage, replaced by undisclosed private photos appearing out of nowhere, upon closer inspection, all were pictures of the philanthropist displaying "kindness" and "loyalty", entwined with various women...

Meanwhile, the images were accompanied by a red middle finger, alongside "Joyful Song", a track with comedic effect, seemingly mocking the so-called "real" news program.

Seeing this, the host panicked instantly, hastily trying to interrupt the broadcast, even the surrounding staff rushed over intending to shut down the screen.

But no matter how they tried, they couldn't cut off the live broadcast.

Finally, the frustrated program director resorted to grabbing a fire extinguisher, using the most primitive method, smashing the pricey screen to halt the footage.

But the shocking scandal lasting three minutes had already been captured, nailing them to the pillar of shame in the news industry.

And all of this was completed by Frost Moon, far away, using the Hacker Chip in his head within just tens of seconds.

Yun You had previously heard Old Jin say that although hackers often don't possess combat capabilities, in this city filled with electronic information, hackers swimming amidst data can become another level of "God among men".

Remote destruction, information gathering, electronic warfare...

Hackers, never to be underestimated.

Yun You immediately agreed to let Frost Moon join and was willing to provide him with the same contract as Jack.

What the girl didn't expect was, Frost Moon didn't want money but instead made another strange request.

He wanted a technology chip, and it must be a "special" chip, not the common goods on the streets.

This puzzled Yun You a bit.

But quickly, she thought of an item.

The Information Reconnaissance Chip she bought from Yuanbao.

She only paid 75,000 Silver Cannon for this thing; if it could offset 200,000 employment fees, that'd be great.

But when she took out the chip and handed it to Frost Moon, the latter was startled and then dumbfounded, refusing.

"What, don't think it's good enough?"

Yun You held the chip, puzzled.

"No... no... it's not that..."

Frost Moon's voice suddenly became stammering.

"It's just that the chip's gold content is really high, and it's even a prototype, I... I can't accept it."

"My employment fee doesn't nearly cover this chip; if I did accept it, the chip's owner would definitely trouble me..."

Despite saying this, from the yearning tone, Yun You could see the chip's attraction was extremely strong for Frost Moon.

"So... how about this..."

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke carefully, "I won't ask for any employment fees, this time it's fine for free, as long as after the mission you let me study the chip... half an hour will do!"

"If you think that's too much, I can lower it some more... only a quarter of an hour... no, just ten minutes of research time will do!"
