After hearing SHADOW's words, the hand that was filling out the check trembled, and he looked at SHADOW sitting opposite him as if he were an alien.
Putting down the ballpoint pen in his hand, he pushed up the pair of severe myopia glasses that slid down on the bridge of his nose, looked at SHADOW, and chuckled: "Mr. Martin, are you kidding me? A set of codes, and it still doesn't
Don’t you think it’s too much to ask for NT$500,000 for the complete code? I am also a coder myself, so I know a lot about this market. I would like to pay you NT$500,000 to acquire this set of codes in your hand.
It's a very high price. It seems that Mr. Martin is not as sincere as I thought to complete this transaction. In this case, goodbye."
"Don't be anxious." SHADOW pressed his hand to stop him from leaving, and said, "If I wasn't sincere, I wouldn't come all the way here to meet you."
SHADOW picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon. He looked up at the man with an angry look on his face and said: "You are right, but the price you said is only for
Ordinary code, what if the code in my hand comes from the NSA’s hacker virus laboratory?”
"EG?"
There was no longer an angry look on his face, but instead it became a little solemn. The "Equation Group" (EG) under the NSA is very famous in the hacker community. Several of the world's most destructive computer viruses are all related to EG.
There is a connection, and there are even rumors that these viruses were developed by EG and put into the network for testing.
I have also heard about EG’s hacker virus laboratory. There are massive computer virus codes there, some have been completed, some have not yet been completed, some are variants of known computer viruses, and some are unknown computers in the world.
Viruses are a huge treasure house for every hacker, but because EG is affiliated with the NSA, no one dares to pluck the tiger's hair.
Sitting on the chair, he was silent for a long time. He didn't even notice when the waiter brought the coffee. It wasn't until the pair of myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose almost slipped off again that he pushed up his glasses and looked up at SHADOW, seriously.
asked: "Mr. Martin, are you telling the truth?"
Pointing to the USB flash drive SHADOW placed on the table, he asked: "Are the things here really from EG's hacker virus laboratory?"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake!
SHADOW seemed very confident. He was very confident from the beginning, as if he was sure that he would buy the code in his hand.
Pushing up his glasses, he looked at the USB flash drive that SHADOW placed on the table. To be honest, he was already excited. If the contents of the USB flash drive were really obtained from the EG hacker virus laboratory, then the value of it would be indescribable.
Yu Li, I have even begun to imagine what it would be like to rely on this set of codes to once again become the "computer genius" who is looked up to by countless people.
After hesitating for a while, he said to SHADOW: "I don't have that much right to use such a large amount of funds. I need to ask the company for instructions and get their consent."
"I understand, I can give you time, but not too much time." SHADOW spread his hands and said: "You also know that people like me will not stay in one place for a long time, because then I will
It’s very troublesome, I don’t want the police to come to my door.”
"I know, I used to do this. If I hadn't been protected back then, I might have been arrested and imprisoned." He said to SHADOW with some embarrassment: "Although I am willing to believe you personally, you also know that you have to
It is not easy to convince the people in the company. Just relying on my words, no matter how extravagant my words are, they may not believe them, so..."
"So, you want me to give you the code and let you take it back to the company?" SHADOW asked with a sidelong glance.
After swallowing a sip of saliva, he finally nodded and said, "I know this may make it difficult for you, but I hope you can understand. If you are worried, I can pay you NT$500,000 as a deposit.
If that set of codes is as magical as you say, I will immediately ask the company to settle the balance for you. Five hundred thousand NT dollars is the maximum amount of funds I can use."
SHADOW picked up the U disk on the table, threw it to it, and said: "I have set up this U disk so that you can have access once, and then it will be locked and require my password to open it again. Don't try to copy the contents.
If you do this, the code will start the deletion program and format the USB flash drive. In the end, you will get nothing after spending NT$500,000."
"Thank you for your understanding." He took the USB flash drive, put it away carefully, picked up the cup of cold coffee on the table, drank it in one gulp, then stood up and said goodbye to SHADOW.
SHADOW watched him leave, then took out a few banknotes from his wallet and placed them on the table, pressed them with a glass of water, put away his laptop, stood up and left. As for the tissue paper with the waitress's phone number written on it, SHADOW still kept it on the table.
Above, from the very beginning, SHADOW never looked at the tissue. It wasn’t that he didn’t know, but that he wasn’t interested.
…
After getting the USB flash drive, I hailed a taxi, reported the address of the company building, and headed straight to the company building.
I returned to the company, took the elevator to the top floor, pushed the door and entered the general manager's office. When I entered the office, the manager's dirty hand was placed on the butt of the young female secretary. When he saw it, the manager immediately took his hand back, and then faced
The young female secretary waved her hand and signaled her to leave first.
The manager stared with a look on his face and asked, "Did you bring the things back?"
Put the USB flash drive on the manager's desk and said: "Mr. Martin is not satisfied with our price. He needs half a million dollars before he is willing to trade this set of codes."
"Half a million dollars!?" The manager jumped up from his chair, his eyes widened, and he wanted to stare him to death, and said: "Half a million dollars, just such a set of codes, he wants half a million dollars, how can he?"
Why don’t you just go rob the bank?!”
"Mr. Martin said that this set of code comes from the hacker virus laboratory of the 'Equation Group' affiliated to the NSA, and has never appeared before." He pushed up his glasses and explained: "The stuff coming out of the EG hacker virus laboratory is indeed
At this price, if it were sold on the black market, the price would only be higher than the price offered by Mr. Martin."
"But how can we prove that Mr. Martin is not making up lies and deceiving us?" The manager frowned and asked doubtfully.
