After returning to the room, Fang Yan glanced at the phone and noticed a missed call from an unfamiliar number. He didn't pay too much attention to it; he created a new contact and then threw the phone onto the sofa, ignoring it.
For him, a woman's number didn't interest him at all, and he wasn't interested in dealing with it at the moment.
On the contrary, his immediate concern was solving the first problem he faced - money!
"The specifications of this notebook clearly can't meet my needs for creating Jarvis. If I want to use it to write Jarvis' programs, it will probably take at least a year and a half!"
Creating a super artificial intelligence requires advanced computing power provided by a powerful computer!
It's similar to running software. If the specifications aren't sufficient, the time it takes to load and the work efficiency will be significantly reduced!
To exert enough formidable strength, one must first equip themselves with powerful tools!
"Fortunately, internet security is abysmally low right now, so acquiring money won't be a hassle!"
"Got it!"
Fang Yan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he already had an idea about his first source of income.
He immediately searched for "PUBG Mobile" on Baidu, and over 10 million search results appeared instantly!
"As expected of the hottest national online game, the search volume is unusually high!"
The term "plug-in" came to Fang Yan's mind, thanks to Guo Yurong's mention of it earlier.
Currently, the most popular online game in the entire Eastern Xia was PUBG Mobile, wasn't it?
Fang Yan recalled that PUBG's cheats were notoriously expensive. Even a basic version could cost dozens of dollars per day, while a more advanced version could cost hundreds. For stable usage, players had to pay nearly 9,000 yuan in cheat fees every month!
Such exorbitant costs undoubtedly filled the creators of PUBG Mobile's pockets with money!
However, the cheats they developed were despised by countless players in the game!
This was precisely why Fang Yan decided to target these individuals!
"Hehe... online battles, I'm intrigued!"
Fang Yan selected one of the cheat groups advertised on the online forum and joined it.
After requesting to join the group, Fang Yan directly initiated a private chat with the group owner, expressing his interest in purchasing a cheat.
"What price are you looking for? 100 per day, 200 per day, or 300 per day? If you buy a monthly subscription, I can offer you a discount!"
The group owner promptly replied.
"I'll take the most expensive one!"
"Send the money to me via Alipay, and I'll call you now!"
Fang Yan stated confidently.
"Alright!"
Seeing Fang Yan's enthusiasm, the group owner didn't hesitate. They provided an Alipay account for payment.
Upon seeing the Alipay account, Fang Yan couldn't help but smirk.
"The prey is here!"
Fang Yan refrained from replying and swiftly opened a coding interface!
Yes, he was preparing to crack all the passwords of this series of Alipay accounts!
In truth, Fang Yan was fully capable of infiltrating the Alipay system and transferring money without leaving a trace... However, he understood that such actions could cause severe consequences. He didn't want to tarnish the reputation of such a beneficial product as Alipay due to his greed.
So, he decided to focus on a single target and take money only from one account!
Especially from individuals who engaged in illegal activities, walked the fine line between legality and immorality, and profited off the gray area while harming others' gaming experiences – they were Fang Yan's prime choice for his initial earnings!
"Success!"
In less than three minutes, Fang Yan effortlessly cracked the Alipay account provided by the cheat developer.
"Only just under 100,000 yuan?"
However, it appeared they were quite cautious. To avoid potential issues, they hadn't used a single Alipay account, resulting in only 98,000 yuan being present.
"Looks like I'll need to put in a bit more effort!"
While 98,000 yuan might seem like a substantial amount to the average person, for Fang Yan, who was once the ruler of the Earth and the wealthiest person globally, it was barely enough for a single meal!
Fang Yan began another infiltration, this time targeting the communication device the individual frequently used to access this Alipay account – their mobile phone.
Once he successfully cracked the frequently used mobile phone, Fang Yan swiftly acquired the login traces for other Alipay accounts saved on the device.
Using these traces, Fang Yan embarked on a systematic and legal approach to cracking into the accounts.
From Alipay to the associated bank cards, and further to uncover other financial products or accounts holding funds – during this process, Fang Yan managed to unearth nearly every detail about the cheat developer. He learned their true name, appearance, age, current address, and more!
It's highly likely that the cheat creator never anticipated that by simply providing an account, they would inadvertently expose themselves to such an extent!
After half an hour of meticulous work, Fang Yan remarked, "Not bad!"
"2.8 million yuan, this suits my appetite just fine!"
Fang Yan tallied up the total amount across all the cracked accounts and nodded with satisfaction.
For someone currently devoid of funds, 2.8 million yuan was an unimaginable windfall. Many ordinary individuals struggled to accumulate such wealth over their entire lifetimes!
This is the power of technology!
Once you master technology, acquiring 2.8 million yuan becomes as effortless as finding change in your pocket – nowhere to hide, and no defense against it!
"Group owner, thank you for your generous contribution. Remember, if you ever dare to resume selling these cheats, I'll be back!"
Fang Yan responded.
"Are you crazy?"
Following this statement, the cheat developer swiftly blocked Fang Yan.
"People these days are so absurdly deluded!"
On the other side of the computer screen, the cheat developer sat within a smoky room surrounded by computers, puffing on a cigarette, and spoke with a sneer.
"What happened?"
A friend inquired.
"Some idiot just warned me that if I continue selling cheats, they'll come back for me... I don't even understand what that guy is blabbering about! What an imbecile!"
The cheat developer scoffed.
Ding!
Suddenly, his smartphone on the desk chimed, indicating a new message had arrived.
He glanced at it casually, and that single look caused him to leap from his chair!
"What the heck!"
