Chapter 432 The past (two in one)

One year ago, Flushing, New York——

In early April, Stark Industries suddenly announced that it would restart the Stark Expo, and planned to reveal a series of new layouts for Stark Industries in the new energy field at the expo.

As soon as this news came out, it quickly caused a huge sensation on the Internet.

The first to bear the brunt is a large number of energy companies led by Rocks Petroleum Company.

According to the reliable information currently exposed by Stark about the development of new energy technologies, cleaner and cheaper renewable energy may erode the energy market of coastal cities around the world in a large area in the future.

As a leader who has led the entire oil and natural gas energy field for several years, Rocks Corporation naturally does not want to see the energy cake it has exploited over the years be so easily eaten by Stark Corporation!
Therefore, they united with several other energy giants to plan a wave of resource restrictions specifically targeting Stark Technology's energy technology.

But Stark seems to have been on guard for a long time. It has easily circumvented the restrictions of these energy companies through resource transfer, and took the opportunity to make a lot of money from the Eastern markets that these energy companies have not been able to reach.

In addition, Tony Stark was officially announced as the superhero "Iron Man" a few months ago.

As a result, the Stark Industries stock market, which was on the verge of collapse, completely came back to life, and once broke the stock's highest trading record!
Instead of collapsing due to abandoning the arms market, Stark Industries once again became the largest super technology industrial group in the United States!

“This feeling of having money in your pocket without having to do anything is really not bad~”

Sitting in his van, Skye took a bite of the meat dog he had just bought outside. He looked at the changing numbers on the computer screen with a bright smile on his face.

"No wonder those financial guys on the dark web like to play stocks so much. The speed of making money is indeed faster than that of the black system!"

After devouring the meat dog in three mouthfuls, Skye muttered to himself as he cut out the darknet and sent a thank you to the guy who provided him with the gossip.

"You are really right. All these stocks have fallen, and I have made a huge profit! Next time something good happens like this, please tell me in advance. The commission is easy to negotiate!"

The person on the other side quickly replied OK. Seeing this, Skye lay down on the simple bed in the carriage with satisfaction. She pressed the player next to her and listened comfortably to the new song that had become popular recently.

"The money I earned this time is enough for me to enjoy myself for a while. Where should I go next?"

Skye turned his head and glanced at the map on the car window. He had already searched the New York City area, but couldn't find any useful clues. It seemed like it was time to consider exploring another city.

"How about going to Washington?"

Thinking of this, Skye planned to buy a map of Washington later and then plan her next trip.

However, at this moment, a new message notification suddenly sounded on his laptop.

"jingle!"

Skye quickly turned over and climbed out of bed, not caring about the messy clothes on her body. She quickly sat in front of the computer and clicked on the flashing window reminder at the bottom of the screen.

"I just have a new job here, which happens to be a project you are good at. How about it? Are you interested?"

Still the friend just now, Skye was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

What projects am I good at?Network intrusion?Isn't he in finance?Why are you interested in this kind of work?

Skye was a little suspicious, but out of trust in this guy to help him make money, he still planned to believe it first.

If not, why don’t you wait until you hear it before questioning?
"What kind of job? Send it here for a look."

However, after a brief silence, the other party just sent the darknet contact information to Skye.

"I'm not sure what kind of job it is. This guy suddenly came to me today. He only asked for a few requirements, but the reward was quite exaggerated!"

"any request?"

"The requirement is that I need to hack into a company's server intranet, but I didn't specify which company it is, but the reward is enough to reach 100 million U.S. dollars! If I weren't good at this, I would have tried it myself. ”

"Huh? Are you kidding? One million?"

"How could I joke about something like this? That's $1000000!"

Skye repeatedly counted the string of numbers on the screen several times and confirmed that it was indeed 100 million US dollars, and then she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Is this person trustworthy?"

Skye frowned and searched the dark web, but there seemed to be no gossip about related projects.

"I don't know either. This person is mysterious. He has no clues except his nickname. His IP address has also been encrypted. With my ability, I can't find him at all."

"What do those guys think?"

"I haven't asked them yet. Why don't you ask me here? I just wanted to ask your opinion."

"Those guys don't know yet?"

Seeing this, Skye became even more suspicious.

The guys she was talking about were referring to several other guys on the dark web who were as good at hacking as she was.

Skye has a normal relationship with them and has never met them. They just often bump into each other in some projects and have frequent encounters.

Seemingly because Skye had not responded to the message, the other party sent another inquiry.

"How about it, will you take this job?"

"Well, I can try, but with such a high price, the other party won't want to invade the Pentagon, right?"

Skye was a little moved, but to be on the safe side, she planned to find out first before speaking.

"Probably not, but with your technology, it wouldn't be difficult to invade the Pentagon, right?"

"That's what I said, but I don't want to get entangled with those guys. The big commotion caused by POP last time has not subsided yet."

POP is one of those hackers who is on par with Skye, and his darknet nickname is POP.

"That's right. Not being able to spend the money you make is also a problem."

"Well, anyway, let me ask first. If it's not reliable, forget it. Don't tell anyone else. If it doesn't work for me, you can ask POP and them."

"OK!"

More than 10 minutes later, with the introduction of the guy opposite, Skye successfully contacted this special employer "Z".

Sky: "Jungo should have told you about my level. How are you going to do this job?"

Z: "Well, you are one of the top hackers on the dark web. I have heard about your level. I didn't expect Jungo to actually be able to contact you."

Jungo is the guy who just introduced Skye to this job, but looking at what this guy means now, the other party is actually asking Jungo to help him contact people?

Skye frowned, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon on the dark web. Anyone who knows it will understand it if they are introduced by acquaintances.

Sky: "If the price is 100 million, you don't want to invade the CIA or the Pentagon, right? I've agreed in advance that I don't understand this kind of work."

Z: "Of course not. I want to find someone to help invade Hammer Industries."

"Hammer Industries?"

Skye was stunned for a moment, isn't this an arms company?Since Stark Industries announced its withdrawal from the arms market last year, Hammer Industries has seized Stark Industries' previous arms supply orders at an extremely fast speed, and now has the momentum to become the largest arms industry giant in the United States.

"Is this guy from Stark Industries?"

The more Skye thought about it, the more it seemed possible. After all, as an old enemy, it was no secret that Tony Stark couldn't stand Justin Hammer.

However, she was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. This was the rule of the dark web, and also to avoid causing trouble for herself.

Sky: "What are you going to ask me to find?"

Z: "An encrypted information about the 'Iron Soldier'."

Skye was stunned. The word "Iron Soldier" reminded her of the superhero who was popular in the news recently.

That is the famous "Iron Man" Tony Stark.

This sentence revealed too much information, which made her a little confused for a while.

"Hammer Industries is developing Iron Soldier? Does anyone want to obtain that information?"

At this moment, the other party suddenly sent Skye a specially encrypted video file.

Z: "I need your help to find all the information about it."

Video encryption was not a problem for Skye. He completed the decoding in three clicks and then played the video.

The picture seems to be in an experimental base somewhere. A man in a suit and leather shoes is yelling at several scientific researchers:

"Give you two months, I want to see its test machine! The kind that can move! Not this kind of display that can only be used for viewing!"

That man Skye remembered correctly was the boss of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer.

In the center of the screen is a steel armor that looks very similar to "Iron Man".

It's just that the armor looks extremely simple, and seems to be based on the large mecha that was reported in the news earlier and fought against Iron Man.

Sky: "Where did you get this video?"

Z: "The military's database. Hammer Industries seems to have reached some kind of cooperation with the military."

Sky: "Huh? Military? Then you have this ability, why do you still need help?"

Skye was a little confused. Since the other party could get this video data from the military, then the other party's hacker skills should be good, so why should he ask for help? He couldn't do it himself?
Z: "My skills are not good enough. After I found this information, I was targeted. I had to find someone else to do this."

This reason seemed to make sense, but Skye felt that the truth was definitely not that simple, and the other party must be hiding something else.

Sky: "I have to think about it. Before that, you can ask POP them."

Z: "It's okay, I can wait."

Skye did not agree immediately. She felt something was wrong in her heart, and finally decided to take a look before talking.

After all, this involves the two business giants Stark Industries and Hammer Industries, and is also directly related to the military and Mr. Iron Man. Skye has to be cautious.

Just like what Jungo said before, the price offered by this employer was indeed high, but she was afraid that she would have to earn it and not spend it!

Then the matter was shelved by Skye. During this period, Jungo also approached her to inquire about the follow-up. However, Skye said that she did not intend to take the job and left it alone.

Until a few days later, news broke that Iron Man Tony Stark was attacked in Monaco, Stark's "cold fusion reactor technology" was suspected of being leaked, and shareholder Leni Testarossa was suspected of being an illegitimate child of the Stark family. Female, this turned Skye's attention back to the previous matter.

Looking at the angry-looking man in the newspaper, Skye couldn't help but recall the mysterious employer "Z" who contacted her a few days ago.

However, according to the information disclosed by Stark Industries, this man has been expelled. Although he successfully reproduced Tony Stark's small Ark reactor with the knowledge of his father Anton Vanke, his net worth is simply poor. It is impossible for one batch to get the commission of up to 100 million US dollars.

Therefore, Skye ruled out the possibility that he was "Z".

Then she turned the target of suspicion to Miss Leni Testarossa Stark, the illegitimate daughter of the Stark family.

Although the information disclosed by Stark Company states that Leni Stark's biological parents are not the Howards.

But judging from the few words that were previously revealed, the relationship between the woman named Leni and Tony Stark is indeed a bit too special.

Leni wants to help Tony Stark eliminate those who covet his Iron Man technology, which does not seem to be an unreasonable reason.

"jingle!"

The message alert on the dark web sounded again. As Skye expected, the contact was the mysterious employer "Z" who had disappeared for a few days.

Z: "The situation has changed. Hammer Industries seems to have really mastered the complete 'Iron Soldier' ​​technology. I urgently need your help now. The price is negotiable!"

Skye looked at the news and made secret calculations in her mind.

This person may be the guy named Leni Stark. Apart from Tony Stark, she seems to be the only one who cares about this matter the most.

After thinking for a long time, Skye couldn't help but ask something that she shouldn't have asked.

Sky: "You want to help Stark Industries?"

The other party seemed a little surprised by the question and was silent for a moment.

Z: "Yes."

Skye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and thought that he was indeed right.

If that was the case, she wouldn't mind contributing to this "excellent female representative".

Sky: "I'll take your job, but the remuneration will be increased by 50%. The firewall of Hammer Industries was made by POP. It's a bit difficult for me to handle it by myself."

What Skye said is correct. POP did help Hammer Industries upgrade the network firewall.

But the reason why Justin Hammer came to POP was thanks to Skye, the top hackers who had invaded Hammer Industries.

The so-called "finding business opportunities is worse than creating them".

Z: "Deal, I'll call you the remuneration right away. I'm waiting for your good news!"

Then, Skye drove and was stationed near Hammer Industries in the following days.

Relying on her powerful hacking skills and the interfaces left by POP when designing the firewall, Skye successfully obtained some confidential information about the "Iron Soldiers".

It is worth mentioning that during the intrusion process, Skye was quickly discovered by people from Hammer Industries, and they immediately locked the fake IP address that Skye had nested at the time!

The other party's hacking skills are also very powerful. If Skye hadn't been prepared in advance, he might not have been directly targeted by the other party along the network to her van!

Fortunately, that guy's level was still slightly inferior to Skye's. After Skye continuously consumed the "broiler" resources of thousands of fake IPs, he successfully got rid of the other party's entanglement.

Looking at the confidential information she had just copied, Skye couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear in her heart.

"With such an incredible thing, I shouldn't be approached by the military, right?"

 Congratulations to BLG for successfully advancing to the semi-finals!The distance to achieve the World Championship achievement: the four LPL teams have advanced to the semi-finals of the S competition, and they have completed 2/4. Next, it depends on LNG and JDG. Come on!
  Then, there is a high probability that Orange will be updated later tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but the update will definitely not be bad, so you can rest assured to follow it.
