Cartoonist's Dream

Nanhua City, which is located on the Tropic of Cancer, only has spring and summer. Late spring is as hot as midsummer, and the electric fans in the house can't meet the needs of the residents.That day, the mother and son blew the cool river breeze in the early summer night, ate up the Happy Beans and Wahaha, and walked around the embankment before turning back to Pingnan Village from the back door of the Nanhua Theater.

This is the first Children's Day after Limu's rebirth, a Children's Day that did not leave any regrets for her mother.

That night, Xiao Limu couldn't sleep.

His mind is full of the more than 7 people who died in July, including Chinese and Africans. Most of them are elderly, children and women who cannot run or swim.They were soaked in the yellow-orange-orange muddy water mixture and waited until they were soaked or starved to death in the solitary rescue.

Drowning and starvation are far more painful than hanging, hacking, or bleeding to death. [

—I should do something.

He thought stubbornly.

——You cannot do nothing because you are afraid of being traced.

Encourage yourself not to be afraid of being tracked down by the government or some bogus agency.

——The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Whether you are an official, a businessman, three wives and four concubines, or a great cartoonist after rebirth...

No matter what, how can you not do what you should do?

What's more important is that Limu thinks he knows some codes, the most familiar one is jv programming, and some #, and the "injection-attack" mode is also slightly involved.Although there are many masters in the world, he is not confident that he will not leave traces on the Internet, but the coding technology that is more than ten years ahead of the contemporary era is not covered, and it must be very difficult to track him.

But there is one thing that makes Limu very tangled.

In 1998, computers and the Internet had not yet become popular in China, and even the later famous Google was still in the unimplemented plan of the university.

Forums and chat rooms are still in the conceptual state of practice.

At that time, search websites did not rely on search engines. This era was just the "Yellow Pages era" in which webpage directories were manually entered into the database. In the next two years, the "Search Engine Age" will slowly show its power.

——Can computers be used to disseminate information in China in this state?

Advertisements in newspapers and television are the best options for disseminating information, but Limu can't do this, he doesn't want to implicate his family.

After a week of thinking, he finally secretly smashed his piggy bank.The little pig had a lot of fancy intestines flowing out, most of these "fancy intestines" were [-] cents coins, there were a lot of one dollar bills, and there were quite a few dime notes, the biggest one was a dark blue old hairy head .

Get ready, on June 6, he came to a place that he would never go to at his age. This place is called "Internet Cafe" by later generations. Now because the Internet is not popular yet, "Internet Cafe" is temporarily called "Internet Cafe" in this era. "Computer room", if you want to use the Internet in the computer room, you need to pay additional fees.

【Weichang Computer Room】

When standing in front of this store on the street of Jiangbin Road, Li Mu saw the boss's flamboyant signboard by falsely claiming to go out to play after breakfast.

He came here from home openly——

Standing at the door, you can see a bulky monitor, and the rather ugly main box is still lying horizontally, being pressed under the monitor and making a humming roar. The 31-inch disk port is estimated to be rarely used by anyone now or in the future.On a computer screen lined up with flashes, only three or four computers were used for office work, and the rest displayed games such as Diablo, Red Alert, and King of Fighters. [

It was this kind of place where the crowd was complicated, and Li Mu walked over leisurely.

Well, the police investigation is not very strict, how old is not important.

Li Mu thought so from the beginning.

During this period, although the police had promulgated regulations on computer rooms, there were still very few children who could play computers, so there were not many parents complaining about keeping children in computer rooms.

Thinking back, during my childhood in Pingnan Village, this computer room seemed to have never been banned. It changed its name from the computer room to an Internet cafe, changed its name and moved the place, but in fact it became bigger and bigger and opened again. branch.At this time, the atmosphere of Internet cafes was relatively good. There were not a large number of Internet-addicted teenagers who were obsessed with playing online games, and the chances of being robbed would be relatively small.

If Li Mu was really robbed by the "big brothers", he would not be very worried. He only took 50 yuan to go out, even if he was robbed, he would not lose his fortune.Besides, this is a boulevard in Nanjiang District. You can see the street name sign saying "Jiangbin Road" on the roadside signs. If you run out and cry, no one will ignore it.

50 yuan... is equivalent to my mother driving five times. Based on the fact that there is an average of one or two hours in the off-season, this amount of money is equivalent to my mother's income from seven or eight hours of work. If it is really robbed, Limu will definitely Resist to the end!

There are many forks on the right side of Jiangbin Road.At the beginning of the road is the village entrance of Pingnan Village. In the middle of the road is the entrance of Nanhua Theater. Not far away is the school road leading to No. [-] Middle School and Nanjiang Primary School. In the distance is the village entrance leading to Dancun.

It should be in the middle of Jiangbin Road right now, right? Limu thought so, and marked his location on the map in his mind.Although it is very rough, Limu can still find out where he is based on the stationery store next to him. As the first developed area in Nanhua City, the geographical situation of Nanjiang District can be described as quite complicated.

Different from the big-leaf banyan trees on Taoyuan Road, almond trees are planted on Jiangbin Road.This tree is difficult to distinguish from the mango tree at first glance, but it is obvious when they bear fruit, and the size of the fruit they bear varies greatly.I don't know how the greening work was done at the beginning. Two mango trees appeared among the almond trees.

The sidewalk behind the green belt is full of small shops, most of which sell sports products such as badminton and swimsuits. After all, the other side of the Nanhua Theater is one of the two unique gymnasiums in the city. It was booming in 98. During the period, black people could often be seen walking on Jiangbin Road.If naughty children call them "niggers", they will immediately catch up and scare them.

【Weichang Computer Room】

Li Mu was very concerned about this ostentatious signboard, and wrote words like this with gold paint on the black-painted advertising board. "Weichang" is undoubtedly the name of the boss, and "computer room" explained its business.

The signboard is hung at the junction of the first and second floors, and the entrance is open aboveboard, and the stairs leading to the upstairs can be vaguely seen in the room. The boss put the computer on the first floor without fear.

It seems that the boss is not afraid of the police coming to investigate.

Li Mu thought about it, and walked into the computer room leisurely.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him from somewhere, so he looked around, and saw a man with prominent cheekbones on the counter, with very southern characteristics staring at him, his sharp eyes seemed to be staring at prey.

"Welcome." The voice welcoming the guests sounded, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Excuse me, how do you charge?" Li Mu walked over and asked shortly.

Limu entered the Internet cafe for the first time when he was in the sixth grade. Immediately afterwards, the family bought him a computer, which was a high-end desktop computer for 7999 yuan.Ever since he got his own computer, he hasn't been to Internet cafes a few times. He often studies v and vb at home, which leads to computer poisoning, and he becomes a good computer repairer after practicing.Besides comics, computers are his second favorite thing, but there is still an essential difference between interest and ideal.

Li Mu's ideal is a great manga artist, and his hobby is computers.As a result, forced by life, he eventually developed his interest into a job, and reduced his ideals to hobbies.

"Are you alone?" the webmaster asked. [

"Yes."

Limu wondered, do you need to gather a group of people to start the machine?

"Kid, what do you want to do here?"

"I want to look up study materials online."

"One last question, are you 18 years old?" The network administrator made the final confirmation.

"Well... I just want to look up some study materials. Here... do I need to be accompanied by an adult to enter?" Li Mu asked.This is different from the situation he imagined. He used to hear that minors entered this Internet cafe without being checked. He thought that the boss had some kind of background. Now it seems that the actual reason is the strict management.

There is a brand new registration book at one end of the counter, with the visitor's name and ID number written line by line. The last few pages of the book have been written, and it seems that a new book is about to be replaced.A printed form next to it reads: [Internet fee 5 yuan/hour], [Internet fee 15 yuan/hour].

"You need to dial up to check the information, and we charge 15 yuan for an hour..."

Li Mu reached into the pocket of his trousers, about to take out the money contained in it.

"...But you can't come in without an adult accompanying you." The network manager doesn't doubt whether the child in front of him is here to check the information, which is impossible in his mind, and now he only wonders whether the child who looks like 7 or 8 years old can use the computer .

"Call your boss, if I have money, why don't you let me in." Even though he was blocked, Li Mu still took out the money in his pocket and acted like a rogue.

"I'm the boss, I have the final say, you can't come in without an adult accompanying you." The network administrator, um, the boss of the computer room is very resolute about minors entering the computer room.

In fact, when Li Mu entered the computer room, he realized that there were very few computers in the computer room, unlike the Internet cafes in the later period, which had tens or hundreds of computers.Except for the row visible from the door, there are only eighteen PCs in total.However, the total price should be about 20. The boss who dared to pay this amount of money when the industry was not yet formed must have admirable courage.

There was no other way, so Li Mu had no choice but to take back the money and walked out of the computer room in despair.

It's not that Li Mu never thought about buying a computer by himself, but he has no money on hand, and he can only earn income after "Fullmetal Alchemist" is successfully submitted and sold.He is not very confident that he can persuade his parents to spend tens of thousands of dollars to help him buy a computer, or that it is possible to do it only if he performs enough to surprise them.

what can we do about it?

It is indeed a good way to write an anonymous letter.Not to mention the past and the present, even in the 21st century when the detection technology is more mature, it is difficult to trace the source of anonymous letters containing virus powder or declaring crimes.However, the efficiency of writing letters is very slow, and the letter paper and envelopes are quite expensive, and if you add stamps, you can't send a few letters at all.

Considering the disadvantages of using letters, Limu was in trouble again. Even if he took all the money in the piggy bank, he would only be able to send about sixty or so.But it's not impossible for Limu to increase the value of letters. At this time, the letter curse is not popular in China.If you send dozens of curse letters to middle school students saying "If you don't forward the letter to ten people, you will encounter misfortune", there must be a few students who will be recruited.

The only problem is still the slow spread...

No, there is still a chance!

Limu's eyes lit up when he walked to Jinling Stationery Store.
