Chapter 6 - Hacking Skills? What a waste spree!

Chapter 6: Hacking Skills? What a waste spree!

Holding his luggage, Chen Ming stood at the designated spot, patiently waiting. Three shouting sergeants continued to yell in the relay.

As time passed, more people streamed into the military camp. Around noon, when most had arrived, under the guidance of a young second lieutenant, the three sergeants counted and called out names, distributing military uniforms to everyone.

After everyone received their uniforms, the officer with a dark face raised a loudspeaker, “Put on your military uniform and stow your civilian clothes in your luggage!” The command echoed, but hesitation lingered among the recruits.

A young man asked, “Do we change here?”

The black-faced sergeant retorted, “Nonsense! Afraid someone will see you?”

Prompted by his gaze, they reluctantly began changing into military attire. With the young lieutenant’s lead, others followed suit. The three sergeants smirked at their awkward movements. “Act like men!” They sneered silently.

When everyone was dressed, the young lieutenant commanded, “All present! Left face, march in step, destination: the train station!”

Chen Ming noted the officer’s commanding voice without a trumpet, louder than the three with trumpets.

Despite the lack of training, the recruits hesitantly formed a line. Passersby amusedly observed their uncoordinated march, prompting stifled laughter. After what seemed like a long walk, they reached the train station. They followed the sergeants’ instructions to enter different carriages by boarding a troop-dedicated train through a special entrance.

The recruits, tired from the long journey, exhaled collectively as the train departed. Chen Ming, having undergone prior training, felt relatively composed.

The train’s whistle sounded, and everyone gazed out the window, some pondering their destination, others reminiscing about homes they wouldn’t see for two years.

Suddenly, a clear sound echoed in Chen Ming’s mind, resembling the clang of a falling pot. Perplexed, he strained to recall but found nothing. Then, the voice returned, proclaiming, “Game sign-in system activated!”

Excitement surged through Chen Ming. The long-awaited system had finally arrived!

Travelling through the belt system, reaching the pinnacle of exploiting advantages – this is the standard package for time travellers!

“The host only needs to play video games for half an hour daily to complete the sign-in, and then he can get the sign-in rewards. The longer the game time, the higher the difficulty of the game, and the richer the sign-in rewards!” The cold voice of the system sounded again.

However, after hearing these words clearly, the smile on Chen Ming’s face froze instantly.

“Play games for half an hour?!”

Seriously, do you think I’m on vacation? This is like boarding a military train, and you know, it’s a military camp!

Coming at this time, in the barracks, and you want me to play some game? My parents sent me here to quit my internet addiction.

In this closed military management, even making a call home requires layers of approval! And you’re telling me to play games for a sign-in? I’ll sign you up for a yo-yo!

While mentally cursing, the system beeped again:

“Newbie gift package presented. Please check carefully.”

“Huh?” Chen Ming’s face showed a hint of a smile again.

“Newbie gift package, could it be a gaming console?”

Chen Ming thought to himself. “Open the newbie gift package.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining advanced hacker red domain skills!”

The ethereal voice echoed in his mind again.

“Not a gaming console?” Chen Ming looked disappointed. “But, what the heck is this hacker skill?”

After comprehending, Chen Ming understood that hackers are divided into red and blue domains.

The red domain represents intrusion, including computer virus intrusion, cracking, compilation, decompilation, analysis, etc. In simple terms, anything that can invade an enemy’s computer falls under the red domain.

On the other hand, the blue domain is the opposite – it involves firewall technology, antivirus software, tracking, anti-tracking, vulnerability research, policy modification, etc. Essentially, all projects related to security experts fall under the blue domain.

The advanced hacker red domain skills rewarded by the system endow Chen Ming with advanced computer intrusion skills.

After grasping this information, Chen Ming’s expression grew darker.

Hackers may sound formidable, but you should know a powerful hacker doesn’t care about the depth of their professional knowledge or their fame in the hacking field. What matters is having a computer, do you understand?

This newbie gift package is essentially a waste package!

As he was mentally cursing, a young man beside him nudged him with his elbow. It was an ordinary-looking young man who could easily disappear in a crowd.

He said, “Brother, we’re in the same unit now. Let’s get acquainted. I’m Yu Jun.”

Suppressing his anger towards the system, Chen Ming tried to sound friendly. “I’m Chen Ming, brother. Which part of Hongrao County are you from?”

“I’m from Anyuan Town. How about you?” Yu Jun replied.

“I’m from Fengyu Town,” said Chen Ming.

After the introductions, they turned to the two sitting across from them.

“Brother, what about you?”

“I’m He Dong, local to Hongrao County,” said the man inside.

After He Dong spoke, the person next to him quickly introduced himself, “I’m He Xue, also from Hongrao County.”

“Hey, all fellow villagers,” Yu Jun, the passerby, chuckled.

Chen Ming thought, “They all enlisted in Hongrao County, basically all fellow villagers.”

But he also knew that Yu Jun was trying to build relationships between them.
