Chapter 73 - Hacking Skill
He's still playing the old trick of the wolf in sheep's clothing!
“Brother Hao, is that you? Can you really do martial arts?”
His deskmate, staring at the bewildered Jiang Hao, urgently inquired.
Jiang Hao snapped out of his daze, faced his expectant deskmate, and quickly responded.
“How could that be? The guy just bears a slight resemblance to me. If I were a martial artist, would I still be sitting here?”
Jiang Hao's explanation seemed to take effect.
“That makes sense, but the resemblance is uncanny!”
Subsequently, Jiang Hao laid his head down again, determined to ignore the matter.
His deskmate, feeling deflated, put away his phone and went back to his studies.
Yet, this episode sparked an idea in Jiang Hao.
“Hmm? The internet!”
“Could I dig up some dirt on Qin Ming online?”
Jiang Hao sensed an opportunity.
He pulled out his phone and began scouring the internet.
But as hopeful as he was, the harsh reality set in.
Online, there were only a few unsubstantiated rumors about Qin Ming's company, lacking any solid proof.
It figured, though—it would be odd if there were anything substantial.
However, Jiang Hao quickly stumbled upon an intriguing idea.
“Hacker!”
Jiang Hao wasn't a hacker, but he did have a system on his side.
Without a second thought, and to his deskmate's amazement, Jiang Hao got up and left the classroom.
He hurried to his homeroom teacher's office and feigned a cold, asking for half a day off to get some medicine.
His homeroom teacher, concerned for Jiang Hao's health, promptly granted the request.
Once outside the school, Jiang Hao made a beeline for a large bookstore in search of hacker literature.
Before long, he found a book titled “Hacker Technology.”
Clutching the book, Jiang Hao was filled with anticipation.
“System, break down this book!”
“Ding! ‘Hacker Technology' detected. Proceed with deconstruction?”
“Deconstruct!”
“Ding… Deconstruction complete. You've obtained a Hacker Technology Crystal, 0.9 skill points, and 0.9 experience points!”
Hacker Technology Crystal: Contains the essence of most hacking techniques on Earth. By integrating it, you'll become an unrivaled entity in the digital realm!
Upon seeing the annotation, Jiang Hao was ecstatic.
“Initiate merge?”
The system prompt chimed in once more.
“Merge!”
Jiang Hao didn't hesitate for a second before issuing the command.
The moment his words trailed off, a deluge of memories surged into his mind, the vast expanse of network knowledge nearly overwhelming him.
But as quickly as it began, the integration process ended, and the sensation vanished.
Brimming with joy from the knowledge now in his mind, Jiang Hao was elated.
“System, display my personal profile panel!”

Jiang Hao was astounded as he reviewed his stats. He hadn't anticipated such fortune—securing a level 5 hacking skill was beyond his wildest dreams!
With a rush of excitement, he hurried out of the bookstore and made a beeline for a nearby internet cafe.
After settling the fee, he nestled into a secluded corner, booted up a computer, and began to type with a proficiency that seemed almost innate.
Before long, Jiang Hao's gaze locked onto the screen, a discovery sparking a look of intense fury on his face.
