Make a small profit

  Make a small profit!

  September 13th, the weather remained clear.

  It was just past nine in the morning, Shi Ke got up from bed and looked at the wallet, with only over a hundred yuan left. Shi Ke decided to go make some money.

  Although Shi Ke's hacking skills have reached the world's top level, he will not use his hacking skills to make money! At least not small money!

  Firstly, making money using hacking skills is not impossible and the money can come quickly. However, without good hardware support, even if one's hacking skills are excellent, it is easy to be discovered. Using a personal computer to hack into a supercomputer is only a fantasy.

  Their supercomputer's computing power, even if unmanned, is like a fool's dream to break through with a personal computer, unless you grasp the key vulnerability!

  So, without good hardware support, Shi Ke doesn't want to show off on the internet. At most, he'll just do some small actions in secret! Hacking into personal computers and company servers is okay. But wanting to attack government departments, intelligence agencies, high-tech companies, and military network servers? Better not!

  After washing up, Shi Ke put on a U disk and took the bus to Shiqiao District.

  Shiqiao District is the largest computer and related industry cluster in Shuangqing City. The three largest computer cities in Shuangqing City are all located in Shiqiao District.

  Shi Ke is preparing to go to Shi Qiao District's Computer City to see if there are any part-time technical jobs available.

  Technically, Shi Ke is more inclined towards intrusion, destruction, wireless networks, image technology, and data recovery. This time, Shi Ke is preparing to find related business.

  The largest computer market in Shi Qiao District is called Bai Nao Commercial Building. Shi Ke stood outside the Bai Nao Commercial Building, casually looking at the recruitment notices posted, but none of them were satisfactory.

  He walked into the Bai Nao Commercial Building and headed straight to the third floor. The third floor was a repair specialty area, while the first and second floors were sales areas for various electronic products. Floors four and above were home to companies of various professional types, such as animation advertising design, data support, company server architecture, and so on.

  Compared to the crowded first and second floors, there are actually more people on the third floor!

  Many people hurriedly carry a host and find a familiar repair shop for repairs.

  Shi Ke strolled around casually, without any discovery. Shi Ke didn't have high hopes either, it was easy to discover business like this.

  In 2006, computers were not very popular, and when they broke down, they would usually be sent to a designated repair location.

  Shi Ke walked into a repair shop called "Ding Sheng Electronics" and greeted a young man.

  "Brother Feng, long time no see!"

  This young man is named Sun Feng. He is the boss of Ding Sheng Electronics Repair Shop, which was opened by his family for him.

  Shi Ke relied on his solid skills and didn't miss out on making some extra money here.

  Sun Feng was happy that Shi Lei made some extra money on the side, after all, Shi Lei had helped him solve many problems. "Hey, Stone! Long time no see!"

  Shi Ke burst out laughing. "Boss Feng, business is booming!"

  Sun Feng's face lit up with joy, and he pulled out a pack of Soft Jade Creek cigarettes, took one out for himself, and then tossed the entire pack to Shi Lei.

  "Stone, stop talking nonsense and come help me take a look at these two computers!"

  Shi Ke didn't smoke, but still put the remaining half pack of Yuxi cigarettes into his pocket. "Brother Feng, is there any business that needs to be taken care of for me?"

  Sun Feng brought Shi Ke into the maintenance room. Two brand new hosts were placed on the maintenance table. The host's chassis looked very strong, and just from the chassis, it could be seen that these two computers were absolutely not cheap.

  Shi Ke casually asked: "Feng Ge, what's wrong with these two computers? Can't we just reinstall the system and be done with it?"

  Sun Feng shook his head, "Can't reinstall! Can't even start up! Just after booting up, it went into an infinite loop of rebooting!"

  Shi Ke personally pulled a monitor, connected the monitor and a host together, connected various lines, and pressed the power button.

  Drip~

  "Humming"

  A faint fan sound is heard, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all. Obviously a high-end silent fan! On the display, just after self-test, it restarted directly! After that, in the self-test phase, unlimited restarts occurred.

  Shi Ke's mouth twitched slightly as he pulled out the power cord, and the host immediately lost power. It wasn't until after opening the case that Shi Ke let out a startled jump.

  I thought these two computers were just a bit more advanced, but I didn't expect them to be this advanced!

  The computer performance in 2006 was far from being as powerful as it was before rebirth.

  This computer uses ASUS M2N32-SLI-DELUXE, which is the top-level motherboard of ASUS in 2006!

  The graphics card is composed of two GeForce 7900 GX2, also the most powerful graphics card in '06!

  However, CPU is the most awesome!

  The so-called invincible U-king of 06 AMD Athlon 64, FX62 processor! Just this CPU alone costs over 9,000 yuan!

  The whole computer, according to Shi Ke's estimate, probably needs between 16,000 and 18,000!

  "Feng Ge, whose computer is this? It's so powerful!"

  Sun Feng bitterly smiled: "I don't know either, but they came in a Mercedes-Benz S600 and sent over these two computers, saying that as long as we fix them, everything will be fine!"

  Shi Ke revealed a sly smile. "Boss Feng, how much maintenance fee are you going to give me?"

  Sun Feng pretended to be sad and said, "Stone, let me tell you the truth. For each computer, we plan to charge 1,000 yuan for maintenance fees, and we'll split it half and half between us. How about that?"

  Shi Ke snapped his fingers. "No problem!"

  These two computers are not a big problem! They just had their BIOS information tampered with, that is, the hardware information was maliciously modified by a virus, causing self-test failure and infinite reboot loops.

  For Shi Ke, such a problem is as easy as stepping on a small white vegetable by the roadside and killing a large piece of it! However, for those who don't understand, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven!

  "Feng Ge, may I borrow your printer!" Shi Lei said, pinching his chin.

  Sun Feng hesitantly spoke up, "Huh? These two computers need a printer to be fixed?"

  Shi Ke silently stared at him!

  Sun Feng had no choice but to surrender, although he opened a computer repair shop, Sun Feng's own technology was not good, he only knew how to deal with people, and he had a group of skilled subordinates, which made him prosperous.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

  The inkjet printer printed line by line, and after a while, Shi Ke handed the printed A4 white paper to Sun Feng.

  On an A4 sheet of white paper, a small advertisement was written.

  Professional data recovery!

  Professional-grade image processing!

  Only two lines of words, but they reveal an extremely arrogant tone.

  Sun Feng looked at Shi Lei in surprise, "Shi Tou, you can do this?"

  Shi Ke smiled and nodded. "Ah! Peak brother, do you have any business to introduce? First of all, I declare that I only do professional-level business, and the fee is relatively expensive! Peak brother, putting this advertisement on your door won't be a problem, right?"

  Sun Feng nodded and didn't mind. "Little Liu, quickly go help Shi Tou stick it up."

  Xiao Liu is a newly appointed maintenance apprentice at Ding Sheng Electronics. All these odd jobs are assigned to him!

  "Alright, boss!" Little Liu responded with a smile on his face.

  "Stone, hurry up and fix those two computers!" Sun Feng said with a anxious look. "Luckily you came today, otherwise I would have called you!"

  Shi Ke took out his own U-disk and inserted it into a normal computer, then said to Sun Feng: "Brother Feng, lend me your U-disk!"

  "Here!" Sun Feng casually grabbed a black U-disk and handed it to Shi Lei.

  Shi Ke retrieved a software from his own U disk and began writing code to restore the modified BIOS information.

  Less than half an hour later, Shi Ke pulled out his own U disk and inserted Sun Feng's U disk. Then he directly modified the U disk to HDD mode, also known as simulated hard disk mode.

  Shi Ke held Sun Feng's U-disk, inserted it into a powerful computer that needed repair, and then chose to restart again. This time, during the computer's self-test process, there was no reboot, but instead directly loaded from the U-disk. On the monitor, a large section of English code was constantly executing. Not long after, the screen jumped into the normal XP startup interface.

  Shi Ke had another computer specially made, and then returned the U disk to Sun Feng. He himself was operating a computer that could be called a machine king, feeling its performance.

  But such performance still disappointed him!

  Although it's a gaming laptop, compared to computers in 2012, the gap is too big!

  Out of boredom, Shi Ke took out Minesweeper and set it to high difficulty, playing randomly.

  Sun Feng held the U disk as if it were a treasure. "Shi Tou, if there are similar problems in the future, can this U disk solve them?"

  Shi Ke's head didn't turn back, intently staring at the computer screen, moving the mouse to sweep for mines.

  "Brother Feng, I advise you not to mess around! That U-disk can only fix these two computers, other computers not only won't be fixed but will also have problems!"

  Sun Feng suddenly put down the U-disk with a gloomy face. "I knew it, you won't take the loss!"

  Shi Kei hehe laughed a few times.

  Sun Feng took out the key and counted ten 100-yuan red bills from the cash register, then placed them on the maintenance table in front of Shi Lei.

  "Stone, this is the repair fee! You're a real rip-off artist! Less than half an hour and you've made a thousand bucks!"

  Shi Ke retorted: "Feng Ge, I've at least paid with my labor, you just stand there and chat, didn't you also earn a thousand bucks?! Speaking of which, Feng Ge, you're the one who's being black-hearted!"

  Sun Feng lost and came down from the stage, sneering: "Stone, can't you have some dignity? You're actually playing Minesweeper!"

  Shi Ke burst out laughing and said: "Peak brother, it seems like you don't know how to play Minesweeper? Do you want me to teach you? Don't worry, I'll teach you for free, no charge!"

  Sun Feng was defeated again!

  Just as Sun Feng was about to provoke again, a middle-aged man's voice came over.

  "Do you provide professional-level data recovery and image processing here?"
