?Chapter 284:
Hackers often resorted to profit-driven and unjustifiable attacks to fulfill their destructive goals. Leveraging their expertise inputer systems,work technology, and various tools, they concealed themselves online, unleashing boundless malice. Just as virtuous and malevolent individuals coexisted, some hackers disapproved of those who sowed social chaos for selfish ends, resorting to extortion and ckmail through the acquisition of private data. Those with a strong moralpass found such conduct reprehensible.
Norah was one excellent example of having a strong moralpass. Within the hacker forum, opinions were divided regarding Star’s recent attack against Lochdeer International Bank. Some advocated for a carefree and indifferent approach akin to that of Star. Others championed technical brilliance paired with amitment to justice, echoing the ethos of Moon. The two factions initiated a thread on the forum, sparking a heated debate under the title, “How do you view Moon’s and Star’s actions regarding the Lochdeer International Bank?”
A disheveled man mmed his fist against the table in frustration within a dim and cramped single room. “Curse Moon! Always meddling!” This man was none other than the culprit of the chaos, whose codename in hacking was Star.
His meticulously crafted schemes had been foiled upon encountering Moon! Every effort he had exerted had unwittingly served to bolster Moon’s reputation. The more notorious the incident, the wider his own notoriety spread, and the same held true for Moon’s virtue!
Star seethed with anger. After painstakingly mastering hacking techniques, he had finally ascended to the fifth position on the hacking leaderboard. He had seized an opportunity to target Lochdeer International Bank, poised to amass wealth, only for Moon to thwart his ns! Hatred flickered in his eyes. “Moon, mark my words, one day I’ll personally bring about your downfall!”
Norah scrolled through several posts, feeling bored, save for the recent thrill of unlocking something within the system. Just as she prepared to log off, a message unexpectedly appeared. It was from N. “Did you just aplish something significant in silence?”
Norah experienced a peculiar sensation whenever she encountered the disyed username “N.” It seemed to evoke a sense of familiarity, as if she were gazing upon her own name.

She replied, “Yeah. Just logged in?”
N texted back, “Yes, the forum posts about you caught my eye as soon as I logged in. You truly live up to your name. Quite impressive!”
Norah’s focus wasn’t on the chat’s content but rather on the username “N.”
She recalled that the second-ranked individual on the hacking leaderboard used to go by the username C. It wasn’t until thetest online update in the forum that Norah noticed C had switched his username to N, prompting her to tease him about it yfully. It all boiled down to a username.
Norah asked, “Why the sudden change in your username? I’m referring to your name on the hacker forum.”
N replied, “I wanted to change it, so I did. Is there a rule saying I can’t use this name?”
Norah couldn’t reveal that his name always reminded her of herself, so she shifted the conversation. “So, how’s your love life? Any progress?”
The chat box blinked, and N’s username changed back to C.
C answered, “She’s already my girlfriend. Thanks for asking!” Norah mused to herself.
She probed, “Congrattions! Does your girlfriend’s name start with N?”
C texted back, “Yes.”
Norah scoffed. As expected, men often engaged in such gestures, using a woman’s name to y the romantic role without her knowledge. Now that he had won her over, he reverted to his original username.
Well, at least conversing with C wouldn’t feel as peculiar anymore.
C added, “My girlfriend and I are doing splendidly. I’ll definitely invite you when we tie the knot.”
Norah replied, “Looking forward to it.” With no luck finding information about C online, an in-person meeting offline sounded good.
