Users of the International Forum span the globe.
It boasts a vast user base—notably, this is thanks to its open and liberal discussion environnt, which ans its users co from every domain.
Here, there are not only police officers and cyber police from various countries, but also business elites, students, teachers, researchers, artists, writers, and other diverse characters.
Users from different fields and backgrounds form this diverse forum.
The "Underworld" section appeared in the vision of the International Forum's wide user base on this day.
Currently, it was empty.
There were only two novel links and their respective synopses.
—— "Hacker Kingdom".
—— "Black Ice".
The first ones to enter, naturally, were the cyber police from various countries.
They casually clicked to follow and, finding it barren without achievents, left with waning interest.
At this ti.
Angelina rallied her friends and, in the "Hacker Kingdom" area, she listed so of the technical aspects of "Hacker Kingdom" on the front page as a technical post to engage in extensive discussions with hackers around the world.
"Hacker Kingdom" was deeply influenced by North Bear.
Being a goddess-like figure in the hacker community, Angelina's call to action was trendously powerful; a series of astonishing hacking techniques didn't take much ti to appear on the forum.
Hackers sward in.
The popularity of the "Underworld" quickly surged.
As for the "Black Ice" area, Angelina took charge of it herself.
She must have been one of the first readers of "Black Ice"; thus, the 'drug-making' techniques within were sothing only she could swiftly locate and extract from the novel.
Angelina truly lived up to her reputation as a world-class hacker.
The first 'drug-making' technique from "Black Ice" appeared on the "Underworld" forum section half an hour later.
[Featured Post: The first installnt of jail-bound techniques extracted from "Black Ice"!]

Because the "Black Ice" novel did not fully clarify the raw materials and the specific steps, the key parts used '***' in place.
There's no need to worry that users will start 'making drugs' based on the thod above.
After this post was published.
The "Black Ice" area of the "Underworld" imdiately beca active.
Users who clicked in left ssages to discuss.
[The technical post released by the original poster, making common 'drugs,' is very professional!]
[Jail-bound technique looks quite thrilling!]
[Black Ice, is this a novel?]
[It's unbelievable that a novel would record such techniques!]
[I suspect the original poster and the author are engaging in so sort of novel form of business.]
[Original poster, I want to ask, do you supply? How do you do it?]
[Sa question! Original poster, private ssage !]
[...]
Of course, most of those who asked publicly were just joking or phishing; those who truly had a need were already privately ssaging Angelina.
So people actually clicked into the novel, then tried to contact the author Lin Chuan.
Others wanted to locate Lin Chuan's position.
...
The next day, early morning.
In Anling City, the sky gradually lightened, and a hazy mist like a thin veil shrouded the river's surface. The water was still, occasionally disturbed by a few early-moving boats, the sound of water gently lapping against the hull forming a distant lody.
Lin Chuan was not one to oversleep and had woken up early.
The Little Landlady was still deep in sleep.
Lately, she was always sneakily hugging her laptop, and Lin Chuan thought she had started watching short videos again.
Lin Chuan kissed the Little Landlady's forehead softly, got out of bed, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then walked to the computer room and turned on the computer.
Last night, Angelina had talked a lot with him.
Today, he wanted to see how the "Underworld" section was shaping up.
Before going to sleep the night before, Lin Chuan had already registered an account on the International Forum, going by the na 'Mr. Lin'.
Lin Chuan's fingers lightly tapped the keyboard, moving the mouse.
The International Forum opened with ease.
When logging into the International Forum, Lin Chuan used a virtual IP and a virtual ISP, a good habit for a hacker.
The hopage of the International Forum was simple, devoid of pop-up ads.
Clear to Lin Chuan's view was the hopage's header, the ssage bar, where a little red dot was displayed.
Inside the red dot was an Arabic nural.
——528.
Lin Chuan's brow furrowed and his movents hesitated for a mont, his face showing surprise, "So many notifications?"
With curiosity and bewildernt, he clicked on the ssages.
Among the 528 ssages, 3 were system notifications—like Angelina marking 'Mr. Lin' as an 'author'.
The other 525 ssages were all private ssages.
"So many private ssages, are they all from readers?" Lin Chuan felt sothing unusual about these ssages.
```
It turned out his intuition was very accurate.
After opening the private ssage, he was puzzled.
[Bro, do you have "Drug No. 2" in stock?]
[Buddy, I've seen the compilation of 'drug' recipes by the moderator, it's apparent that you're skilled. Which organization are you with now, and would you be interested in jumping ship to us? High salary awaits, na your price!]
[What are the three key raw materials for 'Drug No. 3' that are blocked? I've tried several and none of them are correct. Could you please inform ? A substantial reward is offered! Don't be ungrateful!]
[Author, you are truly incredible! I have a lot of questions and would like to seek offline guidance from you!]
[Is it convenient to deliver the goods? It's a large quantity, what's the price?]
[Brothers, with such talents, why squat in the network as a bum of a writer? Are you interested in mixing with ? The Golden Triangle will make you soar!]
[...]
Huh——
Lin Chuan quickly browsed through these private ssages, his head buzzing: "Aren't these people a little too accurate?"
All of these users, without exception, were using unknown IPs.
They were using virtual IPs as well.
Lin Chuan could already imagine how many police, cyber police, and intelligence organization personnel were active in this section!
Thank goodness for the virtual IP, or he might have had to deal with Interpol by now.
After so thought, Lin Chuan installed a plug-in and uniformly replied to these private ssages:
"I apologize, but I am just a web novel writer. All the 'drugs' depicted are fictional and cannot actually be produced."
As for whether they believed him or not, Lin Chuan had no idea.
Lin Chuan looked at the system panel in his mind.
[Work: "Black Ice".]
[Status: Released and published overseas.]
[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 1927/50000.]
[Assessnt Task: Produce a 'drug' with 99% purity (pending completion).]
...
Anling Police Station, Cyber Security Detachnt.
At dawn, streaks of golden sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, outlining the silhouette of the police station and spilling into the hall of the Cyber Security Detachnt.
A gentle breeze fluttered by, branches swayed, and the birds chirped on the branches, just as busy as the Anling cyber police.
Xia Qingqing, dressed in a dark blue uniform, had her police cap placed on the table. Her skin was fair and delicate, her features beautiful and pure, still rocking a neat, clean-cut short hairdo that revealed her elegant swan neck.
Then, sowhat absently, she walked towards the eting room to join the Cyber Security Detachnt's morning eting.
It was the routine of Cyber Security Detachnt.
Inside the eting room, the detachnt head, Captain Yu Shan, looked around the room. Once everyone had arrived, he began, "Comrades, I received a ssage from the drug enforcent team yesterday. They reported that recently, a new type of suspected 'drug' has erged in our Anling."
Everyone beca alert.
Xia Qingqing also gathered her thoughts and looked towards Yu Shan, waiting for his next words.
Handling cases, especially big ones, in the police station was never the sole responsibility of a single detachnt. It often involved the coordination of multiple detachnts.
For example, the suspected new-type 'drug' that appeared in Anling needed its source and distribution channels to be traced.
This would not be possible without the comprehensive surveillance of the Cyber Security Detachnt on the internet.
As expected.
Yu Shan continued with a heavy voice:
"Just as you may have guessed, Anling has always been a civilized city. The sudden appearance of this kind of 'addictive drug,' and it being suspected as a 'new-type drug,' requires our Cyber Security Detachnt to focus our work on surveillance related to 'drugs'."
"Additionally, both the drug enforcent team and the drug laboratory have yet to acquire detailed information on this 'new-type drug,' making it difficult to establish preventative asures. We also need to investigate to obtain detailed information about it."
"..."
Captain Yu Shan of the Cyber Security Detachnt outlined the focus of the upcoming tasks, one by one.
Xia Qingqing took her notes seriously.
Soon, the morning eting concluded.
"Officer Xia, wait a mont," Yu Shan called out to Xia Qingqing.
Just as Xia Qingqing got up from her seat, she was slightly taken aback, "Captain Yu, do you have any further instructions?"
Yu Shan smiled and said, "Officer Xia, you are a valuable mber of our Cyber Security Detachnt. Now, I'm entrusting you with an important and challenging task."
"Captain Yu, what task?"
Xia Qingqing looked puzzled.
Yu Shan pulled out a docunt from those on the table and handed it to Xia Qingqing, his tone serious, "This is the limited information provided by the drug laboratory. It records the symptoms of the suspected 'new-type drug' and so items that might be raw materials for the 'new-type drug.' Your job is to gather detailed information on this 'new-type drug'."
Xia Qingqing took the docunt.
It read: Information relating to the suspected new-type drug.
[Na: (provisional) New-type drug.]
[Origin: None.]
[Sample: None.]
[thod of use: Oral.]
The symptoms were recorded in detail.
However, the sections for the origin and sample were blank.
After scanning the docunt briefly, Xia Qingqing chuckled dryly, "Captain Yu, this task is indeed challenging."
Yu Shan laughed, "I believe it won't stump you!"
"Is there a ti limit?"
Xia Qingqing asked.
Yu Shan shook his head, "There's no ti limit, but the sooner the better."
Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "This kind of information search is mostly related to the confidential production records of 'drug' companies, it's very difficult to find, but I'll do my best."
"I understand, do what you can, finding even the slightest clue would be a major breakthrough!" Yu Shan was aware of the task's difficulty.
Xia Qingqing nodded.
Then, she left the eting room and sat down in front of the computer. While reviewing the contents of the file, she began investigating clues related to the 'new-type drug'.
