America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

This software has been previously used by Blitz, and it features convenient mini-programs. Although its functionality is not too robust – only the Sentinel function is quite useful – it's generally sufficient for everyday use.

"What's the name of this software? It seems to have quite a few uses." Allen Zhang got the hang of it quickly and was full of praise.

"This is a piece of software I programmed back in high school. I call it Terminator 1.0. Its functionality was somewhat limited back then, and it was open-source, available for public download. But it got taken down from the official website later on. After I started working at the company, I didn't have time to update it. However, after several rounds of optimization and updates, and the use of modern AI, it now incorporates many convenient features."

Blitz explained: "When you browse underground websites, enabling the Sentinel feature will block spam ads and virus interference."

Allen happily activated Sentinel mode. Then he opened the deep web, located the posted intelligence task, and clicked to accept it.

He also selected two multi-person Black rap sports videos for the other party, encrypting and sending them in a packaged folder.

The recipient quickly received the files. They only viewed a few seconds of the video, and to watch the subsequent one-minute-long video, a key was needed to unlock it. Inputting the wrong password three times would automatically destroy the file.

This is a common practice many people use when conducting underground information transactions.

Australian lobster: Hello, I've received the video message you sent, it's very helpful. Please send me your virtual account link, and I will send you a Bitcoin reward worth 4 coins.

Blitz glanced at it and immediately refused, advising: "He's testing you. Don't give him any information. You just need to have him transfer the BTC to the root directory storage folder labeled seven.25, which will automatically unlock the key. At that point, the folder will unlock and be implanted into his computer. You then can extract the recovery pack remotely via the cloud, transferring the BTC data to your own account."

Allen had a moment of realization and immediately messaged the other party.

Burger King: Please transfer the BTC into the root directory storage folder marked seven.25. I will extract it.

Australian lobster: ok.

Soon, the folder showed that it had been unpacked, and a data link appeared.

Allen copied the link and entered it in his own virtual account. He successfully extracted the four Bitcoins through the cloud.

Virtual currency is essentially just a string of programmed numbers; transfers and decentralized transactions are very convenient. As long as the gray industry chain and money laundering exist, it's unlikely they will be easily replaced.

Without Bitcoin, there's Dogecoin; with no Dogecoin, there is Ethereum. Even without these, new ones like Catcoin or Bugcoin will emerge. It's just a means of decentralized transactions.

And if you don't want to risk it, then trade in Gold.

Watching the four Bitcoins appear in his account, the General Sect Leader couldn't help but sigh at how easy the money was to earn.

However, it's only easy for him personally; it's not so simple for others to collect evidence and videos. One could get shot 27 times in the back and die of 'suicide' while gathering intelligence.

After a minute, another message came through.

Australian lobster: I've reviewed your video; the clarity and content are explosive. Are you interested in working with us? I'm a non-staff member of WikiLeaks. If you have more gray industry chain evidence videos in the future, you can provide them to us. Based on their impact and market price, we will reward you with anything from 1 to 10,000 Bitcoins, or an equivalent value in Gold. Don't worry about us not keeping our promise; WikiLeaks will absolutely not default on payment.

How much? 10,000 Bitcoins?

How much money is that?

At the current rate.

$642.5 million US Dollars!!

The General Sect Leader was astounded. How impactful would a scandal have to be to be worth this much?

Probably involving the secret death of a wildly imaginative president, the dark information of deep government financial groups and families, evidence chains of military regions trafficking weapons, dark deeds against civilians on battlefields, secret agents from various countries infiltrating...

It could easily shake the foundation of a country, changing history and the direction of presidential elections.

Although he knew the intelligence industry was lucrative, he hadn't realized it could be this profitable.

No wonder so many people want the founder of WikiLeaks dead, yet also fear his death.

Burger King: If I ever need money, maybe I'll consider it.

Australian lobster: I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.

Allen exited the chat.

Before long, Sentinel mode alerted him that someone was attempting to investigate his information, but they were quickly blocked by the firewall, having no impact on him at all.

Allen couldn't help but reflect on how useful this gadget was.

"If you run into a tough problem, I'll help you sort it out on the mainframe," Blitz offered.

The Terminator 2.0 mobile version is essentially an independent offspring, with functionalities simplified. The real, useful mother software is the Terminator 2.5 version that Blitz operates on his computer.

Allen continued using the Terminator mobile app, annotating his friend Dominic and everyone he had been in contact with, marking them all as important. He could also see the incomplete building's location, the camp of the short-tailed dog, and the Mexican's blank profile yet to be edited.
