Chapter 1415: The Director, Actor and Hacker In One, and Change
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luke had intervened in the development of smartphones and the wireless network, so the Internet had progressed five years faster in this world than in his previous life.
At the moment, nobody could touch the relevant parties involved in this sumptuous feast.
From major cell phone companies to manufacturers of electronic components, network operators and the developers of cell phone software, plenty of parties had long been eyeing this huge cake worth billions.
As a leader in smartphones and the pioneer of social media software, Luke had the most important authority when it came to controlling the Internet.
He just needed to change some algorithms slightly to make anything that needed to be seen appear in front of online users.
That was another reason why paid trolls couldn’t suppress Batman’s supporters.
Actually, there was no video to prove that Batman had caused civilians harm.
Luke, who had Sharp Nose, Elementary Sound Wave, and armor detection, smiled without saying anything.
Actually, the reporters had taken a lot of footage of Batman’s battle.
After all, in order to distract the reporters and not put too much pressure on his teammates, Luke hadn’t covered himself at all.
But most of the videos weren’t played a second time.
As long as one more was released, everyone would see that Batman had saved yet another civilian.
His opponents were just test subjects with outstanding physiques but no sense of rationality. How could they fight Batman, a master in physical skills?
As long as he was willing, he could predict and even direct all their attacks.
Accidental casualties? As if.
A master in physical skills could send test subjects flying over the heads of civilians with one punch and not let a single drop of blood spill on them.
So, Luke was completely unperturbed.
The fiercer these people were toward Batman, the guiltier they would feel after wronging him.
At that moment, fans who were firmly on his side would be able to hold their heads up high and become true hardcore fans.
Although Luke had no interest in fans, these hardcore fans wouldn’t let public opinion gain the upper hand, and would give him enough time to plan, just like today.
The American government probably already had a headache over the issue of online public opinion! Luke was secretly amused.
In fact, many people from the government had already called the five major TV networks and several major web portals to suppress Batman’s momentum.
But this was just the beginning, and a lot of people started to spread the word rapidly on F2F and via their social circles.
If these couldn’t be used, wouldn’t that be a waste of the media circle Luke had created with smartphones and software?
Whatever he wanted online users to see would be whatever they got.
The conspiracy theorists couldn’t wait to come out and claim that this was an attack by the American government on Batman.
When he had seen this news, Luke had simply given a thumbs up to these bigshots who had analyzed the situation most brilliantly, and at the same time, turned them into trending topics.
He didn’t need Titanium Phone Company to do all this.
Luke hacked into his own company’s system, adjusted the data, and left behind clear traces, as if to say, “XX was here.”
Thus, Titanium had done nothing wrong, and had been very good about listening to the American government regarding this matter; it was just that a certain hacker was too cunning and easily slipped through the gaps in his own setup.
Not only that, there were countless other hackers who were helping to make noise for Batman.
Luke had tracked down more than 100 hackers who had helped expose dirt on the government. However, there was one person he couldn’t figure out.
This person definitely wasn’t Tony. The tycoon wasn’t that free, and the methods were different.
It was interesting that Luke couldn’t lock onto this person’s location.
This somehow felt familiar — was this the hacker who had appeared during the New York explosions?
However, that hacker had clearly led Batman into a fight with the Enchantress last time. Why was he speaking up for Batman now? If he was an enemy, hitting Luke when he was down would be the right thing to do.
After two tentative probes, the guy didn’t respond, and was even wary enough to completely disappear.
Luke felt a little regretful.
A hacker at that level who could evade Tony’s trackers and A.I. was definitely a lethal weapon.
However, he didn’t have high demands of this person.
The A.I. programs had greatly alleviated his lack of manpower, and he didn’t have to deal with issues of trust.
Living people were always more unpredictable than programs.
…
Even as he waited, he wasn’t idle.
During this time, his clone took Alice and her daughter to Disneyland in Los Angeles for three days.
There was no sign of Batman in Los Angeles, but the legend of the Ghost Butcher was resurrected. The core members of the three most rampant and violent criminal gangs, as well as the bigshots of three drug gangs as well as the loot in their warehouses, mysteriously disappeared.
There was no noise, no blood, no bullet holes, and no bodies. They simply disappeared, as if they had run off on their own.
Currently, host’s experience was 445,000 / 900,000.
Credit: 602,000.
Without his knowing, Luke already had half the experience required to upgrade to level 20. His diligence hadn’t been in vain. Even in coming to Los Angeles, he had farmed points from some gangs in passing.
Then, Alice and her daughter flew back to New York, and Luke wandered around various other American cities on his own.
He could only do most of the things this time himself. His opponents weren’t stupid, and were especially powerful.
If he sought help from an ordinary investigation company, and there was even the slightest leak, the company would become a lead toward finding Luke.
He definitely wasn’t afraid of being discovered. In any case, he was using an alias, and he would abandon this ID after he was done using it. Nevertheless, the other party would pick up on this oddity.
Thus, he paid some people to lay the groundwork beforehand, with vague instructions.
Apart from making things easier for Luke at the right time, these people didn’t know anything else.
The clone spent the rest of July on work trips like these, while Luke went to work as usual. This continued into the middle of August.
The media was starting to get tired.
The verbal battle between the paid trolls and hardcore fans was ongoing, but more and more “evidence” had appeared in the hands of these hardcore fans.
In the end, all sorts of battle footage taken by the reporters went out.
They weren’t soldiers, and didn’t follow orders strictly.
For money, many people were willing to make copies of the videos and spread them.
Thus, many videos that had quietly disappeared from the public eye reappeared, but only on the Internet..
