Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Port
On a Summer Afternoon located in Jade Community of Mu City a Container Truck was seen park near a house with workers loading equipment inside the container for transportation. Nan'Ke had bought the necessary supplies for his imitation super computer, costing him 33,000LP. He had order a truck to come pick up the goods to the warehouse where he would assemble the computer. The warehouse was located on the east side of the city about 5km away from the Port.
After purchasing his computers' materials he then bought a enhanced brute force hacking device that costs him 2,500LP, with this device any phone or computer or any technology within 500m is vulnerable to an attack from him. He was planning on hacking Mu Yen's phone when he eventually meets him for a 'date' which could happen anytime now. Using his fake account 'Alicia' Nan'Ke began conversations with Mu Yen in hopes of drawing him out alone so he could either kill him or at least hack and track his whereabouts. He wasn't sure the right move as it was good to remove a pest from your life however killing a bee is sometimes more worse than letting it go, as they would bring the whole colony when they die.
He then entered the truck as they made their way to the warehouse, on the way there Nan'Ke began looking at the port as he can see it on his approach. The port was one of the biggest reason why Mu City is so popular, as it gives access to other regions of the Nation that may be difficult to access through the bad terrain. It also offers you global connectivity as foreign goods may be imported into the country at a low cost however with the Tariffs and Taxes put on imported products the ones loosing out is the consumer while the retailer make tons of money due to the mark up price. 'Hmmm, on the report obtain from the police station, the port isn't so neat and clean as some foreign girls and illegal drugs are funneled through it with the help of some families. Like the Xiao family, at least I think that's where the former mayor gets his girls from but from what I gathered it wasn't only him as he preferred the local delicacy rather than a overseas one, fucking bastard.' Nan'Ke believes that another family was involved in the smuggling operation that goes on in the port and that millions if not billions are churn out every year. 'Maybe I should start a shipping company, I do have that main quest to gain $1 million dollars in profit, hmm well I could just start a cyber security firm base on the buzz I created using C0D3-X, but I would need more products to fill the gap as not all companies would use my services.
Maybe I should wait until I get more companies coming for my program and then use that money to start the investment firm….You know what….I want to create a conglomerate. Yes that's it, Zhang Group,… no no no no I wouldn't want to use my name right now as it should only be a mystery for those of real power, how about…..'Shenghuo Group'….yeah I would go with this as it defines what is driving me'.
(A/N: 'Shenghuo means Life in 'Long' language )
Nan'Ke thought, making it clear that his name would not be known and if it was it was shrouded in a dense fog that made people wary of those within. This is the effect he is going for until he actually can bring it to fruition; 'fake it till you make it' he reminded himself. But he did not let the idea of having a shipping company go as knowing that having access to the wider world will give him more opportunities to either create or take, increasing his power over time. He did not want a good life as he so claim before, with the power and help of the system he wanted it all, he wanted stand above those that he once had to look up to a new path he laid out for himself one filled with the darkness of the world and one he now wants to walk on.
After an hour drive Nan'Ke had arrived at the warehouse and proceeded offloading the hardware form the container truck. With the help of some workers he hired from the local surrounding areas it was done within 20 minutes. After paying a total sum of $100,000 to the workers he began assembling the machine in the basement level of the warehouse. However this was as far as he can go because without the necessary power supply to get the computer running it would just remain on display. To do that he needed access to the power grid within Mu City to re-direct a certain amount of electricity to his warehouse.
Not to create suspicions base on the power surge that would have appeared on the government radar if he just connected the computer to the power grid directly. Nan'Ke needed more Life Points to purchase the required equipment to seemingly conduct the power that would come directly from the grid to the computer without creating power shortages or surges, he name this device 'Relay'.
This device would take power from the power grid like a regular household appliance and store it. It needed approximately three days charge to reach maximum capacity before repurposing the stored power towards the computer through underground cables which cost him a lot of money to import. With the computer assembled he would need to wait a few more days before his cables arrived and he had enough Life Points to purchase the 'Relay', he actually needed 8 of them so there will always be a source of power for his computer.
Afterwards he made his way to the port to get a certain look at the various on goings. 'I see that the government outsourced the work to various companies and they all fighting for more control of the port. Well I mean if they are in charge of imports and exports who is to say they don't have shady dealings that the government isn't aware of. If I were to open a shipping company what would I be shipping' Nan'Ke thought while walking around the port, taking notes of various companies names that work here. 'I would have to see what the people of Long country would want before bringing in foreign goods. I could make a program that targets people interest, like their various likes and dislikes and what they are into. I could hack into those online shopping site to get a list of customer information, then the program would conduct a forensic analysis to see the customer's purchase patterns and search history to determine what they are interested in. That could work but what would be the ultimate goal….like do I start a company to complete the first quest doing this or just is it just a foundation into the port business? Nan'Ke questioned himself wondering where to take his new idea to. 'Okay, let's first create the 'Shenghuo Group' and then create front companies that work on behalf of the group…so I wouldn't need to much employees right now. I'll probably need a Chief Executive to act as the figure head, a Chief financial officer but I would rather create a financial analyst program that I can do that for me. Well all that is left is a personal secretary to be the bridge between me and the Chief Executive.' He continued in his thoughts while not being distracted from taking mental notes of certain people within the port and how they behave.
It was late evening when Nan'Ke return home, he began quickly creating two programs that would probably cause a war in the I.T community. They were for the customer screening and the financial reporting for his company. He made a few calls to his lawyer asking him to set up a the main company while hiding it behind the five front companies that he had him create as well.
Not all of them would operational right now but they do exist in the legal aspect. It would take another week to get everything sorted so with the time he had in his hands, he now had two issues, one is to deal with Mu Yen and the other is to find a way to obtain Life Points, which means he needed a life achievement. He thought for a while and decided by killing two birds with one stone. Okay let's invite Mu Yen, using the Alicia profile to the club tonight, and while I'm there to hack his phone I would also look for a lady to spend the night with'.
That was Nan'Ke grand plan for the night a bit of spy craft while also graduating into becoming a man as he thought it was probably his only way as of now to get a large sum of Life Points, while not deviating from his current plans.
