Cyber Heroes

In 2013, the second year of the world destruction predicted by the Mayans, a young programmer gently picked up a baby girl in the central hospital of Huaiyi City in the Republic of China. That's his daughter. The programmer thought it would be nice to have such a child after the "apocalypse". The next "reincarnation" will definitely be better.

His somewhat educated father-in-law named the girl "Xinyu". The old man thinks the word "rain" is good and means "moistening".

This man who was born in the 1980s really felt at that time that he could live a healthy life like this.

However, he gradually felt "history".

No, in fact, "history" started long ago, at least two years ago. It's just that he realized it later.

On June 9, 2008 local time in the United States, Apple CEO Steve Jobs released the epoch-making product iPhone 3G. Within just two years, this wind blew into the land of the Republic. Not only the iPhone series, but also domestically produced 3G smartphones priced at 1,000 yuan have begun to take root.

As early as February 27, 2008, the mobile payment platform had already sprouted on the land of the Republic.

Online shopping, which was born earlier, and online social networking, which was born earlier, began to expand through these "cheap personal smart devices".

Even the bubble is not expanding as fast as they are.

This is history.

The people of the Republic have had various perceptions of social interaction, shopping, and even life for thousands of years, which have been completely rewritten in the past few years.

This is history.

Programmers see gold.

In his circle, a big brother who later became famous once said that standing on the wind, even a pig can fly.

For the mainland of the Republic, which was still blank at that time, it was a golden era everywhere. This "historical wave" occurred once when he was born. There should be one in the future, but it’s not certain when.

Programmers really want to go out and work hard. He actually had the idea of ​​going to sea when he was 12 years old. But when he made up his mind, his wife became pregnant. It was his first time becoming a father, so naturally all his ambitions were gone.

After my daughter was born, this idea came up again. But every time he mentioned this matter, his wife would cry and say, "Look at the child." Looking at his daughter who is babbling, the programmer can't help but feel soft.

However, in 2014, he could no longer sit still. He knew that the golden age was ending.

As a result, a quarrel finally broke out between the couple.

While paying attention to the news that a food delivery platform had obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in financing, the programmer obtained the divorce certificate and got his wish, taking away all the family's cash savings and other properties, leaving only the house.

and custody rights.

The little girl named "Xinyu" lives with her mother and grandmother, and spends weekends with her father.

In her memory, her father should have stayed in a messy and small place. Dad doesn't know much about children, but he will show them some children's programs. The TV shows at this time were no longer very good, but Dad could always find something interesting for her to watch online. Mom can't do it. Mom seemed like she didn’t understand anything.

The little girl's favorite thing to do is to spend time with her dad on weekends. On a small computer screen, a glowing giant descends from the sky and defeats a ferocious monster. What a powerful thing it is!

But little girls don’t often talk to their mothers about these things. Mom would be angry if she knew her dad "took her to play on the computer all day." When her mother gets angry, she will beat her, and she will cry after the beating.

The little girl didn't like this, not at all. She felt that maybe it was just like those shows, where there was a terrible evil monster in her mother's heart, and one day this monster matured and appeared in the world.

But it's not mom's fault.

The little girl hopes that by that time, a gentle giant of light will defeat the monster and help her mother.

But that day never came.

Around 18 years old, the little girl and her mother moved. The little girl only remembers that one day, her father came to the "home" and cried to her mother. Even though he is an adult, he is not afraid of being shy. Then the mother took the little girl to bring some furniture and rent a cabin. That cabin was not far from my grandparents’ house.

Then for a long time, the little girl never saw her father again.

I don’t know if it’s because of me, but my grandma seems to be very angry and often scolds my mother. Mom also cries often. This frightened the little girl. Is the big monster inside mom about to come out? Why does grandma look like mom? Why doesn't grandpa like himself and his mother?

After a long, long time, Zhu Xinyu found out that her father came to borrow money from her mother at that time. My mother relented and sold the house.

During this period, the only connection between Zhu Xinyu and her father were some books left by her father. Although my mother couldn't understand it, she was not willing to throw it away.

The mother never noticed how smart the kid was. Dad didn't have a chance to notice. The little girl herself has no awareness of this. Everyone thinks that this child is just very smart and can read very early.

The little girl first put that knowledge into practice when she was 19 years old. As a result this time, an old computer that my cousin had used for 8 years was overwhelmed and damaged. The girl's four-year-old cousin was completely unaware of what was happening, and all the adults thought it was just a natural breakdown of the electrical appliance.

Zhu Xinyu cried miserably. She knew she had done something wrong. That computer won't boot, and it's not a hardware failure. She messed with the operating system.

In the next few years, Zhu Xinyu broke her mother's old mobile phone while playing with it, and then broke another one, but she quickly repaired it. She first used the net from the diner downstairs, but soon she learned to steal the net from her neighbor's house.

Mom is still like that, whenever she sees the little girl playing with these things, she will beat her. Even later, when I found out that she was reading her ex-husband’s books, I also beat him. She felt that these books were driving her husband crazy and harming her daughter.

The girl was not convinced. She felt that she was not doing anything bad.

This situation will last until 2023. When the girl was in the third grade of elementary school.

Suddenly her mother stopped beating her and just cried every day.

"I am too stupid." This is what her mother told her: "Mom is too stupid. She has no life. When you grow up, you can't be like your mother. Do you hear me?"

The girl nodded confusedly.

Until one day, her mother told her that she would live with her father from now on.

Only then did the little girl realize that her father had really made a lot of money.

So, another winter, the little girl stepped into a high-end villa. The 400-square-meter mansion was really too big compared to the room with only one bathroom.

Zhu Xinyu saw her father whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. Then, she also saw a woman here, as well as a four-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl.

The boy hugged Zhu Xinyu's legs and called her sister in a sweet voice. Dad asked her to call the woman aunt.

Zhu Xinyu doesn’t understand everything. She could read a newspaper before she was in elementary school. She also read some of the books that my mother loved to read while crying. She could understand what was going on, but she didn't want to understand it at all.

She pushed the little boy away and escaped from this "home".

She found her mother, but her mother slapped her instead. The girl didn't understand and started crying. Her mother also held her and cried.

"Silly boy..." She whispered: "Only your father can give you good conditions."

Mom came to the door again. She even spent a lot of money to buy gifts, came to her door, humbly apologized to the woman, and bowed to Zhu Xinyu's head.

--Why……

This was the first time that Zhu Xinyu felt "completely incomprehensible". She has learned everything quickly since she was a child. But this was a scene that her brain completely, resolutely, absolutely refused to understand.

Is mom crazy? It was clearly her father who was wrong, so why did she apologize?

Dad is the same... Why does such a shameless guy feel a little embarrassed?

What's that woman's expression?

what happened?

——Ah, this is a monster. A monster that cannot be defeated.

——My mother is a madman and a fool, and so is my father.

The only person who made Zhu Xinyu feel normal was the little boy. The little boy cried and asked her: "Sister, did I do something wrong?"

——Why are there normal people? Instead, I wanted to hit him. Or is this acting like what was written in the novels my mother read? Is it pretending? Do you want to make me feel guilty?

From that day on, Zhu Xinyu lived at her father's house. She has a separate room, which is larger than the place where she and her mother live. A big bed and lots of clothes. There's even a computer. Zhu Xinyu also has her own mobile phone.

Although her "family members" strictly limited her Internet time, the woman never cared about it. Ever since that day when she pushed the little boy down, that woman had not had a good look towards her. Probably just waiting for her to fend for herself.

That boy is also like a fool. Zhu Xinyu occasionally couldn't resist and played games with him. This fool liked to create some "tie" situations and yelled silly things like "I win too, my sister wins too, and my sister wins too". She was too lazy to care about those two silly children.

The restrictions set by my father were in vain. The so-called "minor monitoring system" has no effect on her. I'm afraid the father can only see that his daughter has the habit of reading online novels for an hour every night. Zhu Xinyu soon learned to use the operator's billing system to detect loopholes in the request part to steal the operator's traffic.

No one knew what she was doing.

Her family members don’t know how much time she spent in the world of electronics, virtuality and the Internet.

She felt that there was nothing to miss in this place where monsters were rampant. Her spiritual home is on the Internet.

In the world of technology, what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. If it works, it works. If it crashes, it crashes.

She wanted to stay away from those monsters.
