Digital Hackers' Memories

You mean I'm fat?

Since regressing into a foxmon, Renamon's already not particularly aloof personality seems to have become much more human-like, and now it even asks questions that only human women would ask.

"Uh……"

Chen Ze was clearly taken aback by the question and was momentarily stunned.

"Huh? Why aren't you replying?"

The miniature camera, which couldn't capture Chen Ze's expression, rotated slightly before the little fox beast's rather confused voice reached his ears again.

Why did you suddenly decide to ask that question?

Upon hearing the little fox's question, Chen Ze realized that the sentence didn't seem to have the meaning he had imagined, but rather a very simple literal meaning.

"Because this question often appears in the TV dramas your mother watches."

Scratching his head in frustration, Chen Ze realized that he really couldn't let the little fox beast watch too many soap operas, otherwise it wouldn't be long before it turned from an "otaku fox spirit" into a "fujoshi fox spirit".

"You're not fat, and you should try to avoid watching too many of Mom's weird soap operas and otaku anime in the future."

"That stuff is 'toxic,' and people with mentally unstable minds are easily affected."

"Well……"

"You're saying I'm stupid this time, I can tell."

............................................................................................................

"Ah!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the lovable mother, unaware that her son was making fun of her, suddenly sneezed, then turned to look at her husband behind her with a puzzled expression.

Were you just cursing me in your mind?

This sudden problem left Chen Ze's father, who was still at work, completely bewildered.

"what?"

Chen Ze's equally lovable father looked up in bewilderment, then saw his wife baring her teeth at him, and was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"How could I scold you? I love you so much!"

Without offering any explanation, Chen Ze's father skillfully opened his arms and hugged him.

Arguing with a woman about this kind of issue is definitely pointless; this is the biggest lesson Chen Ze's father has learned over the decades.

"Hmm, you just know how to use sweet talk to deceive me."

She thoroughly enjoyed her husband's doting affection, but Chen Ze's mother still kept grumbling.

"By the way, our precious son is going to Tokyo alone as an 'exchange student.' Aren't you worried at all?"

Completely unable to keep up with his wife's bizarre thought process, Chen Ze's father was stunned for a moment before casually explaining.

"This isn't the early 21st century anymore. Communication and positioning technologies are so advanced now, are you really worried that guy will get lost?"

"Besides, you've already arranged a school and a place for him, and even sent a Japanese friend to pick him up from the airport. What else could I possibly worry about?"

Hearing her husband say that, Chen Ze's mother felt a little relieved.

"That's true. I'll call him as soon as he gets off the plane."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's father could only roll his eyes helplessly.

I've never seen my wife care for me this much when I'm away on business trips. I guess I really am at the bottom of the family food chain.

"Speaking of which, when did you meet that friend? What's his name? Is he reliable?"

Chen Ze's father knew that his wife's family was relatively wealthy and that she had studied in Japan during high school, but he didn't remember that she had any Japanese friends she still kept in touch with.

"Hmm, I met him online a few years ago. I heard he's a traffic cop in Tokyo, so he must be a reliable person!"

Chen Ze's father slapped himself on the forehead and realized he should never have had any expectations of his homebody wife's "friendship".

"Now I'm a little worried about what will happen to that brat. I just hope your friend isn't as unreliable as you."

"What did you say? You dare say I'm unreliable?"

Her eyes widened instantly, and Chen Ze's mother twisted her upper body, grabbed her husband's cheek, and roared.

When have I ever been unreliable?

"That brat insisted on going to Tokyo this time, wasn't it all thanks to me taking care of everything for him from top to bottom?"

"When have you, as the father, ever taken responsibility? And you have the nerve to say I'm unreliable?!"

Chapter 3: Makiko Date (Bonus Chapter)

"Is this the EDEN standalone network on the plane?"

When Chen Ze opened his eyes again, he saw himself floating in mid-air above the clouds, surrounded by countless jellyfish-like creatures.

As for Chen Ze at this moment, he once again transformed into the "Matrix" form, dressed in black, wearing black robes and black sunglasses, a form he hadn't done in a long time.

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by using your hacker persona so blatantly?"

With a lazy groan, the little fox beast, who had completely taken Little Bick as its "cradle," slowly floated out from behind Chen Ze.

"Don't worry, I've already deleted all login records."

In fact, Chen Ze also wanted to log in directly using his "real body," but before officially entering Japan and registering with the authorities, he did not have a formal data avatar.

Even this current data avatar is a hacker image fabricated by Chen Ze himself.

However, after using the personal information purchased from the black market last time, this data avatar is now almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Even with the stringent authentication requirements of EDEN's public areas, Chen Ze's abnormal data could not be detected, let alone the semi-private EDEN network of an airline.

"Speaking of..."

Just as the little fox beast was about to say something more, she suddenly looked up at the empty space in front of her, and then immediately controlled Little Pix to hide again.

Boom!

The next moment, this independent digital space began to generate a series of ripples, and the surrounding things changed rapidly like a kaleidoscope.

"Someone came in?"

"Isn't this the airline's private network? I'm not connected to anyone nearby either."

Somewhat bewildered as he watched the surrounding clouds transform into skyscrapers, Chen Ze didn't have time to think too much. He quickly logged out of his hacker avatar and used the virtual character provided by the airline.

"This airline needs to improve its aesthetic sense."

At this moment, Chen Ze had transformed into a doll-like figure less than one meter tall with enormous eyes.

This is the virtual image of the airline's mascot.

They also use "universal avatars" to allow foreign tourists who have never been to Japan and do not have a digital avatar to personally experience the magic of the virtual network.

Any passenger who has purchased a ticket from this airline can log in to the local area network directly using this avatar without any identity verification.

Boom!

So, once this digital space was completely stable...

The surrounding clouds and jellyfish have disappeared, replaced by a virtual reality of a giant Tokyo airport.

"Chen Ze?"

Along with this massive Tokyo airport appeared a tall, slender woman in a police uniform with a lazy, dead-fish-eyed expression.

"You're Chen Ze?"

Seemingly wanting to leave a good impression on Chen Ze, the woman who suddenly barged in first carefully examined him before asking a second, very solemn question.

"I am Chen Ze, and you are..."

Blinking involuntarily, Chen Ze looked at the unfamiliar woman who was half a head taller than him, his heart filled with doubt.

“My name is Date Makiko, and I am a friend of your mother.”

After confirming Chen Ze's identity, the woman named "Idate Makiko" laughed heartily and then introduced him in a very familiar manner.

“Your mother has already told me about your time in Tokyo as an ‘exchange student’.”

"So I'm here to let you know in advance. I'll pick you up at the airport after you get off the plane."

"Also, I've already arranged your accommodation in Tokyo."

"You can tell me now what you'd like to eat later..."

"and many more!"

Blinking again, Chen Ze looked at this increasingly familiar "big sister" and couldn't help but interrupt her.

"You said you were my mother's friend? And that you were responsible for picking me up from the airport? But I don't know anything about that."

Before Chen Ze could finish speaking, Makiko Date was stunned.

"You don't know? Didn't your mother tell you about me?"

Chen Ze nodded with absolute certainty, and he was certain that his mother hadn't mentioned this at all when he left home.

"Uh...maybe she forgot?"

Scratching the back of her head, Makiko Date said somewhat uncertainly.

"forget?"

This time, Chen Ze was stunned, because given his mother's personality, it wasn't impossible for her to forget something so important.

Moreover, the fact that Makiko Date was able to access this internal network at this time clearly indicates that she had passed the airline's internal review and been confirmed as the person picking her up, which is why she was granted the appropriate permissions.

"Mom, when are you going to be reliable for once?!"

............................................................................................................

"Ah!"

On the other side of the mainland, Chen Ze's mother sneezed again, but this time Chen Ze's father sensed something was wrong and slipped away before she could lash out.

"Could it be that my son is thinking of me?"

Staring at her hands in confusion, Chen Ze's lively mother decisively shook her head in denial—how could she not know what kind of personality her own son had?

Instead of hoping that kid will remember you on his own initiative, it's more realistic to worry about whether the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.

"Is that Makiko talking about me?"

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Ze's mother realized that besides her own family, only that online friend in Japan had recently contacted her.

"Did I forget something?"

Recalling everything that had happened in the past few days, Chen Ze's mother thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what she had overlooked.

"It must be your imagination. I'm very reliable."

Muttering to herself without much confidence, Chen Ze's mother, with the mindset that "if you can't imagine it, it doesn't exist," quickly put the matter out of her mind.

"Hmm, let's make sweet and sour pork ribs today!"

Chen Ze's mother got up and headed straight for the kitchen, deciding to enjoy some long-awaited time alone with her husband while her son was away.

"Honey, I'm planning to make sweet and sour pork ribs tonight. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

Hearing the shout, Dad, who had already retreated to his study, immediately came out and followed him into the kitchen, looking like he was craving something delicious.

"Haha, I finally have the right to order food again!"

"Today is the first day that brat is away, I'm going to eat my fill."

"Stir-fried pork intestines, boiled tofu, and it would be even better if there was a whole BBQ roasted duck!"

"Get out! Today we only have sweet and sour pork ribs, take it or leave it!"
