From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

"I slit a big guy's neck with a plate! Then I launched a furious attack...blah blah blah... Pila, that weakling, was no help at all...blah blah blah...and then..."

The lively chat lasted until nearly three o'clock before Leo and Rebecca left the couple's hotel, where she forcibly escorted them back to Arasaka Academy.

He tried his best to persuade the other person to leave before school ended.

Shortly after she left, it was exactly three o'clock.

Sasha arrived at the roadside parking spot directly in front of the college on time and waved enthusiastically to him.

She was driving a convertible Porsche 911 Turbo. This itasha (decorated car) had been gathering dust in the garage since she bought it, and now it finally had a chance to make its appearance.

Leo smiled, and just as he reached the car, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Hey, Leo? It really is you! You're not... ah!"

David was interrupted from his chanting by Leo's spinning punch before he could finish speaking.

Of course, Leo did it very naturally; to outsiders, it looked like classmates playing around.

"David...why are you in such a hurry?"

David clutched his back and looked at him blankly: "I'm rushing to report all sorts of cards lost; some of them I have to do at the branch office."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! See you tomorrow!"

Leo patted him on the shoulder and gave him a push, watching David scratch his head and walk away.

"Is that your classmate? You seem to get along quite well!"

Sasha's voice came from behind, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said with a smile, "Yes, David is from a single-parent family. He studies very hard and is quite talented."

Sasha's attention was completely drawn to the words "single-parent family," and she felt that the boy's experience was somewhat similar to her own, which made her sigh.

"I see... If he's lucky, he might be able to find a job at a big company after graduation. If he's unlucky, he'll probably end up working illegally at a small company, or he might become a self-employed technician like me."

"Yes, but anything is possible, who knows!"

Leora opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and naturally put his left arm around Sasha's neck. He didn't even have to pull, and Sasha leaned over and gave him a sweet kiss.

Looking at her dazed eyes, Leo knew that Sasha's hacking instruction was probably not so "pure".

Being too popular is definitely a problem!

Chapter 331 Sasha's Hacking Lesson Part 1

3:15 PM

7th floor of luxury apartment building

Sasha's room.

The large, single-level apartment, filled with a tech-inspired design and cat elements, gave Leo a very novel experience.

From the moment you enter, a faint, cool mist surrounds you, bringing a refreshing and invigorating feeling.

Leo walked briskly into the living room, quickly looked around, and found the source of the coolness—a large bathtub filled with ice water and ice cubes, the most basic cooling device for hackers.

The bathtub was placed openly in the living room, taking up the space that should have been the wine cabinet.

There were also medical equipment for monitoring vital signs and a network access chair, a standard accessory for hackers.

Why does this place look like a studio?

Leo strolled slowly around the room, looking at the various adorable cat-themed ornaments.

Sasha took off her vest and casually hung it on the coat rack by the door. She then walked gracefully toward him, her incredibly supple waist swaying as she did so.

"Let me tell you, even a regular hacker would drool over my room!"

"My hacker base station is set up entirely according to company standards, including life support systems, cryogenic control systems, blood cooling systems, and other facilities. Staying here, my combat effectiveness is doubled, enough to fight against the company's hackers!"

She walked over and hugged Leo's arm, shaking it playfully, "Of course, you're still a beginner. Let's take it slow and start with the basics."

After saying that, she dragged Leo to the desk and pointed to the computer.

On the open monitor, there was a long exam paper waiting for Leo to answer.

"Do...do a test!?"

Leo was shocked.

So this is what teaching is all about?

Then wouldn't he have waited all day for nothing?!

Sasha nodded quickly: "Before we start the practical exercise, I need to know your true level. Chunbai said she taught you some basics, but I still think we should test you. Here you go, one hundred multiple-choice questions. You can choose more than one. It's okay if you get them wrong. If you don't know the answer, just leave it blank. Don't guess. Hacking knowledge doesn't allow for any carelessness."

"Oh…"

Seeing Sasha's encouraging look, what could Leo say? He could only obediently do his test.

I never expected that the classes I skipped at school would be made up for by Sasha…

It took him about half an hour to finish the test and he got a score of 75, which was neither good nor bad.

Sasha carefully checked his mistakes and commented, "Your basics are okay, probably around the knowledge level of a typical gang hacker. As long as you don't mess around, you can infiltrate shallow cyberspace. Let's get started then, let's try this most basic hacker bathtub first!"

Leo nodded, and just as he stood up, he heard a ripping sound beside him, which sounded like a zipper being pulled open.

Turning my head, I saw Sasha's little white rabbit eagerly jumping out of its purple onesie, breathing in the fresh air.

""

A question mark slowly appeared above his head as he watched Sasha's erotic performance with bated breath.

It felt like only a blink of an eye, and Sasha had become completely penniless.

"Hiss... March is still a bit cold."

Sasha quickly rubbed her arms and waved to Leo.

"Let's get started. I'll demonstrate the steps to enter the hacker bathtub first."

Leo's brain was still overloaded, he was so focused on watching her swaying figure that he didn't follow her to the bathtub for a while.

Sasha leaned forward slightly, her slender fingers precisely pressing a delicate, small button with a silver frame on the edge of the bathtub.

The next instant, a row of tiny light tubes hidden at the bottom of the bathtub lit up, emitting a clear and bright green light.

The originally colorless and transparent ice water was instantly dyed into a dazzling and captivating color, just like the finest jade.

"This is a sterilization lamp that can effectively kill bacteria and viruses in water. Hackers often sweat a lot when performing high-powered operations, and this lamp can also eliminate odors."

Sasha straightened up and glanced back at him.

"And another thing, I told you to look at the bathtub, not my butt, can you be serious...?"

Leo wanted to give her a positive answer, but he was in so much pain that he lacked confidence.

Sasha swayed triumphantly and tiptoed to take a network cable from a portable stand next to her.

Leo suppressed his urge to churn and followed the long data cable, discovering that the source was several large professional servers in the distance.

To cool these devices, there are three floor-standing air conditioners arranged in a triangular pattern around them.

"Big companies' data centers are definitely much more professional than mine, but mine is pretty good too, it's top-of-the-line for a personal hacker!"

Sasha's voice came from behind, and you could tell from his tone that he was extremely proud.

Leo took a deep breath and turned to look at her.

Sasha smiled at him and plugged the extension cable into the data port behind her ear:

"Using a hacker bathtub is actually a very old-fashioned way to cool down. Only beginners or hackers with tight budgets would use this method as an emergency. When using this method, remember not to use the high-speed neural interface in the back of the head, as the cooling efficiency of ice water is limited and will damage your brain."

"By the way, hackers in high-speed transmission mode will ignore most external interference. If they are in deep-dive mode, they will be like a vegetable, completely undisturbed by external factors. At this time, never unplug the network cable and damage the network connection, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Leo nodded vigorously, remembering how Ultra Cunningham had been terribly wronged by Johnny Silverhand.

After explaining the precautions, Sasha took a deep breath and stepped into the icy water with her right foot.

As soon as her tiny, adorable toes touched the water, she shuddered and trembled a few times.

Leo's eyes were spinning from looking at it...

Before Sasha could even utter the words of advice she had prepared, she had already sat down in the icy water.

She shivered for a while before exhaling and adjusting to the sudden change in body temperature: "Some people say that jumping into a hacker bathtub is like winter swimming, but I have to tell you, I have actually tried winter swimming, and getting into a bathtub is much more exciting than that."

Leo tenderly covered her face with his hands and said, "You can just teach me how to use it; there's no need for you to go in yourself."

Sasha stubbornly shook her head: "Teaching by example is the best teaching method. Novice hackers can avoid many detours and have a much lower failure rate when they have a teacher to guide them in the early stages."

Now, I'll perform some random data transfers to show you what a hacker does at work.

Before Leo could speak, she closed her eyes and got into work mode.

Leo hesitated for a moment, then boldly looked at the water.

The once crystal-clear water was now filled with green light, and ice cubes were floating around, making it impossible to see anything...

Chapter 332 shows that a strong bond has been formed between her and Sasha, and there's no going back.

Just as Leo was outsmarting the drifting ice, he suddenly noticed a mist of water vapor appearing before him.

My gaze shifted to the left, landing on Sasha's delicate face.

Her adorable cat-like lips parted slightly, and her heavier breathing caused her chest to rise and fall rapidly.

She was like a red-hot coal, or a graphics card running at full speed, evaporating the ice water in the bathtub at a visible rate.

Affected by this abnormally high temperature, even ice blocks have begun to melt.

No wonder hackers need all sorts of cooling equipment; without this pool of ice water, she could have cooked herself in less than ten minutes.

Leo was a little worried, so he leaned down and gently placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

very hot.

But it's still within the range that the human body can tolerate, so it seems that technological progress is indeed effective.

After waiting another five minutes, Sasha suddenly let out a long breath and opened her eyes: "Warm-up complete, feeling great!"

Leo clicked his tongue in surprise: "You're smoking, are you sure you're okay?"

"Mmm~" Sasha scooped up some ice water and quickly rubbed it all over her exposed skin, a look of enjoyment on her face. "White smoke is fine, it's just water vapor. Black smoke is a different story, it would take at least a few days to recover."

wow-

She stood up from the bathtub, put one arm around Leo's shoulder, and used the support to get out.

She then took down the oversized bath towel hanging to the side and quickly wiped the water off her body.

"This is the most basic operating procedure. It's your turn."

Leo didn't have time to admire her partially revealed body; his eyes were already fixed on the bathtub.

There's no difficulty involved, but it's definitely embarrassing.

He and Sasha are currently in the stage of mutual attraction, but haven't made it official yet. Being so open with each other is a bit...

While he was still engaged in a fierce internal struggle, Sasha had already dried herself off and started urging him on—

"Hurry up, V should be back soon!"

"Oh yes, yes!"

Leo's hand instinctively reached for his waistband, then he suddenly froze.

Is this...right?

Is it necessary to carry a VPN during serious hacker training?

He looked into Sasha's eyes, who blinked rapidly, revealing a guilty conscience.

Very suspicious…

But whatever, he's not going to suffer a loss anyway!

Leo quickly disarmed himself, and then encountered a little embarrassment.

Sasha noticed his symptoms and comforted him, saying, "At your age, it's quite normal, don't worry about it."

Leo nodded, then stepped into the bathtub, intending to use the ice water to cover up his embarrassment.

suddenly,
