Seeing that she was choosing seriously, Zhou Zhan said nothing more and sat on the sofa to eat.

Wen Xu picked up an empty plastic basket and searched through the shelves in the room, finding half a basket of the components he needed.

There is also a broken full-keyboard mobile phone-shaped Linux computer, PocketCHIP, which is equipped with a touch interface and runs a mature and complete Linux system. It has good functions, but unfortunately the 480*272 pixel resistive screen is very low-end and the processor is too weak.

This microcomputer is already out of print. Judging from its appearance, it has been modified and repaired many times and can no longer be turned on. Judging from the shell, it must have been soaked in water.

Another major overhaul is needed.

Fortunately, all the components here are sufficient for her to carry out repairs and modifications.

Although the microcomputer that Wen Xu got from the God's Hand organization was small, it could only use an infrared keyboard, which was sometimes inconvenient.

Although there are microcomputers like GPD WIN now, they are a bit thick and heavy. Although the keyboard of this PocketCHIP is not very easy to use, it is still very convenient for programming when you have nothing to do.

Sitting on the sofa diagonally to the side of Zhou Zhan, Wen Xu pushed the small basket in front of him, threw the plastic stick of the lollipop into the trash can, and said with a smile: "Let's figure it out, if you don't plan to get rid of me!"

Do it?

Hearing these two words, Zhou Zhan was stunned. This way of speaking was quite consistent with the underworld.

He threw the empty lunch box into the trash can, drank a sip of water, looked at her expressionlessly, and asked, "Are you afraid of being killed? Why do you dare to come here?"

Wen Xu lazily leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs, "Of course I came. I have to talk to you to avoid being misunderstood."

"What to talk about?"

Zhou Zhan frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand the person in front of him.

The current situation is completely different from last night.

"I admit that I saw something I shouldn't have seen last night, but I think I was honest enough not to run to the police station after I left!"

Wen Xu swung his calves and looked around.

"I know that there are all kinds of people in Australia, and I also know that something big happened last night. I understand that you are keeping an eye on me, and it doesn't matter to me."

Zhou Zhan was unsure of what she meant and stared at her, as if trying to detect some disguise on her face.

Wen Xu looked back calmly, "I came here to tell you straight out that I don't want to get into trouble, and I don't want to get involved with the mafia. I won't say anything. You can have someone investigate me, and it's okay for you to follow me, but if you mess with me, you'll get into big trouble."

"You threaten me!" Zhou Zhan's face darkened when he heard this.

Wen Xu smiled slightly, "It's not a threat, I'm just stating the facts. I also want to remind you that I dare to come directly to your territory to find you, so I have nothing to fear. You should have investigated last night, where I went, who I contacted, and what I did."

Zhou Zhan did know that, so he became even more suspicious that she had other intentions in coming here.

If she was really a member of the Zhishen Society or an ordinary person, he would not have any scruples and would follow her to the hotel and have someone kill her, which would be the cleanest way.

It was because of his unknown identity that he did not dare to act recklessly.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Zhou Zhan was not good at speaking to begin with, and the man in front of him said a lot, which could be summed up in one sentence: You, Zhou Zhan, can't touch me, and you can't touch me.

There was a huge explosion last night, and they can't cause any more trouble now.

The instructions given from above were to keep quiet for a few days and wait and see.

We really can't do anything until we understand the relationship between this person and Qiao Dian, Mr. Bai, the Ye family and Sands Bay Entertainment City.

He was silent for a while, his eyes falling from Wen Xu's face to the small basket on the table.

I have to say that she has a good eye. The half frame she picked out contains components that cannot be bought outside, and many of them were purchased by him from the black market abroad.

"Are you a hacker?" Zhou Zhan guessed her purpose with just one look at these components and PocketCHIP and was a little surprised.

Hackers also need powerful hacking devices, such as portable computers. If this PocketCHIP can be modified, it will be very practical. It is similar to a mobile phone with a keyboard and touch screen, and is easy to carry.

"No!" Wen Xu shook his finger, "To be precise, I am a hacker, a geek, and a maker."

Hackers are keen on computer programming, and of course, they are also keen on modifying and upgrading computer hardware.

Geeks are generally defined abroad as people who like to interact with others on the computer network in their spare time. Geeks may or may not be computer experts, but most of them have a great preference for computers and may come up with some new things to study at any time.

A long time ago, in Western culture, geek was a derogatory term for hackers. With the development of the times, people's cognition began to change, and geeks became the mainstream of society.

Makers mainly refer to those who are keen on DIY hardware.

The three seem to be no different, but they are slightly different when broken down.

In society, there are very few people who possess all three cognitive characteristics at the same time. Most of the time, a person may only meet one of them: either a hacker, a geek, or a maker!

Zhou Zhan also understood these things, and he understood them as soon as she said them!

"So, can you fix it? This machine has something very important stored in it for me."

Wen Xu pursed his lips and raised his hand to pick up the PocketCHIP.

"This one has been soaked in water and needs a major overhaul. Fortunately, you still have all the necessary components. Where did you get these things from?"

Zhou Zhan fiddled with the things in the basket with his fingers. He didn't answer her question. He said in a low voice, "If you can fix it and help me retrieve the programs, videos, pictures, and documents stored inside, I can give you all the components in this store, but I have a request."

"Request?" Wen Xu repeated, raising his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

"Install it here. After it's repaired, the machine will belong to me!" Zhou Zhan picked up the high-end AI chip with two fingers, looked up at her, and said in a calm voice: "You should really want this."

Wen Xu snorted, "Brother, if this machine doesn't belong to me after it's installed, then why should I waste my time and energy on it? It's just out of print at the moment, but it's not the only one in the world. This high-end AI chip from Country M is not unique either, so it's not that important to me!"

Zhou Zhan leaned against the sofa, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it up, and acted like a big boss.

"How much do you want? Just name your price!"

"Sorry, I'm not short of money!" Wen Xu chuckled, picked up the bottle of water on the table, unscrewed it and took a sip, and said: "Compared to money, I lack favors and connections more. You are in the underworld, so you should be very loyal. Promise me three things and I will help you fix it!"
