Chapter 38 - Chapter 38 - How Hackers Help Internet-Addicted Teenagers Quit Gaming (Part 1)

Seeing this, Brother-in-law showed a displeased expression and was about to scold him, but Elliot stopped him, "It's okay, Brother-in-law, he's just a kid, they're all like this, don't mind him."

Elliot said, "My sister said Jayden has been obsessed with gaming recently?"

"Yes."

Victor nodded helplessly, "This kid is completely engrossed in gaming. Last night, he actually played until two or three in the morning before sleeping, and he wouldn't listen no matter how much I scolded him."

"My sister told me," Elliot looked towards the kitchen where Emma was busy cooking. "Brother-in-law, I have a way that might help Jayden quit his gaming addiction. Do you want to try it?"

"What way?" Victor's spirits immediately lifted.

"Let's talk in the study."

Elliot got up and walked towards the study.

Brother-in-law quickly followed.

Elliot walked into the study, took out his laptop from his computer bag, turned on the power, and connected to the WiFi.

Then, he skillfully opened a scanning tool and began scanning the network devices in the house.

<[System Scan]>

[IP 192.168.1.21 (Pixel 7 Pro), found.

IP 192.168.1.100 (Galaxy S23), found.

IP 192.168.1.112 (ZenBook 14), found.] ...

"This 'Pixel 7 Pro' should be Jayden's phone, right?" Elliot asked, pointing at the device information displayed on the screen.

"That's right, it's his phone," Victor nodded, curiously asking, "What kind of software is this that can scan all the devices connected to our home WiFi?"

Although Brother-in-law wasn't from a computer science background, he was still half a science and engineering man and knew a little about computers and networks.

"This is a network scanning tool that can scan all devices in the local area network and detect if there are any vulnerabilities in the devices," Elliot explained. "Look, all these devices have security vulnerabilities. I can use these vulnerabilities to hack into Jayden's phone. Not only can I monitor his every move, but I can even control his phone, so I'll know anytime if he's playing games."

As Elliot spoke, his fingers tapped on the keyboard.

After dozens of seconds, he pressed the Enter key.

A mobile phone interface appeared on the computer screen, which was the game screen of "Miracle MU".

Needless to say, it was Jayden's phone.

"See, Jayden is indeed playing games," Elliot said.

Victor leaned over to the computer and looked, and as expected, Jayden had gone back to his room to secretly play games.

"This little brat, he never stops playing games," Victor said angrily.

While angry, Victor was even more surprised at how Elliot did it.

"You just tapped the keyboard a few times and hacked into his phone? This is too amazing."

"This is just a minor trick," Elliot said humbly. "Let's continue watching."

Elliot slid the mouse and magnified the game screen on the phone.

"Moonlight Knight, this is Jayden's game ID," Elliot said. "Let's see which server he's on."

Elliot directly closed the game.

"Huh? What's going on?" In the room, Jayden looked at the suddenly black screen of his phone with a bewildered expression. "Why did the game suddenly quit?"

However, he didn't suspect anything, thinking it was a network problem, so he logged back into the game.

[Please select server: Obsidian Server.]

Jayden selected "Obsidian Server", then entered his account and password, and clicked login.

And all these operations were seen clearly by Elliot.

"Obsidian Server."

Elliot noted down the server name and then began downloading the game client for "Miracle MU".

Five or six minutes later, the game download was complete.

Elliot began installing the game.

During this time, Emma came out of the kitchen and saw Elliot and Brother-in-law in the study, so she asked curiously, "What are you two doing?"

"We're discussing how to help Jayden quit his gaming addiction," Victor explained, then added, "Don't make a sound and let Jayden know."

Emma looked at them suspiciously, then glanced at the computer.

She couldn't understand it, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

The game installation was complete, and Elliot logged into the game, selected "Obsidian Server", and created a new game character—

[Character ID: Big Saber Slashes Towards Devils

Character Level: Level 1

Equipment: Cloth clothes, wooden stick]

Next, Elliot opened a cheating program.

"I played this game for a while before, so I developed a cheat program myself," Elliot explained to Brother-in-law.

On the interface of the cheating program, there were various function options.

Elliot checked the options for "10000x Experience" and "Equipment Drop Rate 100%".

"Jayden is currently level 70. He's on the third floor of the Lost Tower. This map has a level restriction, and our level can't get in, so we have to level up first."

As Elliot spoke, he controlled the game character.

He controlled the character to walk out of the novice village, come outside the city, and find a group of small spiders.

"Bang!"

With one strike, a small spider fell to the ground in response.

A dazzling golden light immediately rose from Elliot's character, and his level increased to Level 6.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Elliot controlled his character, charging left and right through the monster horde, one strike per monster, and his experience value soared.

In less than 20 minutes, Elliot's character had reached Level 60.

Moreover, he was wearing a set of dazzling golden top-tier equipment.

"Your cheat is too powerful!" Victor looked at Elliot's operation, unable to hide his surprised expression.

Elliot just smiled and didn't explain.

"Alright, the level is high enough, let's go meet him now."

Elliot glanced at the monitoring screen.

"Moonlight Knight" was still on the third floor of the Lost Tower.

Elliot directly teleported, and his character was transported to the third floor of the Lost Tower.

Upon reaching the third floor, he ran wildly and quickly found "Moonlight Knight".

Without a word, Elliot directly controlled his character, swinging the big saber in his hand, and slashed towards "Moonlight Knight"!

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

After three slashes, "Moonlight Knight" fell into a pool of blood before he could even react.

"Holy crap! Who the hell ambushed me!" Jayden's cursing came from the next room.

Hearing the cursing, Elliot smiled.

"We'll wait here. Jayden will definitely come back," Elliot said.

Through the monitoring window, it could be seen that after "Moonlight Knight" resurrected in the city, he immediately teleported back to the third floor of the Lost Tower and ran over aggressively.

"Bring it on!"

Elliot was already prepared and calmly raised his big saber.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

After another three slashes, "Moonlight Knight" once again fell into a pool of blood.

"Ah! I'm so angry!" Jayden's loud shout came from the room.

Killed twice in a row.

He was furious and frustrated.

After resurrecting again, Moonlight Knight once again teleported to the third floor of the Lost Tower, shouting "Wah wah" as he charged towards 'Big Saber Slashes Towards Devils'.

However, there was still no suspense this time.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Moonlight Knight once again fell into a pool of blood.
