Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 40: Shock Across the Web! A Special Notice!
Chapter 40 - 40: Shock Across the Web! A Special Notice!
Of course, Zhang Yang didn't bother with those private messages. The British law enforcement had already gone undercover, staking out the Dragon Nation Embassy.
It wasn't going to be easy for the Dragon Head to make it home this time.
Zhang Yang logged into the Fubons Auction website. The first session of the auction was happening tonight.
The entire Fubons Auction would run for three days, featuring a total of 60 items. Each session was from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Zhang Yang found Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll on the site, listed as item No. 13, set to be auctioned tonight.
Fubons didn't need heavy promotion. They didn't rely on publicity. Just posting the schedule online was enough to attract countless registrants.
[Ding!]
[Successfully exchanged for Kaitō Kid's Limited-Time Skill — Super Hacker. Skill duration: 24 hours!]
To enter the Fubons Auction, Zhang Yang needed a valid identity.
And 70% of Fubons' security was made up of mercenaries from around the world.
Even if he tried to sneak in, they might quickly sniff him out.
"This kind of god-tier auction, let's see who's attending!"
Kaitō Kid's Super Hacker skill cost 28,000 points to activate.
But it was worth every bit.
In less than ten minutes, Zhang Yang had cracked the guest list for the Fubons Auction.
A total of 138 invitations had been sent out, and the list included names, addresses, and phone numbers.
What made him laugh was spotting a familiar name on it.
"Charles? Charles is going to the Fubons Auction too?"
Zhang Yang's eyes sparkled with interest.
Yes, the same Charles whose Serpent Head Zhang Yang had stolen before!
"This British trust-fund baby really has a thing for rare artifacts, huh?"
Zhang Yang pondered.
Fubons invitations were sent worldwide. As long as you passed their wealth verification, you'd get one.
This session of the auction would be held at a landmark in Britain—the top floor of the Kapa Building.
Zhang Yang inserted a forged identity into the invite list, making sure he'd get into the auction.
After settling the identity issue, Zhang Yang posted his signature notice on the Fubons Auction website.
"Invited to attend the Fubons Auction. I will arrive on time. I hope there's good tea to welcome me and a few special friends."
Now, the Fubons Auction homepage displayed only one thing—a full-screen image of Kaitō Kid's notice.
Zhang Yang snapped a picture of it and posted it to his feed.
Harrison hadn't slept a wink. Just as he was about to catch a nap on the sofa, the radio buzzed.
"Harrison, sir! Kaitō Kid just posted something new!"
Harrison opened his eyes, frustration building.
They were in a temporary office the British law enforcement had set up—one office, one meeting room.
He walked into the meeting room.
"Harrison, sir, Kaitō Kid dropped a new notice—he's targeting the Fubons Auction!"
"The Fubons Auction website is down. The homepage now shows only Kaitō Kid's notice!"
Hearing this, Harrison leaned in to look at the computer screen.
He couldn't believe it and refreshed the page several times—but nothing changed.
"Interesting... Kaitō Kid's a hacker now too?"
For ordinary websites, tampering with content wasn't too difficult—even beginners could pull it off.
But Zhang Yang had altered the official site of the Fubons Auction, and they had a full-fledged cybersecurity team.
A homepage at that level? You'd need real skill to break through.
"How long has his notice been on the site?"
A special agent checked the timestamp on Zhang Yang's latest post.
"Kaitō Kid posted his update two minutes ago, and the photo was already of the Fubons Auction homepage."
"So... about three minutes now!"
Harrison took a deep breath, speaking gravely, "The Fubons Auction—is it really happening tonight?"
Events like that weren't usually on his radar.
But Fubons was world-famous—he'd at least heard of it.
"Tonight at 8 p.m., on the top floor of the Kapa Building."
"Sir, should we notify the Fubons organizers?"
Harrison hesitated, wanting to wait and see.
It was still early, and with the Japanese involved too, he wanted to gauge their reaction first.
After Zhang Yang posted his new update, the Dragon Head was suddenly old news.
No one was talking about where the Dragon Head was going anymore—everyone focused on the Fubons Auction.
[Oh my god! Would Fubons really invite a master thief?]
[Donate those useless eyes—and your brain too. Obviously, Kaitō Kid hacked the Fubons site!]
[WTF? Kaitō Kid is a hacker now?]
[God, the Dragon Head isn't even recovered, and he's already making moves again!]
[Lol, not super harmful, but extremely disrespectful. This is like taking a dump right in the auction hall.]
Normally, Fubons wouldn't advertise their auctions much.
Their fame came from the rare items and outrageous sale prices.
But now, thanks to Zhang Yang, they were world news.
[I just checked—the Fubons homepage really is just Kaitō Kid's notice now!]
[No, no, no! These auctions host the world's richest people. If Kaitō Kid steals something there, the backlash will be huge!]
[Now it's time for Harrison to shine—let's see your next move!]
[The Japanese will definitely jump in too, after losing the Dragon Head. But whether Fubons lets them in? That's another story.]
[Kaitō Kid, our role model—no break until the world ends!]
Meanwhile, Fubons' IT department took the website offline.
They'd tried everything but couldn't fix the page.
After Zhang Yang posted the notice, traffic skyrocketed, making repairs even harder.
"Shit! What the hell did he use? Why can't we remove his notice from our system?"
"And we can't even force-delete his code!"
The tech staff were tearing their hair out.
As one of the world's top auctions, Fubons had powerful backers.
Having their homepage hijacked like this? It was like having crap thrown in their faces.
Not hugely damaging—but incredibly humiliating.
And the worst part? It had been over ten minutes, and they still couldn't wipe it off.
After twenty minutes of struggle, they finally restored the site.
But they didn't fix it—they deleted the entire page and rebuilt it from scratch.
