Chapter 38 Learning makes me happy
Hannah has always paid attention to the fact that antiperspirant lotion and beeswax are the two most consumed items in her daily cosmetics. Of course, she may now add toilet water.
But now that the relationship between the two has been made clear, Jack naturally cannot favor one over the other. It is Hannah's turn to have the healing skills that both Zoe and Maureen have enjoyed.
Asking her to take a shower first, Jack went upstairs and took out a few bottles of floral essential oil, which is a specialty of the southwestern province of Seris. A small bottle can be purchased online for $60 on Amazon.
Jack had bought 3 bottles before. He planned to use the rose one for the mature and beautiful Zoe, the jasmine-flavored one for the intellectual girl with glasses, and the last bottle of wild orange and peppermint essential oil was for her. Prepared by sunny and sweet Hannah.
I don't know if someone's massage skills are getting better or if the atmosphere is too ambiguous. In short, when Jack finished performing the treatment, Hannah's cheeks were so red that they could bleed and her resentful eyes were so hard to look at, and he couldn't help but Don't run away.
After a quick cold shower, Jack lay on the bed and silently recited "Study makes me happy" several times before calming down and reading "Friends of Dual-Use Talents". He wanted to point out the skills related to house decoration as soon as possible.
Although the procedures for real estate transactions in Meiliguo are complicated, the system is mature and the full transaction speed is quite fast. It is expected to be completed within two weeks.
Jack has limited cash on hand and now has to take out a large loan. It is impossible to hire a decoration company. He plans to clean up slowly after moving in and buy materials bit by bit to renovate by himself. This is also what most beautiful Chinese people do. Common practice.
Thinking of the problem of funds, Jack took an old laptop from the table, opened it and logged into a virtual currency website. Inside was the largest investment he made when he first traveled through time three years ago, for 200 knives. For the price of one, 30 Bitcoins were purchased.
Starting in 2017 last year, the price of Bitcoin began to gradually rise. Jack plans to sell all of it in two to three years, that is, around 2021, before the United States imposes taxes on Bitcoin.
Given that the background of the American TV series is not much different from the previous life, it is expected that the price of one Bitcoin will reach about 60,000 U.S. dollars by then, which means that he may make a profit of about 1.8 million U.S. dollars at most.
The system had not yet been activated at that time. Jack used the time traveler's foresight to preset this escape route for himself. It was not that he did not want to earn more, but that he was worried that if he made more, he would not be able to maintain his small body.
Jack, who lived for more than forty years in his previous life, knew very well that some dreams were destined to be nothing but dreams. No matter which country the dream was from, the wealth he possessed could not match his ability and status, and would only become a source of disaster. the root of.
Closing the notebook, Jack began to truly immerse himself in the joy of learning. Although mental power cannot directly bring about improvement in intelligence, being able to enter a state of high concentration at any time is already what many students dream of. Plugged in.
With the system's attribute gains, Jack now only needs one hour a day to cope with community college courses. At the same time, due to the shortened sleep time, he has a full 5 hours more time every day than ordinary people.
On the third and last day of vacation, Jack drove to Zoe’s house with rose essential oil.
After some tenderness, Zoe, who was radiant again, snuggled into Jack's arms and looked at the ceiling absently, as if her soul was still lingering in heaven.
“When are you and Maureen going to announce it? Do I have to prepare wedding gifts for you in advance?”
Jack’s smile was very strange. Since Maureen learned about the two People's plans, he always has the illusion that he has become a supporting character in Japanese comics.
Zoe, who came to her senses, gave the guy who had taken advantage of him a hard bite, which made him grin with pain. "Has Hannah told you everything about her? Tell me what you think."
Jack roughly repeated the conversation between him and Hannah, and added: "Everything Wait until she comes back from Quantico, and I don’t recommend that Hannah inquire about this case through the FBI’s internal system.”
He remembered that in the plot of “Jack Reacher”, there was an FBI agent. If Hannah's private investigation is discovered, her safety will be threatened. He knows very well how vicious the counterfeit banknote group is from some of the restricted scenes in the play. clear.
Of course he had to make up a suitable reason: "Since there is a congressman behind this criminal group, its tentacles may also have extended into the FBI, otherwise Hannah's parents and the Environmental Protection Agency investigator It’s impossible for the FBI to have no reaction if someone is killed.”
As if she thought Jack's speculation was reasonable, Zoe frowned in annoyance.
“My dad also made inquiries through some connections, but was blocked by the superiors. Over the years, I also used the resources in the police station to conduct some investigations, but there was no progress.”
Jack stretched out a finger, gently rubbed her frown away, and said in relief.
“I just helped you get rid of the fine lines on your forehead, so you don’t have to wrinkle it all the time. Leave this to me.”
Zoe looked at her little man with some confusion, not her. She looked down on Jack, but even her family and herself as a middle-level police officer couldn't do something. Where did Jack, who had just become an ordinary patrol officer, get the confidence.
"Looking for hackers, haven't you ever thought about it?"
Jack answered matter-of-factly, but stopped Zoe in his tracks.
“You are all thinking about tit for tat, why are you still limited in thinking to using legal means and directly paying hackers to find out who the actual controller of Kleiner Industries is? It’s easy to handle.”
This is really not what Jack takes for granted. Hackers in the world of American TV series are omnipotent, such as "CSI", "NCIS", "Bones" and so on. Crime dramas all have computer experts with powerful abilities as backup for the protagonists.
This world is a mess of all kinds of American dramas, and the timeline is very messy. Except for some old dramas with special backgrounds and a long time ago, such as "Hunter", most of the others have either not started yet, or Just getting started.
For example, NCIS - Naval Criminal Investigative Service, online shows that it was just established five years ago, and the current person in charge is a middle-aged aunt. The Jeffersonian Society in "Bones" does exist, but its forensic science laboratory is still limited to rumor.
Jack even Googled a certain genius software engineer - Harold Finch. His partner Nathan is a well-known rich man in the United States. Information about him can be easily found online. It is rumored that his The company is currently cooperating with the FBI and is committed to developing a project specifically designed to respond to terrorist attacks. It can be naturally inferred that Uncle Li, who likes to keep a straight face and act cool like Tim, is probably still working for the CIA.
