5 Learning How To Hack
"HackersHaven? This site's famous for hackers to do assignments!" Ting lost his composure. HackersHaven had a special spot for people in the gaming industry and just about every other industry.
The reason why it had a special spot for these industries was that a few years back, this massive corporation called Falve got hacked. Huge sums of money were lost due to this incident. And of course, the cause was undoubtedly hackers from HackersHaven.
Hackers love HackersHaven because they are able to do the things they love while raking in all the money from the assignments they take. However some do usually get caught but that is their fault since they didn't notice that their IP address had been tracked and recorded. But people like these make up the minority.
However if you thought that all you needed to do was to sign up, then you're wrong. There was a catch, in order to sign up you actually had to hack the registration system to create yourself an account. This way the general public won't be able to sign up.

"So I need to create an account on HackersHaven, to do so I need to learn how to hack." Ting realized that this mission wasn't as easy as it sounds.
When Ting came back to his senses he remembered that he was still in the learning dimension. He noticed that Hua Zhao was still in the room so he was a bit embarrassed since he totally forgot about her.
"Ms. Zhao, do you teach any programming languages? If you do," Ting paused. " could you teach me? Ting asked with an expression like one would use to stare at a piece of gold on display.
The reason? It was, of course, to try and cheat the system so he wouldn't need to spend system credits.
"As a matter of fact, I do." Hua Zhao said with a demeanor of an educated woman. "But, obviously need to enroll into the course before I could teach you."
Ting's was obviously a little sad, but he could say he tried. If you don't try how would you know that it wouldn't work out. Just like asking out a girl you liked or if you are a girl, a boy out. If you don't take the first step someone might be ahead of you. If you're rejected then so be it, you've tried while some people regret that they didn't ask. Who knew how it would turn out.
Getting back on topic, Ting calculated the time that had passed on Earth was close to 16 hours. He did some math inside his head and he found that it was 5:15 PM. Ting was starving since he used quite a bit of mental power when he was concentrating on fixing the computers during the simulation.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to teach me later," Ting said with a bit of a disappointed expression. But when he thought a bit about the fast food he was going to eat, he became a little more energized.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you." Hua Zhao replied. Ting then chose to exit the learning dimension. His conscience slowly faded and he found himself back in his apartment. He left his apartment to go to a BurgerQueen.
After Ting had his meal, he arrived back to his apartment building. He chose to go back to the learning dimension. When he regained conscience he went up to the courses interface on the table. He quickly found the hacking course.

"I need to take the APLC course before the Computer Hacking course?" Ting thought for a moment, but he realized that hacking wasn't all that easy. To become a hacker one needed to know multiple programming languages or how would one hack a bank.
A banks code is written in more than one programming language some banks even use six programming languages.
Ting took a look at the Intermediate APLC course and was surprised that it wasn't too cheap but he could afford it.

Ting didn't hesitate as he chose to enroll and afterward he pressed the confirm pop up. The system quickly sounded.
["Enrolment successful"]
"Hello Ting, we meet again." Hua Zhao greeted.
"Hi, let us start the course. I can't wait any longer" Ting said with slight anticipation.
"Alright, I got things on my side done. We will be working in cubicles. Since you enrolled in the course your meals will be on us." Hua Zhao informed him. A few moments later he found himself sitting in front of a desktop computer with a IDE (Independent Development Environment) already opened.
"Lets get started on Java." Hua Zhao said as the screen changed and Java had been selected. "In Java you need to declare your variables and if you ask for an integer you can't have a string put into it. Otherwise it will cause the program to create an error..."
Hua Zhao explained from the very basics as she continued educate Ting on Java. It took a few hours when he finished and Hua Zhao quickly began to teach him other programming languages. In the learning dimension it becomes very easy to learn things. Hence the name 'learning dimension'.

A couple of days had passed as Ting finally completed the course. Ting chocked his stats and noticed that in the [Skills Learnt] column, instead of the few programming languages he learned from high school and university, it was changed to All Programming Languages [Intermediate]. He also noticed a slight increase in his intelligence and typing speed.

The system sounded the moment he completed the course.
["Congratulations, for completing the course you had unlocked the All Programming Languages [Advanced] course"]
["As a reward for completing the course you have been gifted a storage dimension"]
Ting was shocked. "A storage dimension? That means I could store stuff inside it and not worry about moving my stuff around." He quickly called up his storage dimension and found out that it was about 2 square meters.
Ting was in a joyful mood as it was unexpected that in addition to learning many programming languages he also has a way to move stuff around.
Ting also didn't forget his mission; which was on creating an account on HackersHaven. He quickly went to the interface and enrolled into the hacking course.
["You have enrolled in Computer Hacking, 200 System credits had been deducted"]
His surroundings change to his room in his apartment but he knew that it wasn't his room on earth but just a replica. There reason why was because there was now a desktop computer in front of him. On the monitor was a terminal which was used for hacking.
"Don't be surprised, we just want you to be in comfort of your home." Hua Zhao said as she slowly appeared out of thin air beside Ting. "Now take a seat and I can teach you the basics and start introducing more intermediate levels of hacking.
"First Rule: Never get caught, once you get caught and they traced your IP Address it's over. You will be spending the rest of your days in prison." Hua Zhao emphasized repeatedly.
"Second: Never use your real name, use an alias. You can create one right now" Hua Zhao spoke with a curious expression as to what Ting's alias would be.
"Uhh, how about Sum Ting Wong?" Ting joked. "I'll be serious now, I'll call myself Fr3ddyB3ar since I always grown up sleeping with a teddy bear since I was little."
"Alright remember to leave your alias after you hacked something or if you don't want to take the responsibility for it then don't." Hua Zhao told him.
After the basic rules and alias got out of the way. They started as Hua Zhao taught Ting more and more. After a while, he would be testing his newly gained knowledge in a simulated setting where he would be trying to hack into some banks or game servers and lots of other stuff.
After another few days, he completed the course. At first he kept on getting caught by the other sides internet security team. But after he got taught and gained more experience he became more proficient and most of the time he had gone unnoticed when he broke through the firewalls and infiltrated his targets.
["Congratulations, you had completed the Intermediate Computer a Hacking course"]
["To celebrate you have been gifted a desktop computer for you to use for hacking and what not"]
["Reward has been sent to your storage dimension"]
Ting was quite content because he didn't have a desktop computer at home yet, but now he got one for free! Who says no to free things?
"You've worked hard!" Hua Zhao said, "I expect great achievements from you."
"Thanks for teaching me, Ms. Zhao." Ting thanked her."
"No problem you paid after all." She said with a smile.
Ting was speechless could you say something other than money like it was all due to your ability or something. Ting returned to his apartment and taken out him new desktop and placed it on a desktop and plugged it in. He connected the monitor and booted it up.
He was instantly stunned. "How could the boot time be so fast!" He thought for a moment then realized that whatever the system gives him isn't ordinary such as his storage dimension. He quickly went through the setup steps and shortly arrived on the desktop screen.
He then downloaded a web browser and the essentials he learned from the computer hacking course. He opened up the HackersHaven website. After he finished getting all his tools ready he quickly started his attempt to create an HackersHaven account.
