America: Starting with Daily Intelligence
Chapter 46 - 46 46 The King's Vehicle

46: Chapter 46 The King’s Vehicle 46: Chapter 46 The King’s Vehicle This software is actually nothing special, mainly used for information positioning and purchasing Fullz data packages which are open-sourced and have limited influence, mainly functional only in Los Angeles.

Outside of that, it doesn’t work well.

Fullz, which means a complete identity package.

Fullz usually contains full name, date of birth, home address, phone number, social security number, driver’s license number, family member information, financial details, and other personal information.

On the Dark Web, the price for one identity package is about $5-25, depending on the value of the information.

For ordinary vehicle information, it only costs 5-10 cents; with a few hundred US Dollars, you can buy a package with the DMV’s back-end information for a unit, which typically entails updates on vehicle status within a normal community over a period of 3-5 years.

In the Rich District, however, a relatively expensive price needs to be paid due to all the private luxury vehicles.

This software is also built on the foundation of information utilization and software function integration, and a programmer team with some computer technology can generally handle it.

It is a common software in grey market transactions.

The administrators of the vt software are quite lazy, much of the information updates are delayed.

Information from several years ago is still in use and is not accurate; coverage also only applies to ordinary communities in Los Angeles and has been infiltrated by police officers who have started to use entrapment.

If you don’t activate Stealth Mode upon going online, you might be caught red-handed by an officer.

Activating Stealth Mode requires periodic payments: 60 cents per minute, $1.2 per hour, $28.8 for 24 hours.

Allen Zhang seriously suspects the police are involved, forcing you to use Stealth Mode.

In person, face-to-face, they will ask you why you logged into this software, where you downloaded it from, what your intentions are, and where your accomplices are.

They lock you in the interrogation room and severely ‘reward’ you.

Allen Zhang fiddled with it a few more times, then heard braking noises outside and looked up to see two guys on bicycles entering the alley.

The two greeted a few people first, then immediately complained, “What are you guys doing?

Why did you ask us to come back?

We were about to settle the deal there, the other party was willing to pay $69 for that bicycle!”

Seeing the delivery arrive, Allen Zhang immediately got up, pushed past several people, went over, grabbed the bicycle’s brakes to prevent them from escaping on the bike.

After examining it for a few moments, he noted that the bicycle was undamaged except for a vandalized lock.

Seeing the bewildered Black kid, Allen Zhang placed his hand on his shoulder and calmly said, “Not bad with the lock-picking skills, bro.”

“WTF!

Where did you come from…

Ouch!

Shit!!

It hurts…”

The Black kid initially wanted to curse out loudly.

The next second, he felt like his shoulder was being pinched by iron pliers, immediately silenced, and he cried out in agony.

Allen Zhang, supporting the bicycle with one hand and forcefully gripping the shoulder of the kid with the other, pinned him to the ground, and said with a mockingly pleasant demeanor, “What did you say?

I didn’t catch that.

Could you please repeat it more carefully, okay?”

The other guy was dumbfounded.

Noticing his companions’ indifference, he quickly sensed something was wrong, hurriedly got off his bike, and yelled, “Hey!

Stop beating him!

That bike is yours!”

“It was mine from the beginning!!”

Allen Zhang gave him a fierce glance and taking another look at the bicycle with a butterfly sticker, he became interested, “Was this bike also stolen by you guys?”

“I bought this,” the White kid tried to be tough, but under Allen Zhang’s intimidating gaze, feeling his hair stand on end, he had to admit honestly, “Okay, I got it through a Zero-Dollar Purchase from a bicycle shop two weeks ago, and there haven’t really been any issues so far.”

“Are you an undercover officer from the Southern Branch?” The scared Black kid looked up and asked, suddenly suspecting that they had been caught in an entrapment.

“This bike is mine now.” Allen Zhang ignored the Black kid and decisively claimed the White kid’s bicycle.

He had been worried about not having a mode of transportation, and here was someone delivering one right to him.

He released the subdued Black kid, pushed him aside, sat on it and took it for a test ride around the alley, satisfied with the feel.

Very pleased, Allen Zhang turned to the others and said, “This street is my territory now, without my permission, you are not allowed to commit crimes nearby, nor are you allowed to pick up any cans, my people will take over here, got it?”

“As long as you’re nearby, I can always find your location through VT rewards, don’t think you can escape.

Better stay far, far away!

The farther, the better!”

Little Black Kid and the white guy glanced back at their companions, realizing they were stumped and didn’t have a comeback, understanding they had hit an iron plate as they were beaten by one person on their own turf!

Having no face to demand their turf back, all they could do was to leave the alley with their heads hanging low.

Watching them leave, Allen Zhang was riding his butterfly-stickered bike, holding Simone’s bike with one hand, and took a photo to send to her.

Allen Zhang: The vehicle of a king!

Simone: Where did you get this TREK Butterfly?

Allen Zhang: Trek Butterfly?

My bike is indeed a Trek road brand, but it’s not any Butterfly, just randomly stickered.

He considered himself knowledgeable about bike brands.

The fame of the Trek Butterfly is mainly hyped up by marketing accounts.

In 2009, Armstrong rode a Trek bike with actual butterfly specimens in a race, and got reported by an animal conservation group, later that bike was auctioned off for 500k US Dollars.

Spending hundreds of thousands of US Dollars on a bike, unless you are filthy rich or simply trying to launder money for tax deductions, you’d definitely be considered an idiot.

Simone: A counterfeit TREK is still a mid-high end brand, much better than my Target generic bike.

Allen Zhang: I got this bike from some homeless folks on the street; they gave it to me.

Simone was instantly silenced by him.

Gave it to you?

More like you snatched it, right?

Why don’t they give one to me?

Simone: Your bike indeed isn’t priced high, I checked, it’s only worth about 200 US Dollars.

Allen Zhang: You call that not high?

People only offered 69 US Dollars for your bike.

Simone: What do you mean?

You sold my Target folding bike?

Allen Zhang immediately explained what happened on his side and presented his accomplishment.

Allen Zhang: If it wasn’t for my hard fists, your bike surely wouldn’t have been retrieved!

Simone: You did great, darling!

I hope next time you don’t leave your bike by the road, especially in places without cameras and where it’s crowded, that’s really foolish.

Allen Zhang: Then where should I park?

In your heart?

Black Girl was instantly speechless.

Unsure whether she was moved by such cheesy pickup lines or not.

Allen Zhang then sent his current coordinates to Dominic, briefly informing him of what happened here, suggesting he could bring people to sweep the area, and asking if he has started his operations.

This truly scared Dominic.

Dominic: Buddy!

Your efficiency is too high, took over another street?

If it continues like this, we might run out of manpower!

I’m currently in Leo’s street, Leo also brought a female companion, saying she wants to join us.

Allen Zhang: You handle it, after all, you are the second in command in our team, don’t need to tell me everything about personnel deployment.

Once the turf grows stronger and we have enough hands, there’ll be no need to toil outside, you can just sit back and collect money!

Dominic: I feel we shouldn’t rest, it’s more grounding to have things to do!

Allen Zhang: Do as you see fit.

He then asked about Sieg’s situation, learned that his first day on duty went quite well, he picked up over two hundred bottles, praised him, and ended the chat.

As long as the Beggar Gang Disciples are willing to work hard, life for the General Sect Leader will only get better in the future.

After packing up Simone’s bike into a foldable bundle, Allen Zhang hit the road on his Trek Butterfly.
