Chen Rou belongs to the generation that grew up with computers. By the time she was using them, the internet was already widespread, and files were transmitted online. But back in the nineties, before that, when the world ran on 2G, equipment like CDs, 3.5-inch floppy disks, and thumb drives were the only way to move data. Because network speeds were so glacial, local area networks were the primary means of sharing files.
After Chen Rou broke into HMS Tamar, the first thing she searched for was the computer mainframe. She knew Nie Jiajun had brought his laptop; as long as he could connect to the casino’s local area network, he could see everything the casino server room could see, just as he had done previously when he bypassed the police network.
However, after a moment of thought, Chen Rou realized a problem. She tapped on Nie Jiajun’s laptop and said, "But you need to use the hotel’s network, and it is incredibly slow."
