“This guy.” Irina murmured to herself as she watched Morse's receding back. “It’s really annoying.” Every time I talk to him, no matter what happens, he always touches my nerves. 'Just wait and see, sooner or later you will be in trouble.' She hated being rendered speechless, she hated being unable to refute what he said, and she hated his expressionless face. Most of all, she hated every second she spent with him. bite! Just then, her watch rang with a notification sound. [Julia: Did you know that Victor's family is hosting a party this weekend? ]
This is the message in the group chat. 'The party? When?' She thought to herself. She had no recollection of Victor ever mentioning a party. [Ethan: This is the first time I’ve heard of it.] [Lucas: Same as above, totally unaware.] Looking at these messages, it seems that Victor did not invite them either. [Julia: Huh? I thought he informed everyone.] “Tsk!” She read the message and couldn't help but smack her tongue. Who doesn't know why Victor only invited Julia? Even the person pretending to be stupid knows it. "What's so good about her?" She didn't understand at all. Why was he so obsessed with her? What was so good about her? 'Would you like to have your hair cut, too?' She touched her braided hair and wondered, Does he like short hair? 'No, I would never imitate anyone.' Irina would never imitate anyone. Her self-esteem would not allow her to do so, even for someone she liked. Finally, she cursed at the air and sent a message in the group chat while walking... ...... After meeting Irina, I returned to my room. So why don’t I ask for something other than money?
The reason is simple. For a top wealthy family like Irina, money is just a string of numbers unless the amount is astronomical. Moreover, the value of any one of her jewelry was far more than the amount I asked for, not to mention the other equipment. Therefore, getting the money to invest in stocks and the future is the best option. In addition, if I asked for a skill, if it was a low-level skill, she would not refuse, but she would inevitably be reluctant. This sense of charity will hurt her self-esteem and will be detrimental to maintaining the relationship. Although she is arrogant and annoying, she will be an important figure in the future. It is best to maintain the relationship now, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. As for equipment, I have no idea what to use right now, and until I figure out the [Moon] thing, I won't go looking for equipment. That's why I didn't ask for skills and equipment, but money. Besides, I just happen to need money now. I opened my laptop and checked my emails in my room while looking for stocks. Lately, I have been obsessed with the stock market and guilds, hoping to speculate on some events in the game that are related. While I haven’t used the stock system in the game, there are some small events that I am aware of and I’ve been waiting for them to create opportunities for me. ———— Dark Web: Launching Connect to the server ———— Thanks to an ID card I had obtained on the black market, I was able to register an account on the dark web, which is basically the hidden corner of the internet. After opening the website, I saw countless encrypted pictures, small advertisements and inhumane transactions, but these were not my goal. ＜Tribe＞ Click on the label and a line of small words will appear on the screen. “From hacking services to dark trading, almost everything you want to find is here.” They are still a small and unknown organization. This is a website made up of constantly changing codes. This website is not yet famous, it is a hacker group that is good at calculation and magic frequency manipulation. Although it is a small organization at present, it can bring down the top hacker group in the future, which is exactly the force I need to lay out in advance. ———— Member Service - Single Commission Such organizations usually offer membership and one-time services. In order to establish a long-term relationship, I decided to directly open the highest level membership. ———— Beep! Beep! Beep! After quickly completing the account binding, the payment interface pops up.
———— Confirm to activate [Oracle] level membership? whether ———— I immediately clicked the "yes" button and watched my money disappear from my account. 'And just like that, 100,000 Vale are gone. But it was a worthwhile investment.' One hundred thousand Valer for one member may seem exaggerated, but in the future this number will skyrocket to hundreds of millions. As one of the first senior members, the importance the organization attaches to me will be completely different. bite! [Message request from 'Tribe'.] Soon, I received my results... ...... In a dim underground hideout, hidden beneath a bustling city, the air is filled with the smell of stale coffee and the hum of multiple mainframes operating. Wires were tangled around the room, connected to terminal monitors, each of which displayed lines of code and encrypted information. Neon lights and digital art posters hang on the walls. Tribe members huddle in gaming chairs, the clacking of mechanical keyboards echoing. Jane, a clever, prankster hacker with braided hair, sat leisurely in her chair, her eyes scanning the data stream on her screen. Suddenly, a notification popped up on her monitor. "What is this?" she muttered to herself, not taking it seriously at first. Alex, a tech genius and cryptography whiz, raised an eyebrow. "It's probably a reminder for rent or utilities. Ignore it for now." But Mark's breathing suddenly became heavy. The tall and thin young man who was good at breaking through the firewall stared at the screen and noticed the notification. Out of curiosity, he opened the message, his eyes widened in disbelief. "No! Everyone stop! This is not an ordinary notification. Someone has opened a [Oracle] level membership!" Mark exclaimed, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious. silence The room suddenly fell silent, the shocking news leaving everyone silent. "Someone has opened a [Oracle] level membership? That's impossible." At first, no one believed it. After all, when setting up this membership option, no one expected that anyone would buy it. “Yeah…what lunatic would spend a hundred thousand Valer on a site like ours,” another young man in a hat said while inhaling a mosquito coil. In the shocked silence that filled the room, Mark's face turned serious and he gathered everyone again. "See for yourself." Mark turned the screen towards everyone, and the golden certification logo shone brightly in the darkness. Jane, Alex, and the others stared at the Oracle-level membership logo in disbelief. As they realized the sudden income, they began to truly understand the meaning of the situation. “Someone paid a hundred thousand Valer for this,” Mark said, his tone tinged with awe. "Is this true?" Alex said, still unable to believe it. "Yeah, but why us?" Jane asked, her mind racing.
A discussion broke out in the room. They realized that this unexpected income could be a turning point for them, an opportunity to improve their skills, work environment, and develop themselves. The 100,000 Vale was their life, an opportunity to improve their status in the hacker world. For hunters, this money may be spent casually, but for ordinary people who stay in this room all day, this is an amount they have never seen before. "We have to make good use of it," Mark announced, breaking through the chatter. Everyone quickly made a plan. They would use part of the funds to buy new top-of-the-line computers and servers to improve their working environment. The other part would be used to strengthen their network security measures to ensure their safety under the federal supervision. "Also, promote this guy called 'Shadow Moon' to the highest level member and give him special treatment. He is the first person who trusts us so much, we'd better repay him." ...... At this moment I am staring at the 100,000 Vale that has disappeared from my account. This money will allow me to enjoy free hacking services for life. Secondly, whenever I need to request something, my request will always come first, unless there are other [Oracle]-level members. Lastly, this organization has numerous talents when it comes to hackers who will never fail in any task they take up which will bring them great reputation in the future. So, they will be of great help to me. [Tribe: If you have any requests, please let us know. We will do our best to fulfill them. ] I saw the message on the screen and started typing. [I want you to anonymously purchase the guild stocks I designate.] [Tribe: How much money should we deposit? ] [One hundred thousand Vale is enough. I will transfer the amount to you.] [Tribe: Got it. Any other requests? ] 【No.】 [Tribe: Got it, we are waiting for you. ] After the chat ended, I sent them the Emily Guild's stock link and deposited 100,000 Valer into their account. 'With this, the funding problem can be solved quickly.' In a week, Emily's guild will be back to strength, and with the money, she will be able to heal her father's injuries. From that point on, their rise would begin, reaching its peak within two months. 'Until they are targeted by the devil again.' Just like that, I completed my task and began to prepare to explore the dungeon.
