‘Upgrade complete’
‘The firewall is ready for use’
Lily smacked her lips together as a smile appeared on her face. She will be leaving for school in a few hours and the journey to get everything back will officially begin, she needs to finish up everything she had started at home before leaving.
As her fingers danced across the keyboard, codes appeared and disappeared on the screen in a blur. Soon, a castle interface materialised, the details rendered in intricate detail. It was as if she had painted a masterpiece on the screen, her fingers the brush and the keyboard her canvas. With a final flourish, she hit enter, and the program came to life. She sat back with satisfaction.
She worked with purposeful efficiency, assigning different rooms to different functions within the castle. There were defence towers, control rooms, and storage rooms, all meticulously designed and rendered. Once she was satisfied with the preparations, she sent the program to Alpha for his team’s testing system.
Sinful: Here is the complete product. I attached the procedure and guides to the function of the different rooms. Have your team test it out and give me feedback as soon as possible. I will be off for a few days and I might not be available to make corrections.
{I can always do the testing for your product and you just have to send out finished products} the system suggested as Lily sent out the message.
“Can you test it?” Lily asked in surprise. “Aren’t you just living in my head?”
{Although I don’t have a physical appearance at the moment due to my low level, I can materialise into the world and I can connect to the internet, so testing the firewall should be easy}
“Alright, I will allow you to test others from now on, by the way, how many upgrade points do you need to move to the next level?” She asked curiously, seeing how it hadn’t shown any sign of upgrading.
{I need 1000 points to get to level one and 10000 points to get to level two}
“What? Why is it so much? Your mission doesn’t give so many points and you need that many? Will it take all eternity for you to upgrade? Your creator is a…” she trailed off knowing that it was thanks to the creator that she was able to be reborn.
Feeling aggrieved, the system let out a sigh. {At the moment you are only getting the lowest level missions and they give little rewards. Once I upgrade to level 1, you will start the main system mission, for now, you should get used to using the system}
A beeping sound coming from the computer drew Lily’s attention back to the website. She noticed Alpha wasn’t online and exited their chat. She froze up as she noticed the many private message notifications she got.
“What happened here? Did I suddenly become a celebrity or what?” She muttered to herself as she clicked on the first message. “You are the best! No one has dared to ever expose Sunset like that!” As she read the message, she remembered she had truly set a trap for sunset and it was the perfect time to ripe.
She had been so busy that she wasn’t paying much attention to the happenings on the website. She clicked on more messages and realised most of them were praising her while some were warning her to be careful of Sunset and his friends.
She exited the message interface and went to the main page, where hackers of different levels connect or post announcements.
Her eyes caught an announcement tagged with her name and she smirked as she realised that it was a post from Sunset making her take the blame for the failed work.
#A NEWBIE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEWBIE. WHY WOULD YOU TAKE ON A JOB THAT YOU AREN’T CAPABLE OF DOING EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY GOT LUCKY WITH THE FIRST ONE? AS A SENIOR I WILL ADVISE YOU NOT TO ALWAYS BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW!#
#I TOLD YOU THAT TAKING ON THE JOB WAS MORE THAN YOUR LEVEL AND YOU SHOULD BE PATIENT AND LEARN, BUT YOU INSISTED ON DOING IT, NOW SEE?#
Alongside the post, he uploaded some pictures of his chat with ‘Sinful’
Lily laughed as she read the posts. Knowing Sunset’s temperament she knew he wouldn’t double-check before pushing the blame on her, which made paying the trap easier than it would normally be.
Normally, Sunset always leaves his signature on every job he does and he was sure it would be a success. Having fallen into his trap in the last life, Lily knew the way he operated and left his permanent signature on the project later that day. Which was what probably exposed his scheme.
Lily clicked on the post and scrolled through the comments to see some people dissing her.
‘They are trying to jump high after getting lucky once how shameless’
‘They probably thought their beginner’s luck would last longer. Although I still don’t understand why Sunset is posting this here. It’s none of our business
‘@up there, Sinful hasn’t been online ever since they completed the job. Besides, isn’t Sunset known for ‘putting the newbie in their place’ Sinful is just another one of those. How pitiful’
‘Shy! Are you trying to get under his radar? Do you want to be targeted? Most people know the truth!’
‘@Sunset, don’t be a scum who throws the blame on others! I have seen the prophecy and it has all your signatures all over it! Guess you fell into your own trap. How amusing’
‘@Sunset, are you trying to make a fool of yourself? Posting fake pictures on a platform with people who do something similar every day? Or do you think we will be blinded by your half-ass conversation?’
‘@Sunset, You are truly shameless! You want another victim after the several ones you had! How does it feel to fall into your scheme?’
‘@Sinful, post the real conversation. By the way, I’m a fan of yours now. This guy has been running rampant for a while now but we never had any evidence
Like noticed that the last four people who tagged Sunset and herself were all Red Medal hackers, they had probably been attracted to the case due to Sunset’s new level up. Gathering the evidence she had kept for a day like this, Lily made a post.
#@SUNSET YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER WHO TOOK AND DID THE JOB, ISN’T THAT WHY YOU GOT PROMOTED? DON’T LUMP ME IN YOUR DISGRACE! #Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
#WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WARNED ME? DID I REACH OUT TO YOU? WEREN’T YOU THE ONE YOU CAME TO ME? I TOLD YOU I WAS A NEWBIE AND YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD SHOW ME ONE OR TWO THINGS. NOW YOU WANT ME TO TAKE THE BLAME FOR YOUR FAILURE? IN YOUR DREAMS!#
As she posted the second one she attached the screenshot of their conversation to it.
#@Sunset, you two-faced idiot! You took the money and site credit and then immediately pointed to me for doing the project. Who do you take us for? Stupid?#
#It was good I listened to my friend and watched out for you! Otherwise, I would have been smeared with dirt for the rest of my life! Shameless asshole!#
#Come at me if you dare! @Sunset!”
As she posted the last one she got a message from Alpha.
Alpha: It looks quite entertaining with you all over the platform’s main page. Do you want me to handle it for you?
