Ting opened his system and went to the shop. He went through the shop and found some interesting stuff.
He could buy some defense mechanisms that will automatically protect him if he had been traced. He could even buy something that will assist him in breaking through firewalls, unfortunately, this was also a one time use.
However, they would be very useful for him in the near future. The good part was that it wasn’t too expensive, however, it also didn’t come cheap. Both cost 500 Credits for one use. Once you buy one it would be stored in the system and all he needed to do was to go to his system and use it.
However, that wasn’t the only thing that was intriguing. What he missed the first time when he first got his system was that the system could also be upgraded. However, it had a pretty hefty price tag, upgrade the system level by one.
What he learned from the description of the system upgrade was that his systems level was level 0, and it didn’t show up until he upgraded his system level. Fortunately, Ting decided to explore the shop. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know that he could upgrade his system.
The description of the system upgrade didn’t say what it would add when it upgraded, however, using his game knowledge, if you upgrade something, it will get better stats. Ting used this way of think to think of countless things that might be added.
Unfortunately, Ting could only stare at the price tag as it costs a whopping 10, 000 SC. Ting could only wait for the time he saves up enough to upgrade his system.
“I guess I need to save up enough to upgrade my system.” Ting thought as he opened up his missions menu and was eager to look for missions that gave a decent sum of System Credits.
Oh, this one is pretty good.

“It has a linked mission and will reward me 1000 System Credits. In addition, I will take the hacking course and improve my hacking skills.” Ting told himself. “But then again, I will need to pay to enroll into the course.” Ting felt a bit sour but felt that it would be worth it to improve his hacking abilities.
[“You have accepted the mission.”]
Ting accepted the mission. Since Ting decided to take the mission he also went to enter the learning dimension to take the Hacking course. When he arrived in the learning dimension, he went to the interface on the table and searched for the course on hacking.
He found the advanced hacking course and found out that it cost 1000 System Credits. He lightly bit his lower lip as he chose to enroll into the course.
–
After a couple of days, he finished the Advanced Hacking course. What he learned was to efficiently break through firewalls and how to protect himself if he gets compromised, and many other skills.
[“You have completed the mission”]
[“You have received 1750 System Credits”]

“Just a 1000 System Credits? I thought it would have been a little bit higher.” Ting said. “However, this would take a while though. Creating antivirus software isn’t all that easy. But, it will only take time for me though.”
“Wait a minute, it didn’t say it had to work. Maybe all I need to do is to create a program that will look like an antivirus program but, will actually only create a backdoor to their computers.” Ting had a realization, a moment of genius flashed before him. “This won’t even take a few weeks. I could finish it in a couple of days.

[“Mission has been completed”]
[“You have been rewarded”]
After a couple of days, six to be exact. It took longer for him to finish because he wanted his anti-virus to look good so people would think it was a legit service. He took a beginner graphical user interface course, and after that, he took the Intermediate GUI course. This alone cost him 1500 System Credits.
Ting’s heart was kinda bleeding when he thought about it but when he thought of the beautiful UI (User Interface) he has now for his anti-virus.
His anti-virus UI theme was tones of blue. There was a scan button that scanned their files for any malicious files. However, it actually didn’t do anything other than scanning their files. Even if it detected something malicious. It would do absolutely nothing.
Ting thought that if he creates a better antivirus software in the future he would make it the best antivirus to date.
The software has an option on making an account to help track when they last scanned their files. They had to input an email and a password.
The reason why Ting had an option to create an account is that he could store these passwords and emails. Many people usually use the same password for almost everything. Ting will take advantage of this and if he needs to he could steal some information about people if he enters their email accounts and other sites accounts.
Maybe he could steal and sell League of Legends accounts if they have the same password.
Ting went online and created a website for his new anti-virus. he called it ‘Sleeping Bears Anti Virus’. It took him a couple of hours to add in fake information onto the website.
On the website, he put a relatively large download button. Finally, he added some nice background music onto the site. The music played was a nice and relaxing tune just like sitting under a tree feeling the nice and cool breeze on a hot day.
It was just like Ting happily stealing information and creating backdoors on people’s computers just like the swift and cool breeze.
–
Meanwhile, unsuspecting victims visited the ‘Sleeping Bears Antivirus’ website. They read some information on the site and wanted to download this new software. Some smarter people decided to take a ‘wait and see’ approach to this new software.
These people were those who had lucked out that they hadn’t downloaded the antivirus, otherwise they would have had their computers infected and have a backdoor.
Ting thought that he needed some money and decided that to be less suspicious to his mom about where the money appeared from. Because money does not just grow on trees.
Ting thought of many ideas and decided to create a small company so he could at least have an excuse of where the money he got comes from.
“Let’s call this company ‘PenguinGames’. the company would be about games for now and involve more things in the future.
