Adrian stopped his finger after continuously typing for a dozen minutes.[Hacking Successful]“Time for the main event.” Adrian's voice was quiet, but there was a dangerous confidence behind it because he had finally collected everything he needed, and now he no longer wanted to sit quietly while other people decided what happened to him.He stared at the website for another moment before taking a breath and making his move, locking the public-facing site into a maintenance state that prevented normal visitors from accessing it and replacing the usual homepage with a single message that would be impossible for the university to ignore.He then attached the evidence he had collected. The scholarship allocations, the suspicious transfers, the internal records, and the financial trail connecting those missing funds to Barnaby J. Nordenfelt.Then placed a final statement at the center of the page.{BARNABY J. NORDENFELT — VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO — IS A FRAUD.}For years

It was already past 11:00 A.M. When the professor finally wrapped up the lecture, and the moment he dismissed the class, Kaitlyn leaned back in her chair and stretched both arms above her head with an exhausted expression, letting out a quiet sigh.“Ah! Finally. I honestly thought that lecture was never going to end.” Kaitlyn rubbed her shoulders and rolled her neck from side to side, clearly relieved that she could finally leave the classroom after sitting in the same position for nearly two hours.“Don't get too excited. We still have another lecture later today.” Adrian looked at her with a small smile, already mentally preparing himself for another few hours of sitting through classes before he could finally head home.“It got canceled. Didn't you check the group chat? Professor Miller sent the message almost an hour ago.” Kaitlyn immediately turned toward him and raised an eyebrow.“What is this luck? When I had a job, every lecture somehow lasted until four in the afternoon, and

System.The familiar black interface appeared in front of Adrian, its golden lettering glowing softly against the bright interior of the Apple Store.[Hacking System][Host: Adrian Miles][System level: 2]— — — — —[Skills:][Hacking level: Advanced]Adrian glanced from the system panel toward the rows of expensive laptops displayed in front of him and then back at the interface, quietly considering his options before finally deciding to ask the one question that actually mattered.Would you recommend that I buy a MacBook for hacking, or should I get something else, like a Lenovo or an ASUS ROG?[For processing performance, Lenovo or ASUS ROG models may provide stronger hardware in certain configurations. However, a high-end MacBook will still significantly increase the processing power currently available to you.]Adrian stared at the answer for several seconds before letting out a long sigh.Sigh! Such a complicated answer. Close.Adrian walked toward the MacBook display, and Rebecc

Rebecca looked up at Adrian, and a small smile appeared on her face.“That's probably why you caught my attention. Seeing you at the Apple Store today was different. You were genuinely excited. You weren't pretending to be impressed because you wanted someone to think you were rich. You were excited because you had wanted something for years and finally got the chance to buy it. I could actually see how happy you were.”Rebecca continued, speaking slowly as though she were trying to understand the feeling herself while explaining it.“I've never looked at a phone that way. To me, it's always just been a phone. But watching you hold it, hearing you talk about finally being able to buy what you wanted, seeing how happy you were about something so simple... it made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. It made me want to be excited too.”She looked down at her food for a moment before continuing.“I want to experience that feeling of wanting something badly and then finally get
