Mystic Evolution

"No, let's update the mission in the application. Only then will our mission be considered complete."

Ming Chen denied Han Wei. He wanted to ensure that they followed certain standards to establish their organisation properly from the very beginning.

"Well, that's alright."

Han Wei didn't argue back. This organisation wasn't just Ming Chen's dream; it was the dream of all three of them.

Even though he wasn't sure how much they could achieve, he wanted to see where this venture would lead them in the future.

"Hm! And I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to pay us an extra twenty thousand. We also need to store the money and start saving from the start."

Kun Ming said, feeling particularly happy with the success of their first mission.

He never dreamed of achieving such an amount in a single day.

"True, from now on, we will save 70 percent of the money from missions, and the remaining 30 percent will be spent freely. Otherwise, there's no meaning if we're in this without the freedom to spend as we wish."

Ming Chen pondered for a moment before stating. Han Wei also agreed with this approach.

Only Kun Ming felt a bit troubled about spending 30 percent of the money. He wanted to save more, but he soon shook his head, embracing the freedom that filled his eyes.

"Alright then, let's store fifty thousand, and we can use the twenty thousand for our celebration."

Ming Chen smiled, giving a hooray of happiness. The other two also joined him in the celebration.

The amount of time it took them to complete this mission was just four hours, and they had returned to their apartment by 11 am. Along the way, they stopped at an ATM to withdraw the cash in 50 thousand.

"Store the cash first."

Kun Ming said as he opened the digital locker they had recently purchased.

Ming Chen stored the cash, and then they all sat near their computer to update the mission in their application.

Their application had four sections overall: Dashboard, Mission Requests, Mission Results, and About.

The Dashboard section contained details on how much they had earned so far, the number of completed missions, pending missions, failed missions, and other summary information.

The Mission Requests section listed available missions with options to accept, decline, update, request more remuneration, and view mission ranks and details.

It also allowed them to update the status of missions, marking them as In Progress, Success, or Failure.

Once a mission was accepted, the status changed to In Progress. After completion, they could set the status to either Success or Failure.

Marking a mission would move it to the Mission Results section, where all data, including client details, ranks, and contact information, was stored.

In the Mission Results section, there was a feature to rank clients from one star to five stars. They had decided to create these ranks to provide benefits to clients in the future, encouraging loyalty.

"Well, the minimum requirement is at least two missions."

Ming Chen hesitated when updating the details of Zhang Wanyi. According to their standard, each client needed to complete two missions with them before earning the basic one-star rank.

"Hm, I have a feeling that we will be getting our second mission from him very soon. Also, he is our very first client and is a generous person, so I put my vote to make him a one-star client."

Kun Ming said, noticing Ming Chen's hesitation. They had implemented a voting system to decide on important matters in case of disagreements.

"Well, we don't need to use the voting system for this. Let's make him our first one-star client, Chen."

Han Wei agreed, not wanting to rely on the voting system too much to avoid unnecessary disturbances in their friendship.

"Hm, I just wanted to help him make up his mind. But it is indeed true, we must not use the voting process unless it's very important."

Kun Ming pondered for a moment before agreeing with Han Wei. He felt that using it could lead to unnecessary conflicts.

"Alright then. I am making him our first one-star client, hehe."

Ming Chen said as he added the rank to Zhang Wanyi, saving the information.

In the final About section, all data related to the organisation was stored, including details about the available experts, under their pseudonyms.

There was also a Ratings and Reviews section, displaying the organisation's market rating along with client reviews.

Ming Chen then went to the Missions section, updating the mission from In Progress to Success status.

"Hooray, our first mission is compl-"

Han Wei and Kun Ming exclaimed with joy as soon as Ming Chen marked the mission as a success.

Ming Chen also smiled happily and was about to stand up to celebrate with them. However, all of them suddenly stood still, bewilderment written all over their faces.

"Am I seeing things?"

Kun Ming asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Well, you are probably not, as I am also seeing it."

Han Wei added as he moved a bit closer to the computer.

"Looks like someone hacked us. But what will they gain from this? We have only one client so far."

Ming Chen sat back, staring at the screen vigilantly. However, he soon shook his head, realising that even if someone hacked them, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Maybe that police officer ratted us out?"

Kun Ming added his thoughts, instantly increasing the tension in the room. If those hacking their application were authorities, it could create some trouble for them.

"Stop overthinking! If the police were to hack us, they would just gather information from our application and then come to capture us. But from this, I don't think it's possibly from the authorities."

Han Wei slowly analysed the situation.

Kun Ming and Ming Chen thought about it for a moment before calming their tensed nerves.

"Hm, since we are probably not going to be in much trouble, let's check what this is about. It's definitely someone probably pranking us."

Ming Chen said, understanding that the dark web was a place full of skilful hackers.

He then proceeded to click on the latest added 'Mystic Evolution' section without their consent.

As soon as he clicked on it, Ming Chen felt an unknown cold sensation wash over him. Kun Ming and Han Wei were unaware of it, but he felt it.

Although he felt it, he didn't know how to express it. Ignoring the strange feeling, he focused on the Mystic Evolution section.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?"

Han Wei said, glaring at the screen displaying the Mystic Evolution section.
