"This guy."
Irina mumbled to herself as she looked at the departing figure of Astron.
"How irritating."
Whenever she talked to him, he always managed to touch her nerves, no matter what happened.
'Just wait, I will get back to you.'
She hated when she would be left speechless. She hated it when she couldn't refute his words. She hated it when he simply looked at him with a face devoid of any expression.
Mostly, she hated it whenever she was with him.
DING!
At that moment, the sound of notifications came from her bracelet.
[Julia: Guys, you know this weekend Victor's family is giving a banquet, right?]
It was a message from the group chat.
'Banquet? What?'
She thought. She didn't remember Victor mentioning the banquet at all.
[Ethan: This is the first time I am hearing about it.]
[Lucas. Same here. I didn't know about it either.]
Looking at the messages, it seemed Victor didn't invite any of them either.
[Julia: What? I thought he invited everyone.]
"Tssk!"
Looking at the message, she clicked her tongue. She knew why Victor directly invited only Julia. Everyone knew about that, even the said one who was feigning ignorance intentionally.
"What is good about her?"
She couldn't understand at all. Why was he this obsessed with this girl? What was even this good about her?
'Should I cut my hair, as well?'
Touching her braided hair, she thought. Maybe she was missing the tomboyish hair?
'No. I am not going to become someone else.'
However, there was no way Irina Emberheart would copy someone else. Her pride wouldn't allow that, even for the person she liked.
In the end, she cursed the bastard inside her heart as she walked in the way while messaging in the group chat….
*******
After the encounter with Irina, I returned to my room. Now, some of you may think, why didn't I ask for something different from money?
The reason is, for rich people like her, money is something they will never care about unless it is an astronomical amount.
Even some of the equipment Irina is using is actually ten times more expensive than what I had requested, like her earrings.
So, getting money to invest in stocks and future things would be a lot better.
Also, if I had requested a skill, she wouldn't refuse if it was a low rank, but at the same time, she wouldn't be willing enough.
She would feel like she had lost something, and this would damage her pride and ego more than I wanted. As a result, I would lose the connection I built with her.
Believe it or not, even though that girl is annoying and irritating, she is a formidable figure in the future; it is better to keep her under check.
As for equipment, I don't even know what I should use right now, and until I figure that out, I won't try to find any equipment.
In any case, that was the reason why I didn't request any skill or any equipment instead of money.
And it is not like I don't have any use for money either.
Opening my laptop, I started checking my emails in my room while also looking for stocks. Lately, I had been engrossing myself with the stock market and guilds so that I could maybe infer and link some of the events from the game.
Even though I hadn't used the stock system in the game, there were certain small events that I was aware of, and I had been waiting for them to create an opportunity for me.

Darkweb: Launching
Connecting to Server
---------------------------
Of course, since I had already been affiliated with the black market before, thanks to the card I got from there, I was able to create an account in the Darkweb, which was basically the side of the internet where everything buried underground was there.
After opening the site, I could see countless pictures, small advertisements, and inhumane things there.
But what I wanted right now was not to check those things.
<Horde>
Clicking on the tab, a small line appeared before me.
"From hacking to brokerage, everything you want to find virtually is here."
It was a simple line created by ever-changing codes. This was a special site that had yet to make its name known right now. This small organization is filled with hackers whose gifts are related to computing and small mana frequency manipulation. Even though they were a small organization right now, they would be a formidable one in the future by taking down the current best hacker ones.

For these types of organizations, there were subscriptions and one-time requests, and I was planning to get the highest-tier subscription just to make sure I was connecting myself here.

TAP! TAP! TAP!
Slowly negating myself on the site, I immediately connected my account to the site and then started the transaction.
