Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!

Chapter 8: Accepting the Mission

Gu Man understood why this grandmother hated her so much. Wasn’t it because she remembered the dirty things she did back then when she saw her?

It could be said that without her mother’s family, which was the Xie family, there would not be the current Gu family.

But after these people annexed the Xie Family, they wished they could get rid of them all.

Now the Gu family had a good reputation. Gu Yuan had the face of a philanthropist. The old lady of the Gu family usually looked happy and kind, and Gu Rou was even a socialite in Han City.

Who would know that the Gu family’s background was so dirty?

They thought that she did not know about these things.

However, she had other plans for now. She would ignore these messy old debts for now. She had plenty of time to deal with them in the future.

In the room.

Gu Man looked at her items seriously. She did not look at them carefully last night, but now that she looked at them slightly, they were unfamiliar and familiar.

The room was not big and the decorations were ordinary. There was a single bed, a desk, and a row of cabinets. It was almost all the furniture and was not as luxurious as how the villa looked on the outside.

It was obvious that the owner of this room was not well-liked.

The Host was in her third year of high school this year and was about to graduate in the last semester. Gu Yuan used his financial resources and manpower to finally squeeze Gu Man into the best high school in Han City, Han City First High.

However, Gu Man had just returned from the countryside. How could she adapt to the teaching in the big city? Her results were a mess, and with her introverted personality, the school was like a nightmare to her.

Still, as we say, God is always fair. If a door is closed, there will be a window that will open.

The introverted Gu Man liked to play with her computer when she was at her maternal grandmother’s house.

Her maternal grandmother didn’t care what she did, but she supported Gu Man’s hobby. She was willing to give her money to learn whatever she wanted to learn online.

This was one of the few bits of warmth that Gu Man had.

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang.

Gu Man opened it and saw a new email. It was a string of codes.

It was a new mission.

She turned on the computer on the desk and quickly typed on the keyboard. The screen immediately changed to another look.

If one looked carefully, one would realize that this was a dark web platform. The first page of the platform was a series of missions that were waiting to be claimed by hackers.

Yes, no one would have thought that Gu Man was a hacker.

Her code name, Eel. [2. The Man in Gu Man’s name also sounds like the Chinese character for Eel.]

As soon as Gu Man logged into her eel account, she saw a flashing message from her contact.

Just now, it was the signal from her contact for her to go online. This contact was called “Moon”.

Moon: “There’s a new mission. If you have time and are interested, click on the document and you can choose.”

Gu Man opened five documents.

It was all too simple. How could she be interested?

Hence, Gu Man replied to Moon’s message: “Is there a harder one? Send me five of the hardest missions.”

Moon sent a question. “This is given to you according to your usual difficulty. Are you sure you want something more difficult?”

In the past, Gu Man would accept some missions from time to time to earn some living expenses. They were all relatively simple and weren’t time-consuming.

Now that she suddenly asked for something more difficult, the other party suspected that it wasn’t Gu Man.

Moon: “You’re Eel?”

Gu Man: “Send it over!”

After a while, Moon threw a few missions over. “These are the most difficult missions. They all have the corresponding prices attached.”

Gu Man picked a mission. It was a mission from an internal fight between the heirs of an internationally wealthy family. One of them was hiring a hacker for 10 million dollars to hack the other party’s defense network and steal information.

And the other party’s defense network was world-class. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to offer 10 million dollars.

Seeing that Gu Man had chosen this mission, Moon quickly asked her, “The Protection Legion is ‘Nightfall’. You should know ‘Nightfall’, right?”

Gu Man looked at the “Nightfall” symbol of the protective legion group. How could she not know?!

Nightfall was a god-like existence in the hacker world. Previously, many hackers had challenged them, but they were counterattacked almost as soon as they started deciphering. In the end, these hackers were caught. Even the top hackers did not dare to touch it.

This was also the reason why no one dared to accept this mission, even with such a high reward, leaving the mission lying on the mission page for three days.

Moon sent another string of words. “Eel, do you want to change your mission?”

“It’ll be settled by tonight!” Gu Man typed a few words and logged out.

Moon was left looking at Gu Man’s gray profile picture and almost stared a hole into the screen.

“That’s too… too impulsive isn’t it?”
