Chapter 5 - Ghost in the Network (2)

As soon as he received the quest, he called the school to report his absence for the next three days. Revan then went to the Computer laboratory in his study, where he used the power of a hundred supercomputers to look for any info on his quest. After three minutes, he received a notification on his A.R. contact lenses informing him that the computers found something.

The information stated that the location of the server hosting the AI was the HQ of a real estate agency, "Holo-Haven," and that the person behind it was none other than the CEO of Holo-Haven, "Justin Frostine," who was also a high-ranking member of AXIS. Revan then used his clearance as the son of the founders of AXIS to access Justin's files.

It revealed that he was currently on trial by AXIS for selling people's online data to various organizations and individuals, so it looked like this was a crime that he was committing while he was under trial. After doing some more digging and changing, he went to the subterranean level of his house that contained the hyper tube, and he set the hyper tube to leave him in the underground tunnel that led to the VIP underground parking of one of his companies' CBD estates, where the tunnel opened into his private parking bay in one of his more expensive cars.

The car drove him to the Holo-Haven HQ, where he walked in as a prospective client but then used his platinum card to get a private key. As soon as he entered the room, he brought the stealth ability for 5000S.P which made him invisible even to thermal imaging sensors and motion sensors and walked straight out of the room. He then made his way downstairs to the basement, which was just a storage space.

But when Revan used his AR glasses, he noticed a false wall and hacked it so as to open the wall. As he walked in, he detected hidden pressure plates under the carpet and subtle laser tripwires that triggered silent alarms, alerting Justin Frostine directly via a secure comm. But Revan's AR glasses detected these just in time. He saw the server room and dropped a specialized micro-device into one of the ports in the MPC and also extracted the AI's developmental logs.

He then walked back to his car and drove off to his estate, where he used the bug he left to access the A.I. He then received his rewards from the system:

======= Primary Reward: 10,000 SP, Data Module: Introduction to Sentient Code. Bonus Reward: Additional 5,000 SP, Sub-routine: Adaptive Interface Protocol (Allows Revan's System to seamlessly interface with and control external digital systems), lucky spin, and +1 to Intelligence Attribute (Permanent).

Without looking at anything else, he spent the next three hours primarily on integrating the core principles [of the Sentient Code] into his existing systems. He did a lot, from rewriting fundamental code structures to allocating dedicated processing power and even establishing communication protocols across all his devices.

After he was finished, he looked at the other rewards and then integrated the Sub-routine with the sentient code. He was very excited about the lucky spin because the last time he used it, he got the blueprints for the very house he was in. After spinning the wheel, it landed on "The ability to get animal familiars from any species and increase their stats and overall magic power." He then opened his stat screen
