Chapter 65 - Madeline, Youre going to make me Rich! (1/2)

When Chris' class ended, he quickly went home and checked the stock price of Nexon.

”Alright it went according to my plan,” Chris said happily. He quickly sold all his shares and his bank account surged to $3 million.

'It would be easy for me to invest all this 3 million and get another million or two within a week, but since I did all the prep work for Nexon, let's end it with Nexon,' Chris thought. He took out his phone that he recently got and called a number that he never used in his past life.

It rang for a couple of seconds, but soon a male picked up the phone.

”Hello?”

”Can I have some pig's feet with scallions?” Chris asked.

”Let me transfer you to the proper department,” The man said in a calm tone. The phone rang once again and this time a female's voice answered.

”Job description?” The lady asked.

”Nexon's game Maplestory. Down for 2 days starting tomorrow noon, but no data losses,” Chris said.

”200k,” The woman said. She immediately hung up and Chris smiled.

”Oh I'm going to be richer than those regular 1%,” Chris said.

The next morning, Chris immediately went to his brokerage site and put in all of his money except for $200,000 in order to short Nexon.

'Luckily in my past life, a friend of mine told me about them. Their password changes a lot, but he did mention about this password which he thought was the best password out of all of them,' Chris thought happily.

”$50 per share! We're going to get such a big bonus!” An employee shouted.

”Yeah! Let's go out to a pub today! I'm buying! Who's in?!” Another employee asked excitedly.

The manager smiled and also decided to take part in the little celebration.

'I'm going to get promoted soon right?' The manager thought as he was already starting to celebrate his promotion in his mind. However, their celebration was short-lived.

”Manager, we have a huge problem!” An employee that looked at his computer said with panic.

”What's the matter? The stock went down by a dollar?” The manager asked jokingly.

”No... Maplestory has been hacked! For now, we're trying our best, but there's no sign of us recovering,” The employee said.

”What?!” The manager asked with a shocked tone. ”Try your best to recover the servers. If we don't get this fixed by today, it won't be only me that gets sacked, all of you will be as well!”

All the employees were frantically trying to do whatever they could, but nothing was happening.

”We're screwed.. No one can do anything about this right now and news is going to go out fast. Forget the bonus, we're going to lose our jobs,” The employee who asked everyone out to the pub said sadly as he shuddered at the thought of him losing his job.

”It's alright,” The manager said. ”You guys have till the end of tomorrow to try to fix this or else we're all going down,”

However, Nexon was not able to fix the servers the next day. Even Madeline switched to World of Warcraft as she could not play Maplestory anymore.
