After the successful completion of his first assignment, Nigel got multiple assignment opportunities every day. He was beginning to amass a small fortune in Digitbit, and he was also starting to become overwhelmed—not because the assignments were becoming more difficult, but because they were taking precious time away from helping his mother with her own hacking situation.

He told himself that he was helping by using the money generated from these ventures to put food on the table and gas in her tank, but the problem with working for Collective Systems was that he was paid in cryptocurrency, which was not easily convertible to cash. It was not like he could put in a Digibit ATM card and withdraw funds. The process he was using now took too long and required a lot of time.

The evidence was on the computer somewhere. He just needed to find it!
