Mission 10 - Friend Request general information
Way to unlock: You need to complete Main mission 8 (Marriage Counselling). You can now go to Lester's house (letter L on the world map).
Playable characters: Michael
Additional information: This one is another, quite relaxing, mission during which you will visit the headquarters of a company that owns a fictional social networking service LifeInvader. Apart from that, you will be presented with another interesting element of the game, i.e. visiting clothes stores.
Mission 10 - Friend Request full walkthrough
Lester's house is in the Southeastern Los Santos. More precisely, it is in the El Burro Heights district. After you get there, park your car in front of the house, and go towards the entrance to meet up with an old friend of Michael's. Lester will want to exact revenge on Jay Norris, the owner of the LifeInvader corporation.
The first part of the plan assumes purchasing a disguise that will help Michael make himself resemble the other employees at Norris's company. To do that, you need to reach the Suburban clothes store in the Northern part of the city, in the Vinewood district. Enter the shop, talk to the saleswoman and choose one of the elements suggested by the game (they cost 120 dollars each).
Exit the shop and start your journey to Rockford Hills, because that is where the headquarters for the LifeInvader company is located. Park near the building and go towards the back entrance, which will start a cutscene showing a nifty way to get into the office. Follow the programmer that Michael met inside the building.
Now, you will play a funny mini-game. Start shutting down pop-ups with advertisements, by clicking the X symbol in the upper-right corner of each window. After you have cleared the screen, click quickly on the icon of the AntEater Antivirus (shown in the screenshot). Scan the computer and Exterminate all of the viruses.
After you have watched another cutscene, enter the side room to let Michael modify the prototype of the new device stored in the office. Return along the same path that you took to get here and exit the LifeInvader office. Do not go back to Lester's house and go to Michael's estate instead. Go here to the living room and turn the TV on.
Use the left analog stick to flip through channels. Keep doing that until you reach the transmission from the announcement by Jay Norris. In accordance with the information that you have received, you need to wait for Norris to present the crowd with the prototype of the device. Select the phone from Michael's inventory, access Contacts and call Jay Norris (the above screenshot). Watch the explosive finale and listen to the conversation with Lester.
