07 The Plan II
He looked at his phone and saw the time was 4 am. Normally it's time for him to prepare for work, but this time it's different, for the first time since he starts working he is going to miss his work.
Nevertheless, he still gets ready; he doesn't want his sisters to notice anything, at least not yet.
He took a bath and checked the ring on his mind. He saw the paper currency factory machine continuing to print money non-stop. He grinned, a few hours ago after getting the ring he learned that he can still use the paper currency factory inside the ring.
So he immediately runs back to the basement to retrieve the type 1 currency factory machine.
Today, he plans to go to the market to notify the shop owner that he is quitting…
As he nears the market he stops. He took a deep breath even after jogging for 5 kilometers he is not tired, in fact, he didn't even sweat, not even a little.
The southern public market is the biggest market in this southern Radial it's divided into several sections. There are sections for fruits, livestock, and so on.
The Old man shop is located in the agriculture section. The old man's shop sells all kinds of agricultural products.
The markets prohibit all kinds of carts from delivering products to any shops when the market is open to consumers, the simple reason for that is that there are many people shopping.
Arc looks at the busy market and said to himself this is the last time he will be here as a worker. He smiles and started walking to the Old man's shop.
In front of the shop, he calls the old man.
"Arc, what are you still doing here? The work has already begun..." said the old man.
Looking at the old man, even after working here for two years he still didn't know the real name of the old man, everyone calls him old man, so he just called him old man as well. The way the Old man dress himself reminds him of the character from some old anime he used to watch when he was a kid, a Floral polo shirt, shorts with sandal, a wooden walking stick, and sunglasses. The only thing missing is the turtle shell on the back, and he is a perfect replica,
"Old man, I'm quitting!" Arc said with a fake sad smile on his face,
"Huh, why? I thought you needed money?" said the old man
"I do, but my body can't handle it anymore, I'm suffering from a serious back issue." He said, looking depressed. That was the excuse he came up with after thinking it over and over again...
Haiis, the old man looked at him with pity in his eyes. It's not the first time someone said something like this, in fact, it's too common. Every year, 1or 2 of his workers were forced to quit because of these kinds of related issues.
"I see, sorry, kid, it's part of the work." the old man sigh
"I know, thanks for taking care of me," said Arc with a sad smile on his face.
In fairness, although the work is hard, the old man always gives him what he deserves. He never took advantage of him; he even helps him a few times by giving him extra money.
"What's your plan now, kid?"
"Well, what can I do? But to look for a job that allows me to work with my current body."
"Well, good luck, kid, I mean it." said the old man smiling.
"Thanks, old man."
After saying goodbye, he left.
His next destination is the factory. There's no need to go to the construction site since it's only a part-time job. Whether he works or not doesn't matter to the construction site...
"What! You can't quit. I have no one to replace you at the moment." said the owner of the factory. He was a pudgy middle age man, the kind of man you see drinking beer on the street even during the daytime.
"It's not like I want to quit, but my doctor says if I keep working in this kind of environment, my damaged lungs will end up as cancer. You know I can't afford to have that, there's so much riding on my shoulders!" said Arc with a fake look of wariness on his face.
"fuck" what more can he say?
Don't worry about getting cancer. As much as he wants to keep the boy, he can't. He took advantage of the boy. After all, he knows he won't quit because he needs the job. But now that the boy gets lung damage because of the pollution in his factory. He was aware of it, of course, but fixing it takes a lot of money he doesn't want to spend.
"So, what's your plan now, brat?"
"My doctor said she would recommend me for a job, and she is an old family friend," says ARC.
"f@#k! Fine, good luck brat here's your last paycheck, I added a little more. Treat it like severance pay!"
"Thanks, boss." Said Arc with a slight smile on his face.
After getting out of the factory, he checks the cash that his boss gave him.
"f@#k! 10 credits!"
He received 10 additional credits, and it's not even enough for one bowl of street noodles.
"Severance bonus my ass what a cheap bastard,"
Even though he doesn't need the money, he still can't stop cursing.
Next stop, bank. Universal United Bank 'UUB' is the biggest bank in the United government.
"Good morning sir, what can I do to help you?" Said the beautiful teller in the UUB...
"I would like to open an account," says Arc with a slight smile on his face
"No problem, sir, what kind of account would you like to open?" Asks the teller
"Can you give me a suggestion?" replied Arc
"Sure, But first, can I ask you what's the purpose of your opening an account?"
"Oh, it's for personal and online transactions."
"Can you elaborate on what kind of online transaction?"
"For trading, I mean stocks trading."
"Oh, in that case, an open savings account will do, sir."
"Open? Does that mean there's a closed savings account?"
"Yes sir, A closed saving account can only be deposited from a registered account, meaning if I want to deposit to a closed saving account, the owner of the account needs to register the account first in order for someone to send money to that account. Closed savings account, mainly used for the company to pay its employees."
"I see," Arc said while nodding in understanding.
"The other is a regular saving account."
"A regular saving account can only accept money from a local source, a bank account from a different city can not deposit money from a regular saving account.
The advantage of a regular saving account is its low maintenance fee, a client who owns a regular saving account only needs to maintain 50 credit on his account to prevent it from closing."
"OH!"
"Parents mainly used this kind of account to give allowances to their kids." said the teller, still maintaining a professional smile.
"Yeah, I remember I used to have this kind of account before." replied Arc remembering when he was still in high school.
"That's right," said the teller.
"As for open accounts, anyone can deposit money on the account, and it's also easier to move money around as well. Since it doesn't need too much verification, but you don't have to worry about security, your money is secured and insured any money less than 1 million Ugcredit is secured and under insurance. If you plan on moving more than a million, I suggest you open a business or private account."
"So, what's the maintenance for an open savings account?"
"1000 Ugcredit."
"I see. Then I would like to open an open savings account, please."
"No problem, may I have your citizen I'd please."
Arc gave his citizen ID, and two minutes later, the registration was complete.
"Sir. Arc D Grand, how much would you like to deposit for the initial deposit?" Asked the Teller.
Arc is not surprised by such a fast transaction, since the implementation of citizen ID 200 years ago all citizen information is recorded in the single ID system. And over the last two centuries, the citizen ID system has already been perfected.
"20000 Ugcredit."
"Sir, may I know where or what's the source of the money?"
"This is just a standard question when you're opening an account to prevent any illegal use of the account."
"No problem, I sold one of my dad's old machines,"
"Do you have any documentation?"
"Sadly no, it's a cash basis transaction,"
"Can you tell me what your dad does for a living?"
"My dad used to be a chief engineer in pan trans Corp."
"I see, let me verify it first, give me a second."
The Teller types something on her computer; she already knows the name of Arc's parents since it's included in his information from his citizen ID.
A few seconds later. I see, I'm sorry to hear about your parents.
"No problem,'' said Arc."
"Everything checks out, sir."
Arc gave the 20k Ugcredit that's been produced from his paper currency factory machine. His face shows no emotions, but inside his heart is beating so fast he can almost hear it...
He waited for the Teller to complete the transaction...
"Sir Arc, thank you for choosing Universal United Bank. Here's your citizen I'd, your account is already linked to your ID, anything else I can help you with?" Said the beautiful teller while smiling at him.
He was about to say goodbye when he thought of something.
"Oh yes, can you open a regular saving account for my two sisters? I don't have their ID with me, though."
"Are you their legal guardian?"
Both his sisters are underage. Ever since his parent's accident, he became the legal guardian for both his sisters.
"I am."
"In that case, there's no need to bring their ID. let me verify it."
"Ok, Mr. Grand, how much would you like to pay for the initial deposit?"
"1000 Ugcredit each, please."
"Ok, give me a second."
"All done, sir, confirmation would be sent to your email, anything else?"
"No, that would be all miss, thank you,'' said Arc smiling
As he left the bank, he felt like a huge burden was taken off his shoulder. Walking outside, he was grinning wide.
