On Sunday morning, Jeff woke up feeling refreshed in his cozy bed. Today, his goal was to finally complete his Minecraft project and share it online.
First things first, he headed to the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast. Once he had satisfied his hunger, he took a refreshing shower and changed into fresh clothes. Stepping outside, he noticed it was still early, and he knew his aunt Rose wouldn't be home yet as she often ran errands to the grocery store in the mornings.
Jeff donned a cap and jacket to conceal his identity, ensuring the USB drive containing the unfinished file remained safely tucked away in his pockets.
He made his way towards the road and headed towards a different computer shop, located a bit farther from the one he had visited the day before.
Following a few blocks and crossing intersections, he eventually reached his destination. The computer shop, known as "Himulat," caught Jeff's attention despite being a little bit of distant in his place.
The, one downside of "Himulat" was that it didn't operate on an open-time basis. Instead, they sold tickets for one-hour sessions, priced at 10₱ each.
As Jeff stepped inside, he noticed he was the first to arrive. Without hesitation, he approached the counter to purchase a ticket, opting for a 5-hour session and paying 50₱.
After obtaining his ticket, Jeff swiftly powered on the PC and inserted the USB drive. He navigated to the folder and initiated the installation process for the Unity application. With the installation complete, Jeff delved into his work, programming a loop for Minecraft.
This loop ensured that trees would be visible as the player journeyed through the game's he also programmed the interface, enhancing the basic mechanics.
As Jeff's fingers danced across the keyboard immersing himself in coding, fortunate that there were no onlookers to witness his progress.
Half an hour later, Jeff's efforts paid off, and he finally completed the Minecraft project.
Jeff proceeded to copy the file onto his USB drive, ensuring it was safely stored. He then deleted the file from the computer and carefully ejected the USB drive, placing it back into his pocket.
Observing that he still had plenty of time remaining, he pondered how to occupy himself. Just then, his attention was drawn to a conversation between a girl and the owner of the shop.
"Boss, could you please grant me just one hour? I left my wallet at home, which is quite far, but I promise to return and pay once I'm done," the girl pleaded.
"Sorry, young lady, but that's not how things work here. How can I trust that you'll actually pay after you leave?" the owner of the computer shop responded, expressing his reservations.
"But, but I..." the girl stammered, attempting to find a way.
However, her words were interrupted when a young person, sporting a cap and a jacket, approached her.
"You can use my remaining time. I no longer need it," the youth offered generously.
The girl turned her attention towards Jeff and noticed he was wearing a jacket and a mask, though her immediate focus was on securing a computer.
"Wow, sir, thank you so much! I'll definitely repay you once I retrieve my money," the girl gratefully responded, overwhelmed by his kindness.
Jeff shook his head, insisting, "No need to pay me. You can use it for free. I'll leave now, goodbye." Without waiting for the girl's response, Jeff bid her farewell and promptly exited the computer shop.
The girl watched him depart, filled with gratitude. She swiftly made her way to the computer and connected her phone using a cable, proceeding to upload a file.
As Jeff stepped outside, he strolled casually along the side of the road, taking in the pleasant morning surroundings.
Rather than heading directly home, he decided to take a shortcut and savor the beauty of the morning a little longer. After a few minutes, Jeff reached his aunt's boarding house.
Upon entering, he noticed his aunt Rose was not yet present. He ascended the stairs and made his way to his room, intending to upload Minecraft on the Play Store.
Jeff powered on his tablet and connected it to the USB drive using a connector. With precise finger movements, he accessed the Play Store and proceeded to upload Minecraft, setting the price at $5 per download.
Anticipation filled him as he anxiously waited for the upload to complete. After a brief period of waiting, the upload successfully finished, and Jeff couldn't contain his excitement.
He eagerly anticipated the game's release and hoped for it to go viral among players. Just as Jeff completed the upload of Minecraft to the Play Store, his phone started to ring.
Curious, he quickly picked it up and discovered a message from his bank informing him of a deposit 30,000₱ had been credited to his account.
He already had a strong inkling of who the generous sender was – his mother. Filled with gratitude, Jeff opened his messaging app and promptly expressed his heartfelt thanks to his mother.
After expressing his gratitude to his mother, Jeff decided to buy a laptop to further pursue his ambitions. Once again, he left his aunt's boarding house, noticing that she was still absent.
Though curious about her whereabouts, he pushed the thought aside and directed his attention towards his primary goal—buying a laptop.
Jeff headed to a nearby mall named "Gaisano." Upon entering, he located the escalator and ascended to the second floor. He took some time to explore, surveying the surroundings until he finally spotted the section dedicated to laptops.
With eagerness, he approached the display and carefully examined the various models available for sale.As Jeff stood in the laptop section of the store, he marveled at the array of options before him. His eyes were immediately drawn to a sleek model with impressive specifications, priced just above 30,000₱. The laptop boasted a powerful processor, ample storage, and a vibrant display that caught his attention.
Moving along, he encountered another intriguing option. This one was slightly pricier, but its enhanced features made it worth considering. With a price tag above 40,000₱, it offered an even faster processor, a larger storage capacity, and a dedicated graphics card, perfect for his gaming aspirations.
Continuing his search, Jeff spotted a high-end laptop with a luxurious design. Priced above 50,000₱, it flaunted a slim profile, a stunning 4K display, and exceptional performance capabilities.
While it stretched his budget, he couldn't help but imagine the seamless experience it would provide.
As he explored further, he discovered a versatile convertible laptop that caught his eye.
With a price exceeding 60,000₱, it showcased a touchscreen display and the ability to transform into a tablet, providing convenience and flexibility for both work and entertainment.
