Chapter 25: Private Jet
Jin woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready for another day as a bartender. The previous night's events, where he had used the system's shop to fend off attackers, lingered in his mind. As he got dressed and prepared for his morning shift, he couldn't help but think about the possibilities the system's shop offered.
The bar was already buzzing with activity when Jin arrived. The familiar sounds of clinking glasses and lively chatter filled the air, accompanied by the soft melodies of jazz music. Jin greeted his colleagues and began his routine, setting up the bar and preparing for the influx of customers.
As he worked, Jin's thoughts drifted back to the system's shop. He wondered what other abilities and items it held, considering how the healing pill and martial arts scroll had already proven invaluable. He knew he needed to explore it further but decided to focus on the task at hand.
The morning rush began, and Jin effortlessly handled the busy crowd. His charm and professionalism shone through as he mixed drinks and engaged in lighthearted banter with the patrons. Despite the hectic pace, Jin remained calm and collected, a testament to his growing confidence and skills.
As he served drinks, Jin observed the patrons around him. There was a couple on a date, whispering sweet nothings to each other, a group of friends celebrating a birthday, and a solitary man nursing a drink, lost in thought. Each interaction reminded Jin of the diverse tapestry of life and the myriad ways people sought solace and joy.
One woman, in particular, caught his eye. She had been sitting alone at the bar, glancing occasionally at her phone. Jin approached her with a warm smile. "Can I get you another drink?" he asked.
She looked up, slightly startled, and then smiled back. "Yes, please. Another martini."
As Jin prepared her drink, they struck up a conversation. Her name was Stacy, and she was waiting for a friend who was running late. They talked about everything from favorite movies to the best places to eat in the city. Jin found himself genuinely enjoying the conversation, his mind momentarily forgetting the complexities of his new life.
As the shift neared its end, Jin received a familiar chime in his mind. The system's notification appeared: "Quest Completed. Reward: Personal Jet." Jin's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He had never imagined owning a personal jet, yet here he was, about to receive one as a reward.
After finishing his shift, Jin discreetly left the bar and headed to the spot where he had parked his Bugatti. He couldn't help but smile as he drove to ApexJets, one of the most prestigious jet companies in the world. The anticipation of seeing his new jet made his heart race.
Upon arriving at ApexJets, Jin was greeted warmly by the manager, who had been expecting him. They exchanged pleasantries before moving on to the paperwork. Jin signed the necessary documents, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he did so.
"Mr. Smith, it's an honor to have you here," the manager said. "Your new jet is ready for you. Let me show you."
Jin followed the manager to the hangar, where his new personal jet was waiting. It was a sleek and modern aircraft, worth over £100 million. Jin's eyes gleamed with pride as he took in the sight of it.
"Do you also sell hangars?" Jin asked the manager.
"Yes, we do," the manager replied, handing Jin a picture booklet. Jin quickly chose a spacious and well-equipped hangar, costing over £1 million, and finalized the purchase.
With everything sorted, Jin returned to his villa. The system rewarded him with two extra shop points, and he contemplated how best to use them. As he scrolled through the shop's offerings, he saw various fighting techniques, healing pills, and other mysterious items.
"I should probably save these points for something crucial," Jin thought to himself. "You never know when they might come in handy."
Satisfied with his decision, Jin prepared for bed. As he lay down, his mind raced with possibilities. The system had given him wealth and power, but now it was also granting him skills and abilities. What more could it offer?
With these thoughts, Jin drifted off to sleep, eager to see what the future held.
