Olivia Philips was not your average woman. The kind who'd be found lounging in bed at this ungodly hour, she was already deep into her world - her office. As the CEO of a thriving company, her days often began before the city even woke up. Right now, she was the queen of an empty kingdom, her office the only lit space in the towering building.
Her eyes scanned the documents spread across the sleek table. The company's last three-year report was staring back at her, its numbers a stark contrast to the meteoric rise they'd experienced in their initial years. Once, the company was a darling of the business world, with giants lining up to buy them out. But the last three years had been a different story. It was the first real challenge Olivia had faced in her career.
She was used to smooth sailing. Never once had she needed to sell even a single share. But now, it seemed she'd have to change her strategy. Maybe use some shares to build connections and pump more money into the company's growth. She was deep in thought when a strange thing happened.
A voice echoed in her head.
[Ding binding sub-system 1%..2%..34%...67%....100%]
Olivia's heart pounded. She was about to scream when a flood of information washed over her. Slowly, the confusion cleared, and she began to understand what this 'system' thing was.
Before she could process it fully, another voice rang out.
[Ding beginners mission gives 50% share of Philips group to the main host
Reward:-
1. 50 billion dollar
2. SubSystem(permanent with additional feature)]
Olivia's mind raced. The subsystem wasn't permanent yet. This was a one-time deal. After completing the mission, she could either stay bound to it or walk away with a whopping 50 billion dollars. Her company was valued at only 18 billion. This was a crazy offer. But the subsystem promised endless possibilities. It was like a golden ticket, even if it was meant for someone else. After a long moment, she made a decision.
"Accept mission."
Olivia was impatient to meet the main host of the main system. She had just learned how protective the system was of him. All she knew about him was his name, Jacob Wick, and that he was 17 years old. Despite his young age, she knew he would be influential.
She was more shocked by the system's power. Offering 50 billion dollars for a 50% share was unheard of. But the system also guaranteed the money would be tax-free, making it even more tempting.
Olivia arrived at the restaurant an hour early, informing the staff about her meeting. As she waited, she heard a voice in her head.
[Ding the main host will be stopped at the door of the restaurant and will be called poor by a security guard within 45 min
Urgent Mission:- buy this restaurant and give it to the main host
(Infinity money card is issued for this mission and can not be used for anything else)]
Olivia was stunned. The system was giving her a mission based on a future event. She didn't understand why she needed to buy a restaurant. And the infinite money card was mind-boggling. She had never imagined such a thing existed.
She tried to warn the staff not to stop anyone at the door, but the system prevented her.
[Ding if the security guard did not stop the main host the mission will not appear in front of you and you will not warn the security guard leading to the main host getting stopped]
Olivia realized she was stuck in a time loop. She had to buy the restaurant as the mission and system did not allow her to change the future event. She called the restaurant owner, made a tempting offer to the market value, and the deal was closed in minutes, thanks to the infinite money card. The owner, a man overwhelmed by the sudden fortune, signed the papers without hesitation. The transfer of funds was almost instantaneous, a stark contrast to the usual bureaucratic hurdles of such a large transaction.
With the restaurant now under her ownership, Olivia waited for the arrival of the main host, a sense of unease growing within her. The system's insistence on this particular course of action was unsettling. She wondered what other surprises awaited her in this strange new reality.
Jacob Wick, the enigmatic main host, entered the private room. Olivia studied his young face, a mask of innocence that belied the extraordinary power he wielded. She knew, with absolute certainty, that this boy was destined for greatness.
To her surprise, Jacob wasted no time. He signed the papers transferring ownership of the restaurant and 50% shares of Philips group without hesitation, his focus elsewhere. Olivia, sensing an opportunity to connect, insisted they share a meal. However, their conversation was stilted, and Jacob seemed eager to depart.
Their brief encounter concluded, and Olivia was left with a mix of disappointment and intrigue. Despite the failed attempt at connection, she had accomplished her objectives. The first mission was complete, granting her a staggering 50 billion dollars and the option to install a permanent subsystem. And, the second mission reward appeared: a two-year extension of her lifespan.
A notification from the system followed after the installation of the subsystem:
[Ding subsystem is activated
System features:-
1. Infinity money card (can only be used on the main host or the things owned by the main host)
2. every penny spent on the main host can be rebated from 2 to 1000 times (Infinity money card spend is included)
3. Every million dollar spent on the main host will provide a sub-host 1 point and points can be used in the system mall ]
Olivia's interest piqued. "That seems good," she mused. "The infinite money card can be used for things owned by the main host. Does that mean Philips Group counts as owned by him?"
[Yes Philips group counts as owned by the main host]
A sly smile appears on Olivia's face. If 50% of the company belonged to Jacob, it still meant it was partially hers. Could she use the infinite money card on her own company? The possibilities were exhilarating.
