Arjun Malhotra sat on a park bench, the cool night air rustling through the trees. He gazed at the stars, his mind troubled. Since quitting all his part-time jobs, money had become a pressing issue. His younger sister needed school fees, and they were running low on food.
Calling upon the system, he voiced his concerns. "I'm short on money right now. My sister's school fees are due, and we're almost out of food. What should I do?
The system responded calmly, "First, upgrade me to level 2.
Arjun frowned. "How will I upgrade you? I don't have enough SU Points.
"You currently have 1,148 SU Points," the system replied.
Arjun slapped his forehead. "I forgot. Alright, I'll upgrade you now.

The system continued, "You now have access to new features. The lottery allows you to spin and get random rewards. The Ability Upgrader lets you enhance any of your abilities. The system store is now bigger and offers items at cheaper prices."
Arjun sighed. "All this is fine, but why did you increase the daily quests and reduce the rewards a bit?"
The system replied, "This is part of the system upgrade. Now, about your money issue. I've given you a Goblin Slayer's Dagger. Sell it to get the money you need."
"Where should I sell this?" Arjun asked.
"There is a big Hunter's Tools Mall near the Hunter Association. Go there and sell it, but make sure the price is not below Rs 50 lakh."
Arjun nodded. "Got it."
One more thing," the system added. "Wear a mask so no one can recognize you. Also, check your current status."

"Complete missions, daily quests, and train regularly. Each successful mission will earn you stat points, which you can allocate to improve your attributes," the system explained.
