"Why is it so expensive? Isn't this like stealing my first million without a trace? The charge is even expensive when I pay for my documents" he said with a frown, wanting an explanation.
[I'm Broke]
The system replied only in two words, making him speechless and angry.
A money-making system, being broke? This is not explanatory at all! Well at the least he earned, 210,000 pesos so it's still good.
He had a total of 291,600 pesos in his bank account, he even made 740 pesos just for wasting time talking to that guy.
Now that it's done, he should go to the market and bought some Mountain Dew and also buy some new clothes too.
Going out in his room he did not meet the girl again and went to the shop by riding a public ride. Arriving at the mall he went to the grocery and there are lots of products like foods, shampoos, biscuits, and lots of things.
Strolling around he found the Mountain Dew wrapped in a box, every box there are over 2 sets in every wrapped box 1 sets equals to 12 bottles.
He took one of the boxes which is a little heavy with only his one arm carrying, he did not see the abnormality because with the 1 point increased in his stats increased his strength by 1 whole. Arriving at the counter he asked the cashier.
"Miss how much is 1 box of Mountain Dew?" Hearing the inquiries of a young man the teenage girl wearing a mask that only her eyes can be seen, shifting her gaze towards Alexander.
She stood still stunned from how handsome this guy in poor clothing is. She quickly adjusted his self and could not help but be embarrassed.
"Yes sir, one box of Mountain Dew cost around 400 pesos" The girl answered professionally her eyes were like gone from the smile, thinking that this girl must have a blood of a Chinese.
"I'll take 7 boxes and also do you offer delivery for this?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, we offer delivery for 200 pesos, but the price may increase if the distance is greater," said the girl behind the mask.
"I understand. I'd like to order seven boxes delivered to this address, and I'm ready to pay now," Alexander replied, handing a note to the cashier.
She glanced at it and noted that the location was not too far away.
"Sure sir, that will be around 2,800 pesos for the seven boxes of Mountain Dew and 200 pesos for the delivery a total of 3,000 pesos." She said after calculating the total amount.
Alexander then took out his card and the girl then swiped the money from the scanner paying the bill.
[Current Balance: 288,600 Pesos]
He then left the girl and gave his number to the cashier, asking to be called once the delivery arrived.
Afterward, he departed from the first floor and took the escalator to the third floor, where he purchased three Adidas t-shirts and three pairs of shorts, each priced at approximately 599 pesos.
Consequently, a total of 3,594 pesos was deducted from his account.
[Current Balance: 285,006 Pesos]
When he was about to go to the escalator exit the mall someone tapped him in his shoulder, when he looked back its a friend that he had not seen after his graduation.
A man in wearing a black t shirt with a skull face design attached to it, his wearing a short while wearing a shoe.
He had black hair that was trimmed like a buzzcut his face was friendly as he looked at Alexander even though he looked like a thug, but he is not.
"Alexander It's been a long time, your actually here in the City? What school are you going to enroll" The guy asked.
"Oh, Cedrick it's actually you what a coincidence. I'm actually here to buy some clothes and was about to go home" Alexander replied with a smile.
His best-friend Cedrick is one of his few friends that treats him like a real family, when he was bullied in high school due to his low background and handsome appearance.
Cedrick is always there to rescue him, even when he was sent to the principal office for beating a guy until it turns black and blue.
"Do you want to have drink there and catch up my treat" Alexander said, as he pointed at a small shop for beverages, it's a Milktea if you know what it is.
Seeing the place he pointed at, Cedrick does not know whether to agree or not, he know his friend financial situation than everyone else.
He even saved money just to pay for school fees, even though he had no more food to eat.
He even tried selling his favorite food outside just to earn some extra cash, the food his friend made using the Binangkal Recipe, made it more delicious.
Reading his though Alexander just smiled and said, "Don't worry I have money"
Hearing Alexander words, he was feeling a little skeptical if his friend really had the ability to pay. Or even he could pay is their money going to be left for him to spend?
"Are you sure? I have money, so you don't need to pay for my drink," Cedrick said.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll pay. I have money, so you don't need to worry," Alexander replied assuring him that he had cash.
They both entered the store and took a seat inside a milk tea shop.
Alexander ordered two large milk teas—one chocolate with added black pearls, and for his friend Cedrick, a Buko pandan flavor with black pearls.
The total came to 220 pesos, with each item costing 110 pesos. He effortlessly paid with his card, his balance decreasing by 220 pesos.
Without a second thought about the modest sum, he carried the drinks over to the table, handed one to Cedrick, and then took a sip of his milk tea before sitting down.
"Thank you for the drink" Cedrick said while he took the plastic bottle cup and sipped at the straw.
"Don't mention it" Alexander spoked while shaking his hand.
"So how long have you been in here?" Alex asked with a sipped on his drink.
"I haven't been here long, only about a week, but I've found a boarding house. It's just a bed space, and the monthly fee is 1,500, which is affordable," Cedrick said.
Alexander nodded in understanding. Like Cedrick, he came from a family of modest means. He had one younger brother and an older sister who was already in college.
Their family's income was just enough to support his sister's education.
"What about you Alex? How are you" Cedrick inquired, the two of them had not meet after graduation.
The two of them began to catch up with somethings. Until finally Cedrick remembered something.
"Oh yes, Zya's birthday is next Monday. They're planning to celebrate at the hotel, I think they've rented the entire floor. Do you want to come?" Cedrick inquired, looking into Alexander's face.
Upon hearing this, Alexander was deep in thought. He recalled his fondness for Zya, who was not only beautiful but also intelligent and affluent.
Although they shared a wonderful relationship, he hesitated to confess his feelings, fearing it might jeopardize their friendship.
Cedrick knew this looking at Alexander with his head lowered, hell even Zya knew of his feelings but waiting for him to confess.
But he did not say anything or tried to force Alexander to go to the party, but with their friendship he should really come.
"Sure, I'll go" Alexander said with a nod.
"Alright then we'll see each other next Monday you've better get a gift wrapped up, or if you need money, I can let you borrow mine" Cedrick said.
Alexander just shook his head declining, "Don't worry I have money now. I think I should say this to you, if you ever need extra bucks just come to me" he said with a teased.
They took a while to have a conversation and finally they separated, Alexander then went back to his apartment and the delivery guy arrived he gave the guy a tip of 1,000 pesos to show his gratitude.
The delivery guy thinks that his gay and wanted to Bombayahh, with him by giving money. But he's wrong and left dejectedly but he still thanked Alexander, from his GE-NO-RO-SI-TY.
Alexander opened the box containing 14 sets and sent 7 sets of Mountain Dew to 'FatMerchant69'. The remaining 7 sets were briefly illuminated by a white light before they vanished from view.
[AlexanderTheGrate: There, I'll send the next batches of goods next week]
[FatMerchant69: Ok]
After that Alexander decided to upgrade the Earnings Generator, to earn more money while idling. Opening the system, he navigated his finger to the upgrade button.
