Switching to a men's dormitory. Ace had been shopping all day, and he felt very tired.
"Ever since I spent so much money, everyone's been paying attention to me. Should I continue spending even more?"
Ace shook his head. He walked slowly, pondering what else could make him spend a lot of money, and the wealth system adding bonuses as a form of gratitude. "Ah, no. I want to try a different approach."
As Ace walked along the dormitory corridor, he met three men.
"Hey! That's Ace!"
"Wow, Ace! Your appearance has changed drastically, hasn't it? You're even wearing expensive clothes?" Tammy criticized Ace, looking him up and down. She assessed Ace's classy and luxurious appearance.
"Tammy, don't jump to the conclusion that Ace bought expensive clothes. Do you know he works as a Cleaning Service?" the others commented.
"Yeah! Maybe the clothes Ace bought are fake, I mean, just imitating the brand. That's the most expensive, like 1000 dollars."
"Oh, I know! He bought clothes that look like expensive ones just to show off, right?"
Tammy shook her head in amazement. "Oh my, instead of buying fake clothes to show off and grab attention, it's better to donate money to famous streamers. Your name will surely be highlighted and noticed," Tammy laughed. She was sure Ace couldn't afford to spend a portion of his small salary on buying gifts and donating them to famous streamers.
"Hahaha, Tammy! Ace's salary is small. It's impossible for him to buy the most expensive gifts."
Ace contemplated; it seemed that Tammy's idea was quite intriguing. 'Hmm... I'll give it a try; maybe this is a way to get attention,' Ace's inner voice spoke.
"See? He's daydreaming, probably thinking about your suggestion, Tammy."
"Oh my goodness, why is he confused? If you have a lot of money, just donate it."
"Are you challenging Ace?"
"Don't worry; I'm just joking," Tammy suppressed her smile. Ace was probably thinking about how to buy the most expensive gift, even though his salary was small.
Ace nodded in understanding. "It's okay, whether you were joking or serious. I'll definitely do it. Your idea is great, Tammy," he smiled widely. He didn't expect Tammy to provide such an interesting idea, and unintentionally, it would make him even cooler by spending more money and earning bonuses from the wealth system if he became too cool.
Tammy raised an eyebrow. "Interesting? Have you received your salary, Ace?" she asked curiously.
'I'm not paid by my boss, Nathan. I was fired because he cheated and defended Agatha. But I don't regret it. There's still a good destiny helping me,' Ace answered in his heart; he couldn't reveal the truth to them. Although eventually, they would find out from their friends' gossip.
"Thank you, your suggestion was very helpful, Tammy," Ace reached out and shook Tammy's hand.
Tammy was puzzled. She smiled, looking at her two friends alternately.
"You're too obedient to Tammy, Ace. Hahaha, you're such a compliant guy."
"Don't be too submissive, Ace; you'll be the one losing out."
"Well, if you're sure you can give the most expensive gift willingly and voluntarily. But unfortunately, your wallet will be a little emptier."
"A very obedient and submissive person, haha. Ace is a bit crazy."
"Let him bear the consequences later."
"Ace! You will not be able to donate gifts to streamer Olivia!" Tammy shouted then laughed out loud
Ace continued to walk towards his room.Ace closed the door, leaned back, using a cushion for comfort as he relaxed for a moment. After a day of seeking revenge against Agatha and arguing with Nathan, he felt drained of energy.Ace grabbed his charger and started to recharge his phone, which was at 10 percent battery.Ace began to navigate to the app store, searching for the MATE HAUNT app on his phone.While waiting, Ace picked up a water bottle from the table next to the mirror. "I'm really thirsty. My throat is dry from the heated arguments with my boss and my ex-girlfriend," he drank until the bottle was empty.Ace sat back down and checked his phone, realizing that the MATE HAUNT app had finished installing.Ace created an account, registering with his phone number.Next, a username field appeared. "Hmm... what name would be suitable?" Ace thought for a moment. Shortly after, he typed 'beggar' as his chosen username.Then, Ace explored the MATE HAUNT homepage. However, he couldn'
Then other comment users prohibited Olivia and didn't agree.(Hey, just let him be here. He might be a new user. Forgive him!)(Olivia: Forgive?)Ace waited for Olivia's decision. He had asked politely, but Olivia's reaction was overly exaggerated, leading to frustration and anger.The metallic voice of the wealth system rang in Ace's mind.[YOU HAVE 50 MINUTES.]No specific command, just a notification of 50 minutes to think about how Ace could spend a lot of money."You! Tell me now, what should I do?" Ace scowled. He didn't like being in such a dire situation. He couldn't think independently without assistance and clues from his $100 million wealth system.And while Ace waited for the wealth system to provide guidance, he was suddenly removed from Olivia's streaming as per the moderator's request.It turned out that Olivia didn't forgive Ace, even though some other comment users understood that Ace was new to the world of live streaming.Ace grumbled, "Damn it! I have to get back i
And the price of the supercar that Ace purchased is $55,000. The gleam of the supercar displayed on Ace's mobile phone screen made Olivia and Tammy scream with excitement. They laughed happily as they received two generous gifts they had never imagined before. (Olivia: If this person keeps giving us big gifts, we could get rich!) Olivia exclaimed enthusiastically. She had even forgotten the name of the beggar discussed by the commentator on her own live stream. KingComment praised Ace's username, saying that whoever they were, male or female, they were an extraordinary and amazing person. Compliments began to flood the comments, but Ace didn't respond. "Huh, it's that easy to grab a woman's attention," Ace nodded in understanding, now he understood why women were so happy when it came to money and wealth; it's no wonder Agatha cheated. [YOU HAVE EARNED 80 POINTS!] The sound of the gleam rang in Ace's ears, and the man covered his ears because the sound was quite disturbing. Ace
Ace sat at a roadside bus stop. The scorching sun made him seek shelter and sit for a while."Where should I look for a job?" Ace was puzzled. In the past, he was offered a job by Nathan because his boss was a friend on social media, and Nathan kindly accepted him to work at the company, even as a cleaning service officer. Ace didn't mind the salary; the most important thing was that it covered his daily expenses.Ace took out his phone. He typed the latest job vacancies for the week via the internet.(LOOK FOR A MANAGER POSITION)Suddenly, the metallic system's voice instructions startled Ace, who was concentrating."What do you mean? Managers are usually experienced. I've never applied for that position, let alone worked as a manager. Please don't disturb me!" Ace's inner voice was slightly annoyed. He had low expectations of landing a top position at a company. It seemed impossible since his previous experience was limited to being an office cleaning service personnel.Ace refocuse
Twenty years ago, at an orphanage, two siblings had to go through a heartbreaking separation.Ace cried, embracing Rico tightly. "Big brother, who will I be with here?" His voice trembled; he couldn't be alone without Rico, even though there were still other friends at the orphanage.Rico tried to be strong, wanting to cry but not wanting to show his sadness in front of his younger brother, Ace. Rico's hands tightly hugged Ace. "I'll always come back for you. Big brother promises not to leave you alone here, okay?" Rico's hands wiped Ace's teary eyes."Rico, let's go home," a woman carrying an elegant handbag pulled Rico's hand, taking him away from Ace.Rico didn't know the reason he was chosen for adoption without Ace's participation."We're only adopting one child. I just want to get pregnant after taking care of you," Rico's new mother said.Rico looked back, gazing at Ace who cried and called his name continuously."Big brother!" Ace shouted, comforted by the orphanage's other fr
In the meeting room, Rico pointed to an empty chair at the back."Sit there, Ace," Rico said.Ace nodded, feeling a bit nervous as everyone stared at him."Do these people not know who I am? Oh, right. I'm the new manager here," Ace thought, forcing a timid smile."Who is he?" someone whispered."I've never seen him before. Is he a new employee?"Ace felt uncomfortable."Look at his appearance, just wearing a regular suit. Not handsome, and he looks a bit dull."Ace's mind boiled. Were they mocking him?(ATTENTION! YOU MUST RESPOND TO THEIR INSULTS)Ace raised an eyebrow. What's the big deal?He focused on listening to Rico's explanation about the best wood for making furniture chairs."Hurry up and tell me. I feel like shutting their mouths!" Ace fumed in his thoughts. He felt offended and angry.(YOU'RE WEARING A LOUIS VUITTON SUIT. SHOW OFF THAT BRAND AND YOUR CHARISMA!)Ace sighed. He unbuttoned his sleeve and revealed a smooth white fabric with a well-known brand."Oh, my! He's w
The man grinned smugly. "Letting you go?" He asked with a mocking tone, glancing at Ace dismissively.Ace nodded wearily. He was out of breath because of this. "I-I didn't take George's position. A-and my position is just temporary. Y-yes, for 2 weeks," Ace stuttered. Speaking was difficult for him."Even if it's just for 2 weeks, don't get too hopeful about replacing George!" He snapped angrily. He released his grip.Ace coughed, trying to catch his breath. "Believe me, I'm only temporarily the manager here," he said seriously and convincingly."If you're seeking attention and trying to outshine others, be careful. I won't let you go!" He issued a stern warning to Ace before leaving him leaning weakly.(WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?)Ace grumbled in frustration. "Fight back how? I had trouble breathing earlier! Do you expect me to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, huh?""Ace!" Rico suddenly arrived and forcefully opened the restroom door. He approached Ace, who leaned weakly as if power
"All the employees here, I invited them all," replied Ace calmly. It was time for Ace not to be embarrassed and think about financial problems in his wallet. Now, there is a wealth system that provides money for fun.Laughter echoed in the room; they still couldn't believe that Ace was going to throw a party for all of Rico's office employees.'Ace, are you selling the gold I gave you? If so, you'd better ignore those insulting words. Unfortunately, you sold the 50-gram gold,' Rico's heart spoke. Ace had changed a lot, from being quiet to now daring to confront anyone who would belittle him.***To prove that Ace's words were true and not just empty talk, Ace took them to a luxurious 5-star hotel."Wow, this is the hotel I want to visit. Unfortunately, it's never realized because it's too expensive!""Can we really rent a hotel for a party in just one day?""Maybe he's just storytelling and taking us for a walk around, hahaha."As they walked slowly, Ace sent a direct message to the h
Ace arrived at a cellphone store, his eyes gazing in amazement at the bustling shop.Three female salesclerks welcomed Ace."Welcome to our cellphone store," a black-haired woman with a friendly smile said to Ace."I'd like to purchase three flip phones. The first one in black, the second in white, and the third one in black as well," Ace requested. His words were light when mentioning the items he intended to buy, considering that flip phones were typically expensive. Fortunately, he could afford them, despite his recent mishap with mistakenly clicking on an internet notification."Wow! You're buying a lot of phones, sir," one of the salesclerks marveled. Ace was a wealthy and remarkable man.Ace held back his smile. Just buying three flip phones had already made the women swoon under his charm."Do you already have a girlfriend?" They flirtatiously asked, winking at Ace.Ace didn't respond. 'What's the point of having a girlfriend? It's a waste of time. There's no use in dating if y
Ace daydreamed, pondering Agatha, Richo, and Nathan while inside the car.(YOUR REMAINING BALANCE IS 83,763,500 MILLION DOLLARS)Ace was surprised and thought for a moment. "Why did it get depleted so quickly? My balance was still around 98 million dollars as far as I remember. Now, it suddenly dropped drastically."(BECAUSE THE CALCULATION OF THE DIAMONDS INCLUDES OUR ASSETS)(IT CAN BE CASHED OUT AND EXCHANGED)Ace's wealth system in his brain spoke up again, which eased Ace's mind. He had thought he had drawn too much money, especially for buying the limited edition necklace for Tammy.Ace sent a message to Agatha. He still had her ex-girlfriend's number, but he archived Agatha's chat. There was no chat history from their romantic relationship, everything had been deleted, including photos and videos of Agatha.Memories of the past were erased from his phone and Ace's memory."I will go to your dorm. I'll leave the package in front of your dorm door," Ace typed and told the taxi dr
(WAIT 3 MINUTES. WE WILL ISSUE A DIAMOND)Ace growled in frustration. "Hurry up! I need that diamond as soon as possible.""How about it, sir? Are you ready to pay 15 million dollars?" The jewelry store clerk asked, sighing tiredly as she waited for Ace, who remained still, not reaching for his wallet or money."Sorry, wait for me for just 3 minutes," Ace forced a smile. He also couldn't afford to pay for that necklace. There were no millions in his wallet, just a few small coins. He hadn't received his paycheck from his current job yet."Alright, sir. We'll wait for you," the clerk nodded.1 minute and 30 seconds passed, Ace checked the running timer. He was about to receive one diamond."Where are you giving my diamonds from? A hidden person?" Ace asked in his mind.No answer, only the sound of a machine processing something."Are you sure he can pay 15 million dollars?""I'm not sure. He doesn't even have a wallet. Look at him, he's been silent the whole time.""But he promised to
After the party ended at 7 PM, some of the employees chose to go home.Ace was still confused about the function of the 5-diamond item he had just received from his $100 million wealth system."Was she your boss before?" Rico asked after Ace sat down. He hadn't heard the conversation between Nathan and Ace.Rico was surprised when Ace kissed a woman without feeling embarrassed.Ace nodded. "And the woman I kissed earlier was my ex-girlfriend," Ace replied, his heart pounding as his lips landed on Agatha's."Hmm... you're quite brave. Kissing an ex in front of everyone. Do you still love her?" Rico asked seriously, noting that men often forget women quickly and find replacements in no time.Ace shook his head. "I'm focused on work now. I want to make myself happy first. Relationship issues can wait. Destiny is uncertain," the fresh and painful wound had made Ace traumatized and scared, as love had made him lose faith in feelings of love and loyalty.Rico smiled proudly; his younger bro
Ace stood up and walked toward Nathan, who was already waiting for him. He wouldn't be afraid of the challenge that Nathan was about to present to him.Nathan clapped his hands. "You're great, Ace! Hosting a party at the most expensive hotel. You truly are a tycoon," Nathan said in amazement. His applause was so loud that it drew the curiosity of several onlookers.Ace remained silent. He was, in fact, lazy and reluctant to accept Nathan's challenge. But since the wealth system would provide a diamond item, he reluctantly agreed to the challenge."By the way, I'm fed up with Agatha. So, I offer her to you again and to my friends," Nathan said with a sly smile, knowing that Ace would likely react with anger and resentment because Agatha had once meant a lot to him.Hearing the word "offer," Ace's mind instantly boiled. He clenched his fists tightly. "Agatha is not that kind of woman. Don't offer her to any man," he said, not willing to accept it. Agatha appeared to have no value in Nat
