"Aslan, I thought you were going to pick out a few pieces of clothing, pick the ones you like, not buy them all," Devon whispered, he was worried too, because he himself was carrying a small amount of money.
The cashier, who knew Aslan's friends looked worried, grinned even more.
"Better think first before you are embarrassed because you can't pay, I often meet people like you, the style alone pretends to be able to buy a store, but it turns out there are only one hundred dollars in his pocket, it's embarrassing," said the beautiful cashier.
Aslan sighed tiredly, "I told you I'd buy everything, you don't have to worry."
Aslan took out his debit card, but the cashier laughed at him even more, because Aslan's debit card belonged to a minor, there was a cute lion picture too. Aslan didn't have time to change the card.
"You haven't upgraded your card yet, man?" Jaden whispered. Aslan shook his head slowly, "I had no time."
"Hey, if you're just a student like this, there can't be much money in it, only 200 dollars at most!" Mocked the cashier.
An annoyed David took out his own card, an adult card, so much different from Aslan's.
"Just use this! You don't have to mock my friend!" David said rather loudly, causing curiosity among the other customers. They were the center of attention, Aslan was embarrassed.
"No need David, I have more than enough money! Don't worry." Aslan hurriedly returned David's card, then glared at the pretty, unfriendly cashier.
"What if we make a bet, if my purchase is successfully paid for with this kid's card, you have to post my picture on your social media and say I'm the handsomest man you've ever met," Aslan suggested.
The pretty cashier's face turned red with embarrassment, but it seemed she had a pretty high ego, "okay, who's scared? If you can't pay, you have to do whatever I ask for two days!"
"Deal! Now let me pay!"
The pretty cashier was frightened to see Aslan so confident. The other store employees didn't dare bother the beautiful cashier, because she was the daughter of the store owner who wanted to help out as a cashier.
The 410 dollar payment was successful.
The beautiful cashier gaped in disbelief, "no way!"
Aslan smiled broadly, "now do as I ask, it's not hard is it?"
Embarrassed, the pretty cashier did as Aslan asked. The owner of the shop, or the girl's father, arrived, but instead of defending his daughter, he apologized to Aslan.
[Mission accomplished!]
[You get 820 dollars as a mission reward, will be sent to your bank account]
After that Aslan took a picture with the cashier girl, to post on her social media accounts. It turned out that the girl's name was Veronica and she had quite a lot of followers on social media, around 150 thousand followers, so it was only fitting that she was very embarrassed. But it was already a fitting punishment for making a scene and belittling the customer.
Veronica's father gave Aslan a brand-new jacket as an apology. After Aslan and his friends left the store, Aslan could still hear the man scolding Veronica.
"Don't you know that usually the ones who look unconvincing make a lot of money? Don't make any more noise!"
For some reason, Aslan found it funny when Veronica was scolded.
***
Aslan woke up very early, at four in the morning.
Aslan went straight to the roof of the dormitory, where he could exercise his muscles with the help of the videos he had bought. It was hard at first, but he got used to it over time.
It was just a warm-up and light exercise for beginners.
[You got an extra 500 points]
It turned out that he got an extra 500 points after the muscle training. Now Aslan decided to go for a short jog around the dormitory complex. After finishing jogging, it was still five in the morning, Aslan decided to play a relaxing game on the dormitory balcony to unwind. After getting bored, he chose to look at his system screen instead.
Aslan checked his status.
[Name: Aslan Kendrik]
[Age: 18 years old]
[Level: 1]
[Points: 1700]
[Strength: E]
[Intelligence: B]
[Appearance: A]
[Luck: C]
"My strength is still E, right?"
[Master has just done a day of muscle training, it is impossible to be strong immediately even if you has purchased fighting skills]
"You're right, oh yeah, isn't there a check in every day?"
[Master successfully checked in!]
[Check in reward this time is cooking skill]
[With cooking skills, master can cook better than before]
"No, no, before I just cooked casually, frying, steaming, boiling, it was easy, but with cooking skills I think it's like cheating, I have to cook breakfast now!"
Aslan went to the kitchen after that, there were still ingredients left over from yesterday. Usually Aslan was confused about what to cook, now several recipes immediately appeared in his brain, even though he hadn't known the recipe before.
"Is this because of my cooking skills? That's great. Oh yeah system, when I made breakfast yesterday, why didn't I get a prize? I only got it at dinner?"
[It's because of satisfaction, sir. They were happy at breakfast, but there was no satisfaction when they ate your cooking]
[They're just happy and full, no reward]
Aslan made a hurt face, "okay, I understand, I'm not good at cooking."
[Don't worry, you have cooking skills now!]
Aslan didn't respond, he chose to cut vegetables instead. He planned to cook only stir-fried vegetables and eggs. Breakfast doesn't have to be a heavy meal, as long as there's protein. Of course, rice can't be left out.
After finishing cooking, Aslan ran to the bathroom, he had to shower first before anyone entered the bathroom. Just as Aslan finished cleaning himself, he received a notification from the system.
[Friends are satisfied with your cooking!]
[You get an extra reward!]
[Please check the system account]
Aslan hurriedly checked his prize, because he was very curious.
Aslan's eyes widened to see 1500 dollars of digital money. Indeed, by exchanging points, Aslan could get a lot of money, but still 1500 dollars for Aslan was not small.
For now, his bank account had a balance of 2380 dollars. For Aslan, that's a lot of money.
He had been suffering in poverty, even though he was happy with his younger siblings in the orphanage, it was still undeniable that he had never earned that much money.
Happy? Of course, who wouldn't be happy with a lot of money? Aslan could use the money for business now.
He had to think about business, because he had to have a reason how he could have so much money. Aslan was sure he would get more money later.
He could have just stayed and had fun, but thinking about what Devon had said last night, he was sure he would open a business.
Finding a job was very difficult in Batavia city. So Aslan wanted to open a lot of job vacancies and help those who had difficulty getting a job.
Batavia is a large city with the largest population in the archipelago, with a population of 10.5 million. Even though Batavia has an area of about 650.5 km², smaller than other cities in the archipelago.
[That's a noble intention, the system will support you!]
"Thank you, system."
"Hey kid!" The familiar voice sent a chill down Aslan's spine, and sure enough, the new owner of the orphanage was waiting for him. Aslan hadn't thought anything of it before when a teacher said someone was looking for him, waiting in the lobby. Aslan's school had a kind of lobby to receive guests. At first, Aslan thought it was just the Messenger of the governor, who usually came to give books. The Messenger of the governor was very active in providing new quality books every month, which Aslan was very happy about, because he loved reading books. But seeing the harsh reality he received made him break out in a cold sweat. Why did that person come to the school at all? There was even a principal there. What was going on? "Have a seat, Aslan!" The principal said, smiling his usual friendly smile, as did the owner of the orphanage, Alonso by name. Alonso's friendly smile only gave Aslan goosebumps, it was terrifying. "I'm just here to see how you're doing, Aslan said he's grown
Aslan was wrong, Debby became more moody at the bookstore. The girl even bumped into someone because she wasn't focused. "I'm sorry," Debby said. "You use your eyes when you walk! Not only you already fat, you don't have eyes too!" The woman who Debby hit looked very angry, and her friend looked at Debby with an annoyed look too. Even though no one was injured from the incident, no items fell either, just a small nudge. "I apologize," Debby said again, like she was going to cry. So, Aslan left the book he wanted to look at, then approached Debby. "She apologized, why are you still angry?" Asked Aslan, he pulled Debby behind his body. "Are you her boyfriend? Tell your girlfriend not to stand carelessly, her body is big like a bulldozer, ignorance has its limits!" Said the friend of the woman who was hit by Debby. Both women looked like college students, they looked fashionable and wore the cheapest branded goods. The one Debby hit was a blonde, while her friend was a brunette. T
After two days, Aslan had to swallow his disappointment when he found out that Debby was still absent from school.During those two days, Aslan exercised regularly to increase his body strength. There was Devon who was happy to help him. Devon was very strong, he taught Aslan to fight, always accompanied Aslan to exercise in the morning too.In addition, Aslan had also discussed with Devon and David, what business they would do. Since David's uncle owned a chicken farm, and one of David's uncle's regular restaurants was going bankrupt, they decided to open a cafe with chicken as the main menu.Aslan did it all for his own future and to build his own strength. It's useless to have a system if you don't use it. Aslan had to open his own business. If it fails, he can start again from the beginning, because he has a lot of capital.Aslan also tries to buy shares in new companies that he thinks will improve rapidly in the future.For daily check-in, for two days Aslan was rewarded with a s
"Is that security guard really going to get fired?" That was the question Aslan asked as soon as he arrived at the Harland family mansion.The house was one of the most luxurious among the others. The view of the beach from the top floor was also very beautiful. White sand, coconut trees, beach waves, and the evening sky.Aslan was invited to sit in a room on the second floor, you could say it was a place close to the balcony, and the balcony itself was open. From where he sat, Aslan could see the beach. There were many sofas and chairs there, and a big screen television like a movie theater. Aslan tried hard not to look like a dork in that house.Debby always said she didn't deserve him, but when he arrived at Debby's house, it was Aslan who felt inadequate. Aslan's wealth was still nothing compared to the Harland family."Don't worry, he'll be fired, we don't like unprofessional people like that, let him be our business, you can drink the tea first, I'l
Aslan and Debby were more awkward than ever, that's because Debby's mom, Hannah, came over and asked why the two teenagers' faces were red.Aslan was at a loss for an answer, luckily the courier who had brought the apples for Debby had arrived. So Aslan and Hannah went down to check on the apples, while Debby showered and got ready."Are all these apples for Debby?" Hannah asked."Yeah, let Debby eat these apples at breakfast or when she wants a snack. They'll help her get fuller, they're also more nutritious than other fruits. You can also try it if you're curious."Hannah was intrigued by the apple, as its color was rather unique. It was pink with a reddish tinge, it was also bigger than a normal apple, and it gave off a tantalizing aroma."I'll try one.""Go ahead."Hannah took one apple and put the other away. After washing it, she cut the apple and ate it. Aslan watched, afraid that Hannah wouldn't like it, because according to Aslan, who had tried it first, it was sweeter and ju
Aslan never thought before, if his dorm mates were very famous. Previously Aslan didn't really know Kevin, because Kevin himself was quite mysterious. Kevin was the type of student who was diligent, his only job was to study and prioritize grades, because he also received a scholarship.Aslan used to think Kevin was quite greedy, because he was already rich, but also very ambitious with scholarships. However, Aslan's thinking has now changed. Because the reality was that not only did Kevin have a rich family, a smart brain, but he was also very popular on social media.By that time they had already had dinner, with Aslan's fried rice, seafood fried rice because Jaden gave them shrimp and squid. After dinner, they discussed again the promotion that Kevin had said.First of all, Kevin asks for all the products that will be sold. So Aslan goes back to his room, to decide what he will sell.Beauty products such as soap, body lotion, shampoo and various other skincare can be sold freely as
Since there were only eight people in the dorm plus Jaden so there were nine, there was still a lot left over, so Aslan shared it with the people he met. Like the man sweeping the streets, the elderly neighbors and of course Johnny and his wife."You don't have to bother buying food, what if you run out of money?" said Rina, Johnny's wife."I'm fine, I'm helping an old vendor," Aslan replied."Okay, this is for you, share it with others too," Rina handed Aslan the crackers, many of which were in a large container.Even though Aslan was struggling to carry the groceries and the container of crackers, he thanked her and returned to the dormitory.Some people had already woken up, so Aslan quickly distributed the food to them.After returning to the living room, only David was awake, already facing his laptop."David, what are you doing? Let's eat first," Aslan approached David to see what his friend was doing and handed him the packet of food."Oh, I was just checking the market place a
"Aslan!"Aslan heard a voice that was so familiar to him, several small children came running up to Aslan.They were children from the orphanage, of course they recognized Aslan as their older brother. Since the orphanage and the town square were quite close, the orphanage children often went there on holidays. That was also why Aslan went to the town square.The orphanage children used to go without an adult, and Aslan used to take them, but now he didn't live there anymore. Seeing those children looking shabby in makeshift clothes made Aslan's heart ache. Not to mention the hurtful looks the people around there gave to them."Are you guys all right?" Aslan asked."We're fine!" One of them replied.Aslan knew that even if something bad happened to them, they would still say they were fine."No, tell me the truth, is it really okay at the orphanage? What about Aunt Linda?" Aslan asked.The children now looked worried, and one of them said, "Aunt Linda is fine, but she cries a lot now,
