Become Rich With A Trivial System

Chapter 4 - First Mission or First Simulation First?

After enjoying his dinner, Jack quickly got up from the table and went to his room.

"Thanks, Mom!" he said and kissed his mother on the cheek.

Matilda was stunned for a moment to receive such treatment.

There was a warm feeling when Jack kissed her and called her mom.

Once she was sure that Jack had entered his room, the woman spoke to herself.

"He has been acting very strangely since earlier! Not only is his attitude towards me very warm, but he also calls me Mom!"

Murmuring softly, Matilda continued to look at Jack's room with a smile on her lips.

"Could it be that he has finally opened his heart and accepted me as his mother?"

Matilda is the second wife of Gunnar, Jack Andrews' biological father, who died two years ago.

Since the death of his first wife, the old man, a retired military officer, remarried Matilda.

Jack Andrews disapproved of the marriage, so he never called the woman "Mom," only by her name.

Matilda didn't know that Jack Andrews had also died in the barracks.

So she was both surprised and pleased by the change in Jack's attitude toward her, whom she thought was Jack Andrews.

"I must be able to earn his trust and not hurt his feelings again," the woman said.

Meanwhile, in the room, Jack was a little surprised.

Almost all of the photos on the wall, from young Jack Andrews to adulthood, looked exactly like him.

Not only that, but when Jack opened the closet, all of Jack Andrews' clothes fit him perfectly.

"This is truly a unique coincidence!" Jack thought as he took a nightgown out of the closet.

"Jack, as long as I'm in this world, I'm going to use your room and all your things, so please don't be mad at me, okay?"

Jack addressed his words to Jack Andrews as if the deceased young man was with him.

After getting dressed, Jack climbed into bed and activated his system.

"Hello Jack, welcome back!"

Quantara's soft and melodious voice echoed in his ears again.

Although Jack could see the girl in front of him, no one else could, as the quantum system panel was only visible to him.

"Luckily, you're just an AI! Otherwise, I might consider making you my girlfriend!" Jack said with a slight smile, teasing Quantara.

"Thank you! I'll take that as a compliment!" the AI replied with a sweet smile.

However, as if unfazed by Jack's teasing, the AI continued.

"What would you like to know now?"

"Please show me the information about me again!"

"Of course, with pleasure!"

With that, Quantara disappeared from the panel, which was now replaced by several lines of information.

[Name: Jack Eldrone]

[Level: Novice]

[Missions Completed: 0]

[Points: 0]

[Training Simulation: 0]

[Power Level: 0]

[Super Skills: 0]

[Balance: 100 RG]

Apart from the amount of money he had earned for the day, there was no valuable information displayed by his system.

"Quantara, can you show me the missions I can take?"

"Sure! These missions are valid starting tomorrow and have been adjusted to your level."

Quantara's voice echoed in his ears again.

The information panel disappeared and was replaced by another one.

[Level: Novice]

[Missions Available:

1. Cooking for the elderly in a nursing home;

2. Take care of the pets of an elderly paralyzed woman;

3. Accompanying an orphaned child to her first day of school;

4. ... ]

"Is this all a joke?" Jack muttered after looking at the list of available missions.

"Didn't that mysterious man say he needed me as a bodyguard? Then what kind of missions are these?"

Jack scratched his non-itching head several times, feeling that the available missions were not typical tasks for a personal security guard, but rather for a social worker.

"Quantara, are you sure you didn't give me the wrong list?"

"One hundred percent sure! I am the latest generation of AI technology, even smarter than humans. My probability of making a mistake on a task is 0.0001 percent!"

Jack just shook his head.

"Okay, it's up to you! Are there no other missions?"

"Of course, there is a list of special missions at this level that you can also choose! These missions have even bigger rewards than those in the previous list!"

"Please show them to me now!" Jack asked.

The panel in front of him changed again, showing another list.

[Level: Novice]

[Special Missions Available:

1. Be a tour guide for students;

2. Guard a convenience store on the outskirts of town;

3. ... ]

Once again, Jack was left speechless by the list in front of him.

"Really? What kind of mission list is this? Why do I have the feeling that this mysterious man is playing with me?" Jack muttered.

Before becoming a waiter, Jack had changed jobs several times.

One of them was as an assistant store manager, where he was in charge of storing merchandise and serving customers.

"Is that all?" Jack asked.

"Sure! Those are all the missions available for now!"

For a moment, Jack felt that the mysterious man might be playing with him. So he had to make sure of one thing.

"Quantara, can I use the money in the account now?" Jack asked again.

"Of course, Jack! You can withdraw your money and use it anywhere in the kingdom!"

"It seems like the man isn't playing with me! But why do all these missions he gave me seem so trivial?" he thought.

Jack took a deep breath and exhaled it lazily, feeling a bit useless.

But then his gaze fell on the last line of the list.

"Wait! Is what I see true?" he thought. "It seems quite interesting!"

Feeling a bit excited about what he had just seen, he said confidently.

"Alright, I want to select the last mission!"

The last mission, or the tenth on the list, was to babysit a beautiful twenty-one year old girl from a wealthy family for three days.

"A babysitter for a girl?" Jack wondered in his mind. "Doesn't that sound like too much?"

But he quickly dismissed such excessive thoughts.

"Huh, let alone three days! Even if it's a year, I'll gladly do it! Hahaha!" Jack thought again.

But Quantara's next reply surprised him.

"Apology, Jack! You are not allowed to choose special missions until you have completed a simulation exercise."
