The person who greeted Travis was the head of the neighborhood association, Aron, who was not even responsible for his own mother, asked the head of the neighborhood association to take care of his mother's funeral.
After learning about Travis' situation, the neighborhood chief asked Travis to stay at his grandmother's house instead.
After he left, Travis cleaned up his grandmother's house. Since he was already hungry, he used the reward money from the system to buy food.
[You can only buy healthy food, no junk food]
That was the order from the system, so Travis bought a rather expensive meal from a restaurant online.
"Ugh, this smartphone is already slow, it's just annoying." Travis muttered.
He got the smartphone from someone else two years ago. Because Travis was willing to clean his house every day and iron his clothes, Travis was given the smartphone for free. But it was only an object that had been used more than two years.
Travis didn't mind at all.
But, now it was time for him to change smartphones.
Before going out of town, his mom gave Travis 1,000$. She said it should be enough for the next month.
[You can buy a smartphone with that money]
[Don't worry, you'll get even more money after the mission]
"What mission?"
[For now, the system wants you to change your body for the better]
[In one week, you must use a set of glow ups and exercise]
[You should also take care of your health by eating healthy food]
[If you manage to lose weight well, you will get a reward from the system]
Travis paused for a moment. The mission that the system told him sounded easy, but the practice would not be that easy.
Even so, Travis did need it.
He didn't want to always be teased by people, and being fat made it difficult to move, easily exhausted, and diseases easily came.
Suddenly a box appeared in front of Travis, he thought, it must be the glow up set that the system meant. So, Travis opened it immediately.
He saw a few things that he didn't understand.
[The small glass bottle one is a health potion, drink it every day in the morning before exercise]
[Then the small round glass bottle is a special potion that you should mix with water and soak in it]
[Soak every day in the afternoon for ten minutes in warm water]
[Then the blue container is a special face wash to use in the morning after waking up and at night before going to bed]
[Then the white container is a special sunscreen, used every time you go outdoors]
[Everything in there is special for you, not to be sold to others, because it has a very high level of effectiveness compared to products in this world]
Travis looked back at all the items from the system.
He would start bathing with the potion and using the face wash.
Travis held up the blue container, which was a face wash that looked just like any other facial foam sold out there.
Then the sunscreen is also like ordinary sunscreen, physical sunscreen.
Travis' reverie had to be broken when the courier who delivered his food arrived.
"Travis?"
Travis recognized the courier, he was Travis's classmate, who was actually bullied like Travis because he was nerdy and had rather dark skin. But he wasn't as bad as Travis.
"Oh, Justin..."
"Why do you live here, did you and your parents move in?" Justin asked.
Travis looked the other way, he didn't know whether to tell Justin about his situation or keep quiet.
[He's a good person and is sincere with you, you can trust him]
If the system said so, then Travis would try to open up to Justin.
"My mom divorced my dad and I was told to stay here, mom went out of town." Travis said.
Justin looked very surprised, but then he tried to act normal.
"You okay?"
How many times had Travis heard such a question, usually he felt annoyed by the question. Because they should have known if he wasn't okay, why still ask?
However, Travis this time felt a little happy with that little attention.
"I'm not okay, but you don't have to worry about me, I'm used to this, and I think it's better for me."
Justin actually knew Travis's situation, he also knew Travis's father liked to drink and often beat Travis. So he also agreed that Travis would be better off living there on his own.
"Can I come here to keep you company?" Justin asked, which surprised Travis.
"You... want to keep me company?"
Justin nodded, "Yeah, is that okay? If not, I won't-"
"Of course you can!"
After that no one dared to say anything, both were busy with their own thoughts.
Until Justin realized that he had to go back and report to work.
"I have to go, Travis."
Travis replied with a slow nod.
Justin took off on his motorcycle.
Travis closed the door to his grandmother's house, then prepared to eat because he was very hungry.
After eating, he of course tried to soak in the special potion the system was referring to.
The grandmother's bathroom was quite nice and modern. It did have a bathtub, although it was a little worn, but it worked well.
Grandma had asked for a bathtub in her bathroom, because she had a sudden urge to take a warm bath.
Travis remembered that he was ten years old. His mother had been nagging him because his father had made a bathtub for grandma with the money his mother earned.
That time they had a big fight, how could Travis forget it.
Grandma was not a good mother-in-law to his mother, only demanding money, but not willing to consider his mother her daughter in-law.
After the herb was mixed with the warm water Travis had prepared, the water turned slightly green.
Travis tried to soak there for ten minutes, but it was very difficult because the water became very hot. Though Travis was sure he had measured the right warmth for soaking.
It feels hot and spicy, Travis doesn't know how.
What was certain was that after the ten minutes was over, he immediately jumped out of the bathtub.
To his surprise, the water turned black.
"What happened to the water?" muttered Travis, he quickly grabbed a large towel to wrap around his body.
"There's no way I'm going to bathe like this every afternoon for seven days, right?"
[Sorry master, but you'll quickly get used to that water]
[The potion helps you remove all the dirt from your body, all the fat that you don't need]
[Made from natural herbs from the mountains of Elvestra, which they used to make baths that-]
"Okay, enough! I don't understand what you mean. Just let me finish my bath."
[Tsk, okay]
[The herb helps you to remove dirt, fat that your body doesn't need, diseases from your body.]No wonder Travis felt light after the bath, even though the bath was like torture for him.Travis also tried the facial wash, which was nice because it had a lot of foam. After washing his face, his face felt soft and supple. He loved it.In the morning, he washed his face again, and then drank a health potion that was a rather disgusting color, a strange dark green. He was relieved that it didn't taste bad."What exercise should I do?" Travis muttered.[Just walk, master][You can walk for thirty minutes at a leisurely pace]It's that easy?"Then, can I do it while going to school? Since it's also thirty minutes away from here, even more."[Of course it's no problem, master!]"Thankfully, but since today is a holiday, I'll do it later on Monday. For now, I'll just go around the neighborhood."[Cheer up, master!]With light steps, Travis left his grandmother's house and walked leisurely arou
Travis no longer feels hot or spicy when soaking in the bathtub. He's getting used to it and ten minutes is no more.Travis has bought a device to measure his own weight and height. Because even though the system can measure it, it still feels unsatisfying if you don't know directly.He was quite surprised when the digital weight scale showed 90.50, which meant Travis' weight was around ninety kilograms.Why did it go down so fast, when this afternoon according to the system there were still about a hundred kilograms.Travis took the clothes from the small plastic closet, and they became very big."Oh my! I can be this skinny?" Travis muttered when he saw his reflection in the full-length mirror. His clothes were very loose and even his pants had to be tied with a belt.[You should buy clothes, master!]The system was right.Travis immediately ordered an online taxi to go to the shopping center in the big city. The big city where Travis lived had many luxurious shopping centers, built
Roni and Cathy gaped at the cashier's words. The helpful intern was arranging all the clothes into paper bags with a big smile. She was sure she had gotten the customer who bought the most that day, so her boss must have given her a bonus."Here are your purchases, sir... please come again if you want to buy anything."Travis accepted the groceries with a happy heart. He trusted the clerk to pick out the most suitable clothes for him.He himself was not familiar with fashion."Can I use the dressing room to wear just one outfit? Because the clothes I'm wearing are already baggy." Travis asked.The employee escorted Travis to the changing room.Meanwhile, Roni and Cathy still couldn't believe what they saw."Did he just steal?" asked Cathy."I think so." said Roni."Let's report it to the police-""No stop! If my dad finds out, I get beaten up again, remember your idea to make Travis wash dishes for a week at the restaurant? My dad found out from the restaurant owner and he beat me wit
"You guys are rude for collecting a debt that doesn't belong to my friend in a public place like this," said Justin, he was blocking Travis from the two bad-looking guys."It's okay Justin, I'm used to this." Travis said."Even though you're used to it, it doesn't mean they can be mean to you." Vicky said.Travis stood up and asked the two men to talk about his father's debt properly. Travis grabbed the bag he was carrying and left with the two men.His friends could only stare at Travis and the two men walked away. But Justin quietly followed them because he was worried about Travis.After arriving outside the cafe, Travis stopped, then looked at the two men with a flat stare.He was upset about his father being in debt.But also not surprised at all.In the past, it was his mother who was always billed for every debt his father owed. His father always lost at gambling.But if he won, Travis and his mother never enjoyed the money. His father used the money to have fun with other wome
"Haahh... haah." Travis was catching his ragged breath. That morning he felt that just walking to school wasn't enough exercise, so he took the initiative to go for a morning run around the housing complex. But he had only been running for two minutes, he already felt tired.It seemed like his stamina was very poor.[You don't have to push yourself, master]"I know, but I want to get strong quickly, I... don't want to always be afraid and not fight back when bullied. I'm so upset, I want to fight back, but I can't." Travis said. He sat down in a small park near the highway, because he was tired after running for two minutes.[The system wants you to change, but not instantly.][The system may give you instant power, but besides money, instant is not good, there are risks.][You can try a morning run like this, or go to the gym][But you shouldn't push yourself, because it's not good][The health potion you drink every morning makes your stamina increase every day][So you don't have
Somehow, Aron managed to break away from June. Travis didn't expect his father to be so strong."If you're the defense minister's son, then I'm the president's son! Don't fool me, damn it! This is my business with my son, you don't need to interfere." Aron said.June just grinned, he walked over to Travis and hid Travis behind him.Travis was surprised because he was now the same height as June! But he was fuller than June. Although June was thin and tall, he was very strong."This is a school environment, you can't just do whatever you want even if it's your child. The school is the students' second home, as the student council president, I have the right to protect the students here."Aron looked angry, but he couldn't do anything about it either."Alright, meet me after school, Travis, but for now, give me some money." Aron said.Travis couldn't believe his father was still like that, after saying that he didn't want to consider Travis his son anymore."You're a father, what father
Travis looked at himself in the mirror, his uniform had been replaced with a new one. He bought it from a student who suddenly offered his unused uniform, saying it was too big. Travis bought it without a second thought.Travis didn't recognize the student, he was smaller and looked very young, despite actually being the same age as Travis."Can I open that present?" Travis muttered, more like a whisper, very quietly for fear of anyone hearing him.[You have two unopened presents, master!][Do you want to open them all?]"Yes," Travis replied quickly.[The first prize is an Arch KRGT sports bike priced at 85,000$][The second prize is a small apartment worth 350,000$]Travis almost fainted from the shock of all the prices. How could he ever own something with that much value?"But, I still want to live in grandma's house." Travis muttered.He planned to make grandma's house bigger. After all, grandma had made the house and the land belong to Travis, the only grandson she had.Then, ne
Travis thought he would be taken straight to the store, but it turned out that he was still being taken around the biggest mall in the city."This is my grandfather's mall, the plan is to pass it on to me, Liz's mom's shop is the biggest one on the fourth floor. He rented out the fourth floor for his shop." Vicky said.Travis was silent and nodded his head, he was at a loss as to how to react, because he already knew that the mall belonged to Vicky's family.Of course Vicky and Lizzy when compared to Travis were just like heaven and earth, they were the heaven, Travis the earth.After buying mango smoothies, they finally went up to the fourth floor."If you want to buy anything else, just say so... oh yeah, I'll buy it for you, my treat." said Vicky."Oh, no need, I have the money, take it easy."Hearing Travis' answer, Vicky and Lizzy looked at each other."Travis, no need to refuse help, we really want to help you and your friend." said Lizzy.Travis smiled, "no, I really have money
