Eden : Sudden Wealth System

Back to campus

Eden bought many things and even some clothes that he liked, but he couldn't buy them. He bought some of the services Bob, Dylan and Jack used to wear when the three men looked down on him for only wearing rags.

He used a card as payment, then rushed home because it was already afternoon. All day he takes a taxi that alternates if he usually walks. Eden's life has completely changed, but one thing he is still worried about, he still has a lot of money that he doesn't know how to spend it.

"You're wasting too much time and money just ordering a taxi. You'd better buy a car."

The writing that appeared on his cellphone wallpaper made him speechless. All his life, he never thought he could buy a car. He decided to ignore it first because he would still think about it. Because, after all, he… he's not good at driving a car.

"I know what you're thinking. If you can't ride in a car, you can ask someone to teach you. You have a lot of money, and don't waste it, or later, when you fail to spend it, the money will be withdrawn, and your whole life will be poor again."

Eden doesn't know how to write to determine his thoughts. Because he only thought that in his heart and the system might know it and talk to you using the writing on the wallpaper of his cell phone, which he was looking at as he was waiting for the taxi to come.

"I can do it, but I better go home first. My head still hurts a lot. I've been tired since earlier," he muttered as if answering a question from the system.

"You can hire the best doctor. Don't think too much, do it, or you will lose everything."

Eden took a deep breath and threw it away. He didn't answer or even think about anything because he had to go home first because he was too tired.

Shortly when he arrived, the taxi driver was a bit astonished because it was a rundown flat. In contrast, the passengers he was dropping off were people in sight has a lot of money even though his clothes were a little tattered because Eden doesn't change his clothes at all with the ones he bought.

"Are you sure this is your house?"

Eden looked at him, then smiled and nodded. "Yes, can you help me carry it? My leg hurts a bit," he said, making the taxi driver move slowly to open the trunk.

"You're not the wrong address, right? You have lots of groceries, but how come you even come to a slum place like this?" The taxi driver still asked, making Eden smile a little.

"I'm about to move soon but haven't had time to find suitable housing or a luxurious apartment. I just got home from the hospital to take care of all that. Maybe in the next few days, I will." Eden replied calmly, making the driver nod his head even though he didn't make sense.

Walking in the hallway of the rundown flat, Eden realized that he had been noticed by several residents who were surprised by what he was carrying. He was also noticed by the cats that became pets there as if the cat was also surprised by what he was doing.

"This is my flat. Thanks for helping. I have already transferred the money to you." Eden said while showing his cell phone screen, which showed proof of the transaction.

"Yes. You're welcome. Oh yes, I have info about housing or apartments that are good for you. I saved the number if you want." The driver said while opening his cell phone.

"Erm, can you give it to me."

The two exchange numbers, and Eden manages to get the number from the apartment owner, homes and other properties. He understood nothing but kept his cell phone after the taxi driver left.

Some of his neighbors are still watching with cynical and suspicious looks. All this time, they knew Eden as a poor man. How could he have the money to buy all that?

Inside, Eden unpacked her groceries and was silent for a few moments. Come on, and the man is too stupid and poor for something like this, so he needs to adapt longer. So far, he has never had much money, so when he did, he was confused.

"What if I try this outfit tomorrow? Maybe the female students will start to respect me because I'm a cleaner person and my clothes are less tattered. But I hate it when they bother me and wonder where I get the money.” Eden let out a lazy breath.

"I'd rather just wear a new T-shirt and jeans. At least my clothes are cleaner." Eden grinned softly. "I want to teach a lesson and show that I'm not poor anymore. But let's take it slow."

***

The next day, Eden wore new clothes and a new bag, put in some of the new books he had bought and didn't forget his cell phone. He was truly amazed by the change in himself. If all this time he had never had breakfast and immediately hurried off with a pack of bread, this time he could eat as much plain bread with peanut butter as he wanted, then drink tea and eat the fruits he had bought.

Eden goes to campus by taxi again and again. He was very happy today because he could leave with a fresh body and a full stomach. He would pay for his pending tuition fees, and he would show some people indirectly that he had everything.

In his hand, he held a book. He's been absent from school for a few days due to illness, and hopefully, he doesn't get scolded by the annoying head of his university foundation.

"If he nags at you, you can stuff his mouth with money. Such a man is not far from money, and he is a disgusting man."

Eden smiled, seeing the writing on his cell phone screen. He didn't know how the person who sent this letter understood him, but he would always know what Eden had felt.

"You're right, and I'd stuff his mouth with money like Jack did, Bob and Lylan. If they rely on their parents, then I will rely on myself to bring them to their knees under my feet. Let's see what I'll do next."

The taxi stops at the bustling university gate. Eden came out after paying, took his cane and walked slowly with the cynical looks of several students.

"How can he take a taxi? Isn't he poor?"

That's what some of the people he passed said. Eden stared at his vibrating cell phone, not seeing who was approaching him with an equally cynical look.

"You have to beat them smartly. Since you are still very innocent, I will give you a chance. Do you want to buy a magnificent house belonging to Matt's family, who is short of money? This opportunity is only once; agree quickly to conquer his son, Jack Matt!"

"Eden Flick, you're still alive, huh?"
