Oscar exited the boutique and flagged down a cab.
"Where to?" the taxi man asked. His eyes unconsciously darted below to the shopping bags at Oscar's feets. He couldn't help but draw in a deep breath. "Palma lane, Boli street" Oscar gave his home address" "That would be five dollars" the taxi man said in reminder. "The faster you go, the more tips you earn" Oscar smiled calmly, causing the taxi man's eyes to lit up. Oscar got in and the taxi man started the ignition. Oscar couldn't help but check the system for his progress. In just a day, he already made a 208 centi points. However, he had no idea what to do with these points.-[You can use centi points to upgrade skills, items and draw the lottery] he heard that annoying voice in his head. It belonged to the artifact spirit. "You can speak in my head?" Oscar was amazed. -[I am the Artifact spirit of the medallion. As the new host, we are capable of mental communication]"Awesome. So, you said i can use centi points to buy skills?" Oscar tried clicking on the "SHOP" tab, but it kept showing YOU HAVE NO SHOP PERMIT -[You must get a shop permit to purchase things from the shop. You can only get a shop permit by drawing the lottery] Oscar nodded in understanding, clicking on the 'LOTTERY TAB'-[Lottery]-You have 10 lottery spins Like a another spin wheels in games, the lottery was circular. It had the below segmentsThanks for playingSkillItemCenti pointShop permitCultivation ResourceFeature unlocked (x limitless) Oscar made his first spin. To his delight, the arrow landed on the 'SKILL' section.-[You have recieved skill.. Car Driving] "Not bad" Oscar wasn't disappointed. He was optimistic he would gain more valuables after spinning again. And so, with much faith and enthuiasm, he casted the second spin.-[Thanks for playing]. . .-[Thanks for playing]. . .-[Thanks for playing]. . ."What the hell!" Oscar felt like vomiting blood. He didn't expect that he got nothing even after exhausting the rest of the lottery spins. As for the skill 'Car Driving' how was that even a skill! He could just pay to learn how to drive a car in a friggin' driving school! "This system is a pure scam! Argh!" if the system was a human, Oscar would surely punch it to death.-[Spin again for 2 centi points] Seeing the new notification, Drew tried to calm himself down. He still had 104 spins right? There's no way he wouldn't get anything good.-[Thanks for playing]-[Thanks for playing]-[Thanks for playing]-[Thanks for playing]. . . Only after the tenth spin did the arrow fall on the a new section. Cultivation Resources!-[You have recieved potion.. Eros Semen] Wtf! Oscar almost had the urge to vomit. Whoever invented this system was crazy! to hell with this system! Just as he wanted to shut the system, Hunks voice rang in his head.-[I'd advise Host to check the descreption of item before thinking to discard it] "What's the point. Whoever created this system is a bonafide pervert!" Oscar claimed self righteously.-[You speak like as if you are a saint] Hunks remarked, his tone laced with mockeqy. "What do you mean?" Oscar frowned.-[Do you think i don't know about those time when you watch those licentious videos?] "Hey! how dare you peep at my memories!" Oscar shrieked in fright. The righteous facade he tried building completely crumbled.-[We are in a state of symbiosis. Naturally, i can acess your memories and thoughts] "That's invasion of privacy!" Oscar whined. Yep! whoever created this system was an award winning pervert with no equal!-[Quit whining and check on the item] Oscar grumbled to himself as he checked the info of the rewarded item he got after drawing the lottery.-[ITEM INFO]- Eros is regarded as the god of vitality in Dragonslav mythology. The semen of Eros is a cheap imitation of the real semen of Eros- By ingesting a drop, a man at the brink of death can fully recover Oscar was shocked when he read the info. Apart from the strange name, he had to admit that the item was good stuff. A bottle, the size of a grown man's thumbs appeared on his palm. Inside it was a floating white liquid. Oscar stowed it into the system inventory. Now motivated, he attempted to continue his lottery spins. However, he noticed that the car had suddenly stopped. "We have arrived at your location" the cab man announced. "Oh" Oscar hummed. He was too busy drawing the lottery that he lost the essence of time. Just as he wanted to alight, he suddenly remembered that he could only make payment through the Centi Card.-[On it] Hunks seemed to have read his mind.-[Linking the Centi Card to Host Bank Account.. INITIALIZING ACTION.. IN PROGRESS..] "Sir, i said we've arrived at your destination" the taxi man repeated after noticing the customer wasn't making an attempt to leave.."Uhm, give me a moment. The seatbelt is stuck" Oscar lied. "You need a hand?" "No no. It's okay"-[PING! Centi Card has been sucessfully linked to Host Bank Account] Oscar sighed in relief. He alighted down and transferred hundred bucks to the driver, using his outdated nokia phone. Seeing the credit alert, the taxi man showered him with endless thanks before happily driving off. Oscar smiled when he saw just how happy the taxi man was. He couldn't help but recall those times when fattie Cargo would defend him from bullies and gift him some cash. "I'll treat him to a sumptous meal when i return to campus" he made a mental note. Boli street was a ghetto area across Palma lane. It was once budgeted to be a staff quarter for a big company. However, the contractor duped the company of their money, travelling out of the country. A huge majority of the papartments were worn down. The smell of the gutters was quite disturbing to stomach. Oscar arrived at his apartment which was at the end of the street.But to his greatest surprise, he saw many of his stuffs leaning against the door post. "Huh?" just when Oscar was confused as at what was happening, he saw a black sedan drive by, stopping before him. Henry came out, following behind him was an old man who had a fawning smile. "What are you doing here?" Oscar felt like rushing over to Henry and giving him a good beating. But he held himself back since the latter would use it as an excuse to throw him inside jail. "Landlord Brock, do you know this guy?" he turned towards the old man behind Henry. He was the landlord of his apartment. "Yes. Young master Henry bought this house for one million dollars. Here is your quit notice" Landlord Brock threw a paper slip at Oscar's feets. Reading the contents of the 'quit notice' he immediately lost it. "Is this a joke or what? My rent has not expired yet! i still have two more months!" "Hmph. If i say it has expired then it has" Henry sniggered."You.. just why are you hell bent on making life miserable for me huh? You already have Laura, why do you still keep on picking on me huh?" "Because i enjoy it. C'mon start packing up before i have someone help you do so. Oh? and what!s up with those shopping bags? Don't tell me you've already become someone's servant boy?" Henry laughed mockingly. "Since you want me to leave, i would. But i promise you that one day, you'll regret ever offending me!" Oscar said with so much conviction. "Heh. What can a lousy piece of trash like you possibly do?" too bad Henry didn't take his words seriously.Oscar watched silently as Henry arrogantly entered his car and drove off.He felt like rushing over and venting out his anger. However, even though he loved boasting and cracking jokes, he was no idiot.Even if he won he would still be on the loosing end since Henry could just use his family background to have him arrested for violence."I am sorry kid" Landlord Brock flashed Oscar an apologetic smile.However, the latter just snorted in annoyance.Landlord Brock sighed. He had to clear the air, or this kid might just misunderstand."Did you really think that the rich brat from earlier really bought my house?""I am not interested to know. That is your business, not mine" Oscar coldly replied.Landlord Brock smiled. He could perfectly understand Oscar's anger."He threatened me with my daughter's life to play along and drive you out of my house. You might not know this but that brat is part of the Blood Blade gang" Landlord Brock explained fearfully.The Blood Blade gang was a terrify
Nitro Motors was a well known car dealership shop in the whole of Laurel lane. Although they didn't sell cars above one million bucks, their cars were flashy and nice.A taxi parked at the entrance and Oscar got out. He transferred fifty bucks to the taxi man.Adjusting his clothes, he took large strides into the huge building."Hello sir! what car do you want to buy?" a a young female staff rushed over to Oscar's side.She had light make-up. However, that did little to admire her natural beauty."Mind if i see the catalogue?" Oscar beamed.Thanks to those movies he usually watched, he knew how to act in such a situation."Yes!" the female staff grabbed a catalogue, handing it over to Oscar.After flipping through the list of cars and their price ranges, he returned his attention back to the beautiful female staff."Uhm. I didn't get your name" he winked at her."Lela""Nice name for a beautiful woman" Oscar beamed."Are you flirting with me?""I was complimenting you. I just couldn't
Natasha was dumbfounded. Did she just get sacked? no! no!She must be mishearing things!Seeing that Natasha made no attempts to leave but instead gawked at him like an idiot, Davis called for security to throw her out."Ah! i am sorry for the misunderstanding" he smiled apologetically at all the customers in the shop before turning his attention over to Oscar."As an apology, i!d be offering a five percent discount on whatever you'd be buying today"Oscar beamed."Great. So i will be buying this.. and that" he pointed at two cars on the catalogue."Uhm, that's a Bentley flying spur. It costs three hundred thousand Bucks. Oh, and the land rover range rover costs two hundred thousand. Summing everything up gives us five hundred thousand bucks. Are you going to pay via installment or via bank mortgage?"Lela questioned quite professionally. Oscar just smiled.Via installment? *huff*"I Will be making direct full payment. Give me your shop's bank details" he brought his phone out.Howeve
"Sir, there's no need for that" Sean replied respectfully. "Do you mind checking the house first before making the payment?" "I'd rather do it now" Oscar smiled faintly. Hearing his reply, Sean's face twitched a bit. "Alright. But i'll have to link you up with the owner so you can make the purchase. We are just a third party" he explained. "Do your thing" Oscar plopped back onto the waiting bench and began playing games on his phone. Sean laughed dryly and put a call across. "Hello Mr. Weymer" "What is it Sean?" a matured voice rang from the other end, containing hints of impatience. "A lad is at my place. He wishes to buy your estate's West Eagle manor" Sean chuckled. "Say what?!" the other party gasped in shock. "I'd advise you hurry up or this lad might change his mind" Sean clicked his tongue, ending the call. He couldn't help feeling some pride. White Lotus Garden was a luxury estate owned by Mr. Weymer and two of his cousins who were major share holders.The estate w
Mr. Weymer finally left after some bits of idle chats with Oscar. During their discussion, he had tried many times to goad Oscar into revealing his identity. Too bad Oscar was extremely shameless and thick skinned, dismissing the probings and pretending to be dumb. Helpless, Mr. Weymer could only bid his fare well to Oscar, but not before leaving a card behind. "This is a diamond tier ownership card. If you are to patronize any of our business within the estate, you would be accorded with the highest tier elite treatment" Oscar remembered Mr. Weymer's words after he dropped the card. Inspecting the card, he couldn't help but marvel at the extravagent card made out of precious stone. Stowing the card into the system inventory, he brought out his phone, noticing the damaged screen. "I'll get a new one" he mumbled merrily. At that moment, he felt a pang of hunger. Apart from the mini bar, there was nothing consumable in the house.... Crusty Krab was a pretty well known resta
Dehliah gave Oscar an impatient look before replying."Pardon, but i am not obliged to answer that question. The top floor is off-limits"Oscar didn't keep bothering her. Dehliah led him into one of the VIP rooms. When Oscar saw the interior, he sucked in cold breaths.The VIP Room was half the size of the first floor. There was a large empty dining table and a plasma. The walls and floor were tiled with a kind of tiles that Oscar didn't know. But he definitely knew it was bound to be expensive.Inhaling the orchid scent, Oscar unconsciously mumbled."Wow!""There are only six VIP rooms in the restaurant. Usually, renting one of such rooms is thirty thousand dollars per hour. But since you have a diamond tier ownership card, you can dine in here anytime you want. There is also a landline where you can call the kitchen staffs and make your orders. Don't forget to pay up at the cashier booth after eating. Enjoy your meal!"After Dehliah left, Oscar spent five more minutes admiring the VI
After Organic chemistry class came two more classes before it was finally lunch time. "Hey, where do you think you are off to huh?" a group of six boys blocked Oscar's path, as he was walking through the hallway that led to the canteen. At the lead, was a smirking Bill. "What is the meaning of this?" Oscar frowned. Although the commotion wasn't that large it garnered the interest of some students who stopped and watched from the side lines. Bullying was a commmon thing in KYC. As such, nobody stepped out to oppose Bills injustice. They just stood there, gloating at Oscar's misfortune. "Are you retarded? the canteen isn't a place you can afford a meal. You should scram and start cleaning up" Bill said in a natural manner. That was when Oscar remembered that his clean up time was during lunch break. A confident smile tugged on his lips. "I quit the janitor job" "Huh?" Oscar's reply came unexpected to Bill and even the surrounding students. "You.. You quit? when?""Just now. C
Everybody in the court were dumbstruck at Oscar's level of confidence. They were quite eager to watch him make a fool of himself after his crazy blabberings. Afterall, it was public knowledge that he had never engaged in any physical sport activity. "Alright, the guy with the highest point wins. One shot gives two points. A dunk gives five. Everyone in the court will be doing the calculations" After Oscar and Jonas both voiced their agreement with the arrangement, Jonas made the first move, racing towards the hoop. "Damn, is he a snail" thanks to the system's level ups, although it wasn't as exaggerated as moving like a snail, Jonas running speed was quite slow in Oscar's eyes. Jonas grinned after he obtained a favourable position. Just as he made to take a shot, a pair of strong arms slapped the ball away. "Thanks!" Oscar smiled heartwarmingly, the ball now in his hold. "Impossible!" Jonas gasped like he had just seen a ghost. Not just him though, the whole court was!Oscar ha
