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 terrifying gang in Palma lane. Their members were all ruthless and engaged in criminal acts.

Oscar never would've expected Henry, a young richie to be part of such a group.

"I understand. I forgive you" Oscar said after some time.

"Since you have no place to go, i can secretely shelter you till you find a place" Landlord Brock suggested.

"Thank you!"

And so, Oscar moved his stuffs into Landlord Brock's place. Landlord Brock was an old widower with an adult daughter who worked as a waitress in a local restaurant.

She was married and lived with her husband. As such, Landlord Brock's place had enough space to accomodate an extra person.

Night arrived and Landlord Brock prepared pasta, which he ate with Oscar.

Getting to his new room, Oscar slumped down on the mattress and opened the system panel.

He began drawing the lottery.

-[Thanks for playing]

-[Cultivation Resource]

Oscar was pleasantly surprised that he got the lottery arrow hit a 'reasonable' section so fast.

He quickly checked what item he got.

-[You have recieved an item.. Mana fruit]

At that moment, a fruit materialized on his palm. It was dark orange and had a smooth pericarp. Oscar couldn't resist taking a bite.

Hmm..~

The mana fruit tasted like mango and pineapple combined. Greedy, he shoved the remaining mana fruit into his mouth.

Fvck!

Oscar felt a wave of energy gush into his body. He felt his internal organs heating up as the energy washed over his bones, scorching them to the point that they almost melted.

At that moment, three bars appeared on the system screen

Cultivation

Energy

Health

Soul

The cultivation bar was purple. Energy bar was red, Soul bar was gold and Health bar blue. Currently, the Cultivation Bar was filled to the brim, causing it to glow brilliantly.

-[Congratulations! Host has leveled up!]

-[Host has recieved +5 shop permits and +1 skill manual for achieving first level up!]

Oscar was confused. Level up?

However, now was not the time to think of all this because he could feel his body brimming.

He had never felt this pumped up in his entire life.

Ah!~

He threw a punch at the concrete wall.

Ouch!

Although he felt a light sting on his knuckles, the result stunned him speechless.

A crack, the size of a baby thumb had appeared on the concrete wall.

"Awesome! maybe this system isn't as bad as i thought it to be!" Oscar laughed happily.

Wasn't this system literally offering him wealth and strength on a silver platter.

Hmph! Give me ten years. No two years and i'll become the strongest man in the world!

At that time, i can snag any beauty. If her boyfriend dares make a sound, i'll just give him a beating.. Pui pui!

I am not a bad person. Ah! it must've been a slip in tongue!

Oscar calmed his racing heart and continued drawing the lottery. -[Thanks for playing]

-[Thanks for playing]

-[Thanks for playing]

-[Thanks for playing]

* * *

Only after the ninth draw did the arrow land on the 'CULTIVATION RESOURCE' section.

-[You have received Item; Spirit Candy]

"Spirit candy? the creator of this system sure knows how to name things" Oscar thought sarcastically.

Just as the name implied, a candy floated above Oscar's palm. It was the size of a human eye and golden brown in color.

When Oscar popped it into his mouth, it melted into a soft and cool energy, that rushed up straight into his head.

"Hmmm!" he moaned, his head becoming clear headed.

This feeling lasted for a minute before disappearing. To Oscar's shock, he felt his eye sight improve a bit.

Although it wasn't exaggerated to the point where he could see in the dark, he was quite conversant with his body.

Right from childhood, he had a serious eye problem where his sight appeared blurry. He managed to get an eye glass thanks to a humanitarian programme.

But now, he even felt that he could see quite well without using the glasses.

Friggin awesome!

A new notification rang from the system.

-[You have leveled up in Soul power!]

Indeed, Oscar noticed that the bar for his soul cultivation was filled to the brim.

Suddenly, his two cultivation bars suddenly went empty. However he didn't panic.

He knew he just had to consume some mana fruit and spirit candy to fill them up.

Only when they were filled up would he experience another level up.

As for how many mana fruits and Spirit candies needed for another level up, there was one way to find out..

-[Thanks for Playing!]

-[Thanks for Playing!]

-[Thanks for Playing!]

* * *

Oscar woke up the next day with eye bags. He didn't have enough rest since he was too busy drawing the lottery.

He managed to obtain two additional shop permits, five mana fruits and three spirit candies.

After eating two mana fruits, he had another level up. Doing the maths, he needed to devour four more mana fruits for another level up.

Since he had three mana fruits remaining, he just consumed them. As for his soul cultivation, he had another level up.

However, he needed three more spirit candies.

Getting up from the bed, He quickly freshened up and went to the sitting room.

"I am off now Landlord!" he yelled when he passed through the kitchen.

"Hey lad! won't you stay over for breakfast?!"

"I have a busy schedule today!"

Oscar was in quite a hurry to complete the system's daily quest;

Spend 50 thousand bucks!

Exiting Landlord Brock's apartment, he flagged down a taxi.

"Where to?" the taxi man asked respectfully.

Having learnt his lessons the previous day, Oscar discarded his old clothes. He was currently clad in a Dior Tshirt underneath a sweatshirt. Branded joggers and white nikes sneakers.

He looked just like those cool rich kids on fotocrib.

[AUTHOR EDIT: Fotocrib is my world's alternative for I*******m. Haha]

"Uhm. Do you know any car dealership stores? i want to buy a car" Oscar replied.

"Oh. There's one in Laurel lane. But it costs you five dollars"

Oscar sneered. He obviously knew the taxi man was over charging him.

However, he wasn't too bothered. He was rich now, so he didn't mind doing some charity.

    "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

    Just when Oscar was about to really go physical with Henry, a soft voice interrupted, breaking the tension. "Since you both claim to own the car. Why don't you prove it?" Shockingly, the one who spoke was Goldie. When the crowd saw that even Goldie was interferring, many of the males eyes blazed with desire. Henry wasn't an exception. Although Laura was beautiful, her beauty couldn't compare to that of Goldie. That fairy like lofty attitude had many of the males trippin' 'You would cherish what you don't have' That was the perfect description. "Since miss Goldie has spoken, pardon me boasting a bit" Henry gave a fake urbanly bow before flashing a set of keys. "Whoa! look at those keys! so flashy!" "They must cost alot!" "Hmph. Henry is definately the owner of the car. Oscar is just a pathetic clout chaser" Henry smirked smugly when he saw many people siding with him. It felt so damn good, especially when Goldie, the girl of his dream was present!"Hmph. What are you still

    "I'll speak with you later on a zoom" Oscar said as he was escorted out from the office building of Wu Republic Media by Madame Wura. However Madame Wura currently had a wide grin plastered on her beautiful face as she addressed Oscar respectfully while leading him out. "Uhm Mr. Oscar, it would seem that your chauffeur is yet to arrive?" Madame Wura commented as she casted her sharp gaze around, however she didn't see any exotic car parked at the garage, except for her sedan. "I'll prefer to walk" Oscar smiled as he attempted to take his leave. How could Madame Wura miss out from such a good opportunity?! "How can I let you do that!" she shook her head vehemently, appearing like she was the one about to do the trekking and not Oscar. "What do you mean?" Oscar gave her a knowing look as a smirk appeared on his cheeks. He could already more or less figure what she was about to do. "I am just trying to look out for you. The sun is currently scorching hot. For a young and hands

    "So what was your reason for coming?" After about ten minutes, Oscar eventually managed to convince Madame Wura that he wasn't a member of the Rising Krillin Mansion, and neither was he acting on their behalf. "Due to the earlier misunderstanding, I didn't get to introduce myself" Oscar didn't answer her question right away. "My name is Oscar and I am the CEO of Mo Bucks Inc" he introduced himself. "Mo Bucks Inc? excluding the fact that the name sounds lame and childish, I don't recall ever hearing about that kind of Company even among the list of third tier companies in this city" Oscar pinched his brows.. "You don't have to be so blunt about it. I newly created the company which is why you haven't heard of it. But trust me it's going to be the main topic on everyone's lips in time to come" Oscar had a confident smile on his face as he said this. Unfortunately, Madame Wura didn't take his words seriously, taking it as a teenager just spewing rubbish. "You still haven't

Hearing Laura's claims, the Security Guard finally turned towards the direction where her finger was pointed at. On seeing the unmoving body of a certain pot bellied individual, his pupils dilated in horror, causing him to be unable to form any coherent word. "Tch. What are you waiting for!" Laura snapped with a angry hiss. "Beat up this criminal before he tries escaping! I just called the Police and they are on their way right now!" she urged. "R-Right!" the head of the security guards finally regained his composure Turning towards his subordinates, he swiftly ordered them to grab Oscar.

    "I'm sorry miss. But my young master requests your presence" the culprit pointed towards the direction of a stationary Bugatti. "Your young master?" Oscar didn't know why, but his tone became unfriendly. "My young master is Young Master Kings... Tommy Kings!" "Tommy Kings?" Oscar frowned. "Why would he want to meet up with her? does he know her from somewhere?" Oscar questioned the messenger who only frowned with displeasure. "And who the fvck are you huh?" the messenger sized up Oscar with a haughty gaze. "I was speaking to the lady. Who are you to butt in huh?" "You sure act cocky for a mere underling" Oscar was flabbergasted at the other party's attitude. This was his first time coming across such an arrogant subordinate.

"To think he bid that much. Is he trying to challenge the Wills family?" All of those present were mainly the big shots of Silver Haven. As such, they couldn't recognize Oscar. "Oscar, what are you doing!" Goldie's heart almost leapt out from her chest as she heard Oscar call out his bid. "It's okay" Oscar flashed her a reassuring smile. Naturally, their small exchange didn't escape the notice of those present at the City Council Parley. "So he's with those from the Rising Krillin Manson huh?"

    "Looks like we are all present. Then let the event start" At a large round table within Silver Haven's City Hall, the top personas in the city were all gathered together. These important personas were either top business tycoons, politicians or Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the City's leading families. These were people who were regarded as phoenixes and dragons in the hearts of the common people, due to the amount of power and status they possessed The one who had just announced the start of the City Council Parley was an elderly man clad in well designed black suit with glasses positioned at the bridge of his nose. This man was Mr. Jared Crackers, the City Mayor. He wasn't a member of any of the top families of the city but was actually an outsider who was appointed by the government. Seated besides him was young man who had a look of arrogance on his expression. Judging by his expensive attire and the fact that he was seated besides the Mayor of the City, he wasn't a random

    Silver Haven City Hall was a large building structure, stationed at the heart of the bustling city. Usually, this building hardly had any visitors, but on this particular day, it was different. Currently, the premises of the City Hall was bustling with activity as the most important people in the city arrived one after the others, riding expensive and luxury vehicles.. Although Sandy's limo was an expensive automobile that was sure to attract attention on any road she drove on, it looked completely normal in the face of the fleets of expensive cars at the parking lot of the City Hall. "So many?!" Oscar was nearly blinded by the sheer amount of luxury cars before his eyes. Silver Haven was a large city and although he had kind of anticipated such a scene, he was still left reeling in shock and surprise. "We should go. The event would be happening in the next five minutes" Sandy's chauffeur opened the doors for them as they alighted down. Casting his eyes over the City Hall, Os

    "So this is the office building of your company" amazement was plastered on Johnny's face as he gazed at the sky rising building structure of Cloud Peach Grove. Besides him was Sandy, Oscar and Trunks. It was currently at the peak of noon. Currently, there was a fleet of delivery vehicles with their staffs offloading various equipments like chairs, laptops, tables, etc into the office building. "Let me give you a tour around the company building. This is going to be you guys workplace in the future , so it's best you familiarize yourself with the environment" Trunks suggested to the two new comers.
