The Trillionaire System

Chapter 6

He stood up immediately, wondering what sort of magic this was. While he stood in bewilderment, the system displayed a notification.

Ping!

[Host can convert the available coins into cash into their bank account.

Note: Host's bank account has been automatically linked with the system.]

Then another piece of information popped up instantly,

[Do you want to convert now?]

[Yes/No]

David wiped his face with his hands. He couldn't believe everything that was happening right in front of him. He thought his eyes were only fooling him. He pushed aside his doubt and clicked on the 'Yes' option, giving it a try.

In a blink of an eye, a new information popped up,

[Congratulations! Your conversion was successful.]

Before his brain could process what he just read, he heard a notification sound on his phone. He fished it out of his pocket and saw a jaw-dropping credit alert.

"What?!" he exclaimed loudly. He blinked his eyes several times and read again.

'Congratulations! Your account XXXX XX0531 has been credited with the sum of $1,000,000,000.'

David still found everything happening to him unbelievable. He had never in his life received such a huge amount of money. He thought maybe he was lost in imagination or actually dreaming.

"I know what to do," he muttered and logged into his mobile app. He was dumbfounded to see his current balance. $1,000,000,003 boldly appeared on his cracked screen phone.

At this moment, he believed everything happening was so real. He was confused whether he should leave the spot or remain there.

"Maybe the system only works here. I don't want to lose this large sum of money," he said aloud to himself.

Suddenly, he heard a robotic voice in his head,

[Dear master, I would love to inform you that the system works everywhere.]

He was shocked and peered around to find out where the voice came from but saw nothing.

"Who are you?" he asked with fear in his heart.

[I'm the Trillionaire system, and I will be your companion from now onward.]

'A Trillionaire system?' he thought deeply.

"I've never heard of such. What have I done to deserve the system?"

[Worry less about those details as they will be revealed to you with time.]

'This is so strange!' he thought silently but decided not to upset the system by asking more questions. After all, the system just gave him a free $1,000,000,000.

Ping!

The system displayed another information,

[Host will be given different types of tasks that need to be carried out within a certain duration of hours to earn more money.

Note: Failure to carry out the tasks will result in Host elimination.]

"Death!" he wailed.

"Is that not too much?" he decided to swallow his words. He never wanted to make any silly mistake that would lead him to regret.

"It seems the system knows everything that's running in my heart," he muttered.

"Well, as long as I earn more money, I'm ready for the task," he said happily.

Ping!

A notification displayed instantly.

[A new task unlocked]

[Mission: Spend $50 million in the next 24 hours]

[Reward: $500 million]

David opened his mouth in awe, staring at the screen before him.

"What sort of challenge is this? A whopping sum of $50 million!" he exclaimed.

Then he heard the robotic voice again.

[I will always help you out with hints on any task given to you. You could get yourself a good meal at the Uppertek hotel and also buy a house in Wilson housing estate.]

"Wow! Thank you for the suggestion. This system is so kind," he appreciated the system.

[I'm at your service anytime, Master.]

David wondered how he found it difficult to think of such a suggestion himself. Poverty had already sunk into his head that he couldn't think straight. He was actually wondering how the system would challenge him to spend that kind of huge money in just 24 hours.

[Dear Master, your time starts now.]

[23 hours, 59 minutes, 6 seconds remaining]

Without wasting much time, he found a way out of the place he was thrown and then boarded a cab to the Uppertek hotel.

In a few minutes, he got to his destination and paid the cabbie with the last $10 note in his pocket. He thought of turning back when he got to the entrance. The security officers were already signaling him not to come close, but he insisted. He was on a mission that must be carried out without wasting much time.

"Hey, are you here to steal?" one of the security officers asked him bluntly.

The rest of them looked at each other with a wicked smile and brought out their batons.

David felt annoyed with their arrogance, but he couldn't blame them because he knew his clothes were torn and his shoes had worn.

"I'm not here for that, gentlemen," he declared with a grin.

"I need some good food, that's why I'm here," he added.

The security officers glanced at each other again and burst into a roaring laughter.

At this moment, David was already seething. How could they look down on him this much?

"I thought people like you starve all their life?" one of the officers let out again, nonchalantly.

"Come on! that's not true, I heard they only eat once in a week" one of them remarked, making them all laughed out, mockingly.

David's heart was burning so hard, he decided to ignore them and find a way into the hotel. Immediately he walked close to the door, he felt a cold hand on his arm, who dragged him away.

Then he heard the robotic voice.

"You have 23 hours and 48 minutes left to complete the mission."

"Please, just let me in. I won't cause a scene, that's not why I'm here," he pleaded.

"We don't have time for whatever reason that brought you here. Leave immediately before you get beaten up," one of them threatened.

[The Cicada Hotel is opposite the Uppertek Hotel, you can check it out.]

The robotic voice suggested. He turned around and saw the hotel. It looked more luxurious than the Uppertek Hotel. Without wasting any time, he went inside. The security men at the Uppertek Hotel were looking at him, waiting for him to be thrown out like a garbage.

"Welcome to the Cicada Hotel, sir," a young lady in her 20's greeted him as he entered.

"Thank you," he responded warmly.

"How may I be of service, sir?" she asked politely.

David felt relieved and thanked the system in his heart for giving him a better suggestion.

"I want the most expensive meals you have," he declared boastfully.

The lady was shocked. She had a gaze at him but continued the conversation.

"For that, you'll need to get a Golden membership card that costs $1 million," she explained.

"I'm ready. How do I make the payment?" he asked confidently.

"And I'd like to make a $10 million top-up as well."

The lady was puzzled by what she heard, but she wanted to pretend as if the amount is nothing, until she ask again.

"How much do you said you wanted to deposit, sir?

"$10 million" he replied softly.

What baffled her the most is the way he boastfully mentioned the amount again when she asked.

'How can someone who looks so cheap like this, lavish such amount on foods? Where did he get such amount from?' she questioned in her heart then she asked him some information as she registered him on the computer.

The registration was successful then she was waiting for the credit alert as she watched him operate his phone. She knows what to do if it turns out he was playing a prank. She will not only ordered the security men to beat him but to also make sure all his teeth leave his mouth.

Suddenly, she saw a message on the computer before her. She was disappointed, she couldn't close her mouth. She was bewildered when she saw the credit in the hotel's bank account.

"Your account has been credited with the sum of $10,000,000 from David Anderson," she read with her mouth wide open.
