2024-01-23 23:51:08"Now, what should I do?" Kaiden asked himself.
He had eaten and now felt full.
He had gone back to his house because he didn't know what to do. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with any ideas at all.
Kaiden had heard that poor people and rich people had different mindsets. The rich would find any opportunity that could be turned into money. And Kaiden now felt he had the mindset of a poor person, because he couldn't find any opportunities that he could turn into money.
[In that case, the system will give some hints that might help]
How happy Kaiden was to see the notification from the system.
[Try going anywhere, either on foot or on a bicycle, and look for ideas from there]
Kaiden's smile faded instantly, as it turned out that the system didn't give him any ideas. Maybe the system wanted Kaiden to figure it out on his own. But Kaiden thought it was better, if he depended on people's help all the time, how could Kaiden progress and get better?
Kaiden went out again, pedaling his bike, while paying attention to his surroundings. Who knew there was something that could give him an idea.
But Kaiden seemed to be going the wrong way, instead of going to the city, he went to the rice fields.
Because he was tired, Kaiden got off the bike and intended to rest for a while while enjoying the view of the clear river and green terraced rice fields.
Seeing such a view, Kaiden's mind suddenly became clear again. All this time he hadn't had a smartphone, maybe if he had one, Kaiden could find information more easily.
"Excuse me young man, can you help me?"
Kaiden turned to the origin of the voice and saw an old farmer smiling at him. From his smile, the man looked very tired, but still in good spirits.
Kaiden quickly got up and smiled back, "Of course sir, what can I do for you?" Kaiden asked.
"Please help me carry the coconuts I've picked to my house, carry them in a cart, so they won't be heavy." The old man said.
Kaiden nodded, "Of course I can."
The two of them went to where the old man was gathering the young coconuts he had picked from the tree.
Kaiden helped put all the coconuts into a wooden cart, and then pulled the cart with the old man.
"Are you going to sell all these coconuts?" Kaiden asked.
"No, I'm not going to sell them." The old man said quickly.
"Then why are you picking them if you're not going to sell them?" Kaiden asked curiously.
The man smiled bitterly, "Actually, someone said he wanted to buy them, so I picked that many. But he bid 0.3$ for one coconut when the market price is at least 0.5$ so I refused. It's better for me and my family to consume it ourselves than lose money if we sell it."
Wait a minute, Kaiden has bought young coconut ice, and the price can reach 1$ to 3$, depending on where it is sold. If it was sold at a tourist spot, then 3$ wouldn't be too much.
Maybe this was fate.
It was better for Kaiden to buy all the coconuts, while helping the man.
"Then let me just buy all these coconuts, at the market price, how about it, sir?" Kaiden asked.
The man looked incredulous, "Really? I know you are a young man whose mother and brother committed suicide, right? You're left with a lot of debts, instead of wasting money to help me, you'd better collect the money to pay the debts," said the old farmer.
Kaiden smiled, "Sir, don't worry just because I need money, I will buy all these young coconuts, then I will sell them as iced young coconuts so that I can get more money."
Hearing that, the old farmer smiled and tapped Kaiden on the shoulder.
"Then I'll help you, you see all those coconut trees over there? If you need young coconuts to sell as iced young coconuts, just come and call me, my house is nearby."
Kaiden didn't expect that the simple old farmer was a rich man, his house was very big and there was a black car that Kaiden didn't know what brand it was.
The man asked Kaiden to stop by his house before discussing the purchase of young coconuts.
A housemaid came to serve Kaiden drinks and snacks. Meanwhile, the old farmer went back to his room to change his dirty, sweat-smelling clothes.
"Where did Grandpa get such a poor young man, anyway?"
Suddenly a fashionable and sexy teenage girl appeared, looking at Kaiden with a disgusted and condescending gaze.
Well, that wasn't strange either, since Kaiden's appearance was shabby. Although for Kaiden it was the neatest look he could manage.
"Laura, you're rude!" Reprimanded the old farmer, she had come in a much better casual appearance than before. If it was like that, he looked like a rich man from the countryside.
"I hate poor youths, Grandpa! They can only complain without trying their best." Said the girl named Laura.
Kaiden could only smile wryly. The rich kid probably didn't understand that their version of trying and the poor person's version were much different, and that the poor person's path was more difficult, rocky, and thorny.
"You're wrong, this young man is different, he wants to buy grandfather's young coconuts, then resell them. He wants to start a business to raise money and pay his debts, he wants to try, so now respect him." Said the old farmer.
"Tsk, no way, I'm going to the mall first!" Laura said, then left the house just like that.
"Sorry son, my granddaughter is very spoiled. Let's talk about that, do you have the money?" Asked the old farmer.
Kaiden nodded, "I do, though not much."
"Where do you want to sell young coconut ice? Usually at the beach would be better, but even though selling there is free, you still need a stand and also a vehicle to carry the goods to the beach. I can help you if you want, how about it?" The old farmer offered.
"But won't I be inconvenienced?" Kaiden asked.
"Son, if there's a good man who wants to help when you're in trouble, take it, I don't want to take advantage of you, because you remind me of when I was young. I also started from nothing, absolutely nothing, without possessions and people's help. So I understand your predicament."
Kaiden nodded his head, "I want to be helped by you, please help me."
"Just call me Toni, that's my nickname."
"All right, Mr. Toni."
After that Toni engaged Kaiden in conversation, such as how Kaiden's family had chosen to commit suicide. Kaiden told Toni the truth.

He wanted to let his manager know that he was no longer able to work.Kaiden's previous workplace was a seafood restaurant, located near the beach. Kaiden was taking a look at the beach for tomorrow's business. It was a weekend, so there would definitely be a lot of visitors.Kaiden parked his bike in the employee parking lot, then entered through the back door as usual.Kaiden's job at the place was to help the chef in the kitchen.

Especially after knowing that Robby fired and beat Kaiden just because he was jealous of Kaiden.Randy really couldn't understand what made his son jealous, who had never been in trouble in his life, from Kaiden, who had been miserable since childhood. It made no sense to Randy.He was currently facing the two boys in his room. One was very haughty, unwilling to admit he was wrong, though now looking somewhat frightened. The other looked very resigned, but there was no look of fear on his face that Randy could see. Kaiden wouldn't be afraid if he wasn't wrong."So you took it for granted when Robby fired you, then you wanted to leave, but then Robby beat you up?" Asked Randy, he briefly glanced at his son Robby, his eyes showing that he was scared

Kaiden didn't care about the others, he just focused on himself. He knew the others were laughing at him, including someone he was familiar with.He was Fabiano, the son of the owner of the resort near the beach, and Kaiden's previous classmate.Bian, as he was usually called, was the class president who was known to be very kind and considerate to all students. However, not many people knew that Bian was actually still part of the school thugs who liked to bully other students.Bian does maintain his image, lest his parents know that he likes to bully other students, likes to smoke, skip school, and other juvenile delinquencies.He did look very handsome and like a good guy, but the truth was the opposite.Kaiden clearly didn't like Bian, as he often bullied Kaiden at school. Then Bian and his friends threatened Kaiden not to tell anyone after being bullied. Kaiden had a lot of trouble because of them.Once he almost broke his leg because he was beaten by them, but fortunately Kaiden

Kaiden was very happy when a new smartphone was brought out by the pretty employee, it was black in color. The blonde employee explained about the smartphone to Kaiden patiently, Kaiden himself asking a lot of questions because this was the first time he had seen such an expensive smartphone."It's useless for you to explain in such detail, because he won't be able to pay for everything," said Citra, the bitchy employee who used to be Kaiden's classmate. Citra had just served a customer who was well-dressed and looked rich, but didn't end up buying a smartphone."Even if he doesn't buy, we should still serve him well, that's what the shop owner said," said the blonde-haired girl."I warned you, he's a hobo, he has no money, he can't afford such an expensive smartphone." After saying that, Citra left again.The blonde employee turned back to Kaiden, "Do you want to buy or not? If you do want to buy, I can insert the SIM card as well."Kaiden nodded, "I'll buy it, here's the money, plea

Although the thugs who collected Kaiden's debt went home peacefully, they came with a ruckus.Thanks to them, Kaiden's house was a mess. There was even a hole in the roof, maybe they had thrown a rock or something.To be sure, Kaiden cleaned up the house immediately after they left.He knew that his house was very small and barely habitable. But it was his father's only inheritance, and the house and land had belonged to Kaiden since his father died.Kaiden also didn't understand why his father had given the house and land to Kaiden and not his mother.Because of this, his mother couldn't sell the land, as it had to be approved by Kaiden and Kaiden was adamant about not wanting to sell the house. They were so poor, if the house was sold, where would they live afterwards. That's what Kaiden thought. He didn't know that his decision would lead his mother to get into a lot of debt, then commit suicide and put it all on Kaiden.Kaiden just couldn't understand why his mother was like that.
The Tycoon Game System 9. Because of Jenni's help
Several hours had passed, Kaiden was tired of not having any other customers after the two little girls and the old man. It's not that Kaiden didn't try, he also tried to offer his wares to everyone who passed by, but they all just passed by him without bothering to turn their heads.Until Jennifer arrived, she was wearing casual clothes in the form of short jeans and also a white t-shirt. Kaiden was stunned to see the blonde haired girl. But after realizing, he immediately smiled at Jenni."Hello Kaiden, how is your merchandise today? How much have you sold?" Jenni asked to the point, making Kaiden feel annoyed again, but he just smiled as if everything was fine."Only sold one, maybe I'm just unlucky today, would you like to try the coconut ice?" asked Kaiden, thankful for the positive smile.Jenni smiled at Kaiden, who was still in good spirits, not depressed at all despite the lack of sales.Then Jenni nodded, "sure, I'd like one."While Kaiden prepared the coconut ice, Jenni took

The money Kaiden currently has is 26,080$. He immediately paid his debt of 20,000$, so his current debt has been paid 21,000$, that's what Kaiden thought.But it turned out that the $1,000 he gave to the thugs yesterday didn't count at all.Kaiden felt very upset, even though it wasn't easy to get that much money. The big master who reduced Kaiden's mother said he didn't work with the thugs anymore, because the police had warned him.The master was a good man, but the thugs used his power to blackmail the debtors. The lord had lost money because he had paid them, but the money that the debtors had deposited was partly taken by the thugs."You can open an account, Kaiden, these days it's very sophisticated, I see you already have a smartphone, open an account, so you can manage your debts through your smartphone, you don't have to come to me in person." said the lord, then he took a drag on his cigarette, then exhaled the smoke slowly, making Kaiden feel claustrophobic."Alright, I'll

I'll jump up there." the girl replied, also shouting."I can only fish for small fish and she's already brought in a fish this big." muttered Jake, astonished by Lency's catch, which Kaiden was putting into the fish box."That means you lost to a kid." Kaiden said.Then there was a loud splash as Lency jumped from the sea onto the yacht."Hey, slow down!" Jake shouted, startled by the sound."Can you carry me? I need to change." the girl pleaded with Jak

The morning air feels so fresh. Then, when your nose smelled the delicious aroma of meat, your stomach suddenly rumbled.Jake, who had just woken up, saw that Kaiden had cooked the meat, he made a stir-fry that was not too spicy.In addition, there were also cooked meat satay. Kaiden served it with a slightly spicy peanut sauce mixed with sweet soy sauce.Jake was starving to see it all.Kaiden turned his head and saw that Jake and Charles had come out of the tent. Both were staring at the food with hungry eyes.Kaiden laughed and called out to them, "Jake, Charles, come and eat. Charles wake up Nicho too, let's have breakfast. The rice is already cooked." Kaiden said.Jake who had just realized that Charles had woken up with him jumped, he would have cursed if he hadn't seen Lency sitting there waiting for the food to cook."Come here Jake, try this meat satay." Lency eagerly offered Jake a skewer with large meat. Cut very precisely with a size of 1×1 cm per piece of meat.It looked
158. In the other world
In fact, just an hour ago Kaiden said he wanted to go home, now they were at the market.It was the market in the city of Milez, close to the forest position where Kaiden and Lency had arrived.Milez City was near the empire, so it was quite far from where Lency was from. Even so, still.Lency sighed heavily, she and Kaiden were being noticed by the people around there. Mainly because their appearance was too flashy.Even though they were already wearing clothes that matched the people of this world.Perhaps it was because Kaiden and Lency's appearance didn't look like ordinary people, more like royalty.Even if someone said Kaiden was the King of a distant land, they would still believe it.She don't know what the story was, but Kaiden had gotten clothes, money, and horses. Lency didn't really comment, after all if Kaiden could just come to this world, there must be something.Lency was sure that Kaiden had some kind of great magic.It couldn't be otherwise, because that was the only

Unexpected things happen all the time, like this time.Right when Jake arrived, which was around eight in the evening, it suddenly started to rain.Although their tent wouldn't be flooded by rainwater, it meant they couldn't go outside.The sky was supposed to be clear tonight and the stars were clearly visible. Because the area around the pink beach has very little light pollution, the night sky is clear.Unlike the big city, which has a high level of light pollution, it is almost impossible to see the stars.The sound of the rain was loud, but that didn't stop them from having fun.The grown men were playing cards while drinking hot coffee. While the children were also not sleeping, watching them play cards while drinking their hot chocolate."Hahaha I won again!" said Kaiden for who knows how many times. They got bored because every game, Kaiden always won. Even if it was Kaiden's first time playing."Oh come on, you must be the main character in this world, so you have some kind o

Around one in the afternoon, Nicho and Lency returned. The lunch Kaiden had cooked was also finished. So was the small mackerel that Charles had fried."Did you guys have fun?" Kaiden asked as the kids sat waiting for the food to be prepared.Both of them nodded enthusiastically."Did you just buy all the merchandise from the vendors around here?" asked Lency."That's right, I was just helping out a local vendor." said Kaiden, as he prepared the beef stew that he had cooked in a pressure cooker to make the meat softer."No wonder the owner of the big store is angry." muttered Nicho."Big store?" Charles asked."It's a big store that used to be very crowded, but after Kaiden bought up the small vendors' wares and distributed them, the store started to get quiet. And the owner got angry." replied Nicho.Lency nodded in agreement with Nicho's answer, "That's right, he said, he had gone to the trouble of spreading rumors not to buy at any other store than his own."Apparently there was su

"Kids, be quiet!" "We're not loud, Charles! We're just playing a game."Charles rolled his eyes in disgust, his brother was not one to be told off.It was only Nicho, Lency, and Charles going to the camp. Of course with their guardian, Kaiden.Kaiden himself just smiled as he drove his mini van casually.He had deliberately chosen a normal car to go to camp. There was no point in bringing a luxury car when going with children.After all, his mini van was of good quality, perfect for traveling some distance."Why are you getting angry?" asked Kaiden."That's the reason why I want to come with you, I have a lot on my mind right now. I thought if I came with you I could relax, but those kids are so noisy in the back." said Charles, he leaned his head on the car seat, covering his eyes with the palm of his hand."Nicho and Lency be quiet, let Charles sleep. Don't you want to go for a ride? I asked you to go out of town, but you're playing games instead." Kaiden said.Charles secretly smi
154. How about camping?
When Kaiden was little, he thought his mother and Aiden had their reasons for hating Kaiden. For example, because Kaiden couldn't get good grades in math... ah, but Aiden was even worse in all school subjects.Or, because Kaiden couldn't make money... but, Aiden spent more money.Kaiden was very curious and wanted to know the reason, so he could change himself and be loved by them.However, only his father loved him.Now, in this moment, when Kaiden knew everything, he still wondered.He was just a little boy who didn't know anything, why was he hated back then?Kaiden knew that not everyone liked children, but if you saw a child who could already do a lot of chores and was polite, would you still hate him?It was around four in the morning.Kaiden sat leisurely with a cup of hot coffee, watching the television that was showing the latest news.It just so happened that the news was about child abduction and the sale of children by individuals who were apparently supported by some infl
153. You're too kind, Kaiden, damn it!
Kaiden walked up to Aiden, he was not only eating there, but also filming himself.Kaiden knew that nowadays, most of young people were loved by the content creator phenomenon.It could be that Aiden was doing what was called being a content creator. By eating luxurious food in a luxurious villa as well."Sir, that man from yesterday claimed to be your brother, he also provided proof of a photo of you as a child." said a waiter as Kaiden approached."It's okay, let him be my business, you better rest, okay?" said Kaiden, in a gentle and understanding tone.Kaiden was indeed a wealthy man who was kind and friendly. He was never arrogant even though his wealth would not run out for eight generations.It was unbelievable that a young and handsome crazy rich man like Kaiden had such bad luck in love."Thank you, sir! I'll take my leave." the waiter and a few other waiters in the dining room left.Kaiden had forbidden Jake, Nicho or anyone else from approaching. He was about to face his ow
152. Get rid of the Mafia
As planned, Kaiden was taken by Abigail's uncle to where the mafia was.Of course, Kaiden pretended to want to buy the girl, so that he could find out who the mafia was.Because it was useless if Kaiden just hid the little girl, surely the mafia would look for other child victims.However, Kaiden knew that the mafia in question was just a group of thugs, and couldn't possibly be as big as the Italian mafia. In a way, it was just an amateur mafia. Although the crime was just as big.Human trafficking this time, huh?Kaiden was sure this kind of thing existed in every country.Kaiden was in the largest tropical country with a population of 280 million. Not as big as America, but certainly not a small number.With such a large population, there is great competition in society. People do whatever they can to make money, including the most heinous things they can do.Like selling innocent children to the mentally ill."This guy is going to buy Abigail, boss!" Abigail's uncle said.The litt
