Chapter 2 - Task

The next morning Eli woke up with a feeling of anxiety, and felt like the last night was all a dream so in his head he said the words "system" and the system interface appeared right before his eyes and Eli breath a sigh of relief and he decided to check what the interface of the system entails and saw something which says

IN ORDER TO GET BONUS REWARDS, COMPLETE TASKS FROM THE SYSTEM

BECAUSE YOU ARE IN LVL1 YOU CAN ONLY EARN 500O YUAN IN CASH OR 5000 YUAN WORTH OF ASSETS.

TASKS COULD BE RANDOM WITH A TIME LIMIT OF 24 HOURS

PUNISHMENT FOR FAILING TASKS INCLUDES LOSS OF ASSETS.

After seeing this Eli was both excited and nervous. Eli knew he had to upgrade the system in order to earn more money daily and he knew that the tasks could be challenging and he could lose the assets he his trying to build up.

Eli decided to push the issue to the back of his mind and left for work. The morning air was cris,and the streets of Dragon City was a bustling metropolis filled with the usual chaos of street vendors yelling,commuters rushing to catch the bus and the honking of vehicles.

He walked into the restaurant to start his dishwashing shift and after a grueling 9 hour of working he finally completed his shift on his way back through the busy market street , his phone vibrated. A new notification from the system appeared before his eyes

NEW TASK ASSIGNED

TASK HELP SOMEONE IN NEED WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

REWARD: 5000 YUAN

PENALTY: -2000 YUAN DEDUCTED FROM YOUR BALANCE

Eli stopped in his tracks, although the task seems easy the thought of failing the task made him worried.

"Help someone? What does that even mean, do I donate money to charity, give money to a beggar or help an old woman cross the road ?" Eli muttered to himself, trying not to look crazy in front of passerbys.

He sighed heavily but and continued walking and thought to himself "maybe an opportunity will present itself".

As he continued on his way home, when he got home he checked the fridge only to find out that there is nothing available to eat. But he was starving after walking so hard throughout the day and he may become sluggish during his second job so feeling confident with over 1000 yuan in his pocket Eli decided to walk over to a small restaurant close to his house with the cheapest price of food starting at 50 yuan as soon as he got there Eli ordered variety food worth 156 yuan including rice and chicken.

After he was done eating he walked up to the cashier but had to wait due to an elderly mam in front of him who was being yelled at by the cashier

"I told you already we do not sell on credit here!. If you can't pay, you will have to leave"

The hold man who looked frail and weak clutched his stomach, opened his mouth and said "please I just need a little bit of food to eat I promise to pay it back later"

Eli's heart began beating rapidly because he knew that an opportunity is now available to help complete the tak given to him by the system.

So he got up and went over to ther counter pulled out his phone and said " I will pay for his meal" and tapped his phone on the scanner.

The cashier processed the order. While the old man looked up at Eli with eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you, young man. You don't know how much this means to me"

At that moment Eli phone vibrated

Eli's eyes widened with disbelief and he thought to himself "I finally have a new way to make more money".

Eli made his way back home happily to start his second job.
