Chapter 121 [Bonus ]First Income Reward
They arrived in the room, leaving behind Gabriel who was still in a fit of laughter. After they took their seats in the prince palace, they again remained silent for a while, not sure who was going to start speaking.r
As a man, Jack decided to take the initiative to speak. So, he cleared his throat and was just about to speak when Celine cut in.r
"Jack, these two are my friends. They are Wendy and Angy, but I think that the three of you know each other. Wendy, Angy, this is Jack, the owner of this mansion. He's been helping me here in Inchoate city." Celine said as she gazed at the two.r
"Well, I don't think I need to reintroduce the relationship between Celine and I. So, I can say that Jack and I are acquaintances. We met in crystal city one year ago and last week in venture city." Wendy spoke.r
She had decided not to speak about the engagement between the two of them in Jack's presence. He had already said that he didn't acknowledge the engagement.r
Just to make sure that the relationship that was already weak wouldn't collapse, she wasn't ready to say something that would displease Jack.r
Seeing that the ladies had explained the relationship between them, Jack decided not to meddle and let things be as they were. Additionally, he was impressed that Wendy didn't say that he was her fiancé.r
Had she actually insisted that he was her fiancé, he would definitely make sure that he maintained a good distance from her. He didn't recognize the engagement and neither did he know Wendy for him to actually agree to it.r
On the other hand, Angy frowned. Wendy actually said that she and Jack were actually acquaintances? This was completely out of her expectations.r
Hadn't Wendy told her that the two of them were engaged? What the heck with this acquaintances nonsense? She was just about to ask what was going on when she felt Wendy's grip on her hand.r
Seeing that Wendy was shaking her head at her, she decided not to say a word. At least for now, she wouldn't say a word and wait till they were alone. She would have to get answers from this lady.r
Having cleared everything, the group chatted for a few minutes before Jack went upstairs to refresh and take a rest. According to the agreement, they would be leaving at ten. So, since it was still six in the morning, he thought that he still had time to relax his stiff muscles a bit.r
After taking a shower, Jack jumped on the bed and was about to close his eyes when they shot open. That was because he had just received a system prompt that reminded him of the time that he had gotten the system.r
[First month of income earning. Rewarded with Glaze Hotel.]r
It was only a single prompt but it had reminded him of something important that he had actually forgotten. But at the same time, he actually remembered that today was actually on Saturday, the first day of August.r
In other words, this was going to be the second month that he was going to start. Although he had gotten the system on thirteenth of July, the system evaluated things differently.r
Although it was true that it had yet to be a month since he had gotten the system, the system used the normal calendar. So, according to the system, a month had gone by. And, he had been earning during this month.r
Even though it was only from betting and the grocery department, at least, he had earned something big. Additionally, all the other incomes from the institutions and companies was going to be multiplied on this very day.r
Of course, this only applied to the security company, the hospital, and the Medical Research Centre. Then, there was another thing that he was going to receive as well. That was the First Income reward.r
Back to what he had just received at the moment. He had just been awarded with Glaze Hotel. Just like Good Vision Security Limited, Glaze Hotel was a well known hotel business in the country.r
It had several branches all over the country. Although not every city had the branch hotel, at least inchoate city had one.r
Although Jack had yet to confirm the actual value of glaze hotel, he was sure that it was nothing small. It had to be worth at least $10B.r
Without wasting time I'm thinking, he got his phone and searched for the details of the hotel. And soon, he found the results that he was looking for.r
Glaze hotel, a five star hotel with branches in over thirty cities in the country. Azima country itself had five provinces, Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and finally Central province.r
Amongst the five provinces, the Central province was the leading one in terms of technological development. It was also where the capital was located.r
As for the other four provinces, they were far bigger than the Central province. But, at the end of the day, they were the least developed. The reason for this being the fact that the current leader of the country was someone who thought that centralization was better.r
In other words, he thought that it was better to have the Central province developed first before the fruits of the development are spread to the other five provinces.r
So, the other four provinces were actually not that much developed. Although they were not completely ignored, it was true that they were still lagging behind.r
The only saving grace of the four provinces was that, they were the main source of food in the country. Since there was a lot of space, there were several plantations in the four provinces that were enough to satisfy the population with food.r
But of course, there were other things that had to be imported from other countries as it was obvious that the climate in the country couldn't support every type of crop.r
Back to the topic, in Azima country, there were fifty seven cities. With glaze hotel already spreading to thirty cities, one could see that it had covered over half of the cities.r
The main focus of the hotel was obviously the central province. The region had seven cities. These six cities had been greatly developed just like Kartu city.r
So, Glaze Hotel had spread to these seven cities. And after that, there were a few other cities that were randomly selected to have a branch.r
But, the top management of the hotel had plans to have the hotel spreading to all cities in the country. But, it seemed that he would have to take on that.r
After calming down a little, Jack thought of something that he had always not thought of before. How does the system actually get these assets?r
[You don't have to worry about that. The system has already created a group that can be viewed as a legal one. This group has money. So, it is assumed by others that the group bought the companies or shares for you.]r
[So, all that you need to do is to put your signature and everything will be solved. One more thing, if the bank Investigates the money that is coming to your account once the multiplier effect takes place, they would find that the source is the group.]r
Jack was amazed by the system. It actually had such an ability? He was now curious about the group that the system had made. 'What's the name of this group?'r
[Don't mind that. You'll know about it in the future. Maybe you will be rewarded with that group as long as you complete a certain requirement or there is a need for that to happen.]r
Jack shook his head. The system was actually trying to play mysterious here. Anyway, since it was said that he would know about it in the future, he decided to not think about it for the time being.r
But then, he came with an idea that made him excited. 'System, can you help me with the issues of the signatures? I don't want to start moving around in the future just for a signature.'r
[….]r
The system was silent for a moment before finally replying.r
[The role of the system here is to make sure that the host knows the importance of working hard. If you are lazy to even move around to sign the transfer agreement, won't the system actually being hosted by a lazy host?]r
Jack had his mouth hanging for a while, he was actually speechless. What the heck with the system? Wasn't it just a signature? Anyway, Jack thought for a moment before replying. 'Just imagine that I will have to get from the southern province and head to the northern province, all just so as to put a signature? Won't that be a waste of time?'r
Jack then continued, 'That time could be used by me to do other things. It's not like I will be idling. One more thing, the time that I will be spending on the plane while traveling, wouldn't I be lazing around?'r
[You can just ask them to bring the contract to you.]r
Jack: "…."r
He actually didn't know what to say for a moment. But, as a human, he obviously had something to say. 'But, I will have to set time aside just to put a signature. The time that I will be going through the documents and chatting with the one that brought the agreement over, that would be a waste of time.'r
[….]r
There was no reply again for a period of time. Then, the reply came only after two minutes.r
[Okay then. They system will help you in completing all the procedures for the transfer of the shares and other assets. But, in return, with every company you get, you will have half a year to increase the net value by a hundred percent.]r
Jack was at first satisfied. But, when he heard the condition for that to happen, he couldn't help but want to complain. But, thinking about the situation, he thought that all the same, he was going to increase the value of the companies.r
As for the half a year timeline, he was sure that he would manage. With time, he was sure that his influence would have grown to a greater extend in that he would be able to easily solve that problem.r
Jack was so confident about this in that he forgot about something important. The net worth of a company didn't simply depend on the amount of money that was invested. It needed more than that.r
A good example would be the research institutions. No matter the amount of money, unless the scientists managed to complete the research and had gotten positive results, the amount of money wouldn't matter.r
Then, another system prompt appeared. This time, Jack was clearly even more excited about what was coming next.r
[Get ready, the income of the companies that are multiplied on a monthly basis is up next. Be prepared…]r
